Chapter 464

"Brother Wang!"

After entering the yard gate, Li Mu saw Wang Hu who was about to go out at a glance. He got off the horse and smiled and said hello. Wang Hu quickly returned the greeting. He looked at Li Mu's demeanor, which was very different from when he left. When he followed Li Siwen, Li Mu had just arrived in Chang'an City shortly after. Although he was already a marquis, his thinking and status were not completely matched, and he did not have the calmness and temperament of a high-ranking person.

Wang Hu interacted with him and thought that he was Li Mu when he was the county magistrate in Dingxiang, but he had not yet realized his magnanimity.

But at this time, Li Mu was already used to the identity of a marquis. And what he did during this period, either through the mouths of merchants, or through letters from Li Siwen and him, was transmitted to Dingxiang. Wang Hu naturally knew what status Li Mu had in Chang'an City now.

From the third rank of seventeen years old, Gan Luo, who was only twelve years old, can be compared with him. At this time, Li Mu's demeanor was incomparable to the past. Wang Hu was just Li Ji's personal soldier, so how dare he be the "Brother Wang?"

"The Marquis has ruined me, just call me Wang Hu, and I don't dare to be the eldest brother."

Li Mu smiled and said, "Why are Brother Wang still alienated? No matter where I am, we are all brothers who have lived and died in Dingxiang City. Why can't we behave like this? Don't mention such words in the future."

Seeing that Li Mu was not as fake, Wang Hu had to respond, and he couldn't help but feel a little more emotion in his heart.

He had seen Li Mu look down and out. In Dingxiang City, Li Mu was the county magistrate and brought a group of refugees to repair the city walls. He went out early and returned late every day. Dingxiang was adjacent to the desert grassland, with great wind and sand, and it was covered in dust every day.

Who would have thought that such a young man had already reached the third-rank high in less than ten months?

"Brother Wang, are you just here? Why don't you take a break? Come with me. I treat you today, and we will never return without getting drunk!"

"No, no, no." Wang Hu recovered, waved his hands repeatedly, and said, "I won't drink the wine today. I still have my mother in the hall. It's already very unfilial to not be by my side to serve you for so many days. Now that I'm back, I naturally have to accompany my mother first, and I hope the marquis can understand it."

"Oh, since it's filial piety, I can't stop it. Anyway, I don't leave in one or two days, and it's the same when I get together again." As he said that, Li Mu handed the reins in his hand to Wang Hu and said, "Walk too slowly, go ride a horse."

Wang Hu was so kind to the point of returning home, but he was not polite, and thanked him, and turned over and left.

Li Mu watched for a while, turned around and suddenly a young man covered in a sling appeared in front of him, so heroic. Li Mu subconsciously took a step back and said, "Who is coming?"

"Brother-in-law, it's me, I'm Gensheng!"

"Gensheng?" Li Mu looked up and down, frowned and said, "Is Gensheng? Why are you so tall and strong? Oh, you've all grown beards!" Li Mu touched his chin that had no hair, and was a little unconfident, and said in ambiguously: "It's great, there are so many arms and legs. Have you seen your parents? Have you seen your sister?"

"I've seen it! I'm waiting for you here!" Bai Gensheng's personality is much cheerful than when he left. He is not as stupid as before, but more clever as he used to be. Suddenly he saw Dugu Jiu wearing a mask behind Li Mu, frowned slightly, and said, "Brother-in-law, this is..."

"This is my righteous brother. You have never seen him. His name is Dugu Jiu, and he is also your brother."

"Oh." Bai Gensheng smiled and clasped his fists and said, "Bai Qi has met his brother."

Dugu Jiu subconsciously replied to the gift and was blocked by Li Mu. Li Mu frowned and looked at Bai Gensheng and said, "Boy, why did you change your name after walking for several months? Are you not Bai Gensheng? Why did you change your name to Bai Qi? Do you know who Bai Qi is? This name is called casually?"

"Brother-in-law, Bai Gensheng's name is too similar to the village man. I am now the team leader. Our general said that my future is limitless. Sooner or later, I will become a general. Don't underestimate others. I have read a lot of books in the past few months. Of course, I know who Bai Qi is. I want to be such a general. Don't call me Gensheng in the future. I will change my name Bai Qi, and my father agrees. Besides, my sister has changed her name? Why can't she change her name? I can't change it, I will change it!"

"Oh hey!" Li Mu raised his hand and slapped Bai Gensheng on the back of the head, cursing: "It's really a promising thing. Do you dare to talk back to your brother-in-law? You're still talking about your sister. Can you compare with your sister? Your sister married a good husband. Her good husband, I gave her a third-rank military marquis, and earned her third-rank imperial edict for her. Then she changed her name. But even if it was changed, wouldn't she still be called Qiaoqiao at home? You kid, a team leader with no grade, a little official with a bigger sesame seed, and you're even on the score! Let me tell me, which general can see that your future is unlimited? I want to see which blind man can become a general!"

