Wife is an enemy general

001.

The two of them originally planned to turn back the next day after delivering the goods, but who knew that it took three or four days to get on the road this time.

Master Qin will stay here for a while, because he still has a lot of goods that need to be collected and handed over.

After saying goodbye to Master Qin, Li Mu drove the carriage as usual, and wandered out of the city with the people.

After driving the carriage to the official road, Li Mu put down the reins in his hand, turned around, opened the curtain, and looked at Zhong Xiuyuan who was inside the carriage.

"Not feeling well?" Li Mu asked.

Inside the carriage, Zhong Xiuyuan sat in the carriage in a daze and opened the curtain to look out the window. Seeing Li Mu looking inside the carriage, he lowered the curtain to look at Li Mu.

After hearing Li Mu's question, Zhong Xiuyuan shook his head uncomfortably.

That day they were supposed to set off to go back in the morning, but this man suddenly went crazy, which made him unable to go out for two days.

Thinking about it now, Zhong Xiuyuan couldn't help blushing.

"Sleep for a while if you're not feeling well, I'll call you when you get home." Li Mu put down the car curtain.

Thinking of the previous events, Li Mu thought of the incident that night that this person could not even recognize him. Although he had already taught this person a good lesson and made this person have a long memory, he still felt a little uncomfortable when he thought of this incident. Comfortable.

It gave him the urge to get into the car again and let this person have a long memory.

Thinking that when he heard the word Zhong Xiuyuan before, what appeared in his mind was that powerful and intelligent figure like a god, who knew it would be such a fool!

Fortunately, this person still remembered the word Li Mu, otherwise he would never know when he was cheated away!

On the way back, the weather had gradually cooled down.

From the end of August to the beginning of September, the weather has officially entered autumn.

They are cold in winter and hot in summer, and autumn is not so obvious.

It's not impossible to see it, but the season of autumn passes very quickly.

I often feel that it is only in autumn that the weather cools down. In the blink of an eye, all the leaves in the mountains have fallen.

This year was like this. Before Li Mu left, he still felt that the mountains and plains were full of lush green leaves full of vitality.

But it took about a month or so before and after, and when they came back here, the mountains were already covered with withered yellow color.

Most of the leaves on the mountains where their house used to be have fallen off, leaving only the ugly ground, which looks rather bleak and desolate.

Among the deeper mountains behind these mountains, there is even a piece of withered and yellow handover, like a wreck after the duel between Xia and Qiu.

The carriage couldn't go up the mountain, so Li Mu stopped the carriage after reaching the town.Zhong Xiuyuan, who was on the side, had already seen the town. After Li Mu stopped the carriage, he walked out with the luggage on his back.

Li Mu got out of the car one step ahead of him, seeing Zhong Xiuyuan coming out beside him, he stretched out his hand to pick up the luggage.

It has been almost a year since the war stopped, and the changes in Aoki are very big, almost every day.

The wharf and Anfu are slightly smaller, and the same is true in their town, not much has changed, but when I come back after a month, I can vaguely see some differences.

Although the mountains are already quite bleak, the streets are full of people coming and going, shops and hawkers are next to each other, shouting, very lively.

On the way back, Li Mu also saw many people from Orion Village who came from the deep mountains on the street, picking up some furs and selling them.

That thing is quite rare here, at least they haven't seen it in the past few years, and many people gathered around to watch the fun.

Li Mu was also somewhat interested. If that thing could be made into a leather jacket, it would be much warmer than ordinary cloth.

They lived on the mountain again, and the wind in the mountain was very strong in winter, and what he disliked the most was the freezing winter.

Standing beside the carriage, Li Mu stretched out his hand towards the people in the carriage to pick up their luggage, but turned his head to the hunter stalls selling animal skins, planning to go and have a look after leaving the carriage at the post station.

After waiting for a while, Li Mu didn't find anything in his hands, so he looked back again, only to see that the person in the carriage was stretching out his hand towards him with blushing cheeks, as if he was about to fall down.

Li Mu was taken aback, and quickly grabbed the man's hand, "What?"

Zhong Xiuyuan was also taken aback by Li Mu.

He was going out of the car with his things and was about to get out of the car, but when he got to the side of the car, he saw Li Mu stretching out his hands to him, as if he wanted to hug him.

