Emperor Chengde's words can be said to have put a life-saving talisman on Li Xin.

Although the general of the Zhu Kingdom is capable of ignoring the emperor's words, whether it is worth doing this for Li Xin is a question worth pondering.

After hearing the emperor's words, Li Shen bent down slightly and bowed to Emperor Chengde and said, "Your Majesty, the remnants of southern border are dangerous. I can only try my best to protect Li Zhengwei."

Speaking of this, he paused and continued, "If Your Majesty is worried about the safety of Captain Li, you can go to southern Xinjiang by another person."

Emperor Chengde narrowed his eyes and smiled and said, "Young people always need some experience. Just be brave enough to take care of them. Even if he dies in southern Xinjiang, I will not blame you for anything."

Li Shen lowered his head and said, "I obey the order."

Speaking of this, Emperor Chengde looked up at the sky, and then said calmly: "Okay, it's getting late, so I won't delay the general's expedition. This time, we go to southern Xinjiang to suppress the rebellion. The general will spend more time. The southern Xinjiang has been in chaos for more than 30 years. It is a good thing to be born one day earlier."

"I will live up to Your Majesty's high hopes."

The emperor nodded, returned to the dragon chariot with his hands behind his back, and then sealed the Ninth Princess who was hiding behind the crowd, and said in a deep voice: "Xiaojiu, what is your daughter's house like here? Why don't you come here quickly?"

Ji Lingxiu was frightened and shivered all over. She quickly ran out of the crowd, ran out in a regular manner, saluting Emperor Chengde and said, "Father..."

The emperor waved to her: "This is not your place to stay. Go back to the palace with me. You have been moving out for some time. Your mother has been thinking about you, and go back to the palace with me to see her."

Princess Qinghe bowed her head and said, "Daughter obeys the order."

As she said that, she stepped onto the dragon chariot and sat beside Emperor Chengde in a regular manner.

The dragon chariot slowly set off, and the father and daughter headed towards the palace.

In the wide dragon chariot, the ninth princess pulled Emperor Chengde's sleeve, looked up at his father, and whispered: "Father, the war is in southern Xinjiang. If you send Li Xin, will something happen to him?"

Emperor Chengde glanced at his daughter and said with a smile: "Why, my ninth princess, have you fallen in love with this young man?"

Ji Lingxiu's face turned red and she lowered her head and said, "What did the father say..."

"It's just that Li Xin made the food delicious. My daughter was afraid that he would die, so she would never be able to eat it again..."

Emperor Chengde reached out and touched Ji Lingxiu's head, and smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have sent a few inner guards to follow him to southern Xinjiang, and I will not die easily."

Speaking of this, the Emperor Chengde smiled and said, "Li Xin is now an eighth-rank martial artist and a seventh-rank martial artist. If he stays in the capital, he will never be qualified to marry you in his life."

Princess Qinghe's face was red and she covered her face with her hands.

"Father, if you talk nonsense, my daughter will ignore you..."

The emperor laughed and the father and daughter gradually drifted away.

……………………

After the emperor's carriage left, Li Shen returned to his horse and looked back at Li Xin and four or five military commanders sent by the Censorate, with a cold voice.

"Listen, southern Xinjiang is not as dangerous as the capital. Those Shu people will definitely easily take your lives when they become fierce. It is still time for you to stay in the capital now. If you die in southern Xinjiang, I will not be responsible."

He spoke to several military commanders on the surface, but in fact he said it to Li Xin alone.

No matter what, Li Xin is his son. Although he is not going to recognize this son, he doesn't really want Li Xin to die.

Judging from the current situation, Li Xin has already joined the camp of the emperor. If he goes to southern Xinjiang and really sees something he shouldn't have seen, then Li Shen has to kill someone.

Several military commanders from the Censorate were all literati, most of whom were Jinshi from the Grade 1. They were timid. After hearing Li Shen's words, they had no reaction on the surface, but were trembling in their hearts.

But there was no way. They all received the imperial edict like Li Xin. If they didn't go to Nanjiang, they would be dead. Although they were afraid, they had to go.

Li Xin just pretended that he didn't hear Li Shen's words.

If he had any choice, he wouldn't have appeared here.

Li Shen never looked at Li Xin from beginning to end. It was not that he was unwilling to talk to Li Xin, but because there were a few people around Li Xin.

To be precise, there are five people.

These five people are all strong men, and the leader is half a head taller than Li Xin. He lowered his head and fist at Li Xin, and said in a deep voice: "Wang Mo, the inner guard, will accompany the luggage lieutenant along the way under the order of Your Majesty."

The inner guard and the Yulin Guard belong to the Emperor's personal army, but the inner guard should be closer to the Emperor. After all, the inner guard is stationed in the imperial city, while the Yulin Guard is stationed in the south city.

Among the inner guards, there is a character-like camp of Jia, which is a relatively special camp, because this camp is responsible for the safety of the emperor. When the emperor travels, it is also the personal protection of the camp.

That is, the emperor's personal bodyguard.

Although this Jiazi battalion is organized by the lieutenant camp, they not only separated from the title of the imperial guards and were called the lieutenant camp, but even the rank was far superior to the lieutenant camp. The commander of the lieutenant camp was called the lieutenant of Changle Palace. He was a serious fifth-rank military officer and was on par with the rank of the General of the Yulin Guard.

There are less than 200 people in the Guards camp. They are nominally under the jurisdiction of the Inner Guards, but in fact they are directly under the jurisdiction of the Emperor. Even the people in the Guards camp are not all from the Inner Guards. Many of them are trained by the Ji Family Sect Mansion and sent to the palace.

It is impossible to say that everyone in the Guards is a top master, but it is still no problem to beat Li Xin by one person.

Wang Mo, who calls himself the inner guard, is one of the two lieutenants of the Guards. He is known as the "Black Dog". His official position is the sixth rank, two levels higher than Li Xin, who is the seventh rank.

This time, five people were sent by the emperor in the guard camp, which had a total of less than 200 people, and Wang Mo, one of the two lieutenants, was also sent out, which shows how much the emperor attached to Li Xin.

After hearing the big man's self-introduction, Li Xin touched his nose awkwardly.

He was born in Yulinwei and had conflicts with the inner guard.

Not long ago, he was scolding the inner guards at Yong'anmen for being eunuchs...

Captain Li coughed and clasped his fists at the big man and returned the greeting: "I'm going to southern Xinjiang, please take care of Brother Wang."

He knew in his heart that these people were sent by the emperor to protect him, so he could not offend him. He still had to say what he should say. After all, good things don't cost money, and he would not suffer any loss no matter how he said it.

Wang Mo smiled on his face: "Person Li is polite. We are both the Emperor's Imperial Guard, so it is appropriate to take care of each other."

Li Xin met all five people, and then he coughed again and said to Wang Mo: "Brother Wang, I have something to bother you."

Wang Mo lowered his head and said, "Person Li, please tell me."

Although he was higher than Li Xin's official position, he was ordered by the emperor and still respected Li Xin's opinions along the way.

Li Xin pointed to the big dark horse sent by Princess Qinghe not far away, and touched her nose awkwardly again.

"That... can Brother Wang teach me to ride a horse?"
