Li Chongyi nodded and said: "We are all here, five hundred people, not one person missing."
"They are all recruited according to the standards I set?"
"Yes, they are all men over six feet tall, strong and capable of taking my punch."
"That's good." Li Mu thought for a while and said: "Without further delay, I will take you to see Li Shangshu tomorrow. Although you are brave, you do not understand military affairs and cannot lead troops. Li Shangshu is known to be good at guarding the city and training troops. He is famous, you worship him as your teacher and study hard. Of these five hundred people, two hundred will be eliminated. The remaining three hundred people will be your capital for revenge in the future. You must treat them well and treat them with sincerity, do you understand? "
"Understood." Li Chongyi hesitated for a moment and said: "Brother, can't we all stay? I picked out these men one by one, and they are all good men! Didn't His Majesty also ask us to pick 500 people? Why only keep them? three hundred?"
Li Mu smiled, patted Li Chongyi on the shoulder and said, "You think things are too simple."
"In the military system of the Tang Dynasty, there are twelve guards in the world, plus six East Palace guards. The twelve guards are the left and right guards, the left and right Xiao guards, the left and right Wu guards, the left and right Wei guards, the left and right leading guards, and the left and right Jinwu guards. There is one general each. , there are two generals each, controlling the world. The left and right guards all lead sixty mansions, and the other guards lead forty mansions. The six commanders of the East Palace are the prince's left and right guards, the left and right Siyu commanders, and the left and right Qingdao commanders, each leading three Mansion."
"Zhechong Mansion is divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower. The upper class has 1,200 people, the middle class has 1,000 people, and the lower class has 800 people. Each government has Zhechong Captain as the chief, and two Guoyi Captains on the left and right as deputy officers. Each military government has four to six regiments, each regiment has 200 people, and each regiment has a captain. Each regiment has two brigades, each has 100 people, and each brigade has a brigade commander. Each brigade has two teams, each team has 50 people, and each team has a team. Right. Each team is divided into five groups of ten people, each with a leader."
"An ordinary general can have a brigade of personal soldiers according to regulations. But like my adoptive father, there are only a few dozen personal soldiers. Why?" Li Mu looked at Li Chongyi and said: "This is Chang'an, under the emperor's feet. As a general, Why do you have so many soldiers under your command? If someone in the court doesn't like you and casually accuses someone of "raising dead soldiers with the intention of treason", if this label is taken off, if His Majesty is aroused, will the whole family be alive? "
Li Chongyi was stunned when he heard this, and quickly said: "Brother, if that's the case, then... then we don't want any of them!"
Li Mu smiled again and said: "But it doesn't matter. We really need so many people to protect the valley, and I don't ask for more. Besides..." Li Mu sighed and said in a solemn tone: "You don't understand, I have to have a group of people." Reasons for men and horses.”
Li Chongyi didn't understand and said blankly: "Brother, a group of people is two hundred people, why do we need three hundred?"
Li Mu said seriously: "Because we are an independent group."
Li Chongyi looked confused.
Li Mu didn't know how to explain it, so he simply stopped explaining and said, "You won't understand even if I say it. In short, just remember that I, Li Yunlong, will always have the final say on the Independent Group, and it should not be controlled by anyone else!"
Li Chongyi was even more confused after hearing this: "Brother, isn't your name Li Mu? When did you change your name?"
Li Mu became angry and said: "Is it okay if my surname is Li, Mu, and Xiaoyao Yunlong? You idiot, why are you talking so much nonsense recently? I keep asking you questions! Thanks to your brother, I have been worrying about you so much that I get angry because of it. That's how you are. Treat me?"
Although Li Chongyi didn't know why Li Mu was angry, seeing that he was angry, he still bowed his head and admitted his mistake, saying: "Brother, I know I was wrong, so I won't ask questions in the future."
"Hmph!" Li Mu's face softened a little, and he said: "When I see Li Shangshu tomorrow, I will humbly ask for advice. As for the eliminated soldiers, don't let them feel cold. I will say hello to Zhien and ask her to prepare two thousand guan for you.
, when the time comes, each person will be given ten guan of money, and then sent back to the garrison to prevent them from working in vain."
"knew."
Li Mu finished the wine in the bowl. The smell of alcohol was rising and his face turned red. He said, "You can eat it yourself. I'm going back to sleep. When I get up tomorrow, we can go to the Ministry of Industry to find Li Shangshu."
After saying that, before Li Chongyi could reply, Li Mu had already staggered away.
…
"Husband, what's wrong with your hand?"
When going to bed, Bai Qiaoqiao saw Li Mu's bruised and swollen hand, and said distressedly: "Who is this evil person who pinched your hand like this? No, we have to ask him for comment!"
Li Zhien also said: "How about reporting to the official?"
"What official should I report to?" Zhang Tianai grabbed the whip and said, "Can't you just hit the door? Tell me who it is, and I will avenge you!"
When they met just now, Li Mu put his hands behind his back. He was afraid of seeing such a situation, so he didn't expect to hide.
"Put down the whip..." Li Mu pressed his hand and said, "It's Uncle Cheng. Are you kidding? Why are you shouting about beating and killing?"
Bai Qiaoqiao was so distressed that she shed tears and said: "Even Uncle Cheng can't be unreasonable. We ask ourselves that we are not rude to him, but he often comes to our house to cause trouble. Because he is an elder, do you bully others like this?
