Unparalleled Concubine

"This trip to the south can be said to be a near-death. Thanks to Li Xiaowei's vigilance, he was able to save the day. When we return to the capital, I will definitely treat Li Xiaowei to a good meal!"

At this time, he was finally out of danger, and he no longer called himself a lower official, but called himself brother.

Xue Da Yushi was in a good mood and winked at Li Xin.

"Brother will treat you to Deyilou at that time, treat Brother Li to a good meal!"

Chapter 129

On the way back, Xue Zichuan couldn't stand the bumps, so he hired a carriage by himself. Li Xin didn't sit with the dying man, but rode on the dark cloud horse given to him by Princess Nine, dazed in a daze.

Li Xin originally estimated that this trip to southern Xinjiang would take at least three months or even half a year, but to his surprise, including the time spent traveling back and forth, it did not exceed two months.

But in these two months, Li Xin has gained a lot of things, including the understanding of southern Xinjiang, and the secret line of being able to contact Li Xing, a survivor of Southern Shu, but these are not the most important. The most important thing is that he started Really understand what the upper class figures of this era look like.

In the past, Li Xin was more or less pretentious and felt that he was smarter than anyone else, but after this incident, he found that he was not the smartest person. Li Shen, the general, looks a few steps ahead of him.

This is not surprising.

In fact, in many situations in history, smart people confronted smart people. In this case, conspiracies and tricks are actually not very useful, because the other party can usually see these small tricks. At this level, the really useful ones It's a conspiracy, it's the general trend.

It is the kind of deadly method that is so simple that you can see it at a glance, but there is no way to deal with it.

Conspiracy and conspiracy are the difference between art and Tao.

Although the original Li Xin had been in the workplace for many years, he was limited by his vision and insight, and he always stayed at the technical level. After this trip to southern Xinjiang, Li Xin seemed to have seen another level of threshold.

It's a wonderful feeling.

Nanjiang, Jingcheng, Pingnanhou's Mansion, Wei Wang's Mansion, etc., the context of many characters gradually became clear in Li Xin's mind, and he began to try to look back a few steps as Li Shen said.

On the way back to the capital, Li Xin often sat on the big black horse in a daze, no one knew what he was thinking.

As the days passed, the group of people got closer and closer to the capital. One afternoon in mid-May, a group of seven people finally arrived at the south gate of the capital.

No one came to greet them at the south gate.

In a place like the capital city, if you hit the seventh-rank officials like Li Xin and Xue Zichuan on the street, you can hit at least three or four, and the other few may be the officials of the sixth department.

These small shrimps may have some power locally, but they are too inconspicuous in the capital.

Take Li Xin as an example, probably only the seventh prince in the capital would remember to greet him, but the identity of the seventh prince is a bit sensitive, so it is unlikely that he would come to the south gate to welcome him, a seventh-rank captain, in an open and honest manner.

At the gate of the South City Gate, Wang Mo and others dismounted from their horses one after another, bent over and clasped their fists at Li Xin: "Lieutenant Li, when the capital is here, our brother's responsibilities will be exhausted. Say goodbye to Li Xiaowei here, and return to the inner guard to hand over the errands." went."

Li Xin got off his horse quickly, and returned the salute to the emperor's servants from the guard battalion.

"Thank you for your protection along the way. We are both imperial guards. After a few days, there will be nothing else to do. Let me find a place and invite you brothers to drink."

Apart from other things, Li Xin also gained a lot from the trip to Nanjiang, that is, he got to know these inner guards. They have been going through life and death in a serious way along the way, and Li Xin is quite fond of these inner guards. You're welcome, until now they have treated Li Xin as their own brother.

After returning to the capital, the dark clouds that had been weighing on everyone's hearts dissipated quite a bit, and the unsmiling Wang Mo chuckled: "Lieutenant Li's words really discouraged me, I should have waited to protect Li Xiaowei along the way. , it turned out that after this journey, it became Lieutenant Li to protect us."

Li Xin also chuckled: "It's not protection, it's just helping each other."

Wang Mo bowed his head and said: "In that case, I will bid farewell first. When I am free, I will definitely get together with Lieutenant Li."

