There was a trace of despair in Ju Zhisheng's eyes. Although he hated Usman, he would not really kill him. He would also rely on Usman's Tiansha Alliance to stabilize his position as the heir apparent.
But he didn't dare to say anything. After all, Li Mu was doing this to 'revenge' him.
Ju Zhisheng's expression froze and he said: "Thank you, Mr. Hou, for your protection. Now that the matter is over, I want to ask Mr. Hou for two things. Please agree to it. Mr. Hou, please rest assured that Xiao Wang will not trouble Mr. Hou in vain."
, when the father comes, Xiao Wang will have a generous gift to give him."
"!" Li Mu frowned and said angrily: "The Crown Prince is a distinguished guest of the Tang Dynasty. I have been ordered by His Majesty to entertain the Crown Prince. I should do my best to entertain the Crown Prince, not to mention one or two things. If the Crown Prince has any instructions, it doesn't matter. As for generous gifts,
Or whatever, just give me a few thousand taels of gold, but I can’t ask for too much, it will hurt the relationship between you and me!"
"Uh..." Ju Zhisheng was just about to be moved when he heard Li Mu's last words and was stunned for a moment. He turned around and went back to read it over again, only to understand what Li Mu meant. This still costs money!
Under the eaves, Ju Zhisheng had no choice but to agree. He gritted his teeth and said, "I will listen to the Marquis."
"It's easy to talk. If you have anything to do, just tell me."
Seeing the sincere expression on Li Mu's face, Ju Zhisheng was also confused. He now had no idea what kind of person Li Mu was. If he was malicious towards him, why did he always think about himself from the moment they met until now? But
If he said he was friendly to him, Ju Zhisheng didn't believe it. If he was so friendly, why did he need money? He opened his mouth and asked for thousands of taels of gold. Do you really think that this gold is like sand in the desert, which is everywhere?
Ju Zhisheng took a deep breath and said: "Master Hou, although Usman is dead, he still has two thousand horse bandits in Gaochang. Gaochang is not as good as the Tang Dynasty and has fewer soldiers and generals. If they learn that Usman is dead,
I'm afraid there will be chaos. I have to write a letter back immediately to make some arrangements. I also ask the Marquis for help and send the letter as quickly as possible."
"It's easy to say!" Li Mu beat his chest loudly and said angrily: "I didn't expect that this vicious person has a group of thieves behind him. Huh, everyone can punish the traitors and thieves. Prince, just write a letter, I'm here
There are also a few friends in the military who will rush to send you back 800 miles away. If Gaochang can't handle it, just tell me and I will go and talk to His Majesty for you. You don't have troops in Gaochang, but we in the Tang Dynasty do.
Just send two of them to charge into the mansion, and a mere two thousand troops will be wiped out in a snap!"
"No, no, no, no, no, it's just a trivial matter. How dare you work for the state? Gaochang can handle it, it can handle it..." Ju Zhisheng said repeatedly. Although he was a bit of a fool, he was not a fool after all. Are you kidding me, asking the Tang Dynasty to send troops? If the Tang Dynasty really
After sending out troops, the horse bandits were able to be wiped out, and Gaochang was also named Li.
Li Mu didn't take it seriously and said: "That's okay. Just tell me when you need it. With our relationship, I can give you a thousand punches and I will help you with it!"
Ju Zhisheng responded vaguely, but he was thinking in his heart: What is going on with this Zhuluhou? He talks about money and talks about money. Does he love money so much?
In his heart, he couldn't help but look down on Li Mu. In his mind, a hero should not care about money. A man should wake up and take control of the world. He should lie drunk in the lap of a beautiful woman. Money is the pursuit of merchants. One day, when he has power,
Still short of money?
"The second thing is to ask Mr. Hou to help me take revenge." Ju Zhisheng said through gritted teeth.
"Ah?" Li Mu asked strangely: "Didn't I help you get revenge? That thief Wusman has been chopped into pieces by me and fed to the dogs!"
Ju Zhisheng gritted his teeth and said: "Master Hou, there is someone else who is the culprit of this matter!"
Li Mu looked curious about the baby and said, "Oh? Tell me quickly!"
Ju Zhisheng glanced at the person behind Li Mu. Li Mu followed his gaze and suddenly said: "Look at me for being so confused. I'm so rude." Then he said to Li Chongyi and others: "You all can go out."
The three of them went out, and Li Mu said again: "Your Majesty, you can talk now."
"Alas!" Ju Zhisheng let out a long sigh and told him everything about how he was taken away by the guards at the back door of Fengqiuhuang, what kind of unfair treatment he received in the prison, and how he got out.
After saying that, Ju Zhisheng was already sobbing. He held Li Mu's hand tightly and said, "Master Hou must avenge Xiao Wang. He must arrest those servants and the jailers in the prison and kill them all before we can take over."
The hatred in my heart!!”
"This..." Li Mu groaned and let go of Ju Zhisheng's hand.
Ju Zhisheng was stunned and quickly looked at Li Mu's expression. Seeing his face darken, he couldn't help but panic and asked: "Master Hou, don't you plan to help Xiao Wang?"
"It's not that I don't want to help," Li Mu said with a stern face: "It's just that when the prince said this, it seemed as if he was blaming me, and I felt unhappy! I have a straight temper and can't hold things in my heart. If the prince doesn't
If this matter is explained clearly, I'm afraid we can't even be friends. I will serve as a memorial to Your Majesty, and someone else will entertain the Crown Prince!"
His tone was cold and unfamiliar, as if he was a different person compared to before.
