Wife is an enemy general
Chapter 54 Give me another bite.
001.
Probably because he had been squatting on the ground for too long, or maybe because his body was too weak, every time Zhong Xiuyuan took a step, his body wobbled, as if he was about to fall down at any time.
Supporting him to walk two steps, Li Mu couldn't bear it anymore, bent down, picked him up and went back to the inn.
After returning to the inn, Li Mu asked someone to bring hot water up, and took some money to the waiter in the shop, asking him to help him buy a suit of clothes that fit him back.
After dismissing the waiter, Li Mu closed the door, and he hugged the person who had been tugging on his sleeve to the side of the bucket.
He didn't know how this person had spent this period of time, so that he could become so skinny, leaving only a layer of skin and bones.
Zhong Xiuyuan is very obedient, since he saw Li Mu, he has been pulling Li Mu's clothes and looking at Li Mu, allowing Li Mu to do whatever he wants with him, allowing Li Mu to carry him back to the inn, and take off his clothes.
After taking off the colorless and somewhat foul-smelling clothes, Li Mu put the person into the bucket of warm water, and Zhong Xiuyuan flinched as soon as he entered.
"Is it hot?" Li Mu stretched out his hand to touch the water, the water temperature was just right, not too hot.
Zhong Xiuyuan didn't resist, he obediently let Li Mu put him in the water to soak.
After letting him go, Li Mu turned around to get a towel, but when Zhong Xiuyuan realized that he was about to leave, he tugged at his clothes nervously.
Seeing this, Li Mu's eyes flickered, he didn't say anything, he just turned his body sideways, extended his hand and hooked the towel over with his fingertips.
After wetting the sticky water with the towel in the water and wiping it off the man's body, he discovered that after the man was put into the water, the place where the man touched the water was scalded with a layer of pink.
Li Mu touched the water again, and only belatedly came to his senses.
This person doesn't know how long he has been wearing thin clothes in such a world of ice and snow. His body is probably too cold to feel. Although the temperature of the water in this bucket is not hot for Li Mu, it is still not hot for Li Mu. According to Zhong Xiuyuan, who was so cold that he lost consciousness, it should be as hot as boiling oil.
Li Mu's hand holding the towel trembled, and his face, which had been expressionless since seeing this person, showed signs of cracking.
"Are you stupid? You don't even know how to open your mouth..." Li Mu was originally going to ask this person why he was so stupid, but when he opened his mouth, he realized that his voice was even hoarse than Zhong Xiuyuan.
Li Mu looked at the person sitting in the bucket who was unwilling to let go of his hand, and kept looking at him with both eyes.
There was a burst of bitterness in his throat, and for a moment, thousands of words came out of his heart, but all the words turned into infinite bitterness and soreness under the gaze of this person's dark eyes.
Li Mu turned his head to the side, looking at the thin and tattered clothes thrown on the ground, and he turned his head after a long while.
"It's good to scald it, so as not to cause frostbite." Li Mu carefully dipped a towel in water, and cleaned the person in the bucket that was trembling with every movement he made.
Li Mu didn't put down the towel until he cleaned all the blood stains, dirt, and other unknown things on the person's body until the person's whole body was washed pink.
"Why don't you just go back?" Li Mu asked softly.
Zhong Xiuyuan in the barrel opened his mouth after hearing the words, as if reacting slowly. He tried to speak, but his throat interfered too much, and his voice was extremely hoarse.
"It's okay, let's talk about it later..." Li Mu's lips trembled slightly.
He rolled up his sleeves and fished the person in the water in front of him, let him sit down against the barrel wall in front of him, and then carefully helped him to wash the strips on his head that had been stained with dirt, mud and blood. s hair.
"I've already asked the waiter to prepare food. We'll eat after washing." Li Mu said softly while helping the person in front of him wash his hair.
The person sitting in front of him, holding the barrel wall with his hands and looking at him, was unwilling to close his eyes even if water flowed into his eyes.
Li Mu's movements became more and more careful, not letting the foam on the soap horns flow into his eyes.
Feeling the knotted grass-like hair in his palm, feeling the skinny body under his palm, Li Mu finally couldn't hold back, and reached out to hug this person.
After half a year of searching for no results, he even thought about the worst outcome...
Lying on the wall of the barrel, Zhong Xiuyuan, who obediently washed Li Mu's hair, felt Li Mu's hug. He had an ugly scar across half of his face, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
He also stretched out his hand, hugged Li Mu, and then patted Li Mu's back lightly, as if to comfort Li Mu.
After a long while, Li Mu regained his strength. He washed the man's hair and wiped off the water, and changed into the clothes that the waiter helped to buy.
After finishing all this, Li Mu took the porridge that the shop waiter had brought in and put on the table, and handed it to the person sitting on the bed.
Zhong Xiuyuan was really hungry, he took the porridge and fed it to his mouth without thinking about anything else.
Seeing his gobbling, Li Mu's throat became more and more bitter, "Slow down, don't worry, it's all yours."
While eating the porridge, Zhong Xiuyuan made a small sound with his nose, as if he was answering Li Mu's words, but also seemed to be just lamenting how delicious it was.
After eating a bowl of porridge, Zhong Xiuyuan licked the spoon dissatisfied, and looked at the table again.
Li Mu didn't give him any more food, but poured him a cup of hot water and took the bowl away, "I'll eat it later, eating too much is bad for the stomach."
Zhong Xiuyuan reluctantly let go of the bowl that was snatched by Li Mu, then put his eyes on Li Mu again, staring straight at Li Mu.
"Take a nap." Li Mu tried to put him on the bed for him to sleep, but Zhong Xiuyuan didn't want to lie down, but kept pulling him.
"...Hug..." Zhong Xiuyuan opened his mouth to say something, but because his voice was too hoarse, Li Mu couldn't hear it clearly.
"What?" Li Mu stretched out his hand to check the man's forehead, for fear that the man might be uncomfortable.
"...Hold...Hold..." Zhong Xiuyuan tried his best to speak. After eating a bowl of porridge, his body has gradually recovered, but he did not know what he had experienced before, and his body was really bad.
Li Mu's eyes were slightly red, and he stepped forward to hug this person in his arms a little funny, "Don't worry, I won't go anywhere in the future, and I will always be by your side from now on."
Zhong Xiuyuan was hugged by Li Mu again, his face that was pale because of his weakness did not know where the blood came from, but it was a little pink.
He looked at it for a while at a loss, then stretched out his arms to hug Li Mu, and after a while, he said, "Baozi..."
Li Mu said he would buy buns for him.
Li Mu's body paused slightly, and then he was amused, and at the same time his throat was sore, and he couldn't say a word for a while.
It seems that he has to be more careful in the future, lest this great general be tricked away with a steamed stuffed bun one day...
"Huh?" Zhong Xiuyuan sensed that something was wrong with Li Mu, he turned his head to try to see Li Mu's face clearly, but Li Mu didn't let go of him.
Zhong Xiuyuan struggled a little, but after failing to break free from Li Mu's embrace, he obediently put his head on Li Mu's shoulder, and quietly felt the breath of Li Mu's hug and the warmth of Li Mu's body.
Zhong Xiuyuan was extremely tired these days, feeling the breath and temperature that made him miss his peace of mind at this moment, his eyes couldn't hold on any longer, and he closed them slowly.
However, at this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, and a voice said, "Boss Li, I am someone sent by Master Qin. I have something to talk to you about."
Hearing the voice outside the door, Zhong Xiuyuan instinctively opened his eyes, and reflexively hugged the person in his arms tightly, for fear that the person he found with great difficulty would disappear again.
"Don't be afraid, I won't go." Li Mu patted Zhong Xiuyuan on the back, but Zhong Xiuyuan didn't let go.
