Wife is an enemy general

Chapter 53 Do you want to eat buns

001.

In the first month of the new year, the first, second, and third days of junior high school have rest and play. The happiest children in the village are the children, wearing new clothes and shoes, snacks in their pockets, and firecrackers in their hands. They are so happy and lively.

The adults also gathered together in twos and threes. An old table, a pot of warm water, and a handful of melon seeds, although simple, made everyone smile.

During this period of time, many people came to Li Mu's house to pay New Year's greetings. Some people from the town at the foot of the mountain came who had business contacts with him. He does things.

After receiving all these people and sending them away, it was already the sixth day when the busyness stopped.

The market opened on the sixth day of the lunar new year. For Li Mu, this year was over.

The long-term workers who had been put on leave by him all came back to work unsatisfied, and began to be busy taking care of the ducks all over the mountains and plains.

Li Mu also started to move around, the duck eggs that had accumulated for more than ten days and the snow all over the mountains had to be dealt with.Although the ducks and fruit trees in the mountains are not hardy, you still have to be careful.

On the tenth day of the lunar new year, Li Mu was originally looking at the conditions of those peach trees in the mountain, so Zhong Manlu rushed up from the foot of the mountain panting heavily.

"Brother, there are guests at home." Zhong Manlu propped his legs up to breathe, while telling Li Mu to go back quickly, "The people who came are from Master Qin, you should go back and have a look."

In the past two years, Zhong Manlu has grown up a lot, and he is already a 15-year-old boy.

He had learned reading, writing, and arithmetic when he was in the palace a few years ago, so Li Mu has asked him to help him with some bookkeeping since last year. Now, he is in charge of selling duck eggs all by himself. .

Although Zhong Manlu is very young, he does things calmly and rarely makes mistakes.

Seeing him getting started slowly, Li Mu was thinking about whether to take him to sell ducks with him in the future.

This year it is estimated that the fruit trees in the mountains will bear a batch of fruit. Although he has learned a lot of theories about caring for fruit trees in the past two years, it is still the first time for a young girl to get on the sedan chair, and he will probably be very busy then.

If Zhong Manlu can take over this matter, Li Mu will feel more relaxed in the future.

"Did you say what it is?" Li Mu put down the sleeves he played with while walking down the mountain.

"I don't know, I asked the person who came, but he didn't say anything." Zhong Man said, and said with some displeasure: "It's that annoying guy who came."

Over the past few years, Zhong Manlu's personality has become more and more cheerful, and he is still calm in doing things. He has the appearance of a little adult, but he is still a bit young. The two had a lot of tossing about this matter.

In the past two years, Li Mu and Master Qin walked diligently. Master Qin helped him a lot in the transfer of the mountains in this mountain and the lease of several nearby mountains.

It took some time to get back to Shanshang Village from Taolin. When Li Mu got home, he came to look for him. The man had already sat in the room and drank a cup of tea.

The person who came was a middle-aged man in his thirties. He looked energetic and always liked to have a smile on his face. He was a very shrewd man, and he was also highly regarded by Mr. Qin.

"You're back. If you don't come again, I guess I'm going to find a latrine." The middle-aged man rubbed his stomach.

Zhong Manlu glared at him, and went to the side to do things by himself.

This man drank all his brother's favorite tea, and dared to think they were slow.

Seeing Zhong Manlu like this, the middle-aged man immediately understood what he wanted to say, smiled, and made himself a pot of tea.

Li Mu had already entered the house at this moment, he patted the snow off his body, and sat down opposite the man, "What's wrong?"

In the past two years, he and Master Qin have been walking diligently, but this is the end of the new year, and the business matters have been arranged long ago, and now there is no rush. He didn't think that Master Qin would ask him for anything.

"A good thing." The middle-aged man said, "It's a good thing that came to your door."

Li Mu poured himself a cup of tea, warmed his hands, and then looked at the man, asking him to continue talking.

In the past two years, Li Mu has become more and more silent. The hostility in his body in the early years has been hidden, but now the calmness and strength in his body are more vigorous.

