Li Mu held his horse still at the entrance of the Pig-Herding Alley. He stayed for a while, lost in thought.
He was an imposter, not the real Li Mu on this planet. But he still decided to take in the real Li Mu's mother, because, for one thing, that was something he could do to compensate the real Li Mu for impersonating him. After all, no matter whether he was dead or still alive, judging by the things he did before, he was a talented and dutiful son. For another, he felt pity for the suffering the real Li Mu's mother had endured. He hoped the old woman who had been deceived by fate could be able to live a happy life in her twilight years.
Adding that he had not enjoyed parental love on Earth and that had left a hole in his heart, he was longing for such experience.
However, no matter how similar he and the real Li Mu looked, he was not the same man. What if the real Li Mu's mother discovered his real identity? That would be quite awkward.
"Who the hell are you?" demanded the stout man surnamed Zheng. Staring viciously at Li Mu, he gave a snort and said, "Want to poke your nose into this? Well, only a few in Chang'an dare butt in on my business. Little monk, you're asking for trouble here." Li Mu, however, turned a deaf ear to his threat. For Li Mu, the stout man and his cronies were nothing he needed to worry about. At that moment, he was still contemplating how to make himself known to the middle-aged woman. Since he had no knowledge of the things the real Li Mu did with his mother in the past, he could easily get caught. He even did not know how the real Li Mu used to call his mother. Did he call her mom? Mommy? Mother? Or other names? "Tell me, what happened? What's the matter?" Li Mu gazed down at the girl pleading for his help. The girl seemed hesitant. She looked up at him, clearly not knowing where to begin with since she was not sure whethe
This Mr. Dong's full name was Dong Yufei. He was a Dutou Official of the western region of Chang'an, a seventh-grade empire official that enjoyed the same status as a county magistrate. Although he might be deemed as a high-level official in any other place, he was barely a middle-level one in a city that was crammed full of authorities like Chang'an. Dong Yufei was five feet six inches. Fat, beardless, and fair skinned, he looked quite greedy and wretched. He was a close friend of Zheng Tianliang. Well, technically, he was his mercenary friend. In fact, a while ago, Zheng Tianliang had furtively sent a signal to this friend of his, hoping he would come to his aid at the fastest speed. However, when Dong Yufei and his twenty cronies arrived at the yard, Zheng Tianliang was already reduced to a headless corpse. "Who is so unscrupulous? How dare he murder Mr. Zheng?" snarled Dong Yufei. Shocked and infuriated by the scene, he turned to stare at Zheng Tianli
From outside came several people. The leader seemed to be at his twenties, who, with a face as white as a jem, and dashing eyebrows, was bright-eyed and slender and had good features. He was really handsome. Wearing a light suit of armor and carrying a long sword on his waist, he was engulfed by a heroic spirit. However, on his face was full of anger. He glared at Li Mu when coming in. Apparently, it was the young man who spoke just now. Behind him were four to five people, all about at their twenties. Though wearing strange clothes, they seemed quite noble, who were obviously from rich families at first sight. They are definitely masters of martial art since their breath was deep. Seeing they step in, "Heartless Scholar" Zheng Cunjian retreated a bit towards the corner, lowered his head, and kept silent as if he was integrated into the corner darkness. These young people who came in ignored this servant-like man.
"What do you mean?" Li Xiong looked back at Li Mu and instinctively felt that it was not good. Li Mu smiled and said, "The literal meaning." After that, Li Mu took act. Bang! Bang! Bang! As some kind of sound improper to small kids rose, companions of Li Xiong, the First Young Master of Chang'an Mansion, like puppets with broken strings, were slapped to fly out. Consequently, their well-fed bodies made a long parabola in the air. Until they fell in the mud outside the courtyard walls that they didn't scream. There was only Li Xiong alone in the original place. As Li Xiong looked at Li Mu's smile, his cold sweat flowed down immediately. "Are... are you crazy?" he glared at Li Mu, said with inward timidity, "If doing like this, you are burning bridge yourself. Do you know who they are? Among them, each family has the power to destroy you, but you..." Li Mu wave
Zhou Yiling narrowed his pupils slightly. "This joke is not funny." The internal qi around his body was released at a faster speed, showing faint brown sputum, and the field was more and more powerful. Li Mu smiled and said no more words, just crooked his finger towards Zhou Yiling. This was absolutely an aggressive behavior. Zhou Yiling, even knowing that Li Mu was deliberately provoking him, still felt angry. Although he was not the kind of child who had not gone through any difficulty, nor was he not challenged by his opponents, not knowing the reason, he couldn't restrain his fury when seeing Li Mu's careless expression. "kill!" He moved and his body flashed, seemingly disappearing in the original place. Then almost at the same time, Zhou Yiling, like a ghost, appeared in front of Li Mu, and his palms like a knife, pointed to Li Mu's chest. His speed was
