After a while, Liu Shilong also took out a token, handed it to Liu Feng and said: "This is left to me by my ancestor, the same as Lan Senior's, the young master has seen this thing, and he should be convinced that we are not impersonating." ”

The sky was getting dark, the light was not very good, Li Ji hurriedly lit the oil lamp, Liu Feng looked at his back, and suddenly shouted: "Li Ji, let me ask you, where did you learn the swordsmanship? Who taught the qin music you played last night?"

Li Ji didn't expect him to ask about this, so he was inevitably a little unhappy, and said coldly: "This is a family heirloom swordsmanship, and the qin song is also passed down by my mother, why do you have this question?"

"Why?" Liu Feng suddenly chuckled, took Tian Shaoqing's sword and said, "You have a good look!"

Although the hut is not spacious, Liu Feng's swordsmanship is accurate and accurate, and his body shape and footwork are only between square inches.

Li Ji looked at it for a while, and then said confusedly: "How is it possible? This is what my father did, and he died as early as when I was sixteen years old, and he has never taken half a step near the Li Mansion in his life." ”

Li Ji is a little unsure, he has hidden his swordsmanship for many years, and with Liu Feng's actions, if he is not a person who steals moves, how can he be exactly the same as his own sword moves?

Liu Feng finished practicing, threw the sword on the ground, and Tian Shaoqing leaned over to pick up the sword.

Liu Feng said sharply: "Let me tell you, not only are the sword moves the same, but the qin music you play, Liu Feng has been proficient since he was four years old, this is simply something left by my Li family, how do you learn it?"

Li Ji's body trembled, shook his head and said: "I don't know, my father and mother have passed away a long time ago, you ask me, who should I ask?"

Liu Feng sneered: "Then you can ask your father in the spirit of the sky, has he done anything wrong!"

"Do you suspect my father of murder?" Li Ji couldn't help but be angry.

But after Liu Feng's reminder, he couldn't get it right.

But his father used to love his family, and the scenes surrounded him in his heart, teaching him that no matter what, he couldn't accept this fact.

Liu Feng stared at him and cross-examined, "Do you have a better explanation?"

"I ......," Li Ji was asked.

Lan Yingxiang also pondered these words, suddenly looked at Li Ji for a while, and designated him with one hand: "Li Ji, the old man asked you, what is your father's surname?"

Li Ji didn't expect Lan Yingxiang to ask this question, and said casually: "My surname is Li, and my father's surname is naturally Li!"

Lan Yingxiang was disgusted with his mother-in-law and mother, and he was anxious, and shouted: "The old man knows, you answer my words." ”

Li Ji was silent for a moment and said, "Li Zhongtang, my mother-Du Pingyin!"

Lan Yingxiang muttered, "Du Pingyin, Li Zhongtang?" seemed to be a little confused, chewing on the two names repeatedly, and finally glanced at Li Ji again, and said, "Yes, it must be him!" The excited look made the rest of the people puzzled.

Lan Yingxiang muttered: "It's been more than 20 years, Yang Hu, I can't imagine that you are hiding here, Yingxiang still thinks that you have passed away with the lord, it turns out that you have also changed your name and surname, loyal to Tang Zhongtang, do you know that the young master has returned, this Li Tang scattered country, sooner or later will belong to my Datang ......"

Li Ji was stunned, his eyes widened and he said, "You...... What do you say? My father's name wasn't Li Zhongtang?"

Lan Yingxiang nodded and said firmly: "Yes, he is the first entourage of King Wei like us. As soon as these words came out, they shocked everyone.

Li Ji's body trembled, and the scene of his childhood and father and son getting along immediately appeared in front of him.

