Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 1088 Coaxing and deceiving

   Zhao Yi entered the capital smoothly, which seemed to be very smooth, but behind the scenes was Li Xin's Anbu in the capital, and he was sent in at the risk of exposure.

In these years, Li Xin has lived in the capital for almost ten years. The Anbu in the capital is also the place where he spends the most effort. Some of these Anbu are restaurant shopkeepers, some are the bosses of antique shops, and some are stolen by Li Xin. Use relationships to arrange for police officers in various yamen, and even...

   There are also some who were promoted from Yulinwei to the "Yulinwei First Line" after the change of the Imjin Palace.

  After all, the court is not deaf and blind. The court has Tianmujian, Meihuawei, and I don’t know how many ears and eyes hidden in the dark. It is a huge risk to arrange people to enter the capital at this time.

   This is also the reason why Li Xin himself did not enter the capital.

   Zhao Yi finally entered Liushufang and met the person he wanted to meet after the efforts of many people.

   This person is the old man in front of him, He Xiong, General He.

He Siong, who was under the command of General Ye Ming in his early years, was the commander of the Zhenbei Army. He made countless contributions in the military account. Later, because of chasing and killing the Xianbei tribesmen who invaded the border, the little finger of his right hand was shot by the Xianbei people, and he could not hold the weapon steadily since then. , Unable to pull the bowstring, he retreated from the front line of the Zhenbei Army, entered the Chen Guogong's mansion, and sat in the family general of Chen Guogong's mansion.

In the first year of Taikang, Emperor Taikang and Li Xin planned to control the forbidden army, and finally successfully carried Pei Jin into the Grand Governor's Mansion. Li Xin himself also sat in the position of the general of the right battalion of the forbidden army, but at that time. , Li Xin is only eighteen years old, and he has no experience in leading troops, so he is not very good at controlling the imperial army. His husband, Ye Sheng, selected eight "loans" from the family generals of Chen Guogong's mansion to Li Xin to help him. He takes care of the embargo.

  He Xiong is one of them.

   Among the eight generals of Duke Chen's mansion, he was the first to be the commander of Zhechong in Fangshan Zhechong's mansion. Later, after following Li Xin's westward expedition, he became the deputy general of the right battalion of the forbidden army, helping Li Xin to manage the right battalion of the forbidden army.

Back then, Li Xin led the Forbidden Army's Right Battalion to the west and successfully conquered the southwest. Because the credit was too heavy and he needed to avoid suspicion, Old Man Ye also asked him to hide his edge. Therefore, in those years, Li Xin held the position of the General of the Forbidden Army's Right Battalion. , but rarely went to the right camp of the Imperial Guard to deal with military affairs. The one who was really in charge of the right battalion of the Imperial Guard was this General He Songhe.

Later, Li Xin stepped down from the position of the General of the Right Battalion of the Forbidden Army, and He Song took over the position as he should, and became a veritable General of the Right Camp of the Forbidden Army. principal.

   Until the Yuanzhao period, he was still the general of the right battalion of the forbidden army.

   It was not until the end of last year that the Southwest Army officially left Shu, and because He Song had an "old relationship" with Li Xin and was born in Chen Guogong's mansion, the emperor took the opportunity to take away the position of General Youying and let him idle in the capital.

   But when he followed Li Xin, he was already forty years old. After more than ten years, he was fifty-five or sixteen years old, and he had reached the age of "retirement".

   Now, there is no Ye family in Chen Guogong's mansion, so he can't go back again. In addition, He Siong has become a self-supporting family business over the years, so he lives in Liushufang and enjoys his "retirement" life.

  When a young man like Zhao Yi stood in front of him and said "General He", He Xiong was stunned for a while, and then asked, "Who is Xiao Langjun?"

   Zhao Yi respectfully saluted He Xiong, cupped his hands and said, "This junior is from the southwest."

With these words, He Song's expression changed immediately. He was sitting under the big willow tree in Liushufang, but when he heard the words, he stood up immediately. He walked slowly towards his home.

   "I don't know anyone from the southwest."

  He Xiong coughed twice, his voice a little hoarse.