"It's me!" Li Siwen ran over, holding a jewel-like crown in his hand, and said with a smile: "Brother, am I the general in Gensheng's mouth? You forgot that Dingxiang is my territory, and I am the general of Zhechong Duwei. I was right, his brother-in-law is Li Mu, so it's naturally unlimited, haha..." Seeing that Li Mu's face changed, Li Siwen quickly interrupted and shifted the topic to the crown, and said: "Brother, how do you think of this crown? Isn't it? Guess where did I get it from?"

Li Mu looked at the crown and didn't see any way out. However, the gems on it were quite large and expected that they were of great value, so he said, "I can't guess where did it come from?"

"Brother, don't envy me after you said it." Li Siwen couldn't help but raise his lips and said proudly: "Although I don't have the ability of you, I am okay with it. I am lucky. Didn't I build another new city? Do you have to dig a foundation for building a new city? When digging the foundation, guess what, I dug out a tomb! This crown was dug out from the tomb. Look at this gem, can it be worth a lot of money, right?"

When Li Mu heard this, his hands trembled, and the crown fell to the ground, and he said laughing and crying: "You, you kid are you really... digging graves and digging graves? Are you immoral?"

"I didn't mean it!" Li Siwen hurriedly defended and said, "Who made it under my new city? I haven't felt bad yet!" He bent down and picked up the crown, wiped off the dust on his head, and said, "I guess this must be something that a Turkic leader snatched from our Central Plains in the past, buried in his tomb. After many years, it fell into my hands by Li Siwen, which was also considered as the property returning to the original owner. I dug out these treasures, exchanged them for food and transported them back to Dingxiang to feed those refugees. Isn't it better to be buried under the ground?"

Li Mu really couldn't deny this. Comrade Li Siwen's awareness was still very high. It just made the tomb owner suffer. He died for countless years and was dug out. The treasure he had saved for a lifetime was robbed. Moreover, the robber did not feel any guilt at all, which was a bit pitiful to say.

Li Mu rubbed his nose and asked, "Have you buried it for someone? I dug up someone's tomb and don't bury it anymore, but it's a bit unrighteous."

"I'm buried, can I do it?" Li Siwen said seriously: "There is someone among the refugees who used to be a Turkic wizard. I asked him to deal with it. He was cremated according to the customs of the Turkic people."

"..." Li Mu no longer wanted to say anything, he pursed his lips and asked, "What about it?"

"Half spread to the sky, and half spread to the river."

Okay, not only did I dig the grave, but I also crushed my bones and raised ashes.

Li Mu had a headache in an instant. Is this really a brother I brought out? How could he be so inhumane! Li Mu sighed, hooked Li Siwen's shoulder, and asked, "How many treasures are dug out, take me to see."

When Dugu Jiu heard this, he almost fell to the ground. He heard what he said just now, and he thought Li Mu had to scold Li Siwen for a few words. Who would have thought that this was the case! He now understands why Li Mu regards Li Siwen as the best brother, and it turns out that the two of them are birds of a feather! Although Li Siwen is heartless, when he is bold, he is a smaller version of Li Mu. The difference is that Li Mu only does it because he has a clear mind, while Li Siwen does it when he gets to the point of being in the middle of his head, and does not consider whether he has a clear mind or not. But the shameless appearance of the two is simply a mold.

Bai Gensheng followed behind and heard Dugu Jiu's sigh, laughing, saying, "Brother, it's good to get used to it. When our general was in Dingxiang, he was even more shameless than now. He had already restrained himself here."

Dugu Jiudai said: "Why?"

"Because my brother-in-law is the most shameless, he learned everything from my brother-in-law."

"..." Dugu Jiu was completely speechless and didn't want to speak anymore.

When he came to Feng Qiuhuang's backyard, Li Mu opened his eyes. He opened a box, gold, silver and treasures, and then a box, jade utensils. He picked up a jade bowl casually, and it was crystal clear, and he could not find any traces of a knife or axe, as if it were natural. In his previous life, this level of jade artifact was priced at several hundred million!

No wonder there are no such good things on the market now, and it turns out that my predecessors were buried in the tomb.

Li Mu was amazed and said, "It's so good to dig, brother, let this treasure be seen again, your contribution is great!"

"Small things." Li Siwen said modestly: "I have just done my best, but I have organized an excavation team, found experienced herders as guides, and searched for them around Dingxiang. Once I found an unclaimed tomb, I would dig it up for it. That's what I think, it takes money to build Dingxiang. Nowadays, whoever asks for money can give it, and I have to be self-reliant. It's a pity that these treasures are buried underground. It's time to find a master who knows the goods. Brother, do you think it can be sold for money?"

"It's okay, it's so good. In a few days, we'll hold an auction..." Li Mu opened another box casually, and there was a box of painted scrolls inside.
