Since being driven to Beizhou by Daxingtai a few years ago, Li Tai has never been to Chang'an.

This is nothing to regret, at the moment in Chang'an City, he has no special feelings, and he has no good memories. If it weren't for the fact that he was going to go with his father-in-law this time and take over the arsenal stored at Li Hu's place, Li Tai still didn't plan to come over.

Unlike the rapid development and changes in other parts of Kansai, the Chang'an City in front of him has not changed significantly compared to Li Tai's memory, it is still a slightly dilapidated and chaotic city located in a depression on the south bank of Weishui, and the intermittent low fence around the city is even more dilapidated than before.

Although today's Chang'an City is also the capital of the Western Wei Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the two dynasties together are in a state of hegemony for more than half of the time, and the emperors have tiles to cover their heads, and Yuwentai's uncle and nephew will not care if they live well or not. On the contrary, Huazhou City, where the overlord is located, has built two palaces, Tongzhou Palace and Changchun Palace.

The city itself has not changed much, but the area around the city is also more prosperous and lively than before. Even Li Tai's manor on Longshou Plain, there are several neighbors around it, and I don't know who bought a house here.

Li Tai has the domineering idea of "how can others snore on the side of the couch", and he just wants to be the nail household of Longshouyuan, but his influence in Jingzhao is really limited, although he is a little unhappy, he does not dare to engage in any violent demolition.

Because Dugu Xin was urged by the travel period and did not have time to stay in Chang'an for a long time, Li Tai did not go to Longshou Yuanzhuang to take a look first, but followed Dugu Xin into the city to visit Li Hu directly.

Li Hu's official position has not changed much, and he still sits in Chang'an and is in charge of the army around Gyeonggi. Because Duguxin had already been summoned before his visit, Li Hu deliberately took a day to wait at home.

They traveled day and night, and at noon the group entered the city. Although Dugu Xin is in a high position, he is not used to being pampered and so on, and not sleeping all night is not a big deal for him, and his spirit is still excellent.

Not to mention Li Tai, when he thought that he was going to take over a military factory with extremely considerable craftsmanship and production capacity, he couldn't close his mouth with excitement, and he didn't feel a trace of tiredness.

The two had just transferred to the long street where Li Hu's house was located, and Li Hu had already led his children to walk out of the house to greet them, and they could be said to be full of face.

Of course, this face was not for Li Tai, and even when Li Hu saw Li Tai riding a horse behind Dugu Xinma, his face immediately fell.

In front of this old man in Wuchuan, Dugu Xin did not make an arrogant posture, and he turned over and dismounted when he was still more than ten zhang away from each other, and at the same time turned around and nodded Li Tai with his eyes.

The two walked from opposite sides, and the distance quickly narrowed, Dugu Xin first smiled and greeted Li Hu with a few words, and then suddenly his face pulled, and he pointed at Li Tai and said in a deep voice: "Reckless boy, don't apologize to Li Kaifu soon!" ”

Li Tai sighed in his heart when he heard this, lowered his head and took a few steps forward, then gave Li Hu a deep look and said: "I am really sorry that I was arrogant and courageous and rashly caused trouble, and I didn't intend to disturb the Longxi Gongqu uneasiness......

"You apologize, and the dead can come back to life? I didn't hurt you, but I was killed by the personnel disturbances you set off! ”

Before Li Hu could answer, the two generals behind him had already pointed at Li Tai and shouted with grief and indignation.

Li Tai was also a little speechless for a while when he heard this sad and angry roar. He hadn't figured it out for a long time before, why did he offend Li Hu again? waited until Duguxin explained that he knew the inside story.

The reason for the incident is still the wave of things he did last winter, the Xianyang Township Regiment guarded and stole themselves, colluded with the monks and soldiers of Hongfa Temple to kidnap Liu Min's troops and the goods and materials he was responsible for escorting.

Li Tai led his own subordinates to help Liu Min recover the lost property, copied the Buddhist temple and complained about the eldest grandson's family by the way. Later, Yuwentai took this opportunity to carry out a round of suppression of the eldest grandson's family, and Li Tai was driven to Beizhou, and he squatted for more than half a year.

This is something that Li Tai knows, but it is not all the trouble. At the very least, Li Tai did not know the results of the handling of the Xianyang Township Regiment who were guarding and stealing.

This matter involved Li Hu, and most of the people in the west of Weibei in were dispatched by Li Hu, including part of the township regiment in Xianyang.

Yuwentai took advantage of this round of turmoil to greatly change the situation in North Korea, and also carried out a round of purging of the Liufang Forbidden Army and the Army. Li Hu sat in Gyeonggi all the year round, and naturally he was not spared, and even several humeral generals were directly executed.

As far as the matter is concerned, Li Tai should not be blamed for this matter, it is blamed on Li Hu's subordinates who were not cautious and clean, and were seized by Yu Wentai under the pretext of the problem, so they were severely sanctioned.

Even blame Li Hu himself, Zhao Gui is addicted to running away on the battlefield, and his subordinates may not all be as honest as water, how can people be okay? Is there a problem with the interaction between you and Daxingtai?

