Wife is an enemy general

001.

Zhong Xiuyuan tightly grabbed Li Mu's wrist and hid him behind him. At this moment, he did not hide the turbulent possessive desire in his heart at all.

Li Mu is his!

He doesn't need to be the great general who is admired and admired by tens of thousands of people, he can abandon his great military achievements, he can even take off his armor and just follow Li Mu in this mountain, and be an honest farmer with his back to the sky and his face to the loess .

But only Li Mu, he will never let go!

Only this point, he will never compromise!

The three people who were talking were all taken aback by Zhong Xiuyuan's sudden actions, especially Li Xiaoxuan and Gong Yinyin. Facing Zhong Xiuyuan's bursting momentum, their faces turned pale, and a layer of Vigorous sweat.

If it wasn't because their hands and feet were already cold at this moment, I'm afraid they would have already fled in embarrassment.

Li Mu stood behind Zhong Xiuyuan, he didn't see the expression on Zhong Xiuyuan's face at the moment, but he also felt the suddenly strange atmosphere.

Li Mu took a step to the side, side by side with Zhong Xiuyuan.

He looked at Li Xiaoxuan and Gong Yinyin in front of him, and said, "I can't help you with this matter. If you really don't want to go on like this, the best way is to find a way to resist yourself. If you don't want to find a way to resist yourself, are there any outsiders?" There is a way to help you."

Poor people have their own hatred, this sentence has always had its truth.

Li Mu didn't hate Li Xiaoxuan, nor did he hate Gong Yinyin, and he never thought of seeing the jokes between the two, let alone gloated at their current situation.

But let him reach out to help them just because of Li Xiaoxuan's few words, Li Mu can't do it.

If he has a lot of money, it's fine to help out with this matter, it's just a matter of a few taels of money, but now he can't protect himself.

People are selfish, and he is no exception.

If he just reached out to help the two of them at a critical moment, Li Mu didn't think he would hesitate, but if he was asked to take the initiative to participate in this matter, he really wasn't that great.

Seeing that Li Muyi had made up her mind and would not waver in the slightest, Li Xiaoxuan's face turned pale again.

Gong Yinyin next to her looked at her mother with tears in her eyes, "Mother..."

Even if Li Xiaoxuan had no idea, she, a nine-year-old doll, naturally had no idea.

Li Mu sighed silently when he saw the two of them like this, and he pointed out a clear way for them again, "Even if I helped you this time, what will we do in the future? Can Zhang Shulan and Gong Guangyuan just let you go like this? "

According to the selfish personalities of Zhang Shulan and Gong Guangyuan, even if Li Mu really paid to help them this time, after two days when the wounds on the two of them healed, they would probably start to make trouble again.

Blood dissolves in water and has been raised for so many years, these are all excuses.

This kind of thing has always been difficult for officials to distinguish, so what can he do?

So in the final analysis, it still depends on what Li Xiaoxuan and Gong Yinyin think.

Li Xiaoxuan originally came to Li Mu with a desperate mood, and she was forced to have no other way to do this. Now that she heard Li Mu's words, there was a bit of lifelessness and despair in her eyes.

According to what Li Mu said, wouldn't the mother and son have no way out?

Li Xiaoxuan grinned and smiled miserably, instead of brazenly continuing to beg Li Mu, she turned around with Gong Yinyin and left in a daze.

Li Mu stared at the backs of the two leaving, and he didn't look away until the backs of the two disappeared into the forest.

That's all he said, all he could say.

If it was really just a hand at a critical moment, he would definitely reach out.But if these two people just squatted at the bottom of the pit with peace of mind, thinking that someone else would jump down and build a ladder to save them, then it would be a no-brainer.

Li Mu looked at the two of them, and watched them go away, but Zhong Xiuyuan, who stood aside and looked at Li Mu, felt a thump in his heart, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Could it be that Li Mu really likes that little girl doll?

