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

The two girls naturally didn't understand the classic exclamation used by Li Mu, but they roughly understood the meaning of the second half of the sentence. They all looked at him with confusion, not understanding what was wrong with him.

Li Mu had no intention of explaining to the two of them. He turned to look at Xiao Zhao and asked:

"These closed shops are all from the Lin family or are related to the Lin family, right?"

Seeing Li Mu's serious expression, Xiao Zhao did not dare to neglect him. He frowned and thought for a long time before speaking uncertainly:

"Xiao Zhao in the outer city doesn't know either, but I heard from other maids in the palace that the largest clothing store in the city was indeed closed yesterday."

Xiao Zhao nodded affirmatively, as if afraid that Li Mu would not believe her, and spoke in a more serious tone.

"That shop is indeed owned by the Lin family."

Li Mu immediately confirmed his guess.

"What a bullshit conspiracy! The Lin family is trying to run away."

Then Li Mu thought with some doubts,

"A family of the size of the Lin family is only competing for power with the Prince of Yan's Mansion. Even if they lose in the end, they will not flee with their entire family, unless..."

Thinking of this, Li Mu's eyes lit up slightly.

"Unless there is a bigger force that the Lin family cannot afford to offend. The only one bigger than the Prince of Yan's Mansion is the current emperor."

Suddenly, Li Mu seemed to have connected everything together.

"So everything the Lin family did before was just a smokescreen, a preparation for their escape."

At the same time, Li Mu was somewhat confused.

"Is the Prince of Yan's Mansion really in trouble? If all this is a setup, then I..."

Li Mu frowned, his expression solemn.

"Does Li Ling'er know about this?"

At this time, a slippery little hand held Li Mu. Li Mu looked down and heard Su Yuwei's voice ringing in his ears.

"Okay, we won't laugh at you. I just came down the mountain, so everything I see is new to me."

Li Mu looked up at Su Yuwei, not knowing how to explain, so he could only force a smile.

Looking at Su Yuwei's smiling face, something suddenly flashed through my mind, and I was shocked.

"Zonghengjia, by the way, if the Lin family was just throwing out smoke bombs, why would Senior Brother Su Yuwei cooperate with them? There is something else going on here."

"Let's go, go back."

Seeing that Li Mu looked unhappy, Su Yuwei gave up the idea of ​​continuing shopping and suggested.

Hearing this, Li Mu just nodded and walked towards the carriage with the two girls.

In the carriage, the two girls sensed that Li Mu was in a bad mood, so they intentionally moved closer to Li Mu.

Li Mu was not polite either. He took the two women's hands one by one, responding to Su Yuwei's rolling eyes and Xiao Zhao's shyness.

Suddenly, Li Mu seemed to have thought of something, and he exerted force with his palm.

"What better token of loyalty is there than the children of the King of Yan?"

However, at this moment, Li Mu looked up in astonishment, then reached out and pressed the back of the two women's necks, and the three of them lay down in the carriage together.

The next moment, the roof of the carriage and the walls on all four sides were cut in half by a huge force.

Li Mu touched the back of his neck which was slightly cold and thought to himself, “That was a close call.”

Before Li Mu could catch his breath, the frightened horses overturned the remaining carriages.

Li Mu, who was thrown away, hugged Xiao Zhao tightly, and then felt the push from behind. He was able to steady his body and landed smoothly with Su Yuwei.

Looking back, he saw the carriage that had been smashed into pieces and shuddered all over.

"You are a handsome young man, but you are a little thin."

At this time, a woman's voice came from the direction where the carriage was traveling.

Li Mu and the other two looked at it together.

The speaker was a dark-skinned, tall woman from a foreign ethnic group. Although she was dressed like an ordinary woman, her accent was obviously different from the official language of the Xing Dynasty.

There were three other people beside the woman.

One of them was at least two meters tall, with his upper body naked, revealing his muscular body. He had the fur of some unknown animal wrapped around his waist and a horse-slaying sword in his hand. He stared at Li Mu and the other two as if he was looking at prey.

