Seeing Ergou still hesitating, Li Mu said again: "I have even thought about the names of your group, so I will take a word from your name, called 'Paparazzi', what do you think?"

"Dog, puppy?" Ergou said hurriedly: "Marty, the villain is called Zhao Shuangxi..."

Li Mu said seriously: "Ergou, you don't understand. How can you use your real name when you are stuck in the world?"

Ergou was stunned and said, "Why can't you use your real name?"

"You think, it is inevitable that people in the martial arts world will be bumpy and bumpy. It's okay to encounter small things. If they encounter big things, there is no fighting or killing? If you use real names, your enemies can find your family, but if you use fake names, you will only commit a single person, and your family will be safe. Isn't the word "filial piety and righteousness" that people in the martial arts world pay attention to? You should understand this principle!"

Ergou was completely 'brainwashed' by Li Mu, and nodded blankly and said, "Marquis is right, just like the 'fleaf on the drum'. Ergou is my nickname. Yes, yes, yes, I can no longer mention my real name in the future."

"It should be like this." Li Mu said, as if recalling the past, he said, "I remember when I was thirteen or fourteen years old, I was wandering around the city of Mayi City and had a lot of fighting with people. The name I used at that time was not my real name. Do you want to know my nickname in the world?"

Ergou quickly said, "Of course I want to know. The Marquis's name must be well-known in the world!"

"It's average, it's just a nice sound." Li Mu waved his hand modestly and said, "My nickname was called Yunlong. In Mayi, when I mentioned the three words "Li Yunlong", no one would recognize it. As long as I fight with others, the number must be these three words. As the saying goes, 'Jinlin is originally an object in the pool, and it turns into a dragon when it encounters wind and clouds.' My name is very famous, otherwise I wouldn't have been here today!"

Li Mu was talking nonsense seriously and almost made him happy. Ergou believed it without a doubt, Yunlong! There was actually a dragon in the lord's nickname. No wonder he has grown into a dragon among human beings. Suddenly thinking of his name, Ergou couldn't help but sigh. Dogs and dragons are incomparable. It seems that his life is the fate of a lackey!

Li Mu patted Ergou on the shoulder and said, "Don't be discouraged, what's wrong with the dog? Dogs are good friends of humans. You Ergou can also be a Xiaotian dog! It depends on how you do it! Don't worry, since I have pointed out this errand to you, I will definitely teach you how to do it. Just follow my instructions."

Ergou nodded archly. After Li Mu's repeated foolings, he had already shown signs of being "silly". He believed whatever Li Mu said. He also thought about it. It was better to hang out with Li Mu than to follow anyone. Since he had made up his mind to be a lackey, he had to listen to what Li Mu said, and then he would think about it and be obedient.

Li Mu was also very satisfied with his attitude. Talent is talent. You don’t have to be too smart, just be obedient. People who are too smart always have too many ambitions, which is not easy to use.

Suddenly, Ergou seemed to remember something, patted his forehead and said, "Marty, Feng Si asked me to ask when will the Marquis be free? He will send the money he owed you to the mansion."

Li Mu blinked and said in a daze: "Who is Feng Si?"

Ergou was even more confused and said, "Mr. Marquis, have you forgotten? You went to the West Market to buy paper. The villain took you to Fengsi's shop. You said you would lend Fengsiqian to him and ask him to specially print newspapers. Now the paper shop has been out for several days. Don't you know about this?"

"Ah!" Li Mu remembered this time. If Ergou hadn't reminded him, he would have forgotten that there was such a thing. It was like this. He lent Feng Siqian and asked him to open a paper shop by himself. He just lent it out a lot. He forgot about it.

But it doesn't matter. He wanted to lend Feng Sier eighteen courage, but he didn't dare to fool him. He said, "You can send him anytime you want. You don't have to hand it over to me. The account in the mansion is all my concubine, so it's the same for her."

"The villain will tell him tomorrow when he sees him."

While talking, Bai Naoer came back on a donkey. Seeing that he hadn't brought any food, Li Mu asked him: "My father-in-law, why did he come back empty-handed?"

Bai Naoer got off the donkey and said hurriedly: "Son-in-law, I have been walking around but I haven't seen anything good. I happened to pass by heaven and earth. Thinking that the dishes there must be good, I went to ask about the price. This table of banquet cost me ten taels of silver! But it's okay, as long as the son-in-law is happy, I will be willing to give up how much money!"

Ten taels of face!

It is considered to be of medium status in heaven and earth.

But Li Mu was very satisfied. After all, it was Bai Naoer who treated him. He could take out ten taels, which was like digging his own meat. He was just hungry on this day and played mahjong at noon. He didn't have time to eat, so he filled in half his stomach. It was time to eat some good food.

The group returned to the backyard, and in a short while, the carriage for delivering food on heaven and earth arrived. Eight food boxes and eight dishes were still hot when they were served on the table. This was also what Li Mu thought of. As long as the food delivery service in Chang'an City can be afforded, the chefs of each government can save money.

