It was almost noon, Li Mu Zhang Luo prepared a banquet, but Li Shimin didn't have this time, Li Jing's army was about to triumph, there were still many things to prepare, and he took the eldest grandson Wuji to say goodbye and left, where to go Li Mu didn't dare to ask, and when he left, he also took away the rocking chair in the workshop......

"Look at what is fresh, you are not polite at all, and you will not be lifted." Li Mu muttered, took a steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth, and after a busy morning, he was already so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back.

Li Ji sat opposite him and said, "Hugh is talking nonsense, and it has wasted His Majesty's mind." ”

"Mind?" Li Mu was puzzled and asked, "What kind of mind is grounding?" ”

"Do you know how much trouble you've caused this time?" Li Jidao: "You kid, you are too impulsive, hot-blooded, and reckless. The person you whipped is the only grandson of the lord of the Boling Cui clan, Wang Zhongyuan, the commander of Chang'an County, who was born in the Taiyuan Wang clan. Cui Wensheng, who was born in the Boling Cui family, is the eldest son of the Cui lord. Isn't it a big disaster for you to offend the two big gate valves in one breath for a trivial matter? ”

Li Mu took a sip of soup and said, "Didn't Your Majesty send them, it shows that the truth is on our side." ”

"Reason?" Li Ji smiled and said, "There is no truth on which side, it only depends on what the person who decides the truth thinks." You have caught up with the opportunity this time, Your Majesty has long been dissatisfied with the gate valve, and has never been able to seize the opportunity. Coupled with Cui Yuyan, who committed the crime this time, he has a bad record. Wang Zhongyuan really made a mistake again, and he couldn't defend himself. His Majesty just pushed the boat down the river and made an example of the chickens and monkeys. Do you really have such a big face as yourself? ”

Li Mu said with a smile: "It doesn't matter whose face it is, I didn't suffer anyway." ”

Li Jidao: "Your Majesty punished you with a ten-day grounding in order to let you avoid the limelight. Don't look at you winning once, but it's a fluke. The Wang and Cui families are one of the five surnames and seven wangs, and their power in the court is intertwined. Moreover, the gate valve forces are in the same spirit, if they really anger them, they will be connected to deal with you. With your foundation, you will never be able to resist. This time, the two families suffered a loss, how could they give up? In the future, you should be more cautious and not let people take advantage of the loopholes. ”

Li Mu nodded in agreement, but said in his heart, what do you want to do, bully my wife, and care about him Tianwang Laozi, it's still the same!

Li Mu didn't want to listen to Li Ji's preaching, so he diverted the topic and said, "Father-in-law, what did Your Majesty mean by 'protecting the army' just now?" I didn't get it too clear. ”

"The Protector is a Commander, a title, a Glory. Usually only those who have made military merits can be awarded, and you are an exception, so His Majesty said that he was particularly advanced. There are a total of twelve turns of the commander, and the ninth turn of the guard, which is more than the third grade, which is consistent with your title. ”

Li Mu blinked his eyes and said, "Is it any use?" ”

"Is there any use?" Li Ji said angrily: "There is a knight and no merit, you are just a knight, there is a knight and a merit, you are a military marquis, you can raise private soldiers, you can bring guards, understand the use?" ”

"Ahh Li Mu nodded abruptly and stuffed another steamed bun into his mouth.

Li Ji looked at Li Mu's eating appearance, and said helplessly: "Your Majesty really loves you very much, although you have invented the horseshoe is meritorious, but it is not enough to be awarded to the protectors, Your Majesty is not worried that you will suffer when you have conflicts with others in the future?" At a young age, you have the grace of the emperor, and you should work harder in the future to share your majesty's worries. ”

"Well, Your Majesty's imperial grace is mighty, and the kid will repay it."

Li Mu said it well, but with his action of stuffing pickles into his mouth, he really couldn't see any credibility. Li Ji sighed and said, "I won't tell you this, you haven't gone to supervise the work these days, didn't the Emperor Taishang send someone to find you?" ”

"I found it, why didn't I find it." Li Mu ate quickly, and the two steamed buns were almost in the stomach, and then drank the soup, and said: "I sent Xiao Chen's father-in-law to come twice, and said that he wanted to come to me, so I persuaded him to stop after saying anything." There's no need to worry about the construction site, with Gongsun Kang and Yuwen Gui here, they are doing very well......"

As he was talking, a voice came: "Don't stop the old man, do you still need to report when the old man comes here?" Big man, don't remember the old man so soon? That day, the old man led the troops to save your master! ”

Hearing this voice, Li Mu and Li Ji glanced at each other, and the two sighed in unison.

Li Mu put down the soup bowl and just got up, Cheng Yanjin had already arrived at the crescent moon gate. Li Mu hurriedly saluted and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, Uncle Cheng is good." ”

Cheng Biting Jin's face was full of red light, and said, "Okay, okay, what can I do badly." This is...... Where's eating? Why didn't you order meat, what's so delicious about steamed vegetable soup, it just so happened that a cow in my manor accidentally fell off a cliff and died yesterday, and I will ask someone to send you a cow leg later! ”

Li Ji heard this and said, "How can your Cheng family's cattle always fall to death?" ”

"You're there too." Cheng Yanjin squinted his eyes slightly as if he had just seen Li Ji, and said, "Why do you always fall to death, then you have to ask the cow, how can the old man know." It just fell to death, broke bones and tendons, and I can't eat it yet! ”

"I think you killed me."

"You can't talk nonsense, what evidence do you have?"

Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel again, Li Mu hurriedly said to the mud: "Father-in-law, Uncle Cheng, don't quarrel between the two of you, sit down and eat." That one...... Xiaolan, I'm holding a pair of chopsticks. ”

"Yes." Xiaolan, who was waiting next to her, went to get a pair of chopsticks and came over, but Cheng Biting Jin didn't move. He had just eaten beef at home, and how to swallow it in the face of steamed vegetable soup.

"The old man doesn't talk nonsense, he gets straight to the point. Boy, the old man is here to ask for favors. Let's see how you pay it back! ”

"Uh......" Before Li Mu could speak, Li Ji couldn't listen anymore, and said, "Old horseman, don't you deceive people too much, do you need your help?" It was originally a small matter, but it became a big thing for you to stir up, but now Li Mu has become a thorn in the side of Wang and Cui, are you helping or harming him? ”

"Naturally, it's helping." Cheng Yanjin said casually: "Xu Maogong, I don't even know how to say hello." You are a person who can still be regarded as having a little bit of ability to fight. But this is a little too cowardly in terms of human life. What happened to the two gate valves? I am afraid that they will do something! A dignified national prince, come out with some confidence! Do you think I'm afraid? ”

"Too lazy to talk to you!"

"Can't talk about me!" Cheng Yanjin smiled proudly, looked at Li Mu again, and said, "Big nephew, have you thought about how to thank me?" ”

Li Mu has been a human being for two lives, and it is really the first time to see someone who asks for favors so straightforwardly, and he is a little worried. Give money? If there is less Cheng Biting Jin, I can't look at it, and if I have more, I can't take it myself. And Cheng Biting Jin's purpose, Li Mu can also guess eight points, he doesn't want to buy and sell with a hammer, he sees the profits of Bashang Distillery, and wants to get a piece of the pie.
