Li Mu saw Chen Changan's nervousness. He warmly greeted Chen Changan to sit down and poured him a glass of wine.
"Chang'an, I really have great kindness towards you. Even if you rescue my daughter from the gangsters and send her to me, I won't do anything to you."
Chen Changan said he didn't believe it, "Tell this to others. Old guy, that's not what you said when you abandoned your wife and children because you were greedy for glory and wealth. Now you tell me that Wanwan is very important to you? What do you think? Do I believe it?"
Li Mu's face changed immediately. He took a deep breath. No, the fire was not suppressed. He took two more breaths and took several deep breaths. Then he said expressionlessly: "If you don't know how to chat, you can keep your mouth shut." superior."
Ever since Li Mu became the son-in-law of the Xu family, the entire moat could be filled with people who died because they mocked him for abandoning Yueniang. Ever since he took over as Jiedushi, no one has dared to say such things to his face for a long, long, long time. Li Mu vaguely remembered that the last person who said such words was ten years ago. That person's whole family died in a mass grave, and their bones were all crispy.
As the saying goes, hit someone without slapping someone in the face, and expose someone without exposing their shortcomings. Unexpectedly, Chen Changan, a stupid young man, stabbed Li Mu in the lungs with his first words. Li Mu's teeth were itching with hatred, but looking at Ji Twelve who was only drinking, Li Mu could only hold back his anger, force himself to be calm, and force himself not to take it seriously.
"There were many things that happened back then that were unavoidable and uncontrollable. Children are not sensible and don't listen to the wind or rain. Things were not what you thought." Li Mu defended himself.
"It's good to eat soft rice. I want to eat it too. If you have no choice, you can give me the opportunity. Is there any daughter of the right age in the Xu family? Does she look good?"
Li Mu became angry again, and he slammed the table hard, "You are simply too much!"
Chen Changan was very surprised, "I'm speaking from my heart, what are you doing? I'm so jealous of you. You've taken decades less detours in your life. Alas, not only do you walk less roads, but you also climb faster than others." If you are an ordinary person, no matter how hard you try, he will never be as good as you."
Li Mu looked at Chen Changan suspiciously. He didn't look like he was mocking him. He couldn't help but asked doubtfully: "Are you serious?"
"Of course I am serious. My biggest dream in this life is to find a rich woman who can see through my stubbornness. She will love me, love me, protect me from wind and rain, and carve out a bright future for me. There are no restrictions on the conditions for a rich woman, and 60 is not too young. Eighty is not too old, I can do it." At this point, Chen Chang'an suddenly stared at Li Mu, "Your Majesty, this year is your Geng? You and her have been married for so many years, and are you still as affectionate as ever? Do you often quarrel? The seven-year itch. How many times? How many times a month..."
"Stop!" Li Mu suddenly felt flustered for some reason, "My wife Qin Se and I are in harmony and love each other so much. Moreover, my wife only loves me and she definitely doesn't like puppies!"
"Oh..." Chen Changan said in a long voice with regret on his face.
Li Mu said frightenedly: "If you have this idea, why not consider my family Wanwan, you and she are familiar with each other all the way. As my daughter, her background is not unworthy of you, as long as you marry her Li family, then we are our own, and everything you want can be easily achieved."
"Yue Wanwan?" Chen Changan shook his head like a rattle, "No, no, no, Yue Wanwan can't do it, I can't serve her."
Li Mu was annoyed again, "What do you mean? What's wrong with our Wanwan? How is she not worthy of you? You kid..."
"Ahem!" Ji Twelve was drinking alone, but as the topic became more and more biased, he had no choice but to give Li Mu a little reminder.
Li Mu suddenly woke up, "What the hell are you doing? Why are you promoting your daughter?" It's all my fault that bastard Chen Changan led me into the ditch by talking about things here and there.
"Chen Chang'an!" Li Mu said solemnly, "We will talk about these words later, let's talk about serious matters now."
"Marrying a man and a woman is a matter of my life. Isn't this a serious matter?"
"You..." Li Mu patted his head, "Listen to me, I have already received the news about you and Wanwan before they entered Longfei City. After you enter the city, your every move will be under my nose. , nothing can be hidden from me. And the information about you has already been placed on my desk, every detail has been omitted, do you want to take a look at your information? "
Li Mu was not bragging. He and Xu Yuanweng's son-in-law had been serving as military governors for decades together. Longyou Road had been managed by them for a long time, and Longfei City in particular was impregnable. Even if a strange fly flew in, Everyone in the Jiedushi government knew whether he was a male or a female.
