Li Qinghuan

Among the folks, it is not easy to exchange a year of toil and travel for the joy and happiness of these few days.

At the beginning of the fifth year of Xuande, there was heavy snowfall in Yongzhou, and many people were displaced. It took more than half a year to take root again, and they all hoped to get rid of those bad luck and misfortunes in the new year.

The twelfth lunar month has passed, the snow is getting smaller, and He Li's hanging heart is slowly letting go.

After the new year, the weather gradually warmed up, and He Li started to follow Yuan Qingyang and Ji Luoyan to get up early to do exercises again, not daring to slack off for a day.

Baozi changed its name to He Yuan on the first day of the Lunar New Year in the sixth year of Xuande.

At the beginning of March, Yuan Qingyang left Pingyao with Ji Luoyan and He Yuan.

When seeing him off, He Li didn't say a word, kowtowed three times to Yuan Qingyang heavily on his knees, Yuan Qingyang sighed and leaned over to help him up.

"There is a long way to go, Master, take care."

Reluctant to let go, He Yuan stepped forward and hugged He Li: "I'm gone, my lord, I will remember to miss you."

He Li reached out and patted his head: "Okay."

Ji Luoyan didn't say anything, and bowed to He Li and Qin Yang.

"Take care in the future." This was the last sentence Yuan Qingyang left for He Li, and after he finished speaking, he turned around and left with the two children.

The three of them were holding a horse each, and they looked a bit like chivalrous knights in the rivers and lakes.

"Go back." Qin Yang said softly.

He Li nodded, turned around and walked back.

The day after Yuan Qingyang left, Gao Yangsu also took Yun Yi to leave. He still had some things to do, and said that if he had the opportunity to go to the northwest to find him in the future.

Having been together day and night for half a year, when these people left one after another, He Li didn't have much emotion. The mountains are high and the roads are far away, and there will always be a day when they meet again.

The mountains and forests gradually began to turn green. Qin Yang was busy resettling the old and weak women and children in the village, and he was left alone, fighting against the cold wind in early spring in the forest every day with a soul-killing gun.

Spring passed without a trace, and He Li was waiting for the flowers to bloom.

The flowers bloomed very late this year, and the person he was waiting for did not come.

The apricot blossoms in the mountains bloomed and withered, He Li thought it was okay, there were still peach blossoms.Later, the peach blossoms also withered, and he felt that there was nothing serious, since the pear blossoms hadn't bloomed yet.

When the pear blossoms withered, he still didn't get that person, only a letter.

The letter said that he would not be able to come, Donghu was attacking aggressively, and the household department was so busy that he really couldn't leave.

Sitting in front of the table, He Li calmly put away the letter and put it in his arms, it was hard to distinguish between joy and sorrow.

The door was wide open. Seeing him in the room, Qin Yang knocked on the door: "A Li."

He Li turned his head and got up: "Please come in."

Qin Yang cut to the chase and said, "Ji Qing has sent you a letter."

He Li nodded: "I know, I got it."

"I'm not talking about that letter. Ji Qing gave you the letter from home alone." Qin Yang hung the knife on his waist, and then took out a piece of paper folded into squares from his waist and handed it to He Li , "This letter. Donghu made a big attack and declared war with his face broken."

He Li took the paper from Qin Yang's hand, unfolded it and looked at it again.

The Hu people invaded aggressively, and General He led [-] soldiers of the Red Wing Army from Yanzhou to fight northward.

Qin Yang waited for him to read the letter, and said softly: "The Red Wing Army has only 10 people, how can it resist the barbarians' army of tens of millions? I'm afraid they will have to conscript again."

He Li flattened the letter paper and put it into his bosom together with the other one, then said: "The Red Wing Army is the elite army of the Wei Dynasty, how can the Hu people easily defeat it? But the form is not optimistic, the Hu people are strong and strong, The Great Wei has lightened military forces for many years, and apart from the Red Wing Army, there is no other army that can compete with the Eastern Hu army."

