Chapter 243 The gentleman knows how to advance and retreat

Of course, Li Xin could not and should not be in the southwest. He was in the southwest, and this matter was led by him and could not be separated from this responsibility.

He was not in the southwest, so he left a lot of room for this matter. He had many positions, but no half of the positions were about the southwest. No matter what happened in the southwest, he could say it was not his business.

Therefore, after discussing with Li Shu and three others for the whole night, Li Xin would set off to leave Jincheng the next day.

Originally, he shouldn't have been in Jincheng now, but should have visited his mother's grave in Yongzhou.

He left the team halfway and ran to Jincheng. However, after so long, no matter how stupid the court was, he should know that he was no longer in Yongzhou. But it doesn’t matter. These are all things in the dark. As long as they are not placed on the table, they can be regarded as never before.

When it was getting light, Li Xin stretched out from the study room of the Shu Palace. Li Shuo and three others followed him and walked out of the study room.

Mu Ying walked behind Li Xin and said helplessly: "The Marquis didn't close his eyes all night. Even if he wanted to leave, he would have a rest for a day and then leave tomorrow."

Li Xin smiled and shook his head: "It's not that I'm driving, just sleep in the carriage for a while. It's been a few days since I came to Jincheng. My wife and two children are in Yongzhou. I'm afraid something will happen to them."

Mu Ying also knew Li Xin's personality, and as long as he made a decision, he could not change it easily. He sighed and said, "Then I will send the Marquis out of the city."

Marquis Jing'an smiled and said, "I'm afraid Brother Mu will have to give me a team of guards. If we kill so many plum blossom guards, they may be in trouble for me."

Meihuawei was a member of the court. Logically speaking, they could not arrest Li Xin without the orders above, nor did they dare to arrest Li Xin. However, Li Xin is in Yongzhou now, and if they arrest Li Xin in the southwest, they would only have the same name and surname at most.

The Plum Blossom Guard is also a human being. During this period, at least dozens or hundreds of people died at the hands of the Hanzhou Army. Maybe they would do something urgent to jump over the wall.

“This is natural.”

Mu Ying lowered her head and said, "In recent years, her subordinates have also selected a group of young men from the Hanzhou army. They trained according to the standards of the Yulin Guard. Now they have seen their first appearance and can be assigned 500 people to protect the Marquis."

Li Xin shook his head.

"Five hundred are too many, one or two hundred are enough."

Several people said this, and Li Xin's carriage had been led by Shen Gang. He bowed deeply to Li Xin: "Marty, you are all ready."

Li Xin nodded and bent his body into the carriage.

After getting in the car, he lifted the curtain and waved to Zhao Jia.

"Brother You'an, get in the car and talk."

Zhao Jia was slightly stunned, then walked to the carriage, and was pulled in by Li Xin.

Just as Shen wanted to get in and drive, he heard Li Xin's voice in the carriage.

"Shen Gang, please avoid it."

Shen Gang nodded immediately, left the carriage and was nearly seven or eight meters away, and began to guard the surroundings.

In the carriage, only Li Xin and Zhao Jia were left.

Li Xin took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Zhao Jia.

Zhao Jia frowned: "Marty, what is this?"

Marquis Jing'an smiled indifferently: "The prescription of Tianlei."

Zhao Jia was so scared that she shivered by this sentence that she almost threw the paper out.

This is something that even the emperor dreams of!

Now, except Lin Hu, only Li Xin knows the whole world. Now, this thing that is enough to change the world is handed over to himself in his hands!

Zhao Jia took a deep breath, calmed down his mood, and his voice trembled slightly.

"Marty...what does this mean?"

Li Xin's face was calm: "The doctor said that Hu Zi's injury will take at least two or three months to get out of bed. It will probably take more than half a year to fully recover. Jincheng needs to make a thunder in the sky. Hu Zi can't get out of bed, so he can only leave it to Brother You'an to do it."

"The more than a hundred craftsmen brought to Jincheng by Huzi were also handed over to Brother You'an. These people were brought by Huzi in Yongzhou. Brother You'an should make good use of them."

Zhao Jia looked at the thin piece of paper in his hand and felt it was a huge weight. He swallowed and spitted and smiled bitterly: "Would you not be afraid that I would betray the Southwest and go to the court if I put this kind of thing in my hands?"

"No doubt about hiring people."

Marquis Jing'an smiled slightly: "There are so many people under his command. If you are suspicious of this and that, then don't want to have a good night's sleep."

Speaking of this, Li Xin glanced at the piece of paper in Zhao Jia's hand and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Besides, this thing is actually not as powerful as you think."

The thunder was so amazing in its first two appearances that its effect was amplified in most people's hearts. In fact, this thing is only useful when defending the city, and may also have miraculous effects when siegeing the city, but if the two armies fight tug-of-war or confront head-on on the battlefield, its effect is not that great.

It is definitely not as good as cold weapons such as crossbows.

In other words, it is not enough to change the outcome of a head-on war.

Even so, Li Xin took some risks when he handed this thing over to Zhao Jia. Although Zhao Jia did not take charge of the troops, he was basically the highest executive in the southwest, with a high position and power. He had the thunder in his hands. If he was connected with Mu Ying and Li Shuo, there would be nothing Li Xin would have to do in the southwest.

But this kind of worry is a bit redundant, just like worrying whether Shen Gang would actually be from the Meihua Guard, and he turned around and stabbed Li Xin with a knife.

In life, it is of course a good thing to be more sensible, but if you fiddle with your mind no matter what you do, suspicion will not only be self-confidence, but also achieve nothing.

Zhao Jia lowered his head and was silent for a long time, but still did not open the thin piece of paper. He lowered his head and said, "Mr. Marquis can actually change to do this. I am the worst choice."

Li Xin narrowed his eyes.

"Why, Brother You'an is unwilling to take this responsibility?"

Zhao Jia shook his head slightly: "I'm not suitable. I don't know how many things to deal with in Jincheng every day. It's impossible for me to deal with government affairs during the day and get this thunder at night. It's too late."

He took a deep breath and glanced at the paper.

"Mr. Marquis, it's better to leave this job to others. For example, Shen Gang, who has been following you, is a very good candidate."

Li Xin shook his head and said, "I have considered Shen Gang, but he has other things to do with me and can't stay in Jincheng all the time."

Shen Gang is responsible for Li Xin's personal safety and Li Xin's intelligence network. If he is not by Li Xin's side, Li Xin will probably find it difficult to be clear-headed.

After all, it is not easy to cultivate someone who is absolutely trusted.

Zhao Jia hesitated for a while and spoke slowly: "Otherwise, I will help the Marquis choose a person to do this, and I won't read this piece of paper."

Li Xin shook his head helplessly: "Brother You'an is so careful, I'm not the kind of narrow-minded person..."

"A gentleman should know the advancement and retreat. My authority in the southwest is already heavy enough. It shouldn't be, nor can I go further."

Zhao Jia sighed and hugged Li Xin and fisted.

"I met the Marquis for a while, and I don't want to be disloyal because of this incident in the future. It's better to start and end well."

Li Xin stopped insisting and said, "What does Brother You'an mean?"
