Chapter 256: The Missing Father

"You say, did Uncle Li elope with that woman?" Zeng Xiaogou said mysteriously.

Li Mu raised his hand and gave Zeng Xiaopu a popping chestnut. "Puppy, did you say that about my father?"

"Ouch, I was wrong, am I wrong?" Zeng puppy rubbed his head. Li Mu gave him an angry look.

"Wood, where do you live now?" asked Zeng Xiaopu.

Li Mu sighed and said, "There is no fixed place to live, and the four seas are home." ”

"Well, I didn't say that. Since you have been wronged, why don't you go and tell the government? When I heard that something had happened to you, the neighbors were very worried. Zeng Xiaogou and Li Mu have played since they were children, and Zeng Xiaogou was a little worried about Li Mu's situation.

Li Mu patted his shoulder and said helplessly: "This is no longer a matter of no choice." ”

"There's no way?" Zeng Xiaopu was a little puzzled.

Li Mu sighed, "Forget it, you still don't have to know well." I have to go, you have to remember, don't tell people you've seen me. ”

"Yes. But you also have to be careful, a few days ago, there were a few outsiders in Dongchengfang, and I inquired about you. Also, the Ning family seems to be looking for you as well. Be careful. Zeng Xiaopu admonished.

"Outsiders, who are they, and the Ning family?"

"Well, I remember hearing from someone in the library that someone asked about you. I've only heard people say it's a few young people. I don't know who it is. As for the Ning family...... After Miss Ning came back, she sent someone to the teahouse. However, the teahouse has been closed. ”

"Well, I see. Li Mu turned around and prepared to leave.

"Huh. Wood. Zeng Xiaopu called Li Mu softly. Li Mu turned his head. Zeng Xiaopu said with some hesitation: "Although I shouldn't ask, but, you and Miss Ning, what happened?"

Li Mu's body stiffened and asked, "Hmm, why do you ask?"

"I heard that there is a son-in-law surnamed Wang who came to Ningfu and lived for several days. Zeng Xiaopu looked at Li Mu carefully.

The expression on Li Mu's face did not change, but his heart was turbulent. He was stunned for a moment, and then smiled at Zeng Xiaopu: "Don't worry, it's okay." I'm leaving. After speaking, Li Mu turned around and walked out of Fruit Lane.

The news from Uncle Yao Ling and Zeng Xiaogou made Li Mu's heart completely uncalm. Li Mu walked on the road, thinking about it as he walked.

His teahouse was closed, and his father disappeared mysteriously. This already gave Li Mu a little headache, plus the affairs of the Ning family and the affairs of Ning Zhitong. Everything was like a silk thread, entangled around Li Mu one by one.

"Knowing Tong's matter, the one surnamed Wang, I'm afraid it's Wang Dali. Could it be that they really have something?" Thinking of this, a nameless anger suddenly surged in Li Mu's heart. Although, before he came to Hidden Lotus County, he had already prepared for the worst. However, when he heard that Wang Dali had been living in Ning Mansion, he became very uncomfortable in his heart.

A lot of times, men are like that. This kind of self-possession, even if it is once owned, the involvement of others will make people very unhappy. That's what their possessiveness is doing.

But when this emotion trapped Li Mu, Li Mu slapped himself hard. The passers-by next to him all looked at him strangely, but Li Mu didn't care. Because he suddenly felt that he had this kind of emotion, which was a very inferior thing. So, he slapped himself hard.

Between himself, Ning Zhitong and Shen Li, Shen Li is a latecomer. His original goal was to marry Ning Zhitong. And everything Ning Zhitong did for herself was her good intentions. What he is doing now is completely failing Ning Zhitong.

Thinking of this, Li Mu's heart was suddenly full of remorse. This kind of remorse is more about Ning Zhitong's guilt and hatred for himself.

After Li Mu slapped him, he calmed down a little. He shook his head violently, suppressing the thoughts in his head.

What he can't figure out the most now is the news of his father Li Lie's sudden departure.

Uncle Yao Ling told Li Mu that his father Li Lie knew that he was wanted by the imperial court, and then he became a teahouse and went out to look for himself. But this doesn't match Zeng Xiaopu's words. Zeng Xiaopu just said that at the beginning of May, his father had already left. At that time, I should have just arrived in Shuzhou. At this point, the timing is not right.

Also, the destination is not right.

Li Mu had previously gone to participate in the summer test of the Martial Arts Academy. Father Li Lie also knows about this. Therefore, if something happens to you, then you should go to Shuzhou or Lanzhou to find it. However, Zeng Xiaogou said that the destination of his father and another woman was Southwest, Jianzhou or Shuzhou.

Based on his friendship with Zeng Xiaopu, Li Mu did not believe that Zeng Xiaopu would lie to him. Besides, even if Zeng Xiaopu wants to lie to himself, it will not do him any good.

"What are you doing in Jianzhou? No, there is Shuzhou...... Shuzhou ......" Li Mu suddenly clapped his palm. "Shuzhou!"

Li Mu recalled that when he met Xu Zhilei, Xu Zhilei used to exchange the information of the Li family for the shark pearl.

Ninglu Wang Li, the four major families. At the beginning, when there were four major families, it was Li Ning Wang Lu. The Li family is in Shuzhou. Shuzhou is mountainous and has a warm climate. It is most suitable for cultivating camellia. The Li family first started with tea.

