127. Chapter 127

Jinjiang Literature City welcomes you "General Li!"

Liu Yong called him.—Because he became the General of the Central Army a few days ago, the soldier changed his words to call him this.

Li Mu straightened up and turned to look at Liu Yong who was running towards him.

Liu Yong was an orphan who came from the north and worked as a soldier to make a living. After a war a few years ago, when he was clearing the battlefield, he was picked up by Li Mu, who was only a hundred people at the time, from the pile of dead people. After surviving, he followed him.

"General Li! Someone wants to see you!"

Liu Yong shouted at the top of his voice.

Others are like monkey spirits, with great strength, and they grow two scree legs. It is with these two legs that they can survive in chaos many times. At this moment, they are rarely out of breath.

"It's that person! The eldest son of the Lu family!"

Liu Yong finally ran to Li Mu, stopped, panted, pointed his fingers behind him, and kept gesturing.

Li Mu turned his head and looked over.

Facing the setting sun, a tall young man was strode towards this direction. The afterglow of the setting sun dyed his whole body a faint golden color, and the wild wind in the field blew the corner of his clothes. His expression was solemn, and he came straight, getting closer and closer, and finally stopped in front of him.

"Li Huben, a certain Lu Jianzhi, came here with a liberty, but he had something to say. Can you ask Li Huben for advice?"

His eyes were straight at Li Mu, his tone was calm, but deep inside his eyes, there was a suppressed, profound and faint anger hidden.

Although he did not have too many expressions, even Liu Yong seemed to have noticed this.

He glanced at his boss uneasyly, and looked back and slowly retreated a little while turning back.

Li Mu put down the bristle brush in his hand, washed his hands, stood up and stared at him, and smiled: "I dare not take it. Mr. Lu has something to say, please tell me."

"Li Huben, why do you want to marry my husband's daughter?"

Lu Jianzhi asked.

"You are now famous because of your military merits. You can take this opportunity to make a better relationship than all parties. The future is like a fish in water. Your future is limitless. Why do you want to take the blame for the world? Would you rather be able to repay the favor and seek the power of the enemy, and not be willing to offend Gao and our Lu family at the same time?"

"Do you think your boss, Xu Situ, is he really helping you? He is just using you as a chess piece to insult me, Lu and Gao, and to separate from the two families. He reaps profits!"

He paused slightly.

"If you commit crimes against Gao, Lu, do you think Xu Situ can protect you for the rest of your life? Besides, I am not criticizing others behind my back. You commit crimes against Gao, Lu, and Lu, will only be able to rely on Xu's breath in the future. With Xu Situ's mind, he is not a person who tolerate others. Since he regards you as a chess piece, he will use it in the future or abandon it all depends on his thoughts. I think you are also a hero. Are you really willing to cut off your own way out?"

Li Mu smiled: "Thank you, Mr. Lu, respect me. I don't know what your son wants to do this trip?"

"I heard that because you insisted on marrying Gao's daughter, Gao Gong was forced to test you on Double Ninth Festival."

"What do you want to take back this thought? Don't make things difficult for the Gao family?"

After a moment of silence, Lu Jianzhi stared at Li Mu and asked.

The bloody setting sun at the distant mountain peak suddenly fell completely. The sky suddenly turned gray. The light in the wilderness suddenly darkened.

In the distance, there was a loud noise of crows returning to the nest.

The evening breeze made the two men's clothes surging.

Li Mu's face seemed to be covered with a faint gloom as the light news.

This made his expression suddenly look a little more indifferent.

"I dare not say that my daughter of Gao and I have been in love, but I have known each other for many years and know each other's feelings. In my eyes, I have long regarded her as a wife who has not passed away. I asked you just now, why did you ask for marriage to her, but you should not. If I expected it, either for profit or for love. If it is profit, as I said just now, it is better to make a family than your kindness to Gao, and the benefits you can get in the future will be far greater than you can imagine today, let alone the situation you may face after the two families of Lu!"

"Li Huben, the wind is strong and powerful, but it can destroy the big trees. I don't threaten you. Even if you really become Gao's son-in-law as you wish, you will be evil from the Gao family and forced into your marriage. I don't need to say that if you are a smart person, you can think of it."

"If you were out of admiration, you insisted on fighting with me..."

He glanced at Li Mu and strengthened his tone.

"I hope you, and I should consider it more carefully. My friend from Lu and Kam does not value family status, but only depends on character. But there are differences between scholars and common people, as if they are separated by heaven, and it is also a situation that cannot be broken. You and I are deeply trapped in it, and no one can transcend. As for marriage, it is even more so. I don't despise you, but if you really out of admiration, you should consider her more. She has never met you, let alone the intercourse between you. Have you ever thought about what she would do when she learns this? Not to mention, if she is really forced to marry you, the various inconveniences she may face in the future..."

