Chapter 158 Yuan Qingyi

"In August, Boring Gold Gate went south again and massacred Lixia County. The people of the county were either wiped out with their doors closed or their clans were overthrown and mourned. The city was full of corpses and no one could be buried. There was no one on the roads. The surrounding area was stinky and filthy, and thousands of families were left behind. Kill him in the city."

Li Jingtian finished writing, and in a few strokes he had written down all the tragedies of thousands of families. He dipped his pen in the ink, and then continued to write:

"Gong Zifeng's wife was all killed. He was so angry that his eyes were about to burst. He rode the wind to the east. He saw people from Boring Kinmen in the distance and shot them dead."

"aunt!"

Li Xuanling's two sons and daughters came into the yard laughing and joking. Li Qinghong was the eldest sister. The girl grew up quickly. Now she has reached Li Jingtian's waist. She tied up her long hair and had a lively temper. She burst into the yard with a smile.

The second son, Li Yuanyun, was much quieter. He followed his sister carefully and saluted respectfully when he saw Li Jingtian. However, Li Qinghong had already sat at the table and stared at her clothes.

The two children were just six or seven years old and were not old enough to go down the mountain. They often went to Li Jingtian's place to chat with this aunt and ask for some snacks. Last year, Li Yuanjiao found out that he was born in Huailingqiao and went up the mountain. The two children came down the mountain. I wandered around the school, calling Brother Yuanjiao from time to time, and when I was tired from playing, I went to Li Jingtian's place.

Li Jingtian put down his pen, covered the unfinished book on the table, and hugged Li Qinghong with a smile. Then there were footsteps and a soft voice in front of the door.

"Yuan Jiao pays homage to my aunt."

But a boy in black walked in in front of the door, with long hair tied up and a sword tied around his waist. His eyes were bright and lively. He looked at Li Jingtian. Li Yuanjiao went up the mountain and remembered his mother Mu Yalu's instructions to visit Li Jingtian from time to time. , get some books from her to read.

"Come and sit."

Li Jingtian responded with a smile. Seeing that the three children were quite harmonious, he immediately felt at ease and said to Li Yuanjiao:

"Where's your father?"

Speaking of Li Xuanxuan, Li Yuanjiao lowered his eyes and replied somewhat dullly:

"If he is not dealing with affairs at the foot of the mountain, or practicing in seclusion, he will only go to these two places. Where else can he go?"

Li Jingtian was stunned, quickly rubbed his head and replied:

"Your father is in charge of such a large family, so it is naturally difficult for him to always take care of your mother and son... Don't be angry with him."

"Jiao'er doesn't dare."

Li Yuanjiao nodded quickly and kept silent, but secretly said in his heart:

"My mother said so! My aunt said so too! It's not like I can't see... Why is Brother Xiu able to take care of everything every day, but he can't take care of my mother and son?"

The eldest brother, Li Yuanxiu, was quiet and gentle. Li Yuanjiao had a good relationship with him, but his complaints made him feel uncomfortable. He pursed his lips and kept silent. Li Jingtian saw this and wanted to persuade him, but two people came from outside the door. There was a loud knock on the door.

Li Tongya shook his robes and stepped into the door. Behind him were Li Xuanling in leather armor and Li Xuanxuan in robes. The children in the room were immediately frightened. They stood up one after another and started talking in all directions. road:

"Second uncle!/eldest father!"

"Um."

Li Tongya responded with a smile. He had broken through the eighth level of Qi training on a whim a few months ago. It was really an unexpected joy. It made him very happy for the past two months. He saw the child's cheerful appearance again. He had always been calm and calm. His face was also beaming with joy.

"Is Xuan Feng still out of seclusion?"

"No."

Li Xuanfeng buried his wife, went to the mountains for seclusion, and stopped running out. He became much more active in cultivation than before, and has now been in seclusion for more than two years.

Li Tongya stroked his beard and was quite pleased with the child's change. As an elder in the family, he always had to take a long-term view of things.

"If he hadn't broken up a baby in the county, this lesson would be a good thing... Tell this kid to calm down and practice with peace of mind."

After looking at the reserved children, Li Tongya calculated the time and preached to Li Xuan:

"Call Yuan Xiu up the mountain...it's time. If we delay it any longer, I'm afraid the child will be delayed."

The two brothers looked at each other and naturally understood what Li Tongya was talking about. Li Xuanxuan nodded, and immediately some clan soldiers went down the mountain to call Li Yuanxiu. This child was now fourteen years old and was helping with some affairs at the foot of the mountain.

Li Tongya was holding a tea bowl and drinking slowly while staring at the children below. His eyes paused on Li Yuanjiao, who was dressed in black, and he thought to himself:

"All the children are considered smart. There is only one male named Yuanyun under Ling'er, but Xuanxuan has more children... There are four or five children born from concubines. You can choose one of them to pass on to Jing'er. It is best to be a clever child. , then it must be Yuan Jiao."

"However, this matter is important. We should first look at the child's talent and temperament."

After thinking for a while, Li Yuanxiu has quickly arrived in front of the house. The young man has pretty features and is wearing a white wild goose feather cape. He is quiet and polite, smiling gently, and holding a blue long sword in his hand. He is quite magnanimous. .

"I've met all the elders!"

Li Yuanxiu's voice was sonorous and powerful. When Li Yuanjiao and his children saw him, they all stood up and looked at him expectantly, wishing they could rush up and hug him.

Li Tongya nodded slightly, and Li Xuanxuan grinned even more. He was very satisfied with this fourth-generation eldest brother. Li Yuanxiu was excellent in terms of demeanor, appearance, workmanship, and talent. He was also loved by his brothers and sisters. Can withstand the beams.

Everyone was seated, and several children stood in the middle of the courtyard with their hands and feet tied up, hiding behind Li Yuanxiu. Li Xuanxuan glanced at the brothers and sisters beside him, and said warmly to the children below:

"It's rare for everyone to get together today. My second uncle has also left the quarantine. You children, don't be restrained and come forward."

Li Tongya glanced at the long sword on Li Yuanxiu's waist and said warmly:

"How are you practicing the Sword Art? Have you read the "Xuanshui Sword Art" thoroughly?"

"Back to my second uncle, Yuan Xiu started learning swordsmanship when he was seven years old. It has been six years now. He has memorized "Xuanshui Sword Art" in his heart and has learned the sword light."

"good."

Li Tongya nodded and replied:

"Tomorrow you go to the Meichi Mountain Cave and I teach you swordsmanship."

On the side, Li Xuanxuan was overjoyed. Everyone in Wangyue Lake knew that Li Tongya was superb in swordsmanship, so it would be great to learn his swordsmanship. Li Yuanxiu nodded repeatedly, and everyone from Yuanqing generation looked over with envy. Li Tongya looked at the children with a smile, explained:

"The same goes for you. Anyone who has mastered the sword light before the age of fifteen will come to the Meichi Mountain Cave to look for me."

After saying that, he nodded to Li Xuanxuan, stood up and went out. Li Jingtian followed him to leave. The two brothers Li Xuanling and Li Xuanxuan looked at each other. Li Xuanling said softly:

"Let's take the children to the backyard, Yuan Xiu, Yuan Jiao, Yuan Yun... As for Qing Hong..."

"Go together."

Li Xuanxuan thought for a moment, and Li Jingtian's face suddenly appeared in his mind. He recalled the confused and helpless look in his eyes when he asked her if she wanted to marry Chen Donghe. His heart tightened, and he gritted his teeth and said softly:

"Let's all go together! If Father Zhong asks, I will explain."
