Unparalleled Concubine

The boss of Her Highness the Princess was not happy, and snorted softly: "You didn't tell me something happened at home, and you didn't come to see me at the Princess Mansion when you returned to the capital. You really have no conscience at all!"

Because this matter has nothing to do with her, no one has informed her. Even the Seventh Prince was running around and forgot to inform His Royal Highness, so she did not know that Li Xin had returned until this time.

These few days, Li Xin's head was full of anger, and he didn't have the mind to go to Princess Qinghe's Mansion, so he really forgot about Her Highness the Princess.

Now that Zhong Xiaoxiao is safe, Li Xin's mood has improved a lot. He smiled at the princess and said, "I have something urgent to come back to the capital, and I have to go back to the north immediately after I finish my work. I'm also afraid that your highness will miss you, so there is no Inform Your Highness."

"Who will miss you!"

The ninth princess snorted angrily: "When something happens, I forget about this princess, you send someone to say hello to me, and the people from the Princess Mansion can help you find someone..."

Until now, she thought it was just Li Xin's sister who got lost.

Li Xin shook his head and didn't elaborate, just smiled lightly: "Your Highness, this matter is complicated, and I won't be able to explain it clearly for a while. I will explain it to Your Highness in detail when I come back from the north."

Ninth Princess opened her mouth, wanting to say something more...

Li Xin looked up at the sky, and said, "Your Highness, it's morning, the weather is cool, and you can still go on your way, but it will get hot after a while, but it will be difficult to go...

"

Although Ji Lingxiu was a bit savage, she was not unreasonable. Hearing this, she snorted softly, "I'll make you look good again when you come back!"

Li Xin smiled and greeted Mu Ying who was beside him.

"Brother Mu, let's go."

Mu Ying nodded, and the two left Datongfang together.

In order to catch up with the team, Li Xin spent money to buy a good horse for Mu Ying in Xishi Street. It was all maroon and looked very strong.

It's just that hundreds of coins were spent at once, which made Li Dawei feel a little distressed.

But thinking about Mu Ying having to be by his side for several years, he wouldn't be too disadvantaged, just consider it a car for him to facilitate his work.

When handing over the reins to Mu Ying, Colonel Li looked unkind: "Brother Mu, I lent you this. When you go back to southern Xinjiang, this horse must be returned to me."

The dark-faced Mu Ying gave Li Xin a helpless look: "Lieutenant Li, you've gotten to this point, why are you still so stingy?"

At this time, the two have gradually become familiar with each other, and they can already start joking with each other.

mean?

Li Xin turned on the dark cloud horse, and glared at Mu Ying: "Half a year ago, I couldn't even afford a hundred-cent cotton coat, and I was shivering in the cold winter, and now I'm paying you a few hundred dollars all of a sudden." Guan Qian, you still say I am stingy?"

This self-proclaimed name was learned by Li Xin from Mu Ying, but Mu Ying tried her best to restrain herself around Li Xin, and seldom said this title anymore.

"Besides, I'm still a seventh-rank official now. You go and find out. The seventh-rank officials in the capital only cost six stones a month, which is less than three guan. This horse will cost me ten years of salary. You can afford it!"

Mu Ying also got on the bay red horse skillfully, and smiled honestly: "Lieutenant Li, although I have never been to the capital, it's not that I don't have experience. In this world, there is no seventh-rank official who can invite the emperor out of the palace!"

What Mu Ying said is quite correct. In the entire capital, Li Xin is the only seventh-rank official who can invite the Emperor Chengde out of the palace. Take the example of begging to see the emperor at the gate of the palace yesterday. Can't see the emperor.

It's not that the Emperor Chengde is arrogant, but that there are too many officials in the capital, if everyone wants to see him, he will come out to meet him, then there is no need to deal with political affairs.

For an ordinary seventh-rank official, seeing the emperor is as difficult as reaching the sky, let alone invite the emperor out of the deep palace like Li Xin.

When Emperor Chengde left the palace yesterday, Li Xin deliberately didn't take Mu Ying with him in order to prevent Mu Ying from making trouble, lest he get mad and stab Emperor Chengde.

Li Xin is now a proficient rider. He pulled the rein and glanced back at Mu Ying: "You talk a lot, get on the horse and go on the road. You have already lost three days, and it will probably take you a whole day to catch up with the king." Master them."

