Li Mu looked for Li Siwen everywhere, but couldn't find it anywhere, and finally got a craftsman's reminder to find Li Siwen who was climbing high and looking far away on the broken wall of the city wall. Li Mu screamed twice but did not respond, so he had to climb up the ladder, and when he saw that Li Siwen was in a daze, he also followed Li Siwen's example, squatting in the wall and being a contemplative, waiting for him to come back to his senses.

"Li Mu," Li Siwen raised his hand and pointed to the east, and said, "Do you see that road, follow this road all the way to the east, and you can reach Chang'an." He glanced at Li Mu and asked, "Do you want to go to Chang'an?" ”

"Yes!" Li Mu said without hesitation.

"I don't want to!" Li Siwen's tone was even more categorical than Li Mu's, he patted the battlements of the city wall, and said: "Although the wall of Chang'an City is five times higher than here, but I stand here, but I don't envy it at all, do you know why?" ”

Li Mu shook his head.

Li Siwen smiled and said, "The reason is very simple, no matter how majestic Chang'an City is, it has nothing to do with me. There are countless ministers and good generals, and there are His Majesty who is wise and martial. Nothing there is for me to participate in. And here, you look at the following people, they are building the city wall because of my order, and I am the county commander here, guarding the Tang Frontier. And in Chang'an City, I was just a gentleman. I don't need anything, I can't do anything, I can't even fight anyone else! ”

Li Siwen gritted his teeth and said, "There, there is no point in my life." But here, I'm doing something useful every day. I can feel that someone needs me, and that's what I'm alive for! He stared at Li Mu with burning eyes and said, "Brother Xian, can you understand my mind?" ”

Li Mu nodded, seeing that Li Siwen was so excited, and was just about to say a word of comfort, Li Siwen suddenly grabbed his shoulder and shouted excitedly: "Do you really understand me?!" ”

"Huh?" Li Mu was stunned for a moment and muttered, "It should be ...... Got it! ”

"Great!" Li Siwen laughed, patted Li Mu on the shoulder, and said, "Since you understand my mind, you must be willing to help me?" ”

"Uh......" Li Mu noticed that something was wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong.

"I knew you were my good brother!" Li Siwen hugged Li Mu and said, "Actually, there are two official documents that came today, the first one you saw just now, and the other one is Your Majesty's will to summon you to Chang'an after hearing about your deeds from Lord Tang Jian." I had guessed that you would stay and help me, so I didn't show it to you, I had just written an excerpt for you, and sent someone back to Chang'an in an eight-hundred-mile hurry, begging Your Majesty to stay in Dingxiang, good brother, you won't blame me! ”

"Huh?!" Li Mu shook his head, looked at Li Siwen blankly, and said, "Lord Tang Jian is still safe?" ”

"Hmm!"

"He told His Majesty about my deeds?"

"Hmm!"

"Your Majesty wants to summon me to Chang'an?"

"That's right!"

"You refused for me?!"

Li Siwen laughed humbly: "Refusal, it's refusal!" Good brother, isn't this also your heart? ”

"Who is your good brother! I'll strangle you! "The 'sensible' thread in Li Mu's head was broken suddenly! It doesn't matter whose son Li Siwen is, he pounced forward, pressed him to the ground, pinched his neck and didn't let go! Li Siwen struggled and shouted, "Good brother, don't be so excited!" If you want to go to Chang'an, when I go back to report on my work, I will definitely take you there, okay?! ”

"You're lying to me again! You are the county commander, I am the county officer, you go back to report on your work, I will replace your class, how to go! ”

"Then you will report for me! Don't pinch! I'm out of breath! ”

The two scuffled for a while, and it was not until Li Mu was exhausted that he let go of Li Siwen. Li Siwen immediately hid far away, looked at Li Mu in a daze, and was embarrassed to speak.

Li Mu glared at Li Siwen and said, "Why are you doing this, I asked myself if I didn't hurt you, how did you hurt me?" ”

Li Siwen grinned, rubbed his hands and said, "Isn't there nothing I can do, what can I do without you?" I can't do anything, and I can't either! If you go to Chang'an, I won't be able to do this county order! ”

"You can find your father and ask him to help you find a few people to come over, I don't believe that the General's Mansion doesn't even have a strategist who can be a county leader!"

"Isn't that relying on my father again! I don't want to rely on my dad! I want to be on my own! ”

"You!" Li Mu wants to say that if you don't rely on your father, you rely on me, and I am not your father! But when the words came to his lips, he didn't say them. Anyway, Li Siwen helped him a lot, and he couldn't say such heart-wrenching words. After holding it for a while, Li Mu slapped down the wall buttress heavily and sighed.

Li Siwen moved over and said: "Brother Xian, don't be angry with me, otherwise, you stay and teach me for a while, and when I get over, I will write a letter to my father and let you go to the General's Mansion to listen to it, if you don't want to join the army, I will beg my father to help you dredge up the relationship and find a way." If you want to do business in Chang'an, I will give you all my land, and if you sell those lands, you can definitely buy a good shop, do you think it's okay? ”

"I can't say it now, can you ask someone to chase the fold back?"

Li Siwen shook his head like a rattle, and said: "Then you will definitely not be able to chase it back, eight hundred miles of expedited, this has been gone for a long time, even if you send another eight hundred miles to expedite it, it will definitely not be able to catch up, and we don't have a horse of 1,600 miles." ”

"That's a piece of!" Li Mu roared, which made Li Siwen's ears buzz. Li Mu didn't care about him, came down from the city wall, and moved the ladder away. Li Siwen shouted from above, Li Mu also turned a deaf ear, didn't ride the horse, and carried the ladder home without looking back.

Back home, Li Mu lay down on the kang, still angry. It's not that he can't understand Li Siwen's thoughts, if he talks about it and discusses it, Li Muwei may not agree. Li Muqi was in Li Siwen's first slash and then played, and then he looked at the opportunity to Chang'an and missed, and he was unwilling.

However, he is a person who can accept reality, and after calming down, Li Mu found that the loss was actually not much. At this time, the time is not yet ripe to go to Chang'an. First of all, his skill level is not high enough, the things he can make now are all primary items, Chang'an is the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and all the exquisite utensils in this era are gathered there, if he can't come up with some eye-catching things, he can't stand up to do business in Chang'an. Even if Li Shimin summons him, I am afraid that the merit of reporting the news will not reach the level of sealing his wife and son, at most, it is just a reward for a petty official, and he will not have to worry about food and clothing. Li Mu went to Chang'an, not to worry about food and clothing!

"Alas! Sure enough, there are no shortcuts! You have to take it one step at a time! Mu Li sighed, and suddenly heard someone open the door, and looked over and found that it was Bai Qiaoqiao. Bai Qiaoqiao walked over and said, "Lang Jun, I see that you don't go back home with the head of the ladder, I'm worried that something will happen, so I'll come back and see, what's wrong?" ”

Li Mu stretched out his hand to hug Bai Qiaoqiao's waist, buried his head in her arms and arched, and sighed: "You Langjun and I have been hit by a huge blow, don't say anything, hug me quickly, I need comfort." ”

Bai Qiaoqiao's face turned red, and she bit her lip and whispered, "...... in broad daylight"

"Hug, I'm going to hug!" There was no one at home, and Li Mu was not worried about being seen, so he showed the coquettish Dafa. Bai Qiaoqiao was most afraid of his fleshy words, and in order to stop him, he quickly hugged him in his arms.
