Li Mu took the money from Fengqiuhuang and called Bai Gensheng by the way, it happened that Wang Hu was also there, and they were all called together, Li Siwen did not notify him, Li Siwen will go back to Dingxiang tomorrow, and he is newly married, there must be a lot of things at home. If he goes, Li Siwen will definitely take advantage of the opportunity to run away, but he still can't give him this opportunity.

On the way, Li Mu chatted with Wang Hu and Bai Gensheng, and learned that Wang Hu had decided to move his family to Dingxiang together. After the Turks were wiped out, the border troubles in the northwest of the Tang Dynasty were temporarily cut off, and there was basically no major event before the Western Turks attacked. In the small countries of the Western Regions, no one dares to offend the power of the Tang Dynasty, and occasionally there is a little problem, that is, a horse thief, or a nobleman from a small country in the Western Regions who pretends to be a thief, do some black and black business, and change places with one shot, so there is no need to worry.

Dingxiang City, as the location of Zhichong Mansion, should be considered very safe. Wang Hu is now the Guoyi Lieutenant of Dingxiang Zhichong Mansion, and he is bound to be stationed in Dingxiang and can't take care of his family in Chang'an. In the past, Li Ji was in Chang'an, he could rest assured, but now that Li Ji has gone to Bingzhou, there is only the son Li Zhen in the huge British Mansion, Li Zhen has a cold temperament, his mind is only on reading, and he cares little about his family, not to mention the family members of the guards in the house. After Wang Hu returned home, he heard his family complaining, and he couldn't say anything to Li Zhen, so he made a decision to take his family to Dingxiang together.

Li Mu listened to Wang Hu's babbling words, comforted him a few words, and didn't say anything. Li Zhen, he doesn't like this person very much, but people are just not enthusiastic, and people have never been bad in their dealings, and you can't chew the root of people's tongues behind your back because people are not enthusiastic about you.

Bai Gensheng is not interested in this kind of topic at all. He got used to it, and he couldn't wait to put on his wings and fly back. He is different from Wang Hu, at his current age, he has not yet reached the point where he will think about his family in his head, and he only thinks about making meritorious contributions to make a career so that he can get ahead and be admired. And Chang'an City has Bai Qiaoqiao and Li Mu's brother-in-law, so he has nothing to worry about.

When he returned to Chang'an, his mother-in-law, Wang Po, had to chant dozens of times a day, asking him to marry his own son and continue the incense. Especially after learning that Bai Qiaoqiao was pregnant, she intensified her endless chatter. Bai Gensheng was tired of hearing it for a long time, and said to Li Mu angrily that when he returned to Dingxiang, he would buy a blue-eyed Guishan woman, give birth to seven or eight blue-eyed sons and send them back to Chang'an, so that his mother would be startled.

Jingdong set is not far from heaven and earth, and it is all in Dongcheng. About two quarters of an hour they arrived at the gate of heaven and earth. Xiao Chen's father-in-law was waiting at the door early, he is now in good spirits on happy occasions, Li Mu said hello, Gao Gonggong also sold face, basically Xiao Chen's father-in-law went to the West Factory to do the factory father's matter has been decided, just wait for the team of the Internal Affairs Office to be set up, Li Mu poured out of the vacancy, he can take office, no longer have to stay in heaven and earth, by Li Yourong's call.

"Master Hou, our family has already arranged it for you. The people of the Chengguan Brigade are all on the left hand side of the first floor, and the people of the Jinyi Guard are on the right hand side of the first floor, and the two sides are not next to each other. ”

"Okay, thanks."

Xiao Chen's father-in-law hurriedly said: "How dare you be a thank you word to Hou Ye, our future is given by Hou Ye, and we should be filial to Hou Ye." ”

"That's not right." Li Mu waved his hand and said, "Father-in-law Xiao Chen, you must remember that you are under the supervision of internal affairs. Father-in-law Gao, your godfather, is your immediate boss. You must keep it in mind, otherwise in a few days, if there is a godson who is more pleasing to Gao Gonggong, your position will not be guaranteed—don't blame me for not reminding you, after all, I am not in charge of the internal affairs superintendent. ”

"What Master Hou taught is that our family remembers." Xiao Chen's father-in-law said with a smile: "Our family just wants to tell Hou Ye that I owe you a favor, and I have always been in my heart, when I can use it, Hou Ye must not be polite." ”

"Don't worry, I've never known what politeness is."

