Li Mu called the eldest grandson Chong to prepare for the affairs of the Foreign Affairs Office. He came with some graduates of the second phase of Datang Technical School. All of them have served in the Ministry of Internal Affairs for half a year and have some work experience.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, one internally and the other externally, are essentially very different. These people come and get back to work very quickly.

Because of the relationship between the second phase of students, even if they are the best, after entering the Ministry of Internal Affairs, they will not be able to do the position of director and director. But when I came to the Foreign Affairs Office, the situation was different. The Foreign Affairs Office is employing people, and if they have outstanding ability, they have a good chance of being promoted.

It was also because of this possibility that they were willing to give up the fat difference of the Internal Affairs Office and ran from Chang'an to Luoyang.

Only the eldest grandson Chong is different, he has long wanted to come, and his father has never allowed him to come. When he came to Luoyang this time, he also took advantage of his father's failure to react, and went to Li Shimin to ask for a will. How do you get home and don't know yet?

But Changsun Chong doesn't care about this, no matter how he says it, it is father and son, at most it is a beating, he can be open-minded.

The eldest grandson Chong was originally the director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, in charge of the Imperial Property Bureau, known as the 'Upper Three Bureaus', and because of his identity. When Li Mu was away, he seemed to be the head of the Internal Affairs Office, and often participated in court meetings on behalf of the Internal Affairs Office. When he came to Luoyang, he couldn't get people and substantial benefits. Even if he is made the Minister in Charge of Foreign Affairs, the power in his hands may not be much higher than his original power. You must know that the Foreign Affairs Office does not have an Imperial Property Bureau, and the Imperial Property Bureau, under the system of the New Deal, actually manages all the land in the country except for the land that is distributed according to the per capita apportionment.

According to preliminary statistics, it is almost one-fifth of the country's existing fields. The oil and water in it, even fools can figure it out.

But what Changsun Chong wants is not the so-called oil and water. He came from a noble background and was not short of money since he was a child. There is a concept of money, but it is not so much that you bend your waist for money. At first, he targeted Li Mu, not because of money, but because of his will.

Before Li Mu appeared, he was the most beautiful boy in Chang'an City, although he was fat, no one dared to say it. But since Li Mu appeared, his aura has been taken away. The most infuriating thing is that Li Mu dares to ridicule him for being fat. The most hated thing about a fat man is who says he is fat. For the dignity of the fat man, of course he has to fight with Li Mu.

However, if you can't fight, what else can you do?

Li Mu's various miracles completely convinced Changsun Chong. Changsun Chong can only be an apprentice willingly, he has always had an intuition in his heart that Li Mu is the one who can change the Tang Dynasty, and following him, he can at least see with his own eyes the changes he has brought to this world. To be able to participate in it, life can be regarded as wonderful.

……

Unconsciously talked for a night, and when it was almost dawn, Changsun Chong stopped talking. Gem listened attentively and found it interesting. But I couldn't stand it, and my head was dizzy. At this time, the rooster crowed outside, the eldest grandson Chong got up and dressed, and Gem looked at him like a psychopath, and said, "It's only been a few days, what are you doing when you get up?" ”

"Get up and run, get fit." While getting dressed, Eldest Sun Chong explained: "When we were studying in the valley, our teacher asked us to run every morning and evening. I used to be a fat man, more than 200 pounds, you see now, I lost it by running. ”

"You're more than 200 pounds?" Gem was so surprised that his tone changed, a big reason why he was able to talk to Changsun Chong for so long was that he felt that Changsun Chong's physique was very good. Although it is not the physique of a strong man, it is rare among ordinary people to be so strong. In particular, the muscles in his arms are more developed than his own. Gem never imagined that such a sturdy eldest grandson Chong would once be a fat man of two hundred pounds, which is also incredible.

"Tsk-" Gem pouted, "Look at the way you look now, you know how much you have suffered." Your master, you can really do it. ”

"It's also your master," Changsun Chong reminded, "You haven't experienced that period, and you can't understand the benefits." In the beginning, I couldn't hold on. Fortunately, there were classmates with me, and I finally managed to survive. Later, I slowly caught up, minus this body of fat, and I knew the hard work of my teacher. Now I am light and energetic, I can do whatever I want, but I don't want to go back. ”

The eldest grandson rushed to put on his shoes and said, "I'll go for a run and call you when I come back." Today, Master is leaving, and you and I, as apprentices, have to prepare early. ”

"What are you going to do?"

