The trick is not surprising, and the most reckless horseman in the Three Kingdoms period used it. It is recorded in the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" that Cao Cao and others chased Zhao Yun to Changsaka Bridge, and the disparity in strength between the two sides was huge. Let a few soldiers around him tie the branches to the tail of the horse and run, and the dust is everywhere, simulating the scene of thousands of troops and horses. When Cao Cao and the others arrived here, they were really afraid in their hearts, and they just saw Zhang Fei's fearless shouting, and they were worried that this was Zhuge Liang's plan, so they turned around and left.

This is a plan to confuse the real with the false, and the grass and trees are all soldiers.

Li Mu took advantage of the Miao people's fear of the imperial court, and subconsciously thought that the imperial court must be wary of the Miao people, so he instructed Tang Jian to use this strategy. The Miao people would not believe that the imperial court would come over without preparation, fighting more with less, and taking risks. Since the people of the imperial court are here, there must be a lot of people, and in this subconscious, at this time, they will definitely be convinced when they see the continuous torches.

The imperial court has been prepared for a long time, and it is waiting for this day!

Revolt!

It was the first thought that popped into everyone's mind, but it was only a fleeting thought.

How to resist? The opponent is Datang! The Tang Dynasty with millions of male soldiers and stars like clouds! At that time, Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, had not yet come, but just passed on the notice, ** all over the country fell in response, why? Because I know that I can't beat it!

There are too few people in Miaojiang, not only fewer people, but also fewer iron tools, and even fewer grains and grasses. Relying on poisonous insects and miasma alone is a small path after all, and it can't become a climate.

Now that the imperial court soldiers have arrived, Miao Zhai's side, they can't be defeated even if they are ready, not to mention that they are not prepared at all, and they are caught off guard? To resist is to die, and there is no second result. The owners of Jiuxiang and Eighteen Docks, can they not panic and not be afraid?

Although they were now surrounding Li Mu, they all understood that their lives were actually in Li Mu's hands at this time.

Seeing this scene, the spokesmen of the two forces of Bai Miao and Wu Miao discussed it, but they didn't come up with any good ideas. In the end, I had to stick to the mountain gate first, and wait for Cui Yuzheng to wake up before making plans.

When Tang Jian and the others came to the mountain gate, they did not dare to attack. The Miao people don't know how many of them there are, they know it themselves. Full of counts, less than 4,000. With the people on the Spirit Snake Mountain, that is, half a catty and eight taels. But others are guarding, and their own side is attacking. With an equal number of people, it is almost impossible to win.

This battle, from the very beginning, was not intended to be fought. Therefore, after arriving at the mountain gate, Tang Jian ordered to set up camp and bury the pot to make rice. Of course, there are more than twice as many tents as there are, and although Tang Jian can't move the government soldiers, he still has the right to mobilize these materials.

The Miao people, who were responsible for guarding the mountain gate, saw that the imperial court had set up so many tents, and they were even more convinced of Fang Cai's judgment. If you don't have 10,000 or 20,000 people, how can you use so many tents? It seems that the imperial court has made up its mind this time to clean up the Miao Village.

Immediately, the fast horse returned, and the Bai and Wu factions got the news and became more and more anxious.

……

In the small courtyard, Wang Ou looked at Li Mu's eyes, which was also a little weird. Maybe Li Mu's acting was too realistic, or Tang Jian cooperated too well, and now even Wang Ou began to doubt it. Li Mu felt Wang Ou's gaze, walked over, gently took Wang Ou's hand, and pulled her into his arms. Zhen Yu next to him saw it and walked to the side silently. Before Li Mu said that the saint was his wife, Zhen Yu didn't believe it, what kind of character is the saint, how can she match a little ruffian? Later, she slowly believed a little, but there was still a hint of luck in her heart, the saint must not have anything to do with this person. Until I met the saint, the last bit of hope was shattered, and it turned out that the saint and this annoying guy were really husband and wife.

As a Miao person, she should feel angry. She should have questioned Wang Ou: You are the holy daughter of Miao Jiang, you are the wife of the sect leader, how can you have an affair with a Han person?

But as a person who knows the details, as a person who has seen Cui Yuzheng practice bloody and brutal forbidden arts, he has become a bloodthirsty demon. Zhen Yu couldn't blame Wang Ou, on the contrary, she sympathized with Wang Ou. If it were someone else, Zhen Yu would definitely bless it, but why was it Li Mu......

