Chapter 128: Secret Visit

At the second update, a carriage and dozens of horses quietly left the Weiyuan Hou Mansion from the side door. There were two guards on the front, four, six, and two left and right guards hurriedly leaving Juxiang Street and heading towards Hanlin Street west of the imperial city.

Naturally, Li Qing took Qingfeng to the former Dingzhou Censor Lin Haitao to recognize his relatives. Since Lin Haitao had claimed in Dingzhou that his two daughters had both died, Li Qing could only come to the door secretly to avoid causing some unnecessary trouble. Lin Haitao was fine. When he was in Dingzhou, his attitude had already shown that he still cared about his two daughters. Li Qing was worried about Lin Haitao's father, the powerful Confucian scholar, master of Neo-Confucianism, and a master of academic circles in the Great Chu, Lin Zhengyin.

Li Qing loved Qingfeng deeply. He originally had no concern about whether Qingfeng was a noble lady or an ordinary family. He just wanted to marry him. However, after he was integrated into this era, he had to compromise with the customs of this era. If he wanted to give Qingfeng the title of a wife, Qingfeng must have a matching identity with him. Otherwise, not only in the family, but also in his loyal subordinates, such as Shang Haibo, would have strongly opposed it. Li Qing did not want to aggrieved Qingfeng, so he could only swallow his anger and come to ask Lin Zhengyin.

The breeze covered the white gauze, only a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes were exposed, and he looked at Li Qing beside him waterily, "I'm sorry, General." She said softly.

Li Qing smiled and patted her on the cheek, "What's wrong with doing things for her beloved woman? Don't worry, Qingfeng, Mr. Lin, ah, no, no, if your grandfather doesn't recognize him, I will put the knife on his neck and force him to recognize you and take you home. Next, I can come to the door to propose marriage openly."

Qingfeng lowered her head, felt sweet in her heart, but her face showed a sad look. Things were not that simple. She, who was good at the Lin family, naturally knew the rules and regulations of the Lin family and her grandfather's temper. If her grandfather was a person who could submit by force, she would not be the famous Lin Zhengyin of the Great Chu.

As if Qingfeng was seeing Qingfeng's concern, Li Qing reached out and took the beauty into her arms, and whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, I have everything!"

"Yeah!" Qingfeng responded softly, snuggled herself into the man's broad chest, closed her eyes slightly, and listened to his powerful heartbeat. At this moment, she felt safe and happy.

The ruts of the carriage were moving forward on the Bluestone Street, and the horse's hooves hit the stone slabs made a crisp sound, which seemed particularly crisp in the quiet night. It was silent all the way.

"Master, we are here!" Yang Yidao leaned over in front of the car window and whispered. Qingfeng's body suddenly shook in the carriage. Li Qing clearly felt the trembling of the woman in his arms. He hugged her hand tightened slightly, and said, "Go and report, and then tell me that Li Qing, an old friend of Dingzhou, is visiting Lord Lin Haitao."

Yang Yidao jumped off the horse and made a gesture. Tang Hu and others immediately spread around the carriage and surrounded the carriage. Yang Yidao walked to the front of the door and gently knocked on the copper ring, "Who?" An old voice came from inside, and then a gap was opened in the door. A white-haired old man poked his head out and looked at Yang Yidao vigilantly, "Who are you looking for?"

Yang Yidao smiled and said, "Please inform Lord Lin Haitao, and say that his old friend Li Qing and Li of Dingzhou are visiting."

"General Li, is General Li of Dingzhou who defeated the Imperial Guards in the Imperial City School?" Old Cangtou said in surprise.

"Of course, is there a second one?" Yang Yidao smiled.

"Okay, OK, please wait for the distinguished guest, I'll go now." Old Cangtou agreed quickly and left quickly.

In the car, Qingfeng was already in tears, "It's the old Lintou who is guarding the door." She whispered.

Li Qing knew very well that she was worried about gains and losses at this time. She had been away from home for several years and suffered many hardships. She suddenly heard familiar voices, which was indeed touching. She wiped the tears from her cheeks with pity, "Okay, I'm crying now. Wouldn't it be even more sad to see her parents and relatives later? You should be happy today!"

After his body twitched slightly, Qingfeng barely smiled, "Yes, you should be happy, but I don't know if they still recognize my daughter?"

"Of course I will recognize it." Li Qing smiled and said, "Who is Qingfeng? He is a big figure in my Dingzhou army. He is a person who stomps his feet and trembles all over Dingzhou. Think about Wang Qinian and others who see you are like mice seeing cats. You should have this confidence."

