Zhao Yi entered the capital smoothly, and it seemed that it was very smooth, but behind his back, it was Li Xin's dark department in the capital, and he was sent in at the risk of being exposed.

Li Xin has lived in the capital for almost ten years in these years, and the dark parts in the capital are also the places where he spends the most effort, some of these dark parts are the shopkeepers of restaurants, some are the owners of antique shops, and some are errand people who are used by Li Xin to arrange errands in various yamen, and even ......

There are also some that after the change of Renchen Palace, they were promoted from Yulinwei to the "Yulinwei family" among the yamen.

After all, the imperial court is not deaf and blind, the imperial court has Tianmu Supervisor, there is a plum blossom guard, and there are many unknown ears and eyes hidden in the shadows, and it is a great risk to arrange people to enter the capital at this time.

This is also the reason why Li Xin himself did not enter the capital.

With the efforts of I don't know how many people, Zhao Yi finally entered Willow Square and met the people he wanted to see.

This person is the old man in front of him, He Xiang, General He.

He Xiang, in the early years, was under the command of General Ye Ming, the captain of the Zhenbei Army, and made countless contributions in the military tent, and later because of the pursuit and killing of the Xianbei tribesmen who invaded the border, the little finger of his right hand was shot down by the Xianbei people, and since then he has been unable to hold the weapon steadily, and he has not been able to pull the bowstring steadily, so he retreated from the front line of the Zhenbei Army, entered the Chen Guo Mansion, and sat the family general of the Chen Guo Mansion.

In the first year of Taikang, Taikang Tianzi and Li Xin plotted to control the forbidden army, and finally succeeded in carrying Pei Jin into the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and Li Xin himself sat in the position of the general of the right battalion of the forbidden army as he wished, but at that time, Li Xin was only eighteen years old, and he had no experience in leading troops, so he was not very easy to control the forbidden army.

He Siong is one of them.

Among the eight generals of the Chen Guogong Mansion that year, he was the first to be the lieutenant of Fangshan Zhichong Mansion, and later after following Li Xin's expedition to the west, he became the deputy general of the right battalion of the forbidden army, helping Li Xin to take care of the right battalion of the forbidden army.

At that time, Li Xin led the right battalion of the forbidden army to the west, and successfully conquered the southwest, because the credit was too heavy, he needed to avoid suspicion, and the old man Ye also let him hide his edge, so in those years, although Li Xin hung the position of the general of the right battalion of the forbidden army, he rarely really went to the right battalion of the forbidden army to deal with military affairs, and the one who was really in charge of the right battalion of the forbidden army was this general He Xianghe.

Later, Li Xin retired from the position of the general of the right battalion of the forbidden army, and He Xiang also took over this position as a matter of course and became a veritable general of the right battalion, and for a long time afterward, he was the head of the right battalion of the forbidden army.

Until the Yuan Zhao period, he was still the general of the right battalion of the forbidden army.

It was not until the end of last year that the Southwest Army officially left Shu, and He Xiang was taken the opportunity by the Son of Heaven to take away the position of the general of the right battalion because he was "old" with Li Xin and was from the Duke of Chen's mansion, so that he could be idle in the capital.

However, when he followed Li Xin, he was already forty years old, and more than ten years later, he was already fifty-five or sixteen years old, and he had also reached the age of "retirement".

Now, there is no Ye family in Chen Guogong's mansion, and it is impossible for him to go back, plus He Xiang has also established his own family business over the years, so he lived in Willow Square and enjoyed his "retirement" life.

When Zhao Yi, a young man, stood in front of him and called him "General He", He Xiang was stunned at first, and then asked, "Who is Xiao Langjun?" ”

Zhao Yi saluted respectfully to He Xiang and arched his hand: "The younger generation is from the southwest. ”

With this sentence, He Xiang's face changed immediately, he was originally sitting under the big willow tree in the willow shop, and when he heard the words, he immediately stood up, first looked left and right, and after not finding anyone nearby staring, he slowly walked towards his home.

"The old man doesn't know anyone from the Southwest."

He Xiang coughed twice, and his voice was a little hoarse.

