0303. Suspected Old Friend Is Coming
There was bright moonlight in front of the bed, and I suspected it was frost on the ground. I looked up at the bright moon and lowered my head to think about my hometown.
A very simple poem.
The romantic poet Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty sang about homesickness through the ages.
On earth, even a three-year-old child can read it in a catchy and familiar way, and no one in China knows it.
From this perspective, this poem has no special meaning.
But for Li Mu, the moment he saw this poem, he was shocked.
Because the paper on which this poem was written was sent by an envoy from the Northern Song Dynasty.
The characters used to write this poem are also Chinese characters.
The poem of the earth, the word of the earth.
But it was sent by an envoy from the Northern Song Dynasty.
This should not be something from this world, nor is it a word from this world, but it was sent by a person from this world.
Li Mu realized in an instant that it was very possible that there was a person who also came from the earth and existed in this world.
And this person from the earth was in the Northern Song Dynasty.
This is of great significance to Li Mu.
A feeling of meeting an old friend in a foreign land surged crazily in his heart.
Li Mu was so immersed in shock and surprise that he only came back to his senses when the little book boy Qingfeng led the Northern Song Dynasty envoy into the study.
"Zhao Ji, the envoy of the Northern Song Dynasty, has met the quasi-sage." The envoy saluted respectfully.
This is a young man who is only in his twenties. He has an upright face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a resolute expression. He is wearing the popular scribe's clothing of the Northern Song Dynasty, with a wide robe and big sleeves, and a Song sword hanging from his waist. He is tall and thin, with a weapon. Yu Xuanang.
Li Mu's eyes fell on the Northern Song envoy, as sharp as a knife.
Zhao Ji immediately felt an indescribable invisible pressure covering his whole body. Under the eyes of Quasi-Saint Li Mu, he felt like an ant that had been pressed under a boulder. If he was not careful, It is possible to be crushed to pieces.
Well-deserved reputation.
"Who asked you to give this to me?" Li Mu held the poem in his hand and said straight to the point.
Zhao Ji did not dare to neglect and said: "This thing, Naihe is the righteous daughter of the Eight Sages. Before leaving, she asked me to hand it over to Lord Quasi Sage. She once said, if you refuse to see me when you arrive in Taibai County, , this can be passed down from generation to generation, and maybe the adults will make an exception to see me."
In his heart, he was actually very surprised.
To be honest, when leaving Song Jing Lin'an, the righteous daughter of the Eight Sages came to him privately and asked him to give this thing to Quasi-Sage Li Mu, saying that it might be able to help him.
At that time, Zhao Ji didn't really believe it.
Although Li Mu's name and poems have spread to the Northern Song Dynasty and are quite famous, Li Mu has never been to the Northern Song Dynasty, and has never even left the Chang'an Mansion of the Western Qin Dynasty. The righteous daughter of the Eight Wise Kings has definitely never met Li Mu. What kind of friendship can there be? A piece of paper with some strange symbols drawn on it can impress a quasi-sage like Li Mu?
However, after arriving in Taibai County, he asked to see the quasi-sage several times, but was rejected directly. He only saw the little book boy Qingfeng, which made Zhao Ji anxious but helpless.
He just gave it a try and presented the gift from the righteous daughter of the Eight Wise Kings. Unexpectedly, the effect was astonishing. He was immediately received by Quasi-Sage Li Mu.
After hearing Zhao Ji's answer, Li Mu was still confused.
The adopted daughter of the Eight Wise Kings of the Northern Song Dynasty?
He had never heard of such a person.
"Can you tell me more about the righteous daughter of the Eight Wise Kings?" Li Mu said: "What is her origin? Does she have a specific name?"
When Zhao Ji heard this, he was extremely surprised that Master Quasi-Sage was so interested in this woman?
However, he still organized his words and said: "The Eight Sage King is a prince with outstanding achievements in the empire and a very high status. He, about half a year ago, during a private visit incognito, by chance, he accepted a The adopted daughter was extremely favored. She was given the surname Zhao, named Zhao Shiyu, and titled Princess Huanzhu. She caused some commotion in Lin'an City, the capital of the Song Dynasty. As for the specific origin, I am not sure."
Li Mu was quite surprised when he heard this.
Shiyu?
The name is familiar.
When he was on Earth, he had a classmate, no, he could be said to be a schoolmate, named Wang Shiyu. He was ice-snowy and smart, and he also took great care of him as an orphan, so much so that it was spread among his classmates, Li Mu and Wang Shiyu are in love.
For Li Mu, falling in love is not really a relationship. To be honest, it is just a vague bud of love. It is not very intense, but it is definitely a little virgin's emotional bud.
Li Mu has a good impression of Wang Shiyu.
However, after coming to this world, Li Mu gradually gave up his budding feelings for the school beauty, because in two worlds, twenty years later, the school beauty would have already married someone else.
but now……
Li Mu's heart suddenly beat.
Because, he was wondering, could this so-called Zhao Shiyu, the righteous daughter of the Eight Wise Kings, be... his former deskmate Wang Shiyu, and she had also come to this world? After all, only people on earth, and they must be Chinese on earth, will know Li Bai's poems.
Moreover, Princess Huanzhu?
Why does it sound a bit like Huanzhugege?
But if you think about it carefully, despite all the signs, it is still unlikely.
