Unparalleled Concubine

This sentence was not loud, and after finishing speaking, the two of them passed by.

Ye Mao took a deep breath, mounted his horse again, and walked towards Yejiazhuang.

After entering Yejiazhuang, he washed up briefly, changed his clothes, and ran to the back door of Yejiazhuang to wait. After waiting for about half an hour, he heard a soft knock on the back door. Ye Mao immediately walked over, opened the wooden door, and saw Li Xin in blue clothes standing quietly at the door.

Ye Mao bowed his hands to Li Xin and saluted.

"I have seen Uncle Master."

After Li Xin walked in, Ye Mao then asked, "Didn't Master Master leave Ningling?"

Lord Jing'an shook his head helplessly: "I went to Ningling where I was so hidden that I was targeted by the court. How could it be so easy to leave? Some of the more than 20 people with me have problems. Once they leave, they will definitely be caught by the court." People caught up with them, so they simply pretended to leave and quietly stayed in Ningling."

As he spoke, Li Xin let out a breath slowly.

"Now, only Shen Gang is with me, and it's dark under the lights. The court should be looking for me on the way to the southwest from Ningling. I'm safer in Ningling."

He looked up at Ye Mao, and asked with a half-smile, "Why did you come back to Ningling?"

Grandpa Ye smiled wryly: "Uncle master is very predictable, the emperor really does not allow me to leave Beijing, a few days ago I went to Weiyang Palace to ask for resignation, the emperor actually said that the Zhenbei army is the imperial court's Zhenbei army, not my Ye family's." The Zhenbei Army said that besides the Ye family, other people can also lead the Zhenbei Army."

Having said that, Ye Mao clenched his fists hard.

"That is to say, grandfather is gone. If grandfather is still here, he must make a big fuss in Weiyang Palace after hearing this sentence!"

"Too deceiving!"

Originally, Ye Mao had calmed down a lot in the past few days, but when he mentioned this matter, his face turned red with anger.

"Back then, my grandfather made great contributions and voluntarily handed over his military power and returned to the capital to retire. Emperor Wu personally told his grandfather that when his grandfather hit Jimen Pass, Jimen Pass would be guarded by the Ye family for generations."

He snorted angrily: "At that time, my grandfather couldn't go out of Beijing, my second and third uncles were gone, and my fourth uncle was still young. Because of this sentence, my father abandoned his pen and joined the army, and forced himself to become a general."

"Up to now, he said that the Zhenbei Army is the imperial court's Zhenbei Army, not my Ye family's Zhenbei Army!"

Ye Guogong gritted his teeth angrily.

Li Xin pulled his sleeve, pulled him to sit under the gazebo in the backyard, and then stretched out his hand to pat the big man's back.

"The most unreliable thing in this world is what the emperor said."

Li Xin laughed at himself: "The emperor sent me an iron coupon for the book of alchemy, didn't I just hide and dare not go back to Beijing?"

Ye Mao took a few deep breaths before calming down some of the anger in his heart. He looked up at Li Xin and said, "Uncle Master, the family business of the Northern Army in the Hundred Thousand Township in Jizhou was earned by my grandfather and my father spent half his life on it." After sorting it out, no matter what, I can’t just lose it in my generation.”

"Don't worry, I won't lose it."

Li Xin also sat down, and said slowly: "The Ye family has managed the Zhenbei Army for so many years, the court will not be able to get in for a while, even if the emperor is really stupid enough to send someone to take care of the Zhenbei Army, there will be no What is the result, you can take this opportunity to take a good rest in Ningling and take a look at the situation by the way."

As he said that, Li Xin looked at Ye Mao and asked, "You are in Ningling, can you command the Zhenbei Army with only letters?"

Ye Gongye nodded confidently.

"Naturally, otherwise my nephew has spent the past few years in Jizhou for nothing?"

"That's good."

Li Xin closed his eyes and meditated for a while, then looked up at the fallen leaves in the yard of Yejiazhuang, and opened his mouth slowly.