?Husband, you can’t tolerate this!”
Li Zhien also nodded and said: "Yes, I can't bear it!"
Li Mu smiled bitterly. Bai Qiaoqiao usually had the most troublesome temper, but unexpectedly she changed her temper today. Li Mu also knew that Bai Qiaoqiao felt warm in her heart because she felt sorry for him, but if she wanted to go to Cheng Yao for such a small matter,
Jin's trouble is absolutely unavoidable.
Li Mu took Bai Qiaoqiao into his arms and said: "Madam, although Uncle Cheng is a little presumptuous, he has helped us a lot when we came to Chang'an. Besides... in fact, he, he didn't ask for anything.
If you want to get an advantage, I'll let it go."
"What do you mean, he didn't get any advantage? He made you look like this. Isn't that considered a bargain?"
Li Mu grinned and said: "The big guy pinched him too. He pinched me blue, and the big guy pinched him purple. If we really want to file a lawsuit, we won't take it."
"..."
Now Bai Qiaoqiao didn't know what to do. Zhang Tianai listened beside him and hummed: "Qiaoqiao, don't feel bad for him. He did it himself, who does it depend on? It's not like you don't know his temper. If he
If he suffers a loss, will he tolerate it? He idles around all day, causing trouble, and making you cry in vain. You don't need to worry about this kind of person."
The good atmosphere was completely destroyed in an instant. Li Mu looked at Zhang Tianai and said: "You..."
After saying "you" for a long time, Li Mu didn't think of anything to say. However, Zhang Tianai seemed to be even more excited when Li Mu looked over. She stared back at him, looking eager to try, as if she was waiting to quarrel with him.
Li Mu didn't want to be fooled. He pointed at the door and said: "...You go out, we are going to bed."
"Just go out, who cares?" Zhang Tianai stood up and walked out. After taking two steps, he suddenly stopped, looked back at Li Mu, and said, "Why are you driving me away? I won't leave!"
Li Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said: "Why don't you leave? The couple is going to bed. Why, you want to watch?"
"I am your wife too!" Zhang Tianai held the whip and said seriously: "Fourth concubine, didn't you say so?" She raised her finger and pointed at Li Zhien and said: "Second concubine can sleep here, but I
Why did the fourth aunt drive her out? Didn’t you say that everyone should be treated equally? Why don’t words count? "
"Are you so horny?" Li Mu was completely shocked and said in horror: "We haven't even gotten married yet, and you want to taint me?"
Zhang Tianai didn't understand, so he said: "Defiled? What do you mean?"
"It's really terrible!" Li Mu looked at Bai Qiaoqiao and said as if asking for help: "Madam, don't you care? How can I withstand her abuse?"
When Bai Qiaoqiao heard these words, she was so embarrassed that Zhang Tianai was her sister. How could she have the nerve to say anything? She lowered her head and did not dare to look at Li Mu. She whispered: "Husband, I feel a little unwell today. Why don't you just let me know?"
Sister Tianai, please accompany you, I will sleep next door..."
Li Mu quickly grabbed Bai Qiaoqiao's sleeve and begged: "Madam, you can't do this, she has a whip in her hand!"
Zhang Tianai put the whip on the table, glanced at Li Mu, and said, "What's wrong with holding the whip? If you don't mess with me, I won't whip you."
"You still want to whip me?" Li Mu was stunned. The image of Zhang Tianai wearing a leather jacket and holding a whip suddenly appeared in his mind, beating himself wantonly. He was so frightened that he almost burst into tears. No, it's too exciting, I can't stand it!
Li Mu jumped out of bed with all his strength and said: "You three sleep, I'll go to the studio to sleep, and I'll tell you the ugly things in front of you. If you force me like this tomorrow, I won't go home! I, I'll go find my third aunt."
!”
"How dare you!" Zhang Tianai grabbed the whip in his hand again. Seeing this, Li Mu took three steps at a time and two steps to escape. Seeing him running away, Zhang Tianai's hand dropped weakly, and she looked at Bai Qiaoqiao
, said hesitantly: "Qiaoqiao, why is he so afraid of me? Does he hate me?"
Bai Qiaoqiao smiled helplessly and said: "Sister, if you want to talk to your husband, you can do it properly. You always shake the whip, how can he not be afraid?"
Li Zhien also chuckled and said: "After all, my husband has had little contact with you, and we don't know each other well enough. How could he know that you were reluctant to hit him? I saw the look in his eyes just now, as if he was really scared."
Zhang Tianai was a little discouraged and said: "I think I'd better live in the shop to avoid being an eyesore to him."
"There's nothing wrong with a family." Bai Qiaoqiao took Zhang Tianai's hand and said, "My husband told me to let my sister sleep here, so she can sleep here. I remembered that the last time the miracle doctor came, I stayed here."
I've taken a lot of medicine. There should be injuries from bruises, so I'll go look for them. My husband's hands are swollen like that. Without some medicine, they will become even more swollen tomorrow. I'll go see him and I'll be back soon."
Zhang Tianai hurriedly said: "I'll go with you. I know a little bit about bruises and injuries."
Bai Qiaoqiao's cheeks turned red. In fact, she was not delivering medicine. She was... But how could she say such a thing?
I was helpless when I met this Tianai sister who was ignorant about men and women.
