Chapter 40: Good Thief!
Willow Square is also a big square in the north of the city, next to Yongle Fang, so it didn't take long for the group to arrive at Willow Square.
The most obvious thing in the willow shop is the big willow tree that is said to be thousands of years old, this big willow tree is enough for five or six people to hug each other, but because it is too old, many places on the body have died, and half of the places have been scorched by lightning.
Once trees and the like get old, they often attract thunder, and it seems that the heavens do not want to see things that live long.
However, in the spring of the eighth year of Taikang, this old tree, which has suffered a lot, still sprouted, and its green branches swayed in the spring breeze.
Li Xin and the others walked near this old tree, and they couldn't help but look up at the green crown of this big tree, and the Marquis of Jing'an smiled and said: "For thousands of years, there are many romantic characters who have come and gone in this city, but in the end, it was this big willow tree that had the last laugh. ”
Xie Dai is also a child of a scholarly family, so he naturally has some thoughts of being a scholar, and when he heard that he was behind Li Xin, he said: "Master Hou, what you said is not right, like this big willow tree, if you can't move, even if you live for another thousand years, you may not be considered a winner." ”
The Marquis of Jing'an smiled.
"Xie Lang said that this is not right, this big willow tree has stood for thousands of years, and I don't know how many roots there are underground, maybe it has been densely covered with willow trees, and it can't move on the surface, but it is very different in secret."
Xie Dai nodded thoughtfully, and followed behind Li Xin without speaking again.
The group continued to walk forward, and it didn't take long to arrive at the gate of an inconspicuous courtyard, Li Xin stretched out his hand and pointed to the door of this courtyard, and said with a smile: "Xie Lang is going to call the door?" ”
Xie Dai bowed down and stepped forward and knocked on the gate of this courtyard.
It didn't take long for a small guy to open the courtyard door, and when he looked up, he saw a group of black-clothed and black-armored men, who were only seventeen or eighteen years old, and trembling all over, and said tremblingly: "Ladies and gentlemen, may I ask you ......?"
At this time, Li Xin separated from Yu Linwei and the others, walked in front of this little guy, and said with a smile: "This little brother, let's look for Li Xing." ”
This little guy was swaying all over, and said in a trembling voice: "This military master, we are here...... But no one called Li Xing......"
Since His Royal Highness the old Nanshu dared to come to the capital, it was reasonable to change his name and surname, Li Xin no longer paid attention to this little guy and walked in.
"Whether there is Li Xing or not, you don't count what you said."
More than a dozen Yu Linwei followed behind Li Xin, and broke in very rudely, Li Xin walked in the front, and soon arrived in the courtyard, he said loudly to the inner room: "Your Highness, since you have arrived in the capital, you will not know the old people, otherwise Li will invite His Royal Highness to Qinhuai Fang to be chic and chic." ”
Silence.
No one answered Li Xin.
The Marquis of Jing'an frowned slightly, and was about to forcibly enter and search, when the door inside slowly opened, and a middle-aged man wearing a lilac dress pushed open the door and walked out.
It was His Royal Highness Li Xing, who was in Hanzhou Mansion and "invited" Li Xin to talk.
Now that the two of them haven't seen each other for five years, this highness, who is close to forty years old, has obviously aged a lot, his hair is meticulously combed, and even has a lot of gray.
After looking up at Li Xin and Yu Linwei behind Li Xin, His Royal Highness looked calm and said, "Marquis Li came uninvited and trespassed into the mansion, which is inevitably a little ...... Not very polite, right? ”
The Marquis of Jing'an squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness went to the capital, but he didn't inform me, is it rude?" ”
Li Xing took a deep breath.
"Master Li, I'm ...... You can't afford to offend the person who was invited into the capital and invited me, so you still don't want to be nice to me. ”
"You quit now, I just assume that this incident has not happened, and everyone is at peace."
The Marquis of Jing'an faced Li Xing, with his back to Yu Linwei behind him, with a slightly hideous smile on his face.
"If you don't come to the capital, you and I can get along with each other."
As he spoke, he snorted and said in a deep voice: "Left and right, take down this old Nanshu thief with me!" ”
Xie Dai only hesitated for a moment, and then immediately responded, more than a dozen Yu Linwei rushed forward, Li Xing's face changed greatly, and he turned around and was about to flee, but these Yu Linwei are all perennial training, and Li Xing, a pampered nobleman, can be compared, he only struggled for a while, and then he was captured by Xie Dai and others, tied a strong one with a cowhide rope, and put it in front of Li Xin.
Xie Dai respectfully hugged his fists at Li Xin and said, "Master Hou, the anti-thief has already gotten it!" ”
Li Xin nodded, walked to Li Xing, who was tied up and knelt on the ground, squatted down, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, don't you mention politeness now?" ”
Li Xing has the most important appearance in his life, and he also has a lot of cleanliness, but at this time he was tied to the ground and trapped, describing himself as embarrassed, and when he heard this, he gritted his teeth viciously and glared at Li Xin.
"Li Changan, I have already said that I was invited to the capital, you!"
Li Xin narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "How am I?" ”
"Don't do stupid things, no one will be able to save face in the future!"
Obviously, this His Royal Highness of Nanshu was invited by the Son of Taikang to enter the capital.
At that time, the Son of Heaven asked Li Xin about the situation of Hanzhou Mansion, and Li Xin said to the Son of Heaven that the 50,000 soldiers and horses of Hanzhou Mansion were led by Mu Ying on the surface, but behind the scenes, it was actually His Royal Highness of the old Nanshu who was in charge.
This lie is not complete, in fact, as long as the Son of Heaven sends someone to Hanzhou Mansion to take a look, it is not difficult to see who is talking about Hanzhou Mansion.
Now that five years have passed, it is obvious that the original lie can no longer be concealed from the Son of Heaven, otherwise it would be impossible for His Royal Highness of Nanshu to be "invited" to the capital.
But Li Xin didn't care about it.
For him, the Hanzhou Army is one of the foundations of his life, and no matter who touches the Hanzhou Army, he will not be able to give in.
There's no way, it's a lifeline.
Thinking of this, Li Xin was murderous, he squatted down, lowered his voice, and said coldly in Li Xin's ear: "Your Highness, now in the capital, no one else knows that you have been invited into the capital. ”
Li Xing noticed what this Marquis Li wanted to do, his face changed greatly, and he immediately shouted: "Li Xin, you dare!" ”
"I'm Bong ......"
Before he said the word "edict", the Marquis of Jing'an had already kicked him hard and kicked him in the mouth, Li Xin had practiced boxing for nearly ten years, and now he was strong and heavy with every punch and kick, not to mention his power kick, Li Xing immediately looked up to the sky and fell backwards, lost a few teeth, curled up on the ground, and kept vomiting blood.
The Marquis of Jing'an leaned down and said coldly in Li Xing's ear: "Your Highness, if you stay in Hanzhou Mansion in a proper manner, with Mu Qing's old ministers of Nanshu, you will at least have no problem surviving, but you can't see the situation clearly, you are not greedy enough, and you ran to the capital." ”
Li Xing, who was speechless in pain, looked at Li Xin with wide eyes, his eyes full of horror.
Marquis Jing'an did not hesitate to pull out the sword pheasant in his waist, and the cold light on the tip of the sword shone brightly.
He shouted.
"Okay, you Nanshu thief, you actually want to enter Beijing to assassinate the Son of Heaven, how can I spare you!"
The pheasant sword responded and stabbed down fiercely.
