Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 743 I recognize you even with your face covered!

   In the second half of the eighth year of Taikang, in just a few months, the wind and clouds in the world first stirred in the north, and then the southwest became the center of the whirlpool.

   In the final analysis, the cause of these two vortexes is because of the aloof Taikang emperor.

After Li Xin received the letter from the Southwest, he only delayed for half a day, and rushed to the Southwest day and night, because they were all riding horses and the speed was still slow. There were one or two hundred of them, and most of them were from the military. The bow and crossbow are not afraid of bandits, bandits and bandits, so they choose the shortest way to go. After seven or eight days, they have already traveled two thousand miles.

   In other words, they have already walked more than half of the way.

At night, Li Xin and the others did not dare to enter the city to rest, fearing that the court would stop them along the road, but it was obvious that Ye Mao's side had done a good job. Until now, there is still nothing on the court's side. The obvious reaction was that he didn't realize that Li Xin had left Northern Xinjiang.

   Most of them were from the Imperial Army or Yulinwei. Setting up a tent is a basic skill. At night, they will find a suitable terrain to build a tent, try not to go into the city much, and send people into the city to buy food on weekdays.

   Li Xin hadn't rested for several days. After the tent was set up, he got into his tent and fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.

   In the middle of the night, Shen Gang, who was sent by Li Xin to his hometown in Yongzhou, came back from Yongzhou.

   After being woken up by someone, Li Xin forced himself to be tired, rubbed his aching eyes, and said slowly, "Is it done?"

"done."

  Shen Gang lowered his head and said, "Everyone in Yongzhou has already left for the southwest, but there are more than 200 of them, so I'm afraid it won't be easy to enter Hanzhou."

Li Xin was expressionless, and said solemnly: "Then see if Mu Ying has the spare energy to take us into the city, he should have received my letter by now, and when we enter the southwest, we will have to rely on Han. Only the state army can enter Hanzhou City."

At this time, most of Hanzhou City had been surrounded by the army of the imperial court. Li Xin did not know how many people the imperial court had used to attack Hanzhou this time, but he did know how many imperial troops there were in the southwest. Most of Kang Tianzi's character will be used.

  Shen Gang looked at Li Xin, whose eyes were bloodshot, and sighed slightly: "Master Hou, go to sleep for a while, we have to travel tomorrow."

In the past seven or eight days, because there is basically not much time to rest, and he is worried about the relationship between Hanzhou City, the Marquis of Jing'an has become very haggard. Not only is his face a little yellow, but his hair is scattered. At this time, his eyes are bloodshot, and he looks quite haggard. Somewhat scary.

Li Xin closed his eyes, the pain in his eyes eased a little, he lowered his head and said, "It's okay, when I climbed the Motianling Mountains in the southwest before, it was much harder than this time. small issue."

When Li Xin marched to the southwest, he led 40,000 soldiers and horses to cross the Motianling. Not only did he have to overcome the steep terrain, but he could not make a fire to cook. Li Xin lost more than ten kilograms in weight and suffered a lot.

   At this time, he rushed to the southwest day and night, much more comfortable than before.

  Shen Gang sighed and said nothing more.

  Because of the cold weather, a group of people sat around a bonfire, each mouth spit out white air, the Lord of Jingan sat in the middle, rubbed his hands, and began to arrange for Shen Gang and others to do various things.

  …

After 13 days of long-distance travel, Li Xin and others finally entered the Southwest Territory, because there was a war in the Southwest. After entering the Southwest Territory, they no longer took the official road, but picked up some small roads and slowly moved towards Hanzhou City. On the 16th day, they were only forty or fifty miles away from the Hanzhou Prefecture.

   At this distance, every move would easily attract the attention of the imperial court troops. To be on the safe side, Li Xin only brought about a dozen people including Shen Gang and Wang Tao.

   After Li Xin and others approached Hanzhou, the first thing they did was not to find a way to enter the city, but to find a mountain near Hanzhou and use a telescope to watch the current situation of Hanzhou City.

Li Xin raised the telescopic mirror and looked towards Hanzhou City. At first glance, Hanzhou City was quiet, there seemed to be nothing unusual, and no one was attacking the city, but Li Xin quickly noticed the terrifying one scene.

