On rainy days, there is less sound of rain hitting banana leaves, and I don’t know how much fun it has been lost.

I don't think he understands it either.

Not only the courtyard where he lived, after cleaning up, Luo Shen began to organize the entire backyard of the governor's mansion.

In this way, she finally became busy, and with Gao Huan every day, a few more days passed, and Hou Ding's birthday was approaching.

If you don’t hurry to get from Yicheng to Qiuchi Fangcheng where Hou Ding is located, it will take one or two days to go.

Li Mu prepared a birthday gift and brought a team of only dozens of people, as well as Jiang Tao, to set off one day in advance.

On the day of departure, Luo Shen got up early, changed his attitude over the past few days and was quite attentive to him. Not only did he take his clothes, but he also brought him breakfast and brought him water and towels. He was very attentive.

Li Mu knew that she was angry with him for not letting her walk with her, and she ignored him these days. When he came back tonight, she didn't talk much to her.

I was about to leave this morning, but suddenly I saw that her attitude changed drastically and was quite flattered to be so attentive to me.

After using breakfast, the servant said that Jiang Tao and others were waiting outside.

Luo Shen gave him, insisting on sending him to the door leading to the front hall.

Li Mu stopped, looked around the courtyard that was gradually becoming clean, and said gratefully: "Ami, thank you for your hard work. It has been a lot more neat in this place just a few days ago."

Luo Shen smiled behind his hands: "I have nothing to do anyway, and I'm idle. Besides, so many people help me."

Li Mu looked at her, and at this moment, she looked so cute. A few days ago, because she ignored her and had never touched her, she couldn't help but itchy palms and wanted to touch her, but there was a maid standing not far behind her. She had to force herself to hold back and said, "Then I'll go first. You get up early today. If you are sleepy, go back and have a good sleep. Don't worry, I'll go back in three or four days."

Luo Shen said, "You go."

Li Mu turned around and went. When he turned, he couldn't help but look back and took a look.

She was still standing there, smiling on her face and watching herself. Her heart couldn't help but feel warm, and she couldn't help but stop, brushing her hand at her, and signaling her to go back. Seeing her smiling brightly at herself, she turned around and her figure soon disappeared behind the door.

Li Mu left the gate of the governor's mansion, and Jiang Tao greeted him with a smile. The two of them said a few words, each got on their horses, took their entourage out of the city gate, and rode their horses towards Qiu Chi.

The next evening, the group entered the Fangcheng where Hou Ding was located.

Hou Dingyi's confidant deacon came outside the city to greet Li Mu and others, first sent him to the post house for a short rest, then took him to the Hou's mansion. When he walked outside the gate, he dismounted his horse and fisted, and said in embarrassment: "Governor Li, I'm really sorry. Can you rest for the rest of your life for the time being? Can you also wear a sword to solve it? It's not that my king does not believe in Governor Li, but he has always been so ruled. Please forgive me."

Li Mu gave a brief order, kept the person, and untied the sword. Fang smiled and said, "Can the deacon still search?"

The man smiled embarrassedly, "Governor Li is so serious, so I, Wang, naturally, believe in Governor Li. No, no." He said that, and bowed, hurriedly ordered his people to carry the gift Li Mu brought, and bring people into it.

Seeing that Jiang Tao looked at him, Li Mu looked a little worried, and said, "Take your brothers to rest for a while. Don't worry too much. I'll go and meet King Qiuchi."

Jiang Tao nodded, watched his back enter the door, turned around immediately, and hurriedly left.

The deacon led Li Mu through the front hall that was full of burning courtyards and outside a spacious hall.

The inside was full of people. Hou settled in the middle, and the left and right rows were all subordinate to Qiuchi and nobles of the Hou family.

The people of Qiuchi were deeply influenced by the Chinese language. Not only did they become acquainted with their own knowledge, but they also changed their previous habit of catching food on the ground. Everyone set up a banquet in front of them, with pig heads and sheep legs, laughing and laughing endlessly. Suddenly, a man from Han came out of the hall, standing tall and upright, and his posture was tall and straight, and his magnificent appearance was outstanding. They all looked over and looked at them silently, and the noisy laughter gradually stopped.

Hou Li sat in the table and was looking out of the hall. Finally, he saw Li Mu being attracted by the deacon. His eyes lit up and his face showed joy. He immediately stood up, stepped out, welcomed him in, led him to Hou Ding's seat, and smiled and said, "Father, he is the governor of Yicheng Li Mu. Governor Li is the hero of the world! I came here specially today to celebrate my father's birthday."

The hall was silent.

Li Mu looked at Hou Ding, and saw his long face and narrow eyes, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he was looking at him. When he saw a gift, he asked someone to carry the gift and smiled and said, "Li was here for the order of the court, and he was neighbor of the old hero. He heard that the old hero had wanted to come to visit him, but because of the bondage of all things, he could not make a move. Fortunately, the old hero was not surprised, but today he was destined to invite me to visit. Li Mu was honored. A mere slight gift would not be respected. Please accept it with a smile."

The lid of the box is opened, a box of brocade silk and silk, and a box of gold and utensils are all valuable things.

