Chapter 206 Please forgive me!
The Seventh Prince discussed with Li Xin for half an hour and left while the night was shining.
Early the next morning, Li Xin got up from the post station and did not rush to set off. Instead, he stood for an hour and waited until the sun rose, and then he started to lead the team to head towards the capital.
The old captain Wang Zhong rode on a green horse and followed Li Xin, trying to ask something, but finally shook his head.
Although he didn't recognize who the person who came last night was, he could guess that he was a big man in the capital by looking at the mount. The fact that such a big man came over in the middle of the night means that something must have happened in the capital. Although Wang Zhong was very curious, he still didn't speak.
In the court, there were turbulent and intrigues, it was not something like him who could intervene. Wang Zhong was confident in his archery, horse, riding, shooting, fist, and foot skills, but he knew very little about these things in the court.
Now the Yulin Guard has lost its big cart and the speed is much faster. It took only one morning to walk, and by noon, he had already seen the gate of the capital.
More than 300 Yulin Lang gathered at the North Gate. Li Xin turned around and said in a deep voice to the Yulin Guard boys behind him: "Our group has worked hard for several months. Now, we have returned to the capital and went home for three days to rest. After three days, we will gather at the Yulin Guard Camp. At that time, the court will reward the contributions of Xiao Chen gathered there."
These Yulinweis are not old and have suffered a lot along the way with Li Xin. He was very happy when he heard this and roared apart.
"Thank you, Captain Li!"
After everyone dispersed, only Wang Zhong and Mu Ying were left beside Li Xin. Li Xin bowed to Wang Zhong: "Master Wang, you have worked hardest along the way. Now we are in the capital, so you will go back and rest."
Wang Zhong has no family in the capital and lives in Yulinwei Camp on weekdays. He nodded and said, "It's nearly three months since the journey, and you owe me a hundred kilograms of strong wine."
Li Xin smiled suddenly: "Don't worry, Master Wang, I'll send it to you if I look back."
Wang Zhong shook his head and sighed, patting Li Xin on the shoulder.
"Be careful."
After saying that, he entered the city on his own.
Now, Mu Ying is the only one left by Li Xin.
Captain Li looked back at the black-faced brother and said straight to the point: "Brother Mu, your identity has been exposed."
Mu Ying's face changed, and she finally breathed slowly: "How did it be exposed?"
"It was the Marquis of Pingnan who reported to the emperor that there must be spies from the Li family in your southern border."
After taking a deep breath, Mu Ying calmed down rarely and said, "What do you want me to do?"
Li Xin bluntly said: "Brother Mu has two paths to go now. The first one is to get on the horse now. The further you run, the better..."
Before Li Xin could finish his words, Mu Ying turned over the red horse neatly and hugged Li Xin and clasped her fists: "The green mountains will not change, the green water will flow forever, Li Zheng, we."
Before he could say it, Li Xin, who was covered in a dark face, coughed and interrupted: "But if Brother Mu left at this time, the court would probably issue a document to arrest you. If the court caught you, it would be a situation where there would be no life."
Mu Ying jumped off the horse in a proper manner.
“Where is the second way?”
The capital is more than a thousand miles away from southern Xinjiang, and Mu Ying has no post stations to change horses along the way. If the court really issues a document to arrest the sea, then there will be no towns along the way. If you want to avoid it, you can only escape to the deep mountains and forests.
Li Xin's face became serious and said, "The second way is to go into the city with me and wait for the emperor to summon him."
Mu Ying sighed: "How many lives will you die?"
"I have no idea."
Li Xin shook his head and said honestly: "But there is one thing that can guarantee that we will live and die together."
Upon hearing this, Mu Ying nodded without hesitation.
"Okay, I'll go into the city with you."
The two of them got on their horses and walked into the capital. After the two returned to Datongfang, Li Xin took a shower and changed into a dress of Yulin Wei, and said to Mu Ying: "You are here to wait. If the emperor wants to see you, he should come here to pass on you."
Although Mu Yingduo is despised the emperor of the Jin Dynasty on weekdays, when things come, he is still a little timid and said in a panic: "The Emperor of the Ji family asked me, what should I say?"
