1209. Assassination in the Dark Night

"If nothing happens, can't you accompany Mr. Mu for a walk?"

Xia Jing said with a smile.

Li Mu turned around, noncommittal.

"I remember that Mr. Mu said that if the Thirteenth Prince assassinated Ouyang Yi again, his life would be gone. Hehe, Mr. Mu has not yet fulfilled his promise." Xia Jing followed Li Mu. , walking with stumbling steps.

"It's just a casual statement to scare people, don't take it seriously."

Li Mu said calmly.

When Xia Jing heard this, she couldn't help but be stunned.

Li Mu gave him the impression that he was the type of mysterious strong man with outstanding strength, superb methods, and a man who always kept his word. This was true even today at the prince's banquet.

powerful.

horrible.

Calm and unpredictable.

This is Mu Mu.

But the answer Li Mu just said made Xia Jing completely unexpected.

Is it so perfunctory?

The four words "casually bluffing" have a ridiculous power that makes Li Mu's image in Xia Jing's mind suddenly fall from the high clouds. However, this does not disappoint her. On the contrary, for Li Mu, More interested.

"Young master, you are joking." Xia Jing narrowed her eyes, as innocent as the little girl next door, her eyes like fresh crescent moons.

Li Mu was about to say something else.

Suddenly, I heard a loud and crying sound coming from the front.

"Oh, what a sin."

"Isn't Wei Rulong from Dongxuan Immortal Sect too arrogant?"

"what's going on?"

"He was simply domineering. He insulted several female fairies and servants of Chunhua Tower, and even beat to death the boss of Chunhua Tower... This was already the tenth person he had beaten to death in just a few days since he came to the Imperial City. Alright."

"Who do you think I am, Huangji Cliff?"

"It's a pity that in order to ascend the throne as soon as possible and win the recognition of these large sects, the new crown prince has always swallowed his anger. He is too indulgent towards these envoys from external forces."

Indignant curses rang out.

Soon, a group of practitioners wearing green robes were seen rushing over from the street.

The leader was a young man, who looked to be in his twenties, with ordinary cultivation. He looked like his body had been hollowed out by alcohol and sex. His inner energy was empty, and his hair was disheveled. He laughed and said as if no one was watching on the busy street. : "Haha, yes, this Huangji Cliff woman also has a unique flavor, hahaha."

A group of immortals from the Dongxuan Immortal Sect roared past.

One of them, seeing Li Mu staring at them, turned around and cursed: "What are you looking at? Are you looking for death? Lower your head."

Li Mu remained silent.

After all, the group did not stop and disappeared at the end of the street.

At that moment, Li Mu felt that Xia Jing, the [Bliss Fairy] beside him, hid her aura and covered her face in time when she met the people from the Dongxuan Immortal Sect.

A cold smile appeared on the corner of Li Mu's mouth.

Whether in the mortal world or the fairy world, there are such things.

However, it happened to be an opportunity.

He gradually had some ideas in his mind.

I heard Xia Jing on the side, smiling sweetly and saying: "Young Master Rimu has not repaid you for your life-saving kindness. Today, I have prepared a few glasses of wine. I wonder if Mr. Mu can give me a favor?"

Li Mu stood still.

Turn around.

Looking at Xia Jing, he said in a very normal tone: "Saving you that day was like seeing a stray cat or dog fall into the quagmire and grabbing it casually. It didn't have any special meaning. My feelings for you I won’t make any comments on my work style, but..."

Speaking of this, Li Mu said very sincerely, "Curiosity killed the cat. I have no interest in you, so you'd better stay away from me."

The words have not yet finished.

Li Mu's figure disappeared directly from the spot.

The smile on Xia Jing's face faded slightly, and stayed there for a few breaths. Then, like 'the wind ruffled a pool of spring water', an even more proud and brilliant smile appeared on this almost flawless picture. Beauty spread across her face.

"I'm really becoming more and more interested."

She stood in the street smiling.

Pedestrians walking around, whether they were men or women, were looking at this woman who bloomed like a fire rose with astonishing eyes.

No matter where she goes, Xia Jing can easily become the center of attention.

…

An hour later, the new prince's reward was delivered to Xiaoyaoju.

Li Mu accepted it without any courtesy.

Immortal armor, immortal swords, etc., so-so, no more than second grade.

One thousand kilograms of immortal crystals is enough weight.

The Immortal Crystal that Li Mu obtained from killing Old Jinxian and the Immortal Crystal that was bequeathed by Canghai Sect Lu Haoran were all used up when fusing the [Fengming Divine Sword] and [Dark Gold Underworld Sword]. This Thousand Gold Immortal Crystal can probably be used Support for a while.

"Continue to practice."

Li Mu began to retreat.

With the Immortal Crystal, Li Mu's cultivation speed became very fast.

The last time he forcibly fused the sword, the majestic immortal energy allowed the energy in Li Mu's body to accumulate to the extreme. His body was like a balloon that was stretched to the limit and could hold more energy.

Li Mu's cultivation speed was almost visible to the naked eye.

Another month.

Li Mu actually reached the peak of immortality.

This entry can be said to be unprecedented.

