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

Li Mu didn't pay attention to Li Ling'er's slander, but thought for a moment and asked:

"Where's Lin Zhaoxing? You won't let him go, will you?"

Hearing this, Li Ling'er didn't even raise her head and uttered two words in a light tone,

"died."

"Dead? Did you kill him?"

Li Mu looked at Li Ling'er suspiciously.

"This woman is ruthless enough. She is someone who can accomplish great things."

Li Ling'er waved her hand.

"It was the guard who went to Lingyin Pavilion with you that day. He said that when he just went upstairs that day, he saw Lin Zhaoxing flying out of the private room, so he punched Lin Zhaoxing a few times. When he found him later, he was already dead."

Li Mu thought of the two guards from that day. They were indeed quite impressive.

After thinking for a moment, he said to Li Ling'er:

"Does the Lin family know that Lin Zhaoxing is dead? What is their reaction?"

Li Ling'er didn't think it mattered. Since the relationship had already been ruined and she was caught on the spot, she might as well die. There was no evidence left that it was done by Prince Yan's Mansion.

"Logically, the Lin family should not be unaware of Lin Zhaoxing's plan. You returned to the palace in such a grand manner, but Lin Zhaoxing disappeared. The Lin family should know about it, right?"

Li Ling'er's tone was a little uncertain.

"How long will it take to receive news from King Yan?"

Li Mu thought for a moment and asked Li Ling'er.

Li Linger rolled her eyes at Li Mu, somewhat indignantly.

"You should call me father."

Li Mu curled his lips and complained in his heart.

"You can call me father-in-law, but I can't call you father at all."

Seeing that Li Mu didn't say anything, Li Ling'er was too lazy to continue arguing with him, so she continued,

"It will take at least two days, and we also have to be on guard against the Lin family intercepting us."

Hearing this, Li Mu nodded. He had never expected that the situation in Xing Dynasty would be so tense. It was too different from the prosperous times he had read about in the bamboo slips before.

Lin House.

The head of the Lin family sat at the first seat in the main hall, looking at the man in the bamboo hat in front of him with resentment.

"My son died, but you came back, Gongsun Guangda, don't you think you should give me an explanation?"

Gongsun Guang did not answer directly, but slowly walked to the side and sat down, then he spoke

"I was not aware of this incident at first. It was a decision made by Master Ling at the last minute. I only thought of going to take a look after I got the news. I was also worried that Master Ling might have an accident."

The head of the Lin family remained expressionless and snorted coldly.

"Mr. Gongsun is so calculating. He pushed the whole thing onto my son. Isn't Luo You from Lingyin Pavilion your man?"

Gongsun Guang sighed and said slowly:

"I really admire your son's method of dealing with women. Luo You has already secretly surrendered to your son, and I have been kept in the dark."

Gongsun Guangda saw that the Lin family's patriarch wanted more and refused to give in, so he continued,

"Now, I have completely mastered everything. All the arrangements made by my master in Jing'an City are just temporary measures. Doesn't Patriarch Lin consider the future?"

Hearing this, the head of the Lin family was silent for a moment before speaking.

"I am indeed at fault in this matter, but I will not let the Prince of Yan's Mansion off."

Gongsun Guangda saw that the head of the Lin family had changed his tone, so he stood up and bowed.

"The Prince of Yan's Mansion has long been a lamb to be slaughtered. How Patriarch Lin wants to deal with it will all depend on his decision."

The next morning.

As soon as Li Mu opened his eyes, he saw Su Yuwei dressed as a maid, standing in front of his bed.

Li Mu thought he had seen it wrong and rubbed his eyes vigorously, only then he was sure that he was not confused due to sleep.

Xiao Zhao and Su Yuwei, who saw this scene, covered their mouths and laughed at the same time.

"Weren't you taken away by Ling'er?"

Li Mu stood up and stretched, looking at Su Yuwei in confusion.

"She said that you saved my life and asked me to stay with you to repay you."

Su Yuwei saw Li Mu standing up and went forward to help him get dressed.

