Chapter 564: Time is Running Out

People stand at the top all the year round, after experiencing a lot of things, often hone a big heart, that is, the so-called change is not frightened, the chest has a thunderous face such as a flat lake, Mount Tai collapsed in front and the face does not change.

Li Shen, the former general of the Pillar Kingdom, is about such a realm.

From the Zhuguo who was a very popular minister, to the anti-thief that everyone shouts and beats now, Li Shen still looks calm, and it seems that no matter what happens, he can't let his emotions fluctuate too much.

But at this moment, he couldn't help it.

His Royal Highness the fat man is now the biggest reliance in the entire southwest, although he does not have any combat power, and it will be very troublesome to raise, but with him, the southwest will have vitality, and it will be nine deaths and one life instead of ten deaths.

Now, Ji Yu has walked the entire southwest, or the entire Pingnan Army, and he is really dead.

Because this is a young dynasty.

If it is the last years of the dynasty, the current military strength of the Pingnan Army, not to mention the southwest, is enough to compete for the world, but it has only been more than 30 years since the Great Jin Dynasty unified the world.

It was a young and vigorous dynasty.

This dynasty, with the power of the Southwest, cannot be overthrown.

In other words, in the current situation, as long as you don't have the surname Ji, you won't have a chance at all.

Ji Yu is the biggest opportunity to turn the tables in the southwest, this fat prince is the crown prince personally ordained by the first emperor, to this day, there are still many people in the government and the opposition secretly saying that it is when today's son usurps power and occupies Ji Yu's throne.

This is a big, big hole card, and it is also the reason why Li Shen has been able to hold on until now.

Now, that reason has collapsed.

General Zhu Guo looked at the young man in front of him in a daze.

He suddenly remembered what Li Xin said.

"The general is going back to Jincheng from here, it should be dark, right?"

"The general has a good trip......

He figured it out.

This Pingnanhou, who has been in the limelight for decades, suddenly couldn't do anything for a while, he only felt that it was dark in front of him, and the whole person fell backwards.

He fainted.

In fact, he has been under too much pressure for more than two years.

When Mianzhu broke the city, Li Shen began to cough up blood, and now Ji Yu is lost, and the string in his heart is broken.

So it collapsed all at once.

By the time the general of the Pillar Kingdom slowly opened his eyes, it was already early in the morning.

He struggled to open his eyes, barely seeing that this was in General Pingnan's mansion.

Li Shuo, dressed in black, knelt in front of the bed, not daring to move.

Yes, only Li Shuo is here alone.

When the doctor came to diagnose the patient, he only said that he was angry and attacked, so he fainted, because the Li family's mother, Mrs. Yu, was not in a good mental state, so they simply carried Li Shen into this quiet room to rest without notifying Mrs. Yu.

In this process, Li Shuo followed Li Shen throughout the whole process and did not leave a single step.

General Zhu Guo took several deep breaths, and only then did he barely regain a little strength in his body, and he opened his eyes, his voice a little hoarse.

"You ......"

He only said one word, and because his throat was dry, there was no way to continue.

However, this was enough to attract Li Shuo's attention, and he immediately got up from the ground and served Li Shen to drink a bowl of hot water.

This time, Li Shen finally slowly eased up.

He didn't rush to speak, but looked at Li Shuo quietly.

Li Shuo lowered his head and trembled slightly.

I don't know how long it took for Li Shen to speak, and his tone had calmed down slightly.

"Where did you send Ji Yu?"

Li Shuo honestly lowered his head.

"It's been sent to Mianzhu."

A mocking smile appeared on Li Shen's face, and he laughed at himself: "So, Li Xin asked you to do this?" ”

"No wonder he asked me to meet, no wonder this happened so coincidentally."

"What a Li Changan."

Although Li Shuo was very scared, he still shook his head, gritted his teeth and said, "Father, it wasn't Jing'anhou who asked me to do this, I went to Mianzhu myself and negotiated this matter with Jing'anhou." ”

"Mianzhu has been broken, and it is a matter of time before Jincheng is broken."

Li Shuo said sadly: "My son was born in Jincheng and grew up in the Pingnan Army, I really can't bear to see the Pao Ze brothers die in vain." ”

He is Li Shen's son, which both father and son know very well in their hearts, but this is the first time he has called himself a son in front of Li Shen.

Li Shen reluctantly sat up from the bed and glanced coldly at his little son.

"So you sold Jincheng?"

"What benefits did Li Changan Xu give you? Let you also be a Hou Ye? ”

Li Shuo wept and said: "Father, if you want to find a future for yourself, you should go to Mianzhu with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at this time, instead of kneeling in front of the eldest father and leading it to death." ”

"At the beginning, when you and your father wanted to raise the flag to rebel, I opposed it, and I went to see you and my father more than once. But neither you nor your father are indifferent. ”

"I have thought of many ways, I want to keep the southwest, keep Jincheng, and keep this place where I was born and raised."

The young man burst into tears.

"But after Mianzhu broke the city, everything became a luxury."

"I went to see Jing'anhou, I asked him if he could stop here, and asked him if he could come to Jincheng and do things for our Li family."

Speaking of this, Li Shuo raised his head and glanced at Li Shen, who was pale.

"Jing'anhou told me that he said that it was not that he wanted to fight, but that the court wanted to fight, and this matter was irreparable."

Li Shen said angrily: "If it wasn't for him Li Xin to push it, how would my Li family get to this point!" ”

Li Shuo lowered his head and said: "I have also thought about this, if there is no Jing'an Hou, our Li family will only be a little later to this point." ”

"My son has negotiated terms with Jing'anhou."

Li Shuo wiped his tears, bowed his head and said: "As long as Jincheng pretends to fight with the imperial court a few times, and then Kaicheng surrenders, then Jing'an Hou will write an extra forty or fifty thousand casualties, and then the Pingnan army can have at least forty or fifty thousand people to get out of this catastrophe." ”

"Because we surrendered on our own initiative, the imperial court is the king after all, and they will not be too embarrassed to calm the families of the soldiers of the Southern Army."

"In this way, even if the imperial court will liquidate the Pingnan Army in the future, forty or fifty thousand people have been preserved before."

The young man dressed in black bowed his head and said, "No matter what, this ending is much better than them following the eldest father and following the father and dying on the battlefield in vain. ”

"Father, you are already dead in the accounts of the imperial court, and they will not admit that you are still the Marquis of Pingnan in the imperial court, so that you can easily get out, and the imperial court will not embarrass you again at least on the surface."

"As for my father, I will take him to the mountain you mentioned, so that he can live a good life."

Speaking of this, Li Shuo gritted his teeth and said: "If I tell my eldest father like this in advance, my eldest father will definitely not agree, and as a last resort, I can only be sent out of the city by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first, and the eldest father's thoughts will be broken......"

Li Shen was half-lying on the bed, listening to Li Shuo's words with his eyes closed.

Then he opened his eyes and spoke in an indifferent tone.

"How do you know that Li Xin will keep his promise?"

Hearing this, Li Shuo's eyes turned red and wiped his tears.

"Father, why can't you figure it out......"

"We have no choice."

He gritted his teeth: "At this time, we can only believe him, even if he doesn't keep his promise, we can only accept our fate." ”

"Father, time is running out."

Li Shuo lowered his head and wept.

"Now, Jing'anhou still has the right to make decisions in his hands, if the Sword Pavilion breaks the city, and Ye Ming and Jing'anhou join forces, then even if Jing'anhou wants to keep his promise, I'm afraid he will be powerless!"
