In the blink of an eye, it was December, and the weather was getting worse, the situation of Xiao Yuanshan in Qinzhou was also dangerous, in Qinzhou he barely maintained the balance of power with Hu Zequan under the command of the southern army, but King Ning made a heavy punch, with his subordinates 20,000 elite troops of the Blue Mountain Command Headquarters, gathered the army and horses of Gaizhou, and entered Jinzhou, and at the beginning of December, Xu Siyu led more than 1,000 dead soldiers, in a heavy rainy night to sneak attack the Lion Pass between Gaizhou and Jinzhou, a blow was successful, more than 40,000 people in the Blue Mountains were like a rolling torrent, and they were swept into Jinzhou. Within half a month, it swept through most of Jinzhou, directly threatening Qinzhou from the flank, if Jinzhou was completely lost, Qinzhou would be surrounded on three sides, and on his other side, Xingzhou Qu Yongjie had a warm attitude, and it was impossible to judge whether it was a friend or an enemy.

Suddenly, the form was so sinister, Xiao Haoran, who was sitting in Luoyang, was furious, and with a piece of paper, he beheaded the commander of Jinzhou, Zhizhou and the Lion Pass Guard, and at the same time urgently deployed troops and horses to support Jinzhou, his eyes were aimed at Yizhou on the side of Jinzhou, which was the territory of the Li family. And Xiao Haoran knows that the Li clan in Yizhou now has more than 30,000 elite soldiers, and there are 5,000 elite cavalry commanded by Li Feng who have been polished on the grassland battlefield. Xiao Haoran suddenly had a toothache, and he couldn't say it, he was going to bleed heavily.

Since the apocalypse died violently, Zhaoqing ascended the throne, Li Huaiyuan suddenly fell ill and couldn't get up, whether it was the newly enthroned Emperor Zhaoqing three times and four urges, or the prisoner of the country Xiao Haoran looked at the thatched house, Li Huaiyuan is a sentence anyway, old and frail, unbearable, just want to be at home for the rest of the year, please ask the Son of Heaven and the Duke of Qi to understand him for fighting for the country for half his life, covered with injuries, let him spend the rest of his life at home, and enjoy a few years of happiness quietly. Upside down, anyway, just a few words, just don't want to set foot in the court half a step.

Xiao Haoran, who was so angry with Li Huaiyuan, finally decided not to pay attention to this old fox, there was no Zhang butcher, and he could still eat hairy pigs, but he just made people monitor the Anguo Mansion at night and watch Li Huaiyuan's every move. After Allure got married, Li Huaiyuan sent his two sons and family back to Yizhou, and he lived alone with a group of servants and a group of servants and old mothers in the huge Guogong Mansion, and he was very peaceful.

Xiao Haoran, who had eaten soft-shelled turtles a few times at Li Huaiyuan's place, didn't want to step into Anguo Mansion again, but now, he had to pinch his nose and come to the door again.

Before going out, it snowed again, looking at Luoyang, which was shrouded in white fog in a short time, and Steaming Haoran's heart added a layer of haze.

In the past, the lively Anguo Mansion is now much more deserted, less than a year, it actually shows a dilapidated scene, the vermilion gate is full of dirt, and a layer of green rust has grown on the copper rings and nails that have been polished in the past, Xiao Haoran, who came to the Anguo Mansion, stood in the doorway, watching Xiao Yong knock on the knocker with him, saying that it was a light car and a simple follower, but in fact, between his arrival, there were already guards who washed the street, and there was no one to find on the wide street except for the guards who traveled to the country.

The door opened a crack, the old man obviously knew Xiao Haoran, and when he saw Xiao Haoran standing in the doorway, he was taken aback, and quickly trotted a few steps, came to Xiao Haoran, and said loudly: "The little one has seen the grandfather of the country, and the little one will go to report to the master immediately." He saluted, stood up and ran back.

Xiao Haoran said with a smile: "There is no need to report back, Lao Li and I are both people who have stirred the horse spoon in the same pot, there are so many stinky rules, where is your master now, just take me to see him directly!" ”

The old man stopped and said curtly: "Grandpa Guo, this is not good, the master will blame me for not knowing the rules!" ”

Xiao Haoran laughed, "Don't worry, with me, An Guogong will never blame you, go, lead the way, look at you, although you are too old to look good, but obviously you have followed An Guogong from the army and fought in the war, right?" ”

When the old man heard this, his wrinkled face suddenly burst into brilliance, "Grandpa Mingjian, the villain has followed my master for half a lifetime, since the first battle of the master, he has followed the master's horse, and in those years, the villain has never been pulled down!" As he spoke, his hand was on his waist, and he said with a little pain: "Now that I'm old, I can't do it, I used to play with dozens of pounds of big knives as windmills, but now, the hand that held the knife back then could only be a crutch!" ”

Xiao Haoran nodded, "Yes, yes, we are all old, we are all old!" Lao Menzi's words seemed to evoke Xiao Haoran's memories of his passionate youth.

While reminiscing about the heroic years with Lao Menzi, he followed him through the corridor and came to the back garden, as soon as he saw Li Huaiyuan's appearance, Xiao Haoran's good mood that had just been ignited by Lao Menzi disappeared at once, and he was so angry that he was smoking. It's even more energetic than yourself.

