Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 698 Sleepless night

With this promise from old man Ye, Li Xin left Chen Guogong's mansion, and together with Wang Zhong, personally sent the seventeen old soldiers back to their homes, until the last old farmer living in the suburbs of Beijing was killed by his great-grandson. When the son took it back, Li Xin looked at the old man's back and let out a long breath.

   "Master, let's go back."

Comparatively speaking, although Wang Zhong is not too young, he has practiced Neijia Quan diligently since he was a child. In terms of lethality, Neijia Boxing is much inferior to Waijia Kungfu, so much so that he was in the army forty years ago. At that time, Wang Zhong, who had been practicing martial arts since childhood, was actually not Ye Sheng's opponent in a fight, but this kind of kung fu with breathing, breathing, and nourishing qi, the further back the better.

   Old man Wang also had gray hair, but he walked steadily and breathed long. Li Xin even suspected that he could not beat the old man with one hand now.

   But Lao Wang Zhong's face is not very good-looking.

   He walked in front of Li Xin honestly and spoke slowly.

   "Ye Shuai's body is very bad..."

   Of course he spoke in a low voice.

   "I have been in contact with Ye Shuai for a long time, and found that his breathing is erratic, he has no strength under his feet, and sometimes he often closes his eyes to rest."

   "The reason why he kept his eyes closed should not be because of thinking, but because of dizziness."

  Wang Zhong stopped, looked back at Li Xin, who was walking quietly, and said solemnly, "Chang'an, what happened to Ye Shuai?"

   Li Xin was silent for a moment, and then said, "There was a problem starting last fall. I found a famous doctor from Hanzhong for the old man, and he has been resting at home these days."

   Having said that, Li Xin did not say any more.

  This afternoon, Wang Zhong and others did bring danger to Ye Sheng's life, but this matter cannot be explained clearly. Once it is explained, most of these seventeen veterans, including Wang Zhong, will not survive.

   They will commit suicide.

   Old Wang Zhong took a deep breath and said nothing.

  Li Xin chased after him, followed behind him, and said in a low voice, "Master Wang, tomorrow I will have someone send you some money, and you help distribute the money to these old soldiers."

  Wang Zhong kept walking, just asked indifferently: "Why?"

  Jing'an Marquis said helplessly: "Master Ye ordered it."

   Wang Zhong's expression changed.

   "Then I don't want it."

   "I didn't let your old man ask for it."

Li Xin smiled at Wang Zhong and said, "You are also the Zuo Lang of Yulinwei after all. Your salary is not rich or noble, but at least it is enough for your drinking expenses. a bit."

   "You don't want to see Master Ye sad, don't you?"

  Wang Zhong paused for a moment, then nodded silently.

  The two separated near Datongfang. Wang Zhong returned to the Yulinwei camp, while Li Xin returned to his Jinganhou mansion.

   By the time Li Xin returned to the mansion, it was already midnight. He simply ate something, washed up, and went back to the backyard to rest.

In the small courtyard in the backyard, the eldest princess was holding Li Ping, the young son of Hou Mansion, and coaxing him to sleep. After hearing the sound of Li Xin approaching, the eldest princess who was sitting beside the bed moved to the side and said softly. : "Why did you come back so late?"

When Li Xin walked in, she could clearly see the black green on Li Xin's left eye, the eldest princess exclaimed, and quickly put down the little son in her arms, walked to Li Xin's side, looked at Li Xin's eyes seriously, and said. Asked, "What happened?"

  The Marquis of Jing An held her hand with a smile and said, "I accidentally punched someone, it's not a big problem, it'll be fine in two days, as for why I came back so late..."

   He sighed.

   "Those old people must be sent back one by one."

   Today, the eldest princess also went to Ye's house. She naturally knew that the seventeen old pawns gathered in Chen Guogong's mansion.

  Li Xin smiled: "If they lost one or two, wouldn't Master Ye eat me alive?"

Seeing that Li Xin was really okay, the eldest princess put her heart down, nodded and said with a smile, "Since I grew up listening to Master Ye's story, I always thought that Master Ye was a vicious and tyrannical murderer. When the old people sat together, they realized that Master Ye is actually a good person."

   "How can that old man be considered a good man?"

Li Xin laughed dumbly, and said, "Forty years ago, there were hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Northern Zhou Dynasty who died directly under his hands. Until now, the Yuwen tribes in the north are still afraid of the flag of the leaf character like a tiger. After all, Master Ye is a great villain that has not been seen in a hundred years."

   In the past few years, Li Xin has learned a lot about the current situation of the Yuwen departments in the north. He naturally knows what kind of image his teacher is in the Yuwen departments.

To this day, if the children of the Yuwen tribes outside Guanwai are disobedient, the adults will say to the children, "Cry again, the evil coming from the south will catch you and eat you". Don't dare to be obedient.

  Evil Comes is not Ye Sheng's name, but someone from the Northern Zhou Dynasty gave him a nickname 40 years ago.

   "How can you do that."

Princess    put down the sleeping child in her arms and said softly, "We are from Dajin, so naturally we have to stand on the side of Dajin people to see things. In my heart, Master Ye is more powerful than grandfather."

  The eldest princess is the daughter of the emperor of Chengde, and her grandfather is naturally the emperor Wu.

   Li Xin said with a smile: "Your Highness, you slandered the ancestors, be careful to catch the sect's house tomorrow."

   The eldest princess rolled her eyes at Li Xin, and said coquettishly, "People won't say it in front of outsiders."

   Ye Sheng's words that he is more powerful than Emperor Wu are destined to be only private words in the boudoir, and he can't say it, and he can't say it.

After the couple chatted for a while, Li Xin, who had been busy all day, felt sleepy. He yawned, carried Xiao Li Ping to the cradle beside him, and sat on the edge of the bed and said, "I'll go to bed first. Well, tomorrow morning, I have to go to Chen Guogong's mansion to watch."

Princess    looked at Li Xin in surprise.

   "Isn't Master Ye's birthday party already over, what else do we need to see?"

   Li Xin was already lying on the bed with his clothes closed. He did not answer this question, but sighed leisurely.

  The eldest princess was very smart and didn't ask any more questions. After she handed her little daughter to the maid Cui Er to take it down, she also took off her coat, lay down beside Li Xin, covered the quilt and turned off the lights to sleep.

   This night seems to be no different from normal.

   But unfortunately, this is destined to be a sleepless night.

   Li Xin had just been lying down for an hour, which is two hours when he was ugly, when there was a sudden knock on the door of the two of them.

  Because it was late at night, people outside the door did not dare to knock too loudly, but Li Xin, who was nervous, jumped up from the bed like a spring after hearing the sound.

   Without saying a word, he started getting dressed.

The eldest princess was also awakened, and she whispered, "Husband, what happened?"

   At this time, Li Xin had almost finished wearing his clothes. He took a deep breath and said, "I don't know what happened yet, but it shouldn't be a good thing."

   At this time, Li Xin felt extremely uncomfortable, and a particularly bad feeling permeated his heart.

   "You... just rest at home, I may have to work outside for a few days..."

   said, Li Xin walked out of the inner room and pushed open the outside door.

  Chen Shiliu respectfully waited outside.

  Li Xin didn't speak, just looked at him blankly.

   This one-armed butler of the Marquis of Jing'an's house has a rare trembling voice.

   "Master Hou, Master Ye he..."

   "On the verge of dying..."
