Great Swordsman

Chapter 4 The time has come!

"My lord, your small words have been notified."

An hour later, Zhang Ke returned to the county government office to report.

"What's your reaction?" Li Mu closed his eyes on the desk and meditated, the flickering candlelight illuminated his face in a cloudy and uncertain way, and the official authority... was like a prison!
Zhang Ke was terrified, quickly lowered his head, and said: "Zhao Butou said that he had an appointment with the county captain, and he wanted to talk at night by candlelight, so he couldn't come. Cheng Bantou said that he was old, and Yinshi might not be able to get up. Let the young one invite adults Forgive me."

The head of Cheng's name is Cheng Kong, the head of the station shift, and Zhang Ke's immediate boss.

"This old fritter doesn't care about him." Li Mu opened his eyes, "Where is Lin Xiaojing?"

"Boss Lin said he knew about it." Zhang Ke continued, "There are other people, and the younger ones have also been notified."

"Well, you did a good job, and you will get a tael of reward later." Li Mu ordered again, "You stay here tonight, and wake me up when Yinshi arrives!"

"Yes, my lord!" With the incentive of rewarding silver, Zhang Ke's morale was high.

……

The night was dark.

Six candles burned silently, Yin time finally arrived.

Zhang Ke came in with dark circles under his eyes: "My lord, it's Yin's time."

"Go get a basin of water." Li Mu opened his eyes, looking at the empty study room, feeling a little lost in his heart.

"Yes, my lord!"

After washing, Li Mu exercised his muscles and bones while silently reciting "Xiaoyaoyou". The loss in his heart disappeared quickly, and his heart gradually became calm.

About a quarter of an hour later, Zhang Ke suddenly came in and reported, "My lord, Team Leader Lin is here."

Li Mu's eyes lit up: "Let him in."

"My lord." Lin Youjing walked into the study, and bowed his hands outside the bead curtain to salute, "I invite you at Yinshi, I don't know what to order."

"Boss Lin, do you know what day it is today?" Li Mu was in a good mood.

"Returning to the adults, today is the second day of February, and the dragon looks up." Lin Youjing replied.

"It seems that you don't know yet." Li Mu threw out the imperial court's urgent report, "Look for yourself."

Lin Youjing took the notebook, read it quickly, and his expression changed drastically: "My lord, this..."

"This is not a secret. The county knows everything it needs to know. Do you understand what I mean?" Li Mu said.

Everyone in the county knows, this... is actually true?
Lin Youjing was startled. He thought of the county magistrate and the Shi family, the county magistrate and Zhao Tutou. The head catcher said that if he didn't take effect, it would be too late to regret in the future.

Could it be that because of the purple qi coming from the east, he would miss the great opportunity of the heavenly way to evolve his natal mind?

"My lord, you told me this because you want me...to serve you?" Lin Youjing frowned.

Over the past year, he has consciously seen through this foolish county magistrate, and if he really wanted to take effect, he would not be happy.

But this news is really important to him, it is a great opportunity, let him pay it back, he doesn't know what to pay it back.

Li Mu sensed his resistance, and said with a smile: "You are wrong, I don't want you to serve, as long as you do your duty as usual! Moreover, besides you, I have also notified other people, if you come , I will give him a chance! Don't burden yourself too much."

Lin Youjing was slightly relieved, and immediately became worried about what papers he had to memorize.

If he chooses an article randomly, he will not be reconciled!
At this time, 'Timely Rain' Li Mu got up in time, walked out of the curtain, handed "Song of Righteousness" to him, and said solemnly: "I hope you don't insult it!"

Lin Youjing took a look, and subconsciously read it silently: The world has righteousness, mixed with manifolds.The lower part is Heyue, and the upper part is the sun star.Yu Ren said Hao Ran, Pei Hu Sai Cang Ming...

For a moment, he only felt that the hairs all over his body stood up, as if thunder and lightning struck his body, stirring up a piece of chicken skin.

In his mind, mountains, rivers, mountains, sun, moon and stars are shining brightly, illuminating him!

But when I continued to read, I found that some people's names and quoted events were incomprehensible, and the mountains, rivers, mountains, sun, moon and stars in my mind suddenly went out.

"My lord, this is..." Lin Youjing was a little anxious and confused in surprise.

