Unparalleled Concubine

Even if Mu Ying himself had no objection, what would the Mu family behind him think?

As for Zhao Jia, it was even more obvious. This Southwest economic envoy, his lifelong dream was to manage the world, not just the southwest region.

If Li Xin suddenly lost his fighting spirit and wanted to establish a country in the southwest, it would take at most two or three years for Zhao Jia to put down his pick and go home to farm.

As for another force, Li Shuo...

Li Shuo is usually silent, but he also has his own thoughts. Southwest is self-reliant, and there will be conflicts between him and the Mu family. Moreover, Li Shuo, who has been settled for many years, has ambitions in his heart. Not necessarily younger than Zhao Jia.

Up and down in the southwest, five or six years of preparations have been made for going out of Shu.

At this time, there is no reason for Li Xin to say a word, and they will die down and go back to their respective homes obediently.

Princess Ninth's eyes were red, she wiped her tears with her sleeve, then took Li Xin's hand, and said nothing for a long time.

Li Xin patted her hand lightly, and said, "Madam, don't think so much, you take care of the children in Jincheng, and leave the rest to me."

Ninth Princess reached out to wipe away her tears again, her voice choked with sobs.

"If I had known today, I wouldn't have followed Seventh Brother to your house to eat lamb skewers that year."

Li Xin took her hand and smiled softly.

"If I had known back then, I wouldn't have sold charcoal at Deyi Building."

Chapter 1025

There are not so many people who know early in the world.

Give Li Xin another chance to start over, he will most likely step into the gate of Deyi Building, after all, the thin charcoal seller at that time only wanted to survive.

At this point, Li Xin himself has been angry for so many years, coupled with the coercion of the general situation, he has reached the point where he has no choice but to rebel.

The husband and wife talked for a long time in the room, but in the end the ninth princess still couldn't open her mouth to persuade Li Xin.

They have common children.

At this point, if Li Xin doesn't act anymore, their children will definitely end up miserable in the future. Li Xin, a person who is not very diligent, has come all the way to this day, nothing more than wanting to give his brothers, friends, and children a future. That's all.

No matter what the Ninth Princess is, she is still a woman. Although her surname is Ji, she must think about her children no matter what. Do not obey women's morals.

When she was young, although she was a bit spoiled and domineering, she gradually became gentle after she got married, especially after she had children, her mind was all on a few children. At this time, it was impossible to stop Li Xin from doing anything up.

In the end, Princess Nine took Li Xin's hand and sighed: "Chang'an... I know you are not a villain. If we win in the end, don't be desperate."

Li Xin narrowed his eyes, lightly patted Princess Jiu on the back, and said in relief: "Relax, things are not as bad as madam thinks."

After Li Xin comforted her a few words in the room, he got up and left. After hesitating for a while in the backyard, he finally walked towards the yard where Zhong Xiaoxiao was.

Zhao Fang has been missing for several months.

For several months, Li Xin has been deliberately avoiding this question, because he doesn't know how he should face his sister, but Zhong Xiaoxiao, as Zhao Fang's wife, should know about this life and death matter anyway.

He had just walked a few steps when he bumped into Zhong Xiaoxiao head-on.

Zhong Xiaoxiao has an introverted personality. She basically doesn't talk to anyone except the Li family. After seeing Li Xin, she took two steps forward and said softly, "I've seen my brother."

Li Xin stretched out his hand, patted her on the shoulder, and said, "I haven't seen you in a few months, but I still have the habit of living in Jincheng."

"It's the same wherever I live."

Zhong Xiaoxiao bowed his head in silence for a while, then asked: "Brother, Zhao Fang..."

This time, Li Xin did not deliberately avoid the question, he frowned slightly and said: "Missing."

"He went back to the Zhenbei army to defend the city, and was shot in the shoulder by the Xianbei on the city wall, and suffered serious injuries. Later, Jimen Pass was breached by the Xianbei, and the Zhenbei army was scattered, and Zhao Fang disappeared. gone."

