Li Mu turned a deaf ear to the expulsion of the guy, he leaned over, walked to the counter, lowered his voice and asked, "Is there any pepper from the Western Regions?" I have money. ”

Li Mu said, raising his sleeves, and the corner of the iron plate was just exposed at the cuffs.

The man's eyes changed immediately. The impatience in his eyes vanished, and in his place was a solemn look.

"Yes, please upstairs."

The guy made a quick gesture.

Seeing this, Li Mu gave the guy a completely different gesture.

The guy raised an eyebrow, and the last trace of doubt in his heart disappeared.

"Ladies and gentlemen, wait a minute." After the man finished speaking, he took out a wooden sign from the back of the cabinet that said "closed", hung it on the door of the store, and quietly closed the door.

Seeing this, Li Mu finally removed his disguise, straightened up, followed the guy, and walked up the steps of the second floor.

On the second floor, the guy knocked on the door of one of the wings.

"Come in." The people in the room lowered their voices and said.

The guy pushed the door in and said in a low voice: "Third master, someone is here in Kyoto." ”

"What?" The woman who was called the third master by the guy suddenly burst out into a sharp female voice.

She didn't care about bandaging the wound on her arm, she came out directly from behind the screen, and when she saw Li Mu, her eyes narrowed.

"What's going on? Why did you get a new face? ”

Only then did Li Mu discover that the person who was called "Third Master" by his buddy turned out to be a woman, and she was also a very beautiful woman.

The "come in" she just said deliberately changed her voice, and even Li Mu didn't hear the sense of disobedience.

"I was entrusted by my wife and young lady to help find the whereabouts of the owner." Li Mu didn't know if this place had ears on the wall, and he didn't tell Xie Han's true identity.

Li Mu's vigilance and caution made the vigilance in the woman's eyes fade a little.

"Is there any proof?" she asked. ”

When Li Mu heard this, he completely showed the token in his hand.

The woman known as the "third master" took a deep breath.

The Xie family's "Blue Sea and Azure Azure" token has a total of three sides, one side of the Hou Ye, Mrs. Hou, and the current queen's mother. They are painted with unicorn patterns, vermilion bird patterns, and canopy patterns.

The token in the hand of this strange man was painted with a vermilion bird pattern, which was clearly the side of Mrs. Hou.

Yun Sanye hugged his fist at Li Mu and saluted.

"Third Master of Nu Jiayun, meet your distinguished guests. Don't know the distinguished guest's name? ”

This woman claimed to be a slave, but it was a man's greeting gift, which looked strange. But she breathed long and her eyes were shining, and at first glance she knew that she was a very powerful practitioner.

Li Mu didn't dare to underestimate this woman, he followed and reported to his family: "In Xia Li Mu, from Liaodong, he is a friend of Miss Guifu, and this trip is entrusted by Miss Guifu." ”

As soon as Li Mu's voice fell, Yun Sanye was stunned.

The Xie family's Xuantie Order has always been in the hands of the heads of successive generations.

However, before the previous head of the family, Xie Yi, passed away, he did not hand over the Xuantie Order in his hand to his eldest son Xie Guogong, but handed it over to his second son Xie Yu over the eldest son Xie Jin.

Xie Yu handed over the Xuantie Order to his son Xie Han again.

The Qilin Order and the Vermilion Bird Order have always been in the hands of the head of the family and the wife of the head of the family, and as for the Jianqi Order, they have always been enshrined in the ancestral shrine of the Xie family, and they don't even have a chance to see the light of day.

But Xie Han took the order out of the ancestral shrine and handed it to his sister, who is now the queen mother.

The man in front of him came from Liaodong, and he was able to avoid the eyes and ears to come to the Stone Forest Mansion, which showed that it was definitely not a thing in the pool, and he was deeply trusted by the queen's mother......

Yun Sanye suddenly didn't dare to think about it further.

"Li Gongzi, no, you said, Master Hou is missing."

Yun Sanye sat down at the table, and she directly told the identity of the owner, which was telling Li Mu in disguise that it was absolutely safe here.

"Haven't you found out the whereabouts of Master Hou yet?" Li Mu's face was solemn.

