Hearing Changsun Chong's footsteps, Wang Ou hurriedly pushed Li Mu away, wiped the rouge on his mouth with his fingers, and tidied up the veil again. When Changsun rushed into the house, the two of them had already sat down and were pretending to look at the account book.

After climbing more than ten steps, Changsun Chong was so tired that he was breathing. He didn't care about politeness and sat down slowly with the table. The maid brought a cup of tea, and Changsun Chong hurriedly took it over, not caring whether he was hot or not, so he took a big sip.

"You, if you have time to follow me, you might as well lose weight."

Changsun Chong finally breathed evenly and said, "I, I followed you to learn and learn skills."

"You are not my disciple, why should I teach you?"

Changsun Chong was stunned for a moment and said, "I, I can become a sworn brotherhood with you! Just like Dugu Jiu!"

"Bah!" Li Mu said mercilessly: "You dare to compete with Xiaojiu? Xiaojiu is very skilled in martial arts and can protect me, you? What is there in you that I am worthy of my high regard? Being sworn brothers with me is beautiful!"

"Why don't I have any advantages?" Changsun Chong blushed and said, "I can be considered to be well-read in poetry and books..."

"Hehe, I'm well-read, right? How about you and Kong Yingda?"

Changsun Chong was choked and almost passed away. Changsun Chong also "graduated" at Chongwen Hall. Although he did not like Li Chengqian, he was still a student of Kong Yingda. How dare the student say that he surpassed the teacher? He himself knew that he was not as good as Kong Yingda.

Thinking of the past between Li Mu and Kong Yingda, what else can Changsun Chong say? Just as Li Mu himself said, he is a genius, and Kong Yingda suffers losses in his hands. How can he compare?

But besides reading poetry and books, what are his advantages? Prince Zhao State? It seems that Li Mu will not take it seriously and is good at math. Compared with ordinary people, Changsun Chong has confidence. He is proficient in nine chapters of arithmetic. Even if he goes to the imperial examination, he is confident that he will definitely be able to pass the imperial examination. But he knows that he is not as good as Li Tai, and Li Tai even asks Li Mu for advice. Compared with him math, he is simply showing off his skills.

After excluding one option after another, Changsun Chong felt a little depressed. He suddenly realized that he seemed to have no advantages in front of Li Mu except fat.

But I still have to learn the ability. Changsun Chong gritted his teeth and blurted out: "I worship you as his teacher!"

"Ask me as my teacher?"

Li Mu was amused and cried, and said, "Fatty, I was really surprised by your persistence, but are you confused? We are of the same generation. You take me as your teacher, where will you place your father and Your Majesty?"

"We all discuss our own things." Changsun Chong said; "It is my own business to respect you as my teacher, and it does not involve generations."

"I'm too lazy to talk nonsense to you, no..." Li Mu was about to refuse, but suddenly Wang Ou interrupted, saying, "Li Mu, don't be too busy to refuse."

"Ah," Li Mu was a little confused. Wang Ou spoke for Changsun twice in a row, making him a little confused. What's going on?

Wang Ou said: "I see that the prince is so sincere. Don't keep others from a thousand miles away. Just give him a chance."

"Yes, just accept me as your disciple. I know what you are worried about. I can swear that I will respect you as my teacher in my life and will never be detrimental to you."

"This..." Li Mu looked at Wang Ou, and Wang Ou gave him a look. Li Mu understood what Wang Ou meant. She said that it was inconvenient to say it now, so she asked him to agree first.

Li Mu sighed and said, "Okay, for Mrs. Mudan, I can give you a chance. But you have to swear first, and you don't need to say that it is unfavorable. You just need to swear that you won't use the skills I taught you to fight me. If you violate this oath..." Li Mu sneered, covering up his smile that would be unstoppable, and said seriously: "If you violate your oath, the ancestral grave will explode."

This is another! Changsun Chong ran over ten thousand grass mud horses in his heart, thinking to himself, this person is sick. Do you have any special thoughts about other people’s ancestral graves? Why do you always look forward to the explosion of other people’s ancestral graves?

But the words have reached this point. If you don’t agree, then you clearly want to go against him, so he can refuse. Changsun Chong thought about it in his heart. As for now, there is no possibility of being an enemy of Li Mu in a short period of time. Even if there is one day, what can such a joke be considered? Now that I say it, it really explodes? It’s ridiculous!

Thinking of this, Changsun Chong knelt decisively on the ground, faced the south, swearing to the sky, and said loudly: "I, Changsun Chong, sincerely worshipped Li Mu, the master of Lu Hou, and one day, if one day, betrayed the master and use the skills learned to fight against him, the emperor will not bless... the ancestral tomb will explode, explode."

After saying that, Changsun Chong looked at Li Mu and said, "Is that OK?"

“It’s not that simple.”