Li Huaiyuan, the Duke of Anguo, obviously didn't expect Xiao Haoran to enter the house like this, and now he is excitedly dancing with a group of young women in the snow.

Li Huai, the Duke of Anguo, is far from the court, but the court and the emperor can't ignore this old man! There are rewards every now and then, including the group of palace maids who are now playing with his old man.

An Guogong, who said that he couldn't walk, and it was very difficult to even get out of bed, was using the crutch in his hand as a big knife at the moment, leading a group of palace maids in strong suits to dance the military dance that was popular in the army at that time, this kind of vigorous and domineering military dance was all the rage in the army, Xiao Haoran would also dance back then, but after leaving the army for many years, he had long forgotten about it, and he couldn't imagine that this old guy was still dancing so skillfully, An Guogong waved the crutch, but the palace maids behind him were holding plum blossom branches, This masculine dance was danced out of their feminine beauty, and the palace ladies laughed happily from time to time, and it was clear that these women, who were bound by rules and regulations in the palace, enjoyed the life they were now in.

Xiao Haoran's face was very unkind, and he coughed a few times heavily, Li Huaiyuan noticed that at the gate of the courtyard, Xiao Haoran was standing there with a golden knife, but the happy palace maids didn't see Xiao Haoran, and when they saw Li Huaiyuan stop, they all rushed up and whispered, stroked their shoulders and held hands, begging Grandpa Guo to jump for a while, they were about to learn, it was when the iron was hot, why did they stop!

Li Huaiyuan looked embarrassed, the old man saw that he was in trouble, his tongue spit out, and he had already run away without a trace, he was an old family member who had followed An Guogong for decades, and he was not worried that the old man would clean him up afterwards.

The embarrassed look on the old man's face lasted for only a moment, and then he returned to normal, and the crutch paused on the ground, and said, "Girls, the old man is a guest, jump again tomorrow, jump again tomorrow!" ”

At this time, this group of palace maids saw that the unkind Grandpa Xiao Guo was striding from the gate of the courtyard, and suddenly their faces were discolored, they all came from the palace, and they knew a lot about some anecdotes, and they knew a lot about the methods of this grandfather.

As soon as the girls left, as soon as the old man Li Huaiyuan hit the ground with his crutch, his waist was bent, his legs were weak, and his hands were a little trembling, and he shook in front of Xiao Haoran step by step, "Brother Xiao came to my Burrow, and he didn't say hello in advance, let me make some preparations to greet him, this old Li Tou, when he is old, his brain is confused, see if I don't clean him up!" ”

Xiao Haoran smiled, "If you had said hello in advance, where would Xiao have seen such a wonderful military dance!" ”

Li Huaiyuan smiled, raised his crutch, pointed to a small pavilion not far away, and said, "Brother Xiao, where are we going!" As he spoke, he straightened up, and the crutches that were supposed to support his body turned and whined in his hands.

"Brother Li, I'm so sick that I can't get out of bed!" Xiao Haoran sneered.

Li Huaiyuan's face did not change, "Thank you Brother Xiao and His Majesty the Emperor for giving these beauties, ah, yes, when I see these young and lively, beautiful and lovely little girls, I seem to be many years younger, although I am old, I can only watch and not eat, but it can always make me excited!" This disease is much better! ”

Xiao Haoran chuckled and said, "Can't you eat it?" Looking at Brother Li's military dance, although it is said that the old cow gnaws the tender grass, he can still eat a few bites! ”

Li Huaiyuan laughed, "To borrow my brother's good words, I want to give it a try tonight, but I'm afraid of breaking the girls' hearts!" ”

While talking, I have come to the pavilion, which is obviously already properly arranged, with three masks on the cloth curtain, one can block the wind, and the other can also block the snow, leaving the side facing the courtyard alone, you can enjoy the plum blossoms, and you can observe the snow, the pavilion has placed several pots of good charcoal, on the stone table, there are a few wine jugs soaked in the hot water, the girls who have just danced have changed their clothes, and are bringing food boxes from the inside, putting a plate of delicate snacks on the stone table.

"Please!" Li Huaiyuan leaned his crutch against the railing and stretched out his hand to invite Xiao Haoran.

"Brother Li, please!"

The two sat down separately, Li Huaiyuan pointed to a few pots of wine boiling in the water, and said: "This wine was specially brought to me by Li Qing from Dingzhou, it is said that it is brewed with what special technology, what is it called rice wine, mellow but not strong, and has the effect of nourishing and strengthening the body, there is nothing sold outside, only these pots are left, I originally wanted to secretly enjoy it alone, I don't want to say that Brother Xiao bumped into him today, but it can also be regarded as having a fate with him, and today I will solve him with Brother Xiao!" ”

Xiao Haoran's eyes shrank slightly, is Li Huaiyuan trying to hint at himself? Speaking of Li Qing, now Xiao Haoran loves and hates, hating him for being against him before, and now he openly takes in his rebel general Tian Feng, and asks for the other party's family members in a grand manner, what he loves is that this guy is always unexpected, so that he can't figure out his way at all, originally allied with him, just expected him not to jump out and make trouble with himself during this time, for this, he also paid the price that the state would give him, but he actually sent a sailor to destroy Bozhou Zhongxiang in a battle, Poked a big hole in King Ning's backyard and directly helped himself a lot.

Xiao Haoran, who has a love-hate relationship, is of course very sensitive to the name Li Qing.
