I didn’t plan to make it to the rankings, but when I woke up this morning, I was so touched that I reached the fourth place. The book friends are really awesome. Well, everything else is just floating clouds. The book friends are so awesome, it’s only natural for the gunners to update. The land needs to be strong, at least three chapters today, but tickets are still required.hehe!
-----------------

I am alive, so naturally I have the responsibility to protect the people I should protect. If I am dead, then no matter how important things are, what does it have to do with me?Li Muzhi chewed these few words of Li Qing that shocked him in his heart, looking at this son who had always seemed a little strange, he really couldn't figure out his true thoughts.It seems that I still don't know much about him. In his image all the time, Li Qing is that young boy hiding in a corner, secretly looking at him with strange and fearful eyes.But the person in front of him was a general who was astounded and determined to kill and attack. The huge difference between the two made Li Muzhi feel in a trance for a while, and he didn't know if it was in a dream or he had an illusion.

Trying to calm himself down, Li Muzhi said: "Okay, go and see your mother, she has missed you so much these years, and you are really hard-hearted. After going there for five years, there is no news, not even a letter." The safety letter was not brought back, if it wasn't for Xiao Yuanshan's memorial last time, we would still be in the dark."

Li Qing sneered in his heart, he ran away from home back then, if Wei Yuanhou wanted to find himself, relying on Li's powerful strength and the shadows all over the world, would he not be able to find him?I'm afraid I didn't look for it at all?Besides, when I am in the army, I have to be careful to conceal my background, otherwise, once I let Mrs. Qiu know my whereabouts, it will be too easy to plot against me. I only need to buy one or two desperadoes, and I can make myself innocent The place disappeared in Dingzhou.

Now there is no need to worry about these things with Wei Yuan Hou, he stood up, bowed and said: "Yes!"

"Come back early. Tonight, grandpa will hold a family banquet at the Duke's Mansion. All the Li clans in Beijing will be present. One is to clean up the dust for you, and the other is to let you get to know the leading figures of these clans."

"Understood father, I'll go first." Li Qing saluted, turned around and strode out of the hall, looking at Li Qing's back, Li Muzhi sighed silently, leaned back on the chair wearily, and When the son talked, not only could he not find any dignity as a father, but he felt very tired, very tired.One is that I also feel that I owe him a lot. In the past five years in Dingzhou, he must have struggled countless times on the line of life and death. If he is not careful, he will die in obscurity. Weiyuanhou himself also led troops to fight , Naturally know that a small soldier is like a straw on the battlefield.Secondly, Li Qing, who was standing in front of him now, exuded an inexplicable coercion, which was always released inadvertently, even the battle-tested himself felt that he was imposing.

It is difficult to improve the relationship between himself and him in a short period of time. The resentment accumulated over a long period of time cannot be resolved simply by the relationship between father and son. Qing slowly returned to her heart.

Walking out of the hall, Qingfeng greeted her, and her brows were full of inquiries. Li Qing nodded to her with a smile, indicating that she was fine, and turned to Li Hua: "Housekeeper Li, where does my mother live now? It's still the little girl from before. Courtyard, I'm going to visit my mother right now, and all my subordinates will trouble you to settle down."

Li Hua hurriedly said: "It is my duty to say what the young master said. However, the second mistress no longer lives in the small courtyard before, so let me lead the way for the young master. The young master has not returned for many years. At home, the changes in Hou's mansion are quite big, and it's not easy to find."

"Second Grandma? Isn't it the small courtyard before?" Li Qing glanced at Li Hua like a shuttle.

"Yes, the best!" Li Hua said with a smile on his face, "Second Mistress now occupies the entire West Courtyard of the Hou's Mansion. After expansion, the courtyard is only slightly smaller than the East Kua Courtyard of the Grandma. There are more than [-] people in the Young Master's house. It is more than enough for the subordinates to live there."

Li Qing laughed suddenly, "Guan Li, my father accepted my mother as a concubine not long ago, right? And this Xikuan courtyard, when did my mother live in it?"

The smile on Li Hua's face froze, this little Hou Ye is really aggressive, it's good to know these things, why bother to poke it out in front of so many people, isn't this slapping the Hou Ye face to face?
Ignoring Li Hua's embarrassment, Li Qing strode west. He still remembered how much his mother hoped that his father would give her a title, but when he was only 15 years old, he didn't expect it.The mother's daily sadness and depression, and the frequent sighs made him, who was already sensible, burn with anger countless times.

Now that I am developed, my mother's wish for many years can be regarded as fulfilled, but does the current mother still hope for this?Li Qing misses the small courtyard in the past. Although it was not big, it carried the laughter and distress of his childhood, and the big osmanthus tree in the small courtyard. Every August, the fragrance of osmanthus in the courtyard makes people nostalgic. It was almost August now, and the tree must have been about to bloom.