At that moment Zhong Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, he looked at Li Muhou who stretched out his hand to him in front of him, and after a long while, he slowly approached at a loss.

The height of the carriage is not a problem for him and Li Mu, even if he jumps off by himself, there will be no problem at all.

But most of the time, they would habitually stretch out their hands to pull or help each other, like Li Mu stretched out his hands to hug him now, only when he just came back, when he was weak.

On the carriage, Zhong Xiuyuan was approaching Li Mu at a loss, when he saw Li Mu suddenly turned his head back, and then withdrew his embrace again.

Zhong Xiuyuan, who was already planning to lean over, was stunned for a moment, feeling inexplicably lost in his heart.

"What's wrong?" Li Mu reached out to grab the luggage in Zhong Xiuyuan's hand.

"It's okay." Zhong Xiuyuan handed over the luggage.

After getting off the carriage and leaving the carriage at the post station, the two headed towards the mountain.

When I went up the mountain, the door of the house on the mountain was wide open, but I didn't see anyone.

The two put their luggage in the main room, and they didn't see Zhongman Road when they walked around the room. They were wondering why he didn't close the door when he was not at home, when they saw Ma Yi coming with his hands dangling behind his back.

After entering the door, Ma Yi saw the two of them and said hello, "I'm back!"

After finishing speaking, before Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan could say anything, Ma Yi, who was at the side, had already entered the room with his old god, and poured himself a cup of tea.

Li Mu was slightly surprised when he saw this person who thought he would never come again, "What are you doing here?"

Li Mu originally thought that after going through what happened before, people like Ma Yi would definitely not come to him again, at least they would not want to see him again. Sneaked here?

Ma Yi was also a little embarrassed when facing Li Mu, but he quickly suppressed that embarrassment.

"I came here this time to look for you." Ma Yi raised his finger to Zhong Xiuyuan next to him, and before the two of them were surprised, Ma Yi said again: "If I guess correctly, you should be the one who disappeared for a long time. General Zhong?"

Hearing Ma Yi's words, Zhong Xiuyuan and Li Mu looked at each other, and their expressions became a little ugly in an instant.

They have been avoiding this matter from being known by others. How could Ma Yi know?

"I don't know what you're talking about." Zhong Xiuyuan glanced at Ma Yi, walked to the door and closed it.

The official Ma Yi said big or small, but Zhong Xiuyuan and Li Mu really didn't expect this person to check them, and he really did.

Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan don't know much about Ma Yi, so what is the purpose of this person coming to them now?

"You don't need to look at me with that kind of eyes, I'm not here to find fault." Ma Yi sat down on the stool leisurely, unmoved.

Zhong Xiuyuan was a little nervous, "Then what do you want to do?"

He abandoned Zhong Xiuyuan's reputation as General Zhong and came here because he didn't want to get involved with the previous things. Now Ma Yi suddenly mentioned that if he said he had no purpose, Zhong Xiuyuan really didn't believe it. .

"I came here for two things. The first thing is to tell you that I can help you hide your identity." Ma Yi raised his hand mysteriously and shook his fingers. "The second thing, I hope he can put Give me back that painting from before."

When talking about the first thing, Ma Yi could still hold back the mystery, but when talking about the second thing, he was already furious.

He didn't want to find out Zhong Xiuyuan's identity at first. He was a little confused at first, but he didn't think about it. Finding Zhong Xiuyuan was purely accidental.

The main reason is that the time when Zhong Xiuyuan disappeared from Li Mu and the time when the rumored general appeared were too coincidental.

The time when he first appeared in this mountain, the time when he disappeared later, the time when General Zhong Xiuyuan appeared, the time when General Zhong Xiuyuan disappeared, plus the extra scar on his face, In addition, Lin Yun appeared here before.

All these things and these coincidences were gathered together, and with some speculation, Ma Yi quickly guessed his identity.

He couldn't believe it at first, but it wasn't until he saw the expressions on the faces of these two people when he said the words just now that he was really convinced that the person in front of him was really General Zhong Xiu Yuan Zhong.

After confirming Zhong Xiuyuan's identity, Ma Yi had complicated emotions when he looked at the man with a scar on his face.

The reputation of General Zhong Xiu Yuan Zhong is not only well known in Yuan Guo, but also in their Daning.

