Three days later, in the evening, Li Xin and others came to a post station in the north of the capital.

This post station is still about thirty miles away from the capital, and the gate of the city is also closed when he rushes back to the capital at this time, Li Xin does not have the ability to open the city gate, and he still has soldiers with him, and it is impossible to open the city gate in the middle of the night to let him in.

So Senior Lieutenant Li waved his hand and announced that he would rest here tonight and prepare to enter the capital the next day.

In the second half of the night, there was a gentle knock on Li Xin's door.

A few months of military life made Li Xin a lot more alert, and he almost immediately came to his senses and lit the oil lamp in the room.

Standing at the door was the old lieutenant Wang Zhong.

"Master Wang, what's wrong?"

"Someone's coming."

Wang Zhong frowned: "There are probably dozens of people, and it's almost time to arrive at the post station." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xin also heard the faint rumbling sound of horses' hooves, and it was obvious that the person Wang Zhong was talking about was already very close.

Li Xin smiled: "It's all at the feet of the Son of Heaven here, there won't be any bandits, right?" However, it is indeed a bit unusual to rush in the middle of the night, so it is better to be vigilant. ”

As he spoke, Li Xin woke up some of Yu Linwei, ordered him to be on guard, and he himself changed his clothes and took out the green pheasant sword from under the pillow.

This sword is very strange, it doesn't look very eye-catching, and it even looks like a bronze sword, but Li Xin once tried it with those scimitars of the Hu people, and with a light touch, he could cut those fairly sharp scimitars into two pieces.

According to Zang Xuantong, this thing is made of meteorite iron, and it cannot be described by common sense.

This kind of magic weapon is a must-have for the protagonist in martial arts, but I didn't expect it to fall into Li Xin's hands one day.

But this thing is very heavy, the whole is about five or six catties, you must know that the general sword is about one or two catties, and the heavier two or three catties are unbelievable, this sword is more than five catties, with Li Xin's current arm strength and wrist strength, it is difficult to control.

He can only use this thing as a machete to cut people now, and it is obviously impossible to use any bells and whistles.

Carrying the green pheasant sword, Li Xinxin settled down a lot, and as soon as he walked to the gate of the post station, he saw twenty or thirty horses galloping on the official road in the south, and the sound was getting closer and closer.

It was about forty or fifty meters long, and with the torches in the hands of this group of people, Li Xin could see clearly who the first person was.

Lieutenant Li said in a deep voice to Wang Zhong beside him: "It's my own people who are here, let everyone disperse, don't be nervous." ”

When the Seven Princes came to see themselves outside the city in the middle of the night, there must be something big, and at this time, they had to keep a low profile and not let too many people know.

Wang Zhong nodded, went down to order, and after Li Xin sorted out his clothes, the horses of the Seven Princes and others had stopped at the gate of the post station.

Li Xin stepped forward and hugged his fists and said, "I've seen Your Highness." ”

The Seventh Prince turned over and dismounted, walked in front of Li Xin in three or two steps, and patted Li Xin on the shoulder.

In the past few days, His Royal Highness the King of Wei has not lived very well, and it can even be said that he is living like a year.

He had never waited for someone to be so anxious, even when his love first opened in his early years, the girl in his heart was far less tormented than now.

After three days of waiting, Li Xin and the others finally arrived near the capital, and the Seven Princes finally couldn't wait any longer, so he personally took several generals from the Wei Palace's mansion and rushed to this post station overnight.

Because of excessive anxiety in his heart, the prince even lost some weight at this time.

Li Xin bowed his head and said, "Your Highness, why are you in such a hurry to let you rush here in the middle of the night?" ”

His Royal Highness King Wei opened his mouth, wanting to say something, and then felt that this place was not suitable, and said in a deep voice: "Let's talk in a different place." ”

Li Xin nodded, said hello to Wang Zhong, and asked him to lead Yu Linwei to guard the four sides, then led the Seventh Prince to the house, stretched out his hand to pour him a cup of tea, and said, "Your Highness, what's wrong?" ”

If a prince can go out of the city for twenty or thirty miles to meet him regardless of his identity, something must have happened in the capital, and it is related to himself and threatens the big thing of the Wei Palace.

The Seventh Prince took a sip of tea and sighed softly: "Brother Xin, Li Yan, the deputy general of the Pingnan Army in Southern Xinjiang, has returned to the capital. ”

Li Yan –

This person Li Xin had met once in southern Xinjiang, and it was he who took the soldiers of the Pingnan Army to greet Li Shen on the official road.

Thinking of this, Li Xin smiled: "What's wrong with him coming back?" ”

"He came back to serve as a squire in the military department, and he sued you in front of his father."

As he spoke, His Royal Highness King Wei took out a few pieces of blank paper from his sleeve and handed them to Li Xin: "When my father summoned me that day, he showed me Li Yan's recital, and after I returned home, I wrote it down silently, although it was not word-for-word, but I couldn't make a few mistakes. ”

Li Xin took these blank papers, and after a brief glance, his face became a little unpleasant.

The affairs of southern Xinjiang, he thought that he had handled it very well, and when he saw Li Xing in Hanzhou Mansion, he also thought that no one had found out, so he was able to bring Mu Ying with him so reassuringly, but now, Li Xin realized that he was too underestimating the people of this era.

After reading it carefully, Li Xin let out a long breath and said, "This is a spy on Li Xing's side." ”

Speaking of this, Captain Li was a little angry: "Being in Shu County, a great palace of Southern Shu, he was actually buried by Li Shen around him, he really deserves the death of Southern Shu!" ”

His Royal Highness King Wei shook his head and said: "Now is not the time to say this, Li Yan's recital was suppressed by his father, and there is nothing to do for the time being, but his father ordered it." Let you go to see him as soon as you return to Beijing. ”

Ji Wen's face was solemn: "This is about the net worth and life of you and me, Brother Xin must be cautious!" ”

Li Xin only now understood the intention of the Seventh Prince.

The matter of southern Xinjiang cannot be hidden, and he must tell the truth in front of the emperor of Chengde, and the difference now is that the seventh prince knows whether Li Xin "colluded" with southern Xinjiang.

He is the prince of the Great Jin Dynasty, his identity is sensitive, and he must not be involved in colluding with thieves, he ran to this post station in the middle of the night to see Li Xin, for this matter.

His Royal Highness the King of Wei said in a low voice: "My father has already seen me once, and asked me if I knew about your contact with Nanshu, I denied it, when Brother Xin returned to Beijing to face the saint, he must bite this to death——"

Li Xin took a few deep breaths and said with a smile: "Your Highness, don't worry, this matter will not implicate you." ”

"It's not for fear of being implicated."

His Royal Highness King Wei smiled bitterly: "It's really because my identity is too sensitive, if the fourth brother knows about it, as long as he does a little bit of work, the whole Wei Wangfu will fall into a place of no return, which is powerful, Brother Xin should be able to think clearly......"

"I understand, I don't blame Your Highness."

Li Xin squinted his eyes and said: "This matter must not involve His Royal Highness, otherwise I will not be able to explain this matter clearly to Your Majesty, only if Your Majesty stays out of the matter, I can make this matter a big ......"

His Royal Highness King Wei hesitated for a moment, and then spoke: "Brother Xin, do you want to kill that person from southern Xinjiang?" ”

He wanted to kill Mu Ying to show his loyalty to the Son of Heaven.

"Naturally, it can't be done."

Li Xin's face was solemn, and he shook his head and said, "Your Highness, we still have to rely on him to get out of this matter-"
