Time is always extra stingy for busy people, leaving the capital when the spring is infinitely good, but when you come back, the first snowflakes of this winter have floated, most of the time, as if in the blink of an eye.

Ye Xun was still on his way back to Beijing, and the letter of appointment appointing Qin Bangping as the commander of the Ganxi and Shaanxi capitals had also been written by the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War and sent to Qin Bangping.

Ye Xun's order to Yuan Yingtai was that the procedures should be simple, but the treatment should be the same.

This appointment of Qin Bangping is equivalent to handing over the Northwest Army to him, in addition to Qin Bangping, Ye Xun also left one hundred and fifty guards, and these guards will be used as grassroots officers to enrich the Northwest Army.

Batch after batch, from south to north, from east to west, in the Ming army, you can find the figure of an officer served by Ye Xun's guard.

Qin Bangping is Qin Liangyu's younger brother, born in a general, with outstanding ability, loyal to Ye Xun, Ye Xun's assignment will never deviate at all, and it can be said that he is the best candidate for the commander of the Northwest Army.

With him, all the arrangements made before Ye Xun can be guaranteed to go smoothly.

And Man Gui's task is even more important, Ye Xun handed over Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, two newborn calves, to him, and later Dolgon will also rush over, Man Gui will take these three people and five thousand iron horsemen, cross Yili Bari, and respond to Bashik's actions from the side.

It is not difficult to see from the combination of these people that Ye Xun has no good intentions towards the Mughal at all, saying that it sounds like a fist, but in fact he is bleeding the Mughal country.

As for Bashik, a cheap old man, it depends on his future performance, and it's a big deal to take him to Daming to support his retirement.

The most excited person in the group is Arjuna, everything in Daming is so new to her, and the prosperity and wealth of Daming are not comparable to Ah San's kind of country at all.

Especially when you enter the capital, the neat streets, the shops, the weaving crowds, the pavilions looming behind the high walls in the distance...

I only saw Arjuna like a dream, as if she was in another world, she never dreamed that Daming would be so prosperous.

Aruna didn't even know that if it weren't for Ye Xun's birth, the capital of Daming at this time would have been a decadent scene with the end approaching.

With strong force, prosperous economy, and peaceful living for the people, the Ming Dynasty has entered the ranks of world-class powers at this time.

It's just that in Ye Xun's heart, the capital is the same as before, although the weather is a little cold, it is no different from previous years.

Ye Xun asked Xiao Xiao to take Arjuna to the palace first, and he himself went straight to the British mansion.

When he was on the road, Ye Xun received news from the West Factory one after another, Zhang Weixian had been in a coma several times, although he was rescued, no one dared to say whether he would be in a coma next time or not.

So Ye Xun was very anxious, hoping to take one last look at the old man.

According to the intelligence, Zhang Weixian's three sons have been behaving normally recently, and they have not seen any dealings with other important officials of the imperial court.

Ye Xun is good at conspiracy, he knows that the more he looks at normal things, the more abnormal what is hidden behind it, then it depends on whose fox tail is exposed first in the end.

Ye Xun came back in a hurry this time, so many people didn't know about it, so when the guards asked the porter of the British Mansion to report inside, the porter was stunned for a moment, and then quickly turned around to report it.

It is not difficult to see from the reaction of this porter that Ye Xun's whereabouts have always attracted great attention, and this is still the case for a porter, let alone other people with intentions.

There was not much time, and I saw Zhang Weixian's eldest son Zhang Xulian walking out quickly, and before he got down the steps, he arched his hand and said: "I don't know if my father-in-law is coming, please forgive me."

Ye Xun nodded and said, "I heard that the old man is seriously ill, I don't know how it is now, can it be convenient to visit?" ”

Zhang Xulian's face showed a trace of embarrassment, and said, "Father-in-law, let's go in with me and have a look, my father has just taken medicine and is now asleep."

The old man just took the medicine and fell asleep, and when his son could say that, he immediately woke up? It's just that the person who came here has more weight than the emperor Lao Tzu, Zhang Xulian didn't dare to say yes, and he didn't dare to say no, so he could only let Ye Xun go in and see it himself.

Ye Xun was quite considerate of him, and under the guidance of Zhang Xulian, he walked inside, and asked casually, "What about your other brothers?" ”

"The second brother is on duty in the palace, and the third brother..."

When talking about the third Zhang Xuyang, Zhang Xulian shook his head with a wry smile, but he didn't say any more, as if there was something unspeakable.

Lao Tzu is sick, but his most beloved son is not by his side, who doesn't get angry when he hears this kind of thing?

Unconsciously, Ye Xun's face also sank.

The British Mansion is very large, Ye Xun came more than once, and under the guidance of Zhang Xulian, he walked through several courtyards before coming to Zhang Weixian's place to recuperate.

In the warm pavilion of the room, in addition to Zhang Weixian's children, there were also waiting subordinates, as well as a few people who looked like Langzhong, and when they saw Zhang Xulian, everyone bowed down one after another.

Zhang Weixian has not designated an heir until now, so if nothing else, Zhang Xulian, the eldest son, must inherit the British dukedom, how can the subordinates who are accustomed to seeing the wind and the rudder not have this kind of eyes.

Ye Xun looked around and said in a deep voice: "Have you reported the old man's illness to the Queen Mother?" ”

"After the report, the Queen Mother also sent the imperial doctor, but the imperial doctor also said that my father ran out of oil and dried up, and he was boiling that little effort, which could not be cured by medicinal stones."

Ye Xun nodded, and said in his heart That's right, Baozhu knows the relationship between the British Duke and herself, and the old man is sick, she won't ignore it.

Zhang Xulian personally gently pushed open the door and looked inside, before nodding and motioning for Ye Xun to follow in.

There are also people waiting in the room, the air is filled with a strong smell of medicine, and a middle-aged beautiful woman sits next to the couch with tears in her eyes, but she is Zhang Weixian's favorite lady in the sixth room.

The three brothers of the Zhang family are all older than the sixth lady, but the sixth lady also has a son, so although Zhang Weixian dotes on this sixth lady, the three brothers do not like her very much.

It is conceivable that once Zhang Weixian returns to the West, the fate of the sixth lady can also be imagined.

Ye Xun knew the sixth lady, and had a good impression of her, she was knowledgeable and reasonable, and she was never pampered or arrogant.

Ye Xun clasped his fists and bowed to the sixth lady slightly, and then raised his eyes to look at the couch.

In my memory, I haven't seen the former burly and mighty British duke, but he has been tormented by illness and is skinny, if his chest is still slightly undulating, it is easy for people to think of him as a dead man.

Although Ye Xun never felt that he was an emotional person, it can be seen that the old man who cared for him in the past has become like this, and he still has a sour feeling in his heart.

I don't know if it's telepathy, or as Ye Xun thought, the old man is waiting for him.

When Ye Xun leaned in to watch, the old man suddenly miraculously opened his eyes...
