In fact, there is not much room for Li Xing to choose, he and Li Shen both understand that the remnants of Nanshu and the Pingnan Army are tied together, and it is unlikely that they will be the opponents of the Great Jin Dynasty in terms of hard power, so from the beginning, Li Xing did not think about choosing, he just wanted to delay and delay until the situation in the southwest was relatively clear, and then bet.

But it's a pity that the remnants of Nanshu, who have 100,000 households, are still too conspicuous, whether it is Li Shen or the Great Jin court, they all take a fancy to him and are forcing him to stand in line.

From the perspective of family and country feelings, it is impossible for these Nanshu remnants to cooperate with the Great Jin Dynasty in any case, after all, everyone has the hatred of losing the country, but from the perspective of practical interests, Li Xing has no way to stand with the Pingnan Army.

It is for this reason that Li Shen has an attitude similar to pleading with the remnants of Nanshu, while Li Xin is extremely tough in the face of Li Xing.

His Royal Highness Nanshu was silent for a while, and finally looked up at Mu Ying, and said slowly: "Brother Mu, you are also from Nanshu, when Jincheng broke the city, many people died in the Mu family, and now you are helping the Great Jin Dynasty to do things, why are you so aggressive?" ”

Mu Ying, whose face was dark, glanced at Li Shen, who was sitting firmly on the side, and finally sneered: "Your Highness, you can let yourself forget that story, but the Mu family has not forgotten, it was the Pingnan Hou Mansion that broke the Jincheng at the beginning, and at that time it was my grandfather who desperately protected the Jincheng that His Royal Highness King Min escaped, and now the Pingnan Hou of the Pingnan Hou Mansion is sitting in front of us, and His Royal Highness wants to point the deer as a horse?" ”

"Yes, my Mu family is doing things for the imperial court now, but everyone is just trying to survive, if His Royal Highness can bring us, the remnants of Nanshu, to restore the country, Mu Ying immediately resigned from the position of Yu Linwei to help His Highness restore the country, does His Highness dare to say this?"

Li Xing was silent.

With his current ability, it is unlikely that he can maintain the status quo, let alone help Nanshu restore the country.

Mu Ying continued: "The situation in front of us, if His Highness can't return to the country, our 100,000 Shu people are all uncertain about their future, since His Highness can't take us to find a way to live, we can't drag our Mu family to die, right?" ”

Li Xing's face was ugly, because what Mu Ying said was really true.

No matter how much he argued, he couldn't deny that it was Li Zhijie's Pingnan Army who broke Jincheng at the beginning, and now he really has no way to find a way out for these 100,000 Nanshu remnants, Mu Ying's every word made him speechless.

And so it is.

After a long time, he said abruptly: "Brother Mu, the Mu family's kindness to his father at the beginning, Li Xing always remembers, you go home first, and I will give Brother Mu an answer tomorrow." ”

Mu Ying nodded, and arched her hand at Li Xing: "Your Highness, Mu Ying has always been a Shu person, and she has offended a lot today." ”

Speaking of this, Mu Ying glanced at Li Shen, and then a sneer appeared on her face.

"General Zhu Guo, my marquis has a good temper, but Mu Ying has a bad temper, he will repay the evil things you did in southern Xinjiang one by one every day."

"Wait."

Li Shen sat on the chair and did not move.

"Little brother, you're too young."

"Back then, the old thing, which is right or wrong, Benhou is too lazy to say anything to you, what are you going to do in southern Xinjiang, even if you come, Benhou is waiting for you."

Mu Ying sneered again and again.

"General, I hope that when you come to Japan, you will still have the wisdom pearl you have today."

After that, Mu Ying turned around and left, leaving Li Shen and Li Xing still sitting in this room.

After Mu Ying walked away, Pingnanhou quietly took a sip of the hot tea in his hand and looked at Li Xing with a smile.

"Your Highness, you see, Li Xin's popularity is narrow, and he does things by any means, which can be seen from Mu Ying, if His Highness does things with Li Xin, it is tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger."

Li Xing shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"The general doesn't understand my current plight."

"Now that the entire Mu family has completely fallen to the Great Jin Dynasty, and the Mu family is not much weaker than Li Xing among the 100,000 Shu people, they have already stood in line, even if I have my heart towards the general, I am a little powerless."

Li Shen smiled, got up from the chair, and arched his hand at Li Xing.

"Your Highness, Nanshu and the Great Jin Dynasty are enemies of life and death, this has never changed in the past thirty years, even if you are willing to surrender to the Great Jin Dynasty and are willing to endure the hatred of the year, the Great Jin Dynasty may not be able to tolerate you, when they cross the river and tear down the bridge, I am afraid that only Your Highness, you can survive."

"Whether there is any interest or not, Your Highness will decide for yourself."

Speaking of which, Li Shen also left.

Outside the courtyard, a pure black carriage had been waiting outside for a long time, and a young man in green clothes had been waiting near the carriage for a long time.

After seeing Li Shen coming over, the young man bowed his head respectfully: "Father." ”

This young man is Li Shen's son Li Shuo who was fostered under Li Yan's name, and during this time, Li Shen often took him with him, wanting to train him to be the future successor of the Pingnan Army.

However, some time ago, Li Shen also severely punished him for his private meeting with Li Xin.

At this time, Li Shuo had already resumed his title of Li Shen's father.

Li Shen stepped into the carriage with an expressionless face, and Li Shuo followed him and walked up.

"Father, how's it going?"

"It's bad."

Li Shen told the truth and said indifferently: "These remnants of the old Nanshu were installed by Li Xin in advance, and now it is difficult to move them anymore, so they can basically give up." ”

The people who Li Shen said about installing them refer to those people from the Mu family, these people were Li Xin who started operating two years ago, and now they have finally played a key role in the impact of the situation in southern Xinjiang.

Thinking of this, Li Shen took a deep breath, looked back at Li Xing's mansion silently, and muttered to himself.

"I hope you can help no one, so I can save a lot of effort."

Now it is useless to win over Li Xing, because it is basically impossible for these Shu people to help the Pingnan army, so Li Shen can only hope that Li Xing can not help each other, so that the Pingnan army can still be more comfortable.

After saying this, Li Shen looked back at his youngest son, who was only sixteen years old.

"You've seen Li Xin."

Li Shuo gritted his teeth and said: "Yes, Jing'an Hou is in Yongzhou, in fact, his son once visited him. ”

Li Shen glanced at Li Shuo and continued to ask.

"What do you think of him?"

Li Shuo closed his eyes and recalled the scene of his meeting with Li Xin, and finally he slowly opened his eyes.

"Smart, wise and confident."

Speaking of this, Li Shuo paused, and then continued.

"And, he's not a bad guy."
