Unparalleled Concubine

"Chang'an, if we get through this pass, our position will be considered secure."

This sentence means to tell Li Xin that Li Xin and his interests are one.

Li Xin took a deep breath and said.

"Fate is Your Majesty."

The emperor shook his head slowly.

"What is destiny?"

Li Xin said in a deep voice: "Equally matched, the one with the bigger fist is the destiny."

"No matter how Li Shen struggles, His Majesty's fist is bigger than him after all."

…………

After coming out of the palace, it was already afternoon, Li Xin sat in his carriage, opened the curtain and looked around.

Tomorrow is the anniversary of the death of the emperor of Chengde. At this time, there are still many people in the city who hang up white flags in their homes in memory of the deceased emperor.

Objectively speaking, the Emperor Chengde who slept in the emperor's mausoleum was indeed an impeccable good emperor. The life of the Jin Dynasty has become better and better in the past ten years, and most of it is because of him.

Even the Marquis of Pingnan, which is self-respecting, had no intention of rebelling against the imperial court and the Emperor Chengde. Li Shen originally just wanted to maintain the status quo. in push.

A good emperor is naturally missed by some people. Nowadays, many people in the capital still burn incense to the late emperor at home.

Around the time, Li Xin returned to Jing'an Hou Mansion.

A maid ran over, bowed her head to Li Xin and said something, Li Xin nodded and said, "Let him wait in my study."

"Yes."

The maid stepped back.

Li Xin washed up, took off his court clothes, changed into ordinary clothes, and walked into the study in the backyard.

In the study, Mu Ying, who was wearing a heavy cotton coat, had been waiting for Li Xin for a long time.

He was sent out of the capital by Li Xin more than a month ago, and the time was actually a little earlier than when Li Shen returned to southern Xinjiang. However, this season, riding on the road was very hard. The wind and frost blew a few cracks, and the lips were cracked, and the whole person looked several years old.

"Master Hou."

He stood up, bowing his head respectfully.

Li Xin patted him on the shoulder and said slowly, "Thank you, Brother Mu."

"Your Excellency is polite."

Mu Ying sat down and said with a smile: "The humble job is to go home to visit relatives, what's the hard work."

Li Xin poured him a cup of tea with his own hands, then moved a stool and sat opposite him, and asked, "Shu County...what's the situation now?"

"Before the humble post rushed back, Jincheng had just published a call to action against... His Majesty."

Originally, Mu Ying called the emperor of Jin Dynasty "Ji Family Emperor", but after several years of being an official in the capital, he gradually began to call him His Majesty.

Li Xin frowned slightly.

"The imperial court has not yet issued an edict to crusade against southern Xinjiang, but the southern border has started first. Is Li Shen really sure that he can deal with the imperial court's hundreds of thousands of troops?"

Mu Ying shook her head.

"There is a lot of momentum in Jincheng, but I didn't see a Pingnan army leaving the city. I stayed at Mu's house for a few days, and I heard that Li Shen once sent someone to find His Highness, and asked His Highness to borrow someone give him."

The His Highness he was talking about was Li Xing, the High Highness of the Remnants of Southern Shu.

Li Xin poured himself a cup of tea, thoughtful.

Chapter 455

For the next whole afternoon, Mu Ying did not come out of Li Xin's study. Li Xin asked Mu Ying about the situation in southern Xinjiang in detail, and then closed his eyes and thought about the situation in southern Xinjiang. Sort it out.

He opened his eyes and looked at Mu Ying,

"What does Uncle Mu mean?"

Mu Ying lowered her eyebrows and said: "Many young people from the Mu family have entered the capital now, and they have made a living in the capital. My father's meaning is very simple. As long as Master Hou says a word, the Mu family in southern Xinjiang is willing to serve you. Grandpa do anything."

He bowed his head deeply to Li Xin.

"My father said that he wants the Mu family in the capital to have a way out."

"Uncle Mu is afraid that I will tear down the bridge if I cross the river?"

Li Xin couldn't help laughing, then became serious, and said in a deep voice: "With the Jing'an Hou Mansion here, it is impossible for the Mu family to have trouble."

Mu Ying sighed: "My father and Lord Hou have only met twice, and entrusted the life and death of the Mu family to Lord Hou. Naturally, he can trust Lord Hou, but his old man is afraid that Lord Hou will not be able to protect himself."

As she spoke, Mu Ying carefully glanced at Li Xin and lowered her voice.

"He's afraid...Master Hou, you will be crossed and the bridge will be demolished."

Li Xin was silent.

After a while, he whispered to Mu Ying: "Brother Mu, don't worry, Li Xin is not a straightforward person, he will not only seek things, but also his own life. "

Mu Ying smiled and said, "You can rest assured of the humble job."

"Relying on the big tree of Master Hou, the Mu family will be able to spread its branches and leaves in the capital."

Li Xin pulled his sleeve and said with a smile: "Brother Mu has worked hard all the way, let's go, let's have a drink together, and we will treat you as brothers."

Mu Ying is also a person who likes to drink, he himself will have a good time if he has something to do, and he smiled and said: "Master Hou invites you, how dare you refuse to obey?"

The two of them left the study room one after the other, set up a small table in the side hall, and set up a small stove beside it. A pot of wine was warmed on the stove, and it was gurgling and steaming.

It is already deep winter, and there is nothing more comfortable than drinking hot wine.

The two of them were talking and drinking, and it didn't take long before their faces became hot.

Li Xin poured Mu Ying a cup, and let out a breath of white air.

"Brother Mu came back by coincidence. In about ten days, I will get married. I was worried that you wouldn't be able to come back, Brother Mu."

Mu Ying picked up the wine glass, raised her head and drank it down.

He stretched out three fingers and said with a big tongue: "I... killed three horses on the road."
