More than 30 years have passed. Although the current General Pingnan Mansion is generally not much different from the Mu Mansion back then, many places inside are very different from the Mu Mansion in the past. When Mu Qing walked in this house, he felt vaguely familiar, but more of them were unfamiliar, which made the old man feel moved.

But Mr. Mu did not have so much thought of being sad about spring and autumn. He looked around in the General Pingnan Mansion, and sighed from time to time, saying that he had been born too late.

Indeed, when he was born, Nanshu no longer existed. Although the Mu family still had some strength, their living conditions were simply incomparable to those of the past. The Mu Mansion in Hanzhou Prefecture is like a thatched hut compared to the Pingnan General's Mansion in Jincheng.

The three of them visited the General's Mansion in Pingnan and finally walked to the living room of the General's Mansion and sat in the same place as the host and the guest.

Of course, Li Xin sat in the main seat.

After the Marquis of Jing'an sat down, he smiled at Mu Qing who was sitting on his left and said, "Uncle Mu, according to my opinion, you will live in Jincheng in the future. This house is a bit sensitive and not easy to live in for you, but I can make the decision and divide the house into a part for you to live in."

"As for Brother Mu, he will live in Hanzhou City and lead troops in the future. As long as Uncle Mu and Brother Mu do well, Shu County will be the most popular in the Mu family in the future."

Mu Qing was silent for a while and lowered his head slightly: "Does the Marquis want to be... the second Marquis' Mansion in Pingnan?"

Li Xin shook his head.

"The two generations of marquis of Pingnan Hou Mansion live in the southwest. I am different. I want to live in the capital. For me, the southwest can be capital or support, but it cannot be considered a lifeline."

Li Xin lowered his eyebrows and said, "But there are 100,000 residents of Southern Shu in the southwest. Shu County is the lifeblood for you."

"I just need the Mu family, and help me when I need help."

To be honest, although this Hanzhou rebel army was created by Li Xin, he indirectly controlled this army and was far inferior to the Mu family in the Hanzhou rebel army.

People's hearts will always change. Li Xin did not expect the Mu family to be unconditionally loyal to him. He had certain expectations for the Hanzhou rebel army, but he did not rely on it particularly.

That's why Li Xin said what he said just now, on the one hand, it was ugly in front of it, and on the other hand, it was also to test these two people.

Mu Qing and Mu Ying looked at each other, stood up, and bowed deeply to Li Xin.

"If the Marquis trusts the Mu family so much, if the Mu family is defeated, they will not be worthy of being a human being."

The black-faced Mu Ying lowered her eyebrows and said, "Don't worry, Marquis, I dare not say anything else. Mu Ying is alive for one day, and the Mu family only follows the leader of the Marquis!"

Li Xin shook his head and said slowly: "These are all later words. I don't rush to say it now. The situation in the southwest has almost been settled. If there is no accident, I will set off for a while and go back to the capital. Before returning to Beijing, I have something to explain to Uncle Mu and Brother Mu."

The father and son clasped their fists together.

"The Marquis gave the order."

Li Xin lowered his eyebrows and said, "The Mu family in Southwest can speak the loudest voice, and can even have the final say to a certain extent, but there is one thing that you must remember clearly. In any case, you cannot put these things on the table."

"The southwest is the southwest of the imperial court. If the Mu family wants to make the southwest surname Mu and want to divide the southwest, the imperial court will still fight westward in the future. Do you understand?"

These words were a warning left by Li Xin to the Mu family, and it was also the bottom line of shackles left by him to the Mu family in the southwest. That is, it can be realistic but not famous. If the Mu family is too high-profile in the southwest, it will only become a hidden danger for Li Xin.

The father and son looked at each other and bowed their heads.

"Don't worry, the Mu family will only be the Mu family. We will help the Marquis guard Hanzhou City, and the Mu family will not ask if they can do it."

Li Xin nodded with a smile.

"Uncle Mu just thought about it. I trust my female family very much."

Li Xin suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, the Li family of Zhaojun who entered Hanzhou City a few days ago did not cause trouble in Hanzhou City?"

Mu Qing said, "After we received the letter from the Marquis, we found a place to settle them in the city. They left us a lot of property, saying that we had negotiated with the Marquis and that we had already preserved the property for the Marquis."

Marquis Jing'an smiled and said, "Those property were indeed something I had negotiated with them, but it was the military expenditure of the Hanzhou rebel army. The remnants of Nanshu have been silent for decades. It is impossible for them to have much property. Uncle Mu will use these things to raise the army first so that the Mu family can have some respite, so that the Mu family will not support tens of thousands of people now."

Raising the army is just spending money. The state machine like the imperial court cannot support too many people, let alone a family like the Mu family, which is in a stable area. With the Mu family's financial resources, it is estimated that the 50,000 people will be supported for several months, and the family's financial resources will be emptied.

Mu Qing lowered his head deeply.

"Thank you, Marquis for thinking about my Mu family."

Li Xin shook his head and continued to speak: "There is another thing that is most important."

Both father and son were serious and said, "Mr. Marquis, please tell me."

"I believe you can see that the Pingnan Army was not completely defeated."

Li Xin looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "At least 50,000 or 60,000 people were scattered into the southwest by Li Shen. These people cannot make any waves for the time being, but it is difficult to guarantee that they will become hidden dangers in the future. Uncle Mu and Brother Mu are in the southwest and want to help me watch these people. If there is any disturbance, write me a letter immediately."

The father and son looked at each other and said, "Don't worry, Marquis, we will pay attention."

"Fifty thousand people, even if they are scattered, they can't hide them. After you find them, you can just look at them. There is no need to force them. Although these people do not have armor, most of them still have weapons."

When Li Shen was about to surrender, he gave Mianzhu tens of thousands of sets of armor, which means that at least tens of thousands of square meters of southern troops were armorless.

Moreover, these people must be wearing casual clothes when they leave Jincheng, and are unlikely to wear Pingnan military uniforms.

Mu Qing lowered his eyebrows and said, "If the marquis said, the movements of 50,000 people are quite common, and I can touch their movements for up to two months."

Li Xin nodded with satisfaction.

Then he continued.

"There is the military merits of the Hanzhou rebel army."

Marquis Jing'an said in a deep voice: "Jincheng has been broken. So all the Pingnan Army, except for deserters, surrendered, if anyone else died in Mianzhu in battle."

"The Hanzhou rebels fought bravely to kill the enemy and killed tens of thousands of rebels in the Pingnan Army."

Speaking of this, Li Xin looked at Mu Ying with a heavy gaze.

"Brother Mu, you want to go to the capital with me to receive merit. After you arrive in the capital, you will say that."

Mu Ying smiled bitterly and said, "The holes of these tens of thousands of people are too difficult to fake. Can the court believe it?"

Marquis Jing'an lowered his eyebrows and said.

"We are all doing things in the southwest. Whatever I can say, the court must believe in."

"They believed it, and everyone was in peace."
