Chapter 91 Father and Son Meeting

Ten years passed by.

It has been nearly ten years since I met Li Ji for the last time.

A lot of things have happened in the past ten years. In Li Ji's eyes, Yan Qing is no longer the boy with a draped bun; in Yan Qing's eyes, Li Ji is not just his teacher, but also has a more identity: father.

Li Yanqing is not a child, so he can't just say the word "father" casually.

Even in his heart, Li Ji was the most affectionate elder besides Zheng Shi'an, and he would not change his words easily.

Therefore, when the word "father" came to his mouth, it became the name of teacher. Li Ji looked much older than ten years ago.

There are many wrinkles on the face and bright hair in the sideburns.

His body was still clear and his body was just like before. He was wearing a gray-heat robe and covered with a brocade cloak. When he heard Yan Qing's name, his cheeks twitched. He took two steps forward, but stopped again, and then he returned to calm and smiled slightly.

"I haven't seen you for ten years, Young Master Go has become a crazy person."

Li Ji seemed to whisper, but she was filled with many deep emotions.

Li Yanqing signaled Mao Xiaonian to step down and personally serve tea.

"Teacher, can you always be good?"

Li Ji nodded and pointed at the old man sitting next to him, "Yan Qing, do you still recognize Mr. Wang?"

Yan Qing turned his head and looked at the old man, with a confused look in his eyes. He still looked familiar, but he really couldn't remember when he had seen it.

The old man couldn't help but smile, "Young Master, do you still remember that Anyuan sacrificed the Kitchen God ten years ago?"

"ah!"

Li Yanqing suddenly realized and pointed at the old man, "Are you Mr. Wang Jingwen?"

“That’s right.”

Wang Jingwen, whose real name was Wang Jing, was the second son of Wang Sengbian. During the Renshou period, he was originally a military officer in the mansion of King Yang Liang of Han. Before Yang Jian passed away, he planned for the King of Han. According to Yang Liang's plan, Shandong soldiers and horses were the key to his usurpation of the throne. Therefore, Wang Jingwen was sent to Xingyang with the soldiers of the King of Han, Pei An, to go to Xingyang. Unexpectedly, the flaws were seen before the success of the matter. Li Yanqing killed Pei An, and Wang Jing was imprisoned by Zheng Dashi, the leader of Anyuantang at that time.

After Zheng Dashi's death, Zheng Shi'an discovered the Wang Jun who was still imprisoned and mentioned this matter to Yan Qing.

Wang Hu is indeed a hot potato and it is difficult to settle. So Yan Qing suggested that Wang Hu be sent to Li Ji's side, and he did not ask about it again since then.

Speaking of which, Yan Qing hasn't seen Wang Zhu in ten years!

Therefore, at first sight, he looked familiar. But when Wang Jun mentioned the incident, he immediately recalled it.

It seems that the teacher has already conquered Wang Jun?

Yan Qing was puzzled and went up to meet Wang Xu again. Wang Xu introduced the man beside him, who was Wang Xu's son, named Wang Gui, and his name was Shujie. Ten years ago, he was also very famous and was a famous scholar with literary talent at that time. However, he was implicated by Wang Xu. After Yang Liang's defeat, Wang Hui fled into Zhongnan Mountain and hid for eight years. It was not until two years ago that after the Li family in Longxi accepted Li Yuan's branch, Wang Xu contacted Wang Hui and introduced Wang Hui to Li Ji with Wang Xu's recommendation.

Wang Gui is a man with a straightforward temperament and advocates Confucian loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, righteousness and courtesy.

However, due to the involvement of the King of Han, he had no favoritism for the Sui Dynasty.

Li Yanqing quickly greeted him, and Wang Gui also acted extremely politely.

After both sides sat down, Li Yanqing asked: "Teacher, where are you from? Where are you going?"

Li Jiqiang suppressed the excitement in his heart and said calmly: "I came from Longxi... I should have arrived two months ago, but I didn't expect Yang Xuangan to cause trouble, causing the road to Guanzhong to be closed until the month before. Unexpectedly, as soon as I came out of seclusion, I heard about you.

