Chapter 664: It's Night
Li Mu spread out his hands and replied, "Nothing." If Bai Fang was careful at this time, he could see that there were still wisps of scraps of paper in Li Mu's hands like green smoke. Li Mu took advantage of Baiya to talk to Chongbaihu, read the note given to him by Meimei, and used his true qi to destroy the note.
The message conveyed on the paper is only six words, "Inner ghost, guard on duty." In other words, what Mei Mei is trying to convey is that there is something wrong with the guards.
Li Mu thought about it carefully, the Liu Chuan just now, and the ruler under his command. Liu Chuan's ambition to die left a deep impression on Li Mu. As for that ruler twilight, Li Mu had almost no impression, as if he didn't even remember his appearance. "Too ordinary, it seems to be an unusual. Li Mu muttered to himself.
Li Mu returned to his residence. White Fang made no progress, and could only use the simplest and most brutal method to order a thorough investigation. In this case, it is indeed overkill to let Li Mu do the investigation work. Although White Fang was already suspicious of Li Mu, on the surface, Li Mu's worship status still had to be maintained.
Back at his residence, Li Mu learned that Tang Zhao had taken Wang Xiao to the auction house to continue searching for the ore needed. After all, Li Mu also agreed to him at the beginning, and he might have to pit him in the future, so he waved his hand very generously and gave Wang Xiao a high enough amount.
As for Bei Miao, in addition to learning from Tang Zhao, Li Mu also had another task assigned to him. That is to go to the trading shop and get acquainted. Li Mu found out last time that there were all kinds of people from all over the world gathered in the trading workshop, and many of them were outstanding. For example, the Zhang family who sold swords and thirteen swords that Li Mu met as soon as he entered the city. These people may not be very high in martial arts, but in what they are good at, they are really remarkable. If Li Mu wants to have his own power in Eastern Chu City, then talent is indispensable.
Li Mu himself waited for the evening with nothing to do, and the night gradually deepened, but Li Mu did not hug Shen Li to sleep. He changed into a night suit and hung a long knife from the trading shop around his waist. In order to hide his figure, and the long knife was to hide his identity, he was going to go to Ningfu for a walk.
The message conveyed by Mei Mei pointed directly at the guards in the Ning family's mansion, and Li Mu disguised himself as an assassin and just went to test it.
This move is not because Li Mu is warm-hearted, but because Li Mu has bad intentions.
First, in the matter of the Ning family, if the murderer is not found, then Li Mu dares to assert that there will definitely be a third deceased. Now it's Ning Wei, Ning Pass, and the next one, maybe it's Ning Tao. As soon as these three people die, the position of the head of the Ning family will be vacant, and there will definitely be chaos. And if the Ning family is in chaos, then it will inevitably weaken. In Li Mu's plan, whether it is the Ning family, the Chu family, or the white teeth, they all have to be removed. However, this has to be according to Li Mu's rhythm, in other words, this time has to be in Li Mu's hands. Li Mu wants to eliminate uncertain factors.
Second, at this moment, the Ning family is in a hurry, and Li Mu, an assassin, takes a trip, and the water is even more mixed. Li Mu could even be a little unscrupulous, let himself be unfortunate and be captured, and let the Ning family discover his identity. At that time, his rhetoric during the day will play a role, and it will not be difficult to get out. But with Ning Tao's current temperament, there will definitely be doubts. According to Li Mu's observation in the past few days, there are different ideas between Baiya and Ning Tao, Baiya wants to focus on a certain overall situation, and Ning Tao wants to find out the murderer of the Ning family's series of disasters. There has long been a gap between the two. What Li Mu has to do is to add another fire.
With such thoughts, Li Mu jumped onto the wall and blended into the night.
It's not the first time Li Mu has done this kind of thing, the last time he was in Yanyan Villa, he also sneaked in through the night. Compared with himself at that time, after his strength soared, he was even more proficient. He reined in all his true qi and suppressed his breath to reduce his chances of being discovered as much as possible.
The Ning family is very large, and compared to the real estate owned by the White Fang forces, the Ning family's piece is a large manor that is connected together. That's what a family is. Li Mu didn't know much about the detailed pattern of the Ning family. But he has been to Shengzhou Ning's house, and he has also been to Shuzhou's Li family, and he has lived in the palace for so long. For the layout and configuration of ordinary large estates, it is also clear to my brother.
Li Mu gently and skillfully climbed over the wall and fell into the shade of a certain attic. The moonlight tonight is not bright, and the dim environment is more suitable for Li Mu's actions. Standing on a high place and looking down, the manor is dotted with stars, and there are teams of torches in the dark. Li Mu counted it slightly, and there seemed to be a lot of torches. It seems that the Ning family has strengthened their defense because of Ning Wei's death. Patrolling at night, there are also more people than usual.
Li Mu thought for a moment and sneaked into the corner of a certain ring corridor. He stuck to the pillars of the corridor, waited for a group of guards to pass by, and took the last one away. It was a twenty-one or twelve-year-old young man, wearing the uniform of the Ning family guards, who was pressed to the ground by Li Mu. Li Mu's knife used to hide his identity was already on his neck.
Li Mu lowered his voice and said in an indifferent tone: "I ask, you answer, you only have one chance." It's up to you whether you live or die. ”
The guard's body froze there, and he didn't dare to move.
"Where is Liu Chuan?" asked Li Mu. The guard looked puzzled, but pointed in one direction. At this time, his colleagues who were patrolling the night in front also found that he had fallen behind and turned around. Li Mu didn't say a word, knocked him unconscious, and then hid to the side.
There were five guards on this night patrol, and the remaining four found the guards who had fallen to the ground and immediately became vigilant. They blew their whistles and called another group of guards. It seems that the successive murders and the heavy pressure of Ning Tao have made these guards frightened.
The guards probed that the man who fell to the ground was still breathing, and wanted to wake him up, but how could Li Mu, a black hand in the realm of gods, let him wake up so quickly?
So the guard was not awakened, he was still unconscious. Soon, the other guards carried him back. They didn't figure out what happened, so they had to report it truthfully. Li Mu followed the person who went to report the news, and easily found Liu Chuan, who was in charge of the guards.
Liu Chuan, as the head of the guards, has his own house. Since Ning Wei's death, Liu Chuan has come here every day to watch the night.
After listening to the report of his subordinates, Liu Chuan frowned, "Ma Ming, this kid has always been strong and strong, how could he suddenly faint? There must be something strange about this matter, you settle him down first and send someone to take care of him." Also, pay a little more attention to each team when they patrol the night. ”
"Yes. The guards took the order. Liu Chuan leaned back on the back of the seat, raising his head and not knowing what to think.
With a squeak, Liu Chuan heard that the door was opened again, and only when the person who came to report the news just now went and returned, "What's wrong?" As soon as these three words were spoken, Liu Chuan's pupils shrank.
A dark shadow had swaggered into his room.
