When the Meihua Guard tied up Lin Hu in Jincheng, Li Xin asked Xiao Zheng about the mark of the Meihua Guard, so that not only Lin Hu was rescued, but more than half of the hundreds of Meihua Guards in Jincheng died in the end.

If this matter is said, Xiao Zheng will definitely die. No matter how high his status in the inner court is, he is just a slave to the emperor. If the slave is trashed, he will naturally have to clean up the door.

Besides, even if the emperor does not kill him, the people in the Meihua Guard will know that it is their immediate boss who betrayed him. These guys who are used to murder will probably take action and take Xiao Zheng's life.

Eunuch Xiao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, looked up at Li Xin, and gritted his teeth and said, "Teacher Li, it was not me who wanted you to return to Beijing, but His Majesty wanted you to return to Beijing. Even if I turn around and leave now, the court will definitely send more people to find the tutor when I look back."

Marquis Jing'an had no expression on his face.

"I will go back when it's time to go back. I asked Eunuch Xiao to tell His Majesty that when Li Xin's condition is cured, he will definitely return to Beijing to do things for the court."

Xiao Zheng bowed to Li Xin with a bitter face.

"So, I will say goodbye now."

He looked at Li Xin deeply and said, "Tao Fu, after I leave, Qianniu Guard will definitely go to Ningling to find someone. If you don't want to go back to Beijing, it would be better to leave Ningling early, otherwise the three imperial guards in the capital will sooner or later find Ningling."

Li Xin had no expression on his face.

"I see."

Eunuch Xiao sighed, looked at Li Xin deeply, and then turned around and left.

He had this handle in Li Xin's hands, and he would not dare to force people to come in to catch Li Xin no matter what. Otherwise, once the news was released, Li Xin stayed safe in the southwest, and he, Xiao Zheng, would definitely be cut into pieces by the emperor.

After Xiao Zheng left, Li Xin turned around and looked at Ye Mao, shook his head helplessly: "I originally wanted to stay in Ningling for a few more days, but it seems that I can't stay anymore. I will pack up my things and prepare to leave in a while."

Ye Mao nodded and asked, "Uncle Master is going back to the southwest?"

"Maybe."

Li Xin said in a deep voice: "After I leave, don't stay in Ningling to mourn your senior brother. Just let your two sons stay here to guard. You can go back to Beijing to meet the emperor, get the documents as soon as possible, and then go back to Jimen Pass."

Ye Mao frowned and said, "Uncle Master said, what will happen if something happens to Jimen Pass?"

"I guess."

Li Xin slowly let out a sigh: "Yuwen Zhao is absolutely terrified. He has accumulated enough strength and will definitely want to re-enter the pass. At that time, he can only walk on two roads, Jimen Pass or Yunzhou City. The family in Yunzhou City is difficult to chew. Compared with Jimen Pass, which does not have the main general, it is easier to fight."

Li Xin looked at Ye Mao and said in a deep voice: "You must go back to Jizhou as soon as possible. You cannot stay in the court all the time. Otherwise, those big-headed scholars who are as obedient as lotus pods have some bad thoughts, and you may have to stay in Beijing as an official and cannot go to Jizhou."

"Jizhou Town Beijun is the foundation of the Ye family. There must be Ye family members watching there, otherwise something may happen."

"I said so to me before my father died."

Ye Mao frowned.

"But I think the court should not be so stupid. My Ye family has been guarding the national gates for more than 40 years. It is impossible for the court to give up the 100,000 North Army in vain and make things difficult for my Ye family."

"It was naturally impossible."

Li Xin pointed to his nose and smiled bitterly: "But if the relationship between the Ye family and me is different."

He pointed to the direction Xiao Zheng was leaving and said, "How do you think Xiao Zheng will repay the emperor after he returns to Beijing?"

Ye Mao could be said to know nothing about grasping people's hearts. He frowned and said, "I don't know."

"The court already knows that I am here. Xiao Zheng brings people here, so it is natural that he will not see me. After he goes back, he will tell the emperor that it is you, Ye Mao, who blocked him and Qianniu Guard. Xiao Zheng returned in vain to take into account the overall situation."

"Just this sentence, Your Majesty will be more suspicious of the Ye family."

Ye Mao frowned.

"Uncle Master..."

"You want to say that I shouldn't be able to hide, or directly threaten Xiao Zheng and tell him not to tell me about my whereabouts?"

Li Xin let out a breath and said helplessly: "If I don't come out today, Xiao Zheng will not give up. By then, Qianniuwei will really enter the Ye family's village. Not to mention the face of Duke Chen's mansion, even Master Ye's face will be lost."

"Although I have taken the handle that can cause him to die, this handle can make him do things, but he cannot really die. The court has already known in advance that I am in Ningling. He will hide it back and not tell me, and will be cut off by the emperor."

"Although he is a eunuch and has no offspring, but eunuchs also have clans. He can easily decide what he should do with both sides."

Ye Mao stood there in a daze.

Li Xin reached out and patted the big man on the shoulder and sighed slowly.

"Maybe I shouldn't have come to Ningling, but Senior Brother Ye is dead and I hide in the southwest, which is a bit unreasonable."

"I didn't mean to harm the Ye family. I came all the way from Jincheng along the path, and even hid in the day and night, and only brought one or twenty close people with me, and almost never told anyone about my whereabouts, but the court still knew very clearly where I was."

Speaking of this, Li Xin slowly closed his eyes and smiled bitterly helplessly.

"It means that I have people from the court around me. I will go and check this matter carefully and I will definitely find out the person who reported the news to the court."

Ye Mao stood there in a daze, and after a long time of silence, he slowly said, "I won't blame Uncle Master."

The third Duke of Chen from the Jin Dynasty smiled bitterly.

"Since my grandfather, the court has never believed in the Ye family. It doesn't matter if I don't let me leave the capital. No one can control the Zhenbei Army except our surname Ye."

Marquis Jing'an lowered his eyebrows slightly.

"You go back to Beijing as soon as possible. I can't stay here for too long, otherwise it will not drag down the Ye family, but it will also drag down the Yejiazhuang in Ningling."

After saying that, Li Xin turned around and left.

Ye Mao looked at Li Xin's departure back and was silent for a long time without saying a word.

………………………………………

Three days later, Ye Mao left his two sons in Ningling and mourned his father for his mother. He himself took the rest of the Ye family back to the capital. The people from the Ningling Marquis' Mansion slowly returned in a carriage, while he led more than a dozen generals to the capital on fast horses.

After arriving in the capital, he returned to Duke Chen's mansion to change into a court uniform, washed up briefly, and then went to the palace to ask for the emperor.

As Duke Chen, it is naturally easy to see the emperor. The emperor met Ye Mao in the study of Weiyang Palace.

The emperor ascended the throne at the age of fourteen or five. Now he has been four years old. He has become a 19-year-old young man. Compared to the fear and anxiety of sitting on the throne four years ago, the emperor is about to be weak, has passed the "internship period" and is a qualified emperor.

Seeing Ye Mao kneeling in front of him, the emperor immediately raised his hand and said, "Ye Qing, please get up."

After Ye Mao got up, the emperor stood up from the chair, sighed, and said, "Mr. Ye passed away suddenly. I and the Chinese civil and military officials in the court are very sad. Ye Qing must be mournful and follow the changes."

Ye Mao took a deep breath, bent down to the emperor, and bowed his hand to salute.

"Your Majesty, my father's funeral has been completed. I am concerned about the military affairs of Jimen Pass and want to return to Jimen Pass as soon as possible to guard the northern border gate for Your Majesty."