Qin Yang: "I'm afraid of being outnumbered."

He Li nodded: "Donghu's attack this time has been planned for a long time. He must want to overthrow Wei in one fell swoop and take control of the Central Plains."

Qin Yang was silent for a moment, and said, "Then when are we going to leave for the northern border?"

He Li pondered and said: "Don't be busy, you first arrange for the old and weak women and children in the village, and then bring your brothers down the mountain with me to recruit troops."

"Recruiting troops?"

He Li nodded: "That's right, recruiting troops and buying horses, enough to gather 5000 people. Most of the brothers are guilty of crimes. I have no power and power now, and I can't seek justice for them. Taking a step back, even Heming's side After getting justice for them, there is no way to clear them of their charges, for the future of the brothers, this is the only way to go."

Most of the people in the village have indeed violated the law. This is an unchangeable fact. Even if all the officials of the Pingyao government are investigated and dealt with, they will still be punished.

In the Great Wei Dynasty, a guilty person who joined the army could only be a soldier, with tattoos on his face, he could never be promoted, he would not be recognized after death, and he could not even keep his name.It is not impossible to get rid of the status of a sinner. You have to join the civil corps. If you join the civil corps, you will be considered as a powerful asylum. 5000 people cannot be called Corps.Due to the influence of hundreds of young martial arts concepts, there are very few civil corps in the Great Wei. This road is equivalent to a dead end in today's Great Wei.

As soon as He Li said, Qin Yang immediately reacted, and knelt down in front of He Li with a plop.

Before she had time to speak, He Li pulled her up again: "Miss Qin, don't keep kneeling on me. If you kneel down again, I will lose my life."

Qin Yang paused, then clasped his hands, and said, "The son is so kind and virtuous, Qin Yang will never forget it."

He Li waved his hand: "Miss Qin is serious, go get busy."

"Okay." Qin Yang was indeed busy, so without any delay, he withdrew his hand, turned and left.

At the beginning of May, with Ji Qing's help, the ups and downs of the cottage were properly arranged.

And He Li also received a reply letter from his grandfather in early May. When He Li opened the envelope, he unexpectedly found two pieces of paper inside. He was taken aback, and took out one first.

Seeing the content on the paper, He Li burst out laughing, there were only a few big words scrawled on the whole piece of paper: "Look at the arrangement."

He Li smiled, and said in his heart that he was indeed his grandfather.General He agreed to He Yuan's entry into the He family tree.

He Li put down this piece of paper, and pulled out another piece of paper from the envelope.

This piece of paper has already started to turn yellow. I don't know when it was written. The handwriting on the paper is beautiful, and He Li is very familiar with it - it's the handwriting of his own mother, He Zhiyu.

He Li's hands began to tremble for no reason, and his vision became somewhat blurred.

"My son Li, if there is no accident, when you read this letter, your mother is no longer alive. When you entrusted this to my father, I was already terminally ill, and there was no cure. Whether I can live to my son's crown and see my son get married and start a career, if I can, it will be my mother's great fortune; if not, I am satisfied to be able to grow up with you so far."

"I only hope that my Ah Li can live a safe and happy life, and that he can spend his whole life with the one he loves."

"My mother married into the Song Dynasty royal family. Although she is the mother of the country, she has been looking for a way to return home all her life. The road to return to her heart is ultimately unsuccessful. I hope my son will not have such troubles in his life. I only pray for my son's safety and success for my mother. , to pray for my son's words, hope to cherish it."

He Li pinched the letter tightly with his fingers, and tears fell down like broken beads.

Although my own mother has a gentle temperament, she was born in a general family. She has always been calm, self-restraining, resolute and resolute, and she didn't even leave him a last letter.

He Li didn't know whether to be sad or happy, he knelt down on the ground while leaning on the table.

After staring at the forest outside the window for a while, He Li took a deep breath and gathered his strength to stand up.

Someone pushed the door open, and He Li wiped away the tears on his face in a panic.

