Chapter 229: A Kiss
Li Mu's movements froze there at that moment.
In this moment, countless thoughts turned in Li Mu's mind. Then, in a hoarse voice, he said, "Huh, you ask me?"
"Yes, who are you?" the man drew his sword.
Li Mu pointed to the room just now, then pointed to himself again, and said, "I came to the village to deliver a letter from Taiweiyuan." Now that I have been handed over to Lord Yanyuan, I naturally have to go back to rest. Li Mu said lightly, but his left hand was already holding the hilt of the sword. This is his wit, if he can't get through the tricks, he can only do it.
The man was skeptical, and looked Li Mu up and down for a moment.
Li Mu saw his attitude, so he said righteously: "What kind of expression do you have?"
The man was stunned.
"Are you still doubting me?" Li Mu's tone carried a hint of indignation.
The man pondered for a moment and asked, "Please also report the incision of my Star Hidden Palace." ”
Li Mu raised his eyebrows, and secretly said bad in his heart. Where would he know about the incision of the Star Hidden Palace? If he was blinded by any of them, he would inevitably be exposed. So Li Mu made up his mind and stumbled to the end. He continued: "You are indeed doubting me. I came here on the special order of Lord Yanyuan, and the letter I sent was at the desk of Lord Yanyuan, and I just came out of Lord Yanyuan's room, can you still doubt me?"
"No, I'm not suspicious, but Lord Yanyuan has explained that everything is careful. ”
"Not even more. Lord Yanyuan didn't doubt me, do you still need you to distinguish the authenticity?" Li Mu pushed him very aggressively, and then dropped a sentence, "Ziweiyuan's people, how can this be?" After speaking, he left angrily.
The man froze in place, looking at Li Mu's departing back. Li Mu's tough attitude made him question his doubts a little. Still, he felt that something was wrong, and he thought about it and walked towards the room where the lights were still on.
And Li Mu didn't stay at all, he seemed to be angry, in fact, only he knew how scared he was. He turned the wall and took a few deep breaths before he calmed down. He didn't know if his performance had worked, but he felt that this way of dealing with it was a bit inward. In short, I had to speed up my movements. He remembered the direction of the cellar he had learned before, and hurried away.
Yanyan Villa is not small, and Li Mu's current location is only in the west of the center. He bypassed the water pavilion and walked through the ring corridor to a relatively large courtyard. He also met a person from the Star Hidden Palace on the way, but he didn't approach, but changed directions, hid in a courtyard, and waited until the person left, and then he came out.
Seeing this person, Li Mu finally understood, their group of people in black were afraid that they were the ones who were guarding at night. There may not be many people guarding it, though. The number thirty said by the person Li Mu killed probably only refers to the person who was on duty in the villa tonight.
"In this way, there should be a lot of people in this Yanyan Villa. Li Mu thought back to the news he had heard just now when Yan Woqi got up. "Is Shangguan Yin going to deal with Yan Lying Up?" Li Mu thought to himself, he didn't know the grievances between Shangguan Yin and Yan Lying Up. But Yan Lie Qi caught Shen Li, which made Li Mu have no good impression of Yan Lie Up.
But when Li Mu thought of this, he suddenly patted his head.
Shangguan Yin revealed Shen Li's news to himself, and I am afraid he didn't have any good intentions. Now Li Mu can conclude that Shangguan Yin knew that Shen Li was in Yan Woqi's hands, but he only told Li Mu that Shen Li was in danger. He used this means to coerce Li Mu to help him do things, and after the matter was completed, he said that Shen Li was in Yanyan Villa. He never mentioned a word from beginning to end, Shen Li was in the hands of the Star Hidden Palace.
The reason here, Li Mu chewed carefully, and finally came back to a little taste. But here Li Mu has a series of problems. Why did Shangguan Yin reveal the news to him? Even if Shangguan Yin knew about the relationship between Li Mu and Shen Li, Li Mu would definitely come to the rescue, so did Shangguan Yin want Li Mu to deal with Yan Lie Up? How could he think that Li Mu could deal with Yan Lie Up?
With such a question, Li Mu walked quickly to the courtyard. The cellar should be right here.
What? Why do you say Li Mu is so sure?
For there were two guards standing in the courtyard, and beside them was a descending staircase that led to a swarthy hole. Now that you're here, you're definitely going to do it all the time. Li Mu clenched his fists and walked towards the two guards.
"On the orders of the Lord of the Wall, take the girl's blood. Li Mu showed an arrogant expression and said coldly.
The two guards looked at each other, and one of them said, "Why didn't the wall lord come here himself?
Li Mu smiled softly, "You guys...... Do you need to explain to you what the Lord is doing?, ridiculous!" He deliberately avoided the latter question, and walked over lightly.
The two guards exchanged a look, and then one of them stepped forward to stop Li Mu's footsteps. "Stop!"
