Harue Kagetsu: Chapter 74

Li Mu ended his birthday with a pipa song, and called Hou Tianwang finally made up his mind and decided to form an alliance with him to fight against Xijin Xianbei.

This news quickly spread among the Hou family retainers and Qiuchi nobles who were waiting outside.

For a while, everyone was talking about it.

Hou Li went away with a big smile.

Gan Qi watched his back disappear, glanced at Hou Jian, saw that his expression was gray and defeated, like a mourning concubine, and gave him a wink.

The two went quietly one after the other amid the chatter of the people nearby.

Hou Li returned to the hall, holding the pipa that Jiang Tao gave him, which was re-packed in the qin case, stepped inside, and knelt in front of Hou Ding.

"My son knows that his father has a deep affection for his mother, and because he knows that many Han people are proficient in music theory, he deliberately invited Li Shishi to find someone to restore the pipa to celebrate his father's birthday. The father and the king forgive the son for his own opinion."

"The pipa has been restored. The song I just played is what I used. Please take a look at it."

Saying that, he lifted the violin case over the top.

Hou Ding took the qin case, opened it, stared at the old Hu pipa in the case, which still had water stains, and said after a while, "Get up."

He turned to look aside, Li Mu, who was always silent, showed emotion.

"Gu Huilong insulted me back then, but for many years, I could only swallow my voice. Every time I think about the old things, it feels like a pain in my heart. To meet you today is a good opportunity for revenge from God. I have made up my mind and will do my best. help you."

He carefully took out the lute, plucked the strings, closed and opened his eyes.

"This relic of my deceased wife, I have been wanting to repair it and return it to her over the years, but I have not been able to achieve my wish.

"Just now when I listened to that pipa song, it was like listening to my dead wife's old music. I don't know who repaired the pipa, and who played the song?"

Jiang Tao quickly glanced at Li Mu, and hurried forward, just as he was about to speak, Hou Li had already hurriedly said: "Father, repairing and playing are the same person. Jiang Changshi said that he was the one obtained by Li Shishi. Musician. In order to repair the pipa in time for the birthday banquet tonight, the musician was on the road last night and arrived before dawn today. It was I who sent someone into the city. The man was so skilled that he repaired the pipa in one day, and just now Dedicated a song for congratulations to the father and king."

"I would like to meet you, so I would like to express my thanks in person," Hou Jian said.

Li Mu stared at Jiang Tao.

Jiang Tao's back was wet with early sweat.

After being persuaded by his wife, after hesitating, when he finally arranged to send her here behind Li Mu's back, Jiang Tao had already thought that such a scene might happen.

At this point, I can only bite the bullet and invite the lady out.

Fortunately, be prepared in advance.

He backed out.

After a while, with the sound of footsteps, Li Mu saw Jiang Tao bring in a young man.

The young man was thin and thin, wearing a small flat hat and ordinary cloth, but his appearance was exceptionally handsome, and his eyebrows were one of a kind, exquisite and picturesque.

Seeing that he followed Jiang Tao into the room, he stood in front of the crowd and lowered his eyes, neither opening his mouth nor showing courtesy.

Even being stared at by Li Mu, he seemed unaware.

A pair of eyes, only looking at a piece of ground in front of his feet.

Hou Jian did not expect that he helped himself to repair the pipa, and then used his deceased wife's pipa to play such a song, which evoked his feelings. It was this thin young man who seemed to be no more than sixteen or seventeen years old in front of him. He was very surprised: "Really him?"

Jiang Tao hurriedly nodded: "Exactly. It's just that he was born with a loss of voice, can't speak, and he devoted himself to studying music theory, and he didn't understand etiquette. I hope you forgive me."

As he was talking, out of the corner of his eyes, Feng caught sight of Li Mu's eyes staring at him with a strange expression. Even himself, who had been with him for many years, couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry at the moment.

The back was hot and sweat was pouring out again.

Hou Jian couldn't help shaking his head, saying it was a pity, and ordered Hou Li to give him a reward.

Although Hou Li knew early in the morning that the musician was sent, and he also sent someone to pick him up at that time, he didn't see anyone until this moment.

For a while, I was stunned.

He has always liked women only, but for some reason, the first time he saw this young musician, he was firmly attracted to him.

Just now, he had been staring at him, suddenly listening to his father's instructions, he bowed his head and nodded immediately.

Falling into Li Mu's eyes, his brows wrinkled imperceptibly. He opened his mouth and said to Jiang Tao: "Okay. You take him to the post house and tell him to rest first!"

Jiang Tao wiped his sweat, it should be.

