In another carriage, the sixth prince who had fainted because of too much stimulation along the way also slowly woke up, and Li Xin was not with him when he woke up, but the doctor in charge of taking care of him immediately notified Li Xin, and Li Xin quickly jumped off his horse and walked into the carriage.

On the face of the sixth prince, a blood wound more than an inch long was cut by the crossbow arrow, and it was not very shallow, although it had slowly begun to heal at this time, it was still quite dazzling, and it would be obvious in the future that it would definitely leave a scar on the face.

After he saw Li Xin, he lowered his head a little timidly and said in a low voice, "Uncle." ”

Li Xin sat down next to him, quietly glanced at the ten-year-old child, and asked, "In addition to the wound on his face, where else is there pain on his body?" ”

The Sixth Prince shook his head.

"Nope."

Li Xin stared at the wound on his face, and then asked, "They're going to kill you?" ”

Coming all the way west from Shaoxing Mansion, the six princes were all protected in the center by the people of the dark department, even if there were stray arrows and crossbow arrows, there were people to block him, which is also the reason why there were so many dead and injured people in the dark department.

But there was still an arrow that almost killed him, which shows that the people of the court intended to shoot him, and may even have received an order from above to shoot him with all their might.

He was the concubine of the first emperor, theoretically speaking, the most noble clan except for the emperor of Yuan Zhao, and no one in the entire court except for the high-ranking monarch was qualified to give the order to shoot him.

Ji Ying smiled bitterly and bowed her head and said, "Yes, the imperial brother wants to kill me." ”

Along the way, he could clearly feel that those crossbow arrows were coming at him, and if it weren't for these people from the southwest who blocked him with their bodies, he would have died long ago.

Li Xin stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said lightly: "In the first year of Yuanzhao, you were driven out of the capital by the Son of Heaven, at that time you came to my Jing'an Hou Mansion, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to me, begging me to save your life, and now I have fulfilled this promise." ”

"Walk further west for more than ten days, you will arrive in Jincheng, when the time comes, I will send you to your aunt, let her raise you, from today onwards, you will live in the southwest, since the court wants to kill you, your brotherhood with the Son of Heaven will be over, and you will have nothing to do with the court in the future."

Not everyone is as precocious as Zhao Yi, he understands everything at a young age, Ji Ying is not even eleven years old this year, and he can't get a full picture of what is happening these days.

In his opinion, he was locked up for more than four years for no reason, and finally someone wanted to save him from the cage, but his brother-in-law sent someone to kill him.

That's all the kids can see, and the deeper things he can't see, and he can't understand.

After hearing Li Xin's words, Ji Ying lowered her head and smiled bitterly: "Uncle, my aunt has liked the imperial brother since she was a child, and she doesn't like me very much......"

When the Son of Taikang was there, because he wanted to deliberately let the prince have a good relationship with the Marquis of Jing'an, the Son of Yuanzhao, who was still the prince at the time, ran to the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion twice in three days, and at the same time, in order to avoid the situation of sibling rivalry, the Son of Taikang deliberately did not let his youngest son have any contact with the Marquis of Jing'an, so that the eldest princess did not see him until the sixth prince was two or three years old.

On the contrary, it is Yuan Zhao Tianzi, who grew up in the Jing'an Hou Mansion almost since he was a child, and is very close to Li Xin's family.

Therefore, in the eyes of the sixth prince, most of the uncles and aunts don't like him very much.

Li Xin shook his head, a smile on his face.

"Your aunt has a good relationship with your father, there is no reason not to like you, I also have a daughter at home, who is slightly older than you, and is your cousin, after you go to my house, you can be her companion."

Ji Ying is still a child after all, and now he has nowhere else to go, so he can only nod and say to Li Xin: "Just listen to my uncle's arrangement." ”

Li Xin nodded and spoke.

"But there is one thing I want to tell you in advance, I heard them say that you are thinking that you want to run out because you were imprisoned in Shanyin, and after you go to Jincheng, you will not be able to leave the house for a while."

Ji Ying let out an "ah" and looked up at Li Xin: "Uncle, you want to lock me up too?" ”

"It's not."

Li Xin shook his head quietly: "If you are in the southwest, someone will want to kill you, if you run around, it will be very dangerous." ”

Li Xin talked to Ji Ying in the carriage, and after telling him to rest well, he left Ji Ying's carriage and walked to the last carriage.

In fact, they have not yet reached the realm of Ankang Mansion, and they may still be attacked by the garrison of Xiangyang, and the reason why they got a few carriages instead of rushing back to Jincheng was because in the third carriage, Shen Gang was lying.

Shen Gang suffered several arrow wounds because of excessive blood loss, and his face was already pale and terrible at this time, and after the doctor who accompanied the army gave him diagnosis and treatment, he prescribed a side medicine after treating the wound, and then said whether he could survive or not was left to fate.

Shen Gang is in this state, naturally he can't ride a horse, he has helped Li Xin do many things in the dark all these years, and he can be regarded as the invisible boss in the Li Xin Group, or the Southwest Group.

Li Xin naturally refused to give up this old friend.

Shen Gang was still unconscious, the doctor who accompanied the army said that he couldn't stand the bumps, not even the carriage, Li Xin was not half old, and after barely entering the boundary of Ankang Mansion, he found a county seat and placed Shen Gang in the city, and then left a few guards and a doctor to watch, and he himself took hundreds of guards and two children, and walked towards Jincheng.

At this time, Li Shuo and Mu Ying took turns to enter Lin Hu every day to learn art, and the other person was responsible for the specific defense of the southwest, and there was no problem in Hanzhong for the time being, so Li Xin took these two children and returned to Jincheng directly.

Ten miles outside Jincheng City, Zhao Jia, who likes to wear white clothes on weekdays, rarely wears a green coat, and waited under the pavilion, after seeing Li Xin, he first bowed his head to Li Xin, and then turned his head to look at his son.

"But what's the danger?"

"There is no danger."

Zhao Yi hurriedly shook his head and said, "Dad, I followed Uncle Shen all the way, what danger can there be, the things in the shadows are faceless, and I can't touch things." ”

The Marquis of Jing'an on the side ruthlessly exposed this kid's lies, he coughed at Zhao Jia, and said with a wry smile: "If I go one step late, most of this kid's life will be gone, I asked him to follow Shen Gang to do things, but I didn't expect him to dare to follow anything, and he didn't have the caution of a big-headed scholar at all." ”

Zhao Jia's face turned dark, and he kicked his son fiercely, then turned his head to look at Li Xin, and said with a wry smile: "The dog has caused chaos for Commander Shen, I heard that Commander Shen was injured?" ”

Li Xin said "um" and nodded: "The injury is not light, at his age, I don't know if he can survive it." ”

Zhao Jia shook his head and sighed: "Commander Shen has been fine for so many years, most likely it was this time that he took Zhao Yi and dragged Commander Shen down." ”

"I can't talk about it."

Li Xin shook his head, then stretched out his hand to another carriage that had never moved, and said, "Brother You'an, do you know which one is sitting in this carriage?" ”

Zhao Jia's eyes wandered, and he said softly: "The first emperor's concubine? ”

Li Xin was noncommittal and smiled.

"Sitting inside is the future Southwest Banner."
