After the two of them talked for a while, the servants had already prepared the wine and food. Ye Ming stayed for a rare meal. When he left, it was impossible to find out that it was already the Xu hour. Li Xin personally sent Ye Ming to the gate of the Marquis' Mansion.

Before leaving, Duke Ye stood next to the carriage of the Duke's Mansion and said to Li Xin: "Chang'an, Ye Mao has sent me a lot of letters recently. The letter said that the Yuwen tribe in the north looked peaceful, but its power was getting stronger and stronger. Not long ago, Yuwen Zhao took over the youngest daughter of the leader of the Helan tribe, and the girl was only fifteen years old."

Ye Ming spoke slowly: "The Helan tribe has been forced to this point. I think it's only a matter of time before Yuwen Zhao is annexed. The north will soon be unified. You have to pay more attention to Chang'an."

Yuwen Zhao has been for more than 40 years this year, and it is indeed a bit shameless to force a girl in her teens. The willingness of Yuwen Helan tribe to marry means that Yuwen Zhao has almost digested the Futu tribe. The only surviving Helan tribe among the four Yuwen tribes may not last long.

Li Xin nodded and said with a smile: "This matter is the court's business, but I will still help wherever I can help."

Ye Ming coughed a few times, his face a little unfavorable.

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

"The fourth brother has already separated from the Duke's Mansion. 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 a bit uninspiring, and you also need Chang'an to support him."

Li Xin frowned and asked, "Senior Brother is not feeling well. Do you want me to ask the doctor to take a look at me?"

"An old problem."

Ye Ming smiled: "My body is not as good as my father. I have always been worried about dying in front of my father, which makes him sad. Now I can arrange my father's funeral for a few more years and do my duty as a son. I am already very happy for my brother."

Ye Ming is not a traditional military general like Ye Sheng. In the first twenty years of his life, he was a scholar. Later, he became a general after becoming a "half-way monk". His body was indeed not as strong as the old Duke Ye Sheng. He was only in his sixties and was already old. He seemed to be even older than when Ye Sheng was about to die.

Hearing Ye Ming's words, Li Xin had no choice but to smile bitterly: "Senior brother is taking advantage of his unemployment and raise his body well. Ye Mao is a pure filial person. If Master Ye is lost, he will be in pain. If the senior brother left, he probably won't be able to accept it."

"At present, most of my brother is considering this child."

Duke Ye sighed: "My mother died early. I have been leading soldiers outside for many years and have hardly taken him. He grew up with his grandfather."

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

"That's why I like Yuwen's Ministry like this."

Ye Ming turned his gaze back to Li Xin and said lightly: "If this continues, the Yuwen tribe and the Jin Dynasty will have a battle in the next five to ten years, and Ye Mao will be the first to be affected by it. Yuwen Zhao is a hero among the Xianbei people and cannot be underestimated. Chang'an must take him to heart."

The idea of ​​this Duke Ye is very simple.

Ye Mao's personality is not suitable for being an official in the court, and he is naturally suitable for leading troops outside. For him, the biggest difficulty in his life is probably the Yuwen tribe outside Jimen Pass. If the Yuwen tribes are unified, their combat effectiveness will be increased exponentially. At that time, it may be a bit difficult for them to attack Jimen Pass and Yunzhou City at the same time, but if they have all their strength to attack one place, 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 you repel or defeat the Yuwen Department once, Ye Mao, Duke Chen, can do it safely for the rest of your life.

Of course, if Jimen Pass was broken, Ye Mao would have to die at Jimen Pass.

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

"With this saying in Chang'an, I feel much more at ease for my brother."

Duke Ye fumbled through his sleeve for a while, and finally found a prism-shaped iron block with the word "ye" engraved on the iron block. He looked solemn and handed the iron block into Li Xin's hands.

"In my early years, my father often used three types of weapons: bow, spear and spear on the battlefield. The long bow is still hung in the old man's small courtyard. You have seen it in Chang'an."

"The horse spear was not used later, and it was thrown into the warehouse by the old man."

Ye Ming sighed slowly and said, "This iron piece is the gun tip of the old man used on the battlefield back then. He was idle in the capital, so he polished it flattened it and found someone to engrave the word Ye as the symbol of the Ye family."

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

Li Xin's eyes rolled, put the iron piece into his sleeve, and said with a smile: "Senior brother, this is not suitable. How can such a valuable thing be handed over to me, an outsider?"

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

He sighed and said, "It's basically difficult for me to go north again, and I can't go to Jimenguan to see Maoer. I can only entrust you to you. One day when you go to Jimenguan and see Maoer, I will hand over this thing to him and tell him that he is already the head of the Ye family."

The smile on Li Xin's face calmed down.

He bowed to Ye Ming and said, "Senior brother, don't worry, I will definitely do this for you."

Duke Ye smiled at him.

"Since you have this thing, you can use it when you need it."

Li Xin moved in his heart and understood what Ye Ming meant.

This thing can be regarded as the "head of the family" of the Ye family. He can command all the Ye family members, but the Ye family has been in great power for decades. Maybe there will be Ye family members in any yamen, and this thing will be of great use by then.

Ye Ming means that Li Xin can use this thing before handing it to Ye Mao. This is a very clear and perverted thing, which is equivalent to lending the Ye family's power to Li Xin for use, meaning that the Ye family will always stand behind Li Xin.

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

"Senior brother Sheng Yi, younger brother Minggan Wu's inner world."

“Just help each other.”

After Ye Ming said this, he turned around to his own carriage. With the sound of the coachman's whip, the carriage slowly left the Jing'an Marquis Mansion.

After the carriage left, Li Xin took out the iron block with the word "leaf" engraved on his sleeve and looked at it, then put it into his sleeve.

He felt a little moved.

The Ye family started with Ye Sheng and treated him well for three generations. Although these things are mutual, it still touched him very much when the Ye family was able to do this.

"It's all human favors."

He shook his head, turned around and walked into his house, and after washing, he fell down on the bed and fell asleep.

The next morning, he got up as usual to wash and stand on the fist stance. After only one hour, someone came to the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion and waited.

Li Xin slowly stood up with his fist stance, then washed his face, and looked at the young man who had been waiting here for half an hour.

"Why did General Xie Lang come so early? Has he eaten?"

Xie Dai held his fists respectfully at Li Xin.
