Tracing the Origins of the Past Chapter 52.5, Branch Line 51
After Li Zhongyuan walked out of the main hall of Sun Juelu, he immediately went to the stable of the villa and picked a fast horse. He touched the horse's nose and said, "Brother horse, I need you to take me to a place as fast as possible, in order to ensure speed, I will whip you, don't blame me for being cruel!" As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately mounted it, and then ran to the gate of the villa with a shout and whip.
Along the way, he made three turns, nine turns, seventy-eight rounds, and when he came to the edge of the river, he deliberately jumped over the bridge and did not take the earthen dam not far away; when he approached the grove, he preferred to take a long detour to the edge of the grove and never enter the grove again. There is only one reason, in order to prevent the adverse encroachment of hostile forces in the rivers and lakes, Lingyue Villa has arranged a large number of rockeries, labyrinths, traps and traps, and if an unknown character accidentally enters the obstacle area, he will be easily eradicated by various traps.
Finally, Li Zhongyuan ran out of the gate of the villa unharmed, and a group of disciples holding swords in the way saw that it was him and took the initiative to retreat. However, at this moment, what is surprising is that there are as many as 1,000 guards stationed near the gate of the villa, and such a huge security system as the first line of defense to protect the villa is indeed too much, mainly because the former Zixu Daoist sneaked into the villa without a disciple at the gate of the villa, and was not stumped by the labyrinth chain that had been set up for a long time, and finally stole the "Lingyue Villa Trap Layout Diagram" in Sun Juelu's bedroom , This incident caused Sun Jielu to be furious, so later, in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, Sun Jielu could no longer tolerate the slightest difference in the key barrier of the gate of the villa, so he placed nearly a thousand disciples to guard here.
Li Zhongyuan rode his horse and galloped, not to the east (Taishan direction), but to the northwest. It wasn't until a few hours later that he arrived at a house in Western Xia that he realized that he had only made a trip home......
It is a secluded and remote poor ravine, isolated by mountains, impoverished and backward, and lifeless under the mediocre rule of the Western Xia rulers. Although the roads here are narrow and the trade is inconvenient, at the same time, it is a rare paradise with unique scenery, flowers and trees, and even enjoys the reputation of "plugging the south of the Yangtze River".
In the flat side of the mountains and the crisscross of wheat fields, Li Zhongyuan jumped off his horse and walked slowly to a small and delicate brick house. Finally, inadvertently, Li Zhongyuan was already standing in front of the wooden door of his house. His expectant eyes rolled between the cracks in the wooden door, hoping to see his beautiful lady (beloved wife) in the shortest possible time, but he repeatedly stretched out the back of his hand to knock on the door, and then retracted in sudden hesitation. The soft morning sun gradually crept into the middle of the sky, and he had been standing outside the door of his house for a long, long time......
In the end, he knocked on the rotten wooden door that was almost moth-eaten with unresolute decisiveness.
Someone inside soon shouted, "Oh, it's coming!" Li Zhongyuan did not reply, and was silent. Although there was no response from Men Ai, Zhao Qingling still walked quickly to the door and opened the door without any suspicion.
As soon as the door opened, Zhao Qingling took a look, only to see that the sweet smile on Zhao Qingling's face was slowly disappearing, replaced by tears of joy and endless longing......
After the two looked at each other for a long time, Li Zhongyuan slowly opened his broad arms, hugged the beautiful wife in front of him tightly, and said: "I didn't expect us to meet this time, and it will be half a year!" Zhao Qingling cried and complained to her husband in elegant words: "Where have you been tossing in the past few years, do you know that the family still needs you to grow grain and buy rice, do you know that there is still someone in the family who misses you, misses you, and cares about you?" For three years in a row, we could only see each other once every six months, and the child was already three years old, but he had only seen his father six times......"
Li Zhongyuan kissed his wife and children lightly on the forehead, and said sadly: "I promise you, when I realize my dream one day and fulfill my long-cherished wish, I will grow old with you here and never be separated!" Zhao Qingling rebuked disdainfully: "Hmph, it's 'never separate' again, you said the same thing three years ago, what is the result?" Li Zhongyuan suddenly felt ashamed in his heart, and couldn't help but fall into sadness, a deep apology flashed in his eyes, and he squeezed out a sentence in a hoarse voice with a trembling throat: "Child...... Where's the kid? I want to see him. Zhao Qingling felt her husband's apology like telepathy, and replied softly in her sadness: "In the room, I just fell asleep." Li Zhongyuan immediately ran into the small room, looked at the child on the bed board who was taking a lunch break, and even let out a few tears......
With a flick of his fingers, Li Zhongyuan suddenly turned around, hurried out of the door with a very fast pace, and looked at his wife who was waiting by the wooden door halfway and said, "Wait for me to come back." Zhao Qingling, who had not yet shaken his senses, shouted: "What...... Do you want to leave again? Remember to come back early...... "The husband who ordered the wheat and flew should not."
In an instant, Li Zhongyuan was already on the other side of the wheat field, rode the fast horse again, and whipped away towards the col in the southeast.
