Chapter 343: Secret Talk
Li Mu and Li Lie were still in the cell, and the next moment the door suddenly opened.
He Bo walked in with two people. Li Mu has also seen these two people, it is Meng Tong who looks like a child and Wang Ze, the old man. Meng Tong was holding an iron cable in his hand, and looking at the flush on his face, he felt that this iron cable seemed to be very heavy.
Wang Ze smiled and said, "Li Mu, please come with us." ”
Before Li Mu could answer, Li Lie had already stood up and asked in a deep voice, "What do you want to do?"
Wang Ze raised his hands and said, "Don't get me wrong. It's just that the head of the house wants to talk to you. ”
"Hmm, what do you have to talk about with me?" Li Mu said the words in his heart.
Wang Ze didn't annoy him, "This is what the head of the family meant, and we don't know." ”
"What if I choose not to go?" Li Mu raised his head.
"There's a way for you to go. Whether you want it or not. Meng Tong probably couldn't get used to Li Mu's temper, so he directly threw the iron rope in his hand to the ground. With a "dang bang", the iron cable actually smashed the floor tiles. "Put this on, and then, come with us. ”
Li Mu looked at the iron cable, and then glanced at his father again, giving him a reassuring look. "Okay, I'll go with you. ”
Meng Tong still said, "Put this on." ”
Li Mu feigned anger and said, "I have already agreed to go with you, why do you insult me so much?"
Meng Tong picked up the iron rope from the ground with a cold face and unfolded it, it was a pair of handcuffs. He looked at Li Mu and said to Wang Ze, "You help me press him." ”
Wang Ze said: "This guy is not ordinary. Meng Tong urged: "He doesn't have a sword in his hand, you're afraid of him!"
"Okay, Li Mu, don't move. Wang Ze smiled and reached out to grab Li Mu's wrist. Li Mu glanced at the wide open door and honestly stretched out his hand. Although the door was open at this time, with Wang Ze, Meng Tong, and He Bo present, he had absolutely no chance to escape.
The handcuffs were handcuffed to his wrists, and Li Mu suddenly felt his arms sink. The weight of the wire handcuffs was beyond his imagination. He subconsciously used his true qi to contend with each other, so that he could barely lift it. No wonder Meng Tong had a difficult look on his face just now.
"Alright, let's go. The head of the house is waiting. Meng Tong pushed Li Mu, and Li Mu stepped out with difficulty. This is the first time Li Mu has walked out of this cell. He was poisoned and unconscious in the Guanyin Monastery and has been staying here since he woke up. Now stepping out of the door, Li Mu realized that the cell he was in was only one of the cells in this row. As far as the eye could see, there was a real prison.
"Setting up a private prison is a violation of the Great Law. Li Mu said very seriously. When he said this, Meng Tong and Wang Ze both laughed. Meng Tong seemed to have heard some funny joke, and just said: "Young man, young man in the end." ”
Li Mu saw them laughing at himself, but he was happy in his heart. Since stepping foot in the rivers and lakes, Li Mu has experienced so many things. His heart has surpassed his peers by too much. Li Mu came here, and since he woke up, only Li Ying has come to see it. The other members of the Li family had not yet come into contact with him, so he could completely hide his true personality and disguise himself with an impulsive personality that was more in line with a young man. That might make people let their guard down and find an escape opportunity.
Meng Tong and Wang Xue took Li Mu out of the Li family's private domain and came outside. It was dark outside, and lights were turned on everywhere inside the manor. The private domain of the Li family is hidden underground, and the entrance is switched and closed, behind a rockery. And through the rockery, you will come to a garden.
The flower beds in the garden had become bare, but in that small pool, there were still a few withered lotus trees, which showed a residual beauty of winter under the dark night.
The three of them walked through the garden door and came to a long corridor outside, and at the end of the corridor, there was a house with a shining light. The two took Li Mu to the door of the house, and Meng Tong asked Wang Xue to look at Li Mu and went up to knock on the door himself. After three knocks on the door, a man opened it.
Li Mu came to the room and found that it seemed to be a guest room. The man who opened the door told them to wait by the bed. Then, without knowing what the man was doing, the large bed in the guest room slowly lifted up, revealing a downward entrance.
Meng Tong pushed Li Mu and said, "Go down, the head of the family is waiting for you below." ”
Li Mu turned around and said, "What about you?"
When Meng Tong heard this, he shook his head. Very disgusted, he said, "Don't waste time. Let's go down. After speaking, he also pushed Li Mu. Li Mu leaned over and got in. The bed was put back in place.
Inside the entrance is a passage with a candle flickering in front of it. Li Mu followed the light, turned the corner, and found that this was a secret room. Tables and chairs are all available. Li Qin sat in his chair and seemed to have been waiting for a long time.
