Li Shuo's words were too straightforward, so straightforward that it was difficult for Li Shen to accept it for a while.

But I have to admit that he is talking about the truth.

Now that Ye Ming is blocked by Li Yan from the Sword Pavilion, Li Xin alone can still call the shots in Mianzhu, no matter what, the young "Li family" can have the final say.

But once Ye Ming and Li Xin joined forces, the situation was very different.

First of all, Ye Ming is the main general, needless to say, after the army is combined, according to the law, all the people who conquer the Western Army should obey Ye Ming's dispatch.

More importantly, the "agreement" reached between Li Xin and Li Shuo was not in line with the will of the imperial court.

In other words, Li Xin would never be discovered by the imperial court if he did this.

Once Ye Ming arrived in Mianzhu, this kind of thing that was not in line with the will of the imperial court would never happen, and at that time, even if Li Shen opened the city and surrendered, the Marquis of Jing'an would not admit this matter.

Li Shen, who was lying on the bed, slowly closed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

It was a long time before he spoke, his voice hoarse.

"You shouldn't have consulted me beforehand."

Li Shuo knelt on the ground and wept and said, "The temperament of the eldest father, can I open my mouth to discuss with the eldest father?" ”

General Zhu Guo was silent for a while, and then said, "You tell me what you said to Li Xin again." ”

Li Shuo wiped his tears and slowly told Li Shen about the conversation he had with Li Xin in Mianzhu that day, and after about a pillar of incense, he roughly conveyed the meaning of Jing'anhou that day to Li Shen.

"What Li Xin means is that after Jincheng is broken, our army can live an additional 50,000 people, and he doesn't care where these 50,000 people go?"

Li Shuo nodded and said, "Jing'an Hou said this, he said that these 50,000 people like to go where they go, he doesn't care." ”

Li Shen narrowed his eyes slightly.

"He can take care of it."

"He can take those remnants of Nanshu in Hanzhou for his own use, and with his ability, it will not be a problem to take another 50,000 people."

Li Shuo lowered his eyebrows and said, "Xu is afraid of the suspicion of the imperial court." ”

"The court is already suspicious of him."

General Zhu Guo sneered: "The virtue of the Ji family, our two generations of the Li family are very clear, when my father just conquered Jincheng, he didn't even finish the rest and inventory, and the imperial court issued an edict to call my father back to Beijing, and he had to send someone else to take over the army!" ”

This incident did happen at the beginning.

At that time, Hou Li Zhijie's way of dealing with it was very simple, he should be recalled to Beijing, but the general sent by the imperial court to take over the army died on the way, so Li Zhijie was sent back to southern Xinjiang after staying in the capital for more than half a year.

It was also at that time that Li Shen, who was still young, was thrown hostage in the capital.

"Li Xin's current achievements are no less than his father back then, unless he returns to Beijing to be his colt honestly, he may be able to live under the benevolence of the son of heaven of the Ji family, as long as he has the slightest other thought, it will be difficult for the Marquis of Jing'an to have a good end!"

"Li Xin is not the kind of person who survives on his knees."

General Zhu Guo coughed, bringing out a trace of scarlet blood.

In the past ten years, especially in the past two years, his spirit has been in a tense state, and he has been hit one after another recently, and his body has been a little unable to bear it.

"Until now, I can't say whether you are right or wrong, but if you let that fat pig go privately, I can't spare you easily."

Li Shen glanced at Li Shuo coldly.

"Go down and get sixty lashes."

Li Shuo joined the army a few years ago, and he is considered a soldier of the army, and the sixty whips are the whips of the army.

It is normal for the whip to be a little hotter and die.

Li Shuo lowered his head and wept and said, "Father, you can kill me, but in the matter of Jincheng, Father must make a decision." ”

"It's Ben's thing."

Li Shen said indifferently: "Go down and get the whip." ”

Li Shuo wiped his tears with his sleeve and slowly got up.

"Son... Quit. ”

After Li Shuo closed the door, Li Shen, who was originally half-lying on the bed, slowly sat up, his eyes staring out of the window faintly, not knowing what he was thinking.

………………………………

The general of the Zhu State on this side was in a complicated mood, while the Marquis of Jing'an on the other side was smiling.

Because of the little grandfather Ye Mao, he brought him a big fat man back.

Li Shuo can only send Ji Yu out of the city at most, how to bring Ji Yu back, it is Li Xin's business, he sent the little grandfather Ye Mao to lead dozens of horses, personally to pick up, and when it was close to Zishi in the middle of the night, he finally picked up the waste prince from Jincheng.

The Marquis of Jing'an personally greeted him at the gate of Mianzhu City, smiling.

"His Royal Highness King Qin, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Ji Yu was named the king of Qin that year, but after he was crowned the crown prince, no one called him the king of Qin anymore.

The title Li Xin means that he does not recognize his former crown princeship.

Speaking of which, when he was in the capital to win the throne, Li Xin had seen the original prince many times, but at that time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had his eyes above the top, and he never put the young man around the seventh man in his eyes.

The fat prince jumped out of the carriage with a complicated expression.

"This is ...... Jing'an Hou Li Xin? ”

Li Xin said with a smile: "No, it's Li Xin." ”

"His Royal Highness King Qin has been captive by traitors for the past two years, and he must have endured countless sufferings, and now he has finally been rescued, which is really an eye-opener."

His Royal Highness the chubby Crown Prince sighed slowly in his heart.

He has dozens of women in Jincheng, and he gave birth to seven or eight children in two years, which is indeed an endless suffering.

Fortunately, he didn't have much affection for those women, and he didn't feel too uncomfortable at this time.

After all, righteousness is in his heart.

"Lone left the city of his own free will."

The fat prince arched his hand at Li Xin, and said in a deep voice: "Marquis of Jing'an, please tell the old man... His Majesty said that he had admitted defeat. ”

"Lone knew that it was difficult for him to live, and he didn't expect that he could live, the reason why he came out of Jincheng was only because he was a child of the Ji family and couldn't corrupt the ancestral foundation."

"I don't want anything else, I just want to be able to go back to Beijing and see the old ...... of my former family"

The Marquis of Jing'an nodded with a smile.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say."

"It's getting late now, His Royal Highness King Qin will go down to rest for a day or two, and after a few days, I will arrange for His Highness to return to Beijing."

Ji Yu glanced at Li Xin with a complicated expression.

Then he sighed.

"I'm tired of Jing Anhou."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was once invincible, is now under the eaves, and he actually looks polite.

It shows that this is a fat man who is very knowledgeable about current affairs.

After Li Xin asked him to take him down to rest, he reached out and patted Ye Mao's shoulder, and said with a smile: "This is another great credit for you, when I return to the capital, Master Ye and Senior Brother Ye will have to invite me to a meal." ”

Ye Mao bent over and clenched his fists, and said with a smile: "My nephew can also invite my uncle to eat." ”

"You're naturally going to be invited."

The Marquis of Jing'an said as a matter of course: "Otherwise, when I return to the capital, I will sue Master Ye." ”

Ye Mao shrank his head and hurriedly went to sleep.

After Ye Mao left, Zhao Jia, who had been standing behind Li Xin, stroked his palms and smiled: "Master Hou, it's a big deal." ”

Li Xin smiled and did not speak.

Zhao Jia continued: "His Royal Highness the former crown prince is very self-aware and knows that he won't live long. ”

"He's still overestimating himself."

The smile on Li Xin's face converged and became expressionless.

"There's no way he'll make it back to the capital alive."