When Qing heard Li Qing's joke, Qingfeng burst into tears and smiled. Yes, Qingfeng is no longer the sentimental woman who was feeling that the flowers bloomed and faded, and the swallows came, but a person who held great power and could change the whole of Dingzhou in just a few years. After several years of experience, she changed a lot. How could she think of her changes today?

"General, I am not actually called Qingfeng." Qingfeng said.

Li Qingyi smiled, "Of course I know. Since I have asked someone to find out about your family background, how could I not know your real name, right, Yun Xi? But I am used to calling you Qingfeng, and I am too lazy to change it."

Qingfeng smiled, yes, since the general told him that he knew about his affairs that day, he should have thought of this. He is really a mystery to the authorities.

There was a burst of footsteps outside the car, and Lin Haitao walked out nervously. In Dingzhou, because of official exchanges, one of his family occasionally saw his daughter Yun Xi in Chong County, and then found out that she was actually named Qingfeng, working for Li Qing, and holding great power under Li Qing's hands. The shock in his heart was speechless. The man's gang attacked and both of his daughters disappeared. Later, although the body of the guard was found, the news of the two daughters was lost. Just as they had died, they could see it there in Li Qing, and they wondered why their daughter was

After escaped from danger, he refused to go home. After inquiring from many sources, he finally learned that a pair of daughters was actually snatched back from the barbarians. The beautiful daughter fell into the hands of the barbarians. The consequence was obvious. He finally understood his daughter's difficulties. He also knew that his daughter would never come back. As the son of the Neo-Confucian master, he certainly knew his father's attitude. Death was a small matter, and his loss of integrity was a big deal. His daughter lost her innocence. In his father's opinion, it would be better to die. He heard that Qingfeng is now the forbidden body of the general of Dingzhou, which even worsened his daughter's concern for going home.

He believed that Li Qing must have known Qingfeng's life experience. It would be easy to find out with his means, not to mention that he gave him such obvious clues in Dingzhou at that time.

What happened to Li Qing coming to the door today? Lin Haitao couldn't understand the key points.

When Lin Haitao appeared in front of the door, Li Qing had already got off the carriage with Qingfeng in his arms. Seeing the woman covered with white gauze beside Li Qing, Lin Haitao was struck by lightning, and he was all alone. Who is this his daughter Yun Xi?

Lin Haitao's face turned pale in an instant, his lips trembled. It took a lot of effort to suppress his thoughts of going up and hugging his daughter and crying bitterly. When he was in Dingzhou, although he later knew the whereabouts of the two sisters, he did not dare to recognize each other. He had claimed that his daughter had died, buried them, and erected a tombstone. If his daughter emerged again at this time, it would be a major blow to the Lin family style and a major harm to his future.

Qingfeng was also tearful. She wished her father could come up and called her daughter! The two looked at each other for a while, and Lin Haitao finally suppressed her emotions and bowed to Li Qingyi: "General Li is here, and the guest of honor is bright, please, please come in! Old Lintou, go and report to the master, and then say that General Li of Dingzhou is coming to visit."

After sending the group to the living room and exchanging a few greetings, Lin Haitao had nothing to say, but he just squeezed his hands nervously, and his eyes turned around on Li Qing and Yun Xi behind him. Today, Li Qing brought Yun Xi, and chose to be in a quiet night, his intentions were self-evident. The breeze covered with white gauze kept looking at Lin Haitao intently.

A cough came from behind the hall, and an old man walked out in square steps. Lin Haitao stood up respectfully, "Father, I've disturbed you to rest, but General Li is a distinguished guest, so it's rare to come to the door!"

Li Qing looked at the famous master of the Great Chu, Lin Zhengyin, a master of Neo-Confucianism, and could not see a smile on his square face. Although his eyes were covered with big bags of eyes, they were still bright and bright. When he saw the breeze behind Li Qing, his eyes twitched slightly, and there was no other change. This made Li Qing secretly call himself a surprise. Generally speaking, this era is mostly relatives, and the relationship between grandparents is much better than that between father and son. However, when Mr. Lin saw that his deceased granddaughter suddenly appeared in front of him, his face was still unchanged. Li Qing thought that he was definitely not as good as that of self-cultivation. Li Qing didn't believe that the breeze was covered with a veil, and the other party couldn't recognize him.

"General Li!" Lin Zhengyin bowed to Li Qingyi, "General Li is a hero of the country. It is my honor to be able to come to my Lin Mansion. Please sit down, please sit down."

Li Qing did not dare to be negligent about him, and clasped his fists and said, "I went to Li Qing after learning and met Master Lin."

