The counterattack of the villains

Chapter 126 The first meeting with Meng Tian and Yi Xiaochuan will return

Li Mu explained to Xiaoyue what she said to Fusu earlier, and asked her to say that he was a good friend of the elder brother in her clan when someone asked her about her relationship with Li Mu.

Xiaoyue took care to remember that this was related to her own fate, how could she dare to take it lightly.

Li Mu was not in a hurry to arrange for Xiaoyue to study, he arranged for her to live first, and he would greet her every day, caring for her meticulously.

Until she fully adapted to the life in the Prince's Mansion, she became natural when facing herself and was no longer so restrained.

Li Mu is not a straight and upright person, sometimes he is humorous, sometimes gentle, making his ordinary appearance respectable and amiable.

In her heart, Xiaoyue gradually treats Li Mu like her own brother.

Taking care of the son's mansion is easier than Li Mu imagined, because the superior does not need to do everything himself, but only needs to make appropriate decisions on some important matters.

Although the position of Zhan Shi in the Prince's Mansion has been vacant, the configuration of other positions is basically complete.

It's just that Fusu has never found a person who is capable of coordinating the overall situation and worthy of his trust. He has always taken care of the son's mansion himself.

To him, Li Mu is no different from his left and right hands, allowing him to finally be freed from internal affairs and devote all his energy to state affairs.

As the eldest son of the first emperor, the invisible prince of Qin, he also wanted to participate in political affairs and share the worries of the first emperor.

There should be nine subordinates under Li Mu, but currently there are eight, and one deputy is missing. The official position is "Zhan Shicheng".

There wasn't even Zhan Shicheng before, so naturally it was impossible to have Zhan Shicheng.

Candidates for this position depend entirely on the way of the master's imperial family.

If the main family pursues the way of imperial servants with balance and restraint, then Zhan Shicheng will usually be appointed by the main family himself.

That person doesn't have to be capable, but he is definitely a confidant of the Lord's family.

However, such a situation would often affect work efficiency and lead to gang formation and confrontation, so Fusu naturally disdained it.

What he pursues is not to use people who are suspicious, and not to be suspicious when employing people.

Li Mu himself is equivalent to his confidant, and he trusts him very much. Naturally, there is no need to arrange another Zhan Shicheng to restrain him.

Therefore, he would not personally assign Zhan Shicheng's position, but leave it to Li Mu to arrange it himself.

Because this candidate must be someone who can help Li Mu, not someone who hinders him.

At present, there are no good candidates for Li Mu, so there is only a temporary vacancy.

There are certain advantages to this position being left vacant. If his subordinates want to occupy this position, they have to work harder.

Li Mu's eight subordinate officials are respectively in charge of various matters of the Prince's Mansion.

He didn't point fingers too much, but just had a comprehensive understanding of the work of the previous officials, so that he knew what he knew.

The eight subordinate officials are...

Household order: in charge of punishment, food, storage, servants and other matters in the house.

Guard rate: In charge of the guards in the mansion, guards and personal soldiers are not the same thing, and the two sides do not interfere with each other.

Rate change orders: palm leakage engraving, etiquette and music, etc.

Zhongshuzi: Mainly responsible for serving Fusu, equivalent to life secretary.

Scheeren: Responsible for the paperwork of Fusu.

Washing horses: When Fusu travels, washing horses is the forerunner, which is equivalent to pioneering the way, usually served by the backbone of the soldiers.

Young concubine: in charge of the common affairs in the mansion, such as garden sweeping, moving and carrying and other miscellaneous tasks.

Gongzi servant: In charge of the chariots and horses in the mansion, mainly in charge of the stables.

These eight subordinate officials have basically shared all the affairs of the Young Master's Mansion, and they only need to be responsible for their own part to ensure the normal operation of the Young Master's Mansion.

Li Mu's main duty is to make decisions on some matters as the person in charge when Fusu is not in the mansion.

