Li Muyang waited until the villagers had left before he turned and hurried towards the direction of Tiandu.
Not long after Li Muyang left, a group of mysterious figures in the same black robes and wolf masks rushed over.
The leader landed at the scene of the murder, and the other black robed figures scattered in all directions.
They patrolled the village once, then landed next to the group of corpses on the ground.
"Wolf Constellation, all the villagers have left, no traces of suspicious people were found." One of the black robes with a wolf mask reported.
"That's right." The black robed leader stared at the mutilated corpses on the ground. "How could these stupid villagers be a match for our people? They must have received help from an expert to escape, and under the guidance of that expert, they escaped from the village to avoid a second disaster. If they did not escape, I'm afraid the entire village would have been massacred by us. "
"Wolf Constellation, how do you know that the expert was one person and not a group?" The black robe asked.
"Look at their corpses …" The black-robed leader pointed at the corpses on the ground and said, "These people were all killed by the same weapon. Moreover, some of them were killed by the same sword … I don't know how many of them there are, but I know that there was only one person who attacked. And this person is an expert swordsman. "
"I see." The black robe nodded. "Then who dared to ruin our plans?"
"Since this person dared to do it once, he will do it a second time. There will come a day when the truth will be revealed. "The black robed leader's voice was cold like a ghost's. "In the future, be more careful when you do things, don't let people take advantage of the loopholes. If you mess up the important matter of the person above, I'm afraid everyone here will wish they were dead. "
"Yes." The black robes responded in unison.
Li Muyang walked on the official road, and beside him was a group of escorts escorting an escort carriage.
Because of the realistic dream on Duan Shan Road, Li Muyang had a good impression of the escort agency and the escorts. So, when he saw the escort team, he naturally walked over and mingled with them. He also blended in with them and followed them into the city.
"Young Master Li, are you here for the examination or business?" The escort leader Chen Danian asked.
"Examination?" Li Muyang calculated the time and said with a smile, "It's not exam time now. Why are you here at this time?"
"Young Master Li might not know this, but in order to get into a famous school in the capital, some students will come to the capital half a year or a year earlier … so that they can familiarize themselves with the situation earlier and have a better chance for the examination next year. If I can get to know a few nobles or professors before the exam, then I'm sure I'll be able to pass the exam. "
"I see. I'm here to visit a friend. "Li Muyang said with a smile.
"Oh, someone like Young Master Li, I'm sure your friend is also very amazing, right?"
"He's just the owner of a small satin shop," Li Muyang said with a smile.
"That's still impressive," Chen Danian said with a smile.
At the gate of Tiandu, the soldiers guarding the city needed everyone to hand in their passes.
Li Muyang was prepared and handed the travel permit to the city gate officer.
"Who are you?" A young General inspected the pass, pointed to Li Muyang and asked aloud.
"Li Xuan."
"What are you doing in Tiandu?"
"Visiting a friend."
"Visiting a friend? What's your friend's name? What's his identity and background? Where does he live now? "
Li Muyang frowned slightly, other people only needed to take a look at the pass and hand over a few coins to let them in, but he had to be questioned in such detail. This was deliberately making things difficult for him.
Li Muyang didn't expect it to be so troublesome. While he was still thinking of what to say, Chen Danian quickly came over, took out a piece of silver from his pocket and stuffed it into the hands of the junior general, saying in a low voice: "Brother Jiang, this is a distant relative of mine, he just came to Tiandu from a small town in Jiangnan. It's his first time traveling so far and he doesn't know the rules, please be more magnanimous, don't lower yourself to the level of this young boy."
The gate officer surnamed Jiang took the silver and looked at Chen Danian with dissatisfaction. "Escort Chen, we're old friends, you can't harm me by bringing some dubious people into the city. Otherwise, you'll be harming yourself and others. I won't be able to bear the consequences, you won't have a good time either. "
"Of course. Of course. We've known each other for so many years, I, Chen Danian, walk back and forth under Brother Jiang's eyes many times every year … Can you still not believe me? Isn't that right? I brought a few jars of the best osmanthus wine from Jiangnan, when Brother Jiang is free, let's have a good drink? "
The gate officer patted Chen Danian's shoulder and said with a smile, "Alright. Go in. I'll go find you when I'm free. "
He then looked at Li Muyang, his attitude becoming much more amiable. "Don't blame me for purposely making things difficult for you, who asked you to be surnamed Li? As long as it's surnamed Li, we'll take a few more glances … Luckily you're different from the person in the portrait, otherwise, we brothers would have to fight each other. "
"You want to investigate everyone surnamed Li?" Li Muyang asked. "What's the reason?"
"It's because there's an evil dragon in Tiandu called Li Muyang — — It is said that all the masters in the world went to slay the dragon, but the dragon still escaped. The higher-ups are worried that the dragon will sneak into Tiandu, so, as long as it's someone surnamed Li or Lu, or a young person like you, they must be carefully investigated. If it wasn't for Escort Chen speaking up for you, you certainly wouldn't have been able to pass so easily today. "
Li Muyang secretly felt lucky, thinking to himself, it's not enough to just change your name and change your makeup. Even if you have the face and body of a young man, you will still be one of their key targets.
