"Hand over my son." The old man standing at the front said.

"You are looking for your son, what are I doing in Loei?" Li Jiang listened to your old man's words, and asked without reacting for a while.

But Shi Ming, who was standing behind Li Jiang, reacted extremely quickly, and his eyes looked in the direction of Mu Qi.

Mu Qi knew that he couldn't hide, so he stepped forward, saluted and said, "Father." ”

"You know that I am your father." The old man saw that Mu Qi's face was slightly angry, his eyes kept staring at Mu Qi, and then said: "Now that I have a long ability, I still know how to escape over the wall." ”

"Father, I've already said that I don't have any interest in the family business, why does my father keep forcing me?" Murge's heart was irritated, and the nerves in his temples twitched.

"Not interested?" When the old man heard Mu Qi's words, he became even more angry, pointed at Mu Qi and said, "Is it possible that a carpenter has a career?" ”

"Father, I have loved this all my life, and I am only interested in it, maybe in your eyes, the carpenter cannot match the family business, but in my heart it is irreplaceable." Mu Qi said to the old man with a serious face.

"Interested?" The old man showed a trace of contempt on his face, and said word by word: "Interest can be eaten? My Mu family has only one son, if you don't inherit the family business, then the Mu family's hard work of several generations over the years will be in vain, so how can you be worthy of your ancestors and ancestors. ”

"......" listened to the old man's words, and Mu Qi fell silent, which is also the reason why Shi Mu Qi was in a dilemma.

Because it was Mu Qi's own business, Li Jiang and the others were not easy to intervene, and the atmosphere was quiet for a while.

At this time, Li Lao slowly walked out of the inner hall, Li Jiang immediately greeted and supported Li Lao, and the others saluted together when they saw this: "Master." ”

"No need to be polite." Li Lao said amiably, then turned to Mu Qi's father and saluted, "This must be Mu Qi's father." ”

"Exactly, I'm here to bring my son home." The old man didn't say much, and said directly to Elder Li.

"It's only natural to bring your own son home, and as long as Mu Qi has no opinion, I won't stop it." Li Lao also said directly.

"Did you hear that? Your master has no opinion, so don't hurry back with me. When the old man heard Li Lao's words, he said directly to Mu Qi.

Mu Qi heard the conversation between his father and Li Lao, and the hands in his sleeves were clenched tightly and silent.

Seeing Mu Qi's indecisive and dilemmad expression, Li Lao slowly spoke: "Say what you really think in your heart, if you leave, I will not stop you, and if you want to stay, no one will be able to take you away." ”

"Elder Li, I respect you as an old man, but if you stop me, don't blame me for being polite." Father Mu Qi listened to Li Lao's words, and the expression on his face changed in an instant.

"Muki, figure out what you really want?" Li Lao did not answer Mu Qi's father directly, but said seriously to Mu Qi.

"Huh." Seeing that Li Lao ignored him, Mu Qi's father was even more angry in his heart, and said with a trace of impatience on his face: "Do you have the right to stop a father from bringing his son home?" ”

"Muqi, you think about it carefully, you can't change it if you make a decision this time." Li Lao said to Mu Qi seriously word by word.

"Master, I want to stay." Murch said seriously.

"Okay." Li Lao heard Mu Qi's answer, his face was full of smiles, and he nodded.

"Nope." When Mu Qi's father heard Mu Qi's decision, he said angrily: "Now, immediately, go back with me immediately, and don't let me let people take you back." ”

Mu Qi's father made all the preparations in order to bring Mu Qi back, and even brought all the little servants in the mansion with him, just to prevent Mu Qi from wanting to go back, so that Xiao Si could forcibly tie people back.

"I'm sorry." Li Lao didn't care about what Mu Qi's father said, but said with a gentle face: "I said before, as long as Mu Qi wants to leave, I will never stop him, if he wants to stay, no one can take him away." ”

"Are you going to force people to stay, aren't you afraid that I will report to the official?" Mu Qi's father was very angry and said angrily to Li Lao.

"I think you're mistaken." Li Lao said with a smile on his face: "There is one thing, I don't think Mu Qi told you. ”

"What's the matter?" Muchi's father said in a very bad tone.

"Mu Qi is now serving in General Mengda's army, and it was His Majesty's personal order to learn the craft in Loei, if you forcibly take Mu Qi away now, it will be a rebellion." Li Lao said slowly, although his tone was extremely calm, but every word in his words made Mu Qi's father's eyes widen.

Mu Qi's father looked at Mu Qi, suppressed his anger and said, "Is this true? ”

"Yes, father, it was His Majesty who personally ordered it, and I have already reported to General Mengda's barracks." Mu Qi didn't hide it, and nodded directly.

"Good, good." After Mu Qi's father heard Mu Qi's words, he angrily pointed at Mu Qi and said three good words, and then took a deep breath and said to Xiao Si he brought: "Go home." ”

Mu Qi's father quickly left Loei with the little servant, and Mu Qi looked at the back of his father leaving, and had an indescribable feeling.

"Master, I'm sorry for the inconvenience." When Mu Qi saw his father leave, he saluted Li Lao.

"Remembering your choice today, and not regretting it in the future is the greatest respect for me." Li Lao said with a kind face.

"I won't regret it." Murch said firmly.

