The letter was sent by Li Ji. The letter said that after searching for Princess Yicheng for more than a month, someone found her trace. On that day, the Turkic camp broke out, and she gathered hundreds of Turkic remnants to lie dormant in the desert, and then bypassed the army to blockade and head south. Li Ji guessed that her final destination was Tuyuhun. If this is true, she would most likely take advantage of the emptiness of Dingxiang City and robbed and then left, so that Li Siwen would be more careful.

Li Siwen is not a fool. If he hadn't seen Empress Xiao and Yang Zhengdao, he might not have taken this letter too seriously. But since Empress Xiao and Yang Zhengdao are here, the chance of Princess Yicheng coming to Dingxiang is 100%. She is not for robbery, she is for Yang Zhengdao, the only male member of the former Sui royal family.

Almost the moment he finished reading the letter, Li Siwen made a decision. The play he played with Wang Hu was so that Li Mu could leave with peace of mind. Although the letter said that Princess Yicheng only won over hundreds of Turkic remnants, there was no defense force in Dingxiang City at present. If the Turkic people came to attack, they would definitely not be able to defend it. Li Siwen, as a county magistrate, had the responsibility to defend the territory. Besides, he was the son of Li Ji, and the family glory would never allow him to escape in the battle. Li Mu was different. He should have been rewarded in Chang'an, but he stayed in Dingxiang City as the county magistrate under Li Siwen's obstruction. Li Siwen did not allow him to miss Li Mu's future and his life.

When Li Mu returned home, Sun had not yet left the house, Qiaoqiao was at home. When he told the matter, both mother and mother felt very sudden. But the emperor's order was difficult to violate, and the imperial edict was issued, so he had to leave even if he didn't want to leave. The mother and mother hurriedly packed up. Li Mu came to the shop on the west side of the street, and he had to tell Bai Naoer. Not long after Bai Naoer got up, the family was eating porridge in the yard. Seeing Li Mu coming, Bai Naoer thought he was doing yesterday and smiled quickly. His wife Wang, who had reiterated, also greeted her very enthusiastically, for fear that something was wrong and Li Mu would look for her bad luck.

Li Mu was too lazy to argue and said directly: "Father-in-law, I'm here to find you this time. I have something to tell you. Your Majesty has a decree to call me into Chang'an and set off today. My mother and Qiaoqiao, I will leave soon." He took out two house deeds from his arms and handed them to Bai Naoer, and said: "These are land deeds from both shops, and you will give them to you. You can keep some of the money you get from the sale. Just treat it as Qiaoqiao's filial piety. In the future, when I settle down in Chang'an, a letter will be sent back, just wait. You don't have to worry about Gensheng. I have already explained to the county magistrate, and he will take care of it. I have to take away the wine brewer in the workshop, and I will ask someone to demolish it later!"

"So anxious?" Bai Naoer heard Li Mu say a long list of words, but he couldn't even understand why he suddenly came to the order. Why did he call Li Mu to Chang'an? This trip is a good thing or a bad thing. Could it be that he would become a high-ranking official? He was full of doubts and had no time to ask him. Seeing that Li Mu was leaving, Bai Naoer quickly said what he wanted to say most: "Son-in-law, don't take this wine-making guy away. Here he goes to Chang'an for thousands of miles, and it's hard to get a lot of trouble. Why would you do another set when you go to Chang'an. I'll pay you money, so stay here."

Li Mu had already walked to the door, and when he heard this, he looked back at him, and without saying a word, he turned around and walked out. Seeing this, Wang said sarcastically: "Don't be so clever, people are going to be the ones who are going to be Chang'an Face Lord. Can you be fooled by you?"

"How can this be fooled? Can you speak? I am his father-in-law, and I have a closer relationship? I can't believe me, so how can I have such a son-in-law!"

Wang lowered his head to clean up the dishes and didn't even raise his head: "You dare to say a few words at this time, and even dare not let go of the fart in front of others!"

"You don't need to say it!" Bai Naoer roared in anger and went out to chase Li Mu. But Li Mu was riding a horse, so he could not catch up with him. He had to go to Li Mu's house and talk to Bai Qiaoqiao.

Li Mu came out of the street, turned a corner, came to the construction site, and asked a few people to help him move things. When he went to Chang'an, just like last time he moved from Mayi, he couldn't get the big ones, but he had to carry the small ones. He didn't know the price of Chang'an. Although he now has more than 100 taels of silver, it would be better to save some.

The distillation equipment was dismantled here, packed the carriage, and seven or eight people helped. It took a whole morning to get everything done. Three ox carts were loaded. Li Mu took out his usual money and rewarded them to the people who helped him work. The team came to the yamen, and Queen Xiao was ready. Li Siwen found a carriage from somewhere, and asked their grandchildren to sit, and prepared another ox cart for food. Five cars mixed into a convoy, clamped the carriage in the middle, and Wang Hu was protected by the people on the front, back and left and right. Everyone was covered with hangings, and several bags of arrows were prepared. Li Mu looked at it and felt a little exaggerated, but he thought that this preparation might be to protect Queen Xiao, so he didn't feel strange. He said goodbye to Li Siwen, and the two of them had a drink. Li Siwen suddenly started crying, crying for no reason, and quickly got on the horse. When it was half past noon, the group left Dingxiang City.

After leaving the city wall for more than two miles, Li Mu looked back and saw that Li Siwen was still on the city wall. The distance was too far, and people could no longer see their faces clearly, leaving only a blurry shadow. Li Mu shook his head speechlessly and said to Wang Hu beside him: "The county magistrate is so sentimental. He has gone so far, but he is still on the top of the city."

"Um..." Wang Hu responded vaguely, without making any response, and said, "Hurry up and hurry up. You have to arrive in Mayi before dark, otherwise you will sleep on the road."

Li Mu looked at Wang Hu, felt his expression strange, and frowned slightly, but said nothing. At this time, the message came forward and said that Empress Xiao was summoned. Li Mu drove his horse to the carriage. The group led him, so Empress Xiao was naturally looking for him.

"What is the empress's order? But it's okay. The subordinates do their best to do it."

Queen Xiao lifted the curtain and said, "I don't know what to call this lord."

"I dare not call myself an lord in front of the empress, but my official surname is Li and Mu."

"Li Mu." Empress Xiao read Li Mu's name and said, "I have recorded it. I am young and promising, and it's very good."

"Empress, praise me." Li Mu thought to himself, was this old lady bored or something? She was talking about family matters without any trouble, and said, "If Empress is fine, she will have a good rest. There is still a long way to Mayi." After saying that, Li Mu was about to leave, and Empress Xiao quickly said, "Li Mu, wait a moment."

"Empress?"

Queen Xiao waved and said, "Get closer, I have a big thing to tell you."

Li Mu looked at Queen Xiao vigilantly, but seeing that she had no weapon in her hand and was so old, she seemed to have nothing to worry about, so she leaned closer as she said.

Queen Xiao lowered her voice and said, "Li Mu, I want to ask you for something. If you agree, I will give you a great contribution."

Li Mu said: "Empress, I can't decide your business."
