Chapter 738: Night Scheme
Li Mu pillowed his arm and said, "Although I can do this, I, as a brother-in-law, promised my brother-in-law at the beginning, and now I am stubbornly letting him come back, what's the matter?" When the time comes, my brother-in-law complains about me, but I can't say it. β
Bai Qiaoqiao saw Li Mu's aggrieved appearance, pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "When did the husband care about his brother-in-law, you just said that it should not be." β
Li Mu sighed and said, "It's not that it shouldn't, it's just-" Li Mu paused, looked at Bai Qiaoqiao's eyes, and said: "Chang'an Luoyang, it's not a stable place, but Dingxiang, although it is remote, it is safe." Even if I fall one day, Gensheng can live, but if he comes back, it will not be necessary. Isn't it contrary to the father-in-law's desire to produce peace for the sake of his roots? β
"Daddy didn't think of this, but Daddy said it. The honor and disgrace of the old Bai family depend on you. If something happens to you one day, then the old Bai family will be finished. It's better to be together as a family than to be separated. If you can get the root back, you can call him back. β
"Hmm," Li Mu thought about it, nodded and agreed. In fact, this matter is not a matter at all, and wherever Bai Gensheng is, it has no effect on him. Since both the father-in-law and his wife think so, there is no reason why he has to not let him come back. Li Mu stretched out his hand and grabbed Bai Qiaoqiao's neck, kissed it, and said, "Okay, it's time to reply to Siwen, and tell me when the time comes." β
After a pause, Li Mu remembered something again, and said, "Gensheng is back, how are you going to arrange it?" β
"Dad means to let him take over the affairs of Jingdong Ji."
Li Mu laughed and said, "My father-in-law, I really want to pass on Jingdong as an industry." Okay, let's do it, guarding a market, it's not much risk, and you can't starve him. I just don't know what Gensheng thinks in his heart, willing or unwilling. β
"Just wait for him to come back, let Dad tell him." Bai Qiaoqiao leaned over, Li Mu was worried that her stomach was nesting, so she quickly got up and held on, and said angrily: "Your body is so heavy, be careful in your movements." β
Bai Qiaoqiao leaned on Li Mu's arms, hugged his waist, and said, "There are two months at most, and this child will be born." I'm always uneasy in my heart, in case I have a girl in my life......"
"Oops, what's wrong with the girl. Isn't it my child? It's really a girl, we are so young, it's just a rebirth. β
Bai Qiaoqiao's heart was at ease for a while, and she suddenly looked up at Li Mu and said, "Husband, Sister Ou is also coming soon, is there any letter from her?" β
Li Mu knew Bai Qiaoqiao's temperament, she was just worried, not jealous, and he had nothing to carry, sighed, and said: "I received the news, she should be in Luoyang, but Luoyang City is so big, we don't have any power to rely on, if she deliberately hides, it is not easy to find." However, when this is over, when I go back, I am confident that I will be able to find her. β
"If you find Sister Ou, you can talk to her. After so many things, I feel more and more that it is the most rare thing for a family to live together. After that, Bai Qiaoqiao pouted and whispered, "I don't know if Sister Ou will have a son." β
Li Mu laughed, lightly touched the tip of Bai Qiaoqiao's nose, and said: "I was waiting here, didn't I tell you earlier, our family has a big business, even if there are ten or eight sons, I have a share of the belongings for him, it's okay." β
"The road of this life, in the end, is still walked by itself. Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, you must understand this truth. β
Bai Qiaoqiao nodded, and explained: "Husband, I don't care about this, I just want to give you a son." β
"If it is according to my heart, it is better to have a girl." Li Mu hugged Bai Qiaoqiao, looking at her with burning eyes, since Bai Qiaoqiao's pregnancy has passed for five months, afraid of touching her stomach, the two have not slept together for a long time, although they can't do anything, but between husband and wife, hugging each other and sleeping, it is a happiness, Li Mu held Bai Qiaoqiao's hand, and wanted to loosen her clothes, but Bai Qiaoqiao pulled the placket, looked at him with disgust, and said: "Daddy is still waiting outside, and there are Sister Tianai and Sister Chen, how can I always occupy you." β
"Alas," Li Mu let go of his hand, Bai Qiaoqiao pursed his lips and smiled, kissed the corner of his mouth, tidied up his clothes and went out to talk to Bai Nao'er. Li Mu turned over, and was about to squint for a while, when suddenly a cool breeze swept behind him, Li Mu stretched his waist and turned around, and saw Dugu Jiu holding a sword, leaning against the wall, wearing a mask and not seeing his face clearly, just looking at the shape, he was already handsome.
"What a pose, come and sit." Li Mu pointed to the chair in front of the table and said, "Take off the mask, take a sip of tea." β
Dugu Jiu sat down as he said, took off the mask on his face, and poured himself a cup of herbal tea. Li Mu also asked for a cup, and the brothers drank it, and then took the dried fruit and ate it.
There was dried fruit preserves on the table, which was still a habit left by Li Zhien when he was there, and now that she is away, this habit has been retained. Li Mu was holding a candied fruit in his hand, remembering what Li Zhien looked like when he ate this thing, he felt a little uncomfortable, he knew that he would not die in a big disaster, and he would not let Li Zhien go if he said anything.
But this happened by mistake, he promised to let Li Zhien go back, and the Silla mission also handled this matter through the official channels of the Tang Dynasty, if he sent someone to chase people back now, at the national level, he would not be able to explain it.
