Li Mu really didn't know about it, Li Siwen wrote a letter, and the length of the article that was never nonsense accounted for two-thirds, and the length of the business was less than one-third, most of the time, it was to report the good news and not the bad news, and only when he was really embarrassed, he would ask for help.

I didn't expect this kid to come up with such a good way, in his previous life, isn't this just 'escort'?

Sure enough, he is my little brother Li Mu, and this smart energy really has a trace of my style.

Li Mumei thought soberly, silently.

Usman didn't notice it, and continued: "Each time, only one team of people was dispatched to the Dingxiang Chong Mansion, but only fifty people. In terms of strength, it is not worth mentioning. Even the entire Dingxiang Zhichong Mansion, we don't pay attention to it. After all, they are all recruited new troops, and they are not skilled in bows and horses, and if we really fight, although we only have 2,000 people, we may not be able to lose. ”

"But, who dares to move!" Usman sighed and said: "The Tang Dynasty has won a new victory over the Turks, and the soldiers are invincible. At this time, if the horse bandits moved the Tang Army and provoked retaliation, who could bear it? ”

"I had no choice but to go west. To the west, the closest is Gaochang. Gaochang is a small country with few people, but it is very wealthy. The Tiansha Alliance is a rare force for Gao Chang, and we can also rely on Gao Chang to eat a mouthful. ”

After a pause, Usman seemed to have made up his mind, and said, "I have another idea when I take refuge in Gaochang. At this time, since he was determined to take refuge in Hou Ye, he did not hide it. I am a Turkic with the golden blood of Datou Khan on my ancestors, and I am related to the Western Turks. After the fall of the Eastern Turks, many tribes crossed the desert and took refuge in the Western Turks. I expected that sooner or later the Western Turks would go eastward, so I thought that if I could stay in Gaochang and secretly communicate with the Western Turks, when the Western Turks advanced eastward, I would lead my brothers to do internal response and help the Western Turks occupy Gaochang. ”

After saying this, Wu Siman hurriedly said: "Master Hou, I will say my mind without concealment, and please don't doubt Lord Hou." ”

Li Mu bowed slightly, noncommittal, and motioned for Usman to continue.

Usman continued: "Ju Wentai, the lord of Gaochang, had several sons, but the eldest son, Ju Zhisheng, looked the most like him and won his affection. I had a relationship with Ju Zhisheng, so I found him with a gift and took refuge under his door. ”

"Ju Wentai is arrogant. In the Gaochang Kingdom, the Central Plains system was emulated. He named Ju Zhisheng the crown prince, and my brothers and I are similar to the six rates of the Tang East Palace, which is exclusive to Ju Zhisheng's personal soldiers. ”

Li Mu nodded and said, "It's okay, there is no big difference from what I have learned." This first level is considered to have passed. ”

Usman broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this, and secretly said that he was lucky that he didn't hide it, otherwise at this time, the big man next to him was afraid that he would have slapped himself to death.

Li Mu glanced at him and said, "Since you have decided to take refuge in me, the matter of the Western Turks will naturally be abandoned." Gaochang, you can't go back, what do you want now, say it and listen to it. ”

Usman was silent for a while, and said, "Master Hou, if you ask me what I want...... Truth be told, I want stability. When I was young, I felt happy when I licked the blood with a knife, but at my current age, I can only regret it when I look back. If I didn't let go of my brothers, I really wanted to ask Hou Ye for a little money, buy a few acres of land, and be a comfortable rich man. ”

Li Mu smiled and said, "This is something that doesn't matter, so you don't have to say it." I ask you, what do you want now? ”

Wu Siman gritted his teeth and said, "Master Hou, I am one with the brothers of the Tiansha Alliance. We are different from Camel Valley and Zhangjiazhai, we come and go like the wind, we have no family background, and we have not saved any money. Now, I just ask the Hou Ye to give me food, if the Hou Ye has mercy and can give the brothers a future, it will be better. ”

"Right!" Li Mu didn't have any bargaining, and readily agreed, saying, "I can give you the money, and I can also give you the grain." Future, if what you do satisfies me, I can still give it to you. I can meet all your requirements, and it's not a problem. Now I'm asking you in turn, how do you make me trust you! ”

"My subordinates swear!"

Li Mu laughed and said, "Swear that it is useful, everyone in the world will die." I don't believe in that, I only believe in the results that can be seen. You will leave for Gaochang later, take your brother, and kill all the other sons of Ju Wentai while the Ju father and son are absent and Gaochang is empty, and when I receive the news, it is the time to begin to trust you. ”

"This ......" Wu Siman was startled, he didn't expect that the Hou Ye in front of him, who still looked a little childish, would be so ruthless. But he didn't understand why Li Mu did this. Regarding the affair between the eldest lady of Zhangjiazhai and this marquis, Chang'an City has been rumored. It stands to reason that he has no reason to help Ju Zhisheng, but by doing so, he is tantamount to helping Ju Zhisheng eliminate potential competitors.

