Nearly half of May has passed. After a heavy rain a few days ago, it has entered into a long sunny day. On the green grass on the mountains are groups of goats. At sunrise, they are released from the sheds and allowed to roam freely. They eat grass on the ground and rush back to the circle in the evening.

On Lancang Mountain in the distance, the silhouette of an eagle hunting was hovering. After catching a careless hare or mouse, it soared high into the sky and soared.

Unexpectedly, one morning, the Li family had just gotten up and were diligently repeating their daily routine, while Ji Qingyue was still sleeping soundly. Suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door outside the hospital, followed by two strange yet familiar voices.

“Open the door—we’re back!”

It's Dad Li and Li Changji who are back! !

Faced with their sudden return, the Li family was boiling.

Li Silang was still getting dressed on the kang. When he heard the news that his father and eldest brother were back, he immediately jumped off his bare feet and ran out screaming: "My father is back!! My eldest brother is back!!"

A-niang Li was washing clothes in the yard. She didn't take it seriously when she heard the knock on the door. When she heard that her husband and son were outside the door, she rushed over and opened the door with joy. Standing outside the door was none other than the dusty Li A-niang. Dad and Li Changji, their faces were tired but their eyes were bright.

None of them looked injured.

God bless...ahem...bless, bless!

Father Li and Brother Li were greeted by happy faces. A group of people stood at the entrance of the courtyard, greeting each other before anyone came in.

The family is always at home looking forward to their return.

Xu Qing hugged Tuan Lang, who was still confused, with tears in her eyes, and looked at Li Changji outside the courtyard gate in surprise. Li Changji silently reached out to take his son, and gently stroked his wife's hand, with tenderness in his eyes. .

Li Aniang had just taken over her husband's baggage. Before she could make room for the two of them to come in, she saw that there was another... distinguished guest behind her husband and son.

The distinguished guest was wearing brocade clothes and soap boots, leading a tall maroon war horse. He seemed not to care about the reunion between his family members. He was facing the courtyard gate with his back to the fields beside the dirt road.

Just by the horse he was holding, they could tell that the person was of high status and was incomparable to Manager Zhang. The horse he was holding was different from the horses that Manager Zhang and the two men rode.

Li Aweng could see at a glance that this was a war horse of good quality. Not to mention the high-quality horse, it was just a war horse that ordinary people could not use casually.

As well as this man's temperament, Li Aweng was sure that he must be a general in the military camp! !

Li Changji handed the regiment man back to his wife and gave Li Erlang a look. Li Erlang understood and asked the family around him to disperse. Li Changji himself went out and saluted Yang Huang: "General, this is my subordinate's home."

Hearing the title General, no one would feel shocked. They thought to themselves, Father Li and Li Changji just went to perform military service, why did they bring a general with them when they came back? !

Li Aweng hurriedly took his family and two boys to kneel on the ground and salute. They heard Yang Huang's deep voice asking them to get up. When they raised their heads, they saw Yang Huang turning around.

Under the wind and sun, the general's face highlighted his tough attitude, and his resolute eyes were like an eagle staring at its prey in the sky, which made people feel panicked.

Li Tuanlang had woken up and was fluttering in Xu Qing's arms. He recognized Li Changji!

"Daddy! Hug!"

Li Changji picked up his son with a sheepish look on his face, but Yang Huang didn't pay much attention and led the horse into the yard with a big smile.

An ordinary yard, an ordinary family, but they accepted an extraordinary woman.

Yang Huang had already looked at Xu Qing calmly. He didn't have any dirty thoughts, he was just eager to find the answer, and there was a rare excitement in his heart.

Li Aweng brought the distinguished guest to the main room. Li Anai dug out the good tea at home and went to the kitchen with Xu Qing to boil water and make tea.

Li Erlang followed the eldest brother who was holding Tuan Lang, and together they led the war horse to the backyard. He looked at the tall war horse with affection and envy in his eyes. "Brother, are you and Dad okay in the barracks?"

"Thanks to the general's consideration, we are all fine." After adding water and grass to the manger, they returned to the main house.

It was the first time that they came into contact with such a big figure as "General", and they didn't know how to get along with each other for a while. After Li Aniang served the tea, everyone in the room fell silent, and only Yang Huang drank tea leisurely.

Dad Li hurriedly finished washing up in the bedroom, just as Li Changji and the others came back from the backyard.

The two guys had seen the world with their boss in the capital. Of course they could see that the person's identity was not just a general, but maybe a prince or noble.

The two of them stood waiting outside the house.

