When Meihuawei tied up Lin Hu in Jincheng, Li Xin asked for the mark of Meihuawei from Xiao Zheng's mouth, so that Lin Hu was rescued, not to mention, hundreds of Meihuawei in Jincheng finally died.

If this matter is said to be true, Xiao Zheng will definitely die, no matter how high his status is in the inner court, he is just a house slave to the Son of Heaven.

Besides, even if the Son of Heaven doesn't kill him, let those people in the Meihua Guard know that it was their immediate boss who betrayed him, and most of these guys who are used to killing people will take it upon themselves to take Xiao Zheng's life.

Gonggong Xiao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, looked up at Li Xin, gritted his teeth and said: "Mrs. Li, it is not the slave who wants you to return to Beijing, it is His Majesty who wants you to return to Beijing, even if the slave and maid turn around and leave now, the imperial court will definitely send more people to find the Taifu." ”

The Marquis of Jing'an was expressionless.

"I will go back when I should go back, and ask Gonggong Xiao to tell Your Majesty, and say that when Li Xin's condition is better, he will definitely go back to Beijing to do things for the imperial court."

Xiao Zheng had a bitter face and arched his hand to Li Xin.

"In this way, the slave and maid will take their leave."

He glanced at Li Xin deeply, and said: "Taifu, after the slave and maid leave, Qianniuwei will definitely enter Ningling to find someone, if you don't want to return to Beijing, it is better to leave Ningling as soon as possible, otherwise the three guards in the capital will find Ningling sooner or later." ”

Li Xin's face was expressionless.

"I see."

Eunuch Xiao sighed, looked at Li Xin deeply, and then turned to leave.

He has this handle in Li Xin's hands, and he doesn't dare to forcibly bring someone in to arrest Li Xin no matter what, otherwise as soon as the news is released, Li Xin will stay safe and sound in the southwest, and he Xiao Zheng will definitely be cut by the Son of Heaven with a thousand knives.

After Xiao Zheng left, Li Xin looked back at Ye Mao and shook his head helplessly: "I originally wanted to stay in Ningling for a few more days, but it seems that I can't stay anymore, so I'll pack up my things and prepare to leave in a while." ”

Ye Mao nodded and asked, "Uncle Shi is going back to the southwest?" ”

"Maybe."

Li Xin said in a deep voice: "After I leave, you don't want to stay in Ningling to guard your filial piety to your senior brother, let your two sons stay here to guard, you go back to Beijing to see the Son of Heaven, get the documents as soon as possible, and then go back to Jimen Pass." ”

Ye Mao frowned and said, "Uncle Shi is saying that there will be an accident at Jimen Pass?" ”

"I guess."

Li Xin slowly exhaled a breath: "Yu Wenzhao, that person, absolutely thief is not dead, he has accumulated enough strength, he will definitely want to re-enter the customs, when the time comes, there are only two roads to take Jimen Pass or Yunzhou City, Yunzhou City's farmers are more difficult to gnaw, relatively speaking, there is no main general Jimen Pass, it is easier to fight." ”

Li Xin looked at Ye Mao and said in a deep voice: "You must go back to Jizhou as soon as possible, you can't stay in the court all the time, otherwise those big-headed scholars with eyes like lotus canopies will have some bad intentions, and you may have to stay in Beijing as an official, and you won't be able to go to Jizhou." ”

"The Northern Army of Jizhou Town is the foundation of the Ye family, and there must be the Ye family watching there, otherwise something is likely to happen."

"My father told me that before he died."

Ye Mao frowned.

"But I don't think the imperial court should be stupid to such a point, my Ye family has been guarding the country for the imperial court for more than forty years, and it is impossible for the imperial court to give up the 100,000 Zhenbei army and make it difficult for my Ye family."

"It was impossible to do so."

