Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 604 On the Road

Since Mrs. Jade is here, she has absolutely no reason to let her out.

   First of all, Li Xin hated this woman very much, and it was fine if he didn't catch her, but if she brought her to the door, Li Xin couldn't let her go.

   Besides, Xiao Zheng also saw her.

Xiao Zheng saw her, which meant that Emperor Taikang also saw her. If Li Xin let her go, he could find a reason to cover up after returning to the capital. Emperor Taikang would also give Li Xin this face. , but more or less secretly will hurt the sentiment.

   Unless Li Xin finds a way to kill Xiao Zheng.

Of course, this is also impossible. Li Xin has no starting point to do such a risky thing for this woman. As long as he honestly returns to the capital, he will be blessed with great glory. It makes no sense because Li Shen In a word, to do such a stupid thing.

   After listening to Li Xin's words, Li Shen's whole body suddenly slumped.

   He was silent for a while before slowly opening his mouth: "Li Xin, everything is because I'm sorry for your mother and son, but Ayu didn't do anything heinous, it doesn't matter if I die, but she shouldn't..."

  Li Xinpi glanced at Li Shen without smiling.

   "How does the general know that she didn't do anything heinous?"

Li Shen snorted: "I had someone check on your previous conflicts, but at best she drove you out of the capital because of some woman's heart, and made the people of Jingzhao House embarrass you. But you... nothing happened, and..."

   General Li really has no choice, he is reluctantly reasoning with Li Xin at the moment.

   He is a person who doesn't talk much, but if he still has a few tricks to use, he won't talk to Li Xin here.

   However, his words were ruthlessly interrupted by the Marquis of Jing'an.

   Li Xin's tone was cold.

"You said she didn't do anything evil, then do you know that the time she drove me out of the capital was in the twelfth lunar month of the 17th year of Chengde. It was snowing that day, and I only wore a thin single coat. "

  Li Xin looked up at Li Shen and said lightly, "It was very cold that day."

   Li Shen didn't understand what Li Xin's words meant, he was stunned for a while, and said, "What do you mean?"

"I am dead."

   Lord Jingan looked into Li Shen's eyes and repeated.

   "frozen to death."

   General Li frowned even further, he couldn't understand what Li Xin was saying.

  Li Xin took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and said coldly, "My uncle is also dead!"

"The one who was frozen to death in that ruined temple was my mother who entrusted my uncle to take me to the capital to find you. She still believed that you were not a bad person until she died. She believed that after I went to the capital, I would have a good life. Pass!"

   "She even told me and her uncle to tell us to be more steadfast and not cause you trouble after we went to the capital."

   "As a result, my uncle froze to death in that dilapidated temple outside the capital!"

   "Because of you, because of your jade lady!"

Li Xin couldn't stop sneering: "Since you have investigated that incident, then you should know about my uncle's death. Even so, you still say that she didn't do anything heinous, which means that in your heart, my uncle's death is unforgivable. Your life is not a life, is it?"

   Li Shen had nothing to say, after all, he had an inescapable responsibility for this matter from beginning to end.

   "It's my fault, I wasn't in the capital, I didn't tell Ayu about it..."

   "Yeah, General Li has forgotten, why would he mention this to Mrs. Li?"

Li Xin laughed: "Today, Mrs. Li showed Ben Hou what it means to have a deep relationship between husband and wife. Ben Hou does not have the habit of hitting mandarin ducks. Since she is here, she will join the general to make a pair of mandarin ducks with the same fate and go to Beijing together. stop."

   Having said that, Li Xin put his hands on his back and turned to leave.

   Li Shen looked at Li Xin's back, and after a while, he finally sighed and spoke slowly.

   "Master Li..."

  Li Xin turned his head, looked at the middle-aged man who was somewhat similar to him, and said indifferently, "What's the matter?"

   "Trouble... Come over to find some food. Ayu came alone. For several days... she didn't eat."

   Li Xin groaned and continued to walk away.

   Li Shen continued: "Tonight, it's best to find Zhenzi to rest, Ayu wants to wash her body..."

   Li Xintou didn't look back, and went further and further.