In addition to the tea business, the Li family also has a family tradition, which is a family heirloom swordsmanship called the Aoba Sword Technique. With the strength of martial arts as a guarantee, the Li family's business is getting bigger and bigger.

It's a pity that twenty years ago, Yuwang Chen Tianyu rebelled. Li Jin, the head of the Li family at the time, bet on the wrong treasure. He bet the Li family on King Yu, so the Li family suffered a catastrophe after King Yu's defeat. In the end, the Li family gave up the Dafang lineage and exchanged money for the peace of the other branches. Li Qin, who was originally in the second room, inherited the position of the head of the Li family.

However, at the beginning, Dafang was killed by the imperial court on the surface, but under the efforts of the Li family's biggest slave, he still secretly left his blood. That bloodline is a man named Li Tan. Li Tan and Li Ying, the eldest daughter of the second room, are childhood sweethearts, and their feelings are gradually born. Because of Li Tan's bloodline identity, Li Qin, as the head of the family, heard about the private affair between the two, and was furious and broke up the two. Forcefully recruited Xu Can, the second son of Lingzhou Sword Villa, as his son-in-law for Li Ying.

But Li Tan actually led the slave Li Li family to make a big wedding banquet and forcibly took Li Ying away at the wedding banquet. It wasn't until three years later that Li Ying was found back by the Li family. Li Ying is still the eldest daughter of the Li family, and she gave birth to a daughter with Xu Can. It is rumored that Li Ying and Li Tan also have a child.

These things were all told to him by Xu Zhilei that night. Regarding the original situation, Li Mu felt that Xu Zhilei had no need to lie. The affairs of the Li family, if you want to verify, it should be easy to verify. It's just that Li Mu didn't verify it. Because from the bottom of his heart, he was a little resistant to this matter. Therefore, he has always kept these things in his heart and not thought about them.

However, now the rumors that his father went to Shuzhou reminded Li Mu of this incident again.

Li Mu remembered that there were four clues at that time that could connect him with the Li family: first, his father Li Lie would concoct the Li family's unique medicinal tea. Li Mu drank the medicinal tea he had drunk since he was a child from Xu Zhilei, and Xu Zhilei said that it was the Li family's unique medicinal tea.

Second, Li Mu has the special physique of the Li family - the body of gold and stone. When Li Mu was poisoned in Songyang City, the skin on his chest was snow-white. At that time, Tang Zhao of the Junziju and Yao Su of the Fufeng Pavilion both thought that they were the body of gold and stone.

Third, twenty years ago, King Yu rebelled, and a year later, Li Ying recruited trouble. Nineteen years minus three years is exactly six out of ten. According to Xu Zhilei, Li Mu's age and the time when his father Li Lie came to Shengzhou can be linked to the events of the Li family back then. At least in terms of timing.

Fourth, in Tianying Temple, Li Mu learned from Li Dukou, a son of the Li family, that the names of the descendants of the Li family of this generation have three points of water.

Xu Zhilei hinted to himself at that time that his father Li Lie was the Li Tan, and he was the son of Li Tan and Li Ying.

So Li Mu changed from the identity of the son of a teahouse owner to the bloodline of the Li family, one of the four major families at that time. Moreover, he is not ordinary, whether it is Li Jin's lineage or Li Qin's lineage, he is the eldest son of the Li family!

Li Mu learned about these from Xu Zhilei. Now, the behavior of his father Li Lie seems to prove this matter.

Li Lie has been running a teahouse in Shengzhou for 15 years, and what is he doing in the southwest of the Dayun border without saying hello? Although it is true that the Li family is engaged in the tea business, the purchase of his own teahouse is from the tea merchants in Shengzhou. If it's to buy goods or something, it doesn't make sense at all. Because, he even lost the teahouse.

If it's related to the tea business, then what does the teahouse do? You can close it for a while.

Could it be to raise money for the journey? However, Li Mu knew that his father had a sum of savings. Originally, it was for himself to marry a wife in the future. When Li Mu set off for Shuzhou, Ning Zhitong gave him enough coils, so Li Mu didn't take a penny from home. It stands to reason that the family's savings should be sufficient.

Who was the masked woman that Zeng Xiaogou saw? In my own impression, I had never seen a woman who was relatively close to her father. Her father's departure must have something to do with her.

Could it be that he eloped in response to Zeng Xiaopu's nonsense? No, no, no, if this is the case, why did Zeng Xiaogou hear the word revenge. Did he hear it wrong?

If you don't hear it wrong, then everything on your body, plus my father is going to the southwest, looking for a chance to take revenge. Then, it really confirmed the Li in his name, not an ordinary Li. It's the Li of Ninglu King Li!

Thinking of this, Li Mu couldn't wait to have a showdown with his father immediately and ask what was going on.

This thought flashed through Li Mu's mind, and he himself had returned to the original inn. As soon as he stepped into the door of the inn, Li Mu suddenly thought about it again. The Nine Hundred Sect, or the tomb of the Wu clan that Ling Jiuhao was looking for, was in Jianzhou.

Jianzhou is east of Shuzhou, and the two states are adjacent to each other.

So, do you have a chance to go to Shuzhou to find your father Li Lie and ask the reason?
