After saying goodbye to Zhang Haoyue, Li Mu and Bai Qiaoqiao returned to the camp, and met two people Bai Naoer and Li Siwen who gave him a headache. Li Mu already knew the purpose of Bai Naoer. He had already discussed this with Bai Qiaoqiao in the morning. Originally, Li Mu didn't want to take him there, but now Dingxiang City is destroyed and the business of the wine shop cannot be completed. His children, Bai Qiaoqiao and Bai Gensheng, are going to Chang'an. It is indeed a bit inappropriate to leave him alone in Mayi, so he agreed. But he himself did not want to go and chat with Bai Naoer, so he asked Bai Gensheng to take him.

"Son-in-law!"/"Brother!"

The two of them ran towards each other, Li Mu's head buzzed, and he quickly signaled Bai Qiaoqiao to welcome Bai Naoer aside, and asked Li Siwen: "What's the matter?"

"I have something to ask you." Li Siwen said with a serious look on his face, "Can you go to see my father with me?"

"What?" Li Mu was creepy when he heard this. If this was from a woman's mouth, he might have been complacent, but it seemed something was wrong when he heard this from a man's mouth. His eyes became strange when he looked at Li Siwen.

Li Siwen didn't know what he was thinking, and explained: "It's all in Mayi. I think my father wants to take me back to Chang'an. I can't leave. I promised those refugees that have not yet fulfilled. I've left like this and I will never feel at ease for the rest of my life. So I want you to go with me to meet my father and help me persuade him. Even if I don't let me continue to be the county magistrate, I will stay here to build the city. After the construction, I will go back. Please beg him for help."

Li Mu smiled bitterly and said, "My eldest master, who do you think I am? Can your father listen to me?"

"No, no!" Li Siwen said seriously: "I know my father quite well. He respects talents. He respects all talented people. From his words, he also asks you about things. I can feel that he is very optimistic about you. If you say something, my father will definitely consider it seriously."

"You really stoked me. He is a general. I have anything worthy of his attention. In my opinion, it is better for you guys to say privately that the chance of success is a little higher."

Li Siwen was a little annoyed and said, "If I dare to say it, will I need you? I dare not!"

“…”

I didn't dare to find so many excuses! Seeing his angry look, Li Mu nodded helplessly and came to Li Ji's tent with him.

The personal soldiers at the door asked the two of them to wait for a while, and then told them to go in. Li Ji was reading the official documents, but they didn't dare to disturb them, so they stood aside and waited. Li Ji Yu Guang saw Li Mu, his eyes moved away from the paper, signaled the Hu chair on the left, and asked Li Mu to sit. Li Mu looked at Li Siwen, and Li Siwen's eyes signaled him to sit, but he himself did not dare to sit. Seeing his trembling look, Li Mu thought to himself that this guy's fear of his father was really deep into his bones.

Li Mu was not afraid of Li Ji. Although he had decided to integrate into this era, his thoughts were still the ideas of later generations, and he did not have such a deep concept of hierarchy. Of course, he would not be stupid enough to be brothers and brothers to Li Ji. It would be enough to be neither humble nor arrogant. Since he had to sit, then just sit down and follow the guests.

Li Mu sat down, Li Siwen stood beside him, looking like the boss was about to talk to someone else, and there was a little brother standing beside him. Before long, Li Ji finished reading the official documents, put down the letter and read it, and said, "I understand the purpose of Li Siwen coming to me. Li Mu, why are you here to see me? But is it here to be a lobbyist for this kid?"

Neither of them expected Li Ji to be so straightforward. Li Siwen's face turned pale. Li Mu was also stunned for a moment, and his mind turned sharply, saying, "Report to the general, I am indeed a lobbyist."

"Okay, I'd like to hear it carefully." Li Ji's old god looked at the two younger generations on the ground and said, "If you can convince me, I can promise to let Li Siwen stay in Dingxiang."

When Li Siwen heard this, he immediately looked at Li Mu. Li Mu was suddenly a little overwhelmed and said with a tough forehead: "I dare to ask the general, what is the reason why he doesn't want Li Siwen to leave?"

Li Ji said: "He has never had any plans, is impulsive and is embarrassed by the great responsibility. This time, the important decisions of the siege of Dingxiang were not made by him. Instead, many of the wrong decisions were repeatedly insisted on, so he was afraid of causing trouble, so I want to take him back to Chang'an."

Li Mu said again: "What after returning to Chang'an? What are the arrangements for the general?"

Li Ji was patient and said, "Aren't you going to do winemaking together? I can fully support this matter."

Li Mu stood up, bowed his hand and said, "The General's deep love for his child is touching. But I can't agree with what the General thinks. In my opinion, you don't know your son at all."

"I don't understand him?" Li Ji frowned slightly and said, "Let me tell me, how can I not understand him?"

"General, in my opinion, you always thought that your son had no talent, so you wanted to arrange for him to live his life safely and richly. From the father's perspective, this is naturally nothing wrong. But you overlooked one thing, that is, your son, what kind of life he thought about."

"Some people think that if I have ten acres of land in my life, planted in spring and harvested in autumn, and not starved or frozen, this life is enough. Some people think that if I can make a deal in this life, my descendants can inherit it, this life is enough. Some people think that when I was young, I killed enemies on the battlefield and defended the country, this life is enough. Some people think that I am guarding one side and living in peace, this life is enough. Everyone has different ideas and different things they want to do. Yesterday he came to me to drink. After getting drunk, he said that although business profits, he will never be able to make a fortune. A real man must make a contribution in the world! It can be seen that doing business is not what he wants, and making a contribution is his goal."

"Although your son is not good at many things, after contacting him during this period, I also discovered many advantages in him. For example, he is not stubborn, he will not come up with ideas about things he doesn't understand, but finds suitable people to do it. He never looks down on anyone, and does not regard himself as the son of a nobleman. When he repairs the city wall, he also worked with workers. When the enemy was besieging the city, the first thing he thought of was not to escape, but to be loyal. Later, he could also listen to my persuasion and put the lives of the people first. There are so many things that are enough to show that your son has many advantages, but you did not find out, or the standards you demanded were too high, and he had not yet met, so you judged that he had no talent. This is obviously unfair, and you need to give him a chance to prove himself."
