Liu Xun, supported by his guards, walked away covered in dust and dirt, not daring to stay for even a moment.

"When I met this person, I was just having a headache about how to deal with the problem. I didn't expect to meet the general. Thank you very much for your help." Su Xuan clasped his fists and bowed, looking grateful.

"Sir, you are too polite." Sima Shang returned the greeting, still showing indignation, "Even if it wasn't you I met today, Sima Shang would still help me."

"By the way, why did the general suddenly want to come to Linglong Pavilion?" Su Xuan was a little surprised.

"Sir, you probably don't know that the poems you wrote are praised by everyone in Handan. Naturally, I wanted to go to Linglong Pavilion to see how elegant the Snow Girl is." He laughed and looked at the Snow Girl.

"The Snow Girl greets General Sima Shang." The Snow Girl bowed, but her eyes were on Su Xuan.

"It truly lives up to its name, and is truly extraordinary." He said with emotion.

Without lingering for too long, his gaze turned to Su Xuan.

"To be honest, the general has been thinking about you ever since he met you.

We will be heading to the front tomorrow, and the general specially asked me to come here tonight to invite you to a gathering."

"The general has prepared the apricot blossom white that he has treasured for many years. He has been waiting for you for a long time. Sir, please do not refuse."

Hongmen Banquet?

Su Xuan was alert and his mind was racing.

Before leaving, he came to invite me so late. Was he worried about me and afraid that I would become a rival of Zhao State?

If you can't be used by others, are you going to get rid of yourself?

He never hesitated to speculate about others with the greatest malice. As a great general, which one of him was not ruthless and cruel, with countless corpses on his hands?

Li Mu seems easy to talk to, but is he really like that?

The fundamental reason is that they have no conflicts of interest because they are not enemies.

Now that we have truly become enemies, will he be merciful?

In an instant he thought a lot, imagining various situations and ways to deal with them.

Do you really think that nothing was accomplished in these three days?

He toured the entire city of Handan. Except for the imperial palace, the entire layout of Handan and the deployment of city defense soldiers were all clearly imprinted in his mind.

Whether it is running away or attacking Handan in the future, it can play a significant role.

He did not refuse Sima Shang. As long as he was prepared for the situation, he would not be afraid even if it was a dangerous place.

"My dear Su Xuan, please forgive me for bothering you so late at night."

Not long after, Su Xuan met Li Mu.

He acted in an approachable manner, as if he were a younger member of the clan, and invited Su Xuan to sit down.

"How many people would love to have a drink and a chat with General Li Mu? Why would you say it's strange?" Su Xuan sat down leisurely, looked directly at Li Mu, and chuckled, "To be honest, I came here with the purpose of stealing General Li Mu's skills. If I can learn a few tricks from General Li Mu, I will have the capital to brag to my teacher when I return to Xiaoshengxian Manor."

"If you really have this idea, why don't you join the State of Zhao? I will teach you everything I know and will never keep anything for myself!" Li Mu did not react at all to Su Xuan's joke. He went straight to the point and looked at Su Xuan with sharp eyes, as if he would not give up until he achieved his goal.

This is going to be difficult.

"Thank you for your kindness, General. My ambition is not to achieve fame and fortune. I just want to indulge in the mountains and rivers and enjoy the freedom."

After he finished speaking, he felt a little uneasy and added another sentence.

"If I change my mind in the future, I will definitely consider Zhao first."

"I will wait for that day to come, but I hope it won't be too late." Li Mu nodded solemnly, seeming a little regretful.

"I've been talking to you for so long that I forgot about today's business." He took out the wine that he had prepared a long time ago, opened the wine cup, and immediately a rich aroma of wine came towards him.

"Today, you and I will drink together, and we won't stop until we are drunk!"

As he spoke, he poured a large bowl of wine for the two of them. Before one jar of wine was finished, he brought up another one.

The corner of Su Xuan's eye twitched. Others drank with wine glasses, but you, on the other hand, directly used a bowl to show off. Is it really that outrageous?

This doesn't mean I'll leave awake.

Su Xuan even doubted whether this old man would take advantage of his drunkenness and tie him up and take him to the military camp.

Fortunately, Su Xuan had already made a plan, so he was not panicked at all.

"General Li Mu is truly magnanimous!" Su Xuan grabbed the large bowl in front of him and said, "Let's drink together today!"

"Let me offer a bowl to General Li Mu first." He drank it all in one gulp.

"What a good alcohol tolerance!" Li Mu looked at him in admiration. Not wanting to fall behind others, he finished all the wine in the next second.

The two of them clinked glasses and in just a few moments, they had already finished several large bowls of wine.

At this time, Su Xuan's face was flushed, and he was shaking his head, looking drunk.

He slapped his head fiercely and said in a somewhat halting manner, "General Li, General Li Mu, I forgot to tell you something."

"There are no outsiders here, so you can speak frankly." Li Mu's eyes lit up. As the saying goes, truth comes out after drinking. He could take this opportunity to test Su Xuan.

"General Li Mu, after I get drunk and fall asleep, don't let anyone get close to me." Su Xuan reminded.

"What does this mean?" Li Mu was puzzled.

"General Li Mu, you don't know that I like to kill people in my dreams. As long as I fall asleep and someone gets close to me, my body will involuntarily draw out the sword and chop the person to death." Su Xuan frowned, "I have been troubled by this for a long time and have been looking for famous doctors, but unfortunately I have never found a solution."

"Is there such a strange disease?" Li Mu was surprised and confused.

"Who said it wasn't true? I never thought that there would be such a strange symptom in this world, and it happened to me." Su Xuan sighed and complained, "Luckily, my teacher noticed it in advance and prepared a countermeasure. Otherwise, if I had hurt my brothers and sisters in Xiaoshengxianzhuang, I would never forgive myself for the rest of my life."

He became more and more excited as he spoke, drinking and talking at the same time, and in the blink of an eye, he had already drunk several bowls of wine.

"General Li Mu, you don't know how miserable I am. Even if I marry someone in the future, I won't be able to sleep in the same bed with you..."

"All the brothers and sisters in Xiaoshengxianzhuang can sleep in Sanxing Book House, but I can only sleep in an independent courtyard."

"General Li Mu, do you know how this feels?" He beat his chest and stamped his feet, looking worried, "How I wish I could be like a normal person, sleeping with my fellow brothers, wandering around the world, without having to worry about someone getting close to me and hurting innocent people while I'm asleep..."

Li Mu was a little skeptical, but when he saw Su Xuan's realistic expression, he couldn't help but believe it a little.

In addition, since he had poured out his grievances to him and told him all his tragic experiences, he was basically certain that what Su Xuan said was true.

Is there such a strange disease in this world?

Li Mu sighed inwardly, feeling that he had gained some knowledge.

"General Li Mu, do you know? Among all the generals, I admire you the most." Su Xuan held Li Mu's hands, shaking his head in a drunken state, and spoke the truth after drinking. "In the past, the general defeated the Xiongnu at Yanmen Pass, making the Hu people never dare to set foot in Yanmen Pass again. After hearing about the general's deeds, I was stunned for a long time and admired him very much."

"I heard that the general will be heading to the front tomorrow. I don't know when we will meet again.

Since the general invited me to drink today, I will give him a poem in return.

Please don't blame me if it's not well written.

"The moon is bright at Yanmen Pass, but the people who have marched thousands of miles have not yet returned. As long as the flying general is in Longcheng, the Hu horses will not be allowed to cross Yinshan Mountain."
