Mianzhu is not too far from Yongzhou, but there is still a distance, even if it is a fast horse, it will take nearly five days to arrive.

At this point in time, what Li Xin should do is to stay in Mianzhu, and then set out to receive Jincheng, and then eat this great credit into his stomach step by step, and digest it slowly, instead of leaving Mianzhu at this critical time.

But Li Xin's purpose in coming to the southwest was not to make meritorious contributions, he was just to force Li Shen to bow his head and force Li Shen to make amends to his mother.

Everyone will regard promotion and wealth as a top priority, but Li Xin will not, at least the current Li Xin will not, if he stays in Mianzhu now, it will really put the cart before the horse.

Li Shen stood in place and glanced at Li Xin quietly.

"What if I don't go?"

The Marquis of Jing'an sat on the horse and raised his head slightly.

"If you don't go, I may not be able to remember what Li Shuo said to me."

This sentence was very lethal to Li Shen, and the reason why he made up his mind to surrender was because Li Xin promised them that they could save a large part of the Pingnan Army, but this initiative was always in Li Xin's hands, and whether Li Xin was willing to do so or not was in his thoughts.

Li Shen's face was expressionless.

After a while, he slowly spoke: "You are not in Mianzhu, who is in charge of Mianzhu here?" ”

Li Xin's face was calm.

"Go to Yongzhou here, a trip back and forth for a maximum of ten days, ten days, the Sword Pavilion will not be lost no matter what, these ten days your people in Jincheng have sent swords, armor, bows and crossbows one after another, ten days later, you and I rushed back, I will start the siege."

"After five days of siege, you will open the city and surrender, and then I will have an excuse to report that many of your Pingnan army have died."

"During the time I left, Zhao Jia was in charge in Mianzhu City, and I explained to him in advance, so nothing would go wrong."

General Zhu Guo took a deep breath, walked over to the other horse, and did not turn over on the horse, but glanced at Li Xin.

"You trust others so much?"

Li Xin smiled.

"General, people live in this world, of course, they have to be smarter and can't be deceived, but sometimes they have to believe in some people, standing too high, no one can believe it, then nothing can be done."

Li Shen bowed his head slightly.

"I'll go and explain to my subordinates, you wait for me for a while."

A moment later, the two riders galloped across the streets of Mianzhucheng, breaking through the silence of the night.

Soon after the two horsemen walked by, forty or fifty black-armored knights followed, following them.

Today's Li Xin's identity is not the same as in the past, he is unlikely to go out alone to do things like before, his identity is here, and someone must protect him.

Two men rode with forty or fifty horses, and went out of the city in the starry night.

On the city tower, Zhao Jia, who was still dressed in white, and Ye Mao, who was in armor, looked at these people from a distance.

The white-clothed county magistrate smiled.

"I used to hear about the old things of the Hou Ye, and even I, an outsider, felt resentful in my heart, but now that a few years have passed, our Hou Ye has finally got what he wanted."

Ye Mao shook his head slightly.

"I've also heard about Uncle Li's affairs, but at this juncture, he shouldn't go out of the city, but should stay in Mianzhu to preside over the overall situation."

"The little grandfather still doesn't understand the Hou master."

Zhao Jia lowered his eyebrows and said: "Master Hou, the value of a matter is very different from ours, for him, what he is doing now is far more important than Mianzhu's things." ”

"Little grandfather, before the Hou Ye left, he ordered the master to take charge of Mianzhu."

Ye Mao nodded and said, "Everything is up to Mr." ”

"Starting from dawn tomorrow, Mianzhu will be on strict guard, and it is very likely that the people of Jincheng will take the opportunity of sending swords, armor, bows and crossbows to plot against Mianzhu."

"Don't be cautious, once you find something wrong, immediately retreat to Mianzhu, stick to the city, and no longer have any communication with Jincheng."

Ye Mao nodded.

"Sir, don't worry, Ye Mao understands."

……………………

For five or six days, Li Xin and Li Shen were both in a hurry, and there was almost no communication between them.

By the morning of the sixth day, Qiyang County was already far away.

The two of them walked for another while, and the Marquis of Jing'an stopped his horse and glanced at Qishan, who had already raised his eyes.

He spoke slowly.

"In front of you is Qishan."

Li Shen nodded and said, "I have been here before, and when I was recuperating in Qiyang County, I once went up the mountain with your mother to play. ”

Li Xin's face was expressionless.

"She's buried in the mountains right now."

Li Shen slowly closed his eyes.

"You can take me up."

Li Xin sneered, shook the reins, and the jujube red horse under his command neighed and galloped towards Qishan.

Originally, Li Xin's mount was the ink horse, but when he walked the Yinping Ancient Road, it was impossible for the horse to pass, so Li Xin left it with Di Dao, and now he can ride the horse, which is the trophy he got from Cheng Ping.

The two horsemen galloped quickly in the direction of Qishan, and forty or fifty black-armored feather forest guards followed closely behind them, bringing up a puff of dust.

Finally, almost an hour later, Li Xin and Li Shen arrived at the foot of Qishan Mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, there is a staircase paved with bluestone artificially, and the stone slab looks very new, and it looks like something that has only been made in the past two years.

Yes, there was no bluestone road here, because Li Xin's mother, the second-grade lady was buried on it, so such a road was built here.

This road had not been completed when Li Xin left, and now it can go directly to the grave of Li Xin's mother.

The Marquis of Jing'an took the lead in dismounting, then looked up at Li Shen and shouted, "Get off the horse!" ”

Since General Zhu Guo became an adult, no one dared to talk to him like this, but now that he was yelled at by Li Xin, he was surprisingly calm in his heart, and he didn't talk much, but calmly dismounted.

The two of them walked up the bluestone stairs slowly, one after the other.

The stairs were very long, and the two of them walked for about half an hour before they came to a flat land, on which there was a tomb built in strict accordance with the regulations of the second grade of the imperial court.

Local officials, in order to flatter Li Xin, also built a small temple next to the tomb, and the temple enshrined a portrait of Li Xin's mother, known locally as Qishan Niangniang.

Next to the mound, there is also a small wooden house, and on the door of the wooden house, there are still a few pieces of animal skins.

Li Xin knew that Uncle Lin had moved here.

In the summer of the first year of Taikang, before he left Qiyang, he asked Uncle Lin to help take care of his mother's tomb, and most likely Uncle Lin, who was born in Orion, simply moved next to his mother's grave.

Li Xin took a deep breath and stepped forward and knocked on the door of the cabin.

Soon, the door opened.

Lin Orion was sharpening his arrows at this time, and when he saw Li Xin coming, his face was full of surprise at first, and then he reacted and bowed his head to Li Xin.

"Master Hou, why are you back......

Li Xin smiled and said, "Bring an old man over to visit my mother, how is Uncle Lin doing in the past two years?" ”

"It's the same as before, but it's a lot better."

Lin Orion grinned and said, "How is Huzi doing in the capital?" ”

"It's good."

Li Xin lowered his eyebrows and said: "He is now in Yulin Weili, he is already a team, and he is doing very well." ”

In fact, Lin Hu is now in Mianzhu, but the southwest is quite dangerous, and Li Xin did not tell the truth.

Lin Lihu exchanged a few polite words with Li Xin, and then saw that not far behind Li Xin, there was a person who looked at the huge tombstone in a daze.

Lin Lihu scratched his head and asked Li Xin, "Master Hou, who is this?" ”

Li Xin also turned his head, glanced at Li Shen, and then became expressionless.

"He's a bad guy."
