With a bunch of tails behind him, to be honest, it is not too much of a problem, after all, as long as he leaves the capital, or says that he is within the scope of Jingzhao Mansion, Shen Gang and the others will naturally follow Li Xin secretly, and at that time, Xie Dai's more than 100 people will basically not pose any threat to Li Xin.

When they reach the southwest border, the life and death of Xie Dai and others will be in the hands of Li Xin.

However, Li Xin still has some feelings for Yu Linwei, and he admires this young man of the Xie family, Xie Dai, so he is not ready to embarrass these Yu Linlang, so he treats it as a group of guards with him.

Originally, it took about half a month to ride a horse from the capital to the southwest, but Li Xin was in a carriage, and the speed of the carriage was far inferior to that of a horse, so it took them nearly a month to reach the southwest after they set off from the capital.

At this time, it was already April of the ninth year of Taikang, and the spring flowers had withered.

Li Xin and others entered Shu from Hanzhong, and then arrived at the Sword Pavilion.

They stopped at the Jianmen Pass.

Jianmen Pass is a valley like being split by a sharp sword, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is the most solid gateway to Shu since ancient times, but at this time Jianmen Pass has changed flags, and a big "Li" character flag is swaying in the wind on the Guancheng.

Xie Dai stood behind Li Xin, looked at the Li Ziqi on the city wall, and glanced at Li Xin in disbelief.

The Marquis of Jing'an felt the gaze of this goods, and looked at him angrily.

"This is the Li of the Chenghan royal family, not my Li."

Xie Dai wiped the sweat from his forehead, lowered his head and said, "Master Hou, do you need to go down to the official to open and close the door?" ”

Li Xin shook his head slightly: "No, let's wait here for a while, someone will come to pick us up in a while." ”

Li Shuo, who had already taken off his cotton robe and changed into a single coat, stood behind Li Xin, and also looked at Jianmen Pass.

When the Hanzhou army attacked the Sword Pavilion, he also had people under him, and later a part of the men were stationed in Jianmen Pass, and when he left the southwest to go to the capital, these people were still in Jianmen Pass, and they should also be there at this time.

At this time, Shen Gang and the others had already reported to Jianmen Pass early, Li Xin didn't wait long, Jianmen Pass closed the door and opened widely, Mu Ying, who was dressed in black armor, led more than 100 people to come out to greet Li Xin.

At the same time, there were dozens of people dressed in Pingnan military uniforms, led by an old man in his fifties, who also came out to greet Li Xin and the others.

Mu Ying and the others dismounted in front of Li Xin, and then walked in front of Li Xin, first glanced at Xie Dai and the others, and then hugged his fists at Li Xin and said: "It turned out that the Marquis of Jing'an came to the southwest, and he was disappointed." ”

The old man who followed him was Li Chuan, the deputy general of the former Pingnan Army, who was born in the Li family of Zhao County, and had been by Li Shen's side for more than ten years, after the destruction of Jincheng, he had been assisting Li Shuo in taking care of the Pingnan Army, and he didn't say anything after he came out, just walked in front of Li Shuo, and after asking a few questions in a low voice, he stood behind Li Shuo without saying a word.

Li Xin smiled: "I haven't seen you for a few years, why is Brother Mu so much alive?" ”

"You still have the face to say!"

General Mu raised his head and snorted coldly: "It was you at the beginning, on behalf of the Great Jin Imperial Court, and the alliance with us, and agreed to give Hanzhou to me and other remnants of Nanshu to recuperate after conquering Jincheng, but now in less than five years, the Great Jin Imperial Court has rebelled and sent troops to attack my Hanzhou Mansion!" ”

"Hanzhou City has fought hard, and our department has suffered heavy casualties!"

"Now that I've thought about it, I will no longer respect your emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, and I want to restore the Han Dynasty, it's useless for anyone to talk about it, and you Jing'an Marquis won't do it!"

Li Xin was still smiling.

"Brother Mu doesn't need to be in such a hurry, I'll wait until I enter the city, and then talk about it slowly."