Li Mu felt helpless, so he sat on the bed and said to the person outside the door, "Come in!"
Hearing the words, the person outside the door hastily opened the door and came in. After entering the door, seeing the two people sitting on the bed hugging each other, he looked slightly puzzled, and then turned his head away.
"What's the matter?" Li Mu maintained the posture of hugging Zhong Xiuyuan. Zhong Xiuyuan, who was already extremely sleepy and tired, hugged Li Mu tightly, and stared at the man defensively, as if he was afraid that Li Mu would be snatched away. .
"Master Qin has something to do with him. He asked me to invite you over there." After thinking about it, the man added, "It's about the imperial business. I came to see Boss Li in the afternoon, but Boss Li has never returned to the inn."
Royal merchants?Li Mu was a little puzzled, why did Master Qin tell him about this now?
"Master Qin should have been waiting impatiently, Boss Li..." The person who came to invite Li Mu hesitated to speak.
Zhong Xiuyuan listened to what the two said, and immediately pulled Li Mu tighter.
In fact, up to now, he still doesn't believe that the scene in front of him is real.
He was sleepy, tired, hungry and cold. During the several months of fleeing, reality and dreams had become somewhat blurred to him. He had faced life and death many times. If it wasn't for Li Mu supporting him, he would have died long ago. .
The moment he woke up, he heard Li Mu's voice, and when he looked up, he saw Li Mu standing next to him. All of this had happened in front of him more than once, but every time he woke up, there was nothing.
In the past six or seven months, this kind of thing has been repeated countless times in front of him. He is afraid, really afraid.
It's just that this time everything was extra real. Li Mu hugged him, Li Mu bathed him, Li Mu washed his hair, and Li Mu promised him that he would never leave him again...
Even if it was a dream, Zhong Xiuyuan didn't want to wake up from this dream for a moment.
Li Mu noticed the small movements of the person in his arms, and the bitterness and helplessness in his eyes became even worse, "Please tell Master Qin for me that I can't go for the time being, and I will definitely come to the door to apologize in the future."
Hearing Li Mu's words, the man became a little anxious, "Boss Li, just come with us, Master Qin asked us to come to you a few hours ago, all of this..."
Li Mu hugged the person in his arms, and said in a slightly cold tone, "You tell Master Qin that I have an old friend back and I can't escape for the time being, he will understand."
The man originally wanted to say something, but when he saw the cold beast-like eyes of the man in Li Mu's arms, he felt a chill down his spine, and staggered back and left the room.
002.
In the Qin mansion where the banquet was decorated with lanterns, Master Qin was the second seat, rolled up his sleeves and raised a wine glass to pour wine with the person sitting next to him.
"My lord, please wait a moment, I have already sent someone to find someone." Master Qin couldn't help but have a headache while laughing with him, where did this kid Li Mu go?
This great opportunity, he managed to get this kid on board, but in the end he himself disappeared in the blink of an eye.
This was supposed to be a banquet set up for him, but now the adults beside him are all here, but Li Mu is still missing.
"Huh!" The middle-aged man on the first place raised his glass and took a sip, but snorted coldly, "Didn't you say that this surnamed Li knows how to advance and retreat, why don't I look like it?"
If it is said that Li Mu's actions made him have a good impression before, then Li Mu's good impression in front of him now has completely fallen to the bottom.
Master Qin quickly apologized when he heard the words, "I think there must be some delays, my lord, please forgive me."
Listening to the conversation between Master Qin and that lord, the people who stayed beside him at the table would inevitably say a few sarcastic remarks.
"This man is unreliable, he is a young man after all!" An older man said meaningfully.
"What I said is wrong. Whether it is reliable or not is not judged by age but by character. If a person's character is not good enough, no matter how old he is, he will be useless."
"You don't have to be like this, maybe that little friend is really delayed by something, otherwise why would he let this adult wait for him?"
"It's not sure if it's true or it's a fake show..."
Now most of the people at this table came to participate in the rally, but they were not selected, so the sarcastic words of Feng Feng were naturally a bit sour.
Master Qin's heart sank, but he still had a smile on his face.
He was about to say a few good words to the lord in the first seat, when he saw the person he sent hurried in from the door.
"What's the matter?" Master Qin hurriedly turned his head and asked, the man bent down and raised his hand to cover his mouth and whispered something in his ear.
After hearing what the man said, Master Qin couldn't hold a smile on his face.
"What?" Seeing this, the people next to him immediately smelled something, and hurriedly booed, "Did something happen?"
The adult in the lead couldn't help but look back at Master Qin, hoping that he could give an explanation.
Master Qin's expression changed instantly after hearing what his subordinates brought back. He is a smart man, and it didn't take long for him to understand what Li Mu meant by "an old friend returns".
He knew very well that Zhong Xiuyuan, the great general of Yuan State, lived with Li Mu on the mountain before. He was surprised that Zhong Xiuyuan suddenly surrendered to Daning and led troops to fight for Daning. Later, Zhong Xiuyuan disappeared without a trace, and Li Mu I also asked him to go to Yuan Guo to find someone...
After six or seven months passed, everyone thought that Zhong Xiuyuan had died in that battle. Although he kept sending people to look for him, he actually thought so in his heart.
Now Li Mu's words mean that Zhong Xiuyuan is back?
But how did he come back?
Master Qin's expression changed again and again, and he only came back to his senses when he heard the adult next to him ask how he was doing.
"He's delayed by some things, and he may not be able to make it through tonight." Master Qin didn't have time to think about whether Li Mu was talking about Zhong Xiuyuan, and now he had to put all his energy on this banquet.
After hearing Master Qin's words, the people at the banquet immediately exploded. Originally, they were dissatisfied that such a brat like Li Mu had robbed them of their seats, but now that he didn't come, of course they couldn't say anything good.
Master Qin smiled wryly, but he could only bite the bullet and help Li Mu speak.
In the inn, after Li Mu sent the person who came to deliver the letter away, he laid down on the bed with his clothes on and hugged him.
"Go to sleep, have a good night's rest, we'll talk about what we have tomorrow." Li Mu hugged the man in his arms and told him to go to bed quickly.
He didn't know what Zhong Xiuyuan had experienced along the way, but this person's body really owed too much, if he hadn't been holding on because of seeing him, he might have already passed out.
When Zhong Xiuyuan heard the words, he grabbed Li Mu's clothes tightly again, and then kept looking at Li Mu in front of him.
After an unknown amount of time, his eyes slowly closed as if weighing a thousand catties.
Li Mu didn't dare to make any movements, and maintained a movement until the man fell asleep.
Taking advantage of the faint moonlight outside the house, Li Mu looked at the person in front of him who would hug him and not let go while sleeping, who would always wake up in shock, and would only sleep again when he saw him.
After washing, Zhong Xiuyuan looked thinner and thinner, and his face had long since lost the handsomeness and beauty of the past, especially the new scar on his face, which made his whole body look thinner. A bit hideous and terrifying.
The location of the scar was shocking even Li Mu looked at it now.
Because the scar started from Zhong Xiuyuan's left forehead, crossed the corner of the eye and nose, and slid straight to the right cheek. It was as long as a palm. Although it was not wide, it almost crossed the eye.
Li Mu didn't dare to think about the location of the scar. If it shifted a little further, would he be able to see this person again now.
This person wakes up tomorrow, and he must ask about the matter during this period of time...
Li Mu raised his head slightly, and planted a kiss on the forehead of the person who never forgot to hold him while he was asleep. He feared that he would never be able to let go of this person again.
On the street, the number of pedestrians on the road gradually decreased, and the whole town slowly fell into sleep.
After Li Mu lay down for a while, he let go of the man's hands tightly clutching his clothes, and got up.
