readx; Liu Yan's words were like a key, solving Li Qing'an's doubts, although he also knew that Liu Yan was not comprehensive, such as his identity as King Zhao, far greater than An Lushan's threat, blocking himself in Anxi, Li Yu could focus his energy on the east and deal with An Lushan and the other three kings, but in any case, the currency dispute is also an important factor, at least a fuse, it makes Li Qing'an see Li Yu's weak and anxious side, he is eager to collect money and recruit troops, but he never dares to offend the powerful, then more people will be disappointed in him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Liu Yan was the first, but by no means the last.

After resting for two days in Ashucheng, Li Qing'an continued to go north, and half a month later, Li Qing'an and his party finally returned to Broken Leaves.

"I now know that the Holy Lord's break with the Great General was the biggest mistake he made, and he can get the support of the Great General, and he has no silver for nothing!"

Liu Yan couldn't help but sigh again, he had already said this sentence three times, since he saw the huge mines and mountains of silver ingots in the Boxishan Silver Mine, this financial expert seemed to be stimulated, and sighed and sighed all the way, which made Li Qingan's personal soldiers secretly feel funny.

"Actually, what Mr. sees is only a tip of Anxi's wealth."

Li Qing'an slowed down his horse, and said with a smile in parallel with him: "Our trade with Byzantium has rich benefits, and there is land, endless fertile land, which is the greatest wealth of our Anxi, and there are honest and efficient officials and brave and loyal soldiers, which is the wealth of our Anxi." ”

"But I'm only interested in silver and gold."

Liu Yan blinked his small eyes and added: "No way, natural interest!" ”

Li Qingan couldn't help laughing when he heard him admit that he was cute: "Okay! Let's talk about gold and silver, Mr. saw the Bo Xi Mountain silver mine is actually only a very small part of the Anxi silver mine, Qianquan Mountain's silver reserves are greater than Bo Xi Mountain, as well as the silver ore of the Green Ridge, high quality, easy to mine, the reserves are the first in the world, we have discovered, but the lack of manpower mining, as well as the sand gold of the Broken Leaf River, will make you feel that it is so easy to get rich, we are ready to organize manpower to mine gold, if Mr. is interested, you may wish to follow the first gold mining fleet to see. ”

Liu Yan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he muttered, "I'm going, I must go." ”

He suddenly realized and hurriedly said: "But what if the Central Plains cuts off trade with Anxi, and can't exchange so much gold and silver for goods?" ”

Li Qing'an smiled slightly: "Mr. is too worried, we can produce our own goods without the Central Plains, in fact, we have long expected this day, so there are many workshops in Anxi, silk, white cloth, porcelain, pig iron, bronze, weapons, paper, pens and other materials, even including the necessary tea, we can go to sea from Suthorn Wabi in Punjab and use sea ships to buy tea along the Datang coast, we have taken these into consideration, I am not worried at all." ”

Liu Yan couldn't help but be leisurely fascinated and said with a smile: "It seems that I have a lot of things to do when I come to Anxi." ”

"The first thing you have to do now is to speed up your horse, or else we'll have to go home in the middle of the night."

Li Qing'an whipped his horse fiercely, and the team sped up and galloped towards Broken Leaf City, which was dozens of miles away.

Although Li Qing'an hurried up, he still arrived at Broken Leaf City at the second watch, and his army went directly into the military camp outside the city to rest, Liu Yan was also exhausted, and found a camp tent in the military camp and slept, but Li Qing'an was worried about the situation at home, and brought more than 100 personal soldiers into the city overnight.

The main thoroughfare of Broken Leaf Castle is also called Suzaku Street, and it is lined with lush apple trees, and in autumn, the streets are full of fruits, red and full, and the city is filled with an alluring sweet fragrance.

But it was already October at this time, and the chill of early winter enveloped Shattered Leaf City, and although it had not snowed yet, the thick white air coming out of his mouth was enough to prove that autumn had passed.

The night sky was clear and the sky was full of stars, Li Qingan tried his best to lighten the horse's hooves and walked in small steps, lest the fierce sound of the horse's hooves break the quiet night.

Soon, he came to the back of the political affairs hall, this is his home, but the situation in front of him made him a little stunned, his home has become an empty house, and the Broken Leaf Mansion has hung a large white sign at the gate, which reads: 'Empty house, idlers do not enter'.

Li Qingan looked at the door in a daze, has he moved? I didn't know why, but at this moment, I heard 'Bang! Bang! Bang! It's been three shifts.

"Go, get the husband."

Li Qing'an commanded in a low voice, and immediately two personal soldiers rushed up, and in a moment the husband was arrested, it was an old man in his sixties, Li Qing'an had seen it, and he had been working near his residence.