Zhenyu doesn't know what's wrong with her, maybe, it's just upset.

……

In the house, Cui Yuzheng finally woke up under the treatment of Dr. Miao. He opened his eyes and looked at his surroundings, roughly guessing what was going on. After listening to the report, he was silent for a long time.

The tide is over.

In Cui Yuzheng's mind, these four words came to mind. Even if he knew in his heart that the situation outside might be different from what Duo said to a certain extent, the situation was not necessarily so bad. But he didn't want to explore it anymore, because his leg was no longer possible.

His body was disabled and destined to collapse in bed. Like he had been in the past ten years, he couldn't move in bed.

What's the point of living like this?

He was ready to die.

Cui Yuzheng looked at Liang Zhu with a dull gaze, thinking in his mind what regrets he still had in his life.

Of course, there are many regrets, but in the current situation, most of them are not finished. Eliminate these, and if you can try to work hard, it will be very clear.

"Kid, show me the kid." Cui Yuzheng opened his mouth and said, carrying the child over, but instead of handing it to Cui Yuzheng, he asked: "Sect Master, the slave and maid dare to ask, where is the slave's family?" ”

Cui Yuzheng stared at his eyes, suddenly smiled, and said, "I really can't see that you have such courage." When I picked you to be by the saint's side, I took a fancy to your honesty, but I didn't expect it, but I still saw the wrong person. ”

"Master, that was ten years ago." The voice trembled: "The slave maid was only twelve years old back then, and she is already twenty-two years old this year, and the slave maid has not seen her relatives for ten years. ”

As he spoke, he burst into tears. Cui Yuzheng was stunned for a moment, if he stayed in the ordinary, he would not be moved at all. But now, he has considered himself a dead man. At this moment, it is the weakest willpower in his life, and he is easily sentimental.

"Your parents are in Wenchang County, Shuzhou, and the county government is going east, and there is a tea stall, which is run by your father, and it is easy to find." Cui Yuzheng sighed and said, "I knew that you were so bitter in my heart, I should have let you meet earlier, but in this situation, I can't stand you." ”

"Sect Master, what you said, is it true?" Domi couldn't confirm it, so she could only hope that Cui Yuzheng would give her an affirmation. Even if this affirmation is similar to a fart, she can only choose to believe it now.

"It's true." Cui Yuzheng said seriously: "I won't lie to you about this little thing." ”

"Wenchang County-" Domi muttered, a smile appeared on his face: "I still remember when I was very young, Daddy said that he wanted to open a tea stall in a crowded place, so that the life of the family would be better." Daddy's wish has really come true. It's good next to the county office, the location is good, I earn money, and my younger brother has the opportunity to study. ”

Domi was sad for a while, put the child next to Cui Yuzheng, raised her hand to wipe her eyes, and turned around and went out.

Cui Yuzheng looked at the sleeping child, this little guy was only born for a day. Maybe it's too much tossing, very tired, and sleeping soundly. Newborns are ugly, but in Cui Yuzheng's eyes, the child in front of him couldn't be more beautiful. If he could, he really wanted to take care of this child growing up. Even if he knew in his heart that this child had no blood relationship with him.

But now, both legs are broken. The same blow, the second time fell on the body. Cui Yuzheng's will has collapsed, and he has no way to face it anymore. He hesitated just now, because of this child, if he died, Wang Ou would definitely die. What will happen to this child? Who can you trust her to rest assured-

"Li Mu-" Cui Yuzheng thought about it, the only person in this world who can really take care of the child growing up can only be Li Mu. After all, he is the child's real father.

Give the child to him?

Unwilling! But then I thought about it, it's already like this, why do you have this obsession?

It's a bit like when I was in college, I didn't deal with a classmate in my dorm room, and I didn't like each other for three or four years. But one day, after graduation, when you find that there is no more intersection, this kind of unpleasantness becomes meaningless.

yes, what's the point?

Cui Yuzheng wanted to reach out and touch the child, but after hesitating for a long time, he still retracted his hand. The child is sleeping well now, and if she is woken up, she will probably cry.

Putting the child aside for the time being, Cui Yuzheng continued to think about his own affairs.

