Compared with Ling Hu Chong's serious internal injury, Ren Yingying's small injury, Li Mu didn't look at it at all. It didn't take much effort, Li Mu kept his promise and healed Ren Yingying's internal injuries.

Sending away Linghu Chong and Ren Yingying, Li Mu took Ping Yizhi and others to the capital as soon as possible, because Jinyiwei came with news: Cao Zhengchun, the governor of Dongchang, had plotted to usurp the throne and had been killed by the Iron Courage Shenhou.

The balance of years was finally broken, and when Li Mu met the emperor overnight, he saw that this true son of heaven had a blue face, wearing a bright yellow nightgown, standing anxiously in front of the dragon bed.

"Wood, you're back! It's good to be back! ”

Seeing Li Mu coming in, the emperor first sent away the eunuchs and palace maids, and then closed the door of the dormitory, then sat back on the dragon bed and sighed helplessly, and said, "You heard about it on the road, Cao Zhengchun's rebellion." ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen heard about it. However, I'm afraid that the emperor is worried about someone else now! ”

Cao Zhengchun is also a eunuch, at most he is in power, and if he wants a eunuch to usurp the throne, who will obey him? Knowing that the emperor was insincere, Li Mu simply asked bluntly.

"Humph! Wood, you weren't here this morning, didn't you see that Zhu ignoring the arrogance? In front of me, he dared to call himself 'this king', and he turned his back to me when he spoke, and I think he is not far from rebellion. ”

Cao Zhengchun is dead, and this Zhu is much more emboldened, and even the emperor can ignore it. Presumably, the emperor was fed up with Zhu Wu's idleness during the day, and it was not easy to see Li Mu, his own person, at this time, so that he could pour bitter water without any scruples.

"Zhu is indeed hateful, so what are you going to do, Your Majesty?"

Looking at the emperor's look of wanting to bite Zhu to death, Li Mu asked respectfully after listening to the emperor vent his stuffiness in his chest.

"Wood, I want you to succeed Cao Zhengchun, be promoted to the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and take charge of the East Factory. Didn't you recover 5,000 Jianghu people a few days ago? Coupled with the Wuyue Songshan faction, are you sure to deal with the Dragon Protector Villa that Zhu ignores? "The emperor may be really angry, and he directly promoted Li Mu to be the supreme person in charge of Jinyiwei, and he is bound to compete with Zhu Wuzhi.

However, Li Mu, who has been floating in the rivers and lakes for a long time, whether it is the intelligence of Jinyiwei or the records of the Li clan, the Dragon Protector Villa that Zhu ignores is definitely not a simple goods.

Although the emperor wants to support himself, he will create another Cao Zhengchun to fight with Zhu Wuzhi. But Li Mu knew the huge gap between the two, and after the anger in the emperor's heart gradually subsided, he said tactfully: "The emperor's mood can be understood by Weichen. Now that Cao Zhengchun is dead, Zhu Ignorance's Dragon Protector Villa has taken the opportunity to sit big. To say that he Zhu ignored and did not have the intention of rebellion, it was absolutely impossible.

However, although Weichen also wants to help the emperor get rid of the Dragon Guardian Villa, our current strength is still very weak. Even with your support, it will be difficult for us to confront the Dragon Guardian Villa, so this matter needs to be considered in the long run. ”

"Think long-term? How to think in the long run? Are you afraid of wood, and are you afraid of Zhu ignoring this old thief? Even Li Mu, a confidant, said that the Dragon Protector Villa was difficult to fight, and the emperor said angrily again.

"Your Majesty, please stop your anger! Weichen is not afraid of him Zhu ignored, but if we fight, we have to fight a prepared battle, knowing that we are weak, and now we rely on the momentary anger to fight to the death, but it is just an egg hitting a stone. ”

Seeing that the emperor's face was getting darker and darker, Li Mu, who did not dare to continue to grow the majesty of others, changed his words and said: "Zhu ignores, of course this old thief must be eliminated, but his current Dragon Guardian Villa is the time when the people's hearts are at their most united." In the entire Dragon Guardian Villa, no one knows what this Zhu ignores now, and he really thinks that he is loyal to the monarch and patriotic.

Therefore, on the one hand, we need to wait for him to show his true colors, and on the other hand, we need to divide the hearts of the people of his Dragon Protector Villa. When the ambition of this old thief and wolf is revealed, and the traitors leave, it is time for us to eradicate him in one fell swoop. ”

After listening to Li Mu's analysis, the emperor's restless heart slowly calmed down. Seeing that when he was sitting in this Dragon Protector Villa, only Li Mu was kneeling in front of his dragon bed in a regular manner, and the emperor said with great emotion: "Mu, I was anxious just now. Speak heavily, get up and speak! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Being tricked by his own uncle as a child, Li Mu can fully understand the emperor's grievances, so he continued to analyze: "Your Majesty, Weichen often walks around the rivers and lakes these days, although he has recovered the Songshan faction and the five thousand evil ways, but these rabble are probably not the opponents of the Dragon Guardian Villa.

Your Majesty, you also know that this Dragon Guardian Villa was originally created by the first emperor, and it has the 'Shang Fang Sword' and the 'Danshu Iron Coupon', which can behead the emperor and behead the ministers. is above all the imperial institutions, and the power is so great that it is now too big to be lost.

In secret, this Zhu ignored the fact that he had been training a private army, in addition to the four secret agents of the 'Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang' on the surface, there were also one hundred and eight elite disciples of Tiangang and Earth, and the strength of each of them was not much worse than that of the four secret agents. Coupled with the financial support of the world's richest man 13,000, this Zhu is not without hope of success if he wants to rebel immediately.

However, the reputation of rebellion is not good after all, and I am afraid that Zhu will not do it in a grand manner. Otherwise, he would immediately lose the support of 13,000 and the allegiance of the four secret agents. Therefore, Wei Chen estimates that this Zhu will definitely force the emperor to make mistakes and lose virtue in the future, and he will abolish the emperor or force you to settle in him.

However, it is precisely because of this that we have time to build up our strength. Since Zhu ignored us now and didn't take us seriously, he unscrupulously bullied the emperor. Your Majesty, at this time, you should endure the humiliation and burden, let him get carried away, thinking that the emperor has really given up resistance. ”

Maybe Li Mu's words worked, but the emperor did not insist that Li Mu must be promoted to the commander of the Jinyi Guard, or let Li Mu do the position of the pacification envoy first, so as to paralyze the Dragon Guardian Villa.

For more than ten days in a row, Li Mu was busy dealing with the backlog of copywriting in his own house, after all, he still had a lot of things on his hands. Although Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang share the burden, some major decisions still have to be made by Li Mu personally.

Just when the three of them were dealing with the documents overnight, Qu Yang, a thoughtful person, immediately noticed that there was someone outside the window, and hurriedly pulled Liu Zhengfeng to guard Li Mu's side, and said outside: "Which friend, since you are here, you don't have to hide your head and tail!" ”

"Elder Qu, it's been a long time!"

As soon as the words fell, Li Mu, who was sandwiched between Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yangbao, saw four people coming in the room, and it was actually Ling Hu Chong, Ren Yingying, and two middle-aged people in their forties.

The person who asked Qu Yang was a middle-aged man with white eyebrows, who was faintly the head of the four, and his voice was low and powerful, full of energy, and the whole room seemed to be buzzing.

After Qu Yang shouted "Sect Master" in shock, Li Mu knew who this guy was, and when he saw that the other party didn't do it immediately, he said calmly: "It turned out to be Mr. Ren, I've been looking up for a long time, I don't know what the old man is looking for?" ”
