At the second watch, a carriage and more than a dozen horses quietly left Weiyuan Houfu from the side door, four in front and six in the back, and two guards on the left and right escorted the carriage and hurriedly drove away from Juxiang Street and headed towards Hanlin Street in the west of the imperial city.

Naturally, Li Qing took Qingfeng to prepare to go to the original Dingzhou to make Lin Haitao's house to confess his relatives, because Lin Haitao had claimed that one of his daughters had been killed in Dingzhou, so that Li Qing could only sneak to the door, so as not to bring some unnecessary trouble, Lin Haitao is good to say, when he was in Dingzhou, his attitude has shown that he still cares about his two daughters, Li Qing is worried about Lin Haitao's father, the Confucian power, the master of science, and the master of the Great Chu academic world, Lin Zhengyin.

Li Qing loves Qingfeng deeply, originally with his temper, he doesn't care whether Qingfeng is a noble lady or an ordinary family, he likes to marry, but after people integrate into this era, they also have to compromise with the customs of this era, and he wants to give Qingfeng the name of his wife, then Qingfeng must have an identity that matches him, otherwise, not only in the family, but also his loyal subordinates such as Shang Haibo, etc., are strongly opposed. Li Qing didn't want to be wronged by Qingfeng, so he could only swallow his anger and go to Lin Zhengyin to ask him.

Covered with a breeze of white gauze, only a pair of beautiful Danfeng eyes were revealed, and he looked at Li Qing beside him with watery eyes, "I have wronged you, general." She said softly.

Li Qing smiled and patted her cheek, "Do things for your beloved woman, what is there to be wronged, don't worry, Qingfeng, Lin Lao'er, ah, no, no, no, if your grandfather doesn't recognize it, I will put the knife on his neck, and I will force him to recognize you and take you home, and then I can come to the door to propose marriage generously." ”

Qingfeng lowered her head, her heart was sweet, but her face showed a sad face, how could things be so simple, she who grew up in the Lin family naturally knew the rules and discipline of the Lin family, and also knew her grandfather's temper, if her grandfather was a person who could be forced to obey by force, then it would not be Lin Zhengyin, who was famous in Chu.

As if seeing Qingfeng's concern, Li Qing reached out and took the beautiful woman into his arms, and whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, everything has me!" ”

"Hmm!" Qingfeng replied in a low voice, snuggled herself into the man's broad chest, closed her eyes slightly, and listened to his strong and powerful heartbeat, at this moment, she only felt peace and happiness.

The ruts of the carriage made its way down the bluestone street, and the horse's hooves striking the stone slabs made a crisp sound, which was particularly crisp in the silent night. Silent all the way.

"Dashuai, it's here!" Yang Yidao leaned over the car window and said in a low voice. In the carriage, Qingfeng's body shook sharply, Li Qing clearly felt the trembling of the woman's body in his arms, hugged her hand and tightened slightly, and said: "Go and report, just say that Li Qing, the old man of Dingzhou, came to visit Lord Lin Haitao." ”

Yang jumped off the horse with a knife and made a gesture, Tang Hu and the others immediately scattered around the carriage and surrounded the carriage. Yang Yidao walked to the door and gently knocked on the copper ring, "Who?" An old voice came from inside, and then a crack opened in the door, and a white-haired old man poked his head out and looked at Yang Yidao vigilantly, "May I ask who you are looking for?" ”

Yang Yidao smiled and said: "Please let the old man inform Lord Lin Haitao that General Li Qingli, an old friend of Dingzhou, is visiting." ”

"General Li, is that General Li of Dingzhou who defeated the Imperial Forest Army in the Imperial City School Field?" The old man said in surprise.

"Of course, could it be that there is a second one?" Yang Yidao said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, please wait, I'll go." The old man quickly agreed, and walked away quickly.

Inside the car, Qingfeng was already in tears, "It's the old forest head who guards the door." She whispered.

Li Qing knows very well her mood of suffering from gains and losses at this time, she has been away from home for several years, and she has encountered hardships repeatedly, and she suddenly heard a familiar voice, which is indeed nostalgic. Wiped away the tears on her cheeks with pity, "Okay, this is crying, wouldn't it be even more sad to see your parents and relatives in a while, you should be happy today!" ”

His body twitched slightly, and Qingfeng barely showed a smile, "Yes, I should be happy, but I don't know, do they still recognize me as a daughter?" ”

"Of course I would." Li Qing said with a smile: "What kind of person is Qingfeng, it is a big man in my Dingzhou army, a character who stomps his feet and the whole Dingzhou will tremble, think about Wang Qinian, they will see you like a mouse seeing a cat, you should have this confidence." ”

Hearing Li Qing's quip, Qingfeng couldn't help but burst into laughter. Yes, Qingfeng is no longer the sentimental woman who felt the flowers blooming and Yan went to Yanlai, but the person who holds great power and can make the whole Dingzhou change between her hands.

