Prince Xiao Heng of Jiujiang County was hosting a banquet. He raised his glass and gestured to a tall man in golden armor from afar, saying: "My dear, I would like to toast General Liu."
The man in golden armor had no expression on his face and said calmly: "All members of the Northern Army are prohibited from drinking alcohol."
The Prince of Jiujiang County smiled and said: "This is not a military center."
The man in golden armor said: "People are not here, but military discipline is."
The Prince of Jiujiang County apologized: "The little king doesn't know the rules. Don't blame General Liu. Come and get the good tea from my collection..."
Soon, the servants of the county prince's palace brewed the tea and respectfully brought it to the man in golden armor. The man in golden armor took a sip of tea and asked, "Does the prince have any grudge against the fox demon?"
Advertising, [app] is really good, worth installing, even Android and Apple phones support it!
The Prince of Jiujiang County shook his head and said: "I have never had any grudges."
"That's strange." The man in golden armor glanced at him and said: "If there is no grievance or enmity, why did they come to the county king? The fox tribe takes karma very seriously, and the county king has no previous relationship with them, why?
Will there be consequences?"
The Prince of Jiujiang County narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice: "General Liu's words are wrong. The monsters are our enemies. They want my life. Does General Liu still want to ask them why? Catch those people quickly."
Isn't that what the government and the Northern Army want to do to restore peace to the few monsters that have disturbed this county?"
The man in golden armor blew the tea and did not refute the Prince of Jiujiang.
The Prince of Jiujiang County is right. His duty is to guard the border counties, prevent monsters from causing trouble, and protect the people of Jiujiang County. No matter what the Prince of Jiujiang County does, no matter what the hidden secrets of those monsters are, he still has to catch those monsters.
This monster protects the prince of Jiujiang County.
After all, he is a general of the Zhou Dynasty.
After a brief silence, the Prince of Jiujiang County said with a slightly regretful tone: "Those three fox demons have not been seen for two days. If I had known earlier, I would not have made the county government want them in the city, and I would not have known about them.
Where are you hiding? If you run back to the Demon Kingdom, wouldn't General Liu's trip be in vain..."
The man in golden armor put down his teacup, his eyes moved slightly, and said: "The run was not in vain, they are here..."
As soon as he finished speaking, two loud noises suddenly came from outside.
"What's the sound?" Prince Jiujiang stood up, frowned, and was about to ask his servant when another deep voice sounded throughout the Jiujiang Prince's Mansion.
"Jiujiang County Prince Xiao Heng, get out!"
The voice came rolling in, and after the Prince of Jiujiang County was stunned for a moment, an extremely angry look appeared on his face.
In Jiujiang County, someone dared to call him by his first name and tell him to get out of the county prince's palace?
His face was as heavy as water, and he strode outside.
At the same time, at the door of the Prince's Mansion, Li Mu looked at the formation that enveloped the entire Prince's Mansion after he destroyed the door, and looked back at the two great ministers.
Without any verbal communication, a great priest raised his palm and pressed it down.
Bo...
After a soft sound similar to the bursting of a bubble, the entire formation disappeared silently.
When Li Mu walked into the Prince's Mansion, several figures rushed over from the opposite side. They were all the retainers of the Prince of Jiujiang in the Mansion.
"stop!"
"Who are you!"
"He actually forced his way into the county prince's palace and sought death!"
…
The three people at the front all had fifth-level cultivation. Facing the group of people who forced their way into the Prince's Mansion, they took action without hesitation.
Three invisible mana attacks came towards him.
A majestic momentum spurted out from Li Mu's body and swept forward.
The attacks of the three people were eliminated, and their bodies took a few steps back. Behind Li Mu, Hu Jiu couldn't help but exclaimed: "So strong!"
Fan Ji's eyes were a little complicated, and she had few rivals among her peers, until she met Li Mu, a man who would crush her self-confidence every time, and let her know what it means to have someone outside the fox.
The three powerful men of creation from Jiujiang County Prince's Mansion looked at the young man in front of them with frightened eyes. This man was stronger than they imagined. Then, they saw several familiar figures behind him.
He couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.
"Lord Sheriff!"
"The county magistrate and the county captain are also here!"
"Who is he and what is he doing here..."
…
The retainers of the Prince's Mansion are often active in Jiujiang County, and of course they know several of the chief officials of the county government. These people represent the imperial court. Since the vitality of the Xiao family in the divine capital was severely damaged, even the Prince of the County is much more polite to them than before.
