After entering the square gate, Li Mu immediately saw Wang Hu who was about to go out. He got off his horse and said hello with a smile. Wang Hu quickly returned the greeting. He looked at Li Mu's demeanor and noticed that when he left, he was very different.
Same. When he left with Li Siwen, Li Mu had just arrived in Chang'an City. Although he was already a marquis, his thinking and status were not fully matched, and he did not have the calmness and temperament of someone in a high position.
When Wang Hu interacted with him, he thought he was Li Mu when he was the county magistrate in Dingxiang, and he had not yet realized his superiority and inferiority.
But at this time, Li Mu had become accustomed to the status of a marquis. What he had done during this period had reached Dingxiang either through the mouths of merchants or through letters between Li Siwen and him. Wang Hu naturally knew that Li Mu
In Chang'an City, what kind of status is it now?
The seventeen-year-old from the third rank, throughout the ages, can only be compared to Gan Luo, who became prime minister at the age of twelve. Li Mu's demeanor at this time is not the same as before. Wang Hu is just Li Ji's personal soldier, so what?
Dare you call me "Brother Wang?"
"The Marquis is trying to break me up. Just call me Wang Hu. I don't dare to call me big brother."
Li Mu smiled and said: "Brother Wang, why are you still alienated? No matter where I am, we are brothers who lived and died together in Dingxiang City. Why can't we be brothers? Don't mention such things in the future."
Seeing that Li Mu didn't seem to be faking it, Wang Hu had no choice but to agree, feeling a little more emotional in his heart.
He had seen Li Mu's state of desolation. When he was in Dingxiang City, Li Mu was the county magistrate and led a group of refugees to repair the city wall. He would go out early and return home late every day. Dingxiang was adjacent to the desert grassland, and the wind and sand were extremely strong, making him look gray and dusty every day.
Who would have thought that such a young man, in less than ten months, would have risen from a high position of third grade.
"Brother Wang, have you just arrived? Why don't you take a rest? Come with me. I'm treating you today. We won't get home until we get drunk!"
"No, no, no." Wang Hu calmed down, waved his hands repeatedly, and said, "I won't drink wine today. I still have my mother here. It's been extremely unfilial not to be by my side for these many days. Now that I'm back,
Naturally, I want to accompany my mother first, and I hope that the Marquis can be considerate."
"Oh, as a matter of filial piety, I can't stop you. Anyway, I won't leave in one or two days. It will be the same if we meet again later." After saying that, Li Mu handed the reins in his hand to Wang Hu and said: "Walking is too slow, let's ride a horse."
.”
Wang Hu was as eager as an arrow to return, and he was not polite. He thanked him, got on his horse and drove away.
Li Mu watched for a while, turned around, and suddenly a young general wearing a full body armor appeared in front of him. He looked so heroic. Li Mu subconsciously took a step back and said, "Who is coming?"
"Brother-in-law, it's me, I'm Gensheng!"
"Gensheng?" Li Mu looked up and down, frowned and said, "Are you a Gensheng? Why have you grown so tall and strong? Ouch, you have a beard!" Li Mu touched his hairless body.
Chin, a little unsure, said vaguely: "It's pretty good. I have all my arms and legs. Have you met your parents? Have you met your sister?"
"I've seen you! I'm here to wait for you!" Bai Gensheng's character was much more cheerful than when he left. He was not as silly as before, but a little more clever. Suddenly he saw Li Mu wearing a hat behind him.
Dugujiu, who was wearing a mask, frowned slightly and said, "Brother-in-law, this is..."
"This is my adopted brother. You have never seen him. His name is Dugu Jiu, and he is also your brother."
"Oh." Bai Gensheng smiled, cupped his fists and said, "Bai Qi has met my brother."
Dugujiu subconsciously returned the gift, but was blocked by Li Mu. Li Mu frowned and looked at Bai Gensheng and said, "Boy, why have you changed your name after a few months of walking? Aren't you Bai Gensheng? Why did you change your name to Bai Gensheng?"
Do you know who Bai Qi is? You just gave him this name casually?"
"Brother-in-law, Bai Gensheng's name is too much like a village man. I am now the leader of the team. Our general said that my future is limitless. Sooner or later, I can also become a general. Don't underestimate people.
I have read a lot of books in the past month. Of course I know who Bai Qi is. I just want to be such a general. Don’t call me Gensheng from now on. I changed my name to Bai Qi. My father agreed. Besides, I
Didn’t my sister change her name? Why can she change her name, but I can’t? I will change it!”
"Ouch!" Li Mu raised his hand and slapped Bai Gensheng on the back of the head, scolding: "You are so promising, how dare you talk back to your brother-in-law? You even made trouble with your sister, how can you and your sister
Comparison? Your sister married a good husband. Her good husband was given the title of Third-Rank Military Marquis and earned her the title of Third-Rank Military Marquis. That’s why she changed her name. But even if it is changed, it is still called Qiao at home.
Is it a coincidence? You are a captain with no grades and no rank, and you are a little official with a big sesame, and you are already on the map! Tell me, which general sees that your future is limitless? I would like to
Let’s see which blind man managed to become a general!”