"It's been half a month, and there is no news from Hou Ye. I don't know if it's good or bad. Yun Sanye endured it so that he didn't let himself show a weak expression.

"Have you found out how Master Hou disappeared? Is there any movement in Funan Palace? Also, how many people did the Xie family keep here? ”

Li Mu threw out a series of questions

Yun Sanye didn't dare to slack off, and replied one by one: "The slave family is incompetent, and so far I haven't found out how Master Hou disappeared." As for the Xie family's manpower left in Funan, plus me and the guys in the store, there were twenty-one people in total, but the night before we ventured to the dungeon of the Funan Mansion to find someone, and now there are only seven people left. ”

After Yun Sanye finished speaking, her eyes were sour, and she blinked her eyes vigorously so that she didn't let herself lose her temper on the spot.

The battle the night before was so tragic. It was so tragic that Yun Sanye didn't dare to think about it at all. Fourteen of the brothers who had worked together did not escape.

Some of the people who were captured alive were obviously slightly injured, but in order not to say a word, they directly bit the poison sac hidden in their teeth and died on the spot.

"Do you have any contact with anyone from the imperial court? Maybe the people of the court know something. ”

After Li Mu came to Shilin Mansion, he found that the situation in Funan was far more dangerous than he expected.

If you can't find the whereabouts of Marquis Jingping, I'm afraid that he will be more than lucky.

When Yun Sanye heard this, her eyebrows were almost tied into a dead knot, and she asked unceremoniously: "Gongzi Li, you don't know what is the most taboo in the imperial court, right?" The dark line of the Xie family, once exposed, will be a fatal disaster! ”

"Of course I do." Li Mu had done his homework before he came, and he said: "The people who came with the court this time have a pair of brothers, named Zhao Ping and Zhao Xu, they are Qinglongwei's people, do you have any way to get in touch?" ”

Yun Sanye twisted his eyebrows and glanced at the guy in the store, and the eyes of the two people met, and there was deep suspicion in each other's eyes.

After a moment, Yun Sanye said in a strange manner: "Li Gongzi, if you hadn't taken out the Vermilion Bird Order, I would have wondered if you were an agent sent by the imperial court." ”

"As I said, I was entrusted by the lady of the house. I have no friendship with Master Hou, but Li can swear with his life that he will never do anything unfavorable to the Xie family, otherwise I will die without a place to be buried. ”

Hearing this, Yun Sanye's eyes narrowed instantly.

He just mocked him a few words, this Li Mu actually swore a poisonous oath directly, and when he mentioned Miss, the flash of amazement in his eyes immediately made Yun Sanye understand.

Yun Sanye is also a woman.

The man in front of him was able to spare his life for his young lady without asking for anything in return, just for a promise. It was Yun Sanye who had already been hardened by the world, and he still felt a little sad.

She bowed to Li Mu: "Li Gongzi, I spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and I hope that Li Gongzi will not be blamed." ”

"Third Master Yun is also loyal." Li Mu didn't take the woman's attitude to heart, he directly bypassed the topic.

"Zhao Ping and Zhao Xu's boss is a deputy commander of Qinglongwei. The young lady and the deputy commander have an old relationship. For the sake of the face of the deputy commander, if you want to find out the whereabouts of the Hou Ye, the Zhao brothers will not embarrass you. ”

After Li Mu finished speaking, he took out a stick holder from his sleeve, which contained a note two fingers wide.

He handed it to Yun Sanye and told him very seriously: "This note can't fall into anyone's hands, after the Zhao brothers read it, they must destroy it on the spot." If someone finds clues, the young lady will definitely be implicated. ”

Yun Sanye opened his mouth in surprise, and it took a while to completely close his mouth.

The eldest lady of the Xie family in her impression is a weak and proud woman, but such a weak woman can make the man in front of her and a deputy commander of the Qinglong Guard use it for her, and she is full of scheming and city government!

Thinking of the eldest lady who can make the wise and martial His Majesty brave the world's disapproval, marry his son's former fiancée, and from then on, the pepper room will be favored, and even Ze is the mother's family, and even the niece of the eldest lady can be made the county lord by His Majesty, what a grace this is!

