"So what?" Li Mu asked rhetorically.

"I need your help to realize my wish with me, you are not a child of a family, and you are a businessman with extraordinary ability, and you have also made meritorious achievements in the army, I believe that you can also handle general government affairs, I need talents like you around me." Xiao Jingqing invited sincerely.

"There is a mustard between you and me, especially since there is a Xiya between us, can you put it down?" Li Mu asked rhetorically.

"Since I opened this mouth with you, it means that I have let go of the mustard, I naturally understand that feelings cannot be forced, if Xiya is willing to come to me at this moment, I will still be very happy, but unfortunately her heart is in you, so I am helpless, her relationship with me does not hinder the cooperation between you and me, if I Xiao Jingqing doesn't even have this bit of open-mindedness, how can I bear the burden of seeking peace for the common people." Xiao Jingqing was honest.

"To be honest, I admire Xiao Gongzi's bearing, it's just that it's not right now, and when the time is right, I will naturally make the right choice." Li Mu didn't say anything to death.

"I believe I will be the right choice for you." Xiao Jingqing is very confident.

Zhou Xiya returned to the inn, Li Mu had already returned, and Chen was relieved when he saw Zhou Xiya, "You girl, you have to make a fuss, we will be worried."

"Uncle, I know it's wrong, but I didn't go to prison in vain this time, not only in exchange for a hundred loads of food, but also got the promise of the Cui family, and I also found a good helper, so that even if we leave Yangzhou, someone will help me keep an eye on the affairs here." Zhou Xiya grabbed Chen's shoulders and coquettishly.

"What do you mean?" Chan was puzzled.

"Did you bring your cousin over and ask her to help you?" Li Mu said.

"Yes. My cousin has promised me that she will help me keep an eye on it, and when our people encounter something that can't be solved here, you can go to her for help, she is the daughter-in-law of the Cui family after all, and she can still talk. Zhou Xiya nodded.

Chen shook his head helplessly, this girl's matter is getting bigger and bigger.

"I said you two who want to be fathers and mothers, look at you, it's a day to go out, this is the child you want to raise. Leave it to us. Is there a father like you? At this time, Bai Yichuan walked out with a little doll in his arms.

At this time, the little doll was dressed up very cute, and the small clothes were too late to make, so Chen specially went to buy it and was dressed up by Chen's skillful hands. It's like a doll coming out of a painting. Nice tight.

"It's hard work for my uncle and aunt. I'll hug you, come Xian'er, daddy hug. "Li Mu's face is very thick-skinned. directly regarded himself as the child's father.

Zhou Xiya stood aside and smiled, holding the little doll's hand and teasing the child.

"Don't call your father and mother first, wait until you can take on the responsibility of raising children." Chan's disgruntled reminder.

"Okay, leave them alone, they are all big children, they know what they are doing, besides, who is born to be parents, it just so happens that they can learn first, and when they get married and have their own children, they will have experience." Bai Yichuan took his wife away.

The wife is a knife-mouthed tofu heart, and it's not that I'm worried about Xiaoya being talked about, but in fact, what outsiders say doesn't matter, as long as Xiaoya and Li Mu are happy, what do you do so much.

"I'm not done yet, what are you pulling me for?" In the distance, Chen's voice complaining about Bai Yichuan was heard.

Zhou Xiya and Li Mu looked at each other and smiled, and the child in her arms seemed to feel their good mood and laughed along.

Three days later, Li Mu and his party set off to continue walking towards the capital.

"The weather doesn't seem to be good today, and it may rain at noon." Chan glanced out the window at the weather.

"It's a little bad." Zhou Xiya nodded.

"I know that the weather is bad, you kid is still in a hurry, and we are not in a hurry to return to the capital, why are you in such a hurry." Chen coaxed the little doll in his arms.

"There's no way, in order to hide from people, I have to leave quickly, if we bump together, it will be too embarrassing." Zhou Xiya spread her hands, she had no choice, in order not to run into Xiao Jingqing and them, she had to leave after finishing her work.

"Hehe," Chen smiled unkindly.

"Uncle" Zhou Xiya was annoyed and angry.

"Okay, okay, aunt won't laugh at you, to be honest, my aunt really wants to see what kind of character this Xiao Jingqing is, so discerning to our Xiaoya, Xiao Jingqing in the south and Dugu Jin in the north, the two of them are very famous, they are the best young talents in Dayan, they can look at Xiaoya, it means that our Xiaoya is very good, how can my aunt not be happy." Chen looked at Zhou Xiya, looking proud of the fact that my family has a girl who has just grown up.

