In Yizhou city, there was a lot of joy. Even though the Saimo army captured Yizhou city before and did not take action against ordinary people, they lived cautiously all the time, for fear that they would offend the Saimo army one day.Because the people of Saimo moved into Yizhou City to live, their houses were forced to be given up. If there was a dispute with the people of Saimo on weekdays, even if the other party was at fault first, they would be targeted because they were from the Yanqing Kingdom.

Therefore, in the days of Yizhou City, the lives of the people seem to be peaceful on the surface, but in fact they live every day tremblingly like walking on thin ice.

Now that Yizhou City has returned to the jurisdiction of the Zhennan Army, the people in the city are extremely happy, even the Li family, who no longer have to do complicated and heavy work because of the Saimo Army's attack, are also very happy.

Different from Li Baixi's happy expression, although Li Bing is happy that Yizhou City has finally been taken back, he is also worried about his future life.

"The Zhennan army is in control of Yizhou again. We are exiled prisoners. I'm afraid that in the future..." Li Bing expressed his worries, and then looked up at the big family in front of him.

At any rate, when the Saimo Army was still there, they could live in ordinary houses, which would allow the family to live a life of food and clothing. If the Zhennan Army ruled Yizhou again, I am afraid they would have to return to the house where they could not escape the wind and cold when they were exiled. Here, once again doing menial labor to survive.

Even if he saw Li Bing's expression, as a married couple, he naturally understood what he was thinking. He couldn't help but sighed, and continued to massage the temples of Li Lin who was worried, and comforted him: "Old lady, don't go too far." Don't worry, no matter how bad it is, there will still be Master, Sheng'er, and Sheng'er. Don't worry too much, just take care of yourself."

Li Lin took Lian Ruyi's hand, patted it softly a few times, and said with a sigh: "Ruyi, you have always understood the general situation. As a big house, you have added a male to our Li family. It is really a blessing for our Li family. But It’s just that Sheng’er and Sheng’er are the only men in our Li family who are not prosperous, and it’s really embarrassing for them to support the family.”

These words were not shy at all, and the three aunts on the side heard them directly, and the expressions of all three were not good.

Both of the two aunts had only one daughter, and they had no children, but their daughters were all working as official prostitutes in Yanjing. Sometimes they felt very distressed when they thought of this, and now they still have to listen to Li Lin's words. Sarcasm, naturally feel uncomfortable.

And Qin Xiangyu was hurt by Li Lin's words. She was the only one among the group of aunts who gave birth to a son, but the son's life and death were unknown. Weak, unable to speak at home, not daring to contradict Li Lin, he could only lower his head and wipe his tears silently.

Aunt Mo is the youngest aunt, the youngest, and she was the most favored by Li Bing when she was still in the Li Mansion in Yanjing. Naturally, she has a bit of a heart, and she is also smart enough to know that she can't directly contradict Li Lin, so she only dared to bow her head on the sidelines. Qin Xiangyu, who was wiping away tears, spoke.

"Aunt Qin, don't be sad. Yao'er is a good child. If he were here, I'm afraid he would be able to take care of himself." On the surface, it was comforting, but in fact it reminded Li Lin that it was not Dafanglian Ruyi who could give birth to a son.

Hearing this, Qin Xiangyu became more and more sad, tears kept pouring out, and said sadly: "Yes... If he is still here..."

Seeing Aunt Qin wiping tears, Li Lin's face turned down, knowing that Aunt Mo was contradicting him secretly, so he had to use Aunt Qin to get angry: "Don't mention it again. Everyone has gone, so there is nothing else to mention. No one is here, so I can't help you, and it's useless to think about it. You too, stop your crying temper, and let others see our Li family's jokes!"

Qin Xiangyu had no choice but to cover her mouth and bow her head, but tears still flowed out uncontrollably.

After all, that was the son she had finally given birth to after she was pregnant in October. He was a blood relative, so how could he just forget it.

Lian Ru thought Qin Xiangyu was like this, as a mother, she couldn't bear it, and when she wanted to persuade her, two people rushed in from outside the door, it was Li Sheng and Li Sheng, and said to them:

"Father! The captain is here!"

The complexion of the whole family changed, they all thought that they were going to restore their status as exiled prisoners. The superficially calm has actually prepared for the worst.

Li Bingyi saw that the people outside the door were wearing military uniforms, with bright eyes and a handsome face. It was obvious that they had cleaned up a lot. There were still many gift boxes in both hands, and several soldiers were also carrying things behind them.

This is actually Fan Yizhi's second visit to Li's house, but the last time was in the dilapidated thatched cottage, and Li Bing was not there.This time he came again, unexpectedly the Li family lived in an ordinary house, and looking at the clothes and faces of Li Bing, Li Sheng and the other three, they seemed to be living better than before. take care of.