In Yun Sanye's heart, he suddenly had a strong sense of admiration for the eldest lady.

Li Mu was good at perceiving people's hearts, and immediately saw what Yun Sanye was thinking.

The corners of his lips pursed into a straight line unhappily, and he said in a deep voice: "Put away your unreliable speculations, she is true and pure, affectionate and sexual, and it is not something you can judge arbitrarily." ”

Yun Sanye's mind was punctured, but she didn't mean to be angry, she glanced at Li Mu with a smile, and said slowly: "Li Gongzi, what I think in my head is not something you can control. You may be a little mistaken, though. The eldest lady is also my master, and for people like us, the master of the Xuantie Order is the one we swear allegiance to. ”

……

After Xie Han left Aunt Mei's house, he has been hiding in the reeds by the river.

When it was getting dark and all the villagers walking on the road had gone home, Xie Han carefully and cautiously got out of the reeds and went around the village on a dirt road.

Xie Han once pursued the Tuyuhun tribe and went deep into the hinterland of the desert, and he had already developed the ability to discern the direction in hundreds of battles.

He found the Big Dipper in the sky, and after discerning the direction, he kept walking westward while avoiding people.

Aunt Mei's family is poor, and Xie Han has relied on wild vegetables and gruel for the past few days.

Fortunately, he caught a few live fish by the river, but he didn't dare to burn the fire, so he could only eat them raw after removing the scales, and it was also by this bit of fish that he did not faint from hunger.

Xie Han didn't know how long he had walked, but a deep forest gradually appeared in front of him, blocking his way.

Xie Han's map has long been lost, but he has the ability to never forget, and with his excellent memory, Xie Han probably guessed where he was.

If you want to return to the Stone Forest Mansion, then this deep forest in front of you is the only way to go!

But he had no water bladders, no food, no fire, only a fireknife, and he was wounded on his left arm.

But the end of this deep forest does not know where it is, and all this is unknown.

Xie Han clenched his fists hard, the muscles on his hands were exposed, and the tense muscles even affected the wound on his left arm, and the painful feeling made Xie Han more sober: if he hadn't walked out of this deep forest before he was exhausted, then this would be his burial place.

No, maybe even your own bones will be taken by wild beasts!

Xie Han was like every moment of life and death he had experienced before. At this moment, he thought of his beloved wife, his sister in the palm of his hand, the eldest son and young son with immature shoulders, and the young daughter who was smart and clever but also arrogant and domineering.

If you have a case, leaving orphans and widows, and a sister in the deep palace, you will inevitably be torn to pieces by those vicious dogs!

Xie Han clenched his back molars, pondered for a moment, and walked into the deep forest without hesitation......

……

The Funan Royal Mansion is about to come in a storm.

Duan Yi, the king of Funan, sat on the main hall, his eyes were cold and ruthless, looking down at the guard commander kneeling in the center of the hall, and angrily reprimanded: "Waste! Xie Han was hit by an arrow in his left arm and chest, and now he is a tiger with a tooth extracted, but you can't even find a single injury, what a waste! ”

After Duan Yi finished speaking, he couldn't hold back any longer, he took out the long sword at his waist and slashed at the guard commander who was kneeling on the ground......

With a "poof", the sword sank into the flesh, and blood splashed Duan Yi's face.

There was a hint of bloodthirsty hideousness on his indistinguishable handsome face, and he drew his sword indifferently and swallowed his breath as he watched the commander of the guards.

Duan Yi killed people so fast that Ge Wenqing didn't even have time to stop them.

The middle-aged scribe looked at the corpse on the ground, and shouted weakly towards the door: "Someone, drag him out." ”

The hall was quickly cleaned. If it weren't for the fact that the blood on Duan Yi's face hadn't been wiped away, it would be as calm here as if nothing had happened.

"Lord Wang, Funan seems to be calm now, but in fact, there is an undercurrent. If you don't accept your temperament, you will only push those subordinates who are loyal to you to the side of the second son. ”

Ge Wenqing persuaded patiently.

