Unparalleled Concubine

Li Shuo wiped his tears with his sleeve and slowly got up.

"Son...retire."

After Li Shuo closed the door, Li Shen, who was half lying on the bed, slowly sat up. He stared out the window quietly, wondering what he was thinking.

....................................

General Zhu Guo on this side was in a complicated mood, while Lord Jing'an on the other side was smiling happily.

Because the little father-in-law Ye Mao brought back a big fat man for him.

At most, Li Shuo could only send Ji Ku out of the city. How to bring Ji Ku back was a matter for Li Xin. He sent his young father-in-law Ye Mao to lead dozens of cavalry to meet him in person, and approached him in the middle of the night. When he was a child, he finally took the deposed prince out of Jincheng.

Lord Jing'an greeted him personally at the gate of Mianzhu City with a smile on his face.

"His Royal Highness, long time no see."

Ji Ku was granted the title of King of Qin back then, but after he was crowned Prince, no one called him King of Qin anymore.

Li Xin's title means that he does not recognize his former crown prince.

Speaking of which, Li Xin had seen the first eldest prince many times when he seized the throne in the capital, but at that time, His Highness the crown prince's eyes were higher than the top, and he never paid attention to the young man next to the old seven That's it.

The fat prince jumped out of the carriage with a complicated expression.

"This is... Li Xin, Marquis of Jing'an?"

Li Xin smiled and said, "It's Li Xin."

"His Royal Highness Qin Wang has been captured by traitors for the past two years. He must have suffered countless hardships. He was finally rescued this time. It's really an eye-opener."

The chubby Crown Prince sighed slowly in his heart.

He has dozens of women in Jincheng, who gave birth to seven or eight children for him in two years, which is indeed countless suffering.

Fortunately, he didn't have much affection for those women, so he didn't feel too uncomfortable when he abandoned them now.

After all, righteousness is in his heart.

"Gu left the city voluntarily."

The fat prince cupped his hands at Li Xin, and said in a deep voice, "Jing'an Houye, please tell the old... His Majesty, you will admit defeat."

"Gu knew that it was difficult for him to survive, and he didn't expect that he could survive. The reason why he came out of Jincheng was because, as a child of the Ji family, he couldn't ruin the foundation of his ancestors."

"I don't want anything else, I just want to go back to Beijing and see the old family history..."

Lord Jing'an smiled and nodded.

"Good talk, good talk."

"It's getting late now, His Highness King Qin will go down to rest for a day or two, and after a few days, I will arrange for His Highness to return to Beijing."

Ji Ku gave Li Xin a complicated look.

Then sighed.

"Please trouble the Marquis of Jing'an."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was once invincible, now looks polite and polite under the eaves.

It shows that this is a fat man who is very knowledgeable about current affairs.

After Li Xin asked someone to take him down to rest, he reached out and patted Ye Mao on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "This is another great contribution to you. When I return to the capital, Master Ye and Senior Brother Ye will treat me to a meal." .”

Ye Mao bent over, clasped his fists, and said with a smile: "My nephew can also treat my uncle to a meal."

"Naturally you want to invite."

Lord Jing'an said as it should: "Otherwise, I will file a complaint with Master Ye when I return to the capital."

Ye Mao shrank his head and hurried down to sleep.

After Ye Mao left, Zhao Jia, who had been standing behind Li Xin, clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, great things will come to an end."

Li Xin smiled and did not speak.

Zhao Jia went on to say: "This former His Royal Highness is very self-aware, knowing that he will not live for too long."

"He still overestimated himself."

The smile on Li Xin's face faded and became expressionless.

"It is impossible for him to return to the capital alive."

Chapter 558 Li Xin's Conditions

Although Li Shuo sent the deposed prince to Mianzhu, Li Xin didn't think that Li Shen would surrender like that. With the personality of the great general of the Zhu Kingdom, it was too difficult for him to bow his head and surrender.

This is an era of extremely closed news.

Even if the deposed prince was taken back to the capital, even if there was no such banner in Jincheng, Li Shen could still declare that the deposed prince was in Jincheng, and he could even let a fat man pretend to be Ji Ku.

In this era, there is no instant messaging, no information explosion like that of later generations, and not many people know what the deposed prince really looked like.

Bringing Ji Ku back is only the first step.

Li Xin can't guarantee what Jincheng will do next.

But he is not in a hurry. For him, he just needs to stay in Mianzhu. If Jincheng surrenders, he will go to receive the credit. If Jincheng does not surrender, he will stay in Mianzhu honestly. Wait, wait until Ye Ming comes over to join forces, and honestly check in to claim the credit.

After the deposed prince entered Mianzhu, Li Xin arranged him into a mansion in Mianzhu, served him with delicious food and drink, and then he stayed at his residence in peace of mind, waiting for news from Jincheng.

It is now the end of January.

Previously, Ye Ming wanted to attack Jiange on the tenth day of February, but after being dissuaded by Li Xin, he changed it to February 20th, which means that if there is no action from Jincheng within [-] days, Li Xin will start attacking Jiange together with Ye Ming .

At that time, all procedures were handled according to the rules of the court, and Li Xin had no ability and no excuse to stop Ye Ming from doing things.

Soon, the time came to the seventh day of February in the third year of Taikang.

It has been ten days since the deposed prince entered Mianzhu.

Li Xin finally received the letter from Jincheng, but the letter was not sent by Li Shuo, but by the General Zhu Guo himself.

The content of the letter was very simple. He also built a canopy under Jincheng City and invited Li Xin to come over for a while on the ninth day of February.

After Li Xin finished reading the letter, he casually threw it to Zhao Jia who was at the side, and said with a smile, "Brother You'an, take a look?"
