It was spring again, and Tudo Maha River was in front of the East Gate. When the group finally arrived here, men and women looked at the blue sky, white clouds, and black soil, all of them showed relief. The man in the lead was full of beards, and he didn't know how long it had been taken care of. He was covered in dust and dust. How could he see the awesomeness of the past? But even if he described it as embarrassing, thinking of the thrilling cleaning and massacres in Chang'an City, the king of Pingyuan Li Shen could not help but shivered.

He could actually escape from the situation of dying. First, the Yi Wang and the Yi family were almost uprooted, and then the Donggong and the Dong Palace were all unlucky. It was his turn. In the past few years, those guys who thought that Li Zi was quite talented and kind at the time were all outrageously wrong. Not to mention that Li Zi himself was not a good-looking lamp, his sons were even more like wolves and tigers, treating uncles and cousins ​​like enemies, and they were all dying. If Du Youlin had not informed him and secretly escorted him, he would have lost his life alone, but he would have to implicate his brothers, wife, son and nephew.

"Brother, is this the Khitan den of the past?" Li Qi, the King of Siqing, was already exhausted. After asking, he saw that his elder brother was still absent-minded, but his eyes gradually turned red. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother, the past has passed, don't think so much. The glory and wealth that is like being imprisoned at home is not rare. Now that we have arrived here, we are no longer a noble man, just brothers."

Li Tan came back to his senses and nodded slightly. As a group of soldiers and horses came out of the city and welcomed them into the city like escorts, he couldn't help but feel nervous. According to his original intention, since Du Shiyi had promised to protect him, Du Youlin had planned his itinerary and sent someone to secretly escort him. He should go to Youzhou and join Du Shiyi, who had been operating these twenty-eight states in Hebei for several years, so they went north first, went straight to the outside military road through Shuofang, avoiding Li's pursuit after realizing that something was wrong. But it was not until a few days ago that he knew that the destination was Dubo East Gate City.

Logically speaking, if Du Shiyi wanted to harm him, he would not have had such a big trouble, but what is this sold in the gourd?

"Please go in first, the host is waiting inside."

This time, Li Shen not only brought his wife and children, Li Qi's family, Li Qi's family, but also other illegitimate brothers and nephews who were scared, so he was large and had more than a hundred people. Such a team could be broken into pieces and met in Xiazhou and then arrived here, which seemed to him a miracle. Therefore, when he heard that the owner of the Khan Palace was probably the one who only saw him, he calmed down and gave his younger brother Li Qi's instructions to his younger brother, Li Qi, and then followed the crowd and walked in.

However, when he entered a house deep along the flat corridor and the two doors were pushed open in front of him, the person he saw was very unexpected. After a moment of dazed, Li Shen shouted: "Master Du?"

"King of Pingyuan, it's been a long time since." Du Shiyi nodded slightly, and then said gently, "After five years of separation, I met again but was outside the territory of the Tang Dynasty."

Li Shen subconsciously walked forward a few quick steps, but then he realized that he had no idea what to say. Du Shiyi would not know about the blood-slaughtered royal family in Chang'an City; the difficulties and obstacles along the way, the soldiers and horses he escorted were all from Du Youlin's sect, and Du Shiyi would not know. So, what else can he say, is he really saying goodbye at this time?

Seeing that Li Shen was silent, Du Shiyi asked directly: "What are the plans of King Pingyuan in the future?"

"Plan?" Li Shen repeated these two words in a stutter, and then laughed for a moment. The laughter contained grief and anger. "The late emperor indirectly killed my father and mother, and when today's son forced us to have nowhere to stay and left our hometown in a hurry, what else could I have? I, Li Shen, are not a person with lofty ambitions. It would be enough to be able to live safely and steadily like a normal person."

Not only was he begging to borrow troops to return to Chang'an to seize the throne, but he just wanted to live like an ordinary person. Du Shiyi heard this answer and couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth. He looked at Li Shen thoughtfully and suddenly said, "Come with me, I'll take you to see two people."