Yan Qing, can you accompany me to burn incense in front of Zheng Gong’s tomb?”

"Ah, that's right."

Li Yanqing quickly stood up and accompanied Li Ji out of the cottage. However, Wang Jun and Wang Gui and his son did not move, but stayed in the cottage.

"Dad, I heard that this young man seems to be quite loyal to Yang."

"He is loyal to Yang, but unfortunately Yang may not be able to use him. Shujie, have you thought about it? Should I go to Taiyuan with Mr. Li, or stay here with me?"

Wang Gui hesitated a little, pondered for a moment and said, "I still want to go to Taiyuan."

"Why, you don't want to stay?"

"I can't say I don't want to do it. I just want to go to Taiyuan and take a look more, and maybe there will be other gains."

Wang Jun smiled and nodded, "Since you have already made a decision, then you can decide. However, the situation in Taiyuan may not be better than here. Although the Duke of Tang has a prominent position, he may not really believe in him in the court. After you go to Taiyuan, you should be more careful... Duke of Tang is not as good as the King of Han, and your stubborn nature should be restrained. Don't let your temperament do things."

Wang Gui said: "The child keeps his father's teachings in mind."

The father and son were talking in the cottage, and Li Yanqing and Li Ji also came to Zheng Shi'an's grave.

Mao Xiaonian and Shen Guang followed and presented Li Ji with incense and candles. Li Ji stepped forward and saluted, and then stood silently in front of the grave.

Yan Qing could see that Li Ji seemed to have something to say.

"Old Shen, you and Xiao Nian go back... Just let Siyan and Xiao Yao stay. Go back and tell me Da Heizi and Ah Ling to ask them to go back to the city to buy some wine and food."

Shen Guang and Mao Xiaonian agreed and bowed and retreated.

Li Ji stood in front of the grave and listened quietly.

He also had to sigh that the child has indeed grown up and has known how to check other people's thoughts.

Li Yanqing stood behind Li Ji, silently speaking.

After a long time, Li Ji suddenly turned around and a miserable smile appeared on his face, "Yan Qing, you know everything, don't you?"

In front of Li Ji, Yan Qing felt very restrained for the first time.

He hesitated for a moment, slowly put his hand into his arms, then stretched out and spread his palms out.

A long life lock was quietly spread in Yan Qing's hand. After learning about his life experience, Li Yanqing had imagined the scene of meeting Li Ji more than once. But he never expected that he would recognize Li Ji under such circumstances. A relative left and a relative came. It sounded like a very warm thing, but in fact, it was so cruel...

Li Yanqing raised her head and stared at Li Ji.

Strangely, he was not excited at all, nor was he happy at this moment.

When Li Ji saw the long-lived lock, he was really excited. Tears flashed in his eyes, and he stretched out his hand tremblingly and picked up the long-lived lock.

"Speak and act, celebrate the clouds and the phoenixes."

He flipped over the long life lock and smiled miserably, "Ono Lin'er..."

In the past, Li Yanqing had been wondering what the four words "Daye Lin'er" meant. Lin'er, as the name suggests, does not need to be discussed, but what does Daye mean? Later, it was not until Yan Hu appeared and pointed out his origin that Yan Qing understood the meaning.

Li Yuan's grandfather, his great-grandfather Li Hu, was one of the eight pillar states of the Western Wei Dynasty.

At that time, the Guanlong nobles were named Hu. Li Hu's surname was "Daye". Just like Yang Jian, he was also given the Hu surname "Jin Liuru". Daye was actually the Hu surname, which also represents Yan Qing's origin. It was only because Yang Jian usurped Zhou, in order to eliminate Hu Hua, that most of the Guanlong nobles restored the Han surname.

For example, Dou Wei, during the Northern Anniversary, it was Hedouling Wei.

It was only after entering the Sui Dynasty that it was changed to Dou Wei, and this title continued.

