Chapter 356: Pretending

"It's so lively. Li Mu looked at the group in front of the Li family from afar. His current location is on the high slope southwest of the Li family's manor, which is a mountain forest, and it can be regarded as the Li family's sphere of influence. It turned out that there were also people patrolling here from time to time, but today it was a blessing to come to the door of the Sword Drawing Villa, and the Li family's defense force was greatly reduced.

Li Mu had thought of this when he asked Li Li Xi to send people to pay attention to the movements of the people in the Sword Drawing Villa. Although he wasn't sure about the attitude of Drawing Sword Villa, he felt that the people of Drawing Sword Villa came day and night, if it was just to come to the Li family and end the matter peacefully, then Drawing Sword Villa would be too generous.

When Li Mu was in Yacheng, he met Xu Hu, the young master of Drawing Sword Villa. His style of action is not so generous. There is a way to get a glimpse of the whole leopard. Xu Hu is the epitome of Drawing Sword Villa. Li Mu was eighty percent sure that the trip of Sword Drawing Villa would definitely not give up.

According to Li Qin's temperament, he must have prepared for the worst. So shrinking the defense is naturally the Li family's subconscious approach. In addition, there are people who draw their swords and draw their minds outside.

"That's the best chance I've ever dived. If it was darker, it would be perfect. Li Mu had this thought in his heart, and he had already taken action under his feet.

When Li Mu was in Lizhou, he once infiltrated Yanyan Villa. Speaking of which, the topography of Yanyan Villa is somewhat similar to the terrain of the Li family's manor. They are all built on the mountain, overlooking the houses in the city. Li Mu quietly approached the wall of the manor.

The dusky sunset in the west, it has let go of the last trace of nostalgia. The body has long sunk into Xichuan, and only a glimmer of brilliance that originally belonged to heaven and earth, with its last stubbornness, resists the overwhelming night. This is the last ray of light, the last glimpse left for the world.

This situation, in human terms, is six words, and it is really getting dark.

Li Mu thought about it, this time is about the same. He jumped and pulled against the wall. This time, he didn't act rashly, but looked more closely at the situation inside its walls. The experience of Yanyan Villa last time is still vivid, and I thought there was no one when I climbed over the wall. Actually, there's a dog down there. Such a surprise, Li Mu didn't want to suffer a second time.

Unlike the Yanyan Villa, within the walls of the Li family, it seems that the guest room is located. Li Mu borrowed the last bit of light to see a row of side rooms. And if you climb over the wall, you should be able to jump on the roof of this row of houses.

Li Mu thought so, and in fact he did it. He leaped to the rooftop. If you step on the tiles, if you are not careful, you will make a sound. Li Mu took a deep breath, raised his breath softly, and was cautious.

He crossed the roof, and the scene inside the manor was already in front of him. The darkening sky gave him cover, and it also obscured his vision. Li Mu only saw the shadow in front of him, and there seemed to be a few high pavilions. The most conspicuous is the four-storey pavilion on the higher ground to the west.

"These tall buildings. If someone is looking out from above during the day, it should be possible to control the entire manor. Li Mu had a plan in his heart. "It's dusk, and the Li family has begun to hold the lights. Under the light, even if you walk on the roof, you will probably be noticed. Is the safest place still under the eaves?"

Li Mu looked at the scale of the Li family's manor and scratched his head a little. "The most important thing is to find out where my mother is. ”

Mother Li Ying is the key to Li Mu's action. When he came to the Li family, his first task was, of course, to get back his Thunder Sword. The scale of the Li family's manor is so large, Li Mu is not familiar with it, and if he wants to get back the Thunder Sword, he has to ask his mother Li Ying to help. Secondly, he also wanted to come to see what his father Li Lie said, and the guards arranged by his mother Li Ying's side. and whether the heartless and crazy Xu Can will threaten his mother's safety.

Li Ying is strange to Li Mu, but with a faint concern. This concern was born after the mother and son hugged in the Li family's private prison that day.

Before coming to Shuzhou to meet Li Ying, the image of his mother has always been intertwined with two ambivalences of desire and hatred in his heart. The longing is naturally because Li Mu has lacked maternal love since he was a child, and disgust is the lingering feeling of being abandoned in his heart.

After confirming that Li Ying was his mother, Li Mu was more disgusted with this woman who abandoned herself and her father, and married another man and had a daughter. I feel that she is so sorry for herself and her father for doing this. Only when his father talked about his mother's hardships and forced helplessness, did Li Mu understand a little.

The ecstasy and guilt of her mother when she saw herself, Li Mu saw it in her eyes. And his father Li Lie also told Li Mu that after he fainted in the Guanyin Monastery, it was his mother Li Ying who threatened her life, so that the Li family gave the two fathers and sons a way to live. And the attitude of living and dying together made Li Qin unable to kill the two of them, so he could only choose to let go of these two hot potatoes. Even if it is an ordinary person, the grace of saving lives must be remembered. Not to mention his own mother.

