Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 869 Plum Blossom Guard

  In the Eighth Prisons of the Inner Court, there is an open intelligence organization called Tianmujian. On the bright side, Tianmujian is responsible for collecting information, monitoring hundreds of officials, and acting as the eyes and ears of the emperor.

   But in fact, once this kind of intelligence organization is placed on the bright side, it means that there is still a very powerful one in the dark.

   This one is even more powerful, the ninth prisoner of the eight prisons, Meihuawei.

  Plum Blossom Guard is extremely mysterious, and even Li Xin doesn't know much about it. Li Chun, the prince of the Pingnan Hou Mansion, died inexplicably, and Li Xin only knew about this organization.

Later, in the Taikang Dynasty, Li Xin became a famous person in the court, and he could often go to and from the palace, and only then did he know some things about Meihuawei. This organization directly belonged to the emperor and was managed by the inner servant, but if the emperor explained any task, They don't need to go through the inner guard, they can handle it by themselves.

  Everything that is inconvenient to do on the surface, they can do.

   Apart from that, Li Xin didn't know much about them.

  The matter of Tianlei was discovered by the Emperor Taikang at the end of the eighth year of Taikang. At that time, in order to get this thing, he once turned against Li Xin. Later, for various reasons, he had to reach a compromise with Li Xin.

But after all, it has been one and a half years since the end of the eighth year of Taikang. Even if the emperor of Taikang gave up on the bright side, he couldn't have no action in the dark. One and a half years was enough for Mei Huawei. Do a lot of things.

Therefore, when Mu Qing said that it was possible that Li Shuo had kidnapped Lin Hu, Li Xin immediately expressed his doubts. From the current point of view, the cheap younger brother has no motivation or capital to turn his back on him, so it is impossible for him to do it. out of this kind of thing.

  Thinking of this, Li Xin frowned even deeper.

He has been an official for many years, and he knows all about the various yamen in the capital, including Tianmujian, but he doesn't know much about the Meihuawei in the dark. If it was Meihuawei who tied Lin Hu, Then he really has nowhere to start.

  Thinking of this, Lord Jing'an's face was a little unsightly. He lowered his head slightly and said, "Uncle Mu, besides this, is there anything else going on in the southwest?"

   "Small things never stop."

Mu Qing sighed: "The imperial court's edict to seal the King of Shu has not been made public, so we can only take control of the southwest slowly. After Hou Ye left, the small-scale conflict in the southwest has not stopped, and Mr. You An still started. Killed a lot of court officials in the southwest, but in recent months, apart from the disappearance of Mr. Lin, there has been nothing serious..."

The southwest was forcibly separated by Li Xin, but it would take a long time to integrate the southwest. Li Xin asked Zhao Jia to go to the southwest, just to do this. Slow down.

   Zhao Jia, in Li Xin's opinion, only needs a few years of training to become a Zaifu in the Shangshutai. With him in charge of the Southwest, the Southwest will slowly move in the direction Li Xin envisioned.

  The two were sitting in the carriage, Mu Qing told Li Xin the details of the southwest side, little by little, the carriage also swayed, heading towards the capital.

   On the second day, the tall city walls of the capital were already in sight.

However, before Li Xin approached the capital, a group of more than 100 black-clothed Yulin guards surrounded Li Xin's carriage. The Marquis of Jing'an stretched out his head from the curtain of the carriage and looked out, and saw Yulin. Lin Weizhong's commander, Xie Dai, had already turned over and dismounted, and was saluting respectfully in front of his carriage.

   "Xie Dai, the lower official, I have seen the grand master."

   Lord Jingan laughed at himself: "Why, in such a big battle, are you afraid that I will run away?"

   "After thinking about it, it seems that Li has not violated any national laws?"

Xie Dai shook his head again and again: "Taifu misunderstood. Yesterday, the guards at the city gate said that Taifu rode out of the city on a fast horse, and he didn't know what to do. The matter alarmed His Majesty, and His Majesty was worried that Taifu might be alone, and there might be any risks. , let Yu Linwei go out of the city to find the master, and keep the master safe."

   These Yulin guards were obviously going out of the city to chase after Li Xinlai.

  Although the family members of the Marquis of Jing'an were still in the capital, it was unlikely that Taifu would leave his family and escape, but just in case, the imperial court sent Yu Linwei out to chase Li Xin back.

  The Marquis of Jing An squinted his eyes and said indifferently: "There is an elder in my hometown who came to see me in the capital. I will go out of the city to meet me. There is nothing to do."

   "You are all gone."

  Xie Dai bowed his head respectfully: "I'll wait, **** Taifu back to the city."

   Mrs. Li closed the curtain.

   "If you want to follow, do as you please."

   said, the carriage swayed and walked slowly towards the capital.

  More than 100 Yulin guards, all riding on horses, escorted Li Xin to the south gate of the capital, and the carriage slowly drove towards Yonglefang.

  In the carriage, Mu Qing took a peek at Li Xin.

   "The situation of Lord Hou in the capital does not seem to be very good."

   "Actually it's okay."

   Because Lin Hu disappeared, Li Xin was in a bad mood at the moment. He put his hands in his sleeves and forced a smile on his face.

   "It's just that some people look very unpleasant, and they can't help them for a while, which is quite annoying."

   Mu Qing lowered her head slightly: "If Lord Hou is not happy in the capital, you might as well go back to the southwest. Mu Ying and the old man have said many times that the position of King of Shu will always be reserved for Lord Hou's family."

   "It hasn't reached this level yet."

   Li Xin smiled at Mu Qing: "Besides, Brother Mu is willing, and Uncle Mu, you probably won't be willing either."

   Mu Qing looked solemn.

   "Master Hou has underestimated the old man. The old man sees it very clearly. Without you, Master Hou, the king of Shu who is not the king of Shu is only in the mirror, and the Mu family can't support this family business."

   When the two of them were talking, the Jingan Houfu had already arrived.

  Chen Shiliu was at the door and greeted the two respectfully. Li Xin opened his mouth and said, "Sixteen, Uncle Mu has come from afar, make arrangements for him, and don't neglect the elders."

  Chen Shiliu has come down for so many years, and he already knows the world, he respectfully bowed his head to Mu Qing and said, "Mr. Mu, come with me."

   Mu Qing nodded, then looked back at Li Xin.

   "Master Hou has to make plans as soon as possible..."

   After he finished speaking, he followed Chen Shiliu to the wing of the Hou residence.

   After they walked away, Li Xin walked alone to the study room of the Hou Mansion, where he closed his eyes and pondered.

   This is a habit he has developed over the years. Once something happens, he will be alone for a while, try to understand the context of the matter and find a suitable entry point.

   After a long time, there was a knock on the door of the study.

  Chen Shiliu whispered at the door: "Master Hou, the old man is settled."

  Li Xin opened his eyes and said solemnly, "Come in and talk."

  Chen Shiliu nodded, pushed open the door with the only remaining arm, and walked in.

   "Master Hou has something to order?"

   Li Xin was silent for a while, then slowly asked: "I want to meet Xiao Zheng in secret, is there any way?"

  Chen Shiliu is not only the chief steward of Jing'an Hou's mansion, but also the chief steward of Li Xin's secret forces. The connection between Shen Gang and the others and Li Xin must pass through this young man with only one arm left.

  Chen Shiliu frowned, then lowered his head and said, "This subordinate can give it a try, but it requires Eunuch Xiao's cooperation."

   Lord Jingan nodded.

   "Then you do it, remember not to let anyone know."

"Yes."
