Li Xinchen was able to say such a thing, which really surprised Xiao Xiang and Li Li'er.

In fact, as female dependents, they know very well that they can have a short period of stability in this troubled world, and Li Xinchen undoubtedly used his hands and blood to support them with a sky that is not big, but enough to shelter from the wind and rain.

But now Li Xinchen sincerely apologizes to them for his dereliction of duty to this family, which is not what the head of the family should do in this era at all, and it also makes Li Li'er and Xiao Xiang surprised and looked at Li Xinchen in their eyes.

If Li Li'er's gaze is trust and dependence, then the attachment and admiration in Xiao Xiang's expression no longer need to be concealed.

The man in front of him did not bring his anger to his home because of the fatigue of being outside, and he insisted on walking his own path at all times, while taking care of everyone's thoughts and thoughts. With such a man, although I don't know whether he will go to glory and wealth or to a catastrophe in the end, it will be in vain.

In an instant, Li Li'er was a little envious of Xiao Xiang, after all, she was going to marry someone and leave this family one day, and Xiao Xiang was the one who could follow Li Xinchen.

Li Xinchen tapped the spoon lightly: "Don't look at the two of you, you can't be more handsome if you look at a certain one, so let's eat!" ”

Xiao Xiangqiao's face suddenly turned slightly red, and the girl's mind was seen through, which made her a little shy. And Li Li'er snorted coldly:

"Self-inflicted!"

She can see clearly now that her brother is determined not to give a good look!

——————————————---

Li Xinchen strode up to the council hall, and immediately attracted all the attention of the council hall.

Xiao Maha and Zhou Cheng were discussing something in a low voice, while Chen Shubao was dozing off on the upper seat. And Xiao Shilian, Pei Zilie and other young generals stood solemnly on one side as always, and their eyes fell on the map.

Xiao Shilian looked at Li Xinchen, there were faint water marks on the shoulders of this guy's clothes, needless to say that someone had leaned on it and cried just now.

And Li Xinchen followed Xiao Shilian's gaze and found the problem, and he didn't explain much. My wife is crying on my shoulder, do I need to explain to you?

Xiao Shilian snorted. And Li Xinchen felt inexplicable about this guy's attitude, but he immediately understood, this guy thought that Li Li'er was crying in his arms, so he was jealous.

Li Xinchen was too lazy to care about Xiao Shilian, and first arched his hand at Chen Shubao, who was in the top seat: "The last general, Li Xinchen, see His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

Chen Shubao snorted and opened his eyes suddenly, he knew very well that the previous argument between Xiao Maha and Zhou Qu had always been boring, and only the appearance of Li Xinchen would make things more interesting, even if the place Li Xinchen took him to last time was very interesting, he almost lost his life.

However, although Chen Shubao is confused, he is not unable to distinguish anything, the reason why he is so embarrassed is mainly because of Deng Qing, a damn traitor, and Li Xinchen and others' loyal performance in saving the driver, he still sees it in his eyes.

Those who can protect themselves should be rewarded, and those who make trouble should be killed. This is a superficial truth, Chen Shubao understands it even if he has no scheming.

Especially Li Xinchen finally saved Lechang, which made Chen Shubao not return to Jiankang Mansion and had no way to explain to Chen Xu, in Chen Shubao's heart, it was even more important than his own life. After all, facing his father's anger but having nowhere to hide, always made him feel that life was worse than death,

Therefore, it is certain to ask Li Xinchen for credit, as for what credit to ask, this is not a question for Chen Shubao to think about, he is only responsible for signing the piece prepared by Zhou Qu.

Xiao Maha also breathed a sigh of relief, what he and Zhou Qu mainly discussed was actually the strategy to be adopted in the direction of Shinshu next, and now that the main master is finally here, he can naturally stand by and watch, as long as Li Xinchen says the suggestion, he will judge the feasibility himself.

And Li Xinchen's gaze swept over everyone present, compared to the same evening last time in this same meeting hall, there was no one less person present.

Mao Xi, who used to stand behind Zhou Qu with a solemn look on his face, is no longer visible, but the position where he should have been standing is still vacant, obviously for this general and colleague who washed away the shame of betrayal of his subordinates with his own blood, everyone present still maintains their respect.

On the way here, Li Xinchen had already heard Li Ping explain the events of the day clearly. After Xiao Shilian and he escorted Chen Shubao and Le Chang away, Mao Xi led the prince to lead the battle and retreat, and finally retreated to the narrow part of the mountain road, thus blocking the enemy attacking from the hillside and the mountain road at the same time, and Cao Zhong and Li Xinchen, who had less than a dozen people left, were able to successfully retreat.

Later, by the time Xiao Shilian and the others led the army to kill, Mao Xi and others had all been martyred. However, the betrayed Deng Qing did not end well, and the army of Nan Chen, who blocked all the roads in the entire mountain, finally blocked them in the swamp of Huarong.

Most of the rebels put down their swords after they were cornered, after all, many of them were also coerced by the generals above to mutiny, and the matter was naturally completely lacking. And Deng Qing and the black-clothed killers tried to escape through the reeds, but most of them did not know the situation and did not live in the swamp.

In the end, only a few of Deng Qing's personal guards came out with Deng Qing's body and surrendered. This criminal general, who directly led to Mao Xi's death in battle and indirectly led to the distress of Li Xinchen and Lechang, of course knew that he would definitely not end well, so he committed suicide in desperation.

Of course, Xiao Maha is not a good person, and he naturally has no mercy on these guys who have been worried about him for several days. Throughout the ages, their own traitors have always been more hateful than the enemies they face on the battlefield, and these rebel captives were all beheaded collectively in front of the graves of Mao Xi and others after a simple inquiry.

Thinking of the middle-aged general who didn't talk much, Li Xinchen could only sigh secretly in his heart. Mao Xi also died a well-deserved death, and in the end he received a pension from the imperial court and a reward for his children in the family, which is better than being demoted because of poor guards in history, maybe he should be happy for him.

Of course, these names of Mao Xi will naturally be responsible, and they will also be left to future generations to comment, and it is not for Li Xinchen to decide. What's more, for the current Li Xinchen, there are still many problems he needs to solve.

However, Li Xinchen was still a little curious, and secretly asked himself in his heart.

I don't know what my name looks like?

While thinking, Li Xinchen looked up at the map, he could clearly see that the area from Badong to Xinzhou on the map was heavily circled, and even next to this big map, there was a small map that specially enlarged this area, but the map was very rough.
