"Don't say it so nicely. Don't you have a purpose?"
"Yes!" Unexpectedly, Li Mu did not hide it, but looked at Zhang Xun very calmly. He actually admitted: "Father-in-law, nothing in this world is without reason. Even if I married Tian
Love, I will not let you drive me to give up my position and opinions for what you want to do."
"I was originally a rural warrior in Mayi City. Due to fate, I made great contributions and was granted the title of Marquis by Your Majesty. As the old saying goes, a man who knows his friends will die! I have been favored by Your Majesty and I should repay it instead of doing it for you.
Self-interest, be a villain!"
"Father-in-law, you know my purpose in your heart, and I know it in my heart. There is no need to waste my words by saying it. But you should also understand that the current situation is the best I can do. If you continue to be greedy,
I have no choice but to stand opposite you. Let me tell you something from my heart: I hate conspirators like you very much. If it weren’t for God’s love, you would have died in my hands!”
Zhang Xun sneered and said: "Isn't that a bit exaggerated? Young man, I advise you to be more modest!"
Li Mu chuckled and said: "Father-in-law, I am a person born with no idea of humility! I have said many big words, but fortunately, so far, none of them have failed to come true. If I say it, I can do it!"
Zhang Xun's face turned cold and he said: "Believe it or not, I will kill you right now!"
"Ha," Li Mu raised his hand, and there was a loud bang. There was a hole in the wall behind Zhang Xun. Zhang Xun looked back at the hole, his face a little pale. He had never seen such Kung Fu on the stone wall.
Even the bearded man in those days would never be able to make such a deep hole.
If this hole hits me——
Zhang Xun didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Li Mu hid the musket in his sleeve and said seriously: "To be honest, this time in Luotuo Valley and our group, my son-in-law met by chance and learned the Zoroastrian sect's divine skill of the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth. The move just now is called 'One Yang Finger'
', is a move created by my son-in-law based on the internal power of the Great Shift of the Universe. It is light and convenient. He can hit wherever he points and kill with every move. I think my father-in-law's light skill cannot dodge this move, right? So, human beings
When you are old, you should be more polite, young people are very scary."
"you!"
The ghost hiding in the shadow wanted to take action, but Zhang Xun stopped him. He couldn't figure out whether what Li Mu said was true or false. If the ghost took action, if it didn't work, it would just be torn apart. Li Mu would do it twice more.
Both he and Guiying must die. Although he was injured, his eyesight was still there, and even Guiying's Qinggong could not dodge the move just now.
"Okay!" Zhang Xun suddenly said "Okay", and then said "Okay" three times: "The arrogance of a good son-in-law is indeed well-deserved. Today I have seen it. I agree to everything you say, just agree."
."
"Father-in-law, there is no need to gnash his teeth," Li Mu said with a smile: "What are you talking about? All covenants are based on strength. One day, the Tang Dynasty will decline and will no longer be able to control the affairs of the Western Regions. At that time, Gao Chang wants to
Tang Dynasty has no control over what you do. But father-in-law, as long as I am here, what I say today are the rules, and the ugly words will come first. If you do something behind your back again, my son-in-law will show no mercy when we meet again next time.
, and didn’t listen to my father-in-law’s explanation.”
Zhang Xun gritted his teeth and said, "You still dare to kill me?"
"No, no, no, how dare my son-in-law." Li Mu shook his head and said, "I will take my father-in-law to my side and respect him well. But my father-in-law may not like to be a rich man who cultivates and studies and inherits the family, right? If my father-in-law likes it, I can do it at any time.
Tell my son-in-law that he will definitely meet his father-in-law's requirements."
"you!"
Li Mu laughed loudly and turned around to leave. Zhang Xun looked down and saw a stone with a livid face. He really wanted to pick it up and hit Li Mu on the back of his head.
The ghost came out of the darkness and said, "Chief, do you want to teach him a lesson?"
"What lesson?!" Zhang Xun was so angry that he cursed: "He is so arrogant! God loves such a daughter, and Gaochang still expects her to carry on the family line. How can I teach him a lesson? How do you think I should teach him a lesson?"
"He didn't mean to visit famous doctors to treat you——"
"Are you also making sarcastic remarks?" Zhang Xun's eyes flashed fiercely: "If my disease could be cured, I would have long ago -" Halfway through, he knew he was making a mistake, so he stretched out his hand and pointed in the distance: "Get out!"
Guiying also knew that he had asked the wrong question, and before Zhang Xun became furious, he got up and rolled away.
…
The succession ceremony was very simple. Zhang Xun always showed an attitude of sharing the joys and sorrows with the people. There was no luxury at all. The palace had been burned down, the treasure house was moved away by Li Mu, and the rest was given to the people.
After all the money was divided, Zhang Xun had no money to build a new palace. He asked Li Mu for money, but Li Mu would not give it. In the end, Zhang Xun took 100,000 guan from Li Mu in the name of asking for a betrothal gift and used it to build his new palace.
For this reason, Zhang Tianai complained a lot. But how could she know the details like Li Mu? How could Zhang Xun have no savings after running the Western Region for many years? It was just inconvenient to take them out. After a while, when the people did not pay so much attention to him as a king, he
The money will be taken out. He has money himself, and it is for his own affairs. If it is not spent in vain, it will be a waste to give it to him.
The people of the Yin tribe were driven to a valley near Yanqi by Zhang Xun. This place is located at the junction of the two countries. If there is a war in the future, they will be the first to be unlucky. But if there is no war, it is still a good place. The Yin tribe
People live independently, and it is counted as the 23rd city of Gaochang. Elder Jin was also named the chief of the Yin tribe by Zhang Xun, and his status was similar to that of the city lord.
Li Mu stayed for one more day, packed his luggage with Zhang Tianai, and asked Li Siwen to send some accountants, tax collectors, etc. to lay the foundation for Gaochang to facilitate subsequent matters. After doing this, Li Mu took Zhang Tianai and set off back to Dingxiang.
Now that the war has subsided, there is no need for the army to stay in Dingxiang. Hou Junji has a mission to take Li Mu back to Chang'an, so he can't leave yet. However, Li Ji still has the responsibility of annexing the state, so he must go first.
.
After seeing Li Ji off, Hou Junji also ordered his lieutenant to take some of his people back first. Only five thousand soldiers and horses were left behind, waiting for Li Mu to finish handling the affairs of Dingxiang.
Flying pigeons continued to send letters day and night, and Li Mu's words and deeds were all truthfully transmitted back to Chang'an. Hou Junji thought that Li Shimin would be very anxious since he specifically told him, but Li Shimin never urged him once, and only warned Hou Junji
Don't interfere with Li Mu doing anything, just bring him back.
In this way, Li Mu stayed for another half month. Holding Shangfang's sword, he exercised power on behalf of the emperor and announced that Dingxiang Zhechong Mansion would be promoted to Dingxiang Protectorate. He originally wanted Hou Junji to lead the Protector General from afar, but now
Given the situation, how could Hou Junji dare to accept the order given by Li Mu? The emperor was still hesitant about whether he would acknowledge it or not. If Li Mu was executed when he returned to Chang'an, wouldn't he have lost a comrade? So he refused to accept it.
Li Siwen was not qualified, so Li Mu had no choice but to make himself the Protector-General and take charge of the affairs of the Western Regions.
