The shocking news that Meng Wu, the White Horse and Silver Spear, the commander-in-chief of the patrol team and the commander of the Red Blaze Battalion, together with his 20 personal guards, was knocked out and plundered by Li Mu in the Pig-Herding Alley and thrown into the box naked, soon spread throughout Chang 'an.
The whole city was shocked.
The four great devil zombies of the Ghost Sect had enjoyed such treatment before.
Later, for some unknown reason, the head of the Ghost Sect actually tolerated it.
But anyway, the head of the Ghost Sect was a martial arts force after all, so he had to be scrupulous when doing things in Chang 'an. Moreover, Li Mu was also an official of the empire, the head of a county, so he could not kill him rashly.
However, Meng Wu, the White Horse and Silver Spear, was the commander-in-chief of the Red Blaze Battalion, one of the three main battalions in Chang 'an. He was a second-grade official of the empire, and it was said that he came from the imperial army in Qin City. Whether in official rank or background, he was far above Li Mu. "How dare Li Mu use the means to deal with the four great devil zombies on Meng Wu?"
"This time, Li Mu might have poked a hornet's nest, right?"
Meng Wu was also unlucky. As the commander-in-chief of the army, he went to the Pig-Herding Alley with only 20 personal guards without any precaution. As a result, he was stripped naked and thrown into the Pig-Herding Alley like a pig. From then on, his reputation was completely ruined. It was a lifelong shame. How could he lead the army?
Everyone was looking forward to the gathering of the Red Blaze Battalion and the sweeping of the Shack.
No matter how amazing Li Mu was, it was impossible for him to fight against a main force of the field army alone.
However, such a scene did not happen, and another thing about Li Mu spread throughout Chang 'an.
The Bloody-moon Faction released the news that its head, Bloody-moon Evil Master, could not come out in time because of the closed-door training, so the battle with Li Mu in Jifeng Mountain was postponed for three months.
This time, they released the news unilaterally.
In the past half a year, the Bloody-moon faction had developed rapidly in the Chang 'an Mansion and gained a lot of influence, especially among the martial arts at the bottom level. It could be said that it had unconsciously controlled many forces and even opened its headquarters in Chang' an City. Bloody-moon Evil Master, with its help, was quite a dark horse. He suddenly rose as a new force and defeated dozens of famous masters in succession, so he was regarded as a powerful figure.
Before, when the Bloody-moon Faction announced that Bloody-moon Evil Master would challenge Li Mu in Jifeng Mountain, many people did not know who Li Mu was. After some investigation, they believed that Bloody-moon Evil Master would definitely win. But now, the situation reversed. Li Mu came from behind and shocked Chang 'an City. Bloody-moon Evil Master had disappeared these days, and the headquarters of the Bloody-moon Faction was also strangely empty.
Now, almost everyone believed that Bloody-moon Evil Master was courting death by challenging Li Mu.
Therefore, such an announcement from the Bloody-moon faction was unexpected but reasonable.
However, after hearing the news, Li Mu also shook his head in disappointment.
He was ready to set off for Jifeng Mountain tomorrow.
Since robbing Chu Nantian, the Four Great Devil Zombies, and Meng Wu, Devil Li finally tasted the sweetness of "picking up the express delivery". In the past, he worked hard to cultivate and make money, but it was not as good as fighting. No wonder so many people liked to be bad guys. It was true that a man would not get rich without a windfall, and a horse would not get fat without grass at night.
A Grand Master like Bloody-moon Evil Master should have a lot of resources and wealth. If he knocked him out and robbed him, wouldn't he make a fortune?
Unfortunately, Bloody-moon Evil Master chickened out.
Li Mu also felt that it was absolutely easy to defeat Bloody-moon Evil Master.
Because this guy could not even beat Shangguan Yuting before he was injured.
Since Bloody-moon Evil Master chickened out, Li Mu could not go to his door to pick up the express delivery, because he did not know where he was hiding.
He seized the time to repair the weapons and refine the Samsara Knife.
Li Mu was working around the clock, practicing Zhenwu Boxing and Xiantian Skill, practicing broadswords, going to the military cemetery to absorb the Spiritual Qi of the Earthvein, guiding Shangguan Yuting's martial arts cultivation, and digesting the gains after the battle with Red-hair Killing God Zhang Bulao that day. In particular, the profound meaning of the Celestial Being Realm, the mobilization of the power of heaven and earth, and the hidden grid-like energy flow all inspired Li Mu a lot.
Moreover, because he had practiced the Xiantian Skill, Li Mu's spiritual force was very strong. With the help of the Taoist magic arts the old faker taught him, he could easily open all kinds of space storage. So, Li Mu even suspected that the old faker was a wretched bandit who roamed the universe. Because he offended the public, he was hunted down and fled to a remote place like Earth.
As an elder of the headquarters of the Qing Sha Clan, the Red-hair Killing God had a lot of good things. Among them, there were four of the strange stones found on Chu Nantian that day, which contained strange energy and were blood-red. Li Mu did not know their uses, but the future leader of the Heaven Sword Sect and the elder of the Qing Sha Clan all had them, so they should be very precious. Li Mu kept them first, as well as all kinds of gold notes, magic iron, instruments, star deployment magic treasures, and martial arts manuals, most of which were the secret skills of the Qing Sha Clan and the broadsword-using manual of the Three Styles of God-slaying.
