Da Chen Taijian was the fifth day of June in the tenth year.

The trees outside the Jiangling Mansion Wharf in Jingzhou are like forests, and the wharf is crowded with people.

There are ordinary people who come to join in the fun, there are soldiers who are responsible for maintaining order, and there are even officials with their own thoughts. One after another, their eyes staggered and fell on the building ship that was leaning on the most central berth of the dock.

They waited for the figure, the figure of the young man who had become a legend because of too many victories.

Li Xinchen did not live up to their expectations and soon appeared at the bow of the ship.

He didn't rush off the boat, but looked around the dock.

On the fifth day of August last year, Li Xinchen left Jiangling Mansion and arrived at Xinzhou City, and the Battle of Bashu began, and ten months later, he returned to the place where he began.

It's just that everything has changed dramatically, and he Li Xinchen is no longer the unknown person who is not even as high as Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie, the two deputy officers, and Bashu's victory has made Li Xinchen the focus of everyone's attention.

No one will continue to question the gaze of Wu Mingche and Xiao Maha at the beginning, and what they need to worry about now is what this young man who has too many legends to understand at all, what he is thinking and what he wants to do.

He is also a pebble, but a pebble that falls anywhere and sets off huge waves.

The river breeze blew his sleeves, Li Xinchen took a deep breath and walked off the warship quickly. Xu Deyan and Cheng Feng guarded Li Xinchen on the left and right, and then there were two civil officials, Gu Yewang and Tang Qi, when the five people stepped off the warship, the soldiers gathered from the rest of the ships stood on their left and right, each soldier was brightly clothed and armored, and the swords and guns in their hands were bright.

They stood opposite Xiao Maha and his personal guards, who were also lined up in a neat line, and the eyes of each soldier were intertwined, and they could even feel the chill in their eyes.

They knew that these were friendly forces, but they were not just friendly forces.

Gu Yewang followed Li Xinchen to the dock, and when he stepped on the stone steps on the pier down-to-earth, Gu Yewang couldn't help but sigh softly: "Every time I come back, I have a different feeling." I remember the last time I came, we had just taken Ba County, and the enemy was overwhelmed, and we were almost trying to survive in the slits, and now everything is turned upside down. ”

Xu Deyan and the others all smiled when they heard this.

Thinking about those days, it can really be said that he was struggling in the Jedi, and no one would have thought that he would be able to come to this Gangneung Mansion alive one day. And all this is a miracle created by Li Xinchen with them.

Thinking of this, all eyes converged on the back of the young man in front.

He changed the entire Bashu battle situation, and he didn't know how he would change Nanchen and the whole world?

"Gu Gongke is still worried?" Xu Deyan squinted slightly, and he didn't know if it was because the sunlight was a little dazzling or if he was thinking about something.

Gu Yewang was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Worried? That was the last time I was here, and now······ Only faith! ”

Xu Deyan nodded solemnly and quickly followed Li Xinchen. And Gu Yewang didn't hesitate at all, his steps were also fast, and he couldn't tell that he was an old man.

Maybe it's because he also has new ideals and fighting spirit in his heart, so he naturally becomes younger.

"The last general will see the general, the history of the assassin!" Li Xinchen walked quickly in front of Xiao Maha and Zhou Qu, and bowed his hands deeply.

Xiao Maha hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to support Li Xinchen's arm: "Shizhong doesn't need to be polite, hurry up." ”

Li Xinchen responded with a smile, raised his head and met Xiao Maha's gaze, although he had been away for ten months, although there was too much dirt and hostility in the middle, but at this moment, Xiao Maha's gaze was still Li Xinchen's familiar warmth and trust.

This man who used to be in and out of the chaotic army obviously still admires Li Xinchen and still trusts Li Xinchen, even if the court and Li Xinchen were once tense, even if Li Xinchen has repeatedly expressed his antipathy.

Xiao Maha is still the same Xiao Maha, this man who is not confused in his years has always maintained his simplicity and sincerity.

He has surprising loyalty to Nan Chen, and even if Chen Shubao gave him a green hat in history, he still insisted on fighting for Nan Chen until Chen Shubao surrendered first; After the rebellion of the old department in the south of the Sui Dynasty, Xiao Maha was in a high position and began to prepare for retirement, but he did not hesitate to put down all support.

Corresponding to this loyalty, it is naturally the simple trust that is now presented in front of Li Xinchen.

He felt that he knew Li Xinchen, and he believed in Li Xinchen as always.

This made Li Xinchen even feel a little ashamed in his heart.

It is not terrible to deceive a scheming person, what is terrible is to deceive a simple and honest person, because deception is easy to deceive, but the moral whipping after deception will make people unforgettable for a long time. And now Li Xinchen has to deceive Xiao Maha.

He needs to convince Xiao Maha that he is still loyal to the Nanchen court, so that Xiao Maha will support him as much as possible and as always, and with Xiao Maha's existence, Li Xinchen will have more confidence to go to Jiankang Mansion.

Of course, Li Xinchen also knew that Xiao Maha didn't want to watch a big fight between Li Xinchen and Nan Chen, Li Xinchen was in Bashu, what kind of threat to Jingzhou was, Xiao Maha knew very well that once Li Xinchen and Northern Zhou joined forces, then Jiangling would be the turtle in the urn.

In addition to believing in Li Xinchen and winning over Li Xinchen, in fact, Xiao Maha has no better choice. Xiao Maha needs to gain a foothold in Jingzhou, and he understands the truth of rabbit death and dog cooking, only when the Northern Zhou Dynasty still poses a threat to Nan Chen, and only when Li Xinchen still maintains a relationship with Nan Chen as a monarch or ally, Xiao Maha's position can be firm.

Li Xinchen's gaze was slightly deflected, and it fell on Zhou Qu next to him, compared to Xiao Maha, Zhou Qu's gaze was obviously much more complicated. Zhou does represent the interests of the East Palace, he needs to know what Li Xinchen's intention to go to Jiankang Mansion this time is, and he needs to determine whether the current Li Xinchen should become a partner of the East Palace.

Li Xinchen smiled slightly: "After a long absence, Zhou Gong is in good spirits, and it is better than in the past." ”

Zhou Qu said lightly: "It's such an old bone, half-buried person, how can you talk about being spiritual, it's just for this Da Chen to talk about exerting residual heat." ”

As he spoke, Zhou Qu's eyes vigilantly looked Li Xinchen and the few people behind Li Xinchen up and down.

Zhou Qu had to admit that he hadn't seen him for more than ten months, Li Xinchen was a little more mature, and more importantly, the people who followed him, except for Gu Yewang, who Zhou had confirmed, were all very young, and except for Xu Deyan, the rest of the people Zhou had not seen Zhou Qu, which showed that Li Xinchen had cultivated a new team in Bashu.
