When Li Tai returned to Luochuanfang, most of the chaotic and huge felt tent shantytowns outside the city were gone, replaced by some well-planned camps.

These camps are enclosed by bamboo and wood fences, and each occupies a boxy area, guarding the perimeter of the fortified city like a vegetable furrow. There are hundreds of households in the house, and dozens of families in the house, each living in separate accounts, which seems to be orderly, and the chaotic scene when Li Tai returned before is no longer the same.

"It's just been a few months, and a mere defense city is even more lively and prosperous than my state!"

Li Mu, who returned to Beijing with Li Tai and passed through here, couldn't help but hum after seeing the inside and outside of the city, a little unable to believe what he saw.

Li Tai just smiled after hearing this, and was also quite proud of Pei Hong and other members of the former capital water clan for their efforts in governing the people, if it were not for this group of subordinates to do their work, I am afraid that the situation here would not be reversed in a short period of time.

Li Mu himself did not intend to serve in Dongxia Prefecture for a long time, and he lacked the prestige and channels to attract the current of the times, and there was no one available under his command, although he had a high position, it was difficult to give full play to his powers, and it was natural that the control and development of the governance office was not as good as Li Tai.

When the Taiwanese government summoned to Beizhou, the time had already reached the beginning of the lunar month. Li Tai originally thought that he had just come back, and he didn't plan to go back, but he didn't expect that he still had himself on the list, and it was specifically noted that he was going to participate in the Yuanyue Dynasty Meeting.

This news is both good and bad for Li Tai, the good side is that since it is specifically stated that he wants to participate in the court meeting, it is obviously not because the emperor misses him, most of them are going to be rewarded. Although Li Tai is more concerned about whether the actual authority can be significantly improved, even if it is only a false progress, he does not reject it, at least it is majestic enough.

The bad side is naturally his own doing, not to mention that the eldest grandson family who offended before has many protégés and former officials distributed in the Liufang Forbidden Army, and when he went to Chang'an before, he also offended the prince of the dynasty by the way. So this trip to Chang'an is also a very exciting thing for him, no less than Yuwentai's mood.

And he still has a mess of things at the moment, the personnel arrangements for the addition of a defense, the migration of the withered Yin Liu family, etc., although the subordinates can also do it for him, but after all, he is the most down-to-earth when he looks at it, so he is not very happy to embark on such a situation, and he is in full swing to do business, even if he calls me to go back to Zen Rang, it is impossible to see this posture Zen Concession to me!

But Li Mu's mood was completely different from him, he had been very excited since the end of the previous war, and when the summons arrived, he couldn't wait for a while, and when he rushed to Heishui Fangcheng, he urged Li Tai to set off on the road quickly.

When passing through Luochuan Fangcheng, seeing that the household management was effective, Li Taizheng was about to stop and enter the city to explain some details, but Li Mu couldn't wait, and waved his hand again and again to say that he could stand the pain of the wind and snow on the way, and he didn't need to go into the city to rest at all.

Li Tai was also a little helpless about this, so he could only call Pei Hong and others out, and after explaining some measures along the way, he then ordered them to hurry back to the city to implement them, and then return to the city to inspect after the New Year.

Although Li Mu returned to his heart like an arrow, but a blizzard along the way delayed the trip for two days, when they arrived at the stone fort defense in the lower reaches of Luoshui, the time was already in the middle of the month, if they rushed to the direction of Huazhou Bafu, they would inevitably miss the honor of Daxingtai, so they could only turn around and enter Beijing from Weibei through Baishui.

Li Tai dispatched more than 300 elite soldiers to follow him into Beijing in Shibaofang, and at the same time, he couldn't help but sigh that after the completion of the Sanfang City, he gradually felt like a fish in water in Guanxi, and sure enough, there were soldiers and guns to not panic.

Regardless of whether he will develop his power in Chang'an in the future, the construction of the manor on Longshou Yuan still has to speed up the process, otherwise it will be in vain!

Li Mu didn't have so many chaotic thoughts as Li Tai, but as the trip got closer to Chang'an, the more anxious his mood became, and he scolded the accompanying house slaves from time to time, and asked Li Tai some strange questions from time to time, such as pointing to the new skin on his body and asking: "How is Boshan looking at my outfit?" Can you intimidate the masses on the day of entering Beijing? ”

If Li Tai remembers correctly, this is the third piece of Dayu that he has changed in a day, and looking at the size of his luggage, if it is loaded with this kind of fur, then at least more than ten pieces have not been seen, and he felt a little unbearable for a while, why didn't he feel that Li Mu was so sullen before? Li Yan's kid occasionally tricks weird thinking, which can be regarded as tracing back to the source!

He is indeed a little strange, it is not the first time for Li Mu to be rewarded for meritorious service, the previous battle of the river bridge almost single-handedly saved the boss's life is not greater than this time? Why are you still so undecided?

Li Tai estimated that after the battle of the river bridge was opened, the threshold of this guy was directly pulled too high, so that the stimulation brought by ordinary small things was not enough to make him feel excited easily, this time this kind of performance in addition to the sullen background in his bones, he was probably really hungry and thirsty for too long, and he was eager to miss the highlight moment of his life.

The group crossed the river from the pontoon bridge in Weibei to the south, and Li Tai wanted to return to Longshou Yuanzhuang for one night first, and then enter the city tomorrow morning to meet Daxingtai, who had arrived in Chang'an.