But now, they are actually standing respectfully behind this young man, looking like they are coming with bad intentions...
The three of them were so fearful that they didn't dare to make any further moves.
At this time, Xiao Heng, Prince of Jiujiang County, had already walked out.
"Who dares to be so arrogant here!"
Xiao Heng walked out with a gloomy face. Before anyone arrived, the voice came first.
However, when he saw the figure at the door, his expression suddenly changed.
Although it was his first time to meet Li Mu, the Shendu clan had already sent a portrait, saying that this person was a favored minister of the Queen. He was extremely powerful in the court, and both the old and new parties were severely suppressed by him. His cousin
The prince of Nanyang County died at the hands of Li Mu.
It was precisely because of this man that the old party lost most of its control over the court within a year.
The clan warned him that if he met this person, he should hide if he could, and if he couldn't hide, try not to provoke him. Xiao Heng didn't take it to heart at first. After all, he was far away in Jiujiang County, thousands of miles away from the divine capital. So Li
No matter how long Mu's hand was, she couldn't reach him. He never expected that this person would actually knock on his door today.
Even though he was angry in his heart, Xiao Heng still showed a warm smile on his face and said: "Xiao Wang has admired Master Li for a long time and wanted to make friends for a long time, but he never had the chance..."
Seeing the prince of Jiujiang County taking the initiative to show his kindness, the expressions of Hu Jiu and Huan Ji changed slightly.
If Li Mu turns to the Prince of Jiujiang at this time, they will have no way to escape.
If Li Mu was originally with the Jiujiang County Prince, this incident was actually a trap for them...
At this moment, Fan Ji was thinking a lot in her mind. She shouldn't trust Li Mu so easily, shouldn't put herself in danger, shouldn't...
Until Li Mu snorted coldly and said to the prince of Jiujiang County: "Don't try to get involved with me. Are you familiar with me? Xiao Heng, you have committed a crime. I am here to bring you to justice on the order of the imperial court."
of!"
Xiao Heng's eyelids twitched, but he still pretended to be calm and said: "I'm afraid Mr. Li has made a mistake. I have always been impartial and law-abiding. Why did the court want to arrest me?"
Li Mu said calmly: "You have lost your conscience and ordered your followers to rob civilian girls for their sexual pleasure. How many innocent women have been brutally persecuted. Even if you are a prince and noble, I have to eliminate harm for the people today!"
Xiao Heng has already seen that Li Mulai is not good, and what happened today will definitely not be good.
His face suddenly changed, he pointed at the three Huan Ji people behind Li Mu, and said loudly: "Did you all see that the three monsters behind him are the three monsters wanted by the government? This person is the same as the monster clan.
Damn it, Jiujiang County Sheriff, you are actually helping a demon to do harm, why don’t you capture him quickly!"
The Jiujiang County Sheriff remained unmoved.
They have verified Li Mu's identity. The two old men beside him are also the strongest men of the worship department. They are accompanied by two high priests. If it is not the imperial court's instruction, who will believe it?
Even if not, there are two people from the sixth realm beside him, who dares to go against him?
Regardless of whether he was sent by the imperial court or not, the result would be the same. The local government could not and could not interfere at all.
Seeing that the Jiujiang County Sheriff and others did not move, the Jiujiang County Prince sternly shouted to his disciples: "Hurry up and kill this traitor who colluded with the demon clan!"
After receiving the order from the guests of the Prince's Mansion, some began to form seals with their hands, while others activated the magic weapons.
As soon as Li Mu raised his hand, a golden light flew out of his hand and turned into a golden rope, quickly passing through the crowd of diners. Several people only felt their waists tightening, and then they were tied into a string by this golden rope.
.
When the Prince of Jiujiang County saw this, his face turned pale, and he ran to the main hall behind him without hesitation, shouting: "General Liu, save me!"
The man in golden armor suddenly appeared next to him. The Prince of Jiujiang County finally saw the savior. He hid behind the man in golden armor and said, "General Liu, save me. These thieves want to commit rebellion!"
Looking at the man in golden armor in front of him, Li Mu did not make any move.
Li Mu couldn't see through this person's Taoism at all, which meant that his cultivation level had exceeded the fifth level. Judging from his clothes, he should be a strong man in the army.
