Morbid pet

Chapter 324 Ziang
Li Mu was slightly startled, then said: "Okay."

Yang Captou waved his hand, and the servants and guards retreated one after another.

Li Mu stood in the courtyard and waited for a long time. It was not until the sky turned dark that he heard footsteps approaching. Immediately afterwards, Capt. Yang walked out of the back room, holding two exquisite brocade boxes in his hand.

"This is the snow lotus from the Western Regions that I specially bought from southern Xinjiang yesterday. Take one pill each morning and evening. You can take it with you on the road. It can dispel cold and detoxify, delay aging, and beautify your skin. It is especially effective for women."

Yang Captou looked at Li Mu and asked, "Do you still lack any medicinal materials or pills? I'll send someone to deliver them to you."

Li Mu shook his head and said, "Uncle, I really don't need to trouble you. Xiaobai should be waking up soon. I'll leave first."

Yang Cat nodded and said, "I'll give it to you."

The moment he walked out of the courtyard, Li Mu looked back at the courtyard wall, thinking that although this Yang Captou looked a little more ferocious, he was still a man worthy of admiration.

The two of them walked down the mountain behind the county government office. Captain Yang suddenly whispered: "I suspect that someone is secretly investigating this case. There is something fishy about this case. I hope it won't involve you, so that you can return safely." Shuzhou..."

He paused and said: "If you want to find out the truth, there is no need to risk investigating those conspiracies. You should always discuss everything with His Majesty. Your Majesty is kind and will always help you solve it..."

Li Mu was silent for a moment and said, "Well, I will directly negotiate with the elder brother."

Captain Yang waved his hand and said, "This is of your own free will and has nothing to do with me."

While they were talking, the two of them had already gone down the mountain. Yang Captou left on horseback. Li Mu was about to go back to the inn, but he felt a sharp aura coming towards him.

"Be careful……"

A flying knife came through the air, and Li Mu couldn't dodge. His shoulder was scratched by the dart, and blood seeped into his clothes.

At this distance, the poison smeared on the flying knife had no time to defend itself.

The black shadow missed the blow and immediately shot another flying knife at his neck. Li Mu stretched his right arm to block the flying knife, but his left leg was stabbed by another flying knife.

This time, the black shadow was faster, and Li Mu had no time to react. He flew backwards several feet away and fell heavily to the ground.

Li Mu covered the wound and got up. He looked around at the shadow in the woods somewhere and gritted his teeth and said, "Who are you?"

After a while, a figure walked out of the dark forest. He looked at Li Mu who was lying in the grass and said, "You are so embarrassed. I don't know. I thought you were stealing. After all, this is the county government's back house. You How dare you break in?"

Li Mu covered the wound and said, "Is it you?"

The man smiled and said: "Yes, it's me!"

This is a very handsome young man with fair skin, bright black eyes, a straight nose, sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, red lips and white teeth. He looks more like a young man from an aristocratic family than his master.

He looked at Li Mu and said, "Do you know me?"

Li Mu shook his head and said: "I don't know you, but looking at your sneaky behavior, I guess you are not a good person. Since you did it, you can stay here and practice martial arts with me!"

As soon as Li Mu finished speaking, he felt the temperature around him drop sharply, and a gust of cool wind blew. He trembled all over, took a few steps back in a hurry, and looked at the young man in front of him warily.

The man's hands were condensed with strands of ice crystals, exuding a strong cold aura. His eyes were fixed on Li Mu, as if he was hesitating about something.

Li Mu's eyes also fell on him and said: "I don't like when there is a mad dog watching next to me during a fight..."

The man snorted softly and said, "I don't want to compete with a mad dog!"

Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief, and then couldn't help but sigh: "So you are so afraid of dogs. No wonder you just fired the arrow without saying a word. If you really kill me, my uncle probably won't be able to spare you. I advise you to hurry up." Run..."

The young man was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Li Mu pointed to the tattoo on his wrist and said in surprise: "You actually wear Buddhist beads..."

The young man's face became extremely strange, and then he sneered: "You think this is fake, let me tell you, it is real, my necklace is inlaid with five pearls, each one is priceless..."

Li Mu shook his head and said with some regret: "It's such a waste. Such a precious treasure is turned into a string of Buddhist beads. It's too wasteful and does not suit your status as a rich playboy..."