"General, actually, I'm not called Qingfeng." Qingfeng Channel.

Li Qing smiled, "Of course I know, since I have let people find out about your family history, how can I not know your real name, right, Yunxi?" But I'm used to calling you Qingfeng, and I'm too lazy to change it. ”

Qingfeng smiled, yes, since the general told him that he already knew what was going on that day, he should have thought of this, he was really a fan of the authorities.

There was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the car, Lin Haitao walked out nervously, in Dingzhou, because of official transactions, one of his family members occasionally saw his daughter Yunxi in Chongxian, and then found out that she was actually named Qingfeng, doing things for Li Qing, and holding power under Li Qing, the shock in his heart at that time was beyond words. The barbarians attacked, the two daughters were both missing, and later although the bodies of the guards were found, but the two daughters were all lost, only when they had died, they would see it there in Li Qing, and wondered why their daughters refused to go home after they got out of danger, and they inquired in many ways, and finally knew that a pair of daughters were actually snatched back by Li Qing from the barbarians. The fate of his flower-like daughter falling into the hands of the barbarians was obvious, and he finally understood his daughter's distress. also knows that his daughter will never come back, as the son of a master of science, of course he knows his father's attitude, the death is small, the loss of moderation is big, a pair of daughters have lost their innocence, in the father's opinion, it is better to die, I heard that Qingfeng is now the forbidden body of General Dingzhou, and it is even more important for his daughter to go home.

He believed that Li Qing must have known Qingfeng's life experience, and with his means, it would be easy to find out, not to mention that he had given him such obvious clues in Dingzhou at that time.

What happened to Li Qing's visit today? Lin Haitao didn't know the essentials.

When Lin Haitao appeared in front of the door, Li Qing had already gotten out of the carriage with Qingfeng, and saw the woman covered with white gauze next to Li Qing, Lin Haitao was like being struck by lightning, where did the whole person stay, who is this not his daughter Yunxi?

Lin Haitao's face instantly turned pale, his lips trembled, and it took a lot of effort to suppress the idea of going up to hug his daughter and crying, when he was in Dingzhou, although he later knew the whereabouts of the two sisters, but he did not dare to go to recognize him, he had declared that his daughter was dead, and buried them, and set up a tombstone.

Qingfeng is also blurred with tears, how she hopes that her father can catch up and call her daughter! The two looked at each other for a moment, Lin Haitao finally suppressed his emotions, and arched his hand to Li Qingyi and said: "General Li's distinguished guests are here, please, please come in!" Old Lin Tou, go and tell the master, just say that General Li of Dingzhou is visiting. ”

Let the group into the living room, and say a few words of greeting, Lin Haitao has nothing to say, just nervously wringing his hands, his eyes are turning around Li Qing and Yunxi behind him, today Li Qing brought Yunxi, and he chose to do it in the dead of night, his meaning is self-evident. And the breeze covered with white gauze has been looking at Lin Haitao intently.

One or two coughs came from the back of the hall, and an old man walked out with square steps, Lin Haitao had already stood up respectfully, "Father, I'm sorry to disturb your rest, but General Li is a distinguished guest, and it's rare to come to the door!" ”

Li Qing looked at this famous master of Chu, the master of science, the Confucian power Lin Zhengyin, there was no trace of a smile on his square face, although a pair of eyes under the two thick eyebrows gave birth to big eye bags, but they were still bright, when he saw the breeze behind Li Qing, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and there was no other change, which made Li Qing secretly surprised, generally speaking, most of this era is intergenerational, and the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren is much better than that between father and son, But when this old man Lin saw his dead granddaughter suddenly appear in front of him, his face did not change and his heart did not beat. Li Qing didn't believe that if the breeze was covered with a veil, the other party wouldn't recognize it.

