The two walked into the main hall together, and as soon as they entered the door, Li Shimin sat on the chair regardless of his image, and said to Chu Mofeng: "Tell me about this trip to Mayi, so that I can analyze the next move." ”

Looking at Li Shimin's expectant look, Chu Mofeng ordered his subordinates to serve tea, then closed the door of the main hall, walked to Li Shimin's side, poured him full of tea, and said slowly: "It's not impossible to tell you, but I have a request, if you agree, I will speak." ”

Hearing Chu Mofeng say this, Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh, and then said: "Brother, you say, as long as I can do it, I will definitely meet your requirements." ”

Chu Mofeng nodded and said: "I know that you and Uncle Li will definitely rise up against the Sui, in fact, my request is very simple, if one day you or Uncle Li sit in that position, I hope that your Li family can come forward to rehabilitate those loyal ministers of the Sui Dynasty who were unjustly killed by Emperor Yang of the Sui, and return them to a clear name." ”

Hearing Chu Mofeng make such a request, Li Shimin couldn't help but freeze in place, he didn't react for a while, and after a while, he seemed to understand the meaning of the other party's request, and couldn't help nodding, then stood up and raised three fingers and said: "The yellow sky is above, the thick soil is below, today I, Li Shimin, swear, if one day I become a great treasure, I will definitely rehabilitate those loyal ministers who were wrongfully killed by Yang Guang, and if I break my word, I will be punished by God!"

Seeing that Li Shimin swore an oath, Chu Mofeng added a sentence faintly: "Brother Shimin, since I have decided to help you, I must believe in you wholeheartedly, but if you break your promise, you don't need to be punished, I will end you with my own hands." ”

Hearing Chu Mofeng's threat, Li Shimin didn't care, just rolled his eyes slightly and said, "I said that you kid can't be tactful, such an exciting scene just now, your words instantly became cold." ”

"Tactfulness is only for outsiders and those with bad intentions, and being honest with my own people is my code of conduct. Chu Mofeng looked at Li Shimin lightly, thinking that what I just said was true, if you can't do it, no one will be able to escape the full pursuit of the other side flower.

Hearing that Chu Mofeng regarded himself as his own, Li Shimin's heart was moved, and after taking the tea and drinking it in one gulp, he motioned to Chu Mofeng to continue to pour it for himself, and after Chu Mofeng picked up the teapot and filled it again, he said the process of this trip to Mayi word for word.

When mentioning Chen Xiaoyi, the county of Yanmen County, Li Shimin said with emotion: "Don't look at the annoyance of a building between Jinyang and Yanmen, in fact, Chen Xiaoyi and I also had a relationship, in the eleventh year of the Great Cause, when I went to Yanmen Pass with Yun Dingxing Yunshuai to rescue Yang Guang's house, the army was stationed near Yanmen County for a few days. ”

"At that time, I went to Yanmen County with Yun Shuai, at that time, the entire Yanmen County was able to do not close the door at night, because the local area is close to Yanmen Pass and the people are fierce, so most of the defenders of Yanmen Pass are locals, who can endure hardships and fight, who knows that it fell into the hands of Yang Guang's house, and the good troops are rotten. Finding that the teacup in front of him was empty again, and Chu Mofeng forgot to add tea to himself, Li Shimin had to grab the teapot and pour a cup by himself.

Hearing that Li Shimin had just mentioned the trouble of the building, Chu Mofeng stood up and walked to the window, stretched out his hand to push the window open, and the cold air at the end of February suddenly rushed in through the gap in the window, even if there was a brazier in the house, it would not help. Blown by the cold wind, Chu Mofeng's head suddenly sobered up a lot.

Turning to look at Li Shimin, who was a little trembling, he said: "Brother Shimin, there is something to trouble you to go back and report to Uncle Li this time, Liu Wuzhou may raise troops to attack Loufu County at the beginning of next month, so that his old man can prepare early." ”

"Where did you get this information? Is the information reliable? Do you know that in the early stage of the march, the army relied on intelligence spying, and if the news is not accurate, the two armies will suffer losses in the battle at that time. Hearing that Chu Mofeng said that Liu Wuzhou was going to attack Lou Fu, Li Shimin's brows tightly twisted into a pimple, and he thought about the next countermeasure in his heart.

Seeing this, Chu Mofeng only looked like this because he couldn't confirm whether the news was accurate, and hurriedly told what happened to his group outside Loufu County.

