When I returned to Deyue Tower, it was already late at night, and the little beggar's family was already very tired.

Li Mu originally wanted to ask for one more room, but since the guest rooms on the third floor were all full, he had no choice but to vacate his room for the little beggar's family to live in, and he and Fang Yan shared a room.

The prosperity of Deyue Tower made the little beggar's family a little confused, they had seen such a magnificent house there, and the man and the woman seemed restless in the room, and they were afraid that they would stain these precious homes.

However, the little beggar is a child's nature after all, and when he saw the soft mahogany bed, he pounced on it directly.

"You guys stay here now, and we'll send you out of the city when we go back, I'm afraid something big will happen in Lishui City. ”

Li Mu didn't hide anything from the family, and he openly and honestly told his guess about Lishui City.

"Engong, we understand that although we were both born in Lishui City, there is actually nothing worth remembering here, and we all listen to Engong's arrangement. ”

The honest man was wearing a robe given by Li Mu at this time, this was the first time he had worn such good clothes and lived in such a good house for decades, and his gratitude to Li Mu was already overflowing.

"Well, when the time comes, I will ask the garrison outside the city to send someone to send you to Qinglan City, and when you arrive, you will go directly to the Li family, and someone will arrange your life. ”

Li Mu thought for a moment, and directly arranged the future livelihood of the little beggar's family, and the man and the woman were also grateful to Dade and wanted to kneel, but Li Mu stopped them in time.

After settling down the hard-working family of three, Li Mu summoned Shang Yan to Lin Qingzhu's room, and the three of them still sat around and began to discuss the follow-up plan.

"So, this Gongsun Qi is really in collusion with that mysterious strength, what is their purpose?"

Li Mu quickly described the harvest of him and Fang Yan's night visit to the City Lord's Mansion tonight, and Lin Qingzhu Bingxue was smart and naturally quickly understood where the joints were.

"It's not clear for the time being, but if the strange things we encountered in the Wolong Mountains before, as well as the hunting and killing of me and Xiaoyu, were all at the hands of this force, I'm afraid their plans must be very big, and their methods will be very cruel. ”

Li Mu frowned, the strange mountain village in Wolong Mountain and the villagers who became the living dead are still vivid, plus the mysterious beast tamer who was killed by his luck, he always seems to unconsciously intersect with this mysterious black-robed organization.

Destiny?

Arrangements in the dark?

Li Mu didn't know, but no matter how strong his opponent was, he would never back down, and he would never let something like Nie Xiaoyu almost assassinate happen again.

Improving strength, and then protecting the people you cherish, this is Li Mu's way, pure, but extremely firm.

"Gongsun Qi himself is the strength of the Infant Transformation Realm, plus that mysterious black-robed man, at least he is also a great achievement of the Dan Realm, and even complete, and I don't know if there is only one black-robed person in the city, just the strength on paper now, we have no chance of winning. ”

Fang Yan's words made Li Mu and Lin Qingzhu fall into silence, the two of them entered the Dan Realm, and one of them became a Dacheng in the Dan Realm, and Gongsun Qi who wanted to shake the Infant Realm was undoubtedly a fool's dream.

Even if Li Mu had a simulation system, and Fang Yan had an ancient bloodline inheritance, it would not work, and the gap in a big realm could not be made up by talent and foreign objects at all.

Unless it is another immortal elixir and another heaven-level weapon for Fang Yan, it is still a bit possible, but these are obviously unrealistic things.

"How about we go to Brother Liu for help? If this Gongsun Qi really did something hurtful in the city, according to the laws of the empire, the local garrison has the right to send troops to take over the management of the city. ”

Just as Li Mu racked his brains and wanted to find a way to deal with it, Lin Qingzhu's prompt made him pause.

That's right, why do you have to keep thinking about solving problems by yourself, wouldn't it be better to be able to borrow your strength, and with your own judgment of Liu Long, you must not ignore the life and death of the people of Lishui City.

"Qingzhu, you're amazing!"

The excited Li Mu jumped up directly and gave Lin Qingzhu a big hug.

The strong chest hugged the girl tightly, making Lin Qingzhu, who had not yet reacted, suddenly at a loss, and her pretty face was full of redness, so she could only stiffen her body and let Li Mu hold her.

"No, I can't send troops. ”

In the imperial garrison camp outside Lishui City, at this time, there were still rows of soldiers holding torches on patrol duty, and in the green camp tent in the center of the camp, Li Mu and the three were sitting in front of the man in armor.

