It's almost time to talk, and it's not early. The jerky was also eaten, and the wine was almost drunk. Li Mu dusted off his body and asked one of his most curious questions.

"Brother Yan, I heard that the King of Qi had a holiday with Li Mu, the Marquis of Luoyang, so he was sent to Qizhou. This rebellion is also inseparable from Li Mu's family-" Li Mu lowered his voice and asked mysteriously: "Then I don't know, if Li Mu is caught, what should I do?" ”

"Hey!" When Yan Hongliang heard Li Mu mention Li Mu, he was also full of wine, and his eyes showed an obscene look: "You can be regarded as saying, Li Mu's wife is the number one enemy of His Majesty, and he can't spare anyone." He's going to die, but—"

Li Mu had already guessed what he was going to say from his expression, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and he asked with a smile, "But what?" ”

"I heard that he has five ladies who are like flowers and jade," Yan Hongliang chuckled and patted Li Mu on the shoulder: "Your Majesty is still young, and our four generals plus Shang Shuling are exactly one for each person." If Shangshu is old and exhausted, this general can also laugh at one more, and the right should be an addition hahaha......"

Burst!

The muffled sound of the tip of the knife entering the flesh sounded, and I saw a silver shining sword tip coming out from the back of Yan Hongliang's head. A short sword entered his mouth and passed through his brain, and blood flowed all over Li Mu's hand. Only this time, those who are already dead can no longer die.

Li Mu pressed the door of his head and pulled out the short sword. He rubbed his shirt against his shirt and waved at the guards who were around him.

"What are you doing? What do you mean? ”

Without waiting for Wang Fugui and the others to get close, the guards had already raised their crossbows, and the sound of sighing was endless, and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen 'Qi State sergeants' had already turned into hedgehogs.

The people were already frightened, and they were all like wooden chickens, squatting on the ground and not daring to move. Li Mu came out of the crowd and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, this marquis, in accordance with the will of His Majesty, led the prince Sanwei and the soldiers of Zhuzhichong Mansion to Qizhou to quell the rebellion. Soon, that is, to sweep away the rebellion, you don't need to be afraid. After the army, we prepared our own grain, and asked you to help make rice, settle, not work in vain, and those who help can receive rice! There's a lot of work, and there's still money to get! ”

When the people heard this, they still didn't react. After suffering from this torture, the people no longer believe what the officers and soldiers say.

The atmosphere fell into a strange stalemate, and just as Li Mu was about to speak again, an old man stood up, he knelt down in front of Li Mu, and said, "This nobleman, are you telling the truth?" When Lao Tzu is old, will he dispose of his children? ”

Li Mu helped the old man up and asked, "Are you always there?" ”

"Xiao Lao'er, the head of this village, surnamed Zhang, people call Xiao Lao'er Zhang Laohan."

"Old man," Li Mu affirmed: "We are indeed the counterinsurgency army of the imperial court, I am Li Mu, Marquis of Luoyang, and these people around me are all the prince's personal guards." The crown prince was also in the army, and he was in the rear army. I can also answer the question you just said. Datang governs the world with filial piety, and filial piety is the foundation of human beings. Li You risked the disapproval of the world, violated filial piety and human ethics, and rebelled against the superiors, and His Majesty could not sit idly by. The people of the Tang Dynasty are all the people of my emperor, and His Majesty loves them as one. ”

"If that's the case, then that's fine." Zhang Laohan left tears in his eyes, stretched out his hand to hold Li Mu's hand, and retracted it as if he was afraid: "Since the king of Qi made trouble, the people of Qizhou have not looked forward to the arrival of the king for a day. As the village head, Xiao Lao'er should have eaten a pot of wine to welcome the king's master, but almost all the villages in the village have been snatched away by King Qi's subordinates, and there is really no rations——"

Li Muxin said, I had already guessed that this was the situation, otherwise why would I say that you will be fed?

"The imperial court will find a way to do these things. Ensure that everyone is well fed and clothed, and ensure that next year's spring planting and summer harvest are guaranteed. ”

"That's good, that's good-" Zhang Laohan thanked him again and again, Li Mu gestured to the people who were still kneeling, Zhang Laohan understood, hurriedly turned around, and said: "Folks, get up, Hou Ye won't lie to us, don't go to collect firewood to make a fire, what are you waiting for?" ”

The prestige of the elders in the village really has an effect. The people didn't listen to Li Mu's words, but they were willing to listen to Zhang Laohan's words. Saluted to Li Mu, the men gathered firewood, and the women fetched water and made a fire, ready to cook for the king.

Li Mu sent someone back to deliver the news and asked Li Chengqian to bring someone over, and he talked to Zhang Laohan.

“…… When the King of Qi first came to Qizhou, he did not do any great evil. As long as the people are hiding, life can still be passed. Xiao Lao'er has never heard of King Qi doing anything out of the ordinary, that is, every now and then, I heard that King Qi robbed a woman to enter the mansion, which is this thing. ”

What's the matter? Li Mu felt that his head couldn't keep up again, and robbing the people's girls in Qizhou was considered 'just something'?

Li Mu expressed his doubts, and Zhang Laohan explained to him: "Master Hou doesn't know, in fact, it is a robbery, but it is more voluntary. In ordinary people's families, no matter how handsome the girl is, what man can she marry? But if it was for the king of Qi, he was able to enter the palace. The whole family has ascended to heaven. ”

"......" Li Mu felt that his three views were a little shaken, the script was not like this. Shouldn't someone cry at this time and denounce King Qi's crimes? Why does this old man seem to excuse him?