Luoshen finally raised his eyelids, glanced at Li Mu, turned around and followed Jiang Tao out of the hall.

Yesterday morning, when he just left the door, she immediately went out through the back door and was guarded by Jiang Tao's pre-arranged people, grabbed the front and headed to Qiuchi first.

In order to buy more time to repair the pipa, that night, when Li Mu and his party stayed overnight, she rushed all night and finally arrived at Fangcheng this morning and was taken in. As soon as the pipa was in hand, it was immediately tuned.

After a whole day of busy work, I didn't even have time to eat. Finally, I replaced the strings and restored the pitch to the original.

As for the song, she had conceived it on the way to the place, and she had only performed it on the spot. She was quite satisfied with it, and it was the icing on the cake to get such an effect.

Seeing Jiang Tao's sweaty back, he put his clothes on his back, and as soon as he went out, he comforted him: "Second brother Jiang, don't worry. I was the one who went to find you. I'll explain it clearly in front of him. Blame it if you want to. I, I asked you to help me."

Jiang Tao knew that Li Mu would not let her go with him, but after she came, he still agreed.

Considering more, is to ensure the smooth achievement of the purpose of this trip.

It's a top priority.

As for her safety, he really did not think so much about Li Mu.

In his original plan, if Hou Ding could promise to remain neutral when Li Mu and Xijing fought in the future, not to invade Yicheng, and to ensure the stability of the rear, it would be a satisfactory result.

The result was unexpectedly good.

Hou Ding not only promised to form an alliance, but also promised to give full support.

The sound of her pipa is indisputable.

Seeing her come out at this moment, I comforted myself first and wanted to take responsibility for myself. I couldn't help being surprised and felt even more guilty in my heart. Hastily said: "Madam does not hesitate to take risks in order to help important things, I admire it. Not to mention that Li Shishi may not be able to blame, but I really should blame it, and I should bear it. How can Madam be better? Madam should be lacking. , I'll take my wife to the inn to rest first."

Luo Shen smiled and nodded.

…

Hou Ding summoned his vassals and nobles again, and personally announced the decision to form an alliance with Li Mu to jointly fight against Xijin Xianbei. He ordered the banquet to be rearranged to celebrate.

This feast was much more lively than the previous one.

Everyone toasted Li Mu one after another, and the atmosphere was warm.

During the staggering, Li Mu talked and laughed, drinking glasses of wine, but in fact he was always absent-minded.

I finally understood why she had suddenly changed her attitude and was so attentive to herself when she set off early the day before yesterday.

It turned out that Jiang Tao had already persuaded him, hiding from himself, and came to Chencang secretly.

In front of his eyes, there was a scene where she pretended to be a mute boy and stood in front of him pretty.

I don't know if it's the drink in my stomach or something else. In the depths of the lower abdomen, suddenly there was a burning sensation that was hard to suppress.

I can't wait to get up and leave here immediately, go back to catch her, and have a good trial of her to see what kind of heart she has, to ignore herself, and to be so bold.

Li Mu smiled at the person, and at the end of the banquet, Hou Ding was drunk and was helped away.

The rest of the ministers of Qiu Chi also walked away drunk.

Hou Li sent him out. Li Mu told him to send someone to pay attention to Gan Qi's movements.

Hou Li nodded, saying that he would take precautions.

Li Mu said goodbye and got on his horse to leave, but when he heard him call him again, he stopped the horse and looked back.

Hou Li came to the front of the horse and said: "Li Shishi, I saw the young musician tonight, and I liked his superb musical skills even more. It happens that I am here, and there are few people like him. I don't know where you got him? Can you keep him? Down?"

Seeing that Li Mu was silent, he hurriedly said again: "If Li Shishi is willing to give in, I am willing to give a thousand dollars."

Li Mu stared at him: "She is already mine. Do you want me to let it go?"

Hou Li stayed for a while. Unexpectedly, he had already accepted the boy. He hurriedly apologized, bowed and said, "It's me who was abrupt! Don't dare to have such delusional thoughts again. Don't blame Li Shishi."

Li Mu left Hou Li behind and drove his horse away.

…

Luoshen was sent to the inn by Jiang Tao and entered where Li Mu was staying.

Yesterday I spent a whole day and night in the carriage, and today I have been working all day with my full attention. Not to mention the pipa song that night, I focused all my emotions on it, and it was extremely exhausting. After the song was over, it was like a battle. After I settled down, I ate something, and people slowly relaxed. Ordinarily, Luoshen should be very tired.

But she didn't want to sleep at all.