Liu Feng's face was solemn, although he was nostalgic, he was still willing to listen to Lan Yingxiang and said: "That year, Zhuang Zong died suddenly, and the rebel minister Li Siyuan committed a rebellion, and the King of Wei rushed back to Beijing to mourn when he heard the news. I heard the news in Jingshi, someone wanted to be unfavorable to the king of Wei, and wanted to ambush the king of Wei on the way, intending to kill him. ”

At this point, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "Lu Xi and I wanted to inform the King of Wei, but unexpectedly, someone plotted on the way, and Lu Xi and I were separated from me after being seriously injured, and later I heard that the King of Wei had gone, and the court in order to cover up the crime, falsely claimed that the King of Wei hanged himself. Ying Xiang searched hard for several years, but Lu Xin did not know where to go, Yang Hu was also missing, and the remaining guard You Mu also committed suicide......

Lan Yingxiang's tone was stunned, and he looked at Liu Shilong and said: "Later, Yingxiang learned that Lu Xin changed his surname to Liu, and Shilong saved Shaobao's life. ”

Liu Feng listened to what happened, and these past events seemed to appear in front of him, many unsolvable mysteries in the past troubled him, and now there are finally signs of unraveling.

It's just that the real murderer of his father hasn't shown up yet, and he is still a little worried.

This person was by no means simple, he set up many ambushes on the way for days, and insulted his ancestors outside the small village.

The people of the city are innocent, and this man is cruel and wants to put him to death in order to blame him.

Liu Feng thought secretly, he was too underestimating himself, his mind was racing, and he couldn't help but ask Lan Yingxiang and the others: "How do you know the identity of the other party?"

Liu Shilong showed the token and said: "The young master forgot this token, before my father died, he had already told me everything, when I knew the real name of Senior Lan, I had already guessed a few points, and deliberately left this token, looking at his expression." Things are very easy to do, the two of us can recognize each other as soon as we see the token, but at this moment, there are rumors: King Wei has a queen, and he is more expensive as the Southern Tang Dynasty Tai Lieutenant, we don't know whether it's true or not, but we don't want to let go of this opportunity. ”

Lan Yingxiang saw that Li Ji was silent, and Liu Feng was suspicious, so he said: "Yang Hu was the most favored by King Wei back then, because he got married early, so Du Pingyin ...... We have all seen it, good rhythm, very good memory, I have heard the king of Wei play the piano a few times, you can play solo, and Yang Hu has followed the king of Wei since he was a child, and the swordsmanship is taught by the king of Wei himself, which is not surprising. ”

Li Ji seemed to have an understanding, and said to himself: "No wonder my father often urged me to practice swordsmanship, but he didn't let me fiddle in front of people, even Qiu Meng didn't know about it, it turned out that he had always forgotten the old master, and he was afraid that this matter would be too widely implicated and cause trouble to the Li family." At this time, he was convinced of Lan Yingxiang's words, his mood calmed down a little, and he had more respect for Liu Feng.

Liu Feng was no longer angry, but gentle, Blue Eagle Xiangjing sighed to himself, and asked, "Does your father have a last word when he is dying?"

Li Ji said: "Yes!" glanced at the floor-to-ceiling screen, and there was a cabinet behind it.

Li Ji walked over and said: "There is something behind here, but I have never entered it, and my father said that I can't go in until I have to, just because the second uncle of the Li family has bad intentions, and my father and mother died in his hands." ”

Li Ji was sixteen years old that year, once he inadvertently passed by the study, heard a scream from inside, he was curious, looked in along the crack in the door, and saw the second uncle Yang Li slapped Li Zhongtang in the chest, and Du Pingyin pounced, Yang Li picked up a sword, and ruthlessly pierced her and Li Zhongtang.

Li Ji wanted to save him, but unfortunately his skills were not as good as Yang Li, so he had to endure for several years, waiting for an opportunity.

The past is vivid, Li Ji was heartbroken, and said with self-hatred: "That dog thief vainly tried the power of the Li family, so as to take refuge in the Great Zhou court, how could I not let him get his wish, sooner or later I will get rid of this person, four years, Li Ji has endured him long enough, he is still bullying Qiu Meng, I will never let him go!"

