Chapter 35: Return to Beijing
At dawn, Chonglou brought back three teenagers, he didn't enter the house, and started a day's training directly at the door. Li Mu couldn't rest assured that Wanniang at home still had a fishing plan that was not on the right track, so he asked Liu Luo to go back to Huaixi County first, and recruit the talents needed by the army while supporting the fishery plan. If he can, bury more Neiying in Huaixi County, and it will be of great use for him to keep it.
Liu Luo had just left with his front foot, and Changyin from the south gate also left. He wants to return to Shangjing immediately, and it is easy to get into chaos without him sitting in Shangjing. Originally, Li Mu also planned to go back to Beijing with him, but was rejected by Chonglou. He is a thorn in the eye of the three major factions, and the three major factions are now ready to move, they have laid ambushes all over the empire I don't know how many eyeliners, but I am afraid that Chonglou will fight as soon as he shows up. Chonglou is not afraid of the three major factions with the Blood River Diagram, but these newly recruited legion reserve members can't withstand the toss, so he plans to transform the legion reserve into a full-fledged legion right here. Then make a plan.
Of course, all this needs to be completed by Li Mu and him. The process is long, two months in the blink of an eye.
Two months later.
In the shelter in front of the village chief's house, Chonglou was very satisfied with the cultivation results of these teenagers in the past two months, and just this morning, the team leader Zhang Jie made a breakthrough, and the cultivation of "Spiral Internal Strength" reached the third level, and at the same time, he also entered the ranks of the second section masters.
In the evening, under the envious eyes of the three team leaders Zhang Chao, Sun Bo and Sun Hang, Sun Qidong, the leader of the fifth group, broke through the third layer of "Spiral Internal Strength" for the second time after Zhang Jie, the team leader. Then, one after another, three days later, nearly half of the entire team made a breakthrough.
Li Mu was not idle, through these two months of cultivation, although his Da Luo Neijing was still stuck in the fourth layer, but the hundred veins around his body were opened up to four, and he felt that he would soon have a big breakthrough.
That morning, Chonglou found Li Mu and told him his thoughts: "The foundation of the members of the legion team is unstable, and they must stop cultivating now to strengthen their foundation. During this time, I will teach them some sword techniques and train them in the combination of swordsmanship and group fighting. I hope you will find a place during this time where we can live in the future. The three major factions are ready to move, the empire will soon change, and we must build an iron bucket city defense territory as soon as possible. ”
Li Mu asked tentatively, "How is Huaixi County in Hai'an Mansion?"
Chonglou's eyes lit up, and he asked another question: "I heard that you have a lot of fishing boats, and islands?"
Li Mu nodded and said, "That's right." If the world is so chaotic that there is nowhere to hide, we can sail away and live on the islands. Speaking of this, he added domineeringly: "On my island, even if the three major factions come together, I can let them come and go." ”
Chonglou regained his confidence, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go and get busy with you, I'll leave everything here." On the day when we will compete for the world, there will be a place for us in this world. ”
Bidding farewell to Chonglou, Li Mu rode a horse to return to Shangjing, and when he walked to the entrance of the village, he met a person. To be precise, a very good-looking man.
"Jiang Fei?"
Li Mu clearly remembered that when he first entered the village, this guy beat up the seriously injured Chonglou. Although he didn't know why he was blocking the way, Li Mu definitely didn't want to provoke this guy.
The body art stream is cultivated in a masochistic way. Because they have to exercise with weights since they were young, there are no particularly tall people in the body art flow, but their movement speed and move speed are no worse than those who cultivate internal strength. Even, they have no internal strength, they can sense the enemy's internal force fluctuations when they are overplaying, but the enemy can't sense them.
The body art stream is a very troublesome genre.
Most of the physical arts streams are the elite of assassination!
According to Chonglou's statement: Jiang Fei's physical skills are almost invincible below six knots.
Below six sections...... On the mainland, he is already a real master.
"I want to go with you. Jiang Fei said his thoughts succinctly. Li Mu was not calm, and pointed at him in surprise and said, "What are you doing with me? I'll go home after a trip to Beijing!"
Jiang Fei was unmoved, nor did he speak, just looked at him so directly, and the two fell silent for a while. The village chief didn't know when he would come out, this little old man was much older than two months ago, and the loss of his son was a very heavy blow. He walked up to Jiang Fei and patted him on the shoulder, sighed, turned his back to Li Mu and said, "Jiang Fei, this child was grown up by me, just like my son. Li boy, take him away, let him protect you, he can help you a lot. ”
He was naturally happy to take Jiang Fei away, but he took Jiang Fei away, what should the village chief do? He said sincerely: "Dad, when I return to Huaixi County and settle down, I hope you can move the village over." After all, I have to take so many people with me, and they all have families, and I don't worry about the rest of the old, weak, sick and disabled surviving in this wilderness. ”
"Thank you. The old village chief's voice was a little choked, and after he finished speaking, he walked a few steps to the village, stood not far from the village gate and waved his hand with his back to the two: "Let's go, we will meet again." ”
Li Mu glanced at Jiang Fei, this guy had already prepared, he was leading the horse of Chonglou. As soon as the two of them pulled the reins, the horse immediately began to run, and in a blink of an eye it was gone, leaving only a cloud of dust.
