Pick up a princess to be your wife

Li Xin didn't know how to continue the conversation when Li Ertie came in.

Li Xin immediately grabbed something and used it to cover the gap in her trouser leg.

“I just saw a burn on my sister-in-law’s leg. I got some herbs for her, and they’re already ground up. Applying them will relieve the pain,” Li Ertie said.

Unexpectedly, Li Ertie also noticed the burns on Li Xin's legs.

This roughneck is actually quite meticulous.

"Brother Ertie knows about herbs?" Li Mu was somewhat surprised.

“I couldn’t buy medicinal herbs in the mountains before, but I learned some from an old gentleman. Well, I’ll leave it here. Brother, come out for a bit later.” Li Ertie said, putting down the herbs and leaving.

"Can you apply it yourself?" Li Mu asked.

Li Xin glanced at the sticky, disgusting ointment in the bowl, gritted her teeth, and shook her head.

"Hey, you don't even have basic common sense. I have no idea how you ended up in exile for thousands of miles. Take your hand away, I'll apply it for you," Li Mu said.

Li Xin did not remove her hand.

"If you don't apply medicine, the wound will develop into a boil."

Li Xin then removed her hand.

Li Mu carefully applied the ointment to the scar and spread it evenly.

A cool sensation came from the side of my left leg, and the burning sensation was quickly subsiding.

Looking at Li Mu's focused expression and gentle movements, Li Xin felt as if a little deer was running wild in her heart.

"Brother Li Mu, I don't know anything. Am I a burden?" Li Xin asked softly.

Li Mu raised his head, revealing a warm, sunny smile, and reached out to touch Li Xin's hair.

"Then you'll be responsible for being as beautiful as a flower."

These words made Li Xin's face turn red all the way to the roots of her neck.

"Are you feeling better now?" Li Mu asked.

"Yes, it doesn't hurt anymore. This medicine works very well," Li Xin replied.

"You rest well, I'm going out to talk to Ertie for a bit."

Li Ertie squatted on the threshold of the main room, staring blankly at the moonlight.

Originally, Li Ertie was able to make a living and had no intention of going against Zhou Wanfu.

But no sooner had He Xianzhi been arrested than a fire broke out at Li Mu's house.

This is definitely not a coincidence; it must have been done by the Zhou family father and son.

Murder and arson are utterly heinous!

It is estimated that Zhou Wanfu learned of some things, so he began to take extreme measures to deal with the problem.

Li Ertie is in cahoots with Li Mu, and sooner or later Zhou Wanfu will also target him.

Unless they fight Zhou Wanfu to the death, they will never have a peaceful life in Luyang County.

The more Li Ertie thought about it, the angrier he became.

"Brother, I'm sure the fire was started by the Zhou family father and son. This time I'll help you fight Zhou Wanfu to the bitter end!" Li Ertie said through gritted teeth.

Setting fire to his brother's house is the same as setting fire to his own house.

“But we only have about ten people, so we might not be able to beat Zhou Wanfu in a firefight,” Li Ertie said.

Zhou Wanfu had over a hundred men, all armed with knives, making him a formidable opponent.

The Great Yan Dynasty had very strict control over weapons, and the sharpest weapons Li Ertie could produce were only kitchen knives, sickles, and woodcutting knives.

The more than one hundred knives in Zhou Wanfu's hands were all narrow knives.

Those were proper weapons, and their sharpness and lethality far surpassed those of household knives.

"If you're going to do something, do it thoroughly," Li Mu said coldly.

“That’s what I think too, brother. We have to win. Otherwise, all ten or so of us could be killed by Zhou Wanfu. Do you have any ideas?” Li Ertie asked.

"Catch Zhou Feng," Li Mu uttered three words.

Perhaps it's because he always carried the values ​​of later generations, and always assessed situations from a God-like perspective.

He felt that with his schemes, defeating the Zhou family was a piece of cake.

He never intended to kill or commit arson.

In his later years, living in a peaceful era, he would never resort to murder and arson so easily.

But this was ancient times, and he completely underestimated Zhou Wanfu's bottom line.

Since that's the case, then let's fight to the death.

He wouldn't be able to vent his anger until he personally killed the father and son.

If Zhou Wanfu arrested He Xianzhi, then He Xianzhi will arrest Zhou Wanfu's son.

"Do you have a plan?"

"Find a brother to pretend to be a servant of the Zhou family and lure Li Mu out," Li Mu said.

“That’s a good idea. But we don’t have any equipment, shouldn’t we prepare some in advance?” Li Ertie asked.

“I’m thinking about it.”

Li Mu is browsing Taobao.

We definitely need to have the right equipment, and it has to be better than the other side's.

But after looking at the prices of the cold weapons, he was almost numb.

This system is very powerful; it can sell not only cold weapons but also firearms.

But this price is truly outrageous.

There's no point in even looking at firearms; Li Mu can't afford a single hair of them right now.

In the category of melee weapons, a narrow sword costs 500 points, and a broadsword costs 1000 points. These two types of melee weapons are the cheapest in the system shop.

For armor, the cheapest set, Iron Armor, costs 1000 points and doesn't include a helmet.

Li Mu's current points aren't even enough to buy four of the most basic narrow knives.

However, it's absolutely impossible to do without weapons.

“Come on, come with me to Jubaoge,” Li Mu said.

What are you going to do at Jubao Pavilion?

Li Mu didn't explain, but asked Li Ertie to send two people to secretly guard the house, and then went out with him.

The news of He Xianzhi's arrest has obviously spread.

The manager of Jubao Pavilion gathered everyone together to prepare for the rescue.

At this moment, Li Mu and Li Ertie entered the Treasure Pavilion.

The manager felt displeased the moment he saw Li Mu.

If Li Mu hadn't pulled He Xianzhi to deal with Zhou Wanfu, He Xianzhi wouldn't have been captured by Zhou Wanfu.

"I thought you were hiding," the steward said coldly.

"What are you planning to do?" Li Mu asked.

"Of course we're going to rescue people, not parade them through the streets!" The manager said, his face full of displeasure.

"Do you have any weapons?" Li Mu asked.

Are there enough sticks?

"Trying to fight Zhou Wanfu with over a hundred knives while holding a stick? What's the difference between that and an egg hitting a rock?" Li Mu asked calmly.

"Did you come here just to pour cold water on our plans? If you don't dare to go, we will!" the manager said angrily.

"Yes, we need to go rescue the young lady."

"If you don't dare to go, then shut up."

Li Mu glanced around and said, "Since your young lady was arrested because of me, I will naturally rescue her unharmed. I advise you not to cause any trouble. Miss He is in Zhou Wanfu's hands. Even if you go there, and Zhou Wanfu tells you to kneel down, would you dare to lay a hand on her?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.

Although they complained about Li Mu, they could not deny that what Li Mu said was right.

The young lady was being held hostage, and they went over aggressively, but what could they do?

Do they really dare to disregard the young lady's safety and engage in a firefight with them?

Moreover, the other side has weapons. Although their numbers are about the same, their combat strength may not be on the same level.

If a real fight breaks out, they will definitely be the ones who suffer losses.

"Do you really have any idea?"
