Unparalleled Concubine - v2 Chapter 1000

   Chapter 1000 Li Yexiang Covenant

In the early morning of the next day, before dawn, dozens of people from the Ye family got up, quickly sorted out their equipment, and set off on their horses. Yu Linwei over there saw the Ye family. There was movement, and under Xie Dai’s order, they also began to pull out the camp, and then each led their own horses.

When the sky was about to light up, the Ye family had already packed up, and the group turned on their horses. Li Xin was surrounded by Ye Mao and others, and was about to ride on the road. Xie Dai hurriedly mounted the horse, chased after him, and shouted at Li Xin. Said: “Taifu, Yulinwei has been ordered to protect the safety of Taifu, you should go with Yulinwei!”

Before Li Xin could speak, Ye Mao, who was beside him, said, “Last night, my uncle and I received an urgent report that Jizhou is in an emergency. We are going to change horses along the road and gallop to Jizhou. There may be so many horses on hand, so Duwei Xie should take them slowly and walk in the back, and then they will meet in Jizhou.”

Hearing this sentence, Xie Dai couldn’t find any reason to refute it for a while, he gritted his teeth, got on his horse, turned back to Yu Linwei and shouted: “After you pull out the camp, catch up immediately, two hundred per day. Go north and meet at Jizhou City!”

   After saying that, he walked up to Ye Mao and said solemnly, “Ye Guogong, Xiaguan is with you.”

  Ye Mao squinted his eyes slightly and said, “Xie Duwei, please.”

After all, the Ye family’s horse team surrounded Li Xin and galloped northward from the official road. Xie Dai also rode horses to keep up with the Ye family’s horse team. These dozens of people did not consider the damage of the horses, let go of the speed and ran, etc. In the afternoon, he had run for almost 200 miles. Li Xin rode at the front of the team. When he looked up, he suddenly saw a black flag hanging on a big tree on both sides of the official road.

  Li Xin silently looked at the black flag and let out a long breath.

This black flag is the logo of Li Xin’s Anbu. Seeing this black cloth means that the neighborhood is almost under the control of Shen Gang and others, which means that when he gets here, he has completely lost his life. worry.

   In the capital for the past few months, although Li Xin had a plan, it was more or less risky to gamble with his own life.

  The horse team ran along the official road until the evening. When it was getting dark, they found a post to rest. At the entrance of the post, a man in sackcloth had been waiting for a long time.

   Seeing Li Xin dismount, he immediately stepped forward, bowed and said, “Master Hou.”

   Li Xin patted his shoulder and said, “It’s hard work.”

  Because there are too many people, it is not convenient to talk. After Li Xin threw the horse to a Ye family member, he took Shen Gang into the backyard of the inn. Under his direction, Ye Mao also walked in.

   Xie Dai, who dismounted with him, was not invited and could only watch silently from the side, then led his horse and tied it to the post of the inn.

Because there are dozens of horses, the backyard of the inn is not small. Li Xin and the others endured the strong smell of the stables and sat down beside a haystack. Shen Gang lowered his head and took out about seven or eight letters from his arms. He handed it to Li Xin and said, “Master Hou, these are letters written to you by Southwest, including General Mu, Zhao Jinglue, and your family letter…”

  Li Xin nodded, put these letters into his sleeve, and said, “How is the situation in the southwest?”

  Shen Gang lowered his head and said nothing.

  Ye Mao stood up sensible and said with a smile: “Uncle, there may be things ahead, I’ll take a look.”

  Li Xin shook his head and said solemnly to Shen Gang: “Master Ye is his own person, don’t be afraid to say anything.”

Shen Gang then lowered his head and said, “Returning to the Marquis, the Southwest fight went very smoothly. After the defeat, Xie Jing of Hanzhong was unwilling to send troops out of the city to fight, but they were all defeated by General Mu and General Li. Now the imperial army in Hanzhong There are less than half of them, and General Pei of Ankang chose to hold his troops after he lost twice, but he didn’t lose too many troops.”

   “Now, the southwestern defense line of the imperial court has been breached by General Mu. Zhao Jinglue asked his subordinates to ask the Lord Marquis what to do next.”

Li Xin lowered his head and pondered for a while, and said, “At this time, the imperial army should have slowly withdrawn from Hanzhong and Ankang, and told Mu Ying that if they retreated, they would lead troops to occupy Hanzhong and Ankang, and then temporarily hold back their troops. If the army of the imperial court does not retreat, they will directly attack Hanzhong, and we will take care of the gateway to the southwest by ourselves.”

  Shen Gang bowed his head deeply.

   “My subordinates will send the letter now.”

   After saying that, he got up and said goodbye.

   Li Xin continued: “During this period of time, the intelligence collected in the northern Xinjiang will be sorted out and sent to me.”

  Shen Gang stood up and clasped his fists.

   “Subordinates obey.”

   After saying that, he immediately bowed and said goodbye.

   When Shen Gang was far away, Ye Mao, who was sitting on the ground like Li Xin, looked at Shen Gang’s back, and said with admiration, “Uncle Master is such a powerful technique, and neither side of the north nor the south has escaped Uncle Master’s eyes and ears.”

   He looked back at Li Xin, and asked with a smile, “How many people are under Uncle Shi’s hands who are investigating news?”

   Li Xin laughed: “It is estimated that there are almost 2,000 people now.”

  Ye Mao stroked his hand and said, “Uncle Shi is still rich. With so many people, I am afraid that only the imperial court can afford it.”

   “I couldn’t afford it before. There were only a few hundred people. Over the past few years, as I got rich, I gradually acquired more.”

Li Xin recalled the past and said with emotion: “Most of the income was spent on this before, you may not know that in the past four years, five years and two years in Taikang, in order to get more money, I still carried imperial wine on my back. Sir, they sold a lot of bootleg wine.”

  Ye Mao was stunned for a while, and then he said, “Four years of Taikang… Don’t you have a good relationship with the late emperor, uncle, why did you start at that time…”

   Li Xin gave Ye Mao a white look, and said angrily, “In Yonglefang, which household doesn’t have a few people looking for news, isn’t there a Wu Daoxing in your Chen Guogong’s residence?”

   Mentioning Fatty Wu, Ye Mao shook his head and stopped talking.

   This fat man left the capital after the death of Old Man Ye, and didn’t pay attention to the affairs of the Ye family. He heard that he went back to his hometown, but he didn’t know where he went.

   The two chatted for a few more words. Ye Mao suddenly looked up at Li Xin and said, “Listen to what Shen Gang said.

   “Mostly because Xie Jing is stupid enough.”

Li Xin half-squinted his eyes and said, “I said early on that that uncle is a fool. Compared with the uncle next to us, he is far worse, but whether it is the late emperor or today, I like to use him very much, Hanzhong’s 100,000 troops, when in the hands of Senior Brother Ye, occasionally fought with the Southwest, and they both won and lost.

  Ye Mao lowered his head and was silent for a while, then asked, “Uncle Shi, what are you going to do next after pacifying the Xianbei Ministry?”

   Li Xin smiled, lowered his voice, and told Ye Mao about his plan.

   Ye Guogong’s complexion changed greatly.

   On the other hand, Li Xin’s expression was calm. He said lightly: “I didn’t intend to involve the Ye family in this matter, but now, the Ye family has been pulled in. What are you going to do?”

   Ye Mao gave a wry smile.

   “If Uncle Shi fails, it will be a dead end if the Ye family doesn’t participate.”

   He took a deep breath, got up and cupped his hands to Li Xin.

   “Uncle Ye Jiaxin.”
