To be honest, the reason why Li Xin chose to fight the four auxiliary ministers head-on was largely because he wanted to make a ruthless attitude that he could not suffer any grievance, otherwise he would have to fight you to the end. In this way, no matter who was the auxiliary minister, no matter what the result of the matter was, no one would dare to attack the Jing'an Marquis Mansion or the Right Camp of the Imperial Army afterwards.

But if we only want to achieve this goal, it is enough to directly sue the auxiliary ministers with ill intentions. There is no need to bring things to the point where the emperor takes power in advance. The reason why Li Xin did this was naturally to try to attract the little emperor.

The current emperor of Yuan Zhao has been growing up since he was five or six years old. When he was a child, he chased behind Li Xin and called him very hard-working. Over the years, Li Xin regarded him as a junior. At this time, he naturally wanted to help him.

But unfortunately, this kindness did not gain good intentions. Instead, this "junior" personally rejected Li Xin's proposal.

It is impossible to say that you are not disappointed at all.

However, since Emperor Yuan Zhao has ascended the throne and sat in that position, he is different from His Royal Highness the former crown prince. He needs to think about the problem from the emperor's standpoint. Therefore, although Li Xin was a little disappointed with his performance, he could still understand it.

But for him, these court battles were all intricate details, and he was too lazy to fight with those old men, otherwise he would just send Shen Gang or someone from Tianmujian to check the old men’s background, and ensure that none of them were clean and all of them had shit on his butt.

And he, Taifu Li, was an official for more than ten years, and was born to be invincible in court battles.

At the moment, Li Xin was not interested in fighting with those old men anymore. For him, the most important thing was to save Lin Hu and ensure that he would not have any trouble.

Lin Hu is the son of Lin Huowen. Ten years ago, Li Xin returned to his hometown, and Lin Huowen entrusted this son to Li Xin. Until now, Lin Hu is still unmarried because Li Xin was arranged to be responsible for Tianlei by Li Xin. If he was gone like this, Li Xin would really have no face to see Uncle Lin again.

The carriage from the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion walked slowly on the official road in the south of the city for two days.

On the third night, after it was completely dark, the group stayed in a small town. Li Xin got up in the middle of the night and gently pushed the sleeping Ninth Princess beside her.

The Ninth Princess opened her eyes sleepily, rubbed her eyes, and saw Li Xin who was already dressed in neatly.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?"

After all, she was born in the royal family and was not as panicked as an ordinary woman. She just asked this question.

Li Xin sighed slowly.

"Hu Zi was caught. I have to rush to the southwest as soon as possible and find a way to rescue him."

The couple has been married for ten years, and the Ninth Princess naturally knew who the "huzi" mentioned by Li Xin was. She also understood the importance of things, so she just frowned and nodded in agreement.

She turned to look at the dark sky outside and sighed: "Are you leaving now?"

Li Xin nodded.

"Shen Gang is already waiting for me outside. I will go to the southwest with him. Madam, you will continue to rush forward with the people from the Marquis' Mansion and wait for me in Yongzhou."

Speaking of this, Li Xin paused.

"There will be people staring at our family along the way. Madam should be careful and try to pretend that I am still in the carriage, and at least it will be hidden for a day or two."

Princess Nine nodded, stretched out her hand to wrap her neck, and sighed softly: "You have been running around outside all these years, and I can't help you with anything."

Marquis Jing'an smiled and shook his head.

"My wife helped me manage this family so that I had no worries, and it was the biggest help."

The couple hugged each other for a while, and then Li Xin left.

Before leaving, he went to the next room to see his sleeping pair of children, and covered his oldest daughter who was not honest in sleeping.

It was midnight at this time.

Chen Gang was waiting outside with a dozen people, holding Li Xin's mo horse. When he saw Li Xin wearing black clothes coming over, he immediately lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Marty!"

Li Xin had no expression on his face.

"Let's go."

There were about ten behind Chen Gang, all bowing their heads respectfully.

"yes!"

Li Xin turned over the horse, took a look at Chen Gang after getting on the horse, and then said, "How many people are leaving Beijing together?"

Chen Gang also got on the horse at this time, and he replied: "About 270 people, they all followed their subordinates out of the capital."

"Except for more than ten of us, everyone else stayed to secretly protect the wife, as well as the family of the Marquis' Mansion."

"yes!"

After saying this, Li Xin shook the reins, the mo horse niggled his neck, and his horse took the lead and ran towards the southwest.

Chen Gang and others sighed, and they all pulled the reins and followed Li Xin only.

This time, it was their poor protection for Lin Hu that led to Li Xin going to the southwest to wipe their butts. Although Li Xin had not had time to punish Chen Gang and others, they could see that their marquis was angry.

And counting the time, it has been almost half a month since Lin Hu was arrested. It took seven or eight days to arrive from here even if he doesn't sleep. Moreover, it is impossible for people and horses to stay awake. It will be as fast as ten days after they arrive in Jincheng.

Ten days later, Mr. Lin Hu had been arrested for a month. If the enemy was really malicious, it would be difficult to survive in a month.

If Lin Hu really died in Jincheng, those who were responsible for protecting Lin Hu might have to be banned from the thunderous anger of their marquis.

Chen Gang was one of the first people to follow Li Xin. After more than ten years, he knew very well what kind of cruel man his marquis, who seemed harmless on weekdays, was in his bones!

Along the way, Li Xin basically said nothing.

The group traveled day and night, and after eight days of travel, they finally arrived at Jincheng on the morning of the ninth day.

There were also people from the Jing'an Marquis Mansion in Jincheng. They informed Mu Ying and Zhao Jia early. When they arrived in Jincheng, the two of them had been waiting at the city gate for a long time.

Li Xin, who jumped off Mo Zhi immediately, was slightly embarrassed.

During these eight days, he was traveling except for eating and sleeping, and he didn't even have time to wash his face. His hair was a little disorganized, his face was not very clean, and his expression was tired.

Not only him, but even the Mo Zhima, who claims to be able to travel thousands of miles a day, has shown signs of fatigue at this moment.

Zhao Jia and Mu Ying surrounded him and bowed to Li Xin.

"I've met the Marquis."

Both of them can be regarded as Li Xin's friends. They always smile when they meet on weekdays, but this time, both of them lost their smiles and their faces were serious.

Marquis Li also had no expression on his face.

"Is there any clue?"

Mu Ying looked ashamed and lowered her head and said, "Return to the Marquis, in the past month, the whole city has been searched almost everywhere, and there is no sign of Brother Lin..."

"The woman who is close to Brother Lin is a Qing Gongren in a brothel in Jincheng. We also checked the brothel, but still couldn't find any clues about Brother Lin. He seemed to have... disappeared out of thin air."

Zhao Jia, who was beside him, looked at Li Xin with a tired face and sighed a long time.
