Unparalleled Concubine

The Mu family is the backbone of Southern Xinjiang, and they agreed back, and Li Xing actually had no room to refuse.

Mu Ying said unhurriedly: "Master Hou said, at most two days, after two days you must get a reply from His Royal Highness, otherwise it will be equivalent to a refusal."

"I will live in Hanzhou City for two days."

After he finished speaking, he turned and left.

"Two days later, there is no news from His Majesty, so I will go back and inform Lord Hou."

Chapter 486 Retribution is coming

In fact, there are not many options for Li Xing to choose. Both he and Li Shen understand that the adherents of the Southern Shu and the Peaceful Southern Army are bound together, and it is unlikely that they will be the opponents of the Jin court in terms of hard power. Therefore, from the beginning, Li Xing Xing didn't think about choosing, he just wanted to procrastinate until the situation in the Southwest was relatively clear before making a bet.

But it's a pity that the [-] households of Southern Shu adherents are still too conspicuous. Whether it is Li Shen or the Jin court, they all fancy him and force him to stand in line.

From the perspective of family and country feelings, it is impossible for these Southern Shu survivors to cooperate with the Jin court anyway. After all, everyone has the hatred of subjugation, but from the perspective of practical interests, Li Xing has no way to bite the bullet and stand with the Pingnan Army .

It is for this reason that Li Shen has a pleading attitude towards the adherents of Southern Shu, while Li Xin is extremely tough towards Li Xing.

The great majesty of Nanshu was silent for a while, and finally looked up at Mu Ying, and said slowly: "Brother Mu, you are also from Nanshu. When Jincheng was broken, many people in the Mu family also died. Now you Why are you being so aggressive when helping the Jin court?"

Mu Ying, who had a dark complexion, glanced at Li Shen who was sitting firmly on the side, and finally sneered: "Your Highness, you can make yourself forget that story, but the Mu family has not forgotten, it was the one who broke Jincheng back then. In the Pingnanhou Mansion, at that time my grandfather was desperately protecting Jincheng from which His Royal Highness King Min escaped, and now the Pingnanhou of the Pingnanhou Mansion is sitting in front of us, is it possible that His Highness is going to blame the deer for the horse?"

"Yes, my Mu family is working for the imperial court now, but everyone is just trying to survive. If His Highness can take us, the survivors of Southern Shu, to restore the country, Mu Ying will immediately resign from the position of Habayashi Guard to help His Highness Fuguo, does His Highness dare to say this sentence?"

Li Xing was silent.

With his current ability, it is impossible to maintain the status quo, let alone help Nanshu restore the country.

Mu Ying continued: "In the current situation, if His Highness cannot return to the country, the future of our [-] Shu people is uncertain. Since His Highness can't lead us to find a way out, he can't take us to the Mu family. die, right?"

Li Xing's face was ugly, because what Mu Ying said was the truth that could no longer be true.

No matter how he argues, he cannot deny that it was Li Zhijie's Pingnan Army who broke Jincheng, and now he really has no way to find a way out for these [-] families of Southern Shu survivors. Every word Muying said made him dumb Mouth speechless.

This is true.

After a long time, he said in a shy voice: "Brother Mu, Li Xing has always remembered the kindness of the Mu family to his father back then. You go home first, and I will give Brother Mu an answer tomorrow."

Mu Ying nodded, cupped her hands to Li Xing and said, "Your Highness, Mu Ying has always been from Shu, so I have offended you a lot today."

Having said that, Mu Ying glanced at Li Shen, and then a sneer appeared on her face.

"General Zhu Guo, my Lord Hou has a good temper, but Mu Ying has a bad temper. The evil things you did back then will be punished in southern Xinjiang one by one in the future."

"Just wait quietly."

Li Shen sat on the chair, motionless.

"Little brother, you are too young."

"What happened in the past, what is right and what is wrong, I am too lazy to share with you what you want to do in southern Xinjiang, just come here, I am waiting for you."

Mu Ying sneered again and again.

"General, I hope that in the future, you will still have the wisdom beads you have today."

After finishing speaking, Mu Ying turned around with her hands behind her back, leaving Li Shen and Li Xing still sitting in this room.

After Mu Ying walked away, Ping Nanhou quietly took a sip of the hot tea in his hand, and looked at Li Xing with a smile.

"Your Highness, as you can see, Li Xin is a small-minded man, and he doesn't care about the means. This can be seen from Mu Ying. If His Highness works with Li Xin, it is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger."

Li Xing shook his head and smiled wryly.

"The general doesn't understand my current difficulties."

"Now the entire Mu family has completely turned to the Jin court, and the Mu family is not much weaker than Li Xing among the [-] Shu people. They have already stood in line. Even if I have a heart for the general, there is nothing I can do. "

Li Shen chuckled, stood up from his chair, and cupped his hands at Li Xing.

"Your Highness, Southern Shu and the Jin court are life and death enemies. This has never changed in the past 30 years. Even if you are willing to surrender to the Jin court and endure the hatred of the past, the Jin court may not tolerate you. Crossing the river and tearing down the bridge, I am afraid that only you, Your Highness, can survive."

"It's right and wrong, His Highness decides for himself."

Having said that, Li Shen also walked away with his hands behind his back.

Outside the courtyard, a pure black carriage had been waiting outside for a long time, and a young man in green clothes had been waiting near the carriage for a long time.

After seeing Li Shen approaching, the young man bowed his head respectfully: "Father."

This young man was Li Shuo, Li Shen's foster son under Li Yan's name. During this period of time, Li Shen often took him by his side and wanted to train him to be the future successor of the Pingnan Army.

But some time ago, Li Shen severely punished him because of his private meeting with Li Xin.

At this time, Li Shuo had resumed calling Li Shen's father.

Li Shen stepped onto the carriage with a blank expression, and Li Shuo followed behind him.

"Father, how is it going?"

"very bad."

Li Shen told the truth, and said calmly: "These survivors of the old Southern Shu were placed in advance by Li Xin. Now it is difficult to talk to them anymore, and we can basically give up."

What Li Shen said about the placement of people refers to those people from the Mu family. These people were started by Li Xin two years ago, and now they have finally played a key role in influencing the situation in southern Xinjiang.

Thinking of this, Li Shen took a deep breath, looked back at Li Xing's mansion silently, and muttered to himself.

"I hope you can help no one, so I can save a lot of effort."

It is useless to win over Li Xing now, because these Shu people are basically unlikely to help the Pingnan Army, so Li Shen can only hope that Li Xing will not help each other, so that the Pingnan Army can feel more comfortable.

After saying this, Li Shen looked back at his youngest son who was only 16 years old.

"You went to see Li Xin."

Li Shuo gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, the Marquis of Jing'an is actually in Yongzhou, and his son once visited him."

Li Shen glanced at Li Shuo and continued to ask.

"What do you think of him?"

Li Shuo closed his eyes and recalled the scene when he met Li Xin, and finally he opened his eyes slowly.

"Smart, wise and confident."

Having said that, Li Shuo paused, and then continued.
