On the seventh day of the moon, outside Chang'an, the blue sky is vast and cloudless, and the warm wind carries the air. It is a good day to go out. Wei Zongdao looked at the vast plains, and the fatigue between his eyebrows faded a lot. Suddenly he stopped, looked at the mountains and rivers in the distance and sighed heavily.

"Sir, are you worried?" Liu Jinzhong looked at Wei Zong who suddenly sighed, and his thick eyebrows jumped on his round face, and his hands hidden in his sleeves accumulated strength.

"You are not my opponent yet." Wei Zongdao did not look back, and his voice was calm as usual, but it made Liu Jinzhong's forehead appear cold sweat on his forehead and his face turned pale.

"I have fought with Cao Shaoqin for twenty years. Will I not know his temperament and methods?" Wei Zongdao laughed in a low voice. He turned around and stared at Liu Jinzhong with a pale face. He said, "I originally wanted to kill you and let him know to reach out to the Jinyiwei. I will be angry, very angry."

"What do you want to say?" Liu Jinzhong, who always seemed cautious and even a little humble, suddenly stood up straight. Although his face was still pale, his eyes had already quieted down. Wei Zongdao in front of him wanted to kill him, just like crushing an ant to death, and there was no need to say these words to him.

"You are a talent. I asked you to rectify the Jinyiwei. You did a good job." Looking at Liu Jinzhong's standing upright, Wei Zongdao laughed, "So I'll give you a way out."

"If you don't want to say anything else, I don't want to say more. Think about it, I'll give you a quarter of an hour." Wei Zongdao said. He turned around and walked away, leaving Liu Jinzhong alone standing alone.

After looking at the lush and quiet grass leaves around, Liu Jinzhong thought of Cao Shaoqin's dead face, his pupils tightened, and the dagger fell quietly in his sleeves. He carefully leaned towards Wei Zongdao's back in front.

"What a pity!" Wei Zongdao shook his head. There was a dense sound of arrow feathers behind him. He turned around and looked at Liu Jinzhong's round face, who was open with his eyes wide open and unwilling to fall down, and sighed, "I have given you a way out. Alas!"

In the quiet four fields, there was still no trace of people. Wei Zongdao stepped over the corpse on the ground and walked towards the Qingqing Bamboo House in the distance.

In the churning purple pottery stove, the tea fragrance was everywhere. Li Mowen notes, that is, Li Zheng gently picked it up, put the tea on the small cup of Wei Zongdao in front of him, and said quietly. "Sir, please!"

"Not bad. The craftsmanship is much more exquisite." After taking a sip, Wei Zongdao concentrated on his mind and savored it. He put down the teacup and said, "You really plan to use Mo Wen as the name, and you will not change it anymore."

"Sir, Mo Wen has used dozens of names in the past seven years, so I really don't want to change it day and night." Li Mo Wen replied. He joined the Jinyiwei and followed Wei Zongdao for nearly ten years. He has always been regarded as a confidant by Wei Zongdao. He did many important and secret matters in Wei Zongdao.

"It's good that you have been with me for so long. It's time to come out and see people openly." Wei Zongdao drank all the tea in the cup, looked at him sitting opposite him, and when he was young, he followed his confidant and said in a deep voice.

"I will give you the position of Deputy Commander of the Jinyiwei, and I will win over that Li Qianhu for me." Wei Zongdao stood up and walked towards the window, "Dongchang offended him. If you have an old relationship with him, please make sure that he will stand on our side in the future."

"Sir, are you talking about Li Ang?" Li Mowen's hand trembled and his brows frowned. When he returned to Chang'an, he was injured on the road and had been recuperating for more than a month, not knowing what had happened recently.

"He has been granted the status of Longxiang Guard in Black Spear. As long as there is no mistake in the future, it is probably only a matter of time before the establishment of the government. Moreover, the chief, the Grand Marshal, and His Majesty all favor him very much." Thinking of Li Ang, Wei Zongdao said lightly, "Shaoqin used him as bait a few days ago and caught Liu Lian's remnants. I heard that he was injured. I think he would not have a good impression of the East Factory."

"Sir, even if he has the identity of the Black Spear Dragon Xiang Guard, His Majesty and the Chief General, the Grand Sima are very optimistic about him, and he doesn't need to be so deliberately good at it, right?" Li Mowen frowned. He knew that Wei Zongdao's character would rarely attach so much importance to someone.

"Mo Wen, how do you think the Qin Dynasty has been doing in the past thirty years?" Wei Zongdao looked at the setting sun outside the window and suddenly said quietly.