"It's me!" Li Siwen ran over, holding a jeweled crown in his hand, and said with a smile: "Brother, am I not the general Gensheng said? You have forgotten that Dingxiang is my territory.
, I’m just going to challenge the captain general. I’m right, his brother-in-law is Li Mu, so of course it’s limitless, haha..." Seeing Li Mu’s expression change, Li Siwen quickly interrupted and changed the topic to the crown, saying
: "Brother, what do you think of this crown? It's good, right? Guess where I got it from?"
Li Mu looked at the crown and saw nothing about its origin. However, the gems on it were quite large and he expected they must be worth a lot of money. He said, "I can't guess where they came from?"
"Brother, I told you, don't envy me." Li Siwen couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth, and said: "Although I don't have your ability, I have one thing that I can do. I'm lucky. Didn't I build a new city?
, do you need to dig a foundation to build a new city? When digging the foundation, guess what, I dug out a tomb! I dug this crown out of the tomb. Do you think this gem is worth a lot of money?"
When Li Mu heard this, his hands trembled, and the crown fell to the ground. He couldn't laugh or cry and said: "You, your kid is really... digging graves, you? Are you lacking in virtue?"
"I didn't mean it!" Li Siwen quickly defended and said, "Who let it fall under my new city? I don't think it's unlucky!" He bent down to pick up the crown, wiped off the dust on it, and said:
"I guess this must be something that a Turkic leader robbed in the Central Plains in the past and was buried with him in his tomb. After an unknown number of years, it fell into the hands of me, Li Siwen. This can be regarded as the return of things to their original state.
Lord. Isn’t it better for me to dig out these treasures, convert them into grain, and transport them back to Dingxiang to feed the homeless people than to bury them underground?”
Li Mu really can't deny this. Comrade Li Siwen's consciousness is still very high. It's just that the tomb owner suffered a lot. He died for an unknown number of years and had people dig it out. The treasures he had saved all his life were looted, and this
The robber didn't feel any guilt at all, which seemed a bit pitiful.
Li Mu rubbed his nose and asked, "Have you buried someone else's grave? It would be unjust to dig someone's grave and not bury it again."
"Bury it, bury it, can I do anything?" Li Siwen said seriously: "There was a man among the refugees who was a Turkic mage. I asked him to deal with it, and he was cremated according to the custom of the Turks."
"..." Li Mu didn't want to say anything anymore. He pursed his lips and asked, "What next?"
"Half of it was sprinkled into the sky, and half was sprinkled into the river."
Come on, not only did they dig up the grave, but they also crushed the bones and scattered the ashes.
Li Mu instantly had a headache. Is this really the brother I brought out with my own hands? How could he be so inhumane! Li Mu sighed, hooked Li Siwen's shoulder, and asked, "How many treasures have been dug up? Take me to see them quickly."
When Dugujiu heard this, he almost fell to the ground. Listening to the meaning of what he said just now, he thought that Li Mu had to reprimand Li Siwen, but who would have thought that this was the case! He now understood a little bit why Li Mu regarded Li Siwen as the most important person.
Okay brothers, they are the same in love! Although Li Siwen is heartless, when he is bold, he is just like a smaller version of Li Mu. The difference is that Li Mu only does it when he has the confidence in his heart, while Li Siwen
Siwen just went ahead and did it without thinking about whether he had a bottom or not. But the shameless look of the two of them was just like the same mold.
Bai Gensheng followed behind. Hearing Dugujiu's sigh, he chuckled and said, "Brother, just get used to it. When our general was in Dingxiang, he was even more shameless than he is now. Here he has restrained himself a lot."
Dugujiu said blankly: "Why?"
"Because my brother-in-law is the most shameless. He learned from my brother-in-law."
"..." Dugujiu was completely speechless and didn't want to speak anymore.
Arriving at Feng Qiuhuang's backyard, Li Mu's horizons were opened. He opened a box containing gold and silver treasures, and another box containing jade utensils. He picked up a jade bowl, crystal clear, and could not find a knife or ax.
The traces are as natural as any. A jade of this caliber would have cost hundreds of millions in his previous life!
No wonder there are no such good products on the market now, and the love is buried in the graves of the predecessors.
Li Mu clicked his tongue in amazement and said: "Well done, dear brother, you have done a great job in bringing these treasures to light again!"
"It's a small matter." Li Siwen said modestly: "I have only done my best, but I have organized an excavation team and hired experienced herdsmen as guides to search around Dingxiang. Once I find countless
If someone claims a tomb, dig it up and take a look. This is what I think. Money is needed to build Dingxiang. Nowadays, no one can give it to anyone who asks for it. You have to rely on your own efforts. These treasures are too buried underground.
It's a pity, it's time to find a knowledgeable owner for them. Brother, do you think they can be sold for money?"
"Yes, yes, that's great. In a few days, we will hold an auction..." Li Mu opened another box and found a box of scrolls inside.
"What is this?" Li Mu picked up one and opened it. He was frightened and stammered: "Lan, Lan Lan Lan Pavilion Preface?"
