Li Mu waved his hand and Changsun Chong resigned and left. Li Mu frowned and thought for a while, found a horse and went straight to Chang'an City.
In the past few days, one thing followed another, and he didn't even have time to take a breath. Li Mu couldn't remember when Dugujiu had disappeared. He vaguely remembered that he seemed to have seen him on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, but he didn't seem to have seen him.
After saying a few words, no one was seen again.
The next day was the day when he and Li Zhien got married. It was really hard not to connect the two things, which made Li Mu feel a little worried.
Dugujiu is a very strange guy, and sometimes Li Mu doesn't know what's going on with him.
Although his voice sounds like that of a girl, his acting style is nothing like that of a woman. He does things neatly and neatly, without being sloppy at all. He has a very tough side to his personality.
But when a beautiful woman appears next to Li Mu, he will act as if he is jealous. This makes Li Mu feel very strange and confused.
Li Mu once thought that Dugu Jiu might have a distorted personality because of his voice, and that he thought he was a woman and that he liked men. But after observing, Li Mu found that this was not the case. Dugu Jiu was a very normal man.
It's just a bit of inexplicable possessiveness.
This should be related to the environment in which he grew up. Because of his unique voice, he has never had many friends. And because his family forced him to get married, he rebelled and rejected women. As for what appears in his life, he can really be called
He showed great concern and cherished the two people he was friends with, himself and Li Chongyi. It was just that he couldn't distinguish the boundaries of various emotions, so he confused himself and confused others.
Li Mu thinks so.
There is no way to talk about this kind of thing. Especially between two men, it would be very strange to talk about this kind of topic. So Li Mu has been avoiding talking to Dugu Jiu, but chose to use guidance to let him have his own
He wanted to do things he wanted to do, so he held the Jianghu Rangers Arena to allow Dugujiu to devote his energy to the things he liked and save him from having to think too much.
But when Dugujiu really did this, Li Mu felt as if there was an empty space next to him, and he began to miss him.
Thinking of Dugu Jiu, Li Mu thought of Li Chongyi again. Counting the days, it was almost two months since the big man left. In these two months, except for one news when Ma Zhou came back, there was no news.
If you say you are not worried, you must be lying.
Li Mu has a special sense of responsibility for Li Chongyi. Because this boy has no relatives in the world, only a big brother like him. He is only fifteen after the Chinese New Year. Although he looks tall and powerful, in fact there is no city. What he does
He did everything Li Mu asked him to do.
Li Mu was very afraid that his words would kill this boy. He went to Zhenla like this. If he successfully retrieved the rice seeds, it would be fine. If he encountered bandits in the mountains and forests on the way, it would be fine. How big of a group of bandits could there be?
The opponent of Wubai Jinyiwei.
I'm just afraid that the further south I go, the more miasma will occur, I won't be able to adapt to the climate, and I'll get sick...
Thinking of this, Li Mu was very upset. Someone recognized him on the street, but he ignored him and stayed silent all the way. For more than half an hour, he arrived at Jingdong Market. He walked through the market and came to the school ground near the east city wall.
, he heard the sound of shouting and shouting. It was completely different from the scene he saw last time. When he saw these dandy young masters this time, they almost lost their dandy atmosphere. Instead, they were neat and uniform, with orders and prohibitions. Even when he saw Li Mu
When I came over, no one looked at me. They all stared straight ahead, not even daring to move.
When he got closer, Li Mu could see clearly. He saw that everyone's face had several whip marks, some of which were still very fresh, as if they had just been whipped not long ago.
Cheng Chu silently shouted the slogan, and when he saw Li Mu coming, he motioned for everyone to stop.
"Master Hou, you are here."
Li Mu smiled and said: "You and I are equals in teaching. We don't need to address each other with honorifics. Just call me by name, Brother Cheng. I will leave for Dingxiang tomorrow. I still completed the training meticulously today. You are really a role model for me as a soldier of the Tang Dynasty. I am worthy of admiration."
It’s worth learning!”
Cheng Chumo smiled modestly and said: "Actually, there is nothing to teach you now. Everyone is doing very well. I came here today mainly to say goodbye to everyone. Later I will invite everyone to have a meal in the heaven and earth. Mr. Hou
If you are free, we can go together."
Is it so harmonious?
Li Mu glanced at the whip marks on Fang Yiai's face. Cheng Chumo followed Li Mu's gaze and understood his doubts. He leaned into Li Mu's ear and whispered, "I didn't hit him, he did."