"Huh, you still dare to stop me? Very good, very good. Li Mu stretched out his left hand and patted the guard's shoulder, the end of the word "you ......" had not yet fallen, and Li Mu's right hand had already pulled out the wind and sword like lightning.
This is the arc of drawing the sword, and it is one of the ten moves and nine swordsmanship, called the Jade Dragon for the king's death. It is the only sword drawing style among the ten strokes and nine swordsmanship.
The guard didn't have time to react before he was disemboweled.
The other guard was shocked, but Li Mu had already turned around and pounced on him. Changing his elbows and armpits, he only had time to reach out and pull out his short sword to meet him, but Li Mu was planning to move later, and he was already prepared.
The guard's short sword plunged deep into Li Mu's abdomen, and the Wind Reverse Sword in Li Mu's hand also pierced into his abdomen. Li Mu stirred the Wind Rebellion Sword vigorously, turning his internal organs into a mess.
"Ahem. Li Mu pushed away the guard's corpse and covered the wound in his abdomen. Although there is a shark bead, this wound can heal quickly, but that kind of pain is what Li Mu must bear.
Li Mu put away the Wind Rebellion Sword and looked around vigilantly. Luckily, their guards are scattered enough, so there are no other guards here. The only thing Li Mu is worried about now is that there are still people in the cellar. However, even if there were people, Li Mu could only fight with all his might.
Li Mu dragged the two corpses into the steps of the cellar, and then Li Mu carried the lantern and went down. Standing on the steps, Li Mu only felt that there was a gust of wind blowing from the cellar.
Li Mu finally came to the cellar. Li Mu had never been in prison, but Li Mu felt that the scene in front of him met all his imaginations of prison. Flickering candlelight reflected the rows of iron railings, neatly arranged on both sides of the cellar. But the cell separated by the bars was empty. Li Mu didn't see the figure of the guard in the cellar, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Mu held the wind against the sword and walked vigilantly in the cellar. Although it is a cellar, it is transparent inside and out, and there is a breeze blowing from time to time. But there was a strong smell of blood in the wind, which made Li Mu frown.
Li Mu walked forward, turned a corner, and then he saw a pool. The contents of this pool are not water, but blood. It's a pool of blood. And the smell of blood that Li Mu smelled came from this blood pool. In the center of the pool of blood, a wooden frame was erected. Above, a person was tied with a rope. The man was tied to a wooden frame, with many knife cuts on his hands and feet, and blood was still dripping.
"Tick tock. The sound of blood dripping into the pool of blood, sandwiched between the slight "beep" sound of the candle flame, seemed a little harsh.
Li Mu looked at the figure, and with just a glance, he had already recognized it. That's Shen Li.
He hurriedly flew up to the wooden frame. Shen Li's head hung down on his chest, his hair was scattered, and there was no sound. Seeing Shen Li become like this, Li Mu's heart suddenly tightened, and he called in a low voice: "Shen Li, Shen Li." ”
But Shen Li didn't respond.
Li Mu hurriedly drew his sword and cut off all the ropes that bound Shen Li. Shen Li lost the support of the rope and fell softly. Li Mu rubbed her in his arms. Different from the previous softness, Shen Li seemed to have lost a lot of weight.
Li Mu put one hand around her, and raised her head slightly with the other. I saw that Shen Li's was no longer as agile as it used to be. Her eyes were closed, her face was pale, and there was not a trace of blood. His lips were full of bitten marks.
"Shen Li, it's me, I'm Li Mu. I'm here to save you. Li Mu whispered in Shen Li's ear.
Shen Li's eyelids moved, and he slowly opened his eyes. Her godless eyes first fell on Li Mu's face, and then she smiled miserably and said weakly: "I...... I finally ...... Die...... Finish...... What?"
When Li Mu heard this, his heart was even more sour. Shen Li regarded his existence as a scene after death. And in the end, these two words are enough to reveal what kind of inhuman torture she has suffered.
"No, no, no. It's me...... It's me, I'm here to save you. Li Mu hugged Shen Li and hugged her into his arms.
Perhaps feeling Li Mu's heartbeat, Shen Li's eyes moved, and he regained a little brilliance. "Li Mu?"
"It's me, it's me. At this moment, Li Mu could only keep repeating these two words.
"Sure enough...... Be...... Dead, otherwise, how could it be...... Seeing you......" Shen Li wanted to reach out and touch Li Mu's cheek. Li Mu grabbed her hand and put it on his face.
Shen Li looked at him, and his face changed from unsure at the beginning to surprise. "Unexpectedly...... It's really ......" just said these words, her words were already choked, and tears kept falling from the corners of her eyes.
"I'm here, it's okay. Go, come home with me. Li Mu held Shen Li's hand tightly, and the current Shen Li really made him feel distressed.
Li Mu lowered his head and kissed Shen Li's lips. "I'm sorry, I won't abandon you again. ”
