Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 486 Retribution is coming

In fact, there is not much room for Li Xing to choose. He and Li Shen both understand that the remnants of Nanshu are tied to the peace of the Southern Army, and they are unlikely to be the opponents of the Dajin court in terms of hard power. Therefore, from the beginning, Li Xing didn't think about choosing, he just wanted to delay until the situation in the southwest was relatively clear, and then make a bet.

   But it is a pity that the 100,000 households of the survivors of Nanshu are still too conspicuous. Whether it is Li Shen or the Dajin court, they are all interested in him, and they are forcing him to stand in line.

From the perspective of family and country feelings, it is impossible for these Nanshu survivors to cooperate with the Dajin court anyway. After all, everyone has the hatred of subjugating the country, but from the perspective of practical interests, Li Xing has no way to bite the bullet and stand with the Pingnan Army. .

   It is for this reason that Li Shen's attitude towards the survivors of Nanshu is similar to a request, while Li Xin is extremely tough when facing Li Xing.

The Grand Highness of Nanshu was silent for a while, and finally looked up at Mu Ying, and said slowly: "Brother Mu, you are also from Nanshu. When Jincheng broke down, many people died in the Mu family. Now you Why are you being so aggressive when you help the Great Jin court?"

The dark-faced Mu Ying glanced at Li Shen, who was sitting firmly on the side, and finally sneered: "Your Highness, you can make yourself forget that story, but the Mu family did not forget, the one who broke Jincheng was the At that time, the Marquis of Pingnan was still the Jincheng where my grandfather desperately protected His Royal Highness Prince Min from fleeing, but now the Marquis of Pingnan is sitting in front of us, why would His Highness want to call a deer a horse instead?"

"Yes, my Mu family is now doing things for the court, but everyone is just trying to survive. If your highness can bring us Nanshu survivors back to the country, Mu Ying will immediately resign as Yulinwei to help your highness. Fuguo, does Your Highness dare to say this?"

   Li Xing was speechless.

   With his current ability, it is impossible to maintain the status quo, let alone help Nanshu restore the country.

Mu Ying continued: "In the current situation, if Your Highness cannot return to the country, the future of our 100,000 Shu people is uncertain. Since His Highness can't lead us to find a way to survive, we can't take us to Mu's family. death, right?"

   Li Xing's face was ugly, because what Mu Ying said was really no longer true.

No matter how he argues, he can't deny that it was Li Zhijie's Pingnan Army who broke Jincheng at the beginning, and now he really has no way to find a way out for these 100,000 Nanshu survivors. Every word of Mu Ying makes him dumb. Speechless.

This is true.

   After a long time, he said bitterly: "Brother Mu, Li Xing always remembers the kindness of the Mu family to the father, you go home first, and I will give Brother Mu an answer tomorrow."

   Mu Ying nodded and said to Li Xing, "Your Highness, Mu Ying has always been a native of Shu, and I have been offended today."

   Having said that, Mu Ying glanced at Li Shen, and then a sneer appeared on her face.

   "General Zhuguo, my Marquis has a good temper, but Mu Ying has a bad temper. The evil things you did back then will be retributed in the southern border one by one."

   "You and wait quietly."

  Li Shen sat on the chair, motionless.

   "Little brother, you are too young."

   "The old things of the past, whether it is right or wrong, this lord is too lazy to tell you what to say. If you want to do anything in the southern border, just come here, and this lord is waiting for you."

   Mu Ying sneered again and again.

   "General, I hope that in the future, you will still have the wisdom pearl in your hand."

   After saying that, Mu Ying turned around with her hands behind her back, leaving Li Shen and Li Xing behind, still sitting in this room.

  After Mu Ying walked away, Pingnan Hou quietly took a sip of the hot tea in his hand and looked at Li Xing with a smile.

   "Your Highness, you can see that Li Xin is a small person, and he does things recklessly. This can be seen from Mu Ying. If Your Highness works with Li Xin, it is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger."

  Li Xing shook his head and smiled wryly.

   "The general does not understand my current suffering."

"Now that the entire Mu family has completely fallen to the Dajin court, and the Mu family is not much weaker than Li Xing among the 100,000 households of Shu, they have already stood in line. "

   Li Shen laughed, stood up from the chair, and bowed his hands to Li Xing.

"His Royal Highness, Nan Shu and the Great Jin court are enemies of life and death. This has never changed in the past 30 years. Even if you are willing to surrender to the Great Jin court and endure the hatred of the year, the Great Jin court may not tolerate you. When they cross the river and demolish the bridge, I am afraid that only you, Your Highness, can survive."

   "The right or wrong of it is up to the Highness to decide for himself."

   Having said that, Li Shen also walked away.

   Outside the yard, a pure black carriage has been waiting outside for a long time, and a young man in Tsing Yi has been waiting near the carriage for a long time.

   After seeing Li Shen approaching, the young man bowed his head respectfully: "Father."

   This young man is Li Shuo, Li Shen’s son who was fostered under Li Yan’s name. During this time, Li Shen often took him by his side and wanted to train him to be the future successor of the Pingnan Army.

   But some time ago, Li Shen also severely punished him because of his private meeting with Li Xin.

   At this time, Li Shuo had resumed the title of Li Shen's father.

   Li Shen stepped onto the carriage with no expression on his face, and Li Shuo walked up behind him.

   "Father, how's it going?"

"very bad."

   Li Shen told the truth and said indifferently: "These remnants of the old Nanshu were placed in advance by Li Xin. It is difficult to move them now, and they can basically be given up."

   The people who were installed by Li Shen were referring to the people in the Mu family. These people started to operate two years ago, and now they have finally played a key role in the influence of the situation in the southern border.

  Thinking of this, Li Shen took a deep breath, looked back at Li Xing's mansion silently, and muttered to himself.

   "I hope you can help no one, so I can save a lot of effort."

   It is useless to win over Li Xing now, because these people from Shu are unlikely to help each other to pacify the southern army, so Li Shen can only hope that Li Xing will not help each other, so that the pacification of the southern army can be more comfortable.

   After saying this, Li Shen looked back at his sixteen-year-old son.

   "You went to see Li Xin."

  Li Shuo gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, when the Marquis of Jing'an was in Yongzhou, his son visited him."

   Li Shen glanced at Li Shuo and continued to ask.

   "What do you think of him?"

  Li Shuo closed his eyes, recalled the scene where he met Li Xin, and finally opened his eyes slowly.

   "Smart, wise and confident."

   Having said that, Li Shuo paused, and then continued.

   "And, he's not a bad guy."
