Chapter six hundred and twelve on the road
Since Mrs. Yu has come, she has absolutely no reason to let her go.
First of all, Li Xin hated this woman very much. It would be fine if she didn't catch her, but she came to the door by herself, so Li Xin could not let her go again.
Besides, Xiao Zheng also saw her.
When Xiao Zheng saw her, it means that Emperor Taikang also saw her. If Li Xin let her go, he could find a reason to cover it up after returning to the capital. Emperor Taikang would also give Li Xin this face, but secretly it would hurt the relationship.
Unless Li Xin finds a way to kill Xiao Zheng.
Of course, this is also impossible. Li Xin has no starting point to do such adventures for this woman. As long as he goes back to the capital honestly, he will be glorious. There is no reason for Li Shen to do such stupid things because of a word.
After hearing Li Xin's words, Li Shen suddenly became depressed.
He was silent for a while before he slowly spoke: "Li Xin, everything is that I am sorry for you mother and son, but Ayu did not do anything unforgivable. It doesn't matter if I can die, but she doesn't think she is dead..."
Li Xin looked at Li Shen with a slight smile.
"How did the general know that she had not done anything unforgivable?"
Li Shen groaned: "I have asked someone to check your previous conflict. At best, she drove you out of the capital because of some women's hearts, and made the people of Jingzhao Mansion embarrassed you, but nothing happened to you, and..."
General Li really had no choice. He was reluctant to reason with Li Xin.
He is a person who doesn't talk much. If he has a little trick to use now, he won't talk to Li Xin here.
However, his words were also ruthlessly interrupted by Marquis Jing'an.
Li Xin's tone was cold.
"You said she did not do anything bad, do you know that the time she drove me out of the capital was in the twelfth lunar month of the 17th year of Chengde. It was snowing every day, and I was only wearing a very thin single dress."
Li Xin looked up at Li Shen and said lightly: "It was very cold that day."
Li Shen didn't understand what Li Xin meant. He was stunned for a while and said, "What does it mean?"
"I'm dead."
Marquis Jing'an looked at Li Shen's eyes and repeated.
"Frozen to death."
General Li frowned even deeper, and he couldn't understand what Li Xin was talking about.
Li Xin took a deep breath, calmed down his mood, and then said coldly: "My uncle is dead too!"
"I was frozen to death in that dilapidated temple. My mother asked my uncle to take me to the capital to find you. She still believed that you were not a bad person until she died. She believed that after I went to the capital, I would have a good life!"
"She even told me and my uncle to tell us to be more at ease after going to the capital and not cause trouble for you."
"As a result, my uncle froze to death in the dilapidated temple outside the capital!"
"Because of you, because of your Jade Madam!"
Li Xin sneered: "Since you have investigated that matter, you should know my uncle's death. Even so, you still say that she did not do anything unforgivable, that is to say, in your heart, my uncle's life is not considered life, right?"
Li Shen had nothing to say, after all, he had an unshirkable responsibility for this matter from beginning to end.
"I'm not in the capital, I didn't talk about this with Ayu..."
"Yes, General Li has forgotten, how could he mention this matter to Mrs. Li?"
Li Xin smiled: "Today, Mrs. Li let me see what a deep love between husband and wife means. This marquis does not have the habit of breaking up a couple. Since she has come, she will be a pair of mandarin ducks with the general and go to Beijing together."
Speaking of this, Li Xin carried his hands on his back and turned around and was about to leave.
Li Shen looked at Li Xin's back, and after a while, he finally sighed and spoke slowly.
"Marty Li..."
Li Xin turned around, looked at the middle-aged man who was somewhat similar to him, and said calmly: "What's the matter?"
"Don't worry... I'll find some food to come over, Ayu came over alone, and for several days... I haven't eaten anymore."
Li Xin groaned and continued to walk away.
Li Shen continued: "Tonight, it's best to find a town to rest. Ayu wants to wash her body..."
Li Xintou didn't look back, and he went further and further.
