Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 557 Self-knowledge (I fell asleep last night)

   Li Shuo's words were too straightforward, to the point where it was difficult for Li Shen to accept it for a while.

   But what I have to admit is that what he said is a serious fact.

   Now that Ye Ming is blocked from Jiange by Li Yan, Li Xin can still call the shots in Mianzhu by himself. No matter what, the young "Li Family" can have the final say.

   But once Ye Ming and Li Xin join forces, the situation will be very different.

   First of all, Ye Ming is the main general. Needless to say, after joining forces, according to legal principles, all those who marched to the West should obey Ye Ming's dispatch.

   More importantly, the "agreement" reached by Li Xin and Li Shuo was not in line with the court's will.

   In other words, Li Xin could never be discovered by the court when he did this.

   Once Ye Ming arrives in Mianzhu, such a thing that is not in line with the will of the imperial court is absolutely impossible to happen. Even if Li Shen Kaicheng surrenders at that time, the Marquis of Jing'an will not recognize this matter.

   Li Shen, who was lying on the bed, slowly closed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

   After a long time, he spoke, his voice hoarse.

   "You shouldn't have discussed it with me in advance."

   Li Shuo knelt down on the ground and said with tears: "The temper of the eldest father, do you allow me to talk to the eldest father?"

General    Zhuguo was silent for a while, and then he said, "Tell me what you said to Li Xin again."

  Li Shuo wiped away his tears and slowly told Li Shen the conversation he had had with Li Xin in Mianzhu that day. After about a stick of incense, he conveyed the meaning of the Marquis of Jing'an to Li Shen.

   "What Li Xin means is that after Jincheng is broken, I can live 50,000 more people in the Southern Army. He doesn't care where these 50,000 people go?"

  Li Shuo nodded and said, "The Marquis of Jing'an means this. He said that he doesn't care where these 50,000 people love to go."

  Li Shen narrowed his eyes slightly.

   "He can handle it."

   "He was able to take the remnants of Nanshu in Hanzhou for his own use. With his ability, it would not be a problem to take 50,000 more people."

  Li Shuo lowered his eyebrows and said, "Xu is afraid of the imperial court's suspicion."

   "The court is already suspicious of him."

General Zhu Guo sneered: "The two generations of the Li family know the virtues of the Ji family. Back then, when my father just captured Jincheng, he didn't even finish the rest check. The imperial court issued an edict to call my father back to Beijing, Another person will be sent to take over the Pingnan Army!"

   This thing did happen in the first place.

At that time, Li Zhijie, the Marquis of Pingnan, dealt with it very simply. He should be recalled to Beijing, but the general sent by the imperial court to take over the Pingnan Army died on the way, so after Li Zhijie stayed in the capital for more than half a year, he was dispatched again. Back to the southern border.

   At that time, Li Shen, who was still young, was thrown into the capital as a hostage.

"Li Xin's achievements today are no less than that of his father back then. After he returns to Beijing, unless he is honestly his consort, he may still be able to live under the mercy of the emperor of the Ji family, as long as he has the slightest other thoughts, It's hard for the Marquis of Jing'an to end well!"

   "Li Xin is not the kind of person who kneels to survive."

General    Zhuguo coughed, bringing out a trace of scarlet blood.

   In the past ten years, especially in the past two years, he has always been in a tense state. Recently, he has been subjected to successive blows, and his body has been a little unbearable.

   "Until now, I can't say whether you're right or wrong, but if you let that fat pig privately, I won't forgive you easily."

   Li Shen gave Li Shuo a cold look.

   "Go down and get sixty whips."

  Li Shuo joined the Pingnan Army a few years ago. He was considered a soldier of the Pingnan Army. The sixty whips were the military whips of the Pingnan Army. Generally, those who ate these sixty whips were either injured or disabled.

  The whip is a bit hotter, and it is normal to die.

  Li Shuo bowed his head and said with tears: "Father, you can kill me, but the eldest father must make a decision about Jincheng."

