Chapter 68 Lion and Tiger

"My nephew greets Mrs. Dou!"

Yan Qing looked calm and stepped forward to salute respectfully.

But although he didn't have any fluctuations on the surface, his heart was full of ups and downs. Duke Tang, Mrs. Dou... Wasn't that Li Yuan's wife, the famous Empress Taimu in history? In history, the description of Empress Taimu was not too detailed, only intermittent chapters. But these chapters are enough to outline the image of Empress Taimu to the fullest.

Mrs. Dou was the royal family of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and her uncle was the emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

At that time, the emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty married the Turks and acquired a Turkic princess. Theoretically, this was a political marriage, so the emperor had no feelings for the Turkic princess, and was even unwilling to spend the night in the palace, and was very cold. Mrs. Dou, who was eight years old at the time, stood up and said to her uncle: Uncle, since you married the Turkic princess for the peace between the Turkic and the Central Plains, you should treat the queen well for this hard-won peace. Otherwise, if you marry the queen and ignore it, what's the use?

Since you have done it, you must fulfill your responsibilities and not start with the slightest end.

It is indeed not easy for an eight-year-old girl to say such words. The emperor also treated the queen well and improved her relationship with the Turks.

Mrs. Dou's father was Dou Wei, the then Shenwu Gong.

The wife of Shenwu Gong was the sister of the Northern Zhou Emperor.

When Yang Jian usurped Zhou, when Mrs. Dou learned about it, she was extremely angry, "I can't be a man and eliminate the evil deeds for my uncle."

They only scared Dou Wei and his wife, covering her mouth and not daring to let her speak again. Later, Mrs. Dou married Li Yuan, fulfilling her responsibilities as a good wife and mother. Li Yuan had a good appearance as a boy and a girl. As she grew older, she was often humiliated and ridiculed by Yang Guang in public.

Li Yuan laughed and laughed on the surface, but after returning home, he couldn't help crying loudly.

It was Mrs. Dou who encouraged and comforted Li Yuanzhong and regained his heart and dealt with Yang Guang.

However, good people always seem to be rewarded. Mrs. Dou left early, with four sons and one daughter under her knees, and in the end she was in a scene of flesh and blood tragic death...

This is a respectable woman, but she left too early!

If Mrs. Dou is alive, will Li Shimin succeed in the Xuanwu Gate Incident? It is unknown.

Mrs. Dou smiled kindly and looked at Yan Qing as if she was looking at her own child. She seemed even happier when she heard Yan Qing call herself a son and nephew.

"Young master doesn't have to be too polite.

Laosen has long heard that Young Master Ge is a talented person, and he is a strange boy today. Duke Li has also mentioned your name in front of me many times, but he just wishes he would not be able to see him at first.

I only realized today that the rumors are true. The young master's style is even more so than the rumors."

Yan Qing was so delicate that when Li Yunxiu saw him, he said that he was too bookish and lacked some heroic spirit. He had been separated from Li Yunxiu for three or four years. Although Zheng Yanqing's appearance had not changed much, he had a little more murderous aura after experiencing a fierce battle in Goguryeo. It was this aura of conquest that made Yan Qing look more masculinity.

After hearing Mrs. Dou's praise, Yan Qing was rare and blushed.

"Okay, don't be polite... My sister came from afar and she had something to discuss with you."

Pei Shuying spoke and let both sides sit down.

Because Zheng Shi'an was in poor health, Pei Shuying would come out and greet him when Zheng Yanqing was away. However, even if Zheng Shi'an was in good health, he would not be able to share the same place when Zheng Shi'an was in good health. The disparity in his identity was too great.

In terms of seniority, Pei Shuying would like to call Mrs. Dou sister.

After Mrs. Dou sat down, she pointed at the two young men beside her, "Erlang, Lion and Tiger, I have never seen Mr. Goose."

The heroic young man stood up and said, "Shimin, I have met my brother."

The sick young man coughed gently and stood up politely and bowed: "My name is Li Xuanba, I have seen my brother."

Shimin?

