My years as a soldier

As soon as Chen Fan left, Li Muyun's expression in the car changed.The indescribable anger and struggle in his eyes.Li Muyun never believed Zhang Si from the very beginning, but he didn't expect that what Zhang Si hid from him would be such a fact.And if what Chen Fan said was true, then it should be Zhang Si who confronted Hu Jiuzhang in Chang'an county government.Zhang Si not only killed Hu Yan, but also smashed Hu Jiuzhang's legs.Li Muyun wouldn't care too much about this kind of thing if it was any other person.But this time, it was Hu Jiuzhang who suffered the big loss.

That's why Hu Jiuzhang showed that expression yesterday when he heard Zhang Si's name, and that's why he...

As soon as Li Muyun thought of this, the pain in his eyes became more and more vivid.

"Go home."

He whispered to the outside of the car, although the voice was not loud, but the boy waiting outside responded immediately.The horses outside the carriage neighed, and Li Muyun's heart also churned up and down non-stop.

After all, he was wrong about Hu Jiuzhang... How could Lao Hu, such a simple person, be separated from him because of trivial matters.The change in Hu Jiuzhang's attitude was entirely due to the fact that he had genuine doubts in his heart.And Li Muyun never shy away from using the most vicious intentions to speculate on others.He guessed, the worst is the worst, Hu Jiuzhang may regard himself as the master who instigated Zhang Si behind his back, and Hu Jiuzhang may even think that Zhang Si was instigated by him, Li Muyun, so he colluded with the county magistrate in Chang'an County to interrupt He has a pair of legs.Because on the day when Lao Hu had an accident, he lived in the same inn as him, and after Hu Jiuzhang was dragged out of the county government office, he was the first person he met.

Thinking of this, Li Muyun couldn't help turning black and blue.He knew that these were just his own unreasonable speculations, but he didn't know whether Hu Jiuzhang would misunderstand to such an extent.Li Muyun has always planned for the worst possible situation.He had to be prepared for the worst, otherwise this heart would never be able to settle down.

When Li Muyun returned to the palace, it was already midnight, although the sunlight was not as strong as at noon, but at this time, it was the hottest time of the day.The heat brought by the bright sun at noon has just steamed up. Although autumn is not as hot as summer, when a person is stuffy in the room and can't even get out of bed, he will be so sensitive that he can't let go of even the slightest change. .

Li Muyun was careful, when he went back to his room to look for Hu Jiuzhang, he even ordered the kitchen to make sweet-scented osmanthus flavored cold cakes, and he wanted to take advantage of the sweltering heat in the afternoon to bring them to Hu Jiuzhang.

When Li Muyun walked to the door with the small plate of cold cakes in his hand, Hu Jiuzhang had already heard the sound.But the expression on his face was still indifferent, those calloused hands subconsciously squeezed hard, so strong that even the blue veins on his arms protruded several times.

He also knew that his attitude towards Li Muyun these days was not good enough, but this matter involved Zhang Si.As long as Hu Jiuzhang thought of Zhang Si, he couldn't be calm towards Li Muyun.

In fact, counting this day, Hu Jiuzhang has been raised in the palace for almost eight days.After the fever subsided, the wound on his leg was healing daily at a speed visible to the naked eye under the careful care of the medical officer.The superficial trauma has healed more than half in only five or six days, but the broken bones under the skin are healing slowly.He didn't dare to move even though he was holding the splint, and he had to rely on these arms to support him in everything.But fortunately, the food and drink in the palace was a hundred times better than at home, so Hu Jiuzhang had nothing to complain about.It seems like a huge inconvenience to others, but it can be ignored when it comes to him.In contrast, the one who was the most cautious was Li Muyun.

Seeing Li Muyun walking in slowly with a small plate of cakes in his hand, Hu Jiuzhang frowned. He subconsciously avoided Li Muyun's gaze. There was no resentment or fear in his heart. It took a while before he could accept the fact that Li Muyun was Zhang Si's backer from the bottom of his heart.

Hu Jiuzhang has never liked to think of people as bad, especially those who have helped him.

He even wanted to believe that Li Muyun hadn't lied to him, he just happened to be the heir of Prince Su, and happened to raise a servant named Zhang Si.But no matter how hard Hu Jiuzhang tried, he couldn't help but cast a shadow over Li Muyun in his heart.

