Although Mianzhu is not too far from Yongzhou, it is still a distance. Even if it is a fast horse, it will take nearly five days to reach this distance.

At this point in time, what Li Xin should do is stay in Mianzhu, then start to accept Jincheng, and then take this great contribution step by step into his stomach and slowly digest it, instead of leaving Mianzhu at this critical moment.

However, Li Xin's purpose of coming to the southwest was not to make meritorious service. He just wanted to force Li Shen to bow his head and force Li Shen to apologize to his mother.

Everyone will regard promotion and wealth as a top priority, but Li Xin will not. At least Li Xin will not do it at the moment. If he stays in Mianzhu now, it will be really putting the cart before the horse.

Li Shen stood there and quietly looked at Li Xin.

"What if I don't go?"

Marquis Jing'an sat on the horse and raised his head slightly.

"If you don't go, I really may not remember what Li Shuo said to me."

This sentence was very lethal to Li Shen. The reason why he decided to surrender was because Li Xin promised them to protect a large part of the Pingnan Army, but this initiative was always in the hands of Li Xin. Li Xinyuan was unwilling to do this, all within his thoughts.

Li Shen had no expression on his face.

After a while, he slowly spoke: "You are not in Mianzhu, who is in charge of the affairs of Mianzhu?"

Li Xin's face was calm.

"We will go to Yongzhou here for a trip for up to ten days. In ten days, the Jiange will not be thrown away. In these ten days, the people from Jincheng will send out swords, armor, bows and crossbows. Ten days later, you and I will come back, and I will start to attack the city."

"Five days after the siege, you will open the city and surrender. I will have an excuse to report that many people have died in your Pingnan Army."

"During the time I left, Zhao Jia was the decision in Mianzhu City. I explained him in advance and there would be no trouble."

General Zhu Kingdom took a deep breath and walked to another horse. He did not turn over the horse, but looked at Li Xin.

"You are so trusting?"

Li Xin smiled.

"General, although people must be smarter in this world and cannot be deceived, sometimes they must trust some people. If they stand too high, no one can believe it, and then nothing can be done."

Li Shen lowered his head slightly.

"I'll go and explain to my subordinates, please wait for me for a while."

After a while, the two riders rushed past the streets of Mianzhucheng, breaking through the silent night.

Not long after the two riders walked over, forty or fifty black armored knights followed closely behind the two riders.

Li Xin’s identity is different from the past. It is unlikely that he will go out alone to do things like before. When his identity is placed here, someone must protect him.

Two people and forty or fifty horses left the city at night.

On the city tower, Zhao Jia, who was still dressed in white and Ye Mao in armor, looked at these people from afar.

The white-clad county magistrate smiled.

"I heard about the old story of the Marquis before, and even outsider, I felt angry. Now a few years have passed, and our Marquis finally got what we want."

Ye Mao shook his head slightly.

"I have also heard about Uncle Li, but at this moment, he should not leave the city, but should stay in Mianzhu to take charge of the overall situation."

"The young master still doesn't understand the marquis."

Zhao Jia lowered his eyebrows and said, "The value of Marquis is very different from that of us. For him, what he is doing now is far more important than that of Mianzhu."

"My husband, before leaving, the marquis ordered him to take charge of Mianzhu."

Ye Mao nodded and said, "Everything is something that you can listen to."

"From dawn tomorrow, Mianzhu is on high alert, and people from Jincheng will likely take advantage of the opportunity to send swords, armor, bows and crossbows to plot against Mianzhu."

"Don't be careful. Once you find something wrong, you will immediately return to Mianzhu and defend the city, and no longer communicate with Jincheng."

Ye Mao nodded.

"Don't worry, sir, Ye Mao understands."

………………………………………

For five or six days, Li Xin and Li Shen were both busy rushing to the road and had almost no communication with each other.

On the morning of the sixth day, Qiyang County was already far away.

The two of them walked apart again. Marquis Jing'an stopped his horse and glanced at Qishan, which was already looking up.

He spoke slowly.

"Qishan is ahead."

Li Shen nodded and said, "I have been here before. When I was recuperating in Qiyang County, I once went up the mountain with your mother to play."

Li Xin had no expression on his face.

"She is buried in the mountain now."

Li Shen slowly closed his eyes.

"Just take me up."

Li Xin sneered, shook the reins, and the red horse under his command neighed and ran towards Qishan.

Originally, Li Xin's mount was the Imperial Horse, but when he walked on the Yinping Ancient Road, it was impossible for the horse to come, so Li Xin left it with Didao. Now he rode his horse, which was the spoils he got from Cheng Ping.

The two cavalry rushed towards Qishan, and forty or fifty black-armored Yulin Guards followed closely behind, bringing a burst of dust.

Finally, almost an hour later, Li Xin and Li Shen arrived at the foot of the Qishan Mountains.

At the foot of the mountain, there is a staircase paved with bluestone. The stone slabs look very new, and it is obvious that they have only been made in the past two years.

Yes, there was no bluestone road here, because Li Xin's mother, the second-rank imperial lady, buried it, so this road was built here.

This road was not yet completed when Li Xin left, and now he can go directly to Li Xin's mother's grave.

Marquis Jing'an took the lead in dismounting, then looked up at Li Shen, and shouted in a low voice: "Drop off!"

Since General Zhuguo became an adult, no one dared to talk to him like this, but now that Li Xin yelled, he felt surprisingly calm in his heart. He did not speak much, but calmly dismounted.

Two people walked slowly up the bluestone staircase, one in front and one behind.

The stairs were very long. It took about half an hour before the two of them came to a flat ground. On this flat ground, there was a tomb built strictly in accordance with the second-rank regulations of the imperial court.

In order to flatter Li Xin, local officials built a small temple next to the tomb. The temple enshrines the portrait of Li Xin's mother, which is called the locals.

Next to the tomb, there is a small wooden house, and there are several animal skins hanging on the wooden house door.

Li Xin knew in his heart that Uncle Lin had moved here.

In the summer of the first year of Taikang, before leaving Qiyang, he instructed Uncle Lin to help take care of his mother's tomb. Most of the Uncle Lin, who was born as a hunter, simply moved to his mother's tomb.

Li Xin took a deep breath and stepped forward and knocked on the door of the wooden house.

Soon, the door was opened.

Lin Liehuo was grinding his arrows at this moment. After seeing Li Xin coming, he was full of surprise on his face, and then he reacted and bowed his head to salute Li Xin.

"Mr. Marquis, why are you back..."

Li Xin smiled and said, "Take an old friend to visit my mother. Is Uncle Lin a good life in the past two years?"

"It's still the same as before, but life has been much better."

Lin Liewoo grinned and said, "How is Hu Zi living in the capital?"

"fine."

Li Xin lowered his eyebrows and said, "He is now in Yulin Guard, and he is already in the same team and is doing very well."

In fact, Lin Hu is now in Mianzhu, but the southwest is quite dangerous, and Li Xin did not tell the truth.

Lin Liehuo and Li Xin made a few polite words, and then they saw a man not far behind Li Xin, staring at the huge tombstone in a daze.

Lin Liehuo scratched his head and asked Li Xin: "Mr. Marquis, who is this?"

Li Xin also turned around, glanced at Li Shen, and then looked at him without expression.