Li Shen was a little confused, and then he thought that the one Du Shiyi was going to take him to see was the one Huaiyi Khan. But he followed Du Shiyi around the huge Khan Palace, and saw Du Shiyi as if he was entering and leaving his own house. Most of the people who came and saw him were not surprised and retreated and bowed. Until he approached a quiet courtyard, he found that Du Shiyi had stopped in front of the door, as if he had no intention of going in immediately. He couldn't help but feel a little surprised. When he came to Du Shiyi, he heard a faint voice from the inside.

"Calling the day, Erlang Silang and the others should be coming soon, right?"

"Mr. Lang, you have been saying this many times. I have been waiting for more than ten years, but now I am just waiting for a few more months."

"Even if it's only a few months, I feel it's like more than ten years. Once upon a time, you and your sons were by your side. I just feel it's natural, without any cherishing, a gentleman holds his grandchildren but not his son, I haven't even hugged them with my own hands... Jinniang, when I was alone in Lingnan, I think about it now, I don't know how I got there. If there was no hope to support it, I'm afraid I'd die there long ago. When I think about seeing my children and grandchildren again in this life, I can't hold back anymore.

What if I can’t stand it before they come back?”

"Don't say stupid things, they will arrive safely. All of the children and grandchildren of the husband will arrive safely."

Li Shen was already a little stupid. The man and woman who spoke seemed to have a very old voice, but he felt a familiar and intimate feeling in his heart. Not only that, the meaning revealed between the lines was simply thrilling, which made him unable to believe. He subconsciously glanced at Du Shiyi, and saw that he finally reached out and gently pushed open the faint door. He felt that his heart seemed to tremble suddenly, and he was afraid to look at the person inside.

However, the desire in his heart finally overcame the fear. His eyes soon fell on the two old men standing in the yard. They saw that their hair was more than half white, their bodies were slightly hunched, and their faces were covered with wrinkles, but he still overlapped them with the figures in his memory. This was obviously something worth ecstatic, but his whole body was struck by lightning, and his feet were hard to move half a step as if they were rooted. His lips were trembling slightly, and he could not make a sound. He could only watch Du Shiyi step into the door.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness."

Li Ying was confused and remembered that the last time he met Du Shiyi at close range was when Li Longji summoned the deposed prince at night, and the rest were all court meetings that could only meet. Since then, he was deposed and lived in Lingnan for many years. After escaping, he even went to Du Bu to avoid disaster. Although Du Shiyi has been here many times, he has no chance to meet him again. Now he meets him again at this place, and he has no idea what he is feeling, especially when Du Shiyi still calls him the old title, he even feels that this is not outside the territory of the Tang Dynasty, but in the deep palace of Chang'an.

Xue reacted faster. She supported Li Ying and tightened her hands a little, secretly reminding her husband not to lose her composure. Then she tried her best to smile calmly: "Mr. and I are just people who are under the roof, and we dare not be called such a general."

When Li Shen heard the old woman's answer, he had no doubt in his heart. Who else could there be except for his mother in his memory? However, how could the father, who was often frowning but still heroic in his memory become like this old? He finally couldn't help it anymore. After walking a few steps forward, he called out the two titles that had not been said for many years.

"Grandma, my mother"

Even after being adopted by King Qing Li Cong, he only called their father and mother. In his mind, Grandpa and Grandma are irreplaceable.

Li Ying was thinking about how to deal with Du Shiyi's unexpected visit, but suddenly heard such a name, and he immediately forgot the problem. He looked at the sound, and saw that a man with a beard and could not tell the age came forward, and knelt on the ground. He trembled violently all over. He looked up at Du Shiyi, and when he saw that his face was quiet, he finally realized something. His body shook and he almost stood unsteadily. He turned his head with difficulty and looked at his wife beside him. Seeing that Xue was also pale, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

He and Xue supported each other and struggled forward step by step. When they came to each other, he bent down, pressed the shoulders, then moved his hands, and gradually picked up the dusty face that had not yet been wiped. When his eyes met, he stared at the strange face for a long time, and then he let out a moan of joy or sorrow.

"After so many years, I didn't expect that Li Ying would even recognize my son."