"This." Li Mowen hesitated a little. He was in a spy system like the Jinyiwei, so he naturally understood the real situation of the country. After gritting his teeth, he still answered truthfully. "Since this dynasty defeated Rome, although the wealth he had seized from the Silk Road and the Waterway was more than before, the money was not spent on the people, but on the increasing salary of civil servants. Corruption in various places is growing. If this continues, the country will not be a country."

"You said it more seriously, but it is true that officials and businessmen colluded with each other, and the wealthy clans were rampant and the people suffered a lot." Wei Zongdao turned around and looked at Li Mowen's restrained face and said, "What do you think at this time, Your Majesty, Chief, and Grand Sima also valued a young man from a poor family at the same time?"

"Your Majesty wants to eliminate corruption?" Li Mowen thought for a while, but soon he denied it. If the emperor was determined to deal with corruption, he would just need the Jinyiwei and Dongchang to secretly search for evidence, and then hand it over to the Supervision Office, work with the Ministry of Justice, and the Three Departments of Dali Temple for trial.

"Your Majesty is planning to attack the powerful families." Wei Zongdao glanced at Li Mowen and said quietly, "In the past ten years, nearly half of the black spear Longxiang Guards around Your Majesty are no longer children of major wealthy families, but mostly children of poor families. Your Majesty is already dissatisfied with the civil servants who have formed arbitrary decision in the court."

"Those ancestors were originally just poor Han's family, but now they are suppressing talents from the same poor family." Wei Zongdao walked back to the side of the case, picked up the tea cup full of tea and said, "If this continues, the real country will not be able to control the country. Your Majesty saw this, so he has already started to make arrangements in secret."

"What do you mean by sir?" Li Mowen's brows frowned even more. He suddenly felt that Chang'an would soon fall into the whirlpool of fighting. I wonder how many people would land on the ground by then.

"The noble families who founded the country back then should have replaced some people." Wei Zongdao whispered, "If the old high sect is defeated, a new aristocratic family must rise up to balance the forces of all parties."

"Sir, the poor families in the black spear Longxiang Guard are the new families that Your Majesty wants to support." Li Mowen guessed what Wei Zongdao meant, but was secretly shocked. Which family that founded the country was not deeply rooted and powerful, and it was not easy to deal with them.

"Yes, these people have shallow foundations. Once they fight against those high sects, if they do not have the support of His Majesty and the royal family, it is tantamount to seeking death." Wei Zongdao nodded and said, "Your Majesty needs a new family loyal to the royal family and the Qin family, and those people can also establish a sect and build a mansion because of this, and they will inevitably work hard to serve the royal family."

"That young man named Li Ang is one of them. From the perspective of His Majesty, the Chief Minister, and the Grand Sima, who are optimistic about him, he is likely to be one of the newly emerging heads of the great families in the next twenty years, and it is worth making friends with." Wei Zongdao put down his teacup and looked at Li Mowen, "So, you must try your best to make friends with him. As long as you don't let the Jinyiwei face those wealthy families head-on, you can help him with other things."

"Don't worry, sir, Mo Wen understands." Li Mo Wen nodded. He would do this for both public and private. For him, Li Ang is the kind of friend worthy of making.

"At the end of August, the princes and Prince An Changsheng of Rome will come to Chang'an. He will be one of the secret guards. You can get close to him and get along with him first." Wei Zongdao walked towards the door and left the bamboo house.

…

Walking on the streets of Hanlinfang with warmth, Li Mowen recalled Li Ang’s daily life and diet these days, frowned slightly, got up early to practice martial arts every day, then wrote and painted, and played piano and chess at night. It was exactly the same as the obedient children of the noble family in the Chang'an Gongqin family, and could not see anything valuable.

"Please report your master to your family and say that Li Mowen is visiting." Walking to Li Ang's mansion, Li Mowenchao stood at the door, with Hei Mo and Hei Luo wrapped in white gauze.

"Wait." Heimo glanced at Li Mowen, asked his younger brother to look at the young man who looked harmless, and went into the inner hall study to report to Li Ang.

"Take Lord Li to the lobby, I'll be there later." Li Ang listened to Heimo's general instructions and gave a light order, continuing to draw the unfinished ink bamboo picture.

Putting the wolf hair on the pen to wash it, Li Ang glanced at the ink bamboo that had been drawn on the paper, "It's not even time to go home!" He shook his head and walked out of the study. Thinking of Li Mowen, who settled in Feng Siniang, Cen Ji, Lin Fengshuang, and Drizzt, Li Ang frowned slightly. The "old friend" of the Jinyiwei changed his name and solved the household registration problem of several people for him as soon as he appeared. He didn't know what the purpose was.