Before he finished speaking, Li Mu saw Cheng Chumo suddenly shut his mouth. Fang Yiai and others, who had finally rested for a while, also straightened their backs and stood up straight. At the same time, Li Mu only heard something like scratching behind him.
There was a strong gust of wind, and before he could react, there were two more people in front of him. One of them was Dugu Jiu, and the other, whom Li Mu didn't recognize, had a sharp beak, monkey cheeks, and a hooked nose, and he didn't look like a good person.
The two stood still. Dugujiu's face was slightly rosy and he was not panting. But the hooked nose seemed to be motion sickness, his eyes were dull, he was swaying while standing, and he was breathing heavily.
He was retching, and his face was gray and bloodless.
"Brother, you are here."
Dugujiu greeted him as usual, and there was no difference at all. Li Mu looked at him like this and didn't mention anything else. He pointed at the hooked nose in front of him and said, "What is this?"
"He said he was good at qinggong and wanted to compete with me. I competed with him and ran around the four gates of Chang'an City."
Li Mu noticed a detail. When Dugu Jiu was talking, his hooked nose opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't dare to speak. From this, Li Mu knew that things might not be as Dugu Jiu said.
In that case, it was probably because Dugu Jiu heard that this person was good at Qing Kung Fu and insisted on dragging him to compete.
Li Mu smiled and didn't care. He looked at the hooked nose and asked, "What's your name?"
"Returning to the Marquis, the villain Wei Fu."
"Ah, I remembered." When Li Mu heard this name, he thought of this person. In order to hype up the arena competition that day, he made up sects and nicknames for these rangers. This person's surname was Wei, and he was good at light kung fu.
He named him "Blue Winged Bat King".
"It turns out that it was the Green Winged Bat King who was disrespectful and disrespectful in person."
The Green-winged Bat King hurriedly bowed and said: "The Marquis has defeated the villain. How dare the villain call him 'king'? The villain has never dared to mention the ridiculous compliments of the Marquis."
"The nickname of Jianghu is naturally a little big, otherwise how can we control the factory? To be honest, I am also the leader of a sect, and I am the founder of the Xiaoyao sect. We are all children of Jianghu, so there is no need to be too restrained.
"Yes." Li Mu comforted him, and then asked Dugu Jiu, "Xiao Jiu, I was about to ask you, where are the people who participated in the group competition a few days ago? Where are they now?"
"They all live in the craftsman's workshop, and the defeated ones are also there. There are sixty-four people in total."
"Has the kung fu that everyone is good at recorded?"
Dugujiu nodded. None of these people's skills were better than his. No way could hide it from his eyes.
Li Mu looked at the "Blue-winged Bat King" and said: "Have you rested yourself, King Bat? If you have rested well, please run over and tell your brothers that I am treating guests in heaven and on earth and let them come over to eat and drink. At the same time, for
Regarding the future, I will also give you an explanation as promised in advance."
"Have a rest, little one. Let's go now."
The Green-winged Bat King took a deep breath, tapped the ground with his toes, and leaped several feet away. The fact happened right in front of his eyes, and Li Mu's eyes almost popped out. If this kind of skill were passed down to a thousand years later, what kind of high jump, long jump, and pole vault would be possible?
, sprint hurdle marathon, isn’t the gold medal within reach?
Looking at the back of the Green-winged Bat King as he walked away, Li Mu felt envious for a while and said: "Xiao Jiu'er, when will I be able to run as fast without running so fast? I just need to run half as fast."
"Brother, this is not something you can practice. It requires talent. There may not be even one person with talent among a thousand people. You'd better not think about it."
Li Mu rolled his eyes at him and said, "You have talent, but I don't? I am the chosen one. I have extraordinary talent and can do everything. Just wait, I will definitely be able to practice."
Dugujiu snorted and turned his head to the side as if he was too lazy to argue.
Li Mu caught a glimpse of Fang Yiai and others from the corner of his eye, and saw that they all let out a sigh of relief. He couldn't help but feel funny in his heart. We are all of the same age, so why are we afraid of being like this?
"Okay, that's it for today. Let's pack up and go to the world of heaven and earth together. You go first. When you get there, say it's my treat. You can order whatever you like. I'm famous for having a lot of money, so there's no need to save it for me.
Money. The only thing is that you are not allowed to make any noise. If it disturbs the Supreme Emperor, you will not be able to eat and walk around!"
