After Zhao Jia talked to Li Xin, he went to find Ye Mao with his luggage, after all, he also had to go with him this time, and in the afternoon, the general Ye Ming came back from Ye Mao, and Li Xin welcomed him into the camp with a smile.

"They're gone?"

"Gone."

Ye Ming sighed with emotion: "My brother has spent most of his life in the army, and he is rarely afraid of things in his life, but this time, he is really worried about Mao'er." ”

This is not surprising, even when Ye Ming was twenty-two or three years old, he did not have the experience of leading a large army of tens of thousands of people to the battle, and Ye Mao was his only son, so it was inevitable to worry.

Li Xin smiled and shook his head: "Senior brother said this, it should be those Northern Zhou clans who should be worried, how can there be any reason to worry about the knife being wounded?" ”

"That's right."

Ye Ming sat down and sighed with emotion: "Chang'an, after you become a parent, you can understand your brother's current mood, for fear that Mao'er will make something wrong on the road, and he is a little apprehensive." ”

"Senior brother, don't worry."

Li Xin lowered his eyebrows and said: "The junior brother has been with Ye Mao for a long time, he is not a bad person, he should not make a mistake, besides, even if something goes wrong, those Northern Zhou clans can still gnaw a fold Chong Mansion?" ”

Ye Ming smiled, got up and patted Li Xin's shoulder.

"According to Your Majesty's intentions, in the next period of time, Brother Wei will familiarize himself with the forbidden army here in Chang'an, and in the future, the two of us brothers can get along well, go, don't mention these bad things, accompany Brother Wei to have a few drinks."

Li Xin smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Senior Brother Ye, don't be joking, you are not allowed to drink alcohol in the army." ”

"It's not wartime, how can there be so many rules."

Saying that, Ye Shaobao was about to pull Li Xin to drink, Li Xin's face was solemn, and he bowed his head and said, "Senior brother, junior brother will go back to the capital in the afternoon." ”

Ye Mingda frowned: "Chang'an, what do you mean by this?" ”

Li Xin smiled and said, "If I leave the forbidden army, senior brother can better familiarize himself with the forbidden army, right?" Senior brother rest assured, the junior brother has already greeted the deputy general Lan Geng, and in the next few days, Lan Geng will take the senior brother to take a look at the various Zhechong mansions. ”

Speaking of this, Li Xin paused and continued.

"The external saying is, senior brother, you are in charge of the right battalion of the forbidden army."

Ye Ming's face became serious, and he shook his head slowly.

"Senior brother, this is not right, although my brother is in charge of the army outside, he is not a barbaric person, this right battalion of the forbidden army is your soldier, even if I go west in the future, I will only lead you Li Chang'an, not the right battalion of the forbidden army."

He pulled Li Xin's sleeve with a solemn expression.

"It's what it should be, and you can't be wronged just because you have a relationship with your father."

Li Xin smiled helplessly: "Senior brother, you misunderstood, the younger brother has to go back to the capital." ”

"Why?"

General Ye still had a serious face.

"Because I'm getting married."

Li Xin smiled and said: "Senior brother may not know yet, Your Majesty has already communicated with the younger brother, it should be a year ago, the younger brother is going to marry the eldest princess of Qinghe, and now it is November, calculating the time, at most it will be more than a month, the younger brother is still unprepared in the Hou Mansion, and the younger brother can't let the younger brother dry to marry a royal princess, right?" ”

Ye Ming's brows furrowed.

He said slowly: "Chang'an, you... Do you really want to be a colt? ”

Li Xin nodded, a little helpless.

"Your Majesty has personally spoken, what can I do."

Speaking of this, Hou Ye Li remembered an old thing, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, Master Ye still wanted to marry my senior brother's daughter to me, but I couldn't agree at that time for some reasons, otherwise at this time, the younger brother should have changed his name to Senior Brother Father-in-law." ”

Ye Ming has a son and two daughters in the capital, of which the eldest daughter Ye Xuan has confirmed that she wants to marry into the palace as an imperial concubine, after all, this is one of the conditions that "His Royal Highness the King of Wei" promised the Ye family, but because the emperor wants to keep filial piety to the first emperor, this Ye imperial concubine can only marry into the palace twenty-seven months after the death of the first emperor. (As mentioned earlier, one of the conditions for the Wei Wangfu to win over the Ye family was to marry the daughter of the Ye family,)

That is, she can enter the palace in the spring of the third year of Taikang at the earliest.

And Ye Ming's other daughter, Old Man Ye was ready to marry Li Xinlai, but at that time, Li Xin had already known the Ninth Princess, so he had no choice but to refuse.

Ye Ming didn't know about this, he was stunned when he heard this, and then said with a wry smile: "If you can really have a son-in-law like Chang'an, you don't have to worry about Ye Mao as a brother." ”

Li Xin laughed.

"It's okay now, the junior brother can be higher."

Calculate the seniority, after the Son of Heaven and the young lady of the Ye family get married, His Majesty the Emperor will still call Li Xin Uncle Shi, but this kind of secular seniority has no effect in front of the emperor, after all, no matter how big the generation is, it is not as big as the eldest son of the Heavenly Son.

And Li Xin is going to marry the sister of Taikang Tianzi, so that everyone will be even.

Ye Ming patted Li Xin's shoulder and lowered his voice.

"Chang'an."

Li Xin became serious: "Senior brother, please have something to say." ”

"Being a brother means that if you don't have to, it's better not to be a colt."

Ye Shaobao exhaled slowly and said: "As a brother, I was born in Jiangmen, and since I was a child, I have played with those Jiangmen's children in the capital, and I have also met a lot of people, these people of the same age as me, several of them have married princesses, but after becoming a concubine, they have no future, and can only serve the princess at home." ”

"You are a capable person, you must have something to do, because my brother can't bear to see you, he will be a captain at home."

Li Xin shook his head and said with a smile: "The matter has been decided, it is useless to regret it at this time, and as for the future, no one can say clearly." ”

"Even if it's really as my brother said, it's not bad to be a rich idler at home for a lifetime."

Speaking of this, Li Xin got up and arched his hand: "There are still a lot of things to be busy in the capital, the junior brother will rush back first, and when the wedding date is set, the younger brother will send a post to the senior brother." ”

Ye Ming was silent for a while, and nodded helplessly.

"I will definitely go for my brother."

He sent Li Xin all the way to the gate of the camp, and before Li Xin got on the horse, he secretly took out a booklet from his sleeve and stuffed it in Ye Ming's hand, and then Li Houye lowered his voice.

"Senior brother, this is the treasure I gave you, take it."

Ye Ming frowned, and just as he wanted to say something, Li Xin had already turned around and got on his horse and rode away.

Lan Geng, the deputy general of the right battalion of the forbidden army, stood behind Ye Ming and bowed his head respectfully: "General, General Li asked the last general to take you to inspect the various Zhechong Mansions." ”

When facing Li Xin, the generals of these forbidden armies must have been dissatisfied in their hearts, but when they faced Ye Ming, they didn't dare to do anything anymore.

After all, standing in front of them was Chen Guogong Ye Sheng's eldest son, the general of the Zhenbei Army, and Ye Shaobao of the current dynasty! To put it mildly, with Ye Ming's identity, even if he is transferred to the forbidden army, it should be Pei Jin's original position, and he only takes one of the right battalions of the forbidden army, and he is still wronged by his old man!

That's where seniority comes in.

Ye Ming looked at the direction of Li Xin's departure silently, and then reached out and touched the booklet in his sleeve, thoughtfully.

After a long time, he looked back at Lan Geng, the lieutenant with a humble expression behind him.

"Today, I'm tired, I want to rest."