As the commander-in-chief of the Red Blaze Battalion, Meng Wu was also very rich. He had a lot of treasures, but he did not have those strange stones.
For a whole day, Li Mu stayed in the secret room to do closed-door training.
In the afternoon, he came out of the closed-door training and had dinner with the girls.
The girls were very lively and chattering. After spending a long time with him, they probably had figured out Li Mu's temper and were no longer as afraid of him as before. Instead, they occasionally made fun of Li Mu. Li Mu did not mind. They were all young people, so he did not need to put on airs. It was boring.
Having been cooped up in the courtyard of the Shack for a long time, the beautiful girls all wanted to go out and get some fresh air. But given the chaotic environment outside, Li Mu finally vetoed that idea with a democratic vote.
Shangguan Yuting's injury had recovered quite well. She resumed her cultivation, and her progress was also very fast.
It was just that her Mud-pill Palace had not been completely reshaped. And she had no idea what the use of that wisp of Divine Soul in her Sea of Consciousness was.
Li Mu did not have any good suggestions, either.
That was because after he healed Shangguan Yuting with the help of Yin and Yang that day, a wisp of his spiritual force also went out of control in his Mud-pill Palace. Until now, he still had not figured out its function and meaning.
After that, Li Mu left the courtyard of the Shack.
He was going to see the scumbag magistrate again.
But to his surprise, when he came to the gate of the courtyard, he saw a notice posted on the wall of the Pig-Herding Alley. The content of the notice was that Li Mu, the magistrate of Taibai County, had colluded with the demon race and committed the most heinous crime. He was given three days to turn himself in to the patrol team and hand over the head of the fox spirit of the Clear Spring Chamber of Commerce. Otherwise, he would be killed under the iron law.
After reading it, Li Mu was stunned for a moment and then felt it was ridiculous.
More than a day had passed, but the Red Blaze Battalion had not taken any action. Meng Wu's revenge came more slowly than everyone expected. It was rather anticlimactic, which was puzzling. "Does the patrol team intend to wage a war of public opinion by issuing such a notice?"
"What the hell?"
Li Mu took the notice, put it under his foot, and then left.
Half an hour later.
In the magistrate's office.
Li Mu was waiting outside the main hall.
This was the third time he came to the magistrate's office. The first two times he came, the scumbag magistrate was not there and asked Li Mu to go back. Obviously, he was trying to wear down Li Mu's morale. Because every time he came, he brought out Private Adviser Tian and almost used the words "His Lordship said he was not here" to dismiss Li Mu.
But this time, the scumbag magistrate finally asked Li Mu to wait outside for the time being.
"His Lordship is busy with official business." Private Adviser Tian smiled apologetically.
Li Mu nodded but did not say anything.
Because he could tell that the scumbag magistrate of Chang 'an was really busy, and he was not being perfunctory. The people coming in and out of the main hall were all officials from various states and counties in Chang' an. They were as crowded as the uncles and aunties who lined up to buy eggs in the newly opened supermarkets on Earth. They were all holding thick dossiers and official documents in their arms, waiting to see the magistrate of Chang 'an for approval.
Chang 'an was the second largest province in the Western Qin Empire. It governed dozens of provinces and counties. It had a vast territory and rich resources. Tens of thousands of officials, mountain-like decrees, and all kinds of decisions were received and sent out from the main hall of the magistrate's office every day. According to Private Adviser Tian, the scumbag magistrate spent at least half a day dealing with government affairs. He was extremely diligent.
Li Mu had to admire that scumbag.
Although he was a scumbag, his ability and diligence were really eye-catching.
Managing government decrees was even more boring than taking a freshman's advanced mathematics paper. Only a pervert could persist in it for decades and enjoy it.
After chatting with Private Adviser Tian for a while, Li Mu gathered his thoughts, closed his eyes, and stood on the spot to run the Xiantian Skill and practice.
Beside him, Private Adviser Tian was speechless.
Li Mu's name could not be written in one stroke. They were indeed two men with the same blood flowing in their veins. They were both freaking fierce men who raced against time.
Two hours later, it was finally Li Mu's turn.
"Your Lordship summons Li Mu, the magistrate of Taibai County." The guard's voice came.
Private Adviser Tian led Li Mu into the main hall.
The main hall was spacious and spacious, with tables and chairs on both sides. In front of the main hall was a big table. Behind the table was a middle-aged handsome man in his forties. He had a handsome face, sword-like eyebrows, a square nose, and a large forehead. He was dressed in a purple official robe and looked very noble and dignified.
He was Li Gang, the magistrate of Chang 'an.
His name was ordinary, but his status was not ordinary.
At the sight of him, Li Mu also praised him inwardly. Apart from other things, when this guy was young, he was definitely a troublemaker. God had given him the gift of living off a woman. No wonder he could make Li Mu's mother fall head over heels for him. He was handsome, could write poems, and had also won the imperial examination … He was simply a lady-killer.
When other officials entered the main hall, they were all trembling with fear and reverence.
But Li Mu was carelessly looking around with a scrutinizing attitude, which scared Private Adviser Tian, who kept coughing to remind him. But Li Mu pretended not to see it.
Li Gang was also looking at Li Mu.
When their eyes met, there was no ripple in Li Gang's eyes.
"Magistrate Li, you've come to see me three times. What's the matter?" Li Gang asked. His voice was steady, but it carried a kind of strong momentum and official prestige.
