Chapter 57: Sleepless Night
With this promise of the old man Ye, Li Xin left the Chen Guogong Mansion, and together with Wang Zhong, personally sent the seventeen old pawns back to the house one by one, and when the last old farmer who lived in the suburbs of Beijing was picked up by his great-grandson, Li Xin looked at the back of the old man and let out a long breath.
"Master, let's go back."
Comparatively speaking, although Wang Zhong is not young, he has been practicing Neijiaquan diligently since he was a child, and the lethality of Neijiaquan is much inferior to that of external kung fu, so that when he was in the army forty years ago, Wang Zhong, who had practiced martial arts since childhood, was not Ye Sheng's opponent when he fought, but this kind of kung fu with breathing and nourishing qi, the more it goes to the back, the more beneficial it is.
Although the old man Wang also had gray hair, he walked steadily and breathed long, and Li Xin even suspected that he couldn't beat the old man's hand now.
But Lao Wang Zhong's face was not very good-looking.
He honestly and unceremoniously walked in front of Li Xin and spoke slowly.
"Ye Shuai's body is terrible......"
He spoke in a low voice.
"I have been in contact with Ye Shuai for a long time, and I found that his breathing fluctuates, and he has no strength under his feet, and sometimes he often closes his eyes to rest."
"The reason why he keeps his eyes closed is probably not because he thinks about things, but because he is dizzy."
Wang Zhong stopped, glanced back at Li Xin, who was walking quietly, and said in a deep voice: "Chang'an, what happened to Ye Shuai?" ”
Li Xin was silent for a moment, and then spoke: "Since last autumn, there has been a problem, I have found a famous doctor in Hanzhong for his old man, and he has been recuperating at home these days. ”
Speaking of this, Li Xin didn't say any more.
This afternoon, Wang Zhong and the others did bring danger to Ye Sheng's life, but this matter cannot be said explicitly, once it is explained, most of these seventeen old soldiers, including Wang Zhong, will not survive.
They will kill themselves with guilt.
Lao Wang Zhong took a deep breath and didn't say anything.
Li Xin chased after him, followed him, and said in a low voice: "Master Wang, tomorrow I will have someone send you some money, and you can help distribute the money to these old soldiers." ”
Wang Zhong didn't stop, but asked lightly, "Why?" ”
The Marquis of Jing'an said helplessly: "Master Ye ordered." ”
Wang Zhong's face changed.
"Then I don't."
"I didn't let you ask for it."
Li Xin smiled at Wang Zhong and said: "You are also the Zuo Lang general of Yulinwei, not to mention the wealth and wealth on weekdays, at least enough for your drinking expenses, but other people, if you can, you can help." ”
"You don't want to see Master Ye sad, do you?"
Wang Zhong paused for a moment, then nodded silently.
The two separated near Datongfang, Wang Zhong returned to the Yulinwei camp, while Li Xin returned to his Jing'an Hou Mansion.
When Li Xin returned to the house, it was already midnight, he simply ate something, washed up, and went back to the backyard to rest.
In the small courtyard of the backyard, the eldest princess was holding Li Ping, the little son of the Hou Mansion, coaxing him to sleep, and after hearing the voice of Li Xin coming over, the eldest princess sitting on the edge of the bed moved to the side and said softly: "Why did you come back so late?" ”
When Li Xin walked in, she saw clearly the black green on Li Xin's left eye, the eldest princess exclaimed, hurriedly put down the little son in her arms, walked to Li Xin's side, looked at Li Xin's eyes seriously, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
The Marquis of Jing'an shook her hand with a smile and said, "I accidentally punched someone, it's no big deal, it'll be fine in two days, as for why I came back so late......"
He sighed.
"Those old people, we have to send them back one by one."
Today, the eldest princess also went to the Ye family, and the seventeen old pawns gathered in the Chen Guogong Mansion, she naturally knew.
Li Xin smiled: "If they lose one or two, Master Ye won't eat me alive?" ”
The eldest princess saw that Li Xin was indeed fine, so she relieved her heart, nodded and said with a smile: "I grew up listening to Master Ye's stories since I was a child, and I always felt that Master Ye was a fierce and domineering murderer. ”
"How can that old man be considered a good man?"
Li Xin smiled dumbly, and said: "Forty years ago, there were hundreds of thousands of Northern Zhou soldiers who died directly under his hands, and until now, the Yuwen tribes in the north are still afraid of Ye Ziqi like a tiger. ”
In the past few years, Li Xin has not learned much about the recent situation of the Yuwen departments in the north, and he naturally knows what the image of his teacher is in the Yuwen departments.
To this day, if the children of the Yuwen tribe outside the Guanwai are disobedient, the adults will say to the children, "If you cry again, the evil in the south will catch you and eat you", and those children will no longer dare to be disobedient when they hear the name of the evil one.
Evil is not Ye Sheng's expression, it was the people of the Northern Zhou Dynasty who gave him a nickname forty years ago.
"How can you do that."
The eldest princess put down the sleeping child in her arms and said softly: "We are from the Great Jin Dynasty, so naturally we have to stand on the side of the Great Jin people to see things, in my heart, Master Ye is a more powerful person than my grandfather." ”
The eldest princess is the daughter of the Emperor of Chengde, and her grandfather is naturally the Emperor Wu.
Li Xin said with a smile: "Your Highness, you slander your ancestors, be careful to catch the Zongfu tomorrow and beat the board." ”
The eldest princess glanced at Li Xin and said coquettishly: "People won't say it in front of outsiders." ”
Ye Sheng is more powerful than Emperor Wu, this kind of thing is destined to be just a private talk in the boudoir, and he can't say it, and he can't say it.
After the couple gossiped for a while, Li Xin, who had been busy all day, felt sleepy, he yawned, hugged Xiao Li Ping to the cradle on the side, and then sat on the edge of the bed and said: "I'll sleep first, and early tomorrow morning, I will go to Chen Guogong's Mansion to watch." ”
The eldest princess glanced at Li Xin in surprise.
"Isn't Master Ye's birthday banquet over, what else do you want to see?"
At this time, Li Xin was already lying on the bed with his clothes closed, he did not answer this question, but sighed leisurely.
The eldest princess was very smart and didn't ask any more, and after she handed her little daughter to the maid Cui'er to take down, she also took off her coat, lay down next to Li Xin, covered the quilt and went to sleep.
This night seemed to be no different from normal days.
But alas, it was destined to be a sleepless night.
Li Xin had just been lying down for an hour, that is, when he was ugly for two minutes, when there was a sudden knock on the door of the two people's rooms.
Because it was late at night, the people outside the door didn't dare to knock too loudly, but Li Xin, who was nervous, immediately jumped up from the bed like a spring after hearing this sound.
Without saying a word, he began to get dressed.
The eldest princess was also awakened, and she asked in a low voice, "Husband, what's wrong?" ”
At this time, Li Xin had almost put on his clothes, he took a deep breath, and said, "I don't know what the matter is, but it shouldn't be a good thing." ”
At this time, Li Xin's heart was extremely uncomfortable, and a particularly bad feeling permeated his heart.
"You... Just rest at home, I might have to be out for a few days......"
With that, Li Xin walked out of the inner room and pushed open the outside door.
Chen Sixteen waited outside respectfully.
Li Xin didn't speak, just looked at him expressionlessly.
This one-armed butler of the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion had a rare trembling voice.
"Master Hou, Grandpa Ye, he ......"
"It's time to die..."
