"Maybe I said, forget it, get busy."

Li Mu waved his hand, and the eldest grandson Chong retreated and left. Li Mu frowned and pondered for a while, found a horse, and went straight to Chang'an City.

In the past few days, one thing after another, there is no time to even take a breath, and Li Mu can't remember when Dugu Jiu has not seen anyone. He vaguely remembered that he had seen it on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, but he didn't seem to have said a few words, and then he never saw anyone again.

And the next day was the day when he married Li Zhien. It's really hard not to connect the two things, which makes Li Mu a little worried.

Dugu Jiu is very strange, and sometimes Li Mu doesn't know what's going on with him.

Although his voice is like that of a girl, his style of acting is not at all like that of a woman. The work is crisp and neat, not muddy at all, and there is a very rigid side to the character.

But when a beautiful woman appeared next to Li Mu, he would behave like jealousy. This made Li Mu feel very strange and confused.

Li Mu once thought about whether Dugu Jiu's personality was a little distorted because of his voice, and he regarded himself as a woman and liked a man. But after observation, Li Mu found that this was not the case, Dugu Jiu was a very normal man, but he was a little inexplicably possessive.

This should have something to do with the environment in which he grew up, and because of his unique voice, he has never had many friends. and because of the forced marriage at home, he rebelled and rejected women. As for the two people who appeared in his life and can really be called friends, himself and Li Chongyi, he showed great concern and cherished it very much. It's just that he can't distinguish the boundaries of various feelings, so he confuses himself and confuses others.

Li Mu thinks so.

I can't say anything about this kind of thing. Especially between two men, it would seem very strange to talk about this kind of topic. Therefore, Li Mu has always avoided talking to Dugu Jiu, but chose to use guidance to let him have his own things to do, so he held the Jianghu Ranger Ring Competition, so that Dugu Jiu can pay energy on the things he likes and save himself from crankiness.

But when Dugu Jiu really did this, Li Mu felt as if there was an empty space around him, and he began to miss it.

Thinking of Dugu Jiu, Li Mu thought of Li Chongyi again. Counting the days, it has been almost two months since the eldest man left, and in the past two months, except for the news that Ma Zhou brought back when he came back, there was no news.

If you don't worry, it must be a lie.

For Li Chongyi, Li Mu has a special sense of responsibility. Because this kid has no relatives in the world, only he is a big brother. He is only fifteen years old, although he looks tall and big, in fact, there is no city, and everything he does is what Li Mu asked him to do, and he did it.

Li Mu was very afraid that his words would harm this kid's life. Just go to Zhenla, if you succeed in getting back the rice seeds, it's fine, if you meet mountain and forest bandits on the road - it seems to be okay, how big a group of bandits can be the opponent of five hundred brocade guards.

I'm afraid that the further south I go, the more miasma there will be, and I will not adapt to the water and soil, and I will get sick......

Thinking of this, Li Mu was very upset. Someone recognized him on the road, but he ignored him, didn't say anything all the way, and arrived at Jingdong for more than half an hour. Passing through the bazaar, he came to the school field near the east city wall, far away, he heard the sound of whirring and drinking, which was completely different from the scene he saw last time, this time he saw these young masters, he had almost lost his breath, and instead of being uniform, the order was forbidden, even if he saw Li Mu coming, no one turned his eyes over, they all looked ahead, and they didn't dare to move.

When he got closer, Li Mu saw it clearly, and saw that there were several whip marks on everyone's faces, and some of them were still very fresh, as if they had just been smoked.

Cheng Chu silently shouted the trumpet, saw Li Mu coming, and motioned for everyone to stop.

"Master Hou, you're here."

Li Mu said with a smile: "You and I are equal to each other, you don't need to be honorific, just call me by my name - Brother Cheng, I will leave for Dingxiang tomorrow, and I am still meticulously completing the training today, I am really a model for my Tang Dynasty soldiers, worthy of admiration, worthy of learning!" ”

Cheng Chumo smiled humbly and said, "Actually, there is nothing to train now, everyone is acting very well." I'm here today, mainly to say goodbye to everyone, and I'm going to invite everyone to heaven and earth for a meal later. ”

Is it so harmonious?

