Overlooking from the sky above Luoyang City, several black-clothed people scattered in the county office, fled in different directions, and after moving several courtyards, they gathered together from different directions, and a large plaque at the door showed the identity of the mansion, Dugu Mansion, a separate courtyard of Dugu Valve in Luoyang.

Luoyang City is not the power of the Dugu Valve, but as a gate valve, there is a place to settle in Luoyang City, which is the proper meaning of the question, and other gate valve families also do this. Of course, it is limited to one mansion, if it is opened in Luoyang City, it will involve the problem of territory, usually this kind of issue is more sensitive, and everyone will not easily cross the line.

Dugu Jiu jumped down from the room, tore off the face towel, and the other black-clothed people also fell down one after another, followed by Dugu Jiu, who was Wei Fu, who was good at light work. He has now become Dugu Jiu's confidant, and he can be regarded as a leader among the brocade guards.

"How many brothers did we fold?"

Wei Fu replied: "Two are dead, four are injured, and the other party is a master." ”

"Can you see the sect?"

"I can faintly see some, it seems that there is a deliberate concealment, and there are some dead soldiers among them." Wei Fu made an analysis, in fact, he only said half of it, after fighting with these people for a few moves, he knew where these people came from. In the heir hall, there is an organization dedicated to assassination, and he doesn't know the details, but he has only vaguely heard about it. After all, he is a member of the snake spirit, and although the snake spirit has a subordinate relationship with the heir hall, it is 'operated independently', and unless there is 'business dealings' between them, they have no account of each other.

But he couldn't tell it, so he pretended not to know. There was a faint uneasiness in his heart, he knew too well how powerful that woman was, if today's incident was instructed by her, only with the hands of Jinyiwei, he might not be able to protect Li Mu.

Dugu Jiu was silent for a while, and said, "Injured brother, heal well and receive the reward according to the rules." Dead brothers, double the bereavement. ”

"Xie Zhen's envoy."

"Let's disperse."

Dugu Jiu waved his hand and entered the house, Wei Fu and the others went to dispose of the corpses of their companions, and did not mention the doctor's diagnosis and treatment.

……

"Failed?"

Mrs. Lu was drawing a picture, and with a few strokes, the person on the drawing jumped onto the paper. Everyone's style is fully revealed between gestures. When she was young, the eldest lady of the Lu family was also a famous figure, and her name as a talented woman was much earlier than Wang Ou.

"The subordinates are incompetent, please punish the hall master!"

"You really deserve to be punished," Mrs. Lu put down the pen in her hand, and looked at the unfinished appearance of the person in the painting, who should be a teenager, but because he had not yet drawn his eyes, he could not tell his age.

"But not because of your incompetence." Mrs. Lu raised her hand, and the man in black who was kneeling on the ground stood up as if he had been pardoned, but he didn't dare to raise his head, let alone look at Mrs. Lu.

"I didn't expect that Jinyiwei was established only a few months ago, and it was able to attract so many good players. Especially the child of the Dugu family, the swordsmanship is far higher than I imagined. Today, there should be no more than five people who can match it in swordsmanship. It's not a surprise that you can't beat him. ”

"Please give your subordinates another chance, and you must cut off Li Mu's head and dedicate it to the hall master."

"No, one time is enough." Mrs. Lu smiled and said, "Just to say hello, I didn't really want to kill him." A new mission for you, to kill that piece of Ludor shit. ”

"Lu, Lu County Order?" The man in black was shocked, he didn't know why, Mrs. Lu actually wanted to kill her own family, if it was about kinship, this Lu County Order, or her cousin.

"What's the use of keeping the waste? It's just a loss of the Lu family's face. ”

After Mrs. Lu said this, she waved her hand, and the man in black didn't dare to say any more, so she bowed and took three steps back before she dared to turn around and leave. After the man in black left, a person came in with a plate of pastries, it was Mama Rong who was accompanying Mrs. Lu, Mama Rong saw that she was painting again, sighed in her heart, put the plate down, and said, "Miss, that child's eyebrows and eyes must look like you." ”

Mrs. Lu shook her head, still didn't put pen to paper, hesitated for a while, put it down again, and said, "I saw him in my dream, he looks like his father." ”

"Miss—"

"It's okay, Mama, don't worry." Mrs. Lu smiled, and most of her smile was sad. She stretched her waist and said, "I'm getting older, I'm really getting worse and worse, I've only been busy for a while, and I feel sleepy." Mama, I'll rest first, and I'll clean up my troubles. ”

"Miss is at her own convenience."