"Brother Li, it's been a long time since I saw Li Ang walking out, Li Mowen was stunned for a while before greeting. The Li Ang he had known before was as cold as a knife, and his every move was filled with the iron spirit of a soldier on the battlefield. However, the elegant young man in white clothes and smiling at the corners of his mouth looked like a talented man, and he could not remind people of the cold and cruel officer who had killed Xiao Ran before.

"You are polite, Lord Li." Li Ang bowed and asked Li Mowen to sit down and said, "Si Niang and the others have to thank Lord Li for their household registration, otherwise I don't know when it will be done."

"Brother Li said this. Brother Li and Boss Feng have saved me. This household registration is just a matter of raising hands. What's the point of noticing?" Li Mowen looked at Li Ang, who always smiled, making people feel like spring breeze. He couldn't figure out his thoughts at all, and couldn't help but feel worried.

"Lord Li is in a bad mood, but..." Seeing Li Mowen's face pale, Li Ang asked, with a faint look of worry in his expression, which made people feel a little moved. However, Li Mowen, who knew that Li Ang was completely different from each other, would not think so.

"It's hard to describe it. On that day, I pressed Zhu Ting's substitute back to Chang'an. On the way, I encountered a robbery from Liu Lian, a member of the tutor of the tutoring department. I was accidentally killed and seriously injured. If I hadn't been for my great fortune, I might have already left the Yellow Spring and accompany the substitute." Li Mowen shook his head and smiled bitterly, with a hint of hatred in his eyes.

"That day I met Mr. Xu from Dongchang that year, but he had nothing to do. Didn't he go with Lord Li?" Li Ang asked deliberately, wanting to see if Li Mowen came to plot against Dongchang.

"Dongchang has always been insidious. I am too stupid. I believe the surname Xu, and I am obsessed with the plan and became his bait." Li Mowen shook his head, his tone was calm, and he just bit his teeth slightly, which showed his anger.

"I didn't expect that Lord Li was also calculated by the East Factory. It was the same as my experience." Li Ang smiled and covered his shoulders and said, "But I am better than Lord Li, and I just suffered some skin injuries."

"Brother Li has ever thought about seeking justice from the East Factory?" Li Mowen asked with a smile when he saw Li Ang say this.

"How to seek justice? Even Lord Li was able to swallow his anger when he suffered a loss. What can I do with such a small thousand households?" Seeing Li Mowen ask him with a smile, Li Ang replied in a daze. He didn't expect Li Mowen to be in such a state of expression.

"Brother Li said it, but I'm confused." Li Mowen laughed and then said, "After August, the Jinyiwei and Dongchang will work with Brother Li and others to protect the princes and Prince An Changsheng in the Roman land. To be honest, Mowen is here to cooperate with Brother Li to avoid taking the Eastchang road again."

Seeing that Li Mowen was honest, Li Ang smiled and said, "Mr. Li said, I am asking for help from the Jinyiwei. I don't have to seek the people from the Dongchang area, and they will be plotted against."

"In this case, then Brother Li will respond." Li Mowen stood up and bowed to Li Ang, "I still have some mundane affairs, so I will say goodbye first, Brother Li will stay."

Walking out of the yard and looking at Li Mowen's disappearing in a hurry, Li Ang frowned. He was really unable to figure out what Li Mowen was coming. He cooperated with him, but he was just a guard. How could he, the new deputy commander of the Jinyiwei, come here in person?

"If I come to deal with Dongchang, it would be more trustworthy!" Li Ang murmured to himself and walked back to the study. In short, he absolutely distrusts people from places like Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and Zhenfushi. These people are all lie veterans. They are really fake. They are really tiring to deal with them.

When he returned to Chang'an and saw Lin Fengshuang, Li Ang was stunned and asked, "Didn't you go brewing with Si Niang? Why are you here?"

"The wine has been all gone into the cellar. Sister Feng and I met Mr. Xun again on the street just now. He said he wanted to come to our house tonight?" Lin Fengshuang thought of Feng Si Niang whom she didn't dare to ask, and couldn't help but bit her mouth and smiled.

"It's so lingering!" Thinking that Xun Rizhao had been knocked out by Feng Si Niang, who was still unwilling to give up, Li Ang shook his head and sighed, "Let him come on, you cook some side dishes tonight, which can be regarded as thanking them."

"Okay, I'll tell Si Niang." Lin Fengshuang smiled and walked out of the study. When she was about to reach the door, she suddenly turned around and asked, "Today is the last day of the Chinese Valentine's Day party. You haven't left the door for half a month. Do you want it..."