"I specifically asked Wang Dun, the deputy general of the Zhenbei Army, and he didn't know where Zhao Fang went."

Ever since he was a child, Li Xin has never lied to Zhong Xiaoxiao, and this time too, he told Zhong Xiaoxiao everything he knew.

Zhong Xiaoxiao, who looked soft and weak, did not shed tears, and her eyes were not even red. She took a deep breath, bowed her head to Li Xin, and said, "Thank you brother for taking care of Zhao Fang."

Back when Zhao Fang and Zhong Xiaoxiao were just married, Li Xin meant to put him in the Southwest Army, which would be somewhat safer, but that bastard Zhao Fang ran to Jizhou without saying a word after he knew that Jimen Pass was being fought. Go, even Li Xin didn't stop him.

In desperation, Li Xin lent Zhao Fang all the sword and armor he had carried with him for many years, but the battlefield has no eyes, and now Zhao Fang is still missing, and his life and death are uncertain.

Li Xin also sighed softly: "Sister, I had someone search around Jizhou, but they didn't find Zhao Fang's body, not even my green pheasant. Since I didn't find it, then Zhao Fang is still alive." Maybe, I asked Shen Gang to keep some people there, and I am still looking for Zhao Fang, and as soon as there is news, I will send it to Jincheng."

"Do not think too much."

Zhong Xiaoxiao nodded lightly, and said, "Please trouble brother, brother, don't worry, I'm fine."

As she said that, she smiled at Li Xin, and said softly: "Brother just came back, there must be a lot of things to worry about, so I won't bother brother, I'll help my sister-in-law take care of Jing'er."

After finishing speaking, Zhong Xiaoxiao saluted Li Xin, then turned and left.

The moment he turned around, his face was already full of tears.

She is a very withdrawn person, and there are not many people who can be recognized by her in this life. They are Li Xin's family, Chen Shiliu and his wife, and Zhao Fang who grew up with her.

The latter became her husband-in-law.

Newly married and first married, her husband doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, how can she not feel sad?

Li Xin looked at the back of Zhong Xiaoxiao leaving, and shook his head helplessly.

"This child, life is hard..."

………………

On the third day after Li Xin returned to Jincheng, Mu Ying and Li Shuo rushed back to Jincheng from Hanzhong and Jiange one after another. Li Xin asked his family to set up a banquet for the "Three Giants of the Southwest" to eat at his home.

Among them, Mu Ying was the first to come. He is already in his thirties this year. Compared with before, he looks more burly. When he came to Li's house, he had a pot of wine in his hand. When he saw Li Xin, he immediately He said with a smile: "Master Hou, you can be regarded as coming back. You don't know that my son accidentally met the eldest daughter of Lord Hou's family a few months ago. Since then, he has not thought about eating and drinking, and has been clamoring for me to come. Grandfather's family proposes marriage."

He smiled and put down the Zhurong wine in his hand.

"Originally, I didn't bother to ask about the child's affairs, but the child was making a fuss to death. I just wanted to wait for Lord Hou to come back and come to Lord Hou to ask about it with the cheek."

The son of Mu Ying's family, who is now the king of Shu, Li Xiu, Li Xin's adopted son, is about the same age as Li Xin's eldest daughter, Li Shu, and is already eleven or twelve years old this year.

Li Xin was still smiling, but when he heard this sentence, his face darkened, and he was about to swear a few words, when Zhao Jia's cursing voice came from the side.

"Mu Heizi, your son has recognized Lord Hou as his adoptive father, and still wants incest? I took my son to Yongzhou last year to recognize Master Hou as his father-in-law. When the eldest daughter of Lord Hou's family grows up, My Zhao family immediately took her over!"

Mu Ying was furious, and stared at Zhao Jia.

"The adoptive father can no longer be a father-in-law? Do you know if you are close to each other?"
