Soon, the initial pre-war preparations and deployments were completed. Li Yubai and Liu Ruoying left the Li family's residence with Liu Long and Lin Qingzhu. Their goal was to destroy the secrets of the city lord's palace and the Qinglan City army.
Eradicate and completely control both the military and political sides of the city, so that you can better respond to any eventuality.
Li Mu, on the other hand, took the remaining team members and scattered them in various corners of Qinglan City. Their mission was to confirm whether the large forces in the city had any traces of contact with the "Blood" organization. Zi Tong
The Venerable has been laying out the plan for decades, and it is impossible to recruit just one member of the Nangong family. If all these oppressive forces cannot be found before the war begins, then once the battle starts, the knife hidden behind will be a truly terrifying existence.
After simply dividing the area, Li Mu separated from his companions and came to the south of the city before dawn. Here, more than 70% of the large families in Qinglan City are gathered, and they also own more than 80% of the wealth in the city.
, if Zi Tong wants to instigate rebellion, the south of the city will undoubtedly be the top priority. Of course, what worries Li Mu even more is that the Nangong family's mansion is located in the center of the south of the city.
"That old man Nangong Bo has colluded with the Blood organization and has done so many evil things over the years. If I meet him again this time, I will definitely make him pay the price."
After finding a commanding height, Li Mujing calmed down and fixed his gaze on the extremely luxurious garden mansion below, with green tiles, red bricks, carved railings and embroidered phoenixes. The extremely luxurious mansion contained the ambition to subvert the empire. Nangong Bo, Nangong Wuqing,
There is also Nangong Qi, these people who once ignored Li Mu at all are no longer opponents. Even if the war does not break out, this time they come back and they will completely eradicate this evil family.
As the first ray of sunshine in the morning fell, the streets began to gain popularity. Most of the servants from prominent families got up early to start preparations for the day. Some carried bamboo baskets to buy food, while others washed horses and vehicles and waited.
He was traveling, but Li Mu also keenly noticed that the Nangong family's mansion was still quiet at this time, with the door closed tightly. Looking in through the high wall, he could vaguely see people, but it was different from the bustling situation of other aristocratic families.
In comparison, the Nangong family, which has always been high-profile, has actually begun to keep a low profile.
"It's weird. With Nangong Bo's personality, he must have some ulterior motive to suddenly restrain the disciples in the clan."
Li Mu, who knew that any abnormal move would lead to demons, flashed his figure and stepped out continuously, avoiding the eyes and ears of passers-by on the street. He turned around and entered the Nangong family's house. He skillfully put on the shadow cloak, and the whole person was in the Nangong family's house.
Completely disappeared under the mysterious power.
After observing the environment, Li Mu walked along the high wall of the courtyard towards the center of the mansion. Soon he came to an extremely gorgeous corridor. Along the corridor, he could see the distance.
Luxurious buildings everywhere.
"This should be the corridor from the backyard to the center of the mansion. There is no one at this time. It's so strange. Even if you have to hide your light, you still have basic living needs. Wouldn't it be easier to attract others?
Doubts?"
Li Mu, who was puzzled, quickened his pace, and finally met figures in the first side hall after passing through the corridor. They were two servants wearing servants' clothes, with their heads lowered and holding two jade basins in their hands.
There were some food remnants in the middle, which were obviously tableware that someone had just used.
"What do you think is wrong with the head of the family? We are all suddenly asked to stay at home. We can't survive for long just relying on the food stored at home. Those young ladies and young masters usually eat delicacies from the mountains and seas. Now we can only give them this hodgepodge. Why?
You can bear it, look, I just went to collect the dinner basin and got scolded."
One of them spoke, his tone full of confusion and complaints about Nangong Bo's decision. Even if they, the servants, made no mistakes, if their master was in a bad mood, they would definitely not be able to escape being beaten and scolded.
"Don't talk nonsense. You can do whatever the master of the house says. Do you think you have a long life? Didn't the master of the house say that you have to stay behind closed doors for these ten days? There is such a big thing, so what does it have to do with us servants?
It doesn’t matter, we still eat the simple meals anyway, and the ten days will pass.”
Hearing the scolding from his companion, the complaining servant stopped talking, and the two quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor, but this casual conversation made Li Mu frown.
"Ten days, Nangong Bo requested to be closed for ten days. The peace talks will be held in ten days. Is that guy Zi Tong going to take action on that day? That's not right. Penglai Immortal Kingdom is far away from Qinglan City. Even if the talks fail,
It's impossible to attack the city immediately, there must be something wrong here."
Li Mu, who was full of suspicion, knew very well that he had to find out the reason why the Nangong family made such a strange move. Nangong Bo was ruthless and cunning, and he suddenly took the risk of being suspected and closed down the entire family. It must have come from "blood"
They obtained information that they didn't know, and this information is very likely to affect Li Mu's plan.
Li Mu, who was eager to know the truth, relied on the cover of the shadow cloak to investigate the entire Nangong Mansion at extremely fast speeds. However, the result was as he expected. The only ones left in the manor were insignificant family members, such as
Core family members like Nangong Qingqing and Nangong Qi were completely missing, let alone the family head Nangong Bo.
"Since you have chosen to close your family, why would you hide somewhere else? Isn't this unnecessary? No, they must still be here, I just didn't find them. Check again."
Li Mu, who discovered the key, checked the entire Nangong family mansion again. This time he secretly mobilized the power of the Tiansheng Jue and maximized his perception. Unexpectedly, he actually discovered the clue.
There is an extremely huge jade statue placed in the main hall of the Nangong family. Its image is that of a long-bearded warrior with a long sword in his hand and piercing eyes. He is the ancestor who founded the Nangong family. When Li Mu's perception came through
When he opened the statue, he discovered that there was a cave behind it, and he could vaguely sense several groups of burning breath coming from behind the statue.
"It should be here, but where is the entrance? Do you have to break the statue to get in? No, this will definitely alarm the whole mansion. There is still no conclusive evidence to prove that the Nangong family colluded with the 'blood' and rashly
Action will only alert the enemy."
Looking at the huge statue in front of him, Li Mu was in a dilemma. Nangong Bo had extremely important information in his hands, and he probably knew the follow-up plan of "Blood", but how could he sneak it out without anyone noticing?
After taking it down, Li Mu's brain was running rapidly.
