Li Mo was seriously injured in the battle to seize the county city, but fortunately his muscles and bones were not injured. He rested in the county mansion for more than half a month and then recovered.
This time, the burden of delivering a letter to Ning Wushuang's parents and picking up the two elders fell on him again.
Qi Huan originally didn't want Li Mo to come because he felt sorry for his health, but Li Mo insisted on coming and said that he would be fine.
Li Mo wanted to do this personally for two reasons.
Firstly, it is because this matter is of great importance, related to the safety of Weihu County, and whether it can recruit Ning Wushuang, a handsome man. It is very important. It can even be said to be the most important job of the Shadow Guard in recent times. Li Mo Only by doing it can you be sure of success.
The second reason is that Qiu Ying was sent to Dongping County a long time ago, even before the Guiling Pass, to focus on inquiring about the intelligence of King Andong.
Li Mo... missed Qiu Ying a little, so he insisted on taking on this task.
Li Mo inspected the environment of Ning Mansion as he walked. Although there were some flowers and plants, the decoration and objects were all too ordinary, without the temperament of a wealthy family at all.
Because Ning Wushuang was not good at sociability, and when he was the commander-in-chief, he did not accept bribes or take free money, so his family has always been poor.
Even the servant is just an old servant of Zhou. When Ning Wushuang's father separated and established a family, the Ning family assigned him a servant. He has not hired other servants to this day.
This man was very loyal to Ning Wushuang's parents. He had been a servant for so many years and never married. He was not greedy for money or lustful. He did not take kickbacks when buying and selling meat and vegetables. He worked hard and endured hardships with the Ning family.
After arriving in the kitchen, Old Servant Zhou said,
"Okay, put the dishes down. Lao Zhang should have told you that the money is paid monthly."
After Li Mo put down his burden, he smiled and said,
"Mr. Zhou, I have just taken over my cousin's job. Do you want me to say hello to the head of the family and say a few words to him?"
"Okay, come with me."
Mr. Zhou immediately nodded in agreement.
Li Mo was startled when he heard this. Did he agree so easily?
Seeing Li Mo's surprise, Mr. Zhou smiled and said,
"The master of the house is bored at home every day, and no guests come to visit on weekdays. He is also very idle. No matter you are a pig butcher or a wood chopper, as long as you want to see him, he is willing to say a few words."
Hearing this, Li Mo smiled. It seemed that Ning Wushuang's father was also a master who was unwilling to be mediocre.
In this way, it will be easier to handle.
Following Old Pu Zhou, Li Mo came outside the study and saw an old man with gray hair lying on a recliner, holding a book in his hand and reading while basking in the sun.
Next to him, there was an old woman, holding a needle and thread, holding the soles of her shoes. Judging from the size of the shoes, they should be worn by the burly Ning Wushuang.
"Sir, the nephew of the vegetable seller Zhang is here to visit you."
"oh?"
Hearing this, the old man sat up, looked at Li Mo in surprise, and said with a smile,
"They say that nephews follow uncles. You and Lao Zhang are really similar."
"The old man has good eyesight."
Li Mo smiled. He looked nothing like Lao Zhang. The unfortunate guy was still tied up at home.
"Okay, what do you want from me?"
asked the old man.
"Old man, everything I want to say is here."
Li Mo took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Father Ning respectfully with both hands.
"Hey, you're still writing letters, isn't this guy Lao Zhang good at arithmetic?"
Ning's father took the envelope and opened it with a smile. Then his face changed drastically and he sat up straight, his eyes widening.
His appearance frightened Ning's mother and Zhou Laopu, and they asked quickly,
"What's wrong, sir?"
Father Ning said with trembling hands,
"It's Wushuang's personal letter, it's Wushuang's personal letter!"
"What? Let me see, oh, I can't read, please read it to me!"
Ning's mother said anxiously.
What the letter said was that Ning Wushuang himself had surrendered to Nie Chen. Nie Chen treated him very well. He also made him the generalissimo and gave him his mansion. He valued him very much. He had decided to be loyal to Nie Chen in the future. He asked his parents to follow the messenger and quietly leave the county and go to Weihu County to join him.
After hearing the letter, the three members of the Ning family all stared at Li Mo with their eyes widened.
"Is this... your letter true or false?"
Father Ning asked hesitantly.
"Old man, you have read a lot of poetry and books, and you recognize Ning Shuai's handwriting. This cannot be faked.
In fact, Ning Shuai had already made a decision before he arrived at Weihu County, and then sent me to deliver the letter to you.
I am a member of Mr. Nie, the governor of Weihu County. My lord thinks very highly of Ning Shuai. He made him the commander of the army and gave him a mansion with seven rooms, countless gold and silver treasures, and dozens of maids and maids. "
"Qi Jin's courtyard?"
Ning's father stood up in surprise. Except when he was a child in the Ning family's mansion, he had never lived in such a big house. Moreover, when he was in the Ning family's mansion, he was just a bastard, and his status was better than that of a servant. At one point, when he saw his direct descendants, he wanted to kneel down. Although he had lived in a big house, that big house had nothing to do with him.
He was extremely eager to have such a big house.
Li Mo struck the railroad while it was hot,
"Yes, old man, that kind of treatment is something that King Anton cannot give.
Ning Shuai was much suspected and suppressed here, and he had long been dissatisfied with King Anton.
So I communicated with my lord early and wanted to take refuge with my lord. Now that Ning Shuai has surrendered, Dongping County is like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den to him.
Therefore, he asked the villain to take you back. "
"Oh, that's right. Mr. Nie is the new master of Wushuang. Even if he wants to come back, others can't rest assured. It is indeed reasonable and reasonable for you to pick him up.
Brother, when will we leave? "
Ning's father can't wait to live in Qijin's big house.
Li Mo smiled and said,
"Old man, now your house is surrounded by King Anton's spies. Ning Shuai leads the troops, but King Anton doesn't trust him. We have been observing him for several days. At night, there will be less spies of King Anton. , two people each from the north and south, let’s go out through the back door on the north side and leave quietly.
I will arrange a carriage, and we will go to the river and take a boat out of the city. There are also carriages arranged outside the city. "
"Oh, okay, let's pack our bags tonight and sell off the house and property..."
"Oh, my old man, why don't you understand?"
Li Mo said anxiously,
"Now King Anton's eyes are on you. You only have a house like this in your house. If you sell it, even a fool would know that you want to run away!
King Anton is afraid that he will come here directly to arrest people!
You just need to pack a few clothes and baggage. We have prepared food and clothing for the journey. When we arrive in Weihu County, we will enjoy endless glory and wealth. Do you still care about these little things? "
"Yes, yes, I'm confused. Okay, let's meet in the evening. We'll wait for you at home."
