Unparalleled Concubine

Lin Hu nodded silently, and said with a smile: "Brother Xin, you don't have to do this. I live wherever I live. This place is much better than our hometown."

Li Xin nodded silently.

"Although Mu Ying believes in me, not all the people in Hanzhou City can be trusted. You live here, please remember that no matter who asks you, whether it is side-splitting, intentional or unintentional, you must not leak it. , You made that thing!"

"The Mu family can't either."

Li Xin took a deep breath and said, "If you encounter anything, go to Mu Ying, he can be trusted."

Lin Hu nodded, stretched out his relatively rough right hand, hesitated for a moment, and patted Li Xin on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, Brother Xin, I understand."

Having said that, he bowed his head in silence for a while, and said slowly: "It's you...be careful."

"The water in the capital is very muddy, brother Xin, you have to be careful at all times."

Li Xin smiled.

"Don't worry, the water in the capital is all mixed up for my brother."

A slightly simple and honest smile appeared on Lin Hu's face.

"Brother Xin, I have figured it out these days. If someone in the capital makes things difficult for you, I will use that thing to rescue you."

Seeing this brother who grew up with him, Li Xinxin was a little touched. He put his arm around Lin Hu's shoulder and let out a sigh of relief.

"Okay, it's getting late, I have to go."

"Don't worry, when my uncle and I entered the capital in single clothes, we were able to thrive in the capital. Now I am the Marquis of Jing'an, the Great General of Zhenbei, and the Crown Prince and Taibao of the imperial court. I don’t know how many times thicker it was back then.”

Lord Jing'an smiled and said, "I can't lose."

As he said that, he had already returned to Mu Ying and the people who saw him off. He put Lin Hu next to Mu Ying, then turned over and got on his own Mo Xiaoma.

Mu Ying stood by the side of the road, cupping her fists at Li Xin.

"Master Hou, take care of everything."

"I haven't met my nephew yet, and I'm still waiting to come to the capital to drink with you."

Li Xin sat on the horse and waved to Mu Ying.

"Brother Mu, don't worry. When that doll grows up, I will let him recognize you as his master. You will have many opportunities to meet him in the future."

General Mu let out a long laugh.

"That's good, I'll have the cheek to admit this disciple!"

Sitting on the horse, Li Xin hugged the people who came to see him off from Hanzhou Mansion.

"When things are over, I'll invite everyone to drink at the Qinhuai River in the capital!"

Most of the people in Hanzhou had never been in the capital, only Mu Ying, who had been a general for two years, laughed heartily.

"Your Majesty has said what you say, so don't go against your word."

He said with a long smile.

"The girls of Qinhuai River are very precious!"

Chapter 762

In the middle of the twelfth lunar month of the eighth year of Taikang.

After a few days of cloudy and rainy days in the capital, it snowed heavily. This time, the heavy snow was comparable to that of Chengde in 17 years. The heavy snow covered the ground and blocked the official roads in and out of the capital.

On the road, it is difficult for vehicles and horses to travel, and there are few people.

However, there were still some people rushing through the wind and snow. These people wore thick cotton clothes and entered the city from the east gate of the capital, entered Yongle Square from Jiuliushufang, and then entered the imperial city directly from Yonganmen.

This group of people is Xiao Zheng, Xiao Huai and others.

After entering the imperial city, Xiao Zheng turned back to let Xiao Huai and others disperse. He briefly organized his description, touched the things in his sleeves, took a few deep breaths, and walked towards Weiyang Palace.

He is the chief eunuch of the inner court, walking in the palace was naturally unimpeded, and he entered the door of the emperor's study in Weiyang Palace very smoothly. When he reached the door, he hesitated for a long time, finally gritted his teeth, walked in, and knelt down with a plop In front of the emperor who was reviewing the memorial, he bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, the servant has returned."

The emperor slowly put down the vermilion pen in his hand, and looked up at Xiao Zheng.

"Why did you come back?"

Xiao Zheng bowed his head and said: "The road was blocked by heavy snow, and the carriages and horses were impassable. The slaves and servants had to abandon the carriage and walk all the way, so it was delayed for a few days."

With a blank expression on his face, the Son of Heaven stretched out his hand and threw a copy of the memorandum in front of Xiao Zheng.

"You haven't returned to Beijing yet, but Hanzhou Muying's letter of recruitment has been delivered to me."

Speaking of this, His Majesty the Emperor stood up from the dragon chair, put his hands behind his back, and walked in front of Xiao Zheng.

"Didn't I send you to the southwest to tell Pei Jin to stop?"

The Son of Heaven grabbed Xiao Zheng's front and asked coldly: "What's going on in Southwest China, please tell me exactly what's going on!"

The emperor was angry, and Xiao Zheng was terrified. He knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, this servant is about to report the situation in the Southwest to Your Majesty..."

Only then did the emperor let go of Xiao Zheng's front collar, took a deep breath, and sat back on his dragon chair.

As for Xiao Zheng, trembling faintly, he told the emperor about the situation in Hanzhou bit by bit.

When talking about the situation of the siege that day, Xiao Zheng glanced at the emperor secretly first, then swallowed his saliva, and said through gritted teeth: "That was the fourth day of Pei Jin's siege, because the siege of the first three days went very smoothly, Han The state city was already crumbling, so General Pei's attack on the fourth day was very violent, and he directly transferred the Hanzhong Army and Jincheng's garrison to attack the city. From morning to noon, Hanzhou City was almost broken..."

Xiao Zheng shook his body and continued to speak.

"However, at this time, some unknown objects were thrown down by a group of people on the wall of Hanzhou City. These objects would explode when thrown into the crowd...the damage was extremely severe."

Xiao Zheng took out a palm-sized piece of pottery from his sleeve, held it in his hands, bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, look, this is a fragment of the thing that the slaves brought back from the southwest, it is this thing, fell among the crowd, Terrifying."

"In just a split second, the soldiers in the front row suffered heavy casualties, and the formation was in chaos. They were finally rushed out by those Hanzhou...rebels, and finally defeated..."

The emperor's face was gloomy.

He came to Xiao Zheng, took the pottery in his hand, looked it up and down a few times, and said coldly: "What is this thing?"

"Should be a clay pot."

On the way back, Xiao Zheng carefully studied this thing.Hearing this, he immediately replied: "When this pottery pot falls into the crowd, it will shatter with a loud bang, and the pottery fragments will fly in all directions. Even if the surrounding soldiers are wearing armor, they will be cut by these pottery fragments. It is very severe."

The Son of Heaven held the pottery shard in his hand and sat back in his seat with an extremely ugly expression on his face.
