Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 489 I Can't Trust Mu Family

  To be honest, Li Xin himself was reluctant to turn against the emperor. First, he did have a bit of affection, and Li Xin also wanted to live in peace. Second, he was too tired to fight against the emperor.

   Just like the Marquis of Pingnan, after more than 30 years of hard work, it can only be a struggle.

   But unwillingness to fight against the emperor does not mean waiting for death. This is like a weapon of mass destruction in later generations. You can not use it, but you can't do it without.

  After the three of them drank, Mu Qing hurried back directly. After all, it would take time to fully accept these 50,000 people with the Mu family's heritage.

   As for Mu Ying, he stayed temporarily because Li Xin had other things to tell him.

   After Mu Qing was far away, Li Xin took Mu Ying to the backyard.

At this time, the Marquis of Jing'an was blushing because he drank a lot of wine, but his eyes were sober. I asked you to bring someone from Yulinwei's commander's battalion, do you remember?"

  There are 400 people in a commander's battalion. The 400 people that Mu Ying brought over were all Li Xin's direct descendants in Yulinweili, and they could be regarded as Li Xin's own team.

   The so-called own team is that Li Xin told them that there would be another palace change, and they would not hesitate to follow Li Xin to attack Miyagi.

Mu Ying nodded and said: "Remember, these are the people from our Yulin Weiying camp at the beginning, and Lord Hou specially ordered me to choose some unmarried people to bring here, saying that the battlefield is dangerous, and there is no burden without family members. ."

   "So out of the 400 people, about 200 people have no family at all."

The predecessors of Yulin Guard were "Yulin Orphans". These people may have been orphans of soldiers whose parents died. Although not all Yu Lin Guards are Yu Lin orphans, it is not necessary to find some who have no family. Disaster.

Having said this, Mu Ying scratched her head and said with a smile: "I didn't understand it at the time, according to the truth, if the battlefield is dangerous, we should bring some people who are married and have children, so as not to break the incense at home, but Lord Hou has Let's bring these furry kids out..."

   Mu Ying stopped abruptly in the middle of her speech.

   He stared blankly at Li Xin.

   Li Xin said indifferently: "Yes, I want these people to join the rebel army, and you will take them with you, Brother Mu."

   "They don't have family ties, so they can work with confidence. In the future, these people will become Brother Mu and your team in this rebel army. If you use it well, you can take full control of this rebel army."

   "When I return to Beijing, I will report to the court that these people are all dead."

   Mu Ying was stunned for a moment, then pointed to herself with a wry smile.

   "Master Hou, I managed to get acquainted in the capital with great difficulty, and I became a general of Yulin's guard. You won't let me "die", right?"

Li Xin glanced at Mu Ying, and then whispered: "Brother Mu has an official position, it is a pity to die in battle, I will report to the court and say that you are seriously injured, and you are recuperating in your hometown in Bashu, when will the situation in the southwest be When you are stable, you can recover again, and you can return to Beijing to become an official at that time.”

Mu Ying glanced at Li Xin cautiously, and then whispered: "Master Hou, I can understand that you sent Yu Linwei to the Rebel Army. After all, this thing is very important, but I don't have to go there. There are still hundreds of people in the main line of our Mu family. , Counting the thousands of branches, with my old father here, they would be able to lead this rebel army anyway."

   "But they are not your Muying."

  Jing'an Hou's tone was a little cold.

   "I trust you and Uncle Mu, but I can't trust you thousands of Mu family members."

"Everyone has selfish intentions. With tens of thousands of troops in front of them, anyone will be jealous and want to take it for themselves. If you and I are in the capital in the future, these tens of thousands of people will lose control, and then it will be a big one. trouble."

   Li Xin glanced at Mu Ying lightly.

   "As far as I know, Uncle Mu is more than a son of Brother Mu and you."

  In this era, as long as there are conditions, it is possible to give birth to as many as possible. Take Mu Qing as an example, the head of the Mu family is still moderate, but he also has five sons and four daughters, and Mu Ying is the eldest son.

   The young lady of the Mu family, Mu Xin, is the youngest daughter.

   In addition to these two, the Mu family has four sons, the youngest is only twelve years old this year.

Li Xin knew about these things in advance. He could trust Mu Ying, but he couldn't trust these Mu family members who had never met. If the rebel army got out of control in the future, not only would it not help Li Xin, but it would even bring him help. come to trouble.

   This is a double-edged sword, and you must hold the hilt firmly in order not to get hurt.

   Mu Ying was thoughtful.

   Li Xin continued: "I can allow the Mu family to completely decide on Uncle Mu, but after Uncle Mu, it must be you, Mu Ying, and I don't recognize other Mu family members."

   "When the Mu family takes over this rebel army, the Mu family will inevitably enter the middle and high levels of this rebel army. I don't want to pay attention to these people, but the backbone of the Mu family must be settled."

   "I didn't say these words directly in front of Uncle Mu, but Brother Mu, you must understand that you brought these two hundred people into this rebel army to lay the foundation for the future."

   Li Xin said word by word.

   "This is the lifeblood of you and me, as well as the Jing'an Houfu and Mu's family. I can't lose a bit. I believe in Brother Mu, and I hope Brother Mu can also believe in me."

  Mu Ying immediately became serious.

   He bowed deeply to Li Xin.

   "Don't worry, Lord Hou, Mu Ying has written it down."

   "These few days, I will take the two hundred Yulin Wei people back to Hanzhou Prefecture."

   Li Xin took a deep breath and patted Mu Ying on the shoulder.

"Brother Mu, don't think I'm over-hearted, and don't think that I'm too troublesome. This kind of thing involves too much, I have to be careful, what I said today, if the time is right, you can tell Uncle Mu straight, he can understand , and will not be angry,"

   Mu Ying nodded and said, "I understand the humble position."

   At this time, Mu Ying's drinking taste had completely disappeared.

   He slowly exited Li Xin's yard.

  After Mu Ying left, Li Xin sat alone under the pavilion, dazed.

   The current situation in the southwest is unclear. He doesn't know what Ye Ming and Li Shen will fight next, but no matter how the two will fight and how they fight, he still has to do what he should do.

   His current behavior is actually a bit similar to the Li Zhi Festival back then, but Li Xin does not want to be the next Li Zhi Festival or the next Li Shen.

   What he is doing now is to buy insurance for himself, or for Jing'an Houfu and related forces, which means that when there is no way in the future, he will have the opportunity to choose to become Li Zhijie.

   After all, this is not the history he is familiar with, and Li Xin can only take one step at a time.

This time was night. After Mu Ying left, the moon had slowly climbed up. Li Xin sat in his yard and watched the moon for a while. When he was about to go back to the house to sleep, a black-clothed Yulin Wei suddenly trotted all the way. , ran into his yard.

   This man bowed and clasped his fists in front of Li Xin.

   "Master Hou, the general sent someone over here, saying that there is an urgent matter, please come over there."

  Senior Brother Ye...what are you looking for at me at this time?

  Li Xin looked up at the sky, feeling a little strange in his heart.

   Now, it's almost midnight.

   But you have to go.

   Li Xin sighed and stood up slowly.

   "If you go to reply, just say I'll go there right away."
