"Hahaha, big brother really saw you right. In just a short time, you have already been promoted to two levels in a row. You have reached the peak of the Dan Formation Realm. You are so awesome. You will soon catch up with big brother."
Liu Long in the tent put one hand on his hips and slapped Li Mu on the shoulder with the other and laughed. This heir apparent of the Liu family, a fighting genius, slapped Li Mu, who was at the peak of his meat-refining stage, a little bit too much.
"Brother Liu, thank you. My younger brother is far behind my elder brother. The elder brother has already broken through to the Transformation Infant Realm. With his fighting spirit, I think he can even fight against opponents who have reached the Transformation Infant Realm."
Li Mu and the other three were very happy to see Liu Long again. There was naturally a different feeling between the partners who once fought together, and Liu Long has now completed a breakthrough in a major realm. With his talent for fighting, he has surpassed
It is not difficult at all to fight in a high-level battle, so what Li Mu said is true and is not deliberately flattering.
Liulong's camp was a temporary one. It was located on a hillside fifteen miles outside Cangyun City. It had a wide view and was covered by vegetation. It was very suitable for temporary hiding and camping. Li Mu discovered after entering the camp.
All soldiers, including the cooks responsible for logistics, are wearing armor, fully armed, and ready to fight at any time.
The defenses around the camp were also being built intensively. Groups of soldiers with a murderous spirit were shuttled between the camps. If you didn't know better, you would have thought they were launching a small war.
"Brother Liu, is the situation in the Imperial Capital very bad now? Is there any news about my father?"
Liu Long did not answer Li Mu's question immediately. Instead, he asked the three of them to sit down first, then moved away the other soldiers in the camp before speaking solemnly.
"The situation is not optimistic. After we separated in Lishui City, I came to the Imperial Capital and have been working in the military department. Although this is the headquarters of the Central Military Region, you also know the status of our Liu family in the army, so I quickly
He was promoted to the rank of major general."
"When the news of your father's assassination of Prime Minister Zhuge came that day, the government and the public were shocked. Huangfu Yi Longyan was furious. He immediately ordered the Central Military Region to impose total martial law on Cangyun City, and then issued a high-level arrest warrant offering a reward for the missing Li Yubai."
"I contacted my sister as soon as I received the news. Qinglan City belongs to the Eastern Military Region and is the territory of our Liu family. Plus, my sister and your brother Li Yue are in charge. The troops of the royal faction will not dare to do so in a short time.
Damn it, sister asked me to keep a low profile for now, and after you come, we can find a way to find out the truth together."
"So I first established this temporary camp in the suburbs in the name of a training team. However, starting last night, our scouts discovered that teams from the Central Military Region have begun to appear within a fifty-mile radius of the imperial capital. The spies I placed at the military headquarters also reported
Confidential letter, they already know that you are coming to the Imperial Capital, and they have also made you a target for arrest."
When Li Mu and the others heard Liu Long's narration, they were immediately troubled by such an urgent situation. They originally thought of entering the imperial capital to look for evidence, but now they are on the blacklist. With the Central Military Region's methods,
I'm afraid that as soon as I show my face, I will face arrest and interrogation.
"Next month is the date for the peace talks agreed between the Empire and the Penglai Immortal Kingdom. At this juncture, Zhuge Jin, the backbone of the talks, was killed. Both the war faction and the armistice faction are making a fuss about this matter, saying that Li Yubai is Penglai Immortal.
The spy of the country assassinated Prime Minister Zhuge in order to restart the war. The empire must strike hard and pay with blood. On the other hand, it is said that other countries bribed Li Yubai and wanted to ruin the peace talks."
"People from both sides were quarreling in front of Huang Puyi, but one thing is the consensus of all of them. Li Yubai must be caught and brought to justice on the spot. Otherwise, he cannot give an explanation to the people of the empire and Penglai. Cangyun
The empire’s face will also be lost, and it will become a joke to the entire fairy world from now on.”
"This is not only what the Huangfu family does not want to see, but it is also in the interest of all Cangyun Empire forces. Therefore, in this pursuit of Li Yubai, even several large sects who are not concerned with worldly affairs have sent disciples to assist the royal family. Among them
It also includes several top elders from the Yunlan Sect, and this battle can be said to be unprecedented."
Liu Long's words undoubtedly made the atmosphere in the entire tent a little more solemn. For a moment, the entire tent was silent. Even Xiaopi on the side seemed to feel everyone's silence and obediently found a corner to lie down there.
Outside the camp, there were the uniform footsteps of groups of soldiers, but no matter how powerful the Liu family's troops were, they would not dare to openly confront the many forces that captured Li Yubai at the foot of the imperial capital, not to mention that there were a large number of monks involved at this time.
This is by no means a torrent that a well-trained army can withstand.
"Brother Liu, we still want to go to the city, at least to Xiushan that day. My father will not disappear for no reason. I am afraid there will be clues left at the scene of the incident."
Li Mu, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke up and said that it was difficult for the four of them to find a way to break the situation outside the city. All they had to do now was to focus on the most difficult problem. As long as they could find a way to prove that Zhuge Jin
If Li Yubai hadn't killed him, then all the problems would have been solved.
So no matter what, Li Mu must go to Tianxiu Mountain. No matter what happened that day, there will definitely be clues left behind. As an elite detective who has watched hundreds of episodes of Conan, the Kindaichi Incident Book, and Detective Charlotte in his previous life,
Li Mu believes that no matter how sophisticated the real murderer is, he will definitely leave clues on the mountain.
"Well, we can only start with this aspect first, but we have to prepare a lot for how to enter the city. This place is not like Lishui City. You can get away with just a disguise. We need a reasonable identity to enter the city, such as a large chamber of commerce or
It’s like the entourage of a powerful force, so it’s not obtrusive.”
Liu Long quickly thought about the forces that could provide them with reasonable identities, but he was denied one by one. The Liu family did have many allies, including business forces, but in the matter of Li Yubai, he had no choice but to do so.
Be cautious. Once the news is leaked, he may not be blamed, but Li Mu and the others may not be able to tell.
"Brother Liu, what do you think of Jin Fuxuan? We can contact their branch in the imperial capital, pretend to be a caravan, and then follow them into the city."
Seeing Liu Long's frown, Li Mu also knew that this matter was of great importance. The current situation was extremely delicate, and any past allies might betray him for the sake of profit. Just when he was also at a loss, a ring on his hand gave him an idea.
, when Ruolan gave this ring to herself, she made it clear that as long as she showed it to the people in Jinfuxuan, she would get the greatest help.
"Sister Ruolan, I can trust you!"
Li Mu only hesitated for a moment in his heart and chose to believe Ruolan unconditionally. This was an intuition coming from deep within his heart.
Liu Long was startled by what he blurted out, and then he asked doubtfully, "Jin Fuxuan? This is a large-scale power across the immortal world. Do you have dealings with them? But this time the matter is special, I am worried about them..."
"No problem, Brother Liu, please help me contact their shopkeeper in the Imperial Capital. I have a way to convince them."
Seeing Li Mu's insistence, Liu Long didn't say anything else. He immediately wrote a letter, stamped it with the Liu family's signature, then summoned a soldier and asked him to take the letter into the city and hand it over to the shopkeeper of Jin Fuxuan.
The soldiers who received the letter immediately set off to enter the city, and Li Mu and Liu Long also borrowed an unused camp, intending to change their mood and buy some equipment from Brother Niu.
