Chapter 45 What is a brave man?

In the late night under the moonlight, there is some coldness in the tranquility, just like the faint fragrance of osmanthus flowers in the night breeze, less rich, but more ethereal.

"Ding, Ding..."

The slight and crisp sound of metal collision, accompanied by the "clicking" sound of horse hooves, contains an inexplicable rhythm. Just like raindrops falling into the pond, layers of ripples rippled in the night and finally came into the ears of the boy standing against the tree.

"The rosy fragrance of the moon palace is still the same, and the giant axe is weak and uneasy." Li Mu did not open his eyes, as if he was still savoring the inexplicable rhythm just now.

There was even leisurely feeling, and he connected the sound of the impact to the misty moon palace. The man who had been cutting the osmanthus day and night, felt that the sharp axe in his hand was not worth it.

The sound of horse hooves stopped not far away, and several cold gazes fell on Li Mu.

"The brave ones who meet on a narrow road win." Li Mu took a deep breath, slowly opened his eyes, and whispered to himself, "When a man sees humiliation, he draws his sword and stands up and fights. This is not a courageous thing..."

Three fully armed figures came into Li Mu's eyes, like the impermanence of death coming from the moon.

Xiongjun's war horse stood quietly under the moonlight, occasionally shaking its head slightly, without any uneasiness, as if it felt that the young man in front of him was not threatened at all.

The dark iron armor still flashed with a faint cold light under the moonlight, hard and cold; the three-foot horizontal knife at the waist was like a sleeping red chain snake, lying quietly in the scabbard, with the hilt facing the sky, but it showed a trace of murderous intent, winding around under the tree, and holding only a broken knife in his hand.

Li Mu's body trembled slightly, desperately suppressing the fear in his heart, and said loudly: "There are great brave people in the world who suddenly come to him without being shocked, and they are not angry for no reason. This is the one he held is very great, and his ambition is very far-reaching. Only in this way can he be called a hero."

This powerful remark is naturally not something Li Mu can say.

But this is a famous quote left by ancient sages. The firm will and majestic momentum contained in it still spread with the young man's tender voice.

For some reason, after Li Mu read this passage, the fear and depression in his heart began to slowly dissipate, and replaced by a kind of excitement and emotion that filled his chest and abdomen.

Perhaps when the sages said this, they did not fall into a desperate situation like Li Mu, but the meaning contained in the words was extremely in line with Li Mu's current mood.

Does Li Mu have ambitions in his heart? Is he very ambitious?

Perhaps, Li Mu was not aware of these things in the past, but after experiencing yesterday's incident, Li Mu believed that he had greater ambitions and ambitions than most people.

He longs to go out of Lianshan Town to see the mountains and rivers of Dachu, to experience the feelings of scholars from all over the world, and to be the hero who helps the poor and promotes the strong and the weak.

He hopes that one day he will return home in glory so that his parents and family can be honored. He hopes that one day when he dies, his descendants will think of themselves, remembering the things they have done, and hope that when he is dying, he will not regret his past hesitation...

He hopes that in his lifetime, he can see the snow-capped snow-capped mountains in the north, the sea with water and sky in the east, and the vast mountains in the south...

He even hoped that if he was lucky enough, he could go west and see the vast land shrouded in gray mist.

So he doesn't want to die, nor can he die.

But all this was not controlled by him, because he was now a weak man, and he had nothing except the firm belief and courage to fight the enemy.

Even the horizontal knife in his hand was broken because there were too many holes.

But Li Mu was not discouraged, did not blame others, and did not want to give up. Instead, the break of the horizontal knife made him feel a lot of emotion.

He saw that the horizontal knife still did not bend the moment it broke.

He saw that although the horizontal knife was sharp, it broke in a very short time because it was used in the wrong place.

He saw the trap that he thought he could not complete, but with his own hard work, he even exceeded it.

He even saw an old man in an unknown book borrowed by Mrs. Han’s house, who was still unwilling to surrender when he was abandoned by the court...