Most of Wang Zhong and the others walked on foot, and brought a few carts with them. It would be great if they could walk thirty or forty miles a day. In three days, they could only walk about a hundred miles at most. Should be able to catch them.

Mu Ying patted the neck of the big bay red horse with satisfaction, got on the big horse, pulled the reins, laughed and said: "Li Xiaowei, this horse will be mine in the future, at worst, I will pay for it in the future. "

In this era, there is no difference between a person who owns a horse and a sports car in later generations. Although Mu Ying has her own horse in southern Xinjiang, it is not as valuable as this bay red horse. Therefore, after seeing this horse, Mu Ying, who has always been a little shy, Also laugh out loud.

Two big horses, one black and one red, started galloping on the official road north of the capital after leaving the capital.

However, this bay red horse was slower than the steed that the Ninth Princess came out from Wei Wangfu. Li Xin had to stop and wait for Muying for a while along the road before he could catch up.

Mu Ying looked at the dark cloud horse Li Xin was sitting on, her eyes were a little red.

This is every man's dream...

In the evening, the two of them still hadn't caught up with the big team. Li Xin glanced left and right, and said, "Go a little further, and you might be in the post in front."

The two of them walked another twenty miles, and finally handed over five carts from Habayashi Wei at the post station in front of them. The two of them breathed a sigh of relief and hurried over.

It was completely dark at this moment, and most of the people from Habayashi Guard went to rest in the post station. There were twenty or thirty people on duty next to the four carts. After hearing the movement, these people immediately became alert and looked around.

Li Xin's Wuyun horse arrived first and dismounted.

After these people saw the person coming, they immediately clasped their fists respectfully: "Captain Li!"

Li Xin nodded to these black-clothed and armored Habayashi guards, and asked, "Have nothing happened these days?"

Because Li Xin usually has no airs, the Habayashi man complained to Li Xin: "It's nothing, but Captain Wang makes us go on the road every day, urging us too hard, and it's very difficult in hot weather. The captain is back, but we have to persuade Captain Wang to succeed, several brothers have suffered from heat stroke these days."

Wearing a black armor on a hot day, it was indeed hard work. Li Xin felt at ease when he heard the words, he laughed and said: "Brothers have worked hard these few days, I will write it down for you later, and each of you will pay you the usual money, which will be regarded as compensation. Brothers!"

After Li Xin returns to the capital, he will be promoted to the captaincy of Yubayashi. At that time, these four hundred people will be Li Xin's direct descendants, and they will be recruited when it is time to win over. Moreover, Li Xin is indeed not short of money at the moment. It's only four hundred guan, not as expensive as a bay red horse.

A bay red horse can only win over one Muying, and for four hundred coins, it can win over four hundred Habayashirou, which is the most cost-effective deal.

Chapter 185

The news of Li Xin's return spread quickly, and the generals of the two battalions came out of the station to welcome Li Xin, the boss.

The old school lieutenant Wang Zhong also came out of the post station, looked Li Xin up and down, and was relieved when he saw that Li Xin was fine.

This old captain, after retiring from the battlefield, has been in the Habayashi Guard for 30 to [-] years. When he was young, some people fawned on him, but later he got older and was still a captain. Seeing that he has no future, everyone seldom pays attention to him.

In the past few years, only Li Xin, a young man, has been polite to him, always calling him master when he speaks.

The somewhat scruffy, gray-haired old captain shook his head, took Li Xin to a few stone benches in the yard of the post station and sat down, took out the wine bag from his waist and stuffed it in Li Xin's hand.

"Drink a few sips to suppress shock."

Li Xin looked at Wang Zhong in surprise: "How did Master Wang know that I was frightened in the capital?"

Wang Zhong glared at Li Xin: "When you said that when you left that day, I thought you were going to the capital to die. Although you are fine now, there have been many twists and turns in the past few days."

Li Xin happily took his wine bag, raised his head and took a sip.

In Wang Zhong's wine bag, there is bad wine, the taste is not very good, but it is quite spicy.

The old captain smiled, took back his wine bag, stuffed it back into his waist, and then reached out and patted Li Xin on the shoulder: "Okay, let's have a drink and find a room to rest. We will have another drink tomorrow morning." Hurry up."
