Chapter 116 Chapter 116(1/2)
"Langjun, do you want to be slave?"
Suddenly, a woman's voice came from behind, tender and gentle, as if to the bone.
Li Mu was stunned, suddenly, his body was full of blood and heat.
I was really drunk tonight. Otherwise, why would even her voice suddenly appear in my ears?
He turned around suddenly, and saw a woman walking out of the river beach, graceful and graceful.
The moonlight shone out the delicate face that had entered his night countless times and had a dream disturbed his mind.
The God of Luo, by the water, suddenly came into his eyes!
His pupils suddenly opened to the maximum - this is the most instinctive reaction when a person suddenly saw his beloved thing.
Her smile was full of smiles, standing by the water, and her eyes also fell on him.
Li Mufang stood out from the water, with his legs naked, standing in it, and the water surface reached his thigh. He was wet all over, and a layer of shiny water light appeared. His body was majestic and his texture was clear. Under each piece of undulating muscle exposed outside, it seemed that he was hiding a terrifying huge force that could burst out at any time.
Under the moonlight, his whole body looked like a statue of a god of war that was admired from top to bottom.
Her eyes stopped on him for a moment, and a faint wisp of smoke appeared faintly. She couldn't help but fall from his face, along his chest, waist and abdomen, and finally settled down.
But in a moment, Li Mu's eyes shrank and a moment ago, the glamour in his eyes that was suddenly seen by seeing the thing he loved disappeared without a trace.
His eyes instantly turned cold, his face was expressionless, facing the eyes of the woman on the shore, waded onto the water, picked up the clothes that had just been placed on the beach stone, put them back, turned around, and said coldly: "Murong Zhe?"
The woman was stunned, and finally withdrew her gaze from him, turned to her senses, and she looked as usual, smiled and nodded: "I thought I could at least lie to you to say a few more words."
This time, the voice has changed and has returned to her original voice. Its tone is intimate, as if the two are close, and they have always been so familiar.
Li Mu said: "Take off your face!" He spoke in a cold tone and gave a commanding tone.
Murong Zhe gently touched his face, but not only refused to go, but instead approached him, with his eyes soft and charming, and looked over: "Governor Li, don't you think that I look no different from your wife at this moment? I have worked so hard. In this moonlit night, since you miss others, I will pretend to show you, wouldn't it be right?"
Li Mu narrowed his eyes slightly, and a gloomy light suddenly flashed through his eyes. With a slight move of his hand, he drew his sword out of the sheath. The sword tip flashed and cut it towards the face of the woman opposite.
"court death."
His voice is simple and short, without hearing anger, without any emotion.
Murong Zhe didn't expect that he would kill him as soon as he moved. He was shocked and hurriedly dodged, leaning back with all his might. He had barely avoided the sword that was coming towards him, but he still felt a chill in his face and his forehead was cut off by the sword's edge and fell down.
She immediately remembered the scene when he forcibly slain his brother in the wasteland near Yicheng that day. She couldn't help but feel scared. Her face makeup could not cover up the pale face. Before the man could get the second sword, she quickly stepped back: "Forget it! I'll take it off now!" After that, she hurried to the water, leaned over and squatted down, scooped water, cleaned her face, quickly washed off her face, restored her original face, stood up, and smiled reluctantly: "Governor Li, are you satisfied with this?"
The moonlight shines on a beautiful woman's face in a wet pale color.
Li Mu collected his sword and returned to the sheath.
"What are you doing?" His tone returned to normal.
Murong Zhe did not dare to tease him anymore and said seriously: "I came here on the order of my uncle, Emperor Dayan, to send you a letter to Governor Li."
Not long ago, when Li Mu was working hard to regain Longxi, Murong Xi, who had previously escaped back to Longcheng, defeated the Rouran people, completely controlled Xiaoguan, and eliminated several nearby forces. A few days ago, he fought with Beixia and won, pushing his territory to Shuozhou and Youzhou, and then rebuilt Yan State in Yan County and proclaimed himself emperor.
The large northern border area north of Youzhou has almost all fallen into the hands of Murong.
She took out a letter from her arms, held it with both hands, and handed it over.
Li Mu did not answer and said, "I have never had any contact with the Xianbei people. What's the matter with him?"