After learning that Yang Huang was not only a general, but also the Marquis of the Marquis House in the capital, everyone was shocked, and their shock was even greater than their joy.

Pingyao Hou, wasn't he the leading general in that battle years ago? Killed eighty-eight Huihe warriors without a single casualty.

Pingyao Hou Yang Jingyao became famous in one battle!

Why would such a prominent person suddenly come to their home? Even Uncle Li didn't know about this, and he was frightened when his eldest son told him that General Yang was going home with them.

But no matter what Yang Huang wanted to do, they couldn't refuse.

If Yang Huang didn't say anything, Li Changji naturally couldn't mention it.

In the main room, the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

With a sound of "ta", Yang Huang finished sipping the tea and gently put down the cup: "Old man of the Li family, you don't have to be formal. I'm just a guest. You can just treat me as an ordinary guest. Can you stay at home for lunch today?" good?"

Li Aweng naturally agreed, patted his wife beside him, and asked them to prepare lunch.

They were really panicked. They hadn't eaten breakfast yet and were going to prepare lunch.

Fortunately, he was stopped by Yang Huang: "Li Changji, I'm here and everyone is tense. Is there a quiet place at your house where I can sit? You have been running under the horse all night. Go down and rest. If you have something to do, have lunch." It’s never too late to eat.”

So Li Changji brought Yang Huang to the study.

Yang Huang noticed that Li Erlang of this family seemed to be staring at him, especially when he heard the word "study", his eyes fluctuated more obviously. Although there was no threat, he seemed to be worried about something.

That's all, he didn't want to care about the deeper meaning.

After Li Changji closed the study door, Yang Huang sat quietly on the chair, seemingly closing his eyes to rest.

In the main room, Uncle Li was being caught and interrogated by his wife, but he really didn't know anything and couldn't tell the reason.

When Li Changji came back, he didn't say anything: "Mom, it's useless for you to ask about the general. My dad and I have traveled all night and are very tired. I will go back to my room to rest first. I won't have breakfast with you." After speaking, Li Changji hugged his son and took his wife back to the room with him.

Li Erlang's mind was quick and he quickly turned his head several times.

He was certain that no one in their family had the slightest relationship with this Pingyao lord. Whether it was kinship or other connections, it was impossible for them to get involved with him.

But the general came anyway.

Dad seems to be unaware, but the eldest brother seems to know something inside.

What the hell is going on?

Li Erlang felt a little restless when he thought that such a keen general was in the study and Ji Qingyue was still in the painting.

What if the general discovers the key to the painting, or he comes just for the painting?

Ji Qingyue woke up and looked at where the sun was rising. It was still early, but it was not too early for the Li family. Surprisingly, it was quiet outside.

Normally at this time, Li Erlang and the others would be sweeping the yard and shouting for breakfast, but now it was quiet outside, as if no one was there.

Something is not right.

While he was still sleeping, he seemed to hear someone coming back, and Li Silang screamed happily several times.

Not understanding the situation, Ji Qingyue certainly didn't go out without permission. He honestly inspected his fields and the cotton on the hillside.

Happiness is simply written on the face, whether it is vegetables or wheat, cotton or fruits, they all exude vitality.

The most gratifying thing is that the rice in his rice experimental field is gradually maturing, and in the near future, dozens of rice ears will be harvested!

When these ears of rice mature, two kilograms of rice can be harvested.

While the weather is getting warmer and the growth rate is accelerating, quickly plant a few crops. If you do it quickly, you can harvest once every month and a half, and he will be able to eat rice after autumn!

Nowadays, the rice field is still the experimental field on the left side of the thatched house. If planting is expanded in the future, the cultivated paddy field in front of the thatched house will have to be used!

He happily fantasized about egg fried rice and various kinds of stewed rice. Life was really wonderful.

Recently, Ji Qingyue is planning to build a grain house. In the future, when crops of grain are harvested, the thatched cottage will definitely not be enough, so a new house will be built to store the dried rice and wheat.

In this case, he just did what he said, and Ji Qingyue resumed his life of playing in the mud.

After an unknown amount of time, there was finally a sound outside. Li Erlang followed Li Changji and knocked on the study door: "General, lunch is ready."

Yang Huang responded deeply inside, as if he had just been awakened by them. "Come in."

Li Changji pushed open the study door and saw Yang Huang slumped on the chair and just woke up, as casually as he wanted.

This was the first time Li Erlang saw it, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Yang Huang's careless posture was something Li Changji and the others saw most in the army. He was holding it like he did in the morning. He looked a little uncomfortable, as if the person following him was not a general.