Chen Changan thought that his whereabouts were unnoticed, but in fact everything he did after entering the city was under the surveillance of the Jiedushi Mansion. If not, the death of the eight tigers would not have been so peaceful. It's about the illegitimate daughter of Master Jun, what's the point of the death of a few gangsters? Only the Jiedushi's words can suppress all conflicts without a trace.
Chen Changan had no interest in his own information. The Seventh Prince was able to investigate him thoroughly back then. He was just an idle prince with such abilities. As a feudal official with real power, it was even easier for Li Mu to do this. . What puzzled Chen Changan was that Li Mu knew that he had brought his daughter into the city, but he pretended not to know, and set up a trap waiting for him to come to the door and do these messy things. Why?
"I don't need to look. I know what I've done. Why don't you just tell me what you want to do?"
Li Mu smiled and said, "I would like to express my goodwill to you on behalf of the third prince. Firstly, I would like to thank you for killing Ji Tianwen, and secondly, I would like to extend an olive branch to you."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!
These words confused Chen Changan, "Third prince? Isn't that the brother of the seventh prince? I killed the seventh prince, and he not only didn't kill me, but also thanked me? Old Li, is there something wrong with your brain or something wrong with my ears?" "
"Of course I want to thank you, Ji Twelve can testify."
"Yes, I can prove that this is true. Let's get to know Ji Twelve again, one of the four ghost guards of the third prince."
The royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty searched for talented orphans from all over the world. If there were no orphans, they created orphans, and then brought them back to Shenjing to train them secretly. The best ones were given the surname Ji, and they became the ghost guards.
The ghost guards are loyal to the royal family. Each of them has superb skills and an extremely important status. The prince who is favored by Emperor Longwu will be given a ghost guard. The more ghost guards he has, the more it proves that the prince is favored. degree.
The third prince Ji Tiancheng has four ghost guards, but the seventh prince has none. This can already explain a lot of things.
Chen Changan believed Ji Twelve's identity, but he still had doubts about the whole thing. He couldn't help asking Li Mu, "Aren't the third prince and the seventh prince brothers? As far as I know, they not only have the same father, but also Same mom."
Ji Twelve's expression was dull, and Li Mu hurriedly stopped Chen Chang'an and told him to stop talking, "Silence! Chang'an, I know that you come from the countryside and are wild and untamable, but you must respect His Majesty the Emperor!"
"This is your home, you have the final say." Chen Changan nodded indifferently.
One glance showed that Chen Changan didn't take Li Mu's words to heart at all. He even killed the emperor's son, how could he have any respect for the emperor?
Seeing this, Li Mu had no choice but to explain the reason to Chen Changan.
This matter has to start with the founding war of the Zhou Dynasty. In fact, after the tyranny of the Shang Dynasty was overthrown, the fourteen major sects that survived were the fourteen major sects. In addition to the current thirteen major sects, there was also a sect named Xiaoyao. . The Xiaoyao faction was the predecessor of the Great Zhou royal family. If the Xiaoyao faction had not been so powerful in the battle to overthrow the Shang Dynasty, where would it be Ji Chang's turn to become emperor?
Of course, the people of the Thirteen Major Sects are not so indifferent to fame and fortune, nor are they interested in the world, and have no interest in the court. Who doesn't want to be the emperor? Why did Ji Chang take over in the end?
Because they can't beat it!
The Xiaoyao sect's unique skill of "Dou Zhuan Xing Shi Shi" is unparalleled in the world. It can be called the best magic skill in the world. It can deflect all the enemy's offensives and imitate all kinds of techniques in the world. Unless it is suppressed by force, in terms of skills, no one in the world can rival it. At that time, Ji Changgong participated in the creation and fought alone against the heads of the thirteen major sects without losing. Everyone had no choice but to hold their noses and admit it.
So the Great Zhou Dynasty was established, Ji Chang became the human emperor, and the Xiaoyao sect transformed into the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty. After that, in order to create royal dignity, the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty erased all traces of the Xiaoyao sect, so that there was no longer a Xiaoyao sect in the world. However, the strength of the Zhou royal family was not damaged. With the resources from all over the world pouring in, it became even stronger.
The Thirteen major sects are trapped in the rivers and lakes, and they can only dominate the martial arts world. Once they cross the border and covet the court, it will cause an unpredictable and huge disaster.
The Zhou Dynasty has been stable to this day, and the royal family's intimidation plays an important role.