The other person was a hunchbacked old man with wrinkles all over his face. His facial features seemed to be squeezed together, his hands were behind his back, and his eyes were dull, as if everything happening around him had nothing to do with him.

Li Mu recognized the last person at a glance. He was wearing a conical hat and a black nightgown. It was Su Yuwei's senior brother.

"In broad daylight, you're dressed like this, are you afraid that others won't know you're a villain?"

Li Mu complained in his heart, but he let go of Xiao Zhao and took a step forward, protecting the two women behind him.

At this time, the man in the bamboo hat suddenly spoke.

"Leave Li Mu alive, and kill the rest."

The muscular man was obviously a little unhappy. He looked at Su Yuwei and Xiao Zhao with an obscene face and said something incomprehensible.

Li Mu looked at the four people in front of him, and after a struggle in his heart, he spoke in a low voice,

"Yuwei, take Xiaozhao and go first. I'll be here."

However, before Li Mu could finish his words, three figures jumped out from behind him.

Su Yuwei held a long sword in her hand and stabbed at the man in the bamboo hat. Xiao Zhao raised the golden axe, jumped high, and chopped down the woman dressed as a commoner on the head.

What surprised Li Mu the most was that the groom, who had not said a word along the way, actually rushed towards the muscular man with a spear in his hand.

"No, where are you guys hiding?"

Li Mu secretly complained in his heart and was about to step forward to help.

He felt a cool breeze behind his head, and then he lowered his head to dodge subconsciously, then he threw a backhand punch behind him, but missed.

When the hunchbacked old man saw that his attack missed, he quickly leaped back, and a hint of surprise appeared in his originally lifeless eyes.

"Old man, you're still fighting so hard at your age?"

Li Mu looked at the old man in front of him with displeasure.

The old man obviously didn't understand what Li Mu said. He looked Li Mu up and down for a moment, then reached out and took out a dagger from his waist.

Li Mu frowned, looked at the dagger in the old man's hand, and cursed:

"Don't blame me for bullying the elderly, old man."

At this time, Su Yuwei, who was fighting with the man in the bamboo hat, saw the situation here and shouted at Li Mu:

"Don't be stupid, run first!"

"Junior sister, you still have time to care about others. None of you can leave today."

The man in the bamboo hat slashed at Su Yuwei's face with a sword. Su Yuwei had no choice but to raise her sword to block it, and had no time to care about anything else.

Hearing Su Yuwei's cry, Li Mu's eyes twitched, and he felt indignant.

"If I can't even take care of this scumbag, how am I going to bully men and women later?"

Li Mu stretched his muscles while walking towards the old man, muttering,

"Hold on for a while. I'll deal with this old man and then come help you."

Although the old man did not understand what Li Mu said, he saw Li Mu looking down on him, and a hint of anger appeared in his calm eyes.

The old man stared at Li Mu's footsteps, and suddenly disappeared from where he was. The next moment, he appeared behind Li Mu with a hint of mockery in his eyes. He was about to stab Li Mu's neck with a dagger, but he pressed it down slightly and stabbed Li Mu's back.

When Li Mu saw the old man disappear, his ears twitched slightly, and he slightly turned his body to avoid the dagger stabbed by the old man.

Then he changed his fist into a palm, turned around and pressed the old man's face.

The old man, who had been secretly rejoicing a moment ago, was about to flee when he saw Li Mu's big hand blocking in front of him.

Then a huge force came on his face, and Li Mu pressed his whole body back to the ground from the air.

Bang.

The old man's head made close contact with the ground, and the huge force raised a cloud of dust.

Li Mu raised his hand in disdain and waved it vigorously in front of him a few times. He looked at the cracks on the ground caused by the old man's head and started to mock him.

"You old man, you are really stubborn."

Then he glanced at the old man's right hand holding the dagger, and stepped down hard with his foot.

The old man's painful screams made the people fighting nearby look over here.

Li Mu picked up the dagger dropped by the old man, glanced at the motionless old man, hesitated for a moment, then turned and walked towards the direction where Xiao Zhao and the others were fighting.

At this moment, the old man, who was already dying, suddenly opened his eyes and reached into his arms.