"General, please."

After all, I was not sleeping on a bed. My neck and waist were indeed a little uncomfortable after staying in the same position on a chair for a long time.

Yang Huang rubbed his neck as he walked, and stopped when he caught a glimpse of the picture of thatched cottage and pine forest on the wall. Li Erlang felt nervous when he saw this, but he had nothing to do.

"Picture of thatched hut and pine forest? Why is there an extra wheat field?" There is an extra wheat field in the open space on the picture. There is also a strangely empty paddy field next to the wheat field, which seems to be waiting to plant something.

There is an extra piece of wheat field on the picture than before. As expected, the concept and composition of the entire picture are broken, and it looks a bit nondescript.

"The deepness of the clear stream is unfathomable, and there are only solitary clouds in the hidden place. The moon is dewed between the pines, and the clear light is still for you. A gift from the monk of Bai Qingshan."

There is a row of inscriptions on the painting, which is a poem, and under the poem is a square red seal.

Li Changji hurriedly explained the origin of the painting and made several turns before arriving at the painting hanging in his study room.

Yang Huang looked at the paintings and sneered: "This monk is good at painting and writing poems, but this painting and poetry..." He shook his head and walked out of the study with a look of regret.

Seeing Yang Huang leave the study, Li Erlang breathed a sigh of relief, while Ji Qingyue looked at his wheat field, wondering what happened to the wheat field! It’s not grown with your own wheat seeds!

In the yard, the two waiters stood holding bowls and eating by themselves, which made it more relaxed. The room seemed very depressing. Yang Huang didn't speak, and the others didn't know what to say. They were all picking up vegetables and eating in silence.

Because of Yang Huang's arrival, the meal originally prepared for Li Adi and Li Changji was even more sumptuous, comparable to the New Year's Eve dinner.

Li Changji quietly picked up vegetables for his wife, while feeding Tuanlang. Tuanlang could eat by himself, but he had been away from home for a long time, and when he came back, he always wanted to do something for his son to express his father's love.

Xu Qing smiled comfortingly at her husband, lowered her head and finished the meal quietly.

She didn't expect that her husband's boss came here to find her!

When Li Changji went back to his room to rest in the morning, he quietly told her that Yang Huang came to their house this time as if he was asking her about the military rebellion seven years ago.

Mentioning the military rebellion was Xu Qing's lifelong nightmare. She knew that the women who were captured on the mountain with her at that time were all dead when they came back. Most of them could not bear the memory of such humiliation and chose to end their lives at night. .

Of course she also thought about committing suicide. The days of holding her father's funeral were the most difficult time for her, as she suffered constant physical and mental torture.

If Li Changji hadn't come quietly to accompany her through those days, they might not be as happy as they are today.

Xu Qing really didn't understand that she would know what General Yang wanted to know. "What does he want to know?"

Li Changji mentioned Yang Huang's sister-in-law to his wife again. After hearing this, Xu Qing looked confused and seemed unable to think of anything important.

She selectively forgot about that memory. She could no longer remember many details of what happened that day, let alone how she came to be connected with the sister-in-law of a general?

"The general once said that seven years ago, his brother and sister-in-law were guarding Tupeng Pass more than a hundred miles away. Later, the city was defeated and his sister-in-law was captured by the Uighurs. During the final search, they were in Xu Her remains were found not far from her home village." Li Changji slowly explained to his wife, "The group that kidnapped the general's sister-in-law was the same group that caused the rebellion in Xujiacun that day. The general was thinking that maybe you had unintentionally I’ve seen that lady before.”

Xu Qing couldn't help but think back, but when she thought of the ugly faces of those Uighurs, she couldn't help but vomit.

Li Changji couldn't bear it, hugged his wife and told her to stop thinking about it.

"The general seems to be looking for someone, and the clue lies in that lady. He has been searching for many years and has not given up yet. I think he must be a very important person." Li Changji hugged his wife and whispered about the general. In order to prevent my wife from resisting so much: "I originally thought that this general was a young master from Chang'an, as the rumors said, but I didn't expect that everything was prejudice. During the days when he led us to train troops in Guiwei Gorge, both It’s fulfilling and enjoyable, and it really treats us like soldiers fighting a war.”

If I had known, there would usually be some people of high status who would go to the nearby military camp to borrow people to farm the land and use them without compensation.

"The general immediately punished those people with military sticks, and also defended and rectified our names. He was not the dandy he was rumored to be, he was a real general."

His wife slowly calmed down in his arms: "Well, if I can help this general, I will think about it slowly."