Not to mention the reasons for it, even if his outstanding achievements are ignored, just looking at his contribution to the signing of the truce between the two countries in the end is enough to make Ma Yi admire him!

The ignorant people outside were angry and disdainful of Zhong Xiuyuan's actions, but none of the people in the court, who could know the details of this battle, would think about it like that.

Perhaps Zhong Xiuyuan was indeed a traitor to Yuan Guo, but to them, Daning, he was a real benefactor.

If it wasn't because Zhong Xiuyuan was on the border to help them lead troops to suppress Yuan Guo, the late emperor Lin Hong would not have returned to the palace so smoothly, and it would have been even more impossible to sign an armistice agreement with Yuan Guo so quickly.

After Zhong Xiuyuan's feat, he disappeared completely without a trace. Many people in the Daning Dynasty regretted it, and Ma Yi was naturally one of them.

But he never expected that he would be lucky enough to see Zhong Xiuyuan again, and it was still like this.

Ma Yi looked at Zhong Xiuyuan in front of him with a complicated expression. He is a person who cherishes and respects talents.

When he was young, he also envied and worshiped Zhong Xiuyuan's strength. To him, Zhong Xiuyuan has always been a god-like existence, elusive and unattainable.

But it is such a person who exists like a god that cannot be reached, he is willing to bow under a man, and he is still hidden from the world, living in such a desolate mountain village, raising ducks with others...

Thinking of this incident, Ma Yi felt extremely regretful in his heart. He felt that Zhong Xiuyuan was not worth it.

A character like him, even if he no longer fights on the battlefield, he should be honored and worshiped, not a mediocre man in ordinary clothes like he is now.

Ma Yi felt extremely unworthy in his heart, but when he turned his head and looked at Li Mu who was beside him with a calm face, the unworthy feeling in his heart for Zhong Xiuyuan was instantly defeated and dissipated.

If it was someone else, if Zhong Xiuyuan fell in love with someone else, he would definitely stand up and say something that was not worth it, but if this person is Li Mu...

Ma Yi looked at Li Mu with a complicated expression. He had thousands of words to say in his heart, but just like the previous time, just because the person standing in front of him was Li Mu, all his words turned into a cloud of mist and disappeared without a trace. .

002.

Ma Yi looked at the person in front of him who had cheated him of a painting in confusion, only thinking that even Zhong Xiuyuan, whom he once admired, was subdued by him, made him extremely annoyed.

"What on earth do you want?" Li Mu sat opposite him, looking at the coward in front of him who seemed to want to rush up and take a bite, but was afraid of being beaten up by him.

Ma Yi looked at Li Mu in front of him, and after a long time, he said with great displeasure: "I can help him create a fake identity so that people can't detect it, but you have to give me back my painting from before."

He felt sorry for Zhong Xiuyuan, but he felt sorry for his own painting even more.

If this painting was given to Zhong Xiuyuan, even if he really felt sorry for him, he would definitely bear the pain to part with it, but the words fell into the hands of the big devil Li Mu, the meaning is completely different!

"Painting?" Li Mu tilted his head and thought about it.

"It's the one from before, the one I lost to you when you bet with me." Seeing that Li Mu seemed to have forgotten it, Ma Yi became anxious in an instant.

"It's the freehand painting of mountains and rivers." Ma Yi hurriedly said, wouldn't this man use his treasure as firewood?

Speaking of which, it seems that he really didn't see the painting when he came here this time.

Thinking of this, Ma Yi immediately felt distressed and became anxious. He quickly stood up and began to search around the house, trying to find his own painting.

After he lost the painting to Li Mu before, Li Mu rudely nailed the painting to the wall with wood. Later, the house was newly built, but after the new construction was completed, he did not see the painting.

"Where did you put the painting?" After searching around for a while, Ma Yi became anxious when he didn't see the painting. Could it be that this person was really burned by him?

"Let's talk about him first. After I finish talking, maybe I'll remember where to put it." Li Mu said quietly.

Ma Yi's cleverness was beyond his expectations. He never thought that he could guess Zhong Xiuyuan's identity based on that little thing.

But thinking about this person's actions, Li Mu felt that this person should not be able to do anything, otherwise it would not be Ma Yi himself waiting for them here, but officers and soldiers.