Li Mu glanced at the whip marks on Fang Mu's beloved face, Cheng Chumo followed Li Mu's line of sight, understood his doubts, and whispered in Li Mu's ear: "I didn't beat it, it's-"

Before he finished speaking, Li Mu saw that Cheng Chumo suddenly closed his mouth, and Fang Yiai and the others, who had finally rested for a while, also straightened their backs and stood up straight. At the same time, Li Mu only heard that there seemed to be a gust of wind blowing behind him, and before he could react, there were two more people in front of him, one of whom was Dugu Jiu, and the other, Li Mu didn't recognize, the sharp-beaked monkey had a hooked nose, and he didn't look like a good person.

The two stood still, Dugu Jiu's face was only slightly ruddy, and he was not panting. And this hooked nose seemed to be motion sickness, his eyes were blank, he stood and shook, he was panting for breath, he retched for a while, and his face was gray and bloodless.

"Big brother, you're here."

Dugu Jiu greeted him as usual, and he couldn't see the slightest difference. Li Mu looked at him like this, and didn't mention anything else, pointed to the hooked nose in front of him, and said, "What is this for?" ”

"He said he was good at light work 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 spoke, the 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, most likely because Dugu Jiu heard that this person was good at light work, so he had to pull others to compete.

Li Mu smiled, didn't care, looked at the hooked nose, and asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Back to the words of the Hou Ye, villain Wei Fu."

"Ah, I remember." When Li Mu heard this name, he remembered this person. That day, in order to hype up the ring competition, he made up sects and nicknames for these rangers, this surname was Wei, and he was good at light skills, so he named it "Green Winged Bat King".

"It turned out to be the Blue Winged Bat King in person, disrespectful and disrespectful."

The Blue Winged Bat King hurriedly bowed down and said: "Hou Ye has tormented the villain, how dare the villain be called 'king', Hou Ye's false praise, the villain has not dared to mention it once." ”

"The rivers and lakes are nicknamed, naturally we have to say that it is a little bigger, otherwise how can we control the factory? To tell you the truth, I am also the head of a faction, and I am the founder of the Carefree faction. Everyone is a son and daughter of the rivers and lakes, so there is no need to be too restrained. Li Mu appeased, then asked Dugu Jiu, and said, "Xiao Jiu, I was about to ask you, what about those people who participated in the ring competition a few days ago?" Where is it now? ”

"They all live in the artisan's workshop, and all the defeated are there, sixty-four in all."

"Have you recorded the kung fu that everyone is good at?"

Dugu Jiu nodded, none of these people's kung fu surpassed his, and no number of roads could hide from his eyes.

Li Mu looked at the "Blue Winged Bat King" and said, "Can the Bat King rest?" If you have a good rest, please go and tell my brothers that I will treat them in heaven and earth, let them come over to eat and drink, and at the same time, I will also give an explanation to the big guy according to the promise in advance. ”

"The villain is rested, let's go."

The Blue-winged Bat King took a deep breath, tapped his toes on the ground, and flew a few feet away. The fact was happening right in front of his eyes, and Li Mu's eyes were about to pop out. If this kind of kung fu is passed on to a thousand years later, what kind of high jump, long jump, pole vault, sprint hurdle marathon, won't the gold medal be grabbed?

Looking at the back of the Blue Winged Bat King, Li Mu was envious for a while, and said, "Xiao Jiu'er, when can I run so fast - I don't need to be so fast, just half of it." ”

"Big brother, this is not practiced, talent is needed, among a thousand people, there may not be a talented person, you better don't think about it."

Li Mubai glanced at him and said, "You have talent, but I don't?" Lao Tzu's chosen person, talented, can do anything, you wait, I will definitely be able to practice. ”

Dugu Jiu snorted, looked too lazy to quarrel, and twisted his head to the side.

Li Muyuguang caught a glimpse of Fang Yiai and the others, and when he saw them sighing in unison, he couldn't help but feel funny in his heart, everyone is the same age, as for being afraid of this?

"Okay, let's stop here today, let's pack up and go to heaven and earth together. You go first, and when you arrive, you will say that I am a treat, and you can order whatever you like, Benhou is famous for having a lot of money, so you don't need to save me money. It's just one thing, don't make noise, if you disturb the emperor, you won't be able to eat and walk around! ”

"Yes!"

