Unparalleled Concubine

Chapter 348 Are You Worth It?

Because the thatched cottage was too dilapidated, there was no way to live in it, so Li Xin borrowed and lived in the home of Lin Orhu at the foot of the mountain. Although the Lin family was not rich, they still had three wooden houses for people to live in.

Lin Liehu also knew that Li Xin was well-off, so in order to give Li Xin room, he took his wife to live in someone else's house temporarily, and vacated his own house.

When Lin Oru's son, Lin Hu, found out that Li Xin was now a high-ranking official, he immediately became a fan of Li Xin.

He tugged on Li Xin's sleeve and begged Li Xin to take him to be an official too.

Frankly, it's not impossible.

Because with Li Xin's current status, arranging people to enter the Habayashi Guard is just a one-sentence matter, and Lin Hu's physique is very strong, so there is no problem at all in entering the Habayashi Guard.

But the ugly things must be said first.

Master Li looked at Lin Hu indifferently, and said in Qi Yang dialect: "Hu Zi, I can take you into the Yulin Guard, but there are some things that must be explained to you clearly."

Lin Hu chuckled: "Brother Xin, tell me."

Li Xin looked serious.

"I can take you into the Habayashi Guard, but it doesn't mean that you can become what I am now if you enter the Habayashi Guard. You may work in the Habayashi Guard for a lifetime, and you will not be able to be a school lieutenant."

For Li Xin to achieve today's achievement, opportunity, luck, and hard work are indispensable, the most important of which is this timing. If other people want to have his chance, at least they have to wait until Emperor Taikang dies of old age and the next generation of princes seizes the throne.

Moreover, Emperor Taikang had already established a crown prince early, even decades later, there might not be such an opportunity.

Lin Hu rolled his eyes and asked, "Would that make the magistrate bow to me?"

Li Xin's face darkened.

What kind of bullshit target is this...

"As long as you can be a captain, you should be able to..."

"Then I'll follow Brother Xin!"

Li Xin shook his head and continued: "Another point is that being a Habayashi guard is dangerous. Those people in the capital are much more vicious than the tigers in the mountains."

Lin Hu smiled honestly, expressing that he is not afraid of tigers.

Li Xin nodded: "Then you can ask Uncle Lin tomorrow. If he agrees, I will take you to the capital."

It is actually a very common phenomenon that one person ascends to the sky. As long as a person can climb to a high position, he will naturally lead a large group of people together. These people are either friends, or be a student, or a family.

Among them, the family is the most.

Take the Prime Minister Huan Chu in the capital as an example. In the capital, Prime Minister Huan can be said to be an upright and upright official, but his family in his hometown has grown into a behemoth over the past few decades.

This kind of thing is inevitable. You can't use this to say that Huan Chu is a hypocrite, because he may not give any convenience to his family, but as long as he is in the center and has this reputation, the family will naturally thrive.

So did Li Xin.

To put it bluntly, with Li Xin's status in the new dynasty, he can support a big family that is not inferior to the Huan family, but it is a pity that he has no father's family... nor will he have a mother's family in the future.

But people like Lin Hu who are born "confidantes" can still lead him on the road. As long as Lin Hu is obedient enough, Li Xin is sure to let him take the position of General Habayashi Wei Zhonglang before he is 40 years old.

even earlier.

…………

After staying in Qiyang County for three or four days, Li Xin finally found the person he had been waiting for.

Mu Ying.

Mu Ying left the capital a few days earlier than Li Xin, but he went back alone and had a station to change horses along the way, so he was much faster than Li Xin, and returned to Shu County early.

According to Li Xin's previous agreement with him, the two met in Qiyang County.

When I saw Mu Ying, it was in the afternoon, and Li Xin was watching the progress of the grave repair on Mount Qi. Mu Ying, who was dressed in black, bent over to Li Xin and said, "General Zhonglang, I'm back."

Li Xin glanced back at him and pulled him aside.

"You came alone?"

Mu Ying shook her head, and said in a low voice: "My father also came along, but he was afraid that the people around you would be unclean, so he didn't bring them here, and asked him to wait in the inn in the county seat."

Muying's father is the head of the Mu family in Southern Xinjiang.

The situation in southern Xinjiang is very complicated. Li Xin does not have the ability to cut through the mess quickly, so he can only take his time. The Mu family in southern Xinjiang is the first thread.

Li Xin shook his head slightly: "Maybe the unclean people are stationed on the other side of Qishan Mountain. I didn't let them follow. There are absolutely no problems with the twenty or thirty people who follow me."

Mu Ying smiled: "Then I will take you to see my father?"

Li Xin looked up at the sky, hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head and said: "Forget it, please be more stable, and go at night."

Mu Ying smiled slightly, told Li Xin the name of the inn, and went back to the county first.

After all, this is not Shu County, and his father still needs to rely on him as an "official" to protect him.

After finally staying up until the evening, Li Xin changed into a slightly more ordinary clothes, took a few Habayashi guards, got into a carriage, and prepared to go to the county seat.

Then he looked at a group of about forty or fifty people and walked towards them.

The first person was Xiao Xiuqi who was driven home by Li Xin a few days ago.

He led an old man towards the cabin of the Lin family.

Just this afternoon, the Xiao family finally found out the origin of this young Lord Hou, and finally realized that this young Lord Hou was the bastard born of the illegitimate pregnancy of the youngest daughter Xiao Qinglan.

Although they don't understand why this bastard suddenly turned into the Marquis of Jing'an, the Xiao family knows very well that they must seize the opportunity.

Xiao Mingli, the patriarch of the Xiao family, who is also Li Xin's grandfather, brought forty or fifty Xiao family members with him to the door to recognize his relatives, almost without any consideration.

This is a Marquis, a Marquis...

With such a thigh, not to mention anything else, at least in Yongzhou Mansion, the Xiao family can run amok!

At this time, Li Xin was about to get into the carriage. After seeing Xiao Xiuqi, he was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what these people were here for.

Master Li jumped into the carriage without hesitation, and said calmly to Habayashiro who was driving the carriage, "Go to the county seat."

The carriage had already been blocked by dozens of people, Habayashiro hesitated for a moment, and decided to follow General Zhonglang's order and ride his horse over.

Mr. Xiao coughed, and said very gently to the carriage in front of him, "Xin'er..."

Li Xin in the carriage felt his scalp tingling and almost vomited. He opened the curtain and poked his head out of the carriage.