Seeing this, Li Mu subconsciously turned around and looked at Xiao Zhao.

Seeing Li Mu's eyes on him, Xiao Zhao nodded slightly, with an expression that said, "I taught well, come and praise me."

This made Li Mu speechless.

"What the hell are these women doing? Yesterday they were still shouting and yelling, as if it was a life-and-death struggle."

Then he paused for a moment while putting on his clothes, and his ears moved slightly.

"Heh, I was wondering when this girl would become so generous."

"What's wrong, sir?"

When Su Yuwei saw that Li Mu suddenly stopped moving, she thought she had done something wrong and asked in confusion.

"it's okay no problem."

Li Mu discovered that there were probably no less than twenty guards guarding the courtyard. He thought they were sent by Li Linger to wait for Su Yuwei to make a mistake.

Knowing Li Ling'er's little thoughts, Li Mu also let it go and continued to enjoy the service of the two pretty maids.

"One is cute and lovely, the other is cool and beautiful. This is how the second son of Prince Yan's Mansion should be treated."

Just as Li Mu was being served and groped by two pretty ladies, his hand on Su Yuwei's waist suddenly froze, and he turned to look outside the door.

"Can you please respect my privacy?"

As soon as Li Mu had the thought in his mind, Li Ling'er pushed open the door of Li Mu's room.

"No, I'm a man after all. Is it appropriate for you to barge into a men's bedroom like this so early in the morning?"

Li Mu looked at Li Ling'er at the door unhappily and secretly withdrew his hand from Su Yuwei's waist.

"Come to the front yard!"

Li Ling'er ignored Li Mu's complaints, left a few words, turned around and left.

Li Mu looked around at the two pretty ladies beside him, sighed, and followed them reluctantly.

As soon as he arrived at the front yard, he saw a long sword thrown at him.

Li Mu took the sword and looked at Li Ling'er in confusion. At this time, Li Ling'er was holding the gun in one hand, ready to go, and shouted to Li Mu:

"Draw your sword!"

Li Mu understood Li Ling'er's meaning instantly. He felt a little grateful, but then he looked at the sword in his hand, and then raised his head to glance at the spear in Li Ling'er's hand. He secretly complained in his heart.

"Bullying, isn't it bullying?"

Li Ling'er, who was far away, saw that Li Mu had not made any move for a long time. Being impatient to begin with, she took the lead in attacking Li Mu without saying a word.

Seeing this, Li Mu did not draw his sword, but directly raised his sword to block.

"Use all your skills."

Seeing that Li Mu was just blocking with his sword, Li Linger spoke.

Hearing this, Li Mu tried to perform the sword moves recorded on the bamboo slips, but every time he was halfway through, he would be interrupted because he had to dodge or block Li Linger's attacks.

With the sound of metal clashing, the two men retreated at the same time.

Li Ling'er stood with her gun in hand, looking Li Mu up and down with a smile on her face.

"Not bad, not bad, this sword technique should be the entry level."

Li Linger had also seen the sword skills that Li Mu had learned before. Although they were mediocre, they were just right for a beginner like Li Mu.

Li Mu was not happy at all after hearing this, and secretly complained,

"What, what, it's good, who are you mocking?"

Su Yuwei, who was watching the exhibition, was suspicious at this moment, thinking in her heart:

"He is hiding his abilities. His abilities are far more than this."

Xiao Zhao at the side looked at Lilim with admiration, with little stars in his eyes.

"The young master really dotes on Miss Three. He knows Miss Three is very proud and doesn't want her to embarrass herself in front of others."

"Taoism, well, Taoism focuses on internal strength. Now that you have recovered from your injuries, you can try your luck."

Li Ling'er wanted to remind Li Mu that he should not give up his internal strength, but then she remembered that there were people around and quickly changed her words.

"That's it for today."

Then he seemed to remember something, glanced at Su Yuwei beside him, and continued,

"Meet me in the front hall later, come alone."

Then he picked up his spear and walked away.
