The speaker was none other than the disciples of the Heaven Sword Martial Club.
They were all scared out of their wits just now, so they all lowered their heads for fear of being discovered by Li Mu. Now that Li Mu was far away, they dared to come out and show off.
As soon as those words came out, the heated atmosphere in the hall was as if a basin of cold water was poured on a hot charcoal basin.
Only then did many people suddenly remember this matter.
"Yes, there is still the fight between the two Great Masters."
Two days had passed since the date of the three-day fight, including today. The day after tomorrow would be the day of the life-and-death fight between the two Great Masters.
In the past two days, there were all kinds of speculations about the fight in Chang 'an City. But in general, people were more optimistic about Heaven-Sword Celestial Being. After all, Heaven-Sword Celestial Being was a famous master and had been famous for many years. In recent years, he had faked his death and lived in seclusion to practice Cultivation Methods. It was hard to say what realm his strength had reached. It was even possible that he had broken through the Great Master Realm and entered the Natural Realm.
The disciple of the Heaven Sword Martial Club was very satisfied with the effect of his words.
"I'm not afraid to tell you that Li Mu is doomed … The day after tomorrow, when the sun rises, Li Mu will be beheaded. He is just a young man who has just entered the Great Master Realm. The Heaven-Sword Celestial Being can kill him as easily as killing a chicken."
With a complacent face, he made a solemn vow.
However, this time, his words did not cause another uproar in the hall.
There was only a dead silence.
The other disciples of the Heaven Sword Martial Club, who were still cheering with their heads held high just now, also changed their expressions. With a look of horror, they trembled and looked in the direction of the door of the hall, as if they had seen something extremely terrible.
The disciple of the Heaven Sword Martial Club was puzzled. "You …" He suddenly understood something and subconsciously turned around to look at the door of the hall.
But he did not know when Li Mu had returned.
He tied the cyan-maned horse to the hitching post at the door, walked in slowly, and said, "I left in a hurry just now. I seem to have forgotten to pay the bill …" A gold note flew out of his hand and drifted unhurriedly to Bai Xuan. When he and Zheng Cunjian sat down, they had ordered the dishes.
"Mr. Zheng has paid before he left," Bai Xuan said hurriedly.
Li Mu was stunned and nodded. "Oh." With a wave of his hand, the banknote that had slowly flown away flew back to his hand like a bolt of lightning.
Nodding to Hua Xiangrong with a smile, Li Mu turned around and left again.
The disciples of the Heaven Sword Martial Club finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed that Li Mu had no intention of getting even with them.
Li Mu untied the reins from the hitching post, led the horse, and took two steps forward. Then, he suddenly turned around and raised his hand. Six streaks of purple lightning burst out of his hand and shot into the bodies of the six disciples of the Heaven Sword Martial Club who were horrified.
"Do you really think I didn't hear you?"
Li Mu said expressionlessly.
In fact, he didn't come to settle the bill at all. But when he was halfway there, he suddenly remembered that the disciples of the Heaven Sword Martial Club in the hall had not been cleaned up yet, so he found an excuse and hurried back to deal with them.
Bang, bang, bang!
The six disciples of the Heaven Sword Martial Club were covered in black smoke. As if they had been struck by lightning, they fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth, and twitching like charred wood.
They had all lost their internal qi and cultivation, so they could be regarded as useless people.
The people in the hall all gasped.
Li Mu's acting was very exaggerated. They also faintly saw that the young Great Master did not forget to pay the bill. Clearly, he found an excuse to deal with the disciples of the Heaven Sword Martial Club. After all, some people with a good memory still remembered that the disciples of the Heaven Sword Martial Club had sat at the same table with Li Mu and even mocked him.
The young Great Master really bore a grudge.
…
…
"Your honor, even if he is a Great Master, you don't have to specially come here and show him face in front of so many people."
On the way back of the black-armored soldiers, a trusted general said suspiciously.
Cai Zhijie, riding on the horse, swayed as if the horse was about to collapse. He said, "It was Mr. Zheng Cunjian of the magistrate's government who came to me. Of course, I have to show him face. This scholar is very ruthless, so there is no need to offend him. Moreover, if you think about it more deeply, you may have the shadow of the magistrate behind him."
"But I heard that this Li Mu is the abandoned son of the magistrate. At that time …"
"Shh, be careful with what you say." Cai Zhijie directly interrupted his confidant.
He glared at the confidant and said, "The family affairs of the magistrate are not something you and I can speculate. Be careful of the trouble that comes from the mouth." Everyone knew that Cai Zhijie was a hot-tempered and strong-willed boor. But in fact, how could a boor be able to be the garrison of the sub-government office in the aristocratic and wealthy area of the eastern city for ten years?
"Remember, never provoke Li Mu in the future." Cai Zhijie looked serious and said, "Tell the people of our sub-government office in the eastern city to be polite when they see this young Great Master. No matter who comes to you, as long as he wants to deal with Li Mu, refuse him. If anyone dares to make a decision without authorization and make trouble for me, I will skin him."
"Yes, sir." The trusted general quickly said.
He rarely saw his master so solemnly exhorting a matter.