If someone hadn't intentionally brought up his events back then, most people would have thought that he was already a veteran in the business field.

The middle-aged man was originally planning to whet Li Mu's appetite, but seeing Li Mu's appearance now, he couldn't help explaining his purpose for coming.

He came to look for Li Mu on behalf of Master Qin, just as he said, this time it was a big deal.

Things have to start with the previous armistice agreement.

After Daning and Yuan Guo signed an armistice agreement, Daning, under the arrangement of the former emperor Lin Hong, began to implement a series of measures to save the country, resettling refugees, and distributing porridge and medicine.

These rescue projects were carried out in a hurry, and many refugees were grateful for this, and they respected the late emperor Lin Hong even more for a while.

It’s just that the ten-year war has brought down not only the refugees in Daning, but also the treasury of Daning. After ten years, all the money in the treasury has been filled with military rations, how much is left?

How can this measure of relief and resettlement of the victims not cost money?

There is no money in the treasury, but money is needed to help the victims, so what should we do?

The solution of the former emperor Lin Hong was to prepare to delegate power and raise money.

Daning is now full of refugees, but it does not mean that there are only poor people and no rich people in Daning.On the contrary, under such a general situation, the poor are very poor, and the rich are also very rich.

In the past ten years, many smart people have made a lot of money because of this. The gold and silver mountains in their families are really incomparably rich compared to Daning, who is short of national treasury.

Under such circumstances, it is of course impossible for the officials to rob it blatantly, so the former emperor Lin Hong waved his hand and directly launched the policy of the imperial merchants.

Not to mention the detours in it, in short, it can be summed up as the blatant "collusion between government and businessmen" under the hint of the late emperor Lin Hong.

Daning launched the Imperial Merchant, and the selected candidates can be provided with preferential policies in various aspects in the next few years by Daning officials, as well as some official discs that travel with other nearby countries, etc.

This is an extremely attractive policy. Among other things, the official account that can travel to other countries is enough to make many people fall in love with it. After all, there is a huge piece of fat behind it.

There are many qualifications for the selection of the Imperial Merchant. If it were the normal Heian era, it would be extremely strict and demanding, but now...

To put it bluntly, this was the method used by the former emperor Lin Hong to solicit money. Although many people gritted their teeth with hatred, more people did not hesitate to empty their wallets to get a letter of appointment.

The money in hand is spent and can be earned again, and the official disc is missed, but I don’t know when it will be available.

Master Qin came to Li Mu this time because of the matter of the imperial merchant.

Of course, Master Qin didn't look for Li Mu because he wanted Li Mu to get the official record. He looked for Li Mu because it was a matter of another level below the imperial merchant.

The matter of Huangshang has been concluded almost a month ago, and the disaster relief food has been distributed.The reason why Master Qin found Li Mu now is because the person he made friends with was an imperial merchant, and he was planning to recruit a group of people recently.

After getting the title of Emperor Merchant and the official plate, it is unrealistic to eat alone at home, so the people above Master Qin are going to take advantage of this opportunity to win over a group of people to expand their influence. Can maximize the weight of this imperial business name.

This matter, to put it bluntly, is that the people who took the imperial merchant wanted to expand their power, and they were prepared to recruit people because they were short of manpower.

It's actually more of a deal.You entered my name and made money under my name as an imperial merchant, and we will share it again. To put it bluntly, it is a relationship of mutual benefit.

"Master Qin means that this is an opportunity for you. The meeting will be on the tenth day of the next lunar month." The middle-aged man said, "Of course it's up to you to decide whether to go or not. I'm just talking."

This matter is indeed an opportunity for Li Mu.

Li Mu now raises so many ducks at home. Although he has found a few fixed homes on the pier in the past two years, because the next homes are all restaurants, the monthly sales are basically fixed there.

The monthly duck sales volume of the next family is fixed, and the number of his ducks cannot be increased, otherwise there will be nowhere to sell even if there are too many ducks.