Li Mu, who was anxious to enter Beijing, stopped him, and hinted a lot in his words that the guards' interrogation was meticulous and the attitude was very different from usual when they passed through the river bridge just now, and there was a move to send people to spread the word to other places, which was not like the appearance of receiving ordinary people entering Beijing.

Li Tai wished that others would not know that he had come to Chang'an, let alone expect any grand welcome ceremony, but under Li Mu's insistence, he could only go to Chang'an City with him.

In a large city such as Chang'an, people come and go frequently, so there are often some pavilions and buildings near the avenue outside the city for the purpose of welcoming and sending them off.

Today, the pavilions on both sides of the eastern avenue of Chang'an City are also very lively, and some families even set up their own tents for use. After all, Chang'an is the capital of the country, and the New Year is approaching, and there are always people who enter Beijing for various reasons.

When there was still some distance from here, Li Mu sent the house slave to take the first step to visit, probably to find the greeting team arranged by the imperial court rite secretary here, but Li Mu was disappointed to see nothing of the house slave.

He still refused to be selfish, and walked slowly in this area, and suddenly several fresh-clothed Haonu Dao walked out to the left, and asked loudly from afar: "Dare to ask, but is it Li Yuanjun who returned to the dynasty in Beizhou to ask for Hu to return to the dynasty victoriously?" ”

Although Li Mu didn't look like some kind of government officials in these people's clothes, it was better than no one caring, so he bowed his head slightly and said, "Yes, I am Li Yuanjun." ”

Several slaves were overjoyed when they heard this, but their master arranged for them to wait here, leaving two to guide them, and the rest hurried back to report the news. Li Tai saw that these people were a little familiar, and he was about to ask the servants of the He family, but when he saw that Li Mu had already set his horse to follow, he could only go up with him.

"Boshan, I finally saw you, but I've been waiting here for a long time!"

Without turning around, several slaves who reported the news went and returned, and behind them was Yuwen Hu's fellow lieutenant Chi Gang, and Yuwen Hu waved his hand to Li Tai in the distance, and then noticed Li Mu who was walking in the front and looked slightly embarrassed, and then hugged his fists and saluted: "It turns out that Duke Wu An also walked with Boshan and entered Beijing together today, and it happened that I set up a banquet in the palace to wash the dust and comfort the returnees who traveled far away, so Duke Wu An might as well come with me?" ”

Li Mu was looking forward to the ceremony of welcoming the heroes with great expectations, but when he heard that he had to rub Li Tai's face even if he wanted to eat a mouthful of hot rice after entering Beijing, his mood suddenly became even more unbeautiful, and he shook the horsewhip in his hand slightly, but still maintained a solemn posture and said: "I am duty-bound, how dare I talk about my work." Since he has returned to Beijing, he has been worshipping the Lord for the first time to say goodbye to things, and the pool is warmly invited, but he really dare not be. Boshan, what do you say? ”

What did I say? What I said, you listened!

After Li Tai heard this, he suddenly became angry, you guy should listen to me earlier, we have already eaten hot soup and rice in my manor, as for the hot face and cold ass here? Now that my brother Sabao has invited me to the banquet, you still have to talk to me and not let me go!"

Although he was in a very unhappy mood, he could only smile apologetically at Yuwen Hu and said: "What Gong Wu An said is reasonable, I can only thank Brother Sabao for his enthusiasm in welcoming him from afar after meeting the Lord." ”

At this time, Wei Chigang, who had never spoken, stepped forward under the signal of Yuwen Hu's eyes, hugged his fist at Li Tai and said in a deep voice: "Daxingtai entered the palace today, and His Majesty the Emperor will feast together on the return of the country." If Li Lang refuses to accept the invitation because of the story, I apologize to you today, and I hope that you can apologize solemnly after returning to Brother Sabao's mansion regardless of your past suspicions! ”

After listening to Wei Chigang's words, Li Tai and Li Mu's faces changed slightly, but the focus of their concern was different. Li Taizheng took the initiative to apologize to the fox and suspected that Wei Chi Gang had taken the initiative to apologize, according to what he saw, this guy was by no means a good character who changed his mistakes and knew how to be polite.

Li Mu was a little surprised and exclaimed: "What kind of person with great merit returns to Beijing, and he must be given a banquet and received by His Majesty?" ”

These words are both a little suspicious, of course, there is no lack of full taste, isn't Lao Tzu's fight in Beizhou called credit? What kind of credit can make the imperial court so generous!

"The former gave the Huangmen squire Shen Hui as the ambassador of Hexi and patrolled Guazhou, and with the cooperation of the big clans in the other realm, he captured the thief Deng Yan of Guazhou in one fell swoop without the strength of the country, and the government and the opposition were overjoyed......"

Yuwen Hu could sense Li Mu's thoughts, and explained after hearing the words.

"There is such a thing!"

Li Mu was shocked when he heard this, and Li Tai's eyes lit up, knowing that this incident marked the beginning of a series of order adjustments in Longyou Hexi, and the power of the old man Duguxin would also reach a new height.

During this period of time, the personnel resources and power that Dugu Xin has in his hands are really considerable, at least Weng and his son-in-law will not continue to hide each other's marriage contracts because of jealousy.