He is no longer the white-clothed scholar he met in Chang'an Inn that day, nor is he Xiaobai.He became the son of King Su and the master of Zhang Si, and these two identities always occupy the first and most important position in Hu Jiuzhang's mind.Whenever Hu Jiuzhang thinks of Hu Yan, the pain in his heart will not stop.

"How is it, are you better?"

Li Muyun's tone was brisk, and he sat directly beside Hu Jiuzhang's couch.Originally the soft couch belonged to him, but now that Hu Jiuzhang was lying on it, he felt secure.

Li Muyun put the small plate in front of Hu Jiuzhang, "It's delicious, I'll keep it for you. You haven't eaten it before. Try it?"

There was a slight smile on his face, but Hu Jiuzhang only looked up at him, and Li Muyun's disguise began to lose its hold.

"Aren't you angry anymore?"

"Why am I angry with you..." He avoided Hu Jiuzhang's gaze, and put the small dish on the table next to the couch, "I said I would help you, and I will definitely help you. The matter of the Chang'an County Government, I'll vent your anger on you, as for your brother... don't worry, I won't let you come to Chang'an for nothing."

"Ha ha……"

Li Muyun's voice was calm, but Hu Jiuzhang laughed instead.

"Xiaobai, you really don't know why I was executed with a stick in Chang'an County?"

"Do you think I know?" Li Muyun said in a low voice. Originally, he could have evaded such words casually, but when facing Hu Jiuzhang, he subconsciously avoided it.

"With your abilities, you shouldn't be ignorant." Hu Jiuzhang said calmly.He is not afraid that things will be bad and chaotic, but he is afraid that things will not be discussed.

Hu Jiuzhang's eyes were calm, but Li Muyun was even more afraid to meet those eyes.Zhang Si is not an ordinary servant, he is the eye of his father in Chang'an, he can't just find any reason to execute this person.But if he didn't do anything, Li Muyun would feel uncomfortable.

"……I will help you."

Li Muyun was silent for a long time before saying these four words.He carefully raised his eyes to look at Hu Jiuzhang, but Hu Jiuzhang was still so calm.

"You didn't answer me."

This was what he had expected.Although Hu Jiuzhang didn't know the life of the royal heirs and aristocrats, he knew the man in front of him.He felt that Li Muyun must have known something, otherwise he would not have changed his attitude so quickly.

But what would Li Muyun know?Hu Jiuzhang thought that Li Muyun might hear something from Zhang Si.But Zhang Si will definitely put his own responsibility completely aside, and he may push the responsibility of Zhang Xing to the county magistrate of Chang'an County.And Li Muyun would not know the truth of this matter, even if he explained it himself, Li Muyun might not believe it.

So Hu Jiuzhang didn't intend to explain at all.He didn't want to tell Li Muyun about Zhang Si, nor did he want to tell Li Muyun about the bad things that happened in the county government.It was true that Li Muyun was his savior, but Hu Jiuzhang didn't want to take advantage of Li Muyun's little affection for him, so he begged him for mercy.

He has no identity or status, but he is still a person.As a person, you have to take care of yourself.Moreover, Hu Jiuzhang has never been in the habit of asking for help.For a person like him, natural disasters and man-made disasters are the norm. After getting used to the feeling of dying, there will be less fear and worry.

"I……"

Li Muyun just spoke, but was interrupted by Hu Jiuzhang.

"You don't need to say it. You saved me. I will remember this kindness. But I will take care of my affairs. If it is inconvenient for you, you don't have to force yourself. Wait until my leg is healed. As long as it is something I can do, You tell me, and I will do it for you. The only thing I care about now is my mother in Chengzhou. She probably doesn't know that Hu Yan had an accident in Chang'an, I have to get my legs back and take care of her."

"Old Hu..."

Hearing Hu Jiuzhang mention his mother, Li Muyun's heart seemed to be stabbed hard by something.Not long after he was born, his biological mother died of illness.Li Muyun has no memory of his biological mother, he has always regarded his concubine Zhao as his biological mother, but this relationship was easily terminated unilaterally until half a month ago.

