Qin Mubai told Li Ke about Xue Rengui's situation.

After listening to this, Li Ke's eyes couldn't help but light up: "You mean to say that he is now ...... White body? ”

"Isn't it like that?" Qin Mubai smiled slightly, "Judging from his demeanor and bearing, he is by no means like a mountain villager. What's more important is that his martial arts are really outstanding. ”

"Better than you?" Li Ke asked.

"You don't have to compare me to me." Qin Mubai said, "Even Lu Guogong Cheng Zhijie is not his opponent. ”

"What? No way! Li Ke sighed lightly in surprise, couldn't help but turn his head to look at Xue Rengui a few more times, and said softly, "Lu Guogong and your father, but in my father's Qin Palace, the famous tiger and lion were the fierce generals in the world!" ”

"You can't be wrong." Qin Mubai nodded lightly and said indifferently, "It is estimated that only my father can match it." ”

"Such a powerful ......" Li Ke took a deep breath, his eyes shining.

"Your Highness, I know what you're thinking." Qin Mubai smiled and said softly, "I invited him from the countryside of Longmen in Jiangzhou to Chang'an, and his purpose was to promote him and give him a background. But he was very high-spirited, and he never promised me to take up a job in Baiqi. ”

"He won't even go to Baiqi, so what kind of official position does he want?" Li Ke couldn't help but be a little confused.

"I don't know." Qin Mubai shook his head, "Maybe what he wants is not a big official position, but a ...... A sense of accomplishment. ”

"A sense of accomplishment?" Li Ke shook his head puzzled.

"In other words, he doesn't want to be favored by others for nothing, and he wants to find a way out by his own ability." Qin Mubai said.

"That's right...... I know. Li Ke smiled mysteriously and said in a low voice, "Mu Bai, do you think I have any hope of taking him under my command?" ”

"You can try, but don't get your hopes up." Qin Mubai said.

Li Ke nodded thoughtfully, and after being silent for a moment, he said: "The people in my mansion are withering, especially the lack of unique generals, and the situation has become more and more serious since you left. Last time we were ordered to go to Jiangzhou, I left Yuwen Hongtai and Yin Yang to guard the gate in Chang'an, and there was no one at hand, only one Quan Wanji could be punished, but after all, he was a civil servant who did not disgrace military affairs, so when it came to the military, I felt overstretched. In recent days, I have been thinking about following my father's example in the past when I issued a merit order to recruit officials from the royal palace, mainly military generals. No matter where you come from, meritocracy. What do you think? ”

Qin Mubai thought for a while and said, "But will you make a mistake in this move?" ”

Li Ke smiled: "Probably not." I'm almost out of court now. Those people from Zongzheng Temple and the Ministry of War, don't they send me officials and generals, and don't allow me to hire a few people by myself? Originally, the Prince's Mansion had the right to appoint subordinate officials above the fourth rank by itself. However, I will also seek my father's consent in advance, so that he will not think that I am in a circle of people with bad intentions. ”

"That's it." Qin Mubai smiled knowingly at him and said, "This is an opportunity for Xue Rengui, I will indirectly recommend him to apply for the job in your mansion." ”

"Thank you so much, Mu Bai. Let's have a toast! Li Ke raised his glass with some excitement.

"You're welcome." Qin Mubai smiled slightly, clinking glasses with him and drinking.

In fact, Qin Mubai thought very clearly in his heart, the reason why he recommended Xue Rengui to Li Ke was not to deliberately befriend him, or to do it out of the way.

On the contrary, he did it on purpose!

After the Jiangzhou case, Qin Mubai and Li Ke had a tacit understanding, and they also had more trust and understanding between them. More importantly, Qin Mubai is invisible, and his interests and positions are always more consistent with Li Ke. Between the two, there seems to be an invisible bond that will connect each other.

One loss and one loss, one glory.

Moreover, after returning to Beijing this time, because of the trouble of Princess Gaoyang, Qin Mubai felt as if he had reached the end of a hundred horses. The emperor said nicely that he gave Qin Mubai a long vacation to go home for the New Year to rest, but in fact, he was buying more time for Li Junxian, who was about to take over the hundred horses, and was preparing to replace Qin Mubai.

In fact, even if the emperor didn't do this, Qin Mubai himself wanted to leave Baiqi. This position is thankless and troublesome, and more importantly, now because of Princess Gaoyang, his identity has become very sensitive, and he is no longer suitable to continue to stay in the harem on an errand.