Changsun Chong's voice came through the window: "You have to send it to Master, it's okay if you don't understand, just follow me." ”

"Phew!" Gem pursed his lips, pulled the covers up, and covered his head. After a while, he began to snore.

……

Li Mu is going to leave today, and last night, of course, he will be a little busy. The first half of the night was in Jin Chen's room, and after a while, he got into Zhang Tianai's room. When it was dawn, Zhang Tianai finally fell asleep, Li Mu yawned and went back to Qiaoqiao's room, worried that Qiaoqiao would wake up, so he sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the three of them.

Men's sage time, always the most sober. In Li Mu's mind, many thoughts crossed at one time. After having a child, Li Mu's thoughts became clearer. He knew what he wanted, and he gave up unnecessary hesitation. Because where he is needed, there are many people who need him. He can't be a Virgin Mary, he can only be selfish, protect the people he thinks are important, and do what he thinks is important.

This time I went to Miaojiang to find Wang Ou, and his purpose was also very clear. He must bring Wang Ou back, no matter what obstacles there are. Even if Wang Ou told him personally, everything she did was fake, just to borrow seeds. Li Mu also wanted to bring her back, because Wang Ou was his woman, and this reason alone was enough.

As for Cui Yuzheng, in Li Mu's heart, he is already a dead man.

If it was Li Mu before, he might feel that it was a little unfair to Cui Yuzheng. But now, he doesn't have the heart to think about it that much. How can it be all fair, when you hit my mind on me, you didn't think to play with my feelings, is it unfair to me? In that case, it depends on whose ability is greater.

This time I went to Miaojiang, if I could make sense, I would say it, and if it didn't make sense, I would rob it. Li Mu had already made up his mind that he would never let his women and children follow another man.

When you are stunned, you can't feel the time. In a flash, it was already bright outside. Bai Qiaoqiao also woke up, looking at Li Mu's eyes in a daze, knowing that he had something in his heart, and at the same time, she also understood that she couldn't help much, and all she could do was not to make trouble for him. Qiaoqiao stretched out his hand, grabbed Li Mu's hand, and woke him up from his thoughts.

Li Mu looked at Bai Qiaoqiao and said, "Wake up?" Why don't you sleep more? ”

"I can't sleep for long," Bai Qiaoqiao yawned and said, "After a while, my son will cry." Every day, it's been days. ”

"This kid," Li Mu raised his hand and gestured on Li Bai's buttocks, where was he willing to fight, but I don't know if he sensed the 'palm wind', Xiao Li Bai still cried. Qiaoqiao glanced at him, got up and picked up the child, Li Mu could only laugh awkwardly, finally his son stopped crying, and his daughter cried again. He had no choice but to pick up his daughter and coax him, and the originally quiet environment instantly became noisy.

The old lady waiting in the outhouse heard the cry and hurried in. In the end, people still have experience, and the child took it and shook it a few times, and then he didn't cry. Li Mu wiped the sweat on his head and said from the bottom of his heart: "I've been out for the past two months, but it's enough for you to be tired." ”

"Isn't there someone to help," Qiaoqiao pursed her lips and said, "Daddy said she was coming, and my mother-in-law is also on the way." Don't worry, there's nothing going on my side. It's you—"

Qiaoqiao knew about Wang Ou, and Li Mu didn't hide it from her: "If you go this time, Sister Ou will definitely come back with you?" If she refuses, what do you want to do? ”

"She won't, and I'll bring her back." Li Mu didn't say a word in his heart, unless he could confirm that Wang Ou really didn't love him at all. Well, he'll do something else. He will kill Cui Yuzheng, and at that point, he won't care about any reason.

It's just that he won't tell Bai Qiaoqiao about this kind of fighting, killing, and killing. Moreover, he didn't think that Wang Ou really had no feelings for him at all.