In addition to the imperial army, the Great Zhou Dynasty was heavily guarded near the ghost realm, the demon kingdom, and the borders of the southern countries. They were responsible for monitoring foreign enemies and also had the responsibility of protecting the local people.
Li Mu took out his waist badge, gestured in front of the man in gold armor, and said: "Li Mu, from Zhongshushe, deputy commander of the Queen's Bamboo Guards, and commander of the enshrinement department, came to Jiujiang County to capture Xiao, Prince of Jiujiang County, on your Majesty's order.
Heng, please give way to this general temporarily."
The prince of Jiujiang County said loudly: "General Liu, don't listen to him. Look at the three monsters around her. He colluded with the monsters and caused trouble to the place. He should be punished for his crimes..."
The man in golden armor pondered for a moment, looked at Li Mu and asked, "Is there an imperial edict?"
Li Mu said: "No, this is His Majesty's oral order."
The man in golden armor said: "He is a prince and a noble. Without an imperial decree, I cannot let you take him away. Mr. Li can ask for an imperial decree when he comes to his senses. I only recognize the imperial decree."
Li Mu did not embarrass the man in golden armor. From a process perspective, what he did was right.
If an individual can take away a prince with just a few words, it shows that there are loopholes in the laws of the Zhou Dynasty.
But he was too lazy to go back to the capital of the gods. He took out the spirit snail, whispered a few words, handed it to the golden-armored general, and said: "Since the general doesn't believe me, let your majesty tell you personally."
General Jin Jia took the spirit conch and put it to his ear.
Hearing the voice coming from the spirit snail, he was stunned for a moment, and his expression immediately became serious, and he solemnly said: "Yes, um, okay, I will help Mr. Li handle this matter, and I will resign."
…”
He slowly took the spirit conch from his ear, held it in both hands, handed it to Li Mu, and said, "Master Li, keep this treasure. Your Majesty has your orders. This general will assist you in handling the case of the Jiujiang County Prince."
The only rescuer defected. The Prince of Jiujiang County was completely panicked. He grabbed General Jin Jia's arm and said in a trembling voice: "It's all fake. General Liu, you must not believe it. Don't believe it!"
Even though he was far away, General Jin Jia could feel how powerful the presence was on the other side of the spirit snail.
General Jinjia slowly backed away and said: "If the prince is innocent, you can refer to Mr. Li's book afterwards. I believe that the court will give you justice. Now the prince can rest assured. If Mr. Li does not have enough evidence, this general will
I will also protect you."
Don't worry, don't worry!
The prince of Jiujiang County was already in despair.
He knew what he had done. If this matter had happened a year ago, he would not be afraid. Even if the matter was exposed, there would be countless people in the city of God to protect him.
But it's different now. The Nanyang County Prince, his cousin, committed far less crimes than him. In the end, he was beheaded and his body and soul were destroyed. Once the affairs of the County Prince's Mansion are found out, his life will be over.
Already.
The Prince of Jiujiang County did not hesitate to crush a jade talisman in his hand, and his body instantly disappeared on the spot.
At the same time, outside the county city, the space was distorted, and his body staggered out.
He took out a flying boat and was about to escape when he suddenly discovered that a certain old man who had been standing behind Li Mu in the prince's palace was actually standing at the bow of the boat, looking at him with a smile and asked: "Where are you going?"
In a panic, the Prince of Jiujiang County didn't even care about Feizhou, and crushed a jade talisman again. The next time he appeared, he was dozens of miles away, but not far ahead, there was a figure waiting for him.
A man who looked exactly like the old man just now looked at him calmly and said, "Don't waste your efforts. If you run away today, how will I be able to hang out in the court in the future?"
…
The prince of Jiujiang County tried to escape, but was captured by two high priests.
This time, even the golden-armored general didn't bother to talk to him anymore.
The Prince of Jiujiang refused to admit the crime. Due to his status, Li Mu could not take any coercive measures against him before the evidence was conclusive. But the same could not be said for his disciples. Two high priests had already gone to arrest him.
, there will be results soon.
During this time, Li Mu and General Jin Jia chatted for a few words and became familiar with each other.
He also learned that this was one of the four generals of the Northern Army of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He came from White Deer Academy. In addition to the Forbidden Army, the Great Zhou Dynasty also had the four armies of the southeast, northwest and northwest. Among them, the Northern Army was the strongest and guarded here.
All four generals are strong in the sixth realm.
