Chapter 8: The First Entry into the Capital
Li Mu went out of Haixin City and changed into a plain clothes, as a sage realm, he can now fly at a low altitude, and returned to Qingshan Town in just one day, and before going home, he deliberately sealed his breath to make his face pale.
As soon as I got home, I went to the old lady's residence, and my grandson came back to say hello to my grandmother, Li Mu stood outside the door and shouted;
Come in, the voice of the old lady came from the house.
Li Mu walked into the house. The old lady looked up and down for a while before saying: Finally grown up, is the disease better?
Sun Er met the master of Yi Country, and delayed Sun Er's condition, although he was still weak, but he was much better than when he was a child;Li Mu bowed down and replied.
Seeing that the old lady didn't speak, she continued: The grandson is almost an adult, and he wants to go to the capital to meet his father once, and by the way, the coming-of-age ceremony will be held.
Have you decided?" said the old lady after a while.
Yes, it was decided, Li Mu replied
Okay, then let's go after next month's Festival of Lights, I'll arrange it. The old lady said
Okay, the grandson retired, and Li Mu withdrew from the room with that.
Returned to his courtyard, Li Mu sat in the courtyard with a lot of thoughts, he has been in this world for six years, all kinds of the past are hidden in his heart, he is about to go to the capital, and he will be unpredictable when he arrives in Naji, and he needs to be more careful in the future to live.
While thinking about it, a pot of wine had bottomed out, Li Mu got up and staggered back to the house to sleep. After Li Mu left, two people walked out of the shadow in the corner.
Hearing that he was going back to Beijing, the maid Dong Lin said: We are going back with him.
Looking at his body, he still hasn't been cured, then our task is completed, and the princess won't blame us when we return to the capital. The guard Canghui said.
Well, for the sake of insurance, as soon as he came back, I asked someone to send a letter back to Beijing. Don't worry, go back to sleep. Dong Lin yawned and said.
Half a month passed in a hurry, and the day before the Lantern Festival, a heavy cavalry of about 500 people came from Qingshan Town, and they stopped outside the gate of the general's hometown, without saying a word, and sat on the spot without speaking.
Li Mu came out to look at it and went back, it seems that the old lady wrote a letter to the old man, such an elite army, only the general can let them do private work.
Li Mu had nothing to do, so he found Cang Hui and Dong Lin on the street, saying that they wanted to buy some special products for Her Royal Highness the princess, and the three of them went shopping for an afternoon, bought a carriage with large bags and small bags, and asked the two of them to send them back first, and they were shopping.
Li Mu wandered to the Taoist temple, walked to the courtyard to gain a foothold, and after a while, five masked people jumped out of the courtyard, holding weapons, and killed Li Mu directly without saying a word, Li Mu stood motionless and didn't seem to know their existence, when the knife was still a foot away from Li Mu, he couldn't stab it, who dared to commit murder in my dojo, Lao Dao walked out and said.
The five people all vomited blood and flew back, lying on the ground not knowing life or death, Li Mu came over and asked, Who are you, why do you want to kill me? The leader nodded, and the other four committed suicide by taking poison.
When the man was about to commit suicide, Li Mu said: You go, go back and tell your master, I will go to him. After speaking, he walked out of the Taoist temple without looking back.
Li Mu returned home as usual, sat in the courtyard and drank, and went back to sleep after drinking, as if he had not been assassinated.
After Li Mu entered the house, Cang Hui and Dong Lin walked out: it seems that they have failed, they can't kill a single waste, and they have been raised for so long in vain. Canghui said
Let's go, we can't kill it today, and we won't be able to do it in the future, as soon as he comes into contact with the Black Armor Army, we won't be able to do it. Dong Lin said: Let's talk about it in the capital. The two also returned to their respective residences.
Early the next morning, Li Mu stood outside the door of the old lady, waited for more than an hour, and did not open the door, Li Mu could only kneel outside the door and kowtow three times, saying: Grandma take care of her body, her grandson is gone, and she went out of the yard after speaking.
Departure, after speaking, he got into the carriage, along the way Li Mu completely showed the gentleman to the fullest, and shouted to the two guards and two maids, embarrassing them by changing the law, and the commander of the black armor army also saw it in his eyes, and did not obstruct it too much, just a normal march, and finally saw the gate of the capital after a month.
Young master, we are waiting for the garrison to be outside the city, and we can't enter the city at will, so we can only send the young master here, the commander said;
Okay, you go back, I'll go back by myself," Li Mu said as he got out of the carriage. When he saw that the black armor army was gone, he said to the guards and maids, "Go back too, give the things to the princess, I will go shopping first, and go back later;
I can't go to the General's Mansion now, and if I go back, the General is not here, maybe Her Royal Highness the Princess will bully herself, so I will simply go back at night. Li Mu thought in his heart and walked to the river, it is worthy of the capital, even the scenery in the city is so beautiful, Li Mu walked along the river, walking aimlessly.
I don't know how long I walked, when I wanted to find a place to rest, I saw a long corridor connected to a water hut, very elegant, and when I got closer, I heard a melodious piano sound, and the song I played was actually "Smiling Proud Jianghu" made by myself a few days ago, and I couldn't help but laugh in my heart, this ancient information was transmitted so quickly.
