Unparalleled Concubine

Zhong Xiaoxiao walked over, still a little embarrassed.

"I'm afraid of disturbing the reunion of my elder brother's family."

Li Xin poked the girl's forehead with his hand, and said with a smile: "What nonsense, are we not a family anymore?"

"Fortunately, I specially bought you a house in Yonglefang for you and your wife to live in."

Zhong Xiaoxiao blushed slightly, and bowed her head deeply to Li Xin.

"Thank you, brother."

Chapter 1135 Thoughts at the dinner table

When the family came back, they naturally wanted to have a meal together. Li Xin held a banquet in Jing'an Hou Mansion. Li Xin's family, including Li Shuo, Mu Ying, Zhao Jia and others, were all present. , a big table was almost full, quite lively.

There are no more than 20 people on this table, but in the foreseeable future, these [-] people can at least affect the whole world for [-] years or even longer.

The four families who can sit at this table will become family friends and help each other in the future.

The juniors at this dinner table will become the most dazzling group of people in the capital in the future. This is the top circle belonging to the Southwest Group. Others, even the Ye family who are very close to Li Xin, and Hou Jingde, He Song, etc. Generals who have made great achievements cannot enter.

It's just that Princess Nine was tired from the journey. After sitting down and having a few mouthfuls of food, she said a few words to Li Xin beside her, then got up and forced a smile to the people present, and said, "I've been traveling all the way. Jincheng rushed over, feeling a little tired, and really couldn't eat, so he went back to the house to rest, everyone eat slowly."

Zhong Xiaoxiao, who was sitting beside the Ninth Princess, also stood up after hearing the words, and said softly to Li Xin: "Brother, I'm almost full, I'll help my sister-in-law go back to the house to rest."

Li Xin knew that Princess Ninth felt a little uncomfortable, so he nodded and said, "You guys have had a hard time traveling all the way, so go down and have a rest first, if you get hungry later, let the kitchen get you something to eat."

Zhong Xiaoxiao nodded and helped Princess Nine to go down.

Originally, Princess Nine was at the dinner table, and the people present were a bit restrained. After Princess Nine left, the atmosphere at the dinner table became much warmer. Mu Ying raised her glass to toast Li Xin, and said with a smile: "News from the north It has also been reported that although Ye Guogong fought hard in the north, the Yunzhou army is almost approaching Yunzhou at this time, and the Xianbei people will withdraw from the pass in a short time."

Mu Ying grinned: "When the northern border is stabilized, the situation in the imperial court will be considered stable."

In the past few months, the Xianbei tribe in northern Xinjiang has indeed changed a lot, but under the interference of Li Xin, the four Xianbei tribes have internal gaps, and there is no way to use their strength in one place. They attacked the northern border, but Ye Mao's pressure was not particularly great.

It is worth mentioning that because the Yuwenzhao tribe suffered heavy losses, they were unable to send troops to the south. This time, it was the other three tribes who sent troops to harass the northern border.

Among them, the Helan tribe who had a covenant with Li Xin, that is, the new head of the Helan tribe, Yu Wentao who was appointed an official by the court.

Facts have proved that as long as they sit in that position, no matter who they are, they will stare at the south. As long as the Central Plains Dynasty in the south shows a little weakness, these Xianbei people will pounce on them and bite them hard. a mouthful.

Fortunately, Ye Mao resisted the Xianbei people very tenaciously in the northern border, and the Xianbei talents stopped at small-scale explorations, and no major forces went south.

Once the situation on the Jingcheng side is completely stabilized and He Song's troops arrive in northern Xinjiang, the Xianbei tribe will never have the slightest chance. When Li Xin can withdraw his hand from the capital, the Xianbei tribe will usher in the second Nightmare!

After listening to Mu Ying's words, Li Xin raised his glass and took a sip of wine silently, then said slowly: "Ye Mao fought very hard in the north..."

At that time, the northern army of 5 towns guarded the city, but the Xianbei people forcibly used their lives to grind through the pass, which shows the strength of these Xianbei people. Although Ye Mao has [-] people around him, most of them are there. The recruits temporarily recruited in northern Xinjiang, together with some soldiers from Yanzhou, were forced to put together an army, and their combat effectiveness was far inferior to that of the Zhenbei Army back then.

Under such circumstances, Ye Mao still tenaciously defended the northern border, and even frightened the Xianbei people so that they did not dare to march south with large numbers of troops!

The reason for such brilliant victories is that, on the one hand, the prestige of the Ye family in the north allowed Ye Mao to receive a lot of assistance, and more importantly, the personal bravery of Duke Ye played a big role.

Back then, Ye Cheng once commented on his eldest grandson, saying that Ye Mao was already about seven or eight years old when he was young. Back then, Ye Sheng took the lead in defeating the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Now Ye Mao is always at the forefront of every battle in Northern Xinjiang. According to the information Li Xin received, until five days ago, Ye Mao had personally charged for more than [-] battles, with countless small wounds all over his body, and two or three serious arrow wounds.

Ordinary people who have been injured to this extent have probably already recuperated in bed, but so far, Ye Mao is still fighting in the northern border, defending the territory his grandfather conquered.

