Chapter 48 Lin Mo’s decision
Lu Bu showed full sincerity, which Lin Mo could really feel.
He didn't say it, but the dusty look on his face couldn't hide it from Lin Mo's eyes. He must have rushed back from Jiujiang.
Looking at the greeting card in my hand, I feel a burning feeling.
Lin Mo's mind was in a state of confusion. He had not fully realized the bloody plot that his father-in-law, whom he had accepted for several months, suddenly transformed into the invincible Marquis Wen, Lu Bu, and he had to decide whether to stay or go.
This is obviously difficult for Lin Mo.
Going to Xuchang means that you will most likely live a life of peace of mind from now on. With your prophetic skills and inventions that transcend the times, it is not difficult at all to become a popular presence in Cao Ying.
If you stay, you will face a lot of mess. Even though Lu Bu's territory has been expanded to a certain extent, it is unwise to look at those mixed soldiers, powerful families, and a frighteningly powerful opponent.<
/p>
This is like asking you to give up a broad road leading to a bright future and choose a mountainous road that is difficult to navigate and may end in annihilation.
However, the words just now and the greeting card in his hand all tell that this evil man in troubled times really regards himself as a relative.
Going to Cao Ying, given his own status, Cao Cao’s love will be limited.
If you don't do it right, you may become the person who keeps Cao Cao awake.
Lin Mo rubbed his eyebrows, melancholy.
Choice is very difficult, because choosing one path means giving up another path.
When in dilemma, Xu Sheng came over and said, "He is really gone."
Lin Mo nodded and said nothing.
Xu Sheng added, "There are several official roads, post roads, and seven mountain roads to Xuchang. Once we set off, it is impossible to pursue them."
"I know he's not testing me." Lin Mo understood what Xu Sheng was implying.
If he wanted to use these methods, he wouldn't even be able to reach Xiaoguan.
However, Lin Mo has not yet been able to make a choice firmly enough not to regret it.
Time flowed slowly, Xu Sheng did not rush him, he just stood quietly behind Lin Mo.
He may also understand that his young master is making a very important decision.
"Wen Xiang."
As the sun went down, Lin Mo finally spoke, "Are you willing to give up going to Wu County for me?"
I originally thought it was a difficult choice, but Xu Sheng replied without thinking, "If the young master decides to surrender to Cao Cao, I will escort the young master to Xuchang and then to Wu County.
If the young master stays in Xuzhou, then I will stay with the young master."
Lin Mo turned to look at Xu Sheng in surprise.
What does this mean?
"Both my parents died under the sword of Cao Jun during the massacre of the city in Xuzhou, but I will not assassinate him in Xuchang. I don't want to implicate the young master." A rare sadness appeared on Xu Sheng's silent face.
Lin Mo only knew that he went to Pengcheng to work as a nursing home because of the massacre in the three counties. He did not know about these things.
No wonder I asked him several times if he wanted to stay, but he was always vague.
It turns out that he didn't want to go to Cao Ying.
"Son, I am a stupid person, but I know that there are some things in this world that should not be weighed."
Xu Sheng has always talked little and is the type who answers questions and answers. Today it is rare for him to take the initiative to speak, "There are too few things that are rare. When you encounter them, you should take advantage of them. Just like the young master treats me well, I understand in my heart.
So I never weighed whether it was better to go to Wu County or stay with the Young Master."
These words made Lin Mo's turbid brain feel like hearing bells in the morning and drums in the evening, and it suddenly became much clearer.
He chewed on the profound meaning and re-examined his value positioning and life choices in this world.
Some things should not be weighed.
For example, the friendship in my heart...
Lu Bu has affection for me.
"Furthermore, the young master has talked about your father-in-law's help to you many times. I also thought about a question just now."
Xu Sheng asked with some doubts: "Young Master has certainly assisted Wen Hou. Judging from this time, Wen Hou has also cultivated you, Young Master."
Those so-called artifacts and so-called strategies to calm chaos, if it weren't for meeting Lu Bu, there would be a certain probability that they would be appreciated.
