Li Xin turned his head abruptly and stared at the carriage.

This is not the capital, but on the official road about ten miles away from the capital, and it is also the only way for the capital to go to the forbidden army camp.

He quickly calmed down.

Now, he has nothing to fear in the face of Li Shen, on the contrary, it should be Li Shen who is afraid of him.

Marquis Jing'an waved his hand to stop the guards behind him, put his hands in his thick sleeves, and slowly walked towards the carriage.

The carriage was a very ordinary carriage, not even painted, and the horse pulling the carriage was also an old horse, which looked very spiritless.

Sitting in front of the car was a young man in his twenties and thirties, with an ordinary appearance and a very inconspicuous appearance.

Li Xin walked closer, stopped, looked up at the carriage, and after being silent for a long time, he slowly spoke: "Do you really think that I won't kill you?" ”

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Li Shen, who had changed into a cotton suit, walked out of it.

I haven't seen him for several months, and he has lost a lot of weight, but the whole person is still very energetic, and he has a pair of Yan Jing and bright.

"You're an ambitious person and you're decisive."

Li Shen stroked his palm and said, "That day in the cellar, you didn't let people come to me, I knew that you wouldn't do anything to me." ”

Li Xin grinned: "What if I change my mind now?" ”

"The smarter a person is, the more confident he will be and the less likely he will be to waver."

Li Xin's face was calm and he didn't reply.

"How did you escape?"

Li Xin smiled: "It has been two or three months since the last time Yongle Fang was burned, and it took me two or three months to escape from growing up in this capital, isn't it strange?" ”

Strange, of course.

Today's capital, loose on the outside and tight on the inside, on the surface, all the city gates have been opened, and pedestrians are not hindered, but in fact, every city gate has guards and even people from Tianmu Prison watching, as long as there are people who are suspected of Li Shen, the guards will follow them, and then arrest them to confirm their identity.

In the more than a month since the city gate was opened, the guards have privately arrested dozens of people who are similar to Li Xin's stature.

But this Pingnanhou ran out so lightly.

There is even the leisure to run in front of himself and pretend to be forced.

Li Xin looked sideways into the carriage, and then a smile appeared on his face: "What about Mrs. Li?" ”

"I sent her away yesterday."

Compared with the expressionless Li Xin, this Pingnanhou, who is actually "dead", is much more relaxed, and he even has a smile on his face.

"But I still have to stay and deal with some things, and today the matter is settled, and I heard that you are going to leave from here, so I rushed over to meet you."

A mocking smile appeared at the corner of Jing Anhou's mouth.

"Come and thank me for sparing your life."

Li Shen nodded, still calm.

"I have to say, I was surprised that you could find me where I was that day, it was the closest I've come to death in so many years."

"What you said that day also made me angry."

Li Shen smiled: "But then I calmed down, no one in this world can be counted as a last resort, that confrontation was won by you, but you gave me a chance, I haven't lost yet." ”

"So I decided to go back to southern Xinjiang."

Li Xin sneered: "Even if I let you go today, when you return to Southern Xinjiang, it is estimated that few of the Northern Zhou clans you secretly wooed will be able to reach Shu County alive." ”

"I didn't expect them to live."

Pingnanhou smiled and said: "Those of them are left for you to kill, although the Northern Zhou clan has declined over the years, many of them are well-known in Shilin, and if the little emperor kills them, he will be infamous as a tyrant, and then I will be better off in southern Xinjiang." ”

After a pause, he continued: "The reason why I let the people of the Zheng clan in Xingyang enter the capital is so that you and the little emperor can find out about this matter, so as to attack the Northern Zhou clan, otherwise, why would the people of the Zheng family come to the capital to die?" ”

In fact, none of the twenty-seven people in the Zheng family in Xingyang died.

Li Xin looked at this middle-aged man who looked a little like himself in amazement.

"Among those Northern Zhou clans, there are ...... Li clan of Zhao County"

"Nope."

Li Shen's face was calm: "The core figures of the Li clan in Zhao County have already arrived in Shu County a few months ago, and you can't kill them." ”

Li Xin frowned deeply.

"If you tell me this, aren't you afraid that I will tell Your Majesty to save the lives of these Northern Zhou clans?"

"It's better that way."

Li Shen smiled: "What those people said also helped me, it's a pity that they died, it's not bad to survive, anyway, whether they live or die, in the hearts of the world, they will die." ”

What Li Shen meant by this sentence was that regardless of whether the Taikang Emperor had killed the Northern Zhou clan or not, they would spread rumors that the emperor was a tyrant.

This Pingnanhou glanced up at Li Xin and said with a smile: "Besides, with that carefully concocted inscription, it is unlikely that the little emperor will be able to calm down and not kill." ”

"His heart is much worse than his father's."

Li Xin slowly closed his eyes.

He didn't want to let this person go back now.

In the past, the reason why he intended to put Li Shen back in Southern Xinjiang was because he was confident enough to win him and be able to strengthen himself through Southern Xinjiang, but after listening to Li Shen's words, Li Xin suddenly felt that he was not necessarily Li Shen's opponent.

The Marquis of Jing'an looked left and right, and then glanced at the dozen or so guards not far from him.

"Hou Ye Li is so frank and honest, aren't you afraid that I will arrest you back now?"

"You're not going to catch me."

Li Shen's tone was calm: "You are very confident, even to the point of arrogance, you want to climb to a higher place in one fell swoop with the help of Southern Xinjiang, so you won't catch me." ”

Speaking of this, a smile appeared on Li Shen's face.

"Moreover, I have been searched and arrested in the capital for several months, but I have not found it, and you Li Xin found it as soon as you came out, what should that little emperor think of you?"

Li Xin was silent.

"You see, just because your surname is Li, no matter what you do, you will be constrained in doing things in the capital, you need to pay attention to this, pay attention to that."

Li Shen climbed into his carriage as he spoke.

"I came to see you this time, just to tell you, you gave me a chance, I will also give you one, the conditions I said last time in the Pingnan Hou Mansion remain unchanged, if you are willing to help me, come to southern Xinjiang to find me."

"When you get to southern Xinjiang, you don't have to be as restrained as in the capital, and you can even have the final say there."

Li Xin looked at the carriage, and a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Li Shen, are you afraid of me?" ”

"I'm a little scared."

Li Shen's voice came from the carriage.

"You beat me last time, so I'm not sure if I can beat you next time, in comparison, you are much more difficult to deal with than the little emperor sitting on the throne."

Li Shen was silent for a while, and then said: "Actually, what I haven't figured out all the time is that I sent someone to check, you are just a young man who grew up in Yongzhou, and he was ordinary before entering Beijing, how did he suddenly become a deep-thinking Jing'an Hou." ”

Li Xin's face was expressionless.

"Because of a heavy snowfall in Chengde in the seventeenth year, I froze open."

"Get out, let me see you again within a pillar of incense, and I'll leave you here."

Li Shen in the carriage let out a long sigh.

"Zhong Ming, let's go."