This is because compared to the three armies, the Jiujiang County guarded by the Northern Army is more dangerous. The demon kingdom has always been eyeing the Great Zhou, and the threat is still higher than the ghost realm and the southern kingdoms.
General Jinjia showed a smile on his face and said: "My brother once said that this year's martial arts champion is proficient in martial arts. With the same level of cultivation, even the most brave and skillful soldiers in the Northern Army may not be able to defeat you. When I see you today, I can't defeat you."
I know what he said is not an exaggeration.”
Li Mu asked: "Who is your brother?"
General Jin Jia said: "My brother was the Minister of War at that time."
He is a powerful general with two skills, and the Minister of War also taught him how to use telekinesis to gather momentum. Li Mu immediately stood in awe, cupped his hands and said, "Disrespect, disrespect."
After a few polite words, Li Mu remembered something and asked, "I have something I want to ask General Liu about."
General Jin Jia smiled and said, "It doesn't matter what you say, Mr. Li."
Li Mu asked: "Zhou Zhong, the former minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, was once sentenced to military exile because of a case. I wonder what his current situation is like?"
General Jin Jia shook his head and said: "He once accompanied the commander to the Northern Army, but he disappeared not long after."
Li Mu asked suspiciously: "Missing?"
General Jin Jia nodded and said: "He is very strong. He has achieved a lot of military exploits in just two months. I originally wanted to promote him to deputy general, but three months ago, he single-handedly wiped out a rebel
After entering the Little Demon Kingdom, he disappeared completely and was never seen again..."
Zhou Zhong disappeared, but Li Mu was not too worried.
Until now, he still doesn't know how much strength Zhou Zhong has hidden. A person like him is very strong and can endure. Everything he does probably has his plan, so there is no need for others to worry about him.
Li Mu and General Liu didn't chat for a while before the two great ministers came back.
Fan Ji, Hu Jiu and the others knew the Prince of Jiujiang and his retainers very well. They gave them suggestions on who should be arrested first and who should be arrested later.
Four of the ten evil cultivators are dead.
None of the remaining six escaped.
With the help of the two great ministers, several people confessed to the crimes they committed. The Prince of Jiujiang County was the chief envoy. According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it was enough for his head to fall off a hundred times.
General Jin Jia said: "I never expected that such a thing would happen in Jiujiang County..."
Fan Ji said coldly: "You all say that our demon clan is causing trouble to the people of Jiujiang County, but the fact is that our demon clan is persecuted by you humans in Jiujiang County. Don't you feel ashamed in your hearts when you talk about slaying demons?
"
Less than 10% of the victims rescued by the government this time were humans, and more than 90% were demons.
General Jin Jia and Jiujiang County officials were unable to answer Huan Ji at all. The laws of Dazhou protect the people of Dazhou, not the demon clan. Although this is a fact, they also have a steelyard in their hearts. It is they as living beings who maintain this steelyard.
Conscience.
The atmosphere in the room was a bit awkward. Li Mu smoothed things over and said, "Okay, you can't represent all monsters, and the Jiujiang County Prince can't represent all humans. Your views are too extreme. There are many monsters that harm people. The court will investigate and deal with them this time."
The Prince of Jiujiang County, doesn’t he represent our attitude?”
Fan Ji did not argue with Li Mu and said, "I want to see the Prince of Jiujiang County."
General Jin Jia said flatly: "It's impossible."
Although the Prince of Jiujiang County is a prisoner, he is also a prince and noble. Who knows what this fox monster will do after seeing him. Naturally, he cannot let this monster see him.
Li Mu looked at General Jin Jia and whispered: "General Liu, have you seen the miserable situation of those monster clans? You also have a wife and daughter. Think about it, Jiujiang County Prince, a scumbag, has destroyed so many of his own clan.
, if we don’t let others spit and slap our mouths in front of him, then we are not human beings..."
General Jinjia thought of that hell-like scene on earth, and a ball of anger arose in his heart. He closed his eyes and said, "Master Li is the imperial envoy, and you have the final say in everything."
Li Mu brought Huan Ji to the door of the cell and whispered: "I have only one request, don't kill her, otherwise it will be difficult for me to explain when I go back."
Fan Ji nodded and said, "I have a sense of discretion."
She and Hu Liu and Hu Jiu walked into the cell and walked out a quarter of an hour later.
Li Mu asked: "What did you ask?"
Fan Ji shook her head and said, "No, but someone did snitch on him."