Seeing that Li Ying's legs became weak, she knelt on the ground like a child, bursting with tears in her face. Before she could hold him, Xue couldn't help but stagger. But when she heard her husband's painful voice, she felt it, and trembled and stretched out her right hand, rubbing the face in front of her that she didn't recognize at all. After a while, she said softly: "Is it Erlang?"

"My grandma, it's me, Li Shen." Li Shen grabbed his mother's hand and nodded vigorously. Then he looked at Li Ying and said, "Grandma, it's me who rushed all the way. It's so sloppy that you can't recognize him. Not only I'm here, but I'm also here, but also many grandchildren you haven't seen before. If you know that you and Madam are still alive, you will definitely be crazy to be happy."

"Yes, I'm still alive. I never thought that I could still see a day when I struggled to live until now." Li Ying finally came to her senses. He suddenly smiled with tears on her face, and took Li Qian's head and let his son lean on his shoulder. Then she breathed a sigh of relief, "The fifth brother and the eighth brother are all married here. With their own son and daughter, I will help you and your mother. The only regret is that their children are thousands of miles away, but they will never be seen in their lives.

Xue wiped her tears hard, and then said with a smile: "The family is finally reunited. This is a good thing. Seeing you, father and son, isn't it a joke to let Marshal Du see it?"

While she said that, she raised her head, but found that Du Shiyi had left quietly at some point. At this time, she finally vaguely understood why she, Li Ying, Li Yao and Li Ju were able to escape from the noses of Li Longji and the government and came to this place outside the frontier. If the Khan of Huaiyi was the one who took them in, then it was only Du Shiyi who gave them the opportunity to see the light of day again.

When the family reunited again, there were naturally countless things to say, but Li Shen was still thinking about his brothers and nephews outside, and immediately accused his parents of guilt and excitedly planned to go back and tell them the good news. But this time, the waiter outside changed to a strong guard, and the other party took him to the living yard where several of them were housed, asking him to take a shower and change clothes like others, and explained that the evening banquet would be held, and then he left quietly. Until he soaked himself in the hot water in the bathtub, Li Shen gradually had the energy to think about the mystery behind today's reunion.

When Li Shen informed Li Qiu and other brothers about the news, after the excitement and surprise, some people were like him and had a complicated mood.

That night, a big banquet was set up in a welcoming hall in Khan's palace. When Li Qi and others followed Li Shen and met Li Ying and Xue, they hugged their heads and cried bitterly and became the main theme. Since there were no outsiders, after drinking the wine of the reunion, Li Shen and Li Qi and a few brothers surrounded Li Ying and Xue, asking how their parents lived over the years. When they learned that their uncles Li Yao and Li Ju had completely integrated into this life outside the border, got married and had children, and even changed their surname to Wang, one was named Wang Yao and the other was named Wang Ju, and the other was named Wang. The brothers and others were all surprised.

"I kept this surname just for a thought, but now that I have you, I am no longer dependent on your mother, so I don't have to stick to it anymore. From now on, there will be no more Li Ying in the world, only Wang Ying." Li Ying held his wife's cold hand tightly and smiled at her who was originally full of worry and said, "Jin Niang, Li Ying is a dead person. It's rare to live a stable life for more than ten years. I don't plan to fight again. Don't worry."

Seeing his father's statement, Li Shen felt that the heavy stone in his heart suddenly loosened. When he saw the other brothers, some felt relieved, some still regretful, and some were gritting their teeth and unable to calm down. He coughed gently and said without hesitation: "Since Grandpa said so, from now on, I will change my surname to the king."

Li Shen said this. When others thought of the bloody scene in Chang'an City, they mostly felt that such wealth and glory as a cage were not worth lingering. What's more, although Li Ying and Xue looked old, their clothes were exquisitely combined, and they had no worries on their faces. They lived a comfortable and comfortable life. Li Yao and Li Ju even got married and had children here. What else should they hesitate? Only Li Qiu, the King of Siqing, whispered after struggling for a while: "After all, my father has raised us for so many years. As a heir, even if I change my surname, I should still worship and inherit his incense."

"Okay." Li Ying looked at Li Qi with relief and nodded happily, "I am not here, thanks to my elder brother adopting you. It is all kindness to be kind to be kind to a man, and this is how a man should be. Silang, just follow your original intention, come and drink."

