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

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and a bright moon hangs high in the sky.

Li Mu touched his face, the burning palm print, and looked at Zhao Chuyi with resentment.

"It's not you that's being touched, why are you so excited?"

"So, the person you were following just now is the flower thief you mentioned?"

After listening to the black-clothed woman's story, Zhao Chuyi sounded a little anxious.

"In the past half month, several farmers' wives and daughters have gone missing, so I stay in the city every night."

As she spoke, the woman in black turned her head and looked at the house behind her, her eyes somewhat blank.

"Tonight, I finally met that man and followed him all the way. I clearly saw him enter this house, but when I caught up with him, he disappeared."

"Damn it! There are still such rampant thieves under the rule of my Xing Dynasty. Let's go find them together."

After hearing what the woman in black said, Zhao Chuyi pulled out the soft sword that she had just put back at her waist, and the anger in her eyes was no longer suppressible.

Li Mu watched the two of them hit it off, yawned, and turned away.

"Where are you going?"

At this time, Zhao Chuyi called Li Mu with a puzzled look on her face, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone.

Li Mu turned around and shrugged his shoulders.

"Go back to sleep, what else can you do?"

These words seemed to instantly ignite the anger of the two women. They all glared at Li Mu angrily, feeling that if Li Mu dared to take another step, the two of them would rush up and eat him alive.

Zhao Chuyi ran to Li Mu and said angrily:

"Didn't you hear what this girl said? Many women were kidnapped by thieves. How can you still be in the mood to sleep at a time like this?"

Li Mu raised his eyebrows and asked tentatively:

"Then I'll call the police? No, no, I'll call the police."

"It's useless. If the government was helpful, it wouldn't have taken so long without any news."

At this time, the woman in black also spoke angrily, her tone showing her contempt for the court without disguising it.

This time, Zhao Chuyi did not respond, but just looked at Li Mu with burning eyes, as if to say, "If you drive me away, I will never stop fighting."

"No, you believe everything she says. Do you have a brain?"

Li Mu couldn't stand Zhao Chuyi's gaze and had no choice but to speak.

"What I said is absolutely true. Besides, this matter is not a secret. You two can just ask someone and you will know that what I said is true."

Without waiting for Zhao Chuyi to refute, the woman in black spoke first, her tone firm, as if she was afraid that Li Mu would not believe her.

Zhao Chuyi also nodded vigorously, and looked quite cute.

Li Mu was overwhelmed, and he turned his gaze to the woman in black and said calmly:

"Who would dress like this and cover their face, if they are decent people?"

Then he winked at Zhao Chuyi.

"Aren't you going to Donglaiguan? Leave this matter to the government."

Hearing this, Zhao Chuyi frowned, as if she was weighing what Li Mu said.

At this time, the woman in black took two steps forward, walked up to Li Mu and the other man, raised her hand to take off the black scarf on her face, and said with a bow:

"Farmer, Xu Doudou, I wonder what your names are."

Zhao Chuyi saw the woman's face clearly, subconsciously stood in front of Li Mu, and said with a smile:

"Miss Doudou, just call me Chuyi."

When Li Mu heard the word "farmer", he immediately became interested. He looked at the woman's appearance and was stunned.

The woman had an oval face with delicate and three-dimensional features. Her skin color was yellower than Zhao Chuyi's pink and tender skin, a healthier wheat color. Her eyebrows were thicker than those of ordinary women, her nose was high, and her lips were red and her teeth were white.

Just when Li Mu was wondering whether the woman in front of him looked more like Reba or Nazha, he felt a sharp pain in his foot.

"Have you seen enough?"

The sound of Zhao Chuyi gritting her teeth reached Li Mu's ears.

"fifteen!"

Li Mu suddenly pulled his legs out from under Zhao Chuyi's feet, bowed to Xu Doudou, and spoke.

Zhao Chuyi was frightened by Li Mu's action and staggered, then turned around and threw herself into Li Mu's arms.

Xu Doudou looked at the two of them thoughtfully, then bowed and said:

"Miss Chuyi, Brother Fifteen, if you can lend me a helping hand, I will be very grateful."

"It's just empty talk. I'm not interested."

When Li Mu heard Xu Doudou's bland words, he directly refused.

Seeing the straightforward rejection, Zhao Chuyi stared at Li Mu, then something moved in her mind, she pouted her lips, reached out to grab Li Mu's sleeve, and shook it, her voice soft and sticky,

"Son~"

Seeing this scene, Li Mu's eyes widened and he thought

"This woman is sick, even if I am single for the rest of my life, I will never fall for your tricks."

Then, Zhao Chuyi desperately winked at Xu Doudou. Xu Doudou was stunned for a moment, then seemed to have made up his mind. He stepped forward and grabbed Li Mu's other sleeve. Just as he was about to speak, Li Mu interrupted him:

"Stop!"

After saying this, he pulled back his sleeves and said seriously:

"I'm not familiar with investigating cases, so I'd better leave it to professionals."

Li Mu paused, took a long breath, and continued:

"But if we act on our own and anger the kidnappers, causing them to kill the women, then it will be counterproductive."

I said this with my mouth, and I shouted desperately in my heart,

"It's none of my business. I can't save anyone! I'm just an ordinary person."

After listening to Li Mu's words, Zhao Chuyi fell into deep thought. Born into a royal family since childhood, she naturally understood that civil officials and military generals should perform their duties and not interfere with each other, otherwise there would be chaos.

Xu Doudou on the side snorted coldly.

"That sounds good. If the government does nothing, and we watch them die without helping, will we allow those women to be harmed by the thieves? I think you are just afraid. You have martial arts skills, but you are unworthy of being a man."

As he spoke, Xu Doudou covered his face with the black scarf and glanced at Li Mu with disdain.

"After all, those women have nothing to do with you, so you are so calm. If your relatives, friends, wife and daughter were killed in front of you, would you still be so calm and wait for the government to help you get justice?"

For some reason, when Li Mu heard this, Su Yuwei's figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Son."

He seemed to hear Su Yuwei's voice again, and when Li Mu reached out to grab her, the figure disappeared again.

Li Mu's lips trembled a little, and the veins on his forehead jumped. His mind kept flashing with every detail of his acquaintance with Su Yuwei, and then he laughed out loud.

"I really have double standards."

At this time, Li Mu naturally had the answer in his heart, and this answer tore off his last fig leaf.

When he was in front of the Prince Yan's Mansion and saw the corpses all over the ground, he was also passionate. He could also risk his life for others without hesitation. However, things did not go as he wished. He eventually left the Prince Yan's Mansion and escaped. Xiao Zhao, whom he trusted the most, did not leave with him as he wished.

He didn't blame Xiao Zhao, he only blamed his own incompetence.

So after leaving the palace, Li Mu always wanted to use a cynical personality to cover up his inner cowardice. He wanted to be more indifferent to this world. He felt that he did not belong to this world.

For a moment, Li Mu felt his mind was clear, and then he laughed like a lunatic.

“Hahahaha, cough cough cough…”
