The sound of chaotic footsteps was light and heavy, and when you heard it roughly, there were at least a dozen people.

Li Mu got up and opened the door, under the warm winter sun, the courtyard was full of people!

At the head was Master Huineng, the abbot of the White Horse Temple, who folded his hands at this time, lowered his eyebrows, and looked apologetic.

One step behind him were two middle-aged men in purple official robes, one of whom was full of black hair, with a righteous face and eyes as sharp as a sword, staring at him with a murderous face at this time!

The other has a kind face, but his eyes are cold, like a poisonous snake, without the slightest emotion.

Behind the two, Li Mu saw Leng Mei and Youlan, and the two women looked at themselves with heavy expressions, obviously this trip was not a small matter!

In addition to this, there were four officials wearing crimson official robes, as well as a large number of Nine Heavens Ying Yuan Shenfu monks wearing white cloaks.

The atmosphere in the courtyard was extremely solemn, and the doll followed Li Mu out, hiding behind Li Mu's legs with some fear.

"Amitabha." Huineng sighed and said, "Master Li, poor monk...... I'm sorry for you. ”

He also said last night that as long as he was there, no one could disturb Li Mu, but only one night later, he broke his promise.

He felt guilty in his heart, and he didn't dare to look directly at Li Mu.

"Master Huineng, don't say that, I'm just staying overnight for one night, touching the Buddha spirit of the White Horse Temple, how can I say that I can't stop it?" Li Mu didn't blame Huineng, after all, this matter had nothing to do with Huineng, and he was implicated in him!

Li Mu looked at the two middle-aged men in purple official robes and asked, "Who are these two?" ”

"This official Dali Temple Qing Zhou Sheren." The middle-aged man with cold eyes arched his hand and greeted lightly: "I've seen the Poetry Sword Fairy." ”

Dali Temple?

The murder case of the Mengyuan nobles?

Li Mu's heart was racing, and he said with a smile: "It turned out to be Lord Zhou, and the lower official was rude." ”

After saluting, Li Mu looked at the purple robe next to Zhou Sheren, and said with a smile: "In this way, is this Lord Mu Wentumu, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department?" ”

"It's this official!" Mu Wentu looked at Li Mu with a righteous face and was sacrosanct.

"I don't know what happened when the two adults came to find the lower officials?" Li Mu asked.

Mu Wentu said in a deep voice: "If people don't know, unless they don't do it!" Li Mu, what you have done yourself, you know it in your heart! ”

Li Mu raised his eyebrows, and said loudly: "Could it be that the lower official personally killed Lord Mu's wife and children in Trapped Deer Peak?" But the battle for the blessed land is a battle of life and death, Lord Mu's wife and children are mantis arms as cars, do not measure their own strength, and were beheaded by the lower officials, and they are also to blame, and I have nothing to do, Lord Mu, if you want to settle accounts after the autumn, I advise you to dispel this idea as soon as possible. ”

Mu Wentu was furious, and the killing intent in his eyes boiled, but he was suppressed almost instantly, and it was fleeting!

If Li Mu hadn't been staring, he wouldn't have noticed it at all!

Old fox!

"Presumptuous!"

"Li Mu, you are bold! You are dressed in the skin of a poetic sword fairy, but you secretly killed several people, you are simply a well-dressed beast! ”

"What nonsense to talk to him, just take it directly!"

The officials in scarlet robes pointed at Li Mu and scolded angrily.

"Enough!" Youlan took half a step forward, interrupted them in a condensed voice, and said, "I am on the orders of Your Majesty and Niangniang, I am asking Li Mu to go back to assist in the investigation, please pay attention to your words!" ”

"What else is there to investigate, who else can the murderer be besides him?"

"Not bad! I dare to vouch for the black veil on my head, the murderer must be in this shackle!! ”

The scarlet-robed officials were righteous.

Li Mu frowned slightly, and he noticed that one of the scarlet robes said that he had killed several people.

However, since he entered Beijing, he has killed two people.

One is the ghost pillar, and the whole emperor knows about this matter, and it is impossible for Dali Temple and the Criminal Department to blame themselves for this matter.

In addition to the ghost pillar, there is only one Mengyuan noble.

