Chapter 409: The King of the County is invited
"Squeak. "When the iron door opened, the rust on the door shaft creaked.
In the corner where Li Mu and Shen Li were, looking at the faint light coming from outside the door, they actually felt a little dazzling. More than ten days have passed since the two of them stayed in the prison, and they have long since adapted to the dim environment in the prison. In the past ten days, Di Xi interrogated Li Mu and Shen Li many times, and it can be said that everything was used except for the execution. Even if they threaten Li Mu with Shen Li and threaten Shen Li with Li Mu, they can't get more news from them.
This greatly distressed Dixie, and he hesitated. If it weren't for Hu Yiyi often coming here to go around, he would have wanted to carry Dong Wen behind his back to punish Li Mu.
As for why it wasn't for Shen Li, this is also a strategy to test people's hearts. As a woman, Shen Li must not be able to withstand the toss. A woman is weak, and it must be unbearable to see her loved one being tortured in front of her. In this way, it is more effective than torturing her herself.
This method is still a heart-attacking strategy learned from the "Eighteen Strategies for Questioning and Trial" left by Zhu Dongyong, the leader of the ruling gang.
Li Mu and Shen Li were trapped in the prison, and in addition to the fact that the environment was too bad, life was rarely peaceful. Li Mu rarely let go of himself, didn't care about what he was doing in the future, and didn't worry about other things. just pays attention to the present, practices internal skills, accompanies Shen Li, and occasionally chats with the next-door neighbor across the iron wall.
Even if it is a prison sentence, it is far stronger for two people to bear it together than to face it alone. In this dimly lit prison, the two became more and more affectionate.
As soon as the door opened today, three people walked in from the outside. Walking in front was naturally Di Xi, and the person behind him was Zhuge Qin Demon!
As soon as Zhuge Qin Demon appeared, Li Mu instantly became nervous. He once watched the battle between Zhuge Qin Demon and Yue Yefeng from afar in Yacheng, and saw his miraculous piano skills and amazing martial arts. In addition, this person is a master stationed in the palace, no matter whether it is martial arts or identity, he is by no means an ordinary person. Why is he here?
"Mr. Zhuge , please see, I entertained them with delicious food and drink, without any humiliation. Dick introduced like a treasure.
Zhuge Qinmo raised his eyes and glanced at Li Mu and Shen Li, bowed slightly, and said, "Take it away." ”
"Who to take, where to go?" Li Mu protected Shen Li behind him.
Zhuge Qin Mo didn't answer Li Mu's words, he turned sideways, and a strange woman walked up. She first gave Li Mu a blessing, and then said calmly: "The prince invited Li Gongzi to the mansion to talk." ”
"Prince, Prince?" Li Mu was once again confused. He thought about it in his mind, and he didn't know when he would see a king, let alone how he could be worthy of the title of son. So he asked, "Are you making a mistake?"
Before the woman could reply, Di Xi laughed dryly and said, "The king of Dongshan County invited you to the mansion as a guest, and this matter cannot be faked. I'm getting more and more curious about you now. The fact that you were imprisoned actually provoked the king of Dongshan County to intercede for you. ”
"King of Dongshan County?" Hearing this name, Li Mu remembered an old incident. At that time, he escaped from the Martial Arts Academy and went to Lizhou with Yi Fan to find Yue Yefeng. On the way, they met a county lord who forcibly borrowed their carriage. Because of this incident, Li Mu and Yi Fan had a conflict with the county lord of Huanting. Fortunately, there was a kendo son, and Feng Xue Ling Tian Ling Feng mediated in the middle, and the matter was settled.
After that, Li Mu was in distress on the Mirror Lake, but Yi Fan was pulled by the women's forces led by the king of Dongshan County and the eldest lady of the Huang family in Lizhou to be a cow and a horse. After that, it was Yue Yefeng who came forward to stop Yi Fan, so as to prevent this beam from getting bigger and bigger.
Speaking of which, Li Mu's connection with the king of Dongshan County is only these. Li Mu didn't think that just with this, the king of Dongshan County could invite himself to his mansion to talk. Rao is Li Mu thought about it again and again, and he couldn't understand why there was such a thing.
However, the woman didn't seem to want to delay for too long, and she said, "Please also ask the prince to bathe and change his clothes, and follow me to see the prince." ”
Li Mu was unmoved, but asked rhetorically, "What about her?"
The woman smiled, "The prince only invited the son." The implication of this sentence is that the king of Dongshan County did not care about Shen Li.
Li Mu looked back at Shen Li, his eyes full of worry. On the day he first came to the prison, it was only half a day later, and Shen Li's mind almost collapsed. If she left by herself at this time, she would definitely not be able to bear it.
