Unparalleled Concubine

"At this time, even if they are indeed useful to me, I shouldn't be the one to go to them, but they should beg me to save their lives."

As he spoke, Li Xin curled his lips in disdain.

"Besides, I have to rush to get married, so I don't have time to talk to them."

Chapter 459 Invitation

Seeing that the day of Marquis Hou's marriage is getting closer and closer, the Jing'an Hou's mansion is already covered with red.

Compared to the busy people in the house, Li Xin seemed much more relaxed. He didn't have to go to work in the imperial army, nor did he have to go to court. Play chess with Old Man Ye.

Because it was not very authentic to dig out the old man Ye alone, so when Li Xin played chess with the old man, he deliberately lost to him. The old man was so happy that he almost didn't hold Li Xin's hand. Walk.

It was the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, and there were still two days before Li Xin got married.

Early in the morning, Li Xin had a meal with Zhong Xiaoxiao, and then went out in plain clothes. Chen Shiliu hesitated for a moment, put down his work, and followed Li Xin out.

The wound on his arm has almost healed now, but he still can't do much work with only one arm left, so it's better to run and drive a car behind Li Xin.

It's winter now, and people rarely go out on horseback. Most of them ride in a carriage or a sedan chair. Li Xin is no exception. He packed a few cotton-padded clothes in the carriage, and then drove south of the city with Chen Shiliu go.

At around Si time, Li Xin's carriage stopped at the gate of the Habayashi Guard camp. Li Xin jumped out of the carriage first, looked up at the gate of the camp, and felt a little sad.

Today's Habayashi Wei has an embarrassing position.

On the one hand, many of the Habayashi guards who followed His Royal Highness King Wei into the palace back then were promoted to other yamen and became officials, and even formed the so-called "Habayashi guard line" in the court. The officials who were born took good care of Habayashi Wei, so they lived a pretty good life.

But it was precisely because of breaking into the palace gate that Habayashi Wei was somewhat feared by the emperor. Nowadays, Habayashi Wei basically no longer takes turns in the palace, and has almost become an idle yamen.

Li Xin took two sets of cotton clothes from the carriage and a jug of wine in his hand, and walked into the Habayashi Guard camp.

At this time, most of the gatekeepers at the gate of Habayashi Guard were recruits, few of them recognized Li Xin, but because Li Xin was accompanied by his personal guards, they didn't dare to stop them, so they could only rush to report. Not long after, Mu Ying, who was dressed in armor, came up to meet her.

He bowed deeply.

"Why is Lord Hou here?"

After he came back from Southern Xinjiang, he returned to Habayashi Guard to reinstate his post. After all, the official position of Dajin is very important to the Mu family.

Li Xin helped him up with a smile, and patted his shoulder.

"Why are you becoming more and more polite?"

Mu Ying stood up straight with a smile, lowered her eyebrows and said, "Didn't Lord Hou teach low-level jobs, and when you are an official in the capital, do you have to follow the rules?"

"That's with outsiders, we are our own people."

Li Xin hugged his padded clothes and wine, and asked with a smile, "Is Master Wang here?"

"Yes, why not?"

Mu Ying said helplessly: "The old man's temper has become more and more bad-tempered recently. A few days ago, the humble job went to drink with him, and he kicked him out."

Li Xin shook his head, and walked to the East Court of Habayashi Guard.

Although it wasn't snowing now, the snow that fell a few days ago hadn't melted, and the weather was still very cold. Li Xin, carrying two jugs of spirits, walked to the door of old man Wang's classroom, and knocked on the door lightly.

Wang Zhong, with a blank face, slowly opened the door, and then he looked Li Xin up and down, his eyes moved.

"How did you come?"

"Come and invite Master Wang to drink."

Li Xin lifted the two jugs of wine in his hand and put them aside, then put two sets of thick robes on the table, and said with a smile: "It's getting cold, come and give Master Wang two thick clothes."

Old man Wang had no children and no daughters all his life, and he had no apprentices. Li Xin was his only apprentice.

Of course, this old man has been in Habayashi Guard for 30 years, and he has brought many people under his command. Some people come to see him during the holidays, but he is a bit lonely in normal times.

Wang Zhong sat down silently, and glanced at Li Xin.

"I heard that you have been very busy recently, why are you free to come and see me?"

"I'm not here to see you."

Li Xin took out a red invitation card from his sleeve and slapped it on the table.

"Your apprentice is getting married."

Jing'anhou smiled: "I will do business the day after tomorrow. You are an elder. It is not appropriate to ask someone to inform you, so I ran over and told you."

Wang Zhong glanced at the invitation card on the table, and finally said silently: "You are well-developed now, the old man is an old man, so it was not suitable for you in the past, right?"

From his point of view, the people Li Xin associates with are rich and powerful people, and it's really not suitable for him, a scruffy veteran, to go.

Li Xin glanced at the old man, and scolded with a smile: "I'll let you know if it's suitable or not, whether you want to go or not."

With that said, Li Xin was about to go out.

When he reached the door of the classroom, he glanced back at the old man.

"Master Ye will also go at that time, if you don't go, you will be dragged down."

With that said, Master Li walked out of the classroom with his hands behind his back.

At the door of the classroom, Mu Ying was waiting for Li Xin. After seeing Li Xin coming out, he looked Li Xin up and down, and said with a smile, "What did old man Wang say?"

"He will go."

Li Xin put his hands in his sleeves and asked softly, "Where is that young man I brought to the Imperial Army last time?"

Mu Ying was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses, and quickly lowered her head and said: "In a captain's camp in Youying, according to Lord Hou's intention, he is still an ordinary Habayashiro."

The young man Li Xin mentioned was the young Lin Hu he brought back from his hometown. This Lin Hu was the only friend of the original "Li Xin". After he was brought to the capital, Li Xin arranged him In the Forbidden Army, he started as an ordinary Habayashiro.

Calculating the time, it should be July at that time, and now it is the twelfth lunar month, which means that he has been in Habayashi Guard for half a year.

Mu Ying lowered her head and said, "The humble official brought him to see Lord Hou?"

"no need."

Li Xin turned around, took the other two sets of thick clothes from Chen Shiliu, and held them in his hands.

"Brother Mu please lead the way, I'll go see him."

Not long after, Li Xin appeared in the barracks in the West Court.

Lin Hu, whose face was frozen and flushed, stood in front of Li Xin somewhat helplessly.
