On the surface, the rebellion of the Pingnan Army this time was a rebellion by the Li family.

But at the root of it, it is actually the struggle of the Northern Zhou clan, which began to decline more than 30 years ago.

More than 30 years ago, that reckless man took the forbidden army and pushed all the way, first stabbing the huge and cumbersome Northern Zhou through it, and then it took a few years to completely send the Northern Zhou who paid tribute to the world into the grave.

From that time on, the decline of the clan was inevitable.

It's just that the power of the world clan was too huge at that time, and even the martial emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty didn't dare to uproot the clan in one go, so he could only choose to suppress and weaken the power of the clan little by little, boiling frogs in warm water.

For more than thirty years, two generations of Son of Heaven, the influence and power of the clan fell to the freezing point, so they began to fight to the death, wanting to take advantage of the opportunity in the southwest to turn over.

Looking at the overall situation, the starting point of the chaos in the southwest was that various localities began to lie about the disaster, and then publicized the immorality of the Son of Heaven, and finally attacked the Son of Heaven for stealing the country.

These are the handiwork of the family.

However, in the face of the rolling trend, all efforts are in vain.

Taikang Tianzi is the last gravedigger to dig the graves of these clans, and the current Li Xin is the shovel in the hands of Taikang Tianzi.

Just like Li Xin said, if you are willing to gamble and lose, you must admit that you have lost the bet, and if you lose the gamble, you will be chopped off and punished as you deserve.

Li Shidao's emotions were a little excited.

He slapped the table with a trembling right hand, and roared: "My Zhaojun Li clan has more than 2,000 people in Jincheng, where do you let them go, go into the deep mountains to be natives!" ”

"As long as you can live, you can do anything."

Li Shen took a deep breath and slowly spoke: "Uncle, so far, whether it is you or me, you have to recognize the situation clearly, I can still protect my family out of the city to find a way out, but after a while, when Ye Ming arrives at Jincheng City, whether it is my family or me, I will have no chance to go out of the city." ”

Speaking of this, Li Shen closed his eyes.

"You still have a chance to live, but I don't have a chance."

Li Shidao's face turned red.

But it's no use getting angry.

It took an unknown amount of time before he gritted his teeth.

"The old man went to Mianzhu to meet that Li Changan!"

Li Shen shook his head and opened his eyes.

"He may not meet his uncle, and even if he does, it will be of no use."

Li Shidao gritted his teeth and said: "Speaking of details, the old man is his sect master, how can he not see me?" ”

"That Marquis of Jing'an, he speaks very powerfully."

Li Shen was no longer ready to dissuade Li Shidao, but said indifferently: "Uncle will go if he goes, just be calm and don't be angry." ”

"Come back early, my uncle will take the Zhao County Li family out of the city to find a place to go."

Li Shidao glanced at Li Shen, and finally brushed his sleeves away.

Li Shen sat in his study, stunned for a long time, and finally sighed and slowly stood up.

He didn't deal with the military affairs of the Pingnan Army anymore, but walked to the backyard of the Pingnan General's Mansion, and in the backyard, he saw Mrs. Yu who was embroidering in the room.

Mrs. Yu is a lady from the Zheng family in Xingyang, and she was also a gentle and virtuous person when she was young, but because she had to take care of the huge Pingnanhou Mansion in the capital, she couldn't help but gradually become powerful.

There is no way, in the capital, if you are not powerful, others will eat you.

Now, with Li Shen in charge, Mrs. Yu is hiding in the backyard and being her own little woman with peace of mind.

Li Shen sat next to Mrs. Yu and glanced at the embroidered cloth in her hand, on which was embroidered a big fat boy who was white and chubby.

General Zhu Guoda was silent in his heart, knowing that she was thinking about her son.

At this moment, Mrs. Yu also put down the embroidery cloth in her hand and glanced at her husband lightly.

"Master Hou is busy with the things ahead?"

Li Shen nodded and sighed slightly.

"I'm done."

A smile appeared on Mrs. Yu's face, and she said: "It's rare that Hou Ye is idle today, the concubine has recently learned a new dish from Shudi, and I will make it for Hou Ye to taste." ”

With that, she got up and went to the kitchen.

Li Shen grabbed her sleeve and shook her head slowly: "Don't go to work." ”

The Great General of the Pillar Kingdom let out a long sigh.

"Ayu, sit with me."

Mrs. Yu responded obediently, sat down beside Li Shen, and held her husband's hand.

She said softly: "Hou Ye has encountered something?" ”

Originally, as a man encountering this kind of problem, Li Shen subconsciously wanted to shake his head in denial at this time, but I don't know why, seeing Mrs. Yu's sincere eyes, Li Shen hesitated for a moment, and nodded his head in a ghostly manner.

"Something happened."

Mrs. Yu held Li Shen's hand in her hands with two hands, and her voice was gentle: "Is it a big deal?" ”

"It's huge."

General Zhu Guo held his wife's hand and laughed at himself: "It's so big that I can't bear it." ”

"The concubine's body will be carried with the Hou Ye."

Mrs. Yu lay in Li Shen's arms and said softly: "We have all come over with strong winds and waves, and we will also pass this time." ”

Li Shen patted her on the back, and his tone was a little gloomy.

"What if I can't get by?"

"Then the concubine will die with the Hou Ye."

At this time, Mrs. Yu no longer had the fierceness she had when she was in the capital, she stretched out her hand to wipe her tears, gritted her teeth and said: "Chun'er is gone, if it weren't for the Hou Ye, the concubine would have gone with him." ”

Li Shen gently patted her back with his hand and didn't speak again.

Mrs. Yu cried in Li Shen's arms for a while, then raised her head and glanced at Li Shen, her voice trembling slightly.

"Master Hou, is that Li Xin?"

Li Shen glanced down at Madam Yu and frowned, "You know? ”

"The concubine body is also living in Jincheng, how can she not know."

Mrs. Yu lowered her eyebrows and said: "I heard a few days ago that that Li Xin led the troops into Mianzhu, and Mianzhu is on the edge of Jincheng, and the concubine still knows it." ”

Li Shen sighed slightly.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

A man's weakest time is probably when he can't protect his family.

Now Li Shen has this sense of powerlessness.

He lowered his eyebrows and said, "Ayu, in a few days, the uncle of the Li family will go out of the city, and then you will go with him, and after you settle down in a new place, I will look for you again after a while." ”

Madame Jade shook her head firmly.

"I'm right here, not going anywhere."

Her eyes were red, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Master Hou, don't want to leave me." ”

The Marquis of Pingnan sighed again and did not speak.

After Mrs. Yu cried for a while, she suddenly remembered something, she looked up at her husband, and said, "Master Hou......"

Li Shen bowed his head: "What's wrong?" ”

"There's one thing I've been hiding from you."

Li Shen said softly: "You say." ”

"That Li Xin, when he first entered the capital, I actually felt sorry for him."

Madam Yu bit her lip and said, "At that time, the concubine was a little annoyed that the Hou Ye had a woman outside, and when he came to the house to look for relatives, the concubine kicked him out. ”

"Later, the concubine also had his residence outside the city burned."

"These things, the concubine concealed them from the Hou Ye, and she didn't dare to say ......"

General Zhu Guo smiled slightly: "I know all this." ”

Mrs. Yu wept and said: "He is like this now, most of the time he has always hated me, Hou Ye is now sending me to Mianzhu to kill him to avenge him, after all, he is Hou Ye's son, and most likely he will not embarrass Hou Ye." ”

Li Shen smiled.

"Madame underestimated me."

"Li Shen has done a lot of bad things over the years, but he hasn't been a villain to that point."