Why is this?

Li Bing saw that he looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who he was for a while. After all, he was only building the city walls before, and he didn't have much contact with these captains. Judging by Fan Yizhi's expression and the things in his hands, he didn't know who he was. As if to restore their status as exiled prisoners, they couldn't help asking tentatively: "The captain came to our house in person, I don't know why?"

Fan Yizhi waved to the soldiers behind him to bring things up, and seeing their nervousness, he smiled and comforted them and said, "Don't be nervous, I'm just here to visit you on behalf of someone."

"Visit us on behalf of someone?" Li Bing and Li Sheng looked at each other, obviously confused, and asked, "Who is it?"

Fan Yizhi didn't say anything, looked into the room, and asked, "Are you the only ones here? Where are the female relatives?"

Li Bing said: "The family members are in the house. The captain wants to see them. I will call them out right away."

Fan Yizhi hurriedly stopped him: "You don't need to come out on purpose, we can just go in. This time I came here to bother you, so I shouldn't bother you."

"That's right, you should let the Captain enter the room and sit down. I was negligent, and I hope the Captain is not to blame." Li Bing hurriedly entered the room to welcome Fan Yizhi and others.

As soon as Fan Yizhi entered the room and sat down, the female relatives immediately poured tea and brought it to him, and carefully retreated to Li Bing's side to stand. Only Li Bing and the elderly Li Lin were sitting.

Aunt Qin stood at the far side with her hands down, looking at Fan Yizhi out of the corner of her eye, she thought he looked familiar.

Fan Yizhi caught her gaze and smiled at her gently, she quickly lowered her head in shock.Seeing this, Li Lin thought that Aunt Qin had offended Fan Yizhi, and immediately apologized with a smile: "My lord, don't be surprised, she has always been so ignorant, you must not be as knowledgeable as her." Then she turned to Aunt Qin and said : "Quickly apologize to the adults!"

Aunt Qin said in a low voice: "I still... I hope you don't blame me..."

Fan Yizhi frowned, and stopped her words aloud: "There is no need to make amends, you have done nothing wrong, so why do you need to make amends."

Unexpectedly, after such a long time, the family's attitude towards Li Yao's mother is still the same, and it has not changed at all.He thought of Li Yao's filial piety for giving everything to Aunt Qin, and felt a little angry for Li Yao at this moment.

After capturing Xia Yizhou this time, he dealt with the negotiations with Sai Moji's family. In his busy schedule, he remembered that he had promised Li Yao to help him visit his family, so he shaved the beard that he hadn't managed for many days, and returned Changed into a clean military uniform and came to visit.

In fact, he didn't know this kind of psychology well, but somehow he wanted to make a good impression in front of Li Yao's family.

Seeing Fan Yizhi's face slightly sullen, Li Lin didn't know how he had offended the captain, so he looked at his son Li Bing and asked him to make a rescue.

Li Bing laughed and said: "My mother is old, and sometimes she has a bit of a temper. I hope you don't blame me." Then he said to Aunt Qin: "Aunt Qin, please step down."

Aunt Qin felt aggrieved, but she didn't dare to say more, so she turned around and wanted to back down.

Fan Yizhi frowned even tighter, without concealing it, and finally said: "Aunt Qin is still staying, my visit this time is related to you."

"Me?" Aunt Qin looked puzzled.

Li Lin's first reaction was: "Could it be that you offended my lord? She has always been careless..." She couldn't speak the words after that, because Fan Yizhi glanced at her fiercely, freezing her instantly.

"I'm here to visit you in the name of Li Yao."

This time, he selfishly only pointed at Aunt Qin.

Hearing Li Yao's name, the atmosphere was dull for a moment. After all, the Li family thought Li Yao was dead.

With tears in her eyes, Aunt Qin excitedly wanted to rush to Fan Yizhi to ask, but she didn't dare, and asked, "My lord, you mean... that Yao'er..."

Before she finished speaking, Fan Yizhi nodded, affirmed her thoughts, and said with a smile: "He is still alive, and..." Seeing the surprised expressions on everyone's faces, he said with a proud tone for some reason: "He is now a Zhennan Army Infantry Battalion General!"

Aunt Qin's eyes widened in disbelief, she covered her mouth, and looked at Fan Yizhi fixedly, then she was overwhelmed with surprise... fainted! !

Until Fan Yizhi was sent away, the Li family still couldn't believe what they had just heard.

Who would have thought that the weakest and most unfavored concubine in the past has now become the mighty general of the Zhennan Army?

