But through Li Xin's tone of voice, and Li Shen's somewhat similar appearance to Li Xin, Xiao Mingli could still guess something.

He took a serious look at Li Shen, then took a deep breath, and said, "Thinking about it, he is Lord Hou's... biological father, the old Mr. Mu."

When Li Shen was recuperating in Yongzhou, it was in the midst of a change in the Southwest. When Li Zhijie was seriously ill, he didn't even reveal his real name at that time. He just assumed the name of Mr. Mu and recuperated in this remote county.

Later, after Li Xin was born, Xiao Mingli could naturally understand that Mr. Mu's surname was not Mu, but Li.

But he still didn't know Li Shen's real identity.

The news of Li Xin going to Beijing to find relatives was widely spread in the capital at first, but the news was later covered up in a small area. Nowadays, there are not many people in the capital who know about it, but it is not a small family like the Xiao family. Small households can easily be found in the capital.

Lord Jing'an lowered his eyebrows and said, "Mr. Xiao, do you have anything to say to him?"

Xiao Mingli's lips trembled a little, he walked up to Li Shen leaning on a cane, and said angrily, "You were the one who harmed my daughter back then!"

General Zhu Guo was expressionless.

"Master Xiao, I did something wrong back then, but Qinglan's death cannot be shirked by your family."

Xiao Mingli threw the crutches aside angrily, and cursed angrily: "She is a family of daughters, she conceived before marriage, and she is still obsessed with giving birth, what can I do?"

"Let's spread the word, not to mention that my Xiao family's reputation is gone, what about her reputation? You have committed a crime and left, have you ever thought about how much suffering she will suffer as a little girl?"

Li Shen closed his eyes and did not continue speaking.

He couldn't shirk his responsibility for the old things back then, no matter what he said, and if he continued to argue, it would appear that he hadn't taken responsibility.

Lord Jing'an folded his hands in his front sleeves and spoke slowly.

"Okay, that's it."

He said lightly: "I don't like you talking about my mother like this in public."

Xiao Mingli immediately fell silent.

After Li Xin arrived in Yongzhou two years ago, he sent people to the capital to inquire about Li Xin's origin. Two years later, the Xiao family had already deeply experienced the horror of this young Marquis. Now, there is no one in the Xiao family. Dare to disobey Li Xin any more.

Li Xin said to Li Shen calmly: "You go to the place where the horse is tied and wait for me, we will go back together in a while."

Li Shen first glanced at Xiao Mingli, then at the Xiao family members who followed behind Xiao Mingli, and finally smiled mockingly.

"It's better for you to stay away from them, otherwise these people with terribly shallow eyelids will implicate you in their actions sooner or later."

Xiao Mingli glared at Li Shen.

But Li Shen ignored him, turned around and left.

After Li Shen walked away, Li Xin looked back at Xiao Mingli.

"Old Mr. Xiao is blocking Benhou here, doesn't he just want to come and see me?"

Xiao Mingli smiled awkwardly, then bent over to salute Li Xin.

"Master Hou..."

"The old man heard that there is a shortage of people in the Habayashi Guard in the capital, and it happens that the grandchildren of the old man are also at the right age. Can the Marquis take them..."

Xiao Mingli's grandson, in fact, according to blood, that is, Li Xin's cousins, has this relationship. According to Xiao Mingli's thinking, as long as they enter the Habayashi Guard, Li Xin will take care of them, so I won't say a few in the future Senior official, as long as he enters the Habayashi Guard and becomes the emperor's army, the Xiao family can walk sideways in Qiyang County.

But before he finished speaking, he heard Li Xin's cold voice.

"No."

Xiao Mingli raised his head in astonishment, and looked at Li Xin.

"Master Hou, the cubs of Lin Orion's family can..."

In the first year of Taikang, Li Xin went back to his hometown to visit his relatives, and brought Lin Orion's son Lin Hu into Yulinwei. He married a son of Habayashi Lang, and became a famous figure in Qiyang County.

Lord Jing'an was expressionless.

"Huzi shoots arrows from fifty paces away, and hits every shot, can the young masters of the Xiao family do it?"

"Huzi, he has been in the Habayashi Guard for less than three months, and his bow, horse, fist and kick are already the top in his school lieutenant battalion. Can the young master of the Xiao family do it?"

"Mr. Xiao, we already talked about the old things two years ago. I didn't do some things because of my mother's sake. It doesn't mean I have forgotten them in my heart."

"Just relying on your family's virtues, you have gained power. I don't know how many people will be bullied by you."

Li Xin passed Xiao Mingli with a blank expression on his face.

"I naturally hate your Xiao family very much now. As long as I live, the Xiao family will never get any benefit from me."

After saying this, Lord Jing'an turned around and walked away.

Xiao Mingli stood where he was, with as ugly a face as he wanted.

Not being able to climb a high branch is not the most painful thing. The most painful thing is that you have already stood on a branch of a big tree, but you are shaken off by this big tree.

………………

After dismissing these annoying Xiao family members, Li Xin turned around and walked to the place where he tied his horse. There was already a black armored feather forest guard waiting there. Seeing Li Xin approaching, he stepped forward and cupped his fists: "Master, The dry food, water and rice have all been purchased, and we can leave at any time."

Li Xin looked up at the sky, it was already afternoon.

He didn't hesitate too much, but got on his horse.

"We have to rush back to Mianzhu as soon as possible. Time is running out and we don't have time to rest. Work hard, everyone, and hurry overnight."

These Habayashi guards are all direct descendants of Li Xin, and none of them complained when they heard that they all jumped on their horses neatly.

The General Zhu Guo sat on the horse, glanced at Li Xin, then shook his head and said with emotion: "It's the Marquis of Jing'an who can train the emperor's army to become his own army."

Li Xin ignored him, but turned his horse's head around and shouted, "Let's go!"

Forty or fifty riders brought up a cloud of smoke and dust, and left along Qiyang's official road.

Li Xin and Li Shen walked in front side by side.

When riding horses at high speed, it is difficult to hear each other talking, so the two of them did not communicate much along the way. At night, a group of people chose a place to camp. Only then did General Zhu Guo find the opportunity and came to Li Xin's tent before.

There was a bonfire in front of the tent, and Li Xin was roasting a not-so-fat rabbit he had caught.

It is spring now, and few animals that have just survived a winter are very fat.

Li Shen silently sat across from Li Xin, and said slowly, "Those Xiao family members, do you want you to give them a way?"

Li Xin was concentrating on roasting rabbits, when he heard this, he raised his head and glanced at Li Shen, frowning slightly.