Since the death of the county lord Duan Ning, the temperament of the king of Funan has become more and more violent day by day, and more than a dozen servants who served him have been dragged out, and some of the Duan family's clansmen have long been dissatisfied with Duan Yi.

Jingping Marquis Xie Han suddenly appeared in Funan, and after Ge Wenqing discovered Xie Han's whereabouts, he kept the news firmly covered, for fear that those clansmen would take advantage of this incident to make trouble.

Even a fool can guess that Marquis Jingping must have the imperial order to appear here.

King Funan went to the capital, which attracted His Majesty's jealousy, and the Duan family will definitely put this pot on the head of King Funan!

What's more, the prince's own sister was also involved in the assassination of the queen, which is equivalent to giving the second son a handle.

As soon as the prince returned to the palace and had not yet settled down, the second prince united with the elders of the Duan clan to make trouble and wanted to force the prince to hand over the military power.

The matter finally calmed down, and the matter of Jingping Hou came out again.

Ge Wenqing was already extremely difficult to support, Duan Yi, as the ruler of the palace, did not want to balance all parties and deal with the court, he only knew that he was angry with his subordinates and subordinates, not only did he not have the decisiveness and wisdom of being a family, but he was always dragging his feet.

In the past few days, Ge Wenqing has a deep suspicion of his former self and doubts his original judgment.

Ge Wenqing was even wondering if he had been blinded by lard, so he would think that King Funan was a hero who was expected to win the world!

"Mr. Ge, do you even look down on this king now?" Duan Yi's long and narrow handsome eyes narrowed dangerously, and he looked at Ge Wenqing coldly, the sharpness in his eyes seemed to split Ge Wenqing in half.

Ge Wenqing is proud of his talents, this Funan Palace, the only person who can make him truly respect is Nie Lao. In the past, Duan Yi was half counted, but now ......

Ge Wenqing sneered, and said-for-tat: "If the prince wants Ge to look up to you, you'd better come up with corresponding means!" Instead of always doing something superfluous! Also, if you take your subordinates to vent, even the second son will not be so incompetent! ”

"Presumptuous!" Duan Yi slapped his palm on the rosewood square table, and the force under his palm was extremely great, and a long gap opened in the solid wood table.

If it was an ordinary subordinate, he would have been frightened by the uncertain Duan Yi and begged for mercy.

Ge Wenqing's face did not change, he even smoothed the folds of his cuffs very calmly, and said casually: "Has the prince finished venting?" If you're done venting, it's time to get down to business. ”

"Ge Wenqing, don't think that this king won't dare to kill you!" Duan Yi's heart was furious.

Duan Yi once regarded Ge Wenqing as his right-hand man, but after his trip to the capital, Ge Wenqing disobeyed Duan Yi's orders, took matters into his own hands, and poisoned Duan Ning, the lord of Funan County.

Duan Yi has changed from being convinced of Ge Wenqing at the beginning to being half-convinced now, and even wondered several times whether Ge Wenqing had betrayed him, that is, in this suspicion again and again, there was no friendship left between the guests and the host, but only the resentment of killing his sister!

Ge Wenqing faced Duan Yi's threat, he stood up without changing his face, and there was even a faint smile on his elegant and clear face.

Ge Wenqing's eyes were calm, and his tone did not fluctuate at all, he said lightly: "The prince wants to kill or chop, Ge Mou listens to it." ”

In Duan Yi's view, Ge Wenqing's calm and waveless is more like a kind of ridicule, ridiculing his own lust!

Duan Yi couldn't help but draw his long sword, but when he stabbed at Ge Wenqing, Shengsheng reversed direction and slashed on the table next to him!

"Crackling-" With a sound, the table next to Ge Wenqing cracked, and for a while, the sawdust flew up, and even organic fragments collapsed to the top of Ge Wenqing's hair, but he was indifferent.

"Get out, get out of here!" Duan Yi jumped like thunder.

Ge Wenqing sneered, he saluted hastily in Duan Yi's direction, and said lightly: "Ge will come over when the prince calms down." ”

After saying that, he left without looking back!

After Ge Wenqing left, the guards guarding outside the door closed the door of the hall with a "pop".

Duan Yi looked at everything in the hall, and instantly surged wildly, lifting his sword and slashing at the table and chair in front of him......

