The Marquis of Jing'an glanced lightly at the young man who was three or four points similar to himself and a little taller than himself, did not speak, just put his hand into his sleeve and slowly sat down in the seat.

He closed his eyes and spoke in a calm tone.

"For the sake of your attitude, I will give you a pillar of incense time, and leave here immediately after speaking."

Speaking of this, he opened his eyes and glanced at Li Shuo, his face expressionless.

"Otherwise, Li Shen will really be the last one."

According to the southwest information that Li Xin has obtained over the years, the young man in front of him, Li Shuo, should be Li Shen's last son.

In other words, if Li Shuo dies, Li Zhijie's separation from the Li clan of Zhao County will be regarded as an incense burner.

As for Li Xin's Jing'an Hou Mansion, legally it has no relationship with the Pingnan Hou Mansion.

As for this blood relationship, it will be drowned in the long river of time after a few decades, and no one will mention it again.

Li Shuo took a deep breath and looked at Li Xin deeply.

"Brother......

Li Xin's face was indifferent and interrupted Li Shuo's speech.

"If you call it that, you can go out now."

Li Shuo's face turned pale, and then he changed his words: "Master Hou......"

"Two years ago, the younger brother went to Mianzhu to visit Hou Ye, and he wanted to talk to Hou Ye all night, but at that time, Hou Ye had a deep prejudice in his heart, and he still had a deep prejudice against Pingnan Houfu, so he just chatted briefly for a word or two, and then left in a hurry."

Speaking of this, Li Shuo said with a wry smile: "Don't hide it from Hou Ye, because I went to Yongzhou to see Hou Ye without permission, after the younger brother returned to the southwest, he was fined fifty lashes and lay on the bed for several months before he could get off the ground." ”

The Marquis of Jing'an slowly stood up from the chair, lowered his eyebrows and said, "Finished?" ”

Li Shuo's face turned pale, shook his head and said, "Little brother still has something to say." ”

"Now Hou Ye can be said to have won a big victory in the southwest, my father can't move in the Sword Pavilion, my father is in a dilemma in Jincheng, and Hou Ye has turned the southwest upside down with his own strength."

(The eldest father should mean "grandfather" in the Ming Dynasty, but because Li Shuo's adoptive father is Li Yan and his biological father is Li Shen, so it is shouted here, everyone understands... ）

Li Xin glanced at Li Shuo and said lightly: "Then what?" ”

Li Shuo took a deep breath, his tone trembling.

"Brother, it's almost okay......"

Li Shuo is two years younger than Li Xin, he is only eighteen years old at this time, he bowed deeply to Li Xin, and his tone was sincere: "Brother, the matter has come to this point, the bones of that brother in the capital are already cold, the eldest father's wife is in the Pingnan General's Mansion, and she is often crazy, there are hundreds of thousands of people in the Pingnan army, tens of thousands of people have died, and everyone else is infamous as a thief!" ”

"Two generations of my grandfather and eldest father, the Pingnan Hou Mansion, which has been run for more than 30 years, has now been shattered, and only a framework remains."

When Li Shuo said this, he knelt directly in front of Li Xin and kowtowed deeply.

He was trembling all over.

"Brother, when things come here, how much resentment do you have in your heart, you should vent it cleanly, right?"

Li Xin was unmoved, just glanced at Li Shuo who was kneeling on the ground.

"You're not me, how do you know how much resentment I have in my heart?"

"You must have heard about my mother many times, she has been kind to me for fifteen years, and I have just grown up, and she is gone, and when she dies, she weighs less than sixty pounds."

The Marquis of Jing'an was expressionless.

"You say, how heavy the resentment in my heart should be."

Li Shuo wept and said, "Brother, the Pingnan Hou Mansion has already arrived with human lives." ”

"What does that have to do with me?"

Li Xin grabbed Li Shuo's front placket, picked him up directly, and said coldly: "Do you think that stupid thing Li Chun was killed by me?" ”

"I tell you, I wanted to kill him, but alas, he didn't die at my hands."

"The southwest has developed to the current situation, and you still naively think that I am the only one who is promoting this matter?"

"Three years ago, I was still a commoner in the capital who was about to freeze to death, how capable do I have to push the Pingnan Hou Mansion to this desperate situation in only three years?"

The Marquis of Jing'an casually threw Li Shuo aside, and said in a deep voice: "Let me tell you, the matter is up to now, it is the cause planted by Li Zhijie, the Marquis of Pingnan, that has brought about today's fruit, as for me, you can understand it as the fuse." ”

Speaking of this, Li Xin laughed at himself: "I almost forgot, you may not understand what is called a fuse." ”

"All in all, the situation that has come to this point is indeed something that I single-handedly promoted, but I can't pull it back, do you understand?"

"Besides, I don't want to pull it back."

"From beginning to end, I just wanted to settle accounts with Li Shen alone, but he stood on top of the big house of Pingnanhou Mansion, standing too high, I couldn't touch him."

Li Xin said expressionlessly: "So, I want to demolish this house first." ”

"I can't do it alone."

"Fortunately, there is another family who also wants to demolish this house, and they have been thinking about it for more than 30 years, so I joined them and demolished the first tile of this house by the way."

"And so the house began to fall apart."

A mocking smile appeared at the corner of Li Xin's mouth.

"Do you understand what I say?"

Li Shuo knelt on the ground, his body trembling slightly.

"I don't know if Li Shen asked you to come, or if you wanted to come yourself, but one thing you have to understand, to this day, I, Li Xin, died here suddenly, and there will not be a few living people in your Pingnan Army, that family has hated the Pingnan Army for more than 30 years, and this war to conquer the west is a matter of time."

Li Shuo cried for a while, slowly raised his head, and glanced at Li Xin.

"Brother, if you withdraw from Mianzhu now, the rest of the Pingnan Army will still have a way to live......

"And if there is a glimmer of room in the southwest, there will be no rabbits and dead dogs, and my brother can always have the right to speak in the imperial court."

Li Xin smiled coldly.

"I believe now that you came by yourself, not Li Shen who asked you to come."

"What is the reason for my withdrawal from Mianzhu now?"

Li Shuo was speechless.

Indeed, Li Xin now has no reason to withdraw from Mianzhu, even if he issues this military order, the people below are estimated to have opinions.

It doesn't make sense that everyone used their lives to beat down the Mianzhu, and they said that they would let it go.

Li Shuo stopped talking.

He came over this time to persuade Li Xin and leave some leeway for both sides, but it was obvious that the Marquis of Jing'an didn't want to pay attention to him.

He was silent for a long time, and finally still knelt on the ground, bowed his head and said, "Brother, what if the eldest father is willing to die to settle the old grudge in your heart......"

"It's too late."

Li Xin said without hesitation: "Three years ago, when I first entered the capital, if your Li family had this attitude, this beam would be unraveled. ”

"But it's too late."

Li Xin's face was expressionless: "In my life, I didn't live completely for hatred. ”

"Things have come to this point, it is the imperial court that wants to pacify the southwest, I can't go against the will of the imperial court, I still have to live in the future, and I have to gain a foothold in the court."

Speaking of this, Li Xin glanced at the young man kneeling in front of him. said lightly: "Although you are not very smart, but the entire Li family, you alone are still a little bit like you." ”

"When I first entered the capital, I was young and ignorant, which annoyed the first emperor, and I was almost killed at that time, and at that time Jingzhao Yin Li Ye told me that it was the identity of the Pingnan Hou Mansion that saved me."

"At that time, I told him that I would give back the Li family's life."

Speaking of this, Li Xin glanced at Li Shuo.

"Come to Jincheng to break the city, I will find a way to save your life."
