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

Although Li Mu had his back to everyone else, Zhao Chuyi intuitively felt that something was wrong. She looked at Zhang Hanrui and couldn't help but frown.

Seeing that the two seemed to have reached some agreement, Princess Yan tentatively called out,

"Han Rui?"

Zhang Hanrui walked past Li Mu and came in front of the King of Yan and his wife, speaking in a cold voice.

"Just listen to Xiao Shisan. I will go with him to catch the Ran slaves who have infiltrated."

Although Princess Yan didn't understand where the name 'Little Thirteen' came from, she knew that it was referring to Li Mu.

At this time, the portrait of the Ran Nu woman was also delivered.

Li Mu took a look and whispered,

"He's a little dark, but he's pretty good-looking."

When Zhang Hanrui heard this, she passed by Li Mu and stretched out her jade hand at an angle that no one else could see and twisted Li Mu's waist.

Li Mu cried out in pain.

Everyone looked at Li Mu with puzzled expressions, and Zhao Chuyi ran to Li Mu and asked about his well-being.

However, all this did not escape the eyes of Princess Yan. She looked at Zhang Hanrui who walked out of the hall with some confusion.

Seeing that Zhang Hanrui had already left the hall, Li Mu hurriedly instructed Zhao Chuyi,

"Go call Shanshan, and tell them to come to the hall. Don't stay alone until I come back. Wait for me."

Zhao Chuyi nodded obediently and watched Li Mu leave, her eyes full of admiration for her as a little girl.

After the two of them left, the King of Yan frowned and looked at the princess, with a somewhat unhappy tone.

"We're just not going to do anything?"

Princess Yan nodded, pulled herself out of her thoughts, and said firmly,

“Han Rui won’t mess around with this kind of thing. It seems that this kid has some abilities that we don’t know about.”

"Find someone?"

Prince Yan asked somewhat uncertainly.

"Wait a minute, this kid has thought it through very carefully."

Then he turned around and shouted outside the store,

"Lord Zou, please ask all your people to gather in the main hall. We will wait here."

Then, a dark figure suddenly appeared at the entrance of the main hall, clasped his fists and said,

"The Princess of Yan is indeed as brave as any man. I was discovered by her as soon as I arrived."

When King Yan saw Zou Pu suddenly appear, a hint of shock flashed in his eyes. He tried to remain calm and not look back at his wife.

He didn't even notice Zou Pu, but unexpectedly the princess discovered him first.

A hint of cunning flashed in Princess Yan's eyes, and her pointed chin couldn't help but raise a little bit.

Of course she would not tell anyone else. She saw Li Mu's gaze just now, which looked up at the roof from time to time, and his eyes changed from vigilance to normal, and she guessed that there was someone on the roof.

If someone likes to hide in the dark, the person currently in Donglai Pass can only be an assassin or Anbing's man.

So she tried this small one and was quite satisfied with the result.

King Yan knew that Bingwei must have known about Li Ru's assassination, so he came back to protect Zhao Chuyi. He didn't bother to pay attention to this man. He leaned back, closed his eyes and pretended to take a nap.

----

Inside the city, in a private house.

Zhang Hanrui covered her little mouth with her jade hands, looking at Li Mu with an obsessed look in her eyes. She broke the neck of the last Ran slave without blinking.

Originally, she thought that Li Mu would show mercy to the Xiongnu woman who he said was pretty.

Unexpectedly, the first person Li Mu attacked was the woman. The sword energy directly cut off the woman's neck without any hesitation.

This made Zhang Hanrui even more convinced of Li Mu's feelings for her. Thinking of how Li Mu had struggled against his 'enemy' before, she felt happy.

Li Mu naturally had no idea what this yandere queen with a strange brain circuit was thinking. After counting the bodies on the ground and confirming that there were ten, he turned to look at Zhang Hanrui and said casually,

“I didn’t expect that this group of people would all get together. This saves us a lot of trouble.”

Seeing Li Mu looking at her, Zhang Hanrui was too lazy to pretend to be cold anymore. She walked to Li Mu's side and graciously wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.

Li Mu himself did not expect that things would go so smoothly.

