Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 519 Mu Family

  Fucheng, a small town, could not hold so many people under Li Xin's department for a long time. Therefore, in the absence of foreign intrusion, Li Xin had to find a way to get out of Fucheng and occupy Mianzhu.

  After occupying Mianzhu, all the defense lines near Jincheng were stripped away. If Jiange came to rescue Mianzhu, Ye Shaobao could easily break through Jiange, and the Pingnan Army, which had been occupying the southwest for more than 30 years, would collapse directly.

  If Li Yan's subordinates were resolute in defending the Jiange, and after Li Xin occupied Mianzhu, there would be no "worries" over the Jiange, and he would be able to break through the Jincheng with the Nanshu survivors under Mu Ying's command.

   But the premise of all this is that Li Xin can take Mianzhu.

  These three Fucheng businessmen were coaxed and frightened by Li Xin and left the county government office in Fucheng as if they had fled.

  Before leaving, this seemingly gentle young man Houye, a simple word, made the three people break out in a cold sweat.

   "Everyone, after leaving Fucheng, this lord will not be able to control you, but your family members are all in Fucheng, and this lord does not want to leave a bad name of killing people with officials, so please don't force me."

   This is an obvious threat to the lives of their three families.

   But the three families had nothing to do. The simple truth was that the knife was in Li Xin’s hand, and Li Xin said what it should be, and no one could remain indifferent in front of the steel knife.

   After saying goodbye to these three people, Li Xin returned to his study in good time.

These three people were not taken seriously by Li Xin, and their weight was not enough for Li Xin to take it to heart. The reason why they spent so much talk was actually just a step of idle chess. It is naturally the best to be able to make merits. If there is no way to make merits, then It doesn't hurt either.

The Marquis of Jing'an has always liked to play this kind of idle chess. From the capital to the southern border, in two or three years, he often left behind this kind of chess pieces that he did not know if they were useful or not. Most of them were useless. But there are also some that will be useful. Anyway, this kind of idle chess is effortless, so why not do it?

   And since the three wicked squires can monopolize the food in Fucheng, they should be very powerful in the Mianzhu area of ​​Fucheng. Maybe they can really help Li Xin find out some news about Mianzhu.

After sitting in the study for a while, Zhao Jia, who was in the military with statistics, returned to the county office. The dog-headed military sergeant pushed open the door of the study and saw Li Xin who was drinking tea leisurely. He rolled his eyes helplessly. He put a thick stack of paper in his hand on Li Xin's desk.

   "Master Hou, the casualties of this attack on Fucheng have been carefully counted. In the past few days, people who were seriously injured have died. Counting the brothers who died in battle, there are more than 3,500 people in total."

   The data he gave to Li Xin earlier was probably in the early 3,000s who died in battle, which means that in the past few days, about 500 people died.

   This is because of Zhu Rongjiu's disinfection, otherwise, few of the more than 1,000 seriously injured people under Li Xin's command would survive.

   Tetanus will kill you in future generations, let alone this age.

   Li Xin was silent for a while, and put down the teacup in his hand with a little disinterest.

"I see."

  After a pause, he continued: "Leave a copy of this list with me, and you are transcribing a copy. When I return to the capital, I will give it to Your Majesty, and I will personally take it and go to the Ministry of Housing to ask for money."

The current power of the Marquis of Jing'an is actually worse than that of the real Six Books, but his status is much better than that of the Six Books. No matter whoever sees him in the capital, he will be given this. The red man in front of the imperial family has a face.

   Of course, this is actually a favor to the emperor.

   Zhao Jia sighed and said, "Master Marquis, there is no precedent for a general to go to the Ministry of Housing with a list of fallen soldiers to ask for money. Just hand over the list to His Majesty. If you do this, others will say you are domineering."

   "Domineering is domineering."

   Li Xin sneered: "I won't watch, few people can get a complete pension, and we can't let people's life-saving money be discounted, right?"

   Zhao Jia did not speak any more.

He knew very well in his heart that the Marquis of Jing'an in front of him was not a stunned young man in the traditional sense. He knew the darkness of the courtroom better than anyone else, and he was relatively tolerant of gray areas, but the Marquis of Jing'an had If his own red line is within the red line, he can't watch others step on it no matter what.

  The dog-headed military sergeant shook his head and sighed: "Forget it, we are now in the enemy's hinterland. Can we go back to the capital or not? It's up to the Hou Ye to do what he likes. I'll just make a copy."

   Li Xin ignored him and locked himself in the study.

To be honest, he doesn't know what to do now. This time his plan to enter the enemy's belly went well, but he lacks a feasible plan to attack Mianzhu. After thinking about it, the most reliable way is actually that one. What the profiteer Li Jie said was poisoning.

To be honest, as the soul of a later generation, Li Xin doesn't mind using any intrigues and tricks. After all, he was taught that a cat of any color is a good cat if it catches mice, but the act of planting poison on food is too much. The success rate is not high, so the Marquis of Jingan wisely gave up this plan.

  While he was frowning in the study, a guard from Yulinwei gently knocked on Li Xin's door and whispered, "Master Hou, someone outside the residence wants to see you."

   "Why does everyone want to see me?"

  Li Xin in the study put down the miscellaneous books in his hand and frowned: "Who, if it's a squire from Fu County, let them get out, I don't have time to see them."

   The guard hesitated for a moment, then lowered his head and said, "Master Hou, he is an old man and calls himself Mu."

   As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the study was pushed open.

  The anxious-looking Marquis of Jing'an pushed open the door without any image and grabbed the front of the guard's shirt.

   "Quick, take me to see him!"

   This personal guard was taken aback, and quickly led Li Xin to the door to meet someone, only to see an old man in his fifties standing at the door, waiting at the door of the mansion.

   Li Xin was overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to the old man.

   "Li Xin has seen Uncle Mu!"

   At this time, there are only two people in the Mu family who are qualified to talk to Li Xin, one is Mu Ying, who leads the army, and the other is Mu Qing, who is still the head of the Mu family.

   "Don't dare to be a great gift from the Marquis..."

   Mu Qing quickly helped Li Xin up.

  Li Xin took advantage of the situation to stand up and said with a smile: "In the letter, Brother Mu was asked to come see me, why didn't Brother Mu come, but Uncle Mu came?"

   "Mu Ying can't leave."

Mu Qing bent over slightly, lowered her eyebrows and said, "According to the Lord Marquis's intention, the old man has already handed over all the troops he received from His Highness to Mu Ying to take care of, he should not go away at this moment, nor can he go away, So the old man came for him."

   Li Xin nodded in satisfaction.

   "Uncle Mu, please."