"Auntie, I'm dying of distress, and you still have the heart to see my jokes." Zhou Xiya turned her head.

"Uncle is not a joke, but happy, since I was a child, your uncle and I have treated you as our own children, watching you grow up little by little, and now seeing that you are going to get married, we are both happy and reluctant, just like ordinary parents, we have a woman in our family Wanjiaqiu, which means that Xiaoya is excellent, so that we can help you choose a good family, and in the future, you will be with your husband Qin Se and Ming, but you, a girl with an assertive person, directly brought Li Mu to us, so that we have less chance to choose a son-in-law for you, Don't we be allowed to be depressed and depressed? Chen pretended to be sad and said.

"Auntie...... Are you dissatisfied with Li Mu? If you are not satisfied, I will immediately replace him, how about choosing the one that satisfies you? Zhou Xiya naturally saw that her aunt was pretending, so she also cooperated and said flatteringly.

"Are you willing?" Chan asked rhetorically.

"If my aunt is willing, I will be willing" Zhou Xiya replied seriously.

"You girl, just take my army, I know that I am reluctant to make you sad, how can I force you to do what you don't want to do, fortunately, you have a good eye, Li Mu satisfies me with everything, so my aunt will not do things like beating mandarin ducks, if you really choose a bad person, my aunt can really do it." Chen's eyes are full of love for her children, and she would rather let Xiaoya complain about herself than have a bad life for Xiaoya in the future.

"Aunt" Zhou Xiya snuggled on Chen's shoulder.

Chan patted her on the head. There was warmth in the carriage.

The road in the south of the Yangtze River turns nine turns and eighteen turns, there are many mountains and many rivers, the road is very narrow in some places, this side is a high mountain, the other side is the county cliff, fall down is the abyss, the road is not easy to walk very.

At this time, a group of people were in ambush in a mountain pass, and a man ran from the direction from which Zhou Xiya and they came, and came to the ambush place, "People are about to arrive, let the brothers prepare." ”

The leader nodded. Whispered "Brothers, prepare"

At this time, a middle-aged man came over: "General Wang." You are the main force, and after our palace, you must get rid of Li Mu, as for the others. The master said not to commit iniquity. ”

"Okay," General Wang agreed. This is still from the Xiao family. would be so useless, and he actually hid behind, if it weren't for the fact that the eldest son of the Xiao family was the son-in-law of his uncle. He won't wade into the troubled waters this time, and the Wang family won't get much benefit from this time, and the Xiao family hasn't taken the big head.

Soon Li Mu and their convoy came into the sight of the ambushers, and seeing that the other party was carrying many guards, General Wang waved his hand, and the soldiers he brought raised their bows and arrows, ready to shoot.

When it came to the firing range, General Wang gave an order, "Shoot arrows"

Looking at the oncoming rain of arrows, Li Mu's guards shouted "Dodge, there is an ambush"

Li Muyu's guards were all well-trained people, and they quickly evaded with carriages and other objects, they did not carry many bows and arrows, and they would only be beaten passively when defending with arrows, and they could only attack the enemy after being close to each other.

Li Mu stood by the carriage and swung the arrow under his crotch with his sword.

"What's going on?" Zhou Xiya's head came out of the carriage.

"Go back quickly, there is an enemy ambush, protect yourself" Li Mu pushed Zhou Xiya's head back.

"Boss, this time the person who came is not good" Li Mu's guard leader walked over, he came out of the army and was directly recruited by Li Mu.

"I can see it, the attack is moderate, and I can also set up an ambush with bows and arrows, and the personnel are neat, and at a glance, the army is coming out." Li Mu frowned, what kind of person wanted to get rid of him, and he would actually mobilize people in the army to deal with him.

"It's just that you can't tell it's a soldier there, and you can know if you catch it alive." The leader of the guard said.

"How many people were hurt?" Li Mu asked.

"I didn't hurt a few, but I was frightened and didn't guard against the arrow, but I didn't hurt the vital point, and I can still fight, we have more than 30 people now, we should be able to resist for a while, boss, I will take my brothers to resist in a while, you and Miss They will go first." The Commander of the Guards confesses.

"I, Li Mu, don't have the habit of leaving my brothers, I want to go together, they really think that these hundred and eighty people can clean us up, and they look down on us too much, give me a hard beating, with my special martial arts. device? Li Mu looked at the person opposite and smiled fiercely, how could he go out without something to protect himself, just let the other party try the power of his weapon.

