You may not be able to stand being under the sun all day and night, and in such weather, you can't stand it even more.

There were very few pedestrians on the road, only dry branches and leaves that were too dry to wake up from the sun.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way."

A man was riding a big horse, very big, and it was running wildly on the road, panting heavily, without caring for the horse at all.

When the people around saw such a rampant person, they naturally ran away quickly, because if these people went crazy, they would be in trouble.

The sun is setting, and the salted egg yolk sun has already hung on the branches, which looks particularly attractive. If you don't have a meal, you can just eat it if there is rice. It is a good dish to go with wine.

There are many flowers and trees in the courtyard of Li's Mansion, and the golden-red sunlight shines all around, giving it a somewhat lazy atmosphere.

Of course, you can't tell people in the kitchen this, because when the weather is very hot or very cold, cooking is very irritating. One is too hot, the other is too cold.

, are all uncomfortable.

At dinner, Li Lu was not alone. There were also Li Quan, Li Qu and some other people. However, Wang Bindao did not come out. He seemed to be planning to stay in the Yamen and become a god.

The food is simple and the decorations are not complicated. The plates are all made of logs. It seems very simple, but when each dish is served, you can smell a very fragrant smell.

Li Lu didn't sleep well last night and was in good spirits, but seemed listless chatting with the people around him.

Many people are wondering what is the difference between chatting with wealthy people and chatting with ordinary people like themselves. For example, when a farmer and his wife lower their heads to eat black cakes, they will think about what His Majesty is eating, and they will naturally

I don’t know. But, because of this, I started to have assumptions.

I think the emperor had to use a hoe made of gold to hoe the ground every day, and then eat scallion pancakes and drink chicken soup every day. This was the limit of their thinking.

Because they have never seen many things, so naturally there is no way to tell them.

In fact, people who have participated in these wine parties will find that there is nothing new in this world. The reason why many things look different is because of the packaging. Clothes worth one thousand yuan and clothes worth ten thousand yuan are the same.

It is possible to cover the body, but will the feeling be the same?

Li Quan didn't want to come at first, but he heard that Li Lu was not in good spirits, so he came anyway. However, after seeing Li Qu, he felt uncomfortable.

He is the third eldest son, and Li Qu is the fourth eldest son. He is a real equal in the Li family, but he really doesn't like this fourth son who just likes farming. At the same time, Li Qu also sees

Don't fall in love with this old guy who just likes to play with women.

So if the two of them didn't deal with each other, they would have started fighting if Li Lu hadn't kept suppressing them.

"Old Ancestor, what's wrong with your complexion? But your servants are disobedient and do things that don't conform to your wishes?" A man in his fifties with a face like a crown jewel asked softly. He is not a descendant of any of the people here.

, because his grandfather's generation is the second oldest in this industry. Unfortunately, he has died long ago. He should have declined, but this man is very good at studying, practicing martial arts, doing business, etc.

Originally, they planned to send this person to Chang'an to assist Li Jiancheng. Unfortunately, Li Shimin opened the door before such a thing could begin, and he ended up having to stay here.

Because he originally planned to be the Minister of Household Affairs, he had to work hard on property and management. Seeing Li Lu's expression, he knew that he didn't sleep well last night, and he didn't sleep well.

Li Lu's habit is to sleep well, and nothing can delay his sleep. However, the person he was waiting for came, which shows that things are indeed different.

"Li Mo, I didn't dare to sleep last night." Li Lu's words made Li Qu and Li Quan disappear from looking at each other. What do you mean? Is there anything here that you can't handle?

"Don't dare to sleep? But what happened?" Li Mo asked strangely. It is a great good thing for the Li family in Taiyuan Prefecture that the ancestor lives for one day. At this time, everything needs to be put aside.

"I don't know, I just feel flustered." Li Lu felt a little embarrassed saying such things, so he could only lower his head and take a bite of bamboo shoots, but he felt that he couldn't swallow it.

"It's okay, ancestor. If you have any troubles, you can tell your grandson and I will definitely take care of it for you. Otherwise, how many of Grandpa Li Quan's girls will I give you?"

As soon as Li Mo finished speaking, Li Quan said dissatisfiedly, "Mo'er, what nonsense are you talking about? How old is our ancestor that he still needs these things?"

Seeing his distressed look, Li Mo didn't say anything more. He expressed his contempt for such an old man.

"Uncle, although there is famine outside, our Taiyuan is still doing well. Although Wang Bindao is a stick, there are not many people here, and there is not much trouble. I have recently obtained a lot of good things from outside the Great Wall.

Then I can give some to my ancestors."

Li Qu likes to farm, but what is different from others is that he grows some precious herbs and other things, which need careful care, so he has hundreds of people who are responsible for this area.

.

"No, I'm not weak. I need some tonic. It's just that, Qu'er, is there nothing going on in Taiyuan City recently?" Although Li Lu knew a lot of news, he still asked about it just to put his mind at ease.

"No, uncle, it's not like you don't know that we don't have many people from Taiyuan, and after the war, there are even fewer people. The food in Taiyuan Prefecture was our Li family's wealth at the beginning, how can we not have enough food?

