MTL - Unparalleled Concubine-v2 Chapter 1178 take the last step

   Chapter 1178 Take the last step

Li Xin stayed in this nunnery for an entire afternoon, and he drank all the half pot of Zhurong wine he brought over. Fortunately, half a pot of wine was only a pound, and he drank slowly. , Li Xin was not drunk, just a little blush on his face.

  Before parting, Cui Jiuniang looked at Li Xin, whose footsteps were a little flimsy, and frowned: "How about Lord Hou rest here for a while, and then leave when you wake up?"

  Li Xin looked up at the sky and found that it was already evening. He shook his head and said, "No, I still have some things to deal with. When I'm done with the things at hand, I'll visit my sister again."

  Cui Jiuniang took him to the door, and said with some emotion: "When you are done with the work at hand, your identity may be very different from now."

   Li Xin was stunned when he heard the words, but he didn't say much, just waved at Jiuniang: "Sister Cui pay attention to your body, I'll see you when I'm free."

Speaking of this, Li Xin suddenly remembered something, turned back to Cui Jiuniang and said with a smile: "I almost forgot to tell my sister about something, that little girl is probably pregnant, and it is estimated that in half a year, I will become a Uncle."

   "Sister has time, you can go to her house to see her, and go for a walk by the way, don't stay in the nunnery all day."

Zhong Xiaoxiao and Zhao Fang have been married for two or three years, but they only lived together after Li Xin entered Beijing. Now that Zhao Fang is serving in Yulinwei, it can be regarded as a career of his own. It was naturally inconvenient to live in the Marquis of Jing'an mansion all the time, so Li Xin set up a modest mansion for the couple in Yonglefang as the Zhao family's mansion.

   After more than two years of marriage, Zhong Xiaoxiao's belly finally moved. Li Xin only learned about the happy event a few days ago.

   Jiuniang leaned against the door and said softly, "Okay, I'll go to her house tomorrow to take a look."

  When Li Xin was working hard in the capital in his early years, he often couldn't take care of Zhong Xiaoxiao, and often put her by Cui Jiuniang's side. This girl can be said to be brought up by Jiuniang, and the two have a very deep relationship.

   Li Xin, who was dressed in purple, waved to Jiuniang and left gracefully.

After Li Xin walked away, a little girl who followed Cui Jiuniang looked at Li Xin's back and asked curiously, "Aunt Cui, who is this person? It's the first time I've seen you with a man. Talking for so long."

Cui Jiuniang has never been married in her whole life, but she did not twist her mind because of this. On the contrary, she really hoped that the people around her would have a good home, so the maids who followed her often followed her for two or three years before she was married off. Girl, I don't know how many.

   Jiuniang looked back at the little girl who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, her tone a little complicated.

   "The most memorable day in your life is probably today."

   Jiuniang's tone was calm: "There is no second person like this, Ken is honored to come to visit our small nunnery."

  …………

Li Xin got into the black carriage that was waiting at the entrance of the alley. After closing his eyes in the carriage for half an hour, he finally returned to the Jing'an Hou Mansion. He had just gotten off the carriage, and the servants of the Hou Mansion hurried over and confronted him. Li Xin lowered his head and said, "Master Hou, Zhao Pushe and General Shenwuwei have been waiting for you at the mansion for two hours..."

   Li Xin exhaled the smell of alcohol and said in a low voice, "I see."

   Zhao Jia and Li Shuo came to visit, which was not unusual, because as soon as the news from Mu Ying reached them, they would definitely come to see Li Xin.

  Li Xin knew early on that they would come, but at that time he was a little confused, so he simply went out and had a drink to relax, leaving the two Southwest Army giants aside.

  After he returned to the house, he first washed his face, then took a few breaths and walked towards the main hall of his house.

Zhao Jia and Li Shuo had been waiting for a long time in the main hall of the Marquis of Jing'an. To be precise, after Li Xin asked Chen Shiliu to deliver Mu Ying's news to them, they came to visit at almost the same time.

   At this moment, the two have been waiting in the Hou residence for two hours, almost an entire afternoon.

   Seeing Li Xin walk in, the two of them quickly got up and saluted Li Xin.

   "Congratulations to the Governor!"

   The two said in unison.

  Li Xin sat on the main seat, looked up at the two people, and then smiled dumbly: "The two of you have discussed your words here?"

Zhao Jia hehe smiled: "Then the governor has wronged him. The governor was waiting in the governor's mansion. He originally wanted to have a few words with General Li, but General Li has been silent, not saying a word. We The two didn't catch a word."

   After the last incident of Ji's assassination of Li Xin, Li Shuo began to distance himself from Mu Ying and Zhao Jia. Until now, unless there is necessary communication, he will not say a single word to these two people.

   This is due to Li Shuo's character and his way of life.

   He is going to be Li Xin's "lone minister".

  Li Xin sat in the main seat, drank two sips of tea to dissipate the alcohol, then pointed to the seats on both sides, and said, "Everyone sit down and talk, you don't need to be so restrained."

   The two of them sat down together.

   After Zhao Jia sat down, he smiled at Li Xin and said, "General Mu's raid for thousands of miles this time directly destroyed the Xianbei King's tent! From then on, I will have a peace in the northern border of Jin Jin for at least 20 years."

   He patted his palms and smiled and said, "Grandpa Ye couldn't do this in the past, but now, under the leadership of the Great Governor, we have done it."

   The right servant of the minister shot his eyes brightly: "This is the destiny!"

   Li Xin looked at Zhao Jia with a half-smile, and then said with a smile, "Brother You An, I understand what you mean, but Master Ye's situation back then was very different from what it is now, so it shouldn't be confused."

   Zhao Jia coughed and said with a laugh: "The Governor said earlier that after Northern Xinjiang succeeds, he will complete the unfinished things in the capital."

   As he spoke, he stood up from the seat and knelt directly in front of Li Xin with a serious expression.

   "Great Governor, now everything is in place, the time is right, the place is right and the people have everything, please follow the mandate of Heaven."

   Li Shuo also stood up from the chair, but he was not as impatient as Zhao Jia, but stood there, looking at Li Xin, waiting for Li Xin's next instructions.

   Li Xin sighed, got up and helped Zhao Jia up, and said, "Brother You An, rest assured, I will not break my promise for what I promised."

   "Starting tomorrow, the troops and horses at the gates of the capital will be replaced, the Jingzhao House, the Inspection Division, Jinwuwei, and the Water Defense Yamen, but all the yamen with soldiers will be taken over by the people of the Southwest Department."

Having said this, Li Xin paused, looked at Zhao Jia and said, "From tomorrow onwards, those opportunistic civil servants that Brother You'an had previously controlled can continue to work, but remember one thing, don't be too explicit, otherwise it will appear I'm waiting for the food to look ugly."

   Having said this, Li Xin paused, and then continued: "Let's build momentum in the capital first."

   Governor Li turned his head to look at Li Shuo and continued: "From tomorrow onwards, you will bring Shenwuwei to the capital and take over the defense of the gates of the capital."

   "I will send three imperial guards to control the imperial city."

   Governor Li's voice was low.

   "Since you have to do it, don't make any mistakes."

   "Before Mu Ying returns to Beijing, do your best to prepare."

   Recommend a friend's book "British Civil Servant", foreign history, if you are interested, you can read it!
