Chapter 45: Go and Return

It was already afternoon when Li Mu left Dingxiang City, and it was already evening when he returned, and it was already midnight when he re-arrived in Dingxiang City. Li Mu drove his horse to the city gate, the city gate had been closed, and before he could shout, countless torches were suddenly lit on the city wall, and someone shouted: "Stop coming, report your name!" ”

Li Mu felt familiar when he heard this voice, and shouted, "Is it Gensheng?" ”

"Huh? Brother-in-law? How did you get back! Open the gates! ”

It is Bai Gensheng on the city wall, there is a way that there is no tiger in the mountain, the monkey is called the king, after Li Mu and Wang Hu are gone, Bai Gensheng seems to be a member of Dingxiang City, leading dozens of young people, responsible for guarding the east gate. This guy is unreliable enough, the black light is blind, he hasn't seen his face clearly, just by sound, he can open the city gate, if this is really against the enemy, isn't it equivalent to giving the city gate away!

Soon, the city gate opened, and Li Mu rode into the city. Bai Gensheng hurried up and asked, "Brother-in-law, why did you come back, you don't know, something big happened." As soon as you left, the county commander said that the Turks were coming, and closed the city gates, why did you come back at this time, there was about to be a war! ”

"I just got the news, too." Li Mu didn't mind being a favor, and said: "Your sister is worried about you, so let me come back, don't worry, your brother-in-law and I are the ones who come and go freely in the Turkic camp, and I am here to ensure that you are okay." ”

"Okay, don't brag." Bai Gensheng pouted and said: "They all grew up together, who doesn't know who, I know how capable you are." Besides, aren't you lying, can my sister be willing to let you come back? As he spoke, Bai Gensheng sighed and said, "Brother-in-law, why don't you go, the big war is coming, if you can go, I will treat you as if I didn't see you, hurry up and take care of my sister." ”

Li Mu raised his hand and patted him, and said, "I seem to be greedy for life and afraid of death, so I have to be noisy, and I will guard your door well." Remember, don't open the door if you can't see your face clearly, if the Turks came just now, the city gate would have fallen. ”

Bai Gensheng was beaten, he didn't dare to talk nonsense, he took Qingzhuang back to handle the city gate, and Li Mu rode to the yamen alone.

The yamen was brightly lit, and at this time, Li Siwen could still sleep, he was sitting alone in the courtyard drinking, drinking by himself, and he was already drunk. Li Mu didn't even notice when he entered the courtyard, and he was still pouring wine there.

"The county magistrate is so interested, are you still in the mood to drink so late?"

"You know a fart, Lao Tzu is called drunk today, who knows if I can drink it tomorrow, while I still have my life, such a good wine, I don't make it a few jars worthy of myself?" Li Siwen sighed again, and looked back at the person who disturbed his interest: "Who are you who dare to trespass...... Huh? Why do you look a bit like Li Mu? ”

Li Mu came closer, sat down in front of Li Siwen, and said, "Isn't it me!" You guy, you think you're smart, you think it's chic, don't you? ”

Li Siwen was stunned, stared at Li Mu for a long time, and suddenly grabbed Li Mu's arm, and his eyes fell down: "Brother Xian, it's really you!" I know that you are the most righteous, and you will definitely not leave me alone. To tell you the truth, when I watched you go, I felt that my life was confessed. I didn't expect you to come back, don't say anything, you are my good brother, come, I'll fill it up for you, let's kowtow to the moon, worship the ......" Li Siwen said, and was about to pour wine for Li Mu, but he had already drunk too much, his hands were trembling, and before he could pick up the wine cup, the wine jug fell to the ground and fell finely.

"It's over! A great omen! ”

Li Mu shook his head and sighed, it seems that this guy is planning to wait for death, and he doesn't even want to struggle. It's not okay to go on like this, Li Mu looked left and right, and found that there was a large tank storing water near the courtyard wall, pulled Li Siwen over, and pressed him into the tank.

"What are you doing!" Li Siwen was poured a stomach full of water, struggled to break away, and glared at Li Mu angrily: "If you want to kill someone, you can't do it!" If you want to kill someone, you go get a knife, what are you trying to torture me for! ”

"The battle hasn't been fought yet, and if you lose your sharpness first, can you still win?"

Li Siwen sat on the ground, drooped his head, and said, "How can you win?" Are you an ordinary woman and child when you think of that princess Yicheng? That's a female general who doesn't let her eyebrows! My father told me about her deeds, when Dou Jiande controlled Queen Xiao, Princess Yicheng wrote a letter to ask for it, at first Dou Jiande didn't take it seriously at all, and later released people because Princess Yicheng personally led three thousand Turkic elite soldiers to hit the door, and even broke Dou Jiande's three battalions, forcing him to pay. My father once said that if she was born a man, she would be a general! What am I, how can I match it. Besides, our city wall has not yet been completed, how can we resist it! ”

"Then it's better to surrender, maybe she will be merciful and spare your life?"

"How can this work!" Li Siwen stood up and said angrily: "Even if I die in battle, I can't surrender!" ”

"I'm not afraid of death, what are you afraid of, hurry up and cheer up, whether you win or lose, you won't know until you fight." Li Mu Zhengse said: "I have been in the Turkic camp for a long time, according to my observation, although the Turkic cavalry is brave in battle, but not good at attacking and defending the city. Although our city wall has not been completed, it is compared with the previous city wall, and the part that has been completed now is no shorter than the city wall of Mayi, and it is not a problem to resist for a while. Since the general can send you a letter to warn, there will be no no arrangement, we only need to defend the city without loss, and within two days, there will be eyebrows. ”

"Having said that, but," Li Siwen sighed, "There are no usable soldiers, which is easier said than done!" ”

"Then you have to work hard first!" Li Mu said: "Call all the people in the yamen, let them go and inform the people to come to the yamen to gather, I have something to say!" ”

Seeing Li Mu's firm attitude, Li Siwen also rose up a wave of courage, and said, "Brother Xian, you are right, how do you know who wins and who loses if you haven't fought." Whatever you want, I'll cooperate with you, come on, let's have a fight with her! ”

"That's right!" Li Mu patted Li Siwen on the shoulder and said, "I'll go and see my father-in-law first, you go and change your clothes first, I'll come when I go!" ”

After Li Mu finished speaking, the two of them acted separately. Li Siwen went to change clothes and find someone, not to mention it for the time being, Li Mu came to Bai Nao'er's house, Bai Nao'er had not yet fallen asleep, and when he saw that Li Mu was coming, he immediately cried. After hearing that the Turks were coming, Bai Hao'er was terrified. He doesn't dare to leave now, and he doesn't dare to stay. Go, afraid that he would meet the Turkic soldiers when he left the city gate, and stayed, and he was afraid that the Turkic soldiers would come in, if he was given another chance, he would say that he would not leave Mayi. No matter how much money you make, you have to have a life to spend, I knew that today, it would be better to stay in Mayi and guard that small wine shop!
