Chapter Ninety-Seven: Walking on Thin Ice
In the afternoon of the same day, a carriage drove into Datongfang and picked up the two women, but the direction of the carriage was not the Wei Wangfu, and only His Royal Highness the King of Wei knew where it went.
This is not surprising, as one of the four princes who stayed in Beijing, the Seven Princes don't know how many hidden industries there are in the capital, and the proud building is just the tip of the iceberg.
Although these two Nanshu women were born beautifully, but the Seventh Prince took them away only for political purposes, this is an ambitious prince, for the sake of the future throne, he will not be unclear with these two sensitive women.
After sending these two women away, the Seventh Prince glanced back at Li Xin and said in a deep voice: "Brother Xin, the two Li Shun royal families you killed are obviously not low, and most of these remnants of Nanshu will send people to harm you again, do you want me to send some people to protect you?" ”
As he spoke, he looked at the courtyard where Li Xin lived, and said, "Besides, your courtyard is too simple, and the address is exposed, it's too dangerous, I have another five-entry house in Datongfang, you can live in it." ”
Five-in and five-out house, that is to say, there are at least five independent courtyards in a large courtyard, and the meaning of five in is that there are five doors for entry and exit, this kind of house is much better than the small courtyard where Li Xin lives now, even in a place like Datongfang, it is considered a mansion.
Li Xin shook his head slightly: "Your Highness, according to these two women, among the people who entered Beijing to assassinate Your Majesty last time, there was a core figure of the Li Rebellion Imperial Family, and people with this status should not have been used as dead soldiers like this, it must be their internal struggle, otherwise it would not be these two stupid women who came to harm me this time, but a fierce assassin." ”
"And I'm used to living here, and I don't want to move."
The Seventh Prince glanced at Li Xin lightly, and said with a smile: "This is Brother Xin, you don't understand the sinister hearts of people, if what you said is right, that Li Shun royal family was killed by his own people, but those who harmed him still have to avenge him, otherwise it will be unacceptable." ”
Lee's confidence was awe-inspiring.
What the Seventh Prince said is not bad, although most of the little highnesses in southern Xinjiang were killed by their own people, but the Li family in southern Xinjiang still has to avenge him, otherwise this matter will not be able to save face, and those remnants of Nanshu will also be suspicious.
For the time being, Li Xin is still much inferior to the Seventh Prince.
The Seventh Prince continued: "Besides, just in case, if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your little sister." ”
Li Xin nodded and said, "What Your Highness said is that I will go look for a new place to live in the next few days." ”
His Royal Highness King Wei frowned slightly: "Don't want to live in my house?" ”
Li Xin smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Your Highness wants to gather forces during this time, and I am doing things in Yulinwei again, so it is not good to involve too much, and I am a captain of Yulinwei, and I go to live in a big mansion with five entrances, which is too eye-catching." ”
Ji Wen nodded: "Brother Xin'er is right, that's it, I'll ask Jiuniang to buy you a courtyard that is not too big, without going through the Wei Wangfu, so that others can't find out their heels." ”
Having said that, if Li Xin refuses again, it will be not to give this His Royal Highness the King of Wei a son, at this time, Li Xin still has a lot of places to rely on the Seven Princes in the capital, and immediately nodded and said: "Thank you, Your Highness." ”
"Thanks for what."
The Seventh Prince patted Li Xin's shoulder and said with a smile: "Li Yi in Southern Xinjiang has been making trouble for so many years, although it is not a big problem, but it is also a disease of ringworm and scabies. ”
Li Xin glanced at the Seventh Prince deeply, bowed his head and said: "Your Highness, according to the information I saw before, the Li family led 100,000 people of the Pingnan Army to guard in southern Xinjiang, and it has been more than 30 years, and it has not been able to get rid of ringworm scabies for more than 30 years, I'm afraid it's not just ringworm scabies." ”
The Seventh Prince's face was calm.
Although the Pingnan Hou Mansion is loyal to the imperial court on the surface, and he is also respectful to the royal family on weekdays, but after so many years, everyone can see that some of the cats are tired, and the purpose of the fourth prince Ji Huan to contact Li Chun of the Pingnan Hou Mansion is not as simple as it seems.
To put it bluntly, it's just a layer of paper that no one dares to pierce.
The Seventh Prince smiled secretly: "Brother Xin'er, the water in this capital is very deep, for now, we can only point the spearhead at Southern Xinjiang, not at the Pingnan Hou Mansion, do you understand?" ”
The imperial court let the Pingnan Marquis Mansion take charge of the army for more than 30 years, not because there was no way to move the Li family, but because the price to pay for moving the Li family was too great, and the two generations of the Pingnan Marquis Mansion were "loyal to the monarch and patriotic", and they worked diligently to guard the southern Xinjiang for the Great Jin Dynasty.
Lee's confidence was awe-inspiring.
Once again, he underestimated the power of the Pingnan Hou Mansion.
Can make such a royal family as the Seventh Prince jealous to this point, how much power is behind the Li family?
In other words, can he really win against Li Shen, the general of the Pillar State in the current dynasty?
Li Xin bowed his head slightly and said, "I understand what His Highness means. ”
Ji Wen patted Li Xin's shoulder and said in a low voice: "The rice must be eaten one bite at a time, one day, you and I will be able to get our wish." ”
Li Xin nodded silently.
His Royal Highness King Wei walked out of Li Xin's courtyard with his hands in his hand, and said with a smile: "Okay, I will let Jiuniang arrange the house as soon as possible in the next few days, and then there is, Xiao Jiu will leave the palace in two days and move into Princess Qinghe's mansion. ”
Li Xin hugged his fists and said: "Your Highness, rest assured, Li Xin will definitely do his best to protect the safety of the Ninth Princess." ”
Li Xin sent the Seventh Prince to the gate of his courtyard, a purple carriage had already been waiting at the mouth of the alley, the Seventh Prince glanced back at Li Xin, and said in a low voice: "Father transferred you to be the chief of the guard of this princess's mansion, there must be a deep meaning in it, you can ponder it when you are free." ”
Li Xin said in a deep voice: "Thank you, Your Highness, for mentioning this." ”
The Seventh Prince smiled, walked into his carriage with his hands in his hand, and quickly walked out of Datongfang as the wheels rolled.
Li Xin looked at the back of the purple carriage and fell into deep thought.
To be honest, when he first came to this world, he felt that he was a traverser and had some sense of superiority, but after three months of becoming "Li Xin", Li Xinli gradually developed a sense of awe for this world.
He is certainly a smart man, but there are too many smart people in this capital.
From the current point of view, the high-ranking Chengde Heavenly Son, as well as Li Shen, the general of the Pillar Kingdom, as well as His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, and even Cui Jiuniang of the Proud Building, are not stupider than him.
Even smarter than him.
Li Xin was stunned for a long time, and finally returned to his courtyard with his hands.
The water in the capital is turbid, like walking on thin ice......