Unfinished regrets, the child is one. Miao Jiang is also one. As for the family, the gate valve, he has no regrets. What he has secretly done for the Cui family over the years is enough, and there is nothing to regret. But Miao Jiang, he felt ashamed.

The people here respect and love him. Even if he didn't do anything for them, just because he was the leader, he enjoyed this kind of honor. Looking back on the past, he really couldn't think of anything he did for Miao Jiang, something commendable, and there was not a single thing.

Now that they are determined to die, before leaving, they still have to do something for them to have peace of mind.

Cui Yuzheng looked at the sky outside, and in two hours, it would be dawn. If the imperial court really came with so many soldiers and horses, at dawn, it was the time to attack the mountain, and there would definitely be casualties at that time. Cui Yuzheng didn't want Miao Jiang to die anymore, he planned to take all the sins alone, and when he arrived at the underworld, whether it was fried or roasted, he would bear it together.

"Someone."

A brown-clothed man appeared at the door, and Cui Yuzheng said: "Go and ask Li Mu, if you dare to come alone, I have something to talk to him." ”

The man in brown was stunned for a moment, but didn't say anything, turned around and went out to speak.

……

"Luoyang Hou, the sect leader asked, do you dare to come over alone, I have something to talk to you."

Li Mu was telling Wang Ou about the events after that day in Dingxiang, and when he heard this, he immediately said: "What don't you dare, how is the child now?" ”

The brown-clothed man hesitated for a moment, but still said, "The child is fine, just by the sect leader's side." When you meet the Master, you can see it. ”

"Okay, wait a minute!" Li Mu said and said to Wang Ou: "I'll go over and see how the child is doing." Stay here and wait and see. After that, he said to Dugu Jiu, who was about to speak: "If I have anything, find a way to take your sister-in-law away." ”

"Big brother!" / "Husband! ”

Dugu Jiu and Wang Ou both wanted to stop Li Mu, but they were both blocked by him: "The child is still in his hands, if I don't go, I don't know what he will do." After speaking, Li Mu walked straight over.

The man in brown got out of the way, invited Li Mu in, and immediately blocked the door again. Li Mu entered the house, saw Dosi, saw Li Mu, staggered his gaze, Li Mu stayed on her for a while, and remembered this person in his heart.

Li Mu came to the room where Cui Yuzheng was, and saw that the daughter next to him was sleeping soundly, and his heart was relieved. Li Mu didn't get closer, he knew that things were not so simple. Cui Yuzheng asked him to talk, and there must be conditions for exchange.

He looked at Cui Yuzheng, and Cui Yuzheng was also looking at him. Cui Yuzheng's age is similar to Wang Ou, and he is older than Wang Ou. In terms of seniority and age, he is undoubtedly Li Mu's elder.

This is the first time Cui Yuzheng has seen Li Mu, Li Mu's youth is beyond his imagination.

"Are you Li Mu?"

"It's me." In the process of looking, Li Mu could already see that Cui Yuzheng's face was full of decadence. The identities of the two are awkward, there is nothing to talk about, Li Mu doesn't know what to say, Cui Yuzheng has already made a decision in his heart, but he is much more relaxed than Li Mu: "You dare to come, I really didn't expect it." After a pause, Cui Yuzheng said again: "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" ”

"If you kill me, you won't be able to live, at most one life for another." Li Mu laughed and said, "My daughter is in your hands, do I have a choice?" ”

Cui Yuzheng glanced at the sleeping child next to him, then looked at Li Mu, and said, "If I say that I don't have the heart to harm this child, do you believe it?" ”

"I believe it." Li Mu nodded and said, "It can be seen that you care about this child very much." ”

"Yes." Cui Yuzheng did not hide his importance and love for this child, and said, "So, I came to you to make a deal." ”

"You can say yes or no."

Cui Yuzheng laughed again and said, "You are really a wonderful person, then I will also say it bluntly, if you promise me three conditions, I can let Wang Ou go back with you." ”

"And the kids!"

"Nope." Cui Yuzheng immediately denied it and said, "The first condition, I want this child." ”

"Then don't talk about it, the child is my blood, and I can't give up on her."

Cui Yuzheng looked at the stubbornness on Li Mu's face, and his heart relaxed, at least Li Mu also cared about this child.
