Volume 1 Chapter 156 Ji and Huo conspired
The two were silent for a long time, and Li Mu finally put down the knife and said coldly, "I believe you!"
Feng Niang opened her eyes and looked at the panting Li Mu and said, "Thank you." β
"What's the situation with the Ji family now?" asked Li Mu after calming his breath.
"I haven't been back to the Ji family for many years, and I don't know much about the situation in the family. But I can tell you something. β
"What?"
"The Ji family is already investigating you everywhere, including your residence, and I'm sure they've already searched it. β
"I know, I've been back. β
Feng Niang looked at Li Mu in surprise, and after thinking about it, she could run away from under Ji Meiru's hands, plus he could break the force measuring column, her worries were completely superfluous, and after calming down, she said, "Li Mu, give you a suggestion." β
"You say. β
"Take refuge in the Huo family!"
"Why?"
"I heard that Huo Zhixia, the daughter of the Huo family, has been trying to recruit you, but you have frequently refused, plus you broke the force measuring column in front of Huo Zhengqi, I believe that at this juncture, if you go to the Huo family, you will definitely be able to get asylum and turn the whole thing over. Feng Niang analyzed.
"I don't need asylum!"
"What about Lu Tiantian?" Feng Niang asked directly to the core of the question, "You are strong, even if Ji Meiru collides with you head-on, I believe that you have the ability to protect yourself, but Lu Tiantian has only been to more than 400 powers, how much strength does she have to protect herself?"
Li Mu was silent when he heard this.
"If you don't take refuge in the Huo family, don't take this opportunity to take a breath, and cultivate Lu Tiantian, I'm afraid that the next person who forces you to go to the iron cage will be Ji Meiru!"
"But I don't want to get involved in the struggle between the Ji and Huo families!" Li Mu said impatiently.
"Then do you have a choice?" Feng Niang said calmly, "If you choose to give up Lu Tiantian, you don't have to consider my suggestion." β
Li Mu was silent again, and after a long time, he asked, "How is the Huo family's style?"
"In all fairness, the Huo family's style is a hundred times stronger than the Ji family, if you take refuge in the Huo family, you can rest assured that they will not have someone like Ji Liangping. Feng Niang commented.
"I didn't expect you to speak for the Huo family. β
"I'm just talking about things. β
"Okay, I'll consider your proposal. Saying that, Li Mu put away Yu Hunt and turned to leave.
After Li Mu left for a long time, Feng Niang muttered, "I hope he is the son of prophecy!"
Li Mu put on his hat and mask and walked in the direction of Wuliang Mansion, guarding whether anyone was following him as he went.
Coming to the gate of Wuliang Mansion, Li Mu stopped, hesitated and went in, came to the martial arts arena, and walked in the direction of the Huo family.
After a while, he saw a figure in front of him walking towards him, followed by a fat woman.
Li Mu wanted to stagger the two, but unexpectedly, the figure stopped in front of Li Mu, it was Huo Zhixia.
Huo Zhixia opened his mouth and asked, "Dare to ask Your Excellency if you are a Hongchen Layman?"
"Uh......" Li Mu hesitated, and said in his heart, "I have only used the title of Hongchen Layman once, how does this little girl know?"
Li Mu cleared his throat and said, "Exactly, I've seen Miss Huo." β
"You call me Miss Huo?" Huo Zhixia said with a smug look, "Have you seen me anywhere?"
Li Mu was stunned, wondering in his heart, "Do you recognize me?"
Then he said nonsense, "The kid met Miss Huo on the street. β
When the woman heard this, she covered her mouth and chuckled.
Huo Zhixia said with a relieved look on his face, "Li Mu, you come with me, I have something to tell you." β
Li Mu was terrified in his heart, and said calmly on the surface, "I think Miss Huo recognized the wrong person." β
Huo Zhixia was not happy, and said, "You are still pretending to be with me, believe it or not, I will shout your name now, how many people here will want to exchange your life for quenching stone?"
"You!" Li Mu really panicked this time, and said in a low voice, "What are you going to do?" "Admit it!" Huo Zhixia Jiao smiled, "Let you pretend just now." β
"How did you recognize me?"
