Unparalleled Concubine

Chapter 466: past present and future

Chapter 466 Past Present and Future

As Ye Sheng said, for the current Li Xin, the status of the concubine does not bring him any help, but only brings constraints to him, but Li Xin does not regret marrying the Ninth Princess.

If you are alive, you shouldn’t suffer if you don’t suffer, but if you plan everything carefully, you will be living a life as a steel scale, which is meaningless.

Besides, Li Xin's marriage to the princess was not decided by him alone, but with the two generations of emperors from Chengde Taikang behind the scenes. It is only Li Xin who has taken advantage of the situation to this point.

Master and apprentice played two or three games. Li Xin and Ye Sheng each won one game in the first two games. In the third game, Ye Sheng, who was at a disadvantage, coughed and waved his hand.

"I'm a little tired today, so I won't play this chess for now. The old man has something to discuss with you."

There is still some gap between the two players in their chess skills. With Li Xin not letting go, it was difficult for Old Man Ye, who had not changed much in his chess path, to beat him.

Li Xin blinked and said with a smile: "What's the matter, why don't you finish this game of chess."

Old man Ye had a serious expression, he directly reached out his hand to disrupt the chessboard, and said earnestly, "This kind of thing is playful, there's nothing to do, it's important to do business."

Li Xin glanced at the chaotic chess game, and sighed helplessly: "If you're welcome, a chess player like Master Ye has been beaten long ago in our village..."

Old man Ye widened his eyes and raised his fists.

"Who can beat Lao Tzu?"

“….”

In this world, although there are no heroes who are high up and down, there are serious men who are at the level of a hundred enemies. Old man Ye was such a strong brother when he was young. Even if he is in his seventies now, there are not many men. Young people can beat him.

The old school Wei Wang Zhong, who was trained in martial arts, is not necessarily an opponent of old man Ye.

Among the people Li Xin knew at present, Old Man Ye was a serious personal force ceiling.

Thinking of this, Li Xin sighed helplessly and lowered his head: "What does Master Ye want to say?"

Ye Sheng put away his fists and grinned.

"This time, Ye Mao, I want to go to the southwest with you."

Li Xin nodded and said, "I want to go with the disciple. This was discussed by the disciple and the senior brother, and it was also nodded by His Majesty."

While talking, Li Xin gathered up his chess pieces and said in a low voice, "As long as this battle to retake the southwest can be won, the Ye family's credit will be assured. At that time, there will be Senior Brother Xiao Ye in the north, and Senior Brother Ye can enter the court or return to the north. No matter what, Ye Mao's position in the capital is as stable as Mount Tai."

Having said this, Li Xin smiled.

"Speaking from the heart, the disciple is very envious of Ye Mao. If the disciple has a parent like Master Ye and Brother Ye, he can enjoy peace and wealth in peace, and there is no need to worry about it."

Old man Ye tapped the table with his hand, his tone disdainful.

"Everyone has their own destiny. No matter how good the old man and Ye Ming think, it depends on Ye Mao's own destiny. You are different from Ye Mao, and your future is much broader than his."

Li Xin shook his head, concentrated on placing the pieces in the chess box, and didn't say much.

Ye Sheng stood up from the stool, pondered for a while, and then said, "Once the war breaks out, the front line will be blinded by swords and swords. If Ye Ming wants to control the overall situation, there is probably no way to take Ye Mao into account, Chang'an..."

At this time, Li Xin had already put away the chess pieces and put them aside. Hearing this, he raised his head and smiled and said, "Master Ye wants the disciples to protect Ye Mao?"

"Not to protect him."

Ye Sheng sighed.

"The old man wants you to protect his life."

When he was young, Ye Sheng was an ordinary Qiu Ba in the army. At best, he was a brave Qiu Ba who was desperate to fight in battle. At that time, Ye Sheng only believed in his fists and the spear in his hand. Yu Yin, the second generation who spent their days in the army earning military exploits.

The world has changed, and forty or fifty years have passed in a blink of an eye, and Ye Sheng will do the thing he despised the most.

Actually, this is quite understandable.

No matter how hard-hearted people are, after becoming parents, their hearts will soften. Even the toughest person, like Ye Sheng, who is very strict with his children, becomes a grandfather and after having grandchildren, he can't help but spoil him.

Moreover, Ye Sheng's most proud son, Ye Ming, has been away for so many years, and the young man Ye Mao has always been with old man Ye. Although Ye Sheng is very rude to Ye Mao on weekdays, with such a grandson, who would Not distressed?

Li Xin smiled and bowed his head: "Master Ye, don't worry, if the disciple doesn't die, Ye Mao won't die."

"With your words, this old man will be relieved."

Ye Sheng smiled.

"You're like a monkey, you won't die if anyone dies."

Li Xin rolled his eyes at the old man, then looked up at the sky.

He and the Ninth Princess came here for lunch. They have been in Chen Guogong's mansion for an hour or two. The winter days are relatively short, and it will be dark now.

Li Xin put away the chess box, and then cupped his hands to Ye Sheng: "Master Ye, if there is nothing to do here, the disciple will go back."

Ye Sheng took Li Xin's hand and said with a smile, "It's rare that you and your wife are here together. We're going to have a meal here tonight. The old man ordered the cook to do it."

Li Xin shook his head.

"Master Ye, the disciples should not stay here to eat at this time, let alone eat here with the eldest princess."

Seeing that a war is about to take place, the main general is Ye Ming, the uncle of Chen Guogong's mansion. Although Li Xin has long been indistinguishable from Chen Guogong's mansion, he should not be too close at this time, so as not to cause criticism from the court and the public.

Ye Sheng frowned for a while, and then said solemnly, "Forget it, if you say that, the old man won't let you."

"I will send you."

Li Xin shook his head again and again and said with a smile: "How can there be a reason for the master to send the apprentice, just let Ye Mao send it away?"

Old man Ye was very stubborn, he just sent Li Xin and his wife to the main gate of Chen Guogong's mansion. Li Xin first put the nine princesses on the carriage, then turned around and bowed to Ye Sheng.

"Master Ye, the disciples are leaving."

Ye Sheng looked Li Xin up and down, and after a while of silence, he said, "Chang'an, this old man wants to ask you a question."

Li Xin smiled and said, "Master Ye, don't hesitate to ask, the disciple knows everything."

"What is your purpose as an official?"

Jing'an Hou was stunned for a while, then smiled and said, "Why did Master Ye ask this all of a sudden?"

"Because you are too careful."

Ye Sheng took a deep breath and looked directly at Li Xin.

"You should have a big and big goal in your heart, so every step you take is like walking on thin ice, for fear that you will take the wrong step."

Li Xin was silent.

After a while, he looked at Ye Sheng and smiled bitterly.

"In the beginning, there was no goal, just to survive in the shadow of the big mountain of Pingnan Houfu, so as not to be trampled to death by them, and then forced to work in the Wei Wangfu, by coincidence, to now ."

"Now, I'm a little more angry, thinking about whether I can let the Marquis of Pingnan pay a little price for what I've done."

Ye Sheng looked directly at Li Xin.

"What about the future?"

"The future?"

This time, Li Xin was silent for a long time.

Then he also looked at Ye Sheng with a calm expression.

"In the future, if it is possible, the disciple imagines to be like Master Ye."

Old man Ye frowned.

"What's the meaning?"

Jing An Hou smiled slightly.

"It's the ability to overturn the chess game when you don't win when you play chess."

"Stop playing."