Stepping into the door, Wang Hu and Bai Gensheng went to find Cheng Cheng and were silent. Li Mu glanced at the second floor and asked, "What is the Emperor Taishang doing?" Is it convenient for me to come and say goodbye? ”

"Oh, that's not a coincidence. The Emperor Taishang has had lunch and is taking a nap, and the Hou Ye can wait for a while before going over. ”

"Okay." Li Mu asked again and said, "What about Li Yourong?" ”

"No, after the Emperor Taishang fell asleep, she went out, saying that she was going to the West Market, and our family didn't dare to ask." As he spoke, Xiao Chen's father-in-law leaned into Li Mu's ear and whispered, "Mrs. Peony is upstairs, isn't the Hou Ye going to see you?" ”

The matter of Li Mu and Wang Ou, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Xiao Chen's father-in-law is dedicated to serving people, can this look still be there? I have seen it a long time ago, but everyone is pretending to be confused and tacitly.

There are many people today, how can they meet alone, Li Mu said with a tense face: "Don't bother Mrs. Peony, Xiao Chen's father-in-law can tell me for me, just say that there is something to do today, and I will meet Mrs. Peony again in the future, and send me a pot of high-quality tea to the past, which will be counted in my account." ”

"We get it." Xiao Chen's father-in-law handed Li Mu a meaningful smile, Li Mu glared, and Xiao Chen's father-in-law hurriedly sued him and prepared tea.

Li Mu came to the lobby on the first floor, and the banquets on the left and right sides were being served one after another. They are all good wines and dishes, and the most expensive seats. These bastards, they are generous to them, and they are really welcome. Li Mu just glanced at it cursoryly, and knew in his heart that such a table of banquets, to say the least, would cost seven or eight yuan, which is not counting the wine, if the wine is counted, ten times will definitely not be able to stop it.

Seeing Li Mu coming, both sides got up to toast. Li Mu called Li Siwen over, whispered a few words, picked up a wine glass and drank it, and said to the Jinyi guard on the right: "Brothers, there are more things to tell you, I will go to the city management brigade first, talk about it briefly, and come over to talk to you in detail in a while." ”

How dare the rangers say a word, they all drank all the wine in their cups and sat down honestly.

Li Mu came to the left-hand side, Fang Yiai quickly stood up, gave up his seat to Li Mu, and then grabbed a chair behind him. Li Mu looked back at the unlucky guy who was robbed of the chair, and almost didn't laugh out loud. This person is Li Chengqian, this kid doesn't know what he smeared on his face, his originally fair face suddenly became dark, like a person who came over from Zhenla, no wonder Li Mu didn't recognize it just now.

When Li Chengqian saw Li Mu coming over, he hurriedly glanced at him, his eyes were full of sorrow, and begged Li Mu not to pierce him. Because according to the agreement, if his identity is revealed, he can no longer stay in the Chengguan Brigade.

Li Mu handed him a reassuring look, staggered his gaze, and asked casually, "Who is this black boy?" Look at the noodles. ”

Fang Yiai was a little indignant, and said, "Master Hou, I was about to tell you." This kid is not our person, he was forced in by the eldest grandson, saying whose family is here? Fang Yiai was blindfolded all of a sudden, or he didn't remember it at all, looked back at Li Chengqian, and shouted: "Boy, whose family are you from?" ”

"If you return to the team, I am from the Li family in Longxi, and I am related to the eldest grandson Chong."

"Huh!" Fang Yiai glanced at Li Chengqian with disdain, turned his head to Li Mu and said, "You heard it, relative!" ”

Li Mu looked at this situation, it was obvious that our prince was not looked down upon. Li Mu couldn't help but laugh and said, "I heard Eldest Sun Chong mention this matter, and I know that there is such a person. I don't think it's anything, the Li family in Longxi is also a famous family, and it is related to the eldest grandson's family, so it's not worse than you, why can't you bring one? ”

"Master Hou, this is different!" Fang Yiai was very serious, and he didn't carry Li Chengqian behind his back, and said directly: "Although his background is not low, he is not all the way with us. Those of us who can play together are all noble queens. We are people loyal to His Majesty, and these gate lords, they have no king, and their stomachs are full of bad water, how can we follow him all the way, if it is not for the eldest grandson Chong to let him join, we will not be able to disobey, and it will never be possible to take him. ”

"That's weird." Li Mu couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong with the Li family in Longxi, the royal family is from the Li family in Longxi, so it should be a heart." If you say so, the royal family is also a gate valve? ”

Fang Yiai was surprised and said, "Master Hou, don't you know? ”

"What should I know?"