Li Xin pointed to his nose and smiled bitterly: "But counting the relationship between the Ye family and me, it's different." ”

He pointed in the direction where Xiao Zheng was going, and said, "How do you think Xiao Zheng will report back to the emperor after returning to Beijing?" ”

Ye Mao can be said to know nothing about manipulating people's hearts, he frowned and said, "I don't know. ”

"The imperial court already knows that I am here, Xiao Zheng brought people over, naturally it is impossible not to see me, after he goes back, he will tell the emperor that it was you Ye Mao who blocked him and Qianniuwei, and he Xiao Zheng returned in vain in order to take care of the overall situation."

"With just this sentence, Your Majesty will have three more points of suspicion against the Ye family."

Ye Maoda frowned.

"Uncle Shi's ......"

"Do you want to say that I should not hide, or directly threaten Xiao Zheng not to tell me my whereabouts?"

Li Xin exhaled a breath and said a little helplessly: "If I don't come out today, Xiao Zheng will not give up, and when the time comes, Qianniuwei will really enter the Ye family's Zhuangzi, not to mention the face of Chen Guogong's mansion, even the face of Master Ye will be lost." ”

"Moreover, although I have a handle that can kill him, but this kind of handle can make him do things, but I can't let him really send him to death, the court has already known in advance that I am in Ningling, and if he goes back to hide it, he will be cut down by the Son of Heaven directly."

"Of course, he is a eunuch and has no heirs, but the eunuch also has a clan, and he can easily decide what he should do."

Ye Mao was stunned in place, dumbfounded.

Li Xin reached out and patted the big man's shoulder and sighed slowly.

"Maybe I shouldn't have come to Ningling, but Senior Brother Ye is dead, and I'm hiding in the southwest, so it's a little unreasonable after all."

"I didn't mean to harm the Ye family, I came all the way from Jincheng along the trail, and even went out day and night, only bringing one or twenty close people with me, and almost didn't tell anyone my whereabouts, but the court still knew very well where I went."

Speaking of this, Li Xin slowly closed his eyes and smiled a little helplessly.

"It means that there are people from the imperial court around me, and I will investigate this matter carefully, and I will definitely find out this person who reported to the imperial court."

Ye Mao was stunned in place, and after being silent for a long time, he said slowly: "Don't blame Uncle Shi. ”

The third Chen Guogong of the Great Jin Dynasty smiled bitterly.

"Since my grandfather, the imperial court has not trusted the Ye family much, and it doesn't matter if I don't let me go out of Beijing, except for our surname Ye, no one can control the Zhenbei Army."

The Marquis of Jing'an lowered his eyebrows slightly.

"You go back to Beijing as soon as possible, I can't stay here longer, otherwise it will drag down the Ye family, not to mention, it will also drag down the Ye family in Ningling."

With that, Li Xin turned around and left.

Ye Mao looked at Li Xin's departing back, was silent for a long time, and did not speak.

……………………

Three days later, Ye Mao left his two sons in Ningling, instead of himself to keep filial piety for his father, he himself took the rest of the Ye family back to the capital, the people of the Ningling Marquis Mansion slowly returned in a carriage, and he took a dozen families to ride fast horses back to the capital.

After arriving in the capital, he went back to Chen Guogong's mansion to change into a set of court clothes, washed up briefly, and then entered the palace to ask to see the Son of Heaven.

As Chen Guogong, it was naturally very easy to see the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven met Ye Mao in the study of Weiyang Palace.

The Son of Heaven ascended the throne at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and now it has been four years, and he has also become a nineteen-year-old young man.

Seeing Ye Mao kneeling in front of him, the Son of Heaven immediately raised his hand and said, "Ye Qing, please get up." ”

After Ye Mao got up, the Son of Heaven also stood up from the chair, sighed, and said: "Old Master Ye passed away suddenly, and the Chinese martial arts of the dynasty are very sad in their hearts, Ye Qing must mourn and change." ”

Ye Mao took a deep breath, bowed deeply to the Son of Heaven, and bowed his hand.

"Your Majesty, my father's funeral has ended, and the minister is worried about the military affairs of Jimen Pass, and wants to return to Jimen Pass as soon as possible to guard the northern gateway for Your Majesty."

Yuan Zhao Tianzi was slightly stunned at first, and then his eyes rolled.
