Gao Yin was drunk for most of the night. At this moment, people were awake and had to report that Li Mu brought Luo Shen to visit him. He hurriedly went out to greet him in person. After taking the seat, he paid attention to Ah Mei. She listened to her talk with Li Mu, with a smile on her face. It seemed that last night's bridal night should have been smooth, so she breathed a little relieved. While talking, she mentioned that she set off for Jiankang tomorrow.

Jingkou is not close to Jiankang, but it is not very far away, and the waterway is only a few days.

But in the feeling of Luo Shen, as soon as Gao Yin left, he seemed to be completely left here.

Although I didn't want my elder brother to worry about it, my reluctance and sadness in my heart were inevitably revealed in my eyes.

Gao Yin and Li Mu seemed to have noticed it. They both stood together and turned to look at her.

Luo Shen suppressed his sorrow and turned his eyes to Gao Yin. He smiled and said, "I'm sorry, my brother, the road is smooth. After I go back, please ask my brother to tell Ami to Aye Niang, "A family is kind, treat me very well, and let them rest assured."

Gao Yin nodded and looked at Li Mu: "Jingchen, what are your plans in the future?"

Li Mu retracted his gaze that fell on the face of Luo Shen and turned to Gao Yin: "Because I am newly married, Xu Situ has returned for a while. After I finish, I still want to return to the army."

Gao Yin pondered for a while.

"Before I sent Ah Mei to Jingkou, my uncle had something to say. After you get married, I would like to ask Xu Situ to transfer you to the prime minister of Rencheng, Shitou City. This position is a little more leisurely, but don't worry, you won't leave you there for a long time. In the future, you can go to Guangling again to show your strengths. Don't worry, uncle speaks, Xu Situ will release you. What do you think?"

Guangling, Yangzhou in Jiangbei, is the power of the Gao family, and it is also the most solid buffer zone in Jiangbei. It guards Jiankang and is extremely important in geography. Gao Yun, the uncle of Luoshen, is now the governor of Yangzhou and the local official.

When Luo Shen learned that his father had such a plan, he couldn't help but look forward to it.

If Li Mu was transferred to Shitou City, it would be obvious that he would have more reason to travel between Jiankang and Jingkou, and even stayed in Jiankang for a while.

She couldn't help looking at Li Mu.

But he looked as usual and said, "Thank you, my father-in-law, for his good intentions. But Li Mu has been in the upper reaches for many years and is familiar with the military information of the upper reaches. He also has a comradeship with his brothers. If he goes to Guangling, it may be inconvenient."

Luo Shen was stunned.

Gao Yin was also a little surprised and looked at Li Mu: "Are you afraid of being told by others that you are clinging to me with a nepotism? A real man should be a good person and do not care about the details. Why fear others' words? You don't have to rush to refuse. If you think about it, it will be not too late to reply to me."

Li Mu said: "My father-in-law is very kind, but it is not Li Mu's wish to go to Guangling. I beg my eldest brother to apologize to his father-in-law on behalf of Li Mu."

Gao Yin was obviously a little unhappy, frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said, "Forget it, you have other aspirations and don't force it, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Li Mu thanked him and gave Gao Yin a guilty ceremony.

Gao Yin waved his hand and glanced at Luo Shen.

The smile on Luo Shen's face was almost out of control.

After saying goodbye to Gao Yin, the smile on Luo Shen fell off. He lifted his skirt and walked quickly on the car. The skirt followed her steps, surging like water waves.

Li Mu, who was behind him, reached out and seemed to want to help her, but she avoided her. Without even looking at him, she climbed into the car.

The ox cart returned to the Li family and said nothing. When he arrived at the door of the house, the god of Luo came down and was greeted by the servants who heard the sound.

Li Mu did not follow in, stood under the steps at the door, watched her figure disappear from the screen wall, and got on the horse.

He arrived at a Gaosheng restaurant in the north of the city. The guy at the door didn't recognize him. When he saw him coming, he rushed to meet him and smiled and said, "Is Li Langjun coming? Jiang Er is already waiting for Li Langjun in the elegant seat!"

Li Mu nodded, handed the horse rein and whip to the servant, entered, quickly climbed to the second floor, entered a private room, and pushed the door open.

Jiang Tao was sitting cross-legged on the mat when he saw him coming, and stood up to greet him.

Li Mu took the seat, and the two of them met. The guy served the food and bowed and left.

The two of them drank a drink and then got to the point.

Jiang Tao said: "In recent months, I have been secretly paying attention to the movements of the Tianshi Sect. Those people regularly gather in a land temple in Tianshui Village outside the city to distribute some rice and flour to the people and preach the teachings to attract believers to join. At present, there is nothing special."

Nowadays, Taoism is prevalent. From royal families to civilians, there are many believers. Some famous Tianshi even became guests of the nobles’ banquet, and were extremely popular.

Li Mu pondered.

"Oh, yes." Jiang Tao said again, "I heard recently that there was an altar master here. He was a woman. It is said that the Taoist Dharma is profound and often covered with a veil. No one can see his true face. Women come and go, and they are surrounded by people. There are many believers, and countless people are willing to contribute their wealth. This woman's status in the religion seems to be not low."

Li Mu said: "I am often not in Jingkou. Many things here are for me. The Tianshi Sect won people's hearts and their power expanded rapidly. Almost every family believed in the Three Wu areas, which is a hidden danger sooner or later. We are underestimated and have no other place to do anything, but the Jingkou area cannot be taken over by the Tianshi Sect. Otherwise, once there is a change in the future, there will be endless disasters."

Jiang Tao said: "Don't worry, I will pay attention."

