Chapter 560: Admit defeat

Li Shen has never staged any father-son filial piety, he is extremely strict with his son, whether it is Li Chun or Li Shuo.

It's not that he has no feelings for his son, but because in his heart, his son's weight is much worse than his career in the Pingnan Army.

The reason why Li Xin's mother and son were abandoned in Qiyang County was also because of this reason.

Although the flower-like woman in Yongzhou is beautiful, it is too insignificant compared to the family business of Jincheng.

Therefore, in the past ten years, even if he has spent most of his time in the southwest, Li Shen has rarely seen Li Shuo's mother and son in Jincheng, and when they meet occasionally, they all look cold, and they can't see the warmth of father and son.

In fact, he was the same to Li Xin, and the reason why his attitude towards Li Xin changed greatly later was because he had a place to ask Li Xin in the Pingnan Hou Mansion.

So Li Shuo is very afraid of his "big father".

The momentum that has been cultivated over the years is very scary, so when Li Shuo answered Li Shen's question, his whole body trembled a little.

Li Shen glanced at Li Shuo lightly.

"You're telling the truth."

Li Shuo's face turned pale, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.

Li Shen frowned slightly, and was about to say something, when a fat figure walked out of this palace, and before the person approached, he heard a burst of laughter.

"Uncle is here, why don't you let me know in advance, and come out to greet your uncle."

Seeing the waste prince coming, Li Shen was not indifferent, he tidied up his clothes, bowed his head to Ji Yu and said, "Minister Li Shen, I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

This is the reason why Li Shen is reluctant to come to see this waste prince, no matter what the actual status of the two people is, as long as he sees Ji Yu, he must be full of courtesy, otherwise he will not be able to say anything on face.

Ji Yu said with a smile: "Why did my uncle suddenly come to Lonely?" ”

"I heard that there are juniors in the family who have come to the palace, and I am afraid of disturbing His Highness, so I came to take a look."

Speaking of this, Li Shen glanced at Li Shuo.

"Didn't disturb Your Highness?"

"No, no."

The fat prince smiled.

"Don't hide it from my uncle, I live here alone, and I'm quite lonely, today the younger brother of the Li family passed by here, and Lone asked him to come in and chat for a few words, which is quite speculative."

Li Shen glanced back at Li Shuo at this time, and then bowed his head slightly.

"The child doesn't know the proportions, it's good that he doesn't disturb His Highness."

Speaking of this, General Zhu Guo spoke: "Since His Highness feels lonely, the minister will select a few people for His Highness to send to the palace tomorrow to accompany His Highness to talk." ”

The fat prince rubbed his hands, a little embarrassed.

"There's one more thing I want to tell my uncle."

"Your Highness, please speak."

"That's right."

Ji Yu scratched his head and said: "There are two women in the palace who seem to have children, please ask my uncle to invite a doctor to come in, diagnose their pulse, and prescribe some fetal medicine." ”

Li Shen frowned, bowed his head and said, "Yes, the minister will go to find a doctor to enter the palace tomorrow." ”

"It's getting dark now, so the minister will take his leave."

As he spoke, Li Shen glanced at Li Shuo, who immediately said goodbye to Ji Yu and obediently followed behind Li Shen.

The big fat man Ji Yu watched from afar as the father and son drifted apart.

Then the fat prince pouted.

"Li Shen's son, there is no one like his."

After the fat prince finished speaking, he turned around laboriously and went back to his "gentle township".

When he was in the capital, although he heard that Li Xin might be Li Shen's son, he had not seen it, and if he did, he would have found that the Marquis of Jing'an was actually very similar to Li Shen.

……

"Your father and I have been very busy lately, and I don't have time to take care of you."

Li Shen walked in front with his hands in his hands and slowly closed his eyes.

"I don't want you to help us with anything, as long as you live in peace and don't make trouble."

Speaking of this, Li Shen quickened his pace and walked away.

He had so much to do.

Whether it is Hanzhou, Mianzhu, or Sword Pavilion, there are many documents that need to be decided sent into Jincheng every day, and Li Shen needs to deal with too many things every day.

Moreover, within the top echelons of the Pingnan Army, there has been endless debate about whether to attack Mianzhu.

He didn't have much energy to care about Li Shuo.

This time, if it weren't for Li Shuo going to meet the most important person in Jincheng, he wouldn't have come out of General Pingnan's mansion and made a special trip.

Li Shuo took a few steps forward and followed behind Li Shen, bowing his head.

"Father, my father ......"

Li Shen stopped and glanced back at Li Shuo.

"Don't worry, there is no danger in the Sword Pavilion for the time being."

"Even if the Sword Pavilion is broken, your father should be able to escape."

After saying this, Li Shen slowly closed his eyes.

"I still have something to do, you can go back first."

"Don't run around, after a while, I might send you out of Jincheng."

Li Shuo's heart was confused, and he bowed his head and said, "Father...... Where are you going to send me? ”

"In the mountains."

"Jincheng is not very safe, you are the last blood of our Li family, you must live, I have already contacted a tribe and sent you over next month."

No matter what, Li Shuo is indeed the last bit of incense for the Li family.

Li Xin can only be regarded as blood, not incense.

Because it is absolutely impossible for the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion to give him Li Shen and give him Li Zhijie a rank to burn incense, if Li Shuo also dies, the vein of the Pingnan Marquis Mansion will really be extinct.

Besides, Li Shen is also a human being, and he will also lick calves.

He also wanted his son to live.

Li Shuo lowered his head, his shoulders trembled slightly, and he choked up: "Father, since the situation has reached this point, why don't you and your father surrender, and then leave Jincheng with me and go to the mountains to ......"

"I can't go."

Li Shen's tone was calm, and he couldn't hear any mood swings.

"This is the family property left to me by my father, there are still tens of thousands of Pingnan troops in this city, and hundreds of thousands of relatives of Pingnan army, I can leave, but they all have to die."

"If you can't live together, then you die together."

Li Shen's face was calm, and he bowed his head and said: "I have to fight, otherwise I don't have to hold on until now, as early as sixteen years ago, I could stay in the capital and surrender to the imperial court." ”

Sixteen years ago, the Son of Heaven of Chengde ascended the throne not long ago, Li Zhijie, Marquis of Pingnan, died of illness, Li Shen went to southern Xinjiang to take over as Marquis of Pingnan, at that time, he could indeed "surrender" to the imperial court, and at that time "surrender", with his relationship with the Son of Heaven of Chengde, the Marquis of Pingnan Mansion can have a good end.

It's just that the end of the Pingnan Army will not be good.

If he could have surrendered, Li Shen would have surrendered a long time ago.

Li Shuo stopped talking, he knew that he couldn't persuade this middle-aged man who was not tall.

Li Shen went farther and farther.

"After you enter the mountain, live well, if you can't live anymore, change your name and surname, and go to the capital to find Li Xin."

"Since you've seen him, he knows you."

Speaking of this, Li Shen stopped.

"Li Xin, that person, is a good person in his bones, if you go to him, he will let you live well."

"But there's no need, and there's no need to go to him."

General Zhuguo's voice became farther and farther away.

"One day, if you go to him, it means that I will admit defeat to him."
