After discussing with Li Xin for half an hour, the Seventh Prince took advantage of the night to leave.

Early the next morning, Li Xin got up from the post station, did not rush to set off, but stood for an hour, and waited until the sun was rising, and then began to lead the team towards the capital.

Wang Zhong, the old lieutenant, rode on a green horse and followed behind Li Xin, wanting to ask something, but finally shook his head.

Although he didn't recognize who the person who came last night was, he could guess that it was a big man in the capital by looking at the mount, and he could let such a big man come over in the middle of the night, which meant that something must have happened in the capital.

Above the court, the waves are treacherous, it's not a martial artist like him who can interfere, on archery, horse riding and archery, fist and foot kung fu Wang Zhong is confident that he will not lose to anyone, but he knows very little about these things in the court.

Now Yu Linwei has no big car, the speed is a lot faster, twenty or thirty miles away, only one morning, by noon, he has already seen the gate of the capital.

More than 300 Yulinlang gathered at the north gate, Li Xin turned around, and said in a deep voice to these Yulinwei young men behind him: "We have been in a group for several months, the brothers have worked hard, and now they have returned to the capital to go home for three days to rest, and after three days, they will assemble in the Yulinwei camp. ”

These Yu Linwei are not very old, and they have really suffered a lot all the way with Li Xin, and they are all overjoyed when they hear it, and they disperse with a roar.

"Thank you, Captain Li!"

After everyone dispersed, Li Xin was left with only Wang Zhong and Mu Ying, Li Xin arched his hand at Wang Zhong: "Master Wang, you have worked hardest all the way, now that we are in the capital, you can go back and rest and rest." ”

Wang Zhong has no family in the capital, and he lives in the Yulinwei camp on weekdays, so he nodded when he heard the words, and said: "This journey is nearly three months, and you owe the old man a hundred catties of liquor." ”

Li Xin smiled: "Master Wang, don't worry, I'll send it to you when I turn around." ”

Wang Zhong shook his head and sighed, and patted Li Xin on the shoulder.

"Be careful yourself."

After saying that, he went into the city on his own.

Now, Li Xin is the only one left by his side, Mu Ying.

Senior Lieutenant Li looked back at the black-faced brother and said straight to the point: "Brother Mu, your identity has been exposed. ”

Mu Ying's face changed, and finally exhaled slowly: "How was it exposed?" ”

"It was the Pingnan Hou Mansion that reported to the Son of Heaven, and there must be a spy of the Li family in your southern Xinjiang."

After Mu Ying took a deep breath, she rarely calmed down and said, "What do you want me to do?" ”

Li Xin said bluntly: "Now Brother Mu has two ways to go, the first is to get on the horse now, and the farther you run, the better......"

Before Li Xin finished speaking, Mu Ying had already turned over the jujube red horse very neatly, and hugged his fist at Li Xin: "The green mountains do not change, the green water flows forever, Captain Li, let-"

Before he could say a word, Li Xin, who had a black line on his face, coughed and interrupted him: "It's just that if Brother Mu leaves at this time, the imperial court will most likely send a sea fishing document to arrest you, and if you are caught by the imperial court, it will be a situation of ten deaths." ”

Mu Ying jumped off the horse in an orderly manner.

"What about the second way?"

The capital is thousands of miles away from southern Xinjiang, and there is no post station to change horses along the way, if the imperial court really sends a document for sea fishing, then all the towns along the way can not go, and if you want to avoid the past, you can only escape to the deep mountains and old forests.

Li Xin's face became serious, and he said, "The second way is to enter the city with me and wait for the summons of the Son of Heaven." ”

Mu Ying sighed: "How many deaths and how many lives?" ”

"I don't know."

Li Xin shook his head and said honestly: "But one thing can be guaranteed, we will live and die together." ”

Hearing this, Mu Ying nodded without hesitation.

"Okay, I'll go into town with you."

The two of them got on the horse and walked into the capital, and after the two of them returned to Datongfang, Li Xin took a shower and changed into a dress of Yu Linwei, and said to Mu Ying: "You are waiting here, if the Son of Heaven wants to see you, he should come here to pass on you." ”

Although on weekdays, Mu Ying had the intention of looking down on the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, but when it came to the end, he was still a little timid, and said in a panic: "The emperor of the Ji family asked me, what should I say?" ”

"Say whatever you don't want to say."

