But he said that Li Mu rushed out of the courtyard gate with excitement, stepped on the red dragon, and ran all the way to the outside of Muzhi Village, and even Aunt Zhang who was passing by didn't see it.

It wasn't until he was a mile outside Muzhi Village that Li Mu reined in the red dragon, turned over and dismounted, and laughed a few times in the sky. shouted loudly: My daughter-in-law is Diao Chan.

After a long while, Li Mu finally calmed down the excitement in his heart, and couldn't help but think, if he really married Diao Chan, would the historical trajectory no longer develop in the direction he was familiar with because of the butterfly effect?

Li Mu immediately interrupted his thoughts, all along, didn't he sympathize with the tragic experiences of Xi Shi, Zhaojun, and Diao Chan?

The rise and fall of the world, how can it simply be pinned on a woman's body?

The husband should have a far-sighted ambition, stand on the ground, do his best, and stabilize the country. Moreover, he and Diao Chan are in love with each other, and naturally share weal and woe, share weal and woe, and never give up.

Li Mu made a promise in his heart: no matter whether history will change or not, how it will change. No matter whether the road ahead is Longtan Tiger's Lair, or the rain of guns and swords, he will not abandon Diao Chan, he Li Mu loves the country and loves the beauty more.

Li Mu said to himself again: Li Mu, go down, go to a place you have never been to before.

Thinking about these clearly, Li Mu stepped onto the red dragon again and walked towards Diao Chan's house.

Besides, Diao Chan and the Yang family watched Li Mu go out, and then watched Li Mu ride away, and they were puzzled. Diao Chan just wanted to chase him out to have a look, but he saw Aunt Zhang walking in with a smile.

Diao Chan asked in a coquettish voice, "Aunt Zhang, have you seen Li Mu?" ”

"I saw it, I rode a big red horse and walked out of the village, and I didn't even pay attention to it." Aunt Zhang said with a smile.

Diao Chan was shocked in his heart and said, "He didn't say goodbye, why did he leave?" ”

Yang patted Diao Chan's shoulder and said with a smile: "Xiu'er, don't worry. Presumably, Dingguo went to the village for convenience, and he came back after a while. ”

As soon as Yang's words fell, Aunt Zhang asked curiously, "Who is Dingguo?" Yang smiled and told Aunt Zhang what had just happened.

Aunt Zhang looked at Diao Chan and quipped: "Xiu'er, my aunt said that Gongzi Li would come today." I don't know which girl didn't forgive Li Gongzi yesterday, but I haven't seen her for a while today, so I thought about it? ”

Diao Chan said with a crimson face: "Auntie, stop teasing Xiu'er." Subsequently, Diao Chan and Yang invited Aunt Zhang to sit in the house.

Aunt Zhang looked at the large and small gifts on the table, and said with a smile: "This Li Gongzi is really hearted, he brought so many things for the first time." ”

Yang replied: "Dingguo, this kid does have a heart. ”

Just when the three of Diao Chan were chatting hotly, Li Mu walked in, coughed dryly, and said, "Auntie, Chan'er, let you wait for a long time." Li Mu saw that Aunt Zhang was also there, and said with a smile: "The eldest sister is also coming to visit?" ”

Aunt Zhang listened to this, smiled vigorously, and said after a while: "Li Gongzi, Xiu'er calls me aunt, you call me eldest sister, this..."

Li Mu immediately replied: "Hello Aunt Zhang, you can also call me Dingguo in the future." Aunt Zhang smiled and agreed.

Aunt Zhang smiled again and said, "Dingguo, what gifts did you bring to your future mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who have not passed the door?" Take it apart and let Aunt Zhang take a look.

"It's all worthless stuff." Li Mu said with a smile.

Li Mu smiled and opened a few packages, five or six pieces of cloth of various colors, a pair of jade bracelets, a hosta, and a few boxes of rouge gouache.

Diao Chan and Yang looked at the jade bracelet and hosta that were crystal clear and brightly colored, and felt that Li Mu's gift was too valuable.

Aunt Zhang nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Dingguo really took a lot of effort. Ah Yue, Xiu'er, do you say? ”

Diao Chan's face was crimson, and he didn't answer.

Yang said with a smile: "Dingguo, it must have cost a lot of money to buy these things, you can come, Aunt and Xiu'er are already very happy." ”

Li Mu said with a smile: "Auntie, it didn't cost much, this is Dingguo's heart, and I hope you and Cicada can accept it." ”

Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "Ah Yue, this is your future son-in-law's intention, accept it." ”

Diao Chan felt that his cheeks were hot, and Yang said with a smile: "Dingguo, this time my aunt will accept it first, and I can't bring such a valuable gift next time." ”

Li Mu also smiled and agreed. Just kidding, to see the future mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who have not passed through the door, can you not bring expensive gifts?