   That is the city wall of Hanju Castle...

   is red!

At this time, the scarlet blood on the city wall has not faded. Obviously, there has been a big battle in Hanzhou City in the past few days, but the army of the imperial court failed to bite down Hanzhou City and temporarily retreated, only then did Hanzhou appear at this time. The city was quiet.

  Li Xin slowly put down the telephoto mirror in his hand, his face expressionless.

   After being silent for a long time, he took out a black scarf from his arms and put it over his face.

   "Let's go, let's go to the agreed place."

   Lord Jingan covered his face, so he couldn't see the expression on his face, but judging from his eyes, it was obvious that he was in a very bad mood.

  Wang Tao and the others didn't dare to ask any more questions, they could only bow down and say yes.

Previously, in a letter to Mu Ying, Li Xin had agreed to pick up Li Xin and others into the city twenty miles west of Hanzhou City on November 19th, which was November 18th in the eighth year of Taikang. , which means that Li Xin arrived a day early.

After they descended the mountain, they mounted their horses and circled to the west of the city. Along the way, they could see some imperial troops one after another. However, these troops were garrisoned in the southwest. The discipline was not very strict. Went around to the west of the city and found a cave to rest on the hill in the west of the city.

In the early morning of the next day, before dawn, they climbed up early. Li Xin rubbed his face with his hands to wake himself up a little, then turned on his horse and put on the black towel again. Said: "Let's go!"

   "The armored people are covered with armor, and the Hanzhou army is out of the city to pick up people. It is impossible for the people in the court to watch, and they will probably fight in a while. Everyone pay attention to protecting their lives, and try to enter Hanzhou City alive!"

   After finishing speaking, Li Xin bowed his head and clasped his fists at these brothers.

   "Li Xin is an official in the dynasty, my brothers should have followed me to enjoy happiness, but in the past few years, Li Xin has put everyone in danger time and time again, I'm really sorry for everyone."

   He bowed his head slightly and took a deep breath.

   "Brothers, don't worry, as long as everyone enters Hanzhou safely, Li Xin will surely let everyone return to the capital safely!"

  Wang Tao, Shen Gang and others bowed deeply to Li Xin.

   "Your Majesty is very polite."

   "Although we are in danger, Lord Hou is always with us. Lord Hou is not afraid of death, and we rough people are not afraid of death."

  Li Xin didn't say anything more, just shook the reins and shouted: "Brothers, go!"

   A dozen men echoed in unison, followed behind Li Xin, and galloped away in the direction of Hanzhou City.

   Every decent city has a Shili Pavilion outside the city. As a place to see each other, the same is true for Hanzhou City. The place Li Xin and Mu Ying agreed on is the Shili Pavilion in the west of Hanzhou City.

   But this place was already occupied by the southwest garrison. As soon as Li Xin and the others came in, some infantrymen in simple armor ran over and shouted at them.

"what for!"

   "The imperial court is quelling the rebellion here, the idlers leave quickly, or the sword has no eyes, and you will all die here!"

  Some people shouted like this, and some people saw the horses of Li Xin and others were handsome and wanted to rush up to **** the horses of Li Xin and others.

  The Marquis of Jing An sat on the back of a horse, turning a blind eye to the words of these foot soldiers, just quietly looking at the direction of Hanzhou.

   Seeing that these people did not agree with them, this group of foot soldiers were immediately furious, and they were about to rush up with their weapons, arresting all the ten or so people and questioning them.

   As soon as they acted, they suddenly heard a thunderous voice from Hanzhou City!

   There was a sound of horseshoes, and there was also the sound of shouting and killing.

  Li Xin and others drew their weapons one after another, not to kill the enemy, but to protect themselves.

During the    melee, a black-faced general rode on a jujube red horse and was killed from the chaos. He rushed all the way to Li Xin's side, looked up and saw the black scarf on Li Xin's face, and laughed.

   "Li Changan, I won't recognize you if you cover your face?"

  Li Xin sat on the Moqi horse with a calm expression on his face.

   "Don't talk nonsense, how can there be any Li Changan here?"

   He pointed to the black scarf on his face and reminded Mu Ying.

   "I'm covering my face."