Shangjing was as prosperous as when Li Mu left, and it did not affect the normal life of the people of the royal capital because of the emergency on the second floor. Li Mu went to Liu Luo's Baron's Mansion first, and after some washing, he went directly to the palace. This time, no one dared to check his waist card, entered the palace, and came to the Imperial Pavilion all the way unimpeded.
Tu, the leader of the guards, was not surprised to see Li Mu, and when Changyin came back from the south gate, he reported the news of Li Mu's safety to the emperor. He bent down slightly and greeted him very politely: "Congratulations to the Duke on his safe return." ”
Li Mu had a smile on his face and said, "Thank you, Leader Tu, and please ask Leader Tu to spread the word, I want to meet the Holy Lord." ”
Tu turned sideways and made a gesture of please: "Your Majesty has a decree, the Duke can directly face the saint when he enters the palace, and there is no need to pass it on." ”
Li Mu thanked him again, and walked into the Imperial Pavilion with Jiang Fei. This is the first time he has walked into the Imperial Pavilion, and I have to say how luxurious the Imperial Pavilion is, I am afraid that any piece of decoration here is made of pure gold...... There are also the carved patterns on the decoration, all of which are from the hand of the master. There are also feng shui calligraphy and paintings, which are really dazzling.
"Father-in-law......" At the entrance of the emperor's bedroom, Li Mu bowed his hand to the chief eunuch of the palace. There is no way, the rights of the eunuchs of all dynasties and dynasties are very great. Giving face is giving face, this eunuch didn't dare to hold it up, so he hurriedly returned a big gift and said, "Lord Duke, Your Majesty has been thinking about you for many days, please come in." ”
Li Mu smiled and nodded, and asked Jiang Fei to stay at the door and push the door himself into the dormitory. The dormitory was very dim, only two candles were beating alive, and then look at the emperor...... Li Mu twitched the corners of his mouth, this old man actually held a letterhead in one hand and a wine glass in the other hand to pour himself a drink.
"See the Emperor!" his voice was so loud that the Emperor was startled. When he saw the person who came, he smiled, beckoned to Li Mu, and said, "Come, come here." ”
Li Mu walked next to the emperor, and the emperor pointed to the letterhead and said, "Ji Gang, that guy is really good, he has recruited 70,000 people in such a short time, plus the 20,000 veterans I have transferred over...... Well, it's just that the Magic Sword Gate is a little troublesome. The meaning of the prince's letter is to take the Ningzhou Mansion and give the Bizhou Mansion to the Demon Daomen. It just so happens that you're back, help me analyze and analyze, is a magic knife gate so terrifying?"
Li Mu secretly said in his heart: You haven't seen the terrifying thing about the Demon Sword Gate. Masters like Chonglou have been beaten and have no place to stay, not to mention your group of soldiers who can only use some crops? After thinking about it, he said: "Your Majesty, since you have delegated your power to the prince, let the prince listen." After all, the future world is his ......"
Li Mu's words are already very clear: when your old man was in power, he divided such a big empire, and if you go to point fingers at your son, I am afraid that I don't know how to die at that time.
The emperor couldn't hear what he meant, coughed embarrassedly, and said, "I'm worried that the crown prince will go to Ningzhou Mansion in a bad name......
Li Mu gave him a move and said, "Then you can reply to the prince, let him train in Bizhou Mansion with peace of mind, and when there is any trouble, he will directly wave his troops to Ningzhou Mansion." Don't forget who you are as a prince...... The crown prince's waving of troops in Ningzhou Mansion is to regain lost territory, what are other people fighting the prince?"
"Yes...... Rebellious ministers and thieves!" The emperor's eyes lit up, and the haze that had accumulated in his psychology was swept away. Subsequently, the emperor asked Li Mu about his future plans. Li Mudao: "I want to go back to Huaixi County, after all, it is my home." Recruit some more soldiers and horses, if the world is really chaotic in the future, I will have some self-protection power, so as not to displace my relatives and friends. ”
The emperor was very emotional, shook his head, and said, "I can't help you with anything, hey." In fact, this country has long been empty, and when I ascended the throne, it was rotten and unpresentable. The reason why I have been able to persist until today is completely because Zuo Xiang and Ji Gang are torn between civil and military officials, which has bought me enough time to plan. ”
After listening to the emperor's words, Li Mu suddenly remembered the old Zhou ...... he saw in Huaixi County That is, Zuo Xiang Zhou, he said that he was going to go to Beijing in the spring of this year, and it seems that he did not want to rebel, but to come back at the beginning of spring to help the emperor stabilize the dynasty.
"What about the Seventeenth Master?" Li Mu suddenly remembered this only friend he had in Shangjing.
The emperor smiled and said, "I am a compatriot with the old seventeen, otherwise how could I hand over the Shangjing garrison to him? ”
