Unparalleled Concubine

Zhao Yi put the seal letter into his arms, bowed his head and said, "My child understands."

………………

The defeated Southwest Army was resting outside the city, while the Imperial Army in the capital was in a gloomy state. The Xiang Army and the Imperial Army flanked the Southwest Army, but they were easily resolved by the Southwest Army. As a result, the Forbidden Army lost more than 2 soldiers.

This defeat not only caused chaos in the imperial court, but even the officials and gentlemen in the Weiyang Palace became a quarrel. Many civil officials were furious and clamored to dismiss the general of the Forbidden Army, Zhong Xuantong, and replace him with another.

The Zhong family's army had a very detached status in the Jin court. Generally, no one dared to say that the Zhong family was wrong, but this time, someone had already lit the flames on the Zhong family, which showed that something was not quite right in the capital.

Regarding this, General Zhong didn't even come to Weiyang Palace, but stayed near the west city wall, leading the forbidden army.

The Son of Heaven, who is on the throne, did not express his opinion on this, and allowed these civil officials to quarrel.

While the gentlemen in the court were fighting with each other, Zhao Yi, disguised as a vegetable farmer, entered the capital smoothly under Anbu's operation.

All the workshops in the capital were under martial law at this time, but Li Xin had a high position in the capital back then, and many people in the dark department of the capital were not low in status, so Zhao Yi entered Liushufang smoothly.

In an unremarkable alley in Liushufang, he met an equally unremarkable old man.

Zhao Yi walked up and bowed his head in salute.

"Junior Zhao Yi, I met General He."

Chapter 1088

Zhao Yi entered the capital smoothly, which seemed to be very smooth, but behind the scenes, it was Li Xin's secret department in the capital who sent him in at the risk of being exposed.

In these years, Li Xin has lived in the capital for almost ten years. The Anbu in the capital is also the place where he spends the most effort. Using connections, arranging messengers to work in various yamen, and even...

There are also some "Habayashi guards" who were promoted from Habayashi guards to various yamen after the Renchen Palace change.

After all, the imperial court is not deaf and blind. The imperial court has Tianmu prison, plum blossom guards, and unknown eyes and ears hidden in the dark. Arranging people to enter the capital at this time is a huge risk.

This is also the reason why Li Xin himself did not enter the capital.

With the efforts of countless people, Zhao Yi finally entered Liushufang and met the person he wanted to see.

This person is the old man in front of him, He Song, General He.

He Song, in the early years, under the command of General Ye Ming, the captain of the Zhenbei Army, made countless contributions in the military tent. Later, because he chased and killed the Xianbei tribesmen who invaded the border, the little finger of his right hand was shot down by the Xianbei people, and he could not hold the weapon steadily ever since. , Unable to pull the bowstring steadily, he retreated from the front line of the Zhenbei Army, entered Chen Guogong's mansion, and sat as the general of Chen Guogong's mansion.

In the first year of Taikang, Emperor Taikang and Li Xin conspired to take control of the Forbidden Army, and finally succeeded in carrying Pei Jin into the Governor's Mansion. Li Xin himself got his wish and sat in the position of General of the Right Battalion of the Forbidden Army, but at that time However, Li Xincai was young and had little experience in leading troops, so he was not very good at controlling the imperial army. The old man, Ye Sheng, selected eight generals from Chen Guogong's family to "loan" to Li Xin to help him take care of them. Forbidden army.

He Song is one of them.

Among the eight generals of Chen Guogong's family, he was the first to be the captain of Zhechong in Fangshan Zhechong. Later, after following Li Xin's expedition to the west, he became the deputy general of the Right Battalion of the Forbidden Army, helping Li Xin manage the right camp of the Forbidden Army.

Back then, Li Xin led the Right Battalion of the Forbidden Army to conquer the west and successfully conquered the Southwest. Because of his great contribution, he needed to avoid suspicion. Old Man Ye also asked him to hide his edge. Therefore, in those years, although Li Xin held the position of General of the Right Battalion of the Forbidden Army , but seldom actually go to the Right Camp of the Forbidden Army to handle military affairs. The one who is really in charge of the right camp of the Forbidden Army is General He Songhe.

