Looking at Lu Hongti who was horrified in his heart but trying to keep calm on his face, Li Mu smiled and said, "I heard that you want to kill Song Xian?"
Lu Hongti's eyes tightened: "You...you are from the government."
Li Mu laughed: "Do you think I look like him?"
Lu Hongti shook his head in confusion: "It's not like that." The person in front of him really didn't look like someone from the government. He had never heard of such an unpredictable master in the government.
"What do you want to do?"
Li Mu smiled and said, "As I said, I was also present at yesterday's fight. I see that you are good at it. Come and have a look."
Lu Hongti seemed to sense that he had no ill intentions, and said boldly: "In this case, if we don't offend the river, why do you..."
Li Mu smiled and said: "Whoever asked you to take action first, I can only take action. Don't worry, I won't send you to the official."
Lu Hongti clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Master. I was here to recuperate, but when I heard someone coming in, I did it for self-protection...I didn't mean to do anything."
Li Mu said: "I understand. You are in a bad situation at the moment. I was indeed reckless in coming."
When Lu Hongti heard what he said, she finally felt relieved, and then thought of something: "Young Master just mentioned Song Xian, do you know him?"
Li Mu shook his head: "I don't know him. I've heard some rumors about him. It's said that he used to be a gangster, but...he has a bad reputation. It's said that he's ruthless, domineering, and will retaliate. He even killed good people and took credit for it before.
This move has a very bad official reputation.”
"If you assassinate him, it's considered killing him!"
Lu Hongti glanced at him in surprise: "Young master, do you think Song Xian should be killed?"
Li Mu said with a smile: "Of course he should be killed. If you don't wait until you recover from your injuries, I will accompany you for a while and get his head back."
Lu Hongti looked at Li Mu seriously: Why did the young master do this?"
Li Mu chuckled: "How come there are so many reasons, and he is not a good person, so you can't dislike him."
Lu Hongti was silent for a while, and then suddenly talked about her experience and the reason for assassinating Song Xian.
"Master, my surname is Lu and my given name is Hongti. My home is west of Yanmenguan, on the other side of Luliang Mountain."
"Since the loss of the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun, our side has been completely in chaos. The Hu people have to clear grass and grain every year, kill and loot, and do all kinds of evil. They are in fear every day, and there is no peace of mind at all."
"So everyone was like a lonely ghost, moving around in the ravines every year to avoid the barbarians. Some people wanted to go south, and some were unable to leave their homeland. Later, they organized themselves and became the Luliang Mountains that have been repeated for hundreds of years.
Bandits."
Li Mu sighed: "I rejoice at the banks of the Fen River, gather together in the middle and south of Jin, and cry at the Luliang Mountains. I will die at Yanmen Pass."
Lu Hongti looked at him twice, his eyes softened a lot, and he sighed softly for a while: "We are mixed between the Wu Dynasty and the Hu people. We are all Han people, but the Wu Dynasty army did not dare to come. On the contrary, the Hu people went south every year.
, fighting with us every year.”
"After all, we are poor and weak. When we encounter a small group of Hu people, we will swarm them and hide when they encounter a large group. We are poor and short of ambition and lack of supplies, so we will inevitably plunder the passing caravans. The Han people should show some mercy and spare no lives. Hu
People are not so cheap anymore. This is how the Luliang Mountain bandits got their reputation."
"The Wu Dynasty has not regarded us as human beings for so many years, so everyone just came here. Later, officials came to recruit people, and those who accepted the recruitment were dragged out to fight with the Hu people. Although they were given very little supplies, they could only survive and could kill the Hu people.
Everyone is still willing to work hard. Many villages that cannot survive will accept the imperial edict."
"As a result, three years ago."
Speaking of this, her tone was a little low.
"Three years ago, Song Xian led troops into the Luliang Mountains. He also said that he wanted to recruit people and offered good conditions. After attracting people from several nearby villages, he suddenly turned his back and started to kill people from these villages.
Men, women, old and young, surrounded them all and killed them all."
"It is said...it is said that the Liao Kingdom felt that Luliang Mountain was under their noses and could not be killed. It was too troublesome. They said that these are Han people and let Wu Kingdom handle it."