At this flash, Li Xiong and his partners suddenly understood the connotation of Zhou Yiling's eyes when he left. Yes. They were really a group of idiots. They should fancy that strong arrows and crossbows, which were used to deal with the common Wulin elites, could defeat a super-class master of Mater Realm. Weren't they idiots? No wonder that Zhou Yiling was as anxious as a refugee to leave. In fact, he had judged that not only he couldn't fight against Li Mu, but even all the Black-armour soldiers and others on the spot couldn't succeed in unity. If it were not for Li Mu didn't want to kill people in his mother's yard, all the people in the yard might die. The looks of the officiallings and the rich young men were either black or pale. The trap they set today was made for others, but they didn't expect that they not only failed but also were attacked. They had no way to back down sinc
The night completely came, and Chang'an City was engulfed in the cold moonlight of the double moons. Even if in the prosperous place, there were places lack of prosperity, such as this slum in west city. After Zheng Cunjian got the order of Li Mu, he did not dare to neglect it and immediately turned around to go out to fulfill his task. Li Mu was not afraid that he would not go back. This time, he did not intend to keep a low profile, so the trouble arose tonight. Li Gang, magistrate of the prefecture, would definitely know the news of his coming. Li Mu didn't care what action the brute man, who had ruled Chang'an for more than ten years, would take. The most serious matter would be countering measures for measures. Thus, even if Zheng Cunjian returned to the government organ to disclose the secret at this time, Li Mu was not worried. At this moment, the injury on Zheng Cunjian's legs had already been cured, but h
If Li Mu was here, he must be shocked. Because this weird underground metal palace was exactly the same as the technology products on the earth. For example, the incandescent lamp was hanging overhead, the texture of the matte metal walls was extremely beautiful, and there were wall lamps on the walls and sofa and table in the room, all of which did not belong to this world. Whether in terms of style or material, they were exactly the same as the scientific and technological products on the earth. The entire underground metal palace consisted of three bedrooms, one dining hall, and one living room. In the living room with an area of about 30 square meters were celadon tea set placed. Behind the tea table was a graceful and slender figure cooking tea. She, attractive, was about at her thirties. The cheongsam with white cloud pattern set her figure off to advantage. Besides, her fingers, fair-skinned, well-moisturized, and like the top of fres
Li Mu's cultivation nowadays was at the peak of the Golden Immortal, and his battle power could cut down the first generals.If one were to obtain a drop of Immortal Marrow, one could instantly leap into the peak of Immortal Generals, and at that time, even if one were to face an Immortal King, one would be able to defeat him in battle, not to mention traversing across the major state capitals, even if it was the entire Eastern Sacred Continent, the heavens and the earth were vast, and one could go to it.At that time, it would be like a fish out of water to find Wang Shiyu, Hua Wanyong, and the others.At that thought, Li Mu immediately became desirous of this Immortal Marrow."One drop of Immortal Marrow, one great realm, so if a bottle of Immortal Marrow were all swallowed, wouldn't it directly soar into the Immortal Emperor, Immortal Emperor or even Immortal Lord realm?" Li Mu said.Xia Jing was stunned and then giggled."I didn't expect that
Uh-huh?What a scene of déjà vu.Li Mu all of a sudden, remembered the legendary Liu Huangshu Baidicheng entrusted the orphan.It's a pity that the Emperor is not Uncle Liu.And Li Mu is not Zhuge Kongming.Li Mu said indifferently, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I can make a dao oath that I won't taint the imperial power of Huangji Cliff for the rest of my life.""Cough cough cough ......" the emperor coughed, hastily said: "I ...... am not using words to frame you, I... ...In the chaotic world, there is no strength, sooner or later ...... sooner or later is the death ...... of the disaster ...... wood brother you if you are the emperor, or you may be able to ...... preserve a trace of my bloodline, I ......"Li Mu said, "Your Majesty's meaning, I understand, but my words remain the same, I will never dye the royal fist, Emperor Chen will be a bright ruler."The emperor sighed and said, "I understand ...... all ...... all stand down ....
