Chapter 144 Talented
After some "responsible" communication, Li Mu finally got a certain understanding of Dugu Jiu.
Dugu Jiu, the only son of Dugu Xiude, the Dugu family leader. His name is Dugu Jiu because he has eight sisters. It can be seen how much effort his father Dugu Xiude has put into giving birth to a son to inherit the family business. Not only does he work hard, but he also spends a lot of energy. The concubine married seventh house!
Because there were no brothers, Dugu Jiu had been having fun with his sisters since he was born. The Dugu family was a royal family, but although it is not as good as before, the rules are still greater than other aristocratic families. Apart from the head of the house, men were not allowed to enter the house. Before Dugu Jiu was six years old, he had never seen any other men except his father Dugu Xiude. As the leader of the clan, Dugu Xiude was plagued by everything and could not be with his son often. Dugu Jiu's childhood was full of yin and yang.
The direct consequence is that he shows his daughter's appearance from the inside out. When Dugu Xiude realizes that his son has a problem, it is not so easy to correct it. He finds boys of the same age to play with Dugu Jiu, but Dugu Jiu can't play with these children at all. Moreover, these boys do not regard him as a boy and always laugh at his voice. Even if their parents blame their children for Dugu Xiude's sake, it is useless. As children, they do not understand the rank of the superiors and inferiors, and scolding them has aroused their rebellious mentality and discriminated against Dugu Jiu even more severely.
Dugu Jiu also fell into the root of autism. When facing women, he dared to speak. But when facing men, he would not speak, and he would not speak, for fear of being ridiculed.
Seeing his son growing up day by day, Dugu Xiude was anxious. He couldn't think of a solution, so he had to let Dugu Jiu practice martial arts, hoping to cultivate his son's masculinity. What he never expected was that Dugu Jiu was the same after practicing martial arts, and his masculinity was not cultivated at all. Fortunately, after practicing martial arts, his behavior faded away his gentle and charming daughter's attitude. Moreover, beyond Dugu Xiude's expectations, Dugu Jiu was actually a martial arts genius.
No matter any move, as long as you teach it, Dugu Jiu can perform it exactly the same. Dugu Jiu practiced the family martial arts for three months and then integrated them. Fortunately, the Dugu family was once a royal family and collected a lot of martial arts maps. Dugu Xiude found it for Dugu Jiu to examine it. Dugu Jiu's martial arts are getting better and better every day. He is only sixteen years old this year. In one-on-one situation, no one in the Dugu family is his opponent.
But these are all secrets, because Dugu Jiu rarely appears, and even many nobles in Chang'an do not know that Dugu Jiu is in Chang'an. They all know that Dugu Xiude has a son, but they all think that his son is in his hometown in Longyou and not in Chang'an.
Dugu Jiu committed the crime today because he ran away from home.
Because Dugu Xiude wanted him to go on a blind date.
A blind date at the age of sixteen was not a strange thing in the Tang Dynasty, and it was very normal. Moreover, blind dates were not a marriage, but two families with equal status decided to make a marriage. When Li Mu heard this, he guessed that it was probably because Dugu Xiude felt that the "Dugu Jiu" was abolished and he could not give birth to it, so he wanted to ask him to help give birth to a grandson and re-train a "number".
But Dugu Jiu was very repulsive of such an arrangement and even a little afraid.
He is already sixteen years old, not six years old. At the age of six, he didn't understand anything he didn't understand. At the age of sixteen, he had already understood everything he heard and heard. He knew that he was different from normal people, and he also knew the reason for his discrimination. He could even feel that his father Dugu Xiude hoped that he would get married soon.
All of this made him feel hurt. At the same time, he also felt that if a woman married him, the woman would not be happy, and would even be discriminated against because of his relationship.
Although Dugu Jiu was not good at speaking, his heart was soft and kind. He regarded his special features as a kind of misfortune. He would rather this misfortune arise from others and stop from others than overdo it to others. But he also knew that his father's wishes could not be changed, so he made the decision to run away from home.
But before he could leave Chang'an, he encountered something unfair.
When he was passing by a shop, he witnessed the shopkeeper beating his wife. Dugu Jiu didn't want to take care of it, but the shopkeeper was too uninvited and he beat his wife to a bruised face and blood stagnant corners of his mouth. Many people around him persuaded him, but he couldn't listen to a word from the shopkeeper. The more others persuaded him, the more he beat him harder.
Dugu Jiu really couldn't stand it anymore. He lived among women since he was a child, and his impression of women was much better than that of men. When this man waved his fist again, Dugu Jiu took action.
He is very skilled in martial arts and is extraordinary in his actions. He knocked the shopkeeper to the ground in just a few seconds.
But what happened next made him at a loss.
The beating woman not only did not thank him, but instead hugged him one of his legs and begged the onlookers to report to the officials that he was a murderer and that the man who injured her!