"Many generals at the border knew that Luliang Mountain was specialized in killing barbarians, so they tried to fool them. After Song Xian heard the news, he saw an opportunity for promotion, and immediately asked for orders to come to Luliang Mountain, and used the excuse of recruiting security to lure and kill several villages.
The person took it as merit and was promoted."
"Many people I know have also been killed. This time when I come to Jiangning, I will definitely kill Song Xian to avenge the elders of Luliang Mountain."
Li Mu sighed: "Alas! Jiangning is prosperous with singing and dancing, but in the north there are still constant wars, and the people are in dire straits."
Lu Hongti sneered and said: "Now that the Liao and Jin Dynasties are fighting for supremacy in the north, sooner or later one will win. The Wu Dynasty thought that they would be fine if they bowed their heads and remained humble. They underestimated the wolfish ambitions of the Hu people."
"If we don't make preparations early, not only Bianliang in Tokyo, but also Jiangnan, where singing and dancing are flourishing, will be trampled by cavalry sooner or later. It will be too late to regret it by then. How can I know that today in Luliang Mountain will not be the tomorrow of the Wu Dynasty."
Following this topic, the two chatted for a long time. Lu Hongti had been active near Luliang Mountain for a long time. He may not have a thorough understanding of the overall situation of the Northland, but it also allowed Li Mu to see from another angle, from the bottom, from the perspective of the world.
The situation in the entire Northland was clarified.
It seems that the Liao and Jin were fighting, and the Wu Dynasty was sitting on a fisherman's advantage. In fact, it was sitting on a powder keg. If either side of the Liao and Jin Dynasties won, they would go south to make up for their losses with a feast.
What's more, on the grasslands at this time, nomadic peoples are also rising rapidly, and their future power will make the world fearful.
This kind of power cannot be resisted by an individual. It needs to be prepared in advance. At least it must have a basic base and its own power.
He reached out and brushed Lu Hongti's body, and Lu Hongti's strength that had disappeared returned to his body again.
Her eyes were full of curiosity: "What kind of martial arts are you using? Is it the legendary acupuncture point?"
Li Mu nodded. There is no acupuncture skill in this world. There may have been some in the past, but some legends have been left behind. No one can do it now.
As for the reason, acupoint tapping is not just a matter of tapping with your fingers. It requires the coordination of true energy to drive the true energy into the key acupuncture points in other people's bodies, which hinders the flow of energy and blood, making people unable to move or losing all their strength.

Can't see or hear.
There are also many unique acupuncture techniques with different effects. There are many kinds of them.
The premise of all this is to release the true energy to the outside. If you cannot release the true energy to the outside, how can you inject the true energy into other people's acupoints?
According to Li Mu's understanding, it seems that no one in this world except him can do this, so the skill of tapping acupuncture points naturally exists in name only and has gradually become a legend.
"Okay, I'll give you your sword back." After saying that, he returned the dagger that Lu Hong was carrying to her.
With his strength back and the dagger in his hand, Lu Hongti felt a little sense of security and felt at ease.
"Thanks!"
Li Mu chuckled: "You're welcome."
"You have to recuperate these days. The conditions here are not satisfactory. I have a small and clean courtyard. No one else goes there on weekdays. I don't live there either. Do you want to stay there temporarily?"
Lu Hongti hesitated for a moment. The condition of this adobe house, which almost collapsed into ruins, was indeed very poor. Seeing Li Mu's sincere tone, he nodded: "Thank you!"
Li Mu smiled: "Okay, I'll take you there."
The courtyard was not big, and it was near the academy. Li Mu had received a lot of writing fees, and had no shortage of money, so he spent more than 800 yuan to buy such a small and quiet courtyard.
It is convenient for him to handle some personal matters, and it is also close to the academy. He can come back for a break at any time.
Lu Hongti was placed in a wing room, where pots, pans, bedding, and all kinds of daily necessities were complete. It was inconvenient for Lu Hongti to go out, so Li Mu bought a batch of ingredients and some women's clothes.
"Okay, you just stay here to recover from your injuries. When you are healed, I will take you to Song Xian's place."