After reacting, Li Hua trotted all the way to Li Qing's side, lowered his head to lead the way for Li Qing, and didn't dare to say anything more, for fear of attracting Li Qing's merciless ridicule again.Behind him, followed closely by Qingfeng and Li Qing's three hundred guards, the group walked west across the courtyard in a mighty manner, but it was surprisingly quiet, only the crisp sound of armor and waist knives colliding.

The Hou Mansion covers an area of ​​hundreds of mu. After leaving the main building complex, it is divided into two courtyards, the East and the West. In Li Qing's image, the West Courtyard is not that big. What I saw was a different scene. It was obvious that some buildings that had just been expanded still exuded various smells. The transplanted trees, flowers and plants hadn’t slowed down yet, and all of them were sluggish. Although many fish swimming tracks and bubbles can be seen in the pond, there is nothing but clear water, and the strange rockery still smells like earth, and some places have not been covered with vegetation in time to reveal fresh water. of dirt.

Seeing Li Qing's frown, Li Hua quickly explained: "Little Marquis, time is a little tight, it's a bit rushed, and it will be done soon, very soon."

Li Qing shook his head and remained silent. Not far ahead, red bricks and green tiles loomed inside the snow-white wall, and a garden-shaped arch was facing the avenue they came from. Yin Yao saw two women in maid costumes turning around lightly , Flying in, I knew that it must be my mother who was looking forward to seeing me sooner, and sent someone to wait here, as long as I saw my party coming, I would report it.

Mother also used the maid!Li Qing thought in his heart, it was not like this back then, even when he was young, his mother did everything by himself, and he wondered if his mother could adapt to the changes now.

Stepping into the West Courtyard, Li Qing's heart suddenly became tense, and an inexplicable emotion surged into his heart. Psychologically, the woman he was about to meet had nothing to do with him, but in terms of blood and body, this woman had nothing to do with him. It was his mother. He closed his eyes, adjusted his mood, and strode forward.

There was a sound of clinking rings, and a group of people appeared in front of them, a group of girls and servants surrounded by a very luxurious middle-aged woman was rushing forward, the two groups of people saw each other at the same time, Li Qing stopped , The luxurious woman on the opposite side also stopped, and the two of them were separated by a distance of more than ten meters, just staring at each other, staring at each other.

Wen stared at the burly young man in front of him. Although he had changed a lot in the past five years, his face was exactly what he had seen in countless dreams. He was taller, stronger, and calmer, and he was no longer the same as before. The naughty boy who ran all over the yard, jumped up and down like a monkey, and made himself worry.

He is now a general of the imperial court. Seeing the officers behind him in general uniforms, they are respectful to his son, and his son is promising.

She struggled to break away from the hands supported by the girls around her, stretched out her arms, her lips trembled, but she couldn't utter a word, her eyes were blurred with tears, she opened her arms, and wanted to run to hug her son tightly, but her legs didn't move. With even the slightest amount of strength, he couldn't even move a single step.

Seeing the expression of the woman opposite, Li Qing felt a sudden pain in his heart, and suddenly remembered what his mother looked like in another time and space.Pity the loving mother's heart in the world, no matter where it is, the mother's heart is the same.He spread his legs and ran towards the woman on the opposite side. When he was still a few steps away from her, he knelt down on the ground, walked a few steps on his knees, and reached in front of Wen's body. He stretched out his hands and hugged the woman's legs. He choked up and said, "Mother, I'm back." At this moment, Li Qing finally fully integrated himself into this era, and the woman in front of him was his mother.

Wen shi shivered and slowly squatted down, hugged Li Qing's broad shoulders with open hands, pressed against Li Qing's cheek, sobbing silently, but his body shook violently.

"Mother, I'm back." Li Qing whispered in Wen's ear with tears in his eyes.

Wen stared at Li Qing's face, tears falling down like broken beads, "I'm back, my Qing'er is back, these years, you've made my mother worry to death, Qing'er, you know, if You have three pluses and two shortfalls, but how can the mother survive?"

Li Qing looked at Wen's speechlessly. His mother, who was not yet 40 years old, had prematurely grown hair at the temples, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were clearly visible. With the hands holding his face, he could clearly feel her roughness.

Holding Wen Shi's hand tightly with both hands, Li Qing helped Wen Shi up, and said in shame: "Mother, my son is convicted, and I will never dare again. I'm fine, so don't worry. From now on, you Just wait and enjoy the blessing of the child!"

A smile appeared on Wen's face, "I'm already enjoying the blessings, Qing'er, as long as you are good, I will be fine."

Turning around, Li Qing pointed to the group of people behind him and said to Wen: "Mother, these people are all the children's subordinates."

Headed by Qingfeng Yang Yidao, all the people fell to the ground at the same time, "I have seen the old lady."

Seeing the black crowd kneeling down on the ground, Wen scrambled, stepped back a few steps, and said repeatedly: "Get up, everyone get up!"