Later, Li Xin retired from the position of General of the Right Battalion of the Forbidden Army, and He Song took over the position as a matter of course, and became a veritable General of the Right Battalion. Principal.

Until the Yuanzhao period, he was still the general of the right battalion of the forbidden army.

Until the end of last year, when the Southwest Army officially left Shu, the emperor took the opportunity to remove He Song from the position of General Youying because of his "old relationship" with Li Xin and his background in Chen Guogong's mansion, and let him be idle in the capital.

However, when he followed Li Xin back then, he was already 40 years old. After more than ten years, he is already 55-[-] years old, and he has reached the age of "retirement".

Now, there is no Ye family in Chen Guogong's mansion, so it is impossible for him to go back. In addition, He Song has established his own family business these years, so he lives in Liushufang and enjoys his "retirement" life.

When a young man like Zhao Yi stood in front of him and called "General He", He Song was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Who is Mr. Xiaolang?"

Zhao Yi saluted He Song respectfully, cupped his hands and said, "Your junior comes from the southwest."

With this sentence, He Song's face immediately changed. He was originally sitting under the big willow tree in Liushufang, but he immediately stood up when he heard the words. Slowly walked towards his home.

"The old man doesn't know anyone from the southwest."

He Song coughed twice, his voice a little hoarse.

"It's getting late, the old man is going home."

For this situation, Zhao Yi was not surprised. After all, at this moment, everyone in the capital was in danger, and it was only natural that everyone should be more cautious.

He walked towards He Song, then quietly took out the seal that Li Xin gave him, and handed it to the old general.

This seal is not big, only the size of an adult's thumb, it is made of jasper, with four inscriptions engraved on it.

Private seal of Chang'an.

In this era, a man often has a lot of seals. In addition to the public seal, there are also seals with names, names, and nicknames.For example, when Li Xin was working in Beijing, he had more than ten seals because of too many titles, but this seal is quite special.

Li Xin's watch name Chang'an was given to him by his grandfather Ye Cheng, and this seal was also given to Li Xin by Ye Cheng. Li Xin has been carrying it with him all these years and rarely leaves it.

After getting the seal, He Song didn't say much, but silently put the seal into his sleeve with a low voice.

"After sunset, come to my back door..."

After saying this, the old general floated away, taking Li Xin's private seal with him.

…………

After sunset, Zhao Yi waited at the back door of He Song's house with his hands down. When it got darker, a member of the He family led him in.

After walking in the backyard of the He family for a while, Zhao Yicai was brought to the door of a study room, led his servant, and bowed his head respectfully to the study room: "Master, I have brought you here."

"Understood, you go down."

The servant quickly retreated, while Zhao Yi reached out and knocked on the door, and after getting permission, he opened the door and walked in.

This is He Song's study room, but it doesn't look like a study room. There is a longbow, spear, and sword in the study room. It looks more like an armory.

After Zhao Yi entered, He Song pointed to the stool in the study and said, "Sit down and talk."

Zhao Yi sat down politely.

Only then did He Song sized Zhao Yi up and down, and asked, "Who is Li Houye, Xiao Langjun?"

Zhao Yi bowed respectfully: "He is the foster father of the younger generation."

"Oh."

He Song nodded, and said, "A hero is born in a young age. At Xiao Langjun's age, it is really rare for him to dare to sneak into the capital at this time."

Speaking of this, He Song paused, and continued: "I remember the first time I saw Li Houye in Chen Guogong's mansion, Li Houye was almost at the same age as Xiao Langjun."

He sighed and asked, "Xiao Langjun took such a big risk to come to the capital to see me, an old man, what is the so-called?"

Zhao Yi was a little nervous, but there was no expression on his face. He looked up at He Song, and said in a deep voice, "The boy is bringing a few words to the old general for his adoptive father."