"It's not early, the old man is going home."

Zhao Yi was not surprised by this situation, after all, at this juncture, everyone in the capital is in danger, and everyone is cautious, which is also a matter of course.

He walked towards He Xiang, and then quietly took out the seal letter handed to him by Li Xin and handed it to the old general.

This seal is not large, only the size of an adult's thumb, and is made of jasper, with four Yin inscriptions engraved on it.

Chang'an private seal.

In this era, a man often has a lot of seals, in addition to the official seal, there are also seals with names, names, and nicknames. For example, when Li Xin was in Beijing, because there were too many titles, he had more than ten seals, but this seal was quite special.

Li Xin's expression Chang'an was given to him by his husband Ye Sheng, and this seal was also given to Li Xin by Ye Sheng.

After getting this seal, He Xiang didn't say anything, just silently put the seal into his sleeve, and his voice was inaudible.

"After sunset, come to the back door of my house ......"

After saying this, the old general floated away and took Li Xin's private seal with him.

…………

After sunset, Zhao Yi waited at the back door of He Xiang's house with his hands down, and waited until it was darker before a member of the He family led him in.

After walking in the backyard of the He family for a while, Zhao Yi was taken to the door of a study, and the subordinate who led him bowed respectfully to the study: "Master, the person has brought it." ”

"Got it, you go down."

The subordinate hurriedly retreated, and Zhao Yi reached out and knocked on the door, and only after getting permission did he push the door and walk in.

This is He Xiang's study, but it doesn't look like a study, there is a longbow in the study, as well as spears and swords, which looks more like an armory.

After Zhao Yi entered, He Xiang pointed to the stool in the study and said, "Sit down and talk." ”

Zhao Yi sat down in a proper manner.

He Xiang looked Zhao Yi up and down at this time, and asked, "Who is Hou Ye Li who is Xiao Langjun?" ”

Zhao Yigong bowed respectfully: "It's the younger father-in-law." ”

"Oh."

He Xiang nodded and said, "A hero is a young man, Xiao Langjun is at such an age, it is really rare to dare to sneak into the capital at this time." ”

Speaking of this, He Xiang paused and continued: "I remember that when I first met Hou Ye Li in Chen Guogong's Mansion, Hou Ye Li was almost the same age as Xiao Langjun. ”

He sighed for a while, sighed, and asked, "Xiao Langjun took such a big risk to come to the capital to see me, an old man, I don't know what the so-called thing is?" ”

Zhao Yi was a little nervous in his heart, but there was no expression on his face, he looked up at He Xiang, and said in a deep voice: "The kid is to bring a few words to the old general for his father-in-law." ”

He Xiang frowned slightly.

"I don't know what Master Hou commands?"

Zhao Yi took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said: "What is the situation outside the capital now, the old general should also know in his heart that the forbidden army is not the opponent of the Southwest Army, the four Zhichong mansions that went out of the city to meet the enemy a few days ago are all soldiers of the right battalion of the forbidden army, all of them are the old general's old department, and if they continue to fight, the forbidden army will die more people, what the righteous father means, please ask the old general to take care of the overall situation......"

"The old man has been under the command of Hou Ye Li for nearly ten years, and if Hou Ye has any orders, he should naturally follow them......"

Speaking of this, He Xiang smiled bitterly: "It's just that at the end of last year, the old man resigned from the right battalion of the forbidden army, and now he is just an ordinary grass man in the capital, even if he wants to help Li Houye, he is also powerless." ”

These words were obviously a resignation, and Li Xin also knew that He Xiang was no longer in his position, but he had been a de facto general in the right camp of the forbidden army for more than ten years, and the contacts he had accumulated had exceeded the documents of the imperial court.

Therefore, Li Xin asked Zhao Yi to venture into Beijing to find him.

Once he opened his mouth, he could control the right camp of the forbidden army to a certain extent, not to mention letting them turn against each other, as long as they did not move, Li Xin would be sure enough to enter the capital.

Zhao Yi lowered his head and said in a quiet tone: "The old general, Hou Jingde of the left battalion of the forbidden army, has joined forces with his father-in-law......