Perhaps, this is also the reason why Li Mu stayed and was unwilling to escape again.

He suddenly understood that a person's greatest shame or glory is not that he could not defeat others and was killed, but that at the moment of his death, was he beheaded when his head was cut off or was killed on the ground with his back to his enemy.

Those who die on the way to charge are heroic, those who are heavier than Yangshan, those who die on the way to escape are cowardly, and those who are as light as a feather.

Perhaps Li Mu's blood still contains the ferocity and violence of mountain hunters. The ancestors were able to settle down deep in the Lianyun Mountains and beside the forest where wild beasts were rampant. If they did not have any courage and blood, it would be impossible in itself.

It is only because of the passage of time that life gradually becomes stable that this courage and bloodline lurks in the bloodline. However, the cruel experience for two consecutive days has awakened this courage and toughness hidden deep in the bloodline.

Perhaps, this courage and toughness were originally just a kind of primitive roughness and barbarism, but this primitive roughness and barbarism was eventually transformed into a firm belief and a noble belief under the inspiration of the sages of the sages of the ancestors.

This is just as the wise said: A gentleman is brave but has no righteousness and will be in chaos; a villain is brave but has no righteousness and will be in robbery.

Li Mu is determined to become a hero who helps the strong and the weak, and helps the poor. This is a kind of righteousness in his heart and the source of courage in his heart. If he does not have such lofty ideals in his heart, perhaps even if Li Mu is inspired by the courage and heroic spirit in his blood, he can only become an ordinary man.

Xiongjun's war horse began to stir up, kicking his hooves uneasily.

The black-armored sergeant on the horse seemed to be influenced by the momentum in Li Mu's words. They looked at each other for a few times and saw the astonishment and worry in each other's eyes. The aura revealed from the boy was originally thought to be extremely simple, perhaps not as easy as they imagined.

After a moment of silence, one of the people said coldly: "Niu Er, go up and kill him, take his head and jade bi, and go back and hand it to Master Feng..."

The person who spoke was the cold soldier who stood beside Feng Yi that afternoon and shot the "Brother Tian" with a crossbow.

After saying this, he suddenly frowned, feeling a little surprised, not understanding why he said so much nonsense, as if he was worried that the soldier would not be able to kill the young beggar under the tree ahead.

"Yes, the wind team leads." Niu Er hesitated for a moment and responded in a deep voice.

After saying that, Niu Er gently kicked the horse's belly with the spur, and the horse began to trot and rushed towards the boy dozens of meters away.

As the war horses were bumping, Niu Er pulled out the horizontal knife at his waist and pointed it at the ground. When he was about to rush in front of him, he cut off the boy's head with one knife, then admired the blood that ejected, and the corpse that pounced on the ground...

This is his most skilled sword technique and his favorite way of killing.

Although he had never been on the battlefield and had never killed anyone. However, he was eager to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions. Even the "enemy" in front of him was just a commoner in the Great Chu, just a young man who would be chased to death if he offended the powerful and would be chased to death.

Even this young man belongs to the same surname and clan as him.

Li Mu did not move any movement, nor did he show any expression on his face. He stood quietly under the tree, watching the war horse getting closer and closer, and slowly clenched the half-straight knife in his hand.

"This is really a funny idea." Feng Team Lead looked at the boy who was getting paler under the moonlight and said to himself mockingly, "I thought he had any skills. It turned out to be a poor person who pretended to behave."

Maybe because he felt that his companions around him did not agree with him, Feng Gunsu suddenly felt a little bored and glanced at the other party and said, "Liu Yu, what are you thinking? Are you scared?"

The black-armored sergeant, known as Liu Yu, was extremely majestic and burly. It was the tiger-wing guard who was forced to kill by Feng Yi in the afternoon.

When Liu Yu heard the Feng Team leader’s question, he frowned slightly and said with a wry smile: "Feng Team leader, this young man Niu Wen Niu, no matter how you say, is the senior nephew of Commander Guo, we will kill him like this. If Commander Guo knows about it, even Feng Junhou will not be able to explain it, right?"