When Zheng Yanqing walked into the middle hall and saw the heroic young man for the first time, he vaguely guessed the other person's identity. But when he heard the other person telling his own family, a stir in his heart. He was Li Shimin, this young man... was Taizong, the famous Li Shimin who founded the Zhenguan rule?

Although before that, Yan Qing had repeatedly considered various scenes of meeting Li Shimin in his mind. But when he really met Li Shimin, the throbbing in his heart was hard to describe. He was Li Shimin, he was Emperor Taizong of Tang, and he was the backer I would like to rely on in the future...

Yan Qing tried hard to keep himself calm, but his eyes were burning and his voice was slightly trembling.

"I heard the name of Erlang for a long time, and I saw it today, and I am really lucky in my three lives."

However, that sick young man... Li Xuanba! Could it be that he was the first hero of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and was the prototype of Li Yuanba?

In history, Li Xuanba died very early, and died at about fourteen years old.

Yan Qing didn't know how Li Yuanba got the image. But it must be groundless. However, Zheng Yanqing could not associate Li Xuanba in front of him with the number one master of the Sui and Tang dynasty who beat the 18th rebel king and defeated heroes from all sides in a panic. Is this Li Xuanba really the legendary Li Yuanba? Is he really as powerful as in the novel storytelling?

"Xuanba, it seems that he has a physical illness?"

Yan Qing's medical skills are not very good, but after all, he has been with Sun Simiao for almost two years.

This ability to look, listen, ask and touch is not only perfect, but also a little bit hot. Li Xuanba's face was pale and blue, and his eyes were a little unconscious. Especially when he started coughing, Yan Qing could hear that the cough sound was mixed, and it seemed to have a disease in his lungs. It was quite similar to the symptoms of Guanyin maid and Changsun Wugui at that time.

Mrs. Dou's face turned happy, "Yan Qing, did you see it?"

"Oh, I have learned some with the saint Mr. Simiaosun, but I am not very smart... Madam, is it because you are here this time..."

Zheng Yanqing is so smart that he can't see any clues when seeing Li Xuanba's situation.

Mrs. Dou took Li Xuanba's hand and asked him to sit beside her and hugged him gently. Li Xuanba looked like a gentle kitten, nestled in Mrs. Dou's arms. Her slender eyes were staring at Yan Qing, as if she was curious, but she seemed to be observing.

It's not just Li Xuanba, but Li Shimin is also observing.

He heard his father mention Yanqing, and his sister talk about Yanqing.

My father said: Half of you is very literary, meticulous in thoughts, and extraordinary in your knowledge. He is a great wise man of the world.

The sister said: Mr. Go is indeed talented, but he is a little feminine, a little feminine, and not a manly spirit.

From then on, Li Shimin remembered Zheng Yanqing.

He began to collect all the information about Yan Qing and tried to copy the goose style (Yan style) created by Yan Qing. Although Li Shimin was from a high school, he was a good person who was good at learning. He liked to think about people and was good at learning the strengths of others. At the beginning, he was not convinced by Yan Qing, thinking that Yan Qing could only be a good writer and could not be the word "Great Sage". At one time, he even believed that Yan Qing had a reputation for being a wise man.

However, when Zheng Yanqing's "Three Kingdoms" was published, Li Shimin was impressed.

The "Three Kingdoms" that Yan Qing could not be published can be said to be read repeatedly by Li Shimin. The more he reads, the more he feels about Yan Qing, and it feels unfathomable.

Until Yan Qing conquered Pyongyang and Zheng Xing framed Yan Qing to surrender to the enemy, Li Shimin's first reaction was: If Zheng Yanqing surrendered to the enemy, Goguryeo will be like a tiger... Later, when he heard that Zheng Yanqing was framed, he felt relaxed and said to Li Yunxiu with a smile: Goguryeo is going to be unlucky!

In fact, the Goguryeo people seem to be in trouble...

When I saw you today, Mr. Go is indeed a handsome talent.

But why is he a little excited? He seems to be quite close to me?