Hou Ding laughed and said, "As my son said, Governor Li is a hero who is not born in the world, and the so-called descendants are feared. I am just a mountain and old man who relies on the achievements of his ancestors to occupy this area. I celebrate my birthday today, thanks to Governor Li's admiration, and I am willing to come, and I am just a praising my face. Why should I be so proud?"

As he said that, he asked Hou Li to bring guests into his seat.

Hou Li smiled and led Li Mu to sit on an empty mat that was left near him in advance.

When Li Mucai took his seat, he toasted Hou Ding and everyone, and drank three cups himself, full of heroic spirit and eye-catching.

Hou Ding was chatting and laughing, and talked to Li Mu about Qiu Chi's customs and customs, and looked in a very good mood.

When the banquet atmosphere gradually became warm, a voice came from the opposite side: "Governor Li, I heard that after you come to Yicheng, recruit soldiers and people. It would be fine to open up the land. You recruit residents more and more. You are neighbors. Are you sharing the people of Qiuchi and taking advantage of Qiuchi?"

Li Mu looked up and saw that the middle-aged man with braids was talking, with a pair of triangular eyes and a scar on his cheek. He knew that he was Gan Qi, the leader of the Gan family of Qiuchi clan, and was also the wife's home of Hou Jian, the younger brother of Hou Li.

Gan Qi suddenly attacked, and the originally warm atmosphere suddenly solidified.

The hall became quiet again, and everyone stared at Li Mu with different expressions.

Hou Ding calmly, slowly picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

Li Mu was calm and calm, but smiled and looked at the opposite side: "You should be the leader of Gan Qi, right? I heard that over the years, the old hero Hou has established schools, educated the people, treated Jie and Han equally, and benevolence and righteousness. How could the people of Qiuchi live and work in peace and contentment and give up their existing homes and take over me? What I, Li Mu, recruited are all refugees who have nowhere to go. Since they are refugees, how can they take away your interests in Qiuchi? I am so frank and I don't know where the words of the leader of the clan come from."

After he finished speaking, everyone looked at each other, no one could respond, and even refuted it.

Gan Qi looked very ugly and sneered: "No matter how nice it is, it cannot hide your wolfish ambitions. I heard that you actually want to be an enemy of Xijin. I am surprised. With these two thousand people, even if you ask you to pull some more people in the future, how can you become an enemy of Xijin? It's simply a matter of hitting a stone with an egg, and you are overestimating your ability!"

Hou Li looked angry: "Gan Qi, do you think everyone is humble to the Xianbei people and wish they could surrender themselves to slaves? Governor Li defeated Yuan Jie with 6,000 troops that day. Who knows the battle in Ba County? Why can't he compete with the people of Xijing?"

Gan Qi snorted, looked at Hou Ding, who did not say a word, stood up from his seat and said loudly: "The King of Heaven, it's not that I am dissatisfied with the King of Heaven, but Li Mu, this person is a disaster! The Emperor of Xijing intends to make good with me Qiu Chi, and his sincerity can be seen. Since this is the case, why should I Qiu Chi have to talk to this Han people? Why would I take advantage of today and send him to the Western Jin Dynasty. In the future, my Qiu Chi will not only go to the neighbors but also be able to form an alliance with the Western Jin Dynasty. From then on, there will be no military force and peace will be fine. Isn't it the best strategy?"

Hou Li said angrily: "Gentle pray! Li Mu is a distinguished guest invited by my father. How dare you be rude? In order to force me to retreat, you secretly colluded with the Xianbei people. Do you think I don't know? The Xianbei people are called alliances, but it is actually a threat. This time the messenger came to my Qiuchi, and was arrogant and respected me Qiuchi. How could you get the sincerity in your mouth? Gu Huilong was even more a jackal, tiger and leopard. When he instigated rebellion, my mother's shame was not yet clear. You even instigated my father to surrender to the enemy today. What is your intention?"

He turned to Hou Ding, knelt down with a thud, and said, "Father, how can you be willing to swallow the shame of the past and follow the guidance of the Xianbei people?"

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense and extremely nervous.

Hou Ding's face was gloomy and his two gazes flashed, and he said, "Governor Li, my son and subordinates, for your sake, are openly arguing with me in my birthday hall. What do you have to say?"

Li Muyi sat behind the desk, with a free and easy posture, and said with a smile: "Since the old hero asked me to speak, Li said a few words. Before he spoke, he had a gift, and he had just handed it to the deacon, and had not given it. Please check it out first."

He patted his palms, and the deacon stepped inside quickly, holding up a bag wrapped in black cloth with both hands.

Li Mu stood up, untied his burden, and smiled and said, "Please see."

Everyone looked at it and saw that the bag was wrapped in a human head that had been sprinkled with lime.

The man had a high forehead and aphrodisiac, his eyes wide open, and the blood scab on his neck was purple and black. He looked like he had been dead for many days, but his face was lifelike, and the extreme horror before his death seemed to be coming to his face.

Everyone recognized it at a glance and was shocked.

This head is nothing else, it is the Xianbei envoy Gu Huiwu who just left a few days ago!
