Li Mu looked at Chunxiang in front of him in embarrassment. The girl was turning her back to him with her hands on her hips and a blushing face. After hearing the news that Lin Qingzhu and Nie Xiaoyu had woken up, she was so excited that she forgot that she was in the bathtub. Things that haven't even been touched yet.
"Chunxiang, this is not an accident. I didn't do it on purpose."
While drying himself and getting ready to put on his clothes, Li Mu bravely explained that although the reason was a little pale, it was still true.
"Humph, the second young master, we are no longer children. We will not have Chunxiang to take care of us when we go out in the future. The second young master cannot be so reckless. The doctor is still checking the pulses of Sister Qingzhu and Miss Nie. Chunxiang will help the second young master dress up before going. Meet them.”
When Chunxiang heard the sound of Li Mu getting dressed behind her, she turned around and helped Li Mu put on her robe, and then combed her hair carefully. She had done these things for fifteen years before. , when Li Mu was least favored by the family, she was the only maid who had been thrown in this yard since she was a child, serving her wholeheartedly.
It is unimaginable that a child of the same age has to endure the cold treatment of other servants, maids and even family members, and use her thin body to protect the young Li Mu from the wind and rain. Almost all of this girl's twenty years of glory have been dedicated to this. A courtyard, now the boy in the courtyard has grown up, soared into the sky, and became the savior of the empire, but his time to return to this courtyard is getting less and less.
From three days to a month, and then more than half a year, she did not come back once, but even though the boy was not here, Chunxiang still insisted on cleaning the yard inside and out every day, and made the bed every day, just for the sake of If the second young master comes back, he will be able to sleep peacefully, just like he has done every night for twenty years.
For this girl who had barely stepped out of the Li family's mansion, this courtyard was her entire world, and Li Mu was the sky. The jade hands combing her hair began to tremble a little, but she finally suppressed the constant tears in her eyes. With tears rolling down her cheeks, she knew that Li Mu's future was definitely not in this palm-sized courtyard. She didn't have the ability to follow him forward, so at least she had to help him hold on to the very beginning.
"Oh, I get it. Why are you, Chunxiang, as verbose as Aunt Liu? I'm going to see Qingzhu and the others first. You don't need to help me prepare dinner. I have to go to the City Lord's Mansion again."
Li Mu didn't hear the meaning of Chunxiang's words. He waved to the girl with his back as usual, and then opened the door and went out.
"Second Young Master."
"What's wrong?"
"It's okay, be careful on the road."
After bidding farewell to Chunxiang, Li Mu ran all the way and soon came to Lin Qingzhu and Nie Xiaoyu's room. In order to facilitate treatment, their rooms were in the same courtyard. When he opened the courtyard door, he saw a slightly pale but beautiful face. The still pretty face came into view.
"Xiaoyu, can you get out of bed now? How is your injury?"
Seeing that Nie Xiaoyu could move freely, Li Mu showed a happy expression. This ambush in the East China Sea was really dangerous. If it hadn't been for Xiaopi's recovery and the help of Ancestor Ling at the last moment, I'm afraid all of them would have been blamed for their actions. There.
"Brother Mu, you are here. I practice Sheng Yuan Jue. After my master treated me before, I recovered mostly. I then used the exercises to heal myself, so I got better quickly. Sister Qingzhu also woke up, but she is still She's in bed, come on, I'll take you to see her."
The girl was naturally overjoyed to see her sweetheart come to visit, but she also knew very well what she should do. She immediately led Li Mu into the wing room in the yard, and Lin Qingzhu was half lying on the bed. The maid beside the bed Holding a bowl of dark medicinal soup, it was obviously time to drink medicine.
"Sister Qingzhu, this medicinal soup was prepared by my master. It will be of great benefit to your injury. Don't let it go to waste."
When Nie Xiaoyu saw Lin Qingzhu's pitiful look, he immediately understood. Sure enough, no matter how powerful a woman was, she couldn't bear the problem of drinking medicine.
"I'll do it, you go down first." Upon seeing this, Li Mu quickly stepped forward and took the bowl from the maid's hand, and then took out two maltose candies like a magic trick.
"Why haven't you changed your fear of taking medicine since you were a child? Good medicine is bitter in taste. Doctor Hua has superb medical skills. I can't even ask for this bowl of medicine outside. Drink it in one gulp and I'll give you candy."
Li Mu's actions made Lin Qingzhu blush. She didn't expect that after so many years, Li Mu still remembered her habit of drinking medicine with two pieces of maltose when she was a child.
After bidding farewell to Lin Qingzhu and Nie Xiaoyu, Li Mu went to Yun Luoxi's yard again. When he saw the scene of Hao Meng sweating profusely serving tea and water to the eldest lady of the Yunlan Sect, he also snickered and took the photo Pat your senior on the shoulder.
"By the way, where did Lao Fang go? Why didn't I see him?" Li Mu asked curiously. When he passed by Fang Yan's yard just now, he saw the door was closed and thought he was resting, so he didn't disturb him.
"Oh, Brother Fang went to practice. He said that if he was beaten this time, he would get his money back with interest next time."
Hao Meng's answer surprised Li Mu. He sighed that Fang Yan was really the number one cultivator. It seemed that the only thing he could do in his life was to continuously improve his strength.
"No, I feel like I have to find a girl for Lao Fang. It's hard to live this life, otherwise it will be so empty after the great revenge is avenged. If this war goes well, I will have to ask Qingzhu to introduce some aristocratic families. Little sister, give it to Lao Fang."
Li Mu, who was worried about Fang Yan's lifelong events, went straight out of the Li Mansion. During this period, he also saw Grandpa Wang in the kitchen chasing the little monkey's butt and cursing. Judging from the snapper in the little monkey's hand, it was probably another intruder. What a disaster.
There was nothing Li Mu could do about this skinny monkey, but considering its ability to save lives at critical moments, he would just turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye if he stole some food. Unfortunately, it would only hurt Grandpa Wang's old arms and legs. I still have to run around the yard with a rolling pin.
With Li Mu's current foot strength, he arrived in front of the city lord's mansion in the blink of an eye. Only then did he realize that the mansion had been completely militarized and the square originally used to park carriages had been transformed into a temporary material transfer station. , a large number of military supplies are counted and classified here, and then sent to the corresponding troops.
"Second Young Master, you are here. Go to the command center quickly. The conference is about to start."
When he walked to the gate, he saw Lin Qingzhu's father, Lin Yu, the first counselor of Qinglan City, standing there. When he saw Li Mu, he also smiled and greeted him, and then introduced him into the mansion.
The scene here was completely different from the previous scene. The corridor was full of uniformed officers running with various materials. Li Mu, who was at the commander level, saw seven or eight of them along the way.
You must know that in peacetime, it is almost impossible to gather so many senior officers. They will lead troops in various cities or strongholds within the military region, and will not gather together at the same time.
"Li Mu, this way, the meeting is about to begin."
An urging came. Li Mu looked up and saw Liu Long waving to him at the end of the corridor. Not daring to neglect, he quickened his pace and followed Liu Long into the parliament hall that had been converted into a temporary command center. .
