Chapter 514: One for Three
Li Mu was led to a courtyard, and Zhuge Qin Mo asked him to wait here. Leave a phrase "Wait here." After that, he left. Li Mu carried the Thunder Sword and sat down in the courtyard. It was only now that Li Mu could finally rest assured.
Today's matter is over for the time being. But it's definitely not that simple. Everything was planned. The prison of the Ministry of Punishment was burned and the prisoners were released. Its purpose is obvious, this is to turn the originally clear Yacheng into a pool of muddy water. After that, this assassination of Yuanqiu, or rebellion. It's also extremely exciting.
Li Mu and the others learned about Xiao Qiche's rebellion from Di Xi's mouth, but other than that, others didn't know. Who would have thought that the Celestial Sect Master, who was the Eagle Dog of the Imperial Court, would be willing to be used by the Ten Palaces Yama? Therefore, Xiao Qiche broke out, which could be said to be beyond everyone's expectations.
It is precisely because Xiao Qiche and Di Xi are in charge of the prison together, Di Xi comes out of the stage, and Xiao Qiche is the deputy manager. There is such a big thing in the prison, is it reasonable for Xiao Qiche, the deputy director of the Jianghu Department of the Criminal Department, to report it in a hurry?
But if Xiao Qiche was asked to talk about the Criminal Department at the beginning, everyone would have to digest this shocking news first. Moreover, there will be many people who question whether such a thing really happened.
Arrange for Qin Guang and the three of them to spread the news of the Criminal Department in advance, so that people can know in advance. Then Xiao Qiche said it again, first, as mentioned above, it enhanced the degree of acceptance. The second is through the news that comes again and again, which makes people have to believe it.
Xiao Qiche's success made Chen Xiao fall into the hands of the Ten Palaces Yama, and he almost lost his life. As long as Chen Xiao was in his hands, the imperial court fell into a disadvantage, and was led by the nose of the Ten Palaces Yama.
Therefore, what Li Mu has done, both in public and private, is a great achievement. But if you really want to talk about meritorious deeds, it is still based on the premise that Chen Xiao knows how to repay his kindness. The emperor's heart is the most unfathomable. Li Mu couldn't say whether Chen Xiao would accept this situation.
Li Mu could only wait until Chen Xiao appeared, or not at all.
Time passed little by little, and the gate of the courtyard finally opened. An attendant walked in and said, "By Your Majesty's command, pass on Li Mu's visit." Li Mu immediately got up and went with the waiter.
The chamberlain led Li Mu to the largest courtyard in the garden, which was full of royal prestige. Walking into the house, Chen Xiao sat on the couch, his brows not yet stretched. Zhuge Qin Demon stood beside him, and with him, there was also the Gonggong Cao that Li Mu had seen in the palace.
"Sinner Li Mu, see the Holy Lord. Li Mu knelt down and saluted, respectful. Chen Xiao didn't respond for a while, and the room was quiet.
However, unlike when he was summoned to the palace, perhaps because of the experience of the last time, Li Mu was a little less restrained and more calm. Chen Xiao didn't say anything, he kept waiting.
After a while, Li Mu finally heard Chen Xiao's voice. "Get up. Li Mu got up according to his words and waited for Chen Xiao's next words.
"I didn't expect that it was you kid who saved me from danger. Chen Xiao was straight, still condescending as usual. "I let you destroy yourself, but I didn't expect it to be a foreshadowing for today. ”
"By divine grace. Li Mu said this unspeakably.
Chen Xiao snorted slightly, "It's not a grace to let you fend for yourself." But today you can receive a true grace from me. Say, you saved me today, what reward do you want?"
Hearing this, Li Mu's heart moved, this meat drama is finally here. "Ahem. Li Mu cleared his throat and said, "Holy Lord, Li Mu didn't dare to ask for anything else, he just wanted to ask the Holy Lord to spare the lives of the three people." ”
"Three, you kid is really a lion's mouth. Open your mouth and ask for three people?" Chen Xiao stared at Li Mu. Li Mu raised his head and said with a smile: "The life of the saint is related to the lives of trillions of people in the world. In exchange for the supreme supreme, three civilians. It's not a loss. ”
"Which three, what does each of them have to do with you?" Chen Xiao's words made Li Mu very happy, because since the emperor asked so, that is to say, he had already acquiesced to the fact that he could exchange the lives of the three people.
