Life in the world of film and television

Looking at Lu Hongti, who was shocked in his heart but trying to keep calm on his face, Li Mu smiled and said, "I heard that you want to kill Song Xian?"

Lu Hongti's eyes tightened: "You...you are from the government."

Li Mu laughed: "Do you think I look like him?"

Lu Hongti shook his head in confusion: "It's not like that." The person in front of him really didn't look like someone from the government. He had never heard of such an unpredictable master in the government.

"What do you want to do?"

Li Mu smiled and said, "As I said, I was also present at yesterday's fight. I see that you are good at it. Come and have a look."

Lu Hongti seemed to feel that he had no ill intentions, and said boldly: "In this case, if we don't offend the river, why do you..."

Li Mu smiled and said: "Whoever asked you to take action first, I can only take action. Don't worry, I won't send you to the official."

Lu Hongti clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Master. I was here to recuperate. When I heard someone coming in, I just... didn't mean to do anything to protect myself."

Li Mu said: "I understand. You are in a bad situation at the moment. I did act recklessly."

When Lu Hongti heard what he said, he finally felt relieved, and then thought of something: "Young master just mentioned Song Xian, do you know him?"

Li Mu shook his head: "I don't know him. I've heard some rumors about him. It is said that he used to be a gangster, but... this person has a bad reputation. It is said that he is ruthless, domineering, and will retaliate. He has even killed good people and taken credit for it before. This move has a very bad official reputation.”

"If you assassinate him, it's considered killing him!"

Lu Hongti glanced at him in surprise: "Young master, do you think Song Xian should be killed?"

Li Mu smiled and said: "Of course he should be killed. If you don't wait until you recover from your injuries, I will accompany you on another trip to get his head back."

Lu Hongti looked at Li Mu seriously: Why did the young master do this? "

Li Mu chuckled: "There are so many reasons, and he is not a good person, so you can't dislike him."

Lu Hongti was silent for a while, and then suddenly talked about her experience. The reason for assassinating Song Xian.

"Sir, my surname is Lu and my given name is Hongti. My home is west of Yanmenguan, on the other side of Luliang Mountain."

"Since the loss of the Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture, our side has been completely in chaos. The Hu people have to clear grass and grain every year, kill and loot, and do all kinds of evil. They are in fear every day, and there is no peace of mind at all."

"So everyone was like a lonely ghost, moving around in the ravines every year to avoid the barbarians. Some people wanted to go south, and some were unable to leave their homeland. Later, they organized themselves and became the Luliang Mountains that have been repeated for hundreds of years. Bandits."

Li Mu sighed: "I rejoice at the banks of the Fen River, gather together in the middle and south of Jin, and cry at the Luliang Mountains. I can't die at Yanmen Pass."

Lu Hongti looked at him twice, his eyes softened a lot, and he sighed softly for a while: "We are mixed between the Wu Dynasty and the Hu people. We are all Han people, but the Wu Dynasty army did not dare to come. On the contrary, the Hu people went south every year. , fighting with us every year.”

"After all, we are poor and weak. When we encounter a small group of Hu people, we will swarm them and hide when they encounter a large group. We are poor and short-minded, and we are short of supplies. We will inevitably plunder the passing caravans. The Han people should show some mercy and do not harm anyone's life. Hu People are not that cheap anymore. That’s how the Luliang Mountain bandits got their reputation.”

"The Wu Dynasty has not regarded us as human beings for so many years, so everyone just came here. Later, officials came to recruit people, and those who accepted the recruitment were dragged out to fight with the Hu people. Although they were given very little supplies, they could only survive and could kill the Hu people. Everyone is still willing to sacrifice their lives. Many villages that cannot survive will accept the imperial edict."

"As a result, three years ago."

At this point, her tone was a little low.

"Three years ago, Song Xian led his troops into the Luliang Mountains. He also said that he wanted to recruit people and offered good conditions. After attracting people from several nearby villages, he suddenly turned against him and started to kill people from these villages. Men, women, old and young, surrounded them all and killed them all.”

"It is said... It is said that the Liao Kingdom felt that Luliang Mountain was under their noses and could not be killed. It was too difficult. They said that these were Han people and let the Wu Kingdom handle it."

