Unparalleled Concubine

Li Xin took a deep breath, bowed and clasped his fists: "Li Xin, the humble captain of the Habayashi Guard, has met General Zhu Guo."

Li Shen nodded expressionlessly, and said very bluntly: "I have become a captain at a young age, and my future achievements will be limitless."

Emperor Chengde turned his head to look at Li Shen, and said in surprise: "Why is Li Qing showing displeasure, but he doesn't like this young man very much? Then, I will change Li Qing for someone else."

Li Shen took a deep breath, and a smile appeared on his face: "Your Majesty misunderstood, the minister is always so serious in the army, it's not because he doesn't like it."

Emperor Chengde nodded: "Li Qing is commander in the army, so naturally he should be more dignified, I understand."

He smiled and said, "Besides this young man, Yushitai has three new scholars who want to go to southern Xinjiang with you. Don't worry, these people are just going to southern Xinjiang to see the situation, and they don't have any authority in the army."

Li Shen bowed his head and said: "The shore of the land, could it be the king's ministers, all the authority in the southern border belongs to His Majesty, and the ministers are only in charge of His Majesty, if His Majesty wants to take it back, it's just a word."

Emperor Chengde glanced at Li Shen with a half-smile.

"Li Qing is serious?"

Li Shen looked serious: "Naturally."

The Son of Heaven laughed: "Forget it, other than you, no one else can command the Pingnan Army. This southern border still depends on the Li family."

This half-joking remark sent chills down Li Shen's back.

After Chengde Emperor said this joke, he pointed at Li Xin, coughed, and whispered to Li Shen.

"What's more, this young man is quite close to my youngest daughter recently. If she doesn't want to stay, he is probably going to be my son-in-law. You should be careful in southern Xinjiang and don't let him die."

The Son of Heaven blinked at Li Shen.

"Otherwise, it will be troublesome if my nine girl makes trouble."

Li Shen bowed his head and lowered his voice.

"Sir, follow His Majesty's order..."

Chapter 113 Wang Mo

The words of Emperor Chengde can be said to have stuck a life-saving talisman on Li Xin.

Although the general of the Zhu Kingdom has the ability to ignore the words of the emperor, but for Li Xin, whether it is worth doing so is a question worth pondering.

After listening to the emperor's words, Li Shen bent down slightly, bowed his head to the Emperor Chengde and said, "Your Majesty, the remaining crimes in southern Xinjiang are dangerous, and I can only do my best to protect Captain Li."

At this point, he paused, and then continued: "If your majesty is worried about Lieutenant Li's safety, you can go to southern Xinjiang with someone else."

Emperor Chengde narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Young people always need some experience to be talented. You just have to be brave. Even if he dies in southern Xinjiang, I won't blame you for anything."

Li Shen bowed his head and said, "I obey the order."

Speaking of this, Emperor Chengde looked up at the sky, and then said calmly: "Okay, it's getting late, and I won't delay the general's expedition. I will go to southern Xinjiang to suppress the rebellion. The general will spend more time thinking about it. Xinjiang has been in chaos for more than 30 years, and it is a good thing to be able to survive sooner.”

"Your Majesty, I will live up to your majesty's expectations."

The emperor nodded, returned to the dragon chariot with his hands behind his back, and then gave Princess Jiu who was hiding behind the crowd a glance, and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Jiu, you are a daughter's family, what is it like to come here, why don't you come here soon?"

Ji Lingxiu was so frightened that she trembled all over, and quickly ran out from the crowd. She ran out in an orderly manner, and saluted Emperor Chengde: "Father..."

The emperor beckoned to her: "This is not the place for you to stay. Go back to the palace with me. It's been a while since you moved out. Your mother and concubine have been thinking about you, so go back to the palace with me to see her."

Princess Qinghe lowered her head and said, "Daughter complies."

As she spoke, she stepped onto the dragon chariot and sat beside the Emperor Chengde in a well-mannered manner.

The dragon chariot got up slowly, and the father and daughter headed towards the palace.

In the large dragon chariot, the nine princesses pulled the sleeves of the Chengde emperor, looked up at her father, and said in a low voice: "Father, the southern border is fighting, you send Li Xin, will something happen to him? "

Emperor Chengde glanced at his daughter, and said with a half-smile: "Why, my Ninth Princess, have you taken a fancy to this young man?"

Ji Lingxiu blushed, bowed her head and said, "What did Emperor Father say..."

"It's just that Li Xin made the food delicious. My daughter is afraid that he will die, so she won't be able to eat anymore..."

Emperor Chengde reached out and touched Ji Lingxiu's head, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I sent a few inner guards to follow him to southern Xinjiang, and he won't die easily."

Speaking of this, the Emperor of Chengde chuckled and said, "Li Xin is now an eighth-rank military honor and a seventh-rank military post. If he stays in the capital, he will never be qualified to marry you in his life."

Princess Qinghe's face was red, and she covered her face with her hands.

"Father, if you keep talking nonsense, my daughter will ignore you..."

The emperor laughed, and the father and daughter drifted away.

………………

After the emperor's chariot was gone, Li Shen returned to his horse, looked back at Li Xin and four or five military supervisors sent by Yushitai, his voice was indifferent.

"Listen well, southern border is no more dangerous than the capital city. Those Shu people will definitely kill you easily if they become fierce. You still have time to stay in the capital city. If you die in southern border, benhou shall not be held responsible."

On the surface, he was talking to several military supervisors, but in fact he was talking to Li Xin alone.

No matter how you say it, Li Xin is his son. Although he is not prepared to recognize this son, he doesn't really want Li Xin to die.

Looking at the current situation, this Li Xin has already joined the camp of the Son of Heaven. If he really sees something that he shouldn't see when he arrives in southern Xinjiang, then Li Shen will have no choice but to kill people.

Several military supervisors from Yushitai were all literati, and most of them were Jinshi from the top three. They were timid. After listening to Li Shen's words, they didn't react on the surface, but they were trembling in their hearts.

But there was no way, they all received the imperial decree like Li Xin, if they didn't go to the southern border, they would die. Although they were afraid in their hearts, they had to go.

Li Xin pretended not to hear Li Shen's words.

If he had a choice, he wouldn't appear here.

Li Shen didn't look at Li Xin from the beginning to the end, not because he didn't want to talk to Li Xin, but because there were a few people around Li Xin.

Five people, to be exact.

These five people were all strong men, the leader was half a head taller than Li Xin, he lowered his head and cupped his fists towards Li Xin, and said in a deep voice, "Inner Guard Wang Mo, by His Majesty's order, will accompany Lieutenant Li along the way. "

The inner guards and the Habayashi guards belong to the emperor's army, but the inner guards are relatively closer to the emperor. After all, the inner guards are stationed in the imperial city, while the Habayashi guards are stationed in the southern city.

Among the inner guards, there is a battalion with the character A, which is a special battalion of captains, because this battalion of captains is responsible for the safety of the emperor, and when the emperor travels, it is also the battalion of captains who protects him personally.

That is, the emperor's personal bodyguard.

Although this A-character battalion is the establishment of the school captain's battalion, they not only broke away from the title of the imperial guards, but were called the Jinwei battalion, and even their grade far surpassed the school captain's battalion. The commander of the Jinwei battalion was called Changle Gong Duwei is a fifth-rank military officer of Zheng'er Bajing, and is on the same level as Habayashi Wei Zhonglang.

There are less than [-] people in the Jinwei Battalion. They belong to the inner guards in name, but in fact they are directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor. Even the people in the Jinwei battalion are not all from the inner guards. into the palace.