Liu Feng now fully understood Li Ji's original intention of hiding his martial arts before, and he no longer blamed him, and blurted out: "You secretly practice swordsmanship, I think he must have heard of it, and he may have some scruples." ”

Li Ji sighed secretly, and said after a while: "You don't know, my father was a good man in the rivers and lakes before his death, and he also cultivated a lot of good hands, just waiting for the day when he returned to the country, Yang Li knew this, coveted the power of the Li family, so he took the opportunity to attack his father, but he didn't expect his father to keep a hand, those people have long been under my control, because of this, I have my life to live to this day, I am afraid that he will assassinate, so I have to pretend to be a fool and deal with him." ”

Everyone couldn't help sighing, but they didn't expect Yang Hu to be killed by his own brother.

Li Ji looked at Liu Feng and said: "Do you know why Qiu Meng committed suicide? Hmph, today's Yang Li is no longer the Yang Li of the past, he has long been replaced, that day, Qiu Meng accidentally caught a glimpse of his true face, so he lost his soul and ran to the river, fortunately, there was a young master who saved her life. ”

Tian Shaoqing said suddenly: "No wonder I looked scared when I saw her come back, I see!" Thinking that night Fang Qiumeng must have told Li Ji everything he knew, and the couple also trusted each other.

Li Ji shook his head and smiled bitterly, looked around the room and said, "After my father died, I put this as an inner room, and I guess it's time to go in." ”

Li Ji walked to the side of the cabinet and pushed it hard, and the cabinet suddenly moved to the left, revealing a hole nearly a foot wide, square in shape, and the height of the cabinet.

Li Ji lit a lamp and went in first, and Liu Feng and the others followed.

Liu Feng didn't take a few steps, and when he turned around, he heard Tian Shaoqing calling him: "Brother Liu, I'll go outside and watch, Fang Qiumeng may not be able to deal with it, I'm afraid she is in danger." ”

Liu Feng knew that she was talking about Yang Li, nodded in agreement, and told her to be careful, if it was not necessary, don't have a conflict.

Tian Shaoqing agreed one by one, and walked outside, it was already dark, Fang Qiumeng was sitting in the courtyard with a lamp in his hand, with a stone bench in front of him, and was entertaining himself with a game of chess, when he saw her come out, he pursed his lips and smiled: "Miss Shaoqing, how about playing against me?"

Tian Shaoqing saw that although she was talking, she tried her best to pretend that nothing happened, but in fact, her eyes were slanted, and she glanced around intentionally or unintentionally.

Tian Shaoqing understood it in his heart, and said with a smile: "Okay, it's just that I don't go down often, you have to let me." He put down his sword and sat down closer.

At this time, Liu Feng, Lan Yingxiang and the others had already walked a long way, and after a long corridor, they arrived at a spacious secret room.

Li Ji lit a few withered lamps on the wall, and when the light shone, the two portraits on the wall came into everyone's eyes.

Lan Yingxiang saw it at a glance, knelt down on the spot, and said respectfully: "The emperor, the lord, Yingxiang is late!"

Liu Shilong and Lan Shaobao, as juniors, are not easy to shirk, they look at each other slightly, and they also kneel.

Li Ji looked at the portrait and was stunned for a moment, and also knelt side by side with Lan Yingxiang.

It turned out that his father Li Zhongtang was so loyal to Tang, and this time he understood his father's hard work, why he would train manpower, and he was relieved in his heart, and he didn't resist much.

The two portraits, a middle-aged man and a teenager, are strikingly similar in their heroic spirits, if Li Cunqiao's appearance is half and Li Jiqi's appearance is half, and the two are compatible, it is really a willow maple regeneration.

The pupils of the people in the painting, the pupils of Liu Feng, the overlapping gaze, and the forced gaze are so similar.

Haunted by dreams for several years, Liu Feng never expected that now, at this time, he was speechless and choked, staring at the portrait, and looked intently for a long time.

He has never seen his father's true face, and his childhood memories can only be spent in fantasy, he and his father's blood and bones are dissolved, but he feels that his father is kind and distant, and he has to sketch his father's voice in his dreams every time.

The glory and brilliance of the Li family were only exchanged for two aged portraits at this moment, leaving too many regrets.