"You..." Ma Yi was impatient, but he didn't dare to fight Li Mu hard, so he hurriedly explained the purpose of his previous visit.

Zhong Xiuyuan's identity is actually a big loophole. Although Li Mu and he said in this mountain that he came back from joining the army, he escaped from living in other places.

He died while fleeing, but was picked up by traffickers and bought back by Zhang Shulan.

All this is also in line with his experience, at least no one in the village or town has suspected it, but if you really want to investigate deeply, it is not impossible to find something.

Zhong Xiuyuan's household registration in their place was under Li Mu's name, and it was Li Mu who gave the county magistrate some silver and asked him to help put it up.

Zhong Xiuyuan's original hometown, which was originally written on the household registration, was in the drought-stricken area of ​​Su Dayong and his family. Although the flood has been called, the population has been dispersed.

But if you really want to check, you can still find out whether there is such a person in the household registration information of the year.

After further investigation, there is also Zhongmanlu, who is also a black household without household registration.

The ages and encounters of these two people, and the time when Zhong Xiuyuan disappeared before, these add up, just as Ma Yi speculated before, once they are connected, it is still easy to find out.

When Li Mu settled Zhongxiuyuan and Zhongmanlu under his own name, he had thought about this issue.

He once also asked Master Qin for help, and set up a fake Zhong's house in the flooded area, but the superficial work is easy to do, and it is easy to be found once it is necessary to investigate deeply.

At least if someone asked Zhong Xiuyuan which unit or team he was in, he wouldn't be able to tell.

It would be easy for Uncle Hong to help them make fake information, but in their capacity, if they deliberately do such a thing for a commoner, once they are discovered, it will be easier to attract attention and disaster.

What Ma Yi meant was that if Zhong Xiuyuan was willing, he could settle down for Zhong Xiuyuan, and he could also arrange for the matter of retiring from the military camp, and Zhong Manlu, he could also take care of it along the way.

Although Zhong Xiuyuan and Zhongmanlu's identities haven't had any problems yet, and they have been living in peace all the time, they still have decades to live here, and who knows when there will be any problems.

Daning's side is okay, and they have some connections here anyway, at least they shouldn't be afraid on the surface.

But in case the news leaked out and the people in Yuan Guo knew about it, causing some assassinations or other incidents, it would be impossible to guard against.

After hearing Ma Yi's proposal, both Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan fell into silence, thinking about the possibility of this matter.

Master Qin's side is not easy to handle this matter, after all, it will involve quotas in the military camp, and Uncle Hong's side is also not easy to do it, at least now that they themselves have not yet established themselves, it is not easy to cause more troubles.

Ma Yi's status is very convenient. He himself is in charge of taxation, and there are people in the court. If he is willing to help, it should not be difficult.

"It's a good deal, right?" Ma Yi said.

Such a thing is not difficult for him, but it is not easy for Li Mu and the others.

Zhong Xiuyuan was a little tempted when he heard the words. Although he and his younger brother are safe and sound now, he is still a little afraid that his identity will bring disaster to Li Mu.

After listening to Ma Yi's words, Li Mu looked suspiciously at Ma Yi next to him, "Are you sure you can do it?"

"Of course, do you think I'll come here to talk about things I'm not sure about?" Ma Yi was full of confidence.

Li Mu was silent for a while, then nodded, "Okay, if you get things done, I'll think about it."

Hearing this, Ma Yi immediately stood up happily, "It's worthwhile for me to wait for you here for a few days."

While speaking, he strode towards the door with a bit of uncontrollable joy on his face.

Ma Yi was about to go down the mountain in a hurry. He heard that Zhong Xiuyuan and Zhong Manlu had already gone up the mountain. On Zhongman Road, they met him on the road, said hello and ran up the mountain.

"Brother, are you back?" Zhong Manlu happily rushed into the room.

After seeing the two of them, he was very happy. He was about to enter the house, but he retreated after stepping in with one foot.

"I went to the mountains to get some vegetables and came back. You were not at home before, and I didn't get anything here." Zhong Man said.

They live in the mountains. Although they have a small family property now, most of the vegetables they eat are grown by themselves.

On weekdays, when I was out busy, I picked up one or two vegetables and put them at home. Before Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan were not at home, there was no fire at this house.

Li Mu nodded, they were indeed a little tired on the way back, and they couldn't care about these things now.

