The next morning, Li Qing'an didn't go anywhere. Although it was the first day of Shangyuan holiday, Li Longji would probably summon him. He got up early in the morning and read books quietly in the mansion and rested. But before dawn, the voice of Butler Luo suddenly remembered at the door, "General Li, there are several village farmers looking for you at the side door. They brought an injured person, as if they knew you."

‘The injured person.’ Li Qing'an was a little surprised. Their wounded were all in Longyou. Could it be that they were from Longyou?

He put down his book and walked quickly towards the side door. The side door was located in an alley and was relatively quiet. At this time, several vegetable farmers were looking at the door with eager eyes, and a bloody man was lying on the basket in front of them. The female guard Zhang Xiuer was checking his injuries.

“Where is the injured person?”

Li Qing'an walked out quickly, and several rural farmers rushed up and pointed at the person on the basket and said, "Mr. Li Jun, it's him. He asked us to send it back here. Let's find you."

Li Qingan was stunned, as if he was a scholar in a long robe. He walked forward slowly, and Zhang Xiu'er quickly stood up and said, "General, his legs were broken, and his tendons on both feet were broken. It's hard to believe that he survived such a serious injury."

Li Qingan recognized this person, An Lushan’s aide Yan Zhuang, and he was extremely surprised. What’s going on?

Yan Zhuang slowly opened his eyes and smiled weakly, "General Li!"

Li Qingan reacted and quickly ordered the personal soldiers behind him, "Hurry! Carry him in, be careful of his leg injury!"

At this time, Butler Luo brought a few subordinates to carry a bamboo couch, and everyone carefully carried Yan Zhuang in.

Seeing that the matter was completed, several rural farmers were relieved and left happily with the jade that Yan Zhuang gave them. Li Qing'an entered the mansion. At this time, several female guards cut Yan Zhuang's middle clothes that condensed into blood cakes, and were skillfully cleaning the wounds of his sticks. A personal soldier ran to invite a famous doctor nearby.

Yan Zhuang gritted his teeth and persevered until now. When he felt relieved, he had already fainted. Li Qingan could not know why. He called two capable personal soldiers and whispered to them: "You go to the neighborhood of An Lushan Mansion to inquire. What happened last night. Report it immediately if there is any news."

The two personal soldiers agreed and hurried away. Seeing that Yan Zhuang could not wake up for a while, Li Qingan gave a few instructions and returned to his room. An hour later, he came to see Yan Zhuang again. The doctor was already here and was chewing Yan Zhuang's pulse and prescription medicine. All the trauma treatment was done by the female guards, and even ordinary doctors were not as good as them.

At this moment, Yan Zhuang was comfortable and was sleeping soundly on the couch, and his breathing became even. The doctor smiled bitterly and said to Li Qing'an: "His pulse is stable and his life should be saved. However, his tendons have been broken. I guess he will not be able to stand up in the next half of his life. Alas! Who is the one who made such a ruthless hand?"

"General!" The voice of personal soldiers suddenly came from the door. It was the person who was inquiring about the news that he had returned.

Li Qing'an quickly walked out of the room and asked, "Have you found any news?"

"We heard from the servants at the Shoufang Gate that more than 100 people from the Yang family came to An Lushan to settle the score last night. Later, An Lushan ordered people to attack Yan Zhuang again and threw him out of the yard, and no one was allowed to interfere."

"What's the reason? Have you found out?"

"No!" The personal soldier shook his head and said, "No one dared to approach An Lushan Mansion. Only people saw Yan Zhuang being beaten from afar. He was beaten to the Yang family."

Even if he called the Yang family, how could Yan Zhuang come to find him? Li Qing'an was puzzled. Could it be that Yan Zhuang wanted to defect to him?

Before Yan Zhuang woke up, Li Qingan had no idea about it, so he had to go back to his room first. It was almost noon that he finally received news from the palace. A gatekeeper rushed to the gate and shouted from a distance: "General, someone is coming from the palace. Let you enter the palace immediately!"

