Chapter 128: An excuse to do it

Zhong Ming is from Southern Shu. He was sent to Li Shen about five or six years ago to be responsible for communication between the two sides. For the past five or six years, he has been following Li Shen as a follower, almost inseparable.

But after all, he was still a native of Southern Shu.

Zhong Ming lowered his head slightly and whispered: "Your Highness, among the few people sent by the Emperor of the Ji family, there is a very critical young man, and this person cannot be killed."

Li Xing narrowed his eyes and sneered: "Why, is it Ji Man's son here?"

Ji Man is the name of Emperor Chengde. In the entire Jin Dynasty, no one dared to call the name of Emperor Chengde directly. Even Li Shen, who is a pillar country, did not call the name of Emperor Chengde privately. Only "rebels" like Li Xing dared to call the name of Emperor Chengde unscrupulously.

Zhong Ming lowered his head slightly and his voice was calm: "Your Highness, the son of the Emperor of Ji's family did not come, but if nothing unexpected happens, the person who came will become his son-in-law."

He looked up at Li Xing: "If he was killed, it would be very likely that the Emperor of Ji and our two families would turn against each other."

Li Xin went to the Pingnan Marquis' Mansion to recognize his relatives, but that time, the news was deliberately blocked by Mrs. Yu, so that there were not many people in the entire capital who knew that Li Xin was Li Shen's son, and only the Emperor Chengde and Jingzhao Yin Li Ye and others knew about it. Later, Li Shen returned to Beijing to deny this relationship, and no one would talk about it.

At least, Zhong Ming didn't know about this, and he had no idea what Li Xin had to do with Li Shen.

Li Xing frowned deeply.

"This person married the princess of the Ji family?"

Zhong Ming shook his head slightly: "Not yet, but when I and the Marquis left the city, the Emperor of the Ji family pointed at the young man and said that he would marry his daughter to him in the future."

Li Xing sneered slightly: "That's just a small way for Ji Man to win people's hearts. If he doesn't say that, how could this young man be willing to come to southern Xinjiang to die? If you go back now and let Li Shen kill him, I will endure it for eighteen years. I will shake the national system for such a young man!"

Zhong Ming took a deep breath, and he half knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, the Marquis asks me to tell you something."

Li Xing glanced at Zhong Ming,

"explain."

"The Great Jin has been unifying the world for more than 30 years."

Zhong Ming's tone was heavy: "More than 30 years ago, when Jin was first reigned, more than ten consecutive years of war almost exhausted the power of Jin and he was unable to move anymore. Even the Wu Emperor of the Ji family had no energy to take care of the southern border, and could only sit back and watch Li Zhijie, the old marquis of the Li family, split the southern border for himself."

"Eighteen years ago, Emperor Chengde of the Ji family ascended the throne, but the Ji family still did not fill the gap. Emperor Chengde had to rest and recuperate for more than ten years and did not dare to use his national strength."

Speaking of this, Zhong Ming looked up at Li Xing.

"But now, more than thirty years have passed. Even if you have any serious injuries, you should be cured for more than thirty years..."

Zhong Ming's tone was calm.

"The Ji family's injuries have been cured. Now maybe they are just waiting for an excuse to take action..."

Li Xing was silent.

The reason why southern Xinjiang and the court were able to be at peace over the years was, on the one hand, because southern Xinjiang had some of its own capital, but more importantly, when the Great Jin unified the world, it was damaged and the whole country was in ruins. Emperor Wu's conquest for more than ten years almost overdrawn the foundation of the Great Jin Dynasty, putting the entire country's economy on the verge of collapse.

In this case, this situation will occur where both sides tolerate each other for decades.

After Emperor Chengde ascended the throne, he still maintained a great degree of patience with southern Xinjiang.

However, in recent years, the emperor's "temper" has become worse and worse, and he seems to be unable to bear the thorn in Nanjiang's eyes.

Li Shen felt this change keenly, so he asked Zhong Ming to pass this passage to Li Xing.

The Grand Highness of the Southern Shu survivor lowered his head and thought for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "What does Li Shen mean?"

Zhong Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that when Li Xing asked this, it meant that the Lord Highness was ready to compromise with the Marquis of Pingnan.

"The Marquis means that in a short period of time, no matter which Li family, there is no capital to deal with the court, and can only coax the court first. If you can, don't offend me, don't offend me."

Li Xing narrowed his eyes.

"But if what Li Shen said was true, it wouldn't be coaxed for long, and Ji Man would be called sooner or later, and it would be meaningless to drag it on like this."

Zhong Ming lowered his head and said, "The Marquis' family is still in the capital. At least now, he has no intention of rebelling at all, so he can only drag it down for the time being. The Marquis said that if the Lord Highness is unwilling to cooperate, he will lead the Pingnan Army and forcefully attack Hanzhou City. By then, both sides will be killed or injured, and it will be real."

Li Xing frowned.

He knew very well that the Marquis of Pingnan always had the same idea. Li Shen was definitely likely to bring Pingnan Army and shoot with real swords and guns!

"How to perform?"

Zhong Ming took out a letter from his arms and said in a deep voice: "The Marquis has written the specific content in the letter. Please read the Lord."

Li Xing groaned and waved impatiently.

"Okay, I understand. After reading the letter, I will reply to Li Shen."

Zhong Ming bent over and said, "The villain took his leave."

Just as Zhong Ming walked to the door, Li Xing looked up and looked at him lightly, and said lightly: "Zhong Ming, don't forget that you are a Shu native!"

Zhong Ming stopped, turned around and looked at Li Xing deeply, hesitated for a while, finally bent down, and whispered: "Your Highness, what the villain said just now is the intention of the marquis. For the sake of being a Shu people, the villain has some other news to tell the Your Highness."

Li Xing was dismantling Li Shen's letter, but he stopped and looked up at Zhong Ming with a smile.

Zhong Ming lowered his head and said to himself: "Your Highness, the young man who the villain just mentioned is not only the son-in-law of the Emperor of Ji's family, but his surname is Li, and his name is Li Xin."

Li Xing's expression changed slightly.

Some time ago, someone came to deliver a letter from the capital, saying that Li Fu, the young master of Nanshu, died at the hands of a young man named Li Xin in the capital. Not long after that, his sister disappeared.

Li Xing's face was slightly darker: "Is that Li Xin?"

Zhong Ming nodded and said, "It's the Li Xin who harmed Your Highness. The Little Princess fled to his house and was mostly avenging his highness. Therefore, the answer to the disappearance of the Little Princess may be found in this young man."

Li Xing gritted his teeth: "Listen to what you said just now, you were not going to say this news at first!"

Zhong Ming lowered his head: "The Marquis didn't let me say it."

"You are from Shu!"

Li Xing was furious: "You are not the dog raised by Li Shen!"

Zhong Ming still lowered his head: "Your Highness sent me to the Marquis to communicate information, not to send me to the room. For more than five years, I have been doing my best and I have not been sorry for Youth Highness."

Zhong Ming was a serious Shu native. After following Li Shen for five or six years, he had already felt a little swaying towards the Marquis of Pingnan. It shows that the Marquis of Pingnan Li Shen has a great personality charm.

Li Xing laughed in anger.

"Where is that Li Xin now?"

Zhong Ming lowered his head and took a deep breath.