"I have never left the gate of the Huo family, and the first time I went to the Infinite Pagoda to practice, it was the first time I went out, so since you can know who I am, it proves that we know each other. β
"But there were so many people in the Infinite Tower that day, and many people knew you, how could you be so sure that it was me!"
"That's just Dong'er's credit, before I went to the Infinite Tower, he spread the news, they look at what I'm wearing, they naturally know who I am, but you must be the only one who can recognize me at a glance!
"You're really ......" Li Mu shook his head helplessly and said, "Let's go." β
The two had just left the martial arts arena and came to the pavilion on the side of the martial arts arena.
"What's the matter, tell me. Li Mu asked after sitting down.
"I apologized to you for being wrong. Huo Zhixia said bluntly.
The fat woman on the side said anxiously, "Miss, you ......"
Huo Zhixia raised his hand to stop her and continued, "Today I officially extend an invitation to you, inviting you to become my Huo Zhixia's doorman. As he spoke, Huo Zhixia held the jade plate engraved with the word "Huo" in both hands and handed it to Li Mu.
Li Mu glanced at the jade card, and subconsciously wanted to refuse, but after thinking about Feng Niang's words for a while, he thought about it again and again, and asked, "If I take this jade card, will I sell myself to you?" β
Seeing this, Huo Zhixia understood that there was a drama in his heart, and hurriedly replied, "No, not only will it not restrict your freedom, but it will also give you a certain amount of protection, I think ......" Huo Zhixia hesitated for a moment, and then said, "This should be what you need most at the moment." β
"What does that require me to do?"
"Victory in the seventh tier of the month. β
"This month?" Li Mu thought for a while, "This month may not be enough, I still have things to do." β
"Then ......" Huo Zhixia asked tentatively again, "next month?"
Li Mu smiled, and just as he was about to speak, he swept into a familiar figure, which immediately made him nervous, took the jade plate in Huo Zhixia's hand, and said, "Wait until I'm ready to tell you!"
Throwing off a sentence, Li Mu ran towards the figure quickly, and Huo Zhixia's voice came from behind him.
"Leave the matter of Hongchen Ju to me, and you can go back in two days. β
Li Mu kept these words in his heart, and his pace sped up a few points.
At this time, Lu Tiantian stood in the martial arts arena, took a deep breath, and shouted, "Ji Liang......"
Before he finished speaking, he was covered by a black shadow, and the whole person was taken away by the black shadow uncontrollably.
"You don't want to die?" Li Mu said in a low voice.
"Brother Mu!" Lu Tiantian was a little happy in her heart, but her mind turned into resentment, and she said, "You let go of me! You let go of me! I want to go back and avenge my brother!"
"What kind of revenge can you take?400 Dao power level?" Li Mu scolded, "You are not revenge, you are sending death!"
When Lu Tiantian heard this, she hugged Li Mu's chest and couldn't stop crying, "But...... My brother ...... Dead!"
"I know, I know......" Li Mu stroked Lu Tiantian's head and said, "I also want to take revenge, but now is not the time, listen to Brother Mu's words, when you grow up, we will go, okay?"
Lu Tiantian nodded vigorously.
Li Mu took Lu Tiantian all the way back to the armory shop, and seeing that no one was chasing behind him, Li Mu was a little relieved.
......
In a palatial hall, a woman sits on the upper seat of the main hall, with a graceful and luxurious temperament.
At this time, she was crossing Erlang's legs, caressing Dai's eyebrows with one hand, and asked, "Haven't you found it yet?"
"Back to the head of the family, we have found Li Mu's residence, but we haven't seen him appear for a long time, I have sent someone to wait there for the rabbit, and as soon as Li Mu appears, we can capture him like lightning!" said an old man.
"Steward Ji!" the woman said unhappily, "You have this idea, Li Mu can't think of it?"
Steward Ji instantly sweated like rain and said, "I want to ...... Want to ......"