That night, he overheard Zhao's conversation with the servant girl in the courtyard. She said that she would send two sets of winter clothes she made for her two sons, and asked if the food in the kitchen was ready.

The servant girl agreed, and she will wait for the princess to see it.

Li Muyun was standing at the corner of the corridor. At that time, he thought, why did his mother go to see the food in the kitchen, and then he heard it.

"Let's go now. I've been taking this prescription for that little boy for several years, but he still hasn't seen an attack. Tomorrow, I'll go find Doctor Zhou to see if I need to increase the dosage."

"Hey—wait a minute, princess. I see that the son of the world is already much weaker than ordinary men. We have been waiting for so many years, and if we wait a few more years, maybe he will die after a serious illness. And he With such a weak body, even Pinglu is not allowed to go, and the chance to meet the prince is very rare, why is the princess afraid of him?"

Just hearing this, Li Muyun's body was already stiff.

It took a lot of effort for him to walk away from the corner quietly.For the latter, no matter how Mrs. Zhao wanted to answer, he didn't want to hear it anymore.

Fang Zi, the food, and my frail body...

Li Muyun never thought that his frailty would have something to do with his mother.She is so looking forward to her own death?He even insisted on going to the kitchen to poison every day.But that woman has been poisoned for 21 years, and she is still alive...

Li Muyun didn't even know how to comment on this.If his mother wanted to kill him, he might not survive a day, but he not only survived, but he has lived all the way to the present.

That night, Li Muyun tossed and turned on the couch, and he lay on the soft bed where Hu Jiuzhang was lying now, letting his tears flow like a fountain.But he never cried out.Early the next morning, Li Muyun packed his bags and rode to the Chunming Gate.Chang'an Chunming gate was only one square away from Shengyefang, but even so, he was stopped in front of Chunming's gate by servants who noticed something strange.

Afterwards, Li Muyun led his Huma Yaoxing around Chang'an city, no matter how the family sent people to ask and persuade him, he would not explain, nor did he plan to go back.

When Li Muyun checked into Shunchang Inn in Xishi, it was the fourth day after he left home.Shunchang Inn is on the corner of Xishi Street, close to Yanping Gate.Although the shop is small and the decoration is shabby, the small shop means that there are few people. Those servants who come to him can't come in and squeeze a room with him for the night. As long as they don't see those people, Li Muyun feels that he is still has hope.

Later, he met Hu Jiuzhang.But now that he was sitting beside Hu Jiuzhang, the pain in his heart didn't decrease at all.

"Old Hu... Listen to me, I will help you, there is no inconvenience, you trust me."

Li Muyun gently held Hu Jiuzhang's hand on the soft couch.

"Give me a little time, I will help you, help you now."

Li Muyun finally shook the back of Hu Jiuzhang's hand. Hu Jiuzhang's hand was warm, but his fingers felt cool.Before leaving, he put the plate of cold cakes in front of Hu Jiuzhang, and he wanted to find his concubine.

Perhaps in the bottom of her heart, that woman hated him as a legitimate son, but at least on the surface, Li Muyun was still the son of the royal family, and that woman was still the mother who brought him up since he was a child.

Li Muyun himself did not dare to move Zhang Si, but if he could persuade his mother to agree with his actions, and wanted to punish Zhang Si, it would not be impossible.

After half a month, Li Muyun stood in front of Concubine Su Zhao's room again, but the only one who came out to answer the door was the female slave guarding the door in the outer room.

"My son, the princess is not feeling well, you should go back first."

The female slave looked submissive, Li Muyun stared at her for a long while, his fists were clenched with veins, but on the surface, he still had that calm and calm appearance.

"Then I'll wait in the guest house and come to visit my mother later."

He said lightly, then turned around and went to the guest room at the east end of Zhao's house.

And Li Muyun would not know that Zhao's refusal at this time was only because he was one step behind someone.

When Li Muyun was cooking tea and waiting quietly in the guest house, Mrs. Zhao was also chatting with people in the room.Standing bent over in front of her was Zhang Si.Although this man is eight feet tall and has a hulking back, his low-browed and pleasing appearance always wins the favor of his master.He spoke softly to the concubine, and concubine Su listened carefully.

Time flowed slowly, and the afternoon of this day seemed to be frozen, and it became extraordinarily long...
