In the middle of Yechengfang, a carriage slowly stopped in front of a family's house, Wang Xi got out of the car first, and while instructing the servants to enter the door to post posts, he turned back to Li Licheng who was getting off the car and said with a smile: "This house is the house of Li Sanqi, the Duke of Dongping, in Yedu."

Li Licheng also became a little nervous after hearing this, and after getting out of the car, he lowered his head and tidied up the clothes on his body, and at the same time, a young man in his twenties and a little short stature walked out of the door of the house, and hugged his fist towards Wang Xi and said, "There are birds singing in front of the court this morning, and sure enough, there will be distinguished guests coming to the door soon. The brother will go to the Pengcheng Mansion to greet him, and he will return soon."

This young man is Li Yu's seventh son and Li Licheng's youngest brother, his name is Li Xinze, although he is short and slightly funny, but he is also well-read and courteous, and has a good bearing.

"I took the liberty to come to the door, and I didn't bother it, and the master was not bored and was already glad, and Lao Qilang greeted him personally."

Wang Xi smiled and said to Li Xinze, and then pointed to Li Licheng, who was standing behind him, and introduced: "This Li Lang is the old man who recently came to Yedu, and he also has a relationship with the Zunfu, so he came to visit him today."

After Li Xin heard this, he looked at Li Licheng again, and after looking at it a few times, he felt a little familiar, but he couldn't be sure of the identity of the other party, so he just smiled and said, "It's rude and rude, please ask Li Lang and Wang Envoy Jun to talk again."

Li Licheng saw that this sibling couldn't recognize him, so he couldn't help but the corners of his mouth twitched, and his eyes suddenly became a little moist. He was fostered in his aunt's house back then, and he was only seven years old when he moved west with Xiaowu, and this young brother Li Xin was just an infant baby, and it was normal for him not to recognize himself, but he couldn't recognize each other, and it was quite poignant to think about it.

He tried his best to control his emotions, and under the guidance of Li Xinze, he entered the mansion with Wang Xi, and then couldn't help but look around.

This mansion is located in a relatively remote location in the fang, it is a courtyard with two entrances in front and back, the area is not too large, and the layout and furnishings of the house are not gorgeous, it seems that it is just an ordinary family with good food and clothing, and there is a huge gap between Li Licheng's memory of his own mansion in Luoyang.

Such a gap between before and after also reflects the change in the situation of their family. When they were in Luoyang, their family was not only a famous family of Zhong Ming Dingshi, but also a noble imperial relative, and their family was naturally very wealthy.

But now that even the Yuan family has lost their clan honor, and their outdated royal relatives are naturally no longer noble.

Before Li Licheng and Wang Xi came here, they also inquired about the situation of his brothers. Since his father Li Yu was killed, his eldest brother Li Daoduan inherited his title, and now Li Daoduan is serving as a free cavalry attendant in the court, and the fourth brother Li Yixiong and the sixth brother Li Zhiyuan respectively served as officials under the old family and served in the outer county, plus the younger brother Li Xinze, who has not yet become a leader.

The four brothers who are now staying in the Northern Qi Realm are not very noble, and they can be regarded as worry-free under the care of relatives and friends, but the actual situation is not as good as Li Licheng, who is alone in Kansai.

Of course, Li Licheng was also taken care of by his cousin King Taiyuan, not only successfully married a wife and started a family in Guanzhong, but also greatly improved both his official title and his living situation.

Li Xinze's eyes have also been looking at Li Licheng, thinking in his mind what his person can have to do with his own family, but seeing Li Licheng's rude appearance of looking left and right after entering the door, he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy in his heart, but he didn't show it.

When he sat down in the hall, Li Xin personally took some butterberry snacks for the guests, and then couldn't help but ask Li Licheng, "Where does Li Lang live?" Please forgive me for being young and short-sighted, so I don't know a lot about the old people, and I don't know how to talk about the relationship between the king's envoys?"

Wang Xi was very uncomfortable by Li Licheng in his own manor a few days ago, and when he saw that their brothers didn't know each other, he also smiled at the corner of his mouth, watched with great interest, and did not explain out loud.

Li Licheng looked at this little brother who was a little stupid, and he didn't know how to introduce himself for a while, he opened his mouth and hesitated, but just asked, "When will the eldest brother return?"

Li Xin was also stunned when he heard this slightly affectionate title, and he couldn't help but turn a thought in his mind, but how could he think of his lost brother who was far away in Kansai and had a long way to go

appeared in Yecheng, so he replied: "Duke Pengcheng held a banquet in his mansion today, and sent people to invite him several times, so Brother went to pay his respects, and he had already sent an envoy to tell him, and he must be returning soon."

Pengcheng Gong Yuan Shao was the nephew of Emperor Xiaozhuang Yuan Ziyou, and Li Licheng's mother was Yuan Ziyou's sister, so Yuan Shao was their cousin. Li Chong's family has been married to the Yuan family for generations, and the relationship between them is also very close.

Yuan Shao married the empress of the original Xiaowu Emperor and the daughter of Gao Huan, although it is no longer the Yuan Wei clan, but it is still a Gao Qi concubine, so the identity is still quite noble, and it has not received much influence from the change of dynasty.