Just now, after she followed Jiang Tao, he stared at her with the kind of eyes that made Luoshen unable to hold back the cold hairs all over his body.

That feeling has not completely disappeared at this moment.

She was very excited, a little proud.

Of course, there is also tension.

This should be the most daring and riskiest thing she has ever done in her life.

She knew he was upset.

He also knew that when he came back, he would not let him go easily.

She vaguely hoped that he would return sooner, and seemed a little afraid to face him.

My heart is constantly entangled, where can there be a half-point of sleepiness?

…

Li Mu rejected Hou Li, and felt more and more restless in his heart. The post house is not far from the Hou's mansion, and it will be there soon.

Jiang Tao didn't leave, and he took his entourage and personally guarded it outside. When he saw Li Mu returning, he strode towards the place where he was staying and hurried to meet him.

"Is she in the house?"

Li Mu stopped and asked.

Jiang Tao nodded.

"Jingchen, I'm really sorry, I..."

Li Mu waved his hand and stopped what he had just started.

"I know you're here to help me get things done. But I think you know something too."

"If the alliance fails, I can still fight. If I lose the city today, I can take it back tomorrow. But if she makes a mistake, Second Brother Jiang, how do you tell me to deal with myself in the future?"

"Next time, if she finds you on her own initiative, no matter what, I hope you don't follow her again, but let me know."

After he finished speaking, he continued to walk in.

Jiang Tao looked at the back that was gradually leaving in front of him, and he had mixed feelings for a while.

Happy, regretful, and a little surprised.

Li Mu married Gao's daughter, in Jiang Tao's view, of course there is love. After all, the so-called hero is saddened by beauty. Gao's daughters, no matter their origin, appearance or talent, are few women in the world who can match them.

But he did not expect that in Li Mu's eyes, Gao's daughter's status was so important.

Thinking back on what he just said at this moment, I can't help but feel scared for a while.

Fortunately, as he said, everything was fine.

Otherwise, if there is any accident, I am afraid that I will have no face to see him again in the future.

…

Li Mu pushed open the door and entered, and at a glance, he saw a figure lying quietly beside the bed.

He closed the door, walked towards her slowly, and finally stopped in front of the bed.

The cap on his head was taken off, but his long hair was still tied in a man's hairstyle, and he was wearing his original clothes.

Curled by the bed like this, at first glance, he still looks like a teenager.

She seemed to be in a deep sleep, not moving for a while.

Li Mu stared at her sleeping face for a long time, and suddenly said, "Get up."

Luoshen just recognized the sound of his footsteps, and he was nervous for a while, so he simply lay on the bed and pretended to sleep.

Unexpectedly, he saw through it, so he opened his eyes and sat up.

Seeing Li Mu standing in front of the bed, staring at him from a high position, his face was not good-looking, he preemptively said: "Why do you see me like this? Did I do you a favor? If so, shouldn't you thank me?"

Li Mu narrowed his eyes.

"I know you didn't let me come because you were afraid of my danger. But I told you that I'm not afraid! Besides, I knew I could help you a little bit, so I wanted to come! I'm not Did it really help you?"

Luoshen didn't give him a chance to speak, and continued to rush to speak.

"In order to arrive as soon as possible, I didn't sleep last night, and I was on the road. I was busy all day, and I didn't even have time to eat. Also, look at my hand..."

She showed him her ten fingers, which were reddened by the strings of the pipa.

"I don't have a suitable finger cot here, so I just use my finger. The scalp of my finger is going to be worn out. Did I say it hurts?"

"Also, if you are really kind and don't thank me for your revenge, and you still want to scold me, just scold me, and I will never retaliate! But with the second brother Jiang, don't blame him. I went to him and asked him to help me. of!"

Luo Shen grabbed the words in one breath and waited for him to speak.

After waiting for a long time, seeing that he still didn't say a word, he was staring at his two eyes, looking more and more strange and gloomy. So he got up from the bed, stood taller than him at once, raised his chin and shouted, "I did everything anyway! Nothing happened! What do you mean by looking like this?"

Li Mu stared at her small red mouth that was constantly opening and closing in front of him, gritted his teeth, stepped forward, and with a thud, knelt on the bed on one knee, stretched out his hand and pulled, then grabbed the arrogant Luoshen.

Luo Shen was startled when he saw his sudden change of face, and with a sound of "Ouch", the person was torn down on the pillow.

The small mouth that she opened in surprise, like a blossoming flower with fragrance, attracted wild bees and butterflies, and wanted to explore the sweetness hidden inside.

Li Mu firmly pressed her with his heavy body, stopping her struggle and resistance.

