1210. Cooperation
Because Xiao Xiao deeply understands a truth.
No matter who it is, under any circumstances, when he says something like "I still trust you", it means that, in fact, trust has begun to shake silently.
Xiao Xiao also knew that he had followed the new emperor over the years, done a lot of things, and knew a lot of dark spots. Once the new emperor wanted to separate the dark side of the past and establish his own new image, then his end would probably not be good. .
However, this is a little too anxious.
The cunning rabbit is dead and the lackey is cooked.
But now, the cunning rabbit is not dead yet, is it going to cook the running dog?
No, another explanation may be that the new emperor has found a more suitable 'lackey'.
The shadow of Mu Mu appeared in Xiao Xiao's mind.
The new emperor's trust in this man was a bit too much.
What purpose did he have at that time to help the new emperor and take this person into his account?
I thought Mu Mu was just a martial artist.
But now it seems that it is not just Wu Fu.
I am about to be replaced by this Mu Mu.
This speed was something he never expected.
Xiao Xiao had countless thoughts floating in his mind.
At this moment, the new emperor slowly spoke again and said: "Well, the matter is serious and we can't wait for a while. Let's go and set up a posthouse with me. I want to go and appease the people of Dongxuan Immortal Sect in person."
"According to the order." Xiao Xiao said.
The new emperor changed into his crown robe, accompanied by his maids.
He suddenly felt a little tired.
Envy heights when climbing mountains.
But when you really reach the top of the mountain, you will feel that it is too cold at high places.
After leaving the palace, the night was falling outside.
silence.
The new emperor suddenly felt something in his heart and asked, "Where is Commander Mu?"
A guard captain next to him said quickly: "Commander Mu has just passed his third tour. He should be practicing breath regulation in the official residence at this time."
"Huh? Isn't there only three night patrols in the palace? Are the three patrols over so soon?" The new emperor frowned and said in surprise.
The captain of the guard said: "This is indeed the previous rule, but Commander Mu said that now that His Majesty has a new imperial treasure, everything will start from scratch, and safety is the most important thing. Therefore, the rule has been changed, and there are six patrols a night, and each time he will lead it in person. When people patrol, they don’t dare to show any slightest care.”
"Oh, I really mean it."
When the new emperor heard this, he felt warm in his heart.
If everyone was like Mu Mu, who did not ask for credit or reward, but worked quietly, then why worry about the revitalization of Huangji Cliff?
This is the person who really does practical things.
"Go and ask Commander Mu to come and follow me to the post office area."
…
Posthouse area.
Dongxuanxianmen residence.
The Huangjiya Imperial Guards have heavily protected the entire post office area.
When Li Mu arrived with the new emperor, some order had been restored here.
But everyone in the Dongxuan Immortal Sect was plunged into great anger.
The deceased's name was Wei Rulong, the great-grandson of the great elder of Dongxuan Immortal Sect, and his status was not low.
"Dongxuan Immortal Sect must give an explanation for this matter." The young deputy envoy, who was wearing a green robe and with a face like a crown of jade, was the younger brother of the envoy Wei Rulong, named Wei Ruhu, pointing at Huangji Cliff The emperor's face said unceremoniously: "What kind of status is my eldest brother? Coming to attend your enthronement ceremony has already given you enough face and trust in you Huangji Ya. But what happened? Your people were actually drunk while drinking. After poisoning and sending assassins to assassinate me, are you going to start a war with our Dongxuan Immortal Sect?"
The new emperor's expression changed.
He turned to look at Xiao Xiao, with questioning eyes.
Wasn't it said that it was an assassination by a foreign enemy?
Why is there still poison?
Xiao Xiao's heart trembled.
Why is there such a thing?
A trusted official next to him saw something was wrong and hurriedly stepped forward and asked in a trembling voice: "Mr. Wei, that's wrong. Didn't I say before that it was an assassin who did it? Why was it poisoned again?"
Wei Ruhu said sternly: "This is the most despicable thing about you. You first poisoned me and greatly reduced my brother's strength before he was assassinated by an assassin... I warn you, you'd better give me an explanation, otherwise, wait for Dongxuan Immortal Let’s start a war with Huangjiya.”
"What evidence is there about poisoning?" Li Mu suddenly asked.
He was also wondering.
Wei Rulong was indeed killed by him.
At that time, Yuan Hou changed into Li Mu and led the palace guards on a night patrol. Li Mu went out of the palace and directly killed Wei Rulong, the envoy of the Dongxuan Immortal Sect.
The thing is, he didn't poison him.
Wei Ruhu glanced at Li Mu and knew that this person was the most favored person by the new emperor of Huangjiya, but he didn't take it seriously. He snorted coldly and said: "My eldest brother is bleeding from all his orifices and the poison has entered his heart. Dantian Jimo was poisoned by the secret poison of your Huangjiya royal family [Ink Jade Crown]. The evidence is conclusive, am I going to frame you again?"
After some inspection.
The face of the new emperor of Huangji Cliff was gloomy, like frost.
Wei Rulong's corpse did indeed contain the poison of [Black Jade Crown].
And his fatal injury was a ray of weird and terrifying knife intent, which shattered the sea of consciousness, heart veins, dantian and soul.
The problem is troublesome.
Regardless of the fatal injury, the poison of [Black Jade Crown] is difficult to explain.
This is the secret poison of the Huangjiya royal family. This is the only family, and there is no other branch.
"check."
The new emperor looked at Xiao Xiao with a face as cold as frost.
Xiao Xiao's heart was filled with inexplicable horror.
Things were countless times more complicated than he imagined.
"I obey the decree."
He bowed.