He glanced at Li Mu opposite him and finally asked, "Jingchen, you have married a daughter of Gao. In the future, you will want to turn to Gao?"

Li Mu raised his eyes: "What do you think, brother?"

Jiang Tao hesitated and said, "After I asked, I will say it. In this Jiangbei War, Gao made his first contribution, but the court has not seen any rewards to Gao. It can be seen that the great achievements shocked the master and the monarch and ministers were dissatisfied. The head of the Gao family has always been peaceful, and the court struggles often take the right to balance the situation. Moreover, this time, because of your request to marry Gao's daughter, it has affected all parties. Gao Lu and the two families are dissatisfied, and Gao Xu's fight is openly floating on the surface, unlike before."

"If it was correct, Mr. Gao might have the intention to retire now. At this time, you go and join us."

He stopped.

Li Mu smiled: "I'm not hiding it from my second brother, I came back from my eldest brother Gao Yin and refused to support the Gao family."

Jiang Tao said ah, focused for a moment, and suddenly said, "Jingchen, you and I have known each other for many years. How old are you? I have just taken the name of a brother, but I know that you have extraordinary power and even more ambitions. I said bluntly that you are asking for marriage to the daughter of Gao this time, making yourself the target of public criticism, and your future is unpredictable, unlike your usual style. What are you asking for? If the situation is in the future and the turbulent situation is turbulent, what are your plans for the future?"

Li Mu played with a wine cup in his hand and said, "Beixia just suffered a great defeat. Now the interior is divided and there will be chaos soon. At that time, there may be war in Jiangbei. If I want to do something, how can I be a place to stand for a long time?"

Jiang Tao frowned: "The Xu family has been operating Jingzhou for many years. The Lu family has held the land of the Three Wus, and the Gao family has its own masters. The upstream and downstream of the river and the inland hinterland have their own masters."

He shook his head: "It's hard!"

Li Mu put down the wine cup, dipped his fingers in the wine, drew a tortuous line on the table, which was for the river, and pointed at a few o'clock, and finally stopped at a place north of the Yangtze River.

"Yicheng?"

He lost his voice, extremely surprised.

Li Mu nodded: "That is, to achieve great things, you must have your own base. Now Gao, Xu, Lu and the three families are suspicious of each other and have no time to take care of anything else. Next, if a war starts in Jiangbei, I will be ordered to cross the river to fight. Yicheng County is located in Bingzhou, and you can take Jinyang and Chang'an in the north. Go south to Xiangyang and guard Jiangling, which is an excellent strategic place."

Jiang Tao kept shook his head: "Your idea makes sense. But Yicheng is sandwiched between the north and south combat. After years of war, I heard that the people there fled. Now the population has withered, the fields are deserted, the corpses are everywhere, and jackals are rampant and thorns are growing. It seems that it is an empty city, and even the northerners have abandoned it. If you take it away, how can you gain a foothold for a long time?"

Li Mu smiled slightly: "The things are done by people. What the people want is just a word of peace. As long as the surrounding situation is stabilized, the people will come to hear the news and gather in the land reclamation. With people, everything will be easy."

Jiang Tao looked at Li Mu.

When talking about these, the young face revealed a kind of impressing depth, perseverance and calmness.

It seems like the world is like chess, and he is a man who picks up his puppy and fights with the sky.

For the first time in his life, Jiang Tao felt his heart turbulent and his blood was boiling.

He understood what his brother wanted.

The times create heroes.

In troubled times, a truly powerful and powerful person is needed to conquer all directions and end completely.

He had a intuition that Li Mu was the one who rose up to the sky.

For thirty years, the already dormant and silent ambition in his body that had been taught to his ancestors was suddenly awakened at this moment.

He sincerely felt a strong impulse to be willing to be driven by his power. He stood up from his position, took a few steps back, and bowed respectfully to him: "If you respect me, Jiang Tao will follow the advice and do my best!"

When Luo Shen saw that his elder brother returned to the Li family, he was with Li's mother during the day. He saw her sitting in front of the spinning wheel, and he skillfully twisted the yarn and spinning threads.

The old spinning wheel swayed with her, making a sound, mixed with A Ting's gushing and gossiping, and the day passed quickly. After dinner, it was dark, and Luoshen returned to his room.

Li Mu hasn't seen anyone yet.

Luo Shen took a shower and when his hair was dry, it was not too early, so he went to bed and fell asleep. However, he was still in a state of fire in his heart. He forced himself to endure it. How could he sleep? With his eyes closed, he didn't know how long it took, but he heard a sound of footsteps outside the door. After a while, the door was gently pushed open.

Li Mu returned and entered with slight hands.

Luo Shen opened his eyes, turned his face, and saw him take off his clothes through a floor of tents, and went to the bathroom, as if he had washed it with the remaining cold water there. After a moment, he came out naked with his upper body.

Although there was a tent separated, I still vaguely saw him not wearing a top.

The shoulders are wide, the waist and back are straight, and the lines are smooth, as if there is a slight stunning force that bursts out at any time.

Luo Shen's heart was beating, and he didn't dare to look at it anymore, so he suddenly closed his eyes.

There was a slight rustling sound in his ears, as if he was wearing clothes.

After a while, Luo Shen quietly opened his eyes again and saw that others were lying on the seat. Like last night, soon, the sound of steady breathing came into the tent.

He seemed to lie down and fell asleep soon.

Luo Shen stared at the hazy figure who was motionless across the tent. During the day, things were rolling in his heart one by one, and his anger became stronger and stronger. How could he sleep?

I rolled around on the bed, rolled several times, and suddenly I couldn't help it anymore. I suddenly turned over and got up, lifted the tent and poked my head out.
