Hearing that, Li Gang smiled.
Private Adviser Tian did not know martial arts, and his strength was not as good as Zheng Cunjian's. But he was good at divination, fortune-telling, and other unorthodox skills, so he had a pair of sharp eyes.
Since Private Adviser Tian said so, it could not be wrong.
Huang Wenyuan was more ambitious than the sky, but his life was thinner than a piece of paper. He was born to be a scapegoat.
Li Gang recalled Private Adviser Tian's comment on Li Mu. There were only four words: "Get rid of him as soon as possible". When asked about the reason, Private Adviser Tian's explanation was that Li Mu was "unpredictable, uncontrollable, and unpredictable". But these days, the facts proved that Li Mu was indeed unpredictable, and the death of the second prince was proof of that.
"Go and get ready." Li Gang waved his hand.
Private Adviser Tian bowed and left.
Li Gang slowly sat on the chair and opened his palm. A silver light emerged and turned into an ancient mirror. It was the Sky-stabilizing Mirror.
He activated the Cultivation Method incantation, and layers of ripples appeared on the surface of the mirror. Then, like the Water Mirror Technique, the real big map of Chang 'an emerged. However, the area of Taibai County was now covered by a shadow, as if it was covered by a strange power, and the picture inside could not be seen.
"I still can't see it clearly … Is he going to declare himself king? He is too bold. "
Li Gang put down the mirror with a gloomy face.
"Those shadows should be the tactical deployment Zheng Cunjian mentioned."
"Two months ago, it was not like this."
"That is to say, in two months, Li Mu has set up a tactical deployment in Taibai County that can block the Sky-stabilizing Mirror. The Sky-stabilizing Mirror, which was built by the top nine Holy Clans and the royal family, is said to monitor the whole world. Except for the imperial palace and the Holy Clan, as long as it is within the scope of surveillance, there is absolutely nothing that it can't see …"
"Can the sect behind Li Mu actually fight against the Holy Clan?"
Just which ancient sect was it that had been hiding for so long?
Li Gang put away the Sky-stabilizing Mirror and weighed the pros and cons.
After a while, Zheng Cunjian came in with Li Bing.
"Father …" Li Bing lowered his head and dared not to breathe.
Li Gang said without looking up, "Now that you're back, don't go out and make trouble. This time, consider it a lesson for you. You can go to the accounting office to get the money for the next few months …" His attitude was neither cold nor warm.
Li Bing nodded and didn't dare to say anything else. He turned around and left.
He had always been in awe of this father of his.
"Your Honor, should we continue to deliver the news to Taibai County as usual?" Zheng Cunjian asked.
Li Gang raised his head and fixed his eyes on Zheng Cunjian's face, which made Zheng Cunjian's heart skip a beat. Li Gang smiled and said, "Mr. Zheng, you've been asking for my advice a lot lately. It's not like this before. You can weigh the pros and cons yourself. You don't have to ask me for advice on everything. I believe in your ability and loyalty. Sooner or later, I'll ask someone to help you remove the curse in your body. Don't worry."
Shedding tears of gratitude, Zheng Cunjian said, "Thank you, Your Honor. I can't repay your kindness even if I die."
…
…
The night was dark.
Bai Xuan sat in her room with a bewildered expression.
As a woman, a beautiful woman, she cared a lot about her appearance, so she had always paid attention to maintaining her appearance and rarely slept late. But tonight, it was already past midnight, and she was not sleepy at all.
"That Young Master Huang is a cruel and heartless man. If Hua 'er falls into his hands …"
Thinking of Qin 'er, who had died, Bai Xuan felt a burst of grief and sympathy.
Different from other brothel mothers, Bai Xuan really hoped that her girls could have a good ending. She regarded Qin 'er as her own daughter and had high hopes for her, just like how she treated Hua Xiangrong. But now … how could she not be sad? How could she not be angry?
"I have to remind Young Master Li and the others."
Bai Xuan made up her mind.
She picked up the pen and wrote a letter, telling Li Mu what she had heard in the Holy House in the past few days, as well as what happened today. In the letter, she repeatedly warned Li Mu to be careful and not to be careless. If necessary, he could take Hua Xiangrong away and fly far away …
After writing the letter, Bai Xuan found her most trusted servant and asked him to ride a fast horse to Taibai County to deliver the letter.
"I hope Young Master Li and Hua 'er can escape this disaster."
…
…
In Taibai County.
Li Mu received another letter.
The messenger was Wind Gentleman, Wang Chen.
"Her Highness is very grateful for your help," Wind Gentleman said respectfully.
Li Mu opened the envelope and read it.
In the letter, Her Highness thanked Li Mu profusely for his help that day and raised about five hundred thousand ingots of gold to repay Li Mu. But at the end of the letter, she reminded Li Mu that the current atmosphere in the imperial court was very unfavorable to Li Mu. Those in power seemed to have ordered Li Mu to be arrested as a scapegoat for the death of the second prince to deal with the emperor of the Western Qin who was about to come out of the closed-door training. Therefore, she suggested Li Mu to flee far away from Jianghu …
After reading it, Li Mu smiled.
This was the second person who had persuaded him to leave Taibai County.
No matter what, it was out of good intentions.
Li Mu did not say yes or no, and asked Qing Feng to accept the 500,000 gold ingots.