He was walking in the direction of the latrine, and within two steps, there was a pulling force behind him.
He was taken aback, and looked back, only to see Zhong Xiuyuan, who was wearing a single shirt, followed behind him at some point.
Zhong Xiuyuan obviously didn't wake up, his eyes were closed, it seemed more like he was doing things by instinct, and he was in a daze.
Li Mu was funny and angry, he just stayed up all night.
And this person was clearly asleep before, how did he find him up?
"You..." Li Mu originally wanted to persuade this person to go back to sleep, but he didn't want to go to the hut, but after he opened his mouth, he couldn't say the words that came to his lips.
Seeing this person who was going to follow him in a daze and fell asleep, Li Mu felt distressed, "Fool..."
Li Mu raised his hand and pinched this person's face. Originally, he also pinched Zhong Xiuyuan's face. At that time, although Zhong Xiuyuan had a serious face, his face was soft and fleshy, and the hand felt very good.
But now there is only a layer of skin left on the face under his hands, this man is terribly thin.
I don't know how long it will take to get back so thin.
Li Mu took the little tail to the hut, and then led the little tail back to the room, stuffed the person into the quilt that was still heated, and shrank in himself.
When Li Mu woke up again, the moment Li Mu opened his eyes, he met a pair of eyes as black as ink.
Li Mu was stunned for a moment, and then remembered what happened last night.
"Why didn't you wake me up?" Li Mu asked.
Zhong Xiuyuan blinked, as if he couldn't get enough of Li Mu, he reluctantly turned his eyes to look at the bed curtain, "I thought it was a dream."
After resting overnight and eating some porridge to supplement his strength, his voice has gradually recovered. Although it is still a little hoarse, he can already speak normally.
Li Mu, who was about to get up, lay back down again. He supported Zhong Xiuyuan's ear with one hand, bent down and kissed the person in front of him involuntarily.
Li Mu's warm breath domineeringly drove away the coldness on Zhong Xiuyuan's lips, kissing Zhong Xiuyuan until he was out of breath, and then he let go of the man in front of him with a thin layer of water vapor in his eyes.
"Are you dreaming?" Li Mu leaned very close, and he stared dangerously. If Zhong Xiuyuan dared to say yes, he would definitely kiss him again until he was breathless!
Zhong Xiuyuan raised his hand to cover his mouth in embarrassment, his face was flushed red, and even his ears turned purple.
With the other hand, Li Mu aggressively pulled away Zhong Xiuyuan's hand covering his mouth, and imprisoned both of his hands above his own head.
"I'm asking you something, do you think you're dreaming now?" Li Mu lowered his voice dangerously.
Li Mu's voice, Li Mu's breath, and Li Mu's fiery kiss all came together, causing Zhong Xiuyuan, who was sober, to be confused.
He only nodded instinctively, if it wasn't in a dream, why would Li Mumu press him on the bed to kiss him?
Li Mu is furious, this man!
Inexplicably, Li Mu leaned down and kissed this man's lips again. Originally, he was concerned about this man's weakness, so he reserved some strength, but now he is more overbearing, wishing to bite this man directly like this. Swallow it into your stomach, eat it and forget it!
Zhong Xiuyuan only felt that the scorching breath belonging to Li Mu rushed towards his face, and the air in his chest was taken away by Li Mu. Li Mu's tongue rubbed against his lips, looking for the entrance to penetrate into the depths of his soul.
Li Mu is domineering and unreasonable, he doesn't give him any chance to think and resist, he reads his soul, occupies his mind, but he is not satisfied, he even wants to take everything he has own.
Zhong Xiuyuan's eyelashes trembled under the scorching breath of the two of them, and his heart trembled accordingly. There were only two words left in his mind, Li Mu.
After a long time, Li Mu let go of the man who had forgotten to breathe. He looked down at the man he was tightly imprisoned from top to bottom, seeing his shortness of breath, his avoiding eyes, and his eyes. Everything is in sight.
"Is it still a dream?" Li Mu asked again.
Zhong Xiuyuan lowered his head, blushing slightly.
Li Mu relaxed the hands supporting his body, let his whole body be pressed on the person under him, and let the person under him feel his urgency at the moment.
Looking at Zhong Xiuyuan's flustered eyes because he felt something, a smirk flashed in Li Mu's eyes. He buried his head in Zhong Xiuyuan's ear and said softly in a voice that only Zhong Xiuyuan could hear: "Hungry!" Not hungry?"
Zhong Xiuyuan was already panicked, and he immediately raised his hand to push Li Mu after hearing this, but how could he push at this moment?
Li Mu grabbed his hand and hugged him in his arms, "Don't move around, or...you will be responsible for it yourself."
Zhong Xiuyuan was startled, his body stiffened immediately, and he didn't dare to move any more.
"That's good." Li Mu admired being bullied by him to the point of crying. He kissed the corner of the blushing man's mouth, and hugged him for a while. After recovering, he turned over and walked away from the place. Get off the person.
After getting up and having dinner, Li Mu led the man to the medical center to have a look. After confirming that the man had lost too much blood and was too weak, he led the man back to the inn and asked What the hell happened before.
After eating, he got two big steamed buns that he had been obsessed with, so Zhong Xiuyuan held one in each hand and told Li Mu about the previous incident.
Before he led a thousand-strong army straight into Yuan Guo, originally he was desperate to kill Yuan Guo's prestige, so as to force Yuan Guo to agree to negotiate peace.
It goes without saying that the risk of military action is risky, but it was the most effective method at the time.
The people who went with him that time, including him, went with the heart of escaping death. After killing all the way to the gate of Yuan Guoguo's capital, there were indeed only a few soldiers left with him.
Having achieved his goal, he led those people to flee for their lives, but Yuan Guo's people immediately sent heavy troops to search for them after the initial surprise.
Those people in Yuan Guo were afraid that he would reveal the previous things, so they not only sent troops on the surface, but also sent people to hunt him down secretly. He has been hiding everywhere for the past few months.
In the end, all the people who had followed him were all in Yuan Guo, and he was the only one who supported his seriously injured body with a will to not want to die, and fled around regardless of his embarrassment.
It wasn't until two months ago when the two countries opened up trade in accordance with the agreement that he finally found a chance to come back, but those people didn't let him go and chased him all the way to Daning disguised as a merchant.
He originally planned to come back directly to look for Li Mu, but if those people knew of Li Mu's existence, those people would definitely keep harassing Li Mu, and maybe even kill Li Mu to silence him.
He didn't want to hurt Li Mu, so he fled in the opposite direction for a long time, and he didn't go back until he got rid of those people completely.
When he brought a thousand-man army to Yuan country, he went there with the heart of a narrow escape. Although he was still alive in the end, at that time he was penniless and desperate.
When he was in Yuan Guo, he tried to find a way to get money, but as Yuan Guo's pursuers pressed on, he gradually had to avoid crowded places and choose some sparsely populated places to walk around.
Those places have one thing in common, that is, they are so poor that most people cannot afford to eat by themselves.
So he could only run for his life desperately, while trying to find a way to feed himself. When the weather was hotter, there were still some wild fruits in the mountains, but after it snowed, only snow remained in the mountains.
Later, he fled all the way back to Daning almost begging for food. After arriving in Daning, he went to receive porridge and steamed buns for disaster relief several times, but most of the time, in order to avoid those who chased and killed him, he would not I won't come out until I'm too hungry.
About half a month ago, he completely got rid of those people, so he simply pretended to be a refugee fleeing in this embarrassment, and walked back from the other side of Daning for food.
When Li Mu met him, he was really cold and tired at the time, so he huddled up on the corner of the street and fell asleep. Unexpectedly, when he woke up, he saw Li Mu.