Reimu smiled.Snap your fingers.Phew.A golden stream of light flashed by.Emperor Zhen, who was roaring at the top of his lungs, his voice came to an abrupt end, and his hands covered his neck, a splash of blood seeped out, followed by golden flames, which spewed out from his body."You ...... you dare to kill me?"He looked at Li Mu incredulously and eventually turned into a puff of flying ash.In the great hall, there was an instant dead silence.The horrific images, although they had ended, the aftermath was still like a hurricane, still madly hitting everyone's nerves over and over again.Prince Wood actually went out and killed someone?He actually made a move?Killing a royal son with royal blood flowing in his body right here in this great hall?He dared.He really dared.All the ministers felt that their bodies were cold, as if they had fallen into an ice cave, like the cold winter of the t
The other ministers in the hall, hearing such words, could not help but look at Zheng Yuan with shocked gazes.The so-called Emperor Tatsu's son is a wild seed, this kind of thing, if you don't explode it sooner or later, and you don't explode it at this time, what is the intention?Besides, it's not certain whether it's true or not.Saying such words in such an important meeting of the court was tantamount to slapping the emperor's face in public and rubbing the emperor's majesty, on the ground.What a nerve.On one side, Servant Yin's face changed wildly as she shook her head and argued, "No, it's not like that, Chen'er is His Majesty's child ...... "When the Emperor intended to set up Emperor Chen as the Crown Prince just now, she vaguely realized that this was a dangerous signal, the treacherous darkness of the palace court was not something she could resist as a small servant girl.But I didn't expect the slander and danger to come so
"Tatsu-chan!"Servant Yin was filled with a huge surprise in her chest and subconsciously rushed over to the little boy and held him in her arms."Mother, you're here too ...... Mother, I've seen father."The little boy dug into Squire Yin's arms with delight.His first words had to do with his parents.But many snickers resounded clearly and audibly in the great hall.Although no one said anything, the meaning was clear: 'Father' is a word you call, too?Servant Yin, however, didn't pay that much attention.In the instant she saw her son, her heart, without the slightest bit of nervousness or panic, held her son firmly in her arms, and the only thought in her entire life and soul at that moment was to protect her son at all costs."Do not make a noise and stand aside."The Grand Eunuch opened his mouth to chide.The little boy then kept his mouth tightly shut.He was foolish and hadn't seen much of the world, b
A cold aura flickered.A sword to the death.The sharp sword was about to pierce the young maid's brow.Just then, a sudden change occurred.Suddenly space and time seemed to freeze, and the black-clothed assassin realized that his immortal sword, after all, was no longer able to progress the slightest bit.What's going on?He was alarmed in his mind.And yet the next moment--Ding!The sword body incredibly broke apart and turned into countless shards.The tip of the sword flew backward and penetrated the black-clothed assassin's throat.Before the blood could soar out, his body erupted into a ball of golden flames, which then turned into flying ash and dissipated into the air.The little maid looked at what was in front of her in shock.In that moment just now, she thought she was bound to die.It turned out to be the assassin who died.Who saved me?She gasped in horror and looked arou
The Emperor was sitting on the throne of the Nine to Five, a little tired.The fact that he was poisoned was not revealed to the public.So until now, no one has known.But the toxin was eating away at his body so frantically that his energy was declining so much that his entire body felt extremely tired at all times.The sound of ministers' ears arguing seemed near and far away in the ear.The hand-wringing Prince Tatsu was led by the great eunuch and stood on the side of the dragon chair.Eight or nine year old boy, for the first time out of that small compound, face full of fear, timid, like a small goat caught in a wolf pack, not knowing what to do, lowered his head, twisted the corner of his coat, did not even dare to come out of the atmosphere.This look, in the eyes of the ministers, is even more unbearable."Your Majesty's intention to establish a Crown Prince is a major event, and should not be done in haste, perhaps it should
The little boy did not return until late afternoon.The young maid tried to inquire about the news several times, but was mercilessly stopped by the palace's close guards guarding the entrance of the firewood courtyard.She had been until, herself, she was secluded.This alarmed the young maid even more.What the hell is going on?What kind of terrible things would Tatsu'er face if he went to the palace?The Empress and the Noble Consorts, they won't poison him, will they?Why did His Majesty suddenly summon Chen'er to the palace?She speculated in her mind in fear, her tears were like a fountain that she could not control at all.It's a mother's love for her son.Humble but great love.Kneeling on both knees in the courtyard, she looked up at the Hao Sun that was gradually setting in the sky, and at the silver full moon that had already risen, shedding tears and silently praying with her life and soul."Tatsu'e
The Emperor was at the half-step Golden Immortal level of cultivation, and although this realm was forcefully instilled with various resources and secret techniques, the realm was enough after all.The lifespan of a half-step Golden Immortal could be more than five thousand years.So the Emperor never thought that he would have to face death head on, so soon."It's so ...... ungrateful."He smiled bitterly on his face and sighed deeply on the inside.But in the end, you have to face reality.The biggest problem to consider today was who should inherit the throne of Huangji Cliff after his death.He had only ascended the throne as emperor for just over two years, and because he was diligent in his political affairs and too young, he had not even considered the matter of the succession of the throne.In the harem, there are but one wife and two concubines.These three women were not his true love, but were allied for the sake of pr