Wang Chen took out a box from his bosom and handed it to Li Mu, saying, "This is what Her Highness asked me to give to Your Honor."
Li Mu was surprised.
"There is something else?"
He took the box and opened it. Inside was a booklet that looked like silk and paper. It looked a little old. The material was very special, and the edges were worn. It might have been thousands of years. In the booklet, there were all kinds of vivid figures and landscapes. There were nine pictures in total. Next to each picture, there was a note in ancient handwriting. On the first page, it was written "Essentials of the Nine Heavens Chong Ming Visualization Painting".
It turned out to be a visualization method.
Li Mu was even more astonished.
"Her Highness should give me a visualization method?"
In fact, Li Mu was interested in the visualization method before. But the mysterious female swordsman in Taiping Town had given him several visualization methods, which turned out to be useless to him. Li Mu had tried many times, but he could not visualize at all. Since it was useless, he gave up.
Li Mu thought the visualization method might be useless to him.
"This painting is a secret treasure of the royal family that Her Highness got by accident. His Majesty once said that this painting contains the supreme meaning of the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth. But Her Highness has been studying it for decades, but she still can't get a glimpse of its mystery. Her Highness thinks that maybe she is not talented enough to get this magic. Keeping the painting in her hands is really a waste. Your Honor, you are a genius in martial arts, so you may be able to understand the meaning in the painting," said Lord Feng.
Li Mu kind of understood.
"A strange and lousy painting is trying to rope me in."
He glanced at it and did not find any mystery in it. So, he did not take it seriously. He said, "I appreciate your Highness's kindness, and I reluctantly accept the painting for free. But let me make it clear that this painting was sent to me by Her Highness. So, you can't use it as compensation."
Wang Chen was instantly speechless.
This was the point of this Young Master Li. His words were way too direct, and it was hard for anyone to accept.
"How could he reluctantly accept such a precious treasure … Can he be any more shameless?"
Li Mu casually put the map on the table. Then, he thought of something and grinned. Then, he said, "I know that your highness and Mrs. Tang and her daughter are now in Taibai County. Don't worry. As long as you don't make trouble, you can stay here. No one can touch you."
Wang Chen was overjoyed.
Not only did he repay the debt, but he also gave gifts. Wasn't it all for this matter?
It showed that Li Mu finally no longer ostracized his Highness, which was a good thing.
Until today, Wang Chen was still thinking of persuading Li Mu to work for Princess Qin Zhen.
However, he did not want to regard Li Mu as a subordinate or a general like before. Instead, he regarded Li Mu as an equal partner. As long as Li Mu was willing to help Qin Zhen, the situation could be reversed.
While they were talking, the little attendant Qing Feng came in and said, "Young Master, someone from the Holy House in Chang 'an came with a letter, asking you to read it in person."
"Oh? Please. "
Li Mu was puzzled. "The Holy House sent a letter. Does it mean that Bai Xuan misses Ting 'er?"
Seeing that, Wang Chen tactfully stood up and took his leave.
If he wanted to persuade Li Mu, he had to take it slow. He could not be too hasty.
After a while, a quick-looking servant in cyan walked in, looking tired. He took a look at Li Mu and said, "Young Master Li, I'm Xu Er. Do you remember me? It's Mrs. Bai who asked me to come … "He had met Li Mu in the Holy House before.
Li Mu smiled and said, "Of course." He had an impression of Xu Er, who was Bai Xuan's trusted servant.
"Mrs. Bai asked me to send you good news." He took out the letter and said, "It's written by Mrs. Bai herself. She asked me to deliver it overnight. She said it was of great importance, so Xu Er dared not neglect it. On the way, three fast horses died …"
Li Mu opened the letter and read it. Then, he understood.
"Another one persuading me to leave Taibai County."
"Xu Sheng, Her Highness, and Bai Xuan … They all have good intentions."
"Those who took the risk to give me such a warning must have regarded me as a friend."
"Especially Bai Xuan, who was a woman with a temperament. This letter made Li Mu respect her."
"I see. Go to the backyard and meet Miss Hua. Then, go back and tell Mrs. Bai that I'll remember this favor. Tell her not to worry." Li Mu said to Qing Feng, "Prepare some traveling expenses for Xu Er and entertain him for me. Thank you for your hard work."
"Thank you, Young Master Li." Xu Er was overjoyed.
Li Mu was generous, which was known to everyone in the Holy House.
Qing Feng pushed the wheelchair and took Xu Er out.
Li Mu put away the letter. Then, his eyes fell on the Nine Heavens Chong Ming Visualization Essentials. He picked it up and carefully observed it. After reading it once, he did not find anything special. The paintings of mountains, rivers, and people on it were also vivid. But if it was a marvelous secret method, it might not be so.
Li Mu carefully observed the first Flying Sky Picture and tried to visualize it with the last hope of luck.
A quarter of an hour later, it didn't work.
"It seems that I'm really not suitable for visualization cultivation."
He was about to give up.
The moment he put down the book full of years, Li Mu suddenly had an idea. Without knowing why, he opened his Third Eye and scanned the book. When his Third Eye glanced over the book, his eyes suddenly widened.
"Eh? There's a mezzanine? This is … How is this possible? "
An incredulous look appeared on his face.