Therefore, even if Li Mu had time to chase Li Zhien back when he went to Luoyang, he didn't do that. Just let Dugu Jiu send people over, protect secretly, bring a few more pigeons, and put road markers along the way.
Dugu Jiu's heart was as careful as a hair, and when he saw Li Mu holding the candied fruit in a daze, he guessed what he was thinking, and said, "I was about to tell you that the news came back yesterday that the Silla mission had boarded the ship, and they were returning from the waterway." β
"Oh." Li Mu replied and said, "Is it too peaceful on the road?" β
"Except for encountering a gang of thieves who were sent away by the big ones, there are no surprises."
"That'll be fine." Li Mu threw the candied fruit into his mouth and chewed it, diverted the topic, and said, "How are things going?" β
"It's done, and the people on the list, except for a few who are unwilling to submit, have all joined Jinyiwei."
Li Mu looked at Dugu Jiu and asked, "What did you do with those who don't want to be obedient?" β
"Killed."
Hearing Dugu Jiu indifferently say the word 'kill', Li Mu somehow regretted it in his heart, he opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, he was worried that Dugu Jiu would become a cold-blooded and ruthless killer, but he did it all for himself, and he couldn't say anything about complaining. Dugu Jiu saw his expression and said, "Big brother, those are some damned people, if it weren't for your usefulness, I would have killed him directly when I encountered it, what's the matter, did I do something wrong?" β
"Nope." Li Mu shook his head lightly and said, "I just hope that you don't become a person who loves to kill, but those who should be killed must be eliminated when necessary." β
Dugu Jiu nodded and said, "Big brother, I understand what you said, don't worry, it won't." After a pause, Dugu Jiu asked again, "Big brother, what should I do next?" β
"Next...... Li Mu thought for a while and said, "You can go home first." β
"Home?" Dugu Jiu was stunned: "What are you going to do when you go home?" β
"How many days have you not been home, to see your parents." Li Mu spread his hands and said: "In the future, we will be in Luoyang City, although the two places are not very far, but after all, it is not so convenient, and it is time to tell your father and mother, so as not to think that I abducted you." β
"My dad knows what I'm capable of, but he doesn't have toβ"
"Don't grind, let you go, you will go. Go home for two or three days, straighten out these newcomers, and rush back to Luoyang. It's almost time to calculate, I'll wait here for His Majesty's coronation to be over and then come back, you can be considered a front stop. When I go back, if there are still people who are not convinced, we will kill them, and we will never clean them up, and we will really think that we are a thing. β
"Hmm." Dugu Jiu nodded, his figure floated, and he was about to go out of the window, Li Mu reached out and grabbed him, pointed to the door, and said, "Go from the door." β
Dugu Jiu didn't move, but looked at Li Mu in shock. Li Mu saw him looking at himself and said strangely, "What's wrong?" What to see? β
"Big brother, how did you catch me?" Dugu Jiu looked at Li Mu holding his hand, and couldn't understand that he was quite confident in his own body. I haven't faced off against a light master before, and I don't have a clear understanding yet. But after comparing with Gao Gonggong and Wei Fu, he already knew that his light body exercises could also be ranked among the top in the rivers and lakes, not to mention the top five, but also the top ten.
But when the figure moved just now, Li Mu grabbed his wrist at once. How is this possible? He knew that Li Mu, although he had practiced unknown internal skills, he didn't understand the body method.
How did he know that Li Mu had practiced the light skill of 'watching the fire from the other side' on the Holy Fire Order, although he later abolished it, but after all, he had practiced, and the muscle memory of the body was there. This matter is a long story, Li Mu didn't bother to explain it from beginning to end, let go of Dugu Jiu's hand, and said, "It's just a coincidence, I have two times, you still don't know?" β
"Really?" Dugu Jiuhu glanced at Li Mu suspiciously, but he didn't take it seriously, if Li Mu could really know a little kung fu, he would be happier, at least when he encountered danger, he could run for his life first.
"If the eldest brother is interested in the body method, I can teach you another day when I am free."
"Then forget it, I can't learn your set." Li Mu waved his hand and fell on the bed again, Dugu Jiu saw him like this, shrugged his shoulders, and did not force it, but left through the window.
Why didn't Li Mu want to learn Dugu Jiu's set, it wasn't that Dugu Jiu's body was bad, but that he really couldn't learn. Dugu Jiu is the most bizarre one among the masters Li Mu has ever seen. He didn't practice internal skills, and he didn't learn the body method from anyone. His skill against the enemy is nothing more than a quick sword. The body method is not so much a kind of exercise as it is a stress response, or a conditioned reflex.
This is all practiced by fighting against people since childhood, there is no routine at all, Li Mu doesn't want to accidentally poke out two holes in the eyes if he can't learn it.
β¦β¦
Honglu Temple.
In the middle of the night, most of the missions in the Honglu Temple had already stopped. But in the middle of the night, there were still some people who did not sleep and sneaked to the wall. One man bent down on the ground, and the other stepped on his back, climbed to the top of the wall, rode the head of the wall and looked down, before carefully jumping out.
This guy who jumped over the wall is the Goguryeo Mission's Goguryeo prince, Gaobin Li Mu, why doesn't he want to learn Dugu Jiu's set, it's not that Dugu Jiu's body is not good, but that he really can't learn.