At the same time, he screened out which matters needed to be reported to Fusu for adjudication, and which matters he could handle directly.

All in all, this is a relatively leisurely position, but it has a lot of power and responsibility, and Li Mu can handle it with ease.

……

Today, after having dinner with Xiaoyue, the brother and sister took a walk in the courtyard to digest food, Li Mu finally brought up his plan to her.

"Xiaoyue, this is a world where the strong are respected. If you want to stand firm in this world, you must have a skill, at least you must have the ability to protect yourself."

"I see that you don't have much to do on weekdays, and it's rather boring. Why don't you learn some martial arts with me, so that you can protect yourself and strengthen your body. What do you think?"

Xiaoyue's eyes brightened, and she said expectantly: "Can I really do it? Is it too late to practice martial arts now?"

Li Mudao: "No problem, you are only under 17 years old, there is still time to learn martial arts, and my brother's martial arts are different from ordinary martial arts, it is not so tiring, as long as you keep working hard, you will definitely become a master."

Xiaoyue happily said: "Xiaoyue is willing to practice martial arts with brother, brother can teach me!"

Li Mu nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, let's start today! I will teach you a set of methods that can strengthen your muscles and bones, and then I will teach you the method of breathing and guiding in the evening."

"Uh-huh."

Xiaoyue's aptitude and savvy gave Li Mu a surprise, her foundation was surprisingly good.

It turns out that she has learned dance since she was a child, and she is especially good at the sword dance of Western Chu. Later generations commented on her: she is beautiful, talented, and beautiful in dancing.

To dance the Western Chu Sword Dance well, in addition to the flexibility of the body, it also requires a certain amount of waist and arm strength.

It only took her a few hours to get started with the moving skills in the chapter of Yi Jin Bone Forging. Because of her deep dance skills, she quickly reached the point of smoothness, harmony and flowing water.

After night fell, the two returned to the room. Li Mu used his own power to open up the meridians of her whole body, and at the same time used his own internal power as a guide to let her remember the practice route of the Little Wuxiang Gong.

Afterwards, he passed on the mental method of Xiao Wuxiang Gong to her, explained it in detail, and told her exactly how to do it, and let her try to breathe out the exercises by herself.

In just five days, she developed her first ray of inner strength and entered the door of inner strength cultivation.

Li Mu entrusted his inner strength mentality to Peng Zu's qigong Daoyin technique, Xiaoyue didn't know it, but she didn't think much about it, she just practiced with her heart.

After a year like this, Xiaoyue's muscles and bones were greatly strengthened due to her long-term practice of Yi Jin Bone Forging Chapter.

In addition, he has achieved a little success in internal strength, the foundation is already solid, and he can start practicing martial arts.

Li Mu first taught her the skills of Lingbo micro-stepping and snake-walking raccoon turning, and first learned the lightness kung fu and body skills, so that she can gain combat power as quickly as possible.

Because after you have achieved some lightness kungfu and body skills, even if you don't know any martial arts moves, you can still have a good lethality by hacking and stabbing with a sword in your hand.

Duan Yu took two days to practice Lingbo Weibu, while Xiaoyue was taught by Li Mu himself, and it only took one day to practice it.

After half a month, Lingbo Weibu has practiced perfectly, and he has also achieved a little success in the skill of turning snakes and raccoons.

Li Mu organized a game in his own courtyard, and asked a group of servant girls to catch her. Those who successfully caught her were rewarded.

Li Mu was on the sidelines teaching her how to flexibly use Lingbo Weibu, this is to train her to achieve the state of doing whatever she wants, not sticking to the order of steps.

In the end, none of the maids and servants caught Xiaoyue, but Li Mu also gave everyone rewards, but they didn't get much reward after catching Xiaoyue as he promised.

Seeing that the maids and servants didn't have any effect, Li Mu simply called the guards of the Fuzhong and asked him to arrange a few guards with high martial arts skills to cooperate with Xiaoyue in practicing kung fu.

