Having said that, Li Xin looked around and said, "There are people staring at Yongle Fang everywhere, it's not easy to talk, I will leave the capital tomorrow morning, you walk a little slower today, I will catch up with you on horseback tomorrow .”

Ye Mao took a deep look at Li Xin.

"Uncle Master means..."

Li Xin nodded helplessly: "With today's temperament, he may go back on his word."

Ye Mao frowned: "Then there are more than 50 people in my family, it won't help."

"Don't worry, if you are two hundred miles away from the capital, people from the imperial court should not chase you."

Lord Jing'an looked up at Ye Mao, and said in a deep voice: "According to the sporadic news I got, the situation in Jizhou is very pessimistic. You may not be able to keep it if you go. Now you can rely on Yunzhou The Zhong Family Army, and the four Zhechong Mansions sent by the imperial court."

"Tomorrow, when I leave the city and leave the capital, I will carry with me the imperial decree to command the four Zhechong mansions. Of course, the imperial court will not allow me to lead the army alone. Most likely, they will send a general of the forbidden army as a deputy general to follow me."

Having said that, Li Xin glanced at Ye Mao.

"The premise is that I can successfully leave the capital two hundred miles away."

Li Xin came to Beijing alone, but with his current status, it is naturally impossible for him to do things alone. In fact, long before he entered Beijing, he had already arranged many backers. For example, Shen Gang had already brought people , Waiting on the official road going north.

As long as he can leave the capital two hundred miles away, even if the three guards in the capital catch up, Li Xin can escape calmly and will not be caught back to the capital.

This requires the cooperation of the Ye family.

Ye Lin was not present at this time, Ye Mao agreed very happily, he said in a deep voice: "Without Uncle Shi, I am still trapped in the capital and cannot move. Don't worry, Uncle Shi, I will wait for Uncle Shi on the road."

Li Xin nodded, shook his head and sighed.

"It's a pity that after this battle, the Zhenbei Army at Jimen Pass may have to replace the old ones with new ones."

Regardless of the final outcome of this battle, the outcome of the Zhenbei Army is already doomed. You must know that even at the moment, the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army are only half of the remaining soldiers. After this battle, if the Zhenbei Army is still in formation, I am afraid that new recruits will also be recruited.

Ye Mao nodded silently, and cupped his hands at Li Xin: "Master, take care."

Li Xin nodded, put his hands behind his back, and walked into Yongle Square.

Ye Mao and the others got on their horses and galloped from the entrance of Yongle Fang all the way to the east gate.

Because the north gate of the capital is in the imperial city, if you want to go north, you have to start from the east gate or west gate. The east gate is closer to Yonglefang, and you have always gone north from the east gate.

When the group arrived at the gate of the East City Gate, the sun had already fully risen and it was bright. Ye Lin, who was wearing a purple robe, had been waiting at the East City Gate for a long time. After Ye Mao saw him, he immediately got off his horse and bowed his head respectfully.

"I met my fourth uncle."

Ye Lin pulled the sleeve of his eldest nephew, and said with some emotion: "A few days ago, I was still worried about the fact that the Ye family could not go out of Beijing. Now that you have been ordered to go out of Beijing, I am still a little worried."

He looked to the north and sighed.

"Jimen Pass, I'm afraid we won't be able to guard it for long."

Lord Ningling frowned, and said slowly: "I sent you a few months ago, maybe you can stay there for a while longer, but at this time, the siege battle is almost over, and it will be of no use if you go there again." big."

"As an uncle, I only say one word."

Ye Lin patted Ye Mao's shoulder heavily, with a low voice.

"Regardless of the situation at Jimen Pass, you must be careful with your life."

"You are the main branch of the Ye family. If you die, leaving behind your two underage sons, the Chen Guogong family left by your father will be considered gone."

Chapter 997 I send the teacher off

Ye Mao left in the morning, and in the afternoon, the imperial edict to Li Xin also arrived, appointing Li Xin as General Dingbei, leading the four Zhechong prefectures that had set out earlier to rush to the battlefield in northern Xinjiang.

The imperial decree was delivered by Xiao Zheng himself to the Marquis of Jing'an, and it was clearly stated that Li Xin was ordered to leave Beijing and go north as soon as possible to rescue Jimenguan.

