As soon as Li Mu spoke, he received a blow on the head from Master Mei.
Master Mei glared at him and said, "Didn't I warn you not to criticize His Majesty? If other members of the inner guard hear it, they will have to hang you up and beat you..."
Li Mu rubbed his head and said, "Isn't this in front of you..."
Master Mei snorted coldly and said, "You can't even do it in front of me."
Li Mu shook his head repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I won't ask again..."
Gossip is human nature. The higher the status of a person, the more people will gossip about her. Not only Li Mu, many people in Shendu are gossiping about this matter.
"Okay, I have delivered your Majesty's reward, and I'm going back to the palace." Lord Mei glanced at him angrily and said, "Your Majesty is pure and pure. You must not talk about her behind her back in the future. Not only can you not talk about her, but you can't let others either.
talk!"
Li Mu stood up straight and solemnly said: "I obey!"
He usually called Sister Mei longer than Sister Mei, but it was not in vain. She finally gave Li Mu a sideways answer to satisfy his desire for gossip.
A clean and pure person solved Li Mu's doubts.
When the fire of Bagua was extinguished, Li Mu saw Zhang Chun standing at the door of the side hall and asked: "Sir, would you like to eat a pear? This pear is very sweet. It is a tribute pear gifted by His Majesty..."
Zhang Chun came out and asked, "What did you do? Why did your Majesty suddenly reward you?"
Li Mu said: "I haven't done anything. Maybe there are too many tribute pears in Jiangyin County, and His Majesty can't eat them all by himself..."
Hearing this, Zhang Chun glanced at Li Mu and wanted to spit at him.
Even if His Majesty couldn't finish all the tribute pears and wanted to reward the officials, there was no reason to ignore his dignified Shendu order and reward the head catcher of Shendu Yamen.
What's more, your Majesty's reward of a house and the reward of a box of pears are two completely different things.
Because of their meritorious services, many people were rewarded with houses by His Majesty.
Although the value of this box of pears is very low and not as good as an official residence, it represents the emperor's heart.
This shows that His Majesty has Li Mu in his heart. Even if he has not made any achievements, Your Majesty may think of him when he gets up, when he sleeps, when he eats...
What kind of grace is this?
Zhang Chun took a pear, took a bite, and said, "What a tribute pear, it's so sour!"
He bit the pear in his mouth, grabbed two more from the box with both hands, and walked away.
Xiaobai gnawed on the pear and said, "This pear is obviously very sweet, not sour at all..."
Li Mudao: "Maybe he happened to pick a sour one..."
He waved to Wang Wu at the door and said: "This is the tribute pear rewarded by your Majesty, take it and share it with the brothers..."
A mere box of tribute pears is a powerful tool to win people's hearts. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he can win over a wave of people's hearts for himself and Her Majesty the Queen.
Lord Mei is right. Many people in the public have criticized the process of the Queen's succession to the throne. Even the officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a large part of them, cannot bear to see a woman as the emperor.
Li Mu said to the people summoned by Wang Wu: "After eating, go out on patrol. If you find any criminal behavior and you can't deal with it, come to me..."
The detectives each received the pears and said to Li Mu: "Thank you, boss!"
Li Mu waved his hand: "This is your Majesty's reward. If you want to thank you, thank Your Majesty..."
Royal Palace.
Changle Hall.
In the void inside the hall, there is a picture flowing quietly.
The young female officer snorted coldly and said, "This man is rude to His Majesty again. Why don't we take him into the inner guard and teach him a lesson!"
Lord Mei came in from outside the palace, saw the scene of Shendu Yamen on the screen, and heard the words of the young female officer. He already realized what had happened and said: "Your Majesty, although Li Mu spoke a little presumptuously, he
I am absolutely loyal to Your Majesty, I protect Your Majesty at all times, and I think of Your Majesty..."
The young female officer said with a cold face: "If I don't teach him a lesson this time, I don't know what words he will say to offend Your Majesty in the future."
The queen looked calm and didn't seem angry at all. She just said: "Mei Wei, give him another box of tribute pears tomorrow."
Master Mei bowed and said: "I obey the order."
The young female officer said angrily: "Your Majesty..."
"Your Majesty, we will retreat first."
Lord Mei took her hand and pulled her out of the palace. The young female officer threw her hand away and said dissatisfied: "He is disrespectful to His Majesty, why do you always protect him?"
Lord Mei said to her: "If Your Majesty wants to deal with him, he will deal with it himself, and we will leave it alone..."
The young female officer showed dissatisfaction and said: "What's so good about him? He's disrespectful to His Majesty. You protected him, and Your Majesty tolerated him so much. Not only did he reward him with His Majesty's favorite tribute pear, but he also used Xuanguang Technique to look at him...
…”
Her chest was heaving, and she was obviously very angry. It was difficult for her to accept all this for her who believed in Her Majesty the Queen.
"Shh..." Master Mei made a silence gesture to her and said through the voice: "It is precisely because he is disrespectful to His Majesty that Your Majesty treats him differently from others."