Because Wang Shiyu is an ordinary person after all. Without an old magician by her side, it would be impossible to cross the sea of stars and come here.
With a hint of luck in his heart, Li Mu asked again: "Since the surname is Zhao, does the Song envoy know what the real name of the Princess Huanzhu is?"
Zhao Ji glanced at Li Mu with a strange expression and said, "I heard someone mentioned that his surname seems to be Wang..."
"What?" Li Mu stood up with a shocked look on his face and said, "Your surname is Wang? You can't be mistaken, are you? Really... your surname is Wang?"
His reaction made Zhao Ji, the envoy of Song Dynasty, jump.
"It seems that the surname is indeed Wang. Yes, it is Wang. I remembered it. I heard that once, at a gathering of the pearls of Lin'an City, Princess Huanzhu, who had drunk too much, claimed to be Miss Wang and cried bitterly. , which was quite rude and was later secretly laughed at by many people." Zhao Ji added.
Wang Shiyu.
His surname is really Wang.
Could it be that he was really the school belle’s classmate with a charming smile?
Li Mu felt unusually nervous in his heart.
"She... what does Princess Huanzhu look like? How old is she?" Li Mu suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked.
At this time, Zhao Ji, the envoy of Song Dynasty, felt more and more strange in his heart.
Looking at the appearance of Saint Li Mu, it seems that he is an old acquaintance of the righteous daughter of the Eight Wise Kings, but considering the time and location, this is unlikely.
He suppressed the surprise in his heart and said: "Princess Huanzhu is fifteen years old. On the ninth day of October this year, she just celebrated her fifteenth birthday..." As he said that, he showed Princess Huanzhu's appearance and figure. Describe it roughly.
After hearing this, Li Mu felt a storm in his heart.
He is now 80 to 90% sure that the Princess Huanzhu must be his school beauty classmate Wang Shiyu.
Because everything fits.
Especially the age and the general appearance described by Song Dynasty envoy Zhao Ji are highly consistent with the school belle in Li Mu's memory.
She actually came to this planet?
how come?
This thing is simply incredible.
Li Mu really wanted to go to the Northern Song Dynasty immediately, meet her in person, and ask her what was going on, but he took a deep breath and restrained his impulse.
Because now, it is impossible for me to leave Taibai County and the Taibai Mountains.
My quasi-holy war power can only be exerted within the scope of the [Julong Bureau] Feng Shui formation in the Taibai Mountains. Once you leave the scope of the formation, the further the distance, the more your strength will decrease. Beyond the scope of the formation, Thousands of miles away, there is no way to borrow even the slightest power of the formation.
Li Mu touched his head.
If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have been so high-profile and provoked so many people.
Now the reputation of the Quasi-Saint has been established. He also killed the second prince and defeated the [Red Fire Demon God]. He has made many enemies. I don’t know how many people are preparing to deal with him. If he leaves the Taibai Mountains, if anyone doesn’t believe it, If Xie takes action brazenly, then he will be completely exposed.
Seeing Li Mu lost in thought, Song Dynasty envoy Zhao Ji felt something even weirder and more complicated.
"Lord Quasi-Sage, this envoy is here on behalf of His Highness the King of the Northern Song Dynasty. I want to..." Zhao Ji tried to speak and said some of the purpose of his visit. After all, this is the real meaning of his mission. ah.
Li Mu listened absently, nodded, and then asked: "How is Princess Huanzhu doing in the palace of the Eight Sages? What is her status? Is she practicing?"
Zhao Ji: "..."
Qing Qing himself had been talking about the purpose of coming to the envoy for a long time, but Master Quasi-Sage didn't even listen.
However, this also shows from the side that Quasi-Saint Li Mu really attaches great importance to Princess Huanzhu.
Zhao Ji's heart moved.
In this case, why not just go with the flow?
What I am afraid of is that Zhunsheng is not interested in the Northern Song Dynasty, but I am not afraid that he will be interested. Since Master Zhunsheng attaches so much importance to Princess Huanzhu, why not take this as an opportunity to negotiate?
When he thought of this, Zhao Ji was not in a hurry, and slowly introduced the Princess Huanzhu, telling everything he knew.
The Eight Wise Kings were the first princes of the Northern Song Dynasty. They held a high position. When they were young, they commanded the imperial army and fought at the border. They met the princess who was born as a border general. The couple had a deep love for each other. They were very affectionate. It was also a good story in the Northern Song Dynasty. Unfortunately, later on, the princess died in a battle with the Southern Chu Empire. The Eighth Sage King was so disheartened that he had no heirs, and he never married again.
This prince was very famous and had a high reputation in the Northern Song Dynasty. However, in recent years, he gradually retreated behind the scenes and no longer paid attention to the affairs of the government.
More than half a year ago, the Eighth Sage King paid a private visit incognito to relax. When he went out, he met Wang Shiyu who was living in the wilderness. I don’t know which heartstring was touched by the old man. He adopted him as his adopted daughter. He doted on her very much. He asked the emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty to give him a national surname. As Zhao, he was included in the imperial genealogy of the Northern Song Dynasty and was titled Princess Huanzhu. He had a very high status in Lin'an City.
Li Mu felt a little relieved after hearing this.
If it is really Wang Shiyu, no matter how she came to this world, she must have been very helpless, scared, and lonely at the beginning. But luckily, she was lucky enough to meet a destined old man and find a big supporter.
