Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 874 The Mind Is Too Small

   Jincheng, the palace of the king of Shu.

This palace was rebuilt by the Mu family on the basis of the original Pingnan General's Mansion after the imperial court enfeoffed the king of Shu. In fact, the palace of the king of Shu could have been placed in the old Nanshu Palace in Jincheng, but in order to fear that the imperial court would use it as a As an excuse, it was said that the palace of the king of Shu was arrogant, so he simply built another one.

  The current king of Shu is Mu Ying's son, but he changed his surname to Li, and is called Li Xiu. He is nominally a descendant of the Chenghan royal family and the son of Li Xing.

Li Xing did have two sons, but after he was invited to the capital by Emperor Taikang, he was directly killed by Li Xin with a knife. His descendants in Jincheng were also killed by Mu Ying. Leave.

   Frankly speaking, Li Xing really deserves to die, but most of his family members are innocent, but they died under Li Xing's stupidity and can't blame others.

   After entering the palace of the King of Shu, the six-year-old His Royal Highness Li Xiu of the King of Shu stepped forward and bowed to Li Xin, proclaiming himself his adopted father.

   He recognized Li Xin as his godfather. It was something that Mu Ying and Li Xin had agreed to early on, but it was only good fortune. Now that Li Xin's godfather is still a marquis, this little guy has already "splintered the earth and crowned the king".

  Different from the black-faced Mu Ying, this "young" King of Shu has a fair complexion and a handsome face.

  His mother is Li Xing's younger sister, the little county owner of the Li family. After all, his surname Li is also his mother's surname, not that the Mu family changed his surname out of thin air.

This little county owner was taken back to the southwest by Mu Ying from the capital, and the two gradually hooked up, and because Li Xing designed to kill Li Fu, she no longer had contact with her eldest brother Li Xing. , did not even know that his two nephews had been killed by her husband Mu Ying.

   Although Li Xin was exhausted from the journey, when he saw the junior, he squatted down and reached out to touch the little guy's head, and said with a smile, "It's so big in a blink of an eye."

   Mu Ying, who was behind Li Xin, frowned slightly: "Go find your mother, the adults have something to talk about."

Li Xin groped for a while in his sleeves, and finally found a rather delicate telescope and hung it on the neck of the little prince. This telescope was only about three or four inches long, and the Lord of Jingan smiled and said, "This is The craftsmen in the Beijing workshop made the latest batch of telescopic mirrors, which were originally for my own use, but are useless now, so let's play with them."

  Children like novelty things. After he took it, he put it on his eyes and immediately smiled.

   "Thank you godfather."

   Muying waved to him.

   "Okay, let's go down and play."

   His Royal Highness the King of Shu jumped and walked away.

   Mu Ying and Zhao Jia both followed behind Li Xin. The three of them crossed the front hall of the Shu Palace, walked into the back garden, and sat down under a pavilion.

After sitting down, Mu Ying took a deep breath, bowed her head and clasped her fists at Li Xin: "Master Hou, I was negligent about this matter. Speaking of which, I still invite Brother Lin over to the house for dinner, please come and sing a song. Son, they just met, they didn't expect things to turn out like this."

Lin Hu's task in Jincheng is actually very boring. He simply masters the secret recipe of Tianlei. Only when Zhao Jia asks him to make Tianlei will he have work to do. He is very leisurely on weekdays. Mu Ying is also worried about this important person. The character's life in Jincheng is boring, so he often invites him to drink.

  Because Mu Ying and Li Xin were friends, Lin Hu didn't refuse much, and often came to Shu Wang's mansion to drink.

   After sitting down, Li Xin rubbed his aching eyes and said, "It's the hand of the Jingcheng Meihuawei, and it's been planned for more than a year."

   "It must have taken them a lot of time to find Huzi, otherwise they would have started a long time ago after the Emperor's funeral."

   He had traveled for eight or nine days and only slept for two or three hours a day. At this moment, he felt very sleepy.

   "Go get pen and paper."

  Mu Ying nodded immediately, quickly ran to get a pen and paper, and spread it in front of Li Xin.

  Li Xin picked up the pen, frowned for a while, and then drew three symbols on the paper.

   These three symbols, each symbol is only a few strokes, but it looks like three plum blossoms with different shapes, which represent different meanings.

   These symbols were drawn to him by Xiao Zhenghua.

Of course, his meeting with Xiao Zheng was a taboo in the first place, and it was impossible to see this kind of thing in pen and paper. Li Xin relied on his memory to memorize it. He burned it when it was finished.

"Plum Blossom Guard came into existence during the reign of the Great Jin Taizu. In the early years when the Great Jin Dynasty was founded, Mei Hua Guard successfully assassinated many generals. This organization has a one-line connection, and finding one or two people is meaningless. At most, it will only hurt their branches and leaves. "

   "These are the three secrets that Mei Huawei used to communicate with each other. Brother Mu has arranged for some elites in the past few days to secretly investigate these marks in the capital, and we should be able to find some clues."

   "After finding the clues, don't panic, try to find more plum blossom guards, or know where Huzi is locked up..."

   Having said this, Li Xin closed his eyes.

   "Did you die..."

   "Consider attacking them again."

   "It's impossible for Meihuawei to be in Jincheng recently. When Pingnan Hou's mansion was in charge of the southwest, there must be Meihuawei in Jincheng, so be careful."

  Mu Ying carefully read the symbols written by Li Xin on the paper several times, and nodded deeply.

   "Subordinate, let's do it now."

Li Xin rubbed his temples and frowned, "Remember, let someone more reliable check it out. Back then, all the generals in the Pingnanhou Mansion could be mixed into Meihuawei, and maybe there will also be some in your Shu Prince's Mansion. Plum Blossom Guard."

   Mu Ying froze in her heart and bowed her head respectfully.

   "My subordinates understand."

   said, Mu Ying bowed and stepped back, and went to work.

   Zhao Jia hesitated for a while and sat on the stool opposite Li Xin. He glanced at Li Xin with a tired face and sighed slightly.

   "Master Hou, how has the capital been recently?"

  Li Xin opened his eyes, first sighed, then helplessly smiled.

   "Li Shen once told me that he said that the Ji family are all virtuous. I used to think that this sentence was a bit biased, but now it seems that it does make some sense."

   "The emperor of Chengde never used me, and he never believed in me. The emperor of Taikang used me, but he didn't fully trust me. He came to this new emperor."

The Marquis of Jingan laughed: "I grew up watching him, he followed me since he was a child, and he called either his uncle or his teacher. I thought he would believe me a little bit, but I risked offending all the civil servants and even offending him. The risk of the Grand Governor's Mansion has been busy in the end, and as a result, even this little baby of the Ji family doesn't believe me."

   "It's chilling."

   Li Xin's words are a bit general, Zhao Jia didn't fully understand, but he heard some meanings, he whispered: "Whoever sits in that position will think differently."

   "Master Hou has been in the court for more than ten years, so he should have understood this truth long ago."

   "I think differently from Brother You'an."

   Li Xin got up and yawned.

   "I still think they are three generations of their family, and they are too small to tolerate people."

   Zhao Jia smiled.

   "It's not unreasonable for Lord Hou to think so."

  Li Xin inserted his hands into his sleeves and walked away from the pavilion.

   "I can't be sleepy, go to sleep first, and when I wake up, I'll talk to Brother Youan in detail."

   After saying that, he walked away slowly.

   Zhao Jia was stunned for a while, then sighed, and gave Li Xin's back a deep bow.
