There are some things that there is no way to escape.

If at this time, Li Xin chooses to go back to Northern Xinjiang and continue to be the general of Zhenbei who was given to him by the imperial court with his neck bent, then the contradiction may not break out in a short period of time, but after a long time, it will definitely be ten times more violent than the current outbreak.

So he had to go back to the capital and deal with this matter.

One is for the stability of the southwest, and the other is for his family in the capital.

But everything depends on the attitude of the emperor.

If after he returned to the capital, Taikang Tianzi wanted to turn against him, then Li Xin would have to think of ways to get his family out of the capital, and then flee to the southwest to officially raise the flag and rebel.

Of course, with Li Xin's understanding of the Son of Heaven, the probability of this kind of thing happening is very low.

On the third day when the imperial army began to withdraw, Li Xin took Shen Gang and other hundreds of people to bid farewell to Mu Ying at the gate of Hanzhou City.

The people he took with him were all from Jizhou City who followed him to Hanzhou, and as for the group of people who came from Yongzhou, Li Xin did not let them leave.

Because after this incident, it was too dangerous for them to be outside.

Because of these people, Li Xin specially instructed Mu Ying.

"Brother Mu, these brothers from Yongzhou, I'm afraid they will be living in Hanzhou City in the next few years, you have to arrange a place for them to live."

Mu Ying's eyes lit up.

Others don't know, but he knows very well, most of those "heavenly thunders" are made by more than 100 people, and he is thinking about how to keep these people, he can't help nodding when he hears this, and his mouth is grinning behind his ears.

"Don't worry, Master Hou, I will take care of these brothers."

Li Xin could naturally see his thoughts, and when he saw this, he pulled him to a remote place, and said lightly: "These people, when they leave Hanzhou City, they will most likely be targeted by the people of the imperial court outside, so they have to live with you." ”

Mu Ying patted her chest: "Don't worry, Master Hou, I will definitely protect them." ”

The Marquis of Jing'an's face was calm.

"You think they can make thunder, don't you?"

Mu Ying scratched her head,

"Didn't they make those clay pots?"

Li Xin nodded.

"You and I are brothers, I won't hide it from you."

"Those things are indeed made by them, but that thing needs to be powdered to make it, and none of these people can make that kind of powder."

Mu Ying smiled bitterly: "Master Hou, I won't be greedy for your things, you ......"

The Marquis of Jing'an said lightly: "This thing, I haven't thought about whether to let it become popular in the world, and I won't tell anyone for the time being, but my brother Lin Hu will prepare pharmaceutical powder, I have explained to him, if Hanzhou City is in danger, he will help you." ”

Speaking of this, Li Xin's face became solemn.

"I haven't told anyone about this matter, because if outsiders know that Huzi can make medicinal powder, even if he lives in Hanzhou City, it may be dangerous."

"Brother Mu, even Ling Zun can't reveal this matter."

The power of this big killing weapon is too tempting, if Li Xin leaves Hanzhou and the Mu family knows about Lin Hu, even if Mu Ying doesn't have this mind, the Mu family is very likely to attack Lin Hu.

Of course, with Huzi's character, if someone forces him to do something to betray Brother Xin'er, he will probably die.

To be honest, Li Xin was very worried that Lin Hu would stay anywhere, but he really couldn't take him into Beijing, so he could only place him in Hanzhou City, and to put it mildly, if Li Xin entered Beijing this time and fell into the capital, Lin Hu, the only person besides Li Xin, who had mastered the gunpowder formula, would have a chance to rescue Li Xin.

Mu Ying's face was also full of solemnity.

He said in a deep voice: "Chang'an, don't worry, you can get out of your mouth and into my ears, and there will never be a third person who knows." ”

"From today on, Lao Tzu sleeps alone, and he doesn't even let others hear his dreams."

Li Xin laughed and patted him on the shoulder.

"There's no need for this, just pay attention to Brother Mu on weekdays."

After he finished talking to Mu Ying, he walked into the crowd again and called Lin Hu out.

This pair of brothers who grew up in Qishan walked side by side.

You must know that even Mu Ying, who is friends with Li Xin, when she walks with Li Xin, she is one or half a position behind Li Xin, intentionally or unintentionally, and only Lin Hu, who grew up with Li Xin since childhood, can be so natural and unrestrained.

The two of them walked for a while, and when they arrived at a place where there were no people, Li Xin took his hand out of his sleeve and patted Lin Hu on the shoulder.

"Originally, I wanted to wait for your mourning period to expire, and let you go back to Beijing to marry a wife and pass on the lineage to Uncle Lin, but now that this incident has happened, I am afraid that you will not be able to return to Beijing for a while."

Speaking of this, Li Xin sighed.

"Only by living in the city of Hanju can you be safer."

Lin Hu nodded silently and said with a smile: "Brother Xin'er doesn't need to be like this, I live wherever I live, and it's much better here than our hometown." ”

Li Xin nodded silently.

"Although Mu Ying and I believe it, but the people in Hanzhou City may not all be credible, you live here, don't forget, no matter who asks you, whether you knock on the side or not, intentionally or unintentionally, you must not leak it, that thing was made by you!"

"The Mu family can't do it either."

Li Xin took a deep breath and said, "If something happens, go to Mu Ying, he can believe it." ”

Lin Hu nodded, stretched out his relatively rough right hand, hesitated, and patted Li Xin on the shoulder.

"Brother Xin, don't worry, I understand."

Speaking of this, he lowered his head and was silent for a while, and said slowly: "It's you... Be careful. ”

"The water in the capital is very mixed, Brother Xin, you have to be careful at all times."

Li Xin smiled.

"Don't worry, the water in the capital is all mixed up for my brother."

Lin Hu had a slightly innocent smile on his face.

"Brother Xin, I've figured it out in the past few days, if someone in the capital embarrasses you, I'll use that thing to save you."

Looking at this brother who grew up with him, Li Xin was a little touched, he put his arm around Lin Hu's shoulders and exhaled.

"Alright, it's getting late, I'm leaving."

"Don't worry, back then, my uncle and I wore single clothes into the capital, and we could mix well in the capital, and now I am the Marquis of Jing'an, the general of Zhenbei, and the prince of the imperial court, and the capital is many times more than I don't know back then."

The Marquis of Jing'an smiled and said, "I can't lose." ”

Saying that, he had already returned to Mu Ying and the group of people who saw him off, he put Lin Hu next to Mu Ying, and then turned over and got on his ink horse.

Mu Ying stood on the side of the road and clenched her fists at Li Xin.

"Master Hou, take care."

"I haven't seen my nephew yet, and I'm still waiting to come into the capital to find you for a drink."

Li Xin sat on his horse and waved his hand at Mu Ying.

"Brother Mu, don't worry, when that doll is older, I will let him recognize you as a master, and you will have more opportunities to see him in the future."

General Mu let out a long laugh.

"Okay, I'll be cheeky enough to recognize this disciple!"

Li Xin sat on his horse and hugged his fists at the people who came to see him off from the Hanzhou Mansion.

"Wait for the matter, I'll invite you to drink Qin Huaihe in the capital!"

Most of the people in Hanzhou City have never been in the capital, only Mu Ying, who has been a general for two years, laughed heartily.

"Master Hou has said everything, don't be reluctant."

He chuckled.

"Qinhuaihe's girls, it's very precious!"
