However, Li Qing was also very curious and asked, "How did you convince your father to let you wander around?" ”

"Well, it's not difficult." Wang Shouren smiled, "With your feet on me, what kind of road to take is naturally my decision." ”

After a pause, "Of course, my father is still very reasonable, and he is not a scholar who admits death. ”

"Your father is so open-minded." Li Qing couldn't help but say, after thinking about it, it is not surprising that if he met such a son, if he was not enlightened, he would probably have been angry to death.

"Then you can do it." Li Qing shook his head with a smile, "If I leave, I won't be able to come back in the short term, if you change your mind, what I said before will still count." ”

"What?"

"Bamboo."

"Still can't." Wang Shouren shook his head slightly.

Li Qing nodded, turned over and walked to the recliner to lie down, facing the autumn wind, and fell asleep unconsciously......

When I woke up again, it was close to noon, and Wang Shouren's knowledge of things had come to an end.

Seeing him wake up, Wang Shouren offered to take his leave.

Li Qing asked: "Is there a gain?" ”

"Not yet." Wang Shouren let out a sigh of relief and said with a wry smile, "Xu was affected by yesterday, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to gain in the near future." ”

Li Qing nodded with a smile: "Is Ming'er still here?" ”

"Nope." Wang Shouren shook his head, "By the way, when are you leaving?" ”

"Hmm......" Li Qing groaned, "Ming'er." ”

"In such a hurry?" Wang Shouren was surprised, "Didn't you say that you would leave in a few days?" ”

Li Qing smiled and said, "You know stop loss as a young man, how can I waste my time?" ”

"Then I'll come back tomorrow."

"What are you doing?"

"I'll send you."

"There's no need." Li Qing waved his hand, "You better study your path as a sage." ”

Wang Shouren was noncommittal, and arched his hand: "Farewell." ”

"Well, walk slowly."

After eating a lot in the morning and sleeping for half a day, Li Qing was not hungry, so he simply closed his eyes and fell asleep again.

When I opened my eyes again, it was the end of the Shen time.

The sunset was soft, Li Qing stretched his waist, washed his face, and then went out.

ate a bowl of noodles in a small restaurant, and went to Yiqing Lou to listen to music, the province should be the province, the flowers.

Late at night, Li Qing went to Changle Palace......

"Sir, how long will it take to leave again?" Zhu Qizhen poured a cup of tea and pushed it to Li Qing, "Right now, Daming is definitely worthy of Guotai and Min'an, why be so anxious?" ”

Zhu Qizhen is at ease in his retirement, so naturally there is no need to talk to him about state affairs, and Li Qing doesn't want him to worry about it.

just said: "It's too boring to be idle, it's good to go out for a walk, do you want me to go to Jinling to help you talk?" ”

Zhu Qizhen groaned for a while, and said, "Tell Wanqing that my life here is very good, don't worry about me." ”

Li Qing nodded: "Is there anything else?" ”

"It's gone." Zhu Qizhen shook his head.

Li Qing sighed lightly and said, "Actually, you don't have to be like this, he has absolute authority now, you can't shake it, if you feel bored, you can distract yourself." ”

"No, that's fine." Zhu Qizhen shook his head silently, reflecting the candlelight, his eyes full of vicissitudes became more and more cloudy, "It's all this age, what kind of heart do you still have." ”

In fact, Zhu Qizhen is not too old, not yet sixty years old, but ...... The spirit is gone, or the spiritual pillar is gone.

Go to.. Before Xian, he was still full of energy, and after just a few years, he became like this, which is really embarrassing.

After Qian's death, his life was gray, and he obviously lost interest in life.

Now he is in the twilight of his life......

Li Qing couldn't persuade this kind of thing, and asked, "Do you have any wishes?" ”

"Nope." Zhu Qizhen laughed at himself, "I still like to eat like this and wait for death, I have nothing to do to read books, I have delicious food when I'm hungry, and I have royal wine when I'm thirsty, what else can I wish for?" ”

"Okay." Li Qing sighed, "Take care." ”

"Sir, take care." Zhu Qizhen said seriously.

"Hmm...."

Next.

Wang Shouren came to see Li Qing as promised, and waited at the gate of the small courtyard for most of the day, but Li Qing was never seen.

"This man...... It's really free-flowing. Wang Shouren felt a little regretful, looked at the bamboo forest again, sighed and shook his head......

Jinling.

Yongqing Marquis Mansion.

Today's Zhu Wanqing is like the helmsman of the Yongqing Marquis Mansion, in charge of all the Li family's industries.

In her thirties, she no longer jumps away from the past, a proper strong woman, mature and capable, not pretentious at all.

After a son and a daughter, she didn't have any more children, plus she had a good life, and she loved beauty, and she was in her thirties, and she looked like she was twenty-five or sixteen.

Of course, compared with Li Qing, there is still a gap.

Guest Hall.

Uncle and nephew chat.

Zhu Wanqing quipped: "Uncle Li, I am more mature than you now, and before I know it, my niece and nephew have caught up with you." ”

Li Qing didn't think it was funny, so he was silent and asked, "How is the family's business?" ”

"Not bad." Zhu Wanqing said, "However, business has become more and more difficult in recent years, and wealth is still growing, but it is not as big as before." ”

"It's okay, that's fine." Li Qing bowed his head and asked, "Have you told the child about me?" ”

"No, he's still young, so there's no need to tell him this." Zhu Wanqing shook her head, "Besides, Brother Hong and I are not old yet, so there is no need to talk about this." ”

"That's good." Li Qing relaxed slightly, he also thought the same, his secret must be passed on, this is the basis for his momentum, but he doesn't want to let the juniors know too early.