"This is a song of righteousness. If there is anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me." Li Mu reminded him that there is still more than half an hour before Ziqi comes from the east, and there is not much time.

Lin Youjing quickly suppressed her doubts and asked for advice carefully.

He didn't read much, but he didn't read a lot, and he was able to compose this poem with a very high literary spirit, and the first ode made him feel emotional, if he silently recited it when Ziqi came to the east...

He couldn't help feeling infinitely grateful to Li Mu, thinking in his heart: Although my lord is confused, but with today's kindness, I will protect him no matter what in the future!

Li Mu explained "Song of Righteous Qi", Lin Youjing didn't dare to question it, but accepted it completely, and then began to recite it.

"My lord, someone is here again." Zhang Ke led another person in at this time, and Li Mu saw that there were actually eight people.

Based on his memory, he recognized these people, the strong class Zhang Long and Zhang Hu, these two are Lin Youjing's left and right hands, and he did not expect to be able to read.

There are also two fast catchers, Liu Qi and Deng Yan, these two people can't deal with Zhao Butou, they can be used!

The station shift is led by Cheng Kong, an old fritter, and if one of them doesn't come, there will be a raging nest!
As for the remaining four people, they were Song Dian, Kuding Zhoucang, watchman Xu Tong, and groom Yang Ma.

Li Mu was taken aback, it was enough for him to be literate, but the other three were a watchman, a carriage driver, and a warehouse keeper, why are you here to join in the fun?
"My lord." Zhang Ke trotted over and said in a low voice, "Zhou Cang used to be a county Chinese scholar, but he offended the county magistrate, so he was transferred to Kuding. Xu Tong inherited his father's career and studied a lot when he was young. Yang Ma He used to be a book boy from a wealthy family, but later the family fell into decline and became a groom."

What else could Li Mu say, he nodded and said, "Since we're here, let's go together."

Li Mu told them again what he said to Lin Youjing, and asked them to follow Lin Youjing to recite and understand together.

When everyone learned that the purple qi came from the east, the aura revived, and saw the impassioned and upright spirit of "Song of Righteousness", they felt infinitely grateful.

This is human nature, but how long this feeling can be remembered varies from person to person.

Li Mu didn't force it, he just hoped that they could help him contain one or two in the future battle!
Li Mu's eyes flashed brightly. Through Han Qingqian's suicide, he has already realized that the conflict between himself and the county magistrate and others cannot be reconciled, because the purple energy comes from the east, and the spiritual energy recovers. There are so many treasures in heaven and earth, this Qingping County is neither big nor small, it has a radius of hundreds of miles!
To whom does this opportunity within a radius of a hundred miles belong?
Also, in the southwest of Qingping County, along the Lancang River, is the Hengduan Mountains, which stretch for thousands of miles. There are many mountains, deep forests and luxuriant trees. What kind of rich opportunities have been spawned?

If Qingping County can be controlled, in the future...

Li Mu took a deep breath and was ready to fight.

It's good to win, but it's okay to lose, the big deal is to go to the end of the world alone!
In the study, outside the bead curtain, nine people including Lin Youjing were reciting "Song of Righteous Qi", and the atmosphere was hot.

Inside the bead curtain, Li Mu calmed down and recited "Xiaoyaoyou" silently, waiting for the purple air to come from the east.

at the same time.

Three miles outside the county, Shifu.

In the front yard, all the literate members of the Shi family gathered together, led by Butler Sun, each recited a small essay.

In the backyard, Shi Zhongyu held the Pingguo article written by the great Confucianist of the previous dynasty, shaking his head and reciting, fascinated.

Not far away, Shi Gandang held the scriptures of Huanxi Zen in his hands, his eyes glowed.

……

South of Zhongcheng County.

Qian Family Mansion.

In the spacious living room, County Captain Qian Wanjun opened the window to look at the moon, his eyes were as fierce as a tiger, and in his hand was a scroll of martial arts written by a great scholar of the dynasty.

Behind him, Zhao Tian, ​​the head catcher, brought a few confidant catchers, sweating profusely.

……

The county magistrate Su's compound.

Su Yuan looked at the more than 23 people in front of him with relief. They were ten professors from the county academy and [-] confidant students. These people would be the foundation for his rise!

"Everyone, the time has come." Su Yuan smiled reservedly.