After Li Xin hurriedly gave a few words, he left for the palace.

In the afternoon, Li Xin rushed to the gate of the inner palace of the imperial city to meet the Son of Heaven.

This time he didn't wait too long, and soon a eunuch came over and led him to Changle Palace.

This is Li Xin's fourth time facing the saint, and this time is more critical than the previous three times, because as long as he says the wrong word this time, his little life will be explained here.

In the study of Changle Palace, Li Xin knelt on the ground in a proper manner: "Minister Li Xin, knock to see Your Majesty." ”

The Son of Heaven in Chengde put down the red pen in his hand and glanced at Li Xin lightly: "I haven't come back for so long, I thought you went to southern Xinjiang." ”

After all, he is the supreme son of heaven, and it is just the simplest preemptive voice, which makes Li Xin a little afraid.

"I don't dare."

"You stand up and speak."

Li Xin got up from the ground and stood with his hands down.

The emperor of Chengde glanced at Li Xin up and down, and said with a smile: "I went to the north, but it was a lot darker, but it was good if it was dark, I used to look a little sick." ”

Li Xin sweated on his forehead.

"Thank you Your Majesty for your concern."

Chengde Tianzi squinted his eyes and talked to Li Xin about a few common words, Li Xin answered them one by one, and suddenly His Majesty the Emperor said coldly: "Lao Qi has seen you?" ”

Li Xin only hesitated for a moment, then bowed his head and admitted: "I've seen it." ”

It is unlikely that the movement of the Seventh Prince out of Beijing will be able to hide from His Majesty the Emperor, and there is no point in lying on this kind of issue, so Li Xin is very honest.

"What did he say to you?"

Li Xin bowed his head, and after a little consideration, he said: "His Royal Highness the King of Wei said to his ministers that Li Yan, the squire of the military department, wrote to me to collude with southern Xinjiang and kill me, and His Royal Highness asked me to be careful after entering Beijing. ”

"Your Highness also said, Your Majesty, you want to see the minister, so as soon as the minister entered the capital, he immediately went to the palace to face the saint."

Chengde Tianzi clapped his hands and said with a smile: "The relationship between the two of you is really not shallow, so that he can run to remind you at this time." ”

"It's His Highness who can afford to be a micro-minister."

The smile on Chengde Tianzi's face suddenly retracted, and he slapped the table fiercely: "Do you think I'm praising you?" As my prison envoy, what is your intention in meeting with the rebels during your time in southern Xinjiang? ”

Li Xin sighed, knelt on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty Mingjian, it was the thieves in southern Xinjiang who kidnapped Weichen, not that the ministers wanted to see them. ”

Speaking of this, Li Xin paused: "At this point, Brother Wang Mo and they can also testify." ”

Chengde Tianzi laughed angrily: "So, the captain of my guards battalion also followed you to hide it from me?" ”

Li Xin shook his head and said: "Brother Wang Mo, they don't know who the person who kidnapped me is, and then those thieves sent me back, in order not to implicate them, the minister didn't explain the situation to Brother Wang Mo and them." ”

Chengde Tianzi thought for a moment, squinted his eyes and asked, "Then what is the explanation of the Shu man next to you?" ”

"He's a line of communication between the thieves."

The Son of Heaven was furious and slapped the table fiercely: "You still said that you didn't collude with the thief!" ”

Li Xin shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, the remnants of Nanshu are already spring ice and autumn insects, and they can't become the climate, and the minister has no reason to collude with these dying people, and the reason why the minister wants to contact them is to one day avenge his own personal vendetta." ”

"Personal vendetta?"

Li Xin bowed his head and said: "The Pingnan Hou Mansion has a great grudge with the ministers, but the Li family has such a big power, and the ministers can't move them, so they think about leaving a line in southern Xinjiang, and in the future, they may be able to take revenge on the Pingnan Hou Mansion from this line." ”

Speaking of this, Li Xin kowtowed and said: "No matter what, the remnants of Nanshu are all anti-thieves of the Great Jin Dynasty, and it is an indisputable fact that the ministers have contact with the anti-thieves because of their own personal grudges. ”

Chengde Tianzi looked at Li Xin coldly.

"Where is that Shu man?"

"At this moment, he is waiting for the decree at the minister's house."
