Chapter 213: Is Lord Hou giving up?

After leaving the capital, Li Xin went to Ningling specifically. Under the leadership of the Ye family, he went to the grave to burn some paper for the old man and kowtowed a few times.

Over the past ten years, Li Xin has seen too many people, two generations of emperors, various royal relatives, countless officials and generals in the army, but from the bottom of his heart, only Old Man Ye was admired.

The only controversial thing Ye Sheng has done over the years is that he handed over military power and returned to Beijing to retire. Of course, this is also the most difficult thing he did. After all, General Ye was only in his early forties at that time, and it was the time when a man was the most career-oriented. Being able to resolutely remove his armor at that threshold was something that most people could not do.

In addition, Ye Sheng's life was a perfect life for a general. When he was a young man, he climbed with his military achievements all the way. He was in his forties and then retired to the world.

The most important thing is to die.

Each of these things is not easy, but Ye Sheng did it all.

After visiting the tomb in Ningling, Li Xin did not stay for too long. He only lived in the ancestral home of the Ye family in Ningling for a day, then left. After walking slowly along the way for the whole spring, the group finally stepped on the land of Yongzhou Prefecture. After arriving at the boundary of Yongzhou, Li Xin called Xie Dai and said, "I have reached the boundary of my hometown. General Xie Lang has sent him here and can go back."

Xie Dai hesitated for a moment and said, "Tao Fu, the lower lord always wants to go to pay homage to the eldest princess."

If we count it carefully, the Xie family is still a relative of Li Xin's family, and the most noble person in Li Xin's family is naturally Princess Qinghe.

Li Xin smiled and said, "You go in with me, with great fanfare. You will be shocked by local governments along the way, and there is no need."

Xie Dai looked back at the dozen carriages behind him and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has given so many maids and servants to the Grand Tutor, and they all followed along, and they are not short of those who are the officials."

Li Xin glanced at Xie Dai, then smiled in silence: "Forget it, if you like to follow, you will follow. Most of us will alarm the local government. I am too lazy to deal with them. You send a team of Yulin Guards out and tell the government people, telling them where they should go."

Xie Dai bowed respectfully: "I will do it now."

From the east to enter the boundary of Yongzhou, it is directly Qiyang County, and a little further west is Yongzhou Prefecture City. Therefore, it took Li Xin and others only one day to enter the Qiyang County Government Office, and a group of people slowly entered the city from the gate of the county town.

Li Xin is a person who doesn’t like to be arrogant, but the 200 Yulin Guards and more than 100 servants given by the emperor can’t help but not be arrogant. Most of the people in Qiyang County stood by the roadside, watching this big figure who appeared in Qiyang County for hundreds of years.

Originally, the people from the Qiyang County Government Office would come to greet Li Xin, but Li Xin greeted him in advance. In order to dare not touch the bad intentions of the dynasty, these people could only secretly hide and secretly watch Li Xin enter the city.

With so many fellow villagers surrounding him, Li Xin was not very good at all. He asked Xie Dai and Yulinwei to distribute some money along the way, which was a disguised stimulating the economy of his hometown.

In this way, they entered Qiyang County at noon, and it was not until evening that they arrived at the gate of Li’s house at the foot of Qishan Mountain. Li Xin jumped out of the carriage, looked back at Xie Dai, and said with a smile: “How many days will Xie Lang stay here before leaving?”

"I dare not stay."

Xie Dai quickly lowered his head and smiled bitterly, "The Lord kowtowed to the eldest princess and left."

Marquis Jing'an patted his shoulder understandingly, and said with a smile: "Can Xie Lang is a smart person."

While the two were talking, the middle door of Li's house was wide open. The Ninth Princess brought Li Xin's eldest daughter Li Shu, youngest son Li Ping, Zhong Xiaoxiao, Hui Niang and other families to greet Li Xin.

Li Xin walked up with a smile, first hugged Princess Ninth, then bent down, and hugged her son and daughter in her arms.

At this time, his eldest daughter Ahan was already seven years old and was quite heavy in his arms. Marquis Jing'an put his son on the ground, reached out and pinched the eldest daughter's nose, and said with a smile: "Ahan has gained weight."

Xiao Ahan inherited her mother's foodie attributes and liked to find delicious food everywhere since she was a child. However, she obviously did not inherit her mother's physique that she would not be fat. She is only seven years old now and looks a little chubby.

Xiao Ahan reached out to put his hand around his father's neck and snorted softly.

"My dad misread it. I didn't eat weight, I just grew taller."

Mr. Li laughed and hugged her into the gate of Li's house, talking to his family while walking.

Xie Dai stepped forward with a tough bullet, kowtowed to the Ninth Princess, and left with a group of Yulin Guards.

The Ninth Princess's eyebrows were flowing and looked at the more than 100 servants left by Xie Dai, most of whom were maids.

Li Xin felt his wife's gaze and quickly smiled and said, "Your eldest nephew sent you to take care of you, it has nothing to do with me."

The eldest princess then relaxed her eyebrows and asked softly: "How is Yan'er doing well as the emperor?"

Marquis Jing'an smiled meaningfully.

“It’s so good.”

While walking, Li Xin was walking with his children and Zhong Xiaohua. He hadn't seen each other for a long time. He grew a little longer and looked like he was a completely big girl. Li Xin used Zhao Fang's incident to tease her, and the girl immediately ran away with a blushing face.

After entering the main hall, Princess Ninth remembered something and said, "By the way, Mr. You'an arrived yesterday. She said she heard that her husband was coming back and she was waiting here specifically."

Li Xin was a little surprised.

"Zhao Jia is in Qiyang?"

Princess Nine nodded: "It's in the backyard, and he said he was not convenient to show up, so he didn't go to welcome his husband."

Only then did Li Xin put Xiao Ahan down from his arms and said, "Be good, Ahan, go and play with Aunt Zhong, Dad will see you Uncle Zhao."

When Ahan was a child, he was raised by Li Xin and was very close to his father. He heard this and pouted and ran away unhappily.

At this time, there were no one nearby. Li Xin turned around and hugged the eldest princess, then walked towards his backyard.

In the garden in the backyard, Zhao Jia, dressed in white, had been waiting for a long time.

Li Xin walked up and smiled and said, "Brother You'an is not busy with work in Jincheng, why did he come to Qiyang County?"

Zhao Jia stood up to greet him and laughed: "I heard that the Marquis is coming back, so my subordinates took the liberty to welcome the Marquis in Qiyang."

Zhao Jia blinked.

"Mu Ying was clamoring to come, but my subordinates spent a lot of effort to persuade him."

This scholar in white dress looked at Li Xin with a smile.

"I heard that the Marquis is in the capital, and it is a little unhappy?"

Marquis Jing'an touched his nose and said a little embarrassedly: "Brother You'an is in the southwest, so the news is very well-informed."

"It's been a few months, how can I not know?"

Zhao Jia smiled.

"The former emperor granted the King of Shu to the south, and now he granted the King of Yan to the north, which is a lineage."

He looked at Li Xin and smiled: "When the Yuwen Ministry was granted the title of King of Yan, the Marquis was afraid that the Marquis was very unhappy?"

Li Xin slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

"You'an has nothing to say, so you don't have to worry about the bush."

Zhao Jia's smile was calm and he bent over and bowed deeply to Li Xin.

"A man from the Southwest greets the marquis of the Southwest."