If Li Mu can find contacts at this rally, then he can increase the number of ducks he raises in each batch, or else he can find a second-hand seller and sell the things to him and let him go Allotment to sell.

In any case, this is an opportunity for him to make his business bigger.

After listening to the middle-aged man's analysis, Li Mu already had the answer in his mind, "Where is the meeting?"

Hearing Li Mu's question, the middle-aged man immediately understood that Li Mu knew it well, and he said directly, "If you want to go, pack your things and go with me. The time to go is just about right now."

Li Mu thought about it again, and then said: "Then please wait for me in the inn at the foot of the mountain for a day or two, and I will arrange things in the mountain for the time being."

The middle-aged man nodded, smiled and got up and walked out the door. Not long after he went out, he fell back again, "Where is your hut?"

It was still snowing in this mountain, and the deep part could submerge his ankles. He was very cold on the trip up the mountain, so he drank more than a pot of hot water, and now he is holding back.

Li Mu was a little funny when he heard the words, and pointed in the direction of the hut, letting him go there by himself.

The middle-aged man found the hut by himself, and Zhong Manlu ran over, "Brother, are you really going?"

Li Mu nodded, "It's good to go and have a look. If you can find a way, you don't have to bring duck eggs down the mountain every day to sell them, and let people go up the mountain to collect them."

Now that he has more ducks, he collects more duck eggs every day. There is no way to pull a cart in the mountains, so he can only rely on people to carry it. It is also very tiring to go back and forth every day.

Moreover, each of these duck eggs, which were precious when he had no money, is now worthless in his hands.

Spending the same time as before tossing these duck eggs every day, but the money earned has not changed, which is already not worth it.

People go to high places, and water flows to low places. He always has to look far away, and he can't stand still all the time.

What moved Li Mu's heart was not just the middle-aged man's words, but also the current situation.

Now that the armistice contract has just been signed, life will get better and better after coming to Daning, and this period of time is also a rare opportunity for business people like them.

It is said that heroes come out of troubled times. Although it is not very appropriate to apply it to business, the truth is the same.

In the troubled times, if they can seize this opportunity to make a fortune along with the development of the times, if they can't grasp it, it will be difficult for them to prosper and make money after this period of time has passed.

Zhong Manlu seems to understand, but it is always a good thing to be able to relax, "Okay, then you go, be careful on the road."

002.

That being said, it is not so easy for Li Mu to leave. If he wants to leave, he has to explain everything at home clearly.

Fortunately, Zhong Manlu has been doing things with him for a while, so after he probably told Zhong Manlu all the things to pay attention to, he took him to see a few places that need extra attention. It's over.

On the third day, Li Mu packed up a few simple clothes and took some money and went down the mountain to find the middle-aged man who lived in the inn.

Neither of them is a delicate person, so each of them has a horse, a small bag of biscuits, and a pot of water, and they drove the horse towards the meeting place.

The city they went to was the city called Anfu beyond the pier. It was a big city. It was far away from the battle lines and had always been very prosperous.

After the armistice agreement was signed, this place became even more bustling and lively, but it was completely different from when Li Mu came here in just a few months.

After arriving at the place, the middle-aged man arranged for Li Mu to live in an inn near Master Qin's mansion, and roughly told him about the situation.

The rally was held on the tenth day of February, and there are still a few days left.The meeting place is in Master Anfu Qin's mansion, and many businessmen will come here at that time.

Li Mu was placed in it, and as for whether Li Mu would be able to become the person at the top of his mind, Master Qin could only say a few good words for him, and he couldn't make a decision.

After saying goodbye to the middle-aged man, Li Mu stood and rested in the middle of the inn, recharging his energy and recharging his energy to prepare for what happened that day.

Anfu Li Mu came here many times, and Li Mu bought the ducks with white spots on their backs and the fruit trees here, so he is familiar with this place.

After resting for a day, Li Mu started wandering around the city after recovering his energy, wanting to see the duck market here, and if there are any new and interesting things recently.