That little girl is just a yellow-haired girl, not to mention her body has not grown up, her face, even if it grows up, it is probably the same, it will definitely not look good.

Zhong Xiuyuan tightly gripped Li Mu's wrist, not wanting to let go.

Although there were thousands of reluctances in his heart, he still couldn't help comparing himself with women.He felt that no matter how long the girl was, she would definitely not be worth one ten-thousandth of his own.

Apart from not being a woman, he would not lose to that girl in any way.

Thinking about it this way, Zhong Xiuyuan's heart became more and more sour and uneasy. Could it be that Li Mu really wanted to buy the doll back to be his wife?

"You like her that much?" Zhong Xiuyuan opened his mouth.

What he said, even he himself smelled sour, but now he didn't care about it, he just stared at Li Mu with two eyes, wanting to see Li Mu's every move in his eyes.

"Huh?" Li Mu, who was thinking about Li Xiaoxuan and Gong Yinyin's affairs, didn't hear clearly.

Zhong Xiuyuan saw Li Mu looking back at him, but didn't speak again, he already believed in his heart that Li Mu had moved that crooked mind.

Thinking about this, Zhong Xiuyuan couldn't help eating.

Li Mu kept saying that she was his daughter-in-law, and now he is still alive and well, why is this person so philandering?

Li Mu didn't notice it, and looked up at the weather.

After Li Xiaoxuan made such a fuss, it was already half an afternoon. Counting the time, it was about time for him to go to the trap in the mountain to have a look.

"You can watch the ducks here for a while, and drive them back later. I'll go to the mountain inside." Li Mu said and was about to walk up the mountain.

Seeing this, Zhong Xiuyuan quickly grabbed Li Mu and prevented him from leaving.

Li Mu went up the mountain in the same direction as Li Xiaoxuan and the others.

"I'll go too." Zhong Xiuyuan said.

Li Mu's dark eyes moved slightly, and he looked at Zhong Xiuyuan suspiciously.

Probably because they came down from the battlefield and are used to seeing people who live and die, so Zhong Xiuyuan has a similar personality to him. He is not the kind of person who talks too much on weekdays. For so long, this is Zhong Xiuyuan's number one The first time I took the initiative to pull him to say where we want to go together.

"What are you going to do? The ducks still need people to watch." Li Mu was puzzled. During this period of time, the traps in the mountains had not been collected, and he was delusional about buying some wild game to try something new.

Although he is unlucky and has hardly gained anything recently, his gluttony has not yet passed, so he runs quite diligently every day.

Zhong Xiuyuan, who rarely opened his mouth with a cheeky face, felt a little depressed when he heard Li Mu's refusal, but he said again: "I haven't seen it in the mountains yet, the ducks are fine here, they are very obedient and won't run around. of."

Li Mu looked back at the group of ducks flopping around in the pond, thought for a while, and nodded cheerfully.

Except for Zhang Shulan's family, no one in this mountain really cares about his ducks. Although many people in the village have learned from him to raise ducks, what kind of grass he forages for feed today? , but it is limited to jealousy.

According to Li Mu's previous raising method at home, the ducks were thrown directly into the mountains and no one cared about them. Except for a small amount during feeding and when they were caged at night, no one would follow them every day like this.

Li Mu led the people up the mountain, all the way to the trap set in the mountain behind him.

After more than half of the journey, Li Mu found that Zhong Xiuyuan was a little strange.

Although the two rarely have the opportunity to go up and down the mountain together like this on weekdays, but most of the time everyone goes their own way, but today Zhong Xiuyuan seems to be particularly sticky.All the way down, especially the section into the village, Zhong Xiuyuan almost walked close to his hand.

After entering the mountain, the road in the mountain was not easy to walk, and the distance between the two finally widened.

Li Mu set up a total of five traps in the mountains, all of which he learned from another member of the team when he was in the barracks. The things were limited, and the traps were not big. They only caught small things like rabbits, even wild boars couldn't catch them.

