Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 745 Lord Li, are you rebelling?

   Not to mention that the current Pingnan Army is deeply hidden in the mountains of the southwest and the border of Tubo, and there is nowhere to find them. Even if Li Xin can find them, it is unknown whether these people will still be able to fight in five years.

More importantly, the Pingnan Army was beaten and maimed by Li Xin himself from its heyday. The Marquis of Pingnan and Li Shen and his wife both died in the capital. Although it was not Li Xin who killed himself, it was indeed because of him. Now Li Shuo is right. His attitude is still unknown.

   Therefore, even if there were difficulties on the southwest side, Li Xin never had the idea of ​​seeking help from the Pingnan Army.

   He has to rely on his own strength to solve the problems in the southwest.

To tell the truth, the Jingan Houfu was originally among the major generals in the capital, and its foundation was relatively shallow. The Qianniu guards in the capital have half a Yulin guard.

As for Li Xin, although he had been in the Yulin Guard and the Imperial Guard, he did not pay attention to fighting the Imperial Guard or the Imperial Guard in order to avoid suspicion. Five years ago, he had the opportunity to take the Pingnan Army in Jincheng for his own use. Finally, he let go of Li Shuo.

   In the past five years, after listening to Ye Sheng's words, he was basically in a very honest state. He handed over most of his power on the bright side, and he didn't even keep anyone on Yu Linwei's side.

Now that the southwest is besieged by the imperial court's army of 100,000, Li Xin has not much power to use. Counting the generals of the Jing'an Hou's mansion and the manpower he has buried in the dark all these years, there are less than 1,000 people together. , this number can't decide anything in the war of more than 10,000 people.

   Li Xin was riding a horse and talking to Mu Ying. He looked up and saw that Mu's house was in front of him. Before he got off the horse, he saw an old man with gray beard waiting for him at the door of Mu's house.

   is Mu Qing, the former head of the Mu family.

  Li Xin hurriedly dismounted, took off the black scarf on his face, and cupped his fists at Mu Qing: "Uncle Mu, is he still in good health these past few years?"

Mu Ying went out early in the morning to "pick up" Li Xin into the city. As a father, Mu Qing was not at ease, so he waited at the door in person. At this time, seeing Li Xin himself arriving, he was stunned for a while, and then said with a smile: "Master Hou Came here in person."

   "Have to come."

   Li Xin sighed.

   "If I don't come, the city of Hanzhou will be destroyed at most in half a year. At that time, not to mention that Uncle Mu and Brother Mu will have an accident, even myself, I will be in a dilemma in the court."

   Li Xin smiled at Mu Qing.

   "To help Mu's family is to help yourself. This little nephew is clear."

   Mu Qing stepped aside and invited Li Xin to the house, and asked, "Does the Marquis have a plan to retreat from the enemy?"

   "I have some ideas, but how to do it will be done after careful discussion with Brother Mu."

When they were talking, their group had already entered Mu's house. Mu Qing brought Li Xin and Mu Ying to the main hall of Mu's house. After serving tea, he screened the servants back. Mu Qing was an elder, sitting on the main seat, he respected After drinking a cup of tea, Li Xin sighed slowly.

"Five years ago, Lord Hou said that we, the remnants of Nanshu, will have an upright Jin status in the future. Those of us who have suffered for more than 30 years, we are naturally happy to hear such words, so even if everyone They are already farmers in the fields and hunters in the mountains, all still picked up hoes and hunting forks, and managed to put together 50,000 people to advance and retreat together with Lord Hou."

After   , Mu Qing took a deep look at Li Xin.

   "Who knows, in just five years, the identity of the Great Jin is not easy to use. The emperor of the Ji family still looks at us and does not hesitate to send more than 100,000 soldiers and horses to get rid of me."

   When I mention this, it is indeed not a child of today.

When the expedition to the west five years ago, it was not particularly smooth. At that time, Li Xin acted as a middleman, and let the emperor Taikang reach an agreement with these Nanshu survivors. The land belongs to the remnants of Nanshu for self-governance, and at the same time, these remnants of Nanshu are given the identity of the people of the Great Jin Dynasty, and no longer mention the old affairs of the motherland.

   That was three years of Taikang, and it has only been five years now, and the court has turned his face and refused to admit it.

  Li Xin sat next to Mu Qing and sighed deeply: "Uncle Mu is his own person, so I won't hide what I say."

He bowed his head and took a sip of tea, then smiled bitterly: "The emperor today may not be as open-minded as his father, but he wouldn't be so narrow. It's impossible to say what he said five years ago. If you don't recognize it, you won't recognize it. The army suddenly surrounded Hanzhou City, largely not because the Nanshu Kingdom had been destroyed for 40 years."

   Having said that, Li Xin pointed to his nose and said solemnly, "It's because of me."

   "The Mu family, or the Hanzhou army, got too close to the minister of the imperial court, to the point where the emperor was uneasy, so that today's incident happened."

   "To be fair, it was Li Xin who dragged down the city of Hanzhou, otherwise the imperial court might have taken precautions against the city of Hanzhou, but it would never have resorted to such rash swords."

   Mu Qing and his son looked at each other.

   Finally, the sixtieth old man looked up at Li Xin.

"The twists and turns in the Dajin court, we outsiders can't see clearly, since Li Houye came to Hanzhou City in person today, then the Mu family and Houye have already died together, and Mu Ying is your brother. He is not easy to speak some words, and I, the old man, speak for him."

   Li Xin looked solemn.

   "Uncle Mu said it straight."

   Mu Qing lowered his head and sipped his tea, then looked up at Li Xin again.

   "Master Li, what are you going to do next?"

   This old man looked solemn.

"I have learned a lot about what you have done over the years. Mu Ying was also in the capital when he won the heirloom. He told me a lot of things. The Taikang emperor of Dajin today can do it. Said it was you who held the throne of God in one hand."

   "After he became emperor, his throne was unstable. It was you who controlled the Imperial Army and helped him secure his position."

   "Five years ago, you even swept away the Pingnan Army that had occupied the southwest for 30 years."

   "But now, he's just unabashedly attacking you."

   "Even me, an outsider, feels cold for you at this time."

   Having said that, Mu Qing looked straight at Li Xin.

   "Master Li, what are you going to do next? Do you continue to be their servants to the Ji family, or do you start a new business and start a career yourself?"

   Mu Qing's words sounded like a long paragraph, but it was summed up in one sentence.

   Lord Li, are you rebelling?

   This question, Li Xin himself has considered, so he answered quickly.

   He took a deep breath and said, "Uncle Mu, my family is still in the capital."

   "Your wife is the princess of the Ji family. As for the children, they also have the blood of the Ji family. If you turn against the Ji family, you simply don't want it."

   Mu Qing's voice was heavy.

   "Anyway, Lord Hou, you are only in your twenties. It doesn't matter how many children you want to have."

Being able to say these words does not mean how bad Mu Qing is, or how unscrupulous he is, but the values ​​of each era are different. In this era, in the eyes of a native Mu Qing, that is How can a man be without a wife, and those who make a big deal are informal.

   So in his eyes, these things are important, but it is not impossible to give up. In fact, many big figures in history have this kind of thinking.

  Li Xin shook his head slowly.

   "Let's put my wife and children aside, even if I am willing to rebel at this time, we can't be the opponents of the court."