The boss selling ducklings in the market saw Li Mu approaching, immediately beamed with joy, waved Xiao Er away, and got up to greet him himself.

When Li Mu buys ducks from them, he always only buys the ones with white spots on their backs. He has never bought ordinary ducks here.

But even so, the boss was very impressed with Li Mu, because he sold so many ducklings, but the ducks that Li Mu raised were almost as many as he bought.

When Li Mu sent back all the twenty ducks he raised in the first year, all of which were good, and let him sell them, it caused a lot of commotion.

Afterwards, many people secretly came to ask him how he raised the duck. He also asked Li Mu secretly, but Li Mu just smiled mysteriously and didn't tell him.

In the winter of the second year after that, Li Mu bought nearly 500 ducklings back home, and after the Chinese New Year, the [-] ducklings were sent back to him.

In this way, the fact that Li Mu was able to feed the duck was completely spread in their small business. Many people stretched their necks and looked around trying to figure out what was going on, but to no avail. .

Seeing Li Mu coming now, the boss was naturally attentive, "Boss Li, long time no see."

Li Mu nodded, and under the hospitality of the boss, he went to sit down in the private room in the back room.

"Boss Li, is the duck coming this time?" The shop owner was a little puzzled, because it was not time for Li Mu to sell ducks.

"No, I have other things to do this time, so I'll drop by here to have a look. The duck will have to wait for a month, and I'll trouble you, boss." Li Mu took the tea on the table and respected The boss has a cup.

The boss had a clear mind, and immediately thought of the recent incident of the Imperial Merchant, "How sure is Boss Li?"

Li Mu looked at the teacup and thought for a while, then shook his head. In fact, he himself was not sure, after all, this was the first time he had encountered such a thing.

The owner of the duck shop offered a few more compliments, reassuring Li Mu not to be nervous, saying that a young and promising person like Li Mu was very likely to be selected.

Li Mu knew that he was just complimenting him, so he didn't say much to him, and after sitting for a while, they went to watch the ducks together.

Now that he has already come here this time, he is going to buy some more ducks to go back, saving time by the way.

"How many ducks does Boss Li plan to bring this time?" The store owner burst into a smile when he heard that Li Mu wanted to buy more ducks.

The ducklings that Li Mu bought from him every year brought him a lot of profit.

"I want this quantity this time." Li Mu gestured to him, and when the store owner's face showed excitement, he reminded again: "You have to watch it for me, if this duck is not good, I will order it." I won't come to your house again."

After hearing Li Mu's words, the shop owner couldn't have said something nice?He quickly invited Li Mu to drink tea again, and promised that the little duck must be in good spirits.

However, Li Mu didn't plan to spend any more time here, and after explaining to him the specific time to pick up the ducks, he said goodbye and walked towards the inn.

There are still four or five months until the hot weather, and he can take advantage of this time to raise another batch.

With previous experience, he bought a lot of ducklings in this batch. Just now he asked the boss to prepare a thousand ducklings for him.

This kind of duck with white spots on its back is very troublesome to raise, and the food is also very expensive, but if it can be raised, the income will be multiplied many times, so every winter, Li Mu does not raise it. Ordinary ducks, only this kind is raised.

When we came out of the duck market, the sky was already dark, and as night fell, all the lanterns on the side of the road were lit, making the road dim.

Li Mu was thinking about the duck while walking towards the inn. When he turned the corner, he stopped suddenly and suddenly raised his head to look towards the end of the street.

At that moment, he had a familiar feeling, but when he looked up, there was no one he remembered there.

Li Mu stood there for quite a while, seeing the people around change from group to group, finally lowered his head and continued walking towards the inn.

Zhong Xiuyuan has disappeared for six or seven months, no one knows where he went, no one knows where he is now, and no one knows whether he is alive or dead.

In six or seven months, even if Zhong Xiuyuan was seriously injured in Yuan Guo, he should have returned by now, but there was still no news of him.

The people sent by Uncle Hong searched around without interruption, but there was no news.