   "It's getting late, the old man is going home."

   Zhao Yi is not surprised by this situation. After all, at this moment, everyone in the capital is in danger, and everyone should be cautious, which is also a matter of course.

   He walked towards He Xiong, then quietly took out the seal that Li Xin gave him, and handed it to the old general.

   This seal is not big, only the size of an adult thumb. It is made of jasper and engraved with four inscriptions.

  Changan private seal.

  In this era, a man often has many seals, in addition to the official seal, there are also seals with names, characters and nicknames. For example, when Li Xin was working in Beijing, he had more than ten seals because of too many titles, but this seal was special.

   Li Xin's name Chang'an was given to him by his husband Ye Sheng, and this seal was also given to Li Xin by Ye Sheng. Li Xin had been carrying it with him for so many years and rarely left.

   After getting this seal, He Xiong didn't say much, just put the seal into his sleeve silently, his voice was inaudible.

   "After sunset, come to my back door..."

   After saying this, the old general floated away and took Li Xin's private seal with him.

  …

  After sunset, Zhao Yi waited at the back door of He Song's house with his hands down. After it got darker, a family member of He's family led him in.

   After walking in the backyard of He's house for a while, Zhao Yicai was taken to the door of a study, led his servant, and bowed his head respectfully towards the study: "Master, someone has brought it here."

   "Understood, you go down."

   The servant quickly retreated, while Zhao Yi reached out and knocked on the door. After getting permission, he pushed open the door and walked in.

  This is He Xi's study, but it doesn't look like a study. There is a longbow, spears, and swords in the study. It looks more like a arsenal.

   After Zhao Yi entered, He Song pointed to the stool in the study and said, "Sit down and talk."

   Zhao Yi sat down properly.

  He Song looked at Zhao Yi up and down and asked, "Who is Li Hou Ye from Xiao Langjun?"

   Zhao Yi bowed respectfully: "It's the adoptive father of the younger generation."

"Oh."

  He Xiong nodded and said, "A hero is a young man, and it is really rare for Xiao Langjun to sneak into the capital at this time."

   Having said this, He Xiong paused and continued: "I remember when I first met Li Houye in Chen Guogong's mansion, Li Houye was almost the same age as Xiao Langjun."

   He sighed with emotion for a while, and after sighing, he opened his mouth and asked: "Xiao Langjun took such a big risk to come to the capital to see me, an old man, don't know what it is?"

   Zhao Yi was a little nervous in his heart, but there was no expression on his face. He looked up at He Xiong, and said solemnly, "The boy is bringing a few words to the old general on behalf of the foster father."

   He Xiong frowned slightly.

   "I don't know what the Hou Ye ordered?"

Zhao Yi took a deep breath and gritted his teeth: "The old general should also know what the situation is outside the capital now. The forbidden army is not the opponent of the Southwest Army. The four Zhechong houses that went out of the city to meet the enemy a few days ago are all the right camp of the forbidden army. The soldiers and soldiers are all the old generals of the old generals, and if they continue to fight, more people will be killed by the banned army. The meaning of the adoptive father is that the old generals should take care of the overall situation..."

   "This old man has been under the command of Lord Li for nearly ten years. Originally, what the Lord ordered should be done..."

   Having said this, He Xiong smiled bitterly: "Only at the end of last year, this old man resigned from the right battalion of the Forbidden Army, and now he is just an ordinary grass-roots citizen in the capital. Even if he wants to help Li Houye, he is powerless."

   This remark was obviously a refusal. Li Xin also knew that He Song was no longer in his position, but he had been a de facto general in the right battalion of the Forbidden Army for more than ten years, and the contacts he had accumulated had surpassed that of the court documents.

   Therefore, Li Xincai asked Zhao Yi to venture into Beijing to find him.

   Once he opened his mouth, he could control the right battalion of the forbidden army to a certain extent, not to mention that they would turn against each other, as long as they stayed put, Li Xin would have enough confidence to enter the capital.

   Zhao Yi lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Old general, Hou Jingde of the Zuoying of the forbidden army, has joined forces with his foster father..."
