There are some things that cannot be escaped.

If Li Xin chose to go back to the northern border at this time, and shrank his neck and continued to be the general of the Zhenbei Dynasty granted him by the imperial court, then the conflicts may not break out in a short period of time, but over time, they will definitely be ten times more violent than they are now.

So he had to go back to the capital and handle this matter well.

First, for the stability of the southwest, and second, for the family in the capital.

But everything depends on the emperor's attitude.

If Emperor Taikang wants to turn against him after he returns to the capital, then Li Xin will have to find a way to get his family out of the capital and then flee to the southwest to officially raise the flag to rebel.

Of course, based on Li Xin's understanding of the emperor, the probability of such a thing happening is very low.

On the third day after the imperial army began to withdraw, Li Xin took Chen Gang and a hundred people to say goodbye to Mu Ying at the gate of Hanzhou City.

The people he took away were all from Jizhou City to Hanzhou. As for the people who came from Yongzhou, Li Xin did not let them leave.

Because after this, it was too dangerous for them.

Because of these people, Li Xin specifically instructed Mu Ying.

"Brother Mu, these brothers from Yongzhou may have to live in Hanzhou City in the past few years. You have to arrange a place for them to live."

Mu Ying's eyes lit up.

Others don’t know, but he knows clearly that those "sky thunders" are mostly created by more than a hundred people. He was thinking about how to keep these people, but he nodded constantly when he heard this, his mouth was grinning behind his ears.

"Don't worry, Master, I will take good care of these brothers."

Li Xin could naturally see his thoughts. Seeing this, he pulled him to a remote place and said lightly: "These people who leave Hanzhou City will most likely be targeted by the people of the court outside, so they have to live with you."

Mu Ying patted her chest: "Don't worry, Marquis, I will protect them."

Marquis Jing'an's face was calm.

"Do you think they can make thunder, don't you?"

Mu Ying scratched her head,

"Didn't those clay pots be made by them?"

Li Xin nodded.

"You and I are brothers, I won't hide it from you."

"They did make those things, but they need to make them powder, and they will be useful. None of these people can make that kind of powder."

Mu Ying smiled bitterly: "Mr. Marquis, I won't be greedy for your things, you..."

Marquis Jing'an said lightly: "I haven't decided whether to make this thing happen in the world yet. I won't tell anyone for the time being, but my brother Lin Hu can prepare pharmaceutical powder. I told him that if there is danger in Hanzhou City, he will help you."

Speaking of this, Li Xin's face became solemn.

"I haven't told anyone about this, because if someone knows that Hu Zi can make medicine powder for outsiders, even if he lives in Hanzhou City, it may be dangerous."

"Brother Mu, even Ling Zun cannot disclose this matter."

The power of this killer is so tempting. If Li Xin left Hanzhou, the Mu family knew about Lin Hu, even if Mu Ying didn't have the intention, the Mu family would be likely to attack Lin Hu.

Of course, with Hu Zi's personality, if someone forces him to do something to betray Xin Ge'er, he will probably die.

To be honest, Li Xin was very worried that Lin Hu stayed anywhere, but he really could not take him to Beijing, so he could only place him in Hanzhou City. To put it bluntly, if Li Xin went to Beijing this time and fell into the capital, Lin Hu, the only person who mastered gunpowder prescriptions besides Li Xin, would have the chance to rescue Li Xin.

Mu Ying also had a solemn face.

He said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Chang'an, you can't tell me if you speak and hear me. There will never be a third person to know."

"From today on, I sleep alone, and I don't even let others hear my sleep."

Li Xin laughed and patted his shoulder.

"There is no need to do this. Brother Mu just pay attention to it on weekdays."

After he finished talking to Mu Ying, he walked into the crowd and called Lin Hu out.

This pair of brothers who grew up in Qishan walked side by side.

You should know that even Mu Ying, who was a friend of Li Xin, was deliberately or unintentionally behind Li Xin's body when walking with Li Xin. Only Lin Hu, who grew up with Li Xin since childhood, can be so natural and unrestrained.

After walking for a while, they arrived at a place where there were no people. Li Xin took his hand out of the sleeve and patted Lin Hu on the shoulder.

"I originally wanted to wait until your mourning period expires, so I asked you to go back to Beijing to marry a wife and pass on the family line to Uncle Lin. But now that this is the case, you may not be able to return to Beijing for a while."

Speaking of this, Li Xin sighed.

"You can only be safer if you live in Hanzhou City."

Lin Hu nodded silently and said with a smile: "Brother Xin doesn't need to do this. I live everywhere. This place is much better than our hometown."

Li Xin nodded silently.

"Although Mu Ying believes in me, the people in Hanzhou City may not be trustworthy. If you live here, remember that no matter who asks you, whether it is indirect or intentional or not, you must not disclose it. That thing was made by you!"

"The Mu family is not good either."

Li Xin took a deep breath and said, "If you encounter anything, go find Mu Ying, he can believe it."

Lin Hu nodded, stretched out his relatively rough right hand, hesitated for a moment, and patted Li Xin on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, Brother Xin, I understand."

Speaking of this, he lowered his head and was silent for a while, and slowly said, "You... need to be careful."

"The water in the capital is very mixed, Brother Xin, you must be careful at all times."

Li Xin smiled.

"Don't worry, the water in the capital is all mixed up for me."

Lin Hu showed a slightly honest smile on his face.

"Brother Xin, I have figured it out these days. If someone in the capital makes things difficult for you, I will use that thing to save you."

Looking at the brother who grew up with him, Li Xin was a little moved. He hugged Lin Hu's shoulder and breathed out.

"Okay, it's getting late, I'm leaving."

"Don't worry, when my uncle and I came into the capital in single clothes, we could have been doing well in the capital. Now I am the Marquis of Jing'an, the General of Zhenbei, and the Prince of the Crown Prince of the court. The capital is many times thicker than I did back then."

Marquis Jing'an smiled and said, "I can't lose."

As he said that, he had returned to Mu Ying and the people who were seeing him off. He placed Lin Hu next to Mu Ying, then turned over and got on his own Mo Zhima.

Mu Ying stood by the roadside and clasped her fists at Li Xin.

"Mr. Marquis, take care of everything."

"I haven't seen my nephew yet, and I'm still waiting to come to the capital to find you to drink."

Li Xin sat on the horse and waved to Mu Ying.

"Brother Mu, don't worry, when that baby grows up, I will let him recognize you as his master. There are many opportunities for you to see him in the future."

General Mu laughed a long time.

"Okay, I'll recognize this disciple with shamelessness!"

Li Xin sat on the horse and hugged the person who came to see him off in Hanzhou Prefecture.

"When things are over, I'll invite you all to drink in the Qinhuai River in the capital!"

Most of the people in Hanzhou have never been in the capital, and only Mu Ying, who has been a general for two years, laughed happily.

"After the marquis speaks, don't blame the debt."

He said with a long smile.
