Jincheng, the palace of the king of Shu.

In fact, the palace of Shu could have been placed in the old Nanshu Palace in Jincheng, but in order to fear that the court would use this as an excuse to say that the Shu Palace, it was simply built another.

Today's King of Shu is the son of Mu Ying, but he has changed his surname to Li, called Li Xu, nominally a descendant of the Chenghan royal family, the son of Li Xing.

Li Xing did have two sons, but after he was killed by Li Xin directly with a knife after he was killed by Taikang Tianzi in the capital, his descendants in Jincheng were also killed by Mu Ying, and none of them were left.

Frankly speaking, Li Xing really deserves to die, but most of his family members are innocent, but they died under Li Xing's stupidity, and they can't blame others.

After entering the palace of the King of Shu, His Royal Highness Li Xuan, who was only six years old, stepped forward to bow to Li Xin and called him his father.

He recognized Li Xin as his godfather, which was something that Mu Ying and Li Xin had said a long time ago, but it was just that creation made people, and now Li Xin's godfather is still a marquis, and this little guy has already "torn the earth and sealed the king".

is different from Mu Ying, who has a black face, this "young" King of Shu is fair-skinned and has a handsome face, which seems to be stained with a lot of mother's light.

His mother is Li Xing's sister, that is, the little county lord of the Li family, and his surname Li is also his mother's surname, not that the Mu family changed his surname out of thin air.

This little county lord, after being picked up by Mu Ying from the capital back to the southwest, the two gradually hooked up, and because Li Xing designed to kill Li Fu, she never got along with her eldest brother Li Xing again, and she didn't even know that her two nephews had been killed by her husband Mu Ying.

Although Li Xin was tired from the journey, when he saw the junior, he still squatted down and reached out to touch the little guy's head, and said with a smile: "It's so big in a blink of an eye." ”

Mu Ying, who was following behind Li Xin, frowned slightly: "Go look for your mother, adults have something to talk about." ”

Li Xin fumbled in his sleeve, and finally found a rather delicate telescope, hanging on the neck of this little prince, this telescope is only about three or four inches long, Jing'an Hou Ye smiled and said: "This is the latest batch of clairvoyant mirrors made by the craftsmen in the Beijing workshop, which was originally for my own use, but now it is useless, so let's play with it." ”

Children love novelties, and when he took it, he looked at it in his eyes and immediately smiled.

"Thank you, godfather."

Mu Ying waved at him.

"Alright, let's go down and play."

His Royal Highness the King of Shu jumped away.

Mu Ying and Zhao Jia both followed behind Li Xin, and the three of them crossed the front hall of the Shu Palace, walked to the back garden, and sat down under a gazebo.

After sitting down, Mu Ying took a deep breath and bowed her head to Li Xin and hugged her fists: "Master Hou, I was negligent in this matter, speaking of which, that Qingqi person or I invited Brother Lin to come over to dinner and invite him to sing songs, they only met, I didn't expect things to turn out like this." ”

Lin Hu's task in Jincheng is actually very boring, it is simply to master the secret recipe of Tianlei, only when Zhao Jia asks him to make Tianlei, he will have work, he is extremely idle on weekdays, Mu Ying is also worried that this important person is boring in Jincheng, so he often invites him to drink.

Because Mu Ying and Li Xin are friends, Lin Hu doesn't refuse much, and often comes to the Shu Palace's mansion to drink.

After Li Xin sat down, he rubbed his eyes that were a little swollen and painful, and said, "It's the hand of the Plum Blossom Guard in the capital, and it's been planning for more than a year. ”

"Presumably, it took a lot of time for them to find out Huzi, otherwise they would have done it long ago after the first emperor's funeral."

He had been on the road for ** days, and he only slept for two or three hours a day, and he felt sleepy at this time.

"Go get a pen and paper."

Mu Ying nodded immediately, and quickly ran to get a pen and paper and spread it in front of Li Xin.

Li Xin picked up the pen, frowned and thought for a while, and then drew three symbols on the paper.

Each of these three symbols is a simple number of strokes, but it looks like three plum blossoms with different shapes, each representing a different meaning.

These symbols were painted by Xiao Zheng to show him.

Of course, his meeting with Xiao Zheng was originally taboo, and this kind of thing could not be seen on paper and pen, so it was all written down by Li Xin by memory, and afterwards he also painted a few times in the Jing'an Hou Mansion, and he burned it after he finished painting.

"Meihuawei was there during the Taizu period of the Great Jin Dynasty, when the Great Jin Dynasty opened the country in the early years, Meihuawei successfully assassinated many generals, this organization has a single line joint, it makes no sense to find one or two people, at most it only hurts their branches and leaves."

"These are the three secret marks that Meihuawei used to communicate with the joints, and in the past few days, Brother Mu has arranged some elites to secretly check these marks in the capital, and he should be able to find some clues."

"After finding the clues, don't startle the snake, try to find as many plum blossom guards as possible, or know where Huzi is kept......"

Speaking of this, Li Xin closed his eyes.

"Dead or not..."

"Let's think about attacking them."

"Meihuawei can't be in Jincheng recently, when the Hou Mansion is in charge of the southwest, there must be Meihuawei in Jincheng, be careful."

Mu Ying carefully looked at the symbols written by Li Xin on the paper a few times and nodded deeply.

"Subordinate, let's do it."

Li Xin rubbed his temples, frowned, and said: "Remember, let someone more reliable check it, the generals of the Hou Mansion could mix in the Plum Blossom Guard back then, maybe there will also be a Plum Blossom Guard in your Shu Palace." ”

Mu Ying's heart sank, and she bowed her head respectfully.

"My subordinates understood."

With that, Mu Ying bowed down and went to do something.

Zhao Jia, on the other hand, hesitated for a moment and sat on the stool opposite Li Xin, he glanced at Li Xin, who was full of exhaustion, and sighed slightly.

"Master Hou, how are you doing in the capital lately?"

Li Xin opened his eyes, first sighed, and then smiled helplessly.

"Li Shen once told me that he said that the Ji family is a virtue, I used to think this sentence was a bit biased, but now it seems that there is indeed some truth."

"The Son of Heaven in Chengde has never used me, nor has he believed in me, the Son of Taikang has used me, but he doesn't believe in me, and he has arrived at this new Son of Heaven."

The Marquis of Jing'an smiled: "He grew up with me, he followed me since he was a child, and he shouted either uncle or teacher, I thought he would believe me a little, I risked offending all the civil officials and even offending the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and even this little doll of the Ji family didn't believe me." ”

"It's chilling."

Li Xin's words were a bit general, Zhao Jia didn't fully understand it, but he heard some meaning, and he said in a low voice: "No matter who you are, if you sit in that position, you will think differently." ”

"Master Hou has also been in the court for more than ten years, so he should have figured out this truth a long time ago."

"Brother You'an and I don't think the same."

Li Xin got up and yawned.

"I still think it's three generations of their family, and their hearts are too small to tolerate people."

Zhao Jia smiled.

"It's not unreasonable for Hou Ye to think so."

Li Xin put his hands in his sleeves and walked out of the pavilion.

"It's not okay to be sleepy, go to sleep first, and when I wake up, I'll talk to Brother You'an in detail."

With that, he walked away slowly.

Zhao Jia was stunned, then sighed, and looked at Li Xin's back, taking a deep look.
