The journey was quite smooth.

After all, there are 500 well-equipped imperial guards and more than 100 personal troops of the emperor. Not to mention walking normally, this force is more than enough to go to the mountains to suppress bandits. Naturally, there are no bandits who dare to make a decision.

By mid-June of Taikang, they were very close to the capital.

There is only seven or eight days left at most.

At this time, the officials along the way had already begun to think of ways to please Li Xin. Every time Li Xin passed by a place, the local local officials would line up to give him gifts. Marquis Jing'an usually accepted these gifts.

There is no way, to reach his level, he will be self-deprecating if he wants to find a way.

Originally, he wanted to kill Ji Ku and show his kindness to Emperor Taikang, and he was defamed by himself, but the emperor's actions annoyed Li Xin, so he didn't want to kill Ji Ku. Without this self-defamation method, he naturally had to think about something else to defam himself, so as to give Emperor Taikang some reassurance.

However, to be honest, Li Xin could not do anything about the crime of accepting bribes. He only collected money and did not do anything. In the future, these local officials found him, and he pretended not to know him. Even if the court pursued this matter, he would at most be fined and demoted.

To put it in a bit arrogant, to the point of Li Xin, the grade is actually not very important to him.

The convoy approached the capital day by day.

Young Master Xiao was getting more and more anxious day by day. Finally, when the convoy arrived at Luzhou Prefecture to rest and rest, Eunuch Xiao could no longer bear it and knocked on the door of Li Xin's yard in the evening.

Of course, it was the door that the little boy Zhao Fang opened. After Zhao Fang opened the door, he saw who the person was, and then saluted in a regular manner: "I have met Eunuch Xiao."

Xiao Zheng squatted down with a smile on his face and praised, "Young Master's official words are getting better and better. When he enters the capital, the taste of Shu should be almost dissipated."

Zhao Fang lowered his head and said, "Dadfather-in-law wants to find a teacher?"

Eunuch Xiao nodded and smiled, "It's true that I have to discuss some things with the Marquis. Please tell me if you want to tell me."

Zhao Fang nodded and turned to find Li Xin.

As soon as he took two steps, Xiao Zheng behind him suddenly asked, "Young Master, have you accepted as a disciple?"

Xiao Zhaofang stopped, looked back at Xiao Zheng, then shook his head slightly, and lowered: "I haven't done it yet."

Eunuch Xiao nodded and comforted: "Don't be discouraged. The young master is so smart. The marquis will definitely be willing to bring you into the wall."

"It will be more than enough to learn the marquis for three or four years, and it will be more than enough for the young master to benefit all his life."

Zhao Fang nodded and turned around to report.

After a while, Li Xin, who had washed his face and was studying in the room, walked out yawning.

It was already midsummer now, and Li Xin was only wearing a single dress, quite casually.

He walked to Xiao Zheng, bowed his hand carelessly, and smiled and said, "Eunuch Xiao is here to look for me now, I wonder what's wrong?"

Xiao Zheng hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "There are some secret matters that need to be discussed with the Marquis."

Li Xin was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Then go to my room to talk."

"Zhao Fang, serve tea to Eunuch Xiao."

Xiao Zhaofang nodded immediately and went down to prepare tea.

Xiao Zheng glanced at Xiao Zhao Fang's back and smiled respectfully: "The disciple of Marquis is very well-behaved."

Li Xin shook his head and said calmly: "I haven't accepted him yet, but he is the son of an old friend. His father can be said to have died because of me. Moreover, this little guy is quite smart. Since he wants to recognize me as a teacher, he should accept him, but his father-in-law also knows that Li Xin will make a living in the capital in the future."

Speaking of this, Marquis Jing'an smiled.

"Let's take it with you and take a look at his character before talking about it. Otherwise, if he is involved rashly, his misconduct in the future will be a disaster."

Xiao Zheng was behind Li Xin and stroking his hands and exclaimed: "The Marquis is a rigorous person, and I admire him."

Li Xin reached out and pointed to the room in front and said with a smile: "Let's not talk about this little guy anymore, let's go into the house and talk about the serious business."

Xiao Zheng bowed his head deeply.

The two of them entered the room one by one and one behind. After sitting down in the main and second place, Xiao Zhaofang had already brought the tea up, and Li Xin waved to him.

"You go down first, good students study. When you enter the capital, I will find a good teacher to teach you."

Zhao Fang bowed to Li Xin and said, "I know."

Li Xin frowned, as if he was unhappy because he spoke Shu dialect. The little guy shrank his head and quickly retreated.

Li Xin then turned around and smiled helplessly at Xiao Zheng: "The little guy's accent is hard to change. After he arrives in the capital, he will probably say a few words to the Southern Barbarians."

Speaking of this, Li Xin smiled silently: "When I first entered Beijing, my young master Ye Mao also said to be a southern barbarian."

Xiao Zheng smiled and said respectfully: "Mr. Marquis, you are a phoenix among people. With your care, this child will have a bright future."

Li Xin's smile on his face calmed down and said to Xiao Zheng in a deep voice: "Eunuch Xiao, what secret thing to say?"

Xiao Zheng was silent for a while, and finally stood up from the chair and bowed deeply to Li Xin.

Li Xin's face changed, and he stood up, reached out to hold Xiao Zheng, frowned and said, "What is Eunuch Xiao doing?"

Xiao Zheng gritted his teeth and said, "There is one thing that must be helped by the Marquis."

Li Xin said solemnly: "Eunuch Xiao is a confidant around His Majesty. Eunuch Xiao means His Majesty's meaning. If you have anything to say, Li Xin has no choice."

When Xiao Zheng heard this, his face changed drastically.

"Mr. Marquis, this matter has nothing to do with Your Majesty!"

Marquis Jing'an smiled and helped Xiao Zheng back to his seat, and said with a smile: "That's okay. When Eunuch Xiao was working in the Wei Palace, we recognized him. It was a friendship for several years. If Eunuch Xiao had anything to do, just say it."

Xiao Zheng hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and went straight to the point.

"Mr. Marquis, do you think His Highness, the family of King Qin..."

"Should you enter the capital?"

Marquis Jing'an frowned slightly and looked at Xiao Zheng: "Is this what Your Majesty mean?"

Xiao Zheng shook his head repeatedly.

"But it has nothing to do with Your Majesty, but I am close to Your Majesty, so I always have to think about it for Your Majesty. After all, this King of Qin has been... the prince, and there are still many rumors between the court and the country, saying that it was the time..."

"Anyway, if His Highness the King of Qin enters the capital, it will be a huge trouble!"

"Your Majesty is worried about brotherhood and is unwilling to kill His Highness the King of Qin, but for His Majesty's sake, I wonder if I can make His Highness the King of Qin die on the road unexpectedly..."

Marquis Jing'an frowned.

"Eunuch Xiao, this is the eldest son of the late emperor and his majesty's brothers."

"He died on the way to Beijing. When the imperial court and the clan government pursued him, will you be responsible or should I be responsible?"

"I'm responsible!"

Xiao Zheng gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "It's just a death. If the court pursues the matter, the marquis can completely shirk it to me. If I can share my worries with His Majesty a little, I will die with a smile!"

Li Xin then looked at Xiao Zheng seriously.

It is not unreasonable for this young eunuch to be able to achieve this position at a young age.

He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and finally looked at Xiao Zheng.

"Eunuch Xiao, are you sure that doing this will be beneficial to Your Majesty?"

Xiao Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then asked back: "What does the Marquis mean?"

"There is no other meaning, just let Eunuch Xiao confirm it."

Li Xin looked serious,
