Datong, the county guard's mansion, a messenger turned over and dismounted, walked quickly, and asked the guards in front of the door where Li Muzhi was.

"Master Li went to the military camp to train the troops, give me the letter!" Zhao Jie, who is now the head of the county guard, happened to pass by, and Gu Jing said without waves.

"I don't know who this lord is......" the messenger asked, confused.

"This is Lord Bookkeeper!" Without waiting for Zhao Jie to answer, a guard in front of the door had already introduced, and his tone contained a sense of rebuke.

"It turned out to be Lord Chief, this is a letter from Lord Zhao, the head of the field, to you and Li Junshou, he asked me to inform you: There is a Xiongnu Zhamu and the Ministry of Envoys who have come to ask to meet Li Mu and Li Junshou."

"I see." Zhao Jie was quite excited when he heard this, and ordered: "You go back and tell Zhao that everything is according to the original plan!" ”

Three days later, under the cover of night, a Hun horse team quietly entered Pingcheng. At the same time, the atmosphere in the county guard became more intense and tense.

"At the first meeting, Touman said that many of our conditions, such as the supply of war horses, intelligence exchange, wartime defection, etc., can be agreed, but his quid pro quo is that we must fully support Zamu and the tribe, and can only support their tribe!" Zhao Jie quickly reported to Li Mu the negotiation with Zamu and the ministry.

"It seems that this man is also a wonderful person, and he also knows the truth of asking for a price and paying back the money on the spot." Li Mu smiled and continued: "Your Highness, where do you think our bottom line is? ”

Zhao Jie's mind spun quickly, and after being silent for a while, he replied: "According to the following opinion: first, it is naturally impossible to fully support his family, but we can promise to use his ministry as the boundary, and we will not set foot in the north. The second armor iron can be supplied, but there must be a certain limit. Third, wartime defection can be waived, but the other side must provide a safe haven for our intelligence gatherers. Fourth, in order to prevent the war horse from being inferior to the good, it is necessary to have its own personnel personally participate in the selection of the war horse. Fifth,......"

"Your bottom line is too conservative! Now, the fate of Zamu and the Ministry has reached the line of life and death, they will not easily give up the matter of cooperation with us, and Zamu and the Ministry want to rely on our Zhao State to dominate the grassland, so we can completely raise the bottom line, after all, they need our support much more than we need their help. Li Mu shook his arm, pointed his finger and said, "You send someone to draw up a specific content of our bottom line and submit it to me in the afternoon." In the evening, come and pick up the bottom line content of my revised treaty! ”

"Understood, I will immediately send someone to draw up the specific content of the bottom line of the treaty!" Zhao Jie replied loudly.

"Also, bring the leader of the mission, Touman, into the mansion, and I'll meet him for a while." Li Mu's eyes exuded a hint of cunning, and he continued: "This Hun must be a character!" ”

—————————————————————————————————————

"Brother Touman, please!" Under the cover of night, Zhao Jie led Touman into Li Mu's signing room: "Li Mu and Master Li are waiting for you in the room?" ”

Tou Man sorted out his clothes, and then swaggered into Li Mu's main work area with Zhao Jie's footsteps in his footsteps. At this moment, Li Muzheng is working hard to write. ‘’

"The county guard, I'll help you bring Touman!" Zhao Jie called softly, and then closed his mouth.

"I have heard the name of Li Junshou for a long time, and when I see it today, it really deserves its reputation!" Tou Man bowed to Li Muji with a weekly salute.

"Please sit down, please wait patiently for a while, and then discuss it with the Touman brothers when I finish writing!" Li Mu didn't raise his head, said casually, and continued to write.

It didn't take long for Li Mu to put down the pen in his hand and handed the writing to Zhao Jie, who understood it and quit the door.

"Brother Touman led an embassy to Datong, presumably he won the trust of your lord and had a very high status in the tribe!" Li Mu smiled and said with a harmless look.

"In the next Bucai, at present, there are thousands of households!" Tou Man said with a slightly moved expression.

"Why? What is the reason why your lord sent you to do this secret matter, which shows that your lord trusts you, but he does not join you as an official? Is there something that has to be done? Li Mu asked with a puzzled expression.

"It's understandable that people who are new to the bottom should not be promoted!" Tou Man explained with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

"I don't think that extraordinary people should be promoted by extraordinary, how can such a wise person not know this truth!" Li Mu continued to speculate: "I think it may be that there is a slander on your lord's side!" ”

Hearing this, Tou Man's heart was flustered, and he said excitedly: "Li Junshou, don't provoke the unity of my clan!" ”

Li Mu smiled when he heard this: "Brother Touman, don't get excited, I'm just guessing at random, I believe that your lord will not be so easy to slander his ministers!" ”

Hearing this, Tou Man's expression softened a lot, and he asked with palpitations: "I don't know why Lord County Guard came to me tonight?" ”

"It's not a big deal, I just want to meet the Touman brothers!" Li Mu said with a smile on his face: "I have long heard that Touman Qianhu is a rare talent of the Hun Zamu and the department, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation!" ”

"The county guard is praised, but he is just loyal to his duties and dedicated to the Lord!" Tou Man replied without humility or arrogance: "I also hope that Lord County can take pity on the suffering of our department and reach a cooperation as soon as possible to help our department avoid a catastrophe!" ”

"Don't worry, we are also looking forward to peace!" Immediately, Li Mu changed his words and said: "I heard that your lord was seriously ill some time ago, but I don't know if you are getting better now!" ”

"The witch doctor on the grassland diagnosed that the patriarch's illness has hurt the roots, and it is estimated that he will only live for another year at most!" Touman replied with a gloomy expression.

"How can this be, this is really a big loss for your department!" Li Mu continued to ask with a regretful expression: "I don't know if your lord can decide who will succeed you?" Can you guarantee the continuity of the cooperation between you and me? ”

"The successor is naturally the son of my lord, but the young lord is young, and the assistant has not yet been determined!" Touman replied with a look of loyalty to Zamu and a firm tone.

"We don't know much about the people of your department, and you and I are familiar with each other, I hope that you will be the assistant, or at least you must be one of the assistants!" Li Mu put forward his request with a worried expression.

"My lord has his own arrangements for this matter, and it is not for me to decide. Besides, maybe it was a misdiagnosis by the witch doctor, and it is still unknown whether the patriarch's body will recover one day! Touman replied reverently.

"Brother Touman's true character of loyalty to the Lord makes me admire!" Li Mu said with admiration: "In this way, I will let the most famous Lang Zhong in Pingcheng go and show your lord!" ”

"Thank you very much!" Tou Man said with gratitude on his face: "I heard that the medical skills of the Central Plains are amazing, my lord may really be saved."

"However, I hope that Brother Touman will still consider my suggestion, and the door of our cooperation will always be open to you!" Li Mu said with a frank expression: "If one day, Brother Touman wants to become the assistant of the young master of your department, inform us, and we will fully support you!" ”

"Thank you, but I don't think it will be that day!" Touman replied with a firm expression.
