A few more people came in from the outside.
The leader seemed to be in his twenties. He had delicate eyebrows and a jade-like face. His facial features were regular and handsome. His eyebrows were like swords, and his eyes were like stars. He was tall and slender, and had a good appearance. He was wearing a light armor, with a long sword hanging at his waist. He looked quite heroic, but his face was full of anger. As soon as he came in, he stared at Li Mu with sharp eyes.
Obviously, the one who just spoke was this young man.
Behind him were four or five people, all in their twenties. They were dressed in different clothes, but all looked quite noble. At first glance, Li Mu could tell that they were from rich families. Judging from their strong aura, they were obviously martial arts experts.
Seeing those people coming in, Zheng Cunjian, the Heartless Scholar, shrunk to the corner, lowered his head, and did not say a word, as if he had melted into the darkness in the corner.
The young people who came in did not notice the man who looked like a servant.
Li Mu helped his mother to a shabby wooden chair in front of the hut and asked Grassy to serve Li Mu. Then, he turned around, glanced at the young man, and asked, "Who are you?"
"Bastard, you are talking nonsense and showing no respect for your elders." The handsome young man bellowed, "Kneel down and kowtow to admit your mistake."
Li Mu was speechless. "Who the hell do you think you are? Are you out of your mind? "
In fact, he had already guessed a little.
"This young man should be the eldest son of the scumbag magistrate, the son of his first wife before the scumbag magistrate made his fortune."
"It seems that what happened tonight must have something to do with the eldest son of the Li Family."
"You are so arrogant at such a young age. Brother Li is your half-brother. Come to greet him." Another young man in embroidered clothes shouted.
Li Mu chuckled and said, "I have a mother but no father. How can I have a half-brother?"
"Vile spawn, how dare you say such disrespectful words. You are simply inhumane." The handsome young man was enraged and shouted, "I even wanted to persuade my father to give you a chance. I didn't expect you to be so stubborn. I think your position as the county magistrate has come to an end."
Mother Li, who was at the side, already knew who had come when she heard this. She quickly stood up shakily and said, "It turns out that Brother Xiong has come. Mu just came back today and still doesn't know your identity. Please don't lower yourself to his level …" As she said this, she was about to bow and apologize.
Li Xiong snorted.
Li Mu held her up and said, "Mom, you don't have to bow down to this clown … He's just the son of an official. He's nothing. I can take care of him with one hand. Mom, you have to have some faith in me."
"Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter." Another young man burst into laughter. "He is indeed a bumpkin. How dare he say such overconfident words. Who in Chang 'an doesn't know the Eldest Young Master's fame? You are just a small county magistrate. How dare you be so arrogant. You are really a frog at the bottom of a well. You don't know the immensity of the sky and the earth. "
Li Mu snorted coldly and didn't want to talk nonsense with these sons of rich officials who felt good about themselves.
He directly put up three fingers and said, "Thirty breaths."
"What do you mean?" The young man was stunned.
Li Mu said, "Within thirty breaths, please stand outside the wall, don't pollute the air in the yard, and don't challenge my patience limit again and again. Otherwise …"
"Otherwise what?" A young man in brocade clothes sneered contemptuously.
Li Mu's figure moved, and he flashed like a ghost.
"Ah …"
Everyone didn't respond. They only felt that their eyes were dazzled, and then a scream sounded.
The young man who just spoke was thrown out like a broken sack. With a bang, he fell heavily outside the wall, splashed a cloud of dust, and couldn't get up for a long time.
"Otherwise … that's it." Li Mu stood in the same place as if he had not moved.
At this moment, the handsome young man Li Xiong and several other young partners looked at each other in dismay and took a deep breath.
They were pretentious and thought that they were the top group among the young generation of warriors in Chang 'an City. In ordinary days, they were arrogant in Chang' an City, and all the gangs and sects gave way to them. Even many famous masters were very polite to them. However, at the moment of lightning, none of them saw clearly how Li Mu did it.
"Now, I think you all understand … When you go out, help me to close the gate of the yard from outside. Thank you." Li Mu smiled.
In the eyes of Li Xiong and other young people, this smile was a little scary, and there was a strong provocation.
Li Xiong took a deep breath.
The expression on his face changed slightly, and his tone changed completely. He put on the image of an earnest elder brother and said, "Li Mu, don't make trouble. Father already knows that you have come to Chang 'an Mansion. He still has some expectations for you these years. Father can forgive the mistakes you made in those years. You go to the mansion with me and meet father."