"Okay, I'll send it down." There was a hint of excitement on the face of the guard commander, when the boss tested before, he had seen Nawu. The power of the instrument.

"Prepare to resist, they are coming" Li Mu shouted, it is estimated that those people saw that the rain of arrows could not hurt many people, so they hurriedly rushed over directly.

The two sides fought together, Li Muhe's guards and the Zhou family's guards were all elite soldiers, and the experienced people who came down from the battlefield were naturally not afraid of such an occasion. And he went up to him.

"I'm going to help" Zhou Xiya wanted to get out of the carriage.

"Don't go, what if you get hurt?" Chen grabbed Zhou Xiya.

"I'm fine, there are so many people outside, I can help some, aunt, don't forget that I also went to the battlefield with my father, this scene won't scare me." Zhou Xiya got out of the carriage and attacked the enemy with her own sword, the enemy was more than her own people, and many people fought three or four in a row, which was very difficult.

"Retreat" Li Mu saw Zhou Xiya run out of the carriage, killed the person who was fighting Zhou Xiya with a sword, and pulled her back.

At this time, Chen had also been pulled out of the carriage by Bai Yichuan, and the road here was very narrow, and if it was very unsafe to be in the carriage again, the horse would be easily frightened.

The people on Li Mu's side fought and retreated, and the guards resisted at the front.

"Kill...... Get rid of Li Mu and reward the platinum" General Wang saw that the other party's resistance was so stubborn, and directly ordered to stimulate the attack of the soldiers.

"Kill, ......" The soldier was stimulated by the money and rushed bravely.

"Throw" Li Mu shouted, the guard commander and several guards threw out an object, landed in the crowd of the other party, and exploded, and the other party's people fell to a piece, screaming continuously.

"Evacuate...... Stop the pursuit" to see if the other side has a weapon that they don't know. General Wang decisively stopped the pursuit.

"Don't stop, stop and run." The people of the Xiao family hurriedly said.

"The other party's Wu. The lethality of the weapon is very great, and to rush up now is to send the soldiers to death, and to rush at your people. General Wang said impatiently, more than 20 people died in this way, if all of them died, how would he explain when he went back, after all, he brought soldiers out privately, and what he was most afraid of was that kind of martial arts. hurt yourself.

"You ......" the people of the Xiao family pointed angrily at each other.

"They can't have so many martial arts. Don't let them run, how do you go back and explain, don't forget your mission. The Xiao family endured this tone and persuaded.

"Chasing ...... Hold it from afar, don't let the other party run away" General Wang finally gave the order, he was also ordered by the head of the family, he must take down Li Mu's head, it's all here, if the task is not completed, and so many people have died, it is not easy to explain when he goes back, without the support of the head of the family, how can he continue to be promoted.

"Li Mu, the other party has caught up, you still have that kind of martial arts. Hurry up and throw it out? Zhou Xiya asked hurriedly.

Li Mu waved his hand, and the guards threw out a few more, and more than a dozen people died on the other side.

"Throw it again, they'll come around again."

"No, I've brought these, and they already know about this thing. The power of the explosion, as long as it is dispersed, is useless. Li Mu can't help it, he really didn't bring so many people, these things were just hoping to eliminate some of the other party's living forces and dissipate their confidence, what he really had to do was to fight in close quarters.

"Take your uncle and them first, let your family's guards escort you first, and I will lead people to resist behind." Li Mu confessed.

"I'm not leaving, I'm going to be with you." Zhou Xiya grabbed Li Mu's arm tightly.

"Obedient, go quickly, I can handle it here, it's not so easy for them to arrest me" Li Mu pushed Zhou Xiya.

"I won't go, if I take people away, you will have about 20 people left, how to deal with so many people on the other side, we stay, the two sides are almost evenly matched, we have a chance of winning, you are the man I chose, except that I leave you, you can't get rid of me." Zhou Xiya said her experiment domineeringly, husband and wife were originally birds in the same forest, and the sentence of flying separately when disaster came didn't work for her.

"Hahaha...... Good...... is worthy of being my Li Mu's woman, then I will let you see my Li Mu's ability, brothers, face the enemy head-on, kill......" Li Mu led people to rush over and break the enemy's siege.

The two sides fought together, Zhou Xiya and a few guards protected this person who didn't know martial arts, the two sides had already killed red eyes, Zhou Xiya saw Li Mu being besieged and injured, but he couldn't help him, and his heart ached together. (To be continued......)
