Li Xin suddenly turned around and stared at the carriage.

This is not the capital city, but the official road about ten miles away from the capital city, and it is also the only way for the capital to go to the imperial guard camp. It is obvious that Li Shen is waiting for him here.

He quickly calmed down.

Now, he has nothing to be afraid of when facing Li Shen. On the contrary, Li Shen should be afraid of him.

Marquis Jing'an waved his hand to stop the guard behind him, put his hands in his thick sleeves, and slowly walked towards the carriage.

The carriage is a very ordinary carriage, without even a paint, and the horse pulling the carriage is also an old horse, which looks very uninspired.

Sitting in front of the car was a young man in his twenties or thirties, with an ordinary appearance and inconspicuous appearance.

Li Xin walked closer, stopped, looked up at the carriage, and after a long time of silence, he slowly spoke: "Do you really think I won't kill you?"

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Li Shen, who had changed into a cotton suit, walked out of it.

He hadn't seen him for several months, and he lost a lot of weight again, but he was still very energetic, with a pair of strict and bright spirits.

"You are an ambitious person and are very decisive."

Li Shen stroked his hands and said, "That day, in the cellar, you didn't ask someone to come to me, so I knew you wouldn't attack me."

Li Xin grinned: "What if I change my mind now?"

"The smarter a person will be, the more confident he will be, and the less likely he will be to shake it."

Li Xin's face was calm and he didn't reply.

"How did you escape?"

Li Xin smiled: "It has been two or three months since the last time I burned Yonglefang. Is it strange that I have grown up in this capital since I was young and escaped in two or three months?"

Of course it's strange.

Today's capital city is loose on the outside and tight on the inside. On the surface, all the city gates have been opened and pedestrians are free to pass through. However, in fact, every city gate has a guard or even a person from Tianmujian watching. As long as there are people suspected of Li Shen, the guards will follow them and then arrest them to confirm their identity.

In the more than a month since the city gate opened, the guards have privately arrested dozens of people with similar figures as Li Xin.

But this Pingnan Hou ran out in such an understatement.

He even had the leisure to run to himself to show off.

Li Xin looked sideways into the carriage, then a smile appeared on his face: "Where is Mrs. Li?"

"I sent her away yesterday."

Compared to Li Xin, who was expressionless, this Pingnan Hou, who was actually "dead", was much more relaxed, and there was even a smile on his face.

"But I still have to stay and deal with some things. Today, I heard that you are going to leave here, so I rushed over to meet you."

Jing'an Hou showed a sarcastic smile on his lips.

"Come and thank me for spareing your life."

Li Shen nodded, still very calm.

"I have to say, it surprised me that you were able to find me where I was that day. It was the closest time I had to die in so many years."

"What you said that day also made me very angry."

Li Shen smiled and said, "But later I calmed down. No one in this world can do it completely. You won that confrontation, but if you gave me a chance, I haven't lost yet."

"So I decided to go back to southern Xinjiang."

Li Xin sneered: "Even if I let you go today, and when you return to southern Xinjiang, few of the Northern Zhou tribes you secretly win over will be able to reach Shu County alive."

"They weren't expected to be alive."

Pingnan Hou smiled and said, "These people are left for you to kill. Although the Northern Zhou clan has declined over the years, many of them have a great reputation in the Shilin. If the little emperor kills them, they will be criticized as a tyrant. Then I will do better in southern Xinjiang."

After pausing, he continued, "The reason why I let the Zheng family in Xingyang enter the capital is to let you and the little emperor discover this and attack the Northern Zhou clan. Otherwise, why would the Zheng family come to the capital to die?"

In fact, none of the twenty-seven people in the Zheng family in Xingyang died.

Li Xin looked at this middle-aged man who looked a little like him in shock.

"There are the Li family of Zhaojun among those Northern Zhou clans..."

"No."

Li Shen's face was calm: "The core figure of the Li family in Zhaojun has arrived in Shujun a few months ago, and you can't kill them."

Li Xin frowned deeply.

"If you tell me this, aren't you afraid that I will tell Your Majesty to save the lives of these Northern Zhou tribes?"

“It’s better.”

Li Shen smiled: "Those people helped me no matter how much they said. It's a pity that they died. It's not bad that they can survive. Anyway, no matter whether they live or die, they will die in the hearts of the people in the world."

Li Shen's words mean that no matter whether Emperor Taikang killed the Northern Zhou clans or not, they would spread rumors that the emperor was a tyrant.

The Pingnan Hou looked up at Li Xin and smiled and said, "Besides, with that carefully fabricated manifesto, it is unlikely that the little emperor will be able to keep his anger and not kill anyone."

"His heart is much worse than his father."

Li Xin slowly closed his eyes.

He doesn't want to let this person go back now.

In the past, the reason why he deliberately put Li Shen back to southern Xinjiang was because he had enough confidence to beat him and could use southern Xinjiang to strengthen himself. However, after hearing what Li Shen said, Li Xin suddenly felt that he might not be Li Shen's opponent.

The Marquis Jing'an looked around and then looked at the dozen or so guards not far away from him.

"Marty Li is so frank and not afraid that I will catch you back now?"

"You won't catch me."

Li Shen said calmly: "You are very confident, and even reach the point of being arrogant. You have to climb to a higher place through southern Xinjiang, so you won't catch me."

Speaking of this, a smile appeared on Li Shen's face.

"Also, I was searched for me in the capital for several months, but I didn't find it. You, Li Xin, found it as soon as you came out. How should that little emperor miss you?"

Li Xin said silently.

"Look, just because your surname is Li, no matter what you do, you will be hindered when doing things in the capital. You need to pay attention to this and that."

Li Shen climbed onto his carriage while talking.

"I came to see you this time just to tell you that you gave me a chance and I will give you one too. The conditions I said at the Marquis of Pingnan last time remain unchanged. If you are willing to help me, come to Nanjiang to find me."

"When you arrive in southern Xinjiang, you don't have to restrain yourself like in the capital. There can even be a final say."

Li Xin looked at the carriage and showed a disdainful smile on his lips: "Li Shen, are you afraid of me?"

"I'm a little scared."

Li Shen's voice came from the carriage.

"You beat me last time, so I'm not sure if you beat you next time. In comparison, you're much harder than the little emperor sitting on the throne."

Li Shen was silent for a while and then said, "Actually, what I can't figure out is that I have sent someone to check. You are just a young man who grew up in Yongzhou. Before entering Beijing, you have always been ordinary, but why did you suddenly become a deep-minded Marquis of Jing'an?"

Li Xin had no expression on his face.

"Because of a heavy snow in Chengde for 17 years, I was frozen."

"Get out, let me see you in a stick of incense, and I will leave you here."

Li Shen in the carriage sighed.