Now Li Mu has already let go of Aunt Zhang of the Yang family, and he is not afraid of being abrupt or something. I saw that Li Mu walked to Diao Chan's side, took off the dragon and phoenix jade pendant from his neck and put it on Diao Chan, and said with a gentle expression: "Cicada, the dragon and phoenix jade pendant will be yours in the future, and it cannot be returned to me." ”

Diao Chan nodded and said softly: "Ah Mu, Cicada remembers." ”

Li Mu took the hosta and jade bracelet and put them on Diao Chan. Li Mu took a closer look at the sable cicada, and said with a low smile: "The cicada is so beautiful!" ”

Diao Chan's face turned red and pinched Li Mu's waist. Yang and Aunt Zhang naturally made fun of Diao Chan, and Diao Chan's face was crimson.

Yang proposed that the two families have dinner at their house at noon, and Aunt Zhang readily agreed, turned around and called Zhang Cheng's father and son over. After a while, Aunt Zhang's family came with a chicken, and Zhang Cheng helped kill the chicken, so he sat down and talked to Li Mukan. In about half an hour, Yang's mother and daughter and Aunt Zhang prepared a table of meals, and Li Mu naturally helped serve the dishes.

When everyone had almost eaten, Zhang Cheng toasted Li Mu with a glass of wine and said, "Dingguo, after this tiger slaughter conference, your reputation will soon spread." I wonder what you plan to do in the future? I have a bit of a way to go to the official house in Yuanping County, if I want to go, it shouldn't be difficult for me to walk around. In this way, if you marry Xiu'er in the future, your life will be guaranteed. Yang and Aunt Zhang naturally persuaded him.

Seeing that Li Mu didn't answer, Diao Chan knew in his heart that Li Muzhi was not here, so he said softly: "Ah Mu, don't worry about Cicada, no matter what you have planned, Cicada will support you." ”

Li Mu's heart was moved, and then he said: "I want to join the army." ”

As soon as Li Mu's voice fell, Yang said with a worried face: "Dingguo, it is very dangerous to fight in the army, Xiu'er and her father died on the battlefield." ”

Li Mu didn't answer, just drank silently.

After a while, Diao Chan raised his head, looked at Li Mu, and said in a firm tone: "Ah Mu, a good man, you should aim in all directions and make contributions." I won't waste all your skills. ”

Li Mu saw Diao Chan endure the heartache and reluctantly said words of relief, and his heart was already a vast ocean.

Li Mu said slowly: "Cicada, thank you for your support. The two of us agreed in advance that if anything happens to me, you can't risk your life and come looking for me like you did at General Ridge. You still have an aunt to take care of, find a reliable person to marry, and you don't have to wait for me. ”

"Amu...... Cicadas except for you...... No one will marry! Chan'er doesn't marry, but she can take care of her mother. Diao Chan had long been unable to cry and said with a sob.

Everyone listened to the conversation between Li Mu and Diao Chan, and their hearts were sad.

Li Mu raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears on Diao Chan's face, and said with a firm expression: "I, Li Mu, even beat a tiger to death, and the people who can kill me in this world are afraid that they have not yet been born." I still have to wait for the triumphant return to marry the cicada. I promised the cicada that I would do it. ”

Diao Chan nodded. When they heard this, their hearts were a little calmer.

Suddenly, Zhang Wei stood up, looked at Li Mu and said, "Brother Li, can you teach Zhang Wei martial arts?" ”

Li Mudang heard it himself, and asked again, "What's your name?" ”

Zhang Wei glanced at Li Mu and replied, "My name is Zhang Wei, and I am thirteen years old this year. ”

Li Mu was stunned in his heart, Zhang Wei, in history, a famous general in the late Shu and Han dynasties during the Three Kingdoms period, both civil and military, and a general. But Zhang Wei is a native of Ba County, Yizhou, how can he be in the state, is it just the same name and surname?

Li Mu looked at Zhang Cheng and asked, "Uncle Zhang, I don't know where your ancestors are?" ”

Zhang Cheng replied: "My ancestor is a native of Ba County, Yizhou, and he came to Bingzhou with his father ten years ago. ”

Li Mu can be sure that this Zhang Wei is the famous general in the late Shu Han period, but he didn't expect that this famous person of the Three Kingdoms would already be by his side.

Li Mu was overjoyed at the moment, and said with a smile: "Learning martial arts can strengthen the body, punish evil and promote good, I, Li Mu, am willing to teach you." Of course, only learning martial arts is the courage of a horseman, and the art of war must also be learned. ”

When Zhang Wei heard this, he was naturally very happy, and he wanted to do the apprenticeship ceremony.

Li Mu said: "You and I are peers, don't care about these red tapes. ”

Subsequently, Li Mu wrote down the 13 articles of the method of strengthening the body, the method of breaking the marksmanship, the dragon sword technique, and the art of war on paper and handed it to Zhang Wei, so that he could study and practice hard and not be wasted.