The two aunts looked at the happy Aunt Qin who just woke up and smiled with mixed feelings. They never expected that the aunt they looked down on the most, now her son turned out to be the most promising.

Apart from the shock at the beginning, Li Lin quickly regained her composure, but with a smile all over her face, she kept holding Aunt Qin's hand and said, "The ancestors of the Li family should bless you, otherwise Yao'er would not be so promising." kind of discourse.The smile on Aunt Qin's face froze a bit, but she wouldn't attack because of her temper.

Li Baixi's family lived next to the house. Seeing that Li Bing's family was so happy, Li Baixi's wife, Lu Yanran, stepped forward and asked a few indirect questions. Li Lin's family had always had some issues with Lu Yanran, so at this moment, she naturally told Li Yao in a showy tone. things.

Lu Yanran was shocked but also a little envious, but she didn't show it. When she went back and saw her husband, Li Baixi, she began to miss her son-in-law.

"Mo'er has been away for so many years, and I don't know how she is doing..." Lu Yanran's expression was sad.

"Don't be overheard by others, or you will think that we still know Mo'er's whereabouts, and you will be in trouble when the time comes. He has always been a man with ideas, I think he will be fine."

"Then he has to send a message... After all, I'm also his mother..." Lu Yanran also murmured a few words and didn't say anything more, just seeing the Li family reunion, she couldn't help thinking about her.

Fan Yizhi saw that before the Li family returned to the barracks, he still went to the house where Sai Mo's hostages were held.

Outside the door is guarded by soldiers, even if the people inside are not locked, they cannot escape.

Entering the room, the person who catches the eye still has the silver mask on his face, and he is still sitting at the table, as if he has never moved his body.

"Here we come." Li Mo seemed to have known that he would come.

"We have contacted Saimo with a secret letter. If it goes well, you can go back in a few days."

Li Mo said with a smile: "Presumably they have already agreed to your request? It should be that they only made peace with you, and returned the city and goods, right? This way you will have a better chance of winning the fight with the court."

Since recapturing Yizhou and capturing Ji Wenbai and Princess Yin Nanyun, the process of negotiating with Saimo has been extremely smooth. The emperor of Saimo is old and no longer brave and timid. He is more willing to negotiate peace with several cities and horses. , and because Ji Wenbai was captured, and the prince was still young and about to ascend the throne, the Ji family did not want to waste time and troops to attack Yanqing, so they agreed to the request of the Zhennan Army.

All of this is a secret agreement between Sai Mo and the Zhennan Army, and has nothing to do with the court. This is enough to show that the Zhennan Army has decided to fall out with the court.

Fan Yizhi didn't answer, he can't say these things, even if the other party has already guessed, he can't respond, let alone he didn't come for this matter.

"Who the hell are you? You don't seem to be from Saimo." Fan Yizhi saw that Li Mo didn't have the toughness of the Saimo people, but more of a refined elegance, obviously different from Ji Wenbo, more like the son of Yanjing.

"So what if it is, so what if it's not..." There was a bleak smile under the silver mask.

"If it's not from Saimo, then why did you help them attack the city?" Fan Yizhi's eyes were sharp. To him, if he was from Yanqing, attacking his own family was undoubtedly a despicable act.

"You want to know?" Li Mo looked at him with still water in his eyes, and said, "Okay, I will tell you everything, but can you promise me one thing first?"

"what's up?"

"Call Li Baixi over for me later."

At the last moment, he wanted to meet his relatives as Li Mo, instead of the disgusting Saimo military division who could only hide himself.

--------------

Qi Muye has received the news that Sai Mo agreed to negotiate a peace agreement. In addition to the city, he will also send many horses over. This will undoubtedly be the most important thing for training the cavalry in the south of the town.Moreover, Qi Muye had already sent a letter to King Nan about the matter of military supplies. Seeing that the Zhennan Army had repelled the Saimo Army one after another, Nan Wang believed in Qi Muye's strength and was willing to contribute money and grain to support the Zhennan Army, but It was only done in secret. After all, the imperial court was watching his movements, so he couldn't place all his bets on Qi Muye. If necessary, he could submit to the imperial court in time to save his life.

At the same time, in addition to increasing the tens of thousands of soldiers at Tiansuoguan, Qi Muye also started conscription in several cities managed by the town. Tiansuoguan is also under the Zhennan Army.

But only Tiansuoguan was so smooth, Wei Junyu didn't give him a chance to breathe, he had already passed on the order to all the cities, and if he found out that he was in collusion with the Zhennan Army, he would be killed without mercy.At the same time, the imperial army has been dispatched to crusade against the Zhennan Army's crime of treason, listing Qi Muye's several crimes to the world, and he is determined to get rid of the Zhennan Army.