The poor sword that was as sharp as clay turned into a firewood knife in Duan Yi's hand, and the sound of "thunderclap" sounded in the room, which was endless...... Through a thin wooden door, it was passed outside.

The two guards standing outside the door glanced at each other, and their bodies couldn't help but tremble.

The prince seems to be getting more and more terrifying!

I don't know when, the movement in the house finally ended.

Duan Yi pushed open the door, a few drops of blood were splashed on the hem of his robe, and the jade crown on his head was also crooked.

He didn't look at the two guards kneeling on the ground, and walked away in the direction of the main room.

As soon as Duan Yi entered the house, Mrs. Ni, who was quite favored by Duan Yi, greeted him as soon as possible.

Seeing Duan Yi's appearance, the sweet smile on Mrs. Ni's lips was suddenly put away, and the willow eyebrows that flew obliquely into the sideburns were slightly raised, and a touch of fierceness appeared in the phoenix's eyes.

"Why did the prince make such a mess of himself? Is it that the slave is disobedient and makes the prince angry? ”

As the concubine of King Funan, Mrs. Ni is not like other concubines, who are careful to curry favor in front of Duan Yi.

She never saluted in front of Duan Yi, and Duan Yi didn't care about her.

Even if Mrs. Ni said the words of concern for Duan Yi at the moment, she still raised her neck high, her gorgeous phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and she almost wrote the word "arrogant" on her face.

When Duan Yi was in front of Mrs. Ni, he finally collected a little anger in his heart.

He stretched out his long arms, took Madame Ni in his arms, and sniffed deeply at her snow neck.

"Wan'er, this king is going to kill Ge Wenqing one day sooner or later!"

"What nonsense is the prince talking about!" Mrs. Ni glared at Duan Yi angrily, her eyes swept around, and all the maidservants serving in the forced room lowered their heads.

"Come on, drag all these minions out and cut out their tongues." Mrs. Ni said lightly.

The maids didn't expect Mrs. Ni to be so ruthless, and they would cut out their tongues if they didn't agree. Immediately, they all trembled and knelt on the ground, looking at the king of Funan with begging eyes, hoping that the prince would be able to stop Mrs. Ni.

However, Duan Yi disappointed these maidservants.

He shouted at the guards who rushed into the house: "Bastard, didn't you hear Wan'er's orders!" ”

"Lord, spare your life......" The maids saw that they were in a catastrophe, and kept kowtowing on the ground, and the room was full of mourning.

Even the guards couldn't bear to see it.

Mrs. Ni frowned and scolded impatiently: "It's noisy, all of them are gagged and thrown into the firewood room for execution." ”

Mrs. Ni had the support of King Funan behind her, and the guards did not dare to disobey Mrs. Ni's order, so they hurriedly gagged the maids in the house and dragged them all out.

Seeing this, Mrs. Ni hooked her lips.

She gently broke away from Duan Yi's arm, got down from Duan Yi's thigh, closed the door of the room, returned to Duan Yi's side in a dignified manner, and said coquettishly: "Lord Wang, with Wan'er with you, do you still want to be angry for those irrelevant people?" ”

Mrs. Ni sat back in Duan Yi's arms, and a small hand as soft as a bone was like a snake, burrowing into Duan Yi's clothes, and continuing down his strong chest......

Mrs. Ni's red lips were smiling, a pair of phoenix eyes were watery, with endless flattery, Duan Yi "hissed", and somewhere under him jumped on Mrs. Ni's hand.

"Wan'er, didn't this king feed you this morning?" Duan Yi laughed wickedly while enjoying the grace of the beauty.

Mrs. Ni snorted, Sha Tian's voice was like a ripe golden loquat, she narrowed her phoenix eyes, glanced at Duan Yi squintedly, and her voice was full of anger: "Indecent!" ”

Duan Yi instantly softened his muscles and bones.

Looking at Mrs. Ni's face, which was seven points similar to Princess Fuqing, she unconsciously confided her true feelings: "Weichen should die, I offended Her Royal Highness the Princess, please ask Her Royal Highness the Princess to surrender." ”
