Daqin: Ask Zulong for the crown prince at the beginning

Therefore, Hou Shen and Hu Hai asked for an authorization, and led a small number of imperial guards directly into Longxi.

Although Longxi is Li Xin's territory, in the whole world, there is no king.

With the king's order, Hou Shen naturally led the army into Longxi very smoothly.

It's not that the defenders in Longxi didn't want to report, it's because they had no chance at all.

Hou Shen is the matter of the Great Master, they know it, Hou Shen is now in a high position, they have no way to offend them, and now that Hou Shen has brought His Majesty's authorization, they have no reason to stop Hou Shen from entering the city to do business.

After Hou Shen left, the city guard immediately reported the matter to Longxi Hou Li Xin.

But it's too late.

Hou Shen had already inquired into the situation a few days ago. He knew that Li Xin's weakness was his family members. Other than that, there was no way for Li Xin to stand on Hu Hai's side.

Now, the world is already dominated by Hu Hai. As Hu Hai's most capable subordinate, he is also a nominal teacher. He can do whatever he wants, and no one can stop him.

Kidnapping Li Xin's family members is a bit shameless and base, but Hou Shen doesn't think there is anything wrong with it.

Victory is justice.

All the despicable and shameless things done on the day when he holds power will be forgotten by the world. It is impossible for these despicable and shameless practices to be recorded in history books, and future generations will not know.

Therefore, he was not at all worried that this would tarnish Hu Hai's reputation.

After learning that Li Xin's wives and concubines were so virtuous, Hou Shen set his sights on Li Xin's wives and concubines.

No, I went all out today and arrested them directly while they were out.

When he learned of Hou Shen's arrival, Li Xin's hey expression instantly became ugly.

He knew that Hou Shen and Hu Hai would definitely not be able to see what he had done, and they must be very upset with him, but he really didn't expect that Ying Zheng would be so confused that he would hand over the ruling power to Hu Hai to act as his agent.

Otherwise, he, the Marquis of Longxi, could still protect his family and his people well.

Upon hearing the news, Li Xin couldn't sit still immediately, and immediately got up to take his wife and concubine back, and find Hou Shen by the way, to see what this despicable man wanted to do.

But as soon as he went out, he saw Hou Shen.

"Longxihou, long time no see, I feel more and more refreshed!"

Hou Shen came up with a polite greeting, but this greeting was extremely ironic to Li Xin.

"Master Hou Shen, no, Great Master, I don't know why you are visiting my little Longxi. I heard that you also brought the king's letter. This letter must have been given to you by Mr. Huhai!"

Li Xin stared at Hou Shen viciously, he knew that the visitor was not kind, and this person must have come to trouble him, so he was not polite at all.

"Hey, Marquis of Longxi, don't be so hot-tempered. Hou Shen is an alchemist, and he can be regarded as a half-doctor. Judging by Marquis of Longxi's appearance, he must be served comfortably recently."

"Longxi Hou's Yan Fu is not bad, but, you have to pay attention to your body!"

Just as Li Xin wanted to scold him, the weasel paid a New Year greeting to the chicken, and immediately realized something was wrong.

If the subordinates who went to find the wives and concubines haven't come back yet, it means that they must be in trouble.

There are only a few vegetable markets in Longxi, and they are relatively fixed. His wives and concubines also dress more gorgeously and have a more outstanding temperament. It is very easy to find them.Among the crowd, it can be seen at a glance, but now, his wife and concubines haven't come back, isn't that equivalent to being arrested?

"Hou Shen, what do you mean, you just greet me when you come up, could it be that you captured my wife and concubine?"

As expected, Li Xin is someone highly valued by Ying Zheng, and he can understand what you want to say with a few insinuations.

"Hahahaha, General Li Xin, you are indeed very smart. Yes, your wife and concubine was arrested by me, and it was reasonable and legal. Your Majesty asked me to arrest you. Why, General Li Xin, do you want to check it? Your Majesty's order!"

Hou Shen had a proud face, and he did not hide his actions at all.

That's right, he is now in the middle of the spring breeze. What he wants to do just needs to be packaged a little bit, so that the matter can pass on the surface, and Hu Hai will move his hands and stamp it with a seal, and it will immediately become a reasonable and legal thing. .

He, Hou Shen, has been wronged for so long, so he is arrogant, is there anything he can't do?

When his own thoughts were confirmed, Li Xin immediately became furious, his joints creaked from his pinching, it was obvious that he was going to do something.

But before he could make a move, he was held back by his butler.

"General, you must not get excited about this matter. The letter brought by the great master must have been authorized by His Majesty. There is no need to have any doubts. General, think about who is the current regent, and he and Hou Shen , what is the relationship."

If Li Xin's punch directly hit Hou Shen in the face, that would be fine, he would talk too much.

