Chapter 290 Expanding Business

Li Mu heard the caution in Dugu Jiu's tone, couldn't help but smile, came out of the carriage, sat with him on the shaft, reached out to put his hand on his shoulder, and said, "You and my brother, just say something, why are you so cautious?"

Li Mu put his hand on his shoulders, which made Dugu Jiu feel uncomfortable. He has been a pampered young master since he was a child. Because of his voice, he felt that he had little contact with others. Over time, he developed an introverted personality. It was not that he hated others to touch him too much, but he was instinctively unaccustomed to it.

But Li Mu is not an outsider, he is the eldest brother. Although Dugu Jiu's body is stiff, he did not act like a resistance.

The carriage moved forward, Dugu Jiu was silent for a while, organized the language, and said, "Brother, do you really want to refine elixirs?"

"Hmm?" Li Mu heard the implicit voice and said, "What, do you think it's not good?"

Dugu Jiu shook his head and said, "I just want to remind my elder brother that throughout the ages, alchemy has been just a legend. I haven't seen anyone succeed. I have seen many examples of death by taking pills. The man I met with, I think it's a liar. He saw that his elder brother is rich and powerful, and wanted to use his elder brother to collect medicinal materials. This time, the elder brother was lucky to take the elixirs he gave this time. If he collected all the medicinal materials next time, let's not talk about whether the elixirs he refined was the one that the elder brother took. Even if it was, I'm afraid he would be unfavorable to the elder brother..."

Li Mu felt warm as he heard Dugu Jiu talking in a nagging manner. When he told this story of his loopholes, he didn't plan to deceive anyone. He had guessed that Sun Simiao would not believe it, but it didn't matter. Sun Simiao wanted to get the elixir, and even if he didn't believe the story, he would do his best. However, Dugu Jiu, the silly boy, actually believed it. Li Mu smiled bitterly, but he didn't know how to explain it.

After thinking for a while, Li Mu said, "Okay, then I won't participate in this matter. But let's help with Dr. Sun. I helped him collect the medicinal materials, and I won't care about the rest."

"Okay!" Dugu Jiu nodded when he saw Li Mu agreeing, stopped talking and stopped nagging.

Turning around and reaching the door of the house, Li Mu got out of the carriage and saw a carriage parked at the door. He knew in his heart that there was a guest. This guest could enter the yard when he was not at home, so he was definitely not an ordinary person. Sure enough, Li Mu entered the door, and the doorman Zhao Youcai rushed over and said, "Marty, Duke Su has been waiting for a while."

"Oh." Li Mu nodded and accelerated his pace.

"Uncle Cheng, what wind has blown you? Let Uncle Cheng wait for a long time. It's my nephew's..." Cheng Yaojin is not a good guy. As soon as Li Mu arrived at the door of the lobby, he saluted. Before he finished speaking, the palm-like slap on his shoulder.

Li Mu grinned in pain, thinking in his heart that when my forging skills reach the advanced level and learn to make mail, he must make a soft hedgehog armor. Then you will be able to pat me again and let you have a bloody hand, which will hurt you so much!

"Nephew! My good nephew!" Cheng Yaojin patted his shoulder and hugged Li Mu. His steel-like arms were tightly wrapped around Li Mu. Even though Li Mu was not weak, he was strangled. He struggled desperately and shouted, "Uncle has something to say, I'm going to be strangled to death by you..."

Cheng Yaojin let him go and said with a smirk, "I haven't seen you for many days, I miss you." After saying that, he looked angry and snorted, "You kid are too filial. I am your elder. I haven't met for so long. Don't you know to go to my mansion to pay my respects? I have to force me, the old man, to come and find you. You are not at home and let me wait for nothing. You are such a bastard!"

Li Mu was so amused and cried, thinking that you are not my father, why should I go to your mansion to pay my respects? He is so thick-skinned that he is indeed the devil in Chang'an City.

Li Mu said helplessly: "If you have something to do, just say it. If you can help, you must be obliged to do it. If you can't help, it will be useless to make a relationship."

Seeing Li Mu's words so bluntly, Cheng Yaojin didn't feel embarrassed, and laughed and said, "My nephew is just happy! This is what I admire most about you! Then I'm not polite, that's the case--"

Cheng Yaojin sat on the Hu chair, put away his big mouth, and spit out and started talking. Li Mu listened for a long time before he understood what was going on.

It has been three months since the horse farm was established. The people in Chang'an City were curious, fresh, and gradually accepted and participated in it. It can be said without hesitation that Marseille is now an indispensable entertainment project for the people in Chang'an City.

But Marseille is just racing after all, and its fun is not great, and its core attraction is gambling. Over time, the audience's interest fades a little. Although the gambling income is not a little bit, Cheng Yaojin felt a sense of crisis.

At this time, Cheng Qian, the shopkeeper of the horse farm, came up with an idea.

