When eating in the morning, Xiaobai saw Li Mu's tired face and asked: "My dear friend, didn't you sleep last night?"
Li Mu said listlessly: "It's okay, I just had a nightmare one night..."
A woman's heart is like a needle in the sea, even the woman he imagined is the same.
Li Mu didn't know where he offended her, so he turned against her again last night and tormented Li Mu for most of the night.
If he didn't sleep for just one night, it would be nothing to Li Mu now. Even if he didn't sleep for ten days and a half, he could still be full of energy.
But excessive mental consumption in dreams will also affect reality. Last night, he fought his inner demon for more than 300 rounds, and even the use of mantras was much more integrated. Although he was a little tired mentally, he gained a lot.
.
After dinner, Li Mu and Xiaobai returned to the Yamen. Li Mu learned from Wang Wu that Her Majesty the Queen had sent another box of tribute pears early in the morning.
Li Mu was a little confused. How did the Queen know that he liked to eat pears? Yesterday, he distributed those tribute pears to everyone. He was actually a little bit reluctant to give them up. He didn't need to share this box of pears with them. He and Xiaobai took them home in the evening.
eat by yourself.
Afterwards, he returned to his room, changed into his official uniform, and went out on patrol while collecting telekinesis.
The practice after gathering the gods was much more difficult than he thought. It didn't take long for Li Qing to go from gathering the gods to supernatural powers. Although her talent was not as good as Li Mu's, she had already laid a solid foundation through more than ten years of accumulation.
.
Li Mu adjusted his thoughts and experienced the rapid promotion before. During this time, he was indeed a little eager to achieve success.
Although there are shortcuts in practice, pursuing shortcuts too much will also bury hidden dangers for oneself. If Li Mu's magic power was obtained through step-by-step practice like Li Qing, the inner demons would never have a chance to invade.
He felt that his practice was slow, but it was actually just compared to before.
In fact, at a young age, he was able to enter the third realm of cultivation. This kind of cultivation speed is definitely not slow, not to mention that he has not practiced for a long time. Most cultivators, after practicing for a lifetime, can only focus on concentration.
.
Li Mu originally wanted Xiaobai to stay in the Yamen to practice, but she had to follow Li Mu on patrol.
Li Mu didn't know if she simply wanted to stick to him, or if she was Liu Hanyan's eyeliner and wanted to follow Li Mu and keep an eye on him so that he wouldn't mess around with others.
Li Mu has been strictly abiding by Liu Hanyan's promise.
In the past two months since coming to Shendu, apart from Xiaobai, the only woman Li Mu has come into contact with is Mrs. Mei. Although plum blossoms can be considered flowers, Mrs. Mei cannot be counted.
If she were a few years older, she could be Li Mu's mother.
After leaving the Yamen, Li Mu walked along the main street and patrolled all the way.
Shendu is divided into areas by criss-crossing streets, called Fangshi. So far, Li Mu has only visited less than 30% of Fangshi.
There is no strict distinction between squares and cities. Each square is both a residential area and a commercial area. Within a square city, residential, living, and entertainment functions are all available, which can meet the daily needs of most people.
The functions of these markets are different, most of them are used for people to live together, and the remaining ones have their own functions.
For example, Nanyuan and Beiyuan, which occupy more than ten cities, are inhabited by dignitaries and court officials. They are close to the palace and have the best location, with beautiful scenery and quiet environment.
There are also some high-end shopping malls that are dedicated to the entertainment and entertainment of dignitaries, but ordinary people cannot afford them.
Some high-end brothels, music houses, dance studios, and restaurants will only appear in these markets. Unlike other markets, the brothels, madams and girls here will not stand at the door to solicit customers. When customers enter, they will not
If you can get straight to the point and go straight to the topic, you often have to talk about life and ideals first, which takes longer and costs more money...
As for music studios and dance studios, they are places where elegant people gather. In the capital of the gods, those who are qualified to be elegant are all wealthy people.
