The terrain of Bashu is rugged, there are Xiongguan Mandao in several directions facing the outside, there are Jiameng Pass to the Sword Pavilion in the north, and there are Shu Road again, and there are Three Gorges and Kuimen in the east, there is the White Emperor City and this important town that guards the throat of the river, so it is not easy for ordinary people to enter Bashu, and it is not easy to go out from Bashu, Bashu is self-contained and independent of the world.

But Li Xinchen didn't want to be trapped here, and when the internal situation in Bashu stabilized, he would definitely take action externally.

If Li Xinchen is given enough time, Li Xinchen guarantees that he can do it, after all, he has administrative management ideas ahead of this era, has a lot of historical experience, and there is no problem in developing little by little.

But he didn't have so much time now, Li Xinchen had to use the simplest and most effective way to stabilize the situation in Bashu, and then free up enough strength to deal with Northern Zhou or Southern Chen, or even be enemies of both forces at the same time.

Li Xinchen's eyes suddenly darkened, he only said that the candle was blown out, and subconsciously looked up, and a figure stood in front of the candle. Li Xinchen smiled: "Xiang'er, why did you come here at this time?" ”

Xiao Xiang handed a letter in his hand to Li Xinchen, and walked over and gently pinched Li Xinchen's shoulder: "Husband, it's not early, rest early, Husband has been running all day in and out of the city today, don't be tired." ”

Li Xinchen nodded, anyway, these appointment orders will not be issued until tomorrow when he sees the officials in those places before he can decide whether to issue them, so there is no need to panic at this time. On the contrary, he was more curious about the letter in Xiao Xiang's hand, and when he took it, he just saw the handwriting on the envelope, and he already knew who wrote it.

Juanxiu's handwriting used to be something that Li Xinchen was happy to see, but now Li Xinchen felt that he had no face to meet the owner of the letter.

Xiao Xiang said lightly: "Husband, this is the fifth letter this month, and I don't know how many are on the way, don't you really plan to reply?" ”

Li Xinchen put the letter on the table: "It's not that you don't know, those letters haven't been opened, because I really don't want to face these ······ If there is anyone who is guilty, Lechang must be one of them, so being able to escape is not a good thing for me and her, it is better than continuing to break her heart. ”

Xiao Xiang chuckled: "I didn't expect General Zhenxi, who is not afraid of the sky and the earth, to have people who are afraid and don't want to see." ”

If it was the original, Li Xinchen would definitely make a joke, but now he doesn't have so many thoughts, so he can only say slowly: "I have to say that Chen Xu's grasp of people's minds is still very accurate." ”

I'm afraid the emotions between Li Xinchen and Le Chang are difficult for both of them to say clearly, it should be a kind of dependence and dependence love that arises spontaneously in a desperate situation, this sudden fetter is hidden deep in the bottom of the heart, and when the word "family and country" is added to it, it is very heavy. This is also the reason why Li Xinchen doesn't even want to face it now.

Li Xinchen didn't know if he was cowardly - speaking of which, he didn't seem to be as active as Lechang's daughter's family - but Li Xinchen didn't feel that what he did was wrong.

Because now Li Xinchen has just had a stable foothold, he doesn't even know what his future is, let alone whether the people who follow him can do well, Li Xinchen has too many things on his shoulders, he doesn't want to evade responsibility, but feels that if he continues to take on more, he will only let down more people.

Xiao Xiang directly took the letter, but he didn't open it, and his voice was a little solemn: "Your Majesty gave marriage, and in the future, Sister Lechang will be the eldest woman in the family, and now that the concubine is trespassing the etiquette, she will ask her husband a question for Sister Lechang." ”

Li Xinchen was a little surprised by Xiao Xiang's sudden seriousness, and he said in a deep voice: "You can say it, maybe you have to think about it." ”

Xiao Xiangxiu frowned slightly: "Does the husband like Sister Lechang?" ”

Li Xinchen had already expected that Xiao Xiang might ask this question, and gently stretched out his hand to grab Xiao Xiang's hand. In fact, he also knew that it didn't make much sense for Xiao Xiang to ask the rest of the questions, because in the final analysis, it was still this one question, if Li Xinchen liked Lechang and wanted to protect this unique emotion, then even if he was hesitant and worried, he would eventually come forward.

Sometimes Li Xinchen is an out-and-out idealist, he thinks that what he can do, he will work hard to turn it into reality, and even if he feels that he can't do it, he will try to challenge it.

Perhaps most of the time, idealists are on their knees in front of the harsh reality, but at least now Li Xinchen is staggering down a bumpy and rugged road.

Despite the hardships, he is still moving forward.

Now Xiao Xiang asked him if he was still willing to put a thorn on his body, and Li Xinchen could only be silent for a while.

With this added wattle, pain is inevitable.

But Li Xinchen is still willing, because in exchange, he can get the person he loves.

Compared with the love of those moths to the fire, although this kind of love is still heavy, it is not impossible for Li Xinchen.

"I like it." Li Xinchen said lightly, "There is nothing to lie about this." ”

Xiao Xiang bowed slightly, obviously not surprised by Li Xinchen's answer, and she knew better that Li Xinchen planned to take on this responsibility, so she would inevitably bear it to the end, her husband always had such a stubborn head.

And Li Xinchen said seriously: "Xiang'er, you have to think about it, a certain time is limited, if Lechang comes, there will be even less left for you." ”

Xiao Xiang just quietly held Li Xinchen's hand, leaned down to Li Xinchen's ear, and blew like an orchid: "As long as the husband feels happy, the concubine will be happy, as for the rest, as long as our hearts are tied together, how much time is it?" ”

Li Xinchen shook his head: "It's just as important, because every inch of time with you is very important to so-and-so." ”

While speaking, Li Xinchen gently tugged Xiao Xiang, Xiao Xiang sat in Li Xinchen's arms, and a few strands of the girl's hair slid down her forehead and landed on Li Xinchen's shoulders. And Li Xinchen quietly hugged Xiao Xiang, Xiao Xiang's voice was very low, and his pretty face was slightly red because of Li Xinchen's dishonest hand:

"It is impossible to say that the concubine has no selfishness at all, after all, the concubine also wants to take her husband's time at home for herself. But the concubine believes in her husband, and she will not snub the concubine because of Sister Lechang, right? ”

Li Xinchen hugged Xiao Xiang tighter and tighter, grabbed Xiao Xiang's little finger and shook it, and said solemnly: "Okay!" ”

And his eyes stared at Xiao Xiang's side face.

Red face and troubled water, this is true!
