Li Mu celebrated his birthday with a song of pipa. He finally made up his mind and decided to form an alliance with him to fight against the Xianbei of the Western Jin Dynasty.

This news quickly spread among the Hou family's retainers and Qiuchi nobles who were waiting outside.

For a moment, everyone was talking.

Hou Li went to laugh to the sky.

Gan Qi watched his back disappear and looked at Hou Jian. Seeing that he looked decayed and was as if he had lost his parents, he turned a wink at him.

The two of them quietly went away amid the discussions of the people nearby.

Hou Li returned to the hall, held the pipa that Jiang Tao gave him, which was heavily loaded in the zither box, and walked in, kneeling in front of Hou Ding.

"My son knew that his father was deeply in love with his mother. Because he knew that many Han people were proficient in music theory, he specially invited Governor Li to find someone to repair the pipa to celebrate his father's birthday. Because of the birthday celebration, he did not inform him in advance, and asked his father to forgive his son for his own decision."

"The pipa has been restored. The song I just played is it. Please check it out."

As he said that, he held the zither box high above the top.

Hou Ding took the piano box and opened it. He stared at the old wooden stick in the box, which was still covered with water stains and soaked in it. After a while, he said, "Get up."

He turned to Li Mu, who had been silent, and he sighed.

"Gu Huilong gave me a great humiliation, but for many years, I could only swallow my anger. Every time I think of the past, I feel like a heart-wrenching pain. Today I can meet you, which is the opportunity for revenge given by God. I have made up my mind to help you with all my might."

He carefully took out the pipa, plucked the strings, closed his eyes, and opened his eyes.

"I have always wanted to repair this relic of my deceased wife over the years and return it to her. By chance, I have never been able to do it. I don't expect that the governor Li will help me fulfill this wish today."

"Just just now, I listened to the song of the pipa, and it was like listening to the old sound of my deceased wife. I don't know who repaired the pipa, and who played the song?"

Jiang Tao looked at Li Mu quickly and hurried forward. Just as he was about to speak, Hou Li had already snatched, "Father, repair, play, are the same person. Jiang Changshi said, is a musician obtained by governor Li. In order to repair the pipa before tonight's birthday party, the musician walked all night last night. Today, it was before dawn. It was me who sent someone to connect to the city. The man was very skilled and repaired the pipa in one day, and just gave him a song to celebrate his birthday for his father."

"I want to meet you and express my gratitude in person." Hou Jian said.

Li Mu stared at Jiang Tao.

Jiang Tao's back was sweating and he was sweating heavily.

After being persuaded by his wife, after hesitating, Jiang Tao had already thought that it was very likely that such a scene would happen.

Now that things have come to this point, I can only bite the bullet and invite the wife out.

Fortunately, I have prepared in advance.

He retreated.

A moment later, accompanied by footsteps, Li Mu saw Jiang Tao bringing a boy in.

The young man was thin, wearing a flat scarf and a small hat, and an ordinary cloth dress, but his appearance was extremely handsome, with his eyebrows and eyes even more delicate and picturesque.

He followed Jiang Tao in, and stood in front of everyone, lowered his eyes, neither spoke nor treated him.

Even when Li Mu stared at him, he seemed to be unaware of it.

A pair of eyes only looked at a piece of ground in front of her feet.

Hou Jian did not expect that the one who helped him repair the pipa and played such a song with his deceased wife's pipa, which evoked his feelings was the thin boy in front of him who seemed to be only sixteen or seventeen years old at most. He was very surprised: "It's him?"

Jiang Tao nodded quickly: "That's right. It's just that he is born with a loss of voice, can't speak, and is devoted to music theory and does not understand etiquette. I hope he will forgive me."

As he spoke, the wind caught Li Mu's eyes staring at him, with a strange look. Even if he had been with him for many years, he could not tell whether he was happy or angry at this moment.

I felt hot and sweaty on my back, and I couldn't help but burst out again.

Hou Jian couldn't help but shook his head, saying it was a pity, and ordered Hou Li to give him a reward on his behalf.

Although Hou Li knew that the musician was sent to him early in the morning and sent someone to pick him up, he did not see him until now.

For a moment, I was stunned.

He always likes women, but for some reason, when he saw this young musician, he was firmly attracted by the eyes.

He was staring at him just now, and suddenly he heard his father's instructions, and he was right in his mind and nodded immediately.

When he fell into Li Mu's eyes, his eyebrows frowned slightly and said to Jiang Tao: "Okay. Take him to the inn and ask him to rest first!"

Jiang Tao wiped his sweat, it should be.

Luo Shen finally raised his eyelids, glanced at Li Mu, turned around and followed Jiang Tao out of the hall.

Yesterday morning, when he had just left the gate, she immediately went out of the back door, protected by someone arranged by Jiang Tao, and was ahead of the way to Qiuchi first.

In order to gain more time to repair the pipa, that night, just as Li Mu and his party were spending the night, she rushed to the streets overnight, and finally arrived in Fangcheng this morning and was taken in. As soon as the pipa was received, she immediately tuned it.

