"Don't speak so nicely, don't you have a purpose?"

"Yes!" Li Mu unexpectedly did not hide it, but looked at Zhang Xun very calmly. He actually admitted, "Father-in-law, there is nothing in this world that has no reason. Even if I marry Tianai, I will not let you drive you to give up your position and opinions for what you want to do."

"I was originally a village hero in Mayi City. By chance, I made contributions and was granted the title of marquis by Your Majesty. The old saying goes, "A gentleman dies for his confidant! I am grateful to you, and I should think of repaying him, not for personal gain, but for the sake of my own interests!"

"Father-in-law, you know my purpose in your heart, and I know it in my heart, so don't say it anymore, wasting your lips and tongue. But you should also understand that the current situation is the best situation I can do. If you are greedy, I have no choice but to stand opposite you. Let me say one thing in my heart, I hate conspirators like you very much. If it weren't for the love of heaven, you would have died in my hands!"

Zhang Xun sneered and said, "Is it a little bigger? Young man, I advise you to be more modest!"

Li Mu smiled and said, "Father-in-law, I am born to be humble! I have also said a lot of big talk, but fortunately, so far, there has not been a word that has not been fulfilled. I can do it if I say it!"

Zhang Xun's face turned cold and said, "Believe it or not, I will kill you now!"

"Ha," Li Mu raised his hand, and with a loud bang, there was a hole in the wall behind Zhang Xun. Zhang Xun looked back at the hole, his face pale. He had never seen such skill. He had made such a deep hole in the stone wall, even the bearded guest of the past would never be able to do it.

If this hole hits me-

Zhang Xun dared not think about it anymore.

Li Mu hid the musket in his sleeve and said seriously, "It's true that this time, the son-in-law and his vocational rituals, learned the Great Transfer of the Zoroastrian sect by chance. The move just now is called 'Ying Finger'. It is a move created by the son-in-law based on the internal power of the Great Transfer of the Universe. It is light and convenient. He can hit wherever he pointed and kill him. I think my father-in-law's light skills may not be able to avoid this move, right? So, when people are old, be polite, young people are very scary."

"you!"

The ghost shadow hid in the shadow and wanted to take action, but was stopped by Zhang Xun. He couldn't figure out whether what Li Mu said was true or false. If Ghost Shadow took action, if it didn't work, he would tear his face apart. Li Mu would do it a few more times and he and Ghost Shadow would die. Although he was injured, his eyesight was still there, even if Ghost Shadow's light skills could not avoid the move just now.

"Okay!" Zhang Xun suddenly sounded, and then said three times, "The pride of a virtuous son-in-law is indeed well-deserved. Today I have seen it. I agree to everything you say, just agree."

"Don't grit your teeth," Li Mu laughed and said, "What words? The alliances are all based on strength. When one day, the Tang Dynasty will be declining and will not be able to control the affairs of the Western Regions. At that time, the Tang Dynasty will not be able to control whatever Gaochang wants to do. But father-in-law, I am here for one day. What I say today is the rules and ugly words ahead. If you do anything behind your back, the son-in-law will never show mercy when he meets again next time, and he will not listen to his father-in-law's explanation."

Zhang Xun gritted his teeth and said, "You dare to kill me?"

"No, no, no, how dare the son-in-law?" Li Mu shook his head and said, "I will bring my father-in-law to my side and be filial. But my father-in-law may not like to be a rich man who can farm and study and pass on the family, right? If my father-in-law likes him, he will tell his son-in-law at any time that his son-in-law will definitely meet his father-in-law's requirements."

"you!"

Li Mu laughed and turned around and left. Zhang Xun looked blue and saw a stone. He really wanted to pick it up and hit Li Mu on the back of his head.

The ghost came out of the darkness and said, "Chief, do you want to teach him some lessons?"

"What's the lesson?" Zhang Xun was so angry that he cursed, "He is just fearless! I love such a daughter, and Gaochang still hopes that he will pass on the family line. How can I teach him a lesson? How do you tell him a lesson?"

"He didn't say that he would visit famous doctors to treat you-"

"You are also talking sarcastic?" Zhang Xun's eyes showed fierce light. If my disease could be cured, I would have been--" Halfway through his words, he knew that he had made a mistake, so he reached out and pointed to the distance and said, "Get out!"

The ghost also knew that he had asked the wrong question, and before Zhang Xun was furious, he got out of touch with emotion.

...

The ceremony of succession was very simple. Zhang Xun always acted like sharing the joys and sorrows with the people, without any extravagance. The palace had been burned down, the treasure house was moved away by Li Mu, and all the people who came out were distributed to the people. Zhang Xun had no money to build a new building. He asked Li Mu for money, but Li Mu didn't give it to him. In the end, Zhang Xun deducted 100,000 ounces from Li Mu in the name of asking for the bride price to build his new palace.

Zhang Tianai complained a lot about this. But how could she know Li Mu's details? Zhang Xun had no savings for many years in the Western Regions? It was just inconvenient to take it out. After a while, when the people were not so concerned about him, the king, his money would be taken out. He had money himself, but it was for his own business. If he didn't spend it in vain, it would be a waste to give it to him.

The members of the Yin clan were driven to a valley near Yanqi by Zhang Xun. This place is located at the junction of the two countries. If they fight in the future, they will be the first to be unlucky. But if they don’t fight, it will be a good place. The people of the Yin clan live independently and are considered the 23rd city in Gaochang. Elder Jin was also named Chief of the Yin clan by Zhang Xun, and his status is similar to that of the city lord.

Li Mu stayed for a day, packed his luggage with Zhang Tianai, and asked Li Siwen to send some accounting offices, tax collectors, etc. to lay the foundation for Gaochang to facilitate subsequent matters. After doing this, Li Mu took Zhang Tianai back to Dingxiang.

Since the war has been dissolved, there is no need for the army to stay in Dingxiang. Hou Junji has a mission to take Li Mu back to Chang'an, so he cannot leave. However, Li Ji still has the responsibility of Bingzhou, so he must take a step forward.

After sending Li Ji away, Hou Junji ordered the deputy general to take some people back first. He left only five thousand soldiers and horses, waiting for Li Mu to finish handling Dingxiang's affairs.

Fei Ge sent letters day and night, and Li Mu's words and deeds were sent back to Chang'an truthfully. Hou Junji originally thought that since Li Shimin had given instructions, he would be very anxious, but Li Shimin never urged him once, but he just warned Hou Junji not to interfere with Li Mu in anything and just bring him back.

In this way, Li Mu stayed for another half a month. He held the Sword of Shangfang and exercised power on behalf of the emperor, and announced that he would be promoted to Dingxiang Zhechong Mansion as Dingxiang Protectorate. He originally wanted Hou Junji to take over the command of the Protectorate General, but in the current situation, how dare Hou Junji accept it? The emperor agreed to this order from Li Mu. If Li Mu was chopped back to Chang'an, wouldn't he betrayed a member of the party? Therefore, he refused to accept it.

Li Siwen was not qualified, so Li Mu had no choice but to be the escort and commander the affairs of the Western Regions.