You don't have to worry about this. I think it's just an ordinary thing and it will be over in the blink of an eye." Li Qu said comfortingly.

Then several other people also comforted him. As the people around him started talking slowly, Li Lu's mood also improved. Maybe he really was overthinking it.

So, he made an exception and drank a glass of deer blood wine. Logically speaking, he couldn't drink it because he was getting older and his physical fitness was not as good as before. Although he was taking care of himself, he could only maintain his health, not get better.

After dinner, several people drank tea in the flower hall.

Li Qu and Li Quan were not so elegant and wanted to leave a long time ago, but they could not leave because they knew that Li Lu still needed their help.

But there were many young girls around, with an average age of thirteen or fourteen. They must be minors now, but in the past, they might have been the mother of the child.

What a few people were talking about were the changes in the past few years. Although the previous backers are gone, there are still people who need to rely on you, so everyone doesn't have to be so anxious.

"I heard that the imperial court sent people down, did you know?" Li Mo was really bored chatting with these people, because they were more interested in eating and drinking, but his own ambitions were not in this area, so he could only

Come up with something you are good at.

"I know." Li Qu shook his head disdainfully, and then took his hand out of a maid's skirt. He just grabbed a piece of cold melon and ate it without caring about what was on it. He didn't know how it tasted.

"So what if we come? We are all a family of His Majesty the Emperor. Who dares?" Li Quan also said, in this world, there is a group of people who are not afraid of those high officials. If you don't believe it, take a look.

Isn't that Wang Bindao like a grandson who doesn't dare to say a word?

"But I heard that the people coming this time are not ordinary."

Li Mo looked at the arrogant group of people, all of whom were members of his own family, and couldn't ignore them. Although many times he was happy when they were unlucky, but he couldn't touch the bottom line, otherwise they would be united.

"It's not ordinary. How can it be extraordinary? In the world of the Tang Dynasty, these people are all slaves. If they dare to talk nonsense, no one would dare to care about me even if I kill him." Li Quan was dissatisfied with Li Mo's petty family spirit and casually expressed his domineering attitude.

However, although such words may not sound pleasant, because they are actually done like this many times, there is always some experience.

Just like in the past, the emperor could not make mistakes. Even if he made mistakes, someone would help the emperor find a reason to excuse him. No matter what, the bad luck in this matter cannot fall on the emperor.

And in these years, so many distinguished people have learned a lot. Even if they don't learn much, there are still people who help. Since ancient times, there have been people who have survived in such a crack. They have no extra skills, and these so-called great people

, but can’t live without it, weird right?

"But I heard that His Royal Highness the Prince came with us. Although there was no news along the way, he raided the Liu family in Tongzhou."

Li Mo continued to talk quietly, as if talking about other people's affairs.

"What, are you talking about that Liu Xuan?" Li Quan couldn't help but exclaimed, who is this person? He is so courageous. Although Liu Xuan is far behind him, he is still a powerful character and is doing things well.

He is quite good as a person. When I first went out to collect beautiful women from all over the world, he even contributed to me.

How could it suddenly become like this? He didn't understand.

"Yes, it's that Liu Xuan. The family has almost been destroyed." Li Mo felt deep down in his heart that this matter was not that simple, so he said seriously.

"Is it the prince?" Li Quan asked, and then he felt that it was impossible. The prince was too young, only about ten years old, and he was just weaned. He couldn't do such a thing, so who could it be?

"It's Songzhou Hou Yetan."

Li Mo waited for a while before slowly telling the news, but everyone around him was confused. What kind of title does this Songzhou Marquis hold?

"Although this Songzhou Marquis is only a lower state, he is the founding Marquis of the country."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Qu couldn't help shouting, "Why? How old is he this year?"

Although Taiyuan Mansion is an ancestral land, the titles of the people here are very low. Many people have small titles such as Viscount, but below the fifth rank, some are just the founding men. But why should this person be regarded as a third rank?

Mr. Hou?

Moreover, Songzhou is no more than Xiazhou, and people from the fifth rank can be officials. Wouldn't it be a joke to ask a third-rank person to do it?

"He is thirteen years old this year. For no reason, when the Tubo invaded the border, he led troops to repel the invaders, and he is quite talented in governing the country."

Li Mo's first sentence made everyone think that Ye Tan was powerful, but the last sentence made people feel that it was nonsense. The so-called talent for governing the country may sometimes be just empty words.

Because once the framework is set up, many things can be done naturally, so sometimes, the so-called talent is not really important, but the stage is the most important.

"A talent for governing the country? What did he do?" Li Quan asked disdainfully.

"During the severe drought the year before last, Songzhou was the only country in the country that did not report losses and did not ask for any supplies from the court. But this year's locust plague still did not happen." Li Mo really wanted to know what was going on, but he had no choice.

You know, these news are just news that came from the capital after a period of time in the family.

Although I don’t know if it’s true or not, it shouldn’t be true, right?