Today is a weekend, but Li Longji unexpectedly summoned Li Qing'an just for an investigation report sent from Luoyang. No records about Li Qing'an's family were found. Moreover, the Ministry of Revenue could not find any records of Li Qing'an's grandfather Li Zengyun and father Li Gui in the archives of the entire Henan Prefecture. Li Longji could not wait for the day and immediately summoned Li Qing'an.

In the side hall of Xingqing Hall, Li Longji took the military record of Li Qing'an by the Ministry of War and looked over and over again. The military record was written very clearly. In the early fifth year of Tianbao, Li Qing'an joined the army at the Sulou Fortress in Anxi. Because of his skillful bow and horse skills, he was directly awarded the position of sergeant commander. Later, he was appreciated by Gao Xianzhi and promoted to the commander of the team, brigade commander, and lieutenant, step by step.

It should be said that Li Qing'an is a typical promotion of merit. Although his position is a little short, it is completely normal for the promotion of the border garrison that focuses on military merits than qualifications. Li Siye just joined the army in the early years of Tianbao.

But the question is where Li Qing'an was five years ago? How could he suddenly run to Sulou Fengshu Fortress? This is the key.

Li Longji couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Since he wanted to hand over such an important place as Beiting to Li Qing'an, he had to understand his life experience. He would never let a person of unknown origin control the power.

At this time, Gao Lishi next to him whispered: "Your Majesty, Li Qing'an is a Han Chinese. There is no doubt about this. Since he fought for the Tang Dynasty regardless of life and death, the old slave can guarantee that he is loyal to the Tang Dynasty and the Emperor."

Li Longji waved his hand and smiled, "I don't doubt his loyalty, it doesn't matter if it's Hu or Han. Didn't he say it last night? I'll save the king's affairs and win the reputation of his life and death. I know he's loyal, but I just want to know where he was in the past? Why does Luoyang have no record of his family, and I'm very curious."

At this time, the eunuch's report came from the door, "Your Majesty, Li Qing'an has arrived, waiting to see you outside the hall."

"Announce him to meet him!"

"Your Majesty has an order to announce the visit of Li Qing'an."

"Your Majesty has an order to announce the visit of Li Qing'an."

After a moment, Li Qing'an came to the side hall under the guidance of two eunuchs. This was Li Qing'an's first time entering Li Longji's bedroom. Compared with Datong Hall, it was even more magnificent. Thirty-six huge night pearls hung on the top of the hall, emitting a faint light, making the originally dim depth of the hall become quiet and bright, and it feels like a fairyland.

Li Qingan looked up and stared at the thirty-six night pearls the size of grapefruits for a long time. He was very surprised. Where did these beads go in later generations?

"General Li, please come in! Your Majesty is waiting for you." A eunuch reminded him when he saw that he was distracted.

Li Qing'an quickly gathered his mind and walked into the side hall. The side hall was actually a huge room, separated by a high curtain. This was Li Longji's living room in the harem. If there was an emergency, he would also meet the ministers here.

When Li Qing'an saw Li Longji wearing a normal uniform and sitting on the soft couch, he hurried forward to salute, "My minister Li Qing'an, see Your Majesty!"

"Haha! Our Poet Li is here."

Li Qing'an's style of dancing swords and singing in the Yuefu in Wei's Mansion last night spread throughout Chang'an City in one morning, and Li Longji had just heard of this.

"Your Majesty, I cannot bear the word "poet."

"Why, you write very well! The edge of the stone castle city is still a person in the spring boudoir dream, and it has a very artistic conception. Ordinary poets can't write it!"

Li Qingan smiled with shame and said, "Last night, I got drunk and didn't want to lose face, so I changed the poems and Yuefu I heard before, and it became my own. It was originally a pitiful bone by the Wuding River, but I changed it to a pitiful bone by the Shibao City. It was originally a pitiful thing in the world, but it was changed to a king and a king. I am ashamed. Please forgive me for your crime."

