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

Li Mu frowned and stared at Zhang Hanrui. He had actually guessed the answer a long time ago and just wanted to confirm it again, but he never expected that the answer would be like this.

Open your mouth in doubt,

"What is it? What would make you give up on killing me? So, this is the reward?"

Li Mu looked Zhang Hanrui up and down, his tone gradually becoming playful.

He felt a little disgusted with himself for having fallen in love with such a woman before.

Zhang Hanrui was about to speak, but she swallowed the words back. Only then did she realize that something was wrong in their conversation.

She didn't understand why she was like this. When she saw Li Mu's disgusted look, she felt like the whole world was collapsing.

"So, you can use anyone for your purposes?"

Li Mu felt that he had been deceived. If Zhang Hanrui had any true feelings for him, he would not have been able to say such words.

At this moment, there was only anger in Li Mu's heart.

"Me, Yuwei, including yourself!"

As he spoke, Li Mu raised his hand and put his fingers together, condensing a sword energy about an inch long at his fingertips.

"No, that's not the case!"

Zhang Hanrui stood up and rushed to Li Mu, staring at him with burning eyes. She put her snow-white neck in front of Li Mu and was also annoyed by Li Mu's scolding.

Li Mu looked at Zhang Hanrui's face, his raised hand trembling slightly, and the two of them just stared at each other.

After a long while, Li Mu cursed angrily.

"Cio!"

He pushed Zhang Hanrui away.

Zhang Hanrui suddenly showed a bright smile on her face, and said provocatively,

"What? I want to kill you, and I bribe you with myself, but you won't kill me?"

Li Mu panted heavily, glared at Zhang Hanrui, and said angrily,

"Why don't you just go away and wait for me to kill you?"

Zhang Hanrui chuckled, threw herself into Li Mu's arms, leaned her head on Li Mu's shoulder, and spoke in a charming voice.

"Xiao Shisan, I will never leave you for the rest of my life, unless you kill me!"

Li Mu's body trembled slightly, as if he was forcibly restraining himself.

Then Zhang Hanrui smiled and said,

"If you had done that just now, you would have regretted it."

"If you don't leave now, you will regret it!"

Li Mu growled, then reached out to push Zhang Hanrui.

Zhang Hanrui felt Li Mu's affection, and even in such a situation, without even hurting herself in the slightest, she couldn't bear to continue teasing him.

Then she put her lips close to Li Mu's ear, her breath was as sweet as orchid.

"Yuwei is alive and well. She has been waiting for you in Yanshan City. Who knew you were out there, a princess and your 'aunt'?"

Hearing this, Li Mu's brain seemed to be hit by Shan Shan's heavy sword. He stretched out his hand to push Zhang Hanrui to the front of the god, stared into her eyes, and asked,

"Are you serious? She didn't take poison."

Halfway through his speech, Li Mu seemed to remember something and froze in place.

At this time, Zhang Hanrui said,

"You don't even know whether the person is dead or not, and you asked Xiao Zhao to bury him. Alas, Yu Wei, that girl, really met the wrong person."

Hearing this, Li Mu realized that he had not checked Su Yuwei's pulse and heartbeat at all, and turned his gaze to Zhang Hanrui.

Before he could speak, he heard Zhang Hanrui's voice in a deep voice.

"Will I sacrifice my nephew's life just to kill a beast?"

Li Mu gradually calmed down and realized that there was indeed something wrong with the conversation just now.

Then he picked up Zhang Hanrui, threw her onto the soft couch beside him, and leaned over to press her down.

"Tell me everything clearly, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."

When Zhang Hanrui saw Li Mu's expression, she knew that now was the best time to explain things clearly. If handled well, their relationship might even improve.

So, he told Li Mu everything, including what happened to the original owner in Qingfeng Mountain twelve years ago.

Li Mu lay on the bed, supporting his head with one hand, listening to Zhang Hanrui's slow narration, thinking to himself,

"I almost got buried with that beast. Speaking of six years old, do people in this world develop so early?"

After Zhang Hanrui finished telling the whole story, she looked up at Li Mu, a sly look flashed in her eyes, and she asked,

"So, now it's my turn to ask you, who are you?"

Li Mu turned over and pressed on Zhang Hanrui, with a wicked smile on his face.

"I'm Li Mu, your man."

Zhang Hanrui saw that although Li Mu's tone was frivolous, his eyes were firm. She knew that this was not a lie and confirmed it.

"Your name is really Li Mu?"

Li Mu raised his eyebrows at Zhang Hanrui and did not answer, but the meaning was self-evident.

A trace of doubt flashed in Zhang Hanrui's eyes, and he said to himself,

"What a coincidence."

Li Mu lowered his head, pecked Zhang Hanrui's lips, and said slowly,

"There is one thing I'm not sure about. That day at Qingfeng Mountain."

Li Mu paused halfway through his speech, turned his head and looked outside the door, and heard the guard outside shouting,

"Sir, the prince asks you to go to the front hall. He has something urgent to discuss with you."

Li Mu thought,

"What's wrong with this old man? Is he so impatient to pass on the title to me?"

He shouted impatiently,

"I know, you go ahead."

Seeing Li Mu's expression, Zhang Hanrui knew what Li Mu was thinking. She quickly pecked Li Mu on the mouth and said with a smile,

"It seems that your punishment will have to be saved for later."

----

The palace, the main hall in the front yard.

King Yan looked at the man in front of him, who was wrapped in gauze, and then looked at the gauze on his own body. The corners of his mouth twitched, and he asked,

"How many of them came here to sneak into the city and hurt you like this."

"Ten people. The woman who hurt me was at least a first-level expert. It was Yun'er who saved me. She has never seen that woman before. She must be a newly promoted first-level expert."

The man who spoke was Li Ru, the eldest son of King Yan.

He is 1.9 meters tall, with a square face, and his brows do resemble those of Prince Yan, but he did not inherit his mother's good genes.

Prince Yan frowned. In recent years, there have been many first-class masters of Ran Nu, and they are getting younger and younger. This is obviously not a good thing for Xing Dynasty.

Even if one reaches the first level, there is still a possibility of death if one is trapped in a killing array of more than two thousand people on the battlefield.

But if there are too many such experts, assassinations will become very troublesome.

In the entire Donglai Pass, among the 200,000-strong army, including King Yan himself, there were only nine first-rank warriors, all of whom were external masters.

Just as King Yan was thinking.

Li Mu and the other man then walked out of the house leisurely.

Zhang Hanrui still looked as cold as before, like an iceberg, with an aura that kept strangers away.

Li Mu walked in front of the King of Yan, bowed slightly, and after a long pause, he finally uttered three words:

"Old man!"

After saying that, he walked straight to the right side of King Yan and sat down.

Li Ru, who was standing behind him, was shocked when he saw this scene. He pointed at Li Mu and shouted,

"How dare you speak to father like that."

As he said this, he was about to teach Li Mu a lesson.

Zhang Hanrui on the side tried hard to hold back her laughter; she had not expected Li Mu to behave like this.

Li Mu glanced at the dark-skinned man in front of him, who looked a bit like the Ran slave he had seen before. He asked the King of Yan in a puzzled tone,

"Your son? You also have Ran Nu's concubine?"

When Li Ru heard this, he thought Li Mu was mocking him, because his wife Bai Yun was indeed a daughter of Ran Nu.

He suddenly jumped up and punched Li Mu in the chest.

Seeing this scene, King Yan's face changed and he shouted hurriedly,

"stop!"

A hint of amusement flashed in Zhang Hanrui's eyes, as if he had finally waited for a good show.