Lin Zhengyinmu said expressionlessly: "General Li is a military general, I am a civil official. The four words "Lao Xue Lun" are not matched by the words "General Li is humble."

Lin Haitao, who was on the other side, continued: "Father, General Li's poems and calligraphy were awesome to the famous prostitute Gou Yan in Dingzhou, which is very different from ordinary warriors."

Lin Zhengyin snorted, "How can you enter the elegant hall of this poem by Xu Yan? Haitao, it seems that you often go to the fireworks place in Dingzhou. Where did you put my teachings?"

Such disrespect for the face immediately made Li Qing and Lin Haitao embarrassed. Lin Haitao looked at Li Qing apologetically. Li Qing had a fever on his face, but he had more thoughts than Lin Haitao. Judging from the attitude of this old guy, the situation was not good! Not to mention the difference between civil and military affairs, he should not do this alone, but he was his granddaughter's savior. Such a refusal to keep people from thousands of miles away can only explain one thing. He looked back at Qingfeng with concern. Sure enough, Qingfeng lowered his head, and his tears fell down like a broken bead, and his body trembled slightly. He used great perseverance to restrain himself from crying.

Li Qing decided to test it out. He couldn't just tear his face, as everyone's face was not good-looking.

"I heard that the old man had two granddaughters missing in Dingzhou, so Li Qing was going to return to Dingzhou, and maybe he could work effectively."

"I dare not help the general. My two granddaughters have passed away. My soul is so misty that I don't know where to drift away." Lin Zhengyin replied, Lin Haitao's face twisted and he lowered his head.

"The old man has never seen the body of his granddaughter. Maybe it's spreading rumors, and maybe it's still alive?" Li Qing smiled, "How can you draw conclusions if you don't see things in the world with your own eyes? Blood is thicker than water. This kind of family affection is the most cherished thing in the world. The old man asserted so that if the granddaughter is still alive, wouldn't it be like crying when he heard it?"

Lin Zhengyin snorted: "Unfortunately, the two granddaughters were plundered by the barbarians. Then he might still live in the world. Yun Xi and Yun Rong have been familiar with the legend of the Liewoman since childhood. Don't you know that death is small and loss of integrity is big, so how can you survive in the world? Is General here today to humiliate Lin?"

Li Qing was furious and stood up suddenly, and was about to curse. Lin Zhengyin refused all possibilities in one whisper. Hearing the inaudible cry behind him, his heart softened again, "Old Master, that's not what he said. A weak woman is in trouble. It's because we are not well protected. As men cannot protect women, they are so plundered by the enemy. How can we blame the woman? Li has seen many such people in Dingzhou. His feelings are pitiful and his miserable situation makes people cry. Even if we can't make them live a better life, we should not put down the wrong person and force others to die? If this is true, how many women can I still be left in Dingzhou?"

Lin Zhengyin snorted, turned his head and ignored him, obviously disdaining to debate with Li Qing.

Li Qing held back his temper and thought that he was here to ask for help today, and said, "I have met two people in Dingzhou. I heard that the granddaughter of the elder is very similar, so I took him by my side. Will the elder not meet?"

Lin Zhengyin slapped the table and shouted loudly: "General Li, I will tell you again that my two granddaughters are dead and have been buried in peace. No matter how much you say, it is not only insulting my Lin family, but also insulting my two granddaughters who died. My Lin family only has a daughter of death, so how can there be a living person?"

Li Qing was furious and blurted out: "You fart! They are obviously not dead. Qingfeng, come here."

He reached out and pulled Qingfeng, pulled away the white veil covering her face, pointed at her and said, "Old Lin, look, is she your granddaughter?"

Lin Haitao was already in tears, but Lin Zhengyin raised his head disdainfully, "General Li, people who look like the world don't know Fanfan. What's the point of forcing me to recognize my granddaughter?"

Li Qing's breath was in trouble in his heart, and he almost wanted to draw his sword and slash over. This old guy really wanted to be famous but not life!

Qingfeng sobbed and broke free from Li Qing's hand, knelt on the ground, knocked three times to Lin Zhengyin in the hall, got up and covered his face and rushed out. Li Qing sneered a few times: "What a Confucian master, a scholar-in-law leader, ruthless and unscrupulous, so he really called you a gentle beast. Today, Li Qing learned about it." He walked out with Qingfeng.

"Dad!" Lin Haitao knelt down with a loud voice, touching the ground with his head. After the hall, two women rushed out, one of the slightly older ones grabbed Lin Zhengyin and screamed: "Master, that's Yun Xi!" The other young one knelt beside Lin Haitao, and shed tears: "Brother-in-law!"
