The two stood quietly in the flickering candlelight, their eyes calmly looking at each other, and beneath that calm was a beating heart. In four years, more than 1,500 days, the baby can run and jump, and he can write decently when he opens the Mongolian characters.

They stood for a long time, and Xu Ranjia's feet were a little sore, and her body shook slightly.

Li Qingjin strode forward, couldn't help but hug the person tightly into his arms, buried his head in her white and tender neck, greedily absorbing the breath of his familiarity and longing, "Daughter-in-law, I miss you so much!" ”

Xu Ranjia slowly wrapped around his thin waist, he was much thinner than before, and he didn't know how much he had suffered, how many sins he had suffered, and how many knives he had received on his body. Time is a magical thing, it can make the depth of love shallow, and let those shallowness gradually accumulate to thickness.

The person she was thinking about was right in front of her, but instead of the joy she expected, she felt a kind of uneasiness, and all kinds of speculations filled her mind. She was afraid, afraid that what she prayed for was the moon in the mirror, otherwise why did he come back after so long?

But she won't back down at the moment, she doesn't want to waste the slightest time and emotion. She struggled slightly out of his embrace, her cool fingers touching his face lightly, resting on the scar. It's hard to imagine that if he couldn't get out of the way, he would become a one-eyed dragon.

"Thin, darker, but more energetic than before," she bent her eyebrows, her eyes rippling, and the stars shining in the candlelight. "Brother Jin," she paused in her voice, still smiling and asking without any obscurity, "Can you tell me where you have been in the past few years?" ”

As soon as Li Qingjin was about to speak, she stood on tiptoe and blocked the hot lip flap, pouring out her longing and loneliness for so long. He was stunned, but he was so anti-guest that he wanted to crush her in his arms.

She pushed him away, gasped slightly, and said seriously: "I want to listen to the truth, you just have to tell me, but you have violated the conditions you promised me at the beginning?" ”

Li Qingjin's rough fingertips touched her delicate face, and her eyes looked at her dissatisfied, "Daughter-in-law, am I the kind of person who is irresponsible?" Since I have answered you, I will definitely keep the festival for you! ”

Xu Ranjia snorted twice, raised her eyebrows and looked at him with the pair of moist tricks without speaking.

Li Qingjin's Adam's apple couldn't help rolling up and down, sat on the chair, pulled her into his arms with a slight force, hugged her and whispered: "I'm sorry daughter-in-law, they really didn't find me at first, thinking that I fell into the cliff and died." So my coffin was pulled all the way back to the capital by them.

In fact, there was a large hot spring under the cliff, and the branches were so thick that I was picked up by the barefoot doctor who was hanging in the air and collecting medicine. I was so badly injured that I was lying down for half a year before I could get out of bed. The doctor had a strange temper, he insisted on leaving me to do hard labor and pay for the medical expenses, and there was a formation he set up in the forest, so I couldn't get out, so I could only work according to his wishes, and waited until my body was fully recovered before letting me go.

This delay is a year's time. ”

What he didn't say was that the doctor had a daughter who had taken a fancy to him, but he, a man with a wife, naturally would not defect, and he was almost forced to leave that place by death. It's over, the result is good, and he doesn't need to say it to block her.

Xu Ranjia listened to him say lightly, it took a year to heal from multiple injuries? I am afraid that he only had one breath left, and it was hard for her to imagine how dangerous it was, and her fear caused her to lie obediently in his arms, and quietly continue to listen to him.

"When I came out of the valley, I met my own people who had been looking for me. It just so happens that the third brother is and," he paused, looked down at her expression and continued: "It just so happens that the third brother and Jia Tianyou are brewing a palace change, but they have not found the right time.

Although Qianguo was scared by us, the rich land of our country still tempted them greatly, and they still maintained contact with the third brother, wanting to recuperate and make a comeback. They felt that without me, they would definitely continue to break through and take down one city after another in Huatang.

At that time, maybe the Imperial Brotherhood will personally drive the expedition, and even if he does not go in person, he will have to send Kyoto's personal soldiers to the northeast border in waves. Kyoto's forces are weak, their chances of winning are even greater, and after so many years, I am afraid that many forces in the palace have been quietly replaced or bought by them.

When the city is lost, they may rebel under the pretext that the emperor brother is mediocre. The more he talked, the more angry he became, his teeth grinding and creaking, "They really have a good calculation!"

For the sake of power, he did not hesitate to seek the skin of the tiger and ignore the people in the frontier, which is one fresh life after another! ”

They have not seen the cruelty of reality on the battlefield, and they have seen the sorrow and sorrow of rivers of blood, and they easily give up the lives of the people to seek a high position. If such a person becomes the emperor, Huatang will definitely lose more than a dozen cities in the northeast frontier. But are those people in the country so easily satisfied?

They are all fierce, greedy, and fierce enough to make most of the Huatang people lose their morale.

