Unparalleled Concubine

Li Xin smiled at Wang Zhong, and said: "You are also General Zuo Lang of the Habayashi Guard, and your daily salary is not only rich, but at least enough for your drinking expenses. It's just that other people can help you if you can. one time."

"You don't want to see Master Ye sad, do you?"

Wang Zhong paused for a moment, then nodded silently.

The two separated near Datongfang, Wang Zhong returned to the Habayashi Guard Camp, while Li Xin returned to his Jing'an Hou Mansion.

When Li Xin returned to the mansion, it was already midnight, he ate something, washed up, and went back to the backyard to rest.

In the small courtyard in the backyard, the eldest princess was hugging Li Ping, the young son of the Hou Mansion, and coaxing him to sleep. After hearing the sound of Li Xin coming, the eldest princess who was sitting by the bed moved to the side and said softly : "Why did you come back so late?"

When Li Xin walked in, she saw the bruise on Li Xin's left eye clearly. The eldest princess exclaimed, and quickly put down the little son in her arms, walked to Li Xin, looked seriously at Li Xin's eyes, and said: Asked: "What's the matter?"

Lord Jing'an held her hand with a smile, and said: "I accidentally punched someone, it's nothing serious, it will be fine in two days, as for why you came back so late..."

He sighed.

"Those old people have to be sent back one by one."

Today the eldest princess also went to Ye's house, and of course she knew that the seventeen old soldiers had gathered in Chen Guogong's mansion.

Li Xin smiled: "If they lose one or two, Master Ye won't eat me alive?"

Seeing that Li Xin was fine, the eldest princess felt relieved, nodded and said with a smile, "I grew up listening to Master Ye's stories, and always thought that Master Ye was a vicious and tyrannical murderer. Sitting together with these old people, they realized that Master Ye is actually a good person."

"That old man can't be considered a good man."

Li Xin laughed dumbly, and said: "Forty years ago, there were hundreds of thousands of Northern Zhou soldiers who died directly under his hands. Until now, the Yuwen tribes in the north are still afraid of Ye Ziqi like a tiger. , Master Ye is a villain that has been hard to see in a hundred years."

Over the past few years, Li Xin has learned a lot about the current situation of the Yuwen tribes in the north. He naturally knows what his teacher looks like in the Yuwen tribes.

To this day, if the children of the Yuwen tribes outside Guanwai are disobedient, the adults will tell the children, "Cry again, and Elai from the south will catch you and eat you." I dare not be disobedient.

It's evil, it's not Ye Cheng's nickname, it was the people from the Northern Zhou Dynasty who gave him the nickname 40 years ago.

"How can you calculate like that."

The eldest princess put down the sleeping child in her arms, and said softly: "We are Dajin people, so we naturally have to stand on the side of Dajin people to see things. In my heart, Master Ye is more powerful than grandfather."

The eldest princess is the daughter of Emperor Chengde, and her grandfather is naturally the Emperor Wu.

Li Xin said with a smile: "Your Highness, you slander your ancestors, be careful that you will be arrested by the Zongfu tomorrow."

The eldest princess gave Li Xin a blank look, and said coquettishly, "He won't say it in front of outsiders."

Saying that Ye Cheng is better than Emperor Wu is destined to be just a private conversation in the boudoir, which can't be said, and can't be said.

After the couple chatted for a while, Li Xin felt sleepy after a busy day. He yawned, carried little Li Ping into the cradle beside him, then sat on the bedside and said, "I'll go to bed first." Already, tomorrow morning, I will go to Chen Guogong's mansion to look at it."

The eldest princess glanced at Li Xin in surprise.

"Isn't Master Ye's birthday banquet over, what else do you want to see?"

At this moment, Li Xin had already closed his clothes and was lying on the bed. Instead of answering this question, he sighed leisurely.

The eldest princess was very smart and didn't ask any more questions. After handing her little daughter to her maid Cui Er to take her down, she also took off her coat, lay down next to Li Xin, covered her with a quilt and turned off the lights, and fell asleep.

This evening, it seems that there is no difference from the usual.

But unfortunately, this is destined to be a sleepless night.

Li Xin had just been lying down for an hour, which was about two quarters of the ugly time, when there was a knock on the door of the two people's room.

Because it was late at night, people outside the door did not dare to knock too loudly, but Li Xin, who was tense, jumped up from the bed like a spring after hearing this sound.

Without further ado, he began to put on his clothes.

The eldest princess was also awakened, and she asked in a low voice, "Husband, what happened?"

At this time, Li Xin had almost finished his clothes. He took a deep breath and said, "I don't know what it is, but it shouldn't be a good thing."

At this time, Li Xin felt extremely uncomfortable, and a particularly bad feeling permeated his heart.

"You... Just rest at home, I may have to work outside for a few days..."

With that said, Li Xin walked out of the back room and pushed open the door outside.

Chen Shiliu waited respectfully outside.

Li Xin didn't speak, but just looked at him expressionlessly.

The one-armed butler of the Jing'an Hou Mansion had a rare trembling voice.

"Master Hou, Lord Ye..."

"At the dying moment..."

Chapter 699 The last afterglow

Li Xin actually already had some mental preparations.

Before going to bed, he told the eldest princess that he would be watching at Chen Guogong's mansion for the next few days. He had an ominous premonition in his heart, worrying that something would happen to Old Man Ye in the next few days.

Even so, he still couldn't accept it at this time.

Because it's too fast.

In the afternoon, Ye Cheng was still in the backyard of Chen Guogong's mansion, drinking and singing with seventeen old soldiers, laughing resonantly. It only took a few hours, and he was... dying?

He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "Are you sure?"

Chen Shiliu trembled.

"Master Hou, this kind of thing... How dare a villain talk nonsense, someone from the Ye family came to report just now, saying that the old man is dying, please hurry over and have a look..."

Li Xin let out a muffled snort, and rushed out directly. He pulled out his black horse from the stable in the backyard, got on the horse, went out through the back door, and started galloping on Yongle Street.

It is early morning, and there is already a curfew in the capital. The more noble the place, the stricter the curfew. For places like Yonglefang, Jingzhao Mansion has always been the most caring. At this time, there are more than one The Fang Ding of Yongle Fang patrolled, and even the police of Jingzhao Mansion patrolled around.

But Li Xin's black horse galloped wildly in Yonglefang.

No one dared to stop him.

To be exact, no one could stop a horse like Mo Xiao, especially behind Li Xin, there were more than a dozen generals riding on horseback from the Marquis of Jing'an, all riding closely behind Li Xin.

This situation, not to mention the Fang Ding of Yongle Fang, even the people of Jingzhao Mansion dare not stop it. At most, it will be reported to the Shangguan the next morning and handed over to the Shangguan for disposal.

The distance between Jing'an Hou's Mansion and Chen Guogong's Mansion is not too far. On weekdays, Li Xin unfortunately passed by, and it was only the time for a stick of incense. At this time, he rode a horse, and after a short time, he arrived at the gate of Chen Guogong's mansion. Xin jumped off Mo Xiao's horse, threw the rein in his hand to a general at the door of Ye's house, and ran towards the backyard by himself.