At that time, Li Xin will have a handle in his hands. At that time, he doesn't want to do things for Hu Hai, and there is nothing he can do, unless he doesn't want his current position and doesn't want to protect his relatives.

He is very clear that in this era, if he loses his official position, then everyone who has offended him before will come to settle accounts with him.

Hu Hai threw an olive branch towards him several times, but was ruthlessly rejected by him. If he lost the position of Marquis of Longxi, he would definitely be tortured mercilessly by him. At that time, let alone himself, There is no way to protect even my own family.

After listening to his housekeeper's words, and thinking about the stakes, Li Xin had no choice but to put away his fists and stared angrily at the despicable man in front of him.

"Hou Shen, you are very nice, how dare you treat my family like this!".

Chapter 409 Threat

Li Xin's words were obviously threatening, but Hou was not panicked at all, he was not worried about his own safety at all.

why?Because he is very clear that anyone who practices martial arts is generally a person who values ​​love and righteousness, not to mention Li Xin. The people of Longxi are very clear about Li Xin, the Marquis of Longxi, who is benevolent and righteous.

He is too willing to do so many things for the common people, and respects every common man, let alone his pillow.

He understood that as long as Li Xin's wives and concubines were in his hands, Li Xin would never dare to mess around.

Li Xin, who was held back, adjusted his emotions, put away his posture, and could only say this viciously.

"Hahaha, Marquis of Longxi, is there anything I dare not do now? Tell my master, is there anything I dare not do in the whole of Great Qin now?"

"Why, is it possible that you, Li Xin, Marquis of Longxi, want to challenge my majesty?"

Threatened by Li Xin, Hou Shen could still be so calm and arrogant, this is something Li Xin never expected, but Li Xin really has nothing to do with him.

His actions are all defined as reasonable actions. If he fights with Hou Shen, he must be the one who suffers, and he will be controlled by others at that time.

On the other hand, my women are in Hou Shen's hands, and my women are so good to me, I can't ignore their safety.

Therefore, he, Li Xin, is not qualified to fight Hou Shen at all now. Even if Hou Shen is a piece of trash in front of him, a piece of trash that can be crushed to death with one hand, he can only endure Hou Shen's provocation.

"What's the matter, Marquis Longxi, you seem to be much more honest, not as irritable as before? Didn't you still look like you were going to kill me just now? Why did you suddenly become so honest? Huh? You won't kill me?"

Hou Shen is still provoking. Li Xinming's stubbornness has always been a headache for Hou Shen and Hu Hai. As for the ministers of civil and military affairs in the court, basically all of them have surrendered. Only Li Xin and Wang Ben , has always been a tough nut to crack.

After giving Hou Shen and Hu Hai a headache for so long, Hou Shen finally got the handle on him, how could he not humiliate him well?

I want to kill you, how could I not want to kill you?If you hadn't captured my wife and concubine, I would have torn you to pieces long ago, and I don't care if you act under orders or act without authorization.

Li Xin was furious, but he had to endure it.

If it wasn't for his own wife and concubine, Li Xin would have torn Hou Shen's body into tens of thousands of pieces, and it wouldn't be his turn for this bastard Hou Shen to point fingers in front of his eyes.

"Lord Hou Shen, if you have anything to say, you can say it clearly. You don't need to beat around the bush like this. Between you and me, if there is anything you can talk about, or you can't talk about it, you can talk about it directly."

"All my life, Li has behaved rightly and sat upright, and has always disdained to be with villains. If you can talk to each other, Li will help the national teacher complete what you want to accomplish. If you can't talk to each other, Li is willing Pay a sum of money in exchange for the safety of my wife and concubine!"

Li Xin is really a bold person, and he directly expressed his inner thoughts.

Hou Shen was really a clown in front of him, he didn't talk about Hu Hai, it was all because he was living on the salary of the Ying clan and couldn't speak ill of the Ying clan, otherwise, he would have to scold Hu Hai a few words .

Seeing that Li Xin still had this attitude, Hou Shen was really furious.

"I said, Li Xin, why are you pretending to be noble? Don't you know what the general trend is? Compared with Young Master Hu Hai and Ying Ziye, he is indeed inferior. I don't deny that."

"But you have to know that in the struggle of the royal family, the one who has the ability to win the emperor's position in the end is a good son, and that is the real emperor."

"Wing Ziye's talent, I don't deny it at all. He is indeed very, very powerful, very, very talented and capable, but didn't he lose in the end?"

What Hou Shen said was the truth, and Li Xin did not deny it. Winning Ziye was indeed a loss, and he was too good to lose if he lost.

"Hou Shen, I know what you want to say. It is absolutely impossible for me to stand on Hu Hai's side. Although Li Xin is a courtier of the Ying clan, Li Xin still has his own ideas."