These are what Li Mu heard from Wang Wu. It is said that in some brothels, in addition to human women, there are even monsters and ghosts. As long as there is enough money, all kinds of people can be satisfied here...
The city of Gods does not have only one side. For some people, this place is hell, but for others, this place is heaven.
Anlefang, where Li Mu and Xiaobai are now, is a high-end market that integrates brothels, music studios, dance studios, and restaurants. There are not many ordinary people on the street, and there are endless carriages passing by.
Those who passed were either high-ranking officials or young officials.
The policemen of Shendu Ya actually like this kind of market very much, because the people who go in and out of this kind of market are all people with status, and many of them consider themselves elegant. This makes these markets themselves more orderly, and there are very few people.
When a case occurs, there is no need to pay too much attention.
Unable to gain more telepathy here, Li Mu still wanted to take root among ordinary people. Just as he was about to leave with Xiao Bai, a burst of melodious music suddenly came to his ears.
Li Mu stopped and stood on the street, listening carefully.
This was not the first time Li Mu had heard this piece. When he was in Beijun, Liu Hanyan often played it to him. When he heard the music, Li Mu began to miss her.
Xiaobai held the sword, listened for a while, and said, "Sister Liu has played this piece before..."
Li Mu followed the direction of the music and finally stopped in front of a music studio called "Miaoyinfang".
Li Mu had heard this name many times from Liu Hanyan.
She was sold into a music studio by her parents when she was a child. The name of the music studio was "Miaoyinfang". It was the place where she and Wanwan grew up. They lived in this place for more than ten years.
Standing in front of Miaoyinfang, Li Mu suddenly wanted to go in and see the place where they once lived.
When he walked into the band room, a beautiful girl came up to him and asked, "Do you two want to listen to music?"
Li Mu asked: "How many Miaoyinfangs are there in the city of God?"
The girl was stunned for a moment, and then said: "There is only one."
There is only one Miaoyinfang in Shendu, so there is no mistake in where Li Mu and Xiaobai came.
He smiled slightly at the girl and said, "Let's listen to the music."
The girl smiled and asked: "Master, do you have a musician you like? Do you want the musician to perform a solo for you in the Accord, or enjoy it with other guests in the hall..."
Li Mu owns a music studio at home, so he is naturally familiar with the business model here.
When coming to the orchestra, guests can sit in the hall and listen to the music according to the orchestra's repertoire, or they can individually order one or several musicians to play for them in the Accord. Of course, the latter is more expensive.
It often costs dozens of taels of silver, and sitting in the hall and listening to it for an hour can cost at most a few taels of silver.
The total expenditure of an ordinary family in a year is only ten taels. The consumption here is sky-high for ordinary people.
Of course, to the wealthy people in the divine capital, this is nothing at all.
Of course, Li Mu would not spend tens of taels to listen to a piece of music, so he decisively chose the latter.
The girl smiled and said, "Please come with me, both of you."
She led the two of them through a screen and came to a hall.
The orchestra arranges fixed repertoire every day and charges based on seats. The closer to the musicians, the more expensive the seats are. The seats in the back row and corners are the cheapest.
Li Mu and Xiao Bai chose a middle seat, ordered a pot of tea and a stack of pastries and preserved fruits, then sat there and waited quietly.
There were not many guests in the hall, only about a dozen, each with an extraordinary bearing, and Li Mu didn't recognize any of them.
He was only familiar with a few of the officials' children in Shendu, and he didn't know most of them. After all, many officials were very strict about the management of their children and would not let them stay in Shendu.
Li Mu naturally didn't have a chance to recognize him because he was acting recklessly.
He looked at the high platform in front of him. Not long ago, Liu Hanyan should have been on it. He played hard every day and saved enough money for her to redeem her life. Then he left Shendu and came to Beijun, where he met Li Mu...
The musicians have not yet come on stage and the performance has not started. The guests in the audience occasionally chatted with each other.
"Miss Yinyin's skills are becoming more and more mature. Listening to her playing is simply one of the great enjoyments in life."