Li Mu sat on the opposite side of the table, watching the person opposite with a bun in each hand scribbled a few words, and explained all the things during this period of time, and couldn't say a word for a while.
Zhong Xiuyuan was very satisfied, he held a bun in one hand, his eyes were shining, he looked at one and took a bite of another.
The meat buns that cost a few pennies just made him feel like a delicacy.
In the past, after he returned from Daning, he bought a lot of buns, but he couldn't find the taste of the buns that Li Mu gave him before.
But now the buns that Li Mu gave him had that kind of smell, and he couldn't tell what the smell was, but he just knew that the buns tasted the same as the buns at that time.
"Is it that delicious?" After a while, Li Mu spoke in a low voice.
Zhong Xiuyuan nodded earnestly, and after looking at Li Mu twice, he handed one of the two remaining buns to Li Mu and wanted to share it with Li Mu.
Li Mu didn't reach out to pick it up, but took a bite out of his hand.
The taste of this steamed stuffed bun was the same as the ones he had eaten before, and it wasn't even considered to be the delicious type of steamed buns he had eaten. The taste could only be described as average.
After eating Zhong Xiuyuan's buns, Li Mu raised his eyes and saw Zhong Xiuyuan's shining eyes looking at him.
"Well, it's delicious." Li Mu said something against his will with a blank face, "If you like it, we'll buy some later and put it away."
Li Mu's words obviously made Zhong Xiuyuan very happy, although he didn't look happy, but the love in those two eyes was very real.
Looking at Zhong Xiuyuan, who was immersed in the joy of reunion, Li Mu, who was meticulous and serious, felt bitterness in his throat again.
He stretched out his hand and gently stroked Zhong Xiuyuan's side face.
The love didn't know where it started and went deep, his liking might not be as vigorous as Zhong Xiuyuan's, but he was at ease with this person after all, he fell in love with him after all.
"Give me another bite." Li Mu said.
After Zhong Xiuyuan heard the words, he did not doubt that he had it, looked at the buns in his two hands, and handed the more leftover buns on the other side to Li Mu.
But Li Mu stood up, supported the table with one hand, hooked the back of Zhong Xiuyuan's neck with the other hand, put his lips together, and irresistibly snatched the bun from the man's mouth.
After eating the buns he wanted, Li Mu stuck out his tongue and licked the corner of his mouth, still wanting more.
Zhong Xiuyuan grabbed the bun and stared at it, his face was burning hot, he was a little puzzled what happened to Li Mumu in the past two days, why he was so motionless...
Zhong Xiuyuan was wondering when there was a knock on the door of the inn.
Li Mu got up and opened the door. The person standing outside the door was Master Qin who had come to invite him before.
It was only when he saw Master Qin Li Mu that he remembered the previous incident, because he was so happy to find Zhong Xiuyuan that he had already forgotten about it.
"Master Qin." Li Mu clasped his fists to apologize to him, but Master Qin waved his hand to tell Li Mu not to do so, then he closed the door with his backhand and entered the house.
After entering the room, seeing Zhong Xiuyuan sitting in front of the table, Master Qin stopped, and the smile on his face disappeared without a trace, leaving only a rare seriousness.
After being stunned for a moment, Master Qin took two steps forward and stood in front of Zhong Xiuyuan. He cupped his fists and bowed to Zhong Xiuyuan, "General Zhong..."
Master Qin's sudden action made Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan in the room startled.
However, after this obeisance, Master Qin even lifted the hem of his clothes again, knelt down facing Zhong Xiuyuan, and then rang his head three times, "Boom, Boom, Boom".
After hearing the voice, the two of them came back to their senses. Li Mu hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to pull the old master Qin up.
He understands the intention of Master Qin's move.Zhong Xiuyuan also understood Daning's great kindness.
Although he has never regarded himself as a member of Daning, Master Qin is a genuine member of Daning, so Zhong Xiuyuan can bear his worship, and he deserves it.
It is not an exaggeration to say that this 11-year long war ended in the hands of Zhong Xiuyuan alone.
So not only Master Qin, not only the people of Daning, but even the people of Yuan Guo, in front of these people, Zhong Xiuyuan could bear this obeisance, and he should also accept this obeisance.
He has no reason to refuse these for Zhong Xiuyuan, because this is what Zhong Xiuyuan deserves.
Li Mu backed away and stood aside, Zhong Xiuyuan also relaxed after the initial surprise.
He looked up at Li Mu, but he was talking to Master Qin, "You don't have to do this, I didn't do these things for you or for you."
He did all this for one person from beginning to end.
That person is not Master Qin in front of him, nor anyone from Daning, but the person in front of him who promised to buy him buns, and he only wants this person.
Master Qin was shocked when he heard the words, he raised his head and looked at Zhong Xiuyuan in front of him with extremely complicated eyes.
It is said in the world that General Zhong Zhai has a kind heart, and it is said that General Zhong is considerate of the world, but who would have thought that his benevolent heart, his consideration of the world, and his invincibility have always been only for this one person.
He loved and cared about only this one person.
Master Qin's eyes shifted to Li Mu's face, and at that moment, a bit of envy appeared on his face.
Although he has achieved a little success in business in his life, that's all.
Master Qin smiled wryly and shook his head. He had a wife and son in his family, which seemed to outsiders to be happiness and happiness, but at this moment he realized that he was actually envious of these two.
"I'd like to trouble Master Qin not to tell the truth about my return. Just pretend that General Zhong Xiuyuan is dead, and pretend that there is no more Zhong Xiuyuan in this world." Zhong Xiuyuan said.
He got what he asked for, and in the days to come, all he wanted was simple food and that person's company.
He didn't want to pay any attention to other things.
As soon as Zhong Xiuyuan said this, there was a moment of silence in the room. In the end, Li Mu broke the silence. He changed the subject and asked, "I don't know why Master Qin came here in person?"
Master Qin sighed silently, and after he took a deep look at Zhong Xiuyuan, he stood up from the ground.
As Zhong Xiuyuan said, he put all the things that happened just behind him, pretending that he hadn't discovered it.
"The reason why I came to you this time is because of the previous affairs of the Imperial Merchant." Master Qin said, "I already helped you get this quota, but you didn't go yesterday, so something happened."
Li Mu was slightly startled, Master Qin won this spot for him?Then something happened again?
"What's going on here?" Li Mu was puzzled.
"Anyway, you come with me now, and I'll tell you on the way." Master Qin said that he was about to take Li Mu out of the door, when Zhong Xiu Yuan saw it, and quickly stuffed all the buns in his hand into his mouth, and then drummed Standing up with cheeks.
"This..." Master Qin looked at Zhong Xiuyuan.
"Let's go together." Li Mu stretched out his hand to the side, and Zhong Xiuyuan hurried over to grab Li Mu's outstretched hand when he saw this.
Zhong Xiuyuan's body couldn't bear him to toss any more, he should have a good rest in the inn, but Li Mu knew that this man would not let him leave alone.
Seeing the two people's reluctance to separate for a moment, Master Qin shook his head helplessly, and then took the lead to take Li Mu downstairs, and while walking, he told Li Mu what happened before.
Last night was originally a banquet prepared by Master Qin for Li Mu, and it was also to officially introduce Li Mu to that lord. As a result, everyone else was in place, but Li Mu, the protagonist, did not come, so the eyes of those who can't eat grapes are naturally sour .
Those people made a fuss in the middle of the night. Although Master Qin was there to help, they finally persuaded the lord to give Li Mu another test to see if he could take on this important task.
In fact, the person that the lord is looking for now is just a person in charge of the hall in this area. It is not too much to say that it will be used multiple times, but I guess it is not a big deal to watch the excitement, so I half push it.