Seeing that Mrs. Lu was gone, Mama Rong cleaned up the table and rolled up the unfinished painting, like countless previous paintings without eyes, and placed it on a special shelf behind her.

……

In the county office, Li Mu woke up Su Dingfang and the others who were stunned, comforted the frightened Bai Qiaoqiao to sleep, and called Jin Chen to the next door.

"Do you still have the flame with you?"

"Hmm," Jin Chen said and put his hand into his arms and said, "Do you want it?" I'll give it to you. ”

"No, you don't." Li Mu held her hand and said, "I don't practice this martial arts, I'm asking you, how are you practicing?" ”

A hint of gloom flashed in Jin Chen's eyes, she thought that Li Mu hadn't forgiven her yet, but she didn't mention it again, and replied honestly: "I'm not as powerful as you, and now I've only practiced to the third level." ”

Li Mu remembered that the Holy Flame Order recorded that the mental method of the great shift of the universe, the first layer, with diligent practice, can be achieved in seven years. The second layer, those with high understanding, can be achieved in seven years, and those with poor understanding will have to be fourteen years, if they have not succeeded in twenty-one years, they can only stop at the second layer in this life, and must not cultivate the third layer, otherwise they will definitely go mad.

After the third floor, the fourth and fifth floors will progress much faster, and the sixth layer is another hurdle. Jin Chen didn't have a system in his body, and he could cross the gap between the second and third floors in such a short time, and he could already be regarded as a genius. In another three or five years, her internal strength will reach a terrible situation.

"I already know the mental method, but the body method is still much worse." After Li Mu calmly analyzed, he came to the conclusion that he returned the Holy Flame Order to Jin Chen, and explained to her his experience when he practiced the Great Shift, for Jin Chen, this is a very rare experience, and the inheritance of Zoroastrianism was like this before, but since the Holy Flame Order was lost, the inheritance of this experience has also been broken, if Jin Chen has someone to guide her, her progress will be faster.

"Are you really not going to practice again?" Jin Chen plucked up his courage and said, "Didn't you also say that the internal strength of the Great Shift of the Qiankun is an excellent superior mental method. You're better than me, and even if you kill yourself once, it's not hard to practice again, right? ”

"It's not difficult, but for me, it's not the most suitable exercise." Li Mu didn't explain too much, he just said that he had more suitable internal skills, so that Jin Chen could practice and strive to break through the third layer as soon as possible. After breaking through the third layer, she could practice and use the high-level body moves on the Holy Fire Order, and ordinary martial arts masters were not her opponents.

A master of internal strength, you can use internal breath instead of sleep, Li Mu quietly withdrew from the room after seeing Jin Chen settle down. came to the courtyard next to it, where he put his things, and he packed the luggage he brought to Luoyang City, most of which were still in the car, and he didn't unload the car.

Li Mu called Su Dingfang and asked him to bring a few people to unload his anvils and other things from the car. Li Mu fiddling with these things was already familiar, and they were quickly put together. In the middle of the night, whether it was the middle of the night or not, a fire was lit, and a piece of metal ingot, which was packed in a box, was thrown into the fire.

In order to make the metal ingots melt quickly, Li Mu also spent two thousand yuan to buy two copies of the 'forging catalyst' from the system store and threw them in. The furnace temperature rose instantly, and the metal ingots melted.

This piece of metal ingot was a small piece left when Li Mu was building armor for Li Chongyi. The alloy is mixed with meteorite and other substances, which is not easy to obtain. But the rest of the piece was too small, and it didn't seem to be enough to build anything, so Li Mu didn't use it and kept it in a box.

Encountering this group of killers today made Li Mu realize that he must have the ability to protect himself. Internal strength, he doesn't plan to practice others. After practicing the Great Shift, he has mastered some know-how, and he has a little more confidence in creating his own internal skills, but this move is not easy to do, he has no foundation, and it is too difficult to think of moves out of thin air.

But can a living person suffocate urine? If you can't be a melee, it's good to be a range! If the enemy can't get close, won't the problem be solved?

Ranged Hero ......

Li Mu thought of something, and he was going to build this thing now. After the financialization, under the hammer beating, it became an iron tire with a length of three inches and seven minutes, no more, no less, exactly twelve tires. Twelve iron tires changed their form under Li Mu's hammer, and finally took the shape of a flying knife.

