Chapter 140: Midnight Supper

Although Li Xin has not come back for more than two months, this very small courtyard is still clean, and it should be Cui Jiuniang who has someone to come and clean it.

Or Zhong Xiaoxiao often comes back to clean.

In the study room in the courtyard, the Seventh Prince and Li Xin sat across the table.

Because of the reason that he just came back, there is no hot water at home, so naturally there is no way to serve tea, Li Xin bowed his head slightly, and said apologetically: "There is no tea at home, so I neglected Your Highness." ”

His Royal Highness King Wei laughed, then glanced Li Xin up and down, and said softly: "Brother Xin'er went to Southern Xinjiang once, but he seems to be a lot more mature. ”

"Escaping from death, naturally gained some experience,"

This trip to southern Xinjiang has made Li Xin's mentality change dramatically, and the mental outlook of the whole person is very different from before, so that the seventh prince can see the difference at a glance.

In the past, Li Xin, although he was old-fashioned, but because of his age, others more or less regarded him as a young man, and now Li Xin is already a complete adult.

The Seventh Prince nodded: "It is indeed not easy for Brother Xin to come back safely in Southern Xinjiang, it seems that the general of the Pillar State of my Great Jin Dynasty is still loyal and patriotic for the time being." ”

Li Xin narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, guess what I saw in Southern Xinjiang?" ”

His Royal Highness King Wei smiled indifferently: "What, seeing that Li Shen is going to rebel?" ”

Li Xin shook his head.

"I saw a behemoth."

The young man's face was calm, and he said solemnly: "The remnants of Nanshu and the Pingnan Hou Mansion, no one can do without each other, the two sides rely on each other, and they are inseparable in southern Xinjiang. ”

Speaking of this, Li Xin paused, looked up at the Seventh Prince, and said, "If you want to break the situation in Southern Xinjiang, you must let these two families have a gap. ”

His Royal Highness King Wei sighed: "I can't say anything." ”

Li Xin lowered his voice: "I am lucky, and I have buried a thread in southern Xinjiang, which may be used in the future." ”

The Seventh Prince suddenly became interested, and said with a smile: "It seems that Brother Xin'er is not completely passive in Southern Xinjiang, you might as well tell me what happened in Southern Xinjiang." ”

Li Xin sorted out his thoughts for a moment, and then slowly spoke.

"Speaking of which, Your Highness may not believe it, the rebellion of the remnants of Nanshu was cleared by the Pingnan Army in less than a month."

Li Xin took a deep breath and continued: "If the time for rushing is deducted, the time that the Pingnan Army really uses to fight will not exceed ten days, and I suspect that they ...... I didn't really fight at all......"

In this way, Li Xin took about half an hour to tell the Seventh Prince about what happened in southern Xinjiang.

Of course, he skipped the conversation he had with Li Shen.

After hearing this, the Seventh Prince frowned.

"This Li Xing of the Li family ...... Is it the person who said the remnants of Nanshu? ”

Li Xin nodded lightly: "Most likely." ”

The Seventh Prince smiled: "Brother Xin'er's luck is really good, and the two stupid women I caught casually actually came in handy." ”

Speaking of this, His Royal Highness King Wei paused, and then continued: "But this matter, it is inconvenient for me to intervene in it, so I will handle it specifically by Brother Xin, if there is anything you need to help, you will say hello to King Wei's mansion." ”

The Li family in Nanshu, if it sounds good, it is a remnant, and if it doesn't sound good, it is a thief, Ji Wen, as the seventh prince of the Great Jin Dynasty, is the most taboo to have anything to do with these thieves, so he will hand over this matter to Li Xin to deal with.

After the two of them discussed some specific details, they talked about the matter of supervising the military documents, and the Seventh Prince glanced at Li Xin and said softly: "So, Brother Xin will report tomorrow to speak for Li Shen?" ”

Li Xin lowered his eyebrows and said: "It's not to speak for him, but to find a step for Your Majesty, right?" ”

"That's right."