Li Mu said this, Bai Qiaoqiao didn't ask anymore, changed the topic, and said, "What time to go?" When will you be back? ”

"I'm ready to come back before winter, and I'll leave after breakfast." Li Mu held Bai Qiaoqiao's hand and said, "Xiao Jiu'er will go with me, he has prepared a lot of people to protect me, you don't have to worry." But at home, you have to rely on Jinyiwei. Yesterday I discussed it with Tianai and made preparations. Tianai and Chenchen, kung fu is not weak, and self-protection is no problem. The only thing I'm worried about is you, these existing preparations can ensure your safety in the house, and it just so happens that you also have to go to confinement, so try not to go out if you can, in case you have to go out, take the rainstorm pear flower needle I gave you. ”

"How can there be so many enemies." Seeing that Li Mu was very serious, Bai Qiaoqiao had no choice but to say: "Okay, just don't go out of the house, with these two children dragging me, I can't go out if I want to, you can rest assured." ”

Li Mu gently hugged Bai Qiaoqiao and said, "When I come back this time, I will start building a ship." Strive to bring Zhien back before the autumn harvest next year, and then we will be reunited as a family. ”

"Hmm." Bai Qiaoqiao also hugged Li Mu, feeling sorry for her man. Who could have known that the mighty Luoyang Hou, the wish in his heart was just that simple?

"I'll take the pigeons with me, and if there's anything, I'll pass on the pigeons." Li Mu took out a booklet from his arms again, and said, "This is what I left for Siwen, when he gets things done here, you give him this booklet, and he will understand what to do when he reads it." ”

"Hmm." Bai Qiaoqiao put the booklet away and didn't look at it. First, she knew that she might not be able to understand, and besides, she didn't have that much curiosity.

After explaining the matter, the old mother took the child back to breastfeed. After feeding the child, Bai Qiaoqiao got up to wash, Li Mu asked people to send breakfast to the house, the couple finished eating, and Li Mu was ready to leave.

Bai Qiaoqiao has not finished her confinement yet, and according to the rules, she can't leave the house. But Li Mu is leaving today, and she has to send it. In order to avoid the wind, the old mothers wrapped her three layers inside and three layers outside, and gained weight three times out of thin air.

Li Mu didn't want her to be so tired, but he could understand her feelings, so he didn't stop her.

When I went out this time, I prepared things for many years. In addition to Dugu Jiu personally leading the team and 30 famous masters in the rivers and lakes, there are also 30 sword and axe players and 40 archers. The weapons are all fully bred, the archers are equipped with repeating crossbows, and if they rely on the favorable terrain, the combat power of these 100 people can cope with at least ten times the number of people.

In addition, Li Mu also made some additional preparations. For example, he also brought a box of explosives. Maybe you won't need it, but what if you do? Wouldn't you be blind if you weren't prepared?

All kinds of herbs, food, thin clothes, these basic things, naturally, all these basic things are brought. After explaining the matter, the old mother took the child back to breastfeed.

In addition to the combatants, he also brought two sets of various necessary things for the midwives at the time of Qiaoqiao's delivery. In case there is another twin, it will not be rushed, even if there is only one, it can be regarded as preparing an extra set of spare.

In addition, Li Mu also made some additional preparations. For example, he brought a box of explosives. Maybe you won't need it, but what if you do? It's always right to be prepared.

All kinds of herbs, food, thin clothes, these basic things, naturally, all these basic things are brought.

With so many things brought, the team is naturally huge. There were twelve carts in front and back, and the road in front of the Hou Mansion was full.

Qiaoqiao can't see the wind, and it can only be sent to the door. Although he knew, Li Mu didn't come back. But when it came to the end, she was still reluctant. The tears couldn't stop flowing, and Jin Chen didn't have much to do, hiding behind Qiaoqiao, not wanting Li Mu to see it. Zhang Tianai is the strongest, she didn't cry, and her eyes were red. Wei Yingluo stood far away, but her eyes were always on Li Mu, and she didn't miss it for a moment.

Li Siwen, Li Tai, Changsun Chong, Gem, Ma Zhou...... These people from the Hou Mansion, except for those on the construction site, basically came over.

"Take care, everyone, follow the steps, wait for me to come back!"