Instead of waiting to be kicked away, it is better to take the initiative to find a way out first. If he leaves the hundred cavalry and the palace, Qin Mubai's way out is nothing more than two ways: one is to rise and descend secretly, and be transferred to the six rates and twelve guards as a general, just like the eldest grandson who was cleared out at the beginning; Second, learn from Cheng Zhijie and be transferred to Yuanren Prefecture and County as a local military attaché.

Obviously, the second way out is far better than the first.

When you go to the local place to be the governor of a state city, or be a lieutenant of a military government, it is also a giant, far better than being transferred to the complex and intertwined veteran military brigade of the Twelve Guards, and being a helpless and lonely young general who is despised and difficult to get ahead.

Not long ago, when Qin Mubai first returned to Chang'an, he had a meeting with Li Ke, and overheard him say that the emperor gave him the hereditary "Jingzhou Thorn History" because of his contribution to Jiangzhou, and he could take office after the year.

At that time, Li Ke will be transferred, why don't he go to Jingzhou with him and become a governor? Even if you can't be the governor of Chengdu, you can be a Sima or a long history, and then you can't be a state official or a captain of the government soldiers!

At that time, wouldn't the two of them easily cover the sky in Jingzhou? It's better than being in the Hundred Horses and the Palace now, facing countless pressures and troubles, and not having a day of leisure. Moreover, as a hundred horsemen, it is extremely difficult to have a hajj promotion, and no matter how well he does, he will get some verbal praise from the emperor at most. If it's a little bit bad, it's very likely to be a head-off job. Hundreds of horsemen, the surface scenery, is actually a very cost-effective errand. Where is it better to be a local overlord and comfortable?

Even Qin Shubao had told Qin Mubai more than once that if he had the opportunity, he might as well leave the whirlpool of the hundred horses. If there is a war, it is the best policy to go out to the army to earn military merits; If there is no war, but you go to the local area to take charge of military affairs, as long as the luck is not so bad that there is no big mistake, it is meritorious to govern the local area, and it is easy to be promoted.

Going to the local grassroots level to study for a year or two and then coming back and then being promoted, such a roundabout approach has been adopted by many Beijing officials. It has been proven for a long time, and it is indeed possible.

Qin Mubai felt that he was now at a bottleneck in his career. This trip to Jiangzhou can be described as meritorious, but he only received a reward of some acres of land and silver cloth, and gave a symbolic Xiaocai captain who is everywhere in the army, which is worthless. If you don't seek another way to seek a breakthrough, then you have to wait for the emperor to kick out the hundred horses, and it is possible to send it to which army to mess around, or even throw it to which border pass to defend the earth city.

So, Qin Mubai didn't hesitate to push Xue Rengui to Li Ke first. When this step is completed, it is your own job hopping. At that time, it is best to bring a few hundred horsemen over. Li Ke is weak now, and he must be grateful to him at this time. Coupled with the old friendship and interest ties of the two, when it comes to Li Ke's camp, it is above 10,000 people under one person, wouldn't it be easy to get it?

This is more than 10,000 times stronger than walking on thin ice in the palace!

At this point, Qin Mubai began to ponder the "job-hopping plan" in detail in his heart.

……

In the main hall of the Qin Mansion, the banquet was still going on.

In the backroom across the courtyard, Liu and Qin Shuang'er were chatting with Wu Meiniang's family for a short time, and suddenly heard that the house was extremely lively, and there were people competing in the backyard, so they were surprised. Seeing that there were a lot of cars in the front yard, there must be important guests visiting, and it was not easy for these female relatives to appear in the house, so they asked the people in the house to ask.

This question didn't matter, and after asking, the three of them were a little stunned.

"What day is it, why are so many people here at once?" Liu said in surprise.

Qin Shuang'er blinked her eyes and looked at Wu Meiniang, and said, "How can you even ...... Princess Gaoyang is also here? ”

Wu Meiniang smiled to herself: "She is a princess, which subject house she wants to go to as a guest, it is her freedom!" ”

"Mei Niang, ......" Liu's face was embarrassed, and he stopped talking.

"Madame wants to say anything, then say it!" Wu Meiniang smiled calmly.