Then how can you say that you have killed several people?

Could it be ...... Framed?

"Li Mu! This official came to you this time, and it has nothing to do with the official's wife and children! At this time, Mu Wentulang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, regained his composure, opened his mouth calmly, and said: "So that you can be called and everyone will know!" As early as more than ten years ago, the official reconciled with the old woman of the Zhong family and broke off the relationship between husband and wife! As for his son, although he has the blood of the official on his body, he entered the Zixia Temple when he was a child, became a monk, and there is no father-son affection with the official! Therefore, in the future, you will not slander your own official with this matter! ”

"Lord Mu is really high-spirited, fair and selfless, and the officials admire him!" Li Mu sneered, and then asked: "It's just that I don't know who the lower officials killed, and they actually alarmed the Shangshu of the Criminal Department and the Dali Siqing, and even Your Majesty and Niangniang?" ”

"Your Majesty and Niangniang are still waiting in the palace, I'll stop talking nonsense here, let's go back first." Dali Temple Qing Zhou Sheren was a little impatient.

"Li Mu, what do you think?" Mu Wentu asked intimately.

If I refuse, will I not fulfill your wish?

Li Mu smiled: "The lower officials dare to disobey their orders?" ”

Before leaving, Li Mu asked Hui Neng to take care of the doll.

"Li Mu, where are you going?" The doll thought that Li Mu was going to leave herself at her parents' house, so she hurriedly came over and hugged his thigh, looking up at Li Mu with teary eyes.

"Aren't you hungry? I'm going to buy you roast duck and I'll be back soon. Li Mu said with a smile.

"It's really good~" Doll Daxi: "I want ten~"

"Amitabha." Hui Neng clasped his hands next to him.

When the doll saw it, it was shocked: It's not good, it's exposed!

She hurried into the hut on her short legs, and hurriedly closed the door.

Mu Wentu and Zhou Sheren didn't embarrass a little girl, their target was only Li Mu!

"Li Mu ......"

Out of the courtyard, Leng Mei and Youlan came to Li Mu's side and wanted to say something to him, but the scarlet-robed officials hurriedly approached and stopped them: "Li Mu is an important suspect in this case, two, even if you are people from Niangniang's side, please respect yourself!" ”

This obviously didn't want them to talk to Li Mu in advance.

Helpless, Youlan and Leng Mei could only retreat.

Coming to the gate of the White Horse Temple, Mu Wentu took out a jade order from his arms, handed it to Li Mu, and said to Li Mu in a serious voice: "With this jade order, you can be in the imperial capital and the sky, time is pressing, let's go against the wind." ”

Li Mu was stunned, Mu Wentu was not afraid of him running?

You must know that with his sword speed, there are not many human monks in the world who can catch up with him!

Or is it that Muwentu wants me to run away so that I can be convicted of my 'crime'?

Li Mu took the jade order, resolutely rose against the wind, followed Youlan and Leng Mei, and flew in the direction of the palace!

……

Quiet Mountain!

Early in the morning, thousands of people gathered at the foot of the mountain, and they came from all directions in the imperial capital, just to invite Li Mu out of the mountain to suppress the arrogance of Meng Yuan and the Xiongnu!

"Meng Yuan, Xiongnu Bahu, Shijian Immortal, please come out of the mountain!"

"Kneel down and ask the poetry sword fairy to come out of the mountain!!"

"Poetry and Sword Immortal don't come out, Nai Cangsheng He!!"

Thousands of people shouted at the foot of the mountain, and the sound of waves rushed to the top of the mountain!

"Ladies and gentlemen! Ladies and gentlemen! The sect master is really not on the mountain, after he went out last night, he didn't come back, everyone, calm down! Lin Aimin, who was on duty today, shouted at the foot of the mountain, but how could his voice alone be able to overpower the shouts of thousands of people?

On the mountainside, in the Hanlin Courtyard, the seven monsters stand in the mountain rocks, looking down on the ant-like crowd at the foot of the mountain.

"This time, Li Mu is finished."

"Yes, thanks to Dragon Tiger Mountain, he ranked him third on the ground list, otherwise, his opponent in the ring is the Five Realms of Earth Evil, so it's not one sword?"