After spending about half an hour and looking through all three of the traps, Li Mu was a little disappointed.

But anyway, it wasn't once or twice that he was disappointed. Li Mu still led the people and continued to walk up the mountain.

As they were walking, the two suddenly looked in the same direction at the same time. Before Zhong Xiuyuan had time to be surprised that Li Mu would find something unusual, he saw a person walking out from the direction they were looking.

Huo Shuang, who hadn't seen him for a long time, stood in the bushes and cupped his fists at Zhong Xiuyuan, "General."

Zhong Xiuyuan, who was in a good mood because he was walking side by side with Li Mu, stopped, and after seeing Huo Shuang, his mood became gloomy.

Recently, he has been avoiding this matter, only enjoying the time alone with Li Mu, but some things cannot be avoided after all.

"I'll go up first." Li Mu pointed to the mountain.

Huo Shuang suddenly came out to find Zhong Xiuyuan at this moment, apparently he had something to say to Zhong Xiuyuan.

Zhong Xiuyuan nodded, watched Li Mu leave, and then followed Huo Shuang into the hidden bush. After a while, he saw about twenty soldiers in the forest.

"General." Seeing Zhong Xiuyuan, everyone folded their fists and knelt down.

This group of people were more or less wounded, not the group that followed Huo Shuang before, but the remaining soldiers after designing to lure Guangtu away.

"Yeah." Zhong Xiuyuan had no expression on his face, and looked at everyone coldly.

Some time ago, Huo Shuang asked for his order, suggesting a design to lure Guangtu's army away. After nearly half a month, the people of Guangtu had already diverted their attention.

"General, please return to the camp quickly." Led by Huo Shuang, everyone kneeling on the ground spoke to Zhong Xiuyuan one after another.

From the time when Zhong Xiuyuan was attacked and disappeared until now, in the past two months or nearly three months, Yuan Guo was severely injured by Daning, losing four consecutive battles.

Daning, who had been suppressed for ten years, became more and more courageous as he fought, but Yuan Guo, who was originally arrogant, lost his morale after Zhong Xiuyuan disappeared, and lost consecutive battles.

Now that Yuan Guo's defense line has been completely defeated, if Zhong Xiuyuan doesn't go back sooner, the tragedy of Yuan Guo being defeated by Daning ten years ago will repeat itself.

"Have you reported the fact that I'm still alive?" Zhong Xiuyuan didn't answer, but asked instead.

Huo Shuang was a little puzzled, but still replied: "Not yet, Daning is now closed to the country, and the news cannot be spread for the time being, but please rest assured, the general, we will report to the general that we have found the general as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Zhong Xiuyuan nodded in satisfaction.

He stepped forward and drew out Huo Shuang's long knife stuck in the ground.

The next moment, the soldier closest to Zhong Xiuyuan was decapitated.

Smelling the sudden smell of blood in the air, Zhong Xiuyuan had already killed three people in a row before everyone kneeling on the ground came back to their senses.

In the silent wilderness jungle, a cold and biting killing intent burst out from Zhong Xiuyuan's body and pointed at everyone.

The sweet smell of blood is mixed with the rotten smell of dead leaves in the woods, and as the occasional breeze spreads in the forest, it brings a restless commotion.

There are birds flying in the forest, flapping their wings and fleeing in panic.

Zhong Xiuyuan's sudden attack caught everyone off guard, and by the time everyone reacted, less than half of the twenty or so people were left.

Huo Shuang clutched his injured arm, and looked at Zhong Xiuyuan with horror, shock and confusion in his eyes, "General, you..."

Huo Shuang wanted to ask Zhong Xiuyuan why he did this, but vaguely, he seemed to understand.

Zhong Xiuyuan raised his eyes, there was no emotion in his cold and deep black eyes, only darkness and biting killing intent.

002.

Zhong Xiuyuan withdrew his gaze, and walked towards Huo Shuang step by step.

These people must die.

