Mysterious Tang Dynasty

Li Lijun returned to Ziyun Temple near the evening, and heard the news that Mrs. Lin Guogong came to visit her daughter as soon as she entered the door.

Mrs. Lin Guogong hasn't left yet at this hour, maybe she plans to stay overnight in the temple tonight?

Li Lijun didn't take it seriously, and only ordered the female Taoist priests and maids in the temple to treat her well, and sent Erhong to deliver some things for her, and then went back to the courtyard where she lived.If she was still in the Sui Palace, she should actually have gone to see Mrs. Lin Guogong, an elder.But now that she is a monk, you don't have to worry about these common etiquettes, right?

However, to her surprise, when she returned to the gate of her courtyard, she saw Lin Jiulang, who had been away for a long time, standing there, leaning against the wall with his arms folded, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Li Lijun coming back, Lin Jiulang's eyes lit up, and he rushed to meet her, but soon realized that she was wearing a Taoist robe now, dressed like a little Taoist priest, and her whole image was quite different from before.If he hadn't seen her face first, he might not have recognized her.

Lin Jiulang paused, and the expression on his face became a little complicated. An indescribable uncomfortable feeling surged from the bottom of his heart: "Si Niangzi, you...are you really a monk?"

Li Lijun bowed to him calmly: "Long time no see, why is Lin Jiulang here? You came to visit Third Aunt with Mrs. Lin Guogong?"

Lin Jiulang nodded: "Yes, you..." He looked at Li Lijun's outfit again, hesitating to speak.

Li Lijun smiled: "I said earlier that I would become a monk. Could it be possible that I can still deceive people?"

Lin Jiulang would rather that she was lying, or...don't become a monk so early, wait a few more years, maybe she will change her mind?
But she became a monk so simply and neatly, without any hesitation.Now that she has made up her mind, what can others say?
Lin Jiulang tried hard to suppress the sourness in his heart, and forced a smile: "I... I really plan to leave Chang'an, so I came here to say goodbye to you. Our whole family plans to go to Lingnan, but grandma and a few aunts I will stay in Chang'an to take care of my little aunt for the time being, and maybe I will leave next year."

Li Lijun was a little surprised: "Your family is leaving? Is it okay? The saint agreed?"

Lin Jiulang actually felt that this was a bit surprising, but he answered honestly: "A Weng wrote a letter asking to take all the sons and daughters of the family to Lingnan, and the sage did not refuse, and no one came to stop my uncle and cousins ​​from leaving. Besides, , my little aunt and several cousins ​​married in Chang'an, and our family still has flesh and blood in Beijing."

Li Lijun thought to himself, could it be that Xuanzong is now a puppet who only knows how to act according to the content recorded in Tang history, and Lin Guogong's mansion actually did not exist in history, but an upstart of the Wuxun Group that was born by accident. Out of line, whether Xuanzong or Yang Guozhong, would subconsciously ignore them?

This probably also explains why Lin Guogong's mansion was immediately marginalized by the entire court once it lost the backing of Wang Zhongsi who had been friends with it?In fact, even if Lin Guogong is powerful enough to change history, it is useless. A fire from the sky can reverse the trend of the entire Tianbao war. How can he, a mere mortal, compete with that mighty power?In this way, it is not a bad thing that the Lin family is all concentrated in Lingnan.The defeat of the Tianbao War cannot be changed, but at least the Lin family can decide which family member participates in it, and some people's lives can be saved no matter what.Moreover, the Anshi Rebellion has only been going on for a few years, and the Lin family's female family members may be ignored on the way to flee in Chang'an, but going to Lingnan can guarantee personal safety.

Thinking of this, Li Lijun said to Lin Jiulang: "In this case, I wish you a safe journey. Swords and guns have no eyes on the battlefield, so you have to be more careful."

Lin Jiulang was stunned: "You know...we're going to fight after we go to Lingnan?"

Li Lijun smiled: "Of course there is going to be a war. Isn't Yang Guozhong going to send troops to fight Nanzhao? He can use any means to recruit troops. You can leave Chang'an, at least you don't have to be at his mercy. After arriving in Lingnan, Lin Guogong is also a half-life veteran of the army. Can you still not know how to arrange you? I hope that your journey to Pengcheng will be smooth sailing, and you can return safely after the war is over."

She bowed to him again, then calmly passed him and walked into her yard.

Lin Jiulang quickly caught up with two steps and responded: "Thank you for your good words, I will take care of myself!" Seeing Li Lijun waving his hands without looking back, he seemed very free and easy, but he also didn't take himself seriously It means that he feels even more uncomfortable.

However, no matter what he thought in his heart, the facts were here, and he couldn't change anything at all.Although Li Lijun has become a women's crown, he can still meet and socialize with him, but this is not what he wants.However, he was about to leave the capital soon. Following his grandfather's order, he started his life as a military general earning military exploits on the battlefield and contributing to the glory of his family. It was impossible for him to stay in Chang'an to do anything.This is the responsibility he must bear.

In life, there are always many things that have to be done.It cannot be avoided, nor should it be avoided.

Lin Jiulang sighed, and suddenly felt that it was a good thing for Li Lijun to become a monk.Perhaps being a monk would make her life happier and easier?Let this little lady, who has experienced grief and suffering since childhood, live a more relaxed life in the future.

Lin Jiulang reluctantly took another look at Li Lijun's disappearing back, turned around and walked towards the yard where my sister-in-law currently lives.

When he walked into Lin's room, Lin Jiulang saw that Lin was reading a letter with his head down, and sat down quietly beside him without disturbing him.

Mrs. Lin Guogong raised her head and glanced at him: "Have you said goodbye to Mrs. Suqing? After you go, I don't know how many years it will take you to return to Chang'an. Saying goodbye to the friends you have known since childhood is also due."

Lin Jiulang heard what his grandmother meant, and smiled wryly: "Yes, I said goodbye. Si Niangzi wished us a smooth trip to the south, and told me to be more careful on the battlefield."

Mrs. Lin Guogong smiled: "Miss Suqing has a heart. In this case, you must remember her instructions, but don't go to the battlefield and ruin your life carelessly and carelessly."

Lin Jiulang lowered his head and saw Lin sighing and putting down the letter, and quickly changed the subject: "What's wrong with little aunt? Whose letter is this?"

"My mother-in-law wrote it to me." Lin sighed, "Li Niang just sent someone to deliver it. I didn't expect that she would go back to Sui Palace today."

Li Lijun not only went back to the Sui Palace alone today, which frightened Princess Dou, but also brought her the news she had recently received from Gao Lishi.

In fact, she went out alone in the past few days. Although she deliberately acted on the way and did not attract anyone's attention, she would still visit the person she wanted to meet as usual.She met little Gao Lishi, Princess Yuzhen and Princess Wan'an, and by the way, she quietly went to Yang Guozhong's mansion and the three Yang's wives' mansions, and then counted all the information she got to Xiao Gao. On the head of Lishi, report to Princess Dou to know.Even if Concubine Dou was surprised by the amount of information, she would be concerned about the little Gao Lishi who was serving in front of the imperial court, and it was a bit taboo for the clan to make friends with him, so she didn't go into it.When Concubine Dou wrote a letter to her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Lin, the Sui Palace tried to inquire about the news again, and it was completely whitewashed.

Lin's mood is much more relaxed now.She was quite pleasantly surprised. It turns out that the Sui Palace has a wide network of contacts and is quite capable in inquiring about news.