The notices of looking for Zhong Xiuyuan were posted all over the country in Daning, but it was still like a stone sinking into the ocean, without any movement.

Li Mu also asked Master Qin to help inquire about Yuan Guo's news, but there was no response.

Now, even if Zhong Xiuyuan really returned to Daning, he would not be here. After all, this place is farther away from Yuan Guo than their home is from Yuan Guo. If he has already returned, it is impossible not to go back but to come here instead.

On the tenth day of the lunar new year, Li Mu was taken to the Qin residence early in the morning.

He thought he had gone early enough, but he didn't expect to find that many people had already come to the Qin Mansion after he entered the Qin Mansion.

Master Qin is a person who has a wide range of friends and likes to make friends, so he is very popular. Although this time the party was not hosted by him, there were a lot of people who came.

Master Qin was very busy, so Li Mu only met once when he came in, and then he sat alone in the hall and waited.

In the living room, the big man who is said to have obtained the qualification of the imperial merchant has been delaying in coming.The people waiting in the living room gradually relaxed and became lively.

The people here are basically all businessmen from various places, and most of them are some famous businessmen.

Everyone is a businessman, so even if you can't stand out from the crowd this time, it's a good thing to get to know a few more people and have more connections. If one of the people you didn't choose to make friends with is chosen, they will be much better walk around.

There is more than one person who has such an idea, so many people take the initiative to make friends with others, and the living room is harmonious and lively.

Everyone is trying to get to know more people and make more connections, so naturally some people will take the initiative to strike up a conversation with Li Mu.

Among this group of people, Li Mu is relatively young, but Li Mu was unfamiliar, some people looked at it and left, some people came to chat with Li Mu after looking around for a while, and after asking about Li Mu's situation and name, they didn't remember Li Mu. Where is it, said a few more words and left.

But among these people, not everyone knows how to advance and retreat like this, and there are a few who, after asking about Li Mu's name and origin, kept asking the bottom line.

Li Mu didn't hide anything from these people. After all, there was no point in hiding it in this place. Even if he didn't say it now, when he left this door, people would just ask someone to inquire about it.

Li Mu didn't hide the fact that he raised ducks and planted fruit trees, but those who listened laughed.

They came this time to fight for a chance to cooperate with the imperial merchants, so most of the people who come here are from some family background, and those without family background are also well-connected, like Li Mu who dares to come here without knowing how to advance or retreat to raise a few ducks Yes, Li Mu is probably the only one.

Some people turned around and left after hearing this, ignoring Li Mu, but some people couldn't help but sneer and sneer, "Master Qin is too unreliable in his work, why would anyone dare to put it in?"

As soon as the man said this, there were many people around to cater to him immediately, "We are already in chaos, and we add to the chaos. This Master Qin is also very confused when doing things sometimes."

It's about this time, although everyone pretends to be very harmonious on the surface, and they are all hooking up with people everywhere, but secretly everyone is thinking that they can be selected.

Now that they found someone who was completely different from themselves and didn't know good or bad, many people who were nervous in their hearts vented their anger towards Li Mu.

Originally, Li Mu was patiently catering to these people, but now he didn't bother to put on a show after hearing what these people said. He leaned back, sat on the stool and closed his eyes to rest, ignoring the people around him who were looking over frequently.

Li Mu's quiet appearance made many people feel more presumptuous.

003.

Not long after, someone sat down on the stool next to Li Mu, and a young man who seemed to be about the same age as Li Mu supported the coffee table with one hand, and his body fell towards Li Mu, "You really raised ducks in the mountains ?”

Li Mu ignored him.

But the young man continued to ask with a smile: "You said that the business of the imperial merchant is all about merchants. If you are a duck breeder, is it possible that you plan to let everyone raise ducks with you?"

When everyone heard this, they immediately sneered, "Little brother, your idea is brilliant!"

Just as they were commotioning, a person walked in from outside the door, Chi Ran was Master Qin whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Seeing Master Qin coming, everyone lost their minds to continue laughing at Li Mu, but stood up and greeted Master Qin with fists together.