Hu Jiu punched the wall hard and gritted his teeth and said: "That's that person. It's that person who killed the little snake. Don't let me know who he is, otherwise I will smash his ass and cut him into pieces."
Wan Duan!”
Li Mu patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "People cannot be resurrected after death, so I am sorry and accept the change."
Hu Jiu suddenly looked up at Li Mu and said: "Most human beings are hypocritical and shameless. They are greedy and cruel. You are a good person. Why don't you join our Mei Sect? With your ability, you will have a high reputation in the Mei Sect."
status……"
Li Mudao: "I also have a high status in the Zhou court."
Hu Jiu continued to seduce him: "The beauties of the Thousand Fox Kingdom are unparalleled in the world. You can marry many. Just imagine, aren't the beauties from the Fox Clan beautiful? Are the beauties from the Snake Clan not entangled? There are also those from the Cat Clan and the Rabbit Clan.
Of the dog tribe..."
"Stop, stop, stop..." Li Mu looked at Hu Jiu and asked, "Do you think I am that kind of lecherous person?"
Hu Jiu asked, "Isn't it?"
Li Mu coughed lightly and said: "What I mean is that although I am lustful, I don't want everything. I am loyal to the Queen. I live as the Queen and die as the Queen's ghost. You should give up on this idea."
.”
Hu Jiu thought for a while and said: "You don't like others, don't you also like Master Fan Ji? How dare you say that you don't like Master Fan Ji? If you don't like Master Fan Ji, how can you be so good to us?
"
Fan Ji's face darkened, "Fox Jiu!"
Li Mu thought that he was very detailed in front of Fan Ji and Hu Jiu, and would never let them think that he was a little snake.
But he still ignored a very important point.
In order to make up for the deception of Fan Ji and Hu Jiu's feelings, Li Mu has been very kind to them these past two days. Although he often criticizes Fan Ji, he actually indulges and cares for her to the extreme, even making exceptions to meet her unreasonable requests.
As for the real Li Mu, he was in a desperate situation when he met Fan Ji. In contrast, his personality change was particularly obvious.
He avoided all the small flaws, but exposed the biggest flaw.
Hu Jiu's question goes straight to the point. Fan Ji didn't realize at the moment that after returning, she might have some associations that Li Mu didn't want her to have.
During the days when he was pretending to be a little snake, he was ravaged by Fan Ji every day. He beat her legs, pressed her shoulders, and squeezed her feet. If Fan Ji knew that Li Mu was a little snake, Li Mu would really behave in front of her in the future.
He has no face at all.
He will never allow such a thing to happen!
There must be some way to explain it, there must be some way to explain it. Li Mu looked at Hu Jiu, an idea flashed in his mind, and he admitted straightforwardly: "Yes, that's right, I just like Fan Ji, and you discovered it...
"
Hu Jiu was stunned, and Huan Ji stood still.
Li Mu's expression became even more indifferent, and he said: "You also know that I am very lustful, and I wish I could have all the beauties in the world. How could I let such a beautiful little fox go? I originally thought that I would take this opportunity to do something to you."
Favor, when the time comes, Fan Ji will owe me another great favor, what else can she do to repay it except to pledge her body to me?"
Hu Jiu said in astonishment: "You, didn't you say that you want us to help you find evidence of the Jiujiang County Prince's crime..."
Li Mu snorted coldly and said: "I'm afraid you have forgotten who I am, the little Prince of Jiujiang County. I want him to die, so what kind of evidence do I need to find?"
Hu Jiu's throat moved and he swallowed. With Li Mu's power, it seemed that if he wanted to kill the Prince of Jiujiang County, he really wouldn't have to go to such trouble...
After Fan Ji came to her senses, she looked at Li Mu and gritted her teeth and said, "Don't even think about it!"
On the contrary, Hu Liu pulled down his collar, gave Li Mu a wink, and said: "Master Li, as long as you are willing to come to our Mei Sect, I will be willing to give you my life..."
Li Mu shook his head and said decisively: "You are too old, I don't want..."
After a short silence.
"Sixth Sister, Sixth Sister, forget it, you can't beat him..." Hu Jiu stopped the furious Hu Liu, looked up at Li Mu, and asked: "You don't like Sixth Sister, what do you think of me?"
There was another brief silence.
Li Mu gritted his teeth and said: "Huan Ji, Hu Liu, don't stop me..."
While hiding from Lei Lei, Hu Jiu said: "Life is short, why not give it a try? How will you know if you don't try..."