He re-established a rule that anyone who can successfully capture Xiaoyue will be rewarded heavily.

When the guards took action, Xiaoyue's pressure suddenly increased, and the effect of honing her footwork and body skills was much stronger than that of maids and servants.

In the first two days, she was caught several times by the guards, but after several days, no matter how well the guards cooperated, they couldn't catch her anymore.

Her practice of body and footwork also came to an end here, and Li Mu finally began to teach her boxing, sword and spear skills.

Li Mu's Tianlong world martial arts mastered basically requires deep internal strength to support, and Xiaoyue is naturally unable to practice now.

So what Li Mu taught her was the Dafumo Fist, the Sky Sword and the Zhongjia Spear.

Although these martial arts say that the deeper the internal strength, the greater the power, but the lower limit is relatively low, the requirements for internal strength are not so strict, and the power can be exerted even when the internal strength is not deep.

This Daqin weapon, the spear, is relatively light and light, after all, it is a wooden pole, only one head is made of metal, and the sword is a little heavier.

If it hadn't been for Xiaoyue's long-term practice of the Changing Muscles and Bone Forging Chapter, and her internal strength has improved, it would be really difficult to control this Daqin bronze sword.

Although Daqin's iron smelting technology is already very advanced, it does not mean that iron swords are necessarily better than bronze swords.

In this era, iron swords are harder and lighter than bronze swords, but their toughness is poor and they are easy to break.

If the sword body is not easy to break, the thickness of the sword body must be increased, so the weight will naturally increase, and there is no advantage compared to the bronze sword.

Therefore, the Qin army was mainly equipped with bronze swords, and iron was mainly used for spears and arrow clusters and other unbreakable weapons.

Only iron swords made by some top craftsmen can surpass bronze swords in performance.

But such iron swords are mostly collected by royal family members or top dignitaries.

Fusu did have one, but it was his saber, and it was impossible to give it away, so Xiaoyue had no choice but to use the bronze sword.

Li Mu planned to release the more advanced method of iron and steel smelting after a while, when Xiaoyue's martial arts came to the fore, and he could get away to do other things without his guidance.

He has also worked in the Prince's Mansion for more than a year, and his foundation has long been solid. He has completely integrated into Daqin, and it is time to move up his title.

……

On this day, after Li Mu finished dealing with the affairs that needed him to handle in the mansion, he still returned to his residence to teach Xiaoyue how to practice martial arts and swords.

Kneeling behind the desk, watching Xiaoyue tossing and turning with graceful posture in the field, Li Mu suddenly became interested.

This also seems to be a good opportunity to spread his literary name.

Immediately, he fetched several volumes of diabolo slips, pens and ink, and unfolded them on the desk.

It's also fortunate that Duan Yanqing had learned Xiaozhuan when he was the crown prince, otherwise Li Mu wouldn't even be able to recognize the characters if he replaced it.
After he unfolded the bamboo slips, he suddenly heard two footsteps, one of which was very familiar, it was Fusu's.

His eyes flickered slightly, he pretended not to know, without moving, he wrote on the bamboo slips with a pen.

There are only three words in the first line: Yu Ji Fu.

Xiaoyue is a member of the Yu clan in Kuaiji. The Yu clan was originally a prominent family in Wuzhong, so her full name is Yu Xiaoyue.

Ji is a kind of good name for women, so calling Xiaoyue Yuji is completely fine, it's not that she was called Yuji after she married Xiang Yu.

On the corridor, Fusu walked slowly side by side with a middle-aged man.

This man has a strong figure, a majestic expression, a square face and a wide mouth, with the awe-inspiring air of a general.

The two of them looked at Xiaoyue who was practicing sword in the courtyard, and they both had amazement in their eyes.

Fusu was amazed that Xiaoyue has only been in the mansion for more than a year, and she has already learned such a superb swordsmanship. It seems that Gao Qing is not only strong in martial arts, but also a master.