After some greetings, everyone's attention naturally shifted to the lord who was supposed to appear here, but Master Qin didn't say when the lord would come, but talked about another matter.

"We have so many people here, everyone knows what our purpose is, so I won't beat around the bush. What the lord means is that he has a question. If anyone can answer it, he will see you." Who, otherwise, please go back, everyone!"

As soon as Mr. Qin said this, the crowd immediately became lively. Some of them came here after traveling a long way. If no one saw them and went back like this, wouldn't all their work be in vain?

Master Qin made a gesture to calm everyone down. After everyone was quiet, he asked the question.

The adult’s question is, if he has a large amount of salt in his hand and wants to transport this large amount of salt through a checkpoint, but there are some problems with this batch of salt and cannot be discovered by the people at the checkpoint, what should he do to get the salt? Passed the checkpoint smoothly?

This question seems simple, but there are many reasons why it is not simple.

Leaving aside what is wrong with the salt so that it cannot be discovered, just looking at the problem itself, it is not an easy task to transport this large amount of salt silently.

Moreover, the adult called out the problematic goods at this time, and there was a lot of meaning behind this question.

For a while, everyone fell silent, frowning silently and thinking.

After listening to Master Qin's question, Li Mu thought about it, and went out quietly when no one noticed.

No matter what the problem is with the salt, his business cannot be done.

Now that Daning is in great chaos, Uncle Hong's way of choosing the imperial merchants is a risky one, and it can be regarded as tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall.

It remains to be determined whether the emperor master Qin knows is a good person or a profiteer, but in any case, although Li Mu can't help Uncle Hong, he can't help him in this matter.

Li Mu left the living room, walked to the side, found the butler next to Master Qin, told him about the fact that he left first, and then walked out the door.

But before he left the Qin residence, he was hurriedly stopped by the housekeeper, "Master Qin invites you to come over."

Li Mu wanted to leave, but thinking about the good intentions of Master Qin this time, he went back to say thank you to Master Qin himself.

The place where Master Qin saw him was in the side hall, where there were only Master Qin and him.

"How did you go?" Master Qin put down his teacup and looked at Li Mu.

"I think I'd better go back and raise ducks!" Li Mu smiled wryly.

Master Qin smiled, "Did you not figure out what to do, or what?"

It's not been a day or two since Li Mu and Master Qin knew each other, and Li Mu didn't need to hide it from him. He sat down beside him and said, "There is a way."

"Oh, then you should talk about it." Master Qin said.

Li Mu is funny, Mr. Qin has clearly thought of this, but he is just trying to test him on purpose, "This salt can turn water, as long as it turns water, if it is wine, even if it is checked by those checkpoints, it may not be able to find out .”

"Hahahaha..." Master Qin couldn't stop laughing, he had obviously already thought of the answer, and appreciated Li Mu's answer very much.

"Since you have already thought of the answer, but you are unwilling to stay, is it because of other reasons?" Master Qin looked at Li Mu meaningfully.

Li Mu didn't hide anything, just said vaguely: "I'm just a duck seller, and I just want to live a little life. I'm naturally happy to make more money, but there are some things I don't want to do. .”

If this person has the intention of smuggling, then Li Mu is definitely not going to get involved. Smuggling is a minor crime at a light level, but a serious crime that can be beheaded at a serious level.

"Hahaha, you kid..." Master Qin shook his head, feeling a little helpless towards Li Mu.

Li Mu chatted with Master Qin for a few more words before taking his leave and leaving.

Li Mu just walked away, but Master Qin stood up on the back foot, and stood aside respectfully.

But after a while, a person came out from the side room in the side hall.

That person was about the same age as Master Qin, but his face was a little more handsome, and his brows were also shrewd, "This is the person you mentioned?"

"Yes." Master Qin said.

"He's a bit clever." The man said, with a bit of admiration in his tone.

This question is not difficult, and there are not a few people who can think of this step after spending some time, but Li Mu had the answer almost immediately after Master Qin asked this question, and turned away silently.

