Lin Jiexing found an old part of his grandfather's old department.

He was originally in the palace waiting for the prince to return, but he didn't want to be spent by the prince to take care of Zhuangzi.

This is clearly trying to send him away.

This old unit had retired from the battlefield and had been wounded in the leg before, so he was not so agile.

He knew that Yan Xiaozhi was determined to send him away, so he went to Zhuangzi according to his wishes.

Now that Lin Jiexing came back and found him, he immediately told Lin Jiexing what had happened in the mansion over the years.

And Lin Jiexing didn't introduce the Yan Wang couple to him, and the old ministry only regarded them as friends of the prince.

"Shizi, you are finally back, if you don't come back, Lao Qi is afraid that the sky in the northwest will change!"

Lao Qi said that in the Northwest Army over the years, people loyal to the old Northwest King were squeezed out step by step.

He always stared at the palace, watching that woman meddling in the Northwest Army, but Yan Xiaozhi did nothing, it was as chilling as drinking cold water in the winter.

"Uncle Qi, have you seen my father since you left the palace?"

Lin Jiexing's brows tightened.

The father he remembered from childhood to adulthood, although he was not as majestic as his grandfather, was not a sinister villain.

"When he asked me to leave, he asked me to move all your things to Zhuangzi."

"At that time, many old ministries said that Yan Xiaozhi wanted to occupy the Northwest Palace, and while you were in Yanjing, he threw all your things to Zhuangzi."

"After that, the eldest lady is gone."

"Your father said to the public that the eldest lady was sick and was sent to the south to recuperate."

Lin Jiexing's grandmother's ancestral home is Jiangnan, and if it is said that it was sent to the south, there are actually no close relatives there.

This is clearly an excuse that my father made at random after the eldest sister ran away from home.

It's just for the sake of her daughter's reputation that isn't so ugly.

In other words, it can also be regarded as his reputation for protecting his second daughter from being burdened by his eldest daughter.

"You are far away in Yanjing, and you need the support of the entire Northwest Army, so our old troops will not dare to act rashly."

"However, your father said when he asked me to go to Zhuangzi, let me retire in Zhuangzi."

"He said that those old people in the army have made great achievements, and if they want to retire, the palace will also arrange pensions."

"This is clearly a hint that we withdrew from the Northwest Army earlier!"

Speaking of this, Lao Qi was still a little indignant.

"I was drinking with a couple of old guys and scolding him together."

Lao Qi's face was also a little unsightly: "But later, we found that the old stubborn who had not retired in the army had accidents one by one, either they were injured by chance, or they had accidents at home, and they had no time to take care of the barracks anymore......"

"In short, some of them were removed from important positions, and the other part retired on their own initiative."

"There are still some people, we are discussing, hide the edge first, and wait for you to come back, and then make plans."

"However, rest assured, although some of our strength in the army has been replaced, the foundation is still there."

"You are the rightful heir, as soon as you return, you will be able to respond to every call."

I have to say that the Northwest Army still has some capable people.

They sensed that something was wrong, and did their best to preserve their strength, just waiting for Lin to return.

It's a pity that there was no Lin Feixu who suddenly went home, maybe Lin Jiexing wouldn't know the real situation in the northwest at all.

"How can it be!"

Lin Jiexing was so angry that he slapped the table and directly shattered the teacup on the table.

"What do you think?"

He looked at King Yan and Xiao Fuyi.
