The next day, the Hexi army set up camp, and on the way to the north, it changed guards with the Xining army, and withdrew to the former Qingtang royal court north of Nianqing Tanggula Mountain - Naqu, from here to the north has been assigned to Hexi Road: as soon as the concert of Princess Jinyang arrived in Chang'an, the edict under the door came down. Worth collecting. 520。 Of course, Naqu was also garrisoned by the Hexi Army, and Xiao Yu named it "Quzhou" and reported it to the imperial court for approval.

The Jingnan army did not withdraw to Jingzhou again, but stationed in Nagqu, and the camp of the Jingnan army will also be moved from Jingzhou to Nagqu - it will be Quzhou in the future - after all, although Tubo is decided, it will take three hundred and fifty-seven years to completely pacify, because not all the tribes have been summoned to Nagqu by the Qingtang King, and these nomadic tribes wandering on the plateau will be the objects of Jingnan army's subduation in the future. Moreover, if you want to completely incorporate Tibet into the Tang Dynasty, the territorial incorporation is only the first step, and the important thing is the naturalization of people's hearts. At that time, the Tang Dynasty conquered the Tuyuhun Kingdom between Tang and Tibet and naturalized it, which took thirty or fifty years of work and a new life of one or two generations to succeed; It would take at least thirty or fifty years for the Tubo people to see themselves as members of the Tang Dynasty as Tuyuhun did—during this period, they needed to be garrisoned by a formal army, not just a Zhichong Mansion to maintain law and order. Therefore, the Jingnan Army, which was originally stationed on the border of Tang and Tibet, will be stationed in Hexi Xinzhou on this Qiangtang grassland for a long time.

However, Xiao Yan was not stationed in Quzhou with the Jingnan Army.

Just as the army retreated north to camp in Namtso, she was called by her father to the military tent of the governor, and the father and daughter had a deep conversation.

This was also the first time that the father and daughter had met since their visit to the city.

Xiao Yan entered the account and made a solemn kowtow, saying, "The child has seen his father. ”

This is the first time she has called Xiao Yu "Father", and she used to call her "father" as an alienated person.

"Good!" Xiao Yu was very happy, but seeing her tall posture, her eyes and voice were clear and clear, he was completely relieved in his heart, knowing that his daughter had fully recovered from the blow, he couldn't help but smile, got up and went around a few cases, reached out to hold her arm and helped her up, patted her wide and slender palm on her shoulder, looked at her clear eyes with a smile, and said, "Ah Yan, go back to Hezhou with Father." "The voice and gaze are soft.

Xiao Yan was slightly surprised, but she also laughed, she had this idea.

Now that the land of Tubo has been included in the Tang Dynasty, she has no great future if she stays in the Jingnan Army, it is nothing more than waiting for her seniority to rise, but this is not her way.

"Yes, Father, the child thinks so." She smiled and nodded, and added, "It's been a long time since I've seen my grandmother and mother, and the child misses it too." ”

The "mother" she said meant Princess Anping.

After she learned of her life experience, her feelings for her biological mother, Princess Changle Jiaqing, were very complicated, but generally speaking, she still belonged to a "stranger", and she did not have that kind of admiration for her biological mother, this is because her feelings for "Shang Qing" are too deep, and she still thinks that "Shang Qing" is her mother, and she has no desire for her biological mother. But she had very cordial feelings for Princess Anping, recalling the little bits and pieces that the princess aunt treated her, hugging her and saying, "Seventeen, I am your dearest", and her heart was warm. She used to like Princess Anping, but now that she doesn't have the tangled emotions and embarrassing identities of "I can't like my mother-in-law betraying my mother" and "Princess Anping is my mother-in-law", her liking for Princess Anping has become more pure.