Smart but not clever, caring but also has a bottom line, for those of them who want to find a few people to help with things, such people are naturally the most suitable.

Those who are too smart or like to play tricks too much, and have no bottom line in doing anything for their own benefit, this kind of person is a big taboo in their hearts, because that kind of person likes to be clever in small things, and can't accomplish big things.

"Then I will leave this matter to you!" the adult said.

Master Qin smiled happily when he heard the words, and thanked the lord again and again. After thanking him, he sent the person out of the door. After sending the person away, he went back to announce the result to those who were still waiting in the hall.

Li Mu didn't know what happened to the Qin Manor after he left, he went back to the inn, ate something and went shopping again, until it was dark, he went to the inn from the flower and bird market selling saplings.

Now that Mr. Qin's affairs have been discussed, he has nothing on his mind, so he is more relaxed along the way, watching as he walks.

Anfu is very large, and all aspects of development are complete and prosperous, but even so, there are still many refugees who have fled on the streets of Anfu.

These refugees lay in twos and threes on the corner of the street, some still had some strength and could put a bowl in front of them to beg for food, while some were already shrunk up, skinny, foul-smelling, motionless and lifeless.

Li Mu walked forward while looking at the beggars around him.

He thought about the question that Zhong Xiuyuan asked him before he left, and it wasn't until recently that he finally figured it out.

Zhong Xiuyuan said that he had seen him before, if it wasn't in the barracks, then it was only during the period when he was not dragged to join the army.

It's just that during that period of time, he stayed in the mountains for more than a month. He really couldn't remember when he had seen this majestic general.

At the beginning, he also thought about the possibility that Zhong Xiuyuan had admitted the wrong person, that the person Zhong Xiuyuan had met was not him, but the original body of this body.

It wasn't until some time ago, when those people who were talking about Zhong Xiuyuan talking about what happened six or seven years ago, that he finally had some clues.

During the 11-year war between Daning and Yuan Guo, there was a time when the two countries negotiated peace. That time, because of Daning's deceit, Zhong Xiuyuan, who came to Daning to negotiate peace, was ambushed, and the entire mission was wiped out.

At that time, the approximate location where the mission was ambushed was not far from their mountain, and the journey took less than ten days.

The situation at that time is now somewhat blurred, not many people remember it, and it was only because Zhong Xiuyuan disappeared again that someone brought it up again.

It is said that at that time, Zhong Xiuyuan fled towards their mountain after being ambushed, and then disappeared without a trace just like the previous time, but he returned to Yuan Kingdom two months later.

That period of time coincides with the time when Li Mugang traveled over here.

After that, Li Mu carefully recalled the time when he just traveled over here. He thought about it, but he only vaguely remembered one thing.

At that time, he had just crossed, and he was still a little confused, so he stayed in the mountain most of the time, and the number of times he went down the mountain was very small.

During that time, he knew not only Uncle Hong, but also people from the village, only Yun'er and his father, an idiot.

The only two times when I went down the mountain, apart from those shopkeepers, there were only some beggars.

There are many beggars in the town, but he has only seen a few beggars outside the town, just beside the stream beside their mountain.

He doesn't remember the specifics anymore, he just remembers that he seemed to give him the steamed stuffed bun that he ate a few mouthfuls of, because the little beggar looked about the same age as him, so he softened his heart.

After that, he tried to recall the situation at that time, but no matter how he thought about it, he could only remember a general idea.

Now walking on the street, looking at the beggars on the street, Li Mu tried to recall the situation at that time, when he was walking, his body shook violently.

On the street as usual, on the corner of the street full of refugees, a young man with dirty clothes and tattered clothes sat awkwardly on the corner. His body was very dirty and messy, and his hair was messy, as if he hadn't washed it for a long time. Pass.

The man lowered his head slightly, as if he was extremely tired and sleepy, so he took a nap there.

Pedestrians around walked back and forth, no one cared about him.

He didn't care about others, he just curled up and hugged his legs, lowering his head.
