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

Hearing this, Xiao Zhao hurried to the kitchen to prepare food for Li Mu, knowing that Li Mu was going to practice his strange kung fu again.

Li Mu's previous experiments had indeed scared the little girl a lot, but later he found out that it was just because she had a large appetite and there was no other harm, so Xiao Zhao felt relieved.

After a while, Xiao Zhao filled the table, grabbed a steamed bun in her hand, hid it secretly behind her back, and stood obediently beside Li Mu.

Seeing this, Li Mu smiled bitterly.

"This cheat is really a bit of a scam."

Then he closed his eyes.

After a moment, Li Mu slowly opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Zhao beside him, who was staring at him nervously.

He held the steamed bun in front of his chest with both hands, as if he would stuff it into Li Mu's mouth if anything went wrong.

"Xiao Zhao, it's okay, put down your weapon, no steamed buns."

Seeing Xiao Zhao ready to go, Li Mu quickly waved his hand and said.

Then he called Xiao Zhao to the table to eat together, while he began to think secretly.

"I want to know if Su Yuwei will betray me, but no image appears in my mind. Does she not want to, or does she not know?"

While thinking about this, Li Mu unconsciously picked up the chopsticks and skillfully picked up some food for Xiao Zhao who was staring at him.

"That night I wanted to know the reason why Luo You invited me to the Listening Pavilion, and what I saw was indeed the scene of Su Yuwei and I driving. At first I thought the opponent was Luo You."

Then, he put another chicken leg into Xiao Zhao's bowl.

"But when I wanted to know Luo You's identity, not only did no scene appear, but I almost starved to death."

Thinking of this, Li Mu frowned slightly and picked up another piece of pork ribs for Xiao Zhao.

"Could it be that I opened it the wrong way? I don't think I've ever tried the proper way of divination on bamboo slips."

Then Li Mu's mouth twitched and he picked up another piece of food for Xiao Zhao with his chopsticks.

"Can I apply for a cheat code? I don't understand how to use this thing."

Then he put down his chopsticks and tapped the table lightly with his fingers.

"For now, I should give up this unreliable thing. Improving my hard power is the right way. I can clearly feel that my current body is indeed much stronger than that of an ordinary person. It is more reliable to focus on the "Hidden Edge Art"."

Thinking of this, Li Mu smiled.

"Zongheng family, Su Yuwei, it is said that Hezong and Lianheng were divided by the Zongheng family themselves. Could it be that the man in the bamboo hat yesterday was from the Lianheng lineage? Su Yuwei, um, Run!"

"Hahahaha!"

The more he thought about it, the more refreshed he felt. Li Mu couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Xiao Zhao, who was standing aside with a look of aggrieved look on his face, staring at the pile of food in his bowl with worry, heard Li Mu's laughter and looked at him in confusion.

Li Mu also reacted at this time. He first saw the bowl in Xiao Zhao's hand and was stunned for a moment. Then he saw Xiao Zhao's resentful expression and laughed even louder.

At this time, footsteps were heard outside the yard.

Then Li Mu stood up, rubbed Xiao Zhao's hair, and signaled Xiao Zhao with his eyes to eat quickly and not waste food.

Then he walked out of the house, saying:

"Xiao Zhao is too thin. I still like girls with some flesh on them."

As soon as I got outside, I saw Li Linger, wearing a red palace dress, walking to the gate of the courtyard.

Seeing Li Mu just coming out of the house, Li Ling'er was about to smile, but then her face darkened again as if she thought of something.

He said to Li Mu indifferently:

"You are quite positive."

Li Mu didn't know how he had made the young lady angry again, and he didn't dare to say much. He just followed Li Ling'er and walked towards the woodshed.

At this time, Su Yuwei, who was sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed in the haystack, heard the sound of the door being pushed open. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at the two people who entered the woodshed.

"Xiaoyu, you stand guard at the door and don't let anyone get close."

Ying Yu nodded slightly to Li Ling'er, then left the woodshed and closed the door.

Hearing this, Li Mu muttered in a low voice.