"Say whatever you don't want to say except for what you don't want to say."
After Li Xin hurriedly gave a few instructions, he left to enter the palace.
In the afternoon, Li Xin rushed to the gate of the inner palace of the imperial city to meet the emperor.
This time, there was no waiting for too long, and soon a eunuch came over and led him to Changle Palace.
This is Li Xin’s fourth time meeting the Saint. This time it is more critical than the previous three times, because as long as he says a wrong sentence this time, his life will be explained here.
In the study room of Changle Palace, Li Xin knelt on the ground in a regular manner: "My minister, Li Xin, please pay attention to Your Majesty."
Emperor Chengde put down the red pen in his hand and glanced at Li Xin lightly: "I haven't come back for so long, I thought you've gone to southern Xinjiang."
After all, he was the supreme emperor, and just the simplest way to win the lead made Li Xin a little scared.
"I dare not."
"You stand up and talk."
Li Xin climbed up from the ground and stood with his hands hanging down.
Emperor Chengde looked at Li Xin up and down and laughed: "I went to the north and it was a lot darker, but it was better to be darker. I used to be a little sick."
Li Xin's forehead was sweating.
"Thank you for your concern."
Emperor Chengde narrowed his eyes and talked to Li Xin for a few family matters. Li Xin answered one by one. Suddenly, the emperor's majesty suddenly spoke: "Has Lao Qi seen you?"
Li Xin hesitated for only a moment, then lowered his head and admitted: "I've seen it."
The news of the Seventh Prince leaving the Capital is unlikely to be hidden from His Majesty the Emperor. It is meaningless to lie on such issues, so Li Xin is very honest.
"What did he say to you?"
Li Xin lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said, "His Highness the King of Wei told me that Li Yan, the Minister of War, wrote a letter to me to collude with southern Xinjiang and would kill me. Your Highness asked me to be careful after entering Beijing."
"Your Highness also said, Your Majesty, you want to see me, so as soon as I enter the capital, I come to the palace to meet the holy."
Emperor Chengde clapped his hands and laughed: "You two have a great relationship. We can let him run to remind you at this time."
"Your Highness respects the empress."
The smile on Emperor Chengde's face suddenly subsided and he slapped the table hard: "Do you think I am praising you? As my military commander, what's your intention to meet with a rebel while in southern Xinjiang?"
Li Xin sighed, knelt on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty clearly understands that it was the rebels in the southern border who took the empress away, not that I wanted to see them."
Speaking of this, Li Xin paused: "Brother Wang Mo and the others can also testify to this."
Emperor Chengde laughed in anger: "So, my guard camp lieutenant will follow you to hide it from me?"
Li Xin shook his head and said, "Brother Wang Mo and the others don't know who the person who kidnapped me. Later, the thieves sent me back. In order not to implicate them, I did not explain the situation to Brother Wang Mo and the others."
Emperor Chengde thought for a moment, squinted his eyes and asked, "Then what explanation does the Shu man beside you give?"
"He is a line used by the minister to contact those thieves."
The emperor was furious and slapped the table hard: "You said you didn't associate with the thief!"
Li Xin shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, the remnants of Southern Sichuan are already spring ice and autumn insects, and they cannot become a climate. I have no reason to collude with these dying people. The reason why I want to contact them is to avenge my own private grudges one day."
"personal enmity?"
Li Xin lowered his head and said, "The Pingnan Marquis Mansion has great grudges with me, but the Li family has such a great power, so I cannot move them, so I thought of leaving a line in southern Xinjiang, and maybe I can take revenge from this line to the Pingnan Marquis Mansion in the future."
Speaking of this, Li Xin kowtowed and said, "No matter what, the remnants of Southern Shu are all rebels from the Jin Dynasty. It is an indisputable fact that I have contact with the rebels because of my personal grudges. Now I am in prison and plead guilty. Please lower the punishment."
Emperor Chengde looked at Li Xin coldly.
"Where is that Shu man?"
"At this moment, I am waiting for the decree at my family."
