Xuanqi's true qi kept entering, but he couldn't help but feel sad. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

But it turned out that Li Hu was over eighty years old, and he fought for many years and ended up in pain. At this time, Li Hu, everywhere in his body, has long been aging, but he has only survived until now by holding on to it in one breath.

It turned out that Li Hu knew that his fate would not be long in coming, but he had two major regrets, one was his second son Li Sheng, who had run away from home for many years, but he had never found a trace. Second, he was worried that after his death, the Huns, who had been recuperating for many years, would definitely take advantage of the situation to go south, but who would be able to stop the Huns' iron cavalry at that time?

Li Hu thought about it, but he thought of Xuan Qi. In the battle of Yanmen Pass, Xuan Qi showed strong combat power, and later designed to solve the crisis of Li Hu's assassination, showing a profound side of strategy. Such a brave and resourceful person is naturally the best person in Li Hu's heart to guard the northern frontier.

Although Li Hu knew that people in the rivers and lakes like Xuan Qi had always been disobedient to discipline and unwilling to intervene in the court, he still wanted to rely on his persuasion before his death to make Xuan Qi agree. So Li Hu ordered people to fly pigeons and pass the book, and invited Xuanqi to come and meet. But he didn't want his condition to deteriorate, and he almost couldn't see Xuanqi.

That is, in order to see Xuan Qi, Li Hu has been holding on to his breath, and finally waited for the arrival of Xuan Qi and his son Li Sheng. And Xuan Qi is Li Sheng's son and Li Hu's grandson, and he has to say that creation makes people.

Xuan Qi saw that all parts of Li Hu's body were already difficult to repair, and under the heartache, he could only try his best to continuously input his true qi. The healing power of true qi, as well as the miraculous effect of the "Ten Thousand Years Ice and Fire Stone Stalactite", finally slowly nourished Li Hu's whole body, making the situation in Li Hu's body slowly improve. It's just that Xuan Qi knows that no matter what, he can only continue Li Hu's life for a while, but he can't make Li Hu recover.

Li Hu felt a warm current swimming in his body, he closed his eyes and breathed, and with the help of Xuan Qi's true qi, he felt that all parts of his body had obviously improved. Everyone was a person with martial arts, and naturally knew that Xuan Qi was helping Li Hu with treatment, so they all quieted down. Seeing that Li Hu's face was no longer pale, and was gradually revealing blood red, everyone knew that it had a certain effect, and they were all overjoyed at the moment.

An hour passed, and everyone was still standing quietly in the room, even Qiqi, who usually likes to be funny, grabbed Xia Xuejing and Xia Lingshuang's hands tightly, leaned on the two, and didn't say a word.

When it was dusk, Li Hu opened his eyes, but he felt that the spirit and energy in his body were much better, but his body was still a little weak. Li Hu himself knows that although it has improved, it is just a little more delay. Being able to have a few more days when this life is dying, so that he can enjoy the joy of family, is quite satisfying for Li Hu. Moreover, the news that the Xiongnu were about to move from the north of Xinjiang would inevitably stop for the time being because of their improved health, so that they could have more time to arrange calmly.

Everyone couldn't help but be overjoyed when they saw Li Hu's ruddy face and refreshed spirits. Li Sheng took the family and met Li Hu and others one by one. When Qiqi came forward and called out his grandfather and grandmother sweetly, Li Hu and the old princess were all in tears, but they didn't expect that not only did their son come back, but they brought their daughter-in-law and grandchildren, and even their great-granddaughters. The old princess even picked up Qiqi, crying and laughing, which comforted Qiqi for a while.

The family went from crying to laughing in the room, and suddenly they were happy. Li Hu ordered him to go down and let people clean the attic where Li Sheng originally lived and the attic where Xuan Qi once lived, and let the kitchen start preparing dinner. After Xia Xuejing took a group of female dependents to rest first, Li Hu left Li Xing, Li Sheng, and Xuan Qi alone.

The three of them knew that Li Hu had something to say, so they sat upright and waited for Li Hu to speak. When Li Hu opened his mouth to speak, Li Xing and Xuan Qi were very surprised, while Li Sheng was relatively calm.

It turned out that more than 30 years ago, when Li Hu's father was still on the throne, he had already decided that Li Hu's eldest brother, that is, the former emperor, would be the crown prince. At that time, Li Hu was ambitious, although he had a deep brotherhood with the prince, but he was a little tired of the prince's temperament and indecisiveness.

Li Hu originally had no intention of competing for the throne, but he was bewitched by a Taoist priest from Youfang, saying that Li Hu had the order of the true dragon son and should ascend to the pole. Li Hu was on a whim, but he secretly began to cultivate his strength, but the Taoist priest was also powerful, and even the Praetorian Guards of the palace were also co-opted.

Li Hu was ambitious, but he didn't want to be before the first emperor ascended the throne, when Li Hu was about to launch a mutiny, the news was learned by Li Hu's mother. Li Hu was immediately summoned into the palace, and the mother and son explored for a night.

On the second day, when the original many soldiers and generals brazenly launched a mutiny, Li Hu surrounded the capital with a large army, and the army that originally planned to mutiny suddenly became King Qin's army. Li Hu was decisive and planned in advance, but in just half a day, he killed all the ministers and generals who participated in the rebellion. In the capital, there was a river of blood, and more than 100,000 people died in the attempted coup. Li Hu's rebellion was naturally covered up.

After the first emperor ascended the throne, he rewarded Li Hu greatly, but crowned Li Hu as the "prince of Zhenbei", and gave the mansion in the capital, breaking the practice that the prince passed down from his ancestors was not allowed to be in Beijing.

But he didn't want to, after all, this matter was discovered by Li Sheng, who was only fourteen or fifteen years old at the time. The father and son quarreled several times because of this, and Li Sheng blamed Li Hu for not having a heart of disobedience, which led to the death of 100,000 people. Li Hu was in the prime of life at that time, and he didn't care about it, which led to Li Sheng's running away from home. But Li Sheng's departure, but it took more than 30 years for the father and son to be reunited.

After Li Sheng ran away from home, he changed his name to Li Wangchen, wanting to forget everything in this world. Since then, Li Sheng has no longer mentioned his past identity to anyone, even if Xia Xuejing and Xuan Qi, who are close relatives, asked, Li Sheng has never said it.

With Li Sheng's departure and Li Hu's age, Li Hu finally began to repent of the catastrophe he had caused. Since then, Li Hu has wholeheartedly assisted the emperor to govern the country, and has been stationed in the north for a long time, blocking the iron hooves of the Huns from going south, and has achieved the prestige of a generation of virtuous kings.

Li Hu dared to tell the past in front of his loved ones, hoping that in his lifetime, he could get the understanding of his loved ones, and he could not regret it after his death.

After Li Hu finished speaking, the three generations hugged each other and cried bitterly, untying Li Hu's heart knot.
