"What?"
"Ahh?"
"Er..."
Ardent and righteous as they were, the six frontier soldiers were still startled by the news. "But Qin Lin was a prince. How could he kill him?"
"What kind of background does this man in front of us have on earth?"
Oblivious to their astonishment, Li Mu continued, "It's just that you've all been involved in this case. If you stay in the city of Chang'an, I'm afraid you can hardly be spared when Lord Zhenxi starts his retaliation. So, I'm wondering what plans you guys have got."
"Emm..." Wu Beichen pondered over it for a moment and then gritted his teeth and declared, "We're willing to be witnesses on your side. We can testify that Qin Lin had engaged in misdeeds and jeopardized the military tomb..."
"They are true men indeed." Li Mu praised them inwardly.
When he saw Wu Beichen and his company stuck up for Granny Cai, Li Mu was already well disposed
He would send his mother and the maids back to Taibai County. Since he had affronted a powerful man like Lord Zhenxi, the city of Chang'an was no longer safe. Even the magic formation placed in the Shack could not guarantee their security. Thus, only the government in Taibai County covered by the Earth Evil Polaris Formation could protect Li Mu's mother and the maids. And only when Li Mu's mother and the maids were safe, Li Mu dared to push ahead and confront Lord Zhenxi without scruples. That was the plan for the worse scenario. Zheng Cunjian nodded at once and replied, "Yes, sir." At that time, he was too astonished and frightened to give a second opinion to Li Mu. When Zheng Cunjian was gone, Li Mu went out of the study and announced to Madam Li and the maids the decision that he would send them to Taibai County. "Mu'er, something has happened, right?" asked Madam Li with concerns.
"I feel like I'm ready to walk on the clouds like a fairy and about to drift off with the wind..." Hua Xiangrong opened her eyes. With a pleasantly surprised look, she felt more energetic than ever. This comfortable sensation was quite different than the relaxation she gained after a good nap. Now, it seemed that the world she saw had become brighter. Thus, she said with excitement, "The effect of this Breathing Skill is very salient..." She adopted a girly demeanor that was quite sweet and adorable. Li Mu said, "As long as time allows, you should practice this method like this every day. I believe it won't take you long before you become an unmatched expert who can domineer part of the world." He truly had high hopes for Hua Xiangrong. Hua Xiangrong's eyes were gleaming. She stretched herself with a yawn and then said in an exceedingly charming tone, "Young Master, as long as I can be with you, I'm perfectly satisfied." With those words, a
"Did he get as powerful as our head within merely a dozen days?" Zhao Ling could not help guessing the reason for his unusual aura. But she soon repelled that thought. Because that was utterly impossible. Through their conversation, Li Mu learned that with the care of Zhao Ling, the female pharmacist, Feng Yuanxing and Zhen Meng had fully recovered. No permanent harm was left on them, except for some scares. As to Ma Junwu, though he could not sprout a new arm after the old one was chopped off, the rest of his injuries were all healed, and now he was able to move around all by himself. Only Qing Feng, the quirky little attendant, had not fully recovered since he lost too much blood in the parts below his knees, which caused the injury to be too severe. But at least he was lucky enough to avoid the amputation. So, with the help of a wheelchair, he could easily get about in the county government. "Is i
"No wonder the old faker once said that the Natural Taoist Figure had the potential to dominate a sea of stars. He really wasn't kidding then." Anyway, the Xiantian Skill was devised to enhance the spiritual force in the first place. And Hua Xiangrong was a Natural Taoist Figure. If taking the two factors into consideration, it did make sense that she should gain such rapid progress. An idea suddenly hit Li Mu—now that Hua Xiangrong's practice speed was so fast, he might as well teach her some Taoist magic arts. Unlike martial arts, the practice and execution of Taoist magic arts did not require much time, hard work, or repetitive exercises. As long as the practitioner's spiritual force was adequate, and his blood, qi, and vigor of life were abundant enough to sense the Spiritual Qi power of various elements between heaven and earth, he or she would be able to master those arts. In other words, the study of Taoist magic arts was more demandi
For Li Mu, the most useful function of the internal qi was that it could serve as the lubricant in his practice and help him make more breakthroughs in studying the Zhenwu Boxing. Before, no matter how perfect he did on the first three styles of the Zhenwu Boxing, he was always seized by a pang of agony as if his meridians and bones were broken if he proceeded to the fourth style. Li Mu assumed it might have something to do with the lack of internal qi in his body. In essence, the Zhenwu Boxing was a fighting skill, a combat technique. A martial technique usually required the assistance of the internal qi to come into play. Today, after successfully producing his internal qi, Li Mu finally saw a silver lining. At the time, the remote sky started to gain the whitish color of twilight. Gradually, half of the sky was reddened by the rosy clouds of dawn. The military grave had been shut down for several
Zheng Cunjian reported. "Liu Wufeng? He is a strong man, skilled in 24 styles of Fairy Sword in Cloud, which is known as supernatural swordsmanship. He was defeated, and at that time, it seemed that Lord Zhenxi was really irritated." Li Gang, with a jade-like complexion, refined demeanor, and graceful bearing, smiled and said, "Besides, these days, a dozen sects, including the Wu Liang Sword Sect, Wind-rain Sect, and Qing Sha Clan are the pro-forces of Lord Zhenxi. Hoho, this momentum seems a bit powerful." "Do we need to disclose a little information to Young Master?" Zheng Cunjian asked. "Since Li Mu has no foundation in Chang'an City, he definitely doesn't know any news. If I disclose the news to him, he may get some help." Li Gang shook his head and said, "It's up to you." Zheng Cunjian nodded, pondering the meaning of this sentence. For the first time, he could not figure out the thoughts of the
"Mimi, don't move. Bear it a bit more, bear it a bit more." The middle-aged beautiful woman hugged her little daughter, Tang Mi, tightly. This beautiful woman, wearing a robe that could only simply cover her body, looked to be in her early 30s. She was still graceful, with jade-like white skin, and her long black hair was messily scattered. Besides this, there was a little nobleness between her eyebrows, she was obviously of noble birth. She used to be a lady. But now, she stayed in the Musical House pallidly. Holding her little daughter tightly, she resisted tears. Beside her also sat a little beautiful girl, who looked like she was 15 or 16 years old and was her eldest daughter, Tang Tang. With a fluffy tilted frisette and her hair half tied up, she was very similar to the middle-aged woman in appearance, but was purer and sweeter and more innocent. However, they showed the same expression of fear and haggardness with confused eyes, and occasionally a h
At the same time— Li Mu rode the chrysanthemum leopard and returned to the Holy House. "Young Master is back." Hua Xiangrong smiled as excitedly as a little wife greeting her husband. She naturally handed the hot towel to Li Mu to wipe his face and took his coat at the same time, putting it on the hanger on one side. In the past three to five days, in addition to the time spent in taking in Earthvein Spiritual Qi in the military cemetery, Li Mu stayed in the Holy House all the time, and did not go to the Shack in Pig-Herding Alley. Li Mu sat down to drink tea and asked with a smile, "Regarding Huaer's cultivation today, was anything gained?" Hua Xiangrong nodded with excitement, pinched out a handprint, and a breeze emerged from her palm, which immediately wiped the dust on Li Mu's outer shirt. She said, "I feel that my spiritual force has reached the four-star realm..." After Li Mu's infusion and explanation thes
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