He endured in Yuan Guo for ten years, just looking for an opportunity to bite back, just looking for a breakthrough that could save his mother and younger brother.

But those people in Yuan Guo were extremely treacherous, they knew how important those two were to him, so they never gave him any chance.

He joined the army at the age of 13, and now he is 23 years old. During the ten years in between, he was imprisoned in the military camp, and he was always followed by the opponent's eyeliner.

And his mother and younger brother were taken into the deep palace in the name of protection, and there were a bunch of people around them at any time, and they were never allowed to leave the palace for a single step.

In ten years, he only saw his mother and his younger brother who was only three years old when he left twice.The two times were just a few encounters at the celebration banquet, and he even had time to call his mother, and he didn't even have time to hug his younger brother.

When he was attacked and separated from other people, he couldn't wait to go back to the military camp, because he couldn't abandon his mother and younger brother.

But now, he has other ideas.

He can't go back.

If he goes back, he will only repeat the mistakes of the past ten years.

If he went back and continued to be his great general, waiting for that illusory opportunity, he didn't know how many years he would have to wait.

But if he doesn't go back, if he dies, then everything will change.

Yuan Guo was losing a series of battles, so it was impossible to just let it go. They would definitely send people out to defend against the enemy. Based on his understanding of Daning's soldiers, he believed that few people in Yuan Guo could resist Daning's attack.

If Yuan Guo couldn't resist Daning's invading soldiers, then what happened ten years ago might happen again.

Ten years ago, those people could send him to the front line when he was only 13 years old, and ten years later, they could also push his 13-year-old brother to the front line.

What he was waiting for was such an opportunity.

For ten years, he has been trying his best to establish his own forces in Yuan Guo's military camp. Although his strength is not strong enough to compete with Yuan Guo, those forces do not belong to Yuan Guo, but to him.

As long as his younger brother can come out of the deep palace compound and go to the front line, he will have a chance to find a way to pull him out of the barracks.

He believed that Yuan Guo's people would not touch his younger brother.He had guarded Yuan Guo for ten years. If he died, Yuan Guo would be mourned by the whole country. Those people in Yuan Guo would not be so stupid as to let his younger brother have an accident and damage the royal reputation.

They will only think of a high-sounding excuse to push his brother to the front line.

Therefore, these people must not go back alive, and the news that he is still alive must not be passed back to Yuan Guo.

"General, please give us a reason!" Huo Shuang clutched his bleeding arm, his eyes were full of wavering.

It is precisely because he knows the things about Zhong Xiuyuan that he is so easily shaken. Perhaps because he is too young, he sometimes brings himself into Zhong Xiuyuan's situation to think about what would happen to him.

Whenever this happens, he suffers like maggots eating away at his bones.

Zhong Xiuyuan raised his hand, swung it vigorously, and flung the blood off the blade expressionlessly.

"You shouldn't have found me." Zhong Xiuyuan said coldly.

He knew that Huo Shuang was watching him, and Huo Shuang was not the first person who turned to watch him after being promoted by him.

The remaining four or five people saw that they could not win the fight with Zhong Xiuyuan, and they already had the intention of running away, but Zhong Xiuyuan was always on guard, and he didn't give anyone a chance.

When he pulled the knife out of one person again, Zhong Xiuyuan wiped the blood off his face, and looked back at the other three who were running away. Before he could catch up, one of them was already dead.

Huo Shuang killed the last two people, leaving him alone looking at Zhong Xiuyuan.

"General!" Huo Shuang knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and did not run away.

Zhong Xiuyuan walked towards him, stopped in front of him, and frowned at him.

Huo Shuang is going to surrender?

"Everyone who knows where the general is this time is already here." Huo Shuang didn't look up, but put on an appearance of being defenseless and letting Zhong Xiuyuan deal with him.

Zhong Xiuyuan didn't speak, he was thinking.

If he faked his death, then if his younger brother really went to the front line later, if he wanted to recruit people from the front line, he would have to be tipped off and cooperated with others. But is Huo Shuang trustworthy?