Li Mu sighed and said, "Why can't you understand human language? There are still 20 breaths left. "
"It is you who are making trouble with me. Only a fool will make trouble with you."
"When you were young, father can forgive those naive things you did. As long as you go back with me and admit your mistakes to father, everything will be fine. After all, we are related by blood. Father will not be too harsh on you." Li Xiong showed a meaningful smile on his face and said, "I heard that you made a big trouble in Taibai County, and you also killed the deputy county magistrate and the Dianshi janitor of Taibai County without permission. You committed such a heinous crime, but father gave you a way out and didn't haggle with you. Otherwise, I'm afraid that your position as county magistrate has long been over. Don't be ungrateful."
Li Mu was almost speechless.
"Are you a fool?" He directly retorted and said, "Do I need his forgiveness? Who is he? You tell him to be a good magistrate and don't provoke me. Otherwise, his position as county magistrate will also come to an end. "
"Arrogant." The young man who had been targeting Li Mu was furious and said, "You are so arrogant. Li Mu, right? First Young Master is your half-brother. How noble his status is! He persuades you so kindly, which is completely for your own good. You are wild and untamed, and you say such arrogant words. You … "
Clap!
The sound of a slap interrupted his words.
"Ah …"
This young man, like the previous companion, flew out of the small courtyard and fell outside the wall. No one knew whether he was alive or dead.
"There are still 15 breaths left," Li Mu withdrew his palm and said lightly.
It was impossible to talk with this group of arrogant brothers, so it was more effective to fight directly.
"You … Have you had enough?" Li Xiong endured and said, "You don't think for yourself, but don't you think for your mother? If father gives you a chance, you can be the county magistrate. If you annoy father, you will lose everything in an instant and have to flee to the end of the world. Do you want your mother to wait for another eight years and suffer for eight years? How long can she live when she has cried herself blind? "
Li Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he simply ignored this guy.
Li Mu's mother pulled Li Mu's sleeve and wanted to say something. Grassy, the maid on the side, also looked at Li Mu worriedly.
In the view of these two women, although Li Xiong said shamelessly, it was true. If he annoyed Li Gang, the magistrate, it would be difficult for Li Mu to be the county magistrate. At that time, he would lose everything in an instant. Under the eaves, he had to lower his head. Young people should not be impulsive. But they did not persuade him, because they all knew the temper of "Li Mu". He dared to run away from home after three strikes. How stubborn he was. At this time, if they said anything, they were afraid to stimulate Li Mu's self-esteem after returning home in glory.
"Don't worry, I know what to do," Li Mu said to the two women.
After that, he turned back and said to Li Xiong and others, "There are five breaths left."
"You … Don't be stubborn." Li Xiong's face changed.
Several other young people were also angry. Not long ago, they were treated like this. A small county magistrate, did he really regard himself as a big shot? Here was Chang 'an City, not Taibai County.
"You don't know how to appreciate favors."
"Impulsive … Haha, you bring about your own destruction."
"Brother Li, let's go. A young man can't be taught. You don't have to be so kind to think for him. Let him wait to bear the anger of the magistrate."
Several young people said angrily.
The last person's words actually gave everyone a way out.
They had been frightened by Li Mu's ghost-like body movement. They came aggressively, but found that they were not Li Mu's opponent. So, they did not dare to really turn against him. They could only leave in this way, and did not admit that they were actually afraid of Li Mu.
Li Xiong's face changed again and again, and finally sighed and said, "Alas, Li Mu, I said so much for your own good. Unfortunately, you are stubborn. You are still young, and you don't know what's good for you. I don't blame you. Think about it yourself. Don't be happy for a moment, and then regret for a lifetime."
After saying that, he glanced at Li Du's mother and said, "As a mother, you're getting on in years. Although you're blind, you're not muddle-headed. You have to be smarter than a child. If you have the time, persuade him not to do things that overestimate himself."
Li Xiong's mother knew that these words were for her, so she quickly stood up again and nodded, wanting to make up for Li Mu.
However, Li Xiong completely ignored the apologetic and humble smile on the old woman's face.
He gritted his teeth and turned around, saying to his companions, "I think, I have done my best … Let's go."
As he said, the group of people was about to leave.
Li Mu clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Wait a minute."
Li Xiong was happy in his heart, turned around, looked at Li Mu, and said lightly, "Well, have you thought it through? You know you are wrong? Well, people are not saints, and everyone makes mistakes. As long as you are willing to admit your mistakes, I will give you a chance … "
