Great Swordsman

Chapter 173
To be honest, Li Mu didn't want to bring the doll with him when he went to Lingyun Buddha. He had an intuition that the 'Xinhua' would probably cause competition from various forces, and bringing the doll would seriously hinder him!
But he can't do anything with the doll, this girl can escape from the ground, no one in the family can watch her!

If Li Mu didn't bring it, the baby would definitely follow her. With her speed, she would definitely get lost in the end and be captured by people or monsters.

Fortunately, he is not alone in this battle of hearts and flowers.

First of all, the Imperial Academy must have arranged a lot of people to work on the Lingyun Buddha, otherwise, why did the sender insist on going first?
Secondly, the word Ling family was written on that paper!

In Lingyun County, the Ling family is the number one family, not only holding a large number of official positions such as county guards and county captains, but also all the rivers and rivers in Lingyun County are under the control of the Ling family!
It can be said that in Lingyun County, the Ling family is the earth emperor!

Li Mu guessed that the Hanlin Academy should form an alliance with the Ling family to fight for Xinhua together, so Li Mu dared to bring the doll!

Lingyun County is adjacent to Nanke County, Li Mu originally wanted to go directly with the sword, but the baby was clamoring for fish, so he had no choice but to detour Xihua County and take a boat down the Chunjiang River.

The baby was very happy, and asked the boatman for a fishing rod with experience. Hey, he ran to the side of the boat to fish, but because it was going down the river, the speed of the boat was very fast, and the baby didn't catch a single fish after fishing for a long time arrive!

The baby was wronged, her big watery eyes were covered with mist, her fleshy little hands grabbed Li Mu's robe, and said with her head held high, "Li Mu, I can't catch~I want to eat fish~"

Li Mu took out the purple gold gourd, pulled out the cork and put it under the baby's eyes, and said mercilessly, "Find it yourself!"

"Hmmmm..." The doll pouted, blinked her big eyes, the water mist condensed, but she just didn't fall off.

Li Mu was also very anxious: Are you crying or not?
"If you fish by yourself, you can fish by yourself~huh~" The baby has a lot of backbone, she insists on not crying, grabs the fishing rod and continues to fish. After a while, her head bit by bit, and fell asleep cleanly.

"My lord, we have already entered Nanke County." As night fell, the captain of the boat came to report the itinerary and brought a pot of steaming fish head soup!
In his sleep, the baby shrugged its nose, walked over as if sleepwalking, and stretched out its claws at the fish head soup.

Li Mu slapped her awake.

Waking up in pain, the baby opened her eyes and saw the steaming fish head soup, and immediately forgot the pain: "Fish head soup~"

Excitedly, she ran to find the bowls and chopsticks, ate the fish and drank the soup.

Li Mu had already bigued, and was indifferent to the fish head soup served by the boat boss, and sat on the side looking at the river view.

"Why don't you eat, son?" The boss of the boat stepped forward. He was in his early forties, with a full beard and a reckless temperament.

"I'm not hungry." Li Mu shook his head.

The boat boss laughed and said, "My lord, my fish head soup is the best in Spring River. I guarantee that you won't be able to stop after drinking a bowl!"

"Yeah, yum~" the baby nodded repeatedly from behind.

Li Mu changed the subject with a smile, and asked, "Boatman, you often run boats on the river, do you know Lingyun Buddha?"

The boat boss said: "Who doesn't know the Lingyun Giant Buddha? The 2000-meter stone Buddha beside the Mang River is said to be carved in Lingyun Temple more than [-] years ago. I even went to see it on purpose. That guy is really tall and mighty!"

He told Li Mu that the lower reaches of the Chunjiang River flow into the Mang River, where the river is quite fast-moving and enters the Lingyun County river area, if you want to take a boat to see the Lingyun Buddha, you have to get on the boat of the Ling family!
"However, although the Lingyun Giant Buddha is magnificent, it's just that. Compared with the girls from Honghua Xiaozhu in Nanke County, it's not worth mentioning at all!" The boss of the boat showed longing eyes, and said, "The girls there are gentle and kind. Small and cute, dignified and elegant, comparable to everyone's ladies! Especially the three young masters are beautiful and talented, and I am fortunate enough to meet them from afar. One goes home, tsk tsk..."

Meidi Ruan, Meidi Ruan... The boss of the boat swallowed excitedly, as if he had already married the pretty beauty from Honghua Xiaozhu.

Li Mu shook his head beside him: A country girl, is she also worthy of being called stunning?
Seeing the expression on Li Mu's face, the boss of the boat became anxious: "Looking at your appearance, you don't seem to believe it?"

"It's not because I don't believe it, but..." The beautiful face of Queen Qin Mengyao appeared in Li Mu's mind, and he sighed slightly, "It used to be difficult for water."

"Master, you are not very old, and your tone is not small!" The boss of the boat laughed and said, "Dare to ask, sir, have you been to Honghua Xiaozhu?"