After a whole day, I didn't even have time to eat, so I finally replaced the strings and restored the pitch as before.

As for that song, it was her idea of ​​the time she came on the way, and she was already quite satisfied with the fact that she could get such an effect, which was even more icing on the cake.

Seeing Jiang Tao's sweat on his back, he pressed his clothes on his back. As soon as he went out, he comforted him: "Brother Jiang, don't worry. I was the one who went to find you. I will explain it clearly in front of him. If you want to blame me, I want you to help me."

Jiang Tao knew that Li Mu would not let her go with him, but after she found her, she still agreed.

More considerations are to ensure the smooth achievement of this trip.

This is the top priority.

For her safety, he was indeed not as much as Li Mu thought about.

In his original idea, if Hou Damn could agree to remain neutral when Li Mu and Xijing fight in the future and not invade Yicheng and ensure stability in the rear, it would be a satisfactory result.

The result was unexpectedly good.

Hou Ding not only agreed to form an alliance, but also promised to help with all his strength.

Her sound of the pipa was of great significance.

When she came out, she comforted herself first and wanted to take responsibility for herself. She couldn't help but feel even more guilty. She hurriedly said, "Madam, I do not hesitate to take risks to help with major issues. I admire her. Don't say that Governor Li may not blame her. If she really wants to blame her, it is also my responsibility. What's the madam's fault? Madam should be tired, so I'll send her to the inn to rest first."

Luo Shen nodded with a smile.

Hou Ding summoned his subordinates and nobles again, and personally announced his decision to form an alliance with Li Mu to fight against the Xianbei of the Western Jin Dynasty. He ordered a re-arrangement of the banquet to celebrate.

This banquet is much more lively than the one just now.

Everyone toasted Li Mu one after another, and the atmosphere was warm.

While drinking, Li Mu was chatting and laughing. After drinking a cup of wine, he was actually absent-minded.

Finally I understood why she suddenly changed her attitude when she set out early the morning before yesterday and was so attentive to herself.

It turned out that he had already convinced Jiang Tao that he secretly came to Chen Cang without telling him.

In front of him, the scene of her pretending to be a mute boy and standing in front of him was just now.

I don’t know if it was the wine that was in the stomach or some other reason. A sensation of uncontrollable dryness suddenly rose deep in my lower abdomen.

I wish I could get up and leave here immediately, go back and catch her, and examine her carefully, and see what kind of heart she had, and ignore herself, and she was so bold.

Li Mu smiled at others, and finally came to the end of the banquet. Hou Ding was drunk and was helped to leave.

The other ministers Qiu Chi also helped each other away drunkenly.

Hou Li sent him out. Li Mu told him to send someone to pay attention to Gan Jue's movements.

Hou Li nodded and said that he would be on guard.

Li Mu resigned and was about to leave, but when he heard him calling himself again, he stopped and looked back.

Hou Li came to the front of the horse and said, "Governor Li, the young musician tonight, I felt the same way at first sight, and I liked him even more that he was superb. It just so happened that I would have fewer people like him. I wonder where he got him? Can you keep him?"

Seeing Li Mu silent, he hurriedly said, "If Governor Li is willing to give in, I am willing to pay a fortune."

Li Mu stared at him: "She is my own person long ago. Do you want me to let me go?"

Hou Li was stunned. Unexpectedly, he had already taken the young man away. He hurriedly apologized and bowed and said, "It's me that I'm abrupt! I dare not have such a delusion anymore. Don't blame him."

Li Mu left Hou Li and drove his horse away.

Luo Shen was sent to the inn by Jiang Tao and entered where Li Mu stayed.

I walked in the carriage for a day and a night yesterday, and today I was all day long, and I was focused on doing things. Not to mention that the pipa song at night focused on all my feelings, which was extremely exhausting. After the song was finished, it seemed like a war. After settled down, I ate some food and slowly relaxed. In theory, the God of Luo should be very tired.

But she didn't want to sleep at all.

Just now, she followed Jiang Tao and the look he stared at her, Luo Shen couldn't help but stand up all over his body.

That feeling has not completely disappeared at this moment.

She felt extremely excited and a little proud.

Of course, nervousness is also indispensable.

This should be the boldest and most risky thing she has ever done in her life.

She knew he was unhappy.

I also know that when he comes back, he will definitely not let him go easily.

She faintly hoped that he would come back soon, but she seemed a little afraid to face him.

I keep worrying about it repeatedly, how can I feel sleepy?

Li Mu rejected Hou Li, and felt more restless. The inn was not far from Hou Mansion and arrived soon.

Jiang Tao did not leave, but he took his entourage to guard outside in person. Suddenly, he saw Li Mu return and walked towards the place where he was sitting and quickly met.

"She's in the house?"

Li Mu stopped and asked.

Jiang Tao nodded.

"Respect me, I'm sorry, I'm"

Li Mu waved his hand and stopped what he had just started.

"I know you are all dedicated to helping me accomplish things. But I think you know something."