Although Li Shimin is the son of Li Yuan, he is the second son after all. In terms of future, he is definitely not as good as his elder brother Jiancheng. Zheng Yanqing came from the Zheng family, and even a subordinate branch, he may not be inferior to him. In terms of fame, Zheng Yanqing has a vague reputation as a master, enjoys a high reputation in the literary world, and has made great military achievements in Goguryeo, which is not comparable to Li Shimin. But why was he so excited to see me?

There was a little bit of pride in my heart, but more so, it was still kind.

Yan Qing didn't know that the kindness he unintentionally released was accurately captured by Li Shimin and remembered it in his heart.

At this time, his attention was attracted by Mrs. Dou.

Mrs. Dou said: "To be honest with the young master, Xuanba's body is indeed not good.

It's strange that he was a little weak when he was born, but he was born with divine power. My Duke Li and I didn't care at first, thinking that he was so strong, how could his body be bad? The older Xuan Ba ​​is, the stronger his strength, but the worse his body looks...

After winter began last year, his condition became more and more serious.

I found Mr. Chao Yuanfang, but Mr. Chao said that Xuanba was born with anger. If he had been treated at first, it would be of no use, but now... Mr. Chao can only stabilize his condition, but cannot cure it. However, he gave me an idea, saying that Changsun Wugui, the daughter of Changsun Sheng, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, also suffered from this disease, and later almost lost his life because of it.

But I heard that her condition has improved now, and it is all because you escorted her to Minshu to find Mr. Sun Simiao and Sun for treatment.

I immediately rushed to Luoyang, but I didn't expect that Mrs. Gao would take Wuji to Minshu when the autumn ended last year. Minshu was so big, I didn't know how to find them... Later, my brother came up with an idea and said that since the young master could take Changsun's maid to Sichuan for medical treatment back then, I must know Mr. Sun's whereabouts and must have a good relationship with Mr. Sun. Then I took Xuanba and took the liberty to come."

Zheng Yanqing suddenly realized when he heard this.

He got up, walked to Li Xuanba's side, and looked up his hand to take his pulse.

But as soon as his hand touched Li Xuanba's wrist, he saw Li Xuanba suddenly flip his hand, and his big hand with a vein turned into a tiger's claw and grabbed Zheng Yanqing's palm. The speed was as fast as lightning. Zheng Yanqing quickly shrank his hand, flipped his palm, trying to dissolve Li Xuanba's tiger claws. However, Li Xuanba turned his claws into palms, and the blond and Yanqing had a head-on collision.

Good, this guy's hands are like iron blocks.

A huge force exerted force, which made Yan Qing's arms numb and his fingers were as if they were broken.

"Xuanba, don't be rude."

Mrs. Dou screamed in shock, and Li Xuanba stopped.

"Young Master, you..."

"Xuanba's great strength is indeed worthy of being the name of Lion and Tiger."

Yan Qing showed nothing on his face, but his hands were behind him, but he kept shaking.

Li Shimin's eyes lit up. How could he not know how amazing his brother's strength was. In his early years, Li Yuan saw that Li Xuanba's amazing divine power was amazing, so he invited famous teachers to give advice. His martial arts skills were so brilliant that even adults were not his opponents.

He also knew why Li Xuanba took action.

Because the youth is full of energy...

All day long, all you hear is Yan Qing’s name. How could Li Xuanba be convinced?

However, Zheng Yanqing was able to take Li Xuanba's attack, and his skills seemed to be bad. Thinking about it, if it weren't for this ability, how could he be safe and sound? He would have come out of hundreds of thousands of Goguryeo killing generals? This man can be literary and martial, and as my father said, he is a great wise man of the world.

"Ahem."

After Li Xuanba made a move, he coughed, and then a innocent smile appeared on his pale face, "If you can take my move, you are a capable person."

After saying that, he reached out and asked Zheng Yanqing to take his pulse.

Yan Qing couldn't help but feel a little amused and shook his head gently, and reached out to diagnose Li Xuanba.

Mrs. Dou looked at Yan Qing with a nervous look on her face and looked at her expectantly. Li Xuanba's pulse was similar to Changsun Wugui's pulse at the time, but it was far less serious than Changsun Wugui's.

"Madam, has the Lion and Tiger ever refined their energy?"