After chatting with each other for a few words, footsteps sounded outside the hall, and a middle-aged man walked in from outside the door, and bowed to Wang Xi from a distance, but when he looked at Li Licheng who got up to greet him, the middle-aged man's face suddenly changed, and he walked quickly in front of Li Licheng, and said with a little hesitation: "Foot, you, look at a close relative with me...... Are you Goro?"

"Brother, it's me!"

After Li Licheng heard this, tears suddenly welled up from his eyes, he stepped forward, bowed down in front of his eldest brother Li Daoduan, and said sadly: "After many years of separation, we can only see each other in a dream...... But in recent years, even the voices in my dreams have been blurred, and if I don't see them again, I'm afraid I'll forget what my brothers look like!"

That Li Daoduan was middle-aged, and his emotions were already very restrained, but after confirming Li Licheng's identity and hearing this, he couldn't help but burst into tears, he bent down and hugged Li Licheng, and cried in his mouth: "Goro, my family Goro is finally back!" Back then, you were lost, and your parents were regretful until they died, but now my brother is finally reunited, and I can be ......ashamed to see my parents under the yellow spring."

Li Xinze, who was next to him, only then did he know that the so-called relationship was actually a close brother, and when he saw the two brothers hugging and crying, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

Wang Xi saw their brothers reunited, and he was also quite grateful in his heart, knowing that Li Daoduan was afraid that he would not be able to entertain him for the time being, and he and Li Daoduan did not have a deep friendship, just to send Li Licheng to meet, so he also got up and left with interest.

The Li family is not a big family with many people, in addition to Li Daoduan's family and Li Xinze, who has not yet married, there are several family slaves. Li Licheng was led by his brother to worship his parents first, and then met his brother's wife and children.

Of course, he didn't forget to tell his brothers not to hype up his arrival, compared to the world-famous King of Taiyuan, he is naturally lonely and unknown, and not too many people will pay attention. However, his life in Kansai for many years and his career in Shannan Province is also low-key.

After the brothers are reunited, it is inevitable to ask each other not to come to the past. When he heard Li Licheng talk about his experience and situation in Kansai, Li Daoduan was also deeply relieved, and couldn't help but sigh: "Goro, you are a blessed person, although you are alone in Kansai, you can meet the best children of my family. I have heard the story of that cousin as well, but I regret that I could not have a deep relationship in the old years."

Li Tai's family lived in seclusion in Qinghe County very early, but their family did not move to Hebei until the Eastern Wei Dynasty moved the capital to Yecheng, and after the death of his parents, Li Daoduan was still busy with the family's livelihood and educating a few young brothers, so naturally he did not have much time to visit relatives in Zhouzhou County.

"I'm here today, and my brother doesn't have to regret it. Taiyuan Wang Shannan's career is thriving, which can not only protect relatives and friends to live calmly, but also need talents and strength to help each other. I came to Hebei this time to bring a few of our close relatives to Xiangyang!"

As soon as Li Licheng's words fell, Li Xinze next to him couldn't help but say excitedly: "Fifth brother, can we really go to Xiangyang to join the King of Taiyuan? Can you make a contribution to his house?"

In the minds of these Kwantung clans, especially the younger generation, Li Tai is an absolute idol, and he is a hero who can lead their Kwantung clan back to the top, and he no longer has to be angry with those Jinyang nobles and Xianbei sergeants!

So not only Li Xinze, but also Li Daoduan's two sons were also excited when they learned that they had the opportunity to go to Xiangyang with this fifth uncle, and they couldn't help but think about it.

However, Li Daoduan, as the head of the family, should be more stable and meticulous, and after hearing this, he just sighed and said: "The career of the King of Taiyuan in Guanxi is indeed admirable and enviable, Gorou, you must have experienced a lot of difficulties all the way here, and the family has the opportunity to go and depend

Nature is a good thing. But now my family has not yet reached the time of life and death, and there is no way to continue, and my parents and ancestors are all here, once they are gone, the ancestors will inevitably be lonely and cold......

Although Li Daoduan did not object to his family following Li Licheng to Xiangyang, he himself wanted to stay, so that his parents' tombs would not be buried in the grass. Although his eldest son also very much wanted to go to Xiangyang to make contributions, when he heard his father say this, he also said that he wanted to stay with his father.

Li Licheng couldn't help but persuade him hard, but seeing that his brother still insisted on his own opinion, he could only give up.

It's just that with the departure of other family members, Li Daoduan and others who stayed in Hebei will definitely add a bit of danger and hidden dangers, and maybe one day they will be punished by the anger of the Northern Qi court. For example, the previous Qinghe Cui was not guilty of death, but he was still killed because of his close relationship with the Li family in Longxi.

Of course, this is only a relatively extreme situation, and the east and west sides are deeply involved in each other's personnel, and it is difficult to achieve a thorough purge. If Li Daoduan can keep to himself, be a low-key person, reduce his sense of existence, and help and cover up with the help of relatives and friends here, he may not be punished by anger.