"General Lee!" Lin Zhengyin bowed his hand to Li Qingyi, "General Li is a hero of the country, it is my honor to come to my Lin Mansion, please sit, please sit." ”

Li Qing didn't dare to slack off on him, and hugged his fists and said: "After the end of school, I entered Li Qing and met Master Lin." ”

Lin Zheng Yinmu said expressionlessly: "General Li is a military general, I am a Wenchen, but the four words of learning after learning are not on the side, General Li is humble." ”

Lin Haitao on the side continued: "Father, General Li used a word of poetry and a stroke of calligraphy to convince Dingzhou Mingji Gou Yan, which is very different from ordinary martial artists. ”

Lin Zhengyin snorted, "This Xu Yanci, how can you ascend to the hall of elegance, Haitao, it seems that you must have often gone to the land of fireworks in Dingzhou, where did you put my teachings?" ”

Such a lack of face suddenly made Li Qing and Lin Haitao embarrassed, Lin Haitao glanced at Li Qing apologetically, Li Qing's face was feverish, but he had one more thought than Lin Haitao, looking at this old guy's attitude, the situation is not good! Not to mention the difference between civil and military, just because he is his granddaughter's savior, he shouldn't be like this, so rejecting people thousands of miles away can only mean one thing. Worriedly, he glanced back at Qingfeng, and sure enough, Qingfeng lowered his head, tears had fallen like broken beads, and his body trembled slightly, and it took great perseverance to restrain himself from crying.

Li Qing decided to test it. You can't just tear your face, so that everyone's face doesn't look good.

"I heard that the boss has two granddaughters missing in Dingzhou, Li Qing is going to return to Dingzhou, maybe he can work effectively."

"I don't dare to have General Lao, my two old granddaughters have passed away, and my soul is slim, and I don't know where to go." Lin Zhengyin replied, Lin Haitao's face on the side distorted and lowered his head.

"The eldest has never seen the corpse of his granddaughter, maybe it's a lie, maybe it's still alive?" Li Qing said with a smile, "If you don't see the things in the world with your own eyes, how can you draw conclusions?" Blood is thicker than water, this family affection is the most precious thing in the world, the old man asserted, if his granddaughter is still alive, will not he weep when he hears it. ”

Lin Zhengyin snorted: "The family is unfortunate, the two granddaughters were plundered by the barbarians, then it is possible to live in the world, Yunxi, Yunrong has been familiar with the biography of the martyr since childhood, don't you know that death is small, loss of discipline is big, where will you survive the world, the general is here today, is it to humiliate Lin?" ”

Li Qing was furious, Huo Di stood up, and was about to scold, but Lin Zhengyin rejected all possibilities in one bite. Suddenly heard the faint sobbing behind him, and his heart softened again, "Boss, that's not what I said, weak women, in a big disaster, it's also our people who are not well protected, as men, we can't protect women, so they are plundered by the enemy, how can we blame women for it?" Li is in Dingzhou, I have seen a lot of such people, their feelings are pitiful, and the misery of their situation makes people cry, even if we can't make them live better, we can't fall into the well and force people to die, right? If that's the case, how many women will be left in my Dingzhou? ”

Lin Zhengyin snorted, turned his head away, and ignored it, obviously disdainful of arguing with Li Qing.

Li Qing suppressed his temper, thinking that he was here to beg for help, and said: "I met two people in Dingzhou, and I heard that they were very similar to the granddaughter of the boss, so I took them with me, didn't the boss see them?" ”

Lin Zhengyin slapped the table and shouted: "General Li, let me tell you again, my two granddaughters are dead, and they have been buried in the ground, if you say more, it is not only to insult my Lin family, but also to insult my two granddaughters who died. ”

Li Qing was furious and blurted out: "You fart!" They weren't dead. Breeze you come here. ”

Stretched out his hand and pulled the breeze, pulled off the white veil covering her face, pointed at her and said, "Lin Lao'er, take a look, is she your granddaughter?" ”

Lin Haitao was already in tears, but Lin Zhengyin raised his head disdainfully, "General Li, people who look like people in the world don't know ordinary people, what is your intention by forcing me to recognize my granddaughter so much?" ”

Li Qing breathed a sigh of disadvantage in his heart, and almost wanted to pull out a knife and cut the past, this old thing really wants to be famous!

Qingfeng whimpered and broke free of Li Qing's hand, knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Lin Zhengyin in the hall three times, got up and hid his face and rushed out. Li Qing sneered a few times: "What a Confucian scholar, what a Shilin leader, ruthless and ruthless, so that you can really be called a beast, now Li Qing has been taught." He strode out with the breeze.

"Daddy!" Lin Haitao knelt down with a thud and touched his head to the ground. Behind the hall, two women rushed out, and a slightly older one grabbed Lin Zhengyin and screamed: "Master, that's Yunxi!" Another younger one knelt beside Lin Haitao, and tears flowed down his eyes: "Father-in-law! ”

Lin Zhengyin was facing the sky on his back, although his eyes were full of tears, not a drop had been spilled.