Seeing that he did not accept the letter, Murong Zhe slowly took it back and calmed down, saying, "My uncle has long heard of the name of Governor Li. Previously, Governor Li took down Chang'an, and his uncle said that Longxi would soon be the governor. As expected, today's event is complete, and it is a happy congratulation."
Li Mu said nothing.
Murong Zhe paused.
"Governor Li must have known that my uncle defeated Rouran and had rebuilt Yan State in Yan County. My uncle knew that after Governor Li pacified Longxi, he would take Luoyang. To be honest, my Great Yan was bound to win Luoyang. In fact, my Xianbei clan was too humiliated by the Jie people. Taking Luoyang and restoring the country's hatred was the only vow of the people of Murong He clan. At all costs, even if he was torn to pieces, he would still fulfill his vow!"
"When two tigers fight, there will be one injury. My uncle is a hero who cherishes heroes against Governor Li, and he really doesn't want to be enemies with you. The wealth of Guanzhong is coveted by everyone in the world. My uncle originally intended to seize Longxi, but since Governor Li has taken the lead, his uncle also fulfilled it. Governor Li, Longxi's potential and fertile fields are now under your control. You are called the Governor of the Southern Dynasty, what is the difference between you and the King? Why not just establish yourself as an emperor in Chang'an? From now on, the world is the only one who is the most powerful in the world? Even if you have the intention, you will be able to replace him in the future!"
She looked at Li Mu, her eyes shining.
"Governor Li, the meaning of my uncle's letter is that he is willing to make a covenant with you. Today, you occupy Chang'an, and my Dayan wants Luoyang to fulfill his long-cherished wish. In the future, we will use Tongguan and Huai River as the boundary, and each will establish his own career and have nothing to do with each other."
"My uncle said that as long as you agree, he will keep his oath and be willing to make a bloody alliance with Governor Li, and will never break his promise. If you are determined to go to the entire Southern Dynasty, if you have any needs, my Dayan will also help you."
"It's me, Murong Zhe..."
She slowly leaned towards Li Mu, and her voice turned soft and charming again.
"Although I am useless, I can do something. If Governor Li needs me, I can stay. No matter what, I can use it for you..."
Her voice gradually became weaker, and her towering breasts were slightly undulating, staring at him with anticipation, her eyes unblinking.
Li Mu looked at the Xianbei woman with noble blood in front of him who was trying to lobby him for a moment, and was silent for a moment, slowly holding the corners of his lips, revealing a smile-like expression.
"Hu and Han are not in harmony."
"Not to mention Luoyang, it is today's Youshuo, which has been in China since ancient times."
His lips pursed and his smile disappeared.
"Princess Murong, go back and tell your tribe members to go back to the place of your ancestors. Anyone who covets my Han land and breaks my territory is my enemy Li Mu. When I am alive, I will exorcise them one by one, without exception."
The look of expectation in Murong Zhe's eyes slowly disappeared.
"Governor Li, you took Tongguan before, but later because Longxi is unstable, you retreated to Chang'an. Now that you have taken Longxi, your next intention is to advance eastward and take Tongguan twice to attract Luoyang."
"I lived in the Southern Dynasty for a while. As far as I know, in the Yu Kingdom today, not to mention the powerful, even the royal family has long lost the desire to return to the hometown of the north. Everyone enjoys their own interests and the world is at peace. This is also a common sense. Who in the world does not survive for their own benefit? My uncle's original intention is to make friends with you, and everyone takes whatever they want, wouldn't it be best?"
"Your reputation in the Southern Dynasties is already at its peak. The battle of Chang'an alone is enough to make you not deteriorate in the hearts of the Han people. I really can't understand why you must fight with me, Dayan, and fight for Luoyang again? Now that you have such a good opportunity, why don't you become king?"
She stared at Li Mu without blinking her eyes.
"Governor Li, I, Murong Zhe, have never been convinced in my life. In my eyes, the men in the world are as cheap as pigs and dogs. I respect you alone as a man. I would like to advise you that when you are more successful in the future, even if you still treat yourself as a minister, others may not be able to tolerate you. I hope you think twice."
Li Mu smiled faintly.
"The Southern Dynasty royal family is not a good person, but you, the Xianbei Murong family, are you, a villain? No need to say more. This place is next to my camp, and you can't leave. You go."
Murong Zhe's beautiful eyes showed infinite disappointment.