Seeing Li Mu coming, Li Qin's expression did not change. Although related by blood, Li Mu is not only his nephew, but also his own grandson. But Li Qin appeared very indifferent. All he said was, "Sit down." ”
Li Mu sat down and didn't speak.
The two of them sat in silence for a while. After all, it was Li Qin who spoke first, "What, don't you want to ask something?"
Li Mu replied, "What should I ask? I don't know you well. Li Qin saw that he was not disrespectful, and he was not annoyed, but continued to say with a cold face: "No need to pretend." I've been learning about you for a long time. If you were really a hairy boy who was outspoken, then you would have died a long time ago. ”
When Li Mu heard this, he was stunned. In this Jianghu, there is Tingfeng Xuan, that is, the head of the wind media. With the Li family's power and financial resources, it doesn't seem difficult to get their own news. And what Li Mu cares about now is how much Li Qin knows about himself. "How much do you know?"
Li Qin said seemingly indifferently: "You and your father are really the same, the bloodline of rebellion." At a young age, you were already wanted by the Political Affairs Hall. And he also helped Yue Yefeng snatch the Nanyang tribute. It is a felony to snatch tribute. ”
After listening to this, Li Mu smiled and said, "I heard my father say that you and my grandfather are brothers." Is there any difference between my bloodline and yours?"
Li Qin sneered: "It wasn't me who funded the rebellion back then. ”
"But have you stood up against it?" Li Mu raised his face. If you want to talk about the ability to lift the bar, he can learn a lot from Yi Fan.
Li Qin shook his head, "It seems that I overestimated you. ”
"Yes, I have such a small ability, and I have to give me such a big pair of handcuffs, which is indeed overestimating me. Li Mu raised his hand. After sitting down at this time, he could put his hands on his knees to slow down the consumption of true qi.
"Don't be presumptuous, when you do it in the Guanyin Zen Temple. I can see it. And your current attitude makes me feel the need to cuff you. Li Qin picked up the teapot on the table and poured himself a cup of tea.
Li Mu used the sword in his hand, and the strongest worship Qingyu in the face mansion said that this kid's moves were a little strange and could threaten him. This kid's strength has far exceeded the level of his peers. Judging from the information currently available, Li Mu didn't know martial arts a year ago, but he has reached this point a year later, which is really incredible.
The only explanation is that Li Tan has already taught him internal skills, and he just hasn't revealed it. And the body of gold and stone cultivated by his medicinal tea is also an example. It makes no sense that Li Tan only gave him medicinal tea to recuperate his golden stone body, but he didn't teach him martial arts.
To tell the truth, Li Qin actually had a somewhat outrageous, but reasonable idea in his heart. That is to pull Li Mu into the Li family. This idea lingered even more after Dou Yanshan came to the Li family.
It is a fact that there is no male in his lineage who can inherit the position of the head of the family, but he doesn't want Li Ling's lineage to inherit it. Because Li Ling's vein has Dou Xuan, and Dou Yanshan is strong, the Li family does not dare to provoke at will, what kind of relatives are eyeing him, and it is difficult to say whether the Li family's family business can be passed on safely. More importantly, he didn't want to give his hard-earned family business to others.
Although Li Mu was the remnant of the former big house, he was born to his daughter after all. The general blood in his body comes from himself. In terms of blood, he is still a child of his own lineage.
The reason why Li Qin originally hated Li Mu was largely due to Li Tan's relationship. He hated Li Tan for deceiving his daughter, and even more hated him for taking away Li Li's family. Therefore, even if he knew that his daughter had a son, he still didn't want to admit him in his heart. Now, under the persecution of the situation, he also flashed the idea of letting Li Mulai inherit the bloodline of the Li family.
However, this is also just an idea. Let's not mention that Li Mu is now a wanted criminal in the imperial court, let's just say that his father implicated in the old rebellion case, and he can't escape Zhu Lian.
Taking a step back, even if Li Qin's hands and eyes are all over the sky, he spends a lot of effort to help Li Mu wash his name. But Li Mu grew up under Li Tan's teaching, and he obviously didn't have a sense of belonging to the Li family. Maybe he hates the Li family even more, if this is the case, the Li family will be handed over to Li Mu, and it will be over.
So it didn't take long for this idea to be directly vetoed by Li Qin.
Kill or not kill, use or not, now there is only one way.
"Alright, I'm too lazy to argue with you. I came to you to tell you. I'm going to let you go. Li Chin finally got to the point.
Li Mu was a little shocked, and he said, "Hmm, please repeat it." ”
"Heh, little rabbit, now you finally use the word please?" Li Qin sneered, but still repeated one side. "I'm going to let you go. But ......"
"Oh, so there's a but. Li Mu didn't let it go at all.
Li Qin continued: "However, it is not so casual to let go. ”