"Hmph, just a beggar, you can kill it if you kill it. Can the Guo family still make things difficult for our Young Master Feng because of this?" Feng Captain Ser sneered and said disdainfully.

Feng Guru said in his tone that he had three words "our family" at home, as if he was worried that Liu Yu would not know that he was a slave of the Feng family.

Of course, sometimes, the identity of a domestic slave is also an authority.

Then he seemed to feel that there was something wrong with what he said, and he smiled and said, "What's more, now he is in the quiet wilderness of night sound. After killing it, he throws it into the mountains. In a few days, the beasts in the mountains will leave his corpse without his bones. Even if Commander Guo wants to investigate, he may not be able to investigate."

"What Feng Team Leader is saying." Liu Yu thought for a moment, a smile appeared on his face, as if he was very much in agreement with Feng Team Leader's words.

Feng Gunsuo also nodded, looking at Niu Er who was getting closer and closer to Li Mu, a ferocious smile appeared on his face, and continued, "This kid actually dares to offend Master Feng and wants to give Master Feng eye drops. I really don't know how the word "death" is written. This time we just need to solve him for Master Feng and then present the jade bi to Master Feng. Then the Marquis will be happy at that time, and are still afraid that there will be no chance to get promoted or make a fortune?"

A sharp look flashed in Liu Yu's eyes, but a silly smile appeared on his face and said, "What Feng Gunshu said is that as long as the Marquis is willing to nod, it is easy to lead you to be promoted to Marquis."

Seeing Feng Qunsuke's face showing a complacent smile, Liu Yu suddenly narrowed his eyes, reached out to the hilt of the knife around his waist, and continued to smile and said with a silly smile: "When the time, Junhou, you have eaten meat, don't forget to give your brother a sip of soup."

"Hahaha, you guy, look like a big guy, and you didn't expect that you would have such a colorful intestine." Feng Team turned around and patted Liu Yu on the shoulder, and said with a big smile, "Don't worry, Young Master Feng treats his own people yet. You don't know what Mr. Feng does? As long as I'm the benefit of my old Feng, my brothers are indispensable."

Feng Gunsui looked smiling, as if he had already determined that Niu Er could kill Li Mu, and he was also appreciated by Feng Yi and had become the Marquis of Military Affairs.

Just as Feng Team Route turned around and looked at Li Mu again, he suddenly felt a little uneasy.

He didn't know where this anxiety came from, but he saw a little ridicule on Li Mu's face and also saw a look of fear on Li Mu's face.

"No, this kid has dug a trap."

Feng Team Leader looked at Li Mu carefully and saw that the ground beside the big tree was filled with messy fallen leaves and dead grass, and his face changed drastically.

Immediately raised my head and shouted at Niu Er, "Niu Er, stop, stop quickly, there is a trap in front, stop me, fuck you, stop me..."

Before he finished speaking, there was only a loud bang. With a crisp sound of fracture, Niu Er flew up from the horse's back for no reason, crossed more than ten meters away, and finally hit the big tree beside Li Mu with a "bang".

The withered and yellow fallen leaves fell down again.

"Xi Liuliu..."

The wailing sound of the war horse sounded, and Niu Er's mount was lying on the ground at this time, kicking his hind legs and trying to stand up, but his broken right front leg was hanging aside, making all the efforts of the war horse turn into bubbles.

Under the stirring of the body of the war horse, the nearby leaves and grass were pushed apart little by little, revealing dozens of simple pits scattered around the big trees.

"This kid is so cruel. Where did he learn this from..." Feng Gusui couldn't help but take a breath, looked at the messy pits, and shivered and said.

I couldn't help but feel extremely glad. Fortunately, I didn't have that kind of foolish behavior, who wanted to cut off Li Mu's head with his own hands, or I would have fallen under the tree now.

Just as he thought of this, he heard a "puff" sound, and then Niu Er's weak scream came, which cut through the moonlight like a gong, and came into the ears of the wind team.