"very good!"

Li Longji smiled slightly and said, "You are very honest. This makes me like more than you know how to write poems. And you have made a good move. But the king's world is more meaningful than the world's things in your heart. In fact, I also feel a little strange. Your last sentence is, it's a waste of wit. This should be the tone of the old general. I guessed that it might not have written it, but it is up to you who say it to me that I feel relieved."

Speaking of this, Li Longji asked curiously again: "But both this poem and Yuefu are well written. I have never heard of it before. Where did you hear it?"

"Report to Your Majesty, this was what I heard my grandfather read when I was young. As for whom I wrote it, I don't know."

Li Longji's face became solemn, and he asked slowly: "General Li, aren't you from Luoyang? Why did you run to Shattered Leaf again?"

Li Qing'an hurriedly bowed and said, "My ancestral home is Luoyang. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, my great-great-grandfather moved my family to Saiye, where he reproduced his descendants for a hundred years. My ancestors were in the Tang Dynasty and missed his hometown all the time. When I was a child, I came to Luoyang with my grandfather for a few years. Later, I went to Dashi, Persia and other countries to travel. Three years ago, my grandfather died of illness in Saiye. When I was dying, I told me to let Saiye return to the Tang Dynasty no matter what. I followed my grandfather's will and came to Anxi to join the army."

Li Longji played with a paperweight, pondered for a moment and asked, "Have you been to Dashi and Persia?"

"Report to your Majesty, I have not only been to Dashi, but also to the country further west."

"Tell me, what country is the west of Dashi?"

Li Qing'an smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the west of Dashi is a huge inland sea, called the Mediterranean. To the north of Dashi is another powerful empire, called the Byzantine Empire, and it is the old enemy of Dashi, that is, the Great Qin Kingdom. It stretches thousands of miles south of the Mediterranean and is still the territory of Dashi, but to the north of the Mediterranean are countless small countries, such as the Frank Kingdom, the Kingdom of Italy, and the Mark of Spain. I have only heard of it and have never been there."

"General Li said so much that I wanted to go and see it."

Li Longji finally smiled on his face. He could hear that Li Qingan did not lie, which made him feel relieved. On the contrary, if Li Qingan insisted that he was from Luoyang, he would be furious.

"It turns out that General Li is a shattered Yehan. No wonder he joined the army at Sulou Fengjun. In fact, even if you are a Hu person, I won't care too much. Gao Xianzhi is a Goguryeo, An Lushan is a Sogdian from Lingxi, Geshuhan is a Tuqi Shi, and An Sishun is a Turkic man. I don't care. As long as I am loyal to the Tang Dynasty and loyal to me, I will use Hu Han equally. But what I care about is whether you are honest and have deceived me? I might as well tell you the truth. If you still insist that you are from Luoyang, I will dismiss you on the spot and punish you for the crime of deceiving the king. But you performed very well. Not only did you admit frankly that the poem was not written by you, but you also admitted that you are a shattered Yehan. It's great. In order to commend your honesty and openness, I will give you a special gift."

He turned around and said to Gao Lishi: "I agree with your plan, so let Bian Lingcheng serve as the Beiting Supervisor."

He smiled at Li Qing'an again and said, "If you perform well and satisfy me, maybe I will also waive your military supervisor."

Li Qing'an suddenly felt relieved. This level was finally passed, but to prevent it, he had to find a way to make the Sailed Leaf perfect.

Li Qing'an quickly gave a deep salute, "I thank Your Majesty for your trust, I will never let Your Majesty down."

At this moment, the eunuch's report came from the door, "Your Majesty, the Empress and the Third Lady are here."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of the ringing pendants sounded. Yang Yuhuan and Yang Huahua walked into the side hall like a gust of wind, and a strange fragrance came to his face.

"Sanlang, I have something to discuss with you."

