Chapter 225 Take the last step

Li Xin stayed in this chandelier all afternoon, and he drank all the half pot of Zhurong wine he brought with him alone. Fortunately, half pot of wine was only one pound. In addition, he drank slowly, Li Xin was not drunk, but had a slightly flushed on his face.

Before leaving, Cui Jiuniang looked at Li Xin with a little frivolous step and frowned and said, "Or why the Marquis would take a break here and wait until he sobered up before leaving?"

Li Xin looked up at the sky and found that it was already evening. He shook his head and said, "No, I still have some things to deal with. I will come to visit my sister after I finish the work at hand."

Cui Jiuniang sent him to the door and said with some emotion: "When you finish the work at hand, your identity may be very different from now."

Li Xin was stunned when he heard this, but didn't say much, but just waved to Jiu Niang: "Sister Cui, please be careful of your health. I'll come to see you again when I have time."

Speaking of this, Li Xin suddenly remembered something, turned around and smiled at Cui Jiuniang and said, "I almost forgot to tell my sister that the little girl is probably pregnant. I guess in half a year, I will be my uncle."

"Sister has time, you can go to her house to see her, and go out for a walk. Don't keep it in the temple all day long."

It has been two or three years since Zhong Xiaoxiao and Zhao Fang got married, but the two lived together after Li Xin entered Beijing. Now Zhao has served as a member of the Yulinwei and has a career of his own, so it is naturally inconvenient to live in the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion. Therefore, Li Xin bought a small house for the couple in Yonglefang as the Zhao family's mansion.

After more than two years of marriage, Zhong Xiaoxiao's belly finally changed. Li Xin only learned about this happy event a few days ago.

Jiuniang leaned against the door and whispered: "Okay, I'll go to her house tomorrow to take a look."

When Li Xin worked hard in the capital in his early years, he often couldn't take care of Zhong Xiaoxiao and often sent her to Cui Jiuniang. This girl can be said to be raised by Jiuniang, and the two had a deep relationship.

Li Xin, dressed in purple, waved to Jiu Niang and left with ease.

After Li Xin left, a little girl who was following Cui Jiuniang looked at Li Xin's back as she left, and asked curiously: "Aunt Cui, who is this person? This is the first time I have seen you say something to a man for so long."

Cui Jiuniang never got married in her life, but she did not get distorted by this. Instead, she hoped that the people around her would have a good home. Therefore, her maid often followed her for two or three years and then she got married. I don’t know who the maid is now.

Jiu Niang glanced back at the little girl who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and her tone was a bit complicated.

"The most memorable day in your life is probably today."

Jiu Niang said calmly: "There is no other person like this who is willing to surrender to the nobles and come to visit our small temple."

Li Xin got on the black carriage waiting at the entrance of the alley. After closing his eyes and resting for half an hour, he finally returned to the Jing'an Marquis Mansion. As soon as he got off the carriage, the servants of the Marquis' Mansion hurried over and lowered their heads to Li Xin and said, "Marty, Zhao Pushe and General Shenwu Guard have been waiting for you in the mansion for two hours..."

Li Xin exhaled a smell of alcohol from his mouth and his voice was low: "I understand."

It was not surprising that Zhao Jia and Li Shuo came to visit, because once the news sent back by Mu Ying was delivered to them, they would definitely come to see Li Xin.

Li Xin knew they would come early in the morning, but at that time he was a little confused, so he simply went out to drink a drink and relax, leaving the two Southwest Army giants aside.

After returning to the mansion, he first washed his face, then breathed a few breaths, and walked towards his main hall.

In the main hall of the Jing'an Marquis Mansion, Zhao Jia and Li Shuo had been waiting for a long time. To be precise, after Li Xin asked Chen Shiliu to deliver Mu Ying's news to them, they visited them almost at the same time.

At this moment, the two of them had been waiting in the Marquis' Mansion for two hours, and had been waiting for almost an entire afternoon.

Seeing Li Xin coming in, the two of them quickly stood up and saluted Li Xin.

"Congratulations to the Governor!"

The two spoke in unison.

Li Xin sat in the main seat on his own, looked up at the two people, and then smiled in silence: "Did you discuss the argument here?"

Zhao Jia laughed: "The Grand Governor has wronged the Supreme Commander. The Supreme Commander is waiting at the Grand Governor's Office. He originally wanted to say a few words to General Li, but General Li remained silent and said nothing, and we both didn't say a word."

After the last incident of the Ji family assassination of Li Xin, Li Shuo began to gradually become alienated from Mu Ying and Zhao Jia. Until now, unless necessary communication is necessary, he would not say even one word to these two people.

This is due to Zhao Jia's character and his way of dealing with the world.

He is ready to be Li Xin's "lonely minister".

Li Xin sat in the main seat, drank two sips of tea and dissipated the smell of alcohol, then pointed to the seats on both sides and said, "Sit down and talk, there is no need to be restrained like this."

The two of them sat down together.

After sitting down, Zhao Jia smiled at Li Xin and said, "General Mu made a surprise attack on Qianli this time and directly destroyed the Xianbei tent! From then on, my northern border of Jin and I had at least twenty years of peace."

He smiled and said, "Mr. Ye was unable to accomplish this back then. Now, under the leadership of the Grand Commander-in-Chief, we have done it."

The Shangshu's right servant's eyes were burning: "This is the destiny of heaven!"

Li Xin looked at Zhao Jia with a smile, and then said with a smile: "I understand what Brother You'an means, but the situation in Ye back then was very different from that now, so we can't confuse it."

Zhao Jia coughed and laughed: "The Grand Governor said before that after the success of the Northern Xinjiang, he will complete the unfinished things in the capital."

As he spoke, he stood up from the seat, and then knelt directly in front of Li Xin with a serious expression.

"The Grand Governor, now everything is ready, and the heaven, the place and the people are in good condition. Please follow the destiny of heaven."

Li Shuo also stood up from the chair, but he was not as anxious as Zhao Jia, but stood there, looking at Li Xin, waiting for Li Xin's next instructions.

Li Xin sighed, stood up and helped Zhao Jia up, and said, "Brother You'an, don't worry, what I promised, I won't go back on my promise."

"From tomorrow, the military officials at the gates of the capital will be replaced, the Jingzhao Government Office, the Inspection Office, the Jinwu Guard, and the Water Defense Office. All the military officials will be taken over by people from the southwest."

Speaking of this, Li Xin paused and looked at Zhao Jia and said, "From tomorrow, the speculative civil servants whom Brother You'an have previously been able to continue doing things, but remember one thing, don't be too explicit, otherwise it will make us look ugly."

Speaking of this, Li Xin paused and continued, "Build momentum in the capital first."

Governor Li turned his head and looked at Li Shuo and continued, "From tomorrow, you will take the Shenwu Guard into the capital and take over the defense of the city gates in the capital."

"I will send three imperial guards to control the imperial city."

Governor Li's voice was low.

"Since you want to do it, don't make any mistakes."
