Returning to the Jingcheng camp, Gao Yuan and Li Yinghong also immediately came to Li Mu.

At this time, Li Mu was reading a book in his tent, and when he saw the two of them coming in hand in hand, he also smiled and said, "You guys are back, you have worked hard in the past few days." ”

Gao Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "General, I thought things too simple and returned in vain, I'm really ashamed of the general." Although Gao Yuan and Li Yinghong have been married, Li Mu is still called a general.

Li Yinghong also said: "Yes, father, you know that it is useless, why do you still let us go, we have worked hard for these few days in vain." ”

Li Mu laughed and said, "How can you work hard in vain? ”

Li Yinghong pursed her lips and said, "Haven't you worked hard in vain?" We had been out there for six or seven days in vain, but we had even won a decent victory, and if I had known that, I would not have gone and let him suffer this sin. ”

Li Mu laughed, hugged Li Yinghong in his arms, and said with a smile: "Let me ask you, if under normal circumstances, how many days does it take for the Qin army to go from Qiu You to Jingcheng?" ”

Li Yinghong thought for a while and said, "Two or three days." ”

Li Mu said: "So how many days are there now?" ”

Li Yinghong said: "Six or seven days." ”

Li Mu said: "Isn't this your credit? Obviously, the distance can be completed in two or three days, because your actions, with only the strength of 10,000 people, dragged the Qin army's 300,000 or 400,000 troops for six or seven days, and now you have not reached Jingcheng, think about it, what kind of mood the Qin army will be in, can you still say, have you been busy in the past few days? He looked at the plateau again and said: "The victory of a war does not necessarily require that every battle must be won. To be able to find such a stool in Wang Jian's body, Sijing is very good. ”

Gao Yuan listened, and also realized, he was indeed too entangled in fighting a few victories and killing how many Qin troops, but ignoring his own actions, although he did not cause much loss to the Qin army, but it slowed down the Qin army's marching speed, and from the perspective of the Qin army, he had to be worried all the way, stop and go, and could only walk twenty or thirty miles a day, to put it mildly, that is, he even had to open one eye to sleep at night, which was indeed a big blow to the psychology of the Qin army. Although it is said that the Qin army will not be demoralized because it has dragged on for a few days, compared with the state of momentum when the troops were first dispatched, it will definitely be greatly discounted, which is of course beneficial to the Zhao army.

Of course, compared with winning a few battles and killing thousands of Qin soldiers, this achievement is indeed not big, but who is the main general of the other party, but Wang Jian, a famous general who can be ranked with Li Mu, can make him suffer such a loss, which is indeed a good result. After all, it is a protracted battle with the Qin army, and it can only be done step by step, counting on the master to be killed with a stick, and the Qin army will be killed at one moment, which is simply impossible.

Li Mu said again: "And this time, under the strict guard of the Qin army, you did not forcibly attack the Qin army, so that our troops almost did not lose anything, this is the most gratifying thing for me, as the main general, the most important point is to keep calm at all times, and not let the feelings influence their own decisions, so this time your appearance actually makes me very satisfied, given time, you can become a peerless general who is not inferior to me." ”

At this time, Gao Yuan also sincerely admired Li Mu, and said: "I will never forget the general's teachings for the rest of my life." ”

Li Mu smiled: "Okay, you have worked hard for a few days, go back and rest, there will be a tough battle to fight soon." ”

Gao Yuan said: "Is there another tough battle to be fought?" ”

Li Mu nodded and said, "If my expectations are correct, within three days, the Qin army will challenge us to boost the morale of the Qin army, so we will also have a tough battle with the Qin army, and I still need your subordinates to contribute to this battle." ”

Gao Yuan also nodded and said, "Don't worry, General, we will never let you down." After finishing speaking, he said goodbye and left with Li Yinghong.

After they left, Li Mu was also silent in thought, and at this time, Zhao Xuan came in from outside and whispered a few words in Li Mu's ear.

Li Mu's face changed slightly, nodded, and said, "Okay, we'll go right away." As he spoke, he took off his armor, changed into civilian clothes, hung up a sword, and left the big tent with Zhao Xuan.

At this time, it was dark, and most of the soldiers had already rested, but the weather was very good tonight, the moonlight was like a wash, and the environment was more clearly, and Li Mu did not alarm the others, only took Zhao Xuan alone, left the camp, and walked straight to the northeast.

Turning a mountain beam, I saw an old man in Tsing Yi sitting cross-legged under a big tree and a big bluestone.

