Soon, the laughter of Li Mu and others could be heard in the main hall.
The extremely vain Demon King Li met with several sect representatives with great interest at first. After looking at the so-called 'generous gifts', he quickly lost his novelty and interest.
With that said, he couldn't wait to go to the front hall.
Li Mu threw the gift list to the little book boy and said, "Take it, take it all."
In the past few days, the first people to come were some large and small sects in Chang'an Mansion, bringing gifts and asking to see Li Mu.
Another stick of incense.
In the evening, a piece of news spread in a small area.
Thousands of kilograms of beautiful jade, as well as various precious ores, martial arts secrets, gold and silver jewelry, and... Haha, dozens of beauties, it would be a shame not to accept such a gift.
…
"Hahaha, in that case, I will accept these gifts." Li Mu laughed and walked out of the main hall.
Accumulate grain widely, build walls high, and slowly become king.
Then, the task of meeting these sect representatives fell on the little book boy Qingfeng.
From a small county official to a big official, this is just like a dream, right
They can also get this kind of honor.
Being crowned king is quite exciting when you think about it.
Didn’t you say we should be treated fairly
"The King of Zhenxi has rebelled." Qingfeng said with a complicated expression at the first sentence of the meeting: "Fufeng Mansion and Fengxiang Mansion announced their rebellion at the same time, with King Zhenxi as the core and an army of 200,000, to crusade. The current prince."
County government courtyard, main hall.
"Young Master, the envoy of the Eighth Prince..."
However, about an incense stick later, the little book boy ran in again.
He made random remarks.
However, with the fall of [Red Fire Demon God] Huang Shengyi in Chang'an Mansion, triggering a storm of news from the outside world, it seemed that Li Mu could not achieve the last three words of the strategy.
Li Mu feels this way now.
He was carefully thinking about the words "Earth follows heaven, heaven follows Tao, and Tao follows nature" that Li Mu casually said. The more he thought about it, the brighter his eyes became.
…
"Are they here to drag us together to rebel?" Li Mu asked with great interest.
In the evening, the little book boy came again.
The envoy from the Northern Song Dynasty Empire came to Taibai County and asked to see Li Mu.
Li Mu looked at him and said, "Huh? Fighting for world supremacy? Rebellion?" He directly gave this mature little book boy a stir-fried chestnut on his forehead and said, "You are so young and you are so thoughtful. Be careful about your future baldness... I accepted the gift. , let the envoy of King Zhenxi go away."
Li Mu waved his hand and said: "Don't bother me with the King's Ceremony or anything like that. Forget it, it's annoying. I don't want to build a lot of construction in Taibai County. Just keep the status quo. The earth follows the sky, the sky follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature. This natural scenery is what I like the most.”
In fact, he is worried that these so-called skilled craftsmen are messing around in Taibai County. If the houses built by others are left with some back-up, they will not be safe to live in. Today, he lives in Daolu very comfortably. .
Because they have found out clearly that Qingfeng is the most favored confidant under Quasi-Saint Li Mu. His status can be said to be lower than that of one person and above ten thousand people. When they come into contact with Quasi-Saint Li Mu, they are under pressure and trembling, and do not dare to do anything. Talking, but when communicating with Qingfeng, at least the pressure will be much less.
After a stick of incense.
The little book boy shrank his head, covered his forehead, and said: "Bye, no, goodbye, Young Master, this time, it is His Highness the Crown Prince's envoy who is asking to see you."
…
Feng Yuanxing and other dozens of officials, large and small, were already flushed with excitement and could not restrain their excitement because the news had spread within a small area that the county magistrate was going to be crowned king.
Dong Rui had a wide network of contacts in the capital of Qin and had been friends with Xu Sheng for many years. Before the prince had the idea of wooing Li Mu, he had heard Xu Sheng talk about Li Mu several times and knew about the relationship between Xu Sheng and Li Mu. Therefore, he had the confidence to come to Taibai County to persuade Li Mu.
The little book boy covered his head and was quite speechless.
Living rebellion, I had only heard of it in TV dramas and romance novels on Earth before. Unexpectedly, it happened around me now... Well, but this has nothing to do with me.
But this time the deputy envoy of the mission was an old acquaintance of Li Mu, Xu Sheng, the elder of the Yueshan Sect to whom Li Mu was very grateful, and an old friend who Dong Rui personally invited to help him.
"What's the matter?"
"Young Master..." The little book boy.
"Leave the thing behind and let him get out."
"King of Zhenxi?" Li Mu rubbed his chin.
Could it be that Li Mu was deliberately trying to enlighten him
In the end, Li Mu, who was so annoyed, rewarded the little book boy with a dozen fried chestnuts in a row. He finally understood Li Mu's thoughts. There was only one simple and direct solution -
"He also brought a lot of cultivation resources... Huh? Master, haven't I finished talking yet?" The little book boy looked at Li Mu who was running towards the county government compound like a whirlwind, and was speechless. Isn't this a little too anxious
Li Mu took the gift list from King Zhenxi, and when he took a look at it, he suddenly smiled.
rebellion
When Dong Rui heard this, he didn't dare to be too demanding.
Next to him, there was an old man with a goatee. He had a thin face and a short stature, but he had a good temperament. It was Dong Rui, the envoy of the prince's mission and the envoy of the royal enshrinement corps.
Inverted
What an honor this is.