Li Mu shook his head.

The boss of the boat curled his lips and thought: I have never been to Honghua Xiaozhu, so I have never seen the three little masters. Heh, you have green onions in your nose, what are you pretending to be.

The boat boss was about to say something more when he suddenly saw a red flower boat floating on the river in front of him, brightly lit and covered with black silk curtains.

Am I dazzled... The boss of the boat wiped his eyes, looked at the front in disbelief, and said excitedly: "It's Honghua Xiaozhu's boat, it's Honghua Xiaozhu's boat!!"

Honghua Xiaozhu... Li Mu's heart skipped a beat: "Could it be that you came to look for me?"

"My lord, you are joking. How is it possible that Honghua Xiaozhu's boat..." The boss of the boat couldn't help but want to criticize Li Mu, but before he could finish speaking, he heard a clear and lively voice from the flower boat on the opposite side: "There is Li Mu on the boat. Master Li?"

It's really looking for me... Li Mu felt that the voice was a bit familiar, like the maid named so-and-so beside Yan Hanyu.

"Li Mu, I'm looking for you~" Baby heard the voice, sucked the fish soup from her fingers, and ran over on her lotus root-like legs, "Who are you~"

Her small but loud voice spread far away, and Honghua Xiaozhu's boat drove over immediately.

"Little baby, don't make trouble. Although Honghua Xiaozhu is a brothel, it is said that after the recovery of spiritual energy, all members practiced. Especially some time ago, they got an ancient quatrain. Many girls realized the unique knowledge from it and shocked Nanke. Now, Honghua Hua Xiaozhu is the most powerful sect in Nanke!" The boss of the boat told the baby to keep his voice down, so as not to annoy the opposite party.

"It's for Li Mu~" the baby stomped her feet and shouted.

At this time, the flower boat had come to the front, and everyone looked around, and saw several girls standing at the bow of the boat, the leader was a round-faced girl in white skirt, who was enthusiastically waving at Li Mu: "Mr. Li, long time no see! I am Tweety! Master, do you still remember me?"

It turned out to be Tweety... Li Mu smiled and said, "Remember, Tweety is lively and cute, how can I forget?"

"Master Li is able to remember Tweet, it is Tweet's blessing." Tweet happily winked at the little sister next to her, as if to say: Look, I will say that Mr. Li remembers me!

"Is it really Mr. Li?"

"So handsome~"

"My elder sister realized a sword formula from his poems, and ordered me to practice the disciple ritual when I see him in the future!"

Several little girls chattered around Tweety, their innocent eyes glanced shyly over Li Mu from time to time.

"..." The corner of the boss's mouth twitched slightly: Is this ship a fake Honghua Xiaozhu?
What about your modesty?

What about your dignity?

The boss of the boat slandered in his heart, but looked at Li Mu in shock on his face.

He has dealt with these noble people a lot, and he knows that these people are calm on the surface, but in his heart, he likes it!
They pretended to be aggressive, if you didn't show a shocked face, they might even hate you!

The boss of the boat was triumphant.

However, after Li Mu glanced at him, he shook his head slightly: No matter how shocked a person is, it can only last for one second, and shocks of more than one second are all fake...

You old six, you can really act!

"Mr. Li, after sister Yan'er heard about the Lingyun Buddha, she guessed that you might go down the river, so she sent Tweet to wait for you." Tweet warmly invited, "Mr. Li, there are still three days until the ninth day of the lunar new year. It's still early, why don't you come to Xiaozhu for a short rest, and let us do our best as landlords, okay?"

"Is there any roast duck to eat?" the baby jumped up and grabbed the pole of the boat, propping up half of his head and asked.

"Yes!" Tweety cried.

"Li Mu, go, Li Mu, go." When the baby heard that there was roast duck to eat, she immediately grabbed Li Mu's sleeve and yelled.

"If that's the case, then I'll be disrespectful." Li Mu struggled with half the salary, and finally agreed with embarrassment under the envious and jealous eyes of the boat boss.

Aren't you the girl who knew Honghua Xiaozhu?

What's so amazing?
Pretending to be a wolf with a big tail.

The boss of the boat slandered in his heart, but asked cooperatively: "Master, this girl Yan'er..."

"Oh, Yan'er, Yan Hanyu is one of the three young masters of Honghua Xiaozhu." Li Mu said lightly, "The last time we met, I was given a pot of tea as a gift. I like to drink tea."

"It turned out to be invited by the young master..." The boss of the boat shrank his pupils, his whole body smelled sour, but he couldn't help being shocked, "Young master is really hiding something!"

Li Mu picked up the doll with one hand, patted him on the shoulder with the other, and said, "You did a good job, don't do it next time."

After the words fell, he rose against the wind and flew to Honghua Xiaozhu's boat.

"My lord..." The boss of the boat was taken aback. He didn't expect his proud acting skills to be discovered. He hurriedly apologized to Li Mu.

