That night, countless people in the entire Cangyun Empire stayed awake all night. The news that Li Yubai had assassinated the imperial prime minister was like a huge stone smashing into the water, causing an uproar in the vast area in the eastern part of the fairy world.
Countless spies, carrier pigeons, and various channels for transmitting information were at full power. A sealed letter was sent to the hands of various forces. Strategists began to strategize, generals began to prepare for battle, and politicians began to argue with each other.
This pool of stagnant water was turned upside down by Li Yubai's sword.
"Brother Mu, go and have a rest. Sister Ruolan and I are here to keep an eye on you."
"That's right, you need to rest. A strong man who has perfected the alchemy realm has bloodshot eyes. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. We will notify you of any new news as soon as possible."
If it weren't for Ruolan and Lin Qingzhu's persuasion, Li Mu wouldn't have realized that his eyes were already sore. This is almost unbelievable for a monk who is practicing physical training. Compared with the physical fatigue and the huge mental pressure,
This is the problem that Li Mu needs to solve most now.
Li Yubai's situation is unknown, but what worries Li Mu even more is the situation in Qinglan City. If the city lord is accused of treason, those forces that were originally eyeing the country will definitely take the opportunity to attack. The seniors of the Yin Sect will not be born easily, so Liu Ruo
Ying and Li Yue will face great pressure, and even some forces that are friendly with the Li family will be implicated.
Although Li Mu does not understand politics, the many palace dramas and documentaries he has watched in his previous life all reveal the cruelty of power struggles. His friends, relatives and even domestic servants may become targets of hostile forces.
Qinglan City contains all of Li Mu's memories and many people he cherishes, and he never wants anything bad to happen to these people.
In the end, Li Mu stayed in the guest room of Jinxiu Pavilion at the forced request of Ruolan and Lin Qingzhu. Unable to sleep, he just closed the door to rest. There were thousands of thoughts in his mind. He vaguely felt that he had been dragged into
A huge conspiracy vortex, the originally smooth sailing life in the fairy world may be gone forever.
The morning sun shone on his face, and Li Mu, who finally fell into a deep sleep, opened his eyes. A short rest relieved most of his anxiety. After running the Tiansheng Jue for nine weeks as usual, he felt that his energy had returned to its peak.
In good condition, he then opened the door and walked towards the previous hall.
"Are you awake? Yes, it seems that you have calmed down. Let me tell you what I have learned now."
Ruolan, who was still sitting in the first place, was still as charming as ever. She had changed into a light red dress and looked absolutely gorgeous. Seeing the look on Li Mu, she had obviously figured out that worry could not solve any problem, so she smiled and handed over a few copies in her hand.
The letter densely packed with information was handed over.
"It happened at noon yesterday. Your father Li Yubai and Zhuge Jin made an appointment to meet at Tianxiu Mountain. No one knows why they met or what they talked about. About two hours later, someone saw Li Yubai coming from the mountainside.
He flew away in the air, his long sword covered in blood, and then reported to the nearby garrison troops. You must know that fighting is not allowed within the imperial capital, no matter how strong you are."
"Then the garrison troops came to Tianxiu Mountain to investigate, and found Zhuge Jin lying in a pool of blood in a pavilion. The vital parts of his chest were completely penetrated by the sword energy. He was holding a sachet tightly in his hand.
Embroidered with the character Li."
What happened was extremely simple, but the amount of information was huge. Li Mu frowned after listening to it, and after a while he said, "The sachet was made by my Aunt Liu, and my father has been carrying it with me all these years. Someone saw it."
My father's escape in the air shows that in the days since I left Qinglan City, my father's cultivation has passed the threshold of the Infinite Realm. The whole thing seems to be certain, but in fact no one knows what happened between my father and Prime Minister Zhuge.
What, this is the biggest doubt."
Ruolan nodded after listening to Li Mu's analysis. Now all the evidence points to Li Yubai killing Zhuge Jin, but what is the motive? No one can say it clearly. One of them is the prime minister of the empire, a highly respected minister, and several
Over the past ten years, he has worked hard to assist the royal family in developing the Cangyun Empire into what it is today. The other one is the city lord of a main city-level city-state, sitting at the port of the East China Sea. His cultivation has been amazing throughout his life, and he is a rising star in the empire.
These two people shouldn't have much interaction, but what happened? An imperial prime minister was asked to meet Li Yubai alone. You must know that in order to protect the low-level prime minister Zhuge, the royal family sent out royal guards.
The six commander-level experts of the army were responsible for guarding all day long, so the question became, where did these guards go that day?
"There are still too many doubts, and there is no definite news to prove your father's whereabouts, but the royal family's anger is inevitable. It is said that the imperial guards have been dispatched to impose martial law on the imperial capital. Everyone entering and leaving the capital must be interrogated. The Supervisory Office has also
Fully involved in investigation.”
Ruolan rubbed her temples. The current situation was changing rapidly. This matter could be said to really affect the whole body. But the most troublesome thing was not the pressure from the imperial family, but the condemnation from the people.
"Prime Minister Zhuge not only has a high prestige among the people of the empire, but he is also a famous teacher. His ability in governing the country and dealing with people has been recognized by many officials of the dynasty and the controllers of giant forces. It can be said that he has won accolades all over the world.
Li Yubai's move undoubtedly put himself and even the Li family in Qinglan City on the opposite side of the entire empire."
Lin Qingzhu on the side also interjected at this time. Ruolan and Li Mu knew what she was talking about. The Li family was deeply rooted in the Cangyun Empire and had many allies. It also had the support of the Yin Sect behind it.
, but it will also be a headache to face Zhuge Jin’s students and friends.
"I will contact Aunt Liu immediately to see the current situation in Qinglan City. The Liu family is the imperial military god family. As long as the Liu family is willing to mediate and support, the situation will not be the worst yet."
Lin Qingzhu's thinking was also very clear, and the suggestions he made at this time were recognized by everyone.
Faced with the current predicament, the three of them also decided to take it step by step. The Liu family has its own intelligence station in every city in the empire. Before setting off from Qinglan City, Liu Ruoying detailed the location of the family contact points in the empire's main cities.
After telling Lin Qingzhu, what she had to do at this time was to quickly learn about the situation in Qinglan City through the contact point.
And Li Mu is not idle either. If the situation in Qinglan City is brought under control, then his next plan is to go to the imperial capital. If he wants to solve all the mysteries now, the best way is to find Li Yubai and ask him face to face.
, but Li Mu knew with his feet that with the current situation, both the royal family and Zhuge Jin's followers must be frantically searching for Li Yubai, leaving him little time.
"There are a lot of things that need to be prepared, so we need to act quickly."