The young female officer frowned, obviously not understanding what she meant.
Lord Mei sent a message and explained: "You are still young, and you don't understand some things. You are too cold at a high place. Your Majesty is in that position, including us. Everyone respects her and fears her. After a long time, your Majesty will get tired.
Sometimes, what she needs is someone who doesn't respect her..."
The young female official said: "What kind of nonsense are you talking about?"
Lord Mei shook her head and said: "Her Majesty did not want to sit in this position. She is far more lonely than we thought. She will only show one side in front of us, but in fact, she hides the side.
This is the real her..."
…
Li Mu walked out of the government office, looked up at the sky, and scratched his head inexplicably.
From just now, he had a strange feeling, as if someone was watching him from the dark.
This feeling came and went. Li Mu searched for it for a long time, but could not find the source.
If this happens, either he has an illusion, or the person peeping at him has a much higher level of cultivation than him and has used high-level magical powers such as Xuanguang Technique.
The latter is unlikely. Li Mu has a jade pendant given to him by the Queen, which can isolate the secrets of heaven, shield the calculations of transcendent practitioners, and also block the prying eyes of the mysterious light technique.
After leaving Duya, this feeling completely disappeared.
He took Xiaobai to inspect the lower office. At night, while sitting cross-legged on the bed to practice, he suddenly felt sleepy.
Li Mu had experienced this unwarranted feeling of sleepiness several times and already knew what would happen next.
Sure enough, after a burst of mist appeared in front of his eyes, the woman's figure appeared in front of Li Mu.
She stretched out her hands, and a whip appeared in her hand, a whip that Li Mu had not seen for a long time.
Li Mu's eyelids twitched, his expression changed drastically, and he immediately asked: "What do you want to do?"
The woman said calmly: "It's nothing, I just want to discuss with you..."
Any kind of sparring is clearly a unilateral ravage. Li Mu quickly stretched out his hand and said: "Stop, even if you want to sparring, you don't have to use force. We can talk..."
The woman glanced at him and asked, "What kind of grammar?"
Li Mu thought for a while and asked, "Can you play Go?"
The woman said: "You know a little bit about the rules."
Li Mu closed his eyes and meditated. There was a stone table and two stone chairs in front of them. There was a chessboard carved on the stone table and chess sets beside the chessboard.
Li Mu picked up a black stone, placed it on the corner of the chessboard, and immediately said: "It's your turn."
In the dream, Li Mu couldn't beat her, so he could only make a quick decision and make Wenbi's decision for her.
Although Li Mu's Go skills are not very high, it is still very easy for him to torture a rookie who knows a little about the rules.
The woman glanced at Li Mu, picked up the white letter, and dropped it somewhere else.
Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief, suspecting that today was her special day every month. Fortunately, he was quick-witted and made quick decisions to avoid being ravaged by her.
After a while, the woman said one word and said to Li Mu: "You lose."
Li Mu looked at the chessboard blankly, and then realized that what she said she knew a little about the rules didn't mean the same thing as what he understood.
The woman looked at him, shook her head and said: "Wen Shu is not interesting, let's do martial arts."
"etc!"
Li Mu stretched out his hand again and said: "One game can't explain anything. We win two out of three games..."
He closed his eyes and concentrated. The chessboard on the table suddenly changed, and the world of Chu, He and Han appeared.
The woman looked at the strange chess board and asked, "What kind of chess is this?"
"Chess." There is no chess in this world. Li Mu smiled and said, "If you don't know how, I can teach you..."
This woman learned very quickly. Li Mu just told her the rules of chess once, and she was able to play in a decent manner.
Of course, after twenty moves, she lost to Li Mu.
Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief, clasped his fists and said, "Admit it, admit it..."
Without raising her head, the woman rearranged the chess pieces and said, "Come again."
Although it was a bit shameless to use his strengths to attack her weaknesses, in order not to be ravaged, Li Mu could only be shameless once.
This time, the woman got down very slowly. After walking more than thirty steps, Li Mu frowned.
He didn't expect that the opponent would learn so quickly. If he continued like this, he might lose this round...
He picked up a chess piece, thought about it for a moment, and then took one of her pieces.
The woman glanced at him and asked, "Why can your pawn take two steps?"
Li Mu explained: "Don't you know, this stroke is an elite stroke and can walk two steps."
The woman said nothing and continued playing chess.
Li Mu picked up the chess pieces and captured another one of hers.
The woman frowned and said, "Why does your horse go to the "eye" but not to the "sun"?"
Li Mu explained: "This is just a thousand-mile horse that can travel."
The woman stopped talking and moved the chess pieces again.
Li Mu's car took a turn and took her shot. She looked up at Li Mu and asked, "Why doesn't your car go in a straight line?"
Li Mu smiled and asked, "Isn't it common sense that a carriage can turn?"
The woman was silent for a moment, stretched out her hand, and the whip appeared again.
She stood up, looked at Li Mu, and said, "Show your weapons..."