"Sixteen years ago, I received a letter from my brother. My sister-in-law was about to give birth in Wugong Mountain, but my brother was not around and asked me to take care of her.

Since my father failed to assassinate Yang, thanks to my brother's care, my sister-in-law has treated me well. Therefore, after I received the news, I rushed to Guanzhong immediately. Before leaving, I asked someone to build this long-lived lock and gave it to my child who was just over a month old. I originally thought I would meet again soon, but I didn't expect that from then on, it would be forever separated by heaven and man. As soon as I arrived at Wugong Mountain, I heard that Yanjia Village was surrounded by the imperial court...

More than a hundred people in the family were slaughtered.

I wanted to rush back, but my sister-in-law stopped me. She said, the news was very tight, and even if I went back, I would die. Instead of dying for nothing, it would be better to keep a useful body and take revenge on the spot... But I didn't expect that this wait would be sixteen years."

Li Ji said in a trembling voice, Yuqing still seemed calm.

After rebirth, he had forgotten many things... But he still remembered the fierce battle that night.

Li Ji's words did not make him have too many impulses. On the contrary, because he was prepared for a long time, he could hear some clues from Li Ji's words.

Could it be that Li Yuan also knew about the actions of the court?

Otherwise, why don’t you shout early or late? But at that time, Li Ji was recalled to Guanzhong?

If Li Yuan had known about this, why didn’t he notify him in advance? Or would he ask Li Ji to go with his wife and children?

This doubt can never be stopped once it arises.

Li Yanqing opened his mouth and suddenly asked, "Duke of Tang, do you know that the court is going to encircle Yanjia Village?"

Li Ji was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be known. If my brother knew about this, how could he not notify me in advance?"

Immediately, he smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that you already know, right?"

Li Yanqing hesitated for a moment and said in a deep voice: "My uncle is still alive and now he becomes a monk in Shaolin Temple. At the beginning of the year, my uncle and I recognized each other, so I already knew the general situation. Moreover, Mrs. Dou was also on the side at that time. Although she didn't say anything, she thought she would recognize her uncle.

Old... Did you come to me after hearing Mrs. Dou mention it?"

Lee Ki, or should be called his real name, Lee Hyo Ki.

He shook his head in confusion, "Brother Hu is still alive? I don't know much about this. In fact, ten years ago, I had already vaguely guessed your origin. Yuwaer, you look very similar to your mother... When I first met you, I was very surprised. Later, I asked the old uncle of the Dou family to come forward to inquire. The time when you were adopted by the Zheng family happened almost at the same time as the death of Yanjia Village... But I was suffering from the lack of evidence at that time, and my identity was extremely sensitive. Yang wanted to move the capital to Luoyang, and I really didn't dare to recognize you at that time."

Li Yanqing felt much more comfortable in his heart.

I thought Lee Hyo-gi had been assigned by Li Yuan, so I came to him.

So that's not the case!

He opened his mouth and wanted to call Lee Hyo-ki "father".

But for some reason, the words came to my mouth, but I couldn't say it.

Lee Hyo-gi could see Yan Qing's thoughts, and a smile suddenly appeared on his thin face.

He suddenly took a step forward and reached out to hug Yan Qing in his arms. Ten years ago, Yan Qing was still a child, and ten years later, his size was almost catching up with him.

"Yuwaer, don't force yourself if you can't call it out.

I know, you have suffered in the past sixteen years... When you want to scream, we won’t be in a hurry for a while. Hahaha, I am really happy today. God treats me Lee Hyo-ki very well. I didn’t expect that the student I value the most is my child.

Let's go back... I've prepared a gift for you this time."

Lee Hyo-gi smiled with tears in her eyes, took Yan Qing's hand and walked back.

This is not the first time that Lee Hyo-ki holds his hand, but this time, Yan Qing has an extremely wonderful feeling.

The empty heart seemed to be filled in an instant. He was pulled by Lee Hyo-ki, and he couldn't help but walk with Lee Hyo-ki and walked towards the cottage.

Although my grandfather left, I seemed to have another relative.