Although this fire was arched by Li Tai, the follow-up operation has nothing to do with him. If Li Hu blames Li Tai for this, it is a bit unreasonable.

Li Hu raised his hand to stop the angry words of the generals of the trilogy, but looked at Li Tai with a calm expression and said in a deep voice: "Governor Li doesn't have to apologize to me, a few of my disciples do have a way to die, even if it is not because of the incident of Governor Li, it is inevitable that they will be dragged and punished by others." ”

Li Tai's heartstrings eased when he heard this, and he said again: "Longxi Gong can think like this, that is really ......"

"However, although I don't blame Li Dadu for this, I am also resentful, and I can't treat you politely. There are no guest seats for Li Boshan in this portal, sorry. ”

Li Hu raised his hand to interrupt Li Tai's words, although his tone was restrained, he could also hear the deep resentment, and at the end of the speech, he turned his eyes to Dugu Xin: "If you wish to visit me before you go to town, I will naturally treat you with courtesy." But if you're going to introduce disgust into my household, I'm sorry for losing hospitality. ”

Dugu Xin can understand Li Hu's current mood, such as his own subordinate Yang Zhong and the like, who died because of some personnel involvement, even if he really deserved it, he probably wouldn't forgive the person who provoked the incident. After all, emotional likes and dislikes are not based on right and wrong.

But Li Hu said it so directly, which also made Duguxin a little embarrassed, and glanced at Li Tai a little unpleasantly, but he still had to be patient to wipe his ass for this beloved son-in-law.

He motioned for Li Tai to stand here first, and he took a step forward, grabbed Li Hu's wrist and said: "Please Brother Wenbin borrow a step, let me talk to you about a few things, if it still doesn't fit my brother's arms, I will go with Boshan and no longer disturb you." ”

Li Hu still had some resistance between his eyebrows, but after hesitating for a moment, he still gave Dugu Xin a face, first invited his people into the side hall of the house to sit down, and retreated a cadre of waiters and servants to start a conversation.

Li Tai stood outside the door of Li Hu's house, looking inward at the angry eyes of his generals, a little curious about what Dugu Xin wanted to discuss with Li Hu. Whether he can get along with Li Hu or not, he doesn't care much, anyway, Li Hu's son is destined to be behind him in the future, and what he is most concerned about now is whether the entrusted military factory can be completely returned.

In the hall, the two talked for about half an hour, and under Dugu Xin's repeated persuasion, Li Hu's expression eased, and he raised his hand to summon a protégé and ordered Li Tai to be invited in.

Li Tai walked into the hall, and apologized to Li Hu for hugging his fists under Duguxin's eyes, Li Hu did not resist this time, although his expression was still stiff, but he still said: "Don't mention the past, Li Dadu will sit down." ”

Seeing that the effect of the old father-in-law's lobbying was so immediate, Li Tai suddenly became suspicious in his heart, and became more and more curious about what Duguxin said to Li Hu, don't you want to be a pair of king-makers and elect me to work hard with the Yuwen family? I can do this, from now on, not only He Liuhun, but you Li Hu are also my big brother!

There is no shortage of reverie here, and Li Hu has already spoken: "The smelting and casting workshop, now moving to Xianyang to operate, compared to the old year when it was entrusted with some personnel changes, is generally still maintained. When Governor Li has time, I will take a look at the staff and be ready to hand over at any time. ”

Li Tai felt that the sooner the better, but he was not too anxious, so he looked at Dugu Xin, and Dugu Xin said with a smile: "Although he was entrusted back then, he privately wanted to give it to Brother Wen Bin, but at that time, he didn't expect that his children would have a long love debt, and now he has a cheeky face to ask for it, and he has secretly felt ashamed, and his brother can be caught at any time." ”

Li Hu glanced at the pair of Weng sons-in-law, and couldn't help but sigh slightly: "I forgot to congratulate you two, the good fate is Jiading, and it complements each other!" ”

"Thank you, thank you Brother Wenbin, I also wish my brother a quick delivery of the indoors!"

After Dugu Xin heard this, he said with a smile, and soon after, the servants in Li Hu's family brought in the wine and food, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves between pushing the cup and changing the lamp.

When he left Li Hu's house, Dugu Xin was already slightly drunk, and he was in a good mood, and when Li Tai helped him on the horse, he patted Li Tai on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Hurry, hurry, don't stay in the city!" If the courtiers know that I am returning to Beijing, they will be troubled again! ”

Although Dugu Xin has a house in Beijing, he doesn't want to stay overnight, and Li Tai can only lead him to rest for one night on Longshou Plain outside the city.

He was still curious about how Dugu Xin persuaded Li Hu to accept him again, but Dugu Xin just shook his head and didn't say anything, but his eyes were full of smiles and satisfaction when he looked at Li Tai, and said to Li Tai: "Li Wenbin seems to be unsmiling and difficult to get along, but he is not a villain who loves conspiracy and danger. Getting along with such a person can make people save their energy, avoid suspicion, and get tired of getting along for a long time. ”

It's just that his life is a little shorter, Li Tai said secretly in his heart.