Dugu Jiu has never left his house several times since he was a child. When he encountered such a thing, he was completely confused. He couldn't figure out why he helped him, but instead was slandered as a bad person.
After being stunned, someone sent me to ask him, but he didn't want to say anything. Because there were too many people watching, if he spoke, he would definitely be ridiculed.
The messengers sent him to Chang'an County Government. County Magistrate Wang Zhongyuan asked him what he said, but he still didn't say anything. In the end, he sent someone to search his body and found the descendants of the descendants representing the Dugu family's children and the waist card of the Zhenwei Captain.
The victim asked him to pay money, but he didn't say anything. The messenger searched for his baggage, but this was the first time he ran away from home and had no experience. Moreover, because he didn't go out much, had never spent money, and did not know the use of money, he didn't bring any money at all, so naturally he couldn't find anything.
Wang Zhongyuan didn't say anything when he saw that he was a son of the Lonely Son, or a captain Zhenwei. He felt that it was a hot potato, so he sent him to Dali Temple. As for the victim, he naturally sent someone to notify Dugu Xiude. As for whether to compensate or not, it had nothing to do with him.
After Dugu Jiu answered Li Mu's question, his little face turned red. All the words he said to men in his life might not have said much to Li Mu for a while, and he was really dry-mouthed.
Seeing this, Li Mu took the top scholar Hong in the food box and handed it to Dugu Jiu, saying, "This is called top scholar Hong, it is the best wine in Chang'an. I'll treat you to drink."
"Thank you." Dugu Jiu said thanking in a low voice and took the wine jar with both hands. He had just faced Li Chongyi, and his shoulders drooped, but they were not broken, but they were dislocated. As soon as he spoke, he pinched it twice and had returned to his position.
Li Mu tear off another chicken wing and handed it to him. Dugu Jiu looked at it, hesitated for a while, but still took it. He left home at noon and fought in the afternoon, and has not eaten yet. Originally, there were some pastries in the bag, but now he doesn't know where the bag is, so he is really hungry.
Li Mu laughed.
This is an idiot...ah, white paper, a piece of white paper!
And it is also a white paper with extremely high martial arts talent.
He even came from the Guanlong nobles and the only son of the Dugu family.
Whether it is ability, identity, or this person, it is perfect!
Li Mu didn't have any special queer habits and wanted to do something to Dugu Jiu. He just wanted to appreciate it, and he really needed it. He always had five guards when he went out, which was too short of an eye. But if he could keep Dugu Jiu by his side, he wouldn't have to bring so many. With him and Li Chongyi, twenty or thirty people would be in close proximity!
Moreover, Dugu Jiu's identity is also convenient for him to act...
Thinking of this, a kind smile appeared on Li Mu's face.
"Brother, after you finish speaking, I'll introduce myself to you... You eat, don't look at me, just listen." As soon as Li Mu spoke, Dugu Jiu stopped, looking at Li Mu with big eyes flashing, showing good education. But looking at this face, Li Mu was a little embarrassed and hurriedly asked him to continue eating so that he could continue to talk.
"My name is Li Mu. You may not have heard of me, but it doesn't matter. You just need to remember that I'm very powerful. Don't look at me being locked in a prison now, that's because I don't want to go out. I can go out at any time if I want to go out. You also see the prison head being shouted by me just now, right? Look!"
As he said that, Li Mu shouted at the top of his throat: "Maintain! Give me a clean bed for me, my little brother!"
"Okay! The Marquis wait and come soon!"
"Look, it's so obedient. This is called plagiarism!" Li Mu continued to brainwash Dugu Jiu, and regardless of whether he could understand it, he said to himself: "Did you hear him call me Marquis? I, the Marquis of Zhulu, the Majesty, granted by Your Majesty. At the same time, I still manage the treasury orders of the treasury. Do you know? Your Majesty's treasury, I am the one who manages Your Majesty's treasury. Awesome? In short, follow me, eat delicious food and drink spicy food, just like you are now, drinking wine and eating meat. No one can think of laughing at you, and no one dares to laugh at you..."
Hearing this, Dugu Jiu raised his head and said resentfully: "You laughed at me just now."
"No!" Li Mu quickly denied it and defended him repeatedly: "What words did I laugh at you? I didn't laugh at you! No! Yes!"
"I can see it in your eyes. You just stared at my neck to see if I have an Adam's apple. You suspect that I am a woman, don't refuse to admit it!"
“…”
Silence awkwardly.
"We won't talk about this anymore. Anyway, let's just say that. As long as you call me Big Brother, I can help you solve any troubles you encounter. Whether it's the person you hit or your father forcing you to go on a blind date, everything will be covered by your Big Brother and me!"
Dugu Jiu swallowed the chicken in his mouth, looked at Li Mu, blinked his eyes, and asked as if confirmation: "Really?"
Li Mu focused his attention: "Yes!"