Cai Zhijie sat on the horse and kept silent.
In his heart, he was thinking about something.
"A young Great Master!"
"Hey, how many years has it been since such a genius appeared?"
"It is said that when the head of the Guanshan Pasture, the guardian clan of the empire, reached the Great Master Realm, how old was he?" "It seems that he has been over 16 years old, but Li Mu is only 15 years old."
One day later, he would go to watch the battle of the Heaven Sword Martial Club.
"If Li Mu really wins this battle, even if it is a pyrrhic victory, he will break the cocoon and become a butterfly, which will shock the whole empire."
"At that time, the trivial Chang 'an government may not be enough for this young Great Master to show his strength."
"Of course, the premise is that he can win."
…
…
Accompanied by Zheng Cunjian, Li Mu returned to the Pig-Herding Alley.
"Young Master is really a vengeful person."
Zheng Cunjian once again experienced Li Mu's bad taste.
Of all the people, he knew the reason why Li Mu turned back. Of course, it was not to pay the bill, because when Li Mu first came out, he had already said that the bill had been paid.
"Help me keep an eye on Miss Hua Xiangrong. I think she seems to have something on her mind."
Before entering the yard of the Shack, Li Mu turned around and reminded Zhang Wuji.
Zheng Cunjian said, "Don't worry, Young Master."
Li Mu turned and entered the yard.
Zheng Cunjian rode out of the Pig-Herding Alley and returned to the Li Mansion at once.
…
…
Half an hour later.
In the study.
Li Gang, the magistrate of Chang 'an, was holding a history book. After listening to Zheng Cunjian's account of what happened tonight, he smiled.
"Even heroes have a weakness for the charms of a beautiful woman … What a young man."
A smile spread at the corner of his mouth.
"Your honor, Young Master seems to care a lot about that Hua Xiangrong." Seeing that the magistrate was calm, Zheng Cunjian tried to ask, "Should I send someone to keep an eye on the Holy House in secret?"
Li Gang did not give a definite answer and said, "You can do it yourself. You don't have to ask me."
Zheng Cunjian nodded, bowed, and then left the study.
The study became very quiet.
Li Gang put down the history book and was lost in thought.
The handsome man in his fifties was at the peak of his life. He was cultured and elegant, and he had the temperament of a gentleman. Under the dim light, his expression changed, and he looked a little tired. He was quite different from the usual energetic and victorious image of the magistrate in front of his subordinates.
All of a sudden, the candlelight flickered.
A stream of black mist flashed in the air and came to Li Gang's side.
He waved his hand, and the black mist fell on his palm. It coiled around his wrist and turned into a black snake. It flicked its tongue and hissed, as if it was saying something.
A hint of surprise appeared on Li Gang's face.
"Oh, I can't even get into the yard? It turns out to be a tactical deployment … This unfilial son has a lot of tricks. "
Li Gang was quite surprised.
"He actually set up a tactical deployment around the yard of the Shack?"
"This unfilial son also knows tactical deployment?"
…
…
The next day.
The sky was not completely bright. After a night, most of the streets in Chang 'an were covered with a thick layer of white frost.
The autumn equinox had passed.
The weather was getting colder and colder.
Qin Zhen, who was disguised as a man, returned to her temporary residence.
One of the guards immediately reported some of the things that happened in the city last night, with emphasis on the matter that the young Great Master Li Mu made trouble in the Holy House.
"He went to the Musical House? He even killed two instructors of the Academy just to snatch a prostitute from a brothel? "
Princess Qin Zhen, who also came back from the Musical House, heard the news, and a trace of scorn flashed in her eyes.
"Sure enough, he is a good-for-nothing. He indulges in debauchery and beauties … I don't know where he plagiarized the Epigraph of my Shack. I almost thought I misunderstood him." It seems that this is his real face. He has only been in Chang 'an for a few days, and he has already made such a mess. How many men who fight in the brothel are decent? "
Qin Zhen shook her head and did not want to pay any more attention to this man.
"He also wrote two poems tonight …" said a guard who was reporting at this time. He was about to copy the two poems and hand them to her.
However, Qin Zhen waved her hand tiredly and said, "No need to read them. Just burn them. Don't mention anything about this man to me in the future." She was born in the royal family, so she had received strict palace etiquette and the concept of honor and disgrace since childhood. She was strict with herself and others. Especially as a woman, she abhorred this kind of thing.
The guard did not dare to say more. He bowed and left.
A trace of exhaustion appeared on Qin Zhen's face.
Last night, she secretly observed the place where General Tang's wife and children were imprisoned. She did not hesitate to take the risk to explore. As a result, she was discovered by the guards. Among the guards, there was an expert in the Great Master Realm. Her whereabouts were discovered. After a hard fight, she lost two spies buried in the Musical House before she was able to escape. Fortunately, her real identity was not exposed, but the other party's strong defense force shocked her.
"I have to make a new plan."
Qin Zhen concentrated and thought hard.
She had a feeling that it was difficult to continue.
"Why is life so difficult?"
As a member of the royal family, she had a high status, but she was not as free as ordinary women. The heavy pressure was about to crush her. There were too many things on her back.