General Zhuguo lowered his head and sighed, turning back to his carriage.
At this time, the white hair on his head seemed to have more.
After returning to the carriage, Li Shen patted Mrs. Yu who was huddled in the corner of the carriage and whispered: "A Yu, how did you... come here?"
Mrs. Yu reached out to hug Li Shen, her voice trembling.
"I woke up that day and couldn't see you anymore, so I asked them to take me to find you. They refused and kept taking me to the mountains..."
"Later, I eavesdropped on them and knew that Jincheng had broken into the city, so I brought some food and escaped secretly. Then I waited for the marquis on the official road of Jincheng to the capital..."
“…”
Li Shen patted her shoulder and sighed a long time.
"Forget it, you and my husband can only live and die together."
The general of the Zhu Kingdom bowed his head sadly.
"I've implicated you."
…………
It takes two or three thousand miles southwest to the capital city, and there are horse-drawn carriages and carriages, and there are infantrymen like the Imperial Guards. It is impossible to walk too fast. Even if Xiao Zheng urges him, he will only be fifty or sixty miles a day, walking slowly on the official road.
In comparison, Marquis Jing'an is not as anxious as Xiao Shaojian. He should eat and sleep along the way, and teach Xiao Zhaofang the truth of being a human being when he has nothing to do. However, he cannot teach him to study, because the books Li Dahou has read are not as much as the little prodigy from the Li family in Zhaojun.
As for the fragmentary matters, they were left to the attentive Eunuch Xiao to handle.
In a blink of an eye, it was the end of May of the third year of Taikang.
In other words, the group has been walking on the road for a month.
If we calculate the distance, they will be able to return to the capital in about half a month.
Everyone was very excited. After all, this group of people came from the Yulin Guards or the Imperial Guards, most of them came from near the capital or the capital. Even the inner guards brought to the southwest of Xiao Zheng were mostly people near the capital, so they had to return to their hometown and were naturally happy.
Especially those who followed Li Xin’s Western Expedition, they were away from Beijing for more than a year, so everyone naturally missed the capital quite a lot.
As for the two prisoners in custody, the deposed prince's mood was quite stable, but he had lost a lot of weight. Now he can only eat four or five bowls of rice a day, and his appetite has been greatly reduced.
As for the general of the Zhu Kingdom, he sat in the carriage with Mrs. Yu along the way and almost never came out.
But as the capital gets closer, someone becomes more and more anxious.
That person is naturally the young supervisor of the eunuch Xiao Zheng and Xiao.
The reason why he was anxious was that the fat King of Qin was still alive...
In this month, His Highness, either intentional or unintentional, escaped many disasters and lived safely until now. Seeing that he was about to return to the capital, Xiao Zheng became more and more impatient.
In recent days, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and forced the doctor to tell him that his Highness the King of Qin had some qi deficiency. Then, he, a slave from the Tian family, began to work hard to make medicine for His Highness the King of Qin.
Every day when I stop to rest, the camp is filled with a strong smell of medicinal herbs.
Marquis Jing'an shook his head in his heart every day when he saw Xiao Zheng busy like this.
Xiao Zhaofang stood behind Li Xin, looked at Eunuch Xiao who was sticking out his butt to make medicine, and asked Li Xin in a low voice: "Teacher, what is Eunuch Xiao doing?"
Li Xin glanced at Xiao Zheng, who was sticking his butt on his back and said angrily.
"Don't worry about him, just let him go."
"Anyway, the fat man can't dare to drink what he gave him."
After saying this, Li Xin turned his head and squatted down, patted Xiao Zhao Fang on the shoulder, and said in a heavy tone.
"Little guy, we will be in the city in about twenty days."
"Remember what I told you?"
Zhao Fang nodded and said in a deep voice: "Remember."
"After entering the capital, my disciples are no longer from the Li family of Zhaojun. As for whether they will still be the future, it depends on my disciple's ability."
Li Xin nodded with satisfaction and said earnestly.
