Chapter 460: Family Matters
Jin Chen's entry into Chang'an this time was due to the Western Turks' strong soldiers and horses, and the Camel Valley was on the only way for the Western Turks to go eastward. Once the army marches eastward, the camel valley will be like a mantis arm as a chariot, and it will be destroyed.
For the Yin, history has proven that with their force, they cannot fight against the barbarians. Therefore, the only way to do this is to move the people to a safe place before the disaster comes, just like the predecessors.
However, now is not the Warring States period, there were many barren places at that time, there were places to migrate, where is there still a borderless land now? If you can't stop hiding in the desert, is there still a place to go?
Heaven and earth are great, but there is no place for them. I had no choice but to choose a force and take refuge. However, due to the unique matriarchal social structure of the Yin people, they were intolerable to all forces and were unable to act for a long time. At this time, a prince of Gaochang Kingdom, who was also Ju Zhisheng's younger brother, learned some things about the Yin people through the merchants who traveled to and from the desert, and contacted the Yin people through this trader.
The two sides agreed that if the Yin clan could send a killer to help him get rid of his eldest brother Ju Zhisheng, they would give the Yin clan a piece of territory in Gaochang and let the Yin clan attach themselves to Gaochang. It doesn't solve the underlying problem, but it's better than waiting to die in the desert. After discussing with the hermit, they agreed to the matter.
What he didn't expect was that when Jin Chen and the killer had not caught up with the Gaochang mission, Gaochang was raided by Usman, and the prince who joined forces with the Yin clan also died tragically under the military disaster. When Jin Chen heard the news, he was unwilling to return to the desert, so he settled in Dingxiang.
In Dingxiang, she learned a lot of news about Datang, including all kinds of miracles about Li Mu.
Li Mu is in Dingxiang, which is a legend. Many of the homeless people who used to guard Dingxiang City with Li Mu have now become the backbone of Dingxiang City, and the Li Mu they talked about in their mouths is no different from the gods except that they can't control the clouds and fog.
After listening to it a lot, Jin Chen thought that instead of taking refuge in Gao Changguo, it was better to take refuge in Datang. And this magical deer chaser is one of the best introducers.
So Jin Chen and Yinyue set off for Chang'an, and met the Gaochang delegation on the way back. In order to fulfill the agreement between the Yin clan and the deceased prince Gaochang, Yinyue went to assassinate Ju Zhisheng late at night. was stopped by Jin Chen, and because of this incident, the two got acquainted with Ju Zhisheng.
Faced with this matter, Ju Zhisheng appeared very calm. Because for him, assassinations from his brothers, he has long been used to them. And at this time, the brother who assassinated him was already dead, and he didn't care even more.
Knowing that Jin Chen wanted to go to Chang'an to find Li Mu, Ju Zhisheng was very enthusiastic. He took the initiative to introduce a lot of things about Li Mu and revealed to Jin Chen that Li Mu's biggest weakness is "lustful".
This is the truth he summed up through the things of Li Mu and Zhang Tianai. Li Muming knew that Zhang Tianai was the daughter of a horse bandit and her motives were not pure, but he still chose to be with her, what else could he be if he wasn't "lustful"?
Jin Chen's appearance is not weaker than Zhang Tianai. Therefore, Ju Zhisheng concluded that if Jin Chen intended to seduce Li Mu, Li Mu would definitely not be able to control it. If Jin Chen listens to the news for him and blows the wind on the pillow, his cooperation with Li Mu in the future will also get twice the result with half the effort.
So, Ju Zhisheng negotiated with Jin Chen openly and honestly. He was willing to offer the same conditions as his dead brother, that is, to allocate a piece of territory in Gaochang to the Yin clan and let them move out of the desert in exchange for Jin Chen to deliver news to him by Li Mu's side. And he will also provide Jin Chen with an identity, so that she can better get close to Li Mu's side. This identity is the dancing girl he gave to Li Mu, Jin Chen and Yinyue, replacing the dancing girl and rakuka who were originally intended to be given to Li Mu.
For Ju Zhisheng, this is good for him. Although the combat effectiveness of the Hidden Clan is not good, it is still qualified to be cannon fodder. He placed the hermit on the west side of Gaochang, and if the Western Turks attacked, the hermit could resist for a while, serving as a barrier and early warning. His heart cannot be said to be vicious.
Jin Chen didn't expect this, but she couldn't help but agree, because the Western Turks could advance eastward at any time. A day in the desert is dangerous. Although dying early and dying late is death, who wants to die early if they can die late?
The cooperation was reached, and Jin Chen and Yinyue came to Chang'an in this way.
Although they are in the hermit clan, their status is honorable. But in fact, they are also otaku girls who have never been out. Everything in Chang'an City is new to them. And because of listening to Ju Zhisheng's subjective judgment of Li Mu, he thought that Li Mu was a lustful person, and mistakenly thought that it was easy to approach Li Mu. But after actually approaching, they found that things were not so easy, Li Mu was too complicated, they couldn't figure it out at all, and they didn't know where to start.
wanted to talk to Li Mu about the Yin Clan, but he couldn't find a chance. Even if she had the opportunity to say it, she wasn't sure if Li Mu would help with this. For the future, it's all about worrying.