"Miss Yinyin has indeed made great progress in the past six months. Many people come here for her."
"Since Miss Hanyan left, Miaoyinfang has been promoting Miss Yinyin. Within half a year, she has become the number one in Miaoyinfang."
"Girl Han Yan is the well-deserved number one musician in the capital of the gods. Unfortunately, she suddenly disappeared a year ago. There is no news at all, and I don't know where she went..."
"I also miss the smoking girl..."
…
Li Mu was drinking tea, but he didn't expect to hear Liu Hanyan's name from these people. Wanwan said that she was proficient in eighteen musical instruments and was famous in God. It was not an exaggeration at all...
Liu Hanyan himself had never shown off this, and Li Mu only knew about it now.
Not long after, a woman holding a guqin walked up to the high platform in front of her, and the discussion below gradually stopped.
Zheng……
The music of the piano reached the ears, making people's minds wander. Li Mu looked at the woman on the stage with a smile on his lips.
Although this was her first time meeting this girl Yinyin, she had heard about it many times from Liu Hanyan.
This caused Li Mu to feel an inexplicable sense of intimacy even though it was his first time meeting her.
There are also many small groups in the music studio. Yinyin and Liu Hanyan have a close relationship, like sisters. Li Mu looks at her as if he is looking at his sister-in-law.
After the song ended, the woman on the stage stood up, bowed to the guests below, and said softly: "Thank you all for coming, I'll take my leave..."
She walked down the platform and was about to leave with Qin in her arms. A young man sitting in the front row suddenly stood up and said: "Miss Yinyin, I come from Baichuan Academy. I have admired you for a long time. I hope you can give me a
Chance……"
Miss Yinyin hugged Qin, took two steps back, and said apologetically: "This young master, I'm sorry, Yinyin has a low status and is not worthy of the young master..."
The young man said: "I am not marrying you, you can be my concubine..."
Yinyin shook her head and said, "Sorry, Yinyin has no plans to get married yet."
The young man took a step closer and said: "What's the benefit of playing for others here? Follow me and you will have endless glory and wealth in the future. Do you have to suffer like this..."
Yinyin took two steps back and said hurriedly: "I like it here very much and have no intention of leaving."
A hint of anger appeared on the young man's face, and he reached out to grab her wrist, but someone held her shoulder down from behind.
Li Mu exerted slight force, and the young man was pulled behind him.
The young man said angrily: "What are you doing!"
Li Mu asked back: "What are you doing in broad daylight?"
After all, the public uniform Li Mu was wearing had some effect. The young man said, "I'm pursuing Miss Yinyin. What, is this illegal?"
Li Mudao: "It is not illegal to pursue a girl, but if someone else is unwilling and you force her, it will be different..."
The young man frowned and was about to say something. Suddenly, someone ran up to him and whispered a few words. The young man's expression changed, he glanced at Li Mu, and left in a hurry without saying anything else.
Although he was in the academy, he had also heard the name "Li Mu".
This is a man who is fearless and a complete lunatic. Although he is not afraid of being arrested by Shendu Yamen, he does not want to provoke a lunatic.
After the young man left, Miss Yinyin breathed a sigh of relief, put down her guqin, saluted Li Mu, and said gratefully: "Thank you, sir, for rescuing the siege."
"It is my duty to protect the people of Shendu." Li Mu smiled slightly, looked at her and said, "Besides, friends who smoke are my friends. If anything happens in the future, you can come to Shendu Yamen to find me."
Although Liu Hanyan had said that he would not be allowed to flirt with women in the capital of God, standing up for her own good sisters could not be regarded as flirting with women.
What's more, as a head catcher, Li Mu also has the obligation to protect the people of Shendu.
Hearing Liu Hanyan's name, Miss Yinyin was stunned for a moment, then she looked up at Li Mu and asked in surprise: "Do you know Sister Liu? Where is she now? Is she okay?"