But after thinking about it, Li Mu could understand. Isn't this the 'sugar daddy' of later generations? Routine operations. Not to mention that it was in the Tang Dynasty, even at that time before Li Mu crossed, this was a very common thing. And it's not just women, but there are also many men. In a relatively fixed social class, this is the fastest and most effective way to improve one's social class.

"It's the people around him who hate it." Zhang Laohan said indignantly: "Especially that Yin Hongzhi, bad bubbling!" He instigated everything, if he hadn't-"

Li Mu's brows furrowed, he hugged his shoulders and watched Zhang Laohan's performance indifferently. Zhang Laohan said with righteous indignation, and suddenly he noticed that it seemed that Li Mu didn't respond for a while, and when he raised his head and saw Li Mu's expression, his whole body froze.

"Hou, Hou Ye......" Zhang Laohan knelt down tremblingly, with cold sweat on his forehead: "Hou Ye forgive your sins, little old man, little old man is a bad person." ”

"Yuan Tiangang's methods are really pervasive." Li Mu snorted coldly, but didn't deal with anything, and said, "You sent it here, or have you been here?" ”

"Xiao Lao'er is a local household." Zhang Laohan explained: "Just because I have received the kindness of Yuan Daochang, I joined the bad people," paused, as if he was afraid that Li Mu would find out again and be embarrassed, and said: "Every year, when the green and yellow are not accepted, the bad people will also send some use." It was on this basis that Xiao Lao'er sat firmly as the village chief of the village——"

Li Mu didn't bother to say anything, and said, "These Benhou don't care, and now I only ask you two questions." One, what is the task you have been taught? Second, how much do you know about the situation in Qizhou City today? ”

"Uh," said Mr. Zhang, who hesitated a little; "Master Hou, the task that the little old man accepted is to inform Master Hou of the news of Qizhou City. But before Xiao Lao'er went to greet the king, the soldiers from Qizhou arrived first, and the Hou Ye also saw the rest of the matter. As for the situation in Qizhou, Xiao Lao'er knows about it, and he basically says about it-"

Seeing that Li Mu was in a hurry, Zhang Laohan hurriedly added; "Master Hou, the little old man is telling the truth. The secret spies of bad people are all in charge of a small place. Xiao Lao'er is only in charge of this village, and he can't leave his post without permission. Don't dare to deceive Master Hou, for more than ten years, the number of times Xiao Lao'er has been to Qizhou City, he has counted all the slaps. ”

"That means that Ben Hou will report the news further forward?"

"Uh," said Mr. Zhang, uncertainly; "Little Lao'er doesn't know, how is it arranged above, how dare Xiao Lao'er speculate."

Li Mu looked at him, it didn't look like he was cheating, and if he wanted to ask again, he would definitely not be able to ask anything, so he waved his hand and drove Zhang Laohan out.

Li Chengqian got in, but he hadn't revealed his identity yet, so the villagers didn't know that he was Li Chengqian, the crown prince of the dynasty, and only regarded him as Li Mu's personal soldier.

"Big brother, let's finish eating, hurry up. When you are in time, you will be able to reach the outside of Qizhou City. Take advantage of the night, let's surprise him, and tomorrow morning, we will be able to eat wontons in Qizhou City. ”

Li Mu ignored him and thought about things a little distractedly.

Li Chengqian raised his hand and waved it in front of Li Mu's eyes, and said, "Big brother, what do you want?" ”

"I'm wondering if our journey is going too well." Li Mu was a little unsure, and said, "Even if Qizhou City is full of straw bales, we won't be able to walk fast along the way." The news that we came to Qizhou, they should have received it a long time ago. Why didn't you even see a scout? ”

"They're just stupid," Li Chengqian didn't think it was so complicated, and said, "Look at the Yan Hongliang you killed today, he doesn't look very smart." Such a person can be crowned the king of Pingxi, which shows that Li You's wife really has no talent under his hands. Saying that, Li Chengqian looked at Li Mu hopefully and said, "Maybe tonight is the first and last stop." Big brother, I'm a pioneer officer appointed by my father, a pioneer? You're not trying to resist it, are you? ”

"Don't come with me." Li Mu glared and said, "Unless your father personally says in front of me, let you be a pioneer." Otherwise, as long as I am the general of counterinsurgency, you will have to sit with me in the tent of the Chinese army. ”

"But..."

"But what is it," Li Mu said angrily: "Have you forgotten that sentence?" A gentleman does not stand under the wall, you are the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. Isn't it the time when the country is ruined and the family is ruined, and you need to charge into battle? ”

"But eldest brother, didn't you say it all, I'm not the prince in the army, I'm Li Yu?"

Li Mu waited for this sentence and said, "It's okay to say that, but let me ask you, is it the general of the counterinsurgency?" ”

"Huh? Oh, yes. ”

"Then I won't let you go, the military order is like a mountain, less nonsense!"

"......" Li Chengqian stared at Li Mu angrily, Li Mu was unmoved, and in the end he was defeated, and turned around and went out.

Li Mu shook his head, cut out a two-finger-wide note, wrote today's news on the note with a fly's head, and then grabbed a pigeon from the pigeon cage, tied it to a bamboo tube and flew out.

……

That night, they set up camp in the village. Zhang Laohan had already mobilized the people, and the three or two of them made do with each other and squeezed in close, giving up some houses for Li Mu and others to live in. But Li Mu refused, there were more than 10,000 people with the army, even if the people in the small village gave up their houses, it was not enough for the army to occupy it. It's better to have nothing than unevenness. Therefore, except for Li Mu and Li Chengqian, who lived alone in a small courtyard, the other soldiers still set up camp according to the old rules.

In the evening, Li Mu and Li Chengqian finished eating together, and called Zhang Laohan again to talk about the surrounding terrain. That night, they set up camp in the village.