After Zhong Manlu stood at the door for a while, he walked towards the mountain.

After leaving the small courtyard, the smile on Zhong Manlu's face gradually turned bitter, and he couldn't help but move a little faster.

Ever since Li Mu told him to live at the foot of the mountain, he collected his things and lived at the foot of the mountain.

In fact, there is not much difference between the uphill and the downhill. Because the duck cage is in the mountain, he still has to go up the mountain every day. Sometimes he has to run to the top of the mountain several times a day to get some things or tools.

The only difference is that he sleeps at the bottom of the mountain at night, and joins Guan Yu when he eats.

It would have been no different, he had lived down the mountain before.But this time, he kept some things in his heart.

After he moved down the mountain alone, Li Mu didn't say anything, Zhong Xiuyuan didn't say anything, neither of them seemed to care.

This made him a little uncomfortable. He used to live well in the mountains, but for some reason he moved down the mountains to live separately from them. Naturally, he felt very uncomfortable.

What's more, he and Li Mu still have such a relationship.

They say they are brothers, but they are not related by blood.

If it is not a brother, Li Mu has been taking care of him for a while, and he has always regarded Li Mu as his own brother.

Now I don't know whether Li Mu disliked him or something else, so he let him live with Guan Yu at the foot of the mountain. Anyway, this matter has always been in his heart, making him uncomfortable for a long time.

Zhong Manlu ran to his own field, helped pull out two vegetables, took them back to the mountain, put them in the yard, and prepared to go down the mountain.

"Are you going down?" Zhong Xiuyuan looked at him in surprise, it was almost time for dinner, "Leave after dinner."

Zhong Manlu was a little happy at first, but when he looked at Li Mu next to him, he restrained his happiness again, shook his head, and ran down the hill a little disappointed.

003.

Zhong Xiuyuan looked at Zhong Manlu who was fleeing inexplicably, "What's wrong with him?"

Li Mu also looked at the back of the fleeing Zhong Manlu inexplicably. When they came back from the outside, this kid was very happy, and he didn't do the work in the field, so he insisted on listening to them talk about what happened outside.

How come I saw the two of them today, turned around and ran away.

"Is there something uncomfortable?" Li Mu thought for a long time, and only thought of this possibility.

Zhong Xiuyuan shook his head, not knowing why.

After a simple lunch, Li Mu took a short rest, then went down for a walk, and Zhong Xiuyuan followed.

Another batch of ducks should be sold at the foot of the mountain. Li Mu had already handed over the duck sales to Zhong Manlu. After half a year, he has basically learned it well, so now Li Mu is very relieved. meddle again.

The matter of selling ducks can be handed over to Zhong Manlu, but he still has to look at the matter of raising ducks in the mountains.

After finding Guan Yu and confirming that the ducks were ready for sale, Li Mu roughly inquired about the quantity, and after doing some calculations, he calculated the time to transport the ducks for sale.

Now the weather has gradually cooled down, so he will not only raise these ordinary ducks, but also raise some ducks with white spots on the back. The price of those ducks is much more expensive than ordinary ducks.

This time to sell ducks, besides selling the ducks, he also had to buy some baby ducks from Anfu. He had to explain this matter carefully to Zhong Manlu.

After inquiring about the situation of the ducks and confirming the number of ducks, Li Mu was sitting on the mountain calculating how much the ducks could sell for, and how much new ducklings he would buy, when he heard a few long-term workers beside him worrying about the little emperor .

Their folk customs in Daning are relatively open. Although if they say something disrespectful, they will still be held accountable, but if they just say a few ordinary words, no one cares.

These long-term workers were worried, and they were talking about the little emperor.

The little emperor was only five years old when he succeeded to the throne, and now he is only eight or nine years old, and a total of three years or less than four years have passed in between.

The little emperor was too young. When he came to the throne, the original intention of the ministers was to let the former emperor Lin Hong take the throne again, but he refused, but firmly supported the little emperor to take the throne.

The little emperor is still young, so in the past few years, the former emperor Lin Hong has been behind the scenes to help handle the affairs of the court and support the little emperor.

After a few years, with the support of the former emperor Lin Hong, the little emperor gradually grew up, and the seat under his buttocks gradually stabilized.

