In fact, Li Xin's words were not completely fabricated. He came to this world and woke up from the dilapidated temple. It was cold and the ground was cold. He only wore a single piece of clothing. It was not until a few days later that he made some money from Deyilou and bought himself a cotton coat.

From that time on, he was extremely afraid of the cold and wrapped himself tightly every winter.

Li Xin was an ordinary white-collar worker in his previous life. Like everyone else, he liked to go to bed late and get up late. In recent years, he was able to get up early in the morning and practice internal martial arts diligently. He has been doing more than ten years. A large part of the reason is that he is afraid that he will die suddenly one day due to his fear of being in poor health.

Fortunately, after more than ten years of practicing domestic martial arts, his body became stronger and stronger. Except for the cold weather in winter, there were no other problems.

Xiao Huai lowered his head and sighed: "I also know that the Grand Tutor has resentment towards the court, but Your Majesty is young after all, and has already realized the problem in the northern border. You are Your Majesty's teacher and should be more tolerant to Your Majesty."

Speaking of this, Xiao Huai smiled bitterly and said, "Before I came, Your Majesty told me that he had not seen the eldest princess for three or four years. Your Majesty was raised by the eldest princess since he was a child. He regards the eldest princess as his mother. Even if you are unwilling to lead troops to the battle, you should take the eldest princess back to Beijing to take a look..."

Marquis Jing'an smiled and said, "When I am well prepared, I will naturally bring the eldest princess back to Beijing. I will ask Eunuch Xiao to tell the emperor on my behalf, saying that there are two major gates in Yunzhou and Jizhou in the northern border. Xianbei people cannot easily enter. When my ministers are well prepared, they will definitely return to Beijing to serve the emperor."

At this time, no matter what the court said, Li Xin could not go back. Now the relationship between the two sides is so stale. Once Li Xin returns to Beijing, it is hard to say whether the court will kill him, but he will definitely be under house arrest, and it is best if Ye Sheng ends up.

Southwest is now confronting the imperial army in Hanzhong. Once Li Xin is locked up in the capital and cannot move, people will be in a state of mind in the southwest, especially Mu Ying and Li Shuo, who are very likely to not accept each other. Then they will start to coax themselves before they can leave Shu.

Xiao Huai opened his mouth long and wanted to say something, but when he saw Li Xin's expression, he did not dare to speak, but just sighed: "The court has the title of Prince Ling, and it is also in the box. I will not read it anymore. The Prince will read it himself."

Li Xin looked back at the wooden box in surprise, and then found a document stamped by the Ministry of War and the Shangshutai from under the imperial edict. The number of words in the document was not large, and the general meaning was to promote Li Ping, the eldest son of Marquis of Jing'an, to General Xuanwu.

This is the fourth-rank Wusan official. When Ye Lin became the General of the Yulin Guard, he was only at this level.

However, these are all honorary titles and are just good-looking in appearance. Li Xin has no longer looked down on the salary and treatment of a fourth-rank official.

Li Xin accepted the document and bowed to Xiao Huai.

"Thank you the angels to express my gratitude to you."

Xiao Huai bowed his head and returned the favor, then looked around and suddenly lowered his voice.

He bowed his head deeply: "Tao Fu, can you speak with a step?"

Li Xin looked at Xiao Huai in surprise, then waved his hand and waved to the servants in the hall: "You all go down."

After dispersing his servants, Li Xin glanced at Xiao Huai and smiled and said, "Eunuch Xiao has something to do?"

Xiao Huai lowered his head, hesitated for a while, and said, "I have something to do, I want to ask the marquis for advice."

Li Xin sat in the main seat of the main hall, squinting his eyes halfway.

"you say."

Xiao Huai gritted his teeth and said, "To be honest, I took over the Meihuawei two years ago. When I reviewed the files in the past two years, I found some problems."

Li Xin looked at Xiao Huai with great interest and smiled: "It turns out that Eunuch Xiao has been promoted in secret, which is a happy congratulation."