Turning around, Xiao Xiao said to Wei Rulong again: "Mr. Wei, I am afraid that this matter is caused by people with ulterior motives who are plotting secretly to sow discord between Huangjiya and the Dongxuan Immortal Sect. Just imagine, if Huangjiya wants to Why do you have to use the poison of [Mo Yu Guan] to murder Mr. Wei Rulong? Isn’t it self-defeating?”
"This..." Wei Ruhu hesitated slightly in his heart: "What you said makes sense, but no matter what, people died on your Huangji Cliff. This matter has been revealed to the heavens, and you also have unshirkable responsibilities."
Xiao Xiao nodded repeatedly and said: "This is natural. Please rest assured that I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter and give an explanation to the Dongxuan Immortal Sect."
Wei Ruhu gritted his teeth and said coldly: "Okay, I will only give you three days. If nothing can be found within three days, I will take my eldest brother's body back to Dongxuan Immortal Sect. At that time, my grandfather will come down in anger and It’s not that simple anymore.”
This party is talking——
Boom!
Boom!
Suddenly there was another loud boom in the distance, followed by screams, and then roars.
The majestic energy exploded.
The weird explosion energy light waves were extremely dazzling in the night sky.
"What's going on?"
The new emperor was furious, as if a volcano was erupting in his chest, and he looked sideways.
After a while, the guards came to report.
"Your Majesty, an assassin attacked the Yijian Sect's posthouse, killing dozens of Yijian Sect disciples and then escaping..." The guard who reported the report spoke in a trembling voice.
This is under the emperor's nose.
This is what happened to the connection.
"What? How could such a thing happen?"
The new emperor was furious when he heard this.
He looked at Xiao Xiao.
At this time, Xiao Xiao was extremely frightened and angry.
He is responsible for receiving envoys from major immortal sects and forces, as well as related security matters. For the new emperor, inheriting the throne and gaining recognition from the major forces are the first and most important things, even more important than the court. The attachment of internal and external forces is even more important.
but now……
There were unexpectedly powerful missions that were attacked one after another.
Moreover, it is also a big force like Dongxuan Immortal Sect and Yijian Sect.
"Your Majesty, this... I... I don't know. I will go find out immediately."
Xiao Xiao vaguely felt that a web of conspiracy was coming slowly.
Maybe not just for yourself.
He is just the first to bear the brunt.
…
…
"Who could have poisoned me?"
After Li Mu returned to [Xiaoyaoju], he had been thinking about this issue in his mind.
No wonder Wei Rulong's resistance was weak when he took action, not as good as Feixian. It turned out that he had been poisoned before he took action.
In other words, even if he didn't take action at that time, Wei Rulong would soon be poisoned and die.
What was the purpose of the person who assassinated Wei Rulong?
Li Mu felt that this matter was very strange.
After a while, Yuan Ho came back quietly.
"Sir, Yi Jian Sect was on guard and only killed a few ordinary disciples. Jian Xue, the envoy of Yi Jian Sect, was slightly injured and is not dead."
Yuan Hou said with a guilty look on his face.
Li Mu patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, our goal has been achieved. There has been a gap between the several major forces. It's enough to find another opportunity to add fuel to the fire. Haha, speaking of it, it is rumored that Jian Xue Ten years ago, he was already at the peak of True Immortal cultivation. If you can hurt him under heavy guards, you are probably already in the Exalted Immortal Realm, right?"
Yuan Hou's strength increased rapidly.
With Li Mu's unlimited supply of immortal crystals, he is now at the beginning of the banished immortal level and can compete with all the powerful ones below the golden immortal.
This kind of strength growth rate is slightly inferior to Li Mu.
But it can definitely be regarded as shocking.
In particular, Yuan Hong is proficient in the Eight-nine Mysterious Skills and can transform into Li Mu's appearance. Cooperating with Li Mu, any assassination operation can reveal perfect alibi, which can be said to be flawless.
"Next, let's stay calm for two days. You stay in Xiaoyaoju to practice in seclusion, and try not to show your strength in front of others. I will be on duty in the palace. If there is any action, just ask Xiaojiu or stupid tiger to contact you."
Li Mu gave some instructions before leaving Xiaoyaoju.
Who would have known that less than a hundred meters away from Xiaoyaoju, he would be pestered again.
"Hehe, Mr. Mu, what a coincidence, we meet again."
On the street, [Bliss Fairy] Xia Jing was dressed in a long blue palace dress. She was like a grass elf fairy. She was extremely pure and beautiful. Her big eyes like crescent moons were staring at Li Mu with a smile on her face.
Li Mu frowned slightly.
"You are really haunted."
Li Mu stopped, looked at this stunning woman who was as beautiful as a ripe peach, and said, "I remember, I warned you once."
Xia Jing looked cunning.
She swayed over like a willow in the wind, with the fragrant breeze blowing on her face. She pretended to be afraid and said: "No, sir, you warned me twice. The first time, you warned me that if the Thirteenth Prince still sends If someone assassinates Ouyang Yi, he will take his life, but later he told me that it was just a bluff. Wasn't the second warning to me to stay away from you not a bluff? "
Between Li Mu's eyebrows, there was a hint of impatient killing intent.
Xia Jing instantly jumped away like a frightened little white rabbit and said: "Why does the young master hate the slave family so much? The slave family is looking for you, master, just to talk to you about a little cooperation."
In the depths of Li Mu's eyes, a flash of light flashed past.
"Go away. Any cooperation is not attractive to me." Li Mu's tone was cold, and he turned and left.
Xia Jing smiled faintly, with a beautiful but strange arc at the corner of her mouth, and said, "For example, the person who poisoned Wei Rulong, the young master is not interested in knowing?"
Li Mu paused.