Ju Zhisheng secretly wondered why Zhulu Hou was so moody, but he didn't dare to offend him. He hurriedly said: "What does this have to do with Mr. Hou? Mr. Hou didn't know about my visit to him. It's all the fault of those guards.
If it weren't for them pretending to be powerful, my king would not have suffered a catastrophe, and the Marquis's wisdom would not have been damaged. In the end, it is all their fault!"
"So that's what you think!" Li Mu suddenly put on a smile again, held Ju Zhisheng's hand again, and said with a smile on his face: "Why didn't you tell me earlier, Your Majesty? I thought you were blaming me. Just now I was still thinking,
What does this matter have to do with me? Why should I be blamed?"
"Yes, yes, Xiao Wang did not explain clearly."
"It doesn't matter, just make it clear. My lord has a lot, so I don't blame you." Li Mu smiled generously and said: "Your Majesty, we have only known each other for a short time, so you may not know me well enough. The most annoying thing about me is
I have been wronged! If anyone wrongly accuses me, I will kill him or her! There used to be a censor who not only wronged me, but also slandered me. Guess what happened in the end?"
"Ah..." Ju Zhisheng actually didn't care at all, but after saying this, he had to follow Li Mu's words and ask: "Xiao Wang doesn't know, please ask Mr. Hou to clarify his doubts."
Li Mu snorted coldly and said: "Although Your Majesty made the decision for me and imprisoned him in Dali Temple, how can I tolerate him with my violent temper? I led the people, smashed the wall of Dali Temple, and rushed into the Dali Temple prison.
, the hand raised the knife and dropped it, with a click..."
Li Mu raised his hand and made a gesture on Ju Zhisheng's neck, and said sadly: "The head is rolling, dead!"
Ju Zhisheng broke out in a cold sweat and his expression became stiff. He managed to squeeze out a smile and said, "Master Hou, Master Hou is joking."
"Why are you joking!" Li Mu immediately became displeased and said, "Everyone in Chang'an knows about this, and hundreds of people are watching. Why am I joking? Do you not believe me? Do you dare to look at me?
Are you a villain who doesn't keep your word?"
When Ju Zhisheng saw that Li Mu was about to fall out again, he quickly said: "Master Hou, Xiao Wang doesn't mean this. Master Hou is an upright gentleman. Xiao Wang has not had enough time to admire him, so how can he not believe it?"
"Ah, that's good!" Li Mu patted Ju Zhisheng on the shoulder and said, "Be careful what you say in the future. I am impatient. If I misunderstand the prince, something will happen."
Ju Zhisheng didn't dare to think about what would happen, so he quickly brought the conversation back and said: "Xiao Wang, please remember, Mr. Hou, I don't know about this revenge..."
"Oh..." Li Mu sighed, frowned, and said, "I'm afraid this matter will be difficult to handle."
Ju Zhisheng became anxious and said: "As long as Mr. Hou can help Xiao Wang, Xiao Wang will definitely not let Mr. Hou down. How about one hundred thousand guan? Twenty..."
"What are you talking about!" Li Mu interrupted Ju Zhisheng's increase in price, but he was secretly happy. He was indeed a fat sheep, and he could ask for one hundred thousand guan when he opened his mouth. And from the looks of it, 200,000 guan was not his limit. Gao Chang really was so capable.
Money?
Li Muyi said sternly: "My relationship with the Crown Prince is a heart-to-heart relationship. You know, I want to be a heart-to-heart friend with the Crown Prince! If it's for money, you give me 300,000 yuan, and I will help you with this matter."
It’s done. But no, if I really do it according to the prince’s request, it will only do harm to the prince, but no good. Therefore, even if the prince gives me one million yuan, I can’t do it. I can’t harm my friends!
"
Li Mu's appearance confused Ju Zhisheng, and Ju Zhisheng hurriedly asked: "Master Hou, I wonder if there is anything harming me here? Please give me some advice."
"Your Majesty!" Li Mu glanced at Ju Zhisheng, half-smiling, and asked: "I would like to ask you, Your Majesty, you and your father came to Chang'an to meet His Majesty, why did Your Majesty come first, and did not notify the Ministry of Rites? Why did Your Majesty come in advance?
What are you doing?"
"Uh..." Ju Zhisheng suddenly panicked when he heard this question. He just thought about revenge, but forgot this section. How to explain this? What made him even more horrified was how Datang knew the news.
?Could it be that there is already a detailed work by your father’s side?
"Your Majesty, can't you answer?"
"No." Ju Zhisheng quickly denied it and said bravely: "Little Wang has admired the culture of the Central Plains for a long time. He came here early just because he wanted to experience the prosperity of the capital of the Tang Dynasty. Lord Marquis, you also know that if you come with your father, the etiquette is complicated, I'm afraid
There’s no time to feel it properly.”
"That's right." Li Mu still had the same half-smiling expression, but he didn't expose it. Instead, he asked another question: "Since we are here to experience the culture of the Central Plains, the prince should be at the inn at this time, instead of having so many things happen.
The twists and turns. Prince, I am thinking about you. Usman was silenced by me, and now, I have not reported to His Majesty. In other words, Your Majesty still does not know what has happened to the Crown Prince in the past few days."
"If I help you kill someone, the news will definitely be hidden. Guess, if His Majesty learns that you came to Chang'an in advance, hid your traces, and did not experience the Central Plains culture, but went to the back door of my shop and was caught, what will he do?
What do you think?"
Li Mu stared at Ju Zhisheng's eyes and said harshly: "Your Majesty wants to die, so don't implicate me, okay?!"