"Where will it be?" Li Mu began to explore first. He took three or four steps on the roof, over a low wall, looked closely, and then fell to the ground. This is a small courtyard, Li Mu looked at the direction and continued to walk forward.

As soon as he walked out of this courtyard, he was greeted by two people who came to light the lamp. Li Mu clenched the short sword at his waist, and after thinking about it, his figure had already rushed out. Holding a short sword in his right hand, he knocked a subordinate unconscious with only a punch from his fist. Then Li Mu pulled another subordinate, covered his face with his left hand and put his sword with his right hand, and pressed him against the wall.

"If you want to live, then don't say anything. Otherwise, you will die in no time. Li Mu quietly let go of his hand, the man trembled, the two trembled, and it seemed that he couldn't even stand on his feet. I don't know if he understood Li Mu's threat, or if he was too scared, anyway, when Li Mu let go of his hand, he didn't shout loudly. In fact, he is not to blame, he is just a handyman, and he doesn't know martial arts, so he naturally takes his life as the first priority.

"I ask, you answer!" Li Mu didn't give him a chance to react, he asked directly: "Where is the Li family's treasury?"

The subordinate was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said, "Can't ...... No, I don't know about that. We're just working. ”

Li Mu slashed the short sword at his neck, and the man's face was even more frightened. "Where does the daughter of the Li family live? ”

"Yes, on the west side, go through the Meditation Pavilion, and then go through the corridor. ”

Hearing his answer, Li Mu suddenly became furious, "You're lying to me!" "I didn't, no, no." I didn't. Under the threat of Li Mu's sharp blade, a man's voice was already crying.

Li Mu's temptation was to see if he was lying to himself. After getting the result, he reached out and punched him unconscious. Then, Li Mu took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, and dragged the two subordinates to a hidden place in the corner of the small courtyard. He pulled off one of them's coat and put it on himself. Then he cut the coat of the other man into a rope and tied the two of them. In order to be afraid that they would wake up and call for help as soon as possible, Li Mu plugged the mouths of the two of them again. After dressing up like this, Li Mu also disguised himself as a subordinate of the Li family. He lifted the pole that had fallen aside, pretended to light the lamp, and walked westward as he went.

After turning two corners, Li Mu passed by a high pavilion, which was probably the Jingsi Pavilion just mentioned, and it sounded a little elegant when it sounded like a name, and I didn't know what was in this attic. However, this is not what Li Mu cares about, he just wants to find out where his mother Li Ying is now.

The people outside the Sword Drawing Villa don't know when they will leave. And once he is found in the Li family, then he will fall into an extremely dangerous situation. In short, everything has to be done quickly. Li Mu quickened his pace, never thinking that he had just crossed the door of the Jingsi Pavilion and collided with a young girl.

Through the light under the eaves, Li Mu saw the girl's face clearly. This girl is about the same age as Nuluo, and the expression on her face is very cold, which makes her originally have a bit of grace a little stiff. Li Mu vaguely remembered that he had also seen this girl in the Guanyin Zen Temple. Behind the two twin brothers, a lonely girl.

The girl was originally holding a stack of books in her hand, but now she was hit by Li Mu like this, and they all fell to the ground. Li Mu was still thinking about seeing the girl in the Guanyin Zen Temple, so he didn't react immediately. The girl's brows furrowed, revealing a little displeasure. But she crouched down and began to pick it up.

Li Mu hurriedly squatted down and said, "I'm sorry, Miss, I'm sorry." ”

The girl was stunned for a moment, and she asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?" Even her voice carried a hint of indifference.

Li Mu disguised and said: "Miss, the villain is afraid that he will miss the time of the lantern, so he is a little anxious." Didn't hurt Miss?"

The girl glanced back, then with a strange look, "You mean, you're going there to hold the lamp?" "yes, yes, it's completely dark now. Li Mu snorted, wanting to send this girl away as soon as possible.

The clinker girl's face was expressionless, but her voice was like frost, "That's the entrance to Lanzhi Garden, and it's also the inner courtyard of the family. The people who hold the lamps are all maids and maids, and if they are not summoned, a male servant is not allowed to enter. ”

The ease on Li Mu's original face disappeared instantly.

But the girl didn't finish speaking, "The clothes on your body say forty-three, I remember the appearance and name of all the servants of the Li family, this should be the clothes of the miscellaneous Feng Asan, and you don't seem to be him." The girl was blunt, saying that she had seen through the fact that Li Mu was pretending to be a subordinate.

This is not a good thing, Li Mu clenched the short sword and prepared to make a move.
