Different from the slow speed when he came, on the way back to Beijing, Li Xin asked Chen Sixteen to hurry almost at full speed, although the speed of the carriage was still not very fast, but it still arrived at the Sword Pavilion on the third day.

At the gate of Jiange County, Xie Dai and the others had already been released and were waiting for Li Xin at the city gate.

To Li Xin's surprise, Mu Ying, who was supposed to be in Jincheng, was also at the gate of Jiange County at this time, Li Xin jumped out of the carriage and walked in front of Mu Ying with a smile on his face.

"Why did Brother Mu come here?"

Mu Ying didn't have much smile on his face, he sighed slightly, and slowly spoke: "Come and send one to the Hou Ye." ”

Marquis of Jing'an glanced at this black-faced general angrily.

"The tone of your voice is like I'm going to die."

Mu Ying is a person who likes to joke very much on weekdays, but at this time he didn't have any intention of joking, he lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "According to the meaning of the Hou Ye, I have already brought out all these Yu Lin Wei, but after all, they are people from the imperial court, and they are no longer our original batch of Yu Lin Wei. ”

Li Xin shook his head.

"If I really want to die, I will not die on the road, but in the capital, Xie Dai and these people will not attack me, when I get to the capital, no matter how many Hanzhou troops there are, it will be useless."

"It doesn't have to be a big deal."

Mu Ying nodded.

"Then I'll send Master Hou."

Li Xin smiled: "Where is it necessary to be so serious, I was originally going back to the capital, but I just went back early and late." ”

Mu Ying didn't hold back in the end, he lowered his head and said, "Master Hou, according to my meaning, if you really want to go back to Beijing, it's better to wait for the exact news from the capital before returning to Beijing." ”

The "exact news" he was referring to was the death of the Son of Heaven.

The Marquis of Jing'an shook his head slightly.

"If you really have to wait until then, it will be too late."

He reached out and patted Mu Ying on the shoulder, still with a smile on his face.

"I'm going to the capital, when I can grasp the situation, Brother Mu will stay in the southwest for a few years, and when everything settles in a few years, I will invite Brother Mu to drink in the proud building."

Speaking of the Deyi Building, Mu Ying remembered the old things about being a Yulinwei in the capital, at that time Li Xin often ran to the Deyi Building, and he followed, the black-faced general who had been black-faced, finally showed a smile on his face.

"Okay, when you enter the capital again, you must be in the proud building without getting drunk and not returning!"

After saying this, Mu Ying hesitated for a moment, and also reached out and patted Li Xin's shoulder.

He was already taller than Li Xin, and when he shot like this, he had the taste of an elder brother talking to his younger brother.

"Chang'an, you...... Be sure to take care. ”

Li Xin smiled and nodded.

"Brother Mu, rest assured, we have all come over with so many winds and waves over the years, and we can get by this time."

Speaking of this, Li Xin turned around and walked to his carriage, and Mu Ying followed him until he was near the carriage.

Li Xin got into the carriage and looked back at Mu Ying.

"In the past, when I was in Yongzhou to listen to the book, there was a general in the book, also named Mu Ying, who had the same name and surname as Brother Mu."

Mu Ying was a little surprised.

"Is that really the case?"

Li Xin said with a smile: "That General Mu is a powerful person, and he has done a lot as an official, and if he has the opportunity in the future, I will also seal the official in Brother Mu's book." ”

Li Xin's words, although Mu Ying was a little confused, still nodded.

"Everything is subject to the arrangement of the Hou Ye."

The Marquis of Jing'an smiled and closed the curtain.

What he said is actually his world, Mu Ying in that world, is Zhu Yuanzhang's adopted son, the Marquis of Xiping, and the king of Qianning.

The descendants are hereditary princes of Qianguo.

It is also commonly known as Muwangfu.

………………

The carriage departed from the Sword Pavilion and walked along the official road all the way to the east, heading towards the capital.

Xie Dai and more than 100 other Yu Linwei, as when they came, gathered around Li Xin's carriage and protected Li Xin with them.

Unlike when they came, this time their speed was much faster, when they came, they walked this road for a month, and if they went back at this speed, they would be able to reach the capital in about 20 days.

In the evening, the group entered a county town and found an inn to rest.

A group of Yu Linwei were "locked up" for several months, and they were suddenly free at this time, they were a little unaccustomed to it, and Yu Linwei was very disciplined, with Xie Dai, the Zhonglang general, they didn't dare to drink, so they could only obediently guard nearby.

There were only two people, Li Xin and Chen Sixteen, sitting on the first floor of the inn, drinking and eating.

Yulin Zhonglang hesitated for a while, also carried a jar of wine, and stood next to Li Xin's table, but he didn't dare to sit down, just gently put the wine jug on Li Xin's table, bowed his head slightly to Li Xin, and said in a respectful tone.

"Thank you Lord Hou for not killing."

Li Xin was eating vegetables, but when he heard this, he glanced up at Xie Dai, and put down the chopsticks in his hand.

"Where do you start?"

Xie Dai took a deep breath and said: "I will follow Hou Ye to the southwest, after arriving at the Sword Pavilion, life and death are in the mind of Hou Ye, Hou Ye can kill but does not kill us, it is the grace of not killing." ”

Li Xin smiled and stretched out his finger to point across from him.

"You're welcome, sit down and talk."

One thing to say, he still admires this young man of the Xie family very much, compared to Xie Jing, Xie Dai has a degree of advance and retreat, and he can understand many things with a pair of eyes, and he is a very smart young man.

Next, if there is really a change in the capital, Li Xin will inevitably have to contact the Xie family, and when the time comes, he would rather contact this Xie Dai than talk to that uncle of the country.

Xie Dai took a deep breath and carefully sat opposite Li Xin.

Li Xin asked Chen Sixteen to get an extra pair of chopsticks and put them in front of Xie Dai.

While eating, he talked to Xie Dai.

"Actually, I can't talk about the grace of not killing, I was born in Yulinwei, everyone in the capital knows it, just with the black skin on your body, I won't kill you if you say kill."

Xie Dai said this sentence just now, half of it was out of temptation, and when he heard that Li Xin might really kill them, because Yulin Zhonglang would tremble all over.

He said in a low voice: "Master Hou, do you want to go back to the capital?" ”

When Li Xin said what he said just now, it was tantamount to admitting that he had colluded with the southwest, at least it was related, and since he had left the capital at this time, it stands to reason that he should not go back.

"Naturally, I went back to Beijing to resume my purpose."

Li Xin raised his head and glanced at Xie Dai, and said calmly: "I was ordered by His Majesty a few months ago to pacify the southwest, and now the state capitals in the southwest have settled down, and the Mu family and the southwest Li family have surrendered to the Great Jin, and there is no more turmoil in the entire southwest. ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at Xie Dai with a smile.

"Does Xie Lang think that I should stay in the southwest forever?"

"Don't dare."

Even if the dishes and chopsticks were placed in front of him, Xie Dai never dared to move the chopsticks, he lowered his head and frowned slightly, and he couldn't figure out what Li Xin was going to do.

This is information asymmetry.

Xie Dai is a smart man, if he also knew that Taikang's life would be short, he could roughly guess what Li Xin was going to do when he returned to Beijing, but now, no matter who it was, he would be confused.

Different from Xie Dai's restraint, Li Xin ate his own, and soon he ate seven or eight minutes full and put down his chopsticks.

Then he looked at Xie Dai.

"After Xie Lang returns to Beijing, he might as well go and meet the queen mother first."

"Xie Jia...... There may be a lot to do. ”
