In the early years, when Li Xin was still a teenager, a large part of the reason why he was able to eat well in the capital was that he was very good at "talking" and sharp teeth, which allowed him to survive in the cracks of the capital.

Now more than ten years have passed, Li Xin had almost no capital back then, only relying on one mouth, and now he has a rolling trend in addition to one mouth.

In the past, Li Xin, every word he said was fluttering, at that time, he could only borrow the momentum everywhere, to borrow the power of the Wei Wangfu, to borrow the power of the Chen Guogong Mansion, but now, he himself is one of the few big forces in the world, and every word he says is as heavy as gold and stone.

Hou Jingde sat opposite Li Xin and was silent for a long time, before he looked up at Li Xin and said, "Brother Li, if this matter fails, you can still flee back to the southwest to be your soil emperor, and there will be no one living in my Hou family." ”

"I can help you, but you have to keep my family safe."

"Naturally, there's no problem with that."

Li Xin said solemnly: "I am in the capital, there are probably hundreds of people, let's do it, only in an instant, when the time comes, I will send someone to protect the safety of my brother's family, once my brother enters the Zuo Battalion Forbidden Army, he is a general with heavy troops, even if he loses, my brother will transfer a team of cronies from the Left Battalion to protect the safety of his family, it is not a difficult thing?" ”

Once Hou Jingde returns to the left camp, even if there is no imperial order, he cannot completely control the entire Zuoying forbidden army, but he has been in the forbidden army for so many years, and some cronies still have him, and as long as one or two thousand people are sent out, his family can be forcibly taken out of the city.

Hou Jingde frowned and thought for a long time, then nodded and said: "If I can go back to Zuoying, then I will have the ability to protect the safety of my family, the problem is that now that the capital is closed, the city must also be densely packed with Tianmu Prison Plum Blossom Guards, Brother Li, how do you send me to the capital?" ”

This is a very real problem, to do this kind of big thing, we must consider all aspects thoroughly, we can't imagine that the people of the court are deaf and blind, how to send Hou Jingde safely to the left camp of the forbidden army in the capital is a very difficult thing.

Li Xin's face was calm, and he said, "I have already thought about this matter. ”

"When the time comes, the younger brother will definitely be able to send the elder brother to the left battalion, and after the elder brother goes back, there is no need to take the left battalion of the forbidden army to rebel with the southwest army, as long as they are not moved, the big thing will be done."

Hou Jingde let out a long sigh and said: "That's it, I also followed you in a daze during the Renchen Palace change back then, and as a result, I have been rich for more than ten years, brother, you have not suffered any losses for so many years, I will believe you again, but there is one thing, you have to promise me." ”

Li Xin said: "Brother Hou just speak." ”

Hou Jingde slowly exhaled a breath and said in a deep voice: "I have two sons, three grandchildren and two granddaughters, once the matter fails, I will send someone to send them out of the city, and when the old man dies, I will die, but my family, you have to help take care of it." ”

"After they follow you to the southwest, you must also give them a bite to eat."

Li Xin immediately nodded, his face serious.

"Don't worry, if things fail, my brother's family will be Li Xin's family, and if the Li family is still alive, they won't suffer."

General Li's face was full of seriousness: "Li Xin has a letter in his name, and he has never broken his promise in his life." ”

Hou Jingde picked up his wine glass and toasted Li Xin.

"There is a brother, you said this, the old brother did it with you!"

The two men collided with their glasses, raised their heads and drank them all.

At that time, Yu Linwei left and right Lang generals, and after 16 years, they joined forces again.

………………

Two days later, in the tent of the commander of the Ningzhou Army camp, the one-armed Chen Sixteen knelt in front of Li Xin and bowed his head slightly: "General, Grandpa Ye has already expressed his position." ”

Li Xin took the letter from Ye Mao handed over by Chen Sixteen, then sighed slightly, and asked, "What about Ye Mao?" ”

"It's still in the north."

Chen Sixteen bowed his head and said: "The defense of Northern Xinjiang is empty, and the Xianbei people are likely to take advantage of the weakness, and Grandpa Ye is rushing around the Northern Frontier, wanting to stop the Xianbei people as much as possible." ”

Li Xin shook his head and said with a wry smile: "The Ye family is really loyal and courageous, and at this time, they are still thinking about the people of Jiangbei. ”

While opening the letter in his hand, he opened his mouth and asked, "Did Ye Mao say anything else?" ”

With his left hand, Chen Sixteen took out a seal stone from his chest and placed it in front of Li Xin, his voice was a little low: "This is what Grandpa Ye asked me to transfer to the general." ”

"He said that the affairs of the capital are all decided by the general."

Li Xin took the seal stone, turned it over and looked at the seal, not surprisingly, it was engraved with the words "Chen Guogong Seal".

It is the great seal of the Chen Guogong Mansion.

With this seal, Li Xin can act in the name of the Ye family, and military generals inside and outside the capital, including He Xiang, and even Ye Xuan, the Marquis of Ningling, will fall to the Southwest Army because of this big seal.

Although Ye Mao did not make a clear statement, he handed over this seal to Li Xin, which means that what the Ye family will do next depends on Li Xin's meaning.

General Li was quite touched in his heart.

In fact, although he has a good relationship with the Ye family, he only has a good relationship with the old man, and between the second generation of the Ye family, Ye Ming and Ye Xuan, there are more allies than brothers, but the third generation of the Ye family, Ye Mao, really regards him as his own.

Li Xin slowly exhaled, wiped this seal with his sleeve, put it in his sleeve very preciously, and then said to Chen Sixteen: "This trip, I have worked hard for you." ”

"It's not hard, it's all within its part."

Li Xin opened Ye Mao's letter, looked down and read it carefully, then raised his head and said to Chen Sixteen: "I want to send the letter to the capital, is there any difficulty?" ”

"Nope."

Chen Sixteen said respectfully: "A vegetable farmer who transports vegetables and fruits to the capital is our own person, and he has to send vegetables and fruits to the capital every two days. ”

Li Xin nodded, took out two pieces of white paper from his desk, and then took out the big seal of Chen Guogong's mansion.

After he dried the seal, he folded the two pieces of paper, handed them to Chen Shiliu, and said in a deep voice: "These two pieces of paper, one to He Xiang and the other to Ye Lan, hand them over, and they will know what they mean." ”

"Remember, you must keep it secret, if someone finds out, no matter how you use the method of wiping your forehead, you will destroy these two pieces of paper immediately."

"My subordinates understand."

Chen Sixteen took the two pieces of paper with both hands and bowed his head.

After he left, Li Xin took out Ye Mao's letter again and read it from the beginning.

Ye Mao's rhetoric is far less gorgeous than his father Ye Ming, nor as deep as his uncle Ye Xuan, who speaks straightforwardly, but it is quite moving.

"Because of the suspicion of the two sides, almost none of them in Jiangbei have ...... to the Jin"

"The land of Jiangbei is my grandfather's life's work, and I must not lose it, and my nephew should defend the land for the country and live and die with Jiangbei."

"If the nephew dies in Jiangbei, the youngest son in the family will be taken care of ......"

At the end of the letter, Ye Mao wrote the last line.

"Jiangbei is empty, my nephew can't go back to Beijing to help my uncle, and everything in Beijing is decided by my uncle."

Li Xin read it back and forth a few times before folding the letter and putting it into his sleeve preciously, and then he let out a long sigh.

"Shame on me and other fame and fortune."