"General." Huo Shuang raised his face, with a painful expression on his face, "Since I was promoted by the general as a deputy general, I have received orders from above to monitor the general's every move."

After a short pause, Huo Shuang said again: "But I have never reported any unfavorable news to the general."

Huo Shuang looked straight at Zhong Xiuyuan, with sincerity in his eyes.

Zhong Xiuyuan used to be a god-like existence to him, and he was overwhelmed by Zhong Xiuyuan's strength.

When he first entered the military camp and learned that he was assigned to a camp closer to Zhong Xiu, he was so happy that he couldn't sleep all night.After being supported by Zhong Xiuyuan himself, he was so happy that he couldn't sleep for several days.

Although in such a situation, he has done a lot of things that he couldn't help himself, but this feeling of admiration is the only thing that can't be faked.

Zhong Xiuyuan didn't speak, he let the blood on the gleaming long knife slide down, he looked up the mountain, seemed to be thinking about something, and seemed to be looking at the direction Li Mu left.

After a long time, when Huo Shuang was almost unable to hold on due to excessive blood loss, Zhong Xiuyuan's cold voice came again, "From now on, there will be no such person as Zhong Xiuyuan in the world, only Li Xiuyuan."

Huo Shuang was in a complicated mood, but he responded immediately: "Yes!"

"Get out." Zhong Xiuyuan threw the knife, looked at the bloody clothes on his body expressionlessly, raised his sleeves, and began to wipe the blood on his face.

The clothes on his body belonged to Li Mu. He is very precious, but now he is stained with blood. If he doesn't wash it off quickly, he might leave marks.

After disposing of the corpse and covering up the blood, Zhong Xiuyuan found the stream in the mountain to wash off the blood, and then returned to the village at dusk.

Li Mu had good luck today. He thought he would be empty-handed again today, but he caught a wild pheasant in the last trap!

Looking at the thumping pheasant, Li Mu swallowed, and with a greedy face, he found grass and vines, tied the pheasant, and carried it home.

On the way back, he took a trip to the field to pull some condiments, which wasted some time.

When he came down from the mountain after the sunset and was about to reach the village, he happened to meet Zhong Xiuyuan whose clothes were still steaming.

Knowing that the other party didn't go to catch the ducks, the two hurried back home, preparing to put away their things and go to the pond again.

As a result, when they arrived at the door of the house, the two found that the group of ducks had somehow come back by themselves, and they were squatting in the yard with their heads curled up and dozing off.

Seeing Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan who came back, one of the ducks raised its head and lazily yelled at them twice, with a bit of disdain in its voice, as if it was despising these two people It's getting dark and I still don't know how to go home.

Realizing that he was disgusted and despised, Li Mu stared at the duck expressionlessly, then walked around the house obediently with his tail between his legs, and entered the house through the back door where there were no ducks.

Under the night, Zhong Xiuyuan looked at Li Mu's aggrieved appearance by being bullied, and turned his head to stare at the ducks squatting in the yard with the same cold gaze.

The next moment, the group of ducks all stood up obediently and made way.

Under the admiration of the ducks, Zhong Xiuyuan wagged his tail expressionlessly and entered the house from the main entrance.

Li Mu caught a pheasant on the mountain, and brought back the condiments along the way.Later, he moved a small stool and sat in the yard. When he was about to process the chickens, he saw Uncle Hong from the opposite yard, and he called out to join him in the evening.

Not long after, Uncle Hong came over to take a look, and persuaded Li Mu to take this thing down the mountain to buy, but Li Mu refused and returned home, with a pot of wine in his hand when he returned.

The days in the mountains are carefree, occasionally ordering some game, paired with some sake, and having a drink with friends in the middle of the night, that is a joy.

But today, Li Mu is destined to be unhappy.

Under the starlight at night, he was about to kill a chicken when Yang Tie and his wife came with a few people in the distance.

Seeing the white osmanthus, Li Mu quickly put down the knife.