Probably because he had been squatting on the ground for too long, or maybe because his body was too weak, every time Zhong Xiuyuan took a step, his body wobbled, as if he was about to fall down at any time.
Supporting him to walk two steps, Li Mu couldn't bear it anymore, bent down, picked him up and went back to the inn.
After returning to the inn, Li Mu asked someone to bring hot water up, and took some money to the waiter in the shop, asking him to help him buy a suit of clothes that fit him back.
After dismissing the waiter, Li Mu closed the door, and he hugged the person who had been tugging on his sleeve to the side of the bucket.
He didn't know how this person had spent this period of time, so that he could become so skinny, leaving only a layer of skin and bones.
Zhong Xiuyuan is very obedient, since he saw Li Mu, he has been pulling Li Mu's clothes and looking at Li Mu, allowing Li Mu to do whatever he wants with him, allowing Li Mu to carry him back to the inn, and take off his clothes.
After taking off the colorless and somewhat foul-smelling clothes, Li Mu put the person into the bucket of warm water, and Zhong Xiuyuan flinched as soon as he entered.
"Is it hot?" Li Mu stretched out his hand to touch the water, the water temperature was just right, not too hot.
Zhong Xiuyuan didn't resist, he obediently let Li Mu put him in the water to soak.
After letting him go, Li Mu turned around to get a towel, but when Zhong Xiuyuan realized that he was about to leave, he tugged at his clothes nervously.
Seeing this, Li Mu's eyes flickered, he didn't say anything, he just turned his body sideways, extended his hand and hooked the towel over with his fingertips.
After wetting the sticky water with the towel in the water and wiping it off the man's body, he discovered that after the man was put into the water, the place where the man touched the water was scalded with a layer of pink.
Li Mu touched the water again, and only belatedly came to his senses.
This person doesn't know how long he has been wearing thin clothes in such a world of ice and snow. His body is probably too cold to feel. Although the temperature of the water in this bucket is not hot for Li Mu, it is still not hot for Li Mu. According to Zhong Xiuyuan, who was so cold that he lost consciousness, it should be as hot as boiling oil.
Li Mu's hand holding the towel trembled, and his face, which had been expressionless since seeing this person, showed signs of cracking.
"Are you stupid? You don't even know how to open your mouth..." Li Mu was originally going to ask this person why he was so stupid, but when he opened his mouth, he realized that his voice was even hoarse than Zhong Xiuyuan.
Li Mu looked at the person sitting in the bucket who was unwilling to let go of his hand, and kept looking at him with both eyes.
There was a burst of bitterness in his throat, and for a moment, thousands of words came out of his heart, but all the words turned into infinite bitterness and soreness under the gaze of this person's dark eyes.
Li Mu turned his head to the side, looking at the thin and tattered clothes thrown on the ground, and he turned his head after a long while.
"It's good to scald it, so as not to cause frostbite." Li Mu carefully dipped a towel in water, and cleaned the person in the bucket that was trembling with every movement he made.
Li Mu didn't put down the towel until he cleaned all the blood stains, dirt, and other unknown things on the person's body until the person's whole body was washed pink.
"Why don't you just go back?" Li Mu asked softly.
Zhong Xiuyuan in the barrel opened his mouth after hearing the words, as if reacting slowly. He tried to speak, but his throat interfered too much, and his voice was extremely hoarse.
"It's okay, let's talk about it later..." Li Mu's lips trembled slightly.
He rolled up his sleeves and fished the person in the water in front of him, let him sit down against the barrel wall in front of him, and then carefully helped him to wash the strips on his head that had been stained with dirt, mud and blood. s hair.
"I've already asked the waiter to prepare food. We'll eat after washing." Li Mu said softly while helping the person in front of him wash his hair.
The person sitting in front of him, holding the barrel wall with his hands and looking at him, was unwilling to close his eyes even if water flowed into his eyes.
Li Mu's movements became more and more careful, not letting the foam on the soap horns flow into his eyes.
Feeling the knotted grass-like hair in his palm, feeling the skinny body under his palm, Li Mu finally couldn't hold back, and reached out to hug this person.
After half a year of searching for no results, he even thought about the worst outcome...
Lying on the wall of the barrel, Zhong Xiuyuan, who obediently washed Li Mu's hair, felt Li Mu's hug. He had an ugly scar across half of his face, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
He also stretched out his hand, hugged Li Mu, and then patted Li Mu's back lightly, as if to comfort Li Mu.
After a long while, Li Mu regained his strength. He washed the man's hair and wiped off the water, and changed into the clothes that the waiter helped to buy.
After finishing all this, Li Mu took the porridge that the shop waiter had brought in and put on the table, and handed it to the person sitting on the bed.
Zhong Xiuyuan was really hungry, he took the porridge and fed it to his mouth without thinking about anything else.
Seeing his gobbling, Li Mu's throat became more and more bitter, "Slow down, don't worry, it's all yours."
While eating the porridge, Zhong Xiuyuan made a small sound with his nose, as if he was answering Li Mu's words, but also seemed to be just lamenting how delicious it was.
After eating a bowl of porridge, Zhong Xiuyuan licked the spoon dissatisfied, and looked at the table again.
Li Mu didn't give him any more food, but poured him a cup of hot water and took the bowl away, "I'll eat it later, eating too much is bad for the stomach."
Zhong Xiuyuan reluctantly let go of the bowl that was snatched by Li Mu, then put his eyes on Li Mu again, staring straight at Li Mu.
"Take a nap." Li Mu tried to put him on the bed for him to sleep, but Zhong Xiuyuan didn't want to lie down, but kept pulling him.
"...Hug..." Zhong Xiuyuan opened his mouth to say something, but because his voice was too hoarse, Li Mu couldn't hear it clearly.
"What?" Li Mu stretched out his hand to check the man's forehead, for fear that the man might be uncomfortable.
"...Hold...Hold..." Zhong Xiuyuan tried his best to speak. After eating a bowl of porridge, his body has gradually recovered, but he did not know what he had experienced before, and his body was really bad.
Li Mu's eyes were slightly red, and he stepped forward to hug this person in his arms a little funny, "Don't worry, I won't go anywhere in the future, and I will always be by your side from now on."
Zhong Xiuyuan was hugged by Li Mu again, his face that was pale because of his weakness did not know where the blood came from, but it was a little pink.
He looked at it for a while at a loss, then stretched out his arms to hug Li Mu, and after a while, he said, "Baozi..."
Li Mu said he would buy buns for him.
Li Mu's body paused slightly, and then he was amused, and at the same time his throat was sore, and he couldn't say a word for a while.
It seems that he has to be more careful in the future, lest this great general be tricked away with a steamed stuffed bun one day...
"Huh?" Zhong Xiuyuan sensed that something was wrong with Li Mu, he turned his head to try to see Li Mu's face clearly, but Li Mu didn't let go of him.
Zhong Xiuyuan struggled a little, but after failing to break free from Li Mu's embrace, he obediently put his head on Li Mu's shoulder, and quietly felt the breath of Li Mu's hug and the warmth of Li Mu's body.
Zhong Xiuyuan was extremely tired these days, feeling the breath and temperature that made him miss his peace of mind at this moment, his eyes couldn't hold on any longer, and he closed them slowly.
However, at this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, and a voice said, "Boss Li, I am someone sent by Master Qin. I have something to talk to you about."
Hearing the voice outside the door, Zhong Xiuyuan instinctively opened his eyes, and reflexively hugged the person in his arms tightly, for fear that the person he found with great difficulty would disappear again.
"Don't be afraid, I won't go." Li Mu patted Zhong Xiuyuan on the back, but Zhong Xiuyuan didn't let go.
