Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 440 Last time and next time

  Li Xin turned his head suddenly, staring at the carriage.

  This is not the capital, but an official road about ten miles away from the capital. It is also the only way from the capital to the forbidden army camp. Obviously, Li Shen is waiting for him here.

   He quickly calmed down.

   Now, he has nothing to be afraid of when facing Li Shen, on the contrary, Li Shen should be afraid of him.

  The Marquis of Jing An waved his hand to stop the guards behind him, put his hands in his thick sleeves, and slowly walked towards the carriage.

  The carriage is a very ordinary carriage, it doesn't even have a paint, and the horse pulling the carriage is also an old horse, which looks very uninspired.

   Sitting in front of the car was a young man in his twenties and thirties, with an ordinary appearance and very inconspicuous appearance.

  Li Xin walked closer, stopped, looked up at the carriage, and after a long silence, slowly said, "Do you really think that I won't kill you?"

   The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Li Shen, who had changed into a padded coat, walked out.

  I haven't seen him for several months, and he lost a lot of weight again, but he is still very energetic, with a pair of Yan Jing shining brightly.

   "You are ambitious and decisive."

   Li Shen slapped his hands and said, "In the cellar that day, you didn't let anyone come to me, so I knew you wouldn't do anything to me."

  Jing An Hou grinned.

   "What if I change my mind now?"

   "The smarter a person is, the more confident he will be and the less likely he will be shaken."

  Li Xin's face was calm and he didn't answer.

   "How did you escape?"

   Li Shen laughed and said: "It has been two or three months since the last time Yonglefang was set on fire. Is it strange that I grew up in this capital and escaped in two or three months?"

   Of course it’s weird.

Today’s capital city is loose on the outside and tight on the inside. On the surface, all the city gates have been opened, and pedestrians can pass without hindrance, but in fact, every city gate is watched by guards and even Tianmu prisoners. People who are careful will be followed by guards, and then they will be arrested to confirm their identity.

   Over a month since the city gate was opened, the guards have privately arrested dozens of people with a body similar to Li Shen.

   But this Marquis of Pingnan ran out so lightly.

   He even had the time to run up to himself to pretend.

  Li Xin looked sideways into the carriage, and then a smile appeared on his face: "Where's Mrs. Li?"

   "I sent her away yesterday."

  Compared to the expressionless Li Xin, this Pingnan Hou, who was actually "dead", was much more relaxed, and there was even a smile on his face.

   "But I still have to stay and deal with some things. After finishing the work today, I heard that you are leaving from here, so I came over to see you."

   A mocking smile appeared on the corner of Jing'an Hou's mouth.

   "Come and thank me for sparing your life."

   Li Shen nodded, still very calm.

   "I have to say, I was surprised that you could find me that day. It was the closest I have been to death in so many years."

   "What you said that day also made me very angry."

   Li Shen smiled and said, "But then I calmed down. No one in this world can count on a last resort. You won that battle, but you gave me a chance, and I haven't lost yet."

   "So I decided to go back to Southern Border."

  Li Xin sneered "hoho": "Even if I let you go again today, when you return to the southern border, few of the Northern Zhou clans you secretly wooed will be able to reach Shu County alive."

   "There was no expectation that they would live."

Marquis Pingnan smiled and said, "Those of them are left for you to kill. Although the Northern Zhou family has declined over the years, many of them are well-known in the official forest. If the little emperor kills them, they will fall behind. The infamy of a tyrant, then I will do better in Southern Border."

After a pause, he continued: "The reason why I let the people from the Zheng family in Xingyang come to Beijing is to let you and the little emperor find out about this, so that they can attack the Northern Zhou family, otherwise, why are the people from the Zheng family so obsessed? Come to the capital to die?"

   Actually, none of the twenty-seven members of the Zheng clan in Xingyang died.

   Li Xin looked at this middle-aged man who was somewhat similar to himself.

   "Among those Northern Zhou clans, there is the Li clan in Zhao County..."

"No."

  Li Shen's face was calm: "The core figures of the Li family in Zhao County have arrived in Shu County a few months ago, and you can't kill them."

   Li Xin frowned deeply.

   "If you tell me this, you are not afraid that I will tell Your Majesty to save the lives of these Northern Zhou families?"

   "This is better."

   Li Shen laughed: "Those people helped me no matter what. It's a pity that they died, but it's not bad that they survived. Anyway, whether they live or die, in the hearts of the world, they will all die."

   Li Shen's sentence means that whether or not the Emperor Taikang has killed the Northern Zhou family, they will spread rumors that the emperor is a tyrant.

   The Marquis of Pingnan looked up at Li Xin and said with a smile: "Besides, with that carefully concocted text, it is unlikely that the little emperor would be able to calm down and not kill."

   "His character is much worse than his father's."

  Li Xin slowly closed his eyes.

   He doesn't really want to let this person go back now.

In the past, the reason why he deliberately put Li Shen back in the southern border was because he had enough confidence to win against him and to be able to use the southern border to strengthen himself, but after listening to what Li Shen said, Li Xin suddenly felt that he did not It must be Li Shen's opponent.

  The Lord Jingan looked left and right, and then glanced at the dozen or so guards not far from him.

   "Master Li is so frank, so you're not afraid that I'll take you back now?"

   "You won't catch me."

   Li Shen's tone was calm: "You are very confident, even to the point of arrogance, you have to use the southern border to climb to a higher place, so you will not catch me."

   Having said this, a smile appeared on Li Shen's face.

   "Furthermore, I was hunted in the capital for several months, but I couldn't find it. You, Li Xin, found it as soon as you came out. What should that little emperor think of you?"

   Li Xin was silent.

   "Look, just because your surname is Li, no matter what you are, you are bound to do things in the capital. You need to pay attention to this and that."

   Li Shen climbed into his carriage while talking.

"I came to see you this time, just to tell you, you gave me a chance, and I'll give you one too. The conditions I said last time at Pingnan Hou's mansion remain the same. If you are willing to help me, come to Nan search for me."

   "When you get to the southern border, you don't have to be as restrained as you are in the capital, and you can even let you decide."

  Li Xin looked at the carriage with a disdainful smile on the corner of his mouth: "Li Shen, are you afraid of me?"

   "I'm a little scared."

   Li Shen's voice came from the carriage.

   "You beat me last time, so I'm not sure if I can beat you next time. In comparison, you are much more difficult to deal with than the little emperor sitting on the throne."

Li Shen was silent for a while, and then said: "Actually, what I have been unable to figure out is that I sent someone to investigate, you are just a young man who grew up in Yongzhou, and you have been ordinary before you entered Beijing, why did you suddenly become a mind? The profound Marquis of Jing'an."

   Li Xin was expressionless.

   "Because of a heavy snowfall in Chengde in the 17th year, I was frozen."

   "Go away, let me see you again within a stick of incense, and I'll leave you here."

   Li Shen in the carriage sighed deeply.

   "Zhongming, let's go."