When Li Qiu saw his father pushing a big bucket directly, he smiled bitterly. When he took it, he closed his eyes and drank Yu Jing in a gulp. He saw that the young nephews in the whole house were already looking for close friends to joke and play as usual. He felt warm in his heart, and then he withdrew his eyes and asked Li Ying and Xue solemnly: "Grandma, my grandma, everything should be clear now. It was Du Dashu who quietly helped us, so that our family could be reunited. But now, Zi Wudao, what should we do in the future? Please tell me about it."

Seeing that the sons' eyes were all focused on him, Li Ying sighed and finally said word by word: "I have said that from now on, I will no longer be a member of the Li Tang clan. The emperor is unrighteous and the world is trying to challenge him, and it has nothing to do with me. Since I have met my children and grandchildren and fulfilled my greatest wish in this life, I plan to go to sea with my fifth and eighth brothers to travel east, go to Silla first, then to Japan, and take a look at the overseas scenery."

Almost subconsciously, Li Shen said: "Since Grandpa said that, we will go together."

Outside the brightly lit hall, Du Shiyi turned around quietly, looked at Luo Ying and smiled, then left with briskly. After leaving the banqueting place, they stood under the dark sky, looking up at the sky with stars, and did not make a sound for a long time. I don’t know how long it took, but Luo Ying said: “I have always admired your vision of looking at people, but this time it is the same. The word "Li" is the first, and I don’t know how many people are fascinated by it, but this family can still know how to make a decision clearly, which is really anomaly.”

"Save it. If someone is stubborn, it will be in vain and he has to kill people. What's more, every time the dynasty changes, even if all the royal families are killed, some of the remnants of the previous dynasty jump out, not more than them, not less than them." Du Shiyi smiled casually, then turned around and stood face to face with Luo Ying. "Once the situation in Chang'an City is truly out of control, it will be the day when we can see it. As soon as I leave, it may be difficult for us to have a chance to meet again in this life."

"You want to say that the king is successful, the king is defeated? If you want me, you will only succeed, not fail. Li Zi ascended the throne and fell into the quagmire of internal struggle before he could benefit the people. The direct royal family was almost wiped out by him. In this way, even if there is a rebound, it would not be possible to really threaten you. People are like water, kings are like boats, and water can carry boats and can also overturn the boats. This is the original words of Emperor Taizong. It's a pity that his descendants have long forgotten." Luo Ying said this, and smiled and bowed, "I'll wish Brother Xian to succeed here."

"I hope you will be auspicious words." Du Shiyi let out a long sigh, nodded to Luo Ying, and then walked forward with great strides, and soon disappeared into the night.

Luo Ying kept looking at the deep night as deep as water. After a long time, she turned around and left. She walked and walked, and the little novice monk in the past, although she was no longer in her prime, she had already become the king.

Maybe in the future, his descendants and Du Shiyi will not be as harmonious as they were. They may forget the friendship between their ancestors, but what does that matter? The general trend of the world is to break up and get back together, and they cannot be controlled by people's hearts.

On the Jibei Tower in Youzhou, several women were looking up at the same dazzling starry sky. Wang Rong took the child and ran away to visit his daughter Du Xianhui, and listened to her thoughtfully to see the stars like the twenty-eight constellations. Du Xianhui was a female crown for many years when she was a child, and she read many books on astronomical stargazing when she was free. She was very polite and sensible. Under the stars, Cui Wuniang was discussing the topic of the most unpopular and picturesque discussions with Princess Gu'an, which is the harvest of various prefectures and counties in Hebei this year and trade with Jiangnan. But soon, Du Xianhui came over and dragged them over.

"Look, that is the Ziwei Emperor Star, is it dull? Even if it is said by the star sign, it is also a sign of falling."

"If it is really astrological sign that the throne of the human world is changing, then there is no need to work so hard." Princess Gu'an smiled and bounced her finger on Du Xianhui's forehead, then said to Wang Rong and Cui Wuniang, "I think at this time, the surviving grandsons of King Yi should have issued proclamations in border towns of prefectures and counties. When Ah-di comes back this time, everything will almost begin."

