To be honest, Li Xin himself is reluctant to turn his face with the emperor, firstly, he is indeed a little affectionate, and Li Xin is also willing to live in peace, and secondly, because he is too tired to go against the emperor.

Just like the Pingnan Hou Mansion, after more than 30 years of hard work, it can only be a struggle.

But not wanting to go against the emperor does not mean waiting for death, this is like a weapon of mass destruction in later generations, you can do without it, but you can't do without.

After the three of them drank wine, Mu Qing rushed back directly, after all, even with the background of the Mu family, it would take time to completely accept these 50,000 people.

As for Mu Ying, he stayed for the time being, because Li Xin had other things to explain to him.

After Mu Qing walked away, Li Xin pulled Mu Ying to the backyard.

At this time, this Jing'an Hou's face was crimson because he had drunk a lot of wine, but his eyes were extremely sober, he pulled Mu Ying to sit down in the pavilion in the courtyard, and then lowered his eyebrows and said: "Brother Mu, I asked you to bring Yu Linwei and a person from the Duwei battalion over, do you remember?" ”

There are 400 people in a Duwei battalion, and the 400 people brought over by Mu Ying are all Li Xin's descendants in Yulinwei, which can be regarded as Li Xin's own team.

The so-called own team is that Li Xin told them that he would change the palace again, and they would not hesitate to follow Li Xin to attack the palace city.

Mu Ying nodded and said: "Remember, these are the people from our Yulin Weiyou Battalion at the beginning, and the Hou Ye also specially instructed me to choose some people who are not married to bring them over, saying that the battlefield is dangerous, and there is no burden if there is no family." ”

"So out of these 400 people, about 200 people have no family at all."

The predecessor of Yulinwei is the "Yulin orphans", these people may have been orphans of soldiers whose parents died, although now, Yulinwei is not all rent orphans, but it is not difficult to find some who have no family.

Speaking of this, Mu Ying scratched her head and said with a smile: "I haven't figured it out at the time, according to reason, the danger of the battlefield is even more important to bring some people who have married and had children, so as not to cut off the incense at home, but Hou Ye just let these hairy children come out ......"

Mu Ying was halfway through her words, and suddenly stopped.

He stared blankly at Li Xin.

Li Xin said indifferently: "Yes, I want these people to join the rebel army, and you will take it with you, Brother Mu." ”

"They don't have family bonds, they can rest assured that they can do things with them, and in the future, these people will become Brother Mu, your team in this rebel army, and if you use it well, you can fully control this rebel army."

"When I return to Beijing, I will report to the imperial court that these people are all dead."

Mu Ying was stunned for a moment, then pointed at herself with a wry smile.

"Master Hou, it was so easy for me to get acquainted in the capital, and I became the general of Yulin Weilang, you won't let me also "die in battle", right? ”

Li Xin glanced at Mu Ying, and then said in a low voice: "Brother Mu has an official position, it is indeed a pity to die in battle, I will report to the imperial court, and say that you are seriously injured and recuperating in your hometown of Bashu, when the situation in the southwest is stable, and you will recover again, and you can return to Beijing to be an official when the time comes." ”

Mu Ying glanced at Li Xin cautiously, and then whispered: "Master Hou, I can understand that you sent Yulin Wei into the rebel army, after all, this thing is very important, but I don't have to go over, there are still hundreds of people in the main vein of our Mu family, counting thousands of branches, with my old father here, they will also lead this rebel army no matter what." ”

"But they're not you Mu Ying."

Jing Anhou's tone was a little cold.

"I can trust you and Uncle Mu, but I can't trust your thousands of Mu family."

"Everyone has selfish intentions, tens of thousands of troops are in front of them, anyone will be red-eyed, and they will want to take it for themselves, if you and I are in the capital in the future, these tens of thousands of people are out of control, and then it will be a big trouble."

Li Xin glanced at Mu Ying lightly.

"As far as I know, Uncle Mu is not only Brother Mu, but you are also a son."

In this era, as long as there are conditions, there must be as many births as there are, take Mu Qing as an example, the head of the Mu family is quite modest, but he also has five sons and four daughters, and Mu Qing is the eldest son.

The young lady of the Mu family, Mu Xin, is the youngest daughter.

In addition to these two, the Mu family also has four sons, the youngest of whom is only twelve years old this year.

Li Xin has learned about these things in advance, he can trust Mu Ying, but he can't trust these Mu family members who have never met, if this righteous army gets out of control in the future, not only will it not help Li Xin, but it will even bring him trouble.

This is a double-edged sword, and if you want to not get hurt, you have to hold the hilt firmly.

Mu Ying was thoughtful.

Li Xin continued: "I can allow the Mu family to completely call the shots for Uncle Mu, but after Uncle Mu, it must be you Mu Ying, and I don't recognize the other Mu families." ”

"When the Mu family takes over this rebel army, the Mu family will inevitably enter the middle and upper echelons of this rebel army, I don't want to pay attention to these people, but the backbone of the Mu family must be settled."

"I didn't say these words directly in front of Uncle Mu, but Brother Mu, you must understand that you brought these two hundred people into this rebel army to lay a foundation for the future."

Li Xin said word by word.

"This is the lifeblood of you and me, as well as the Marquis of Jing'an and the Mu family in the future, there can be no loss at all, I believe in Brother Mu, I hope Brother Mu can also believe in me."

Mu Ying immediately became serious.

He bowed deeply to Li Xin.

"Don't worry, Master Hou, Mu Ying has written it down."

"In the next few days, I will take those two hundred Lin Wei's people back to Hanzhou Mansion."

Li Xin took a deep breath and patted Mu Ying's shoulder.

"Brother Mu, don't think I'm too careful, don't think I'm too troublesome, this kind of thing is too involved, I have to be cautious, what I said today, if the time is right, you can tell Uncle Mu directly, he understands it, and he won't be angry,"

Mu Ying nodded and said, "I understand. ”

At this time, Mu Ying's alcohol was completely gone.

He slowly withdrew from Li Xin's courtyard.

After Mu Ying left, Li Xin sat alone under the pavilion, stunned.

The current situation in the southwest is uncertain, and he doesn't know what Ye Ming will do with Li Shen below, but no matter how these two people will fight and how they fight, he still has to do what he should do.

His current behavior is actually a bit similar to Li Zhijie back then, but Li Xin doesn't want to be the next Li Zhijie or the next Li Shen.

What he is doing now is just to buy an insurance policy for himself, or for the Jing'an Hou Mansion and related forces, which means that when there is really no way in the future, he has the opportunity to choose to become Li Zhijie.

After all, this is not the history he is familiar with, and Li Xin can only take one step at a time by himself.

At this time, it was night, after Mu Ying left, the moon had slowly climbed up, Li Xin sat in his yard and watched the moon for a while, and was about to go back to the house to sleep, when a black-clothed feather forest guard suddenly trotted all the way and ran into his yard.

This person bowed down and clenched his fists in front of Li Xin.

"Master Hou, the general sent someone over there, saying that there is an urgent matter, please come over."

Senior Brother Ye ...... What do you want me to do at this time?

Li Xin looked up at the sky, feeling a little strange in his heart.

At this point, it's almost midnight.

But you still have to go.

Li Xin sighed and slowly stood up.

"You go and reply, just say I'll go over right away."