Li Mu felt helpless, so he sat on the bed and said to the person outside the door, "Come in!"
Hearing the words, the person outside the door hastily opened the door and came in. After entering the door, seeing the two people sitting on the bed hugging each other, he looked slightly puzzled, and then turned his head away.
"What's the matter?" Li Mu maintained the posture of hugging Zhong Xiuyuan. Zhong Xiuyuan, who was already extremely sleepy and tired, hugged Li Mu tightly, and stared at the man defensively, as if he was afraid that Li Mu would be snatched away. .
"Master Qin has something to do with him. He asked me to invite you over there." After thinking about it, the man added, "It's about the imperial business. I came to see Boss Li in the afternoon, but Boss Li has never returned to the inn."
Royal merchants?Li Mu was a little puzzled, why did Master Qin tell him about this now?
"Master Qin should have been waiting impatiently, Boss Li..." The person who came to invite Li Mu hesitated to speak.
Zhong Xiuyuan listened to what the two said, and immediately pulled Li Mu tighter.
In fact, up to now, he still doesn't believe that the scene in front of him is real.
He was sleepy, tired, hungry and cold. During the several months of fleeing, reality and dreams had become somewhat blurred to him. He had faced life and death many times. If it wasn't for Li Mu supporting him, he would have died long ago. .
The moment he woke up, he heard Li Mu's voice, and when he looked up, he saw Li Mu standing next to him. All of this had happened in front of him more than once, but every time he woke up, there was nothing.
In the past six or seven months, this kind of thing has been repeated countless times in front of him. He is afraid, really afraid.
It's just that this time everything was extra real. Li Mu hugged him, Li Mu bathed him, Li Mu washed his hair, and Li Mu promised him that he would never leave him again...
Even if it was a dream, Zhong Xiuyuan didn't want to wake up from this dream for a moment.
Li Mu noticed the small movements of the person in his arms, and the bitterness and helplessness in his eyes became even worse, "Please tell Master Qin for me that I can't go for the time being, and I will definitely come to the door to apologize in the future."
Hearing Li Mu's words, the man became a little anxious, "Boss Li, just come with us, Master Qin asked us to come to you a few hours ago, all of this..."
Li Mu hugged the person in his arms, and said in a slightly cold tone, "You tell Master Qin that I have an old friend back and I can't escape for the time being, he will understand."
The man originally wanted to say something, but when he saw the cold beast-like eyes of the man in Li Mu's arms, he felt a chill down his spine, and staggered back and left the room.
002.
In the Qin mansion where the banquet was decorated with lanterns, Master Qin was the second seat, rolled up his sleeves and raised a wine glass to pour wine with the person sitting next to him.
"My lord, please wait a moment, I have already sent someone to find someone." Master Qin couldn't help but have a headache while laughing with him, where did this kid Li Mu go?
This great opportunity, he managed to get this kid on board, but in the end he himself disappeared in the blink of an eye.
This was supposed to be a banquet set up for him, but now the adults beside him are all here, but Li Mu is still missing.
"Huh!" The middle-aged man on the first place raised his glass and took a sip, but snorted coldly, "Didn't you say that this surnamed Li knows how to advance and retreat, why don't I look like it?"
If it is said that Li Mu's actions made him have a good impression before, then Li Mu's good impression in front of him now has completely fallen to the bottom.
Master Qin quickly apologized when he heard the words, "I think there must be some delays, my lord, please forgive me."
Listening to the conversation between Master Qin and that lord, the people who stayed beside him at the table would inevitably say a few sarcastic remarks.
"This man is unreliable, he is a young man after all!" An older man said meaningfully.
"What I said is wrong. Whether it is reliable or not is not judged by age but by character. If a person's character is not good enough, no matter how old he is, he will be useless."
"You don't have to be like this, maybe that little friend is really delayed by something, otherwise why would he let this adult wait for him?"
"It's not sure if it's true or it's a fake show..."
Now most of the people at this table came to participate in the rally, but they were not selected, so the sarcastic words of Feng Feng were naturally a bit sour.
Master Qin's heart sank, but he still had a smile on his face.
He was about to say a few good words to the lord in the first seat, when he saw the person he sent hurried in from the door.
"What's the matter?" Master Qin hurriedly turned his head and asked, the man bent down and raised his hand to cover his mouth and whispered something in his ear.
After hearing what the man said, Master Qin couldn't hold a smile on his face.
"What?" Seeing this, the people next to him immediately smelled something, and hurriedly booed, "Did something happen?"
The adult in the lead couldn't help but look back at Master Qin, hoping that he could give an explanation.
Master Qin's expression changed instantly after hearing what his subordinates brought back. He is a smart man, and it didn't take long for him to understand what Li Mu meant by "an old friend returns".
He knew very well that Zhong Xiuyuan, the great general of Yuan State, lived with Li Mu on the mountain before. He was surprised that Zhong Xiuyuan suddenly surrendered to Daning and led troops to fight for Daning. Later, Zhong Xiuyuan disappeared without a trace, and Li Mu I also asked him to go to Yuan Guo to find someone...
After six or seven months passed, everyone thought that Zhong Xiuyuan had died in that battle. Although he kept sending people to look for him, he actually thought so in his heart.
Now Li Mu's words mean that Zhong Xiuyuan is back?
But how did he come back?
Master Qin's expression changed again and again, and he only came back to his senses when he heard the adult next to him ask how he was doing.
"He's delayed by some things, and he may not be able to make it through tonight." Master Qin didn't have time to think about whether Li Mu was talking about Zhong Xiuyuan, and now he had to put all his energy on this banquet.
After hearing Master Qin's words, the people at the banquet immediately exploded. Originally, they were dissatisfied that such a brat like Li Mu had robbed them of their seats, but now that he didn't come, of course they couldn't say anything good.
Master Qin smiled wryly, but he could only bite the bullet and help Li Mu speak.
In the inn, after Li Mu sent the person who came to deliver the letter away, he laid down on the bed with his clothes on and hugged him.
"Go to sleep, have a good night's rest, we'll talk about what we have tomorrow." Li Mu hugged the man in his arms and told him to go to bed quickly.
He didn't know what Zhong Xiuyuan had experienced along the way, but this person's body really owed too much, if he hadn't been holding on because of seeing him, he might have already passed out.
When Zhong Xiuyuan heard the words, he grabbed Li Mu's clothes tightly again, and then kept looking at Li Mu in front of him.
After an unknown amount of time, his eyes slowly closed as if weighing a thousand catties.
Li Mu didn't dare to make any movements, and maintained a movement until the man fell asleep.
Taking advantage of the faint moonlight outside the house, Li Mu looked at the person in front of him who would hug him and not let go while sleeping, who would always wake up in shock, and would only sleep again when he saw him.
After washing, Zhong Xiuyuan looked thinner and thinner, and his face had long since lost the handsomeness and beauty of the past, especially the new scar on his face, which made his whole body look thinner. A bit hideous and terrifying.
The location of the scar was shocking even Li Mu looked at it now.
Because the scar started from Zhong Xiuyuan's left forehead, crossed the corner of the eye and nose, and slid straight to the right cheek. It was as long as a palm. Although it was not wide, it almost crossed the eye.
Li Mu didn't dare to think about the location of the scar. If it shifted a little further, would he be able to see this person again now.
This person wakes up tomorrow, and he must ask about the matter during this period of time...
Li Mu raised his head slightly, and planted a kiss on the forehead of the person who never forgot to hold him while he was asleep. He feared that he would never be able to let go of this person again.
On the street, the number of pedestrians on the road gradually decreased, and the whole town slowly fell into sleep.
After Li Mu lay down for a while, he let go of the man's hands tightly clutching his clothes, and got up.