"Why are you sitting on the ground?"

The voice was clear and clear, what He Li was familiar with couldn't be more familiar.

"Heming? Why are you here?"

He Li turned his head suddenly, and Ji Qing was standing in front of him in white clothes.

Before He Li could react, Ji Qing's hands were already on his waist, and he hugged him by the waist.

Logically speaking, He Li has a man's physique no matter what, although he is not considered fat, but every time he is carried by Ji Qing like a child, he hugs him effortlessly, somewhat depressed and self-doubting.

Ji Qing put him on the ground and stood firm, lowered his head slightly and said, "A Li, are you crying?"

He Li shook his head and denied, "No."

"Your eye sockets are still red." Ji Qing chuckled, reached out to hold his face, and gently wiped the corners of his eyes with his fingertips.

He Li involuntarily breathed lightly, for fear of disturbing the tranquility at this moment.

Ji Qing's face was close at hand, his eyes were slightly black and blue, his cheeks were a lot thinner, and he was exhausted at first glance.It's just that those eyes were still clear and beautiful, He Li couldn't help being fascinated.

Ji Qing smiled, and gently scratched the tip of his nose with his fingers.

Only then did He Li come back to his senses, and asked, "Why are you here?"

Ji Qing took half a step back: "Didn't you send me a letter earlier? You basically told me about the Pingyao government, and I asked Song Duan to deal with the matter here."

He Li frowned: "Isn't there already a fight in the Northwest? The imperial court must be extremely busy at this time, how can they have time to take care of these trivial matters? And sent you a dignified servant of the household department?"

Ji Qing smiled slyly: "Song Duan would definitely not agree to such a trivial matter, so guess what excuse do I have?"

He Li pondered for a moment, but couldn't think of any reason why Song Duan would let Ji Qing come here, so he shook his head honestly.

Ji Qing: "The imperial court is in urgent need of military training, and has sent me to suppress the bandits."

He Li: "What? Don't lie to me, you civil servant, what kind of bandits are you suppressing?"

"Of course it wasn't me who suppressed the bandits, it was Chen Zheng." Ji Qing explained, "It's just that he is a military commander. Song Duan was not at ease in gathering the entire army of Yongzhou in his hands, so he gave me the tiger talisman. Don't mobilize troops."

He Li nodded suspiciously, frowned and said, "I always feel that things are not that simple. There are many courtiers, so why didn't he send someone else but you?"

Ji Qing sighed: "I find that you are really perceptive sometimes."

He Li pushed him onto the chair and sat down, raised one leg and stepped on the chair, leaned over and stretched out two fingers to pick up his chin: "You'd better tell the truth, don't try to lie to me."

This looks like a little hooligan who molested women from good families.

It's a pity that Ji Qing is not a good woman, so she grabbed the little rascal's neck and kissed her.

As soon as He Li lost his balance, he fell into his arms in extreme embarrassment, his chin being pinched so tightly that he couldn't breathe.

After a long while, Ji Qing let go of him, panting lightly and said, "Military expenses are urgent, I asked Yuan Xi to take 500 million taels of silver. The person I am looking for, of course, Song Duan will give me this face, give him money and help him with affairs. A fool would not do something."

He Li's eyes flickered, and he teased, "Young Master Ji is such a big hand, 500 million taels is what you want."

Ji Qing: "Not much, anyway, it's for General He in the end, so let's consider it as a betrothal gift for Young Master He."

He Li raised his eyebrows and teased, "I'm a golden branch and jade leaf, the emperor's aristocrat. Just want me to marry you for 500 million taels? Who do you look down on?"

Ji Qing's heart was beating like a drum: "Three letters and six rituals, three matchmakers and six engagements, and the bright matchmaker is getting married, you will never be missed."

He Li stood up, walked backwards to the bed, tilted his head, smiled slightly, and said provocatively, "I...as long as you love me."

Ji Qing couldn't bear it anymore, he slammed the window with his backhand, and approached with a smile: "I've recovered from my injury."