"I'll tell you." Cheng Chumo took over and said, "Master Hou, you don't know, although the royal family was born in the Li clan of Longxi, but ......" Cheng Chumo leaned into Li Mu's ear and whispered: "The Li clan of Longxi is not recognized, and because of this, the **** is furious and does not allow the people of the Li clan in Longxi to appear in Chang'an City." After His Majesty ascended the throne, although the control was looser, the estrangement had not been lifted, so there were almost no people from the Li family in Longxi who entered the court as officials. ”

"There is such a saying, Ben Hou is really the first time I have heard of it." Li Mu knows what is going on here, and a young man like Cheng Chumo may not know it clearly, such a thing is still waiting for him to be free, and he can only know the details by asking someone who understands.

"Well, the main thing for today is not this matter. This black boy's business, since the eldest grandson Chong told me, and I agreed, then I will do as I say, isn't it a gentleman to break my word. Don't bully him, get along well, you know? ”

"Got it." Fang Yiai reluctantly agreed, he just complained a few words, not to mention what Li Mu promised, even if it was just the eldest grandson Chong, he couldn't afford to offend.

"I'm going to invite you to dinner today, because you've worked hard during this period of training, and you've done a good job, so I'll treat you. Besides, I want to tell you about it. Tomorrow, your sect leader, Cheng Chumo, will leave Chang'an City to Dingxiang, and he must have told you too. This time, he is an official and a knight, and now Cheng Chumo is already the Guoyi Lieutenant of Dingxiang Zhichong Mansion, and when you see him in the future, you have to call him a general. ”

"And you, too, will become members of the Chengguan Brigade under the Jinyiwei of the Ministry of Internal Affairs tomorrow. What you have to do, when you report to the Ministry of Industry tomorrow, someone will give each of you a booklet, which will list in detail your rights and obligations, as well as the rules and regulations, and the scope of management. Basically, all the situations you can encounter can be found on the above. You just need to follow the rules in the booklet, and tomorrow when the Ministry of Industry reports, everyone will receive two sets of clothes, which were supposed to give you horses, but the Ministry of Internal Affairs doesn't have many horses in hand recently, so I will trouble you to bring one out of the house by yourself-" Li Mu glanced at everyone and said, "No one thinks it's unfair, right?" If anyone thinks it's unfair, they can mention it, don't hold it back. ”

Whoever dares to speak out, it's just a horse, all of you here are the second generation of officials, who doesn't have a dozen or twenty horses at home. For the sake of a horse, he was entangled with Li Mu, and his brain was in water?

"If no one speaks, you will be treated as such. This horse, there are requirements, it must be a good horse in the prime of life, and it must be jujube red, you can't make a white horse sweat blood BMW or something, and you will appear in the crowd! You are a collective, you must be uniform, whoever wants to stand out, I will clean up whom, ugly words in front, when the time comes, you will be punished, don't say it unexpectedly. ”

"This is all a trivial matter, Master Hou, can I ask, can we bring weapons?"

"There are weapons, and I have ordered the blacksmith of the factory to make them for you. Jinyiwei standard embroidered spring knife, before the end of the month, everyone can have one. This embroidered spring knife is engraved with a name, people are in the knife, the knife destroys people, if anyone loses it to Lao Tzu, a thousand times! ”

Li Chengqian muttered in a low voice: "What kind of knife is so valuable, and the magic weapon is nothing more than that!" ”

"Hmph, it's a divine weapon. Produced by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it must be a high-quality product. When you get the embroidered spring knife, you will know whether it is worth the price. If you don't know how to cherish it, shouldn't you be punished? ”

Li Chengqian hurriedly shut his mouth, he was already an unpopular person now, and if he talked more, he would be beaten.

"Alright, that's all I have to say. From now on, work hard and live up to the ardent expectations of Your Majesty and Benhou, this is your only chance to make contributions, and you should know it in your hearts. After suffering so much, I have to know how to cherish it. ”

Li Mu is not wrong at all, as the second son of the family, there is no hope for the lord, and there is no good position as an official. Either go out or be a colt, this is already the pinnacle of their lives. In the Ministry of Internal Affairs, although the most popular yamen in the imperial court is now doing the work of patrolling the streets, it is also in the establishment of Jinyi Wei, and it will also have a future in the future.

Everyone responded in unison, Li Mu raised his wine glass, waved his hand, and walked to the place where the Jinyi guard was on the right.

They are all masters here, and they are smart and intelligent. What Li Mu said just over there had already been heard by those with sharp ears. I was both expectant and apprehensive in my heart, not knowing what kind of work he would arrange for his group.

People like Wei Fu who have something on their minds have slowed down the speed of eating and drinking.

Li Mu came to him, sat down in the place reserved for him, poured himself a glass of wine and raised it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, if I guess correctly, there must be people with ulterior motives among you!"