After listening to Chu Mofeng's narration, Li Shimin said with a smile: "It seems that the daughter of the garrison of Loufu County is also a heroine, and you have done a good job." Then he shook his head and said with a sad face: "If Liu Wuzhou attacks Loufu County, the imperial court will definitely send the Jinyang defenders to conquer it, and if we resist the decree and do not obey it, then Wang Wei and Gao Junya, the deputy guards of Taiyuan, will report us to the imperial court." ”

Suddenly hearing two unfamiliar names, Chu Mofeng couldn't help but be stunned, thinking to himself, Aren't you Lao Tzu the biggest official in Taiyuan? Where did these two goods come from, and what you mean by this, can these two people still control you Lao Tzu? Thinking of this, he asked with a puzzled face: "What kind of characters are Wang Wei and Gao Junya, the deputy left-behind guards of Taiyuan, who were mentioned just now? Are they very tricky? Do we need to come forward to solve them?"

In fact, Li Shimin didn't want to get rid of these two people, but because the preparations in the early stage had not yet been put in place, he could only grit his teeth and keep these two people, and then waved his hand at Chu Mofeng and said: "Don't use it for the time being, brother I won't let you go out on a mission casually in the near future, you can repair for a while first." ”

Chu Mofeng nodded, and then as if he had thought of something, he walked straight to Li Shimin, and said with a sly smile: "This mission is ......" and then stretched out the thumb and index finger of his right hand and twisted it.

Li Shimin laughed out loud when he saw this, and the tea in his mouth squirted all over the ground, "I said why are you such a philistine, let's take a walk, I'll take you to your backyard to see the good things I brought you." After speaking, he didn't care about wiping the water stains on his clothes, got up and pulled Chu Mofeng to the backyard of Chu Mansion.

At this time, a group of warblers and Yanyan gathered in the flower hall were sitting together drinking tea and eating pastries, and Mrs. Chen's mother and daughter and Yu Wenxiu were also present at the banquet, only to see Yu Wenxiu and Shi Hanshuang sitting together, talking to each other and not knowing what they were saying, and from time to time there was a sneering laughter.

Chen Jingqing on the side pulled Chen Yuer with curiosity on her face, and kept putting food in front of her, perhaps because she had no father, and she was a person with the same surname, and the two seemed to have an inexplicable good impression of each other. Chen Yu'er looked back and forth at the people sitting around with a pair of big eyes, and asked Chen Jingqing something from time to time.

And Mo Ziyao pulled Mrs. Chen to talk on the side, while Liu Feiyan, Gu Zhen'er and Xiao Ruolan got together to chat about the trip to Mayi.

I only heard Mo Ziyao say to Mrs. Chen: "Auntie, I have a reluctant request for the little girl, please forgive me in a hurry." ”

Mrs. Chen looked at the woman in front of her, who was only twenty-eight years old, and sighed in her heart that she was already half the master of the house at such a young age. ”

Mo Ziyao nodded, and after smiling, her red lips lightly opened and said: "The little girl originally discussed with Sister Shuang'er and her husband to let Mrs. and Sister Yu'er settle in Jinyang, but after Li Xiaozi came today, I suddenly felt that the previous decision was a little inconsiderate, so I would like to ask for your opinion, if you are willing to settle in Jinyang, then the rest of the affairs will be handled by the government, if you are not willing to settle in Jinyang, then the government can escort you two to Zhangye to settle down." ”

After listening to Mo Ziyao's words, Mrs. Chen pondered for a moment and said, "You go ahead and I'll listen to your thoughts." ”

Seeing that Mrs. Chen didn't say anything, Mo Ziyao nodded and continued: "I have also heard about the process of this trip to Ma Yi by Fu Jun and others, since Liu Wuzhou can't help but want to capture Loufu County, then once he occupies Loufu, the next target must be Jinyang, when the war spreads, I am afraid that the government will not take good care of the safety of the two of you." ”

Mrs. Chen nodded and said: "What you said is not unreasonable, my lord suffered this catastrophe this time, which also indirectly confirmed Liu Wuzhou's prodigal ambition, but why did he settle in Zhangye?"

"Madame doesn't know, my husband has been operating in Zhangye with his masters since the third year of Daye due to some coincidences, and it has been more than 14 years so far, and it is too much to say, Zhangye at this time can be regarded as our base camp, so it is safe for you two to settle there. ”

Hearing that Mo Ziyao only mentioned herself and Yu'er throughout the article, but didn't mention anything about Yu Wenxiu, Mrs. Chen couldn't help but ask with a puzzled face: "Miss Ziyao, is this child Xiu'er also going to Zhangye with us?"

