This kind of thing happened in the southwest, and it was impossible for Li Xin to ignore it, but at this time, the delay in communication was too heavy, and it was impossible for him to remotely control the southwest in northern Xinjiang, so if he wanted to deal with this matter, he had to go there in person.

Fortunately, his affairs in the north will not be able to start until the beginning of spring next year at the earliest, and it is November of the eighth year of Taikang, and there are still three or four months before the agreement with Yu Wenzhao, and three or four months is enough for him to go to the southwest.

It doesn't matter if he doesn't have time to come back, the things in the north are not a top priority for him, to say a bad word, this is the Ji family's business, whether to do it or not, it has nothing to do with him.

This is also what chills Li Xin's heart.

He was in the north and took the court seriously, but after he left, the court stabbed his henchmen!

Hearing Li Xin say this, the little grandfather also knew that his uncle might be leaving, and after a pause, he asked, "When will Uncle Shi leave?" ”

Li Xin turned his head to look at the sky outside.

At this time, it was pitch black, it should be the early morning, Li Xin took a deep breath and said, "I'll go lie down for a while, I'll leave at dawn, and I'll leave the matter here to you." ”

Ye Mao smiled bitterly: "Uncle Shi, the great general, is gone, and I am here alone, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it." ”

"It's always okay to defend the city."

Li Xin's face was calm: "Senior Brother Ye went to the southwest and west to take care of the Zhenbei Army and handed over the Zhenbei Army to Senior Brother Xiao Ye to take care of, and there was no problem, you can't hold on to Jimen Pass." ”

Speaking of this, Li Xin hesitated for a moment and let out a long breath.

He looked at Ye Mao deeply.

"You know, I met someone in Jizhou City a few days ago."

Yu Wenzhao was let in by Li Xin and Ye Mao, and this matter could not be hidden from him, but Ye Mao may not know very well that that person is Yu Wenzhao.

He nodded and said, "My nephew knows." ”

"If nothing else, that person should be the Heavenly King Yuwen Zhao in the north, the patriarch of the Yuwen Tribe."

After Li Xin said this, he ignored Ye Mao, who was shocked, and continued: "I have some agreement with him, and now I will tell you." ”

Li Xin's face was calm, and he said his agreement with Yu Wenzhao little by little.

After saying it again, Li Xin looked at Ye Mao.

"Originally, if I wasn't in Northern Xinjiang for this matter, I wouldn't be worried about leaving it to you, but you are a few years older than me, and you will have to take over the Zhenbei Army sooner or later in the future, so I will treat you as the general of the Zhenbei Army and tell you all this."

"At the beginning of spring next year, if I don't come back, then it's up to you to decide whether to do this thing or not, and what to do."

Ye Mao only came back from the shock at this time, and he smiled bitterly: "Uncle Shi, if you still leave a quasi-letter, whether you want to go to the Futu Department in the spring of next year, you say, my nephew just do it." ”

Li Xin slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity.

"This kind of thing has to be dealt with on the spot, you can't arrange it, you think about it yourself, when the time comes, if you think you are only seventy percent sure, then don't do it, stay at Jimen Pass and wait for me to come back, let's wait for the next opportunity."

After saying this, Li Xin looked back at the window again, and at this time, the sky outside was getting white, and it was already a little cloudy.

"Looks like I can't sleep."

Ye Mao was shocked: "Uncle Shi is leaving?" ”

Li Xin did not answer directly, but just spoke lightly.

"After dawn, it's hard to leave."

Since the imperial court will attack the southwest, then it will definitely take into account Li Xin's reaction, and at this time, most of Li Xin's side is already staring at it.

The people in the shadows will not talk about it for the time being, but only say that those forbidden troops that Li Xin brought out from the forbidden army will most likely become the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven at this time.

Ye Mao understood what Li Xin meant by hanging up, and he said in a low voice: "Why don't you sleep for a day today to recuperate, and then leave at night, after all, there is still luggage to pack." ”

Li Xin shook his head.

"If I have money, I don't have to carry any luggage, and I can buy whatever I lack on the road."

As soon as he finished saying this, a deep voice came from outside the door: "Master Hou, the brothers are ready." ”

The people outside were Shen Gang, who Li Xin brought to the north, and there were about 200 people he secretly brought to the north, and this time he secretly left, one could not use the people of the Zhenbei Army, and the other could not use the forbidden army, and even the generals of the Jing'an Hou Mansion brought by Li Xin were not good to take all of them away, at least half of them had to be left here.

Therefore, the best candidates are these people in the shadows.

"Got it."

After Li Xin answered Shen Gang's sentence, he stood up from the chair and patted Ye Mao's shoulder: "You and I are uncles and nephews in name, and we are really brothers, this time, I hope we can all carry it." ”

Ye Mao's face was solemn.

"Uncle Shi, is there a place for the Ye family to help?"

"You just guard the northern frontier."

After speaking, Li Xin took the blue pheasant sword from the sword stand on the side, put it on his waist, and pushed open the door with a step.

Shen Gang, who was dressed in coarse cloth, bowed slightly and waited at the door.

Li Xin's face was calm, and he said, "Let's go." ”

Ye Mao followed out of the room and sent Li Xin to the gate of the garden, until Li Xin turned over the horse Mo Hu, and then he looked at Li Xin deeply: "Uncle Shi, the journey went smoothly." ”

Li Xin glanced back at Ye Mao.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

After saying that, the ink horse galloped away in the southwest direction.

The little grandfather stood at the gate of Jimen Pass, looking at the direction Li Xin left, thoughtfully.

While he was thinking, an old general with a beard and a white beard, I don't know when, stood behind him, his voice a little old.

"Where is he going?"

Ye Mao has been dealing with the owner of this voice for this time, and he is already very familiar with it, so he didn't need to look back, so he said slowly: "I don't know." ”

This person is Ye Xun, the deputy general of the Zhenbei Army, the cousin of Ye Sheng, the old prince, and Ye Mao's uncle.

Ye Mao glanced back at his uncle and said slowly: "Uncle is very well-informed, so he came here without sleeping in the morning. ”

Ye Xun smiled.

"The old man has been in this poor and remote border city for decades, and he is naturally well-informed, besides, our general lives in the old man's garden, if he goes out of the city and the old man doesn't know, isn't it the same as a blind man?"

"The old man not only knew that he was out of the city today, but also knew that he had met a big man in the north a few days ago."

Ye Mao's face changed slightly, and he said in a low voice: "Okay, don't say it." ”

Ye Xun stroked his beard and said indifferently: "Don't worry, the old man is already seventy years old, and he has no other thoughts, before your father leaves, let us treat Li Xin as if he were him, and everyone in the Zhenbei Army remembers your father's words." ”

"In other words, no matter what this kid wants to do in the north, the Zhenbei Army will follow him."

As he spoke, Ye Xun frowned slightly.

"But at this time, what is he doing when he runs out of the city, if he is going to the north, then the old man can understand, but in this direction, it is clear that he is not going to the north......"

Ye Mao took a deep breath.

"Uncle, neither you nor I have been here today, nor have I seen anyone out of the city."

"General, he still lives in your garden and never comes out."