"Auntie."

"Li Mu, come quickly." Bai Guihua hurriedly greeted Li Mu, and asked Li Mu to meet the mother and son in the past, "... Her man is also in Yang Tie's team. He went to find me before, I thought You should have known the situation and brought people here."

The mother and son had already washed up at Bai Osmanthus's place, and had a few full meals, and they looked much better now than before.

Seeing Li Mu, the mother quickly asked about her man's situation, "My man's name is Su Dayong, I wonder how he is doing now?"

Hearing the names of the mother and child, Li Mu opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.

He knew Su Dayong, he was on their team.

Like Yang Tie, he also takes good care of Li Mu, because there are two children in his family who are only a few years younger than Li Mu. Yang Tie used to joke that he raised Li Mu as his son.

Recalling the past, Li Mu couldn't help but take another look at those two children. There were two children, one girl and one boy, one big and one small. The older girl was already thirteen or fourteen years old, and the younger one seemed to be only five or six years old. age.

Both of them look a bit like Su Dayong, and they look very clever.

"He..." The mother embraced her son and daughter, Li Mu's silence reminded her of something, her eyes instantly turned red.

Although it's not that she didn't think about this possibility, she brought her two children all the way from the south to beg for food and escaped. She suffered a lot on the way, and it was this thought in her heart that supported her, but now this thought...

"Sorry." Li Mu lowered his eyes slightly, "He died on the battlefield."

Su Dayong didn't die on the battlefield, he became a deserter and died at the hands of Daning's own people.He stared in the direction of his house all the time, and wanted to go back and see the mother and son. He would not rest in peace.

It's just that, no matter what, Li Mu couldn't tell the mother and son about such a thing.

Su Dayong is not a cowardly and timid person, on the contrary, he is a very clever and affectionate person.It is precisely because of being too sympathetic and clever that he wants to take advantage of the loopholes and escape home as a deserter.

After Li Mu finished speaking, the mother and son immediately burst into tears.

All the suffering they have suffered in these years has now been imposed on their bodies and minds, causing the three of them to collapse, "You goddamn, you just died like this, what do you want the three of us, mother and child, to do in the future..."

"Father..."

"... woo woo..."

The crying of the three people sounded in the yard one after another. The sad and desperate voices made people cry and despair. Bai Osmanthus, who had the same experience beside her, had already turned her face away to wipe away her tears.

003.

The starlight was covered, and the darkness struck, only the dim oil lamp in the house was still flickering and struggling.

Because of the arrival of these three people, Li Mu no longer had the intention to clean up the wild pheasant, so he invited all four of them into the house, and made a simple meal for the meal.

After eating, Li Mu took out the small wooden box he brought back, and then took out Su Dayong's belongings, a few pieces of torn clothes, and a pair of shoes, and handed them all to the mother and daughter.

Among the four people who died in their team, Su Dayong's relics are relatively complete.

Yang Tie only brought back a hairpin, and he didn't even find Lao Hei's body. After these clothes were returned to the mother and son, there was only one thing left in the box.

After he retired, the reason why he returned to this mountain was because he wanted to find these people.

When they were in the military camp, the members of their team had made a joking agreement that if anyone died, the living would take out the relics and news of the death and send them to his family.

Sometimes, living is a good thing, and death is not necessarily a bad thing.

When a person dies, the family members are still waiting anxiously. Instead of doing this, it is better to simply stop thinking about it, so that the family members can live more easily.

At the beginning, these words were actually told to Old Hei, because Old Hei had the greatest chance of surviving among the five of them, but he was the one who brought the things out in the end.

People in their team have deliberately mentioned the information of their teammates when they wrote letters, just thinking that if something happened to them, someone would be able to tip off the news.

Yang Tie's daughter-in-law Li Mu knew she lived nearby, but she didn't know where she lived.Su Dayong's family fled the flood, but there was no trace of them.Old Hei never mentioned his family, and the rest...

