Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 780 Where to go?

  The long New Year's Eve is finally over.

Early the next morning, that is, the first day of the new year in the ninth year of Taikang, Neiwei and Qianniuwei, who had surrounded Jing'an Hou's mansion for half a month, finally got an order to withdraw from Jing'an Hou's mansion. The prisoner was withdrawn, but Xie Jing, the general of the Qianniu Guard, still brought something to Jing'an Hou's mansion to pay tribute, which was considered to be a compliment to Li Xin.

   But Li Xin didn't see him.

   At this time, the wind and waves on the surface have calmed down, but the waves in the dark part of the capital are actually more turbulent. Li Xin is in the center of the whirlpool and has to be careful every step of the way, so he doesn't have time to deal with the sophistication in the capital now.

   Besides, to say something rude, although Xie Jing is the emperor's wife and brother, and a son of an aristocratic family, at this time, regardless of his status or status, he can't reach the level of Li Xin.

However, on the first day of the new year, the first afternoon of the "unblocking" of the Marquis of Jing'an, a middle-aged man in a white robe stood at the entrance of the Marquis of Jing'an and watched for a while, then sighed slightly, shook his head and walked towards The main entrance of Jing'an Hou's mansion.

   At the main entrance, the concierge of the Hou Mansion did not lift his head, but opened his mouth to drive people away.

   "The Hou Mansion is closed to thank you. Your honored guests, please come back another day."

   The scholar in white smiled slightly: "Do you even have to rush me?"

   The doorman looked up and said in surprise: "It turned out to be Duke Zhao... The county magistrate is here, and the little one will report to Lord Hou."

   The person here is naturally Zhao Jia, the current magistrate of Liyang.

   He grew up in Ye Family since he was a child, but after following Li Xin, their family moved to the Jing'an Hou Mansion and lived there for several years. The concierge of the Hou Mansion naturally recognized him.

Counting the time, it has been half a year since he left Jing'an Houfu to be the county magistrate. During this half year, he has lived in Liyang County Yali. He heard that Li Xin was returning to Beijing a few days ago, and he wanted to go to the city. Gathered with Li Xin, but then Jing'an Hou's mansion was surrounded. Zhao Jia realized that something was wrong and kept following the movements of Jing'an Hou's mansion.

   Today, Qianniu Guard and Nei Guard, who had blocked the Hou residence for half a month, were all withdrawn, but Zhao Jia, who was cautious by nature, still waited for a long time until the afternoon before coming to visit.

Following the notification from the concierge, Zhao Jia successfully entered Jing'an Hou's mansion. In the backyard, he saw Li Houye in blue clothes, holding a azure sword in his hand. He was dancing the sword in the backyard. Under the wave of the letter, the body of the sword was bent, and it appeared to be full of strength, shining under the winter sun.

   Zhao Jia walked over and patted his palms in admiration: "Master Hou's kung fu is much more refined than in previous years."

  Li Xin heard the words, put the somewhat heavy green pheasant sword back into its sheath, and gave Zhao Jia a blank look.

   "You are a scholar, how can you understand martial arts, and flattery is not like this."

   Zhao Jia sat down under the pavilion and smiled: "You can tell by looking at the momentum."

Li Xin wiped the sweat from his forehead, and naturally sat down opposite Zhao Jia, wiping his sweat and saying, "Why did you come to me? At this time, a smart person like you should know how to avoid suspicion. It is."

   "If I can avoid suspicion, I will naturally avoid suspicion."

Zhao Jia pointed at his nose with a wry smile: "But I've lived in the Hou's mansion for many years, so how can I avoid any suspicion? The Hou's mansion couldn't come in a few days ago, but I can come in today, so I'll come and ask the Hou Ye, What the **** happened."

  Li Xin didn't answer this question directly, he asked with a smile: "Brother You An, how has the county magistrate done for half a year?"

   "Alright."

   Zhao Jia sighed: "Anyway, in Liyang, it takes less effort and less tiredness than in the capital."

Liyang is a county under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Prefecture, not far from the capital. Many magistrates of these counties under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Prefecture are resident in the capital, but only Zhao Jia, the magistrate, has never returned to Beijing once after going to Liyang for half a year. .