Zila-

Two hours later, the sound of quenching sounded, and Li Mu scooped up the flying knife from the water. Holding it in his hand and looking at it, three inches and seven minutes, there is a 'Li' word at the hilt, he tried to pour his true qi into the flying knife, the tip of the knife faintly forced out a trace of blade gas, in the night, it was six or seven inches long, more than twice as long.

Li Mu turned around and looked at the eaves of the corridor dozens of meters away in the northwest.

"Go!"

With a soft shout, I didn't see how he made a move, and the flying knife in his hand had disappeared. In the night, the speed of the silver light flashed was almost unreachable to the naked eye, and then looked at the eaves of the corridor, there was an extra hole, and the flying knife thrown out by Li Mu actually penetrated the eaves pillar with a width of a foot between the electric light and flint, and nailed it to the rockery behind the back.

If this is a person, there must be an additional hole where you can see the light on both sides.

"Isn't that it?"

Li Mu concocted the same method and made twelve flying knives, each of which was equipped with a leather case.

"Xiao Li's flying knife reappears in the rivers and lakes, there are twelve at a time, Lao Tzu still doesn't believe it, you can come more than ten or twenty every time!"

Li Mu gritted his teeth, tied two holsters, one to his arm and one to his leg, and it was easy to take them after trying them, and smiled with satisfaction.

After extinguishing the fire, Li Mu returned to the house, Bai Qiaoqiao was already asleep, he was afraid that he would get into the quilt and bring a cold breeze to cool her, so he lay down beside her through the quilt. Turning sideways and looking at Bai Qiaoqiao falling asleep, Li Mu suddenly remembered the absurd thing that the three of them slept with when Li Zhien was there.

I don't know what happened to Zhien.

Li Mu muttered, closed his eyes, and saw the Dao Marker Stone representing Fat Da in the system, and he was hesitating in his heart, whether to go to Wang Ou. and Zhang Tianai, who is far away in Gaochang and waiting for news from him, owes these love debts, and I don't know if he will lose them in the end.

There is also the matter of Luoyang in front of him, without Li Shimin's protection, how to open up the situation in Luoyang City has become the primary problem he is currently facing. Luoyang City is different from Chang'an, there is no emperor here, there is no court, the constraints of power are not so big, and the established pattern has been formed here, if you want to break this situation, you must have a way to break the situation.

This is more of a headache.

When he was in Chang'an, there was imperial power at his head, and Li Mu relied on Li Shimin's protection, so he could do whatever he wanted, and he had the traction of interests, which made people rush to him. But now that he has arrived in Luoyang, the major forces in Luoyang were originally the forces that opposed him, and their posture was, I would rather not have interests than have anything to do with you Li Mu.

There are interests, but people don't want them, so what can they do?

Li Mu thought about it, if he didn't choose to bow his head, he could only make up his mind from Li Shimin. But whether it is bowing his head or making an idea from Li Shimin, it is not what Li Mu wants. There was no good deal, he bowed to Lu, Zheng, and Cui, there was no good deal, he turned back to find Li Shimin, and it seemed that he had no ability, so he had to think of a way to let them find themselves first.

Li Mu pondered until it was almost dawn before falling asleep, but he thought of two, but he still didn't know if he could do it. slept until noon, and when he woke up, Bai Qiaoqiao had already gotten up, Li Mu came out of the house, wanting to find something to eat, but heard someone talking in the yard, the voice was still a little familiar, he followed the sound and looked over, only to see a dignified son, chatting with his wife, and the two of them were still talking and laughing.

Li Muden was furious, he strode over, put a hand on the shoulders of this son, forcefully pulled back, and raised his hand to fight down. Seeing this, Bai Qiaoqiao hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Husband, don't beat him!" ”

"Oh, you're still protecting him?" Li Mu was even more angry, he didn't suspect that Bai Qiaoqiao had something to do with this son, but he simply saw someone talking and laughing with his wife, and he felt unhappy.

"He is—" Before Bai Qiaoqiao could speak, the boy shouted, "Teacher, look at who I am?" ”

"Teacher? I'm bah, how can Lao Tzu have an apprentice like you-" Li Mu was about to fight again, and suddenly his hand stopped in mid-air, he carefully looked at the young man in front of him, and vaguely saw a little familiarity between his eyebrows.

"You, you're Li Tai?"

The young boy laughed: "It's me, big brother, teacher, what's the matter, I don't recognize it, I lost weight successfully!" ”