The majestic man put himself in the position of confronting Xiaoyue, and found that he might not be able to do three moves or two moves.

Because Xiaoyue drew the sword so fast, he couldn't react in time, he couldn't help but secretly surprised, wondering why she could be so fast.

Fusu was about to make a sound, but the man raised his hand to stop him.

He quietly watched Xiaoyue practice the sword, but Fusu quietly walked behind Li Mu to check what he wrote.

After reading a few words, his eyes lit up, and he almost couldn't help clapping his hands.

Li Mu's writing speed was very fast, and the excellent handwriting inherited from Duan Yanqing was also appreciated by Fusu.

Soon, one volume of bamboo slips was finished and spread aside to let the ink dry. Li Mu opened the second volume of diabolo slips.

He suddenly muttered to himself: "The bamboo slips are too troublesome, it seems that it's time to put papermaking on the agenda."

He continued to write while speaking.

After Xiaoyue finished practicing a set of sword skills, she let out a breath of foul air after closing her posture.

When I turned around, I saw Fusu, who was about to go forward to pay respects, but saw him make a silent movement.

Seeing this, Xiaoyue stopped her voice, stood on tiptoe and walked gently behind Li Mu. After seeing what Li Mu wrote, her face flushed bright red, and she was a little shy.

Brother is also true, how can I write as well as you, it just makes people laugh.

After a while, the Fu with hundreds of words was finally finished, using two volumes of bamboo slips.

There is no doubt that Li Mu was doing something that most time travelers would do, copying books.

However, because the current scene does not match the original text, he revised and deleted a lot.

It only simply describes Xiaoyue's grace and beauty when she dances the sword, and does not involve the original author's expression of admiration or the content of his divergent imagination.

Li Mu put down his pen and looked up into the field, as if he was startled because Xiaoyue wasn't there.

Then he turned his head and looked around, and finally found that Xiaoyue and Fusu were standing behind him.

One was looking at him with a smile, the other was full of shame and joy, and beside him was a burly man with a strong aura standing still.

Li Mu hurriedly got up to pay respects and said: "This subordinate has seen the young master, but I didn't know that the young master is coming, so this subordinate is rude."

Fu Su waved his hands and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, Gao Qing's literary talents have opened my eyes, once this poem is published, not only Gao Qing will become famous, but Xiaoyue will also become famous all over the world, making the world's talents yearn for."

After hearing Fusu's words, Xiaoyue felt even more embarrassed.

The burly man at the side stepped forward and picked up a roll of bamboo slips, and recited: "Light as a frightened bird, graceful as a dragon swimming. Rong Yaoqiu Chrysanthemum, Huamao Chunsong..."

"The body is fast and flying, and it is erratic like a god. The waves walk lightly, and the socks are dusty. The movement is impermanent, and it is dangerous.

When the man recited "Fu of Concubine Yu", Fusu narrowed his eyes slightly and shook his head.

Xiaoyue is thoughtful, isn't the following paragraph the essence of Lingbo Weibu that my brother taught?

In the past, she knew what it was but didn't know why, Li Mu just tried to make her master it as soon as possible, and didn't say much about the relevant martial arts theory.

Now that she heard this Yu Ji Fu, her understanding of Lingbo Weibu has deepened, which is also one of Li Mu's purposes for writing this Fu.

After reading Yu Ji's Fu, the man praised: "Good Ci Fu, Mr. Gao has a brilliant literary talent, I admire it."

"The most wonderful thing is that this Fu seems to imply an extremely clever way of advancing, retreating and avoiding. Combining martial arts and Fu, Gao Jun is indeed a genius."

Li Mu said humbly: "Your Excellency, my lord, who is this?"

Fu Su smiled and said: "Let me introduce to you, this is my Great Qin General, General Meng Tianmeng, the internal history of the court."