He was walking in the direction of the latrine, and within two steps, there was a pulling force behind him.
He was taken aback, and looked back, only to see Zhong Xiuyuan, who was wearing a single shirt, followed behind him at some point.
Zhong Xiuyuan obviously didn't wake up, his eyes were closed, it seemed more like he was doing things by instinct, and he was in a daze.
Li Mu was funny and angry, he just stayed up all night.
And this person was clearly asleep before, how did he find him up?
"You..." Li Mu originally wanted to persuade this person to go back to sleep, but he didn't want to go to the hut, but after he opened his mouth, he couldn't say the words that came to his lips.
Seeing this person who was going to follow him in a daze and fell asleep, Li Mu felt distressed, "Fool..."
Li Mu raised his hand and pinched this person's face. Originally, he also pinched Zhong Xiuyuan's face. At that time, although Zhong Xiuyuan had a serious face, his face was soft and fleshy, and the hand felt very good.
But now there is only a layer of skin left on the face under his hands, this man is terribly thin.
I don't know how long it will take to get back so thin.
Li Mu took the little tail to the hut, and then led the little tail back to the room, stuffed the person into the quilt that was still heated, and shrank in himself.
When Li Mu woke up again, the moment Li Mu opened his eyes, he met a pair of eyes as black as ink.
Li Mu was stunned for a moment, and then remembered what happened last night.
"Why didn't you wake me up?" Li Mu asked.
Zhong Xiuyuan blinked, as if he couldn't get enough of Li Mu, he reluctantly turned his eyes to look at the bed curtain, "I thought it was a dream."
After resting overnight and eating some porridge to supplement his strength, his voice has gradually recovered. Although it is still a little hoarse, he can already speak normally.
Li Mu, who was about to get up, lay back down again. He supported Zhong Xiuyuan's ear with one hand, bent down and kissed the person in front of him involuntarily.
Li Mu's warm breath domineeringly drove away the coldness on Zhong Xiuyuan's lips, kissing Zhong Xiuyuan until he was out of breath, and then he let go of the man in front of him with a thin layer of water vapor in his eyes.
"Are you dreaming?" Li Mu leaned very close, and he stared dangerously. If Zhong Xiuyuan dared to say yes, he would definitely kiss him again until he was breathless!
Zhong Xiuyuan raised his hand to cover his mouth in embarrassment, his face was flushed red, and even his ears turned purple.
With the other hand, Li Mu aggressively pulled away Zhong Xiuyuan's hand covering his mouth, and imprisoned both of his hands above his own head.
"I'm asking you something, do you think you're dreaming now?" Li Mu lowered his voice dangerously.
Li Mu's voice, Li Mu's breath, and Li Mu's fiery kiss all came together, causing Zhong Xiuyuan, who was sober, to be confused.
He only nodded instinctively, if it wasn't in a dream, why would Li Mumu press him on the bed to kiss him?
Li Mu is furious, this man!
Inexplicably, Li Mu leaned down and kissed this man's lips again. Originally, he was concerned about this man's weakness, so he reserved some strength, but now he is more overbearing, wishing to bite this man directly like this. Swallow it into your stomach, eat it and forget it!
Zhong Xiuyuan only felt that the scorching breath belonging to Li Mu rushed towards his face, and the air in his chest was taken away by Li Mu. Li Mu's tongue rubbed against his lips, looking for the entrance to penetrate into the depths of his soul.
Li Mu is domineering and unreasonable, he doesn't give him any chance to think and resist, he reads his soul, occupies his mind, but he is not satisfied, he even wants to take everything he has own.
Zhong Xiuyuan's eyelashes trembled under the scorching breath of the two of them, and his heart trembled accordingly. There were only two words left in his mind, Li Mu.
After a long time, Li Mu let go of the man who had forgotten to breathe. He looked down at the man he was tightly imprisoned from top to bottom, seeing his shortness of breath, his avoiding eyes, and his eyes. Everything is in sight.
"Is it still a dream?" Li Mu asked again.
Zhong Xiuyuan lowered his head, blushing slightly.
Li Mu relaxed the hands supporting his body, let his whole body be pressed on the person under him, and let the person under him feel his urgency at the moment.
Looking at Zhong Xiuyuan's flustered eyes because he felt something, a smirk flashed in Li Mu's eyes. He buried his head in Zhong Xiuyuan's ear and said softly in a voice that only Zhong Xiuyuan could hear: "Hungry!" Not hungry?"
Zhong Xiuyuan was already panicked, and he immediately raised his hand to push Li Mu after hearing this, but how could he push at this moment?
Li Mu grabbed his hand and hugged him in his arms, "Don't move around, or...you will be responsible for it yourself."
Zhong Xiuyuan was startled, his body stiffened immediately, and he didn't dare to move any more.
"That's good." Li Mu admired being bullied by him to the point of crying. He kissed the corner of the blushing man's mouth, and hugged him for a while. After recovering, he turned over and walked away from the place. Get off the person.
After getting up and having dinner, Li Mu led the man to the medical center to have a look. After confirming that the man had lost too much blood and was too weak, he led the man back to the inn and asked What the hell happened before.
After eating, he got two big steamed buns that he had been obsessed with, so Zhong Xiuyuan held one in each hand and told Li Mu about the previous incident.
Before he led a thousand-strong army straight into Yuan Guo, originally he was desperate to kill Yuan Guo's prestige, so as to force Yuan Guo to agree to negotiate peace.
It goes without saying that the risk of military action is risky, but it was the most effective method at the time.
The people who went with him that time, including him, went with the heart of escaping death. After killing all the way to the gate of Yuan Guoguo's capital, there were indeed only a few soldiers left with him.
Having achieved his goal, he led those people to flee for their lives, but Yuan Guo's people immediately sent heavy troops to search for them after the initial surprise.
Those people in Yuan Guo were afraid that he would reveal the previous things, so they not only sent troops on the surface, but also sent people to hunt him down secretly. He has been hiding everywhere for the past few months.
In the end, all the people who had followed him were all in Yuan Guo, and he was the only one who supported his seriously injured body with a will to not want to die, and fled around regardless of his embarrassment.
It wasn't until two months ago when the two countries opened up trade in accordance with the agreement that he finally found a chance to come back, but those people didn't let him go and chased him all the way to Daning disguised as a merchant.
He originally planned to come back directly to look for Li Mu, but if those people knew of Li Mu's existence, those people would definitely keep harassing Li Mu, and maybe even kill Li Mu to silence him.
He didn't want to hurt Li Mu, so he fled in the opposite direction for a long time, and he didn't go back until he got rid of those people completely.
When he brought a thousand-man army to Yuan country, he went there with the heart of a narrow escape. Although he was still alive in the end, at that time he was penniless and desperate.
When he was in Yuan Guo, he tried to find a way to get money, but as Yuan Guo's pursuers pressed on, he gradually had to avoid crowded places and choose some sparsely populated places to walk around.
Those places have one thing in common, that is, they are so poor that most people cannot afford to eat by themselves.
So he could only run for his life desperately, while trying to find a way to feed himself. When the weather was hotter, there were still some wild fruits in the mountains, but after it snowed, only snow remained in the mountains.
Later, he fled all the way back to Daning almost begging for food. After arriving in Daning, he went to receive porridge and steamed buns for disaster relief several times, but most of the time, in order to avoid those who chased and killed him, he would not I won't come out until I'm too hungry.
About half a month ago, he completely got rid of those people, so he simply pretended to be a refugee fleeing in this embarrassment, and walked back from the other side of Daning for food.
When Li Mu met him, he was really cold and tired at the time, so he huddled up on the corner of the street and fell asleep. Unexpectedly, when he woke up, he saw Li Mu.