"Hey......" Liu sighed lightly and said, "The matter between San Lang and Princess Gaoyang is known to everyone in the city, and you must be unhappy when you hear it." San Lang is not sensible, so I can only compensate you on behalf of me, who is a mother. ”

"Madame's words are serious." Wu Meiniang was still smiling and said easily, "Mu Bai has explained this matter to me in detail openly and honestly. I know everything between the two of them. ”

"Huh?" Liu and Qin Shuang'er were stunned together.

"Exactly." Wu Meiniang said, "Between me and Mu Bai, there is a deep affection and complete trust. I believe everything he says. Even if the emperor wants to marry Princess Gaoyang to him, I have no opinion. ”

"Huh? ......" Liu and Qin Shuang'er exclaimed again, their mouths wide open, almost swallowing a fist.

"You don't have to be surprised." Wu Meiniang said with a smile, "It's not that I want to say it in a high-sounding manner, this is indeed my true thought." For a man like Mu Bai, it is normal for other women to like it. But if it is a farmer who occupies a few more acres of thin land than others, and the family has a little bit of capital and still wants to take a few more concubines, how can I be naïve enough to force Mu Bai to be the only woman I am? Since this matter cannot be changed, no matter how many women there are around him, it will be the same. Since the other party is still a princess, it can't be better. In this way, it may also be able to provide convenience and assistance to Mu Bai. Moreover, Princess Gaoyang's love for Mu Bai is indeed deeply moving. Don't worry, I don't mind if there is another Princess Gaoyang by Mu Bai's side. ”

"Really? ......" Liu muttered, looking at Wu Meiniang in surprise, still a little unconvinced.

Qin Shuang'er shook her head and sighed: "Sister Mei, you are really open-minded, and you are wise and intelligent. Does my third brother like you so much! It seems that it is not only because of your appearance, but also because of your wisdom and mind. Oh, why is God so unfair, not only giving you amazing looks, but also giving you such intelligence. Why don't I have any? ”

"You kid, aren't you complaining that your father didn't give birth to you well?" Liu scolded angrily, took Wu Meiniang's hand and patted it gently, and said gratefully and happily, "Meiniang, Mu Bai can please you, it is really a blessing to cultivate in the previous life." In fact, Mu Bai is somewhat similar to his father's virtues, different from ordinary men. They are also affectionate, but they are never abusive. As long as it is a woman around you, she will definitely respect and cherish it unusually. I am also just a partial concubine of the Qin family, but Yiguo Gong has always been kind to me and has never treated me as a dispensable concubine. We have been in love with each other for so many years, and I never expected to abandon this kind of thing, and it absolutely has nothing to do with me. ”

"I know that. Mu Bai is a good man who stands up to the sky. In fact, he was driven by a kind and righteous mind towards Princess Gaoyang, which made him accept her? Wu Meiniang said, "Princess Gaoyang is actually a very poor woman. In other words, if I were Mu Bai, I would definitely be moved by her, so I would accept her without regrets. Although I am preconceived, how can I bear to break them up and let Mu Bai's side lack such a good woman who works hard for him? ”

"That's a good point!" Liu nodded and praised, "We are women's families, we can't do anything earth-shattering, everything is for the good of our men, that's right." But don't worry, I will always admonish Mu Bai. Let him restrain his fancy thoughts, and don't mess with flowers outside. If he dares to bully or fail you, I will not spare him for the first time! ”

"Thank you, ma'am!" Wu Meiniang grinned, "Mu Bai treats me very well, he has always been a very righteous and conscientious person, I believe in him!" ”

"Hey! ......" Qin Shuang'er shook her head and let out a long sigh, "What kind of luck did my brother go?" I can actually meet such a reasonable and good woman as you! ”

"It's also a blessing for me to meet him." Wu Meiniang smiled slightly.

……

Above the main hall, the banquet was coming to an end.

Cheng Zhijie, who was greedy for a cup of good drink, was the first to get drunk. Loud and laughing in the hall, making a lot of noise. Li Ke and Qin Mubai also drank a little more, but Xue Rengui, who was not strong enough to drink, had long wanted to slip away, but he just sat there because of his feelings.

Only Princess Gaoyang had never drunk any wine, her eyes had been staring at Qin Mubai with a pair of bright eyes, and she threw a few meaningful glances at him from time to time, so that Qin Mubai didn't know what she wanted to say.