"Uncle, do you still know me?"

The old man's mind was not very sensitive, and after looking at Li Qingan for a long time, he suddenly reacted, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "General, the people don't know, forgive the sin!" ”

Li Qingan gave his soldiers a look and asked them to help the old man.

"Uncle, I'm going home, but my home is gone, I want to ask you, where did you move?"

Only then did the old man understand, he scratched his head and smiled: "It turns out that the general can't find his own home, he has moved a few months ago, it is Mrs. Luo's house, the house with the largest broken leaves, and there is a very high white tower." ”

"I see, thank you, uncle!"

Li Qingan took out the ingot of silver from the horse bag, stuffed it to him, turned back to the soldiers and smiled: "The house is very big, there is enough place for everyone to live, let's go!" ”

He turned on his horse and led his guards to the corner of the street, and the old man stood there as if he were stupid, taking the ingot, which weighed twenty taels of silver.

Walking through two streets, Li Qing'an finally came to his new home, there will be no mistake, the plaque above the gate reads 'Zhao Wangfu' three dragons flying phoenix dance, in Li Qing'an's memory, there was originally a plaque on it, which reads 'Li Mansion', and now the thing is returned to the original owner and has become his own mansion.

It was very quiet in front of the mansion, and there were two large heavy lanterns hanging with a faint light, and at this time, a soldier ran up the steps and patted the knocker, and in a moment, the lookout on the side door opened, and a sleepy-eyed porter stuck out his head to look at them, and could not help but be a little stunned.

"What's the hysteria, hurry up and open the door, the general is back."

"Ahh The porter was taken aback and hurriedly opened the door.

"Hurry up! The lord is back. ”

He shouted, and was about to run into the mansion to report, but his own soldiers were sick and grabbed him, Li Qingan stepped forward and said: "It's late at night now, don't make noise with everyone, just call the housekeeper." ”

"Yes! Be! The porter rushed in to report it.

Everyone led the horses into the gate one after another, and at this time, Steward Zhang had heard the news and rushed over, and stepped forward to salute: "I don't know if the master is back, I am not prepared, I hope the master will forgive me!" ”

Li Qingan nodded and smiled: "I don't blame you, you go and arrange the soldiers first, and I will go to the inner house by myself, by the way, how are the family members?" ”

"Good! Good! Everyone is good, Mrs. is in good health, please go into the inner house to rest first! ”

Steward Zhang hurriedly asked the two maids to lead Li Qing'an into the mansion, and he went to arrange the soldiers' food and lodging, and the two maids took Li Qing'an along a winding corridor with lanterns and walked towards the inner mansion.

His mansion is the largest family house in Broken Leaf City, covering an area of more than 30 acres, the houses are stacked on top of each other, there are hundreds, and there is also a vast back garden, full of lush flowers and trees, all kinds of pavilions and pavilions are hidden in it, among which there is a stone tower more than ten zhang high, the whole body is white, it is very famous in the broken leaves, the broken leaves people call it the white tower, before the bell tower of the political hall was not built, it has always been the first tallest building of the broken leaves, it is the first generation of descendants of the prince to build, standing on the top of the tower and looking east, as if you can see the distant hometown, That's why it's also called the Homesick Tower.

Passing through a courtyard, there was a small river in front of it, and there was a small wooden bridge, and after crossing the bridge, there was an inner house, when suddenly several lanterns appeared in front of me, and they were coming this way.

The lantern went up the small bridge, and Li Qingan saw it at a glance, and the person who came was his wife Dugu Mingyue, "Is it the husband?" Mingyue also saw him.

Li Qingxin was hot and strode forward, "It's me, Mingyue!" ”

Mingyue just got the news that her husband came back, she was pleasantly surprised, she didn't even have time to comb her hair, she pulled it a little, put on a piece of clothing and greeted her, at this time, she heard her husband's voice, her heart was very excited, and she was anxious to run down the bridge, but her body was heavy and she almost fell, and the maid next to her hurriedly supported her.

At this time, Li Qingan found his wife's bulging belly, and couldn't help but be stunned, he has been fighting abroad for half a year, and he is far away from home, communication is extremely inconvenient, there is no news from home, he has been thinking about Rushi, counting that she is about to give birth, but he doesn't know that Mingyue is also pregnant.