The cavalry has horses, supplies, and money, and its strength is gradually increasing. The only thing missing is the most important thing.

That is the iron ore material for forging weapons.

And their initial intention to occupy Tiansuoguan was just to better obtain iron ore materials or weapons from Feng'an Kingdom.

General Mo said: "I am afraid that the emperor has already communicated with Feng'an State to ask Feng'an State not to provide iron ore to our Zhennan Army."

After pondering for a while, Qi Muye asked, "What if it's in private?"

"Privately?" They occupy the Tiansuo Pass, so it is naturally convenient to receive the goods. The problem is...

"Who should I trade in private with?" And this person must have a certain ability and status to control iron ore in Feng'an country, otherwise the amount cannot support such a large army's weapon forging materials.

Qi Muye already had a candidate in his heart, and that person once took them out of Yanjing...

According to the other party's attitude towards him at the beginning, if the transaction was requested in his name, it is estimated that the other party would not pay attention to him.

When Li Yao caught Qi Muye's gaze, he immediately met his eyes and asked, "Why?"

Qi Muye didn't know how to speak, and in the end he could only say, "Forget it."

Li Yao said, "You want me to write to my friend?"

"friend?"

"Well, it's Xiao Zhengyue." In Li Yao's heart, Xiao Zhengyue is equal to a friend. After all, he was the first "friend" he made after coming here. Xiao Zhengyue gave him too much "friend impression". profound.

Since there were other generals present, Qi Muye couldn't say clearly, so he pushed them away and talked to Li Yao alone.

Song Ruyu was very curious about who this Xiao Zhengyue was, but seeing that Qi Muye didn't want to reveal it, she temporarily suppressed her curiosity and planned to ask Li Yao later.

"This matter...may still need your help." Qi Muye was a little bit embarrassed, after all, he had already received a lot of help from Li Yao, just like the time he escaped from Yanjing, this time he was a little embarrassed.

In fact, it is more of a sense of shame of being powerless to oneself.

Li Yao agreed without thinking: "Yes."

The love intelligence brain immediately jumped out to remind him of his character: "You once said that friendship is pure, and you will not take advantage of your friends!"

Li Yao took it for granted: I didn't take advantage of it, I just asked for help.Didn't you say that friends should help each other?

Love Wisdom Brain: "...you are treating people differently."

Li Yao ignored the love brain, and said to Qi Muye, "I can write a letter, but are you sure Xiao Zhengyue can agree? And he might not be able to get iron ore. He hasn't ascended the throne yet."

Qi Muye was a little surprised, and then he understood, and said: "You don't have any information from Feng'an country, no wonder you don't know. Xiao Zhengyue has already gained the upper hand in this establishment. He was established as the prince not long ago. He is the one who will ascend to the throne soon."

This made Li Yao somewhat unexpected. After all, Xiao Zhengyue had always been in a low-intelligence state in front of him. He won the battle for the throne. It seemed that his intelligence was not only normal, but a little higher than normal.

Now that he was sure, Li Yao called someone to bring a pen and paper, and started writing.But after Li Yao finished writing, Qi Muye found it difficult to read the letter.

"Do you have any tokens to prove your identity?"

Li Yao nodded and said, "Yes."

That was the jade pendant given by Xiao Zhengyue.

Qi Muye observed that the jade pendant was not an ordinary item, it was cool and slippery, the whole body was green and crystal clear, and the word "Xiao" was engraved on it.

"It's not yours, is it?"

"Yeah." Li Yao nodded.

"Xiao Zhengyue gave it to you?"

Li Yao nodded again.

Qi Muye grasped the jade pendant, put it together with the letter, and said, "Okay, I'll send this to someone."

What he was thinking was to send back the token of love that the other party gave Li Yao, so that Xiao Zhengyue would not have any unreasonable thoughts.

After this matter was settled, Li Yao went down to continue training soldiers, Qi Muye called Li Yao to stop with some anxiety.

Li Yao looked back at him: "Is there anything else?"

Qi Muye looked away, and asked with some frustration: "Am I very useless to you?"

Li Yao asked, "Why do you think so?"

"Because... I seem to need your help all the time..." Qi Muye smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Actually..." Li Yao rarely paused, looked at Qi Muye, and gave him affirmation in Qi Muye's gaze.

"Yes."

"..."

But when he left the study, the calm tone sounded again.

"However, if you can get others to help you, that is also a kind of strength." Not everyone can get help, at least letting him help is also a kind of strength.

Qi Muye suddenly looked up, Li Yao had already opened the door and left.

Just now... is that consolation?

Qi Muye raised the corners of his mouth, let's say it.
