Chapter 44: Chuan Guoyu Seal (2)

This shock was extraordinary. Li Mu almost fell off his horse. He hurriedly grabbed the reins and confirmed and asked, "What the Empress said is serious?"

"Of course it is true. I am the queen of the previous dynasty. When His Majesty was killed, the jade seal was in my hands and I hid it in a safe place. No one in the world except me knew about it." Empress Xiao spoke quickly and anxiously, saying: "If you send me to Lizhou, I will tell you the whereabouts of the jade seal of the imperial seal. If you present the jade seal to Emperor Tang, you will be able to be a marquis for this. How about?"

Li Mu calmed down from shock and said, "Why did the Empress go to Lizhou?"

Seeing that Li Mu did not refuse directly, Queen Xiao felt hope in her heart and said, "Yang, the wife of the governor of Lizhou, is a former Sui royal family. In the past, I took great care of her and wanted to join her. I have reached this age and I just want to spend my life peacefully and have nothing to ask for."

Li Mu said: "It's the same when Empress comes to Chang'an. Your Majesty will treat you well."

"Sir, why don't you pretend to be ignorant? I believe that Emperor Tang will treat me well, but my little grandson... can you guarantee that Emperor Tang will treat him well? The Sui Dynasty has been destroyed, and only this bloodline is left. If I can't protect him, what face can I see the ancestors and ancestors in the nine springs? I know what I am worried about in my heart. After arriving in Lizhou, my grandparents and grandchildren will be hidden and will never appear in front of others again. Please mercy!"

"This..." Li Mu did not answer. It was not that he had no answer in his heart, but that he did not understand what Empress Xiao was thinking. Li Tang had ruled the world, so Lizhou was not the territory of the Tang Dynasty? If she remembered correctly, Yang, the wife of the governor of Lizhou, should be Wu Zetian's mother. Li Mu had watched "The Legend of Wu Zetian". Although she was the daughter of the former Sui clan, it was unknown whether she dared to take Empress Xiao in. Even if she thought of her old love and wanted to take in, would Wu Shishi was Duke Ying of the Tang Dynasty, would he agree? Or would he have any handle in the hands of Empress Xiao, which would ensure that after the two grandparents and grandchildren arrived in Lizhou, the warrior would not report their whereabouts to Li Shimin.

For a moment, Li Mu was really a little confused, so he had to use a dragging method and said, "This is a big deal, let me think about it carefully. Let's do this. When I arrive in Mayi, I will give the Empress a reply."

Queen Xiao did not doubt that he was there and said, "Then I will wait for the news from the Lord."

Li Mu nodded and responded vaguely. He had nothing to say along the way. He was about to reach Mayi, and Li Mu came to the end of the convoy and walked side by side with Wang Hu.

"Brother Wang, will I ask you something?"

Wang Hu was stunned. When he heard Li Mu's words, he responded a little slower, and replied in a daze, "What's the matter, you said."

Li Mu felt that he was stranger and said, "Have your Majesty said that you would offer the imperial seal to be a marquis?"

"The Jade Seal of the Kingdom?" Wang Hu frowned slightly and said, "What are you asking about this?"

Li Mu did not hide it, and repeated what Empress Xiao said just now. Wang Hu frowned and said, "I have heard a little about the imperial seal. This is a long way to say it. It is said that Yu Wenhua and he did not want to bear the stigma of regicide, but he just wanted to force Emperor Yang to abdicate. Emperor Yang had already agreed, but because he could not hand over the imperial seal, Yu Wenhua and he felt that he had been deceived. After Emperor Yang's death, the imperial seal was gone again.

It has appeared. After the founding of the State, the Supreme Emperor once entrusted the counties and prefectures to search. After finding a few, they were all considered fake, and then they were left alone. After Your Majesty ascended the throne, he issued another order to search for it, but still couldn't find it. Your Majesty felt deeply regretful and had to carve the 'Appointment Treasure' instead. As for the matter of offering the jade seal of the country to be granted to the marquis, it seemed that when the Supreme Emperor sent the orders to all directions, he wrote it on the notice. Did Your Majesty say this? I am really sure."