Li Mudao: "She and Wanwan are in Beijun. They are both very good."
Hearing Wanwan, Yinyin had no doubt that the person in front of her knew Liu Hanyan. The expression on her face was a little excited and a little angry, and she said: "I didn't even say hello, I just left as soon as I said it. It's not bad."
What good sisters..."
Liu Hanyan had mentioned this matter to Li Mu.
Although her experience in Lefang was a bit bumpy, she had made a few close friends over the past ten years. She didn't want to face the scene of separation, so after redeeming herself, she and Wanwan quietly left without telling anyone.
Judging from Miss Yinyin's reaction, the relationship between them should be genuine.
After hearing the news about Liu Hanyan, Yinyin was obviously a little excited, with tears in the corners of her eyes. She wiped her eyes and said, "I left without saying anything. They have made me worry for so long. They are two weak women."
, what to do if you meet a bad person..."
The corners of Li Mu's lips curled up. They were not weak women now. One had a body of pure yin, the other was born with spiritual eyes, and they had countless treasures. I'm afraid bad guys are even more afraid of meeting them.
After a while, Yinyin raised her head and looked at Li Mu, wondering: "How do you know Sister Hanyan?"
Li Mu explained: "I was transferred from Beijun to Shendu just over a month ago. Before that, Hanyan Wanwan and I were in Beijun together."
Listening to his words, it seemed that he was very close to Sister Liu and Wanwan. Yinyin glanced at Li Mu a few times and asked curiously: "May I ask what your relationship with Sister Hanyan is..."
Li Mu smiled and said, "She is my unmarried wife."
"ah……"
Yinyin let out an exclamation, covering her mouth, with surprise and shock in her eyes. After coming back to her senses, she ignored Lian Qin and ran to the backstage quickly.
In the hall, there were still some guests who had not left. Most of them were stunned when they heard the conversation between the two.
"No, the smoking girl is his unmarried wife?"
"How is this possible? He must be talking nonsense!"
"Is he even worthy of Miss Liu?"
"The toad wants to eat swan meat, so it looks like this..., this thing, it looks amazing. Is Miss Liu that kind of superficial person?"
…
There were noisy sounds in Li Mu's ears. These people looked at him with extremely unkind eyes, and there was a sour smell in the air.
Soon, the sound of chaotic footsteps was heard backstage, and Miss Yinyin ran out with several women.
"Where where?"
"Where is Sister Hanyan's husband?"
"Hey, don't squeeze me, I'll take a look first..."
…
Several women ran out from the backstage and surrounded Li Mu, looking up and down, left and right.
"She looks pretty good and is worthy of Sister Hanyan."
"I'm just a bit young, at least three years younger than Sister Hanyan..."
"Hey, as a female junior, age is not a problem..."
Yinyin coughed lightly and said, "Be careful and don't be rude to your brother-in-law."
A woman looked at Li Mu and said in disbelief: "Are you really Sister Hanyan's husband?"
Li Mudao: "Not yet."
The woman said: "How can you prove..."
Li Mu waved his hand, and Liu Hanyan and Wanwan appeared in front of them.
"Ah, my brother-in-law knows magic!"
"It's Sister Hanyan and Wanwan. Why is this little girl Wanwan's face round again..."
"Is my brother-in-law a practitioner? No one dares to pester Sister Hanyan anymore..."
Li Mu's move completely shocked several women and confirmed his identity. They immediately became behaved in front of Li Mu.
"Hello, brother-in-law, my name is Miaomiao."
"My name is Xinxin."
"My name is Sixteen."
"Brother-in-law, just call me Xiaoqi."
…
Liu Hanyan entered Lefang very early. Some of the women at the same time as her have left, some took advantage of their youth to marry into wealthy families as concubines, and some simply became other people's concubines. Her age and
His qualifications are very high in the band.
After a visit to the music studio, he found a few more sisters-in-law, and felt their sincere emotions. Li Mu was also happy for Liu Hanyan.