Li Mu looked astonished, he clasped his fists in a salute, and said, "It's actually General Meng in front of you, sorry for your disrespect."

Meng Tian smiled and said: "Gao Jun, you are welcome. The harness and crossbow you created greatly increased the combat power of our Qin cavalry, and beat the Xiongnu and Zhu Rongdi to pieces."

"At the same time, it also greatly reduced the sacrifices of the brothers in the army. This is a meritorious service that will benefit the present and benefit the future. Meng Tian will take the robes of all the soldiers and thank you Gaojun."

After speaking, he clasped his fists to Li Mu, Li Mu hurriedly stepped forward to help Meng Tian up, and said: "I dare not be a general, please get up quickly."

After helping Meng Tian up, Li Mu sighed: "The soldiers are throwing their heads and blood to defend the country in the frontier, and we are enjoying the peace that the soldiers have exchanged for their lives. It is nothing to make a mere contribution. ?”

Meng Tian's eyes flashed with brilliance, and his affection for Li Mu increased greatly, and Xiaoyue looked at her elder brother with a look of admiration and admiration.

Fusu was full of admiration for him, and couldn't help saying loudly: "Well said, if there are more people like Gao Qing in the world, how can I, Da Qin, be unhappy?"

Meng Tian nodded his head, obviously very much in agreement with this statement.

After Fusu finished speaking, he asked curiously: "Just now I heard Gao Qing mention the 'paper-making technique'. I don't know what thaumaturgy is it?"

Li Mu smiled and said, "It's not a thaumaturgy, it's also a kind of erotic technique."

Fu Su smiled at Meng Tian with great interest: "Gao Qing's strange obscenity skills are all great fun, why don't we sit down in the room and listen to him in detail?"

Meng Tian happily said: "Alright."

Li Mu stretched out his hand and said, "Young Master please, General Meng please."

"Please, Mr. Gao."

After Fusu and Mengtian walked into the house, Li Mu said to Xiaoyue again: "Xiaoyue, go take a shower and change clothes first! Let's practice here first."

"Okay brother." Xiaoyue put the long sword back into the scabbard, then picked up the two scrolls of bamboo slips and went to her room.

Entering the hall, the three of them knelt down around a short table, and Li Mu said eloquently: "The so-called papermaking technique means that subordinates can use hemp, bark, bamboo and rice sheets to make paper that can be used for writing like silk. "

"The bamboo slips are too heavy, and it's really inconvenient to use. His Majesty's daily government affairs may cost hundreds of catties, and the silk and silk are too rare and precious to be used on a large scale."

"Paper is lighter and more suitable for writing than silk, and the material is very cheap and common, so it can completely replace bamboo slips and silk."

After listening to Li Mu's description, Fu Su and Meng Tian became excited.

Fu Su said excitedly: "If Gao Qing can really make paper, it will be another great achievement in the present age, which will benefit the future! When is Gao Qing going to start?"

Li Mudao: "The specific steps of papermaking have been written by my subordinates in the past few days, and they can start tomorrow."

Fu Su happily said: "Okay, then I will ask Gao Qing to take care of this matter, I am waiting for your good news."

Li Mu said with a smile: "You must not disappoint you."

After Li Mu finished speaking, he looked at Meng Tian again, and continued, "In addition to papermaking, based on the appearance of horse gear, my subordinates also have some ideas for improving the Qin army's weapons."

"This matter still needs to cooperate with General Meng to make it happen. I don't know if General Meng will be free in the near future."

Meng Tian's eyes lit up, and he said, "I am ordered by His Majesty to go to the border to meet the princess who came to marry the little country of Tu'an. I don't have any free time in the near future."

"However, I can first send my deputy general Gao Jun to listen to the order. When I return, I will cooperate with Gao Jun."

Li Mu's heart moved, Meng Tian was going to pick up Yu Shu, which meant that Yi Xiaochuan was coming back soon.

I don't know how he will react when he sees himself now and knows what he has done.
