About ten days ago, the news of Ye Ming's return to Beijing was the most confirmed, and what Li Xin said to Old Man Ye before came true.

Ye Ming's return to Beijing means that this battle will definitely start.

Even if Southern Xinjiang doesn't want to fight, the imperial court will fight.

As for the little grandfather's small emotions, it is also easy to understand.

At that time, Li Xin was still a sixteen or seventeen-year-old young man, Ye Mao had always regarded Li Xin as a little brother, and later Li Xin met Ye Lan and Ye Sheng, and his role as a "big brother" gradually became unavailable.

What's even more hateful is that later, his "little brother" actually worshipped his grandfather directly as a teacher, so that the two of them were directly different generations, so the little grandfather was very uncomfortable.

So during this period of time, he has been avoiding Li Xin, and every time he can't avoid it, he can only call Uncle Shi hard, and then run away.

But this time, to meet his father, he can't run.

Li Xin glanced at the little grandfather with a smile, then patted him on the shoulder, and smiled: "The little grandfather doesn't have to be like this, let's talk about ourselves in private." ”

According to Old Man Ye's meaning, he will have to do things with this goods in the future, and he can't make it too raw.

The little grandfather smiled reluctantly, shook his head and said, "You can come how you want, I still know the rules." ”

Although Ye Sheng was born with mud legs, but his children and grandchildren are not, as the only one with a different surname in the Great Jin Dynasty today, the Ye family can be said to be a veritable big family, and Ye Mao's tutor is very good.

Li Xin smiled slightly and stopped talking.

The two of them stood on the side of the road, quietly waiting.

About a pillar of incense, a carriage and a group of more than a hundred cavalrymen slowly walked over from the official road.

Ye Mao glanced at the carriage and sighed slightly.

I remember that a few years ago, my dad rode a horse.

For a long journey, it is more comfortable to have a carriage, after all, there is a place to rest, Ye Shaobao is also over fifty years old, and he is no longer in his prime, so it is not surprising to choose a carriage.

Soon, the carriage stopped near Shili Pavilion.

Ye Mao hurriedly greeted him, and Li Xin walked up unhurriedly with his hands behind his back.

Li Xin should be respectful to Old Man Ye, but now his status is not much different from this Ye Shaobao, so there is no need to put his posture very low.

Soon, a middle-aged man with a majestic appearance stepped down from the carriage, and it was none other than the general of the Zhenbei Army, Shaobao Ye Ming of the Great Jin.

The last time Li Xin saw him, it was the summer of the eighteenth year of Chengde, that is, a year and a half ago, at that time, Li Xin was an ordinary captain of Yulin Guard, and Ye Ming at that time was an unreachable boss for him.

Now, Li Xin is vaguely on an equal footing with him.

Ye Shaobao has more gray hair than a year and a half ago.

The little grandfather knelt on the ground with a thud and kowtowed to Ye Ming.

"Father's ......"

Ye Ming shook his head, bent down to help the eldest son up, and asked, "Is your grandfather okay?" ”

Ye Mao's eyes were a little red, and he said in a low voice: "It's all right." ”

"That's good."

At this time, Li Xin also walked up and bowed down to the general.

"Junior Brother has seen Senior Brother Ye."

Ye Ming glanced at Li Xin, with a smile on his face, and then reached out to help Li Xin.

"My father has written to tell my brother about my junior brother, it's great, it's great."

Li Xin shook his head and smiled: "It's all a fluke, speaking of which, I still have to thank the senior brother, if it wasn't for the credit that the senior brother gave to the younger brother, maybe there will be no future." ”

Although this matter was instructed by Emperor Chengde, Ye Ming gave Li Xin a great credit and gave Li Xin a great credit in a down-to-earth manner, so that he was qualified to sit in the position of Yulin Weilang General after returning to Beijing.

If he couldn't be the general of Yulinwei's right battalion, what happened later would probably be very different.

Ye Ming was taller than Li Xin and Ye Mao, his voice was deep, and he shook his head and said: "It's the junior brother who has the ability, Xiao Chen Ji's battle, as a brother, you can see that the junior brother has a strong head." ”

The two of them blew each other in business, and they talked very harmoniously, and the little grandfather Ye Mao stood next to him, glanced at Li Xin faintly, and didn't dare to speak.

The elders speak, and the younger generations naturally have no part to interject.

was originally a script with a deep father-son relationship, why did he Ye Mao become a supporting role?

Ye Ming pulled Li Xin's sleeve and said with a smile: "Let's go, go home with Brother Wei, for more than a year, Brother Wei has often heard news from his junior brother in Jimen Pass, and he has to have a good chat with his junior brother about many things." ”

Li Xin hesitated slightly, and said: "Senior brother rarely goes back to Beijing once, the family should get together well, the younger brother is not suitable to go at this time, it is better to wait for tomorrow, and the younger brother will come to visit again." ”

Ye Ming's identity is very sensitive, he is a border army general who really holds military power.

This kind of military power is different from the military power of the forbidden army, because the forbidden army is very close to the capital, the emperor can directly give orders in person, Li Xin is just a role in charge, and the border army is different, the border army is less than a month or two away from the capital, if the emperor wants to command, the "delay" is too high, so generals like Ye Ming have the right to arbitrary.

In other words, they can cut it first and then report to the capital after they have done something.

Although Li Xin and Chen Guogong's Mansion are now wearing a pair of pants, Ye Ming has just returned to Beijing, and he has entered Chen Guogong's Mansion, after all, it is a little bad.

Ye Ming smiled heartily: "My father has no one to look at him in his life, and he is not very satisfied with the four of our brothers, let alone accept apprentices, for more than a year, in the letter written by my father to my brother, he is full of praise for my junior brother, and his old man accepted his junior brother as a closed disciple, where are we still outsiders?" ”

"Let's go, let's go."

Li Xin had no choice but to nod and get into Ye Ming's carriage.

The little grandfather, who left a resentful face, walked behind the carriage.

When the group walked to Yongle Fang, the carriage stopped at the gate of Chen Guogong's mansion, Ye Ming and Li Xin both jumped off the carriage, Ye Shaobao glanced at Li Xin, and said in a low voice: "Senior brother go in first, report safety to my father on my behalf, I want to enter the palace." ”

When the general of the border army returned to Beijing, the first thing was naturally to enter the palace to face the saint, and only after seeing the emperor did he go home, otherwise he would not respect the emperor very much, and after Emperor Taikang ascended the throne, Ye Ming had not seen it, so at this time, he naturally had to go over to see him as soon as possible.

Li Xin also understood this truth, nodded and said, "Senior brother will go by himself, and junior brother will go to see Master Ye." ”

Ye Ming got back into the carriage and glanced back at his eldest son before getting into the carriage.

"Be obedient at home, don't be naughty."

With that, he got into the carriage.

The little grandfather's face froze, and he was about to vomit blood in his heart.

Is there any mistake?

His father pulled Li Xin's arm and said Huanhuan, looking like a brother, and turned his head to treat himself as a child?

How many years older than him is he right?

At this time, Li Xin had already arrived at the gate of Chen Guogong's Mansion, looked back at Ye Mao, who was frozen and motionless, and spoke in surprise.

"Little grandpa, what's wrong with you?"
