I want to be innocent, but they don't allow me

Two days passed in a flash.

Li Mu naturally had no idea about the drama of sisterly farewell that was taking place in Yanshan City.

Even if he knew, he probably wouldn't be in the mood to care about it at this moment.

“Finally I’ve tried them all.”

At this time, Li Mu was sitting in front of the stone table in the inner courtyard garden, looking at the dozen or so jade bottles in front of him and sighed.

I finally understood what it meant to vomit and I got used to it.

Think about the novels, movies, and TV dramas you have read, and find that no time traveler is as miserable as you.

"Forget it, we should set off tomorrow."

Li Mu put away the jade bottle on the table, and breathed a sigh of relief when he thought that he would not have to take poison again today.

Ge Peining has already left Linglong Waterside Pavilion, saying that she is going to prepare new poison for Li Mu.

When he learned that Li Mu was going to the Sage's Residence in Qiuzhou City, he said that he would go directly to Qiuzhou City to find him later.

This was something Li Mu had not expected.

Originally, Li Mu thought that Ge Peining would be waiting for him to return to the capital.

After all, at his current pace, it would take less than three months for him to try hundreds of poisons.

Li Mu had just walked out of the garden when he saw two pretty ladies waiting there.

The two are Su Yuwei and Chuntao, and the half is Ying Yu.

"You really don't need my help?"

Li Mu looked at Su Yuwei with a smile and asked.

Hearing this, Su Yuwei smiled sweetly.

Ever since the scars on her face and body disappeared, she has become more cheerful than before.

"With Chuntao and Xiaoyu, there is no need for you to take action."

Li Mu naturally had no doubt about Ying Yu's ability. It was extraordinary that he could become the chief guard of Prince Yan's Palace at such a young age.

Li Mu looked at Chuntao with some curiosity. He didn't expect that she had this ability.

Originally, Su Yuwei was asked to reconnect with the Zongheng family's influence in the capital.

It was just Li Mu's spur of the moment action.

It was simply because Su Yuwei behaved as usual a few days ago.

But how could the woman not care about such a long scar on her face?

It was just to distract Su Yuwei.

"What are your plans next, sir?"

Su Yuwei looked a little excited and spoke out.

"I am going to Qiuzhou City with my teacher next. Are you really not going with me?"

Li Mu looked at Su Yuwei's high-spirited appearance. Although he was happy from the bottom of his heart, he still asked.

It’s not that Li Mu couldn’t bear to part with Su Yuwei, but what happened in the suburbs of Yanshan City before made him somewhat frightened.

"Don't worry, sir. The capital is no different from other places. I just want to do more for you."

Relying on the tacit understanding between the two at this time, Su Yuwei quickly guessed what Li Mu was thinking.

Li Mu nodded. He also liked Su Yuwei's current look more, so he stopped trying to persuade her and asked:

"How is it? How many people are left in the capital now?"

Li Mu remembered that Su Yuwei had taken most of the people in the capital to Yanshan City.

However, Su Yuwei's answer stunned Li Mu.

"My Lord, a rough calculation shows that there are less than a thousand people left."

"How many?"

Li Mu was a little surprised. He clearly remembered that Su Yuwei only brought dozens of people to Yanshan City at that time. How come there were still so many in this capital?

Did she feel that there was something wrong with Gongsun Guangda at that time?

It shouldn’t be.

Su Yuwei saw Li Mu's expression and knew what he was thinking. She explained:

"Sir, the people I brought to Yanshan City were all masters deployed by the Zongheng family in the capital. They were at least at the third level."

"And now, most of the remaining people in the capital are ordinary people who don't know martial arts. The best ones are only at the fourth level, and their main job is to collect and transmit intelligence."

Hearing this, Li Mu nodded.

Compared to those low-level thugs, Li Mu felt that these people who collected intelligence were more useful.

So he asked tentatively, "Have you found the person I mentioned?"

"We found out that the man named Miao Hu left the Prime Minister's Mansion the day after the young master visited the Prime Minister."

"left?"

Li Mu looked at Su Yuwei in surprise, and heard her say in an excited tone:

"Yes, he left. Not only that, the day after he left the Prime Minister's Mansion, he got married and lived in the outer city."

