Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 760 Going Home for the New Year

   Time has entered the last month of Taikang's eighth year.

Counting the time, Li Xin has been in Hanzhou City for more than a month. In the past month, apart from discussing matters with Mu Ying, Mu Qing and others, or instructing Shen Gang and others to do things, the most common thing he does is The thing is to stand on the tower of Hanzhou City and use a telescopic mirror to look at the imperial army not far away.

  Occasionally, Mu Ying will be here with him, looking into the distance.

   As winter gradually entered, the cold wind became more and more bitter, so bitter that Li Xin had to put on another big cloak on his body.

   On this day, Li Xin, as usual, was still standing on the wall of Hanzhou City, looking into the distance.

   Mu Ying didn't wear armor, just wore an ordinary cotton robe and stood behind him.

   "Master Hou, what do you watch here every day?"

   "Let's see when Pei Jin will leave."

   As Li Xin spoke, he glanced into the distance with a telescopic mirror.

   Mu Ying smiled and said, "They can no longer surround Hanzhou City. It doesn't matter if they walk or not. Besides, there will naturally be people watching their movements. You don't need to watch here, Lord Hou."

  Li Xin slowly put down the telescopic mirror in his hand and let out a sigh of relief.

   "They're gone."

Mu Ying was shocked, and quickly took out her telescopic mirror from her waist, opened one eye and closed the other, and saw the army in front of the court, packing their tents, some of them had already left and slowly withdrew. near Hanzhou City.

   The black-faced general breathed a sigh of relief.

   "It's time to go."

He looked like he didn't care, but there were tens of thousands of troops staring at the door, and no one would live in peace. In fact, even if Pei Jin's troops suffered a big loss in Hanzhou City last time, but if he was determined to follow Hanzhou City is dying, and Mu Ying's life will definitely not be easy in the future.

   After all, the opponent had more than 100,000 soldiers and horses. That day, the battle of Hanzhou was fully calculated, and more than 30,000 people died. If Pei Jin did everything, he would still be able to use at least 60,000 or 70,000 people.

   In fact, whether it is Li Xin or Mu Ying, these days, they are worried about whether Pei Jin will become angry, come up with blood and rush over, and die with Hanzhou City.

   Fortunately, the general of the forbidden army finally chose rationality, and the class teacher left.

  Li Xin looked at Pei Jin's tent with a telescopic mirror for a while, and then slowly put it down.

   "Pei Jin is gone, I should go too."

After Li Xin said these words, he looked back at Mu Ying, whose face was full of confusion, and said solemnly: "According to Pei Jin's progress, they should all be evacuated within two or three days, and then I should also leave the southwest. already."

   Mu Ying coughed.

   "Master Hou, where are you going?"

   "Still go back to Northern Xinjiang and be your general of Zhenbei?"

  Li Xin shook his head slightly.

   "It has been two or three months since I left Jizhou City. For such a long time, even if Ye Mao helped cover it up, it would be impossible to cover it up. The court should have known that I was not in the north."

   "Besides..."

   Having said that, Li Xin paused and looked at Mu Ying.

   "Besides, such a big thing happened in the southwest, whether it is us or the emperor, it is impossible to assume that nothing happened, so someone must go to the capital to calm this matter down."

   Mu Ying's eyes widened.

   "Master Hou is going back to Beijing?"

Seeing Li Xin nod, he lost his voice: "The imperial court has lost tens of thousands of troops, and they may still be elites in Hanzhong or Jincheng. No matter who is the emperor, he will probably be so angry that he will vomit blood at this time. …”

Having said that, he didn't go on, just smiled bitterly: "In my opinion, Marquis, you should simply go to the north to avoid the limelight, so as not to directly touch the emperor's bad head, even if the emperor wants to do something to you, in Jizhou City , the Ye family will probably be able to keep you..."

   Li Xin looked at Mu Ying quietly.

   "You also know that tens of thousands of people died in Hanzhou."

"It's impossible for anyone to avoid such a big thing. If I don't go to the capital, the court will not recruit you. In the spring of next year, there will even be a forbidden army to attack Hanzhou. At that time, do you think Hanzhou can hold on? Can't stand it?"

   Muying's eyes rolled, but she didn't answer.

Li Xin saw what he was thinking, and sneered: "You don't have the idea of ​​hitting Tianlei, even if there is such a thing, the Imperial Army will not be able to attack the city stupidly again, they have surrounded Hanzhou for a year or two, and even Three or five years, are you dead or not?"

   "The Imperial Army in Gyeonggi is very different from the rabble brought by Pei Jin this time."

  Jing'an Houye's face became serious.

   "If this time, the soldiers led by Pei Jin are not the local army in the southwest, but the forbidden army he brought out by himself, the 100,000 forbidden army, by now they have already stepped down Hanzhou!"

  Seeing Li Xin like this, Mu Ying also restrained his smile and said helplessly: "No matter what, I think it's too dangerous to enter Beijing now."

   "It really won't work, Lord Hou, you should stay in the southwest. With our current strength, plus that...Tianlei, there should be no problem in taking Jincheng. If it's a big deal, let's just go back to the Pingnan Army!"

   said, Mu Ying clenched her fists.

   "As long as we occupy Jincheng, with your heavenly thunder, Lord Hou, even if Pei Jin brings 200,000 people into Shu, I'm sure I can hold it."

The more he talked, he said, "Let's stick to it for two or three years, Li Shuo and the others will come to the door on their own. At that time, Lord Hou, whether you can establish yourself as a king or compete in the world, you won't be subject to their Ji family. Birds are angry!"

   Li Xin glanced at Mu Ying.

   "In the end, you and your father have one mind."

   Li Xin was expressionless.

   "Rebellion does not mean that you can create something. You must first win the support of some forces. Otherwise, erecting a hill out of thin air is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg."

   Having said that, Li Xin took a deep breath.

   "Besides, the Great Jin Dynasty has only been unified for forty years, and the three generations of emperors are not tyrants. Among them, the Chengde emperor is a rare holy emperor. Now the Ji family is watching, rebelling at this time is no different from sending death."

   Mu Ying opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Li Xin's wave.

   "Okay, I have already decided on this matter, no need to say any more."

  Jing'an Marquis put his hands in his sleeves and his face was calm.

   "Brother Mu, it's not that you don't understand my character. I never do anything I'm not sure about. Since I dare to enter the capital, I have the ability to protect myself."

   "As long as you are in the southwest and manage Hanzhou City well, I will have no risk in the capital."

   Mu Ying saw this and knew that she could not persuade Li Xin, so she could only sigh helplessly.

   "Then Hou Ye, you must take care of yourself."

   He had a bitter look on his face: "Actually, we don't want to have to fight with the court, nor do we have to force you to rebel."

   "It's just that you can't do anything. If something happens to you, those of us who follow you will die sooner or later."

   After saying that, he got up and gave Li Xin a deep bow.

   "Master Hou, the lives of 100,000 households in Hanzhou, 50,000 soldiers and the Mu family are all on Master Hou, please take care of Master Hou."

   Hearing Mu Ying's words, Li Xinxin was quite emotional.

At the beginning, Li Xin felt that Li Shen's various actions were unreasonable and unreasonable, but now, like Li Shen, when he carried the lives of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people on his shoulders, he naturally felt in his heart. There's more of a heaviness.

  Thinking of this, Li Xin patted Mu Ying on the shoulder.

   "Don't worry, I'm just going home for the New Year and nothing will happen."

   Lord Jingan smiled slightly.

   "You just stay in the city of Hanzhou to keep the land and the people safe, and wait for the imperial court to give you a promotion."