"Many generals at the border knew that Luliang Mountain was specialized in killing barbarians, so they tried to fool them. After Song Xian heard the news, he saw an opportunity for promotion. He immediately asked for orders to come to Luliang Mountain and trapped and killed several villages under the pretext of recruiting security. "Many people I know were also killed. This time when I come to Jiangning, I will kill Song Xian to avenge Luliang Mountain's father."

Li Mu sighed: "Alas! Jiangning is prosperous with singing and dancing, but in the north there are still constant wars, and the people are in dire straits."

Lu Hongti sneered and said: "Now that the Liao and Jin Dynasties are fighting for supremacy in the north, sooner or later one will win. The Wu Dynasty thought that it would be fine if they kept their heads down. They underestimated the ambitions of the barbarians."

"If we don't make preparations early, not only Bianliang in Tokyo, but also Jiangnan, where singing and dancing are flourishing, will be trampled by cavalry sooner or later. It will be too late to regret it by then. How can I know that today in Luliang Mountain is not the tomorrow of the Wu Dynasty."

Following this topic, the two chatted for a long time. Lu Hongti had been active near Luliang Mountain for a long time. He may not have a clear understanding of the overall situation of the Northland, but it also gave Li Mu another perspective, from the bottom, from the perspective of the world. , clarified the situation in the entire Northland.

It seems that the Liao and Jin are fighting, and the Wu Dynasty is sitting on a fisherman's advantage. In fact, it is sitting on a powder keg. If either Liao and Jin win, they will go south to make up for their losses with a feast.

What's more, on the grasslands at this time, nomadic peoples are also rising rapidly, and their future power will make the world fearful.

This kind of power cannot be resisted by an individual. It needs to be prepared in advance. At least it must have a basic base and its own power.

He reached out and brushed Lu Hongti's body, and Lu Hongti's strength that had disappeared returned to his body again.

Her eyes were full of curiosity: "What kind of martial arts are you using? Is it the legendary acupuncture point?"

Li Mu nodded. There is no acupuncture skill in this world. There may have been some in the past, but some legends have been left behind. No one can do it now.

As for the reason, acupuncture is not just a matter of tapping with your fingers. It requires the coordination of true energy to drive the true energy into the key acupuncture points in other people's bodies, which hinders the flow of energy and blood, making people unable to move or losing all their strength. .

A more advanced one uses infuriating energy to stimulate the laughter point to make people laugh non-stop. Use the true energy to seal the ears and nose, making people unable to hear or smell.

There are also many unique acupuncture techniques with different effects. There are so many kinds.

The premise of all this is to release the true energy to the outside. If you can't release the true energy to the outside, how can you penetrate the true energy into other people's acupoints?

According to Li Mu's understanding, no one in this world except him seems to be able to do this, so the skill of tapping acupuncture points naturally exists in name only and has gradually become a legend.

"Okay, I'll give you your sword back." With that, he returned the dagger that Lu Hong was carrying to her.

With his strength back and the dagger in his hand, Lu Hongti felt a little sense of security and felt at ease.

"Thank you!"

Li Mu chuckled: "You're welcome."

"You have to recuperate these days. The conditions here are not satisfactory. I have a small and clean courtyard. No one goes there on weekdays. I don't live there either. Do you want to stay there temporarily?"

Lu Hongti hesitated for a moment. The condition of this adobe house, which almost collapsed into ruins, was indeed very poor. Seeing Li Mu's sincere tone, he nodded: "Thank you!"

Li Mu smiled: "Okay, I'll take you there."

The courtyard was not big, and it was near the academy. Li Mu had received a lot of writing fees now, and he had no shortage of money, so he spent more than 800 yuan to buy such a quiet courtyard.

It is convenient for him to handle some personal matters, and it is also close to the academy. He can come back for a break at any time.

Lu Hongti was placed in a wing room, where pots, pans, bedding, and all kinds of daily necessities were complete. It was inconvenient for Lu Hongti to go out, so Li Mu bought a batch of ingredients and some women's clothes.

"Okay, you just stay here to recover from your injuries. When you are healed, I will take you to Song Xian's place."