Thinking about it, he walked along the corridor to the hut, and when he got closer, he was still a girl playing the piano, although he couldn't see what Zhang looked like through the veil, but he could know just by looking at his body and clothes, and he would definitely not be wrong to cut either rich or expensive.
The sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and the woman in the room said that every time she went to this place, she couldn't play, what was going on?, the woman said abruptly.
The girl tried to lower the tone, low in and high out, and it should be able to play down a little slowly, Li Mu couldn't help but say;
Whoever is outside, a person who looks like a maid walked out, who asked you to eavesdrop on my young lady playing the piano here, leave quickly, or I will call someone to pull it.
Xiaorui, don't be rude, please come in, I have something to ask him. A refreshing but slightly hoarse voice came out.
Childe please, saying that the maid opened the curtain, Li Mu walked in, looked up and couldn't take his eyes off anymore, thinking to himself Where did this girl come from, her appearance is so high, she is even better looking than the best-looking star in her previous life, and her heart, which has always been calm, also rippled.
Hmm, hearing a light hum, Li Mu reacted, hurriedly saluted, and heard the sound of the young lady's piano outside suddenly stopped, and couldn't help but speak, please forgive me for the offense, Li Mu said sincerely.
It's okay, Childe has just come to the capital, the woman asked
Yes, I just arrived today, and I met a fairy before I returned home, and it was not in vain for me to come to the capital, Li Muhan said with a smile.
Childe said with a smile, I heard Childe just say that the reason why I can't play this song is because the tone is too high?
Girl, you might as well give it a try as I said, Li Mu returned
The woman played it according to what Li Mu said, and it really played it very smoothly, and she was overjoyed, and her smile bloomed like a flower, and she was stunned by Li Mu.
Childe is also a person who learns the piano, and his piano skills must be good, can you please ask Childe to stroke the piano, we can become bosom friends, the woman said
Eh, in this way, then it will be ugly, Li Mu said humbly, but he thought in his heart, he was worried about how to talk to a woman, who knew that it was sent to the door.
The woman stood up as she spoke, made way for Li Mu, and sat aside, only to find that the woman was pale and breathing was a little difficult when Li Mu passed by the woman, and she should also have a long-term illness. It seems that the woman is just like herself.
Li Mu sat down calmly and began to play the piano, thinking in his heart that since he liked it in his heart, he had to express it, this capital is so big, and he didn't know when he would see him again;
The beautiful movement came out of the piano sound, and as the prelude to the piano ended, Li Mu opened his mouth and sang:
There are beautiful women, and they will never forget it. I don't see it for a day, and I think like crazy.
The phoenix soars, seeking the phoenix from all over the world. Helpless beauty, not on the east wall.
The piano will be used as a substitute for the language, and the conversation will be heartfelt. When I see Xu Xi one day, comfort me and wander.
I am willing to match virtue and join hands. I shall not fly away, and I shall be destroyed.
At the end of the song, the sound of the piano echoed among the three of them, and the woman's pale face also had some red rhyme, obviously hearing the admiration in Li Muqin's voice.
Everyone, before they spoke, the bold disciple actually bullied my sister here, a coquettish shout came in, followed by a red dress and a slapp, not to mention Li Mu is palm, Li Mu did not react and flew in the palm, smashed under the window, the woman in red still stepped forward to continue to beat, was stopped by the woman:
Li Qiuchan's subordinates showed mercy, misunderstanding, the woman in red stopped, speaking of such a man, why do you want me to stop, the barbaric lady of the official family was vividly expressed by her.
The woman didn't say a word, and ordered the maid to pick Li Mu up, and said Xiaorui, let's go, and walked out of the house after speaking, Li Mugang wanted to chase but was stopped by the woman in red, don't be delusional to have anything to do with her, you don't deserve it, and you are ready to leave after speaking. But the girl wants to go home?
Li Mu's question made Li Qiucian confused, what are you doing? Do you want this girl to beat you? Li Qiuchan glared at Li Mu angrily.
I want to ask my sister to take me with me when I leave, I didn't know my family when I first arrived in the capital, Li Qiuchan looked at him suspiciously, who is your sister, be careful when you speak.
I am the son of Li Chong, who do you say is my sister, Li Mu pretended to be very aggrieved and said.
Li Qiuchan's eyes widened, and he looked around Li Mu, surprised: Are you Li Mu?
But no, if I hadn't recognized you in time, I might have been beaten to death by you, Li Mu said weakly.
How can you prove that you are Li Mu? Li Qiuchan continued to ask.
Li Mu took out a piece of jade pendant, which was engraved with the word Li Mu, Li Qiucian himself also had such a jade pendant, and returned it to Li Mu after reading it carefully. Why didn't you say it earlier, or I wouldn't have done so much.
My sister didn't give me a chance to speak, Li Mu said aggrievedly. Sister, do you know which girl the woman just now is? Li Mu asked.
Li Qiucian looked at Li Mu, smiled slightly and said: What's the hurry, you'll know in the future, let's go home with me, my father will come back to see you in the evening. After saying that, he walked out of the house.