After a random meal, it was almost time for the door to close. Li Mu told Bai Naoer to find someone to carve mahjong quickly, and not to sell it cheaply. After the instructions, he took Bai Qiaoqiao and Li Zhien home.

As soon as he passed the gate of Anyifang, Li Mu saw a carriage parked at his door from afar. He thought that there were still customers so late. When he approached, he found that it was the carriage on Li Ji's mansion. He just thought it was Li Bi who came because Li Ji never took a carriage.

But when he entered the yard and came to the lobby, he found that it was Li Ji who was waiting, so he came over to meet him quickly.

After seeing the li, Li Mu hurriedly asked, "How long have you been waiting for your adoptive father?"

"It's been a while... it's okay, just come back." Li Ji's expression was a little stunned, as if he was in his heart. When he saw Li Mu, he could only squeeze out a smile.

Li Mu thought he was upset about the Bingzhou affairs, so he conveyed the conversation with Li Shimin today to him. After listening carefully to Li Mu, Li Ji said: "I'm not here for this matter. Your Majesty's will has arrived. I also expected that Your Majesty would agree to my request. I came to you for something else."

When Li Mu heard the word "entrusted" and focused, he said, "Personal Father, please tell me, as long as I can do my best."

Li Ji did not say it directly, but sighed and said, "Li Mu, do you think I'm too careful?"

"Uh..." Li Mu was embarrassed to say, the ancients emphasized that 'the son did not tell the father's fault', and the adopted son was also a son. It would be fine if Li Mu muttered a few words behind his back, but it would be too rude to blame him in person.

But his hesitation had already shown his meaning. Li Ji smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that I'm too careful, but that I have to do this!"

Li Ji was silent for a moment, spoke slowly, and said, "You are my adopted son, and I have nothing to hide from you. This time I asked His Majesty to go to Bingzhou. In addition to testing Your Majesty's intentions and convenient care for Siwen, there is another reason that I want to hide away, stay away from the court and the center."

Li Mu was puzzled and said, "Entertainment Father, everyone wants to go further. Why do you go against the rules and stay away from the court?"

"This is my last resort." Li Ji sighed again and said, "Do you remember the factions divided in the court that I told you when you first entered the court?"

"Of course I remember." Li Mu nodded.

Li Ji continued, "Actually, I didn't say a word that day, and this sentence is that there is a difference between closeness and alienation. Li Mu, you remember my words. No matter what faction is, it is better than 'Jian in the Emperor'. What is Jian in the Emperor'? Jian in the Emperor's Heart is, you do one point, Your Majesty remembers you two points. Just like Changsun Wuji in the court, as long as Your Majesty is in one day, he will have the same person as 'Jian in the Emperor's Heart'. Because he is not only a hero of the Dragon, but also a relative, but also a friend of Your Majesty. Such a person will never lose his holy favor."

"And I, and General Li Jing. We are all surrendered generals, and we are not under Your Majesty's account. We started a little short of a moment. This is irreparable, do you understand?" Li Ji looked at Li Mu and said, "Why did General Li Jing and I finally remain neutral in the Xuanwu Gate Incident back then? This is also the reason. First, the situation was not clear at that time, and both sides had the possibility of victory. Second, even if we choose the side, so what if we are on Your Majesty's side? In Your Majesty's heart, we are still outsiders. As for the Dragon, our contribution is also a little short of a moment!"

Li Ji patted his thighs and said, "People like me are not considered to be 'Silent in the Emperor's Heart'. What I hope is not to do one point, Your Majesty can see two points, but I do one point, Your Majesty can see one point, so I am content. I am different from General Li Jing. After Your Majesty ascended the throne, he cannot lead the war personally, and General Li Jing must be in charge, but I do not have such weight. Therefore, General Li Jing can be promoted to the Secretary of the Shangshu Youpushe as a military general, but I also made great contributions, but could not take over as Minister of War. This position fell into Hou Junji, who had not achieved his strength in pacifying the Turks."

"Hou Junji..." Li Ji gritted his teeth. Although he was already tolerant enough, Li Mu could still hear his unwillingness: "At the beginning, he was just a reckless man. He made merits and gained His Majesty's trust. After the Xuanwu Gate Incident, all his official positions and titles were promoted three levels in a row! Even His Majesty did not hesitate to give his face to General Li Jing to teach him military tactics. What kind of favor is this? With the merits of Hou Junji, he is not worthy of this treatment. But now he can take over as the Minister of War? Isn't it because he is 'Jian' in the Emperor'?"

"I can't be as irreplaceable as General Li Jing. I'm not as good as Hou Junji's "Jian Zai's Emperor's Heart". Staying in Chang'an is just a general and training for garrisons. If I don't have the opportunity to stand out, I might as well go to Bingzhou to guard it. I can make some contributions. But after I left, I was worried that your second uncle would not be able to bear this family business!"