It seemed that after Yan Bolai and the others failed to slay the dragon in the Divine Palace, the West Wind imperial family and the Song family had greatly increased their vigilance against him.
Then, on this trip to West Wind, he must be careful with Xiaoxin.
"Thank you General." Li Muyang respectfully cupped his hands to the gate officer.
The gate officer waved his hand, saying, "Go, go — — the one in the green robe, yes, it's you, come here — —"
"— —"
Li Muyang and Chen Danian walked together towards the inner city of Tiandu, saying gratefully: "Thank you big brother Chen for your help, if it wasn't for your help, there would be some trouble today."
"It's nothing." Chen Danian laughed heartily. "It's strange, we are bodyguards all year round, we are very vigilant, ordinary people can't get close to us. But when I saw you I felt a sense of familiarity, as if we've known each other before — — I also feel that you treat us brothers sincerely. Does Gongzi Li have relatives or friends who depend on us? "
Li Muyang nodded. "Yes. I have a group of friends, they are also bodyguards. Everyone has been through life and death together, we have a good relationship. "
"To be able to go through life and death with Gongzi, they must be a group of good brothers. Let's have a drink together. "
"Okay. Let's have a drink together. "Li Muyang nodded with a smile.
It was evening, and there were few people on the streets.
Li Muyang and Chen Danian were talking cheerfully and wittily, and as they talked, they walked into a familiar mansion.
Chen Danian noticed the strange look in Li Muyang's eyes, pointed to the tightly closed and dilapidated mansion, and whispered: "Do you know where this used to be? The House of Duke — — the people who live there are all important people, below one person and above tens of thousands. Moreover, the old man in their family holds the military power of West Wind — — I didn't expect that he would have the intention to rebel and wanted to usurp the throne. Fortunately our Ximen Empire's Old immortal Song intervened in time, otherwise they would have succeeded. "
"People shouldn't be too greedy. You're already in the highest position, but you still want to enter one after another — — You see, the mansion that we didn't even dare to take a glance at before has turned to ashes overnight. It is said that the people of the Lu clan are almost all dead, and the others also feel that this mansion is inauspicious and don't want to live here. After such a long time, no one lives in this mansion. It's desolate and dilapidated, it's a pity. What a good location — — "
Li Muyang smiled. "Indeed, a man who is never content is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant. Some people are just too ambitious. "
"Yes. So, the person of the Lu Family is not as good as the Old immortal of the Song family. Look at the Song family, everyone knows that they are powerful, everyone knows that they are strong, but they are always well-behaved and never overstep their boundaries. They also don't have such big ambitions. How many pillars of the West Wind Kingdom have they cultivated for generations? "
Li Muyang smiled. "Old immortal Song is the person I admire the most, I hope to meet him one day."
"Hahaha — — young people are full of mettle. It's always good to have ideals, but the Old immortal of the Song family is not someone you can easily see. Even if a great general of the imperial court wanted to pay a visit, it would be difficult to get in. "
"I'm just saying, I think that's the case." Li Muyang also laughed. Luo Mo withdrew his gaze from the Lu clan's mansion. "However, I will remember Big brother Chen's kindness. I will certainly repay you in the future. "
"You are treating me like an outsider. In the future when you miss Big brother, want to drink, just walk along this street, the last house at the end is us — — Remember the sign of the Dragon Gate Escort Agency. "
"I will remember." Li Muyang bowed respectfully. "Big brother Chen, it's getting late, then we will say goodbye here."
"Good. Say goodbye, remember to find me for a drink. "
Li Muyang said goodbye to the other escorts, and then walked towards the left side of the street.
He made a big circle, and then came to a slightly remote alley. When he saw that there was no one around, he knocked on the back door of a courtyard.
Creak — —
The courtyard door opened, and Li Muyang flashed in.
The courtyard door closed with lightning speed, as if it had never been opened.
"Greetings Gongzi Muyang." A middle-aged woman bowed to Li Muyang.
The middle-aged woman was ugly, dressed in gold and silver, and looked unbearably vulgar. The most disgusting thing was that there was a huge black mole under her nose, like a fly lying there. Normal men would not want to look at her more than a few times.
Li Muyang pointed to the middle-aged woman and laughed aloud. "Hong Xiu, is this how you usually dress?"
"What can I do?" The middle-aged woman revealed her clear voice, and said with a wry smile, "Now Tiandu is in chaos, the Monitoring Division and the Song family are constantly eliminating the forces that were originally loyal to the Lu clan or the people hidden underground — — Fortunately, this cloth shop was set up very early, has a hundred years of history, and the owner does not seem to have any connection with the Lu clan. Otherwise, it would be difficult for us to hide in Tiandu. "
Li Muyang sighed softly. "It's been hard on you, Hong Xiu."
"Is it enough to say 'hard'?" The middle-aged woman glared at him. When she glared at him, the black mole under her nose wriggled, making her look as ugly as she could be.
"Then what do you want?" Li Muyang looked at her with interest, asking aloud.
