After Li Xin entered Jincheng, he lived in a garden in Jincheng, and usually went to Zhao Jia occasionally to drink, and would also walk around Jincheng and look everywhere.

He is not going to stay in the southwest for the rest of his life, but at this time, he must live in the southwest for a while, after all, returning to the capital at this time is unpredictable, and he needs to wait and see the capital for a while.

When Li Xin arrived in the southwest, the envoys sent by the imperial court to the southwest could also go back, but before these people left, they still went to Li Xin to say goodbye.

There were about 100 people in this group, led by Xie Jing, the former Qianniu Wei Zhonglang General.

Speaking of Xie Jing's encounter along the way is very aggrieved, you must know that he is the younger brother of the queen of the dynasty, and he is also the only brother, Li Xin called Xie Dai "Uncle Guo", which is a bit ridiculous, but this Qianniuwei Zhonglang General, but he is a serious Uncle Guo, but after he came to the southwest with more than 100 Qianniuwei, he only saw Mu Ying before and after, and was placed in a courtyard to "wait for news", and he waited for several months!

It wasn't until a few days ago that Xie Jing and the others received news from Mu Ying, saying that the southwest had negotiated with the imperial court and they could go back.

At this time, Xie Jing knew that Li Xin had arrived in the southwest.

At this time, at the gate of Li Xin's garden, there was a group of Hanzhou soldiers guarding, saying that it was the Hanzhou army, but in fact, it was the Yulinwei sent by Li Xin to Hanzhou back then, and now most of them are already middle-level or even high-level in the Hanzhou army.

Li Xin lived here, and he was idle, so he let them in.

Under the leadership of the two Hanzhou troops, Xie Jing and a few Qianniuwei walked into this garden, and finally under a pavilion, they saw Li Xin who was drinking tea, Xie Jing's face was ugly, he took a few deep breaths, walked in front of Li Xin, bowed his head and hugged his fists: "Xiaguan Xie Jing, I have seen Li Houye." ”

Li Xin was drinking tea leisurely under the pavilion alone, when he heard this, he glanced back at Xie Jing, and didn't get up, but said with a smile: "Uncle Guo is here, please take a seat." ”

As he spoke, he gestured to the vacant spot opposite.

Xie Jing originally didn't dare to sit on an equal footing with Li Xin, but at this moment, he was angry in his heart, gritted his teeth and sat down.

Li Xin stretched out his hand and poured him a cup of hot tea, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, Brother Xie Dai has also arrived in the southwest, and is now repairing in the Sword Pavilion. ”

Compared with Li Xin's indifference, Xie Jing, who is about the same age as Li Xin, is not very calm, he doesn't drink tea, he just looks up at Li Xin, and says in a sullen voice: "Master Li, the lower officials have something to understand." ”

Li Xin's face was calm.

"You ask."

Uncle Guo's face was gloomy, and he said: "I also came to the southwest to negotiate, and after the official arrived in the southwest, he was placed under house arrest for several months and couldn't move, why did you go to the southwest, and the Hanzhou army immediately lowered the flag and surrendered to the Great Jin?" ”

"The lower official asked, the conditions brought by the Hou Ye are no different from the conditions brought by the lower officials."

Li Xin put down the teacup in his hand.

"Uncle Guo means that I am colluding with the southwest?"

The reason why Xie Jing asked a sentence was largely because he wanted to express the stuffiness in his chest for several months, but when he heard Li Xin speak so directly, he was so confused that he didn't know how to answer.

Marquis Jing'an smiled faintly.

"What Xie Lang should do at this time is to say hello to me, and then go back to Beijing obediently, and keep silent about the affairs of the southwest, so it is a good thing for you and me, and even for the imperial court, and for the Xie family, you are now running over like a stunned young man to question me, if I accidentally die in the southwest, how will I explain to the queen mother in the future?"

In fact, Li Xin could make up a lot of reasons to answer Xie Jing's question, but he was too lazy to entangle with this hairy boy, so he said it straight to the point.

Li Houye looked at the tea in front of Xie Jing.

"Uncle Guo still drank this cup of tea, obediently turned around and left, and then immediately set off back to the capital, there is the queen mother in the court, your trip to the southwest, there is no fault, after going back, you will be promoted and made a fortune with peace of mind, isn't it happy?"

Xie Jing's face turned red, and he was so angry that he almost slapped the table with Li Xin.

Although he and Li Xin are the same age, but the two of them are far apart in terms of experience and vision, Xie Jing is still a big gap compared to his cousin Xie Dai, in front of Li Xin, he is simply like a doll who has not been deeply involved in the world.

He couldn't even say a word.

Just like more than ten years ago, when Li Xin first entered the southwest from the capital to face Li Shen.

After a long time, the uncle of the country trembled with his hands, picked up the tea in front of him, raised his head and drank it all.

Because he drank too fiercely, he spilled a lot of tea on his body.

After drinking, he stood up and bowed his head and clenched his fists at Li Xin.

The voice gritted its teeth.

"Since this is the case, the lower officials will not disturb the Hou Ye, and they will leave."

Li Xin still didn't stand up, but said with a smile: "Uncle Guo walks slowly." ”

After Xie Jing took a few steps back, he stopped and glanced back at Li Xin.

"Master Hou, don't forget, Pingnan Hou Mansion Yin Jian is not far away."

He was reminding Li Xin not to be the second Li Shen.

Li Xin, who was sitting under the gazebo, smiled slightly.

"Thank you Uncle Guo for reminding me, the Pingnan Hou Mansion is in my hands, and I know the lesson better than Uncle Guo."

Xie Jing turned to leave.

Looking at Xie Jing's back getting farther and farther away, Li Xin shook his head slightly.

"If the Xie family is the one who is in charge of Xie Dai in the future, it may still be a little interesting, but if Xie Jing is in charge, even if there is a nephew emperor, most of the time it will be like this."

Compared with the two brothers, Xie Dai, who was born in a branch, is undoubtedly much better than Xie Jing, at least if Xie Dai was here, he wouldn't dare to talk to Li Xin like this.

Li Xin was thinking about the affairs of the Xie family under the pavilion, and Chen Sixteen, who had only one arm, walked over and whispered to Li Xin: "Master Hou, Master Li Shuo has arrived in Jincheng, and now I want to see you outside." ”

Li Xin casually threw the cup that Xie Jing had drunk opposite him into the pond next to him, and then replaced it with a new one, his face calm.

"Let him in."

"Yes."

Chen Sixteen has now taken over the official work of this garden, and soon Li Shuo, who was dressed in single clothes, went to the bottom of the pavilion under his leadership, compared to Xie Jing, who was stunned, Li Shuo had much more rules, and he bowed respectfully to Li Xin.

"I've seen my brother."

Li Xin pointed to the seat opposite and motioned for him to sit down, Li Shuo did not hesitate and sat opposite Li Xin.

"Have you gone back and discussed the results?"

Li Shuo nodded: "The discussion has come out, the old department of the Pingnan Army has agreed to merge into the Hanzhou Army, as long as the elder brother gives the charter, the younger brother will do it immediately." ”

Li Xin poured him a cup of tea, then stared at his hand and asked indifferently, "Killed?" ”

No matter what the team is, when faced with such a big decision, there will inevitably be opposition.

Li Shuo first shook his head, and then after seeing Li Xin's calm eyes, he nodded silently.

"Kill a few."

"That's good."

Li Xin raised the teacup, saluted his cheap brother, and took a sip himself.

He put down the teacup and looked at Li Shuo.

"I thought you had to kill a lot of people to make it."