Since we have seen enough of Marseille, it is better to organize polo competitions with the convenience of the horse farm. Everyone is not interested in watching Marseille, aren’t interested in watching polo?

Cheng Yaojin remembered this when Cheng Qian said that. As early as when preparing for the Marseille, Li Mu seemed to have said that Marseille was just the first step. Although he could not remember what Li Mu said next, he thought it could be a polo game.

He understands polo competitions. What he wants is the trick to make money through polo competitions. He doesn't know this thing, but he thinks Li Mu will definitely do it, so he comes.

"...Anyway, if you don't come up with a charter for me, I won't leave. Clean up a room for me and I live here until you figure out a solution.

Li Mu rubbed his temples with a headache and said helplessly: "Uncle Cheng, when can we have something to say? You said that your dignified Duke is also in charge of the position of a general, why should you always look like a rogue-"

"Ha, you say I'm a scoundrel? I'm your elder! If I can't do it, I won't leave no matter what I say!" Cheng Yaojin grabbed the words and started to mutter: "You kid are heartless! I miss you when you first came to Chang'an, you were not close relatives and bullied. Who helped you stand up..."

Li Mu said blankly: "I don't remember uncle, you helped me..."

"Dare you still dare to say it?" Cheng Yaojin glared and said, "You beat the boy from the Cui family to death. The Chang'an County Magistrate captured you. Who helped you? Also, you killed someone in Dali Temple. Who is it to protect you? Who is it? Isn't it my old Cheng yet?"

"Uh..." Li Mu was speechless. Cui Yuyan's incident was to be considered, but Li Mu was indeed in love with the subsequent incident.

"You said, I'll come up with an idea for you, and you'll be hindering. Do you still have a conscience? Ah! I understand, you have now climbed up to the old guy Guojiu and Wang Gui, and have a backer. You don't care about us anymore. From then on, our two families will only be strangers-"

"Okay!" Li Mu couldn't listen anymore and roared. Cheng Yaojin didn't expect that Li Mu was even louder than his. He was scared for a moment and did not dare to say anything.

Li Mu sighed and said, "Uncle Cheng, when will my nephew be unable to give me any advice? Did you tell me that you were talking? All the things I talked about were irrelevant. In your eyes, Li Mu, is such a person without conscience?"

After hearing Li Mu agree, Cheng Yaojin immediately smiled and said, "I'm not thinking that you have always been in contact with those people recently, and maybe you have forgotten your old love... Oh, I just said you are not that kind of person. They are all that guy Cheng Qian, who is gossiping in my ears. When I go back, I have to whip him!"

Li Mu was convinced by staring at his eyes and talking lies.

Li Mu didn't care about him, and he didn't say anything after he had been calculating, and there was definitely no result. After thinking about it, Li Mu asked, "How did the things I mentioned last time?"

Cheng Yaojin said blankly: "What's going on?"

Li Mu was speechless and said, "It's just that the young people from noble families are urging those horse racing teams to set up a horse racing team. Why didn't you do it?"

"Oh oh!" Cheng Yaojin suddenly realized, "I did it, Cheng Qian did it. But it was a little different from what you said. Nephew, you don't know. This horse racing is a very expensive thing. The boy from the ordinary family can't afford the money, so Cheng Qian came up with an idea and asked them to form a club, pay for horses together, and share the bonus together. The effect is pretty good. There are already more than a dozen clubs now."

"Associate?" Li Mu raised his eyebrows. Unexpectedly, Cheng Qian had a very flexible mind. This idea was quite good, and it was similar to a joint-stock company.

"This is easy to deal with." Li Mu thought for a while and asked again: "Can uncle tell me the rules of polo?"

"Don't you understand?"

Li Mu said angrily: "Uncle, I have never played polo, aren't you asking this extra? Do you still need the rules? If you want you, just be more straightforward. You can just answer whatever I ask."

"You boy--" Cheng Yaojing was about to get angry. Suddenly, he thought that he couldn't afford to offend him at this time. He gritted his teeth and endured it, and squeezed out a smile and said, "If you want to talk about this polo, it has something to do with His Majesty."

"Your Majesty?" Li Mu frowned and said, "Your Majesty also likes to play polo?"

"Not only do you like it, you are also a master! When His Majesty was still the King of Qin, he often took the lead to organize the competition. Now the rules of polo competitions were decided by His Majesty himself. However, after His Majesty ascended the throne, he was busy with government affairs and had not ended for a long time."

"There is still this thing..." Li Mu thought to himself that Li Shimin is much more talented than he thought.

"In this polo game, there are at least four people, and there is no limit on the number of people. The venue allows it, and both sides can agree. However, in general, there is no time when more than ten people. First, the venue is not that big, and too many people will be unfavorable to watch. Once there are more people on both sides, it is like a cavalry fighting, and there will be casualties when charging forward. Therefore, usually there are four to ten people."

"Why do you need at least four people?"

"One guards, one passes, one attacks, one interception!"