"Could it be that Lu Jianjia was afraid that the truth would be exposed, so she drove them out directly? Judging from the expressions of the two that day, they must have real feelings for each other."

Li Mu was puzzled and asked immediately:

"Do you know who the woman he married was?"

"My Lord, it was a maid named Xiaoli from the Prime Minister's Mansion. They both left on the same day."

Su Yuwei blinked and kept Li Mu in suspense.

"Sir, do you know whose maid Xiaoli was before?"

Li Mu frowned slightly, then let go, looked at Su Yuwei's foxy look, and said with a smile:

"She should be Lu Jianjia's maid."

"It turns out that the young master already knew about it, and we still spent so much effort on it."

Su Yuwei pursed her lips and said unhappily.

"Hehe, I'm going to keep it outside."

After getting Su Yuwei's confirmation, Li Mu immediately thought of Lu Jianjia's intention and said:

"Continue to monitor her. If Lu Jianjia doesn't obey, I'm afraid I'll have to apologize to her."

"Sir, if this matter gets out, Miss Lu is afraid..."

Su Yuwei spoke carefully with some hesitation in her tone.

Li Mu knew that Su Yuwei was simple-minded, so he sighed slightly and said:

"This is just the worst-case scenario. There is no need to do this unless it is absolutely necessary."

After all, in his opinion, it was just a rich girl falling in love with a poor boy, and there was nothing wrong with that in essence.

If Lu Jianjia had agreed to cooperate with him from the beginning, and the two of them had worked together to push forward this marriage, he would not have thought of plotting against Lu Jianjia.

But Lu Jianjia's proposal made Li Mu feel very uncomfortable both physically and mentally.

It feels like there is something green above your head.

If he really married a woman who was not interested in him, wouldn't Li Mu become a victim?

Even if Zhao Chuyi wasn't there, Li Mu couldn't let this happen.

After thinking for a moment, Li Mu asked:

"Did Ling'er reply? What's the meaning of arranged marriage?"

Hearing this, Su Yuwei shook her head and said:

"Sir, the letter has just been sent, it won't be that fast."

Li Mu couldn't help but miss the communication technology before he traveled through time. Things like this could be answered clearly with just one phone call.

I immediately thought of Mohism.

With so many cool technologies, I wonder if there is any device that can communicate remotely.

After that, Li Mu gave Su Yuwei a few more instructions and walked towards the front hall.

As for this marriage, Li Mu still wanted to wait until Princess Yan arrived in the capital before considering it.

He was afraid that if he interfered now, it would make things even more difficult to resolve.

Just then, Qiuju came running hurriedly from a distance.

"Sir, there is a man named Lu at the door, who is clamoring to see you."

Judging from Qiuju's tone, that person's attitude must have irritated her.

Moreover, when Li Mu heard the surname Lu, he had some emergency reactions and frowned and asked:

"Male and female?"

"Replying to the prince, he is a young man who has not yet reached adulthood."

"It's him."

After hearing Qiu Ju's description, Li Mu had some guesses in his mind.

Lu Sangtuo, the third son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, was the one who chased after Li Mu and called him brother-in-law the first time he saw him.

As soon as Li Mu arrived at the main hall, he heard Lu Sangtuo shouting:

"Why hasn't my brother-in-law come yet? I have something urgent to tell him. Why don't you go and report it quickly?"

When Li Mu heard the word "brother-in-law", he felt uncomfortable and walked quickly into the main hall, saying with a stern face:

"I wonder what Mr. Lu wants to see me about?"

"Brother-in-law!"

As soon as Lu Sangtuo saw Li Mu, he immediately stood up from his chair, ran to Li Mu excitedly and said,

"Brother-in-law, something bad has happened. Song Chi learned that you were going to marry my sister and threatened to come and snatch the bride away. He is now on his way to the capital."

"Song? King Jiang?"

When Li Mu heard the surname Song, he thought of another king of a different surname in Xing Dynasty, King Jiang who guarded Jiangcheng.

"That's right. Song Chi is the youngest son of King Jiang. He has always been targeting my sister. This time he even threatened to teach you a lesson. Brother-in-law, you better be careful."
