Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 499 For the Emperor

Li Shen and Li Yan came to Hanzhong quietly. They didn't disclose their whereabouts, and they didn't even bring a few people here. It stands to reason that Ye Ming shouldn't know that he was in Hanzhong anyway, but he chose to The letter was sent here.

   In this way, Li Shen frowned inwardly.

   Could it be that there are some spies around you?

  Thinking of this, he put the letter back into his sleeve, then turned around and asked Li Yan, "How many people know that we came to Hanzhong?"

   "A dozen or so."

   Li Yan was also a little surprised, he whispered: "These people are all high-level leaders of our Pingnan Army. If they really want to betray the big brother, they can have a better way, there is no need to leak the news..."

At the top of the Pingnan Army, everyone can lead more than 10,000 soldiers and horses. Li Yan means that if these people are willing to betray Li Shen, they can use a more drastic method, or even let the Pingnan Army directly. Greatly hurt.

   Li Yan's implication is that it is unlikely that someone around him betrays him.

Li Shen lowered his eyebrows and thought for a moment, then thought of a possibility, he lowered his eyebrows and said: "Since Ye Ming is coming to fight Hanzhong, he may guess that I am coming to Hanzhong, if he guesses, it means you I underestimate this Ye Family son."

   Li Yan's complexion also changed. If Ye Ming relied on calculations, even if Li Shen would appear in Hanzhong at this time, then this opponent would be a little scary.

   At this time, neither of these two big figures in the southwest thought that the reason why Ye Ming could guess that Li Shen might appear in Hanzhong was because of a young man's reminder.

   This young man's surname is Zhao Mingjia.

   It was because of Zhao Jia's reminder that Ye Ming was a little alert to Hanzhong, but he sent someone to send a letter to Hanzhong, largely to test whether Li Shen was in Hanzhong or not.

   This kind of temptation has no cost. If Li Shen is not in Hanzhong, let Hanzhong transfer to Jincheng. If Li Shen is in Hanzhong, then he is right.

  Li Yan took a deep breath and said, "Brother, if Ye Ming is testing us, then we can send this letter to Jincheng immediately, so that Ye Ming can't tell our pulse."

   At this time, where Li Shen is is very important, because this is directly related to whether Hanzhong will increase his troops, and how Ye Ming will fight Hanzhong.

  Li Shen shook his head slightly.

   "If the letter was sent out as soon as it was delivered to Hanzhong, it might be able to confuse Ye Ming, but at this time it has been delivered to this Hanzhong General's Mansion, and the matter is exposed."

  The reason is very simple. Meng Qi, the general of Hanzhong, would never dare to block or go over Li Shen's letter. If he received this letter, he should have sent it to Jincheng immediately, and it was too late now.

   "What does the eldest brother mean?"

Pingnan Hou slowly closed his eyes and said, "Ye Ming has said it for this sake, I will look down on him if I don't see him again, you go and write to him and tell him that three days later, I will be there. Shiquan is waiting for him."

  When the two sides are at war, if the Lord is going to meet, there must be an unwritten rule, that is, if one of the parties proposes to meet, the other party is responsible for determining the time and place, and the number of people is usually 200 people each.

  The meeting was proposed by Ye Ming, so Li Shen should decide the time and place.

  Shiquan is a county seat. It is about a hundred miles outside of Hanzhong City. There is no garrison in the city, so it is suitable for two people to meet.

  Li Yan nodded and said, "I know, little brother, so I will go and give instructions."

Li Shen took a deep breath and said, "I can go when the time comes, but you don't want to go, he can go alone with Li Shen in Hanzhong, but he can't find out that you are also in Hanzhong, otherwise when Ye Ming hits Hanzhong, will be more cautious.”

  Li Yan nodded.

   "Little brother got it."

  …………

   For the situation in the southwest that is now deadlocked, three days passed by in the blink of an eye. Three days later, in the early morning of Shiquan County, Li Shen, dressed in simple blue clothes, sat quietly on his horse and waited.

In this case, both parties will definitely not enter the city. After all, no one will know whether the other party will arrange a knife and axe in the city, so the place to meet was finally arranged in Shiquan County. Below a gazebo nearby.

  The two men and horses set up a battle, and their respective martial law was imposed.

   Li Shen in Tsing Yi sat under the pavilion and waited for a while. There was a sound of hooves in the distance. An old general with gray hair and still wearing armor jumped off his horse and walked under the pavilion with a smile.

   Li Shen, who had been waiting for a while, got up quickly and cupped his hands: "Brother Li Shen, I have seen Brother Ye Shi."

Because the Li Ye family has made great achievements in battle, they actually don't have any deep friendship, and they don't dare to have a deep friendship. However, Ye Sheng and Li Zhijie were very familiar with each other before, and old man Ye has always regarded Li Zhijie alone in his eyes. Therefore, the children of the two of them naturally have to be brothers.

   Ye Ming saw that Li Shen was not wearing armor, so he immediately took off the armor and threw it to the follower, and then returned the salute.

   "It's rare that Jinchen is willing to come out to see me."

  Ye Ming walked into the pavilion while talking, with a smile on his face.

"I remember that a few months ago, Brother Yu was still serving as a general at Jimen Pass. After being recalled to the capital, he was shocked to hear that Jin Chen's house was running into water and could not come out. At that time, Brother Yu felt a pity in his heart, but he saw Jin Chen again. You are still standing here, and Brother Yu is relieved."

   Having said that, Ye Ming sighed with emotion.

   "Who would have thought that goodbye would be like this when we said goodbye in a hurry."

   Li Shen's face was calm.

   "It's the times that force people, not my brother's willingness to do it."

   The two of them were talking, and they both sat down under the pavilion. Ye Shaobao lowered his eyebrows and said, "There is still room."

   "Your troops in the southwest are strong and strong, and Your Majesty doesn't want to fight you to the end. As long as you are willing to bow your head and hand over the abolished prince, Brother Yu can guarantee that the imperial court's western expedition will be over, and you are still the great general of the imperial court."

   "The southwest is still your southwest."

   Pingnan Marquis glanced at Ye Ming with a smile.

"Brother Shi, you know better than anyone else that the court may be able to give up this time, but there will be another time soon. This time there is still a chance for the Pingnan Army to fight back. Hit Jincheng in one go."

   Having said this, Li Shen's expression became solemn.

"How the emperor Taikang came to the throne today, my brother should know better than me. He was originally just a concubine prince, the youngest among the four princes in the capital. If it wasn't for his conspiracy to mutiny, how could he sit in this position now? ?"

   "Thanks to the late emperor's attention, he was like his younger brother and brother. Now the late emperor died in an unclear manner, and the eldest son was living abroad. How could Jin Chen bear the heart and let His Royal Highness, the former crown prince, return to Beijing to die?"

   The Great General of the Zhuguo in blue clothes had a heavy expression on his face.

   "It's great to fight but your life is worth repaying the late emperor."

   At this time, the abolished prince is the most valuable trump card in Southwest's hands. Li Shen knows this better than anyone else. He can't give up the abolished prince at this moment.

   Give up is to drink poison to quench thirst.

   Ye Shaobao sat opposite Li Shen. He folded his hands in his sleeves and sighed helplessly.

   "When you say this, even Li Changan wants to laugh at you here, why bother to prevaricate Brother Yu?"

   Hearing Ye Ming talking about Li Changan, Li Shen looked left and right, but never saw Li Xin, he looked back at Ye Ming and frowned.

   "Why don't you see that Lord Jing'an?"
