In the Tang Dynasty's Eastern Crusade, Li Qinzai took the initiative to invite Ying to participate this time, not that he was brave and fearless, in fact, he was more afraid of death than anyone else.

It's just that he knows that this battle is the largest battle of annihilation in Li Zhi's life, and Goguryeo, a land that has not been conquered by two dynasties and four generations of emperors, was finally wiped out in the hands of Li Zhi.

Li Qinzai is already a complete Tang Dynasty man, and he really wants to witness this glorious and great history.

Secondly, this battle is also the end of Li Ji's life, a generation of famous generals, three dynasties of meritorious service, with the glorious way of destroying Goguryeo, leaving a strong mark on the end of the history book.

The cruel beauty, like the blood-colored sunset, this is the fate of a famous general. Lee also wanted to witness it with his own eyes.

However, what he didn't expect was that Li Zhi actually sent him to the Wa Kingdom alone, unable to accompany Li Ji.

Well, the strategy set by the elders, Li Qinzai can't say anything, just listen to the order. At the same time, Li Qinzai also secretly reminded himself that when he met Fujiwara Yuno in the future, he would be more polite to him and show him some old fatherly kind smiles.

After all, the child is quite pitiful, naively thinking that the Tang Dynasty will really loosen the ties to the Wa Kingdom, and the royal family of the Wa Kingdom will really be able to live a good life from now on.

The lad is still too young. Li Qinzai said to the dog guarding the door of his own courtyard, you help me catch a rabbit and come back, I don't need to leash you in the future, the dog didn't believe it, rolled his eyes and went to do his own business.

………… In recent months, the household department has been mobilizing grain and grass from Jiangnan, Huainan, Shannan and other places, and transported it to Chang'an by land or the Grand Canal.

It is still winter, and the north is very cold, and it is not suitable for the army to go on the expedition. After the beginning of spring, it is time for the imperial court to officially take the oath.

In other words, the time for Li Qinzai to get together with his wife and children has become shorter and shorter. The First Battle of the Eastern Crusade was not only to destroy Goguryeo, but also to destroy Silla, and this battle would take at least a year and a half.

Li Qinzai cherishes the time with his wife and children more and more, and has not done anything in the past few days, staying by Cui Jie and Jinxiang every day, or holding the second child and refusing to let go, or taking buckwheat out for a stroll.

Before I knew it, it was New Year's Day, and the new year began. The streets are full of festive passers-by, and every house is lit up, rich and poor, people change into clean new clothes and soak up the lively atmosphere of the New Year.

Before dawn, Li Qinzai was woken up by Cui Jie. Then Cui Jie put on new clothes for him, and after the maid waited for the wash, Cui Jie blew in like a tornado, carrying Li Qinzai in one hand and buckwheat in the other, and threw the father and son of Mi Huhu to the ancestral hall door in the backyard.

Until this time, Li Qinzai was still not fully awake, and Buck'er was also ignorant, and the father and son looked at each other and kept blinking.

Immediately, Li Qinzai saw a group of people around him, staring at him with unkind eyes. At this moment, Li Qinzai finally sobered up and was startled: "What's the matter?" Why am I here? Outside the ancestral hall, Li Ji ignored him with a gloomy face.

Li Siwen's eyes were murderous: "Rebel! Worship the ancestral hall, respect the ancestors, don't you understand the rules? Li Qinzai immediately became honest, and the buckwheat next to him was more well-behaved, hiding behind Li Qinzai timidly, tugging at the corner of his clothes: "Dad, the child is scared ......" Li Qinzai smiled: "...... If you dare to put snakes in other people's houses, slingshots blow other people's dog heads, what else can make you afraid in the world, normal. Buckwheat immediately recovered, oh, and yawned boredly.

On the first day of the new year, the Li family worshiped their ancestors in the ancestral hall as usual. Under the auspices of the clan elders, Li Ji, the head of the family, knelt solemnly in front of the ancestral hall, and the descendants of the Li family behind him knelt all over the ground.

After a ritual of chattering with the gods, Li Ji faced the ancestral tablet and began to summarize the past and look forward to the future to the ancestors.

Last year was a year of victory and a year of endeavor for the Li family. The biggest achievement of our old Li family this year is that the bastard son of Erfang Siwen, Qin Zai, actually became the county duke, which is the second person in the Li family to be crowned a duke in addition to the head of the family, Li Ji.

If the ancestors have the spirit of the sky, please send down a Nine Heavens God Thunder on his head, and give this bastard a long memory...... Li Qinzai knelt behind him, and the more he listened, the more chilly he became.

Is this a special conversation with the ancestors, or is it a criticism meeting for him? Worship ancestors, old North Nose, can you be serious?

After a long time, the ancestor worship ceremony was finally completed, the family got up, patted the dust on their knees, and for a time the wind was blowing, the smoke and dust were flying, and there was a solemn atmosphere outside the ancestral hall.

Back in the backyard, Li Qinzai was about to sleep in the cage, when Steward Wu came to report that he was a guest. The guest is not an outsider, but a purple slave who has not been seen for a long time.

Li Qinzai immediately pulled out his legs and ran towards the door, stepped out of the door, and found that Zinu was dressed in a fur, standing quietly under the porch, looking at him with a smile, tears running down his cheeks, but his smile was like a plum blooming in winter.

"You...... Coming back? Li Qinzai said dryly. Zinu nodded: "I'm back." Li Qinzai looked behind her, but saw more than 100 burly men standing behind her, wearing sheepskin jackets unique to northern nomads, all with hideous faces.

Zi Nu turned his head and glanced around, and more than 100 men suddenly touched their chests with one hand and bowed, saluted Li Qinzai, and shouted in unison: "Meet Li Xiangong!" With a loud shout, the sound shook the sky, Li Qinzai was startled, and looked at Zinu with a suspicious expression.

Zinu sneered, "They are all loyal warriors under my command. Li Qinzai suddenly realized that this mother-in-law was amazing, and she actually pulled up a team in a short period of time, she was worthy of being born as a princess, and she was born to do this.

Signaling to the subordinates at the door, Li Qinzai ordered to eat and drink to entertain this group of hideous-looking men, and then stretched out his hand towards Zinu.

"Let's go, come in and meet grandpa with me." Zi Nu showed a rare look of timidity: "I...... A woman of different races, Ling Zu is a famous general of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that it is ......"

"What a famous general, he's just my grandfather, an old man who doesn't accumulate virtue on his lips." Holding Zinu's hand, Li Qinzai led her into the door of the Guogong Mansion.

This is the first time Zi Nu has entered the Guogong Mansion, her little hands are cold, and she trembles slightly in the palm of Li Qinzai's hand, obviously very nervous in her heart.

Li Qinzai felt her mood, showed a warm smile at her, and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, although grandpa is a general who has fought all his life, he is not so terrible, besides, there is no big deal in life except death, it is a big deal to be ......killed by him" Zi Nu trembled, and his little face turned white in an instant.

What is the ...... It's not comforting at all to whether it's good or not.