"As you command!"
Dozens of young men shouted in unison, which frightened Li Mu. He quickly waved his hand. Cheng Chumo shouted a slogan, and the team changed from horizontal to column and marched along the street towards the heaven and earth.
Watching the team run away, Li Mu patted Dugujiu on the shoulder and said, "Are you avoiding me on purpose?"
"No." Dugujiu looked at Li Mu as if nothing had happened, and said: "On the day you got married, I was drinking there and talking to my sister-in-law. I just saw you were busy and didn't bother you.
"
Li Mu frowned and said, "Why are heretics starting after we haven't seen each other for two days? Do you and I, brothers, still want to talk about this?"
Dugujiu was silent for a while and said: "Brother, I... don't know how to say it, but I know that you are right. I should also have my own things to do, like a big man, sharing your worries instead of letting others
You are troubled"
Li Mu opened his mouth and was about to speak when Dugu Jiu said again: "I feel pretty good now. Brother, look at how well I have trained these dudes. Isn't this a way to share your worries?"
"Alas..." Li Mu thought to himself, sharing the worries is actually sharing the worries. These young masters are so unlucky, they must all have some shadows in their hearts. Li Mu had a lot to say, but it slipped to his lips and he didn't know where to start.
, after thinking about it, he decided to forget it, patted Dugu Jiu on the shoulder, and said: "Let's go, get some money from the account, don't go empty-handed...? Xiaojiu, what do you think of Li Yourong? Look, Siwen has become a mature person now.
They got married, and there was nothing wrong with them. If you marry Li Yourong, you will be the consort. The Supreme Emperor values Li Yourong very much, and you know that he will enjoy endless glory and wealth."
"Brother, if you have nothing to talk about, you can just stop talking."
"What are you talking about? I'm your eldest brother, and I'm just saying this because I'm thinking of you. If you don't like her, what about Wei Yingluo? Wei Zheng's daughter, although her family is poorer, is a good match at least, so it's not an grievance."
"Brother, you can go alone. I'll go there first."
Dugujiu moved Li Mu's arm away from his shoulder, raised his body, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
…
Wang Ou accompanied Li Mu after breakfast and then returned to the city. He first went to Jingdongji's shop to look at the accounts, and then returned to the mansion next to Heaven and Earth. Li Mu no longer lived in Jingdongji, and there was no need for her to stay any longer.
Although the shop in Jingdongji was a bit wasteful, the money was just a small amount for her, so she didn't take it to heart.
After bathing and changing his clothes, Wang Ou went to the private room on the second floor of the Heaven and Earth to drink tea.
She likes to stay here, firstly because the tea here is good, and secondly, staying here reminds her of many beautiful memories. The scenes of Li Mu's "Come Into the Wine" and "Qingping Diao" seem to be just yesterday.
It's just that in recent times, Li Mu rarely comes to heaven and earth, which is a bit regretful.
Wang Ou has an indifferent temperament. When she has nothing to do, she also likes to compose poems, just for entertainment. Occasionally she paints one or two paintings with ink, which are also excellent choices. She is worthy of the name of a talented woman. But she does not socialize with others.
No one has the honor to see or know about her talents.
Wang Ou was painting a piece of peony when she suddenly heard a loud noise. The pen in her hand was just dipped in ink and she was disturbed. A drop of ink fell on the rice paper, ruining a good painting. This was what she planned to hang.
In the small courtyard in the valley, the paintings in her own room were ruined like this, and she suddenly felt very bad. She wished she could attract venomous snakes and kill all these noisy people to relieve her hatred.
Wang Ou raised his eyebrows and said displeasedly: "Who is making the noise?"
The maid came in and whispered back, "Miss, it's someone who participated in the ring competition a few days ago. He said it was a treat from the Marquis. I saw Wei Fu just now. Do you want to ask him to come over and ask questions?"
"It's them?"
Wang Ou put down his pen, frowned and thought for a while, and said: "No need, there are so many people with so many eyes now. If someone sees it, it will be difficult to explain. I am not in a hurry. Let Wei Fu come see me tomorrow."
"Yes." The maid responded and retreated.
Wang Ou removed the rice paper on the table, changed a pen, and drew the peony picture again.
The purpose of arranging people around Li Mu is to help Li Mu, and also for other purposes. Wang Ou herself is also very upset. She wants to keep this relationship pure, but things in this world often backfire.