As he said that, he looked at Li Xin and said helplessly: "Master Hou, you should tell me directly what happened, otherwise one day I was staying well in Liyang, and suddenly my head fell and I don't know why. "

  Li Xin blinked at him and said with a smile: "Where can Brother You'an think so exaggeratedly, you and I are gentlemen friends, even if something happens to me, the court will not involve you in your head."

   Zhao Jia snorted.

   "I'm afraid that by then, I won't even have a place to bury my bones!"

At this time, the servants of Hou Mansion had already brought the tea, and Li Xin poured a cup of hot tea for Zhao Jia. Seeing his serious face, he stopped joking with him, and said while drinking tea, "It's not a big deal. The thing is that Mu Ying raised the flag to rebel and returned to the country in the southwest."

   Zhao Jia was drinking tea, and when he heard the words, he spit out the hot tea. The county magistrate stared at Li Xin with wide eyes, dumbfounded.

   "Master Hou, you... what did you say?"

   Li Xin gave this guy a blank look.

   "I said that Mu Ying raised the flag to rebel."

   Zhao Jia worked hard to accept the news for a long time before digesting the news. After a long time, he looked left and right, and after seeing no one around, he looked at Li Xin faintly.

   "What's the difference between Mu Ying's rebellion and Hou Ye's rebellion..."

   "The difference is huge."

  Li Xin's face was calm.

   "Mu Ying rebelled for Cheng Han back then, not for me. Moreover, he was able to restore the country and become a Han. Even if he succeeded, he would be taken to a corner of the southwest. It's not a big deal."

   Zhao Jia said with a wry smile, "If I were Lord Hou, I would have run as far as I can. Lord Hou, you still have the heart to practice swords and drink tea here, which is really admirable."

   "I can go if I can."

   Li Xin put the teacup in his hand on the table, and said lightly, "It's boring to do things with this kind of emperor."

   Zhao Jia bent down, poured a cup of tea for Li Xin, and asked, "How do you say this?"

Li Xin's face was calm, and he told Zhao Jia what happened in the southwest during this period of time and what happened after he returned to Beijing. The county magistrate Zhao looked complicated after hearing this. He looked at Li Xin for a long time. sighed.

   "I thought it would take ten or twenty years before the quarrel between the Marquis and His Majesty would become like this, but I didn't expect it to become like this in just a few years."

   Lord Jingan frowned slightly.

   In fact, he didn't understand this matter. According to reason, the relationship between him and the emperor was not bad, and there was no reason to rebel. The emperor didn't make sense at this time, so he could not help but attack him.

   The emperor is so anxious now, as if he was deliberately forcing him to turn against the court.

   Seeing Li Xin's expression, Zhao Jia took a sip of tea and asked, "Master Hou, what are you going to do next?"

"what can I do?"

   Li Xin rolled his eyes at Zhao Jia.

   "The guards at my door seem to be withdrawn now, but the surveillance in the dark will only be stricter than before. I don't know how many eyes are looking at me, what else can I do?"

   Having said that, he looked at Zhao Jia and patted the latter on the shoulder.

   "Brother You An, you came in through this door, and you were already being watched. Maybe now you are in Liyang's house, and there are people from Tianmu prison everywhere."

   Zhao Jia's expression was stagnant, and he slowly exhaled,

   "Sooner or later..."

   He looked at Li Xin and asked again, "How can Lord Hou protect himself?"

   As soon as the Jing'an Marquis Mansion collapsed, someone like him who was labelled as the Jing'an Marquis Mansion would surely disappear. When he asked Li Xin this sentence, he was actually asking about his own life.

  Li Xin put down the teacup, his face calm.

   "Brother You'an, you can rest assured that as long as the status quo is maintained in the southwest, the emperor will cast his arms against the rat and dare not do anything to me."

   Zhao Jia nodded, was silent for a while, and asked, "Master Hou wants to be Duke Ye?"

   Li Xin frowned, then shook his head slowly.

   "I can't stand still for thirty or forty years."
