Unparalleled Concubine

He sighed softly, took out a wooden box from his arms, and prepared to hand it to Zhong Xuantong.

The old general immediately stood up and waved his hands again and again: "Your Majesty's holy gift, how can you be so casual, the angel waits a moment, let the old man summon his family and welcome the holy gift."

Li Xin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Old General, this thing is just an ordinary item. His Majesty didn't even give a decree. He only asked me to bring it to the Old General. There is no need to be so grand."

The old general looked solemn, shook his head and said: "Is there any reason to be negligent about the things that His Majesty gave you?"

As he said that, the commander-in-chief really went to gather more than a dozen direct descendants of the Zhong family, and the family lined up in a row, kneeling on the ground to welcome the holy object.

Li Xin shook his head.

He now somewhat understands why His Majesty the Emperor is so relieved about Yunzhou City. No one would be suspicious of such a breeder.

After the Zhong family was ready, Li Xin took out the wooden box from his arms, held it in his hands, and coughed: "Your Majesty bestows on General Zhong a telescope."

Chong Xuantong kowtowed respectfully, holding the unremarkable wooden box in Li Xin's hands with both hands. .

"Old minister, thank you for your majesty's generous gift. The grace of heaven is so great that I can't repay it with my broken bones and body."

If Li Xin returns to the capital, the emperor asks the reaction of the two generals in the north, Ye Ming may still have some disrespectful meaning, but the Zhong family can't find any faults.

This is the life principle that the Chong family has been pursuing for more than a hundred years of coexistence with the Dajin.

After the old general accepted the binoculars, Li Xin stepped forward to help him up, shook his head and said: "The old general is too cautious, Li Xin is not the villain who complained behind the scenes, the old general is not like this, and I will not do it after I return to Beijing." Will speak ill of the old general."

Chong Xuantong was helped up by Li Xin, he laughed and said: "Little angel, a gentleman should be cautious about his independence. No matter when and where, the Zhong family respects the emperor sincerely. My family has followed the Great Jin Dynasty for more than a hundred years and has always been loyal. We must set an example for future generations, and we must not let them go astray."

The so-called gentleman is cautious, which means that when a gentleman is alone, he must be most cautious about his words and deeds. Although Zhong Xuantong is not alone now, Yunzhou City can be said to be his territory, and no one can restrain him. Where he can do whatever he wants, there is actually no difference between being alone with a person.

Li Xin said with deep emotion: "Young people have been educated."

This is not flattery, he did learn something from this old general, that is, the word prudence. In comparison, although the general Ye Ming is about the same age as this general, he is far less prudent than Zhong Xuantong.

Even Li Shen, Marquis of Pingnan who was far away in southern Xinjiang, was not as cautious as this old general.

After Zhong Xuantong sat down, he opened the wooden box, took out the binoculars with both hands, held it in his hand and looked carefully for a week, but found nothing. He turned to look at Li Xin, and said with a smile: " Little angel, can you tell me what this is?"

Li Xin said with a half-smile: "If you change the name of the commander-in-chief, you should tell me about the humble position."

Chong Xuantong laughed: "Then ask Captain Li for advice."

Only then did Li Xin take a long breath, and explained the purpose of this telescope to the old guy. Chong Xuantong put the telescope on his eyes and found that he could indeed see far away. He was overjoyed and said, "There is such a holy Things, our army can predict the enemy's opportunity first!"

Li Xin shook his head, but didn't expose him.

Even a layman like Lieutenant Li can see that a single telescope cannot change the situation of the battle. It is impossible for a veteran like Zhong Xuantong to understand, so the sentence just now is pure flattery.

After sending out the telescope, Li Xin's imperial mission can be said to be over, but he still has a personal matter to attend to.

That is to give wine.

Li Xin coughed, and said, "Chang Shuai, there is a kind of medicinal wine in the capital. After being injured, use this kind of medicinal wine to scrub and avoid external evils. Your Majesty asked the humble official to come to the North, first to send it to the Zhenbei Army. A hundred altars were bought, and later His Royal Highness Wei Wang who was in charge of this matter found out, so he bought more than 20 more altars, and asked the humble officer to bring them over to the commander-in-chief, and give the Zhong family army a try first."