"Now that he is in the ring, he will face at least the Ten Realms of Earth Evil Realm cultivators!"

"If you go to the ring, you will die, and if you don't go, you will be ruined, no matter what, it is impossible for him to stay in the Hanlin Academy anymore!"

"Anyway, why hasn't Li Mu come out yet?"

The seven people chatted happily and happily, and suddenly saw the mountain riding a fast horse galloping quickly, entering the crowd, and soon, the crowd was noisy, and the chaotic sound converged into a sound wave, so that people could not hear clearly.

It didn't take long for the crowd at the foot of the mountain to disperse.

"Why did you disperse?"

"What happened?"

The Seven Monsters hurriedly sent someone down the mountain to inquire.

Not long after, the people who sent out returned: "Seven deacons, something has happened!" Akuta is missing! ”

"Akuta?"

"But the one who openly challenged Li Mu in the ring in Qinglong Square last night?"

"He's missing at this time?"

"Wait! In this way, doesn't Li Mu have to go to the ring? ”

The seven monsters looked at each other.

……

Meanwhile.

Li Mu and his entourage walked against the wind, crossed the imperial capital, and after half an hour, finally came to Suzaku Street.

"Fall!" Mu Wentu, who was the leader, shouted.

Everyone was like a stream of goodness and fell towards Suzaku Street.

Li Mu looked down and found that at the end of Suzaku Street, outside the palace, there were two groups of people confronting each other, and the atmosphere was solemn, and it had reached the point of tension!

On one side was the tall and rugged Mengyuan people, there were more than a hundred people, all of them monks, and their powerful aura converged together, condensing like a substance and pressing towards the opposite side.

On the opposite side, there are the Imperial Forest Army of the Imperial Palace, they are wearing steel helmets and masks on their faces, although they don't say a word, their strong aura condenses into a wall, blocking the breath of the Mengyuan monks!

"That's what you did!" Mu Wentu glanced sideways at Li Mu, and in the depths of his eyes, a touch of mockery flashed away.

Even if you are famous, what is it?

What about amazing talent?

What about being ranked third in the list?

After all, it is impossible to escape death!

Li Mu sneered: "What's the matter, Meng Yuan rushed into the palace, could it be that he was still instructed by the lower officials?" ”

"I don't know it's coming, hum!" Mu Wentu's official robe flicked and strode forward.

Youlan and Leng Mei wanted to say something, but they couldn't find a chance at all!

Soon, they came to the gate of the palace.

The confrontation between the monks of Meng Yuan and the Imperial Forest Army did not stop because of their arrival.

Mu Wentu and the others didn't pay attention to these people, and after bypassing them, they went straight through the Wangxian Gate, and behind the gate, there was the Daqian Palace.

"Li Mu, return the jade order." Muwentu stretched out his hand.

Li Mu subconsciously looked at Youlan and Leng Mei, and when he saw them nodding, he handed over the jade order.

Then, the group walked through the spacious square and entered the main hall of the Tianyuan Palace!

in the main hall.

The little emperor Ji Xuan sat on the throne and was closing his eyes at the moment.

There was an extra phoenix chair beside him, and Qin Mengyao, the queen in a phoenix robe, sat upright, her beautiful face without the slightest smile, full of awe-inspiring and inviolable extravagance!

Especially those phoenix eyes, like a phoenix soaring for nine days, condescendingly looking down on the world!

There were a lot of people in the court at this time, and the Taifu Jiang Mingyuan, the Taishi Pang Weiran, the Taibao Gongsun Zhi, the Taiwei Xiao Mo, Situ Yang Xiu, Sikong Zhou Ziqiong, and even the Yan Wang Ji Han, the Chu Wang Ji Changqiu, and the Shu King Ji Hui were also there!

In addition, there are Yao Yan on the left, Jiang Yuange on the right, Zhang Ziyao on the ministry, Kong Yi on the etiquette department, and Lu Xiangsong on the military department!

There are also various squires and langzhong, there are all kinds of people, and there are at least forty people in purple scarlet robes!

And in addition to these high-ranking court giants, there is also a group of aliens standing in the main hall!