"Please forgive me, madam, what my husband means is that Sister Xiu'er will stay here, after all, what we have to do in the future is a big thing, and one more person to help will have more strength. Mo Ziyao shook her head and told Chu Mofeng's arrangement to Yu Wenxiu.

Yu Wenxiu, who was on the side, heard the conversation between the two and mentioned herself, and hurriedly raised her head and said to Mrs. Chen: "Auntie, Sister Ziyao didn't just mean that kid, I also talked to him about this issue along the way, and I insisted on staying here." ”

As soon as Mo Ziyao opened her mouth, Mrs. Chen understood what they were going to do in the future, looking at the group of girls in their twenties, she couldn't help but secretly say in her heart, what is wrong with this world, how can such a group of handsome women do that rebellion, or not, since they can have a stable residence in the second half of their lives, why not do it.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Chen's eyes lit up, and she said to Mo Ziyao: "Since this is the case, then Yu'er and I will leave for Zhangye in a while." ”

Seeing that Mrs. Chen adopted her suggestion, Mo Ziyao hurriedly got up and gave her a big salute and said: "Ziyao thanks Mrs. for her understanding, then the house will prepare a pair of gold and silver for Mrs. later, and at that time, it will also send a letter to Zhangye in advance. ”

After solving this big problem, the atmosphere in the house suddenly became lively, and Chu Mofeng, who was in the backyard, was even more excited when he saw the gift brought by Li Shimin, and he held the gift list in his hand and read it several times, and then said to Li Shimin excitedly: "You said that you are really, I am just joking with you, you have really prepared so many things, which makes me a little embarrassed." ”

"You just take it, I know that espionage is usually the hardest thing to do, and if you are not careful, it will kill you, so you deserve it. Li Shimin stuffed the gift slip in Chu Mofeng's hand into his arms, and said to him with a smile: "Since everything that is going to be sent has been delivered, and everything you want to know is known, then I won't bother here today, I have to go back quickly to report these news to my father, and ask him to decide everything." ”

Seeing that Li Shimin insisted on leaving, Chu Mofeng knew that he must have something important to do when he went back this time, so he didn't keep it anymore, "Then I'll send you, and when I have the opportunity, remember to bring my sister-in-law to the house as a guest." ”

Li Shimin nodded, and the two of them walked quickly to the gate, only to see Li Shimin stop Chu Mofeng's footsteps and said: "Our two mansions are so close, there is no need to send them again, and when my eldest brother and Yuanji come back in a while, I will ask you to come over the house again." Be sure to introduce them to you at that time. Farewell!"

Looking at Li Shimin's distant figure, Chu Mofeng remembered the gift list in his arms, and couldn't help laughing, thinking that this kid really didn't take the inventory in Jinyang's warehouse seriously.

At this time, it was already the end of February, and it was about to enter March, Chu Mofeng shifted his attention to Loufu County, which was not far from Jinyang, and instructed Li Shimin to always inquire about the movements of Loufu.

At the beginning of March, Chu Mofeng and his entourage sent Mrs. Chen and Chen Yu'er on the passenger ship to Zhangye at Jinyang Wharf, and sent a letter to Qingli and others before, instructing them to take care of Mrs. Chen over there and send Mrs. Chen's mother and daughter away, Chu Mofeng decided to start reorganizing his forces and prepare for the future war.

In early March, Liu Wuzhou, the emperor of the anti-thief pseudo-emperor Dingyang of Mayi, finally attacked Lou Fu County with a total of 100,000 troops in the two counties in the expectation of everyone, because Lou Fu had already received the news and prepared in advance, resulting in Liu Wuzhou's offensive was once blocked, the whole campaign lasted for ten days, and finally ended with Lou Fu County running out of ammunition and food, so far Ma Yi, Yanmen, and Lou Fu three counties all fell into the hands of Liu Wuzhou, and the three counties were arrows until Li Yuan guarded Taiyuan.

After Liu Wuzhou captured Loufu, he sent an envoy to the Turks, intending to unite with the Turks to invade the land of the Great Sui from north to south. After Chu Mofeng learned of this, he scolded in the mansion: "If you don't kill this thief in your lifetime, you will not be a person." ”

Emperor Yang of Sui, who was in Jiangnan at this time, was furious when he heard about this and wanted to bring Li Yuan to Jiangdu to punish the crime. In this critical situation, Li Yuan said to Li Shimin: "The matter is urgent, and it can be done. ”

His surrounding henchmen Pei Lian, Xu Shixu, and Wu Shiwei also persuaded Li Yuan to raise troops, and seeing that his subordinates supported him, Li Yuan finally made up his mind to oppose Sui.

