My lady, I'm going to rebel.

Li Yu looked at his daughter and smiled.

"Are you so optimistic about Mu Zheng? He's close to Li Lian. And Li Lian is quite famous in the Ju County rebellion."

"Li Lian is Li Lian, and Mu Zheng is Mu Zheng. If I'm not mistaken, this Mu Zheng should be Li Lian's temporary helper, because there is no distinction between superiors and subordinates between them." Li Cheng said.

"But what if Mu Zheng is Li Lian's good friend, or what if Mu Zheng is Fan Chong's man?" Li Yu still felt unsafe.

"How is that possible? I've already made inquiries, and no one in the Ju County rebellion had ever heard of Mu Zheng. If he knew Li Lian, how could he not have made a name for himself in the Ju County rebellion?" Li Cheng was very confident: "So, this Mu Zheng definitely has no close ties to Li Lian, and is someone worth winning over."

After listening to this for a long time, Li Yu nodded and said, "It seems to be true."

Li Yu is indeed a businessman.

But Li Cheng is not.

She was Wang Mang's person.

Similar to a secret guard.

The whole country was hit by disasters and there were rebellions in various places. Li Cheng, as an emperor, naturally had to work hard for Wang Mang.

Li Yu asked Li Cheng, "My son, Li Lian has already reached the territory of Yecheng. Are you planning to capture them?"

Li Cheng shook his head, "No. Li Lian is just a small figure. Arresting him would only alert the people behind the scenes. Besides, Mu Zheng is Li Lian's man now. If we arrest him, it would be unreasonable for us to say so."

"Then what are you going to do?" Li Yu didn't understand what his daughter wanted to do.

"There are constant unrest in various places, and with the treasury empty and insufficient food reserves, the imperial court is unable to send troops to suppress the rebellion. However, there is a solution to every problem. Since we cannot defeat these rebels from the outside, we can disintegrate them from within. According to my test today, Mu Zheng's weakness is that he is too soft-hearted and emotional. Therefore, if we can get close to him, become his friend, and support him, he will surely remember the kindness of his master and teacher. Then, we can exploit his soft-heartedness and emotionality and use it to our advantage."

"Are you so sure?" Li Yu felt that his daughter's evaluation of Mu Zheng was too high. If Mu Zheng was really that good, how could he still be someone's bodyguard?

Li Cheng smiled and said, "Have I ever misjudged someone?"

"That's very few." Speaking of this, Li Yu had to admit his daughter's unique vision, otherwise she would not have become Wang Mang's close associate at such a young age.

"Dad, don't worry." Li Cheng stood up and looked at the bed in the room. "If I didn't trust my own judgment, why would I have spent so much effort testing him? We eat the emperor's salary and share his worries. Although the rebellion in Ju County is massive, since ancient times, peasant uprisings have never caused a big wave. Therefore, we only need to train one person to help us deal with Fan Chong. What we really need to worry about is the King of Zhao. To be more precise, it is the King of Zhao's son. He is not at peace."

"Yes!" Li Yu also stood up: "Don't worry, Daddy will continue to be friends with Liu Lin and will definitely find important information for you!"

……

Mu Zheng went back to the bunk bed and fell asleep. When he opened his eyes at dawn, he saw a face almost right in front of him.

Nose to nose, mouth to mouth.

Mu Zheng was startled and kicked Gong Wen away. "Why are you so crazy so early in the morning?"

Gong Wen chuckled, "Where did Miss Li take you last night? Look at you, you fell asleep as soon as you came back, and you still have the fragrance of a woman on you."

Mu Zheng was stunned, then he smelled his sleeve, but there was no smell.

"I didn't expect that Miss Li didn't wear any makeup in front of us, but when she secretly went out with Brother Mu, she was full of rouge. Tsk tsk..." Li Lian said while shaking his head: "Indeed, a woman as strong as Miss Li can only be conquered by a man as tall as Brother Mu."

"roll!"

Mu Zheng listened to the two people talking more and more outrageously and replied, "She just took me to the Fun House."

"What?" Gong Wen slapped the edge of the bed. "You were visiting a prostitute?"

Mu Zheng's face darkened. Why did this sound so unpleasant? Of course, it seemed to be true, but it was not the case.

Mu Zheng recounted what happened last night, thinking he would get praise from Gong Wen and Li Lian, saying that he remained calm in the face of temptation. However, Gong Wen pulled Li Lian out of the house.

"Where are you going?" Mu Zheng asked.

"Find a gentleman to write a letter. I want to tell Sister Yun that you have a mistress outside!" said Gong Wen.

Uh……

Mu Zheng was so anxious that he didn't even put on his shoes. He caught Gong Wen and started beating him up.

You are really my good brother!

……

After the laughter and fun, it was time for the caravan to set off.

Mu Zheng went to find Li Cheng and told him about his plan to support Pan Jinlian.

"Ms. Li, I will pay for the maintenance myself, but I need your influence to spread the word that no one is allowed to harass Jinlian for the next six months."

Li Cheng agreed with a smile: "I didn't expect Brother Mu to be such a sentimental person. I can make the promise, but I have a request."

"What?" Mu Zheng asked.

"Follow me!" Li Cheng said with a smile.

"What?" Mu Zheng scratched his ears, he really didn't understand.

"I told you to leave Li Lian and come with me! I need a man like you who is brave and capable." Li Cheng walked towards Mu Zheng, his full chest muscles almost touching Mu Zheng, frightening him so much that he stepped back repeatedly. "Ms. Li, I don't know what kind of rumors spread last night that made you think I was brave and had good lasting skills. But I want to say that I didn't touch Jin Lian at all."

"What?" This time it was Li Cheng's turn to pick her ears, but she still didn't understand.

A moment later, with a roar, Mu Zheng was kicked out of the room by Li Lian.

But after a while, Mu Zheng was called back by Li Cheng again.

"Come with me, will you?" There was no smile on Li Cheng's face this time.

"But I have already followed Master Lian, and he has never treated me unfairly." Mu Zheng said.

Of course, this was just Mu Zheng's excuse. He originally thought that Li Cheng gave him the golden lotus because he was interested in his identity as Li Lian's bodyguard and wanted to please Li Lian in this way, but now it seems that is not the case.

"I understand. A man's reputation comes first when he's out on the road." Li Cheng said casually, "I'm not asking you to abandon Li Lian. I just want you to be my escort for this delivery. After all, our transfer station has just been established and we're seriously short-staffed."

Mu Zheng clicked his tongue.

It is true that the transfer station has just been established, but with the capabilities of the Li family, it is impossible to say that there is a shortage of manpower.

There is also the middle position, which is an important position.

What is betting?

Understand it this way: there is a leader in front to lead the way, and a tailman at the back to prevent anyone from falling behind. The person in the position neither in front nor behind is called the middleman, and his main responsibility is to maintain order in the caravan, etc. In simple terms, it is to ensure that the long caravan does not become chaotic or dispersed.

Mu Zheng still hesitated.

Li Cheng added fuel to the fire: "If you think like this, since you're going to take this path anyway, what's wrong with doing a job and earning a few cents?"

Mu Zheng's expression began to relax: "But if something happens along the way, I won't be able to take care of Master Lian and the caravan at the same time."

Upon hearing this, Li Cheng waved his hand and said, "If this happens, you should give priority to Master Lian."

"Really?" Mu Zheng's eyes lit up.

"Really!" Li Cheng said with certainty.

"Okay, I agree!" Mu Zheng pretended to be flattered. He wanted to see what Li Cheng's real purpose was in recruiting him!