"To the Holy One, it is my father, my brother, and my wife. Li Mu bowed and saluted again.
When Chen Xiao heard this, he sneered, "Is it true that everyone in the family is sinners?"
Li Mu listened to his bad tone and didn't dare to speak well.
"Don't think I don't know, your father is Li Tan, the remnant of the Li family. As for the wife, I'm afraid it's the daughter of the anti-king, Chen Li? Hehe, the son of rebellion marries the daughter of the anti-king, but it is a good match. ”
"Chen Li?" Li Mu was stunned. Previously, when Chen Fusheng, the king of Dongshan County, revealed Shen Li's identity, Li Mu was not present. So he didn't react at once. "No, Shengshang, what is the daughter of the anti-king? Chen Li and Shen Li that the Shengshang said are the same person?"
Chen Xiao looked at Li Mu and said, "That's right, the Shen Li in your mouth is the daughter of Chen Tianyu, the anti-king king at the beginning." ”
Li Mu was speechless for a while, standing there. After a few moments, he whispered, "This can't be. ”
"Why not?" Chen Xiao asked rhetorically.
"This ......" Li Mu was speechless for a while. Because the news that Shen Li is the daughter of the anti-king is too shocking. In Li Mu's impression, Shen Li has always been a pessimistic girl. She's always been ordinary, and she's not good-looking. How could she be connected with the anti-king Chen Tianyu all of a sudden?
"Holy Lord, this must be something wrong. Shen Li is only one year older than me, but the anti-king died twenty-one years ago. Li Mu didn't know that King Yu did not die immediately after the rebellion, but escaped and ascended to heaven, and was executed six years later. Therefore, he felt that Shen Li's age and Chen Tianyu's time of death did not match.
Chen Xiao let out a long breath and shook his head, "There are some things that you don't need to understand. You only need to understand one thing, and there is nothing wrong with this. ”
"So, what does the Holy One mean?" Li Mu took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.
Chen Xiao raised his hand, "Let's talk about your brother first." As far as I know, the Li family's big house was just Li Tan, a fish that slipped through the net. If I can break out one more today, I will be very happy. ”
"I'm sorry, Holy One, for disappointing you. This brother is not my own brother, but a sworn brother. Li Mu replied, "It's just that this person shoulders the enmity of his parents." Shot at Qiangzhou Assassin Shi Lu Zhige. ”
Chen Xiao frowned, "The history of the Northern Assassin is much more expensive than the Southern State Pastoral Essence, and assassinating the history of the assassination of a state is a serious crime!"
"Heaven and earth are the king's teacher, and the parents are only under the saint. As a son of man, how can there be a reason not to repay the enmity of his parents?" Li Mu had already prepared a set of rhetoric.
Chen Xiao thought about it for a while, and finally relented: "You take your grace for others." Is it worth it?"
"The Holy Wisdom is for oneself. For them, I do. Li Mu replied.
"That's it, since I opened my mouth, I didn't agree to anything, it's too shameless. Chen Xiao said, "Your brother, as long as you don't seek revenge, it doesn't hurt if I forgive him." In addition, I will reward you with a completed royal mansion, and give you eight beauties and two thousand dollars in silver. Ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing in your lifetime. How?"
Chen Xiao hit this time, and he started to avoid the important and light. Leng Zizhou assassinated Lu Zhige, and the success was lost. Lu Zhige is living well, and Leng Zizhou will be pardoned if he is pardoned. But Li Tan and Shen Li are different. The identities of the two are destined to make Chen Xiao not want to let them go.
Chen Xiao also mixed the rivers and lakes in his early years, and his brotherly righteousness is still there. In the house, beauties, gold and silver, can be regarded as Chen Xiao's compensation for Li Mu in his heart.
But Li Mu didn't want those rewards, he just wanted his father Li Lie and Shen Li to survive and live together. Such a requirement is really not too high.