Li Mu returned to this mountain after he came out of the army camp. He had no way of finding anyone, so he could only sit on the sidelines and wait for the rabbit. He only hoped that the reputation of his long-term retirement would spread far and wide enough so that those people could find him.

He endured what happened to Zhang Shulan before, and he ignored the people in the village, not because he missed the village so much, but because he owed his life.

He was ordered not to pay it back, but the relic must be brought with him.

After receiving the relics, the mother and son cried even harder. Although Bai Osmanthus was around to persuade them, they couldn't stop the sad atmosphere.

After sitting for a while, Li Mu was about to clean up the bowls and chopsticks, but a slender hand was one step ahead of him.

Zhong Xiuyuan, who had disappeared from sight just now, suddenly appeared, "You are tired, take a rest."

From the very beginning, he stood behind the yard watching the ducks, and listened to the crying and talking in the house with a blank expression.In such a situation, he doesn't deserve to be there.

Li Mu let go of his hand and was sitting down when a female voice sounded from the side, "I'll do it, bro."

Su Dayong's daughter stood up with red eyes and asked for help. Zhong Xiuyuan glanced at her, "No need." After thinking about it, he seemed to feel that it was not good for him to be too cold, so he added, "Are you Guest, rest well."

"It's not in the way." The girl glanced at Zhong Xiuyuan, then peeked at Li Mu, and said in a low voice, "It's right to help Brother Li with something."

Zhong Xiuyuan saw all this in his eyes, although he knew that it was not appropriate to think about it at this time, but he still couldn't help but feel sad, Li Mu is a good person.

Only one Gong Yinyin came to the door in the afternoon, and another younger sister came in the evening.

Zhong Xiuyuan glanced at Li Mu, put away his things and went into the kitchen silently to wash the dishes.

Li Mu knew that these people were exhausted all the way to find him, so he discussed with Uncle Hong and Xu Tian, ​​and let these four people live in the two houses temporarily.

There is only one bed in his house, and there are two big men at home, so it is not appropriate to entertain these female relatives.

Li Mu settled the four of them down, and when he returned home, it was already midnight.

Most people in the village have already fallen asleep, and the mountain has become quiet.

After receiving Bai Osmanthus and the mother and son, Li Mu was a little tired. After returning home, he washed his feet and lay down on the bed, motionless.

Zhong Xiuyuan drew well water in the yard, wrung out a towel, and covered Li Mu's face with his eyes closed.

Li Mu was caught off guard by the ice. He opened his eyes and looked at the towel in his hand. After wiping his face carelessly, he took off his clothes and lay down on the bed, ready to sleep.

Knowing that Li Mu wasn't in the mood to speak, Zhong Xiuyuan didn't bother him anymore, and lay down after tidying himself up.

Li Mu seemed to be tired, so he fell asleep very quickly, and soon there was a slight snoring sound in the room.

Seeing Li Mu like this, Zhong Xiuyuan didn't feel sleepy.He gently turned sideways and reclined, and by the moonlight outside the window, quietly looked at Li Mu who was sleeping beside him.

Li Mu is actually not good-looking, but the heroic spirit that a man should have, with wheat-colored skin, marked eyebrows and eyes, and always slightly pursed lips.He always has a calm aura that people can't take their eyes off, and his back is always straight, giving people an inexplicable sense of security.

Knowing that Li Mu was asleep, Zhong Xiuyuan became a little more courageous, and his eyes that looked at Li Mu became more naked.

Before that, he didn't have many interactions with Li Mu, only a few times.

Counting it, he only made four mistakes in his ten-year combat career, but all four of them seemed to be related to Li Mu.

For the first time, he was killed in an ambush by Daning.He met him by chance that time, and he remembered this person for five or six years.

And this glance, I am afraid that I will remember it for a lifetime.

He confirmed that Li Mu also joined the army, and it was when the two met for the second time.