Lu Jianzhi hesitated for a while and finally spoke:

"It's fine! If she marry into a commoner, it would be a great humiliation in the eyes of others. Li Huben, even if you are admiring her, where do you want to put her? How can she still be as calm as before for the rest of her life with her old relatives and friends as before?"

"Li Huben, don't blame me for saying this to this point. But whether it is in the mood or reason, whether what I say is reasonable or not, you should make a judgment."

"She is ignorant of the world and has a pure and kind heart. I can't imagine how she would deal with herself if she faced such a situation in the future?"

"I sincerely hope that you will fulfill her, as well as you will fulfill yourself."

After Lu Jianzhi finished speaking, he bowed to Li Mu to the end, then stood up and stared at Li Mu tightly.

When he spoke, Li Mu never said a word.

The sky was getting darker quickly and the wild wind became more and more intense.

His eyes seemed to be stained with a gloomy color between the world after the sunset fell, but the expression on his face seemed to be calmer.

"I dare not accept such a great gift from Mr. Lu. Every word that Mr. Lu said is reasonable. But Mr. Lu doesn't know that in my eyes, Li Mu, there is no such word as "fulfilling". If I fulfill my own people, who can fulfill me?"

"Gao Luo God, since I asked for marriage, I would not give up halfway. Good fortune and misfortune are known, heaven and earth know, but you and I don't know. On the Double Ninth Festival, it will be clear."

He returned a greeting, turned around, and continued to wash the black mane's bristle.

Lu Jianzhi looked at him, frowned, suddenly turned around and left, and his back quickly disappeared into the twilight as thick as fog.

"General Li, what are he looking for you just now?"

"Is it because of the daughter of Gao Xianggong?

Liu Yong, who had been peeping not far away, ran over quickly and asked curiously.

Everyone knows the army. In two days, on the Double Ninth Festival, Gao Gong will take the school entrance exam to marry Li Mu.

Everyone is looking forward to it, and there have been some discussions these days.

After finishing the last piece of horse body, Li Mu got up, threw the reins to Liu Yong, and smiled: "It's dark, come back."

...

The day before the Double Ninth Festival, not only were they temporarily stationed in the military camp outside the city, but almost all the people in Jiankang City were circulating a news like a chicken blood.

Lu Jianzhi, the eldest son of the Lu family, took the initiative to ask for a competition with Li Mu on the day of Double Ninth Festival.

The winner is the son-in-law of the Gao family.

The location of the two people in the Gaoxianggong Examination School is located on Fuzhou Mountain in the north of the city. At that time, the public can't help but watch it, which can be regarded as a dispute over the school selection of a son-in-law.

One is an outstanding child from the later generation of the gentry. He is not only literary and elegant, but also has outstanding military achievements. He can be said to be a versatile talent in civil and military affairs and a hero of the world.

One is a young officer who was born into a commoner and became famous in the Jiangbei War. He was respected and supported by thousands of soldiers in the army. He is the most popular figure recently.

For a long time, all the emotions accumulated by the confrontation between scholars and common people seemed to have completely exploded because of this incident.

The weather is beautiful, and on the Double Ninth Festival, the autumn is clear and cool. Before the sky was dawn, the foot of Zhoushan Mountain came to watch the battle one after another. As more and more people gradually began to discuss, guessing who would win, and some even took the opportunity to set up a bet, and the side who won the winning side could win the money. There were many participants.

The sky gradually became brighter. Before the hour of the lunar month, the deserted and deserted foot of Zhoushan was already crowded by the people watching the battle. Everyone looked forward to the arrival of the moment when Gao Xianggong took the entrance exam to choose a son-in-law.

At the time of Si, accompanied by a majestic sound of enlightenment, Emperor Xingping also left the palace. He rode a carriage and finally appeared under the ceremonial guards and guards.

The people knelt on their way to greet them.

Gao Qiao, Lu Guang, Xu Mi and others all followed along on foot.

In order to meet the Double Ninth Festival, today's school examination location is also located in the famous climbing place in the northern suburbs of Zhoushan.

An observation deck on the hillside was originally built for those nobles in the city who liked to travel around the mountains and rivers for a rest. Today it was changed to a judge's seat. Felt robes were laid on the floor and several cases were set up on it. The middle case was the emperor's seat, and the two sides were in sequence, followed by the seats of Gao Qiao, Xu Mi, Lu Guang and others.

Gao Qiao's expression became extremely solemn from behind. Lu Guang sat near him. After taking his seat, he stared at Xu Mi opposite him, with a sneer on his lips.

Xu Bi was in a good mood and chatted and laughed with a colleague nearby until a servant leaned over to his ear and whispered: "Situ, most of the gambling games at the foot of the mountain are the winners of Mr. Lu."

Xu Bi's smile disappeared, he looked at the dense heads at the foot of the mountain, and snorted from his nose.