Dozens of young men shouted in unison, which frightened Li Mu for a moment, and quickly waved his hand, Cheng Chu silently shouted the trumpet, and the team turned into a column and marched along the street to heaven and earth.

Watching the team run away, Li Mu patted Dugu Jiu's shoulder and said, "Are you kid deliberately avoiding me?" ”

"Nope." Dugu Jiu looked at Li Mu as if nothing had happened, and said, "On the day you got married, I was still drinking there and talking to my sister-in-law, but I didn't bother you when I saw that you were busy." ”

Li Mu furrowed his brows and said, "Why haven't you seen you for two days, but the outside world has risen?" Do you and my brother have to say this? ”

Dugu Jiu was silent for a while, and said, "Big brother, I'm ...... I don't know how to say it, but I know that you are right, and I should have my own things to do, like a big man, and share your worries instead of annoying you-"

Li Mu opened his mouth and was about to speak, but Dugu Jiu said again: "Now I think it's very good, big brother, you see, how well I have trained these gentlemen, can I share your worries?" ”

"Alas......" Li Muxin said, sharing worries is worrying, these young masters are unlucky, it is estimated that they must have a shadow in their hearts. Li Mu had something to say, but it slipped to his lips, and he didn't know where to start, so after thinking about it, he patted Dugu Jiu's shoulder and said, "Let's go, go to the account to get some money, don't go empty-handed...... Huh? Xiao Jiu, what do you think of Li Yourong? You see that Siwen is now a relative, and the two of them have nothing to do, if you marry Li Yourong, you will be the master of the horse. Emperor Taishang values Li Yourong a lot, and you also know that when the time comes, he will enjoy endless glory and wealth-"

"Big brother, if you don't have anything to talk about, it's okay not to talk."

"What is this called, I'm your eldest brother, I said this because I was worried about you, if you don't like her, how about Wei Yingluo? Wei Zheng's daughter, although her family is poor, is a good match, and she is not wronged. ”

"Big brother, go by yourself, I'll go first."

Dugu Jiu removed Li Mu's arm on his shoulder, moved his way, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

……

Wang Ou accompanied Li Mu back to the city after breakfast, first went to Jingdongji's shop to look at the accounts, and then went back to the mansion next to heaven and earth. Li Mu doesn't live in Jingdongji anymore, and she doesn't need to stay in Jingdongji's shop anymore, although it is a bit of a waste, but this money is just a small amount for her, so she won't take it to heart.

After bathing, after changing his clothes, Wang Ou came to the private room on the second floor of 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 good memories. The scenes of Li Muzuo's "Will Enter the Wine" and "Qingping Tune" seem to be just yesterday. It's just that in recent times, Li Mu has rarely come to heaven and earth, and he has some regrets.

Wang Ou has a tranquil temperament, and when he is usually fine, he also likes to compose poems, just for fun. Occasionally, I splash ink to paint one or two paintings, which are also the best choice, worthy of the name of a talented woman. It's just that she doesn't socialize with others, and no one has the honor to see and know about her talents.

Wang Ou was painting a peony, suddenly heard a noisy sound, the pen in his hand had just been stained with ink, was disturbed, a drop of ink dripped on the rice paper, and a good painting was ruined. This is the painting she planned to hang in the small courtyard of the valley, in her own room, and it was ruined like this, and her mood was suddenly very bad, and she wanted to invite poisonous snakes and poison these noisy people to relieve her hatred.

Wang Ou raised his eyebrows and said unhappily: "Who is noisy?" ”

The maid came in and whispered back, "Miss Hui's words are the people who participated in the ring competition a few days ago, and they said that the Hou Ye was a treat." I just saw Wei Fu, is Miss going to call him over for questioning? ”

"Is that them?"

Wang Ou put down the pen, pondered for a while, and said, "No need, there are many people now, if people see it, it is difficult to explain." I'm not in a hurry to let Wei Fu come to see me tomorrow. ”

"Yes." The maid retreated.

Wang Ou replaced the rice paper on the table, replaced a pen, and drew this peony picture again.

arranging people around Li Mu is to help Li Mu, and also for other purposes. Wang Ou herself is also in turmoil, she wants to maintain the purity of this relationship, but things in this world often backfire, and she is no exception.