For those peerless geniuses in the immortal world, even if they are from the top powers, it would take them three to five years to cross a large realm, and the difficulty becomes more and more difficult the further they go. However, it only takes a few months for Li Mu to go from flying immortal to the peak of banished immortal.

"I don't know why, but when I return to the fairy world, I have the illusion of a tiger entering the mountains and a fish returning to the sea. After practicing, it seems to be more suitable than in the Ziwei Star Territory and the chaotic world."

With the sixth-grade immortal weapon of [Zhu Immortal] in hand, Li Mu can now be said to have truly fought head-on and killed the Golden Immortal.

Continue to practice.

One month later.

The time has come.

The old emperor Huangjiya abdicated.

He issued decrees three times to pass on the throne to the new prince.

The new prince declined three times before finally accepting 'reluctantly' and willing to ascend the throne as emperor.

The whole country celebrates.

The day when he ascended the throne was undoubtedly the most glorious and glorious day for the Eighth Prince in the past.

He was high up, sitting on the throne, overlooking the awed and obedient faces below. At this moment, his life had reached its climax.

In addition to the courtiers of Huangjiya, there were also envoys from many other forces, as well as prominent and powerful people from all sides, who were all invited to watch the ceremony.

Among them were envoys sent by Donghuang Dynasty, one of the three major forces in Yuechuan Mansion.

In addition, the envoys of the Dongxuan Immortal Sect, which Li Mu had longed for, and the Yijian Sect, the two major immortal forces, were also on the list.

Li Mu clearly remembered the faces of the envoys from these two sects.

"By God's blessing, the new emperor summons..."

Next to him, the eunuch loudly announced the decree and rewarded the meritorious officials.

All the ministers who deserved merit were rewarded.

Li Mu is also on this list.

This time, he was directly promoted to the position of commander of the royal guards of the palace, with nine more soldiers to prepare for imperial inspection. He holds two positions, and his rank remains unchanged, but he has greater authority. He directly controls the defense and security of the palace, and has the right to patrol at any time. The nine gates of the imperial city are fortified.

As the most popular person in the Prince's Palace in the past, he can now be said to be the most popular person in the current generation.

The enthronement ceremony was grand and prominent.

The new emperor's ambition and will were implemented very thoroughly.

At this time, the eldest prince, the thirteenth prince and others had been deprived of all military rights, dispersed the retainers, and were forced to attend the ceremony to personally watch the new emperor's coronation ceremony.

It's a humiliation.

It is also a kind of showing off.

Li Mu was dressed in immortal armor, with a long sword hanging from his waist, standing at the bottom of the main hall.

From the perspective of others, Li Mu is the most loyal lackey of the new emperor.

The eyes that looked at Li Mu were filled with awe.

The entire enthronement ceremony went smoothly and peacefully, without any disruption or setbacks as expected.

The new emperor's control over government affairs exceeded many people's imagination.

After the ceremony, Li Mu was on duty.

Li Mu did not attend the various banquets and celebrations that followed. Instead, he dutifully led the guards to inspect all parts of the palace and made sure that everything was safe before returning to the temporary official residence in the palace. Pause.

Gradually, the night has deepened.

The entire imperial city was still immersed in a festive atmosphere.

At midnight, an angry roar came from the VIP Inn area.

"People are dead, someone was killed..."

Then, the entire VIP Inn became a mess.

The news reached the palace immediately.

The new emperor, who had just rested, was immediately alarmed.

"What happened? How dare you come and disturb me in the middle of the night?"

The new emperor said displeasedly.

"Your Majesty, the envoy of Dongxuan Immortal Sect was assassinated. The murderer is unknown..." Li Sun, the eunuch, reported back tremblingly.

"What?"

The new emperor, who was still wearing his nightgown, was so frightened that his scalp was numb. He stood up immediately, rushed out of the sleeping tent barefoot, and shouted sternly: "Summon Xiao Xiao for me."

Xiao Xiao is Zuo Zhongcheng of the new dynasty, responsible for receiving envoys from major forces.

Unexpectedly, such a big mess would happen.

Soon, Xiao Xiao entered the palace to see Jia Jia.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

The new emperor's tone was not very good.

Xiao Xiao knelt on the ground, frightened in his heart, but on the surface, he maintained his composure and said: "Your Majesty, I have sent people to investigate. This matter should have nothing to do with me, Huangjiya. The envoy of Dongxuan Immortal Sect has ended." Foreign enemies are the only ones who are hunted down.”

A trace of relief appeared on the new emperor's face.

Killed by a foreign enemy?

This should be considered a great blessing among misfortunes.

"But when the envoy was killed and the Imperial City was involved, we must also give an explanation to the Dongxuan Immortal Sect. Otherwise, with their domineering style, they may cause trouble again." The new emperor said.

Xiao Xiao said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will handle it properly."

The new emperor nodded and said: "Well, you have followed me for many years, and you have worked hard and made great achievements. I have to bear a lot of criticism and directly promoted you to a second-grade official. I trust you, but You also need to do more beautiful things and show your talents to other courtiers in order to convince the public, so that I can give you more."

Xiao Xiao looked like he was crying with gratitude, and said with all his might, "I can't repay my emperor's kindness by breaking my body into pieces."

But there was a chill in his heart.
