Chapter 104
"That's none of your business! Why do you kill me?" I don't know whether to call this man stupid or brave, but at this moment he can still say this.

The headed man in black snorted coldly when he heard this, and then put his long sword on Mu Jie's neck with a "swish": "Is this enough?"

But I didn't expect that Mu Jie, who was so scared that he peed his pants just now, now looks deathly.He gritted his teeth and kept silent, letting the sharp blade cut a bloodstain on his neck.

"Heh!" The man in black sneered and handed the long sword forward an inch: "Now you are not afraid of death? Then why did you behave like a cat when Li Xie threatened you?"

"Of course... how did you know that Li Xie threatened me?"

Because the eldest son of Li Xie's family was addicted to gambling, he came to his father to ask for it after losing all his money.

Later, under Li Xie's coercion and lure, the already precarious Mu family was even more precarious when Mu Jie dug it up, almost becoming an empty shell.

"You're not stupid, how about making a deal with us?"

Hearing this, Mu Jie was stunned for a moment and said, "Why should I make a deal with you?"

"Do you think you have the right to refuse?"

Mu Jie could already feel the blood flowing from his neck down his chest.

"You kill me!" After saying this, he stretched his neck forward as if he was dead, and the blade of the sword on the neck inevitably pierced into the skin a little more.

"Why can't you think about it, and insist on going to death?" The leader of the man in black smiled mockingly and then put away his long sword, and then saw him with a sneer on his face, and whispered in Mu Jie's ear: "We can Help you destroy the Li family and kill Li Xie."

"So... are you going to die too?" His voice was very soft, but it sounded like thunder in Mu Jie's ears.

Killed Li Xie... destroyed the Li family...

For Mu Jie, this is something he never even dared to think about.

Even if Li Xie went too far sometimes, he still believed that a gnat may not have the power to shake a tree, so he never thought of rebelling, but only thought about how to please Li Xie so that he could live a better life.

And as time passed, many of Li Xie's dirty things began to be handled by him slowly, so as long as Li Xie was alive, he would not dare to betray Li Xie, even if he died.

"Who are you? How can I believe that you will really help me kill Li Xie?"

The leader of the man in black smiled, then took out a bronze waist card from his pocket and said, "Do you know this thing?"

Mu Jie fixed his eyes and looked at him with one pupil: "This is my elder brother's badge, why is it in your hand?! What are you doing to my elder brother!"

"Don't worry, General Mu is fine."

It seems that no matter how bad this Mu Festival is, he still cares about his elder brother Mu Cang in his heart.

"Then how did you..."

"There is no other meaning for you to see this, but just to prove that we are on General Mu's side."

And Mu Cang's hatred for Li Xie is just like Sima Zhao's heart.

Mu Jie's eyes slowly swept over the men in black around him. At this moment, he couldn't help but recall the words that Qixie threatened him two days ago: give me 8 taels within ten days. Come out, or I will kill your eldest brother!

8 taels...the life of the whole family...the firmness in his eyes gradually melted and disappeared...

Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "What do you want me to do?"

"That's right, this is a smart man." The man in black gestured behind him while speaking, and then the other men in black surrounding Mu Jie immediately put down their weapons.

"It's very simple, find a way to get the evidence of the collusion between the Li family and Zhao Mingjie, and then give it to us."

Hearing this, Mu Jie was startled and said, "How do you know..."

"You don't need to worry about how we know, you just need to know that after you hand it over, the Li family will soon cease to exist."

"But I will also..." In this muddy water, he has already sunk deep into the mud.

The leader of the man in black folded his arms when he heard the words, looked down at Mu Jie and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, since we are trading with you, we are business friends, and we will naturally guarantee the safety of our friends."

"Why should I trust you?"

"If you don't believe me...it's just one life." When he said this, the tone of the man in black seemed not to be discussing life and death with others, but to explain what to eat tomorrow.

After that, Mu Jie stood there and hesitated for a long time without speaking.

Because what was in front of him at this time was undoubtedly the most difficult choice he had encountered in half his life.

Why are the fate of the Li family and the Mu family suddenly in his own hands at the same time?
This made it hard for him who used to follow Li Xie around for a while, and the wordless silence lasted for a long time...

If it wasn't for his master's order to make him agree, then the leader of the man in black would really get impatient and kill him.

"I...promise you."

After saying these words, Mu Jie seemed to completely let go of the burden in his heart.

His expression became much more relaxed: "However, can I ask you one more question?"

The leader of the man in black is also in a good mood now that he got the result he wanted, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Say it."

"Why the Li family?"

"A person's path is chosen by himself."

If you go right, you will see a clear sky, but if you go wrong, you will see a deep abyss. Who makes the Li family want to step on the prince's pirate ship?

However, who is right or wrong is the one who decides, or the power has the final say.

"I'll give you three days. After three days, someone will come to your door with the other half of this jade pendant. When the time comes, just hand it over to him."

Mu Jie obediently took the half jade pendant handed over by the man in black, and then, after hesitating for a long time, he said, "Then when will you do it..."

"Are you asking Li Xie? Or the Li family?"

After the leader of the man in black asked the question, he didn't wait for Mu Jie to answer, but asked himself with a sarcasm and answered: "The Li family, of course, you can't act until you get your things."

He didn't mention Li Xie, but it didn't seem necessary to explain too clearly, after all, everyone is a smart person.

"Xiao Wu, send Master Mu back home."

The night was getting darker and darker, and the shadow cast by the moonlight slowly covered the entire Beiwei capital.

And there must have been too many things that happened on this small road, but after people have left the building, it is still the same as other roads, and there is no difference.

Prince An's Mansion.

"See you, my lord, my lord."

In front of Gu Junyi was the leader of the man in black just now.

And after taking off the mask, the person under the mask is exactly Tianji's appearance.

At this moment, he was kneeling respectfully in front of Gu Junyi and Shen Wenliang, saluting them.