Li Mu sat on the opposite side of the table, watching the person opposite with a bun in each hand scribbled a few words, and explained all the things during this period of time, and couldn't say a word for a while.
Zhong Xiuyuan was very satisfied, he held a bun in one hand, his eyes were shining, he looked at one and took a bite of another.
The meat buns that cost a few pennies just made him feel like a delicacy.
In the past, after he returned from Daning, he bought a lot of buns, but he couldn't find the taste of the buns that Li Mu gave him before.
But now the buns that Li Mu gave him had that kind of smell, and he couldn't tell what the smell was, but he just knew that the buns tasted the same as the buns at that time.
"Is it that delicious?" After a while, Li Mu spoke in a low voice.
Zhong Xiuyuan nodded earnestly, and after looking at Li Mu twice, he handed one of the two remaining buns to Li Mu and wanted to share it with Li Mu.
Li Mu didn't reach out to pick it up, but took a bite out of his hand.
The taste of this steamed stuffed bun was the same as the ones he had eaten before, and it wasn't even considered to be the delicious type of steamed buns he had eaten. The taste could only be described as average.
After eating Zhong Xiuyuan's buns, Li Mu raised his eyes and saw Zhong Xiuyuan's shining eyes looking at him.
"Well, it's delicious." Li Mu said something against his will with a blank face, "If you like it, we'll buy some later and put it away."
Li Mu's words obviously made Zhong Xiuyuan very happy, although he didn't look happy, but the love in those two eyes was very real.
Looking at Zhong Xiuyuan, who was immersed in the joy of reunion, Li Mu, who was meticulous and serious, felt bitterness in his throat again.
He stretched out his hand and gently stroked Zhong Xiuyuan's side face.
The love didn't know where it started and went deep, his liking might not be as vigorous as Zhong Xiuyuan's, but he was at ease with this person after all, he fell in love with him after all.
"Give me another bite." Li Mu said.
After Zhong Xiuyuan heard the words, he did not doubt that he had it, looked at the buns in his two hands, and handed the more leftover buns on the other side to Li Mu.
But Li Mu stood up, supported the table with one hand, hooked the back of Zhong Xiuyuan's neck with the other hand, put his lips together, and irresistibly snatched the bun from the man's mouth.
After eating the buns he wanted, Li Mu stuck out his tongue and licked the corner of his mouth, still wanting more.
Zhong Xiuyuan grabbed the bun and stared at it, his face was burning hot, he was a little puzzled what happened to Li Mumu in the past two days, why he was so motionless...
Zhong Xiuyuan was wondering when there was a knock on the door of the inn.
Li Mu got up and opened the door. The person standing outside the door was Master Qin who had come to invite him before.
It was only when he saw Master Qin Li Mu that he remembered the previous incident, because he was so happy to find Zhong Xiuyuan that he had already forgotten about it.
"Master Qin." Li Mu clasped his fists to apologize to him, but Master Qin waved his hand to tell Li Mu not to do so, then he closed the door with his backhand and entered the house.
After entering the room, seeing Zhong Xiuyuan sitting in front of the table, Master Qin stopped, and the smile on his face disappeared without a trace, leaving only a rare seriousness.
After being stunned for a moment, Master Qin took two steps forward and stood in front of Zhong Xiuyuan. He cupped his fists and bowed to Zhong Xiuyuan, "General Zhong..."
Master Qin's sudden action made Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan in the room startled.
However, after this obeisance, Master Qin even lifted the hem of his clothes again, knelt down facing Zhong Xiuyuan, and then rang his head three times, "Boom, Boom, Boom".
After hearing the voice, the two of them came back to their senses. Li Mu hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to pull the old master Qin up.
He understands the intention of Master Qin's move.Zhong Xiuyuan also understood Daning's great kindness.
Although he has never regarded himself as a member of Daning, Master Qin is a genuine member of Daning, so Zhong Xiuyuan can bear his worship, and he deserves it.
It is not an exaggeration to say that this 11-year long war ended in the hands of Zhong Xiuyuan alone.
So not only Master Qin, not only the people of Daning, but even the people of Yuan Guo, in front of these people, Zhong Xiuyuan could bear this obeisance, and he should also accept this obeisance.
He has no reason to refuse these for Zhong Xiuyuan, because this is what Zhong Xiuyuan deserves.
Li Mu backed away and stood aside, Zhong Xiuyuan also relaxed after the initial surprise.
He looked up at Li Mu, but he was talking to Master Qin, "You don't have to do this, I didn't do these things for you or for you."
He did all this for one person from beginning to end.
That person is not Master Qin in front of him, nor anyone from Daning, but the person in front of him who promised to buy him buns, and he only wants this person.
Master Qin was shocked when he heard the words, he raised his head and looked at Zhong Xiuyuan in front of him with extremely complicated eyes.
It is said in the world that General Zhong Zhai has a kind heart, and it is said that General Zhong is considerate of the world, but who would have thought that his benevolent heart, his consideration of the world, and his invincibility have always been only for this one person.
He loved and cared about only this one person.
Master Qin's eyes shifted to Li Mu's face, and at that moment, a bit of envy appeared on his face.
Although he has achieved a little success in business in his life, that's all.
Master Qin smiled wryly and shook his head. He had a wife and son in his family, which seemed to outsiders to be happiness and happiness, but at this moment he realized that he was actually envious of these two.
"I'd like to trouble Master Qin not to tell the truth about my return. Just pretend that General Zhong Xiuyuan is dead, and pretend that there is no more Zhong Xiuyuan in this world." Zhong Xiuyuan said.
He got what he asked for, and in the days to come, all he wanted was simple food and that person's company.
He didn't want to pay any attention to other things.
As soon as Zhong Xiuyuan said this, there was a moment of silence in the room. In the end, Li Mu broke the silence. He changed the subject and asked, "I don't know why Master Qin came here in person?"
Master Qin sighed silently, and after he took a deep look at Zhong Xiuyuan, he stood up from the ground.
As Zhong Xiuyuan said, he put all the things that happened just behind him, pretending that he hadn't discovered it.
"The reason why I came to you this time is because of the previous affairs of the Imperial Merchant." Master Qin said, "I already helped you get this quota, but you didn't go yesterday, so something happened."
Li Mu was slightly startled, Master Qin won this spot for him?Then something happened again?
"What's going on here?" Li Mu was puzzled.
"Anyway, you come with me now, and I'll tell you on the way." Master Qin said that he was about to take Li Mu out of the door, when Zhong Xiu Yuan saw it, and quickly stuffed all the buns in his hand into his mouth, and then drummed Standing up with cheeks.
"This..." Master Qin looked at Zhong Xiuyuan.
"Let's go together." Li Mu stretched out his hand to the side, and Zhong Xiuyuan hurried over to grab Li Mu's outstretched hand when he saw this.
Zhong Xiuyuan's body couldn't bear him to toss any more, he should have a good rest in the inn, but Li Mu knew that this man would not let him leave alone.
Seeing the two people's reluctance to separate for a moment, Master Qin shook his head helplessly, and then took the lead to take Li Mu downstairs, and while walking, he told Li Mu what happened before.
Last night was originally a banquet prepared by Master Qin for Li Mu, and it was also to officially introduce Li Mu to that lord. As a result, everyone else was in place, but Li Mu, the protagonist, did not come, so the eyes of those who can't eat grapes are naturally sour .
Those people made a fuss in the middle of the night. Although Master Qin was there to help, they finally persuaded the lord to give Li Mu another test to see if he could take on this important task.
In fact, the person that the lord is looking for now is just a person in charge of the hall in this area. It is not too much to say that it will be used multiple times, but I guess it is not a big deal to watch the excitement, so I half push it.
