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

Less than half an hour later.

Yanshan City, inner city gate.

"Xiao Zhao, go borrow two horses."

Li Mu looked at the guards at the city gate, thought for a moment, and said to Xiao Zhao.

Hearing this, Xiao Zhao trotted towards the guard, said a few simple words, and then saw the guard hurried away.

"Now I know I'm anxious."

Su Yuwei on the side looked at Li Mu unhappily.

"I'm tired of walking, aren't I?"

Li Mu stretched and spoke lightly.

Soon, Xiao Zhao came back with two black horses and handed the reins of one of them to Li Mu.

Li Mu saw the two horses from a distance and sighed in his heart,

"Horse reins, horse stools, and even horseshoes. There's no way for people to survive."

Then he jumped onto the horse and said,

"See you at the palace."

Hearing this, the two girls looked at each other, jumped on the horses, and ran out first.

Li Mu smiled and laughed at himself.

"Finally, I can be a dandy and ride a horse in the street."

But soon, Li Mu could no longer laugh, because he discovered that he couldn't ride a horse at all.

The horse under his crotch did not move. Just as Li Mu was about to give this disobedient guy a good beating, he heard Su Yuwei's voice.

"Hey, is our Second Prince enjoying the scenery? With his handsome appearance, if he were to walk around the city, he would surely charm all those ladies."

Li Mu was so upset when he saw Su Yuwei's shaking face. He raised his eyes to look in Su Yuwei's direction and saw Xiao Zhao's face was also red. It was obvious that she was trying hard not to laugh.

Li Mu pretended to be indifferent, shrugged his shoulders, and spoke helplessly.

"I'm not tired again."

Just as Li Mu was about to jump off the horse, Su Yuwei leaped in front of Li Mu, grabbed the reins, and after holding back her laughter, she continued:

"Hold tight."

Li Mu turned his head and looked at Xiao Zhao who was following behind him. He made up his mind.

"You must learn how to ride a horse. Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing for even a little maid to be able to ride a horse."

Soon, the three of them were getting closer and closer to Prince Yan's Mansion.

Li Mu suddenly patted Su Yuwei's flat belly and said in a serious tone:

"Something's wrong."

Hearing this, Su Yuwei pulled the reins to slow down the horse, and asked in confusion:

"what happened?"

"It's so quiet!"

After saying this, Li Mu closed his eyes and listened carefully to the movements in the palace in the distance.

Su Yuwei also felt that something was wrong and stopped her horse at a distance.

"There's no movement at all, go check it out."

After careful observation, Li Mu found that there was no movement in the palace, so he jumped off his horse first and turned back to the two women and said:

"Wait here, I'll go take a look."

After looking around for a while, he found that there was no one around, so he walked towards the main gate of the palace alone.

Looking at the tightly closed door of the palace, Li Mu felt more and more uneasy. He sniffed slightly, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he hurried forward to push the door open.

Suddenly, a foul smell of blood hit my face.

There were corpses everywhere in the palace.

After Li Mu carefully distinguished, he was certain.

"There are four groups of people!"

Among them, Li Mu, the palace's guard and servant, could be recognized at a glance.

"The man dressed as an ordinary citizen, judging by his skin color, should be with the three people who blocked the road earlier."

"These people dressed in Jianghu style are either masters of diplomacy or retainers of the Lin Mansion."

Li Mu walked to the body of a man in black and searched his body for a while, but did not find anything that could prove his identity. Then he stared at the blue clouds embroidered on the man's clothes and thought to himself,

"The weapons are the same, the only difference is the cloud embroidery on the clothes. They must be the emperor's men, but they died here too."

At this time, Li Mu heard footsteps behind him, picked up the knife next to the man in black, turned around and chopped back.

"It's us."

At this time, Li Mu heard Su Yuwei's voice and quickly withdrew his hand. He looked at the two disobedient women in front of him helplessly and said unhappily:

"I didn't ask you to wait outside."

Su Yuwei looked as if it was none of her business and glanced at Xiao Zhao:

"It was your maid who said she was worried about her master and dragged me here."

Li Mu then looked at Xiao Zhao behind him. At this moment, Xiao Zhao was looking at the corpse on the ground with tears welling up in her eyes.

Li Mu glanced at Su Yuwei unhappily and muttered,

"As if you're not my maid."

He ignored Su Yuwei and walked towards Xiao Zhao.

"It's dangerous here, go to a safe place and wait for me."

Li Mu wiped the tears from Xiao Zhao's face and advised her softly.

Hearing this, Xiao Zhao wiped away the tears on her face, looked at Li Mu with a firm gaze, and held the Golden Axe with a little force.

"Xiao Zhao wants to follow the Master."

Li Mu then realized that Xiao Zhao was the biggest beneficiary of Old Man Mu's martial arts experience. There were probably not many people in Prince Yan's Mansion who could be Xiao Zhao's rival.

He nodded slightly, turned to Su Yuwei and said:

"Go to the inner courtyard!"

However, as soon as Li Mu turned his head, his eyes turned white and a new picture appeared in his mind.

on the screen.

It was a pavilion in the middle of a lake. Li Mu stood outside the pavilion. A long sword pierced out from the pavilion and pierced Li Mu's shoulder.

The person wielding the sword was blocked by the roof of the pavilion. Only a pair of white hands could be vaguely seen, and the rest was not very clear.

Li Mu stood there in a daze, cursing in his heart,

"This is really a bummer, isn't it? My bird's-eye view can still be blocked by something. I won't even mention the veil last time, but isn't this mosaic too deliberate?"

Then Li Mu raised the long sword in his hand and swung it in the air in anger. When he saw the shape of the long sword, he was stunned for a moment and subconsciously said:

"Tang sword?"

Su Yuwei, who was walking in front, heard Li Mu's words and looked back at him in confusion:

"What Tang sword?"

Li Mu knew that he was going to be killed again, so he laughed and said while looking at the long sword in his hand:

"Nothing. I said this knife is quite sharp."

Su Yuwei only glanced at the long knife in Li Mu's hand, and then thought of Li Mu, a child who grew up in the mountains like herself, and explained:

"The army-breaking sword. The guards in the army and the capital are all equipped with this sword. Don't be fooled by its ordinary appearance. It is specially designed to break armor."

Li Mu thought about the scene in his mind before, didn't ask any more questions, nodded, and stopped talking.

Soon, the three of them were not far from the inner courtyard of the palace. Li Mu suddenly reached out to stop the two girls and sighed.

"It's right in front of us. We're fighting right now."

Li Mu looked at the inner courtyard that he had never set foot in, and he didn't know what to feel.

Before coming back, Li Mu, who originally felt like he was being used as a pawn, was full of resentment. But now he had to go in and fight for others. Li Mu didn't know what to feel for a moment.

Then he glanced at Xiao Zhao beside him, and thought of that arrogant girl who always wore red, who was obviously very cheerful but pretended to be aloof, and who was obviously not very smart but pretended to be confident.

Thinking of that naughty kid who admired me so much and was coaxed into meeting the great scholar with just a few words from me.

I thought of the bodies of the palace guards and maids that I saw before entering the door.

Li Mu's pace gradually quickened, his eyes became more determined, and he held the knife in his hand tighter.

In my heart, I despised the emperor of Jing'an City to the extreme.

"If the situation is set up like this, why don't you just stop trying to scheme like others and just get down to business?"