"Brother Liu, why is this? It is very likely that this Gongsun Qi is killing the people, and has even already done something to Sanxiu, although he doesn't know his purpose, but if he doesn't take action, many people will die. ”

Liu Long's refusal was completely unexpected by Li Mu, in his opinion, this is definitely Captain Liu's upright, jealous and hateful character, and with Liu Ruoying's relationship, he really can't think of any reason not to help himself.

"It's not that the eldest brother is unwilling to help you, do you know how big a matter it is for this imperial garrison to send troops to take over the power of the city? If it is not witnessed with your own eyes or there is conclusive evidence that the incumbent city lord has seriously violated the laws of the empire and caused great harm to the interests of the empire, no garrison is allowed to send troops. ”

"The garrison does have the power to cut the first and then play in an emergency, but when the time comes, I, the captain, will face inquiries from the Imperial Military Department and the Imperial Family, and I must give a reason that everyone agrees with, otherwise it will be dealt with by military law. ”

"The city lord system is the foundation of the Cangyun Empire, if you can replace the position of the city lord just because you guess the garrison, then the entire empire will not be in chaos, if this is the case, even your father must need to worry about it every day. ”

Liu Long understood Li Mu's feelings now, but the move to send troops was very important, and now Li Mu could provide too little information, and it could not prove that Gongsun Qi really colluded with a certain force and then killed the people, so after careful consideration, he could only refuse the request of the three young people in front of him.

"What should I do then? Now there are civilians and monks in Lishui City who are either missing or arrested every day, there must be a big conspiracy in this, and Gongsun Qi must have an ulterior motive in doing this. ”

Liu Long's words made Li Mu sober up, and now all his judgments about Gongsun Qi are indeed based on speculation, and there is no evidence, but how can he get evidence? Do you want to arrest Gongsun Qi and let him confess himself?

"Don't worry, I said I can't send troops, but I didn't say I can't help, Li Mu, how about lending me the cloak you said before, I'll go into the city with you, as long as I can catch Gongsun Qi's actions on innocent people, I can immediately send troops and take over Lishui City." ”

Seeing that Li Mu was a little depressed, Liu Long also smiled slightly and put forward his own suggestions.

"Really, that's great, but this Gongsun Qi is the strength of the Infant Transformation Realm, the two of us?"

Li Mu's eyes lit up at first, and then he thought of Gongsun Qi's strong strength, and suddenly became a little worried.

"Hahaha, you also underestimate your big brother Liu, do you think that I can really confront Gongsun Qi in Lishui City for several years just by virtue of my identity as a child of the Liu family?"

When Liu Long heard Li Mu's words, he laughed on the spot, and then saw that the momentum that he had originally hidden in his body suddenly opened up, and a majestic battle intent rose in an instant, and the huge pressure made Li Mu and the three of them instinctively run their own exercises.

But this terrifying pressure was not something that Li Mu and the others could resist at all, Fang Yan used the Blood God Technique to the extreme, and the blood qi on his body quickly turned into armor to cover his whole body, while Li Mu and Lin Qingzhu were directly pressed to the ground.

Fortunately, this fighting spirit was quickly taken back, and looking at the frightened three people in front of him, Liu Long was also a little embarrassed, as if he was pretending to be too fierce.

"Brother Liu, what kind of power is this, so domineering, has your strength also reached the realm of infants?"

Li Mu pulled Lin Qingzhu up from the ground and asked Liu Long curiously.

"I still have the strength of the consummation of the Dan Realm, and I have not broken through to the Transformation of the Infant, but what I have cultivated is the Liu Family's battle intent, which is the strength that can only be accumulated by fighting for life and death for a long time on the battlefield, and with this fighting intent, I can argue with Gongsun Qi, who is the entry of the Infant Transformation Realm. ”

Liu Long is only in his early twenties, and he will not let go of the opportunity to show off in front of his juniors.

But he Liu Long is indeed the most outstanding disciple of the Liu family in the cultivation of battle intent in the past hundred years, and he has cultivated battle intent to such a point at a young age, looking at the history of the Liu family, he is definitely a genius.

It was very windy outside the camp tent, but the discussion inside the camp was in full swing, and with Liu Long's joining, the problem of unequal strength between the two sides was finally solved.

A battle is about to start in Lishui City.

This is the first time that Li Mu has confronted that mysterious black-robed strength head-on, no longer as a prey, but as a hunter.