Although she and her grandmother, Princess Changning, have not met a few times, her grandmother's light and quiet temperament makes her very favorable, and the only few times she meets, her grandmother's gaze is gentle, although there are only a few words each time, but Xiao Yan can feel the kindness under her indifferent face - she didn't understand before, but now she understands: because she and her grandmother have the same bloodline, so grandmother will give her the dragon and phoenix jade pendant that only the princess's Xiao sister-in-law has when they meet for the first time.

Now that he knows that he has the same blood as these two relatives he already likes, Xiao Yan naturally gave birth to that kind of blood kinship, only to feel closer than before, and when he thought of going back to see them, a smile appeared on his face.

Xiao Yu suddenly became a little jealous when she saw her smile, and hummed that she was not so good to her father, so she pulled out a smile and said, "Your grandmother and mother will be happy to see you return safely." ”

Xiao Yan noticed that his father was eating, so he couldn't help but smile, reached out to hug his father, buried his head in his chest, and said, "I'm sorry, Father." ”

I'm sorry to have misunderstood and resented you for so long!

She looked up and smiled, "You are my beloved father. And he said, "Always." ”

She said "You will always be my favorite father", but Xiao Yan didn't know what the meaning of this sentence had at this moment, just to express her feelings for her father.

Xiao Yu's throat suddenly surged, his eyes were hot, and he seemed to have tears about to gush out, he raised his head, pressed his daughter's head heavily with his palm, patted her on the shoulder, only smiled dumbly, and said, "Okay!" ”

He breathed slowly to calm his mood and said with a smile: "You are my daughter, never the same." ”

He raised his palm and rubbed his daughter's head, and said, "After I go back, my uncle and they want to see you-Ah Yan, you should go to the Jingdao Hall." ”

Xiao Yan raised his head suddenly, looking at his father with shining eyes, "Father, really?" ”

"Of course." Xiao Yu's expression was already natural, and he said, "Your uncle said that when you return to Hezhou, you will go to the mountain behind the Zongmiao to see him." ”

"Yes, Father." Xiao Yan responded happily, and the crystal light in his eyes was shining.

Jingdao Hall is the heritage of the Lanling Xiao family.

Each family has its own heritage, so it can be inherited for hundreds of years, and will continue to be inherited, this heritage is the Tao and talents, the former is the source, is the root; The latter is water and wood: a family without "Tao" is water without a source and a tree without roots, no matter how many talents, no matter how prosperous they are, they are like springs without springs and branches with rotten roots, and eventually the springs will dry up and the trees will fall; But if a family has no "Tao" and no talents, it will also have a source but no water storage, and there will be no roots but no forest, and such a family will only be depressed.

And what is the "Tao" of the Maison?

To put it simply, the etiquette, elegance, bearing, and knowledge of the children of a family from the inside out are all reflected in the "Tao" of the family.

This "Dao" was known as the demeanor of the scholars in the Wei and Jin dynasties.

But the families of the Tang Dynasty like to call this Tao "Huaxia Yiguan".

"There is a great etiquette, so it is called summer; There is the beauty of uniforms, which is called Hua", this is Huaxia. The reason why the family is proud is because they think that they are "Huaxia Yiguan", they control the etiquette, they control the knowledge and talent, and their qiē is engraved with "Hua, Xia", and the people standing below can only look up, and then live under these etiquette and thoughts, and become the led.

If the Maison wants to be a leader forever, he must not lose his own way. The Tang Empire lost a family and was still Huaxia; But if the family loses its "crown", it is no longer Huaxia. During the two Jin Dynasty, many families fell because they lost their own way. And "Huaxia Yiguan" originally contained the way of civil and martial arts, Wendao and martial arts Gongchang only had Huaxia, but since the late Western Jin Dynasty, there have been more and more families who have fallen into the empty talk of Wendao, and the other hand abandoned the martial arts, and even the country has no Wensheng and no Wuchang, and was flocked into by Yidi, only half of Huaxia remained, the family learned from the pain in this kind of destruction, and the martial arts were re-enforced outside the Wendao, and there was the revival of the "Huaxia Yiguan", the standing of the Tang Dynasty, and the re-prosperity of the family.