General   Zhu Kingdom lowered his head and sighed, then turned around and returned to his carriage.

   At this time, there seemed to be more white hair on his head.

   After returning to the carriage, Li Shen patted Madam Yu who was huddled in the corner of the carriage, and said softly, "Ayu, how did you... come here?"

  Mrs. Yu reached out and hugged Li Shen, her voice trembling.

   "I woke up that day and couldn't see you, so I asked them to take me to find you, but they refused and kept taking me to the mountains..."

   "Later, I overheard them talking and knew that Jincheng was broken, so I brought some food, sneaked out, and waited for Lord Hou on the official road from Jincheng to Beijing..."

  “…”

   Li Shen patted her shoulder and sighed long.

   "Forget it, you and I can only live and die together."

   The Great General of the Zhu Kingdom bowed his head sadly.

   "I'm the one who got you down."

  …

From the southwest to the capital, it is two or three thousand miles away. The carriage convoys are on their way, and there are also foot soldiers like the Imperial Army. It is impossible to go too fast. Walking slowly on the official road.

Comparatively speaking, Lord Jing'an is not as anxious as Xiao Shaojian. He should eat and sleep along the way. When he has nothing to do, he will teach Xiao Zhao Fang how to be a man. The books he has read are not as many as that of the little prodigy from the Li family in Zhao County.

   As for the piecemeal matters, they were all handed over to Eunuch Xiao, who was attentive.

   In the blink of an eye, it was the end of May in the third year of Taikang.

   In other words, a group of people have been walking on the road for just over a month.

   If you calculate the distance, there will be about half a month before they can return to the capital.

Everyone was very excited. After all, this group of people were either from Yulinwei or the Imperial Army, and most of them were from the vicinity of the capital or the area around Gyeonggi. Even the Neiwei that Xiao Zheng took to the southwest were mostly people near the capital. , will return to the homeland, naturally happy.

  Especially those who followed Li Xin's expedition to the west, had been away from Beijing for more than a year, and everyone naturally missed the capital quite a bit.

   As for the two prisoners in custody, His Royal Highness the abolished prince is still in a stable mood, but his body has lost a lot of weight. Now he can only eat four or five bowls of rice a day, and his appetite has greatly diminished.

   As for the Great General of Zhuguo, he sat in the carriage with Madam Jade along the way and hardly ever came out.

   But as he got closer to the capital, one person became more and more anxious.

   That person is naturally Eunuch Xiao Zheng, the young supervisor of the inner guard.

  The reason why he was in a hurry was because the plump His Royal Highness King Qin was still alive...

   In the past month, His Royal Highness King Qin, either intentionally or unintentionally, escaped many calamities, and has lived peacefully until now. Seeing that he was about to return to the capital, Xiao Zheng became more and more impatient.

   In the past few days, he finally couldn't bear it any longer, and forced the doctor accompanying him to tell him that His Royal Highness Qin was suffering from a deficiency of anger. Then, as a slave of the heavenly family, he began to diligently prepare medicine for His Royal Highness Qin.

  When I stopped to rest every day, the camp was filled with a strong smell of medicinal herbs.

  The Marquis of Jing'an, seeing Xiao Zheng busy every day, shook his head for a while.

  Xiao Zhao Fang stood behind Li Xin, looked at Eunuch Xiao who was pouting his **** and boiled the medicine, and asked Li Xin in a low voice, "Teacher, what is Eunuch Xiao doing?"

  Li Xin rolled his eyes at Xiao Zheng, the old Gao who was pouting, and said angrily.

   "Leave him alone, just let him go."

   "A fat man wouldn't dare to drink what he gave him anyway."

   After saying this, Li Xin turned his head and squatted down, patted Xiao Zhao Fang on the shoulder with a heavy tone.

   "Little guy, we have an estimated 20 days before we arrive in the city."

   "Remember what I told you?"

   Zhao Fang nodded and said solemnly, "Remember."

   "After entering the capital, the disciple is no longer a member of the Li family in Zhao County. As for whether it will still be in the future, it depends on the disciple's ability."

  Li Xin nodded with satisfaction, and said something earnest.

   "Little guy, it's not easy to get along in the capital..."