At that time, he deliberately revealed his whereabouts, and led an army of more than 6 in ambush in the mountains, preparing to set up a plan to let the people of Daning fall into the trap, and then outflank them in a roundabout way to wipe them out all at once.

The tactics went smoothly from setting to implementation, and even until Daning's people jumped into the trap, everything went according to his plan without any problems.

But when he confronted Daning's vanguard, when the two armies were at war, he saw that familiar face among Daning's vanguard.

Needless to say how shocked he was at that time, what was more disturbing was that the two armies were fighting, and the sword had no eyes, if this person died in his hands...

He was so shocked at that time, so shocked that he completely forgot that there were [-] troops ambushing outside the mountain, waiting for his signal to launch an attack.

With almost a blank mind, he just led the 3 people around him, without thinking about anything, and chased Li Mu's vanguard for dozens of miles in a foolish way.

When he recovered from the shock, he discovered that Li Mu's vanguard had fled for dozens of miles in fright, and he realized that the 3 people he brought with him had gone mad for some reason and killed five of them. , Only half of the 6 people were beaten.

Frightened, he casually said to the people around him, 'Don't chase after the poor', and quickly withdrew his troops.

Afterwards, everyone felt that their ever-victorious general was extremely powerful, and with only 3 people, he beat the crap out of more than 6 people.Only when he remembered the terrified expression on Li Mu's face when he ran away, he couldn't help curling his lips.

After that, his mood improved for a month.

On the bed, Zhong Xiuyuan couldn't help but smile when he thought of the scene at that time.In fact, such scenes are not uncommon. Li Mu had that expression when he was being chased by ducks.

In the darkness, Zhong Xiuyuan secretly stretched out his hand, and gently stroked and sketched the corners of the faces of the people around him with his fingertips.

It was also from then on that he began to fear meeting Li Mu on the battlefield.

The third mistake was that he accidentally caught a glimpse of this person in the enemy camp. At that time, he was so frightened that he lost his size.

At that time, the two armies were facing each other, and he led Yuan Guo's army city to attack a key city in Daning. Yuan Guo's army was a few feet behind him, while Daning closed the city gate, and a hundred thousand troops guarded within the city wall.

He rode a white horse and came forward alone to call out. While speaking, he glanced briefly, and after seeing the man in armor on the wall, he immediately lost his size in fright, and was so nervous that even the spear in his hand flew out.

When he returned to his camp with a steady mind and a stiff back, he realized that he had forgotten to take back the thrown spear.

No one questioned him about that incident, and everyone seemed to think that his spear was thrown out at that time on purpose, to frighten Daning.

But only he himself knew why he insisted on seeing all the corpses of the enemy and the faces of the captives with his own eyes after that battle.

After that, he never saw Li Mu on the battlefield again.

The fourth time I met Li Mu was when he was killed again. He instinctively fled in the direction of this person, and then he was declared sovereign by this person inexplicably and became his former wife.

Thinking about the past, Zhong Xiuyuan let the love in his heart continue to ferment and swell.To be able to see this person again and confirm that this person is alive is more important to him than anything else.

When he woke up and saw him in front of him, apart from surprise and joy, half of Zhong Xiuyuan's heart was occupied by luck.

Originally, he thought Li Mu was dead.

……

Zhong Xiuyuan took a deep breath to expel the depression in his heart.

He didn't know what was wrong with him at the beginning, but now he wants to understand.

He fell in love with him.

Because I like it, I will always remember it, I will be happy when I think about it, I will be nervous when I see it, I will worry about killing him, and I will panic.

His fingers scratched towards Li Mu's nose, and then pinched Li Mu's nose lightly, making him unable to breathe.

In his sleep, Li Mu moved his head and turned to face Zhong Xiuyuan's direction.

His actions startled Zhong Xiuyuan, because as soon as he turned his head, the two of them immediately faced each other.

Zhong Xiuyuan looked at the face that was close at hand, and the slightly parted lips, his heart beat a beat slower, he looked away a little guilty
