Unparalleled Concubine

"Master Hou, I would like to offer you a toast."

Chapter 489 I Can't Trust the Mu Family

To be honest, Li Xin himself was not very willing to turn against the emperor. Firstly, there was indeed some affection, and Li Xin was willing to live in peace, and secondly, because it was too tiring to fight against the emperor.

Just like the Pingnanhou Mansion, after more than 30 years of hard work, it can only be a hard struggle.

But being unwilling to fight against the emperor does not mean waiting to die. This is like a weapon of mass destruction in later generations. You can use it, but you can't.

After the three of them drank, Mu Qing rushed back directly. After all, even with the background of the Mu family, it will take time to completely accept these 5 people.

As for Mu Ying, she stayed temporarily because Li Xin had other things to tell him.

After Mu Qing left, Li Xin dragged Mu Ying to the backyard.

At this time, the Marquis of Jing'an was blushing because he drank a lot of wine, but his eyes were sober. He pulled Mu Ying to sit down in the pavilion in the yard, and then lowered his eyebrows and said, "Brother Mu, I I asked you to bring a member of the Captain's Battalion from Habayashi Wei, do you remember?"

There are [-] people in a captain's battalion, and the [-] people brought by Mu Ying are all Li Xin's direct descendants in the Habayashi Guard, and they can be regarded as Li Xin's own team.

The so-called own team means that Li Xin told them that there will be another palace change, and they will follow Li Xin to attack Miyagi without hesitation.

Mu Ying nodded and said: "Remember, these are people from our Habayashi Guard Right Camp back then. Lord Hou also specially ordered me to choose some unmarried people to bring over, saying that the battlefield is dangerous, and there is no burden without family members." .”

"So among the four hundred people, about two hundred people have no family at all."

The predecessor of Habayashi Wei was "Habayashi Orphans". These people may have been orphans of soldiers whose parents died. Although up to now, Habayashi Wei is not all rent orphans, but it is not difficult to find some without family members. .

Speaking of this, Mu Ying scratched her head, and said with a smile: "I didn't understand it at the time. According to the logic, if the battlefield is dangerous, you should bring some people who are married and have children here, so as not to cut off the incense at home, but Lord Hou just happened to Let's bring these fur kids out..."

In the middle of Mu Ying's speech, she suddenly stopped.

He stared blankly at Li Xin.

Li Xin said indifferently: "That's right, I want these people to join that rebel army, and you, Brother Mu, will lead them."

"They don't have family members, so they can take care of things with confidence. In the future, these people will become your team in this rebel army, Brother Mu. If you use them well, you can fully control this rebel army."

"When I return to Beijing, I will report to the imperial court that all these people died in battle."

Mu Ying was stunned for a moment, then pointed at herself with a wry smile.

"Master Hou, I managed to get acquainted in the capital with great difficulty, and became General Habayashi Guards. You won't let me "die in battle" too?"

Li Xin glanced at Mu Ying, and then said in a low voice: "Brother Mu has an official position. It is a pity to die in battle. I will report to the court and say that you are seriously injured and are recuperating in your hometown in Bashu. When will the situation in the southwest Once you are stable, you can recover even if you want to return to Beijing to be an official."

Mu Ying glanced at Li Xin carefully, and then whispered: "Master Hou, I can understand that you sent the Habayashi Guards into the rebel army. After all, this thing is very important, but I don't have to go there. There are still hundreds of people in the main line of our Mu family. , Counting the branches, there are thousands of them, and with my old father around, they will be able to lead this rebel army no matter what."

"But they are not you, Muying."

Hou Jing'an's tone was slightly cold.

"I can trust you, and I can trust Uncle Mu, but I can't trust you, the thousands of Mu family members."

"Everyone has selfishness. With tens of thousands of troops in front of us, anyone will be jealous and want to take it for themselves. If you and I are in the capital in the future, and these tens of thousands of people are out of control, then it will be a huge disaster." trouble."

Li Xin glanced at Mu Ying indifferently.

"As far as I know, Uncle Mu is not just your son, Brother Mu."

In this era, as long as there are conditions, there must be as many children as possible. Take Mu Qing as an example. The head of the Mu family is quite restrained, but he also has five sons and four daughters, and Mu Qing is the eldest son.

That Miss Mu Xin from the Mu family is the youngest daughter.

In addition to these two, the Mu family has four sons, the youngest of whom is only 12 years old this year.

Li Xin knew about these things in advance. He could trust Mu Ying, but he could not trust these Mu family members whom he had never met. come to trouble.

This is a double-edged sword. If you want not to get hurt, you must hold the hilt firmly.

Mu Ying was thoughtful.

Li Xin continued: "I can allow the Mu family to completely decide for Uncle Mu, but after Uncle Mu, it must be you, Mu Ying, and I don't recognize other Mu family members."

"The Mu family takes over this rebel army, and the Mu family will inevitably enter the middle and high levels of this rebel army. I don't want to pay attention to these people, but the backbone of the Mu family must be determined."

"I didn't say these words directly in front of Uncle Mu, but Brother Mu, you must understand that you brought these two hundred people into this rebel army to lay the foundation for the future."

Li Xin said word by word.

"This is the lifeblood of you and me, as well as the Jing'an Hou Mansion and the Mu family. There must be no loss at all. I believe in Brother Mu, and I hope Brother Mu can also believe in me."

Mu Ying immediately became serious.

He bowed deeply to Li Xin.

"Don't worry, Lord Hou, Mu Ying has made a note."

"In the past few days, I will take the two hundred forest guards back to Hanzhou Mansion."

Li Xin took a deep breath and patted Mu Ying's shoulder.

"Brother Mu, don't think I'm supercilious, and don't think I'm troublesome. This kind of matter involves too much. I have to be cautious. If the time is right, you can tell Uncle Mu directly. He can understand. , and won't be angry,"

Mu Ying nodded and said, "I understand."

At this time, Muying's drunkenness has completely disappeared.

He slowly exited Li Xin's yard.

After Mu Ying left, Li Xin sat under the pavilion alone, lost in thought.

The current situation in the Southwest is not clear, he doesn't know how Ye Ming and Li Shen will fight, but no matter how the two fight and how they fight, he still has to do what he should do.

His current behavior is actually a bit similar to that of Li Zhijie back then, but Li Xin does not want to be the next Li Zhijie or the next Li Shen.

What he is doing now is to buy an insurance for himself, or for the Jing'an Hou Mansion and related forces, which means that when there is really no other way in the future, he has the opportunity to choose to become Li Zhijie.

After all, this is not the history he is familiar with, and Li Xin can only take one step at a time.

It was night at this time. After Muying left, the moon had slowly climbed up. Li Xin sat in his yard watching the moon, and when he was about to go back to sleep, a guard in black suddenly ran all the way. , ran into his yard.

The man bowed and clasped his fists in front of Li Xin.

"Master Hou, the General sent someone over, saying that there is something urgent, please come over."

Brother Ye...what are you looking for me at this time?

Li Xin looked up at the sky, feeling a little strange.