"Winter is coming soon."

"In the past few years, Yu Wenzhao should have some eyes and ears in the imperial court in the capital. The news that the emperor will not let you go north will reach their ears in a short time. This winter is the time when food is most scarce. As long as you grow up If we don’t go back to Jizhou in time, Yu Wenzhao will probably have a bad idea about Jimenguan.”

Ye Mao frowned.

"Uncle, if the Xianbei tribe attacks Jimen Pass, won't the foundation of my Ye family be completely destroyed?"

"rest assured."

Li Xin looked at Ye Mao silently.

"When the time comes, I'll teach you a way to keep most of the Zhenbei Army's strength."

Chapter 967

Ye Mao simply stayed in Ningling to guard his father's grave without having to go to Jimenguan to work. He built a shed in front of his grandfather's grave, lived in it every day, and asked his son to bring him meals every day.

As for Li Xin's return to the southwest, there was no big deal, so he simply stayed in Yejiazhuang. After all, at this time, most of the Plum Blossom Guard's people were looking for him all over the world.

It is worth mentioning that after this incident, Shen Gang strictly investigated the Anbu personnel who followed Li Xin back to Beijing this time. There were only twenty or thirty people in total, and the scope was not very large. There are spies in communication with the imperial court.

This is a terrible ratio.

The entourage that followed Li Xin from the southwest to the capital was no more than 30 to [-] people, and these were all Li Xin, or Shen Gang’s most trusted people, and [-]% of these people were bribed by the court. It can be seen that Li Xin The Anbu under Xin's subordinates has been infiltrated very badly, and there are even many problems in Southwest.

Faced with this kind of problem, naturally there is no kindness to be merciful. Li Xin didn't even see each other, so he asked Shen Gang to deal with these two people. In addition, all the people in the Anbu who have friendship with these two people will be imprisoned. Check it inside and out, and the entire Anbu will also conduct a thorough investigation.

To be honest, when Shen Gang knelt in front of Li Xin and put the results in front of him, Li Xin was somewhat angry.

This Anbu has been slowly raised by him in secret since the third year of Taikang. Although it was later handed over to Shen Gang to take care of it, when it was not formed at the beginning, it was formed by him himself, and most of the selected personnel were Buy some children from the dental shop, or adopt orphans from Shantang. Except for Shen Gang, all the people in Anbu were between 11 and 15 years old before entering Anbu.

Li Xin raised them for three or four years before they were barely useful.

Up to now, the Anbu has been established for more than ten years. During these ten years, at least three to five hundred people have grown up in the Anbu. It is not an exaggeration to say that Li Xin raised them, but even so, This hand that Li Xin hid behind his back was severely corrupted by the court.

Shen Gang half-kneeled in front of Li Xin, bowed his head and said, "Master Hou, the more than 20 people who accompanied us have all been sent back to Jincheng by his subordinates, and his subordinates will send people from Jincheng to guard Lord Hou. safety."

Jing'an Houye was expressionless, and snorted: "Most of them are children you brought up with your own hands, and the people who came to Ningling with me were also handpicked by you, and there are a full [-]% of them who eat inside and outside, you leader , really well done."

Shen Gang immediately knelt down on his knees and said in panic, "This subordinate has neglected his duty."

"After today, my subordinates will definitely investigate the traitors in the Anbu, and if there is another spy from the court, my subordinates will come to see you!"

Jing'an Houye was expressionless, and said slowly: "Tell them, there is still a way to survive for those who take the initiative to report, otherwise I can buy them from the tooth shop, or I can kill them."

Shen Gang immediately lowered his head.

"My subordinate understands."

"You go."

Li Xin closed his eyes, and said slowly: "Keep an eye on the capital, if there is any important matter in the court, send it to me immediately."

"Yes."

After Shen Gang said this, he slowly exited Li Xin's room.

After the big man walked away, Li Xin also got up and left the room, combed his hair briefly, changed into a commoner clothes, took a jug of wine, and walked towards the Ye family's ancestral grave.