Mingyue thought that her husband would rush up and hold her in her arms, and her heart was full of anticipation, but he stared at his stomach and was stunned, and couldn't help but say coquettishly: "What's the daze, don't hurry up and hold me." ”

Li Qingan woke up at this time, and hurriedly stepped forward to support his wife, "This.... What's going on? ”

Mingyue listened to his question, and her heart was itching with hatred, and she was in the way of the maid next to her, so she had to quietly pinch him on the arm, "What do you say!" ”

Li Qingan was in ecstasy, he had another child, at this time, a gust of river wind blew, Mingyue suddenly shivered, Li Qingan hurriedly took off his cloak and wrapped it in his wife, and helped her to walk towards the inner house, "It's cold outside, hurry up and enter the house!" ”

Mingyue reacted a lot at the beginning of her pregnancy and suffered a lot, but now she finally heard that her husband cared about herself, she was aggrieved and moved in her heart, so she hugged her husband's arm coquettishly, leaned her head on his shoulder, and whispered: "I wanted to write you a letter, but I was afraid of distracting you, so I decided to surprise you, are you happy?" ”

"Of course I'm happy, I'm happier than I've won a hundred big battles."

Li Qingan hugged his wife's body and said with a smile: "When I come back this time, I must watch my child be born no matter what, and I want all the soldiers and civilians in Anxi to share my joy together." ”

"Husband, Rushi is also very good, the midwife said, she is just a few days old."

"I'm counting that it should be these days, and I'll stay at home and not go anywhere."

"Well, the midwife said that I can't see her at this time, so you should do your best!"

While talking, the two walked into the courtyard where Mingyue lived, the lights in the room were already on, and a mother-in-law greeted her and said, "Madam, the hot water has been boiled, and the food will be delivered immediately." ”

Mingyue nodded, "Thank you for your hard work, go and rest!" ”

She smiled at Li Qingan again: "I guess you are also hungry, there are ready-made meals in the kitchen, I asked them to heat them up." ”

Li Qingan said with a smile: "Actually, you don't need to be so troublesome, just wash your feet with hot water, eat two cakes, and then find a place to sleep." ”

Mingyue took her husband's hand into the room, the room was lit with a charcoal basin, which was exceptionally warm, Mingyue patted a few pine needles on his shoulder, and took off his robe for him. Now it's not a war outside, look at how thin you have become, I want to give you a good recuperation during this time. ”

At this time, two maids came in with food boxes, put more than a dozen plates of food on the table, and warmed a pot of wine, Mingyue said to the two maids: "Go to sleep!" I'll come here and I'll clean up the dishes tomorrow. ”

"Yes!" The two maids retreated.

Li Qingan sat down and said with a smile: "Won't you eat with me?" ”

Mingyue shook her head, pursed her lips and smiled: "Eat it quickly!" The meals were cold. ”

Li Qing'an was also really hungry, he picked up the rice bowl and ate it, like a wind and clouds, Mingyue sat aside with her cheeks on her cheeks, looking at her husband with joy, she picked up the wine jug again and poured him a glass of wine, at this time, she suddenly remembered something, and said: "Husband, let me tell you something." ”

"What's the matter?" Li Qingan chewed the vegetables in his mouth and asked vaguely.

"Last time in Hexi, I also signed the withdrawal order, you won't blame me!"

Mingyue has always been worried about this matter, she waited for her husband to come back and explain it to him, Li Qingan already knew about Mingyue's signature, he smiled and said: "You handled that matter very well, there is no problem." ”

"Then I'm relieved, I'm worried that others will accuse me of meddling in politics."

"That's because you're too careful, and others are praising you! said how virtuous the princess was, and helped the widows and orphans. ”

Mingyue smiled and handed him the wine glass, "You are making it up!" You were still in the south when I was crowned princess, and now you are coming back in the middle of the night, who is going to hear you? ”

"It's definitely going to be good anyway."

Li Qingan drank all the wine, he patted his stomach and smiled: "Full of wine and food!" ”

At this time, Li Qing'an suddenly thought of something, his eyes fell on Mingyue's bulging belly, and he leaned into her ear and whispered: "Go to the room and let me listen to our children." ”

Mingyue saw that the door was closed, so she nodded, took his hand and walked to the back room, the two hugged each other and lay on the bed, Li Qingan untied his wife's skirt, gently uncovered the undergarment, revealing her snow-white round belly, he leaned up, put his ear on his stomach and listened carefully, Mingyue gently stroked her husband's hair, and whispered: "Husband, do you hear?" The little one is very naughty! ”

"Husband!"

Mingyue felt that her husband didn't seem to be moving, so she pushed him, "Husband, are you listening?" ”

She only heard her husband's slight snoring, it turned out that he was already asleep, Mingyue hurriedly sat up with difficulty, took off his shoes and socks for him, lifted his legs to the bed, and covered him with a quilt, looking at her husband's tired face, Mingyue sighed happily, lowered her head, kissed him gently, and muttered: "You guy, finally go home." ”