When she was obedient and quiet, he picked up her hand, grabbed her fingers, and kissed her fingertips one by one.

After kissing with one hand, switch to the other.

Luo Shen blushed quietly, pursed his lips, retracted his hand, and did not let him kiss.

His fingers slowly moved to her mouth, caressing the two charming lips that he had been staring at for a long time.

At first she seemed startled by his sudden move, closed her eyes, and let his fingers caress her lips.

After a while, those long eyelashes trembled slightly. She opened her eyes slowly, and she stretched out the tip of her tender red tongue and licked his fingers lightly.

After licking, he seemed to feel shy too, his face turned red again, his lips quickly closed like a frightened mussel, and he closed his eyes quickly, not daring to look at him again.

However, Li Mu was completely irrational because of her sudden innocence but full of infinite temptation.

The soft and slippery feeling that remained on his fingers after being licked by the tip of her tongue made the end of the back of his back suddenly feel a strong numbness.

His whole body shivered.

The burning sensation in his body that had tormented him all night suddenly burst out.

Can't take it anymore.

He kissed her and unbuttoned her shirt.

The girl's delicate body was wrapped in the men's clothes, with a belt around the waist, tied tightly. Like a loyal guard guarding her.

He couldn't get it out for a while, and he was impatient.

Accompanied by a crisp cracking sound. The shirt was torn.

Luo Shen had never seen him so gaffe before.

Even on that night long ago, when she had **** with him for the first time, he didn't seem to be so impatient now.

He was like a wild wolf, as if he was going to swallow her up immediately.

Luoshen didn't know why he made that action just now.

I just want to please him a little bit, I think he will like it.

Thinking about it, like a ghost, I licked it.

She didn't expect to provoke such a reaction from him.

She was nervous, shy, and excited.

In the bottom of my heart, I still feel a little proud.

It hurts a bit. She was in pain, babbled, and her teeth slammed into his shoulder. He slowly let go, panting, and coquettishly beside his ear: "Are you still scolding me? You were so fierce just now..."

The man didn't stop or make a sound.

Instead, it became more violent.

Hot sweat dripped drop by drop on her pure white breasts.

Luo Shen was so fascinated by him that he was in a trance. Maybe this moment was too good. Gradually, the sadness that had been haunting her these days grabbed her again, and burst into tears. A jade arm wrapped tightly around his neck, as if the next moment, he would pull away from him.

She bit his ear and asked vaguely, "Lang Jun...you like me...do you..."

The man remained silent, did not stop, but held her mouth and kissed her gently with his lips to answer her.

She was like a fish that was about to die. When he let go of her mouth, she took a breath and closed her eyes again, begging softly in his ear.

"Lang Jun...I don't want to go...I want to stay with you...But I can't bear to make Aye Aniang sad..."

"In the future, let's talk about it later... Now can you listen to what I have to say, Aye, and bow down to him, so that he can rest assured..."

"I can do things for you... I'll be nice to you... I'll do whatever you ask me to do... I'll listen to you..."

Vague soft words, with almost humble pleading and pity.

No matter how hard-hearted he is, he must also be moved.

Luoshen, however, felt the man's body holding him down and stopped slowly.

She opened her eyes and met his.

He stared at her with a dark, fiery **** in his eyes.

But the color seemed to be slowly fading.

Suddenly, as if he had come to his senses, Luoshen was under him and shivered.

Li Mu stared at her crimson face with tears, raised his hand, gently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, then slowly sat up from her, turned his back to her, and sat beside the bed.

Luo Shen immediately climbed up, stretched his arms, hugged his waist tightly from behind, put his face on his sweaty back, and begged: "Lang Jun, I was just talking nonsense. I also I said that out of nowhere. Don't take it seriously. I didn't mean to persecute you..."

She crawled up to him and hugged him tightly.

Li Mu picked her up, took out the clothes to wipe the sweat on her body, put her down, and covered her with a quilt.

"Ami, I went to see Gao Huan the day before yesterday. He was able to go to the ground. Presumably in a few days, the injury will heal. When he recovers, you'd better go back to Jiankang first. It's really not suitable for you to stay here."

He paused.

"Ami, I still mean what I said before. If you are willing to follow me, I hope you will wait for me for another year."

Luoshen looked at him, the red tide on his cheeks gradually faded, and a pale color appeared.

"A year later, even if you win Xijing, so what? Will I, Aye, let me follow you?"

"I just want to stay now and be with you. I'm not afraid of suffering."

"But you are so cruel."

she muttered.

"When my brother is healed, I'll listen to you and come back."

She closed her eyes.
