Unparalleled Concubine

"You are no longer a small person."

Li Shen took a deep breath, and said: "Now that things are up to now, no one in the world can say that you are a small person, but now you are strong on the outside, like a puffy fat man, all relying on others to support you behind you. As soon as the person holding you lets go, you fall."

Li Xin chuckled.

"How do you know he'll let go?"

Li Shen didn't answer his question, but asked quietly, "You're so sure, he won't let go?"

Li Xin narrowed his eyes and looked Li Shen up and down.

"People in the capital say that I can speak well. Now it seems that General Li is much more articulate than me."

"If this is sowing discord, General Li has already succeeded."

Li Shen raised his head slowly, looked Li Xin up and down seriously, and finally lowered his eyebrows.

"You gave me an idea, so I'll give you an idea too."

"All ears."

"I know you have resentment in your heart and you don't want to return to the Li family, so you set up your own family."

"I won't force you."

General Zhu Guo's face was calm, and he said lightly: "Our Pingnan Army has stood in the southwest for 30 years by relying on the remnants of the Southern Shu. You Jing'an Hou Mansion can do the same."

"Pingnan Army is your remnant of Nanshu."

Li Shen's words were like a thunderclap.

What he meant was to make Li Xin support himself and regard Pingnan Army as a remnant of Southern Shu, so that if Pingnan Army is still there, Li Xin's power in the court will not be reduced, and his status will be the same as Pingnan's. Like the Hou Mansion, it is as stable as Mount Tai.

Whether it is for Li Xin or Pingnan Army, this is a very good idea.

After all, as long as Li Xin nods, the Pingnan Army can continue to exist in the southwest just like the survivors of Southern Shu.

But unfortunately, Li Xin shook his head.

There was a trace of disdain on his face.

"In this world, the heroes are not only Ye Shi and Li Zhijie."

"I will go out the third way."

Chapter 513 Punishment

If it were half a year ago, Li Xin might not have the confidence to say this sentence.

But he has now.

This confidence did not come from the more than 4 forbidden troops in Fu County, but from the nearly [-] Nanshu troops brought by Mu Ying.

It has been half a year since Mu Ying was driven back by Li Xin, half a year, not to mention whether the 5 Southern Shu survivors can still fight, but the [-] Yulin orphans brought by Mu Ying have gradually become these The backbone of the [-] people, especially under the benefit of Li Xin, Mu Ying has basically become the actual speaker of the Mu family. Mu Qing, the head of the Mu family, has tacitly transferred most of the power of the Mu family to this eldest son.

Today, in the 5-strong army, the Mu family still accounts for a lot, but the collective will is gradually becoming Mu Ying's will.

And Mu Ying is the continuation of Li Xin's will.

No matter how mighty and majestic the imperial court's imperial army is, they are just passing by. In less than ten or twenty years, these people are not familiar with them.

Even if it was like the great general Pei Jin Pei Sanlang who led the Imperial Army for more than ten years, when Pei Jin was lifted out of the Imperial Army by Mingsheng and secretly surrendered, the people in the Imperial Army did not even dare to fart.

Therefore, although Li Xin still regards these forbidden soldiers as his brothers, and now he regards them seriously as his own, but he never regards them as his team members. He knows very well that Muying, Hanzhou City The group of people under his hand is the real good knife to point and hit.

The imperial army is also a knife, but it is not Li Xin's own knife. He was holding the knife for the person sitting on the dragon chair.

It was precisely because Li Xin held the [-] Southern Shu "rebels" in his hands that he had the confidence to say what he just said.

Ping Nanhou's description is quite correct. Li Xin is now like a puffy fat man. He looks huge, distinguished and rich, but all this is because he is supported by Emperor Taikang. One day Emperor Taikang is not willing to When supporting Li Xin, or even stabbing Li Xin in the back, this puffy fat man would instantly disappear into nothing like a leaking balloon.

Li Xin is also very aware of this situation. He understands that his foundation is too shallow and he is "puffy", but he doesn't dare to make changes, or even "exercise", because Li Xin is very clear. No matter which member of the Ji family sits in this position, no second Pingnanhou mansion, or the second Chen Guogong mansion will be allowed to appear.

Li Xin can only continue to be "puffy" and be supported by Emperor Taikang forever, so that Emperor Taikang will feel at ease.

Therefore, in order to get rid of this situation, Li Xin chose to build another piece of root in the southwest. Now this piece of root has begun to take root and sprout. A "unsteady fat man".

It was also because of this root that Li Xin categorically rejected Li Shen's suggestion.

He didn't need to make the Jing'an Hou Mansion into the second Pingnan Hou Mansion. Facts have also proved that the model of Pingnan Hou Mansion is not very long-lasting.

Moreover, due to personal emotional factors, Li Xin is not very willing to play interdependence with Pingnanhoufu.

After hearing Li Xin's answer, General Zhu Guo was not surprised.

"You don't need to rush to answer me about this, you should think about it yourself."

Li Shen reined in the reins with his hands, and said slowly: "Calculating the time, I will lead troops to attack Fu County in about seven or eight days. At that time, it will not be too late for the Marquis of Jing'an to give me an answer. If the Marquis of Jing’an refuses to agree, our Pingnan Army will attack the city with all our strength, and if the Marquis of Jing’an agrees, I can hand over not only Fucheng, but also Mianzhu to you as a garrison.”

With that said, Li Shen turned the horse's head and took a deep breath.

"You haven't seen my father, but you should be familiar with Ye Guogong. There are not many people I admire in my life. Ye Guogong is one of them. He is trapped in the capital and can't move. For 30 years, he can only drink and grow flowers at home. You Where are those who are smarter than Ye Guogong going?"

"If you want to grow grass and flowers in your concubine's mansion for the rest of your life, then you can pretend that I haven't said these words."

After saying the last two sentences, Li Shen walked away.

Behind him, nearly a thousand riders followed closely behind, raising a cloud of smoke and dust.

Li Xin squinted his eyes and looked at Li Shenyuan's direction, and said with a sneer, "I'm probably dying of panic in my heart, and I have to pretend to see through everything. Are you tired?"

Li Shen, who has gone away, has no way to answer his question.

Jing'an Hou Mansion also turned its horse's head around, and said with a smile to the guards behind him: "Brothers, the general has sent someone to collect wine and meat from the city, and everyone has been attacking the city hard these days, how about we have a tooth-beating festival tonight? "

The crowd immediately cheered and surrounded Li Xin into the county seat of Fu County.

"General Li is wise!"

……

Fu County is not very big, and the entire city is about 6 to [-] people. The influx of Li Xin's forbidden army almost increased the number of people in the city by half. It wasn't enough for these imperial guards to open their stomachs to eat. In the end, Master Li spent money to let his subordinates go to a nearby village to collect a lot of pigs, so that everyone in the imperial guard had a bite of meat.

As the "boss", Li Xin naturally had a good time with the people. After drinking with his subordinates all night, Li Xin picked up two hooves and brought half a jug of wine to the room where they were staying. In a private house.

The Marquis of Jing'an was always holding his hoof and the wine in his other hand. He really had no time to spare, so he kicked open the door with his foot.

On the hospital bed in the room lay a muscular young man with a pale complexion.