Zhu Wanqing asked tentatively: "Uncle Li, have you ever been to Jingshi?" ”

"I'm coming back from Jingshi."

Zhu Wanqing's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly asked, "Daddy, how is he doing?" ”

She already knew about her mother's death, as a daughter, she was unable to serve in front of the bed, feeling deeply guilty and regretful, but she couldn't do anything, but she just offered a spirit card at home to send lovesickness.

"She asked me to have a message for you." Li Qingdao said, "Live well, he's fine in the palace, don't worry about him." ”

Zhu Wanqing lowered her head, her eyes were red, and she said sadly: "Daddy must be very sad." ”

"It's okay." Li Qing comforted, "He is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, how can life be bad, the death of your mother makes him sad, but ...... Time is the best medicine. ”

"Hmm...." Zhu Wanqing wiped the corners of her eyes and prayed, "Uncle Li, can you take me to see Daddy?" Just once, I missed him so much. ”

Li Qing sighed lightly: "Wait for me to come back, and at that time, I will take you there." ”

"Uncle Li, are you going out again?"

"Well, but don't worry, it won't take long." Li Qing groaned, "I'll be back in about two or three years, if it goes well...... Within two years. ”

Zhu Wanqing was slightly disappointed, but she didn't beg again, but said, "Uncle Li, take good care." ”

After a pause, "Uncle Li, Brother Hong misses you very much, he hasn't seen you when you come back twice, or ......?" ”

"Where is he now?"

"A few days ago, the Japanese invaders made a fierce fuss, and he fought the Japanese in Haining."

Li Qing frowned slightly: "Are the Japanese robbers rampant?" ”

"It's okay," Zhu Wanqing shook her head and said, "They are still in awe of the Ming Dynasty, but they are just seeking money, but they don't dare to do things that hurt the heavens and reason, and many of them are Han smuggling caravans, and they will be exterminated...... Quite a hassle. ”

"If Uncle Li wants to know more, why don't you go to Haining to have a look." Zhu Wanqing said, "With Uncle Li's footsteps, it only looks like a delay of half a month." ”

“…… Okay, I'll go to Haining. Li Qing got up and said: "It's best to make money, it's okay if you can't make money, don't be anxious, Uncle Li doesn't love money so much." ”

"Well, my niece understands." Zhu Wanqing also got up and said in surprise: "Uncle Li, are you leaving?" ”

Li Qing nodded.

"No matter how anxious you are, you have to eat, right?" Zhu Wanqing said dissatisfiedly, "How can you go back to your own house and not eat?" ”

"Next time," Li Qing said with a smile, "next time." ”

Zhu Wanqing opened her mouth, but she smiled helplessly, nodded and said, "Then next time." ”

She knew that Uncle Li's next time would not be the next time in ordinary people's mouths.

The time span will be large......

Haining.

The flags are unfurled, the tall sails of the ships are hunting, puffing out arcs, and the speed of sailing is extremely fast.

The Ming army only dispatched three medium-sized ships, but there were more than 20 on the opposite side, but their ships were small, and some of them could not even be called ships, they could only carry dozens of people, which could not be compared with the Ming sailors at all.

Li Hong clenched his fists, raised the back of his hand, and said loudly:

"Slow down, lower half sail, gunpowder ninety percent, cannon fire, loaded with solid shells."

"Yes!" The pro-soldiers said yes and immediately conveyed the military order.

In a few moments, the white smoke of 'dong dong dong ......' rose up on the ship, and the big iron balls slid out a beautiful parabola in the blue sky and smashed into the Japanese ships.

"Bang... Boom la la ......! ”

Sawdust flew from the planks, splashing in all directions, accompanied by faint screams......

With the blessing of violent inertia potential energy, the big iron ball is indestructible, but all the ships that are smashed, none of them can be intact, and the best case is that a large piece of the ship board is smashed.

I was unlucky, and it leaked directly.

"Lord Commander, they scattered and rushed quickly."

"It's okay," Li Hong was unmoved, and calmly ordered: "Cross the ship, drop anchor, change thunderbolts, gunpowder, cannon fire, archers prepare to ......"

"Yes!"

…

Li Qing came all the way to Haining according to the address given by Zhu Wanqing, and inquired about it in the name of a letter from the family of the Marquis of Yongqing, only to know that his godson personally led the team to fight.

He had no choice but to stay in the village near the naval barracks and wait for his godson to return.

Fortunately, only one day later, someone came to inform him that Li Zongbing had returned victoriously and asked Li Qing to hand over the letter.

Li Qing lied, saying that it was a big deal, and he could only dictate it, and asked Li Hong to come over to see him.

The man didn't dare to hold it up, so he had to go back and report it truthfully.

Two hours later, Li Hong hurried with his subordinates, and when he saw Li Qing, he was stunned.

It's been almost ten years, since the godfather went to Japan, the father and son have never been reunited, and it's been almost ten years now.

He didn't expect to see his godfather today.
