As Mu Ying said, it wasn't until almost sunset, Zhao Jia, who was dressed in white and had just finished handling government affairs, came to the Shu Mansion to find Li Xin, at this time Mu Ying was no longer at home, Zhao Jia saw Li Xin in the backyard of the Shu Palace, at this time Li Xin had already set up a chess game, and after seeing Zhao Jia, he smiled and pointed to the opposite of himself.

"Why did Brother You'an come, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Zhao Jia said angrily: "It's not you, you have thrown all the affairs of dozens of state capitals in the entire southwest on my head as the commander of Liyang County, and I am busy every day, and it is not easy to get out at this time." ”

Zhao Jia is a few years older than Li Xin, and he is already in his thirties at this time, because he has been running around in the past few years and worrying about it, so he looks a lot older, and even has a few white hairs on his head.

He sat down opposite Li Xin, looked at the chess game on the table, and shook his head: "Master Hou can't play me again." ”

The two of them were playing chess, and as soon as Zhao Jia's voice fell, Li Xin had already taken the first step, and said with a smile: "I can't play until I play, and Master Ye couldn't play me back then, and it's not like pulling me every day for half a day." ”

Zhao Jia casually moved, then looked left and right, frowned, and said, "Why don't you see Mu Ying?" ”

"He."

While moving the chess pieces, the Marquis of Jing'an said casually: "Go kill someone." ”

Saying that, Li Xin reacted and corrected: "It's not right, before the matter of Meihuawei is resolved, he shouldn't leave Jincheng, and he should be preparing to kill people at this time." ”

Zhao Jia frowned.

"Who is he going to kill?"

"Kill these disobedient people in the southwest, I want to rectify the forces in the southwest, and I can't allow Brother You'an to take his time."

Zhao Jia is a smart person, Li Xin said this, he already understood what Mu Ying was going to do, and the face of this Jincheng Mansion was immediately a little unpleasant.

"The integration of the southwest, I have been doing it for the past two years, even if the Hou Ye doesn't discuss it with me, he should inform me."

He didn't even play chess, and just stood up.

"Most of the southwestern provinces have fallen to Jincheng, and the rest is just a matter of time, at most half a year ......"

"Mu Ying hasn't left Jincheng yet, and she hasn't started yet, aren't I discussing with Brother You'an?"

Li Xin was still sitting in his position, and he ate Zhao Jia's son without changing his face, and said with a smile: "Besides, Brother You'an is a compassionate person, and if you discuss it with Brother You'an, this matter is estimated to be delayed for a while, but now Mu Ying is still in Jincheng and has never done anything, Brother You'an wants to save people, and there is still a chance." ”

"The remaining stubborn people in the southwest, Brother You'an can write a letter to them, if they still don't listen, the Shu Wangfu will kill people no matter what."

Zhao Jia opened his mouth to say something, but finally sat down opposite Li Xin with some dejection, and sighed helplessly.

"If they could persuade them with a letter, they wouldn't have been attached to it by now."

He looked at the chessboard on the table and reached out and took a move.

"Master Hou, Mu Ying can do it, but after killing the first group of people, you have to stop for a while, and let me write letters to others for some time, they will only listen to the persuasion when they see the blood."

The Marquis of Jing'an stroked his palms and smiled.

"It's still the reader who understands the reader."

Zhao Jia smiled bitterly and did not speak.

The two of them went back and forth on the chessboard, Li Xin's chess strength was much inferior to Zhao Jia, and he was killed after a while, and only some remnants of the defeated army remained.

At this time, Zhao Jia suddenly glanced up at Li Xin.

"I remember that in the ninth year of Taikang, when Hou Ye went to the southwest with the imperial court's edict of the king, he told us that there is no hurry to rectify the southwest, whether it is two or three years, or four or five years, why is it that at this time, Hou Ye suddenly became anxious?"

Zhao Jia winked at Li Xin.

"Could it be that the Hou Ye wants to ......"

Hearing this, the smile on the face of the Marquis of Jing'an subsided a little, he put down the chess pieces in his hand, and glanced at Zhao Jia with some seriousness.

"Brother You'an, do you want me to rebel?"

Zhao Jia was silent for a while, then nodded slightly.

"Master Hou, things have come to this point, it's not as simple as whether you want to rebel or not, such a big force in the southwest is here, it is impossible for the imperial court not to see it, even if the imperial court pretends not to see it now, when the little emperor grows up, he will feel that the southwest is an eyesore."

"Instead of waiting for more than ten decades, the imperial court will turn back and settle accounts with the southwest, it is better to take advantage of the fact that the Hou Ye is still young now, and the big guys are also angry......"

When he said this, he didn't continue to speak, but said: "It's not me who thinks so, Mu Ying should think so too, after all, it has come to this point, even if he is a courtier for Dajin, most of them will still turn their faces in the future." ”

Zhao Jia looked up at Li Xin and took a deep breath.

"The Hou Mansion is the best example from the past!"

The Hou Mansion, "confronted" with the imperial court for more than 30 years, after two generations, because he refused to give up the southwest, and finally inevitably went to the opposite side of the imperial court, and Li Shen had to raise the flag to rebel as a last resort.

It is obviously impossible to get Li Xin to give up the southwest and look forward to the mercy of the imperial court now, as long as Li Xin is unwilling to give up the southwest, future conflicts are inevitable.

Li Xin was silent for a long time.

Eventually, he looked at Zhao Jia.

"Brother You'an thinks that if we rebel, what are the odds?"

"I don't know."

Zhao Jia smiled bitterly: "The fortunes of the Great Jin Dynasty are flourishing, even if we rebel, we can only slowly figure it out, according to what I mean, we can neither think of being a courtier for the Great Jin Dynasty like the Hou Mansion, nor can we raise the flag immediately, we must first let the southwest become a country of its own, strengthen the strength, and then slowly wait for the opportunity." ”

"With the Hou Ye's heavenly thunder, the Sword Gate Pass is solid, and we have time."

Li Xin exhaled slowly.

"So now we want the southwest to become a country of its own, instead of thinking about rebellion now."

Speaking of this, Li Xin looked at Zhao Jia.

"But Brother You'an rest assured, Li Xin will never sacrifice himself for others, let alone be merciful and harm his own people, when the right opportunity comes, I will do what should be done, even if I don't do it, I will definitely seek a good future for everyone."

If Yuan Zhao Tianzi had a sincere heart for him, Li Xindang could be a courtier for him with peace of mind, but now the little emperor doesn't seem to be more reliable than his father, and Li Xin has to think of a way back for himself and his brothers.

As the two of them spoke, the sun had set, and the sky was slowly darkening.

At this time, Li Xin's red son on the chessboard had already gained the upper hand, and the Marquis of Jing'an reached out and wiped the chessboard as if nothing happened, and the endgame immediately came to naught.

"It's time to eat, let's go down next time."

Zhao Jia glanced at Li Xin a little helplessly.

This Hou Ye likes to play chess tricks, it's not the first time he knows it, but every time Li Xin plays tricks, he is justified.

Of course he didn't know that this was the top-level chess skill that Li Xin had learned from that Great Jin God of War.

The two of them got up from their chairs and were about to walk to the front hall, when Mu Ying, who was dressed in black, came over panting.

He looked at Li Xin and bowed his head deeply.

"Master Hou, it seems that my subordinates have found out where Brother Lin is being held......"

"So fast?"

Li Xin's face was solemn, and he frowned: "Are you sure?" ”

Mu Ying wiped the sweat from her forehead, gritted her teeth and said, "Seventy!" ”
