Unparalleled Concubine

The two families were not far away, Li Xin walked for a while, and then came to the gate of Chen Guogong's mansion. He didn't need to inform, he went straight in, grabbed a servant of Chen Guogong's mansion, and asked: "The fourth young master is back. No?"

This person is also a steward of Chen Guogong's mansion. He lowered his head and said: "Back to Lord Hou, the fourth young master has arrived in the capital, but he hasn't returned home yet. The young man went out early in the morning and waited. came back."

Li Xin nodded and patted the man on the shoulder.

"Okay, go get busy."

Ye Lin hadn't come back yet, and Li Xin didn't wait for his thoughts, he went straight to the backyard of Ye's house, came to the door of old man Ye's small courtyard, and knocked on the courtyard door.

After a while, the courtyard door was slowly pushed open, and it was no longer the hale and hearty old man who opened the door, but a middle-aged man with a fair complexion.

When Li Xin faced Old Man Ye, he always had a playful smile on his face, but when facing this middle-aged man, he became serious rarely, and bowed his head respectfully.

"Li Xin has met Mr. Qin."

Qin Yuanhua nodded slightly to Li Xin, and said, "Master Li is here to visit the old man?"

Li Xin nodded and smiled, and asked, "Mr. Qin, how is your teacher?"

"It's pretty stable for now."

Qin Yuanhua sighed, and said with some helplessness: "It's just that the old man still refuses to drink alcohol. When Li Houye sees the old man, if he can persuade him, he must persuade him."

Li Xin nodded with a smile.

"I'll go in and have a look at Master Ye."

Qin Yuanhua stepped aside, nodded and said, "Master Li, please."

Only then did Li Xin step in, stepping in, he smelled a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine, he waved his sleeve to dissipate some of the smell, and walked in.

Old man Ye was lying on a deck chair in the yard, basking in the sun with his eyes squinted, looking leisurely.

Li Xin walked over, squatted beside the old man, and said with a smile: "Master Ye, this disciple sees you coming."

Only then did Ye Cheng open his eyes, and after glancing at Li Xin, he said lazily, "To see if the old man is dead?"

Lord Jing'an stretched out his hand and patted the dust behind him, then he didn't mind and sat down.

The old man was lying on the recliner, and Li Xin sat on the ground with his buttocks on the ground, and the two of them seemed to be about the same height.

After Li Xin heard the old man's words, he shook his head and smiled: "Master Ye, this disciple is very filial to you, and will come to see you whenever he is free. You can't talk nonsense."

Old man Ye stared.

"The last time your kid came to this old man, he asked when he died. I have remembered this for seven or eight days!"

"The old man is now old and has a good temper. If I had seen you decades ago, you little bastard, the grass on the grave would be several feet high!"

After speaking, the old man lay down angrily.

Li Xin didn't mind either, and sat beside the old man and smiled.

"Master Ye, I heard that Senior Brother Xiaoye will be back soon."

Ye Cheng glanced sideways at Li Xin.

"Are you here to see me, or to see him?"

"Look, look, look."

Li Xin smiled and said: "The main reason is to visit your old man."

Ye Cheng snorted.

"You have always had the temperament of going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, so let's talk about it, what's the matter?"

Lord Jing'an sat on the ground, raised his head and glanced at Ye Cheng quietly.

"Master Ye, do you know what is an ominous weapon for a good soldier?"

Chapter 658

For decades, although the old man stayed behind closed doors, he had always been concerned about the court situation. After hearing Li Xin's words, the lazy old man immediately became energetic. Sitting up on the recliner, he glanced at Li Xin and said slowly, "What did Your Majesty tell you?"

Li Xin nodded and said with a smile: "Master Ye, just wait and see, when the weather gets warmer, the fight will almost start."

Up to now, according to all the signs of the court, the matter of the Northern Expedition is almost a certainty, the difference is only in the details, so Li Xin dared to say such firm words.

Old man Ye squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then turned to look at Li Xin.

"How much do you know?"

It's a bit sad to say, Ye Cheng, as the most dazzling general since the founding of the Jin Dynasty, really doesn't know as much about the affairs of the court as Li Xin, a young man.

Li Xin sat on the flat ground, looked up at the old man, and said with a smile: "Master Ye, if you stop drinking, this disciple will tell you everything I know."

Old man Ye stared and snorted: "Whether you like to talk or not, I have never been threatened by anyone in my life!"

This old man doesn't eat oil or salt.

In desperation, Li Xin shook his head, and said, "The imperial court has already prepared all aspects of things, and today's emperor wants to use this matter to cover up the palace change that year. "

"Originally, this battle can be fought or not, but the emperor has such an old incident, and the current court has the ability to look north. For various reasons, this battle must be fought."

Speaking of this, Li Xin was silent for a while, glanced around, and after confirming that there was no one else in the yard, he said in a low voice: "To tell the truth, Master Ye, His Majesty has ordered the disciple's military department to prepare ordnance and send it to the north."

Old Man Ye narrowed his eyes and asked, "Should I send it to Jimen Pass or Yunzhou City?"

Now that this has been said, there is nothing to hide from Old Man Ye. Li Xin replied in a low voice: "It is Yunzhou City at present."

"This matter is still in the confidential stage, and nothing has been settled yet. Master Ye just needs to listen to it."

Ye Cheng rolled his eyes at Li Xin, and said angrily, "This old man's mouth is the most reliable mouth in the entire Dajin. I don't know how much the old man knows about the secrets of Dajin. Is there any thing that has been spread?"

Old man Ye will be 80 years old in a month. He was not too old when he became a general. His four to fifty years of official career has given Old Man Ye a lot of knowledge that others don't.

After all, many things are stories and history to others, but to this old man, they are just memories buried in his mind.

Li Xin smiled: "I don't mean to worry about Master Ye, it's just that these things haven't been settled yet, I just have an idea."

Ye Cheng nodded, sat on the recliner and frowned, then sighed slightly: "Chang'an."

Li Xin said, "The disciple is here."

"The Northern Expedition is no better than the Western Expedition. During the Western Expedition, the people's hearts are all on the court's side, and the Pingnan Army does not occupy the righteousness, so the fight can be so smooth, but the Northern Expedition is quite different. The old man is in his heart these days. I have calculated that once a fight breaks out, the court will probably be dragged into the quagmire."

Sitting on the flat ground, Li Xin smiled and said, "Master Ye, these are the daily visits of His Majesty and the Chancellor of the Three Provinces. You and I are military officers. What we have to do is wait for the imperial court's order. The imperial court wants us to fight, so let's go and fight." Now, as for why we fight, or whether we should fight, it’s not something we should ask.”