So Mu Qi's little episode passed quickly, Li Jiang introduced Xiaobao to Li Lao, and Li Lao didn't mind that there was one more person in Li Fu, so he let Xiaobao stay.

Li Lao didn't stay in the courtyard for long, and then went back to the inner hall.

After Li Lao returned to the inner hall, everyone also let go of some, Li Jiang brought Xiaobao to Xiaobu with a smile, and then said with a smile: "Xiaobu, Xiaobao will be our junior brother in the future, you have to take good care of him." ”

So, Xiaobao and Xiaobu, one big and one small, have been staring at each other with small eyes and big eyes, because Xiaobu is an orphan and has a somewhat withdrawn personality, so Li Jiang decided to give Xiaobao to Xiaobu to take care of, but whether they can understand Li Jiang's good intentions, I don't know.

Early in the morning of the second day, Fusu Gongzi's carriage stopped at the gate of Loei, and Meng Jiangnu changed into the new clothes she had prepared and got into the carriage.

Before getting into the carriage, Li Jiang suddenly stopped Meng Jiangnu, but he didn't know what to say.

Seeing this, Meng Jiangnu didn't show a smile and said, "Jiang Er, don't worry, I'll be back soon." ”

"Be careful." Mu Qi, who was standing on the side, looked at Meng Jiangnu, and suddenly had a feeling in his heart that he didn't want her to enter the palace, but he couldn't do anything about it.

The carriage drove away slowly, and it was not until there was no carriage that Li Jiang said to Mu Qi: "Let's go back, Sister Meng will be back soon." ”

"Hmm." Mu Qi looked at the vanished carriage, suppressed the unknown emotion in his heart, and nodded in reply.

Looking at the majestic palace, Meng Jiangnu stood quietly at the door and waited, and the eunuch beside her respectfully said to Meng Jiangnu: "Please also ask the girl to wait here for a while, when Your Majesty summons her, the slave will take the girl in again." ”

"There is Father-in-law." Meng Jiangnu saluted the eunuch and smiled.

When the eunuch saw that Meng Jiangnu was knowledgeable and reasonable, and Hao didn't put on a show, he felt good in his heart, and the smile on his face became even bigger, and then said, "The girl is polite." ”

Meng Jiangnu didn't wait at the door for a long time, but after waiting for a while, she heard a summons in the hall, so the eunuch asked Meng Jiangnu to walk in respectfully.

Meng Jiangnu saw such a dress for the first time, although she had suppressed the fear in her heart and pretended to be calm on her face, her hands and feet were still a little weak.

The civil and military officials above the main hall were very curious about the legendary Meng Jiangnu who cried to the Great Wall, and when they saw Meng Jiangnu, they lowered their heads and discussed.

Meng Jiangnu walked to the center of the main hall, slowly knelt down, and saluted Qin Shi Huang, who was sitting on the dragon chair: "See Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live." ”

"Get up." Qin Shi Huang's deep voice sounded, Qin Shi Huang looked at the woman kneeling in the center of the hall and asked, "You are Meng Jiangnu?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the people's daughter is exactly." Meng Jiangnu said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Is it the Great Wall where you cried?" Qin Shi Huang continued to ask.

"It was God's mercy that split the Great Wall, and the woman was able to meet her husband." Meng Jiangnu did not say that she cried down the Great Wall, but directly said that she had mercy from heaven.

"Did you really meet your husband?" Listening to Meng Jiangnu's words, Qin Shi Huang asked curiously.

"Your Majesty, I only sigh that my husband has not personally lifted the head cover of the people's daughter, and since then heaven and man have been separated forever." The Meng family girl is a smart person who knows how to speak so as not to arouse the suspicion of others.

"So, did you really see your husband?" Qin Shi Huang was even more convinced when he heard this.

"Back to Your Majesty, when the Great Wall collapsed, the folk girl did not see her husband's figure, but only heard her husband's voice in her ears, pouring out the pain of lovesickness and the pain of parting." Saying that when you see a dead person, I am afraid that many people will not believe it, and when the Great Wall collapsed, Meng Jiangnu was not the only one present, that is, when she saw Fan Xiliang, I am afraid that someone with a heart will find out if you look it out.

"It's so magical." Qin Shi Huang listened to Meng Jiangnu's words, and said happily: "In this way, it is indeed God's mercy. ”

"It's just that the folk girl doesn't know, this matter will affect General Meng, General Meng is a good person, if it weren't for him, the folk girl is afraid that she still hasn't found her husband's whereabouts at this time." Meng Jiangnu looked at Qin Shi Huang and said.

At this time, Gongzi Fusu and Menmeng Tian were above the main hall, and after Gongzi Fusu came back, he quickly told Meng Tian about Zhao Gao's strategy, so Meng Tian looked at Meng Jiangnu and was very grateful in his eyes.

"This time it's really Meng Aiqing's fault." Qin Shi Huang listened to Meng Jianu's words, looked at Meng Tian with a smile on his face and said, "Meng Aiqing did very right in this matter, what reward do you need?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is just a gesture and does not ask for a reward," Meng Tian said quietly.

"Okay, he is worthy of being a loyal and courageous General Meng." Qin Shi Huang listened to Meng Tian's words, his heart became even happier, and he let out a hearty laugh.