It was the Mengyuan mission headed by Tu Lie, and the Xiongnu mission that had always advanced and retreated with Mengyuan!

At the same time, in the center of the main hall, there are also two stretchers, on which there seems to be a person lying on it, covered with a white cloth, suspected to be a corpse!

When Li Mu and his entourage entered, the major giants of the court, as well as the people from the two major missions, looked over one after another, and their eyes all fell on Li Mu without exception.

"Your Majesty, Li Mu brings!" Mu Wentu strode forward and spoke respectfully.

The little emperor Ji Xuan slowly opened his eyes and looked at Li Mu expressionlessly.

Queen Qin Mengyao's phoenix eyes moved slightly, and her eyes were sad and joyful.

"Weichen Li Mu, I have seen Your Majesty, Niangniang." Li Mu bowed.

"No courtesy." Ji Xuan said.

His voice was a little hoarse, and he was in the midst of a voice change.

"You are Li Mu?" The third prince of Meng Yuan suddenly sneered: "You killed my Meng Yuan nobleman Agudamu?" ”

"Who are you?" Li Mu straightened up and asked.

"My name is Tu Lie, the third prince of the Mengyuan Ancient Kingdom!" Tulie said coldly.

"It turned out to be the third prince of Meng Yuan, disrespectful." Li Mu arched his hand perfunctorily and said, "I just don't know who Agudamu is in the mouth of the third prince?" I don't remember knowing this person! ”

"Mu Shangshu, come on!" Tulie sneered and looked at Mu Wentu.

Mu Wentu looked at Ji Xuan, and when Ji Xuan nodded, he looked at Li Mu and said, "Li Mu, the night two days ago, that is, the night you first arrived in the imperial capital, have you ever been to Baihu Street?" ”

Li Mu nodded: "I've been." ”

"Have you ever seen a second person!" Mu Wentu lifted the white cloth of the first stretcher, revealing a rugged man with a height of two meters.

This man's face turned pale, and he had been dead for a long time!

Li Mu stepped forward and glanced at it twice, shaking his head: "I haven't seen it." ”

He didn't lie, that night Agudamu attacked Li Mu from behind, and as a result, stealing chickens and rice did not lead to a loss, but Li Mu was shocked by the five evil spirits, so the two really never met!

"This official asks you again, have you ever seen this person, this person, but was killed by your own hands!!" Mu Wentu asked in a cold voice again, his voice faint, with a demagogic power.

Apparently some kind of secret method was used to make people tell the truth.

But Li Mu had already silently recited the Ice Heart Technique, and the ice mist in his mind was filled, and the golden heaven and earth were flowing all over his body, how could he be on his way?

"Xia Guan has never seen this person, let alone killed him!" Li Mu replied lightly.

"You're lying!" Suddenly furious: "You were the only one who appeared on that street at the same time as Agudamu that night!" Who else but you could kill him! Dare not do it, Da Qianshi Sword Immortal is nothing more than that!! ”

Li Mu laughed softly: "Why, you, a barbarian prince of Mengyuan, have heard my name?" ”

"Presumptuous! You!! Tu Lie's eyes were full of anger, and he couldn't wait to tear Li Mu alive on the spot!

It's really Li Mu's high-minded posture as a person in a big country facing a barbarian country is too annoying!

"Enough!" Ji Xuan shouted condescendingly: "Li Mu! You really didn't kill anyone?! ”

"Naturally......" Li Mu was just about to say no, when he suddenly felt a huge coercion surging from Ji Xuan's body, and in a trance, he seemed to see a golden divine dragon roaring towards him.

For a while, Li Mu only felt that he had been seen through by this divine dragon from the inside out, and there was nothing to hide from any lies!

Even the ice mist in his mind was instantly dispersed by the divine dragon dragon might!

Not good!!

Li Mu was startled, and was about to quickly recite the Ice Heart Technique, when suddenly a dragon groan came from his body, as if it were nothing.

This is...... Li Mu hurriedly looked inward, and saw that there were three white gases winding out from the depths of his body, and in an instant, the vast dragon power coming from Ji Xuan's body was actually offset by these three breaths in an instant!

Dragon Qi!

These are the three true dragon qi left to me by the ice dragon!!
