Unparalleled Concubine

General Zhu Guo looked indifferent.

He took a deep look at Li Xin.

"The Marquis of Jing'an is so thoughtful."

Li Xin smiled and said: "If Li Xin was alone, naturally he wouldn't need to be so cautious, but now I have a family and a house behind me, and tens of thousands of brothers from the Imperial Army are following me. It doesn't matter if I am stupid, but I can't drag others to die together General, don't you think so?"

"You're right."

Li Shen nodded.

"Behind me is the entire Southwest, the entire Pingnan Army, so I have been so careful all these years."

"It's tiring."

Ordinary people live in this world, there is no need to be careful about everything, because no one will try to harm you, everyone usually does what they should.

But people like Li Shen who have a huge interest group behind them are quite different.

Every move they make is tied to the lives of countless people, so they dare not be careless, and they have to be careful.

This is very laborious.

No matter what you do, you have to think twice before you act, and then review the pros and cons. It's okay for a day or two, but after three, five, or even ten years, you will be very, very tired.

Li Xin sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "So the general is not going to surrender?"

"I am willing to surrender."

Li Shen said indifferently: "Jing'an Hou Ye has the real Chunyang to help you. The gate of Jincheng is like a fake to you. In addition, His Royal Highness was also taken back by you. It is meaningless to keep Jincheng. We are willing Surrender."

"I will open the gate of Jincheng in three days. Lord Jing'an can bring people to receive Jincheng. The Pingnan army will be at the gate of Jincheng and hand over all the armor and weapons to Lord Hou."

Li Xin clapped his hands and smiled: "This is very good."

"However, my Mianzhu garrison is not acclimatized. I got sick in the southwest and I can't move easily. In this way, the gate of the general will be opened first. When Senior Brother Ye breaks the Jiange, I will invite Senior Brother Ye to take over Jincheng. .”

Li Shen smiled: "Your Majesty still has [-] troops in Hanzhou City, plus the people in Mianzhu City. With the gate of Jincheng open, it is enough to win Jincheng. Why hide your clumsiness? How about waiting for Ye Ming to take the credit?"

"Don't talk nonsense, General."

Li Xin's face was calm: "When did I have [-] soldiers in Hanzhou City?"

Li Shen chuckled and did not expose Li Xin.

Lord Jing'an went on to say: "Besides, I don't need to take the credit for Mianzhu. Originally, I was only the lieutenant general in this Western Expedition. The main lord is still outside Jianmen Pass. I don't need to force myself to destroy it alone." You're in southern Xinjiang, aren't you?"

Li Shen lowered his head and drank a cup of tea, and said calmly, "Li Xin, the 5 people in Hanzhou are too far away from the capital. If something happens to you in the capital, they won't be able to save you."

The Marquis of Jing'an smiled: "I don't violate the laws of the country, and I don't betray the imperial court. How can something happen in the capital?"

"Everyone knows that there is no need to pretend here."

Li Shen lowered his brows and said: "If I remember correctly, you are now the second-rank general of the Imperial Army. After you pacified the southwest, you returned to the capital. What will the emperor seal you for?"

"Is it from the right governor of the first-rank governor's mansion, or the left governor of the first-rank rank?"

"Or hand over the entire Forbidden Army to your hands?"

"Your surname is Li, the emperor doesn't trust you."

General Zhu Guo chuckled: "None of these three positions can fall on your head. You can at most have the false title of Minister of the Ministry of War, and then you will be given a first-class title and a first-class Marquis."

Speaking of this, Li Shen continued: "These old subordinates of the Forbidden Army who went west with you will either be transferred from the Forbidden Army or transferred to Hou Jingde's command after they return to the capital. Honestly, in Jing'an Hou's mansion, he is the son-in-law of that Princess Qinghe."

A smile appeared on the corner of Li Xin's mouth.

"There's nothing wrong with that. Being a rich man for a lifetime is much better than the fate of the general."

"But the emperor of the Ji family will not let you live in peace for the rest of his life."

Li Shen looked indifferent.

"He took the throne through a palace change. You are the biggest contributor to that palace change and the biggest witness."

"Great kindness becomes enmity!"

"Hou Jingde, you, and Ye Lin will become the emperor's thorn in the side after many years, and become the stain he most wants to get rid of in his life!"

"Hou Jingde was born as a general, and he doesn't have much brains. He can save his life if he shrinks into the imperial army. The Ye family has a great career, and with the Northern Suppressing Army, the emperor is unlikely to touch him."

"But what about you?"

Li Shen's eyes were stern: "After you returned to the capital, you were ignored for a few years, and after you faded out of the sight of the government and the public, the emperor can deal with you as he wants."

"Think about it for yourself, can a princess Qinghe protect you?"

"The general said so much because he wanted me to abandon the imperial court and join forces with your Pingnan Army."

Li Xin's face remained unchanged, and he smiled and said, "It's hard for the general to think so much for me."

"But I can think of anything the general can think of."

Li Shen was finally slightly moved.

He took a deep look at his son who was living outside.

"So, what are you going to do?"

"No matter what you do, you can't be like the great general, living your whole life just to live."

"The general once taught me to look forward when encountering things."

Li Xin lowered his eyebrows and said: "I have come to this point, I have to think about it before and after, and take a look. If I can live in the capital safely in the future, then I will do it with peace of mind. My Marquis of Jingan, if I can't go on, I naturally have the means to protect myself."

"Don't worry about me, the general."

Lord Jing'an patted the armor on his body and made a crisp sound.

"So, the general has said so much, is he willing to surrender, or is he unwilling to surrender?"

Li Shen sat on the spot, lowered his head and did not answer the question.

"Li Xin, you are too conceited. Not everything will be under your control."

"It's even more impossible for the emperor of the Ji family to be controlled by you."

"In the future, when the emperor you hold the throne of God in one hand will eat back at you, you will know how much wrong you have done today because of your arrogance!"
