The First Happy King of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 388 Gao Jianwu's Request

Li Muyun was able to take a tour of Goguryeo this time. In addition to secretly observing the geography of Goguryeo, he also recorded many things, such as the deployment of each city, how many troops there are, and how many people there are in the city.

However, while seeing these things, he also saw outside the cities, the large or small Jingguan, where the bones were exposed to the scorching sun like that, and they experienced wind and rain year after year. During those Beijing observations, Li Muyun seemed to be able to hear the wailing and struggling of countless innocent souls.

Li Muyun didn't think he was a racist, but after going through those Beijing observations, he still branded Goguryeo, an evil country, that must be eliminated from the bottom of his heart.

People always have to pay the price for their mistakes, it's just a matter of time, more or less.

……

The next day, Li Muyun was eating a meal that he didn't know whether it was breakfast or dinner, and the woman he brought to the palace yesterday stood respectfully by his side and served him.

Xin Chengyou sat across from Li Muyun with an embarrassed face, looked at this unscrupulous guy, finally waited for him to finish eating, and then said: "Master Hou, I wonder if we can find a place to have a good chat?"

"Aren't we chatting?" Seeing the servants in the post house clearing away the things on the table little by little, Li Muyun collapsed into the arms of the woman behind him as if he had no bones.

Looking at Li Muyun's appearance, Jin Chengyou really wanted to find a whip to beat him severely, but considering the purpose of his trip, he endured it, and said seriously: "Master Hou, I want to find a place where no one is around to talk about it in detail. one time."

Li Muyun clicked his tongue, stood up with the support of the woman behind him, and said with a little gloom: "Old Jin, you are really troublesome, it's not easy to cover up when you speak. But forget it, who told me to be here?" It’s on your territory! The guest changes according to the owner, right!”

"Thank you, Lord Hou, for your understanding." Seeing that Li Muyun finally got up, Xin Chengyou said with a wry smile.

But Li Muyun didn't seem to see Jin Chengyou's helplessness at all, just reached out and stroked the woman's cheek lightly, and said with a smile: "You go out, let me have a good chat with Jin Chengyou, don't worry soon."

"Yes, the servant will leave!" The woman bowed her head and retreated obediently.

The people present are all big shots, needless to say Li Muyun, he is the one who dares to call himself Lao Tzu in front of Rongliu Wang Gao Jianwu, and Jin Chengyou is respectful to Li Muyun, but he is also well-known in Goguryeo, he is not a romantic woman at all An existence that can be provoked.

After a while, everyone in the room retreated, leaving only Li Muyun and Jin Chengyou.

It wasn't until this time that Jin Chengyou said again: "Master Hou, this time I am here to represent the king. I only came to you for one thing. This matter is very easy for you. As long as you nod and agree, 10 taels Snowflake silver must be given as much as it is."

Li Muyun looked at Jin Chengyou indifferently and asked: "What is it? 10 taels of silver is not a small amount. Is there anything that cannot be solved with so much money?"

Jin Chengyou shook his head and said: "Master Hou, there is a saying in the Tang Dynasty that if you don't keep secrets, you will lose your ministers, and if your ministers don't keep secrets, you will lose your status. I believe you must know the meaning. So if you don't agree, I won't send you It's what I told you."

"Hehe..." Li Muyun looked at the serious Jin Chengyou and suddenly laughed: "Well, you go back and tell your king: Li Muyun doesn't want to earn this money!"

"This..." Jin Chengyou didn't expect that he had already said this, why Li Muyun still didn't nod, he was obviously a money-grubbing and lustful person, how could he refuse the temptation of 10 taels of silver.

Li Muyun seemed to see Jin Chengyou's confusion, and said in a teasing tone: "Old Jin, since you mentioned the Tang Dynasty saying, do you know that there is another Datang saying: There is no free lunch in the world, or there is no free lunch in the sky. I won’t lose the pie! Although I, Li Muyun, am greedy for money and lust, the only way I can survive today is to be careful! Be careful! Be careful! So as long as you don’t tell me what it is, I won’t agree!”

"Hahaha..." Jin Chengyou suddenly changed his face, looked up to the sky and laughed, until Li Muyun laughed inexplicably.

After a while, Jin Chengyou suppressed his laughter: "Xiaoyaohou, to be honest, if you just agreed directly, the lower official would not tell you the matter."

"Why?" Li Muyun frowned and asked.

"Because of your prudence, the matter you want to say is of great importance. If you don't entrust it to someone else, you may be killed immediately, so you have to try again and again. If there is any impoliteness, please forgive me Strange!" Jin Chengyou's smile faded away, while speaking, he got up and saluted Li Muyun solemnly, which was regarded as an apology.

Li Muyun sat there dumbfounded, with the words ignorant, forceful written all over his face, and he said awkwardly after a long while: "Well, I've been playing it wrong."

"Master Hou, I really don't want to hide it. In fact, the matter we want to ask you this time is related to Master Mo Lizhi, so we have to be careful." Seeing that the time is almost up, Jin Chengyou finally revealed the truth.

"Quan Gai Suwen? What's wrong with him?" Li Muyun was really stunned this time. He had made countless guesses before, but he never expected that what Gao Jianwu wanted to do by himself had something to do with Quan Gai Suwen.

A flash of determination flashed in Jin Chengyou's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "We hope that Lord Hou can keep Sir Mo Lizhi in Datang, preferably..."

Hearing half of what Jin Chengyou said, Li Muyun nodded understandingly: "It's best to stay in Datang forever? Right?"

"That's right! We will send Master Mo Lizhi to Tang Dynasty to apologize this time. This is the best opportunity we can create for Lord Hou. As long as you can prevent Master Mo Lizhi from coming back, the 10 taels of silver will be yours."

"I want 20!" Li Muyun stretched out two fingers: "Pay first!"

"20? This is impossible!" Jin Chengyou almost jumped up from the ground, and said anxiously: "[-] is already the most, and it is even more impossible to pay first."

"That's good. At worst, let's break up. You continue to think about Quangai Suwen, and I continue to return to Datang to be my marquis." Li Muyun spread his hands and said with a smile: "I don't think you will think about it. Are you going to kill people and silence them?"

Jin Chengyou shook his head: "Master Hou is joking, I believe you will not tell this matter, because even if you say it, it will not do you any good. However, the conditions you just raised are too high. Regarding the issue of payment, 20 guan is not something we can take out at once."