   "This is Ben's business."

   Li Shen said indifferently: "Go down and lead the whip."

  Li Shuo wiped his tears with his sleeve and slowly got up.

   "My son...resigned."

   After Li Shuo closed the door, Li Shen, who was half lying on the bed, sat up slowly, staring out the window, not knowing what he was thinking.

  ………………

   The General Zhuguo on this side was in a complicated mood, while the Marquis of Jing'an on the other side was beaming with joy.

  Because of the young master Ye Mao, he brought him a big fat man back.

At most, Li Shuo can only send Ji Kuo out of the city. How to bring Ji Ku back is Li Xin's business. He sent his young master Ye Mao to lead dozens of cavalry, and went to pick him up in person. He approached in the middle of the night. At the time of his son, he finally picked up the waste prince from Jincheng.

  The Marquis of Jing'an greeted him at the gate of Mianzhu City with a smile on his face.

   "His Royal Highness King Qin, long time no see."

   Ji Ku was awarded the title of King of Qin back then, but after he was crowned Prince, no one called him King of Qin anymore.

The name   Li Xin means that he does not recognize his former title of prince.

Speaking of which, Li Xin had met the original eldest prince many times when he was in the capital, but at that time, His Royal Highness's eyes were higher than the top, and he never put the young man next to the seventh in his eyes. That's it.

   The fat prince jumped out of the carriage with a complicated look.

   "This is...Jing'an Hou Li Xin?"

   Li Xin said with a smile: "It's Li Xin who is not right."

   "His Royal Highness King Qin has been kidnapped by traitors for the past two years. He must have suffered countless hardships. He was finally rescued this time, which is really an eye-opener."

   The fat prince sighed slowly in his heart.

   He has dozens of women in Jincheng, and he gave birth to seven or eight children in two years.

  Fortunately, he didn't have too many feelings for those women, so he gave up now, and he didn't feel much discomfort in his heart.

   After all, righteousness is in his heart.

   "Gu is out of the city voluntarily."

   The fat prince bowed his hands to Li Xin, and said solemnly: "Master Jing'an, please tell the old man... Your Majesty said that Gu admits defeat."

   "Gu knew that it was difficult for him to survive, and he didn't expect that he could survive. The reason why he came out of Jincheng was only because, as a child of the Ji family, he could not destroy the foundation of his ancestors."

   "I don't want anything else, I just want to be able to go back to Beijing and see the old family..."

  The Marquis of Jing An nodded with a smile.

   "It's easy to talk."

   "It's very late now. His Royal Highness King Qin will go down to rest for a day or two. After a few days, I will arrange for His Highness to return to Beijing."

   Ji Kui gave Li Xin a complicated look.

   and sighed.

   "I'm sorry to bother the Marquis of Jing'an."

  His Royal Highness, the once mighty Prince, now looks polite and polite under the eaves.

   This shows that this is a fat man who knows current affairs very well.

After Li Xin asked him to take him down to rest, he stretched out his hand and patted Ye Mao on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "This is another big credit to you, when we return to the capital, Master Ye and Senior Brother Ye will have to treat me to a meal. ."

  Ye Mao bent over and clasped his fists, said with a smile, "Nephew can also treat Uncle Master for a meal."

   "You naturally asked for it."

  Jing'an Houye said as he should: "Otherwise, when I return to the capital, I will file a complaint with Master Ye."

  Ye Mao shrank his head and hurriedly went to sleep.

  After Ye Mao left, Zhao Jia, who had been standing behind Li Xin, patted his hand and smiled, "Master Hou, the big deal is over."

   Li Xin smiled and did not speak.

   Zhao Jia went on to say, "The former crown prince is quite self-aware and knows that he won't live long."

   "He still overestimates himself."

   The smile on Li Xin's face subsided, and his face became expressionless.

   "It is impossible for him to return to the capital alive."