Wang Rong and Cui Wuniang exchanged a look. Thinking that the rest of the Cui family had quietly left Chang'an, Du Xianhui also brought his children to Youzhou, but there were Du Youlin and Cui Penglang's uncle in Chang'an, and they couldn't help but feel heavy. At this time, Du Xianhui felt that the atmosphere was too heavy, so she changed the topic and said, "Why didn't Master and Sister come today? I remember that today was Master's birthday, and I made birthday noodles in the morning and sent it to you."

Du Xianhui asked Princess Yuzhen and Yu Nu, but the Jibei Tower became even more silent. After a long time, Wang Rong sighed in a low voice: "If it were me, I would be hard to resolve the knot at this moment."

In a quiet courtyard in Youzhou City, Princess Yuzhen and Master Yunu were also looking at the stars in the sky. They were dead people who had turned into a cup of loess in the eyes of the world. In the princess garden of Tailing, there was a place for Princess Yuzhen, and among the Yang family's ancestral tombs, there was also the tombstones of the Yang family's Yuhuan. When they were picked up from Yunzhou by Du Shiyi from Yunzhou, they were afraid to appear in front of others at first, but they soon discovered that there were too few people who knew them in the world. After all, this was Youzhou thousands of miles away from Chang'an.

Li Longji's death is the end of an era for outsiders. But for Princess Yuzhen, although the dead brother of her mother and her compatriots, she is no longer a relative who relied on each other in the palace in the past, but just a king. After crying, she did not drink or eat for three days, and then she no longer had meat.

She knew very well that no matter what, she and Du Shiyi could no longer return to the past. Because Du Shiyi was seeking this world, but when Princess Cui of Guangping and her son came to her and Yu Nu from afar, she learned about the chaos in the royal family in Chang'an City, she couldn't tell what she was feeling.

In order to practice Kucha music and dance, Yu Nu's body was much lighter. After learning about the death of her elder sister Yang Yuyao and her clan brother Yang Guozhong, she was also depressed. After her niece Cui and her grandson nephew Li Kui arrived, she felt at ease and finally became cheerful again. Thinking of Cui staying in the room to take care of Li Kui who was coughing, she was stunned for a moment and said, "Master, it's said that fireworks are coming to Yangzhou in March, let's take Liu Niang and Xiao Kui to Jiangnan?"

"You convince your master to say it." Princess Yuzhen sighed immediately when she saw Yu Nu, looked down at the flawless jade ring on her wrist, dazed and dazed. She knew that it was given to Du Shiyi when Yu Nu's birthday last time, and she felt confused.

If they meet their father and brother in the sun, will they be angry and blame themselves for being blind?

At this moment, she heard a sound of footsteps coming from outside. In a moment, Huo Qing came to her, holding a small box in her hand.

"Guanzhu, the man who ordered someone to send it, said that he would congratulate Guanzhu Fangchen." In Huo Qing's heart, whether it was the emperor or others, they were not as important as Princess Yuzhen. She opened the box without waiting for Princess Yuzhen to answer, but she saw that there were no precious toys inside, only two-on-one men and one women, small clay figures. One of them was the woman lying on the man's knees, and the other was the woman lying on the man's shoulders.

At that moment, Princess Yuzhen suddenly remembered the old thing that had been very old. When Wang Weiyuan was demoted to Jeju, she fell in grief and anger and cried bitterly on Du Shiyi's knees. When Princess Jinxian passed away, she also used Du Shiyi's shoulders to vent her sadness. In her life, when she showed her true feelings in front of others, she had only been like this twice except for Wang Wei's robe.

She picked up a piece of plain paper in the box with her hands, opened it and took a look. She was already crazy, and even the paper was blown away by the wind and suddenly realized that it was not aware of it.

Yu Nu silently stepped forward and leaned over to pick up the plain paper, but when she saw the poem on her head clearly, she was also confused by it.

The brocade zither has fifty strings, one string and one pillar reflects the youth.

Zhuang Sheng was confused by the butterfly in the morning dream, and Emperor Wang was entrusted with the cuckoo in the spring.

The moon is bright in the sea and the pearls have tears, and the sun is warm in the blue field and the jade produces smoke.
