Unparalleled Concubine

"If we really have to wait until then, it will be too late."

He stretched out his hand and patted Mu Ying's shoulder, with a smile still on his face.

"When I go to the capital, I can grasp the situation. Brother Mu will stay in the southwest for a few years. After a few years, when everything settles down, I will invite Brother Mu to drink in the Deyi Building."

Speaking of Deyilou, Mu Ying recalled the past when she was a Habayashi guard in the capital. At that time, Li Xin often ran to Deyilou, and he followed him. This black-faced general who had always had a dark face finally showed a smile .

"Okay, when we enter the capital again, we must stay in the Deyi Building until we get drunk and never return!"

After saying this, Mu Ying hesitated for a moment, then reached out and patted Li Xin on the shoulder.

He was supposed to be taller than Li Xin in stature, so this kind of shooting had the taste of an older brother talking to his younger brother.

"Changan, you...be sure to take care."

Li Xin nodded with a smile.

"Brother Mu, don't worry, we've been through so many storms and waves these years, and we'll get through this time."

Having said that, Li Xin turned and walked towards his carriage, Mu Ying followed behind him, and sent him to the vicinity of the carriage.

Li Xin stepped into the carriage and looked back at Mu Ying.

"When I was in Yongzhou Tinghuaben, there was a general named Mu Ying in the storybook, who had the same name and surname as Brother Mu."

Mu Ying was a little surprised.

"Is there really such a thing?"

Li Xin said with a smile: "That General Mu is a formidable person, and he has done a great job as an official. In the future, if I have the opportunity, I will also give Brother Mu an official in the storybook."

Although Mu Ying was a little puzzled by Li Xin's words, she still nodded.

"It's all about following Lord Hou's arrangement."

Lord Jing'an smiled and closed the curtain of the car.

What he said was actually his world. In that world, Mu Ying was the adopted son of Zhu Yuanzhang, granted the title of Marquis of Xiping, and posthumously titled King of Qianning.

The descendants inherited Qian Guogong.

It is also commonly known as Mu Wangfu.

………………

The carriage set off from Jiange, headed east along the official road, and headed towards the capital.

Xie Dai and more than 100 Habayashi guards surrounded Li Xin's carriage as they did when they came, protecting Li Xin with them.

The difference from when they came was that their speed was much faster this time. When they came, they walked this road for a month. If they went back at this speed, they would be able to reach the capital in about 20 days.

In the evening, a group of people entered a county town and found an inn to rest.

All the Habayashi guards had been "closed" for several months, and they were not used to the sudden freedom at this time, and the Habayashi guards were strictly disciplined, with Xie Dai as the middle man, they didn't dare to drink, so they could only be obedient Watch nearby.

Only Li Xin and Chen 16 were sitting on the first floor of the inn, drinking and eating.

Yubayashi Zhonglang, Xie Dai, hesitated for a while, took a jug of wine, and stood beside Li Xin's table, but he didn't dare to sit down, just put the jug gently on Li Xin's table, facing Li Xin lowered his head slightly, his tone respectful.

"Thank you, Lord Hou, for not killing me."

Li Xin was eating food, but when he heard this, he raised his head and glanced at Xie Dai, and put down the chopsticks in his hand.

"Where did this come from?"

Xie Dai took a deep breath, and said: "I will follow Master Hou to the southwest, and when we arrive at Jiange, life and death are at the discretion of Master Hou. If Master Hou can kill us but not kill us, it is the grace of not killing us."

Li Xin smiled, and pointed to the opposite side of himself.

"You're welcome, sit down and talk."

There is one thing to say, he still admires this young man from the Xie family. Compared to Xie Jing, Xie Dai has a certain degree of advance and retreat, and he can understand many things with his eyes. He is a very smart young man.

Next, if the capital really changes, Li Xin will inevitably have to get in touch with Xie's family. At that time, he would rather get in touch with this Xie Dai than talk to that Uncle Guo.

Xie Dai took a deep breath, and carefully sat down opposite Li Xin.

Li Xin asked Chen Shiliu to get an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks, and placed them in front of Xie Dai.

While eating, he talked with Xie Dai.

"Actually, it's not a kind of grace not to kill. I was born in the Habayashi Guard, and everyone in the capital knows it. Just because of the black skin on your body, I won't just kill you."

What Xie Dai said just now was partly out of temptation. Hearing that Li Xin might really kill them, Churo Habayashi shuddered all over.

He whispered: "Master Hou, do you want to go back to the capital?"

When Li Xin said what he just said, it was tantamount to admitting that he had colluded with the Southwest, at least it had something to do with it. Since he had already left the capital at this time, it stands to reason that he should not go back.

"Naturally, I will return to Beijing to renew the order."

Li Xin raised his head, glanced at Xie Dai, and said calmly: "A few months ago, I followed His Majesty's order to appease the Southwest. Now all the prefectures in the Southwest have settled down. The Mu family and the Li family in the Southwest have surrendered to the Jin Dynasty. There is no more turmoil in the southwest, since the errands are done, it is natural to return to Beijing to reply."

Having said that, he glanced at Xie Dai with a half-smile.

"Could it be that General Xie Lang thinks that I have to stay in the southwest all the time?"

"Don't dare."

Even though the bowl and chopsticks were placed in front of him, Xie Dai still didn't dare to move the chopsticks. He lowered his head and frowned slightly, wondering what Li Xin was going to do.

This is information asymmetry.

Xie Dai is a smart person, if he also knew that Emperor Taikang would die soon, he could roughly guess what Li Xin was going to do when he returned to Beijing, but now, no matter who it is, he would be at a loss.

Different from Xie Dai's restraint, Li Xin ate his own food, and soon he was half full and put down his chopsticks.

Then he looked at Xie Dai.

"After Xie Lang returns to Beijing, you might as well go see the empress first."

"The Xie family... may have a lot of things to do."

Chapter 810

On the way back to Beijing, it was generally smooth. Xie Dai led a group of Habayashi guards to protect Li Xin with all their heart, but they were in a hurry on the way and didn't have a good rest. After a month, the group felt exhausted .

But in October of the ninth year of Taikang, they finally arrived at the west gate of the capital.