The Seventh Prince narrowed his eyes: "It's not time to turn his face, even if he makes it clear now, his father probably won't recognize it, so it's better to do superficial work and find a step for his father." ”

Li Xin looked at His Royal Highness the King of Wei and said softly: "Your Highness, did Your Highness find out about the distilled spirit?" ”

The Seventh Prince shook his head and smiled, "I've already asked people to figure out what you draw, but I haven't started trying to do it yet, thinking that I'll do it when you come back, so as not to make mistakes." ”

Li Xin nodded and said, "When the matter of southern Xinjiang is over, I will go to the Wei Wangfu and try to implement the matter of distilled liquor as much as possible." ”

The conversation between the two of them lasted from the evening to the late night, and when it was almost midnight, the two of them remembered that they had not eaten, and their stomachs were rumbling with hunger.

Fortunately, Li Xin's house still had grain and rice, as well as some eggs, so Senior Lieutenant Li rolled up his sleeves and prepared to start making fried rice to eat.

The Seventh Prince followed him into the kitchen and worked for a while to light the fire for Li Xin.

In the middle of the night, the Seventh Prince, who had some black ash on his face and hands, was holding a bowl of golden egg fried rice in his hand, and he was full of praise while picking up the rice.

"Brother Xin'er's cooking skills are hard to get, and when you go back to my house, remember to give this to the cooks in my house."

Among Li Xin's many crafts, fried rice is the best, after all, this thing is the thing he made the most in his previous life, at this time, hearing the praise of the Seven Princes, he just smiled indifferently: "It's not a strange thing, it's just that His Royal Highness is hungry, so he will find it delicious." ”

His Royal Highness King Wei laughed: "You don't come to bluff me, this thing is really good, after a few days the matter is over, you can also get a little bit for Xiao Jiu, she likes to eat these novel foods the most." ”

Li Xin narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Follow Your Highness's orders,"

This year is the eighteenth year of Chengde, the seventh prince is twenty-three years old, and Li Xin is sixteen years old.

Two young people were in a small courtyard, one holding a bowl of fried rice, blowing the night breeze, and eating very happily.

At the very least, it looks happy.

Many years later, when the two of them looked back at this scene, they didn't know if they would sigh.

……………………

When Li Xin and the Seventh Prince were having supper, the Chengde Heavenly Son in the Changle Palace finally finished the day's business, the Heavenly Son stood up from the dragon chair, stretched his waist, and glanced at the five Heavenly Prince's attendants kneeling in front of the palace, his voice was calm.

"When did you return to the capital?"

After Wang Mo and the others returned to the capital, they rushed to the palace to report as soon as possible, but at that time, the Son of Heaven was still busy and had no time to deal with them, and it was not until after night that they were called into Changle Palace by the great eunuch Chen Ju.

Wang Mo, the captain of the guards battalion who knelt at the front, lowered his head and said: "Back to Your Majesty, I waited for the first time in the afternoon to enter the capital, and after returning to Beijing, I immediately rushed back to the palace to report, and I didn't even go home." ”

The Son of Heaven of Chengde threw down the red pen in his hand and smiled: "So, Li Xin also arrived in the capital in the afternoon, what about others?" ”

"Captain Li went back to his home, saying that he had sorted out what he had seen and heard in southern Xinjiang, and he would know about it with His Majesty tomorrow."

The Son of Chengde glanced at Wang Mo and the others with a smile, and said indifferently: "Li Shen just let you come back?" ”

Wang Mo lowered his head, hesitated for a while, and then spoke: "We are the angels sent by His Majesty to Southern Xinjiang, and I think it is Marquis Li who is hindered by His Majesty's majesty and does not dare to embarrass us. ”

The Son of Chengde glanced at Wang Mo in surprise and smiled.

"After a trip to southern Xinjiang, you have become a little more treacherous, who taught you this?"
