At the end of November of the first year of Taikang.

Just when Jing'an Marquis Li Xin was busy in the capital for the marriage, the general Ye Ming was busy getting acquainted with the soldiers in the forbidden army, and the little grandfather Ye Mao was rapidly approaching the Northern Zhou clan, a middle-aged man, sitting in an inconspicuous carriage, came to the center of Shu County.

Jincheng.

Li Shen, who had changed into a cotton coat, lifted the curtain of the carriage, slowly looked up at the tall city wall in front of him, and felt a little emotional.

In the past fourteen to fifteen years, he has spent at least more than ten years in this city, this time he thought that he would not be able to leave the capital, but fortunately, God blessed him, he finally returned to Jincheng alive.

His core home base.

Li Shen retracted his head back into the carriage and said in a calm tone.

"Go to General Pingnan's Mansion."

Zhong Ming, who was driving, drove the carriage and slowly drove to the gate of Jincheng, this time is a special period, the four gates of Jincheng have soldier handles, they naturally want to stop every carriage, but the black-faced Ye Ming, who was driving, took out a cyan token from his arms, and all the soldiers of the Pingnan Army shrank back and let this inconspicuous carriage enter the city.

The carriage came smoothly to the gate of General Pingnan's mansion.

"Master Hou, it's here."

Zhong Ming's tone was respectful.

Li Shen lifted the curtain, jumped out of the carriage with a short body, then looked up at the Pingnan General's Mansion, took a deep breath, turned back to the carriage and said,

"Ayu, it's here."

Ayu, is his original Mrs. Yu, at that time, the two of them were trapped in the capital and had nowhere to escape, and finally it was Li Shen who used his last energy in the capital to get two sets of uniforms of the Eight Men Soldiers and Horses, and after escaping in the evening, he first let Mrs. Yu go first, and then stayed in the capital to see Li Xin for the last time.

Later, he flew to catch up with Mrs. Yu, and the husband and wife finally arrived in Shu County after a month of traveling.

Madame Yu, who was pale, also lifted the curtain, she looked up at the Pingnan General's Mansion in front of her, which was both strange and somewhat familiar, and then immediately hid behind Li Shen.

Li Shen patted her junior, and her voice was gentle.

"Ayu, don't be afraid, we're home."

Mrs. Yu, who used to be wise and wise, looked like a panicked child at this time, and her eyes also lost their former luster, looking like a little girl who was afraid of life, and would only hide behind Li Shen.

This is not surprising, after Mrs. Yu lost her son, her spirit was a little abnormal, and she hid in the hole with Li Shen for two months, Li Shen asked her not to speak, she really didn't say a word, no matter how Li Shen opened her mouth along the way, Mrs. Yu never said a complete word.

Li Chun is the pillar of her life, and the Pingnan Hou Mansion in the capital is the sustenance of her life, and all of a sudden these two are gone, and he has no way to accept it.

Li Shen sighed, stepped forward and hugged her, and said in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, let's get home, no one can hurt you in the future." ”

While the couple were talking, a tall man rushed out of it, and then knelt down in front of Li Shen and wept: "Big brother, you are finally back!" ”

It is the righteous son of Li Zhijie, the Marquis of Pingnan, and Li Yan, the righteous brother of Li Shen.

Li Shen ignored Li Yan, who was kneeling on the ground, but patted his wife's back and whispered to Zhong Ming, "Go and arrange a place for your wife." ”

Zhong Ming stayed by Li Shen's side for a long time, so he stayed in this great general's mansion for a long time, and when he heard this, he immediately bowed his head and said respectfully to Madam Yu: "Madam, come with the little one." ”

Madame Jade hesitated.

Li Shen patted her shoulder gently, and said softly: "Ayu, you go over first, and my husband will go over to accompany you in a while." ”

Madame Yu glanced up at her husband, then let out a slight "um" and followed Zhong Ming.

After Mrs. Yu walked away, Li Shen turned his head to look at Li Yan who was kneeling on the ground.

This Pingnanhou's eyes became sharp.

Without any hesitation, he kicked Li Yan in the chest.

This big man was kicked two or three meters away by Li Shen's full strength, and when he struggled to get up, the corners of his mouth were already bloody.

Li Shen stepped forward and grabbed Li Yan's advance.

His tone was angry, and there was a hint of anger.

"Who told you to kill Ji Man?"

Li Shen's usual calm face was a little hideous at this time.

"Who told you to kill him!"

The general of the current dynasty almost roared.

"Who gave you the courage to dare to assassinate the Son of Heaven today?"

"You haven't stabbed him to death directly, you have given the imperial court an excuse to make a move against southern Xinjiang, and you have also given Ji Man time to calmly arrange the aftermath!"

Li Shen gritted his teeth angrily.

"Why did you kill him?"

"How dare you kill him!"

Li Yan committed something at the beginning, and it was Li Shen who risked a lot of danger and replaced Li Yan with himself, but being willing to exchange does not mean that Li Shen will not be angry in his heart.

He hated this somewhat stupid righteous brother, after all, if it weren't for Li Yan, everything wouldn't have come to this point.

Li Yan, a big man who was half a head taller than Li Shen, didn't dare to fight back in front of Li Shen, so he stood still and let Li Shen vent his anger.

He rolled on the ground with his stomach covered like a shrimp, and it didn't take long for him to get up from the ground and kneel in front of Li Shen, his forehead was already full of sweat mixed with blood.

"Big brother, it's my brother who did something wrong, you kill your brother now, and my brother has no complaints."

"If I kill you, will Ji Man be able to live?"

Li Shen's face was cold: "Originally, everyone can live a good life, and it is unlikely that the imperial court will make a move against the southwest at this stall, but because of you, because you killed the Son of Heaven, this battle has to be fought now!" ”

"You're so stupid."

Li Shen gritted his teeth.

Li Yan was lying on the ground, with blood and sweat on his forehead, and he bowed his head to Li Shen and said, "Big brother, don't be angry." ”

Li Shen took a few breaths and slowly spoke.

"Where is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

"It's in your general's mansion, and my junior brother will let him come over to see you."

Li Shen frowned.

"What nonsense, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in our Shu County, that is, the prince of the Eight Classics, you can't use "you" to describe it, you have to be respectful, do you understand? ”

"That's what my brother said."

"What is it like to the prince in the capital, what is it like in Jincheng, have you heard of it?"

Li Yan took a few deep breaths and tried his best to be able to speak smoothly.

"What the elder brother said is that the younger brother led the elder brother to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"No, you don't."

Li Shen's face was expressionless.

"When I take a shower and change my clothes, I will personally go to see His Highness."