Immediately, under the pretext of guarding against Liu Wuzhou and the Turks, Li Yuan sent Li Shimin, Liu Wenjing, Changsun Shunde, Liu Hongji and others to recruit troops in various places, and thousands of people were recruited within ten days. After the soldiers and horses were in place, Li Yuan sent people to Hedong to recall his sons Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji.

That night, Li Yuan and Li Shimin, father and son, summoned Chu Mofeng to the house, and the three of them discussed in the study all night, what did the three of them discuss, Li Yuan did not mention anything when he died, and when Li Shimin died of illness, he did not mention a word, as for Chu Mofeng, he revealed a few words to his children many years later......

In the early morning of the second day, Chu Mofeng dragged his tired body back to his mansion. Mo Ziyao, who was about to go out to the hospital for a consultation, saw him come back, and hurriedly instructed Zhao Zhao to order the kitchen to prepare some food, and then woke up Shi Hanshuang and hurriedly went out.

Sitting in the main hall and slowly drinking the porridge in the bowl, Chu Mofeng couldn't help but recall a long conversation last night, and it wasn't until the end that Chu Mofeng said his true identity, hearing that Chu Mofeng was Gao Xi's son, Li Yuan couldn't help but burst into tears, everyone in the world knew that Gao Xi's family members were nowhere to be found, and they all thought that they had already died on the way to migration and exile, but who could know that the famous leader of the other side flower on the rivers and lakes, Yasha, was Gao Xi's youngest son.

At this point, Li Shimin also understood why Chu Mofeng asked him to correct his name for those loyal ministers of the Sui Dynasty who were unjustly killed.

In fact, the three of them broke up unhappily that night, and the problem was that Li Yuan also had the intention of uniting the Turks, and Chu Mofeng was quite resistant to this, and wanted to turn around and leave, but under Li Shimin's hard persuasion, he agreed to cooperate with Li Yuan's father and son to rebel.

At this time, Shi Hanshuang sat beside Chu Mofeng, quietly watching him drink porridge one by one, looking at his husband's somewhat haggard face, Shi Hanshuang felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand and slowly caress his face.

Seeing his wife make such a move, Chu Mofeng put down the chopsticks in his hand, hugged her into his arms and said: "Shuang'er, I don't know whether it is right or wrong to go to this road at this time, but there is no turning back when I open the bow, since I have chosen this road, I have to go on without hesitation." ”

"Fool, don't think about what you have and don't, let the future generations judge whether you are right or wrong, you just need to have a clear conscience, no matter what you decide, the whole family will take your sword as the direction of progress, and I can go back to the master to ask for help when necessary." Finding a comfortable position for himself to lean on Chu Mofeng's arms, Shi Hanshuang pressed his cheek to his chest, quietly feeling his heartbeat.

When the two of them were warming up, the door was suddenly pushed open, and they saw Mu Mu and Zhao Zhao walking in, and when they saw the appearance of the two, they hurriedly covered their eyes and shouted: "Master, big lady, the slaves and maids didn't see anything." After saying that, he turned his head and ran towards the door.

Seeing this, Shi Hanshuang hurriedly jumped out of Chu Mofeng's arms, straightened up and tidied up, and instantly returned to the majestic appearance of the eldest lady of Chu Mansion, and shouted: "Stop, what kind of body is it that is reckless, come here." ”

Hearing the eldest lady's words, the two stepped forward tremblingly, and they didn't dare to bow their heads and wait for Shi Hanshuang's lecture.

I only heard Shi Hanshuang say: "Is there something wrong with coming in at this time?"

"Back to the eldest lady, the housekeeper of the Li Mansion next door sent a post, saying that he invited the master to come to the mansion today, this is a post. Mu Mu heard his master's question, and hurriedly handed over the post in his arms.

Chu Mofeng saw that the two little girls were frightened, and said with a smile: "Okay, Shuang'er, there are no outsiders here, so there is no need to be like this." Then he said to the two: "Don't care, the eldest lady is to scare you, go down first." ”

The two hurriedly retired as if they had been amnestied, Chu Mofeng took the post and looked at it for a long time, and suddenly said with a smile: "It should be Xiao Lizi's brother and younger brother who are back, then I will go to meet the remaining two sons of the Li family tonight." ”

"Husband, the eldest grandson girl once said that the Li family originally had four sons, and the third Li Xuanba passed away last year, so you will never be the third child of the Li family. After saying that, he covered his mouth and snickered.