Every year in the army, countless people die from inflammation and tetanus. Therefore, something that can dispel external evils is enough to make any general fall in love with it. He smiled and asked, "Lieutenant Li, what you mean is that these 20 jars of wine were not given by His Majesty, but by His Royal Highness King Wei?"

Li Xinxin let out a long sigh.

These old guys are too smart to fool them.

But it's not surprising when you think about it, even Ye Ming's personality dare not accept private gifts from the Seventh Prince, let alone a personality like Xuantong, it's expected to get this kind of answer.

Li Xin coughed and said, "It's indeed His Royal Highness King Wei's wish, but none of these medicinal liquors has been recorded in the Ministry of War, so Commander Zhong can accept them with peace of mind, no one will find out."

Chong Xuantong shook his head resolutely: "I don't want these medicinal wines, please ask Captain Li to bring them back to the capital."

Li Xin shook his head helplessly: "I've already brought them here, so there's no reason to bring them back. After all, this thing is considered a gift from a humble job adoring the family's kindness, and it's a private gift for the family, how about it?"

Zhong Xuantong squinted his eyes and looked at Li Xin, before slowly opening his mouth: "Then we need to ask Li Xiaowei to make written evidence to explain clearly the origin of these things."

I will make you a big-headed ghost!

Li Xin twitched his cheeks, and finally sighed: "Okay, I will write a letter for my humble position."

All the things have been brought, and the old guy must accept them no matter what, otherwise this trip will be considered a waste of time. Even if this thing is personally given by Li Xin to the Zhong family, the Zhong family will also bear his favor. There will always be something useful.

After finishing writing the document, Zhong Xuantong squinted his eyes to read it, then put it away in his sleeve, and said with a smile: "Lieutenant Li, wait here for a while."

After saying this, the old general turned around and went to the backyard of his home. Not long after, he brought over an iron sword.

Chong Xuantong held the sword in front of Li Xin, and said with a chuckle: "The so-called courtesy is reciprocal, the Chong family can't just take the gift from Captain Li for nothing, this sword is called Qingzhi, and it was the treasure of the Zhongshan country back then. The iron is like mud, half a year ago when the Zhongshan Kingdom was destroyed, this sword became the old man's saber, now that the old man is very old and has no chance to fight the enemy again, this green pheasant should be given to a young man. "

After all, he held the sword in front of Li Xin.

"Please Lieutenant Li, don't be disgusted and accept this sword."

Li Xin shook his head secretly.

Watertight...

Chapter 194

While Li Xin was busy at the border, some bad things happened in the capital.

After the Marquis of Pingnan's mansion was quarreled by Li Xin once, it felt like it was in a slump. Although Li Chun was a bit stupid, he was the eldest son of Marquis of Pingnan's mansion after all, and he really represented Marquis of Pingnan's mansion, but The Emperor Chengde ruthlessly stripped off all his official honors, which caused all the civil and military officials in the capital to receive some "signals". For more than a month, no one had any contact with the Pingnanhou Mansion. .

Mrs. Yu also closed the door to thank the guests. This once glorious waiting door seemed to be about to decline.

But on this day, Mrs. Yu, who hadn't been out for a long time, took her elder son Li Chun, who had lost a whole circle, and several family generals, and left the house early in the morning to the south gate of the capital.

After a few people left the south gate of the capital all the way, they continued to walk south.

At this time, a few ordinary people have quietly followed behind these people.

Madam Yu and Li Chun are protons. The court will not restrict their actions on the surface, but they will definitely not allow them to leave the capital, or to leave the court's gaze.

Madam Yu took her son all the way to the Shili Pavilion outside the South City Gate.

In this era of inconvenient transportation, if friends and relatives are not in the same city, it is very difficult to meet each other. Generally speaking, relatives will stay for at least ten days and half a month, or even half a year before leaving. It is also reluctant to part, and usually sent ten miles out of the city.

This ten-mile pavilion is the place where we greet and send off.

Madam Yu and her son, who had lost a lot of weight, sat quietly in the Ten Mile Pavilion, looking over there.

Li Chun's eyes flickered a little.

After kidnapping Zhong Xiaoxiao last time, Mrs. Yu didn't beat him, and didn't punish him, but she never talked to her son again, which made him feel more uncomfortable than beating Li Chun.

After Li Chun sat down in Shiliting, he carefully glanced at his mother: "Mother, who are we picking up here?"
