Unparalleled Concubine

The Son of Heaven blushed and forced a smile.

"hope so."

Chapter 797 Arrogant General Mu

To be honest, it is not a big problem to have a bunch of tails behind him. After all, as long as he leaves the capital, or within the scope of the Jingzhao Mansion, Shen Gang and others will naturally follow Li Xin secretly. The more than 100 people like Xie Dai will basically not pose any threat to Li Xin.

When they reached the southwest border, the life and death of people like Xie Dai would be in Li Xin's hands.

However, Li Xin still has some feelings for Habayashi, and he admires the young man from the Xie family, Xie Dai, so he is not going to make things difficult for these Habayashi, just as if he had a group of guards with him.

Originally, it took about half a month to ride a horse from the capital to the southwest, but Li Xin was riding a carriage, and the speed of the carriage was far slower than riding a horse. Therefore, after they set off from the capital, it took them nearly a month to arrive. southwest.

At this time, it was already April in the ninth year of Taikang, and the spring flowers had withered.

Li Xin and others entered Shu from Hanzhong, and then arrived at Jiange.

They stopped at the Jianmen Pass.

Jianmen Pass is a valley like being split by a sharp sword. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It has been the strongest gate in Shu since ancient times. But at this time, Jianmen Pass has changed its flag. Swaying in the wind.

Xie Dai stood behind Li Xin, looked at the Li Ziqi on the city wall, and glanced at Li Xin in surprise.

Lord Jing'an sensed this guy's gaze, and gave him an annoyed look.

"This is Li from the Chenghan royal family, not me."

Xie Dai wiped the sweat from his forehead, lowered his head and said, "Master Hou, do you need to go down to tell the door to open?"

Li Xin shook his head slightly: "No, let's wait here, someone will pick us up in a while."

Li Shuo, who had already taken off his cotton robe and put on a single suit, stood behind Li Xin and looked at Jianmen Pass.

When the Hanzhou army attacked Jiange, he also sent out some people, and later some of them were stationed at Jianmen Pass. When he left the southwest to go to the capital, these people were still at Jianmen Pass, and they should be there at this time.

At this time, Shen Gang and others had already reported the letter to Jianmen Pass. Li Xin did not wait long, and Jianmen Pass closed and opened. Mu Ying, who was in black armor, led more than 100 people, came out to meet Li Xin. .

At the same time, dozens of people dressed in Pingnan military uniforms, led by an old man in his fifties, also came out to greet Li Xin and others.

Mu Ying and the others got off their horses in front of Li Xin, then walked up to Li Xin, first glanced at Xie Dai and the others, then clasped their fists at Li Xin indifferently and said, "It turns out that Lord Jing'an came to the southwest Come, welcome if you are far away."

The old man behind him was Li Chuan, the deputy general of the Pingnan Army, who was born in the Li family of Zhao County. He had been with Li Shen for more than ten years. After coming out, he didn't say much, just walked up to Li Shuo, asked a few questions in a low voice, and then stood behind Li Shuo without saying a word.

Li Xin smiled: "I haven't seen you for a few years, how come Brother Mu has a lot of life?"

"You still have the face to say!"

General Mu held his head high and snorted coldly: "At the beginning, you were the one who made an alliance with us on behalf of the Jin Dynasty, and agreed that after taking Jincheng, we would give Hanzhou to the survivors of Southern Shu to recuperate. Now it's less than five years. The Jin court turned back and sent troops to attack our Hanzhou government!"

"Hanzhou City fought hard, and our troops suffered heavy casualties!"

"Now I have made up my mind. I will no longer honor the emperor of your Great Jin Dynasty. If you want to restore the Chenghan Dynasty, it will be useless for anyone to talk about it, and neither will you, Lord Jing'an!"

Li Xin still had a smile on his face.

"Brother Mu, don't be so anxious. I'll talk about it slowly after I enter the city."

General Mu held his head high, extremely arrogant.

"Then let's go."

Soon, Li Xin and others entered Jianmen Pass. After passing through Jianmen Pass, they arrived at Jiange County Town behind Jianmen Pass. After entering the city, Xie Dai and others were placed in a large courtyard. Li Shuo followed Li Chuan and others back to the Pingnan army camp, while Li Xin followed Mu Ying to the Jiange county government office to "negotiate".

In Jiange County Yamen, Mu Ying set up a banquet and sat opposite Li Xin. He offered Li Xin a glass of wine and laughed loudly: "Master Hou, my acting skills just now are not bad, right?"

When Shen Gang and others came to deliver the letter to him, they specifically asked Li Xin to have people from the court around him, so Mu Ying acted out in front of Xie Dai and those people according to Li Xin's words, and the scene just now happened. .

Li Xin drank the water and wine in front of him, and looked up at Mu Ying.

"Slightly exaggerated."

General Mu himself drank a glass of wine and grinned: "If you want me to say, there is no need to act for those people, just kill it with one knife, and we don't need to be afraid of anyone in the southwest."

Li Xin said indifferently: "Those are all Habayashi guards, and some of them are old friends of you and me when we were in Habayashi guards. Are you going to kill them?"

After Wang Zhong retired from the Habayashi Guard, both the left and right battalions of the Habayashi Guard were under the control of Xie Dai. Among the more than 100 people he brought out, dozens of them were from the Habayashi Guard Zuo Camp, and some were Li Xin. Of course, it's not easy to kill an old man who can be called by name.

Mu Ying shrank her head, shook her head and said: "Then don't kill them, just let them go back to the capital."

He toasted Li Xin with a glass of wine and said with a smile: "By the way, how did you leave the capital, Mr. You'an and I mentioned Mr. You'an a few days ago. Mr. You'an said that Mr. Hou may not be able to I can't leave the capital."

Li Xin put down the wine glass in his hand, and said quietly: "I told the emperor that I could help him settle the matter in the Southwest, and he let me out."

General Mu's eyes widened.

"I don't even believe this, but would that narrow-minded emperor believe it?"

Li Xin nodded.

"He believed it."

Li Xin was silent for a while, and let out a mouthful of alcohol.

"In other words, there is nothing he can do if he doesn't believe it."

Mu Ying couldn't understand the complicated relationship for a while, so he didn't make things difficult for himself. He poured wine for Li Xin and himself, and said with a smile: "No matter what, it's a good thing for Lord Hou to come out." Good thing, I don't have to be angry with their Ji family anymore!"

"When will the eldest princess and my nephews and nieces be brought over again, Marquis, you will settle down in the southwest and don't go back to the capital to see Ji Wen's face!"

Emperor Taikang's real name, before he ascended the throne, few people shouted it, and since he ascended the throne, even fewer people dared to mention it, that is to say, in this southwestern land, Mu Ying can mention this name without restraint.

Li Xin shook his head helplessly.

"My matter needs to be discussed from a long-term perspective. Let's not mention it for the time being. Let's discuss matters in the southwest."

He took a sip of his wine and asked, "Where is Zhao Jia now?"

"In Jincheng."

Mu Ying said with a smile: "Mr. You'an is in charge of the overall situation in Jincheng, and I will be an errand runner and guard the Jiange here."

Li Xin nodded, and continued to ask: "What is the attitude of the various states in the southwest towards the Hanzhou Army?"

When this matter was brought up, Mu Ying's expression turned a little ugly.

"Mostly they don't support it. They think that even the Pingnan Army can't separate the Southwest. Naturally, our Hanzhou Army with tens of thousands of people can't."

"It's a pity that our troops are too small, and we can't divide our troops to go to various state capitals, otherwise they won't be able to accept it."