"court death!"

The young man was so angry that he could no longer hold back and rushed towards Li Mu.

Li Mu hasn't fought for a long time. He hasn't hit anyone since he became ignorant. At most, he hit tree stumps when practicing martial arts. Because Changle doesn't allow him to hit people, Li Mu often goes crazy and hits himself. The violence in his body The factor is more than ten times that of Xie Zhao. Xie Zhao was formed due to acquired circumstances, but Li Mu was born with it.

This also means that he is a vicious wolf, able to seize any opportunity to break through quickly and accurately, and any tiny movement will magnify and magnify in his dark pupils.

Li Mu smiled and said, "You are no match for me."

After three or five moves with him, the young man found that he was no match for his opponent and took the initiative to lose.

Li Mu is no longer fond of fighting. He has become very restrained in fighting. Now he is almost in a Buddhist state. This is also due to his family's education.

Li Mu sat down next to the young man. The young man seemed a little embarrassed to admit defeat and moved two steps to the side. The two of them leaned side by side on the slope with unruly expressions.

The young man was very good-looking, and could almost be described as beautiful. He sniffed, and Li Mu turned his head and said, "Hey, don't cry! I didn't bully you!"

The young man was amused by Li Mu and pushed him repeatedly, "It's not you who bullied me. Shut up. By the way, the group of secret guards behind you are good. The master started fighting in front, and they are still willing to stay squatting." You are calm in the tree, you are not an ordinary secret guard, right? Who are you?"

The secret guards were trained by Xie Zhao, and they were all outstanding martial arts talents of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, they could tell at a glance that the young man in front of them could not threaten their little master, so they kept guarding a position not far or near, and did not go any further. Come in.

Li Mu didn't want to hide his identity, so he immediately stretched out his hand and said to the young man: "You lost, but I still want to be your friend. It's interesting. My name is Li Mu, and I am King Yu of the Ming Dynasty." The young man. He was shocked again. He originally thought that the pampered young master in front of him was an ordinary person, not particularly ordinary. He probably had some money and power in his family. But what he didn't expect was that the person in front of him was actually the proud son of heaven, the Supreme Emperor. The only son, you can imagine how precious he is.

Li Mu only has a sense of nobility, but no arrogance. He is humble and polite, and he will not be harsh on others.

I really can't tell that such a lucky person has the quality of humility.

rare.

The young man's mind was shaken. He stretched out his hand and quickly held it with Li Mu.

The young man introduced himself and said: "Your Majesty, my name is Chen Zi'ang. I have no background. I am an ordinary tea merchant in the Ming Dynasty."

Li Mu laughed, his eyes bright as he said he didn't believe it, "Can a tea merchant be so grumpy?"

"You don't look like that, Zi Ang."

Chen Ziang's neck turned red for a while, and he explained: "I am an assassin of Jialuomen, and my mother is the head of Jialuo Temple, but I don't seem to have the talent for assassination. This time I came here on a mission," He suddenly raised his head to the sky at a 45-degree angle and smiled bitterly, "As you have just seen, I am really clumsy in fighting, have no talent, and am already dying. No one will take me on missions anymore, so I asked for it myself this time." I went on a mission alone, but I also failed.”

Li Mu frowned and said: "Rather than believing that you are not a tea merchant, I don't want to believe that you are an assassin. Have you really been trained since childhood? How can you be worse than me, who spends three days fishing and two days drying nets? "

Chen Ziang sighed and explained: "I don't know either. I started practicing when I was a child, but now I can barely kill a fish. I can't kill people. If I can't get rid of that hand, I can only continue to eat in the organization." Waiting to die.”

Li Mu suddenly felt sorry for this little assassin, even though he himself was one year younger.Li Mu comforted him: "Don't be too sad. Although the world is not black and white, it is not all gray. If you don't want to be an assassin, you can become a tea merchant and be yourself." Something I like.”

Chen Ziang shook his head, pointed to his chest and said, "The poison in my body is the poison of Datura. I must take an antidote before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month every year. If I don't take the antidote, I will die. The antidote is only given out by Elder Jialuomen. It is only given out once a year, and each person only has one pill. Even if my mother wants to take it, I can't take it. I can only inherit her mantle and become an assassin."