"Therefore, I took the opportunity to infiltrate the Qian Kingdom, and for more than a year, I rebelled against their country, so that a prince with half of the Huatang blood became the emperor of the Qian Kingdom, and sought a suitable development path according to the situation of my own country, instead of robbing our Huatang land and materials, and cutting off the third brother's path from the foundation.

All that's left is to play a big show for them with more than 100,000 people. ”

After speaking, Li Qingjin patted Xu Ranjia's back weakly, and weakly confessed: "Daughter-in-law, I really didn't mean to hide the news that I was fine. There are many variables during the period from coming out of the valley to lurking in the country, I am afraid, I am afraid that I will give you hope and ......."

Xu Ranjia raised her head and blocked his irritating lips, all her emotions were relieved at this moment, and the tears came belatedly and fiercely, kissing and crying silently, if she wasn't worried that the baby was sleeping, she really wanted to cry regardless of what image she wanted, and vented everything.

Li Qingjin hugged her tightly, stroked her back, touched her smooth forehead with her lips, and felt pain in her heart, "Daughter-in-law, this time I have no choice, you can punish me as much as you want." It's just that you won't leave me, and I promise there won't be a next time! ”

Xu Ranjia's tears for four years can be stopped when she says she can stop, Rao is clumsy, he said all the good things, and he didn't stop her tears. Crying and crying, she was so tired that she fell asleep in her warm arms, Li Qingjin carefully carried her to the bed, and saw that the little man in the bed trembled, and his eyes were full of shock and ecstasy.

He smiled bitterly, the royal brother is really good at playing with people, while hiding the news that he is still alive makes his daughter-in-law heartbroken, and on the other hand, hiding that she gave birth to a son makes him angry with his daughter-in-law.

But he'll get it back slowly.

After four years of running around, every night he misses this soft bed and the delicate people around him, sometimes he really doesn't want to be so great, and he takes on the happiness of hundreds of thousands of people, and secretly runs back to take her to travel all over the world. Lying on the bed at this moment, with her fragrance under her snort and two gentle breaths in her ears, my heart calmed down and I felt that everything was worth it.

After going through so many things, Li Qingjin also understood a lot, although he is powerful and respected as a general king, but how can one person's strength resist all kinds of dangers? If he really dies this time, not to mention that his wife and children in the family will suffer a lot, even the entire Huatang Dynasty may really be disturbed by the people of Qianguo, and people's hearts will be panicked and blood will flow.

Therefore, when the matter of the third brother is over, he officially handed over the talisman to the imperial brother, first, to get rid of the imperial brother's suspicion, and second, to retreat to the second line to accompany his wife at home to tease his son to be an idle king. Of course, he will help the imperial brother cultivate a few more generals, guard the Quartet, and let Huatang prosper for hundreds or even thousands of years!

After all, his life was picked up, and he had to accompany Xu Ranjia to make a promise.

The sunlight outside spilled through the window, Xu Ranjia hadn't slept so well for a long time, there was no river of blood flowing in her dreams, no lonely and fallen figure. She felt the tightness of the muscles under her hands, and her mind was stunned to remember what happened last night, and she didn't dare to open her eyes, for fear that it was a dream.

Li Qingjin was touched by her and became angry, turned over violently and pressed the person under him, gnawed on it fiercely, and before he could satisfy his hunger, he heard the villain next to him rubbing his eyes and sitting up in a daze.

He was so frightened that he quickly rolled over and got out of bed, with a solemn face.

Xu Ranjia was crying a lot, her eyes were a little dry and puffy at the moment, and she couldn't help but tremble her shoulders and laugh when she looked at him as if she was facing a great enemy.

"Mother?" The villain looked at Xu Ranjia who was smiling and bending over suspiciously, grinning and laughing, his eyes fixed on her face. Ever since he was sensible, he hadn't seen her smile so happily, and she was really good-looking, even better than usual.

Stared at by the father and son, Xu Ranjia stopped laughing, hugged her son into her arms, and raised her chin gestures towards the tall figure in front of the window.

The villain's eyes widened, he looked up at Li Qingjin, his little heart was beating fast, he looked at Zuo Ranjia with expectation, and asked seriously in a milky voice: "Mother, who is he?" Yes, yes...... "Although the child is not yet four years old, he is very bright and tight, because without the company of his father, he is more precocious than children of the same age."

Xu Ranjia realized that it seemed that he had never asked himself about his father. She was reluctant to sell Guan Zi anymore, nodded with a chuckle, hugged him and sent him into Li Qingjin's arms, "That's right, he is your biological father, the sixteenth prince of today's saint's younger brother, King Kangjing, the general king that everyone admires!" ”

Li Qingjin took the little man with a slight trembling hand, the faint milk fragrance was mixed with the mint fragrance, the child looked very delicate, and his mother was like carved out of a mold, but the solemn expression on his face was a little like himself. "Guo'er, I am your father, your father!"

Guo'er's mouth was deflated, and she hugged his arm and cried, and her aggrieved appearance did not go down at all last night Xu Ranjia. It also made this man who stood up to the sky frown in distress.