Thinking that the clansmen who might be wiped out under the iron hooves of the Western Turks at any time, how could Jin Chen and Yinyue still be able to sleep. chatted and chatted without words, so I kept my eyes open in a daze until dawn.
……
Li Mu and Dugu Jiu got up early in the morning, and before the girls woke up, the two of them quietly slipped away. When they came out of Lichun Courtyard, it was the time when Pingkang Fang was quiet, and after a night of fun, it was time to rest. The whole morning that followed, it was quiet at Pingkangfang. It was after noon that the guests from the previous day left. Pack up and welcome a new group of guests today.
At this time, Chang'an City is beginning to wake up.
Li Mu and Dugu Jiu wandered to the West Market and ate a soup cake. Then he hired an ox cart, and Li Mu lay on it and fell asleep, and when he woke up, he had already arrived home.
This is how the day begins.
After the small year, every day is counted in the range of "year". During the Tang Dynasty, although there were no New Year's greetings in Li Mu's previous life, large families were very popular to "wear red and hang colors", that is, to make some colorful silk and decorate both sides of the gate, in fact, to put it bluntly, it was a kind of behavior to show off wealth.
Wang Ou opened a silk and satin shop, and there were silk of any color. Before Li Zhien could speak, she had already been delivered. This made Li Zhien a little embarrassed, recently with her marriage date with Li Mu set, coupled with Wang Ou's courteous treatment, her hostility towards Wang Ou is not as great as before.
But if it is said that it is impossible to achieve such harmony with Bai Qiaoqiao. Because in Li Zhien's heart, Wang Ou will never be able to escape the label of "old cows eat tender grass". And she is the second aunt who is in the first door, Wang Ou is behind her, as a "sister", how can she "keep her voice down"?
This is what children think, but for Wang Ou, it is completely different. The age difference between the two is more than doubled, for Wang Ou, if she had married the Cui family normally, and the children were all Li Zhien's age, how could they be as knowledgeable as her.
Her transformation is completely like coaxing a child. In order not to embarrass Li Mu, the song is welcome, and the effect is remarkable. But if you say how low she is, she doesn't. The proportions are just right, so that people can't find faults.
Li Mu has a clear and confused attitude towards these things. In the matter of the back house, who is he favored? It also helps Qiaoqiao, and others can't say anything. But Qiaoqiao is still the one who worries him the most, and he doesn't need to help him at all. And everyone else, all of them have the same identity, and he can't be biased at all.
It's better to be confused, anyway, with him, at most it's just a few complaints, and you can't fight.
Li Zhien is busy with family affairs, and when the Chinese New Year is approaching, he has to go to see if his mother Sun has anything missing, and Bai Qiaoqiao, who is a daughter-in-law, is naturally responsible for this.
When Li Mu arrived home, Bai Qiaoqiao went out. said that the last time he met Sun, Sun muttered a sentence about the jujube cake in Dongshi, Bai Qiaoqiao remembered it in his heart, and wanted to buy it and send it over.
If you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for? It's just too worry-free, Li Mu was completely idle and had nothing to do, so he slipped to the opposite door and stayed with Wang Ou and Fat Da for a while. When Bai Qiaoqiao came back, he sneaked back to eat.
"I asked Siwen about Gensheng. They also returned, but a few days later. They came back with the surplus of Dingxiang City for half a year, and planned to buy some things in Chang'an City to go back. Gensheng is now in the right team, the military order is like a mountain, the order is forbidden, and it is not easy to be casual. ”
"Team up?" Bai Qiaoqiao didn't understand the affairs of the army, and asked: "Husband, how big an official is this team, Gensheng is just a child, how can he take on the heavy responsibility, but don't be the little uncle to take special care of it, right?" ”
"Team Zheng," Li Mu thought for a while and said, "It's an official, it's not an official." In the army, ten people are counted as a group, and there is a group leader. Five groups are counted as one team, and there are two main and deputy teams. Gensheng is now in charge of the team, with fifty soldiers under his hands. is considered an official, but he has no grade, and he is still a big soldier. ”
"Do you want to take care of it...... Gensheng is my brother-in-law, Siwen is my brother-in-law, even if you tell him not to take care of him, he will still take care of it. But he should also know what I mean, he didn't take care of it too much, most likely he didn't let Gensheng go to dangerous places, and he wouldn't be particularly promoted, so Gensheng's position as a team leader should have been earned by himself. ”
When Bai Qiaoqiao heard this, she was quite relieved and said, "My younger brother has been honest since he was a child, and now he can be regarded as promising." If my father had known, he would have been very pleased. ”
Li Mu remembered the past with Bai Hao'er, and couldn't help laughing, and said, "Yes, it's not easy for your father." Later, I will pay 1,000 yuan from the account and send it to my father-in-law, so that he can buy New Year's goods. ”
"Not so much." Bai Qiaoqiao hurriedly said: "Father doesn't lack anything, and it's useless to give him money." Besides, the meaning is that it is, ten times the money is good, and it doesn't take a thousand times. ”
Although Bai Qiaoqiao cares about her family, she will never dump the money of the "Li family" to the "Bai family", which is also one of the reasons why Li Mu feels sorry for Bai Qiaoqiao, she is too sensible.