When he raised his head again, Honghua Xiaozhu's boat had already gone away.

……

"Master Li, this way please." Cui'er waited for Li Mu to disembark, and hurriedly led him and Wawa into the inner cabin.

The little girls around her stood apart and bowed in salute.

The scent was tangy, and the doll sneezed twice on the spot, and shouted: "Roast duck, I want to eat roast duck~"

"Yeah, I'll tell the kitchen to do it right away." Tweety responded positively.

Entering the inner cabin, there is a small hall, a young woman in red is standing, revealing her delicate white collarbone, under the collarbone is an exaggerated and full arc, which is thrilling.

Her face is extremely charming, especially her eyes, which are like peach blossoms, she wants to refuse but still welcomes, her lips are painted with red rouge, glowing with water, and she smiles before saying a word: "Liu Lan has seen the young master. Please forgive me."

"Liu Lan?" Li Mu looked at Cui'er beside her.

Cui'er hurriedly introduced: "Mr. Li, sister Lan'er is one of the three young masters of my Honghua Xiaozhu."

"It turns out to be the young master Lan'er." Li Mu observed carefully, and found that Liu Lan was several years older than Yan'er, with a plump and mature figure, like a ripe peach, as if you could squeeze out water with a light pinch ~
This is a familiar lady!

"Tweety, you go down first." Liu Lan said with a smile.

"Yes, sister Lan'er." Cui'er saluted and turned to close the door.

"My lord, please." Liu Lan invited Li Mu to sit down, she began to make tea with slender hands, she glanced at the doll, and said, "Is this the younger sister of the lord?"

"That's right, sister from the Yuanfang clan, she knows how to eat when she's young and doesn't care about anything. Don't take offense to my master Lan'er." Li Mu laughed.

"When will the roast duck come?" Doll looked up and asked.

"It'll be here soon." Li Mu knocked on the forehead, telling her to stop talking.

"Sister She is so innocent, I love her before it's too late, how can I be offended." Liu Lan smiled, her red lips glistened with water, plump and sexy, revealing a row of white teeth.

"By the way, why don't you see Yan'er?" Li Mu was a little surprised.

"Yan'er has something to do outside, and I know that the young master may pass by Nanke County, so I must take you back to Xiaozhu, as a kindness to the landlord." Liu Lan made tea and poured a cup for Li Mu and Wawa each, " Young master, please."

Li Mu took a sip, the tea was clear and slightly bitter, but it soon returned to sweetness, which was quite strange.

And the doll... She glanced at the tea leaves soaked in the water, her expression changed drastically: "I don't drink it, I don't drink it~ the same kind don't..."

"She only eats meat." Li Mu quickly covered her mouth.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..." the baby struggled to cry twice, but fortunately, the roast duck came up after a while, and finally blocked her mouth.

Liu Lan refilled Li Mu's tea by the side, and casually told some anecdotes about Nanke County to pass the time.

After leaving the Spring River, the flower boat sailed along a tributary for a while, and finally docked at around [-]:[-] pm.

"Master Lan'er, Mr. Li, we're here." Tweety's voice came from outside the cabin.

"My lord, please." Liu Lan got up, her plump figure was under the red dress with bare shoulders, thin waist and legs, she was extremely graceful and very tempting!
Li Mu silently recited the Bingxin Jue, which should not be underestimated!
When he came to the deck, Li Mu found that the red flower building is a water pavilion, and the corridors are dotted with bright red flowers, which are full of flowers.

It's just a little cold at this time.

This is not like what a brothel should look like.

Liu Lan seemed to see what Li Mu was thinking, and said with a smile: "My lord, now that Honghua Xiaozhu is slowly approaching the sect, from now on, I'm afraid I won't be in the brothel business anymore. Speaking of which, I have to thank you, lord. "

"Thank me?" Li Mu responded quickly, "Because of that poem?"

"Exactly." Liu Lan said seriously, "My son's poems are majestic and unparalleled, and many of my sisters in Honghua Xiaozhu have realized it. If it weren't for this, we would not be able to stand out from the many forces in Nanke County and cooperate with the county guard. ... the grace of rebuilding, Honghua Xiaozhu will never forget it."

What do you cooperate with the Sheriff?
Li Mu smiled calmly and said, "Young Master Lan'er, you are serious. It is your own good fortune that you can get something from the poem."

Liu Lan didn't argue, and smiled and invited him into a water pavilion, where a banquet had already been set up, and there was a handsome musician kneeling by the side, playing the piano and the violin.

"My lord, Lan'er is making a fool of herself." Liu Lan took off her shoes, jumped barefoot into the water pavilion, and danced with the moon.

Flying black silk, slender jade arms, under the red skirt, a pair of round and straight white long legs appear and disappear, and the waves beside the water pavilion ripple in the moonlight, coupled with that charming delicate face and talking big Eyes, Li Mu was almost intoxicated.
