Unparalleled Concubine

"Master Ye has been a soldier all his life, brother let him shine in the history books."

Hearing Li Xin's words, Ye Ming's heart was greatly touched, and his wrinkled face was also a little moved.

The old man moved his lips and finally sighed slowly.

"With so many people in the Ye family, they are not as filial as you, Chang'an."

"My brother doesn't know what you're going to do, and I can't control you."

This Ye Guogong stood up, clasped his fists and bowed to Li Xin.

"Brother, I can only ask Changan you for one thing."

Li Xin quickly stood up and reached out to support Ye Ming.

"Elder brother, if you have any orders, just say yes, and this will shorten the younger brother's life span."

Ye Ming looked up at Li Xin deeply, and then said in a deep voice, "No matter what you do in Chang'an in the future, you must inform the Ye family."

"I'm here, you tell me, I'm not here, you go tell the fourth child, if not, you have to tell Ye Mao."

"The Ye family and the Jing'an Marquis Mansion will always be in the same spirit."

Li Xin nodded without hesitation.

"Li Xin has been favored by Master Ye, and has always been half of the Ye family."

Chapter 927 Warm Favor

The two talked for a while, and the servants had already prepared the food and drinks. Ye Ming stayed for a rare meal. Delivered to the gate of Hou Mansion.

Before parting, Ye Guogong stood beside the carriage of the Duke's mansion, and said to Li Xin: "Chang'an, Ye Mao has sent me a lot of letters recently, saying that the Yuwen Department in the north seems to be safe, but its power is getting stronger and stronger. Not long ago, Yu Wenzhao took the youngest daughter of the leader of the Helan tribe, and that girl was only 15 years old."

Ye Ming said slowly: "The Helan Department has been forced to this point. It is only a matter of time before it is annexed by Yu Wenzhao. The north will be unified soon. Chang'an, you have to pay more attention to this matter."

Yu Wenzhao has been for more than 40 years this year, and he forcibly married a ten-year-old girl, which is indeed a bit shameless, and Yuwen Helan is willing to marry, which shows that Yu Wenzhao has almost digested the Futu Department, the only one among the four Yuwen Departments A surviving Helan tribe may not last long.

Li Xin nodded and said with a smile: "This matter is a matter for the court, but if you can help, my younger brother will still help."

Ye Ming coughed a few times, and his face was a little unsightly.

He looked at Li Xin with a serious expression: "Chang'an, brother...I'm afraid it won't be long."

"The fourth child has already separated from the Duke's family. If I leave with my father, Ye Mao will be the only one left in the Ye family. You know that the child Chang'an is somewhat unsatisfactory. Chang'an needs your help."

Li Xin frowned, and asked, "Brother, what's wrong with you, should I go and ask the doctor to take a look at it?"

"Old problem."

Ye Ming smiled: "My body is not as good as my father's. I was always worried that I would die before my father and make him sad. Now I can spend a few more years to arrange my father's funeral, and I have done my duty as a son of man. I am very happy for my brother."

Ye Ming is not a traditional military general like Ye Cheng. In the first 20 years of his life, he was a scholar, and later became a "half-way monk" and became a general. His body is indeed not as strong as the old Duke Ye Sheng. He is only in his 60s. , is already very old, and looks older than when Ye Cheng was dying.

Hearing Ye Ming's words, Li Xin had no choice but to smile bitterly and said, "Senior Brother takes advantage of his free time to take good care of himself. Ye Mao is a pure and filial person. Losing Master Ye has already caused him pain and unbearable pain. If Senior Brother also leaves, he will Probably not acceptable."

"Right now, being a brother is mostly considering this child."

Ye Guogong sighed: "His mother died early, and I have been leading soldiers outside all year round, so I hardly ever took care of him. He grew up with his grandfather."

"I have done very little for Ye Mao in this life. Now for him, I have to work hard to live a few more days. For my brother to live for a day, the pressure on his shoulders will be lighter."

"That's why I like the Yuwen Department so much."

Ye Ming put his gaze back on Li Xin, and said lightly: "If things go on like this, in the next five to ten years, there will be a battle between the Yuwen Ministry and the Jin Dynasty, and Ye Mao will bear the brunt of it. Yu Wenzhao is a Xianbei You can't underestimate the hero among people, Chang'an must take him seriously."

This Ye Guogong's idea is very simple.

Ye Mao's temperament is not suitable for being an official in the court, and he is naturally suitable for leading soldiers outside. For him, the biggest difficulty in life is probably the Yuwen tribes outside Jimen Pass. If the Yuwen tribes are unified, their combat effectiveness will be great. It will increase exponentially. It may be difficult for them to attack Jimen Pass and Yunzhou City at the same time, but if they attack one place with all their strength, it is really possible to defeat them.

That's why Ye Ming wanted Li Xin to help take care of the north.

Not to mention completely defeating the Yuwen Department, as long as they repel or defeat the Yuwen Department once, Ye Mao, Chen Guogong, can live in peace and stability for the rest of his life.

Of course, if Jimen Pass is broken, Ye Mao can only die in Jimen Pass.

Li Xin glanced at Ye Ming, whose face was not very good-looking, and sighed helplessly: "Brother, don't worry, with me here, nothing will happen to Ye Mao."

"With Chang'an's words, I feel more at ease as a brother."

Ye Guogong fumbled in his sleeve for a while, and finally found a prismatic iron block with the word "Ye" engraved on it. With a solemn expression, he handed the iron block into Li Xin's hand.

"Father used to use bows, lances and long spears on the battlefield in his early years. That long bow is still hanging in the old man's small yard. You have seen it in Chang'an."

"Ma Qian was no longer needed, and was left in the warehouse by the old man."

Ye Ming sighed slowly, and said: "This piece of iron is the tip of the gun that the old man used on the battlefield. He was idle in the capital, so he smoothed it out. Find someone A leaf character was engraved as the symbol of the Ye family."

"It is also the symbol of the head of the Ye family."

Li Xin rolled his eyes, put the iron block into his sleeve, and said with a smile: "Brother, this is not appropriate. How can such a valuable thing be given to an outsider like me?"

Ye Ming glanced at Li Xin who had put his things into his sleeves, and said helplessly, "It's not for you."

He sighed, and said: "With my body, it is basically difficult to go north, and I can't go to Jimen Pass to meet Maoer, so I can only entrust it to you. When you go to Jimen Pass, When you see Maoer, give this thing to him and tell him that he is already the head of the Ye family."

The smile on Li Xin's face faded.

He cupped his hands at Ye Ming and said, "Don't worry, brother, I will definitely get this done for you."

Ye Guogong smiled at him.

"Since this thing is given to you, you can use it when you need it."

With a heartbeat, Li Xin understood what Ye Ming meant.

This thing can be regarded as the "Patriarch Order" of the Ye family. It may not be said that you can command all the Ye family members with it, but the Ye family has been powerful for decades. It will be of great use.

What Ye Ming meant was that Li Xin could use this thing before it was handed over to Ye Mao. Will always stand behind Li Xin.

Lord Jing'an was silent for a while, and bowed deeply to Ye Ming's carriage.

"Senior brother's kindness, my younger brother is deeply grateful."

"It's just helping each other."

After Ye Ming finished speaking, he turned around and got into his own carriage. Following the sound of the driver's whip, the carriage slowly left the Jing'an Hou Mansion.

After the carriage left, Li Xin took out the iron block engraved with the word "leaf" in his sleeve to have a look, and then put it back in the sleeve.