Seeing that all of this was about to be settled, but at this time, something went wrong again.

The first emperor Lin Hong suddenly became seriously ill about half a month ago, and that night he urgently called the imperial physician into the palace, but unfortunately none of the imperial physicians who went in could come back.All were left in the palace to take care of the unconscious late emperor.

When the news came out from the palace, Li Mu and the others were on their way back. There were few people on this road, so they didn't know about it.

When Li Mu heard the news, it was almost twenty days after the news came out.

"I'm afraid the world is going to be in chaos again." One of the long-term workers was quite distressed.

"Don't talk nonsense." The other quickly stopped, "Crow mouth!"

"The little emperor is only nine years old, and he will only be ten years old next year. If the late emperor is no longer here, he will just..." the third person said.

What they care about is not whether the little emperor's life is easy or not, or whether he can hold real power.What they were concerned about was that if the little emperor could not sit securely under his buttocks, another bloodbath might be about to unfold.

Daning has only been stable for less than a year now, if the former emperor Lin Hong can't hold on at this time, there will be another chaos in the world.

When the time comes when the heroes will divide the regime and everyone will seize the dragon chair, won't it be them and the common people who will suffer again?

Listening to the discussions of those long-term workers, Li Mu's heart that was originally relieved to see the duck grow up was instantly lifted.

His complexion changed repeatedly, and finally became very ugly. He didn't stop at the bottom of the mountain, but immediately went up the mountain, and went to the peach blossom forest to look for Zhong Xiuyuan who had gone to the mountain to have a look.

Only halfway up the mountain, Li Mu saw Zhong Xiuyuan rushing down the mountain, apparently Zhong Xiuyuan had also heard the news.

"Let's talk when we go back." Zhong Xiuyuan made a gesture and took Li Mu up the mountain together.

Before the two returned to the mountain, they called Zhong Manlu next to him and asked him to follow him up the mountain.

Because the two of them have been on the road during this period, they don't know much about the news, but Zhong Manlu has been living in the town, so he should be very aware of the rumors.

After going up the mountain, the three of them entered the hall and closed the door.

"Are those rumors at the foot of the mountain true?" Zhong Xiuyuan looked nervously at Li Mu beside him.

If Uncle Hong is really seriously ill and unconscious, then...

Li Mu remained silent. If the situation really turned out like this, then things would be really troublesome.

He originally thought that Uncle Hong would survive until Yun'er was over ten years old. Some things in court were not that he and Zhong Xiuyuan were unwilling to help, but that only Uncle Hong could do it himself.

He and Zhong Xiuyuan, one has no power and power, and the other is an outsider, even if they really follow Uncle Hong, they may not be of much help, but will only fall into the trap of others.

So unless it was absolutely necessary, Uncle Hong probably wouldn't let the two of them appear.

But now if Uncle Hong really fell, then Yun'er in court might not be able to suppress those important officials.

"I thought you already knew about this." Zhong Manlu was also worried, "This news has been circulating for a while. I remember that at the beginning of this year, some people said that the late emperor was seriously ill."

In fact, this rumor has always been there, not just recently, since the beginning of Yun'er's ascension to the throne, this rumor has never stopped.

It's just that everyone has heard about the poor health of the former emperor Lin Hong, so even if the news has never been broken, everyone has never paid much attention to it.

Now that the news of the serious illness came out suddenly, everyone started to worry instead.

At this moment, the three of them were sitting in the house, not knowing what to do for a while.

It's a good thing that Uncle Hong hasn't sent anyone to send any news yet.

"Has Ma Yi left?" Li Mu asked suddenly.

Ma Yi is an official in the court. If he was here, he should know some news.

"He's been here for a long time." Zhong Man said, "Not long after you left, he came to this mountain to wait for you. I originally told him that it would take a long time for you to come back, but he never left. .”

If Ma Yi doesn't know the specific situation, then their last hope is gone and they can only wait for the news.

After Zhong Manlu said this, everyone fell silent again.

"It should be fine." Zhong Xiuyuan said, he seemed to be comforting himself, and also seemed to be comforting Li Mu, "The imperial doctors in the imperial court are all capable people, with them here, nothing will happen."

If Zuo Yi was there, he might feel at ease, but Zuo Yi is no longer there.