Yang Yuhuan suddenly saw Li Qing'an, and she stopped quickly and smiled embarrassedly, "Sanlang, I don't know you are receiving a foreign minister."

Yang Huahua secretly handed a Qiubo to Li Qing'an, but Li Qing'an pretended not to see it. Yang Huahua couldn't help but bit her teeth and cursed in her heart: "This conscienceless guy."

Li Longji waved his hand and smiled, "It's okay, General Li is actually not an outsider. He is his wife's pot throwing master. Didn't she serve as a matchmaker for him yesterday?"

Yang Yuhuan glanced at Li Qing'an, smiled and said, "Don't mention being a matchmaker anymore. Last night, General Qing'an drew his sword for Mingyue. Who doesn't know about Chang'an now? Sanlang, when will you draw your sword for me?"

"Haha! I'm tonight"

Li Longji almost made a mistake. He quickly coughed and laughed, "By the way, what's the matter with me?"

Yang Yuhuan pulled Yang Huahua and said enthusiastically: "My third sister is determined to advise me to go to Zhuque Street to watch the lanterns tonight. I also want to reminisce about the Lantern Festival when I was young."

She begged, "Sanlang, just promise me! Let me go, okay?"

Gao Lishi on the side quickly stopped him: "As a concubine, the head of the six palaces, how can the Empress watch the lanterns with the common people? It is worse than an old slave to let someone set more lanterns in the palace, which is as beautiful as the old slave."

"That's so boring!"

Yang Huahua curled her mouth and instigated her: "Looking at the lanterns is just looking at people. Looking at the lanterns, the picture is the lively atmosphere. The palace is deserted and quiet. How can it be compared with outside? My good brother-in-law, just promise the fourth sister!"

Yang Huahua said, "My good brother-in-law", and her voice was sweet and coquettish. Li Longji felt a trembling heart. He smiled and said, "Okay! I will enjoy the lanterns in a slight manner tonight and have fun with the people."

"How can your Majesty?"

Before Gao Lishi finished speaking, Li Longji waved his hand and interrupted him decisively: "I don't do this often, so it's okay to do it by chance. Since my wife has this wish, of course I have to satisfy it."

Yang Yuhuan was so happy that she slapped her hands. Gao Lishi had to shake his head and sigh. The emperor was getting rid of the ridiculousness and he actually wanted to watch the lamp in a slight. Alas! He was having fun, but it was his headache!

At this time, Li Longji smiled at Li Qing'an and said, "It's better for General Qing'an to go watch the lanterns with us!"

Li Qing'an quickly apologized: "Your Majesty, I want to invite someone else to watch the lantern tonight."

"Sanlang is really confused."

Yang Yuhuan blinked and smiled charmingly: "General Qing'an drew his sword last night. Of course, he has to pursue him tonight. Sanlang also wants to ruin his good things."

Li Longji suddenly realized, he patted his forehead and laughed, "You are right, I am confused."

Yang Huahua next to her snorted a little unhappy and said in a long voice: "General Li, last time you won the arrow in my mansion, I kindly gave you a black bow as a reward. I heard that you ruined it?"

Li Qingan knew that Yang Huahua was taking advantage of the problem. This famous Lady Guo Guo in history had a little feeling about her at the beginning, but as he slowly understood, he realized that this woman was too possessive. She would definitely try to take whatever she liked, even men. Li Qingan also heard about her romantic affairs. Of course, she liked who she was her freedom, but he did not like this kind of woman.

Li Qingan clasped his fists and said apologetically: "Madam, I'm so sorry, it's hard to save the chaos. Not only was the bow destroyed, but my sword was also lost in the melee."

"Sister Three, don't be so stingy! It's a miracle to survive the Battle of Chiling."

Li Longji sighed slightly and said to Li Qing'an: "I originally wanted to give you a good bow and a famous knife in the hall yesterday, but I forgot it for a moment. I will give you the summons today."