"Apart from Xiao Zhao and I, is there anyone else in this courtyard?"

Li Ling'er turned around and glared at Li Mu without saying anything.

Li Mu quickly turned to look at Su Yuwei, frowning, feeling somewhat conflicted.

Just then Li Linger spoke first:

"How is the Lin family going to deal with my Prince Yan's Mansion?"

Su Yuwei didn't look at Li Ling'er, but looked at Li Mu and said slowly:

"Delaying this year's taxation will delay the delivery of grain and fodder to the border after the spring."

"Oh, that's it."

Hearing this, Li Linger sneered, looked at Su Yuwei with disdain, and continued:

"Let's not talk about whether the Lin family has the ability to do this. Even if they delay, what does it matter? Can the Lin family delay for three to five months? Can they delay for a year or half a year?"

"This is just the first step, or to paralyze the Prince of Yan's Mansion and conceal the truth."

Su Yuwei ignored Li Linger's sarcasm and looked at Li Mu seriously.

Li Mu thought:

"Girl, you are fanning the flames. You don't want to live anymore. I can't even think of how to save you, and you are still provoking me."

"The Lin family is colluding with the Ran slaves. My senior brother has united with several small families in the north. He will first hold up the army's food and grass, and then cooperate with the Ran slaves to swallow up the food and grass."

Su Yuwei sighed and looked at Li Mu with a guilty look on her face.

"At that time, the Rannu people will launch a massive attack on the border. Without backup food and grass, the King of Yan can only defend to the death. The Lin family will use transport ships to directly bring some of the Rannu masters to Yanshan City."

"What did you say!"

After hearing this book, Li Ling'er could no longer sit still. She stood up and prepared to rush to the Lin family's residence.

Li Mu, who was standing by, held her down and said in a serious tone:

"Listen to the end."

"When Ran Nu's masters entered the city, the Lin family and the various aristocratic families and the forces cultivated by the Zongheng family over the years attacked the Prince of Yan's Mansion together."

As she spoke, Su Yuwei sighed deeply and no longer dared to look Li Mu in the eye.

"By then, we will be surrounded by Rannu's army outside and threatened by the family members of Prince Yan's mansion inside. We will be doomed."

"Let me go!"

Li Linger could no longer suppress her hot temper and was about to shake off Li Mu's hand.

Seeing this, Li Mu did not tolerate it. This matter concerned the safety of himself and Xiao Zhao, so Li Mu had to be cautious and raised his hand to hit Li Ling'er's butt.

"Behave yourself, stay aside, and don't go anywhere!"

Li Ling'er, feeling the heat behind her, screamed and glared at Li Mu with resentment, like an angry kitten, but she said nothing and just stood aside sulking.

Li Mu turned to look at Su Yuwei, thought for a moment, and asked:

"How do you know all this? I mean, the contrast between your past and present is quite big. If the Lin family had planned to let your senior brother replace you from the beginning, there would be no need for you to know this."

Su Yuwei heard Li Mu's words and a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes.

"My senior brother told me that he hopes I can bring my men to work with him."

Li Mu lowered his head in deep thought,

"Can the Rannu attack the city? When I read the history of this world before, I learned that the Rannu tribes were numerous and not united. They usually just snatched some food from the border and ran away. They posed no threat to the Xing Dynasty at all."

Then Li Mu glanced at Li Ling'er again.

"Looking at Li Ling'er's angry expression, it seems possible. Also, the history books have more or less embellished the story. After all, Li Ling'er is the princess of Prince Yan's Mansion, so she must know more about the inside story."

After a moment, Li Mu looked up at Su Yuwei who was sitting cross-legged on the haystack, his mind wavering.

"But even if Su Yuwei is telling the truth, what her senior brother told her may not be true. I always feel that there are too many unreasonable things here. Why doesn't the emperor care about the collusion between the noble families and foreign races? Is the emperor willing to pay such a huge price to deal with the King of Yan?"

Thinking of this, Li Mu shook his head secretly and snorted in his heart.