Some of the medical skills left by Zuo Yi are easy to understand and some are extremely profound. Although he has read them all, he still hasn't learned three-tenths of Zuo Yi.

What's more, in the current situation, even if Zuo Yi was alive, they couldn't sneak into the palace.

"Why don't you ask Master Qin to inquire about it?" Zhong Manlu suggested.

Among the group of people they knew, apart from Ma Yi, probably only Qianqian was more informed, but Qianqian, they couldn't just let them inquire about the current emperor.

Zhongman thought about it, and only Master Qin knew about it.

Li Mu shook his head, unwilling to speak.

Li Mu was silent, and the other two stopped talking.

Although they are also close to Uncle Hong, they are not as good as Li Mu.

A faint oppressive atmosphere filled the room, making the three people in the room a little breathless.

Li Mu looked at the closed door, feeling a little fuzzy for a moment.

When Uncle Hong left, his body was always in good health. Although his legs and feet were a bit inconvenient, he was in good spirits and body, but it was reported that he was ill not long after he left.

Although Li Mu didn't know the specific situation, he probably knew that Yuan Guo's previous assassinations caused his body to collapse, and that's why he couldn't afford to get sick.

Li Mu asked Zhong Xiuyuan about the situation at that time, and Uncle Hong was indeed seriously injured at that time, and his life was in danger. They both survived later, but the injury was the root cause of Uncle Hong's body.

He had just returned, and there were many affairs in the court, and there were many people who were dissatisfied with the two of them, so he was depressed, and this old injury and old disease frequently recurred.

Later, perhaps because he was really getting older, his body was getting worse day by day. Before Zhong Xiuyuan separated from him, he was already much haggard.

The gray hair at the beginning was already snow-white.

Li Mu and Uncle Hong have known each other for the longest time among the three. After all, Uncle Hong was the first person to talk to him after he traveled here, and he was also the one who took care of him all the time.

When he just woke up, Yuanshen's family was already poor and poor, and his parents had already passed away, with no one to take care of him.

At that time, Uncle Hong, who found out that something was wrong with him, was taking care of him, although the care at that time was only out of benevolence and morality, and did not mix anything else.

But after Li Mu got acquainted with him later, he could clearly feel that Uncle Hong was taking care of him as a junior.

In the very beginning, Li Mu taught everything here.

Uncle Hong helped fetch water, cook, weed, dig the ground, grow things, and even when Li Mu first opened up wasteland, although he couldn't plant that land later.

Later, he was tied up and forced to join the army by those people in the village. Of all the people, only Uncle Hong stood up and said a word for him. hurt my foot.

A few years later, when he returned from joining the army, it was Uncle Hong who tried to help him trouble the villagers.

Against the eyes of those people, he asked them to gather up bits and pieces for him, help him get back what belonged to him, and help him marry a wife.

Li Mu still still remembers that at that time, Uncle Hong secretly gave him some copper coins to let him live a good life.

There are not many copper coins, a small bag, but it is full of weight, and it weighs heavily on his heart.

Under such a difficult situation back then, I don't know how much Uncle Hong did more work in the mountains with Yun'er on his back, and how many more trips he made to save the money little by little.

Later, he started raising ducks. Uncle Hong said that he was messing around, but when he called out for something, Uncle Hong would never refuse, and he left what he was doing and it came.

At that time, he was building a duck shed. There was no one in the mountains who could help him, and he didn't have much money to hire people. He did all the weaving of bamboo fences and carrying wooden piles by himself, and Uncle Hong followed him all the time.

In summer, when it was the hottest and most tiring moment, even he, Xia Jingming, and Zhong Xiuyuan were too tired to bear, and Uncle Hong never called for a break.

Later, his life got better and better, and the family gradually became more affluent, but Uncle Hong left before he had time to enjoy it.

This time, it was a few years, a few years, and they never had a chance to see each other again.

Although Uncle Hong has been sending things here for several years, and Li Mu has also sent him a lot of things, but he has never been able to see each other.

In order not to involve too much, in order not to be discovered by suspicion, there was even a pitiful lack of words between them.

After all these years and all these things, if he regards Yun'er as his own child, then he also regards Uncle Hong as his father.

He didn't want to climb anything in the past, but if one day Uncle Hong came back with Yuner and came to this mountain again, he would still be willing to call him uncle and drink and talk with him.
