Chengde's words can be said to have pasted a life-saving talisman on Li Xin's body.

Although this general of the Zhu Kingdom has the ability to ignore the words of the Son of Heaven, whether it is worth doing this for the sake of a Li Xin is a question worth pondering.

After listening to the emperor's words, Li Shen bent down slightly, bowed his head to the Son of Chengde and said, "Your Majesty, the remnants of southern Xinjiang are dangerous, and the minister can only try his best to protect Captain Li." ”

Speaking of this, after a pause, he continued: "If Your Majesty is worried about Captain Li's safety, you can go to Southern Xinjiang with another person. ”

Chengde Tianzi narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Young people always need some experience, you can take it boldly, even if he dies in southern Xinjiang, I will not blame you for anything." ”

Li Shen bowed his head and said, "The minister obeys the order." ”

Speaking of this, the Son of Heaven Chengde looked up at the sky, and then said indifferently: "Okay, the hour is not early, I will not delay the general's expedition, I will go to southern Xinjiang to quell the rebellion, the general will put more effort into it, southern Xinjiang has been in turmoil for more than 30 years, and it is a good thing to be born one day earlier." ”

"Minister, you will live up to Your Majesty's high expectations."

The Son of Heaven nodded, returned to the dragon chariot with his hand, and then glanced at the ninth princess who was hiding behind the crowd, and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Jiu, what is your daughter's family, what is it like to come here, why don't you come here quickly?" ”

Ji Lingxiu was so frightened that she hurriedly ran out of the crowd, ran out in a proper manner, and saluted the Son of Chengde: "Father, ......"

The Son of Heaven beckoned to her: "This is not the place for you to stay, go back to the palace with me, you have been moving out for some days, your mother has been thinking about you, go back to the palace with me to see her." ”

Princess Qinghe bowed her head and said, "My daughter obeys the order." ”

As she spoke, she walked up to the dragon chariot and sat beside the Chengde Emperor in a proper manner.

The dragon chariot slowly got up, and the father and daughter went towards the palace.

In the wide dragon chariot, the ninth princess pulled the sleeve of the Chengde Emperor, looked up at her father, and said in a low voice: "Father, there is a war going on in southern Xinjiang, if you send Li Xin, will something happen to him?" ”

Chengde Tianzi glanced at his daughter, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, my ninth princess, has taken a fancy to this young man?" ”

Ji Lingxiu's face turned crimson, and she bowed her head and said, "What did my father say......

"It's just that Li Xin made the food very delicious, and his daughter was afraid that he would die, so she couldn't eat anymore..."

The Son of Heaven reached out and touched Ji Lingxiu's head, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I sent a few internal guards to follow him to southern Xinjiang, and he won't die easily." ”

Speaking of this, the Chengde Heavenly Son smiled and said: "Li Xin is now an eight-rank martial artist, a seventh-rank martial artist, if he stays in the capital, then he will not be qualified to marry you in his life." ”

Princess Qinghe's face was red, and she covered her face with her hands.

"Father, if you talk nonsense again, your daughter will ignore you......"

The Son of Heaven laughed, and the father and daughter drifted apart.

………………

After the chariot of the Son of Heaven walked away, Li Shen returned to his horse, and glanced back at Li Xin and the four or five prison envoys sent by the Imperial Observatory, and his voice was indifferent.

"Listen, Southern Xinjiang is not as dangerous as the capital, it is an extremely dangerous place, those Shu people are fierce, it will definitely be easy to take your life, you have time to stay in the capital now, if you die in Southern Xinjiang, Ben Hou will not be responsible."

On the surface, he was speaking to several prison envoys, but in fact, he was speaking to Li Xin alone.

In any case, Li Xin is his son, and although he is not ready to recognize this son, he does not really want Li Xin to die.

Looking at the current situation, this Li Xin has already thrown himself into the camp of the Son of Heaven, if he goes to southern Xinjiang and really sees something that he shouldn't see, then Li Shen has no choice but to kill people.

Several of the military envoys from Yushitai were all literati, most of them were Jinshi from the top three, and they were already timid, and after listening to Li Shen's words, they didn't react on the surface, and they were trembling in their hearts.

But there is no way, they all received the holy decree like Li Xin, and if they don't go to southern Xinjiang, they will die, although they are afraid, they have to go.

Li Xin didn't hear Li Shen's words.

If he had a choice, he wouldn't be here.

Li Shen didn't look at Li Xin from beginning to end, not because he didn't want to talk to Li Xin, but because there were a few people around Li Xin.

Five people, to be exact.

These five people, all of them are sturdy men, and the leader is more than half a head taller than Li Xin, he bowed his head to Li Xin and clenched his fists, and said in a deep voice: "Internal guard Wang Mo, on the orders of His Majesty, follow the captain along the way." ”

Neiwei and Yulinwei both belong to the Son of Heaven's army, but Neiwei is relatively closer, and they are closer to the Son of Heaven, after all, Neiwei is stationed in the imperial city, while Yulinwei is stationed in Nancheng.

There is a first-class battalion among the internal guards, which is a special lieutenant battalion, because this lieutenant battalion is responsible for the safety of the Son of Heaven, and when the Son of Heaven travels, it is also the captain's battalion that is close to him.

That is, the personal bodyguard of the Son of Heaven.

Although this Jiazi battalion is the establishment of the captain's battalion, they are not only out of the title of the guard, they are called the guards battalion, and even the grade is far more than the captain's battalion.

There are less than 200 people in the Guards Battalion in total, nominally under the Inner Guard, but in fact directly under the jurisdiction of the Son of Heaven, even the people in the Guards Camp are not all born in the Guards, many of them were cultivated by the Ji Family Sect and sent to the palace.

The people in the guards camp can't be said to be top masters, but it's not a problem for one person to fight seven or eight Li Xin.

This self-proclaimed internal guard Wang Mo is one of the two captains of the guard battalion, known as the "black dog", and his official position is the sixth grade, which is two levels higher than Li Xin, who is the seventh rank.

This time, in the guard battalion with a total of less than 200 people, five people were sent by the Son of Heaven, including Wang Mo, one of the two captains, who was also sent out, which shows how much the Son of Heaven attaches importance to Li Xin.

After listening to the big man's self-introduction, Li Xin touched his nose a little embarrassed.

He was born in Yulinwei, and he had conflicts with the internal guard.

Not long ago, he was still scolding the internal guards at Yonganmen for being eunuchs......

Captain Li coughed, and returned the salute with a fist at the big man: "I'm going to Southern Xinjiang, and I ask Brother Wang to take care of me." ”

He knew in his heart that these people were sent by the emperor to protect him, so he couldn't be offended, and what he had to say was still to be said, after all, good words don't cost money, and no matter how he said them, he wouldn't suffer.

A smile appeared on Wang Mo's face: "Captain Li is polite, we both belong to the Forbidden Army of the Son of Heaven, and we should take care of each other." ”

Li Xin followed the five people to get to know each other, and then he coughed again and said to Wang Mo: "Brother Wang, there is something to trouble you." ”

Wang Mo bowed his head and said, "Captain Li, please speak." ”

Although he has a higher official position than Li Xin, he has been ordered by the Son of Heaven, and he still has to respect some of Li Xin's opinions along the way.

Li Xin pointed to the big black horse sent by Princess Qinghe not far away, and touched his nose in embarrassment again.

"That...... Can Brother Wang teach me how to ride a horse? ”
