Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 279 Willow's Top Secret Valley (fourth update)

The meeting lasted for a few days, and Li Shimin ordered a general named Guo Xiaoke to go north to Shengzhou as the deputy general to guard Shengzhou. Shengzhou has no chief general for the time being, and Li Daozong will be in charge first.

This is a kind of bright fall and dark rise designed by the important officials after the emperor of Tang Dynasty reprimanded Li Daozong.

Liu Mu went back to Sanyuan and became a noble again.

There is another person who followed Liu Mu back to Sanyuan this time, Li Junxian.

Li Junxian kept his face low, he was not willing at all.Although he failed in the army, he has not yet been reduced to the role of serving as a housekeeper for a small civilian.

However, he had to obey King Qin's secret orders.

Back in Liumu's Zhuangzi, Li Junxian looked at the short clothes, gritted his teeth, took off his long robe, and changed into it without saying a word.

Liu Mu kept watching, but didn't say a word.

Pei Mingli also changed into servant clothes and came in to salute. Liu Mu ordered: "There is a room in the east wing, and there are many wooden boxes with rusted locks. You go to the steward to get dozens of new locks, and then break the old locks and replace them. New lock."

"Yes!" Pei Mingli responded and left the main room.

After Pei Mingli left, Liu Mu said to Li Junxian: "This is my first test for him. There are three questions in this test. All three questions are excellent, so I will use him. One of them failed. I don't need it."

"What does it have to do with me?" Li Junxian replied coldly.

"It doesn't matter, you are purely a spectator in this matter. After this matter is over, I will take you to a place. I promise you will stay willingly until May next year."

Li Junxian asked back: "What if I am unwilling?"

"I will send you to Huayuan County, and then ask the sage for an order. You are responsible for guarding a place until May next year, and then I will guarantee you to be promoted to the old camp." Liu Mu said calmly.

Li Junxian still had a cold face, and did not make any answer.

For half an hour, Li Junxian stood there motionless, while Liu Muduan sat on the chair, also motionless.

Half an hour later, a person entered the room and nodded to Liu Mu: "Lang Jun, Quan You."

"Okay." Liu Mu lightly patted the armrest of the chair, and was led out by that person, and Li Junxian came along with him out of curiosity.

Outside the door of that room, Pei Mingli had already closed the back door and was about to leave. When he saw Liu Mu coming, he stood aside with the lock ready to lock the door.

Liu Mu pushed open the door and entered the room, motioning for both of them to follow.

"Mingli, there are three tests here. The first test is whether you can keep your duty. This box is full of gold and silver, and you pushed the box to put the messy box in order, but you didn't push it. .But you held back your curiosity and didn’t open the box, you’re qualified.”

Pei Mingli looked surprised, he guessed that Liu Mu would test himself, but he didn't expect that it would be inadvertently.

"However, even if you think of the first test, you can't think of the second. The second test is to test your carefulness. You numbered each lock and then hung it on the key with a string of small bamboo pieces. Good, pass."

Li Junxian couldn't calm down anymore, and interjected: "Nine out of ten people probably wouldn't have thought of this matter."

"Wrong, maybe only one person in 1000 people can think of it. But what I want is this person, not the other 99 people." Liu Mu said stiffly to Li Junxian.

Then Liu Mu continued: "The third test is the old locks. In fact, only one of these old locks is broken. The rest are just a little dirty. You have tried them one by one, and collected them for repair and reuse. From your experience, though, it's no surprise. But the test is whether you'll turn the old locks over to the Steward."

The person behind Liu Mu who came to report was carrying the old locks that had been replaced, and each of them was also renumbered and hung with a wooden sign.

At this moment, Pei Mingli took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Liu Mu with both hands.

Liu Mu only glanced at it, and it was enough to know that it was written by Pei Shiqing, but he didn't open it but put it on himself.

Liu Mu said to Pei Mingli: "Even if you are recommended by a sage, it is still useless if you have not passed this test. Your first task is to learn new accounting methods and arithmetic. I will personally assess it in three months."

"Thank you sir." Pei Mingli saluted.

Liu Mu said to the steward: "Don't let him be too idle, let him do some work every ten days to check accounts at Jinghe Wharf."

"Yes." The steward nodded.

Only then did Liu Mu signal to Li Junxian: "Follow me, I will convince you too."

Li Junxian followed, someone had already prepared two horses at the door, just looking at the horses Li Junxian became restless, and walked around the horses several times.

"Treading the snow and Wuzhao, this is the best." Liu Mu simply said the breed of the horse, and then got on the horse.

It was Liu Mu's horse that made Li Junxian even more uneasy. He knew this horse.

During the horse race, when countless people were not optimistic, he showed his might and won the championship, and he was called Tianma.It is a pure white sweat horse with a very pure pedigree.

But after watching Liu Mu's third-rate riding skills, Li Junxian felt sad for this horse.

The sweaty BMW should go on the battlefield with famous generals instead of being used by people like Liu Mu for transportation.

Pass through the heavily guarded Qinghe Valley, and then go northward to a valley five miles away. Nearly a thousand people are training at the mouth of the valley.

Some of these people were running in groups of five with huge logs on their shoulders, some were practicing their swings, and some were hitting the wooden frame wrapped with hemp rope with their bodies.

Li Junxian only thinks that these are the teams training.

But after entering the valley, Li Junxian's eyes straightened.

The horse farm on the north bank of the Liumujing River drove countless generals in Chang'an crazy. Li Junxian had also seen the horses that Li Shimin picked back, but what was in front of him.

There are three groups of horses, namely black, snow white and bay red.

Looking at the group of black horses, Li Junxian realized that his horse was not top-notch compared to this group.

"Hequ horses, all I picked were tall black horses. The Khitan people took a lot of effort to select and transport these horses. The main reason was to hide them from the generals in Chang'an."

"The white one is called the Zhaoye Jade Lion. It is rumored that this kind of horse doesn't fit in with others. It is very violent and has amazing explosive power. Its sprinting speed is the fastest among known horses. But I believe that in my Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhao Zilong rode Yes, it must be another breed, because this kind of horse does not seem to have enough stamina to allow a general to enter and exit Cao Ying seven times."

Li Junxian wanted to scold Liu Mu, thinking that you didn't know that Romance of the Three Kingdoms was written by you?

This kind of horse comes from the northern cold region of Tianshan Mountains. It is also recorded in the Tang Dynasty, and it is called Tianshan Baixue.

Horses like Willow are actually Kazakh horses.

The bay red horse, named Chitu shamelessly by Liumu, has a head like that of a rabbit.This is a Dawan horse, and it is a Dawan horse with sweaty BMW blood.