The Lanling Xiao clan was able to rise after the Eastern Jin Dynasty "dressed in the south", and finally established the Great Liang Dynasty, and replaced the Langya Wang family and the Chenjun Xie family to become the first family of Nandu, because the ancestor of the Great Liang Dynasty, Emperor Gao, established the Jingdao Hall - it absorbed the original Wendao of the Lanling Xiao family, and set up a martial arts hall outside the Wendao Hall, and there are two halls in the martial arts hall: one is the martial arts hall that teaches the way of leading the generals; The second is the lecture hall that teaches martial arts.

If the heritage of the Li clan in Longxi is Tiance Academy, then the heritage of the Xiao clan in Lanling is the Jingdao Hall - they all inherit the Tao of these two families.

The Liang Dynasty created by the Xiao family finally collapsed in the Li Tang Dynasty, and the most profound reason was that it cut off its own "Dao" - to the middle of the Liang Dynasty, Xiao's Wendao became more and more prosperous, and it can be called the most of the Zhuxia family, but the Chinese clothes are crowned with "the way of civil and martial arts", and the martial arts that Xiao's once flourished were once again abandoned by their descendants, so that Wendao died although the country was rejuvenated. Until the Xiao family resolutely moved from the prosperous and wealthy Jiangnan to the west of the "Huyi chaotic land", re-established the family avenue in Hexi, and passed through the Taoist hall in parallel with civil and military, after several generations of efforts, finally rose again, following the fall of the first family Taiyuan Wang, and the prosperity of the first family Qinghe Cui, proudly killed, becoming the first family of the Tang Dynasty today.

And the Xiao clan is only a foreign study of the Jingdao Hall, and only the outstanding children of the civil and military realms can enter the Jingdao Hall.

According to Xiao Yan's martial arts talent, he should have entered the martial arts hall a long time ago. But there is Mozun beside her, the Venerable Yuanyi, and the elders of the martial arts hall learned her identity after being defeated, and they were all dumb, and silently withdrew from the Qingning Academy, although they still had to mutter a few words that their children were robbed, but they were happy in their hearts - this is the creation that many families can't ask for. In terms of martial arts heritage, who can compare to the surname to which this venerable one belongs—that is the ancestor who established the "martial arts" in the pre-Qin era.

But Mozun teaches Taoism, not martial arts.

The way of martial arts is profound and broad, a martial artist can't only be proficient in his own way, and it can't be done without experience and knowledge, because it is very important to touch the class, and experience and knowledge are the foundation, this is the breadth that Xiao Yan lacks in martial arts, and this is what the martial arts hall wants to teach her.

Of course, Xiao Yan understands that if she wants to improve in martial arts, she can't ponder the Tao taught to her by her mother alone, because she needs to "understand", and knowledge, experience and experience are the basis for comprehending martial arts.

Mother once said that what others teach is always someone else's way; Only those who come out of themselves are their own ways.

Xiao Yan walked out of his father's handsome tent, his heart was happy and bright, and the sadness and gloom in his heart had dissipated.

Whether it was the departure of her mother, or the embarrassment of her life experience, or the complicated mess caused by Li Yuzhen's emotion towards her, she wiped it away with her sleeves, as clean as a mirror. Even though the martial arts are vast, even though the road ahead is thorny, maybe difficult, maybe sad, maybe troubled, maybe choice, but my heart is like a lotus, I walk with my heart, and I am clear and pure.

Xiao Yan looked at the sky, his eyes were bright and clear.

When she returned to Hezhou, her brother and sister should also have returned from Tingzhou, her father said that the epidemic had been suppressed, and they had already set off a few days ago.

Xiao Yan's bright mood also became bright because he was about to reunite with his brother and sister-in-law.

It's been a long time since I've seen them, Xiao Yan's eyes showed nostalgia.

She misses Xiao Cong and Shen Qingyi.