"Li Xin will do things for the benefit of Daqin, but if you want to fight internally, I'm sorry~"

The attitude was already very clear, and the answer was within Hou Shen's expectations. Li Xin was a tough guy, and if he could be persuaded so easily, then they wouldn't have such a long headache.

· · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·?????????????????????

clap clap clap~

Hou Shen applauded.

"That's good, that's right. Let me just say, it's not a loss to come here this time. If it weren't for some of your women, I'm afraid I would really just come here for nothing today."

As Hou Shen spoke, he handed out Ying Zheng's letter, or Hu Hai's letter.

Anyway, now that Hu Hai is in power, his words are the words of Ying Zheng.

"It is reasonable and legal to arrest your wives and concubines. You also know what kind of state it will be in the prison in Xianyang City. As a general, you will not be unclear. Those who come out are basically useless people.”

......  

"Especially women, what will happen to them in the prison, I don't need to say more, since General Li Xin is unwilling to talk about it, then I won't force it~"

After speaking, he threw the handwritten letter on the ground, then turned around and left with the people.

Looking at the handwriting thrown on the ground, Li Xin was extremely entangled in his heart.

Ying Ziye, what a good prince, His Royal Highness, he accomplished something that several generations of Qin kings could not accomplish. His achievements surpassed all the previous Qin kings.

With such a prince, how could he not support the rebellious, treacherous and cunning Hu Hai?

He felt that he couldn't do it, he really couldn't keep company with such a despicable person.

But if he doesn't agree, his wife and concubines will suffer again.

The Great Prison of Xianyang City, what kind of place is that, let alone whether you can come out alive, even if you come out alive, wouldn't your wives and concubines have been insulted hundreds of times?

He, Li Xin, didn't mind. His wives and concubines must have no face to live in this world. Can he really see the wives and concubines who have served him for so long being tortured like this?The problem is they are innocent.

Hou Shen's footsteps were neither fast nor dissatisfied, which showed that his heart was extremely calm, yes, what is there to be nervous about, now the initiative is in his hands, and he can do whatever he wants.

Even without Li Xin's support, he can find other capable people to deal with Ying Ziye.

Chapter 410 The late festival will not be guaranteed, the faint king

After the Great Qin unified the six countries, the most indispensable thing is talents. Such a vast land has brought together the population of seven countries. Such a huge empire, will there be a shortage of talents?

He, Hou Shen, was really not worried at all. He came to such a move, on the one hand, to give Li Xin another chance, and on the other hand, to contain Li Xin after the war broke out in the future.

Even if Li Xin is unwilling to help, don't cause trouble. If Li Xin rebels, it will definitely have a great impact on the morale of the soldiers of Daqin, and it will be very unfavorable for the two armies to start a war.

Therefore, Li Xin's wives and concubines cannot be returned to Li Xin.

Unless Li Xin directly breaks face with Ying Ziye, beats up the Northern Territory, kills some people in the Northern Territory, and makes Ying Ziye completely break with him, only then can Li Xin's wives and concubines be returned to him.

Hou Shen's footsteps were getting farther and farther, and every time "Mo Hong" took a step, it seemed that a long time had passed. Li Xin was old, but his eyes were still very clear.

From his eyes, you can see justice, from his eyes, you can see his loyalty, his loyalty.

The tightly clenched fist was terribly tight, the veins on the back of the hand were bulging, the nails were poked open by his own flesh, and blood oozed out of the fist.

These pains were nothing compared to the pain in his heart.

Just when Hou Shen was about to step into the carriage and leave here, Li Xin spoke.

"Master, wait!"

The servants behind Li Xin looked at his back and felt very heartbroken. They knew that no matter what decision their general made, he would regret it immensely.

Seeing that Li Xin had finally made a decision, the servants breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward one after another to support the general who was so angry that he couldn't stand still.

"Oh? Marquis Longxi, you finally figured it out. Okay, if that's the case, we can have a good talk."

Hou Shen stopped in his tracks, revealed a meaningful smile, and put down the curtain that was raised just now.

It is conceivable to seek skin with a tiger.

After compromising, Li Xin realized how stupid his decision was.

Hou Shen said that he could release him, but he had to wait until the northern border was breached and Ying Ziye was captured before he could return him.

When he heard this, Li Xin directly raised his fist angrily, but when he put his fist in front of Hou Shen, he stopped.

No, he can't do this. If he does, not only will he not be able to save his wife and concubines, but he will also be caught. Once he loses his military power, he will be nothing.

Not to mention Hou Shen, Hu Hai's faction, anyone can bully him and his family. At that time, he will not even have the qualifications to negotiate with Hou Shen, let alone save his own woman from the prison in Xianyang City. Out.

In this way, Li Xin became Hu Hai's running dog.