After the banquet was removed, Cheng Zhijie's father and son were left in the Qin Mansion and arranged for the guest room to stay. If Xue Rengui was amnestied, please leave, and Qin Mubai personally sent him to the door of the mansion.

"General, please stay, don't work far away." Xue Rengui arched his hand and said.

"Brother Xue walks slowly." Qin Mubai smiled in return and didn't say much.

Xue Rengui turned around and walked a few steps, his steps seemed to be a little staggering, probably he really drank too much. But after walking a few steps, he stopped again, turned around and walked towards Qin Mubai, as if he had made up his mind, solemnly hugged his fists, and said: "The general has deliberately carried him many times, but he has always been ignorant of what is good or bad, and I ask the general to forgive him!" ”

"Brother Xue, what are you talking about? I just hope that the two of us can be good friends. Qin Mubai said.

"Brother Qin was born in a noble family, but he didn't dislike the intercourse of the common people in Xia, which made him very embarrassed." Xue Rengui said, "In fact, I have been refusing to resign to join Brother Qin's hundred horses, not because I have a grudge against Brother Qin. ”

"Oh, what's that?" Qin Mubai asked.

"That's because...... In the next life, his wish was to gallop across the battlefield to serve the country, not to serve as a guard by the emperor's side. Xue Rengui arched his hand and said, "General, please forgive me for being rude." Next...... I'm really not interested in Baiqi! ”

"Everyone has their own ambitions, and they can't help it." Qin Mubai said with a smile, "Actually, I am also a temporary expedient measure in Baiqi, and I am not very enthusiastic about this position. My original idea was just to borrow the cheap power in my hand to open a door to your career, and I didn't want to keep you in Baiqi. ”

Xue Rengui's eyes flashed: "In this way, the general only regarded the hundred horsemen as a place of transition?" ”

"Almost!" Qin Mubai smiled, "I was born in Jiangmen, I was nurtured by my father since I was a child, and I was used as a horse leather shroud for the generals, how could I be willing to be silent in the royal harem and be an errand guard for others to call with peace of mind?" ”

"It turns out that the general is also ambitious!" Xue Rengui's expression became much more relaxed and relieved, and he smiled.

"Men's ambitions, what Brother Xue and I think is actually similar." Qin Mubai said, "The reason why I ran for the Hundred Horsemen was just to open this door for myself. Now that the portal is open, it's time for me to go. It probably won't be long before I'm transferred. Therefore, I will not mention the matter of recommending Brother Xue to enter the Hundred Horses now, because I have to leave myself, hehe! ”

"Really? Has the general figured out a way out? Xue Rengui asked.

Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Not yet." But don't worry, if I have the opportunity to lead the army, I will call you! ”

"If so, Xue will be grateful!" Xue Rengui clenched his fists heavily.

"Brother Xue is polite!" Qin Mubai returned the salute, and sighed happily in his heart: It turns out that this is the reason, Xue Rengui doesn't want to be a guard, he just wants to fight! Yes, that's in line with his character. He is too modest and sincere, but also a little honest. The treacherous palace is indeed not suitable for him. It seems that his positioning in his life is really clear - galloping on the battlefield to kill the enemy quickly, and make contributions with his own skills!

Xue Rengui said goodbye and left. Qin Mubai slowly paced back to think about this matter, and couldn't help but smile, and said in his heart: Xue Rengui wants to be a general and doesn't want to be a guard, so just let him enter the Wu Wangfu as a military attache with troops. Although he is aiming at the battlefield, he must first be familiar with the military structure of the Tang Dynasty, otherwise even if there is a war at that time, he will not be able to adapt to the left and right when he enters the army, and he will not be blinded? I believe Xue Rengui will also agree with this proposal.

In this way, the matter of getting Xue Rengui to King Wu's Mansion is already half done!

"Hey, what are you giggling at alone!" Just as I was thinking about having fun, suddenly a coquettish scolding came from my side. If it weren't for Qin Mubai's extremely strong psychological quality, he would really be scared.

Who else could there be? Of course, it's the reckless Princess Gaoyang.

"You guy, do you want to murder your husband?" Seeing that there was no one around, Qin Mubai scolded with a smile.

"Hey, hey! This can scare you to death, you're not so vulnerable, and you said you want to protect me! Perhaps because she had drunk a little wine, Princess Gaoyang's face flushed. The little tiger teeth are grinning, and in the two small dimples, there is a happy smile unique to a little woman.