Liu Feng's heart was agitated, countless tears were rolling, his eyes were moist, and he was stunned to recall all kinds of Li Tang, Lang Lang starlight flowed back and forth between the two portraits, and finally his eyes stayed on the face of the younger person in the painting, and slowly stepped forward, his fingers trembled, and he reached out to caress the face of the person in the painting, but his fingers did not dare to touch it at will, for fear that he would accidentally make this instant happiness disappear, so he stopped with his hands and muttered: "This ...... It's my dad, my dad is like that......"

This moment was like a dream for him, he had fantasized about his father's face, but it was always a vague shadow, and he never really saw it clearly.

There is so much compassion in the world, but there is someone like him, who can only look at a portrait and recall his father's voice.

The emperor's grandson, who is noble in words, is nothing more than a poor orphan without a father.

All of this requires your own perseverance, your own diligence, and you need to get through the long night.

At this moment, in front of this graceful and luxurious prince and grandson, the edge on his body is gone, and he has become a child who has infinite thoughts about his father.

Muttering, muttering to himself, excited, trembling......

It was as if his father was about to jump out of the painting and was smiling at him and comforting him, and he seemed to hear a voice in his ear: "Feng'er, my poor child......"

Liu Feng suddenly burst into tears, stared at the young Wang Sun in the painting, and lost his voice: "Daddy......" involuntarily reached out and touched it.

As soon as his long fingers touched it, layers of dust fell from the picture, and in an instant his eyes were blurred, and he fell on his shirt.

"Young master!" Li Ji saw this, rushed ahead and dusted him off.

Liu Feng didn't care much, blindly looked at the portrait, and said to himself: "Dad, Feng'er finally saw you!"

For the first time in twenty-six years, he had really called out the word 'Daddy', which was known to millions of ordinary people, and it was natural for everyone to speak, but to him, it was so distant, unfamiliar and kind, that he almost couldn't call it at that moment, and he only felt that all this taught him unbelievable.

When I saw Li Jiqi's true face for the first time, I couldn't help but burst into tears, knelt down, and kept kowtowing.

"Grandson Li Feng has seen the emperor, and the child has seen his father!" As soon as his hands pressed to the ground, Liu Feng kowtowed, and swore to the sky: "Feng'er swears here, he will live up to the high expectations of his ancestors, annihilate all countries, and unify the Tang Dynasty.

Raising his sleeves and wiping the corners of his eyes, his expression was like that of a young child under the care of a commoner's parents, he got up suddenly, looked at the portrait of Zhuangzong, and repeatedly promised: "Li Feng sincerely assures the emperor that he will calm the countries and lift the chaos, and he will definitely return all the territory of thousands of miles to Li Tang and revitalize the prestige of the Tang Dynasty......"

Lan Yingxiang was overjoyed, and then knelt down and said: "My subordinates swear to follow the young master to the death, and I am willing to break my bones for Datang, and my liver and brain will be ruined!"

"Okay!" Liu Feng raised his hand in a high-pitched voice and motioned to them.

Everyone thanked them and stood up.

Liu Feng said loudly: "I believe that the time when the Tang Dynasty will dominate the world is not far away. He turned around abruptly and shouted, "Blue Eagle Xiang!"

Lan Yingxiang knew that he had something to say, and said with his head bowed: "The subordinates are here!"

Liu Feng turned his back on them, walked away a few steps and said, "Solve the matter here, you can go back to Jinling with me." ”

Lan Yingxiang hesitated: "Does the young master want us to assist Li Jing, or do you want to fight the country by yourself?"

Liu Feng said: "Li Feng can't be treacherous, Li Jing has the grace of knowing me, without him, there would be no Li Feng today, since he is also Li Tang's back room, Li Feng will definitely assist him to unify the world, as for the emperor, I haven't thought about it!"

Lan Yingxiang was stunned for a while.

Li Ji was greatly moved, stepped forward and said: "Since the young master has this heart, Li Ji will help you, and you can eradicate the fake Yang Li." ”

Liu Shilong pondered Liu Feng's words repeatedly, and suddenly said to Liu Feng: "Sure enough, I am not mistaken, the young master is open-minded, Shilong admires it, and he will be willing to send it in the future, and he will never regret it!"