Li Mu nodded, Wang Hu thought he was moved and said, "Li Mu, no matter whether this matter is true or false, it must not be done. Empress Xiao and Yang Zhengdao are sensitive. Even if you offer the imperial seal, if you want His Majesty to know the cause and effect, you will inevitably be punished."

"I was just curious and didn't want to agree." Li Mu smiled and said, "For such a forbidden matter, my consistent principle is to hide as far as I can." As he said that, he looked at Wang Hu and said, "It's you, Brother Wang, since you left the city, I have seen you be absent-minded. What are you thinking?"

"I..." Wang Hu opened his mouth, and the words came to his mouth. He swallowed again, shook his head, and said, "I didn't think about anything, I just felt a little tired."

"Fut?" Li Mu laughed silently and said, "Brother Wang, although you and I have not known each other for a long time, this month has been a daily meeting. I have never seen you "Fut" before. I must have something to worry about. Tell me quickly. Maybe I can come up with an idea for you."

"It's really okay..."

"Can you treat me as an outsider?"

"This..." Wang Hu was a person who was not good at speaking. He was squeezed by Li Mu and didn't know what to say. He sighed heavily and said, "Forget it, I'll tell you. In fact, today, the young master received two letters, and the other came from Lingzhou. The general told the young master that Princess Yicheng had been entangled in hundreds of Turkic sins and wanted to take Dingxiang to Tuyuhun. The young master knew that Dingxiang's guarding power would be difficult to defend the city, so he concealed the news and asked you to take Queen Xiao first."

Li Mu was shocked: "What should he do?"

"As the magistrate of the Tang Dynasty, the young master has the responsibility to defend the territory. Besides, he is the son of the general, and the glory of the family does not allow him to abandon the city and flee. The young master said that this time he fulfilled his wish. If Princess Yicheng really comes to attack, he will seize the city and defend it. If the city is broken, he will sacrifice himself for the city! I was in a daze just now, thinking about how to tell you so that I can hide it from you and return. I was ordered by the general to protect the safety of the young master. How could I put him in a dangerous position and leave first?"

After Wang Hu said that, he seemed to have removed a burden and said, "I was relieved to say it, and I don't have to think about how to tell you. I'm going back now. Take your brothers and be careful all the way."

"Stop!" Li Mu grabbed Wang Hu's reins and said, "I want someone to go back, but it's me who goes back."

"No!" Wang Hu said: "Don't let down the young master's wishes. I am alone. The general is like my father. The young master is like my brothers and sisters. I have a reason to stay. If you don't, I'll go back. You can let go!"

"I'll go back!" Li Mu stared at Wang Hu and said, "I know you are worried about Brother Siwen, but a real man can do things emotionally. Brother Siwen asked you to protect Empress Xiao to Chang'an. This is a big deal. Who will protect you when you go back? If you encounter an unexpected road, who will take this responsibility? Brother Siwen treats me as a brother, how can I escape when I die? Or I will go back, Brother Wang escorts Empress Xiao to Chang'an and take good care of my mother and Qiaoqiao. Li Mu is grateful."

"Li Mu!"

"Wang Hu!" Li Muduan shouted, "I am the county magistrate, and I am older than you. Now I have the final say. If you don't obey orders, I will ask someone to tie you up! If you dare to leave, I will commit suicide in front of you! I will say it again, I will go back! You escort Queen Xiao to Chang'an and take good care of my mother and Qiaoqiao. If I don't go back, you will take my mother and Qiaoqiao to find Lord Tang Jian. He promised me that he would take care of my family!"

Wang Hu was still about to speak, and Li Mu grabbed his hand and when he let go, a bag of silver was placed in his hand.

"Leave it to Qiaoqiao for me. Believe me, since I can escape from the Turkic camp, I have great fortune and great fortune. Even in the worst case, I can still lead Brother Siwen to escape from Dingxiang City!"
