Unparalleled Concubine

To be honest, Li Xin didn't take Li Shuo's proposal very seriously.

Because the success rate is too low.

Not to mention Li Shuo's way of getting that dead fat prince out of Jincheng, even if he got that waste prince out of Jincheng, Li Shen might not necessarily surrender.

The most likely thing that happened was that Li Shuo was found by Li Shen on the way to send the deposed prince out of the city, and then the second-five boy was killed, and the deposed prince returned to Li Shen's grasp.

Li Shuo himself was aware of this possibility, so he told Li Xin before leaving that he might die.

He also asked Li Xin to help save his mother's life.

This is an extremely naive statement.

In fact, Li Xin wanted to stop him just now, and told him that if he died, that person named Xie Zhenniang would definitely be imprisoned because of him, and then the mother and son died together in Jincheng.

But in the end, Lord Jing'an still didn't make up his mind to smash the last bit of kindness of this innocent young man.

Thinking of this, Li Xin slowly closed his eyes and let out a slight breath.

That's all, let you toss.

Regardless, I'm already invincible.

Thinking of this, his mood improved a lot, he turned and left the side hall, and went to drink tea in his study.

In fact, Lord Jing'an still somewhat underestimated that innocent young man.

Before Li Shuo came to Mianzhu, he had had several exchanges with the abolished prince, and it was because the abolished prince wanted to leave Jincheng that Li Shuo had this idea.

Moreover, he is the only son of Li Yan on the surface, and the only son of Li Shen behind the scenes. He grew up in Jincheng, so it's not that he has no power at all. Influence.

He had the certainty of bringing the deposed prince out, so he dared to come to Mianzhu alone to discuss this matter with Li Xin.

……

After entering the study, Li Xin just wanted to go back to his place and flip through the paperwork. He glanced at a young man in white who had been waiting in the study for a while. Lord Jing'an immediately smiled and said to the young man: "Zhao Xianzun is not in the county office to deal with affairs, why did he come to Benhou's study?"

This young man in white was none other than Zhao Jia, who was forcibly appointed by Li Xin as the county magistrate of Mianzhu. He, Zhao Jia, didn't even have a proper official uniform. For nearly a month, he wore his own clothes in the county office Because he likes to wear white clothes, he is called the county magistrate in white clothes by Mianzhu people.

Zhao Jia glanced at Li Xin with some resentment, stood up and cupped his hands towards Li Xin, and said with a wry smile: "Master Hou, the matter of the Mianzhu County Yamen is handled by the subordinates as soon as they are accepted, but the affairs in the army are also taken over. Is it too much to send it to the county government office and hand it over to the subordinates?"

Li Xin smiled and said, "Those who can do more work."

He patted the county magistrate in white on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Brother You'an has done a good job in this position, and with this resume, I will report it to you when we return to Beijing. Talk about a magistrate starting."

Zhao Jia rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "With my current status, if I go back to the capital, I can only be a staff member in Jing'an Hou Mansion in a proper manner. , the people in the court haven’t eaten me alive yet.”

Zhao Jia's current status is embarrassing, and it is indeed not suitable for him to be an official because he belongs to Li Xin.

Li Xin and a general, if the general's subordinates go out to be civil servants, they will be squeezed out by all the civil servants, and once the Southwest incident is over, Li Xin's contribution will be unimaginable. Civil servants, even the Son of Heaven will also set out to suppress Li Xin's influence.

So Zhao Jia could see very clearly that he could only work as an aide in Jing'an Marquis Mansion for the time being, and it was unlikely that he would be an official in the imperial court.

Li Xin smiled, but did not speak.

Zhao Jia glanced at Li Xin, and asked in a low voice, "Master Hou, that young man who said he was your younger brother has left?"

"gone."

Li Xin lowered his eyebrows and said, "He's not my younger brother, he's Li Shen's son."

Zhao Jia said in astonishment: "Then Hou Ye should arrest him and let the Pingnan Army use his weapon."

Li Xin gave Zhao Jia a white look.

"A person like Li Shen, for the sake of Ping Nanjun, won't even bat an eyelid if one or two sons are killed. If you want him to be a mouse, a Li Shuo is still far behind."

Zhao Jia glanced around and lowered his voice.

"Master Hou, what did that young man ask you for?"

Li Xin sat on his main seat, poured himself a cup of tea, and then showed a playful arc on his face.

"He said that he wanted Jincheng Xiancheng to surrender."

Zhao Jia snorted, and said, "If you don't want to say it, then why do you lie to me?"

"believe it or not."

Lord Jing'an smiled and said, "What did you come to me for? It can't be because of that silly boy, right?"

Zhao Jia just slapped his thigh and shouted: "I almost forgot, there is a letter from Uncle Ye, because a certain general is unwilling to deal with military affairs, so he sent it to me first..."

"I saw that the matter was urgent, so I immediately sent it to Lord Hou."

Li Xin stretched out his hand lazily.

"Take a look."

Then Zhao Jia took out the military report from his sleeve and handed it to Li Xin.

Before Li Xin opened it, he said, "Uncle Ye means that he will formally attack Jiange on the tenth day of next month, and we need to support it from the rear."

"Senior Brother Ye is a little too impatient."

While Zhao Jia was speaking, Li Xin had already opened the letter and looked it over carefully. The whole text was filled with some conventional words, but the last sentence at the end was quite thought-provoking.

"Brother Wen has thaumaturgy in breaking Mianzhu, and the gate of the Jiange Pavilion is strong. If you can break through the city gate first, and then cut off the reinforcements, you will be able to win in one battle."

Seeing this, Li Xin raised his head and took a deep look at Zhao Jia.

"How did Senior Brother Ye know?"

Zhao Jia imitated Li Xin's usual manner and shrugged his shoulders, and said helplessly, "Young Lord and Captain He are both in the army, if they write letters home to Uncle Ye, we don't care."

Lord Jing'an frowned, and then he said, "Reply and tell Senior Brother Ye that they want to build a sword pavilion, we can help as much as possible, but Mianzhu broke the city gate with the help of an expert, and now the expert has disappeared, and his whereabouts are vague .”

"We're also powerless."

Zhao Jia nodded, ready to go down and write back to Ye Ming.

As soon as he took a few steps, he was called by Li Xin.

"By the way, tell Senior Brother Ye that if possible, let him attack Jiange slowly."

Zhao Jia nodded and said: "The letter can be written like this, but there must be a reason."

Marquis Jing'an was silent for a while, then spoke slowly.
