Chapter 552: admit defeat

Chapter 552 Admit defeat

Li Shen, a man, never showed any kind of filial piety to his son. He was extremely strict with his son, whether it was Li Chun or Li Shuo.

It's not that he doesn't have feelings for his son, but because in his heart, his son's weight is much worse than his cause of pacifying the Southern Army.

The reason why Li Xin and his son were abandoned in Qiyang County was also for this reason.

The flower-like woman in Yongzhou is beautiful, but compared to the great family business of Jincheng, it seems too insignificant.

Therefore, even though he has spent most of his time in the southwest for the past ten years, Li Shen has rarely seen Li Shuo's mother and son in Jincheng. When they meet occasionally, they are all indifferent, and there is no trace of the father and son's warmth.

In fact, he also treated Li Xin the same way. The reason why his attitude towards Li Xin changed greatly was because he calmed down the Nanhou Mansion and had a place to ask for Li Xin.

So Li Shuo was very afraid of his "eldest father".

The momentum developed over the years is very scary, so when Li Shuo answered Li Shen's question, his whole body trembled a little.

Li Shen glanced at Li Shuo lightly.

"You tell the truth."

Li Shuo's face turned pale, and he lowered his head and dared not speak.

Li Shen frowned slightly, and was about to say something when a fat figure walked out of the palace, and before anyone approached, he heard a burst of laughter.

"Uncle came over, why didn't you let me know in advance and come out alone to greet my uncle."

Seeing the abolished prince coming over, Li Shen was not so indifferent. He tidied up his clothes and bowed his head to Ji Kui and said, "My minister Li Shen, I have seen His Royal Highness the prince."

This is the reason why Li Shen is reluctant to come to see the abolished prince, no matter what the actual status of the two people is, as long as he sees Ji Ku, he must be polite, otherwise he will not be able to justify his face.

Ji Kui said with a smile: "Why did my uncle come to Gu here all of a sudden?"

"I heard that a younger generation from the family came to the palace. I was afraid that it would disturb His Highness, so I came to have a look."

Having said that, Li Shen glanced at Li Shuo.

"You didn't disturb Your Highness, did you?"

"No no."

The fat prince was all smiles.

"To tell my uncle, I live here alone, and I am quite lonely. Today, the younger brother of the Li family passed by here, and I invited him to come in for a chat, which is quite speculative."

Li Shen then looked back at Li Shuo, then lowered his head slightly.

"Children don't know what to do, so it's good not to disturb His Highness."

Having said this, General Zhu Guo said: "Since Your Highness feels lonely, I will choose a few people for His Highness to send into the palace tomorrow and talk to His Highness."

The fat prince rubbed his hands, feeling a little embarrassed.

"There is something else to tell my uncle."

"Your Highness, please speak."

"That's it."

Ji Kui scratched his head and said, "There are two women in the palace who seem to have children. Please uncle invite a doctor to come in, check their pulse and prescribe some anti-abortion pills."

Li Shen's brows stretched, and he lowered his head and said, "It should be, the minister will go to the palace tomorrow to find a doctor."

"It's getting late now, so I'm leaving."

said, Li Shen glanced at Li Shuo, who immediately said goodbye to Ji Ku, and followed Li Shen obediently.

Big fat Ji Kui watched the father and son drifting away from a distance.

Then the fat prince pouted.

"Li Shen's son, there is no one like him."

After the fat prince finished speaking, he turned around with difficulty and went back to his "Gentle Township".

When he was in the capital, although he heard that Li Xin might be Li Shen's son, he had never met him. If he had seen him, he would have found that the Marquis of Jing'an was actually very similar to Li Shen.

…

"Recently, your father and I are very busy, and we don't have time to take care of you."

Li Shen walked in front with his hands behind his back and slowly closed his eyes.

"I don't want you to help us, as long as you live in peace and don't make trouble."

Having said that, Li Shen quickened his pace and walked away.

He has too many things to do.

Whether it is Hanzhou, Mianzhu, or Jiange, every day, I don't know how many documents that need to be decided are sent to Jincheng, and Li Shen has to deal with too many things every day.

Moreover, within the top ranks of the Pingnan Army, there has been an endless debate about whether to attack Mianzhu.

He doesn't have much energy to take care of Li Shuo.

This time, if it wasn't for Li Shuo's meeting with the most important person in Jincheng, he wouldn't have come out of General Pingnan's mansion and come here on purpose.

Li Shuo took a few steps forward, followed behind Li Shen, and lowered his head.

"Father, my father he..."

Li Shen stopped and looked back at Li Shuo.

"Don't worry, there is no danger in the Jiange for the time being."

"Even if the sword pavilion is broken, your father should be able to escape."

After saying this, Li Shen slowly closed his eyes.

"I still have things to do, you go back first."

"Don't run around, I may send you out of Jincheng after a while."

Li Shuo was in a mess, he lowered his head and said, "Father... Where are you sending me?"

"Inside the mountain."

"Jincheng is not very safe. You are the last bone and blood of our Li family. You must live. I have already contacted a tribe and will send you there next month."

No matter what, Li Shuo is indeed the last incense stick in the Li family.

Li Xin can only be regarded as blood, not incense.

Because it is absolutely impossible for the Jingan Houfu to give him Li Shen and Li Zhijie to set up a rank to burn incense, if Li Shuo also died, the line of the Pingnan Houfu would really be dead.

Besides, Li Shen is also a human being, and he also has the feeling of licking a calf.

He also wanted his son to live.

Li Shuo lowered his head, his shoulders shook slightly, and choked out: "Father, since the situation has gotten so bad, why didn't you and father surrender, then leave Jincheng with me and go to the mountains..."

"I can't go."

Li Shen's tone was calm, and he couldn't hear any emotional fluctuations.

"This is the family property my father left to me. There are tens of thousands of Pingnan Army in this city, and hundreds of thousands of Pingnan Army's relatives. I can leave as soon as possible, but they will all have to die."

"If we cannot live together, we shall die together."

Li Shen looked calm, lowered his head and said, "You have to give it a shot, otherwise I don't have to persist until now. As early as sixteen years ago, I could stay in the capital and surrender to the imperial court."

Sixteen years ago, not long after the emperor of Chengde ascended the throne, the Marquis of Pingnan, Li Zhijie, died of illness, and Li Shen went to the southern border to take over as Marquis of Pingnan. His relationship with the emperor of Chengde, Pingnan Houfu can have a good end.

It's just that the end of the Pingnan Army will not be very good.

If he could surrender, Li Shen would have surrendered long ago.

Li Shuo stopped talking, he knew that he could not persuade this middle-aged man who was not tall.

Li Shen went further and further.

"After you enter the mountain, live well. If you can't survive, change your name and surname and go to the capital to find Li Xin."

"Since you've seen him, he knows you too."

Having said that, Li Shen stopped.

"Li Xin is a good man in his bones. Go to him and he will let you live well."

"But there is no need, and there is no need to go to him."

The voice of the Great General of Zhuguo is getting farther and farther.

"One day in the future, if you go to him, it means that I have conceded defeat to him."