It was because of Ye Mao's bravery that many new recruits around him who had just entered the battle could let go of their fear and rushed towards those Xianbei barbarians on horseback together with Ye Mao.

Of course, not everyone has Ye Mao's physique and martial arts, nor does everyone have the refined iron armor that Ye Mao wears, and not everyone is like Ye Mao, who is always surrounded by personal guards. At that time, almost all of the 5 people around Ye Mao had been replaced. In addition to the recruits who had been recruiting, there were only 3 to [-] people around now.

It shows the brutality of the war.

If it wasn't for the special situation in the capital, where people are inseparable, Li Xin would have personally led his troops north to support Ye Mao.

Thinking of this, Governor Li narrowed his eyes slightly, and his voice was a bit cold: "Ye Mao can return to the capital wholeheartedly, so it's okay, if my nephew dies in Northern Xinjiang, the Zhong family must pay for it! "

To be honest, from a legal point of view, there is no problem for the Zhong family to bring the Yunzhou army back to the king of Jingqin. ", but when the capital was broken, the Yunzhou army was still heading towards the capital, which completely annoyed Li Xin.

After this incident, regardless of whether Ye Mao is dead or alive, Li Xin will definitely attack the Zhong family, at least to take away their "military vassal" power, and let this former number one general of the Jin Dynasty fall to the bottom. In the dust!

Hearing anxious words, Mu Ying also lowered her head and sighed: "My subordinates also read the military newspapers in northern Xinjiang every day. To be honest, my subordinates would never be able to do what Ye Guogong did when they were in a different place. Already dead in the north."

"I am far inferior to Ye Guogong except for firing weapons."

Li Xin got up, picked up the wine glass, Mu Ying and the other three also quickly stood up, picked up the wine glass and clinked a glass with Li Xin.

The four of them raised their heads and drank it all in one gulp.

Li Dadu slammed the cup on the table, murderous: "Yu Wentao is treacherous, and he has both ends. I will make him look good sooner or later!"

Among the four divisions of Yuwen, the Yuwenzhao Division has been seriously injured and barely moved. Although the Futu Division is the closest to Jimen Pass, when they attacked Jimen Pass last time, many people died in the Futu Division. didn't move.

The main forces attacking northern Xinjiang were Yu Wentao's Helan tribe and the unremarkable Qigui tribe.

If it wasn't for Li Xin back then, Yu Wentao was still feeding the horses at the racecourse. Now it's only been more than a year, and he would have avenged his revenge and invaded northern Xinjiang!

His younger sister, Yu Wenjing, still lives in the capital!

Seeing that Li Xin was so angry, Mu Ying and the others swallowed back what they wanted to say just now, Li Shuo put down his wine glass, bowed his head slightly to Li Xin and said, "Don't worry, brother, within three years, I will definitely capture this life to my brother In front of you, vent your anger with your brother!"

Chapter 1136

As the situation in the capital gradually stabilized, taking advantage of Li Xin's opportunity to treat guests, Mu Ying, Li Shuo and the others wanted to take this opportunity to persuade Li Xin to assume the position as soon as possible, but Li Xin changed the subject and brought up the issue of Northern Xinjiang. Regarding the matter, the three of them had a tacit understanding and didn't say anything.

After eating this meal for more than an hour, the four of them were blushing from drinking and their necks were thick before it was over. It was only afternoon, Li Xin stood up unsteadily, and let a few juniors support their parents. After drinking to this point, Li Xin was naturally ready to let these people stay in his house to rest for a while, but Mu Ying and Li Shuo were only slightly drunk, there was no serious problem, and they all left with their families, only the right servant of Shangshutai Zhao Jia, who had the least amount of alcohol, fell to the ground unconscious.

Li Xin ordered the servants of the Hou Mansion to prepare the room, and asked Zhao Yi to help his father go down to rest.

After the banquet was over, Li Xin himself was also a little tired, and he went back to his room in the backyard while supporting his aching head.

At this time, Princess Nine was packing up the odds and ends brought from the southwest in the room. Seeing Li Xin stumbling in, she quickly stood up and supported Li Xin, and sighed softly: "Drink as long as you drink, how can you drink for an hour or two?" ? This family still depends on you to support it, if you drink and hurt your body..."

Supported by her, Li Xin sat beside the bed, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "You have to drink what you should drink, these are all companions who share weal and woe with our family..."

Ninth Princess snorted lightly.

"At this point, if you don't drink, will anyone dare to force you to drink?"

Governor Li smiled wryly: "It's just a group of friends getting together, how dare you say that?"

Princess Jiu helped him lie on the bed, then sat on the edge of the bed by herself, took Li Xin's cold hand, frowned and said, "Your body is afraid of the cold, and you don't know how to wear more in winter."

After saying this, she got up and picked up the bamboo clip next to the bed, added a few pieces of charcoal to the copper stove next to it, and then picked it lightly. The charcoal fire gradually became stronger, and the room suddenly became warmer.

Li Xin was half lying on the bed, looking at the Ninth Princess who was busy beside her, and asked softly: "Madam, you...won't you blame me?"

The Ninth Princess paused, put down the bamboo clip in her hand, sat beside Li Xin, and sighed with a complicated expression.