"yes, it's a pity that a martial idiot died so young. Hearing Shi Hanshuang's words, Chu Mofeng remembered that Li Shimin really loved his third brother, and if this son was alive, then he could also add a boost to the Li family's rebellion.

Shaking his head and putting aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, Chu Mofeng got up and returned to his room to start preparing the gifts to bring to the banquet tonight, and after everything was ready, he sat on the chair and waited for the time to pass, while thinking about the plan of action for the future.

At the beginning of the night, the inner courtyard of the Li Mansion was brightly lit, and there were already two tables of banquets in the main hall, Li Yuan stood in the main hall dressed in brocade clothes and chatted with the people beside him, while Li Shimin stood at the door, waiting for the next person to come to report.

At this time, a man with a great figure and a handsome face walked up to Li Shimin's side and said with a smile: "Why is the second brother so anxious, since you sent someone to send an invitation, then presumably your brother will definitely come to the banquet." ”

This person is Li Shimin's eldest brother, Li Yuan's eldest son Li Jiancheng, hearing his eldest brother comforting himself, Li Shimin turned to Li Jiancheng and smiled, and said slowly: "Big brother doesn't know, this Chu brother is not an ordinary person, when my father was besieged by Zhen Zhai'er at that time, if it wasn't for Brother Chu and his friends risking death to save him, it is estimated that you and I will never see my father at this time." Then he told Li Jiancheng about Chu Mofeng's six men and six horsemen who rushed to kill 10,000 people.

Li Jiancheng nodded and was about to speak, but a very discordant voice came from behind him, listening to the voice, he knew that this person must be a cold villain, "Isn't it just a group of Jianghu rangers? Second brother, what you said is too mysterious, if it is really so powerful, then what else is the matter with us?"

"Why did the third brother say this? This matter is not only out of my mouth, but also from my father and the soldiers under his command, how can it be supernatural?" Seeing that it was his younger brother Li Yuanji, Li Shimin felt a burst of irritability in his heart for no reason.

I saw a man who looked no different from ordinary people walking out from behind Li Jiancheng, looking at Li Shimin with a sneer, this son was Li Yuan's youngest son, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin's younger brother Li Yuanji.

"Second brother, you are confused, I am not the third, the third passed away last year. Hearing Li Shimin call himself his third brother, Li Yuanji retorted disdainfully, "I don't dare to compete for a position with that guy, I ....."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Li Shimin walk forward and raise his hand, and slapped Li Yuanji's face with a big mouth, and then said with an angry expression: "Bastard, how can you say that, how can you say that Xuanba is your brother, besides, he has passed away, you are disrespectful to a deceased brother, have you fed the sage books you have read all these years?"

Seeing Li Shimin smacking his big mouth, Li Yuanji covered his face and looked at him angrily, the displeasure in his eyes flashed, involving Li Xuanba's matter, Li Jiancheng on the side didn't know what to say, and when the three brothers were embarrassed, someone outside the door came to report that Chu Mofeng had arrived.

Hearing that Chu Mofeng had arrived, Li Shimin hurriedly turned around and went out, at this time Li Yuanji said to Li Jiancheng: "Big brother, you don't care if the second brother beats me, do you still think this is a child?"

"Yuanji, it's really your fault that the matter of Fang Cai, besides, the four of us brothers, you and I are getting closer, but the second child and Xuanba are very good, what do you say I should say?" Li Jiancheng shook his head helplessly, turned around and walked in the direction of Li Yuan.

Li Shimin led Chu Mofeng to the door of the main hall, and Li Yuan in the crowd couldn't help but laugh when he saw Chu Mofeng coming, and said to everyone in the house: "Everyone, the old man recommended a young man to you today, it is precisely because this son went to rescue the old man regardless of his personal safety that he was able to let the old man survive until now." ”

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other when they heard Li Yuan's words, and they all looked around for the person Li Yuan introduced, Li Yuan saw this and walked quickly to the door, took Chu Mofeng's hand and walked into the house and said loudly: "Don't look for it, the young man Junjie that the old man said is here." ”

When everyone heard Li Yuan's words, they raised their heads and looked in the direction of the door, only to see a thin and handsome young man standing next to Li Yuan, with a pair of eyes blazing, and the whole person stood there with a posture of neither humility nor arrogance, everyone was happy when they saw this, and they all guessed which young man could get Li Yuan's favor.

I saw this person step forward, saluted everyone, and then spoke......

There is a way that the situation of the fall of Lou Fu is changing, and the Jinyang Mutiny is imminent, I want to know what will happen next, and look at the next decomposition......