But in this era, under the oppression of being a lowly peasant, the greater probability is that the common man will be innocent and guilty of having a jade.
Even Xu Sheng understands this truth.
When we were in Xuzhou, if it weren't for his love and affection, how could the Lu family and the Chen family think highly of me?
Even now, as Jiuyuan Zhenhu, who is proud of the world, he has put aside all military duties on the front line and came here, but it is not to stop himself, but to give himself a chance to choose.
If the love and kindness he gave me can be ignored, then what else can I pursue?
If one day we meet on the battlefield and he asks me why I am still unwilling to stay and help despite working so hard, do you want me to say that it is not worth it?
Lin Mo asked himself whether he could say such a thing, because in such a field, Lu Bu's eyes would be sharper than Fang Tian's painted halberd.
Not to mention Lu Bu, if he really arrived in Cao's camp, I'm afraid Cao Cao would look down on him like this.
Literary men have character, and military men also have feelings.
There are some things in this world that really shouldn’t be weighed.
Lin Mo slowly closed his eyes and felt quietly, feeling the dilemma that was originally tangled in his heart, causing great waves, and finally being drawn out by an invisible knife.
This invisible knife is called friendship.
Everyone should have it. Only with it did Guan Yu become famous throughout the ages. Yu Jin lost the sword and ended up dying of shame.
At this moment, Lin Mo felt a sudden enlightenment, "I think, I should hold on to this knife tightly. With it, I won't regret it for the rest of my life; with it, I won't be afraid."
Guo Jiaxunyu; with it, I can overcome obstacles on this rugged and difficult road."
"What are you talking about, young master?" Xu Sheng's gratuitous emotion made Xu Sheng a little confused.
After exhaling a breath, he stretched, then raised his head and said: "Let's go! Follow me back to Xuzhou!"
"Young master, have you decided to stay?" Xu Sheng's eyes lit up. Obviously, he didn't want Lin Mo to go to Xuchang.
"Let Cao Cao have thousands of troops, let him have a great future in Xuchang, there will always be soldiers and horses in this world who have nothing to do, and things that wealth and wealth cannot buy." At this moment, Lin Mo was extremely firm in his choice.
Even if I lose to Guo Jia, Xun You, Jia Xu and others in the future, the worst I can do is die again.
A scholar dies for a confidant.
When you truly understand this sentence, you will understand that what is precious is not the fearlessness to die, but the desire for a confidant.
Lin Mo is not sure whether Lu Bu is his confidant, but he will be his family member. Lin Mo believes this.
The two walked through the woods, mounted their horses, turned their horses around, and galloped with their whips raised.
After letting go of the shackles in my heart, it seems that even the wind is full of the flavor of freedom.
When they arrived at Xiaoguan City, Lu Bu was standing under the city gate, his red cloak looking very dazzling in the sunset.
The moment he saw Lin Mo, the light in his eyes and the joy on his face were intertwined.
"Marquis Wen, I am willing to follow you back to Xuzhou." Lin Mo jumped off his horse and bowed to Lu Bu who was walking towards him.
"I don't like this title." Lu Bu shook his head.
"But Ling'er..." The moment he knew Lu Bu's identity, he understood that the so-called nursing home Ling'er was Lu Lingqi.
If it weren't for a preconceived misunderstanding, it would actually not be difficult to guess.
"I know Ling'er. She has a strong temper. If she had no feelings for you, she wouldn't be able to send a horse to tell me."
The hint in Lu Bu's words is obvious.
After Lin Mo smiled comfortably, he bowed his hands again, "My son-in-law, Lin Mo, is willing to help my father-in-law!"
"Okay!"
Lu Bu took a step forward, pressed Lin Mo's shoulders heavily with his hands, and laughed, "This is my good son-in-law."
"Master Yue, please be gentle..." This hand almost took off Lin Mo's arm.
"Come with me, I'll show you something." He pulled Lin Mo towards Xiaoguan, but instead of entering the inner city, he went up the city gate along the city ladder. When he came to the horse trail, he held his hands on the city wall.