Li Mu took two steps forward, bowed to the old man, and said, "Teacher, I haven't seen you for ten years." ”

The old man in the green robe looked at Li Mu, nodded, and said, "Yes, time flies so fast, it's been ten years in a blink of an eye, Li Mu, your temples have gone a little gray." Sit down and talk. ”

Li Mu smiled slightly, and also sat down on a bluestone beside him, and Zhao Xuan stood behind him. Li Mudao: "The disciples are all over half a hundred years old, so gray hair is also common. He looked back at Zhao Xuan and said with a smile: "I still remember that the teacher sent Zhao Xuan to me at that time, he was younger than Gao Yuan at that time, and now he is a complete adult, speaking of which, he has helped me a lot in the past ten years." ”

Zhao Xuan also bowed slightly, and said, "There, in the past ten years, I have benefited a lot from being taught by the general." ”

Li Mu smiled faintly and said: "It's just that this burden, I have been carrying it for ten years, and now I can finally carry it, but you still have to continue to carry it, Gao Yuan is still young now, and he can't bear this responsibility, so you still have to help him on a journey." ”

Zhao Xuan was stunned, his voice couldn't help but choke a little, and said, "General." ”

Li Mu waved his hand, stopped him from speaking, and said: "Needless to say, life and death are fate, the number of days is determined, when I went down the mountain, the teacher had already given me a lesson, I have been waiting for that day for so many years, and now it is about not far away, but now the troubled times have just begun, and the plateau cannot bear this responsibility for the time being, but I can no longer help the teacher and end this troubled world." ”

The old man also sighed softly and said, "Being able to break the destiny of heaven is sometimes indeed a very painful thing, and I really regret it now, if I can go back to the past, I may not be able to learn divination, but now it has become my biggest burden." ”

Li Mu said with a smile: "I have come to this point, the teacher regrets it is probably too late, I don't have much time, the teacher came to me, what is the matter, just say it, while I still have some ability, I will be as busy as possible with you to do something." ”

The old man also smiled bitterly and said, "He has been by your side for more than half a year, what kind of person do you think he is." ”

Li Mu pondered for a while before he said, "He is a very interesting person." ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing: "Is your evaluation of him interesting?" ”

Li Mu also smiled and said: "Of course not, in fact, Gao Yuan is a very good person, with very good qualifications, because he is in the ability to use soldiers, the potential is by no means below me, and although his age is not very old, but his knowledge and vision are very outstanding, many things can be said in one sentence, to the point, and the experience seems to be very rich, sometimes I even feel that his views on many things are much deeper than mine, but he lacks some experience." ”

The old man muttered: "Experience? ”

Li Mudao: "It should be said that it is his experience in our world, according to him, he is from another world, and our world is completely different from a world, so his way of behaving in the world is very different from ours, but there are still some unfamiliar with our world, I think at most another year, after he is familiar with our world, he can do better than me." However, we can listen to Zhao Xuan's opinion, he has been teaching plateau martial arts for the past few months. ”

Zhao Xuan also smiled slightly, and said: "It's hard for me to say anything else, but when it comes to martial arts, he is indeed a person with extraordinary talent, if he can get the guidance of his teacher, he can surpass me in five years at most." But there's one thing I've always been very concerned about. ”

The old man said, "Oh, what are you worried about? ”

Only then did Zhao Xuan tell the old man about the amulet on the plateau.

After hearing this, a flash of surprise flashed in the old man's eyes, but he quickly returned to normal, nodded, and said, "This is an interesting thing, but I believe that a mere talisman will not affect him, and I will talk about it when I see him later." ”

Li Mu was also stunned and said, "Isn't the teacher going to see him now?" ”

The old man shook his head and said, "Now is not the time to see him, when the time is ripe, I will naturally appear." You don't have to talk about him. ”

Li Mu also smiled and said, "Okay, anyway, the teacher can also divination, I should be able to figure out when it is most appropriate to see him, as long as the teacher thinks the time is right, I can arrange it at any time, it doesn't have to be when I'm still there." ”

The old man also nodded and said, "I'll pay attention, okay, you guys go back, if there is something in the future, I will go to the camp to find you, Li Mu, I have worked hard for you all these years." ”

Li Mu smiled slightly and said, "There, I just hope that I can live a few more years and help the teacher do some more things, okay, I am already very happy to be able to see the teacher again today." That's it. As he spoke, he saluted the old man again before leaving with Zhao Xuan.
