Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 873 Disappeared out of thin air

To be honest, the reason why Li Xin chose to be tough on the four auxiliary ministers before was largely because he wanted to make a ruthless attitude that he could not suffer any grievance at all, otherwise he would fight with you to the end, no matter who it was. No matter what the outcome of this matter is, no one will dare to attack the Jing'an Houfu or the right camp of the Imperial Army anymore.

   But if you just want to achieve this goal, it is enough to directly sue the several auxiliary ministers for their bad intentions. There is no need to bring the matter to the level of the emperor's pro-government in advance. The reason why Li Xin did this is naturally that he wanted to pull the little emperor.

Today's Emperor Yuan Zhao, from the age of five or six, Li Xin watched him grow up. When he was a child, he also chased after Li Xin. He was an uncle and shouted very diligently. After many years, Li Xin regarded him as a man. younger generation. At this time, he naturally wanted to help him.

   But unfortunately, this kindness did not yield goodwill, but this "junior" personally rejected Li Xin's proposal.

   It is impossible to say that you are not disappointed at all.

However, since Emperor Yuan Zhao has already ascended the throne and is sitting in that position, then he is not the same as the former Crown Prince. He needs to think from the emperor's standpoint. Therefore, Li Xin has some doubts about his performance. Disappointed, but understandable.

But for him, these court battles are all trivial details. He is too lazy to fight with those old men, otherwise he will just send Shen Gang or someone from Tianmu Jian to check the old man's background and make sure that there is not one of them. It's clean, with **** all over the ass.

   And he, Mrs. Li, has been an official for more than ten years and is as innocent as water. In the battles of the court, he is born in an invincible position.

   Right now, Li Xin has no interest in fighting those old men any more. For him, the most important thing is to save Lin Hu and make sure he doesn't have an accident.

Lin Hu is the son of Lin Orion. When Li Xin returned to his hometown ten years ago, it was Lin Orion who entrusted this son to Li Xin. Now Lin Hu is still unmarried because he was arranged by Li Xin to be in charge of Tianlei. Now, Li Xin really has no face to see Uncle Lin anymore.

  The horse-drawn carriage of the Marquis of Jing'an walked slowly on the official road in the south of the city for two days.

   On the night of the third day, after it got completely dark, the group stayed in a small town. Li Xin got up in the middle of the night and gently pushed the ninth princess who was sleeping beside him.

  The nine princesses opened their eyes sleepily, rubbed them, and saw Li Xin who was already neatly dressed,

   "What's wrong? What happened?"

   After all, she came from a royal family, so she wasn't as flustered as an ordinary woman, she just asked this question.

   Li Xin sighed slowly.

   "Huzi was caught, I have to rush to the southwest as soon as possible and try to save him."

  The two have been married for ten years. The Ninth Princess naturally knows who the "tiger son" Li Xin is talking about, and she also understands the importance of the matter, so she just frowned and nodded in agreement.

   She turned her head and looked at the dark sky outside, and sighed: "Are you leaving now?"

   Li Xin nodded.

   "Shen Gang is already waiting for me outside. I'll go to the southwest with him. Madam, take the people from the Hou residence, continue on your way, and wait for me in Yongzhou."

   Having said this, Li Xin paused.

   "There will be people staring at our family along the way. Madam should be careful, try to pretend that I am still in the carriage, and at least hide it for a day or two."

  The Nine Princesses nodded, put her hand around Li Xin's neck, and sighed softly: "You have been running around outside all these years, and I can't help you."

  Jing An Hou Ye smiled and shook his head.

   "Madam helps me take care of this house, so that I have no worries, that is the biggest help."

  The couple hugged for a while, and then Li Xin left.

   Before leaving, he also went to the next room to see the sleeping pair of children, and covered the eldest daughter who was sleeping dishonestly with a quilt.

   At this time, it was already midnight.

  Shen Gang was waiting outside with a dozen or so people, holding Li Xin's horse, and when he saw Li Xin in black walking over, he immediately lowered his head and said solemnly, "Master Hou!"

   Li Xin was expressionless.

   "Let's go."

   Shen Gang was behind a dozen people, all bowing their heads respectfully.

"Yes!"

   Li Xin got on the horse, glanced at Shen Gang after getting on the horse, and said, "How many people are going out of Beijing together?"

  Shen Gang also got on the horse at this time, and he replied: "About two hundred and seventy people have followed their subordinates out of Beijing."

   "Except for the dozen or so of us, all the others stayed behind to secretly protect Madam and the Hou family."

"Yes!"

   After saying these words, Li Xin shook the reins, and Mo Li's horse neighed with a long neigh, riding in the lead, galloping toward the southwest.

  Shen Gang and the others sighed, and they all pulled the reins, just following behind Li Xin.

This time, it was their ineffectiveness in protecting Lin Hu that led Li Xin to go to the southwest to wipe their ass. Although Li Xin had not had time to punish Shen Gang and the others, these old subordinates could see that his grandfather was angry. .

And if you count the time, it has been almost half a month since Lin Hu was arrested. It will take seven or eight days to get to Jincheng from here, even if you don’t sleep, and it’s impossible for people and horses to stay awake. It will take ten days for them to arrive at Jincheng at the fastest.

   Ten days later, that Mr. Lin Hu has already been arrested for a month. If the enemy is really malicious, then it is basically difficult to survive for a month.

  If Lin Hu really died in Jincheng, those who were responsible for protecting Lin Hu might have to endure the thunder and anger of their Marquis.

  Shen Gang was the first group, or even the first person to follow Li Xin. After more than ten years, he knew very well what kind of ruthless man he was in his heart, the Hou Ye, who seemed harmless to humans and animals on weekdays!

   On the way, Li Xin basically didn't say a word.

   The group traveled day and night, rushing for eight days, and finally arrived at Jincheng on the morning of the ninth day.

  There are also people from Jing'an Marquis Mansion in Jincheng. Mu Ying and Zhao Jia were notified early. When they arrived in Jincheng, these two people had been waiting at the city gate for a long time.

   Li Xin, who jumped down from Mo Qi's horse, was a little embarrassed.

   In the past eight days, apart from eating and sleeping, he was on his way, and he didn't even have time to wash his face. At this moment, his hair was a little messy, his face was not very clean, and he looked tired.

   Not only him, but even the Moli horse, who claims to be able to travel thousands of miles a day, is also showing signs of fatigue at this moment.

   Zhao Jia and Mu Ying surrounded them and bowed their heads to Li Xin.

   "I have seen Lord Hou."

   The two of them can be regarded as Li Xin's friends. They usually smile when they meet each other, but this time, both of them lost their smiles and looked serious.

  Li Houye was also expressionless.

   "Any clues?"

  Mu Ying looked ashamed, lowered her head and said: "Master Hui, this month, Jincheng has been searched almost everywhere, and Brother Lin has not been seen..."

"The woman who was befriended by Brother Lin is a clerk in a brothel in Jincheng. We have also searched the brothel, but we still haven't found any clues about Brother Lin. He seems to have disappeared out of thin air. "

   Zhao Jia, who was beside him, looked at Li Xin, whose face was exhausted, and let out a long sigh.

   "It's me who neglected my duty and worked so hard."

   Make up for last night~