"So, he is very rich?" Li Qu couldn't help asking with a greedy light in his eyes, but deep down he still secretly cursed this man for being a fool, taking out your own things

Is there something wrong with my mind when I go to rescue the victims?

"According to rumors, that Ye Tan came from Yejia Village, and Yejia Village is now the first village in the Tang Dynasty, Fu Village." When Li Mo finished saying this, he felt that he was a little greedy.

"How rich can a village be? It's just a rumor." Li Qu immediately lost interest. How big can a village be? Even if it is rich, it can't be rich. It seems that the population of Songzhou must be small.

of.

"It is said that there used to be about 50,000 or 60,000 people in Songzhou, but now the number has exceeded 100,000."

Li Mo's words were full of envy. After all, there are only one hundred thousand people in Zhongzhou, and he only took one year to complete such a transformation. I have to say that he is a powerful character.

"Then I wonder if we can bring it over?" Li Qu then asked, for good places, such as Yangzhou, these places are managed by specialized people, and they don't care how they can govern the world, but,

The benefits are indispensable.

"I'm afraid this will be difficult." Li Mo smiled bitterly. You can get some food from the other party's bowl, but who of us would dare to go to the frontier?

Now the northwest of Taiyuan is the Turks. When they first conquered the world, if it weren't for the cooperative relationship, there would have been no one in Taiyuan.

"Huh, what's so great about that kid? How dare you refuse?" Li Qu asked dissatisfiedly, the whole world belongs to the Li family, what ability does a person who looks like a domestic slave have?

"You really dare to refuse, because he can mobilize the troops there, and they are shouldered by generals and governors. What do you think will happen if we attack his hometown?" Li Mo looked at it with contempt deep in his heart.

He glanced at Li Qu and said.

Are you so crazy about money that you can meddle in anything?

"Why can he block the Tibetan army?" Li Lu suddenly asked, which interrupted Li Qu's words, but this question was indeed more serious than the previous one.

"Because although he is not very old, he is extremely powerful and knows the art of war. He is simply a genius." When Li Mo said this, he seemed a little unwilling. He should be praising me.

"Really? Since he is a genius, our Wang Bindao here is not a master. We also have Turks coming here from time to time. How about letting them chat with him?" Li Lu asked with a sinister look on his face.

Mo Mo was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but stick out his thumb. His ancestors had brains.

Since the Li family cooperated with the Turks, although the Weishui Alliance appeared, which embarrassed Li Shimin, it is really difficult to completely prevent these things, because it was agreed at the beginning that the Li family wanted the world, and they wanted to

wealth.

Li Shimin later planned to go back on his word, so from time to time, small groups of Turks would come over to find some food, that is, to thresh grass and grain.

Because Li Lu was good at craftsmanship, and people gave him face, he could not come over directly to invade. Instead, he had robbed many surrounding places many times.

"This is a good idea, ancestor, what if the other party is not willing?"

Li Mo thought for a moment and couldn't help but ask, after all, he is an imperial envoy. Do you plan to order the imperial envoy? He represents the emperor.

"Some things are not a question of whether you are willing or not. If he really comes to Taiyuan this time and the Turks suddenly come, will he run away directly, or will he fight the enemy with Wang Bindao?" Li Lu seemed to be in a mood.

He felt a lot better all of a sudden. He felt like there was a fire burning in his lower abdomen. It seemed that the deer blood just now worked, and his mood suddenly improved inexplicably. So, he pinched the maid next to him with his fingers.

The clothes are very thin, and the silk itself has static electricity and easily sticks to the body, so this graceful figure is outlined very beautifully.

The maid has also been serving him for a long time. She has been following him since she was taken away by Li Lu when she was eleven years old. As soon as she saw his face, she knew what was going on.

With a smile, he gently held Li Lu's palm between his own palms. He liked this kind of foreplay.

"Yes, if the Turks come by then, will he stand by and watch? If he can withstand it, he will suffer heavy losses. If he can't, what dignity does an emperor's imperial envoy have in Taiyuan Prefecture?

Stay, let alone stay at Songzhou, when the time comes, hehehe..."

Li Mo suddenly thought of Li Lu's thoughts and couldn't help laughing.

The other two people were a little confused. What do you mean?

The two looked at each other and did not continue talking, because the maid next to them had already started walking towards the sensitive place.

If you think they would simply bring a woman into the room, you are overthinking it. Big families can sometimes be very bold and disgusting.

Just when Li Lu couldn't bear it any longer, a burst of noise suddenly came from outside the door. This moment made him uncomfortable and made him even more enthusiastic.

Just as Li Lu's fingers slowly moved down from the maid's neck, a servant suddenly stood at the door and knelt down directly in front of Li Lu.

"Ancestor, something happened."

Li Lu's nature was interrupted all of a sudden, and if he wanted to brew it again, it would take time, so he pushed the maid in front of him aside, and then looked at the servant at the door coldly, if this idiot didn't give him

If there is a good reason, he must be pulled down and beaten to death.

"Why are you panicking? What happened to make you unaware of the family rules?"

The servant did not dare to raise his head, because the grass on the grave of the last person who saw this scene had already grown very long.