Li Xin knelt on the ground, and after listening to the imperial decree, he got up and patted the dirt on his knees, and reached out to take the imperial decree from Xiao Zheng's hand. After Xiao Zheng handed the imperial decree to Li Xin's hand, he said with a smile: Fu, Your Majesty told the servants to take something from you to go back."

Lord Jing'an smiled and nodded: "Naturally, I keep my word, and I will give it if I say it."

He glanced at the dozen or so red-clothed inner guards following behind Xiao Zheng, and said with a smile: "The things are in my room, Eunuch Xiao will come with me to get them?"

Xiao Zheng nodded and said, "Your Majesty is here."

"Your Majesty said that after getting the things, the Taifu can leave Beijing and go north at any time."

Li Xin walked in front with his hands behind his back, and led Xiao Zheng into the backyard of Jing'an Hou Mansion, all the way to the door of the small courtyard where he lived, Xiao Zheng stopped at the door, not daring to step in again.

"The servant is here waiting for the master."

This courtyard is not only the residence of Li Xin, but also the residence of the Ninth Princess. The eunuch is a servant of the Tian family, even if the Ninth Princess is not there, he dare not enter this courtyard.

Li Xin nodded, walked into the yard, took out a wooden box not long after, and handed it to Xiao Zheng. The jars were the size of an adult's fist. The chief eunuch took a deep breath and said, "Teacher, is this Tianlei?"

"Of course it is."

Taifu Li looked calm, and said: "The backyard of my house is also very spacious. If Mr. Xiao doesn't believe it, you can order one here and try it."

Xiao Zheng didn't refuse, he bowed his head and said: "It's not because the slaves don't believe in the Grand Tutor, it really has a lot to do with it, the slaves are offended."

He stretched out his hand to beckon, and several inner guards in red came over and helped Xiao Zheng hold the box. He personally took out a sky thunder from the box, took a deep breath, and walked to an empty space in the backyard of the Hou Mansion. On the ground, and then he was about to take out the fire folder from his bosom.

At this time, Li Xin, who was a dozen steps away from him, said with a smile, "Eunuch Xiao, if this thing explodes, you won't go back on arresting me, will you?"

Xiao Zheng stopped what he was doing, looked back at Li Xin, shook his head and said: "Teacher, what this servant brought over is the imperial decree, drafted by Shang Shutai, printed by His Majesty himself, after several prime ministers have seen the public announcement to the court, It is impossible for the imperial court to change the order overnight, you are too concerned."

As he said that, he turned around and took out the fire pocket. After blowing out the sparks, he lit the tinder paper on the clay pot, and then ran away quickly, until he was seven or eight steps away from Li Xin.

The clay pot exploded with a bang, and the sound was deafening.

The pottery shards splashed all over the place, and one of the pottery shards happened to slip across the face of an inner guard, drawing a long bloody gash.

Xiao Zheng looked at the white smoke in the courtyard of Jing'an Hou Mansion, nodded with satisfaction, turned to look at Li Xin, and said hesitantly: "Teacher, can the sky thunder in your box explode?"

There are a total of twelve sky thunders in the box, if only one can explode, the emperor must think that Xiao Zheng and Li Xin are colluding with each other after returning to the palace, and he will be heartbroken if he is killed alive!

Li Xin smiled calmly: "There are still a dozen of them here. If Eunuch Xiao is worried, why not order another one?"

Xiao Zheng was a little moved when he heard the words, but the one he took just now was indeed taken casually, and he didn't have too many doubts in his heart. Hearing the words, he shook his head and said: "The slave girl will take these treasures and go to the palace to deliver the order. It's getting late, you think you're going to leave Beijing, and it's better to leave Beijing early tomorrow morning."

Li Xin smiled: "It's about the same day, so according to what my father-in-law said, I will leave Beijing early tomorrow morning."

At this time, leaving the capital in a hurry, on the contrary, seemed guilty. Anyway, the decision-making power was in the hands of the emperor, so it was better to be a bachelor and take it easy.

Xiao Zheng sighed, bowed his head and cupped his hands towards Li Xin, and said in a deep voice, "Teacher... take care."

He was born as a steward in the hidden mansion of Prince Wei's mansion. When Li Xin first entered the Prince Wei's mansion more than ten years ago, he worked in the Prince Wei's mansion. In these years, the ups and downs in the capital and Li Xin's ups and downs have all been watched by him. In Xiao Zheng's eyes, Li Xin is a very respectable person no matter what.