Xiao Huai lowered his head and said, "In the first year of Yuan Zhao, the Taifu returned to Yongzhou from the capital to sacrifice his mother, and then left halfway and went to Jincheng."

"Soon after, the Meihua Guards in Jincheng lost 35 people. In the following months, there were more than 400 Meihua Guards who died in Jincheng."

Speaking of this, Xiao Huai paused, then looked up at Li Xin.

"Before the Taifu left Beijing, he seemed to have entered the palace and met his godfather in the eunuch."

Li Xin was stunned for a moment, then laughed silently.

"It turns out that Eunuch Xiao found out about this."

He half-squinted his eyes and looked at Xiao Huai: "If you remember correctly, when you were in your teens, you followed Eunuch Xiao and became your adopted son. For more than ten years, he treated you as your own and promoted you with all your strength. This made you become the young prisoner of the eunuch in the age of thirty and also took charge of the Plum Blossom Guard."

"Why, you are disliked by your godfather so soon?"

Xiao Huai gritted his teeth and lowered his head: "Trial tutor, I just want to know if this matter has anything to do with my godfather."

“Is this important?”

Li Xin restrained his smile, glanced at Xiao Huai expressionlessly, and said coldly: "You shouldn't be too naive if you can do this position. I will not tell you whether you have or not. Besides, whether I admit it or not, it will have little impact on the matter."

Li Xin sneered: "As long as you return to Beijing, kneel in front of the emperor, and repeat what you said in front of me, it is either shit or shit at that time. You can kick your godfather away as you wish and put on that big red dress."

Xiao Huai took a deep breath and bowed deeply to Li Xin.

"I will know what the tutor says."

"I dare not disturb the tutor's care, I will say goodbye now."

After saying that, this eunuch in purple, who was about the same age as Li Xin, respectfully left the main hall of the Li family, leaned back more than ten steps with his butt sticking out before turning around and leaving.

Li Xin looked at the guy's back and frowned slightly.

He was hesitating whether to keep this guy in Qiyang forever.

If this man returned to the capital and reported to the emperor, Xiao Zheng would be almost dead and alive.

He shook his head, a little puzzled.

"Xiao Zheng didn't handle the beginning and end of this matter completely. I really don't know how the eunuchs he has done over the years."

He decided to let go and ignore the matter. He did not betray Xiao Zheng anyway. Even if something happened to Xiao Zheng, he was not cautious enough.

After Xiao Huai and the "angels" left, it was almost evening in the afternoon. Li Xin returned to the backyard and carefully discussed the conditions and opportunities for the Southwest Army to leave Shu, as well as the weaknesses of the Hanzhong Army and the Ankang Army. In a blink of an eye, two hours passed. Li Xin simply asked his family to deliver the meal to the warm room in the backyard. The three of them drank and talked until late at night.

At around the hour of Hai, Zhao Jia was the first to be unable to hold on and went back to the room to rest. Li Shuo was relatively introverted and embarrassed to disturb Li Xin, so he also stood up and said goodbye. After Li Xin saw the two people away, he stood up and stretched his waist long and pushed open the door of the warm room.

Little bits of snow fall.

In Yongzhou, located in the south, it started to snow on the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month of this year. Li Xin picked up a lantern, put on his clothes and walked into the heavy snow.

Although there is almost no snow in Yongzhou, the snow scene is undoubtedly very beautiful.

He walked from the backyard to the front yard, and then heard the knocking of his own door.

The doorman, who was sleeping in a daze, got up and opened the door.

Out of curiosity, Li Xin also followed him to the gate.

The door was pushed open, and a young man with a little dark skin and a thin appearance stood at the door of the gate. The young man was wearing only two or three clothes, a standard long knife hung around his waist, and a wine bag.

He saw Li Xin holding a lantern at first sight, and immediately grinned, revealing his white teeth.

"Brother, I'm back!"

It was Zhao Fang who came back from Zhenbei Army after taking leave.

Li Xin was a little happy when he saw him come back, but after hearing his name, his face turned dark and he left.