However, as time went by and the Zhou royal family enjoyed peace for hundreds of years, the situation gradually changed.
Real royal disciples will practice magical skills under the guidance of the Zongren Mansion. This is the biggest reliance for the Ji family to control the magical weapons. Dou Zhuan Xing Yi is the standard equipment of the Ji family. The deeper the Dou Zhuan Xing Yi's skill and the higher the level, the more promising it is. Only those who are incompetent will turn to other methods.
Like the Seventh Prince, he practiced hard and failed, not because he was not talented enough, but because he had no luck. In the end, he joined the Taishang Cult in anger and turned to practice the Taishang Dragon Transformation Sutra. Unexpectedly, it was actually practiced for him. He became famous at a young age and became famous in the world, reaching a high position in the local rankings.
But looking at the scenery, the seventh prince is actually a real laughing stock in the royal family.
What a magical skill it is to move the stars. With such a powerful magical skill in hand, among the many young talents in the royal family, only the seventh prince is on the list, and he relies on the Taishang Dragon Transformation Sutra. Isn't this strange? Are the other members of the royal family trash?
The answer is of course no. People in the royal family simply look down on the so-called Second Ranking of Heaven and Earth, let alone other sects in the world. Except for Dou Chuan Xing Yi, all other sects are crooked and cannot achieve great results. This mentality is actually understandable. A dignified second-generation super official did not pursue an official career but ran into society and became famous... If this is not a joke, then what is a joke?
The seventh prince has become a joke. It is difficult for everyone to meet him when he travels around the world, so he laughs at the third prince. Who makes you his biological brother? Why do you two share the same father and mother...
The third prince, Ji Tiancheng, hated Ji Tianwen with a passion. It was this man who made him suffer so much cynicism, but the key was not to get angry. We are all members of the royal family, who is afraid of whom? Those guys who always stand out, you can tell at a glance that there are people behind them, none more than those old rivals, all strong contenders for the throne. Under the imperial city, any disturbance could not be hidden from the wise and great Emperor Longwu, so the third prince could only endure it all for the sake of his own image.
He endured this for many years, until the news came that the seventh prince died tragically at the hands of a charlatan, and the third prince almost danced a disco on the spot.
Looking extremely sad on the surface, but actually almost laughing out loud with joy, the third prince then sent Ji Twelve to express his gratitude to the hero who killed the seventh prince, and also to recruit talents. Being able to kill the Seventh Prince under heavy protection, it is said that he killed a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, which shows how powerful Chen Changan is. Of course, the more such talents, the better.
After Li Mu explained the reason, Ji Twelve nodded aside, indicating that what Li Mu said was true and that they really came to express goodwill to Chen Changan.
Chen Changan had a look of realization on his face, but in fact he was quite dissatisfied and secretly alerted.
"Seeing that I've done some stupid things, you really think I'm a fool? Haha!"
Chen Changan is very talented in acting. Sometimes he believes the stupid things he does, but he just likes to act spontaneously and follow his temper. It's not that he doesn't have enough brains.
What is true freedom? It’s not that you can do whatever you want, but you can say no to anyone when you don’t want to do something.
Chen Changan is not free now because he cannot say no to Li Mu. Although he could see that Li Mu's words were insincere, he could also see that Ji Twelve had evil intentions, and he could vaguely see the trap behind this matter, but he still couldn't refuse because the system mission was forcing him to move forward.
If you want to find Zhao Yingke and complete the task, you must have the cooperation of Li Mu and Ji Twelve.
No matter how young Chen Changan is, he can still imagine that Ji Twelve's purpose is not simple. Perhaps the third prince is grateful to Chen Changan for killing the seventh prince, but he will definitely not really recruit Chen Changan, but will do everything possible to recruit him. A way to kill Chen Chang'an, to avenge his brother, to clear the royal family's reputation of shame, and to enhance his personal prestige.
A person's true purpose does not depend on what he says or what he does, but only on what his core interests are.
What are the core interests of the third prince? It is the supreme throne. What helped him ascend to the throne? Is it the huge prestige and reputation brought by killing Chen Changan, or the infamy and risks gained by protecting Chen Changan?
Li Mu and Ji Twelve deceived Chen Changan so openly. It has to be said that the stupid things Chen Changan did before successfully deceived the two of them. They really thought they could deceive Chen Changan.
As expected, Chen Changan didn't raise any objection and asked another seemingly irrelevant question.
"Since you came here with good intentions, why are you playing hide and seek and setting up a trap to scare me?"
