Unparalleled Concubine

The emperor nodded and asked slowly.

"Then tell me... is he a person who will bow his head and admit defeat?"

Eunuch Xiao was silent for a while, then lowered his head slightly.

"My servant doesn't know, but from my servant's point of view, Li Houye looks smooth on the surface, but he is a sharp-edged person in his bones."

The emperor narrowed his eyes and said nothing more, just stood up from his seat, and said, "Let's go, let's have dinner."

He walked in front of Xiao Zheng alone, with his hands behind his back, and whispered in a voice that only he could hear.

"I did this for your own good, whether you understand it or not."

"You don't understand, now I... am not afraid of you."

………………

No matter how many people Li Xin has buried in the capital, he cannot hear what happened in the palace compound, and the capital is thousands of miles away from Jimen Pass, even if he hears it, it will not reach Jizhou for a while to the city.

Just when General Pei Jin left the capital at night with the secret decree and military documents, Lord Jing'an in Jimen Pass had already interrogated the assassins in Jizhou city.

Of course, the interrogation process will not be too friendly, these Xianbei people have suffered somewhat under the hands of Wang Tao's gang of crude embryos.

To be exact... I suffered a lot.

Li Xin sat on the main seat, listened to the confessions of these Xianbei people, and then squinted his eyes.

"It means that the Buddha Department closest to us wants to kill me."

"And that so-called Heavenly King Yu Wenzhao wants to see me."

Wang Tao bowed and said, "Probably that's what it means."

"Most of these people are ordinary clansmen in the various tribes of Yuwen. They have not received the training of a dead warrior. They don't seem to be lying, and even if they are lying, such lies are meaningless."

Li Xin lowered his head slightly, closed his eyes and meditated for a moment, then slowly opened his eyes.

"In the various departments of Yuwen, if there is a character, there is a loophole that can be exploited, and it can be used for long-distance and short-term attacks."

"You send someone to send a letter to their heavenly king Yu Wenzhao, saying that I want to meet him."

Wang Tao nodded, and the respectful voice should be.

"Master Hou, may I ask where we meet?"

According to the rules, the hostile parties agree to meet. If one party proposes to meet, the other party must specify the time and place. Now that Yu Wenzhao wants to meet Li Xin, it is naturally Li Xin's agreed place.

Li Xin smiled and said, "It's in Jizhou City. As for the time, tell him that I will live in this city for a month, and I'll see him if I dare to come."

Wang Tao nodded and bent down.

And Ye Mao, who was following Li Xin, asked, "Master, the people from the Futu Department want to harm you, so you just let them go?"

Lord Jing'an narrowed his eyes and smiled.

"The four divisions of Yuwen act differently, and there are big flaws. If that Yuwen Zhao dares to come to see me in Jizhou City, it means that he is a man with great ambitions. At that time, the Yuwen Buddha Division will be destroyed soon."

The cause and effect relationship of this sentence is a little unclear, the little father-in-law was confused when he heard it, he scratched his head, a little embarrassed.

"Uncle, I didn't understand..."

Li Xin stood up from the chair and smiled at him.

"You don't need to understand, just go back to the Zhenbei Army camp and lead the troops."

Chapter 735

time flies.

In a blink of an eye, it was mid-October in the eighth year of Taikang. At this time, Jimen Pass in the lower part of the north was already quite cold, and the north wind blew on the face, and there was still a sense of separation.

Counting the days, Li Xin left the capital in late June. It took two months on the road, and he arrived in Jizhou City at the end of August, which means that he has been in Jizhou City for more than a month.

This month, he spent most of his time in this garden in Jizhou City. However, as a general of the Zhenbei Army, he still went to the Zhenbei Army camp to visit a few times, but he didn't have much to do with the town. The affairs of the Northern Army, big and small, were handed over to Ye Mao, which was regarded as giving Ye Mao, the future general, a chance to practice.

This morning, Lord Jing'an was wearing a cloak sewn by the eldest princess herself, sitting in Yuanzi's study, writing something at his desk.

This time the Northern Expedition is not a matter of rush, especially since he left the capital in summer, and it has already entered autumn after arriving at Jimen Pass, and now it is almost winter, the weather in the north is cold at this time, so it is not suitable for expedition .

Even if Li Xin wanted to fight, he would have to wait until next spring.

Besides, there was a turning point for this matter, because a few days ago, he received a letter from the heavenly king Yu Wenzhao, agreeing to enter Jizhou City to meet Li Xin.

The four divisions of Yuwen are not monolithic, and even the Helan tribe and the Futu tribe still have some feuds. As the royal family, the Yuwenchu ​​tribe always wants to unify the Yuwen tribe. This is a good opportunity to take advantage of it.

After finishing writing a letter on the desk, Li Xin got up and asked someone to send the family letter of safety back to the capital. go outside.

In the garden, Zhao Fang, dressed in black armor and now a lieutenant of the Zhenbei Army, was waiting for Li Xin with his hands down.

"Your Majesty, what do you want me to do?"

Because the two hadn't seen each other for a while, Li Xin looked the young man up and down.

I haven't seen him for more than a month. Zhao Fang's expression is much more determined than before. I don't know if it is because he has killed someone before. This young man who is not yet 15 years old has a certain aura on him.

Li Xin looked at the wound on his forehead and eye socket, and asked lightly, "Did you fight with someone?"

"Ah."

Zhao Fang nodded and didn't say much.

Li Xin looked calm.

"why?"

"Those people said that the people in our battalion are all child soldiers who can only play house and can't fight."

Zhao Fang gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "I couldn't get angry, so I fought with them."

It is theoretically impossible for a young man under the age of 15 to become a captain of the Zhenbei Army in one fell swoop. After all, the promotion system of the Zhenbei Army is very strict. Without military achievements, you can only get seniority, but Zhao Fang is different. He joined the army "with his own subordinates". The more than 100 people he brought in alone are more than the number of captains in the Zhenbei Army. To save Li Xin's face, he didn't say much.

But the people below don't think so.

A little kid who didn't know where he came from, somehow became a school lieutenant of the Zhenbei Army. Although he didn't care about them, the veterans of the Zhenbei Army would inevitably be upset, and it was inevitable to provoke and fight.

Lord Jing'an nodded, and continued to ask, "Did you lose?"

"Not lost."
