Unparalleled Concubine

The next morning, when the sky was bright, Li Xin got up from the bed. He usually got up very early because he wanted to practice boxing, and he was already in bed today.

After standing in the yard for an hour as usual, Li Xin put away his posture and washed up under the service of his servants. While he was wiping his face with a towel, Mu Ying was already waiting behind him, and only took a step forward when he saw that he had finished washing. , said with a smile: "Master Hou's boxing skills are becoming more and more popular."

Li Xin threw the towel into the basin and chuckled, "How many times can I beat you, General Mu?"

Mu Ying blinked her eyes with a smile on her face.

"Let's say you can beat ten Mu Yings."

Li Xin gave this guy a white look.

"How's the investigation on the Plum Blossom Guard?"

"I have found more than a dozen imprints, and I am still waiting and watching. I can probably arrest people tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

Li Xin nodded, his eyes full of coldness.

"Don't worry, catch it and kill it immediately."

Mu Ying bowed her head and said yes, and then said.

"Master Hou, Mr. Li Shuo is on his way to Jincheng. It is estimated that he should arrive this evening."

Li Xin smiled.

"He should come and see me."

Chapter 882

Because after the Hanzhou Army took over the Pingnan Army, it was divided into three parts, and today's Southwest is roughly divided into three parts, including one part for Mu's family, one part for Li Shuo, and one part for Li Xin.

It's just that Li Xin's Hanzhou Army was temporarily taken over by Mu Ying, which meant that Mu's family actually controlled two-thirds of the Southwest Army.

But because there is a Zhao Jia who replaces Li Xin in the Southwest, the three parts of the Southwest are actually controlled by Li Xin through Zhao Jia, and the part of Li Shuo is stationed in the most southwestern Ningzhou generation. Jincheng is hundreds of miles away.

Li Xin came to the capital, out of emotion and reason, Li Shuo should come to see him.

Li Xin wanted to integrate the Southwest forces, and Li Shuo's Ningzhou Army was also the most important part of it, so he had to make it clear to Li Shuo.

Moreover, the soldiers from the Pingnan Army have been at odds with the soldiers of the Hanzhou Army during this period of time. The Mu family even suspected Li Shuo of Lin Hu's disappearance this time. The misunderstanding must be made clear. .

In the evening, Li Shuo, who brought only two soldiers with him, rushed to the Shu Palace in Jincheng. After being informed by his subordinates, he met Li Xin in the backyard of the Shu Palace.

At this time, it was the summer of the first year of Yuanzhao, and the weather was sweltering. Because the Shu Palace had not been built for a long time, there was no ice storage in the ice cellar, so it was rather sweltering. Li Xin had someone sprinkle water on the floor of the house to cool off a little.

Li Shuo stood in front of Li Xin, lowering his head slightly.

"I have seen my brother."

Li Xin pointed to the opposite side of him, and said softly, "Sit down and talk."

Li Shuo sat down opposite to Li Xin, and said softly, "Brother came to Jincheng from the capital, is it because of Mr. Lin's disappearance?"

Lin Hu has no position in the Southwest, if he insists on saying he has one, he can only say that he is in charge of Tianlei for Li Xin, because he has no position, so people in the Southwest can't call him, they can only call him Mr.

Li Xin nodded, and said, "It's been resolved, Hu Zi was rescued, and now he is recuperating in the Shu Palace."

Having said that, he raised his head and glanced at Li Shuo: "I heard that you are married and have a son."

Li Shuo was only 16 years old when Jincheng was broken.For the next five years, he led the remnants of the Pingnan Army to linger on the Tubo border, and his life was very unstable, so he never got married. After the situation in the Southwest stabilized, he was able to be stationed in Ningzhou, and he married a man who followed him. A long time woman gave birth to a son a few months ago.

Li Shuo lowered his head slightly: "Brother Lao is concerned, because he gave birth to a child."

"what is it call?"

"Single name and one character Xu."

Li Shuo bowed his head and said, "Brother should come to name this child, but he is not in the southwest, and it would be inappropriate to send a letter all the way to the capital, so I chose it on my own."

Although Li Xin did not officially recognize Li Shuo as his brother, Li Shuo had always called him his elder brother all these years. According to blood relationship, he was considered the child's uncle. There were no other elders in the family, so he should indeed be the one to choose the name.

Li Xin stretched out his hand and offered Li Shuo a glass of wine.

"Hello, son, I have a son, and this branch of yours is considered to have a future."

Li Shuo smiled wryly and shook his head: "The life is turbulent, and it is uncertain whether it will be safe or not, so I don't want the incense to be delivered smoothly."

Lord Jing'an narrowed his eyes.

"It means that the Mu family made things difficult for you?"

Li Shuo smiled bitterly: "The current situation was decided by you, brother. Without further ado, the younger brother broke up the Pingnan Army and incorporated it into the Hanzhou Army. After stationing in Ningzhou, they have been divided into divisions. I haven't seen any old Pingnan Army divisions outside of Ningzhou, but General Mu Ying has always been aggressive, saying that my younger brother is instigating the old Pingnan Army divisions to cause trouble."

"What's even more exaggerated is that I was the younger brother who kidnapped Mr. Lin."

Li Shuo shook his head and sighed, "If this goes on like this, I'm afraid there will be no place for my little brother in Southwest."

"There's no need to complain."

Li Xin said calmly: "Zhao Jia is taking care of Southwest now, and he won't favor the Mu family. As long as you don't do anything bad, the [-] Ningzhou Army will always be yours."

Li Shuo bowed his head respectfully: "Don't worry, brother, my younger brother has never been an ambitious person, otherwise I wouldn't have sent the deposed prince out of Jincheng to my elder brother. I just want to live a peaceful life in Southwest China."

Li Shuo is a person who always thinks of taking care of the interests of the majority. In fact, he is a bit of a saint in essence, and he really doesn't have much ambition.

Li Xin poured himself a glass of wine, clinked a glass with Li Shuo, and drank it down with his head raised.

"You can live in Ningzhou with peace of mind, but the Ningzhou Army under your command is also part of the Southwest. You don't need to listen to the Mu family, but you have to listen to Zhao Jia."

"Is there any problem with this?"

"Mr. You'an has been strategizing for the past two years and managed the Southwest in an orderly manner. The Ningzhou Army will naturally obey Mr. You'an's dispatch."

Having said that, Li Shuo frowned, and he looked up at Li Xin.

"Brother, what do you... want to do?"

Although Li Shuo was a bit of a saint, it was meaningless. He was a smart man, and from Li Xin's words and tone, he could already hear something was wrong.

"I want Southwest to work together and do something big."

Li Shuo was a little nervous and took a deep breath.

He raised his head and glanced at his unfathomable elder brother, and asked cautiously: "Brother, you... don't you want to repeat the story of the elder brother?"

Li Xin smiled coldly.

"Li Shen was forced to rebel, how could I learn from him?"