He smiled at the girls and said, "Hanyan won't come to Shendu for almost a year. Then you can see her. My name is Li Mu and I work as an errand in Shendu Yamen. If you encounter anything,
If you're sorry, you can come to Shendu Yamen to see me."
A look of confusion appeared on Miaomiaoqiao's face, and she murmured: "Li Mu..., I seem to have heard this name somewhere."
Soon, she remembered something, and Yinyin and others also had shocked expressions on their faces.
"Brother-in-law is Li Mu..."
"Li Mu, who is cleaning up those officials' sons and causing trouble in the Criminal Department?"
"It was my brother-in-law who asked God to chop Zhou Chu to death, and he was still scolding Zhou Shilang in the Criminal Department. Oh my god, I was just outside the Criminal Department watching the excitement that day..."
Soon, little stars began to twinkle in the eyes of several people looking at Li Mu.
For more than a month, the people living in the divine capital may not have seen Li Mu, but they have definitely heard of his name.
Clean up the dandy, create a big fuss in the Ministry of Justice, force certain officials to amend the law, abolish the surcharge, and fundamentally seek the welfare of the people.
He avenged the wronged dead, provoked divine punishment, killed the evil young man Zhou Chu, and eliminated a great harm to the gods, and was witnessed by countless people.
Although they have never met him, they have long admired him.
Yinyinmei opened her eyes wide, looked at Li Mu, and asked: "Brother-in-law, are you really that Li Mu?"
Li Mu smiled and said: "There is only one person named Li Mu in Shendu Yamen."
"Wow, it turns out that my brother-in-law is so powerful!"
"Let's see who dares to pester and bully us in the future!"
Xiaoqi and Shiliu were the youngest, only 16 or 17 years old. They jumped up happily, took Li Mu's arm, and cheered: "We will also have a backer in the future..."
Xiaobai stood nearby, looking a little anxiously, but these people were Sister Liu's friends, so she could only watch anxiously.
Li Mu was not good at dealing with situations like this. He pulled his hands back and said, "Okay, I have to patrol outside. If you encounter any difficulties, remember to go to Du Yamen to find me."
After staying in the music studio for a long time, Li Mu said goodbye to the girls and left Miaoyin Pavilion with Xiao Bai.
"Goodbye brother-in-law!"
"You should come here often to see us..."
"We'll give you the best position, no money required..."
Yinyin looked at his leaving figure and said, "I didn't expect Sister Hanyan to have found a husband. I'm really happy for her..."
Xiao Qi said: "Brother-in-law is really powerful. I was outside the Ministry of Punishment that day and heard him scolding Zhou Shilang in front of the officials of the Ministry of Punishment. That's the Zhou family. No one in God dares to offend the Zhou family except brother-in-law...
…”
Shiliu's face was full of happiness and he said: "Hehe, it's good that my brother-in-law is powerful. Let's see who dares to bully us in the future..."
Although the status of musicians and actors in people's hearts is better than that of prostitutes who entertain people with sex, they are still among the humblest.
Although there are many dignitaries who come to the orchestra to listen to music on weekdays, few of them really think highly of them. As a musician, it is common to be harassed by others when performing. Among them, some guests will observe etiquette, and some guests
, the behavior was very excessive, and many of the less famous musicians were treated lightly.
There was even a musician who was defiled by a guest when he played alone in Accord. However, the guest had a great background, so the band had no choice but to let it go.
As musicians, they feel extremely insecure. In fact, they envy Sister Hanyan for being able to control her own destiny.
At this time, Xinxin suddenly remembered something and said: "The female detective next to my brother-in-law is so beautiful, even I can't help but like it..."
Miaomiao said: "She is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. Even those kinds of clothes can't hide her beauty. How can Sister Hanyan feel confident that such a woman can stay with her brother-in-law?"
Xiao Qi thought for a while and said: "My brother-in-law is alone in Shendu. We have to keep an eye on Sister Hanyan and we can't let other little vixens snatch away my brother-in-law..."
