Unparalleled Concubine

Standing on the city wall, Li Xin frowned slightly.

This Li Shuo was his "cheap younger brother". Although he didn't want to admit it, in terms of blood relationship, Li Shuo was indeed his half-brother.

This cheap brother, in the first year of Taikang, that is, about a year and a half ago, when Li Xin was repairing his mother's grave in Yongzhou, he went to Qiyang to meet Li Xin once. At that time, the conversation between the two was not Very happy, Li Shen didn't give this cheap brother a good look.

After a lapse of nearly two years, this "cheap brother" came to him again.

This is a hassle.

Li Shuo is a serious Southwesterner, born in the Southwest, grew up in the Southwest, and grew up in the Pingnan Army. If the emperor found out that he met Li Shuo, it would be difficult for him to explain.

Li Xinxin hesitated a little, whether to see him or not.

But after hesitating for a while, Lord Jing'an walked down the tower with his hands behind his back, and got on the mount he had found in Mianzhu City.

A moment later, Li Xin got off his horse at the door of his residence. He looked down at the ordinary cloth robe he was wearing, and walked in with a blank expression.

The personal guard who came to inform Li Xin earlier greeted him immediately, bowed his head and said, "Master Hou, he is waiting in the side hall. The humble official picked him up in a carriage, and no one saw him along the way."

Li Xin patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "You have a heart."

"What a humble job should do."

Li Xin nodded and walked into the side hall.

In the side hall, a young man also wearing coarse cotton clothes sat on a chair in a regular manner and waited. Seeing Li Xin walking in, the young man stood up immediately, bowed his head to Li Xin and said, "Brother .”

"No need for that title."

Lord Jing'an was expressionless.

"Did you come by yourself, or did Li Shen ask you to come?"

Li Shuo, who was much taller than two years ago, but more slender, bowed deeply to Li Xin with a sincere tone.

"Brother, the little brother came by himself."

"Little brother has a few words that I want to say to my brother."

Chapter 546 Keep Your Life

Lord Jing'an took a faint look at this young man who was three to four points like him and slightly taller than him. He didn't speak, but put his hands into his sleeves and sat down slowly on the seat.

He closed his eyes and spoke calmly.

"It seems that your attitude is not bad, I will give you time to burn a stick of incense, and leave here immediately after speaking."

Having said that, he opened his eyes and glanced at Li Shuo with a blank expression.

"Otherwise, Li Shen will really be the last one."

According to the southwest information that Li Xin had obtained over the years, the young Li Shuo in front of him should be the last son of Li Shen.

That is to say, if Li Shuo died, Li Zhijie's branch from the Li family in Zhao County would be regarded as extinct.

As for Li Xin's Jing'an Hou's Mansion, it has nothing to do with the Pingnan Hou's mansion from a legal point of view.

As for this blood relationship, it will be submerged in the long river of time in a few decades, and no one will mention it again.

Li Shuo took a deep breath and bowed deeply to Li Xin.

"Brother..."

Li Xin's expression was indifferent, and he interrupted Li Shuo's speech.

"If you call me that again, you can go out now."

Li Shuo's face turned pale, and then he changed his words: "Master Hou..."

"Two years ago, my younger brother went to Mianzhu to visit Master Hou, and wanted to talk with him in detail all night, but at that time, Master Hou had a deep prejudice in his heart, and he still had a deep prejudice against the Pingnan Hou Mansion, so we just chatted briefly. Just leave in a hurry.”

Speaking of this, Li Shuo smiled wryly and said, "I'm not going to hide it from Lord Hou, because I went to Yongzhou to meet Lord Hou privately. After my younger brother returned to the southwest, he was fined fifty lashes, and he had to lie on the bed for several months before he could get off the ground."

Lord Jing'an stood up slowly from the chair, lowered his eyebrows and said, "Is it finished?"

Li Shuo turned pale, shook his head and said, "Little brother still has something to say."

"Now Lord Hou has won a complete victory in the southwest. My father was unable to move in Jiange, and my elder father was in a dilemma in Jincheng. Lord Hou turned the Southwest upside down with his own power."

(Dafu should mean "grandfather" in the Ming Dynasty, but because Li Shuo's adoptive father is Li Yan, and his biological father is Li Shen, so it is called so here, please understand...)

Li Xin glanced at Li Shuo, and said lightly, "And then?"

Li Shuo took a deep breath, his voice trembling.

"Brother, it's almost ready..."

Li Shuo is two years younger than Li Xin, and with his current appearance, he bowed deeply to Li Xin with a sincere tone: "Brother, at this point, the bones of the elder brother in the capital are already cold, and Dafu's wife is in Pingnan. In the general's mansion, there are always crazy people, there are hundreds of thousands of people in the Pingnan Army, and tens of thousands of them have died, and the rest of them, everyone bears the infamy of rebels!"

"The Pingnan Hou Mansion, which has been run by my grandfather and my eldest father for more than 30 years, is now in pieces, leaving only a framework."

When Li Shuo said this, he knelt down in front of Li Xin and kowtowed deeply.

He was shaking all over.

"Brother, when things have come to this, how much resentment you have in your heart, should you vent it?"

Li Xin was not moved, but just glanced at Li Shuo who was kneeling on the ground.

"You are not me, how do you know how much resentment I have in my heart?"

"You should have heard about my mother many times. She has been kind to me for 15 years. I just grew up, and she let go. When she died, her whole body weighed less than sixty catties. Heavy."

Lord Jing'an was expressionless.

"Tell me, how much resentment should I have in my heart?"

Li Shuo wept and said, "Brother, the Marquis of Pingnan's residence has already been destroyed with human lives."

"What does that have to do with me?"

Li Xin grabbed Li Shuo by the front, lifted him up, and said coldly, "You think that idiot Li Chun was killed by me, don't you?"

"Let me tell you, I really want to kill him, but unfortunately, he didn't die by my hands."

"The Southwest has developed to the present situation, do you still naively think that I am the only one who is promoting this matter?"

"Three years ago, I was a commoner in the capital who was about to freeze to death. How capable am I that I pushed Pingnanhou's mansion into this desperate situation in just three years?"