Ju Wentai is already old, and it is impossible to have any more children. He killed all the rest of his sons, and only Ju Zhisheng was left as the heir, and his position was as stable as Mount Tai.

Li Mu saw Usman's doubts and explained: "You don't have to guess, I just want Ju Zhisheng to inherit the position of the lord of Gaochang." He's a straw bale, and in my opinion, any change of person is better than him. Gaochang, sooner or later, it will be included in my Datang territory, and a smart lord is not good for my Datang. Do you understand? ”

Usman hurriedly said: "The subordinates know their mistakes, please rest assured, the subordinates will definitely get this matter done." It's just ......" Wu Siman looked at Li Mu cautiously and said, "Master Hou, if you sit down in this matter, Longyou is afraid that the Heavenless Alliance will have a foothold." Although Gaochang is a small country and a small number of people, it is very rich, if that Ju Wentai goes crazy and is willing to take revenge with money and food, I am afraid that there will be a remnant of the Turkic army defeated and will take risks, and one or two groups can still deal with it, but——"

Usman's meaning, Li Mu understood, he waved his hand, and said, "I won't pit you, when you finish your work, you can go straight to Dingxiang." ”

"This ......" Wu Siman broke out in a cold sweat, thinking to himself, isn't this for us to die?

"The man from Dingxiang County is my brother-in-law."

"Huh?!" Usman exclaimed in surprise, thinking of the words that had slandered Li Siwen just now, and cold sweat broke out even more.

"Don't be nervous." Li Mu said with a smile: "In the past, it was an opponent, so naturally it was everything, and in the future, it was a friend, of course, it was different." ”

What else could Usman say, he said, "Everything is up to the Hou Ye." ”

"In the future, your Tiansha Alliance will be raised by Benhou. All the things that are applied, not limited to blades, armor, supplies, etc., are solved by Benhou. There are two things you need to do, first, listen to the movements of the countries in the Western Regions, especially the Western Turks, and send them to Dingxiang City as soon as there is news. Second, keep doing your old job. It's just that from now on, you are only allowed to rob the people I let you rob. If you have robbed something, it will still be yours. ”

"In today's situation, if it is not easy to sell the stolen goods, you can send the looted things to Zhangjiazhai, and the caravan from Zhangjiazhai will bring them to Chang'an, and I will help you solve them, exchange them for money and food, and bring them back to you. It can also help you keep a part of the property in the long-term settlement, and maybe one day, you can really be a comfortable and rich man. Even if you don't have this life in your life, it won't be in vain to save it, and when you have a descendant, you can still leave it to him. ”

When Usman heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground, his eyes were red, and said: "Master Hou is thoughtful, Usman dares not to die!" From today onwards, the lives of Usman and the brothers of the Tiansha Alliance will be Hou Ye's! ”

"I will trust you when I do it, and now I will say that these are all afterwords. I've made it clear what I can give you, and it's up to you to see what you're capable of. The supplies given to you will also be delivered in the form of caravans, and you will have to take them with you. All in all, you must control it well, and when you contact Dingxiang, you must keep it confidential, and you must not reveal the relationship between you and me, and between you and Dingxiangcheng. ”

"Plus, you're dead. When you go back, you'll have to change your identity. I don't care what identity you change to, if you expose the stuffing, you don't need to do it with the Ju father and son, I will kill you, understand? ”

The back of Usman's neck was cold, and he hurriedly said: "The subordinates understand that when they return to Gaochang, their subordinates will avenge their brother in the name of 'Usman's brother'." These things have been done before, Hou Ye can rest assured that there will be no mistakes. ”

"It's better to say it than to do it." Li Mu stretched out his hand, Li Chongyi untied the purse and put it in Li Mu's palm, Li Mu threw the purse to Usman, and said, "There is some money here, there is a fast horse outside the door, without further ado, let's go now." On my brother's side, I will repair a letter to explain the situation. He won't embarrass you anymore, when you deal with Gaochang's affairs and go to see him secretly, I will say something in the letter, and he will explain it to you. ”

Usman took the money bag, glanced at it, it was all yellow and white, and secretly said in his heart, people say that they don't skimp on money, and that's true. In this purse, the gold and silver add up, no less than a thousand times, and you can reward it casually, it is really an atmospheric person, I don't know how many times stronger than Ju Zhisheng. I vaguely feel in my heart that it may not be a good thing to change a backer.

didn't grind at the moment, kowtowed to Li Mu, got up and walked out.

Li Mu also got up and tossed for a long time, he was also hungry and wanted to eat something. Before he walked out of the lobby, the porter Zhao Youcai ran over: "Master Hou stays, Wei Zheng is here!" ”

"Huh?" Li Mu was stunned for a moment, why did Wei Zheng come here? Then he remembered that he had asked Wei Zheng for a bribe a few days ago. I haven't heard from this for a few days, and I came here suddenly, could it be that there is a result?

Thinking like this, Li Mu sat down again, and he was also very curious whether Wei Zheng would agree to his request. What he was even more curious about was that the Shandong Shi clan was willing to swallow this breath and put together the money for the sake of road construction.

"Please come in."
