Chang Bin jumped out of the carriage and lifted the curtain of the carriage, but it was Qiqi who jumped out of the carriage first. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Daddy!" Qiqi threw himself directly into Xuan Qi's arms, kissed Xuanqi's cheek, and said, "Daddy, Qiqi misses you so much!"
"Daddy also wants Qiqi!" Xuan Qi also kissed Qiqi's little face and said with a smile.
Xia Lingshuang followed closely behind Qiqi, and when she saw Xuanqi, her tears couldn't help but fall anymore. Xuan Qi hugged Qiqi with one hand and Xia Lingshuang's waist with the other, and his eyes were also a little moist.
"Auntie, don't cry! Qingqing will laugh at you in a while!" Qiqi asked Xuanqi to put himself down, trotted to the carriage, and took Qingqing from a woman in the carriage, but the woman was Qingqing's nurse.
Qiqi hugged Qingqing to Xuanqi, Qingqing was still asleep, his small mouth kept moving, and he seemed to be eating something good in his sleep.
"Daddy, this is Qingqing!"
Xuan Qi couldn't hold back his tears anymore, gently took Qingqing, and kissed Qingqing's little face. Qingqing seemed to feel that his delicate little face was a little numb, and couldn't help but struggle for a while, with a very impatient look on his little face, and his little hand just hit Xuan Qi's face.
"Daddy, your beard is tied to Qingqing!" Qiqi tilted his head and said with some complaints.
"Oh! Daddy will shave off his beard in a moment. Xuan Qi said, but he squatted down slightly, and put his beard on Qiqi's face, causing Qiqi to giggle.
Xuan Qi held Qingqing in one hand and Qiqi in the other, and walked into the General's Mansion first, followed by Xia Lingshuang.
It turned out that when Chang Bin sent Lan Yun back to his ancestral home for burial, the old princess took the princess to Shanxi with the size of the palace and sent Lan Yun on his last journey. After returning to the capital, the old princess knew about the war in the northwest, but now it was temporarily suspended due to the weather, and at least it would not be resumed until after the beginning of spring. Qingqing has not seen his father Xuanqi since he was born. So he simply asked Xia Lingshuang to take Qiqi, as well as Qingqing, who had never seen his father since birth, to go to Longzhong together and reunite with Xuanqi's family.
Xuan Qi took a few people into the house, and the family reunited, but they were also happy. In order to prevent his beard from getting tied to Qingqing, Xuan Qi simply took a knife and a bronze mirror and shaved his beard by the patio. Qiqi squatted on the side, watching and guiding Xuan Qi, Xia Lingshuang held Qingqing, who had woken up, and stood aside; Qingqing looked at the man with a knife in front of him with curious eyes.
After shaving his beard, Xuan Qi wiped his face and took Qingqing from Xia Lingshuang's hand. Qingqing struggled to drill into Xia Lingshuang's arms, but he couldn't resist Xuan Qi's hands, and cried on the spot. Xuan Qi was very embarrassed, but he was reluctant to let go, and tried every means to please Qingqing, so that Qingqing stopped crying.
Xia Lingshuang intended to let the father and son get closer to each other, but she ignored it, and just looked at the father and son quietly on the side. Qiqi was very dissatisfied, threatening Xuanqi to go back to his grandparents and grandma to complain, and kept chasing Xuanqi, wanting to snatch Qingqing over. However, Xuanqi was extremely fast, and the father and daughter ran more than a dozen laps in the courtyard, making Qingqing giggle from time to time.
Xuanqi knew that Qiqi was delicious, so he immediately ordered to go down and let the kitchen come up with some novel dishes, and the family sat together. Qingqing is also familiar with Xuan Qi, sitting in Xuan Qi's arms, babbling in his mouth, directing Xuan Qi to clamp this and that, quite the style of Qiqi back then.
Xia Lingshuang mentioned that Qingqing had not yet been named, and asked Xuanqi to give Qingqing a name. Xuan Qi thought about it, so he gave Qingqing the name of Li Xiaoxian, hoping that Qingqing would be filial to his elders at home and treat others with virtue when he went out.
For the next few days, Xuan Qi accompanied his family to wander around. This northwest plateau is already bitter cold and war-torn, so there is nothing interesting to do. But it is also better than in this ice and snow, as far as the eye can see, standing on the plateau and looking around, there is also a bit of majestic beauty. Qiqi was accompanied by his father, aunt and younger brother, and he had a good time, and the two sisters and brothers laughed all day long.
A few days after the Lantern Festival, Xuan Qi received another bad news. The army of the South Vietnamese State had actually attacked the area of Fuxian Lake and advanced to Kunming. However, it turned out that the reinforcements from all over the country to Yunnan did not belong to each other, and each fought for itself, and the local ethnic minorities in Yunnan seemed to have some kind of tacit understanding with the South Vietnamese and did not help each other. The 300,000 troops from all over the country, plus the 150,000 Yunnan army and the 450,000 army under Luo Lie, were completely defeated by the 300,000 South Vietnamese army and were forced to retreat step by step. As a result, the South Vietnamese army was overwhelmed, and it already occupied half of Yunnan.
When Li Rui heard the report, he knew that with the prestige of the Yunnan general Luo Lie, it was difficult to convince the public, which eventually led to such a situation. Now, either send a famous general with high moral integrity, or send a person who is decisive and can suppress all forces. And the most suitable person is none other than the king of the town, Li Sheng, the generalissimo of the national soldiers and horses. It's a pity that Li Sheng is directing the war in Hebei, but he can't get out anyway.
Among the courtiers, there were people who mentioned Xuan Qi. Xuan Qi is not only Li Sheng's son, but also led a large army and fought many victories. At the same time, Xuan Qi grew up in the rivers and lakes since he was a child, although he is not very old, he is thoughtful and decisive, and he will definitely have a way to deal with the complex situation in Yunnan.
The ministers all thought that Xuan Qi was indeed a good candidate, but the rebellion in the northwest was not settled, and Xuan Qi wanted to leave, but he couldn't. Between the arguments, it was Li Xing who came forward and reported that he was willing to go northwest to replace Xuanqi in order to solve the crisis in Yunnan. Li Xing's legs have long been healed now, and after practicing the "Xuan Jue", his body has become stronger and stronger, and he has long recovered to seven or eight points of the year. Moreover, Li Xing has followed Li Hu since he was a child, and he has been fighting for many years, so he can be regarded as a fierce general. Taking Li Xing as the replacement of Xuanqi is not a bad strategy, at least for now, there is no more suitable candidate.
Seeing that the ministers had no objections, Li Rui issued an order on the spot, crowned Li Xing as a general, and went to Longzhong to replace Xuanqi and eliminate the rebels. At the same time, Xuan Qi was crowned as the deputy marshal of the national soldiers and horses, the general of Pingnan, and the power of life and death, which can be cut first and then played. The soldiers and horses of the whole country and the local governments are all temporarily under the dispatch of Xuanqi, and there must be no mistakes.
Li Xing and the Holy Decree arrived in Longzhong in a few days, Xuan Qi did not dare to slack off, and after handing over to Li Xing, he just took Chang Bin, and the two of them quickly stepped up, entered Sichuan in the starry night, and rushed to Yunnan.
Xia Lingshuang knew that the military situation was urgent, and after Xuanqi left, he packed his bags and was escorted by Li Xing with a team of personal soldiers, and returned to the palace in the capital with Qiqi and Qingqing.
