Unparalleled Concubine

Chapter 488 Be Candid

After the three of them carefully discussed some details, Li Xin invited Mu Qing to a meal in Jingzhou City. After drinking for three rounds, the head of the Mu family offered a toast to Li Xin.

Li Xin and Mu Ying were friends of the same generation, so Mu Qing was his elder. The Jing'an Houfu understood the rules very well, so he immediately stood up and returned a cup to Mu Qing.

"What's the matter with Uncle Mu, just say so, don't be so polite."

Mu Qing put down the wine glass with a smile, and said slowly: "Master Hou, logically speaking, this rebel army should be led by Lord Hou himself, and our Mu family should not interfere, but since Lord Hou thinks highly of it, the Mu family will be cheeky." Take it for Lord Hou first, but the Mu family should also show some sincerity."

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, then smiled and said: "Muying has a sister, and Lord Hou should have seen her too. Although she is not beautiful, she is also pretty. Why don't Lord Hou just let her go?" Take it into the room, so that the Mu family and Lord Hou will be closer."

This old man, why hasn't he forgotten this...

Lord Jing'an smiled wryly, and said, "Uncle Mu, I am married to the eldest princess of Dajin, not someone else, and I just got married. If I accept another one at this time, it will be unreasonable anyway."

"This old man knows."

Mu Qing said with a smile: "In the past few years, Lord Hou has mostly stayed in the southwest, and there is no caring person around him to take care of him, and let that girl stay with Lord Hou. I don't worry about whether she has a status or not." For a while."

In order to tie Li Xin to death, the Mu family got closer to Li Xin, and it was already a bit "unscrupulous". Mu Qing's words meant that during the time Li Xin was in the southwest, there was no woman around him, and he wanted his daughter to marry him. Follow Li Xin to serve him.

Marquis Jingan shook his head.

"The Mu family is also a big family in the southwest. Li Xin can't do such a thing no matter what. Uncle Mu, let's put this matter on hold for now and bring it up later when I have a chance."

With that said, Li Xin looked at Mu Ying who was on the side, and took a deep breath.

"Uncle Mu, Brother Mu and I are in a life-and-death relationship. This friendship is much more important than in-laws. No matter what, Li Xin will not harm the Mu family."

After hearing Li Xin's words, Mu Qing fell silent.

He lowered his head and took a sip of his wine, and finally said silently: "Master Hou, this old man knows your character, and would never do anything like demolish bridges, but in the eyes of the Jin court, we are always rebels. If the imperial court wants to attack us instead, Lord Hou may not be willing to protect us."

The head of the Mu family sighed: "At that time, among the Mu family, I am afraid that only Mu Ying will survive. The old man has no other ideas, but just wants the little daughter in the family to have a way out. Now, she can have a way out by following Master Hou."

Mu Qing's worries are not unreasonable. Throughout the ages, as long as they are in the Vanity Fair, few people are really keeping their promises. A force similar to "Zhaoan" like the Mu family will indeed It is difficult to survive in the Great Jin Dynasty Hall.

Because those people will crowd them out.

Whether it's civil officials like Zhang Qu or the generals in the capital, they are all the people of the Jin Dynasty with good roots, and they will inevitably discriminate against these "rebels".

In the entire Mu family, there is only Mu Ying, who made meritorious service with Emperor Taikang's "Gong Bian", and may be able to make a living in the Jin court in peace and stability. It is difficult for the other Mu family to have any Good end.

Li Xin shook his head slightly.

"Uncle Mu can trust me?"

Mu Qing smiled: "Of course you can trust this. If you can't trust Lord Hou, how can the whole Mu family follow you?"

Hou Jing'an looked serious.

"Since Uncle Mu can trust Li Xin, Li Xin is here to give the Mu family a guarantee."

"Li Xin dare not promise how the Jin court will treat the Mu family in the future, but I dare say that from now on, my Jing'an Hou Mansion will share weal and woe with the Mu family. Where the Mu family lives, the Jing'an Hou Mansion must bear the brunt of it!"

While talking, Li Xin poured a glass of wine for both father and son.

"Li Xin has a letter in his name, and he has never broken his promise in his life. If he doesn't say anything else today, if his Mu family encounters a catastrophe, the Marquis of Jing'an's mansion will be destroyed first!"

Before Mu Qing could speak, Mu Ying on the side smiled and said: "Father, don't worry, Chang'an is the one who values ​​friendship the most. The brothers who used to work together in Yulinwei all miss Chang'an's kindness, so far every year and festival In Changan, he even sent people to send things to the homes of the thirty or so brothers who have disappeared."

"Besides, the Mu family has already reached this point, so it doesn't make any sense for my father to talk about it."

Mu Qing shook her head slightly.

He lowered his head and took a sip of his wine, then looked up at Li Xin.

"Master Hou values ​​love and righteousness, and this old man believes it, but does the current emperor of the Jin Dynasty also value love and righteousness like Master Hou?"

"In the future, if the emperor of the Ji family wants to kill us, the Marquis will be powerless. Even if the Marquis of Jing'an is willing to die with us, it will only kill a few more people, which will not help."

His eyes were deep, and he looked at Li Xin closely.

Li Xin also lowered his head and took a sip of his wine, thinking of the "His Royal Highness King Wei" who was far away in the capital.

His Royal Highness King Wei was a timid prince who was ambitious but not cruel enough. At that time, Li Xin could basically figure out his character, but after His Highness King Wei became Emperor Taikang, Li Xin Xin became more and more unclear about what he would do in the future.

That is to say, Li Xin himself was not sure whether the Emperor Taikang would play that trick.

After all, the emperors of all dynasties were able to share adversity, but too few were able to share wealth.

It's not that these emperors are reluctant to be rich, but because as long as they sit in that position, they will inevitably become suspicious, worried that someone will covet his position.

In this world, all those who might threaten his status, or have the ability to threaten his status, have become sins.

Marquis Jing'an and Mu Qing touched a glass of wine, then drank it down with their heads raised.

"Say a few heartfelt words to Uncle Mu."

Li Xin put down his glass and laughed at himself.

"After the current emperor Taikang came to the throne, he publicly said more than once that I was the number one hero of the new dynasty. Because of this, I tried to sleep well."

"How did Emperor Taikang ascend to the throne? Uncle Mu has also heard from Brother Mu."

Today's emperor has seized the throne through a palace change!

Regardless of whether there was an imperial edict from the first emperor, it was already a fact that the Son of Heaven was wrong. Because of this, it was possible for Li Shen and his like to make such a big splash in the southwest by using the name of abolishing the crown prince.

Li Xin took a deep breath and said quietly.

"It's a big blemish."

"Whether it's me or the people who worked together at the beginning, it's inevitable that I feel anxious, and I'm not alone now."

"I'm not a saint, so I'll make plans for myself."

Lord Jing'an silently poured himself a glass of wine, and then filled it for Mu Qing.

"This rebel army, the court only knows that it will help the court, but they don't know that I can control it."

"Therefore, this rebel army formed by the remnants of Southern Shu is the trump card of the Jing'an Hou Mansion and the Mu family in the court in the future, and it is also the reliance for us to survive in peace and stability."

Li Xinxin drank it all in one gulp.

"Uncle Mu, you should be able to understand the key point."

A smile appeared on Mu Qing's face, and he also picked up the wine glass.
