"Sacrifice for justice, what you want." Ma Zhou faced Li Mu's earnest gaze, and his adrenaline soared and said loudly: "With the trust of the principal, Ma Zhou is willing to die."

"It's not that serious, it's like this..."

Li Mu started from scratch and told Ma Zhou that the cause and effect were about Ma Zhou. Of course, he did not mention the "potato" matter. From the reactions of Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji and others, he already knew that "three thousand kilograms per mu" was an almost fantasy number. Ma Zhou heard it and would only deepen his distrust, and it was completely unnecessary. He also said that the yield of the real rice seed was a little lower, only saying that the yield was higher, not saying that two crops a year, so the credibility of the whole thing was even higher.

Li Mu sighed and said, "I'll tell Your Majesty that Your Majesty doesn't believe me. It's the excuse you just said. There are no old examples, and it's too far away to be able to control it, and there's no need to control it. But I still think that if there are really such rice seeds, even if there is only one percent of the possibility of being true, it's worth a try. Therefore, I forged the imperial edict and asked my brother to lead the team and follow the Zhenla delegation. Mediation is fake, and obtaining rice seeds is real."

Li Mu stood with his hands behind his back, and the breeze blew his clothes, becoming more and more unfathomable: "I once said, I would like to be Your Majesty's horse and the ox of the people. But when choosing between Your Majesty and the people, I would rather do more for the people. As long as it is for the people, I, Li Mu, will spare no expense. This time I have suppressed the lives of my whole family... Oh, I only hope for the true rice seeds, as the Zhenla Prince said, otherwise my sin would be great."

Ma Zhou stared at Li Mu in a daze, his eyes turned red. He asked himself, if he reached Li Mu's position, as he was at the peak of the sky, the holy family was in a high position, would he still make such a risky decision? Thinking several times, the answer was no. Because it was completely unnecessary, Li Mu's behavior was like a madman. If the true rice seed was true, he would at most have to offset his merits and demerits. But if it was fake, he would have to live. He had no reason to do so, and he would not have any benefits. As he said, it was just for the people.

Such noble sentiments, the ancient sages, are like this. Ma Zhou was moved and said sincerely: "Don't worry, even if the students are confused, they should come up with a way to retrieve the rice seeds for our Tang Dynasty and let the principal explain in front of His Holiness!"

"It's so good." Li Mu nodded in praise, but still did not forget to draw a cake and said, "When you get the rice seeds back, I will give you a good reward."

"Thank you for the cultivation of the principal." Ma Zhou was not polite and said, "If you can work in the Industrial and Commercial Bureau."

"Let's talk about it then." Li Mu interrupted Ma Zhou and thought to himself, "You are not polite. The Industrial and Commercial Bureau is the most critical department among the nine bureaus of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. How can you appoint casually? You have to choose and choose again and again before you can decide the candidate. Now that you have promised to go out, what should you do if you don't have a seat at that time? You must not agree easily.

Ma Zhou closed his mouth in disappointment and encouraged himself. Such a noble sentiment must be a person who values ​​affection and righteousness. If you do things well this time, you will inevitably have some kindness when appointing an official position in the future.

From this point of view, Ma Zhou is still very optimistic.

At this time, Li Chongyi's shout came, "The furnace and the anvil are ready." Li Mu waved his hand to Ma Zhou and let him take it away. He came to the furnace and checked it. There was no problem. He took off the tiger fur, wore only a short stroke, moved his muscles and bones, and began to throw ore into the furnace, ready to start smelting.

Since moving to Fengqiuhuang, Li Mu hasn't made a badge for a long time. When Fengqiuhuang was building, it was just to use it as a store and did not intend to be a permanent place to live, so it did not design a special workshop. Moreover, forging was too tiring, and Li Mu never rushed to go to the skill point. If it weren't for creating an axe for Li Chongyi this time, it would be very likely to delay it for another half a year.

The students and craftsmen all gathered over to see how Li Mu worked. Li Chongyi and Dugu Jiu did not stop him. Li Mu often gave demonstrations to the students, and he was not afraid to see them. His craftsmanship all came from the system. Without his tips, he would basically not be able to learn it by just looking. If he could learn it, this person's skills would not be inferior to Li Mu, and it would be fine.

The first thing Li Mu chose to create was horseshoes. This trip to Zhenla Kingdom is long and it is difficult to replenish horses on the road. Preparing a good pair of horseshoes can reduce the loss of horseshoes as much as possible. Moreover, the horseshoes created by Li Mu also have additional attributes, which can further improve utilization efficiency.

