It is impossible to tell the old lady what is about to change drasticly in the capital. After all, Li Xin can't tell her directly that your son may die soon.

Therefore, Li Xin comforted the Empress Dowager in Kunde Palace and made up a fairly reasonable lie to make up the matter.

After spending about half an hour in Kunde Palace, Li Xin finally set out to leave. When he left, he took away a lot of the snacks from the palace that the old lady forced him to give him.

In this way, Li Xin successfully left the imperial city and returned to the Jing'an Marquis Mansion in Yonglefang.

The Jing'an Marquis Mansion is much deserted now. Not only is Li Xin's family not very young, but Chen Shiliu's wife and children are not in the capital. There are only a hundred servants left, responsible for daily cleaning.

After returning to the Marquis' Mansion, Li Xin wrote a letter in the study and handed it to Chen Shiliu, asking him to find a way to send it out.

However, at this time, most of the actions of the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion will be stared at by the court, so you should pay great attention to sending letters at this time, because it is very likely that if you accidentally chase the people of the court, the place where the eldest princess and others are, and they will be captured in one fell swoop.

However, Chen Shiliu has always been steady in his work. When he followed Li Xin, he was still a 16-year-old boy. Now, more than ten years have passed, and he has become the most stable person around Li Xin.

As long as it is entrusted to him by Li Xin, he can basically do it.

With only one arm left, he helped Li Xin no less than Shen Gang who was busy in the dark.

Because I haven't had a good rest for many days, after writing the letter, Li Xin went back to his room and took a good night's sleep.

When he woke up, it was the next morning. As usual, he finished his fist stance in the yard, then changed into casual clothes, and walked away from the Jing'an Marquis Mansion without riding a horse and taking a car.

Although he was secretly stared at this time, his freedom of movement was not limited. Therefore, theoretically, he could go wherever he wanted.

However, people who are too sensitive cannot see each other, such as Hou Jingde, who is now in charge of the imperial guards.

Li Xin didn't plan to see him either.

He walked away from Yonglefang and arrived at Liushufang near Yonglefang.

Although Liushufang is not as expensive as Yonglefang and the land price is slightly lower than Yonglefang, the lively level of Liushufang and Mingdefang is definitely the most popular place in the capital.

Li Xin came to Liushufang because the fourth master of the Ye family, Ningling Marquis Ye Lin, was in Liushufang.

Now Ye Lin is probably separated from the Ye family. After all, he also has a marquis who wants to pass on it. It is impossible for him to live in Duke Chen's mansion for the rest of his life. The old man's intention was to let him move out as soon as possible. After the old man left, he moved to the Ningling Marquis Mansion in Liushufang. Now he has a position as Minister of War in Beijing, but he is not very responsible.

Li Xin has been here in this Ningling Marquis Mansion. He has a good memory and found the Marquis Mansion very smoothly. After asking his disciples to inform him, he waited quietly at the door.

Soon, the gate of the Ningling Marquis Mansion opened. Ye Lin, dressed in green plainclothes, widened his eyes and looked at Li Xin in front of him, both surprised and happy.

"Chang'an, why are you back?"

Li Xin returned to Beijing yesterday, and his itinerary was kept confidential. Except for the palace, few people in the capital now know about Li Xin's return to Beijing, and even the Ye family didn't know about it.

Now, Ye Ming, the head of the Ye family, is still in his hometown of Ningling, and is mourning for Old Man Ye. Ye Mao, the eldest son of the Ye family, temporarily led the Zhenbei Army in the northern border and confronted Yuwen's troops. Li Xin, the Ye family in the entire capital, could only talk to Ye Lin.

Now Ye Lin is no longer the Yulin Central Army General who had just passed his thirties more than ten years ago, but the Minister of War, who was over 10 years old. He has left two long beards and looks much more calm.

Li Xin has only seen two of the four sons of Old Man Ye because of the second and third sons who died in battle. Among them, the eldest, Ye Ming has a calm and restrained personality and is very different from Old Man Ye.

On the contrary, this fourth brother of the Ye family, in terms of personality, temper and appearance, is similar to Ye Sheng.

Li Xin bowed to Ye Lin and said in a deep voice: "I came back yesterday. After resting for a night, I came over to talk to Senior Brother Ye."

Ye Lin made way for a while, and the two brothers walked into the Ningling Marquis Mansion side by side.

When this marquis' mansion was opened, Li Xin had also been there to celebrate, so he was quite familiar with it. The two walked all the way to the backyard and sat down in a tea room.

It was not the time to eat. After Ye Lin poured Li Xin a cup of tea, he sat down opposite Li Xin. He stroked his beard on his jaw with one hand, and drank the cup of tea with the other hand, and looked up at Li Xin, feeling quite emotional.

"Last month I also communicated with my eldest brother and talked about Chang'an. My eldest brother said that you may have to stay in the southwest of Chang'an and never return to the capital."

Li Xin also put down the teacup and smiled bitterly: "I'm not hiding it to my senior brother. I didn't plan to come back, but after receiving a private message from the emperor... I went back to Beijing to take a look."

As he said that, he looked up at Ye Lin.

"Senior brother, your majesty's body... do you know?"

He only said halfway, and did not continue.

"Know."

Ye Lin nodded and said, "Your Majesty has not been to court for several months. According to legend, the dragon body is in poor health and is sick."

Speaking of this, Ye Lin frowned and said, "But what disease is it that can make you... come back from the southwest?"

Li Xin did not continue to answer this topic, but asked, "After I went to the southwest for several months, I don't know any news about the north. How did Ye Mao fight at Jimen Pass?"

The tactics of the Zhenbei Army against the Yuwen tribes were decided by Li Xin when he was in Jizhou City. However, because of the matter of Hanzhou City, he could not implement them personally at Jimen Pass. Instead, Ye Mao took over and continued to do it according to his plan.

Now, more than half a year has passed, and Li Xin is also very concerned about the affairs in the north.

"Ye Mao's fight was pretty good."

Ye Lin said, "After the destruction of Yuwen Futu tribe, the Zhenbei Army and the Yuwen Zhao tribe each occupied half of the territory of the Futu tribe. After that, as Chang'an expected, Yuwen Zhao really refused to accept it. He had clashed with the Zhenbei Army many times and wanted to steal all the spheres of influence of the Futu tribe."

"The two sides fought several battles and each other won and lost. Because the Zhenbei Army lacked cavalry, it was difficult to fight Yuwen Zhao on the grassland, so Ye Mao had already brought his people back to Jimen Pass."

Speaking of this, Ye Lin paused.

"However, Yuwen Zhao's tribe also paid the price."

Li Xin pondered for a while, then continued to ask: "Is there any movement in Yunzhou City?"

"have."

After Ye Lin took a sip of tea, he said in a deep voice: "The Zong family fought with the Qigui tribe again. Many people died of the Zhong family, but the Qigui tribe was almost disabled. There are only two left in the four Yuwen tribes."

Marquis Jing'an nodded.

"Sure enough, the Zong family, who has not made any military achievements for decades, cannot give up this opportunity."

The reason why the Zhong family and Qigui tribe fought so fiercely was largely because the operation of the Zhenbei Army gave them the opportunity. The Zhong family, which has been in the limelight for decades, needs such a big victory to regain their status as the No. 1 general of the Jin Dynasty.

The two brothers and brothers talked about the situation in the north for a while. After pouring a cup of tea for Li Xin, Ye Lin suddenly looked at Li Xin and asked.

"Chang'an, you suddenly returned to Beijing..."