"The prince is great? Doesn't he vomit if he drinks too much and get swollen if he hits a brick? How many times have I taught you that you must treat everyone equally. Before the law, everyone is equal. Just treat them according to the old rules. Keep the gift, messenger Get lost." Li Mu looked sad for his misfortune and angry for his inability to argue. He said sadly: "Qingfeng, I'm not telling you, why are you so young and your eggs are not well developed, yet you actually know how to follow the crowd, follow others, and so on? Treated differently?"
"Prepare the gift and get out."
"In this case, the king-conferring ceremony can be held on a different date. During this period, Qin will send skilled craftsmen to Taibai County to build palaces, altars, and temples..." Dong Rui said with a smile. He was in a very relaxed mood now, and Li Mu agreed to accept the gift. , and accept the throne, the matter is already half done.
But even so, the messengers from the sect were very excited.
You must know that none of the prince's envoys were qualified to enter Dao's Cottage.
Didn't this person have a grudge against him for killing his son, and then sent assassins one after another to put him to death? Now a messenger has been sent... Interesting.
The tower near the water gets the moon first.
Leave the gifts and leave.
"King Taibai?" Li Mu jumped out of the room and said, "Profess the king? Haha, such a good thing? I killed a prince, and can I still be crowned the king? Haha, with high martial arts skills, you can really do whatever you want, let's go Let’s go and meet.”
"Why are you here again?" Li Mu subconsciously raised his hand.
Less than an hour later, Qingfeng came again.
He suddenly was not in a hurry to leave, so he proposed that he would like to stay in Taibai County for a few more days.
The previous envoys from all the major forces have never seen you being so interested in this.
Received a gift and chased away the messenger
This is strange.
All parties were shocked.
The little book boy looked at Li Mu in surprise and said: "Master, do you really agree to join the rebellion of King Zhenxi? If Master is interested, there are many choices to fight for the world. King Zhenxi's reputation is not very good. Although Xiongzhi has soldiers from both palaces, he is still at a disadvantage compared to the entire Western Qin Empire. Moreover, Guanshan Ranch, which has always had a good relationship with the royal family, has not yet expressed its stance..." He looked worried.
Dong Rui looked at Li Mu with some gratitude in his eyes.
Dong Rui had already felt that Li Mu's casual sentence actually contained the supreme secret of martial arts. In particular, Dong Rui understood martial arts from landscape calligraphy and painting and formed his own school. He has a deep understanding of this aspect. After experiencing it, all of a sudden, I felt that Li Mu had hit the bottleneck of confusion deep in his heart, and he felt like he was enlightened and instantly enlightened.
Once the county minister is crowned king and Taibai County becomes an independent kingdom, the status of these people will inevitably rise. As the earliest followers, they will be promoted to officials and nobles based on their understanding of the county minister's temperament. That's a done deal.
"Master..."
For Xu Sheng's sake, Li Mu agreed to the request without thinking too much.
The feeling of being begged for a hug is of course very pleasant.
In addition to his amazing martial arts prowess, this young man of ours also has a thick skin that is... quite astonishing.
The little scholar said: "But the prince's envoy said that he has an imperial edict and must meet you face to face, and he wants to make you King Taibai..."
Qingfeng nodded and said: "If they can get the support of a quasi-sage like Young Master, then they will immediately have the confidence to confront the Western Qin Empire. Therefore, King Zhenxi expressed his willingness to turn the conflict into friendship with Young Master and sent a generous gift. I hope that the young master can join them in the crusade against the prince. The King of Zhenxi revealed that the prince had previously written to the cabinet and the emperor, asking you to arrest the young master and hold him accountable... "
Because after a few days of stability, Li Mu had just refined the Samsara Sword, and after upgrading and modifying all the formations in the Taibai Mountains, countless people came from all sides, bringing different gifts and the same The purpose was to come to see Li Mu.
However, not participating in King Zhenxi's rebellion still made the worried little book boy feel relieved.
And Li Mu was finally quiet all afternoon.
"Old rules."
"oh."
Damn, these princes really spend a lot of money.
"Young Master, King Pingnan..."
"It's better that you go and meet him, he's just a traitor." Li Mu didn't take it to heart and gave the little book boy full authority to deal with it.
At first, Li Mu refused to meet him.
The little book boy also told Li Mu some of the rumors he had collected from various parties in the past few days. Regarding the prince's letter, it was probably not the King of Zhenxi who spread the rumor.
Just like that, he stopped asking Li Mu for advice.
Until this day, the little book boy Qingfeng came in to report that the envoy of King Zhenxi asked to see him.
Throughout the whole morning, the little book boy never stopped. He was busy and busy, and some big shots came. After all, he was not Li Mu, so when faced with some important decisions, he couldn't help but ask Li Mu for instructions. .
This is the sentence Li Mu admires most.
"The envoy from the Sixth Prince of the Imperial Capital wishes to see you."
The first king of the opposite sex in the empire in the past ten years.
So he turned around and went out to do errands.
Li Mu himself, on the other hand, was living in seclusion in the Daoist Cottage and continuing to practice.
But the problem is that too many people beg you to hug your thighs. No matter how thick your thighs are, sooner or later they will be broken by hugs - even if you keep hugging them, you will feel very tired.
Li Mu was surprised.
Especially this little book boy, who always smiles, is neither impatient nor impatient, has rare patience, and talks well with every representative of the sect. He will never let anyone in the sect feel that Like a spring breeze, even some casual cultivators who come to seek refuge after hearing the news will never feel that they have been slighted or treated perfunctorily.
But later, it was rumored that this envoy from the Northern Song Dynasty asked the young book boy Mingyue to send in a poem. The result was astonishing, and he was immediately invited into Daolu.