Changsun Chong suddenly widened his eyes and almost cursed. I was kneeling on the ground and swearing, what else should I do?!

Li Mu smiled and said, "You are not convinced, are you angry? It's okay, it's normal. But rules are rules. I just said just now, I'm going to say that I'll accept you as a disciple. How can you succeed in getting a disciple if you fail my test? And even if I promised to accept you as a disciple, it's such a big thing that you don't come to your door, don't take the Six Lessons, don't give me a slap, and you'll become a disciple if you're empty-mouthed. How can you get such a good thing? Get up first, get up and say slowly."

Changsun couldn't rush up, faced Li Mu, and said, "You talk first, what is the test?"

"I'm so persistent." Li Mu sighed, smacked his lips, thought for a while, and said, "You know that I don't want to accept you as my disciple. So this test must be very difficult for you. Are you sure you want to challenge it?"

"I'm already kneeling here, how can I retreat?"

"Okay! This kind of spirit is a bit tempted to me." Li Mu's lips slowly curled up and said, "Then listen well, my test is... It's still more than three months before the New Year, and you'll lose 150 kilograms in three months. If you can do it, I'll accept you as your disciple!"

Changsun was stunned. He didn't expect that Li Mu's request was to let him lose weight! What's going on!

Li Mu spread his hands and said, "Are you surprised? I asked you to lose weight for your own good. Look at you like this now, you will feel breathless after walking a few steps. How can you keep up with my pace and do a career? If you are my apprentice, I must first think about your health. This is the attitude that the master should have. If you are not my apprentice, what does it have to do with me if you are fat?"

"Don't think of me so badly. I have always been very good to my own people. If you don't believe me, go and ask?" Li Mu pulled Changsun up, bent down and dusted the dust on his legs, and said, "How many pounds are there now?"

Changsun Chong shook his head and said, "I, I don't know, I haven't measured it."

"It doesn't matter." Li Mu said with a smile: "As long as you can reduce to 150 kilograms, you will pass the test. If it really doesn't work, you can cut it with a knife and you won't die."

Changsun Chong stared at his eyes and said, "I can definitely reduce it! You can wait!"

"Okay, okay, wait," Li Mu said perfunctorily, pressed Changsun on the stool, sat down again, and said, "Now, you can't ask questions, but as a preparatory disciple, you can see how I deal with the problem and feel the gap between me."

Changsun Chong didn't say anything. After contacting Li Mu these days, he had become accustomed to his arrogance.

Wang Ou brought the topic back and said, "Li Mu, the fur shop is almost ready. I plan to advertise in the Tang Dynasty Daily. How do you think it is appropriate to write it?"

Changsun Chong suddenly raised his ears. Now the Tang Daily has penetrated into the lives of the people in Chang'an, and the power of its publicity is obvious to all. As long as it is advertised on the Tang Daily, there is basically no need to worry about sales.

But if the thing you sell is fur, it will be another matter.

Fur is expensive. An ordinary fur can range from fifty or sixty pillars to hundreds or thousands, which are not affordable to ordinary people. The white tiger skin on Li Mu is priceless. If sold at a price, at least it can be replaced in Chang'an. What's the use of promoting the Tang Dynasty Daily? What's the use of the people when they hear the news? Can they afford it?

According to Changsun Chong's idea, when opening a shop in Dongshi. Dongshi is famous, ordinary people will not go to Dongshi to shop. People who can go to Dongshi are rich. They may buy furs when they see them.

Changsun Chong thought to himself that Li Mu was going to make a mistake this time. Should he remind him? This thought flashed through his mind for a moment and was rejected by him. Why should he remind him? Aren’t he very arrogant? What should he do if he is defeated!

Li Mu didn't know that Changsun Chong had so many thoughts in his mind. He frowned and thought, and said, "This is the advertisement, the title, Zhulu Hou is giving money!"

Wang Ou didn't understand and asked, "What did you say?"

"Marquis Zhulu has paid for it!" Li Mu repeated it and continued: "This is what the content is written. Marquis Zhulu feels that he has too much money and has no place to spend it, so he decided to play a game and send the money to everyone. From tomorrow, for three consecutive days, the Tang Daily will publish three riddles every day. Each riddle will guide a clue. Nine riddles have nine clues. If you crack these clues, you will know one or several treasures. Each treasure site contains money ranging from ten to hundreds of coins, and whoever finds it will belong to whom! This event has a total of 1,000 coins. After seven days, if there is still a treasure that has not been found, the remaining money will be used for a lottery, and the lottery location... is right at the entrance of JD Fur Store!"

Wang Ou was very confused at first, but when she heard this, her eyes lit up and she praised: "This method is wonderful, it's so wonderful! In this way, the people will spread this matter word by word for bounty. And the nobles couldn't help but come to Jingdong to see what was going on... You are so amazing!"
