Unparalleled Concubine

The old man smiled.

"Don't look like a mother-in-law. I have lived a good life. Even if I die now, it's not a waste of time."

"You go."

Li Xin took a deep breath and said nothing more.

When he turned around and took a dozen steps, he could still hear Old Man Ye's loud voice behind him.

"Old brothers, you are the ones who made Ye Cheng successful in this life. In the next life, Ye Cheng will be with you all!"

Li Xin looked back, only to find that Old Man Ye stood up at some point and was toasting seventeen old soldiers.

Seeing this situation, Lord Jing'an knew that he couldn't persuade the old man, so he could only sigh helplessly, and walked towards the gate of the yard.

When he reached the gate of the courtyard and was about to open it, he remembered that there was still an emperor waiting outside.

Master Jing'an became ruthless, raised his fist, and hit his left eye hard.

Li Xin has been practicing boxing for ten years, and the strength in his hands is very strong. After this blow, his left eye suddenly turned blue, and he felt groggy.

He sat on the ground, and it took him a while to recover, then rubbed his eyes with his hands, took a deep breath, pushed open the courtyard door and walked out.

Outside the gate of the courtyard, Emperor Taikang was waiting at the gate, and Ye Lin, the fourth master of the Ye family, stood behind him respectfully.

Covering his eyes with one hand, Li Xin walked over and smiled wryly at the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid you won't be able to enter today. The old man drank too much and didn't give anyone a chance to speak. As soon as I approached a few steps and was about to talk, Master Ye said that I disturbed him from drinking, so he just came up for a while. "

In fact, there was no need for Li Xin to do this. After all, Ye Sheng's prestige is here. He just said that he didn't see the emperor. The emperor couldn't get angry for a while. After all, it's not a joke. Since Li Xin is the apprentice of Old Man Ye, if he can cover Ye Cheng at this time, he will naturally cover it.

After speaking, Li Xin let go of his hand, revealing his bruised left eye.

"Look, Your Majesty."

He said with a bitter face: "You should visit Master Ye another day. There is really no way today. Master Ye has an old problem. He likes to beat people when he drinks too much. Everyone in the Ye family knows about this."

This is true, but those who get beaten on weekdays are usually the children and grandchildren of Old Man Ye.

Seeing Li Xin in such a state of embarrassment, the Son of Heaven burst out laughing. He stepped forward to inspect Li Xin's injuries, and tried his best to hold his expression: "Why is the old Duke so unreasonable? He even beat up my Minister of War? like this."

Speaking of this, the Son of Heaven coughed and said, "It's a pity that the old man is your master in Chang'an. It's a family matter for a master to beat his apprentice. It's not good for me to intervene, otherwise I will have to make decisions for you."

Ye Lin, who was behind the Son of Heaven, also stepped forward to take a look at Li Xin's injuries, and couldn't stop apologizing to Li Xin.

"Father is like this after drinking, I'm really sorry..."

Li Xin covered his eyes and said with a wry smile: "It's okay, the old man is old, and he doesn't attack hard, just go back and apply it for a few days and it will be fine."

The emperor patted Li Xin on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Chang'an, your injury is not serious, so don't be busy here, go home and have a good rest, and when you recover from this injury, I still have something for you to do." .”

Now Lord Jing'an became a one-eyed dragon, covered his eyes and said, "Does Your Majesty still want to go in?"

"Not going in, not going in."

Emperor Taikang suppressed a smile, and spoke solemnly.

"The day after tomorrow is the day of the Great Court Meeting at the end of the month. I don't want to go to court like you."

Chapter 697

Anyway, the emperor finally coaxed back.

Surrounded by Xiao Zheng and others, Emperor Taikang quietly left Chen Guogong's mansion, but the emperor left, but Li Xin did not leave, because he was very worried that something would happen to Ye Cheng in the yard, so he covered one eye and walked in A chair was moved to guard the gate of the yard.

Ye Lin was so moved that he asked someone to find an ice pack for Li Xin to put on his eyes, and then he ignored the entertaining guests in the mansion, and moved a chair to sit next to Li Xin, guarding the gate of the yard.

Lord Jing'an applied the ice pack with his hands, and felt a lot more comfortable.

Ye Lin sat beside him, saw Li Xin's appearance, and sighed slightly: "Chang'an, you made this injury yourself, right?"

Li Xin forced a smile.

"Senior brother, how do you know it wasn't Master Ye who beat you?"

Ye Lin shook his head, and said slowly: "Father, he really likes to beat people. Everyone in the family, from the eldest brother, to the dead second and third brothers, to me and Ye Mao, have all been beaten by him, but the old father He is only so strict with his own flesh and blood, and for decades, I have never seen him beat anyone outside."

"Even the servants and maidservants at home, my father has never done anything."

After applying it for a while, Li Xin felt more comfortable, put down the ice pack, looked up at the yard in front of him, and sighed.

"Master Ye...is losing his temper with the Ji family, and he has kept this anger in his heart for forty years."

Li Xin did not accept Ye Lin's words. The reason he did this was purely for the sake of His Holiness, not to be kind to the Ye family, let alone to impress Ye Lin or Ye Ming.

If this matter is discussed, the taste will change instead. He disdains this, so he directly changed the topic.

Speaking of this, Lord Jing'an said worriedly: "If you hold this breath in your heart, Master Ye should not be in any danger. The most fearful thing is that he will let out this breath..."

The old man is like this, sometimes holding something in his heart will make him live longer. If this thing is gone, maybe the person will be gone too.

Hearing this, Ye Lin's eyes became even more worried, but he was also a soldier, and he knew very well that his father didn't want to be disturbed or interrupted.

After being silent for a while, Li Xin said, "Brother, if you let your two sons try it, Master Ye might listen to them."

Ye Lin is 40 years old this year. He naturally has a son, and he is the second son and two daughters. However, the Fourth Young Master Ye was quite dissolute when he was young and got married relatively late. Until now, the two sons in his family, the eldest I'm only twelve or thirteen years old.

For the two young grandsons, Old Man Ye has always been quite fond of them. The most obvious evidence is that the elder grandson Ye Mao has been beaten by him since he was a child, but he has never beaten any of these two young grandsons.

Ye Lin hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "I'll let them come over."

.........

Finally, the [-] old men in the courtyard had been making noise from morning to afternoon, after a few people took turns to go to battle, persuading earnestly, plus the [-] old men headed by Wang Zhong were also worried about Ye Cheng's health. The banquet has just come to an end.

Old man Ye's face was like a monkey's butt. With Wang Zhong's support, he stood up unsteadily and raised the wine bowl in his hand.

"Old brothers..."

The former Great Jin God of War couldn't speak clearly. He paused for a while, then faced north, and slowly poured the bowl of wine in his hand on the ground.

"Let's...don't drink this bowl of wine, let's drink it for the young brothers who died in northern Xinjiang 40 years ago..."

At the beginning of the Northern Expedition, brilliant results were achieved, but the results were not without cost. During the eight years of the Northern Expedition, batch after batch of soldiers from the Great Jin Dynasty supported the Northern Front. There are hundreds of thousands of people!

Today's northern territory was conquered only after the Emperor Wu, Ji Mu, hollowed out the Great Jin.

Ye Cheng's road to the north was paved with bones.
