On the way back, Xue Zichuan couldn't stand the bumps and hired a carriage by himself, Li Xin did not sit with this dying man, but rode on the dark cloud horse given to him by the ninth princess, stunned.

Li Xin originally estimated that this trip to southern Xinjiang would take at least three months or even half a year, but to his surprise, counting the time to travel back and forth, the sum of the time before and after did not exceed two months.

But in these two months, Li Xin gained a lot of things, including his understanding of Southern Xinjiang and the dark line that could contact Li Xing, a remnant of Southern Shu, but these were not the most important, the most important of them was that he began to truly understand what the upper echelons of this era were like.

In the past, Li Xin was somewhat pretentious and felt smarter than anyone else, but after this incident, he found that he was not the smartest person, not to mention anything else, just Li Shen, the general of the Pillar State of the current dynasty, saw things several steps farther than him.

This is not surprising.

In fact, in many situations in history, smart people confront smart people, in this case, the practical use of conspiracy and trickery is not much, because these small means, the other party can generally see that at this level, what is really useful is the conspiracy, is the general trend.

It's the kind of lethal method that you can see at a glance, but there is no way to deal with it.

Conspiracy and conspiracy are the difference between art and Tao.

The original Li Xin, although he has been up and down in the workplace for many years, but limited to his vision, he has always stayed at the level of surgery.

It's an amazing feeling.

Southern Xinjiang, Beijing, Pingnan Marquis' Mansion, Wei Wang's Mansion, etc., the context of many characters gradually became clear in Li Xin's mind, and he began to try to look back a few more steps as Li Shen said.

On the way back to the capital, Li Xin often sat on the big black horse in a daze, and no one knew what he was thinking.

As the days passed, the group of people got closer and closer to the capital, and one afternoon in mid-May, a group of seven people finally arrived at the south gate of the capital.

There was no one at the south gate to greet them.

In a place like the capital, petty officials like Li Xin and Xue Zichuan can hit at least three or four of them with a rod on the street, and the other few may be the hall officials of the sixth department.

These little shrimps may be able to have some power in the local area, but they are too inconspicuous in the capital.

Take Li Xin as an example, it is estimated that the Seven Princes in the capital can think of it to greet him, but the identity of the Seven Princes is a little sensitive, and it is unlikely that they will come to the South City Gate to greet him, the captain of the Seven Grades.

At the gate of the South City Gate, Wang Mo and the others turned over and dismounted, bent over and clenched their fists at Li Xin: "Captain Li, the capital has arrived, and our brother's responsibility has been fulfilled. ”

Li Xin hurriedly dismounted and saluted the servants of the Son of Heaven in these guard battalions.

"Thank you for the protection of a few big brothers along the way, we are both guards, nothing will happen in a few days, little brother find a place and invite you brothers to drink."

Southern Xinjiang and his party, in addition to others, Li Xin also had a harvest is to know these internal guards, they have come this way, they are born and died, and Li Xin is quite polite to these internal guards, and now they have treated Li Xin as their own brothers.

After returning to the capital, the dark clouds that had been pressing on everyone's hearts dispersed a lot, and Wang Mohe, who was not smiling, laughed: "Captain Li's words made me wait, I was supposed to protect Captain Li along the way, but along the way, it became Captain Li to protect us." ”

Li Xin also smiled: "Protection can't be said, it's just a matter of helping each other in the same boat." ”

Wang Mo bowed his head and said: "In this case, I will say goodbye first, and when I am free, I will definitely get together with Captain Li." ”

Li Xin took a step forward, patted the big man's shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Brother Wang, remember what I said, don't take the initiative to say what you shouldn't say, it's harmful." ”

Wang Mo now trusts Li Xin very much, and said silently when he heard this: "Brother Li, don't worry, as long as Your Majesty doesn't ask, I won't say anything." ”

Li Xin nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Tomorrow, I will enter the palace to present the documents of the prison army, and after I face the saint tomorrow, there should be no danger." ”

Wang Mo clenched his fists again: "Thank you, Brother Li." ”

After that, this big man took the internal guards of the most guards battalion, turned over his horse again, and walked in the direction of the imperial city of the capital.

They are different from Li Xin, Li Xin rushed to southern Xinjiang on the orders of the imperial court to return to the imperial court, while Wang Mo and others directly served the will of the Son of Chengde, so as long as they returned to Beijing, they must rush back to the palace to resume their lives.

After sending Wang Mo away, Li Xin turned his head to look at the carriage not far away, wanting to say something to that Xue Yushi, but finally shook his head and did not speak.

Now, this Xue Yushi is full of spirit, thinking that he is a heroic and unyielding hero who has penetrated deep into the enemy camp, and is ready to overthrow Li Shen, the powerful minister of the country, tomorrow, so as to become famous all over the world, become a famous minister of the Chengde Dynasty, and then be promoted to become rich.

At this time, if Li Xin went up to persuade him to say good things about Li Shen, most of them would be sprayed with dog blood by him, and then scold Li Xin for being a gutless bandit!

Maybe he will write Li Xin's despicable deeds into his own book in private, so that Li Xin will be stinking for 10,000 years.

Medicine does not kill the disease.

This kind of person, damn it, Li Xin can't save him.

Thinking of this, Li Xin arched his hand at the carriage and said indifferently: "Xue Yushi, we have arrived in the capital, and we have also reached the time of separation, Xue Yushi take care, and see you again in the future." ”

The curtain of the carriage was opened by Xue Zichuan, and the thin scholar glanced at Li Xin with a smile, stretched out his hand and stroked his beard, and smiled proudly: "Where does Captain Li live and what yamen does he do, you might as well say that you can listen to Brother Wei now, and if Brother Wei is promoted by luck, you can take care of Brother Li." ”

The two of them have been walking together for two or three months, and Xue Zichuan still doesn't know where Li Xin is doing, and the reason why he asks Li Xin now is just to pretend to be a force.

Li Xin shook his head: "No need, I am a military attaché below, and it has nothing to do with Xue Yushi, so I'll see you in the future." ”

After that, Li Xin no longer paid attention to this imperial historian, but rode his big dark horse and walked slowly in the direction of Datongfang.

In the capital, horses are not allowed to run on the street, and horses are not allowed to ride in the square, which is the rule of the Great Jin Dynasty.

However, some of the yamen don't like to pay attention to this rule.

When the sun was about to set, Li Xin, who was sitting on the big black horse, walked to Datongfang, and after entering the door, Li Xin turned over and dismounted, took the big black horse in his hand, and walked towards his yard.

After approaching his yard, Li Xin found a purple sedan chair parked at the gate of the courtyard.

A tall young man walked down from the sedan chair, this young man was dressed in a green robe, and smiled at Li Xin.

"Brother Xin, is my dark cloud horse still comfortable to ride?"