"If he hadn't thought you'd caught him a long time ago?" the woman's tone became eerie, "If you're trying to treat me with this attitude, I wouldn't mind being someone else as a butler." β
"The head of the house is angry! The head of the house is angry!" Steward Ji weakened his legs and knelt down on the ground, "This Li Mu is very cunning, not only his residence, but even Fenglou, we have arranged people, but we haven't seen him show up for a long time, and I have also sent someone to search the entire first floor, and I can't find him at all." β
"Rubbish!" the woman roared angrily, "Send me all the men of the Ji family to search shop by store!
"Yo yo yo, who made our great beauty Ji Meiru unhappy, she will kill someone when she opens her mouth and closes her mouth!" Huo Zhengqi pushed open the door of the main hall and laughed loudly.
"Are you coming in to my door now, and you won't pass through or knock?" Ji Meiru, who was sitting on the upper seat, said sharply.
"The situation is urgent, the situation is urgent. Huo Zhengqi apologized again and again.
After Ji Meiru glanced at Steward Ji, she asked, "What can be so urgent that I don't know the general situation!"
Huo Zhengqi raised his hand to stop Steward Ji and said, "About Li Mu!" said and turned his head and smiled at Steward Ji, "Steward Ji also stay, the little ancestor of my family in the province blames me again." β
When Steward Ji heard this, he hurriedly looked at Ji Meiru.
Ji Meiru patted the handrail and said, "Li Mu, what is the matter with Li Mu?"
Huo Zheng straightened his face and said, "Li Mu can't move now!"
"Why?"
"My little ancestor gave him the Huo family's jade plate, that is to say, my Huo family protected him. Huo Zhengqi said with a bitter face.
"Huo Zhengqi!" Ji Meiru gritted her teeth and said, "Do you want to start a war with my Ji family?"
When Huo Zhengqi heard this, his eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, and said, "How can it be...... It's just that my little ancestor cherishes his talent and can't bear to watch him die like this, so he protects him. But......" Huo Zhengqi said here, opened his eyes and said, "If you want to go to war, I have no opinion!"
"You!" Ji Meiru angrily pinched the handrail into powder, and after a while, she calmed down and said, "If it's just to protect him, you won't come here specifically, let's say, what's the matter." β
Huo Zhengqi narrowed his eyes again and said, "Hehehe, you are worthy of being the head of the family, and your brain is spinning fast." After Huo Zhengqi groaned for a while, he said, "Actually, it's not impossible for you to kill him, in the seventh layer of the duel, you have a lot of chances to kill him." β
"The seventh layer?" Ji Meiru didn't have a happy expression, and sneered, "I can't participate in the battle on the seventh layer, how can I kill him?"
"The head of the Ji family is really confused. Huo Zhengqi smiled and said, "Of course you can't touch him in the ring, but after the ring match, when the immeasurable god at the top of the tower rains down blessings, there are not so many rules." β
When Ji Meiru heard this, her eyes lit up and said, "Clever plan!"
"Hehehe, so, don't be impatient, when he goes with us to receive the blessings of the immeasurable gods, it will be the day when you will slash the enemy. In addition, I also have a suggestion, stop harassing Li Mu, my Huo family has promised him that he and his friends will not be threatened, and, in fact, if you don't make a move, your people really can't help it. β
"What do you mean by that?"
Literally. β
After Ji Meiru pondered for a while, she agreed, "Okay! Steward Ji, order all the people who are outside to return to the family, and this matter will be put on hold for the time being!"
When Steward Ji heard this, he said, "Obey." β
Watching Steward Ji leave, Huo Zhengqi smiled with satisfaction, "It's okay, I'll leave first." β
"Slow!" Ji Meiru said in a hurry, "When were you so kind and willing to fight with me?"
"No, no, don't misunderstand, it's just this one thing. Huo Zhengqi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "As for the reason...... It's the same reason as the head of the Ji family other than wanting revenge. β
"You think so too?" Ji Meiru raised her eyebrows.
"Who isn't, if it's hard to sleep and eat every day, it's better to be gentle first, and then cut the grass and eradicate the roots!"
"The master of the Huo family has a clever plan, Mei Ru is unforgettable, if this matter can be done, I am willing to give you half of the jade. β
"Then I will thank the head of the Ji family first, farewell!"
