Chapter 255 I don’t have any other choice
The boy knew that the little girl had been here and had just left, exclaiming that it was a pity.

"Where does that little girl live?" The boy knew that this was the person his general had been looking for, so he asked more.

"Oh, this... I was so happy that I forgot to ask."

The boy frowned, but it didn't help. He thought for a while and said, "Let's do this. If that girl comes again, you must ask her to go to General Mu's house."

"General Mu?" This surname is not common. The owner of the bookstore has been open for a long time, and he has many people to meet and interact with.

He concealed his excitement, "But which General Mu has just returned from victory?"

The boy nodded. He made the decision privately. I don't know whether the general agreed with it or not, but since he said it, let's make it clear, "Yes, it's him."

"Oh, he is the great hero of our Daqi Kingdom. I didn't expect that the person who often comes to our store is General Mu Da. A villain cannot see Taishan. Little brother, wait a moment. General Mu Da likes to read. If you are good at literature and martial arts, no wonder you can win battles."

As the bookstore owner spoke, he ran to the bookshelf, picked out a thick pile of books, and said, "Take it back to General Mu."

The boy looked at these books with some embarrassment. The general did not ask him to buy so many books. "The general only asked me to take one or two."

"It's okay, take it all. By the way, no money is required. He won the battle, so I owe him a debt of gratitude." The owner of the bookstore said excitedly. At the moment, he was really out of admiration for the hero and had no intention of trying to please anyone.

I'm just happy. It would be great if there were more generals in the court who could win battles, so as not to be defeated by other countries in the future. The people who would suffer the most would be the people.

Moreover, the country of Daqi has been very frustrated for decades. It has been constantly harassed by enemy countries around it and has given way step by step, resulting in its territory getting smaller and smaller.

Although he is a common man, he still knows some state affairs. Now he seems to have seen hope and is really excited.

"Absolutely not. If the general knows that I don't pay, he will punish me."

"It doesn't matter. Just say that I thanked him on behalf of the people of Daqi. In the future, he will come here to buy books for free."

"This..." The young man was still a little hesitant. His general was strict in running the army, and he was also strict in running the family.

"Stop nagging, little brother, I won't ask for this money at all. If you don't take it, I won't tell the little girl when she comes."

The boy was successfully threatened, so he could only hold the book and bow to the bookstore owner to thank him.

Seeing the boy leaving, the owner of the bookstore was still immersed in excitement and joy. He clapped his hands and said, "General Mu Da is actually a customer in my store. Hey, my little store is flourishing."

After returning home, the boy didn't dare to hide anything for fear of being punished, so he first told the whole story about the book.

Mu Yexing frowned, "If he doesn't want the money, why don't you give it to him?"

"No, the boss said that if I gave you money, I wouldn't tell the little girl waiting for you."

"Little girl?" Mu Yexing looked at him with excited eyes, "What's going on? Is she here?"

The boy nodded, but it seemed that the general would not blame him for not paying him, so he boldly continued.

Mu Yexing was very excited, "She is really here again?"

The boy was also confused. What he knew was that his general was waiting for a little girl. He heard that she was a three- or four-year-old baby, but those who didn't know thought she was a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old.

When Tong Yu came to see him, Mu Yexing asked the boy to go down and collect the reward.

The boy's heart really jumped from the bottom of the valley to the clouds. He thought he was going to get a military stick, but in the end he still got two taels of silver.

"Looking at you like this, people who didn't know better would have thought you were going to get a wife!" Tong Yu said with a smile.

Mu Yexing glanced at him and said, "I want to tell you something good." Tong Yu listened attentively.

"The little girl I was waiting for came to the capital again."

"What a coincidence. Wenwen has also come to the capital. She just sent me a message. I plan to bring her to see you in two days to show you how you were defeated by a three-year-old baby."

Tong Yu's proud look was not concealed at all, as if he had defeated Mu Yexing.

Mu Yexing was completely immersed in the excitement of seeing the little girl again. As for the little liar Tong Yu mentioned, he didn't really care.

"Let me tell you, when will your leg be healed?" Tong Yu glanced at Mu Yexing's tightly bandaged leg.

“When it’s time to get better, it will naturally get better.”

"Then when should it be healed?" Tong Yu smiled bitterly and said, "You said that you won the battle with a cane and scratched the skin, but why did you say that this leg is useless?"

Mu Yexing put away his smile and looked serious, "There are too many jealous people in the court. If I didn't pay a price and easily won a battle that others couldn't win, I wouldn't be so comfortable."

Tong Yu raised his eyebrows, it really made sense, "It's really unfair to let you lead troops to fight. If you want to be a civil servant, you have to be a prime minister. You are too scheming."

Fortunately, they are friends, otherwise, ten of them might not be this guy's opponent.

"Leading troops to fight can protect the people, but it is more meaningful than bickering and petty fighting. You have never experienced it, and you don't know the despair of the people when the city is destroyed."

Mu Yexing's eyes deepened, and his face became more sad, "I saw with my own eyes that a father killed three daughters and then committed suicide in order for his daughter not to be humiliated. I was right in front of him. I wanted to stop him, but there was no chance. , because there are too many such people.”

Tong Yu was shocked. He could imagine the cruelty of that scene.

"So I swear that I will never let such a situation happen again in the war I am participating in. I will protect those fathers' daughters and their wives. These are far more useful than scheming in the court."

Tong Yu patted him on the shoulder, "It turns out that you did it."

"It's just that there are countless battles to be fought in the past and in the future. This is also the meaning of supporting the new king and the wise king." Mu Yexing said calmly.

Otherwise, he would not bother to participate in the fight for the throne among the princes.

"Then do you think the person you chose is worth it?" Tong Yu no longer smiled playfully and became more serious.

"I made this choice after careful consideration. Do you think I'm joking? Or do you think it's about friendship?"

Tong Yu nodded, "This road is difficult and long."

"It doesn't matter, as long as you can see the light of dawn, there is no need to be afraid of the darkness in front of you!"

Tong Yu looked at the man in front of him and said, "I'll accompany you."

However, Mu Yexing gave him a big eye roll.

"No, what do you mean by that? Who are you looking down on? Can't I have national justice?"

"I'm alone, can you compete with me?" Mu Yexing looked at him, "If I fail, I'll probably die. What about you?"

Tong Yu took a deep breath: "Why do I have any other choice?"

Do you love me as a father who serves the country's righteousness? Guess why he left when he saw his mother getting married?