General Mu held his head high, extremely arrogant.

"Then let's go."

Soon, Li Xin and others entered Jianmen Pass, after passing through Jianmen Pass, they arrived at Jiange County behind Jianmen Pass, and after entering the city, Xie Dai and others were placed in a large courtyard, Li Shuo followed Li Chuan and others back to the Pingnan Army station, and Li Xin followed Mu Ying into Jiange County Ya to "negotiate".

In the Jiange County Yali, Mu Ying set up a table of banquets and sat opposite Li Xin, he stretched out his hand to Li Xin and got a glass of wine, and laughed: "Master Hou, my acting skills are very good, right?" ”

When Shen Gang and others came to deliver a message to him, they specially instructed Li Xin to have people from the imperial court around him, so Mu Ying acted in front of Xie Dai and others according to Li Xin's words, and there was the scene just now.

Li Xin drank the water and wine in front of him and glanced up at Mu Ying.

"Slightly pompous."

General Mu himself drank a glass of wine and grinned: "If you want me to say, you don't need to act for those people, you can kill things with one sword, and we don't need to be afraid of anyone in the southwest." ”

Li Xin said lightly: "Those are all Yu Linwei, and some of them are still the old people of you and me when Yu Linwei, you go and kill them?" ”

After Wang Zhong retired from Yulinwei, the left and right battalions of Yulinwei were under the control of Xie Dai, and the more than 100 people he brought out, dozens of them were from Yulinwei's left battalion, and some of them were old people named by Li Xin, of course, it was not easy to kill.

Mu Ying shrank her head, shook her head and said, "Then don't kill it, fool around, let them go back to the capital." ”

He toasted Li Xin with a glass of wine, and said with a smile: "By the way, Master Hou, how did you leave the capital, a few days ago, Mr. You'an and I also mentioned Master Hou, Mr. You'an said that Master Hou may not be able to leave the capital in the next few years." ”

Li Xin put down the wine glass in his hand and said quietly: "I told the emperor that I could help him settle the affairs of the southwest, and he let me out." ”

General Mu's eyes widened.

"I don't believe this, but the cautious emperor will?"

Li Xin nodded.

"He believed."

Li Xin was silent for a while, and spat out a mouthful of wine.

"Or rather, he can't help it if he doesn't believe it."

Mu Ying couldn't understand the complicated relationship for a while, and he didn't embarrass himself, he poured wine for Li Xin and himself, and said with a smile: "No matter what, it's a good thing that Master Hou can come out, and I don't have to suffer from their Ji family's bird anger in the future!" ”

"When will I take the eldest princess and my pair of nephews and nieces over, Master Hou, you will settle down in the southwest, and don't go back to the capital to see his Ji Wen's face and live!"

The real name of Taikang Tianzi, before he ascended the throne, few people shouted it, and since he ascended the throne, even fewer people dare to mention it, that is, in this southwest land, Mu Ying can mention this name unscrupulously.

Li Xin shook his head helplessly.

"My affairs have to be discussed in the long run, so let's not mention them for the time being, let's discuss the affairs of the southwest."

He took a sip of wine and asked, "Where is Zhao Jia now?" ”

"In Jincheng."

Mu Ying said with a smile: "Mr. You'an is in charge of the overall situation in Jincheng, so I will be an errand runner and guard the Sword Pavilion here." ”

Li Xin nodded and continued to ask: "What is the attitude of the southwestern state capitals towards the Hanzhou Army?" ”

Speaking of this matter, Mu Ying's face was a little unpleasant.

"Most of them don't support it, they feel that even the Pingnan Army can't divide the southwest, and our Hanzhou Army of tens of thousands of people will naturally not succeed."

"It's a pity that we have too few troops, and we can't divide our troops to the state capitals, otherwise they won't be able to accept it."

Li Xin groaned for a while and spoke slowly.

"Therefore, we must find a way to integrate Li Shuo's people into the Hanzhou Army."