This princess in Yan State, who was sought after by men from countless tribes, looked at the Han man in front of him. Seeing his deep face and indifferent tone, she still felt scared when she remembered the sword just now. She didn't dare to use the unfavorable means of the man who had been beside him in front of him. Finally, she looked at him, and had no choice but to put away the letter slowly, turned around and left step by step.
Li Mu stared at her back and suddenly said, "Stop."
Murong Zhe immediately stopped and turned around quickly, with a look of expectation in his eyes.
"Only this time, I will miss you for the first time, so I will spare you. If you dare to show your wife to others next time, and put it in my hands, I will never forgive you."
Li Mu's tone was very calm, but the intimidation in his words came to his face.
Murong Zhe's face changed slightly, he lowered his eyes, said softly, "I know," and then quickly walked away, and his figure quickly disappeared into the night.
Li Mu returned to the camp, entered the tent, lay down on his back, opened the Book of Songs, turned it on his face, closed his eyes in a faint ink breath that lingered in his nose, and fell into meditation.
Half a month ago, when he was still using troops to completely eliminate the Xianbei forces on the land of Longxi, he received news that a major change occurred in the Southern Dynasty. King Xiao Daocheng of Xin'an was dead, and the court banned the Tianshi Sect again. Not only that, he also ordered the arrest of the sect Wu Cang. Unexpectedly, Wu Cang escaped, and then called his disciples to take over the disciples and acted as the king of heaven to save all the people, and to divide the land into private place to serve as bait in the future, inciting believers and openly rebel.
In the Dayu court, the gentry was in power. From top to bottom, the gentry and the powerful people who depended on the gentry widely occupied the mountains, forests and fields. The people with a large population had very little land to cultivate on their own, and many people could only survive on the manor. In addition, the storm and rain had been unhappy for many years, either floods or poor harvests there. Although the court had tax reductions, the people's lives were still very difficult.
The more this happens, the more popular the Tianshi Sect is, and it is widely spread in the folk mortals, with many believers. Wu Cang inspires this way, and believers are in power. Local officials, powerful gentry, and even families with a little land are regarded as hostile. They are killed, all of them are killed, their wealth is divided, and the grain warehouses set up by the court are robbed and burned, and ordinary people are forced to join. Otherwise, they will be killed on the grounds of defiance of heaven and deeds. For a while, people are panic, and rebellion swept across Wu and then spread, spreading all over the hinterland of the Southern Dynasties, with great momentum, which shocked Jiankang.
Gao Qiao has already dispatched his army and is now working hard to quell the rebellion in various places.
When Murong Xi restored the country and became emperor in Yan County, Li Mu knew his intentions.
What he wanted was more than Luoyang? From Youzhou to Luoyang, from Jizhou to Ji, and the Central Plains, weren’t they also the fat meat coveted by the Xianbei people?
After recapturing Longxi, he did intend to take advantage of the fact that the foundation of Yan State was not stable and advance eastward to block the Xianbei people's way of going south.
But he was a little worried about the situation in the Southern Dynasty.
Many things in this life are different from what he knows before.
For example, Xiao Daocheng died so early on that mysterious night of palace transformation.
But in the dark, there are some things that seem to be destined to be still alive.
For example, this rebellion of the Tianshi Sect.
He remembered that the last time the rebellion of the Tianshi Sect seemed to be due to King Xin'an trying to establish a new religion. And, if I remember correctly, the accident should have been born at the end of this year, not now.
But that's how it was, I was born early.
He remembered that Luo Shen's parents, Gao Qiao and the eldest princess, had died in this culprit in the past.
At that time, he had not yet entered the power center of Jiankang and did not know much about the detailed experience. He only knew that at that time, the sectarian chaos in various places had been suppressed by Gao Qiao, and only a few remaining parties were still resisting. Then, he went to save the eldest princess who had left Jiankang for some reason and was besieged. In the end, the two died together in the siege.
Based on his intuition, such a thing should not happen again in this life. If Gao Qiao had nothing to do, with the Guangling Army's military strength, the problem would not be big, it would be just a matter of time.
This is why he was not too distracted before.
But in his heart, there is indeed another hidden worry.
He was worried about Xu Mi.
Although in his previous life, Xu Mi only took a few more years to conquer Jiankang.
But now, the situation is different. Xu Mi no longer has the chance to control the court for a long time after Gao Qiao's death.
But his ambition may not disappear.
Li Mu was worried that he would be forced by the situation like Xiao Daocheng, so he jumped out early to take action.
To be continued...