Looking at the scattered corpses on the ground, I inexplicably had a bad feeling in my heart, but I couldn't tell why. After thinking for a moment, I cursed myself for being too suspicious.

He reached out and embraced Zhang Hanrui, then jumped towards the palace.

Not long after.

Li Mu looked at the entrance to the main hall of the palace, where all the maids and servants were standing, and couldn't help but sigh.

"This Prince Yan is kind-hearted and considerate, even taking care of the servants in the mansion."

King Yan looked at Li Mu and the other man who had returned in less than half an hour, and his heart could not help but rise to his throat. He kept watching them until they entered the main hall.

Without waiting for the two to stand still, he asked directly,

"How is it?"

Li Mu waved his hand, picked up the tea on the table, gulped it down, and casually stuffed two pieces of cake into his mouth, and said vaguely,

"solved."

Prince Yan stood up from his chair in a flash, then sat back down with a cry, turning to look at Zhang Hanrui in disbelief.

At this time, Zhang Hanrui had sorted out her emotions and nodded calmly.

The King of Yan was overjoyed and subconsciously reached out to pat the table beside him, only to find that the table had been broken into pieces by Li Mu. Then he cried out in surprise and laughed.

After Li Mu finished swallowing the cake, he saw that only the Prince of Yan and his wife, Zhang Hanrui and himself were left in the hall.

After thinking for a while, he looked at King Yan and said something bewitching.

"Old man, are you interested in the 20,000 Rannu troops outside the city?"

When the King of Yan heard this, his heart suddenly became hot, he slapped his thigh and said,

"Yes, let's go. This opportunity should not be missed."

Li Mu shook his head.

"I won't go. I need to have a good rest in the mansion."

King Yan frowned slightly. He originally thought that with Li Mu's presence, he could get twice the result with half the effort. But he also felt that this was his own business and there was nothing wrong with what Li Mu said.

So he nodded and said,

"Okay, Mu'er, have a good rest."

The Princess of Yan standing by was obviously unhappy, and her eyes when she looked at Li Mu were not as gentle as before.

As Prince Yan is so injured now, Li Mu, as an ordinary citizen of Xing Dynasty, should do his part to help Xing Dynasty. Besides, it is just a piece of cake for him.

Zhang Hanrui saw the look in Princess Yan's eyes and felt indignant. She said,

"The ten people who sneaked into the city are all first-level, and one of them is a master of inner cultivation. This is to ensure that Donglai Pass will not send troops directly."

Hearing this, the King of Yan and his wife looked at Li Mu at the same time and saw that Li Mu was still eating cakes.

The King of Yan simply stood up, walked to Li Mu, bent and straightened his legs, struggled for a long time, but still did not kneel down.

He really wanted to kowtow to Li Mu, but he felt it was inappropriate.

In the end, he could only pat Li Mu on the shoulder but said nothing.

He had this idea in mind. When the Ran Nu people invaded again next year, he would gather a group of people and carry out a sweep of the Ran Nu's first-level masters.

Although this move was dangerous, before that, the Prince of Yan was prepared to do his best to promote the marriage of Li Mu and Zhao Chuyi, and strive to complete the marriage before the New Year to confirm Li Mu's identity as the Prince of Yan. By then, Li Mu would not be able to refuse even if he wanted to.

Unexpectedly, Li Mu only went out for a trip, and in less than half an hour, he solved the thing that he had planned for seventeen months.

King Yan waved his hand, turned around and walked out the door.

At this time, Li Mu said,

"Old man, when you are on the battlefield, no matter what the Ran slaves say, just fight."

The King of Yan paused. He was so fond of Li Mu at this moment. He turned around and patted his chest to assure him.

"Don't worry, I will never let you down on this matter."

Li Mu saw that the King of Yan obviously did not understand what he meant, so he cursed himself secretly.

"There are too many fortune-telling stalls, and this guy has started to beat around the bush when talking."

Then he explained,

"I mean, if Ran Nuren told you, 'The Prince of Yan's Mansion was besieged by masters of the aristocratic family,' you don't have to care."

The King of Yan could not help but tremble, his mouth grinned even more wantonly, his heart filled with ecstasy.

"I found a treasure this time. Okay, I'll go fishing with you."