Li Xin took a step forward, patted the big man on the shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Brother Wang, please remember what I said, and don't take the initiative to say what you shouldn't say, it will be harmful and useless."

Wang Mo trusted Li Xin very much now, and said silently after hearing the words: "Brother Li, don't worry, as long as your Majesty doesn't ask, I won't speak up."

Li Xin nodded, and said in a deep voice: "I will enter the palace to submit the documents for the military supervision tomorrow. After I face the saint tomorrow, there should be no danger."

Wang Mo cupped his fists again: "Thank you, Brother Li."

After all, the big man took the inner guards with the largest number of guards, got on his horse again, and walked towards the imperial city of the capital.

They are different from Li Xin. Li Xin was ordered by the court to return to southern Xinjiang, but Wang Mo and others directly obeyed the emperor of Chengde, so as soon as they returned to Beijing, they had to rush back. The palace is restored.

After sending Wang Mo away, Li Xin turned his head to look at the carriage not far away, and wanted to say something to that Xue Yushi, but finally shook his head and did not speak.

Now, this Xue Yushi is full of spirits, thinking that he is a brave and unyielding hero who goes deep into the enemy's camp, and plans to overthrow Li Shen, the minister of disaster and power, with a memorandum tomorrow, so that he will become famous all over the world, become a famous minister of Chengde Dynasty, and then be promoted get rich.

At this time, if Li Xin went up to persuade him to say good things about Li Shen, he would probably be sprayed with blood, and then he would call Li Xin a coward and a gangster!

Maybe he will write Li Xin's despicable deeds into his own book in private, so that Li Xin will be infamous for thousands of years.

Medicine never kills disease.

This kind of person, damn it, Li Xin can't save him.

Thinking of this, Li Xin cupped his hands towards the carriage, and said calmly: "Xue Yushi, we've arrived in the capital, and it's time for us to part. Take care Xue Yushi, and see you later."

The curtain of the carriage was pulled back by Xue Zichuan. The thin scholar glanced at Li Xin with a smile, stretched out his hand to stroke his beard, and smiled complacently: "Where Li Xiaowei lives and what yamen does he work in? Let's talk about it now." Listen to Brother Wei, and if Brother Wei is lucky enough to be promoted later, he can take care of Brother Li."

The two of them have been together for two or three months, and Xue Zichuan still doesn't know where Li Xin works. The reason why he asked Li Xin now is simply to pretend to be aggressive.

Li Xin shook his head: "No need, I'm a military officer and has nothing to do with Xue Yushi. See you later."

After all, Li Xin stopped talking to the censor, but rode his big black horse and walked slowly in the direction of Datongfang.

In the capital city, horses are not allowed to gallop on the streets, and horses are not allowed to ride in the workshops. This is the rule of the Great Jin Dynasty.

But some yamen don't like to pay attention to this rule.

When the sun was about to set, Li Xin, who was sitting on the big black horse, came to Datongfang. After entering the gate, Li Xin got off his horse, took the big black horse in his hand, and walked towards his yard.

After approaching his yard, Li Xin found a purple sedan chair parked at the gate of the yard.

A tall young man came out of the sedan chair, dressed in green robes, and smiled at Li Xin.

"Brother Xin, is my dark cloud horse comfortable to ride?"

Chapter 130

Even though Li Xin hasn't been back for more than two months, this very large courtyard is still clean. It seems that Cui Jiuniang sent someone to clean it.

Or Zhong Xiaoxiao often comes back to clean.

In the study in the courtyard, the Seventh Prince and Li Xin sat across the table.

Because of the reason he just came back, there is no hot water at home, so naturally he can't serve tea. Li Xin lowered his head slightly and said apologetically, "There is no tea at home, so I have neglected Your Highness."

His Royal Highness King Wei laughed, then looked Li Xin up and down, and said softly: "Brother Xin went to southern Xinjiang, and he seems to have matured a lot."

"Escaping from the dead naturally gained some experience,"

This trip to southern Xinjiang caused a huge change in Li Xin's mentality. His mental outlook was so different from before that the Seventh Prince could tell the difference at a glance.