The sound of ding-dang irons sounded, Li Mu picked up the hammer and activated his skills, and his whole person instantly entered a state. With the blessing of the system, the landing point of each hammer was as if it had been carefully calculated. The strength and angle were impeccable, and the rigor was like a machine. Experts could tell if there was any. Students were not experts, but for so many days in the valley, they still developed a little bit of their eyesight. Seeing Li Mu's movements like flowing water and comparing his clumsy appearance, they knew the gap in their hearts.

Thinking of Li Mu's age at 17, compared to his age in his twenties, I felt more and more ashamed.

The craftsmen, especially the blacksmiths, stared at Li Mu's movements with their eyes shining. This kind of iron-smithing that is "already reached the realm of transformation" can only be seen on the old blacksmiths who have been fighting iron for a lifetime. Due to age, many old blacksmiths who have reached this level can no longer swing the hammer and have to rest after a few hits. How could Li Mu keep doing this like this?

Li Mu had already entered the state, and no information from the outside world could be received. At this time, his muscles and bones had moved and his body became hot. Li Mu took off his shirt, and his clear muscles trembled as his ironwork, which attracted everyone's attention and locked on his eight-pack abs.

Changsun looked down at his belly and sighed. Although he had lost more than 40 pounds during this period, he was not worth mentioning compared to Li Mu's figure.

Horseshoe is just a primary creation of the system, and its proficiency is limited. Fortunately, the amount is large, and after 500 horseshoe is built, the proficiency is still greatly improved. Li Mu took advantage of the lack of drinking water and glanced at the progress bar, and he was almost able to upgrade. He gritted his teeth and created another hundred pieces, preparing to give them to the Zhenla mission, so as not to drag down their progress.

The eighth-last horseshoe was built, and the proficiency was just enough. [Forging] finally reached the advanced level. Li Mu only felt that a force seemed to surge into his body, and then several system prompts appeared in his mind.

[The two players are promoted to advanced level and open the attribute panel.].

[Player leather making skills have been upgraded to advanced, agility +10.].

[Player forging skills are upgraded to advanced level, strength +10.].

[The player has two deputy positions to be promoted to advanced level and enables special skills: imitation.].

[Imitation: Special skills, collect ten elements, imitate a new skill.].

Five system prompts came out at once, which was the first time. Li Mu couldn't digest so much information for a while, and his physical strength was exhausted, so he asked Li Chongyi to clean up the stall, wiped his sweat, put on a tiger fur and returned to his tent.

The onlookers and students had long dispersed. It was already the second half of the night, and they still had to work tomorrow. Bai Qiaoqiao and Li Zhien were not sleeping yet. They were waiting for Li Mu to come back. The stove next to the tent was still hot, leaving it to fill his stomach.

Li Mu's physical strength was at a bottom, and he didn't care what he was eating, so he took it and stuffed it into his mouth. Seeing that his physical strength rose to eighty, he slowed down and took a sip of soup and almost choked him to death.

Bai Qiaoqiao patted Li Mu's back gently and said with a distressed heart: "You can't do this tomorrow. You have to eat something first. It's not a bad iron or other job. It's a physically heavy job. It's always like this and your body can't stand it."

Li Mu choked the steamed bun in his mouth and said, "It's okay, it's just that I haven't made a black haircut for a long time, so I'm a little unfamiliar. Chongyi's trip this time was all because of me. I, the eldest brother, can't accompany him, and I have to do something for him to feel at ease. Okay, after eating, let's go to bed."

"You." Bai Qiaoqiao sighed, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't say it. She just shook her head and removed the remaining soup that Li Mu had eaten.

Taking advantage of Bai Qiaoqiao's time to go out, Li Mu leaned into Li Zhien's ear and asked, "Why are you here? Are you suspicious again? I said I was in the valley, so I must be in the valley. I asked Xiaojiu to tell you, why don't you believe it? With you, the little jealous guy, watching, what can I do?"

"Master, you have been wronged to death." Li Zhien pouted, "This time, the lady insisted on coming. I persuaded her, but she didn't stop."

"Madam?" Li Mu asked inquiring, "Take it serious?"

"Can I still lie to you? If you don't believe me, please ask your wife."

"Oh," Li Mu immediately said with a touching face: "It's still the wife who is thinking about me. She is worried that I can't eat well and sleep well, so she came here to accompany me. Some concubines did not have such awareness and even advised my wife not to come. It was really hateful."

"Ah?" Li Zhien pouted and said without hesitation: "The master is partial. I said I was jealous when I came, and the lady was thinking about it. It was too unfair. What should I do?"

Li Mu stuck out his tongue and did not answer. Li Zhien came over and got tired of him. Li Mu hugged her with his back hand, buried his head in her arms, rubbed it gently, and stopped moving.

"Owner?"

Li Zhien thought Li Mu would still be gentle with her for a while as before, but Li Mu did not. He fell asleep. Because he was too tired, he beat six hundred horseshoes today, which had exceeded his limit.