At this time, Shen Li smiled. The smile was very warm, but the scars on her face were squeezed together, so it looked a little awkward. She said to Li Mu: "You go, don't worry about me." ”
Li Mu heard her say this and knew that she didn't want to worry about herself. But how could he not be worried about such a look? He turned his head and asked the woman, "After meeting the prince, I will come back here, right?"
"Then you have to meet the prince before making a decision. The woman bowed her head.
When Li Mu heard this, he frowned. His own imprisonment was made by the Holy Lord, what kind of person is the King of Dongshan County, who can influence the will of the Holy Lord? Although the Holy Lord may no longer intend to investigate the matter of Shark Zhu, after all, he is still the remnant of the Li family's participation in the rebellion. If the saint can even forgive this matter, then Li Mu, the king of Dongshan County, must be on guard.
Seeing that Li Mu was still a little hesitant, Shen Li pushed Li Mu and said, "There is a chance to go out, why don't you hurry up?"
Li Mu looked at her and said, "I'm worried about you." ”
Shen Li smiled, "I'm here, I can't go anywhere, what are you worried about?"
Li Mu touched her hair and said, "Okay, I'm not worried." But you have to keep a good mood. ”
Shen Li nodded vigorously.
Di Xi on the side was already impatient, and he urged: "Okay, don't stage the drama of life and death, no one will reward you if it's not good-looking." Why are you still stunned? ”
So Li Mu got up and followed the three of them to the outside of the prison. The sunlight from the sky was dazzling, and Li Mu could feel the bright light when he closed his eyes. He took a deep breath, and his whole temperament changed. The gloomy life in the prison made Li Mu like a sword in his sheath, and now that he saw the sun, he finally began to shine brightly.
This breath is the breath of mixed yuan qigong. Between swallowing and spitting, Li Mu was already reborn.
Di Xi untied the dragon lock for Li Mu, and this lock was really magical. As long as it is tied to the body, it will continuously absorb the true qi. If it weren't for Li Mu's true qi, I am afraid it would be difficult to resist its suction power consumption that does not exist all the time.
After untying the chains, Li Mu followed the woman to a room, pushed open the door, and there were already maids ready to prepare clothes inside, waiting for Li Mu to take a bath. Li Mu had never seen such a battle, but he was calm. He said to the woman who followed him, "I don't know the girl's surname?"
The woman replied, "The little woman's name is Su Peony." ”
Li Mu saluted her and said, "Miss Su, please let these girls step down." ”
Su Shaoyao glanced at him and replied, "These few people are not in the eyes of the son?"
Li Mu waved his hand, "No, it's just that I'm not used to being served." If you are afraid that I will run away, then go outside and wait for me. ”
Su Shaoyao smiled: "Even so, then retreat." Childe, please take a bath and change clothes, if there is anything, greet us. With that, she asked all the maids to leave, and she was the last to close the door.
Outside the door, Zhuge Qin Demon stood there and said, "The dignified gentleman and the sword Su Peony, are you willing to pull down your body and pick up a kid?"
Hearing this, Su Shaoyao turned around with a smile and said, "Mr. Zhuge don't want to make fun of me. The little girl makes a living in the prince's mansion, so she naturally listens to the prince's words. She paused slightly, and then said, "What's more, a person like Mr. Zhuge actually came in person. That's what shocking it is. ”
"Oh, shouldn't I come?" asked Zhuge Qinmo rhetorically.
"No, no, no. Su Shaoyao flatly denied it, and she said very seriously, "The prince's biggest hobby is the strange people in the rivers and lakes. It is rumored that this Li Mu crossed the three realms in one day, which can be described as shocking the rivers and lakes. The prince has wanted to see him for a long time. ”
"Is this just the reason?" Zhuge Qin Demon's eyes stared at Su Shaoyao. The latter said calmly: "The prince has been boasting of being a person from the rivers and lakes for 20 years, and he is really happy to see the hunting. ”
Zhuge Qin Demon suddenly laughed, "Well, that's indeed the case. His Majesty succeeded to the throne, and the Prince divided the feuds. Only the king of Dongshan County stayed in Yacheng, probably because His Majesty and the prince cherished each other. ”
Su Shaoyao seemed to hear an unusual taste in his tone, but she didn't understand. She could only say: "The prince is of course the most loyal to His Majesty. His Majesty's birthday is still three months away, but the king of the county has already prepared a congratulatory gift. ”
"Oh?" Zhuge Qin Demon looked a little surprised, he sighed: "I don't know what kind of gift the prince will prepare for His Majesty, I think Your Majesty is also looking forward to it." ”
Su Shaoyao said, "The little girl doesn't know what the prince's gift is, but as long as the prince makes a move, I believe it will definitely satisfy His Majesty." ”
Zhuge Qinmo's eyes glanced at the room where Li Mu was, and said, "Yes, this is the best." ”