Li Mu asked him: "My mother, Princess Changle, is a master of poison preparation and detoxification. How about I help you ask about the poison on your body next time I see her?"

Chen Zi'ang originally complained unintentionally, but he didn't expect that this aloof young prince actually listened and tried to help him. He was really touched.

Chen Ziang was not the kind of person who was willing to take advantage of his friends, so he immediately refused: "No, thank you, but I will take care of my own life."

Li Mu nodded slightly, "Okay, contact me if you need anything. By the way, what is your assassination mission this time?"

Chen Ziang had no intention of hiding anything now, and immediately blurted out, "Yang Zhong, that's the head catcher who's with you."

Li Mu:! ! !
"He is my uncle! Why did you kill him?"

Chen Ziang's face showed a blank look, and then he said: "It's not that we want to kill him, but someone paid for his life, but the price shouldn't be too high, otherwise why would you send me here."

Li Mu asked again: "How much money can buy his life?"

Chen Ziang entered the thatched house, went to dig through his package, and took out a stack of black and gold documents from a worn-out cloth bag. The innermost piece was a delivery note, which clearly stated that Yang Zhong's head or something that could represent his identity was to be taken. Some people can return to their lives within three days. A small number of one zero is written on the signature with a golden brush.

Li Mu asked: "Is it one tael of gold?"

Chen Ziang actually didn't understand this very well. He had never cared about this number before. Anyway, the most exaggerated number he had seen when he and his mother were on a mission were eight zeros written in golden ink.

At this moment, Chen Ziang clearly realized that people are really divided into three, six or nine grades. Some people can be sold at a high price even after they die.

Chen Ziang came back to his senses and said, "No, this means ten taels of gold, that is, ten taels."

Li Mu nodded and took out a 1000 taels of silver note from his pocket and handed it to him, "I bought my uncle's life. You can take this note and go back to recover your life."

Chen Ziang hurriedly stuffed it back, "No, it doesn't make sense. Isn't this a black order? Even if I can't complete this order, I can just go back and get a few whips, but if the other party adds money, your uncle" He paused After a pause, his mouth suddenly felt very dry, "He will still die."

Li Mu had saliva stuck in his throat, and then he immediately stood up and walked towards the horse, "I'll take care of it when I get back!"

Chen Ziang wanted to stop him and provide him with more information, but he just left so lightly. Soon Li Mu came back. He took out a gold coin with a dragon pattern from his arms and threw it to Chen Ziang. , "Zi Ang, I have to deal with my uncle's affairs first. If you want to find me, take this gold coin and hand it to the waiter at the treasure shop in Chang'an City. He will take you to me."

Chen Ziang felt as if he was knocked unconscious by Li Mu taking money and power. He was a little dizzy and didn't react, so he just said stiffly: "Okay."
-
Tai Chi Temple.

There are so many things going on lately that I can’t even take care of other things.

Li Wanning felt like he was back to the time when he had just ascended the throne, and was so busy every day that he was dizzy.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Yu is here."

Li Wanning put down the paperwork and took a breath to greet his younger brother. To be fair, he had a very good relationship with Changle's twins.

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

Li Mu strode forward, menacingly, and there was a lingering shadow between his brows. "Brother, it's bad, someone wants to spend ten taels of gold to buy my uncle's life!"

Li Wanning then asked people to sit down, and then the eunuch quickly brought two cups of hot tea, "Don't worry, tell me slowly, did you encounter anything in the past two days?"

Li Mu took a sip of hot tea and recounted what happened in the past two days.

"Brother, this is what happened. It's up to you to decide how to deal with it."

Li Wanning nodded slightly. In fact, this was his responsibility. Now he was letting the children worry about it. He felt guilty and said, "Mu'er, go back first. You have been tired for the past two days. Big brother will send the child to you now." I will bring my uncle to the palace. No matter how powerful Jialan's assassin is, there is no way he can break into the palace rashly. I will arrange for people to handle the rest of the things. If you are really worried, just take someone there. Let's take my uncle to live in the palace. By the way, don't tell my aunt and uncle about this matter for the time being. They probably don't want to be bothered by these things now."

Li Mu nodded, he was really worried, but now it's best if his eldest brother is willing to protect Yang Captou.
