Great Swordsman

Chapter 240 Praise and kill to write poems for the queen (subscription required)
The third place on the ground list?

Li Mu showed surprise on his face.

Although he has the heart of the sword to suppress Baisha, his practice speed is indeed far faster than others, and he even fantasized about punching Gu Xingjian and kicking Meng Qiuhan, but at this time when all nations are in power and the situation is meeting, he is defeated by the dragon and the tiger. Shan is set to be the third place on the land list. Is this...reasonable?

"Li Mu, this is the list of dragons and tigers announced by Longhushan three days ago." Zhu'er handed over a piece of paper thoughtfully.

Li Mu hurriedly took it and saw that the top three were Master Huineng, Taoist Quanzhen and him!
Meng Qiuhan, who was originally third, fell to fourth place.

and many more!

Li Mu frowned, and asked, "Why is there no realm of cultivation?"

When Li Mu looked at the list of dragons and tigers three months ago, everyone on it was marked with a cultivation level. At that time, Master Huineng was at the sixth level of earth evil, and Taoist Quanzhen was at the fifth level of earth evil. 72 names!

"Longhushan said that in order to prevent other countries from discovering the truth, the future dragon and tiger rankings will no longer record the specific cultivation of the individual." Leng Mei said in a deep voice: "And they also said that the realm does not represent the strength. If someone can If you defeat the person on the list, you can replace him and get this person's ranking!"

Li Mu's heart sank, and he asked: "Then before that, what was my ranking?"

Zhu'er and Leng Mei looked at each other and shook their heads together: "No, three days ago, your name never appeared on the Dragon and Tiger List!"

No?

Li Mu was shocked!
As early as mid-October, he broke through to the earth evil realm with Jiansha in Jianjiang Villa, but it was not until three days ago, that is, at the end of December, that his name appeared on the dragon and tiger list, and he was directly the third Location!

Since ancient times, Wen Wu has been the first, and Wu Wu has been the second. Longhushan deliberately hid the realm of everyone, and abruptly placed him in the third place on the dragon and tiger list. He also said that as long as he defeated the person on the list, he could replace him. It was obvious that he was roasted on the fire!

Moreover, this pile of fire is not only a great monk from the earth evil realm, but also the pride of the nations!
Longhushan's sinister intentions are simply... Li Mu was so angry that he was at a loss for words!

"No one has raised any objections to Longhushan?" Li Mu said angrily.

"Yes! After the announcement of the Dragon and Tiger List three days ago, Abbot Huineng of the White Horse Temple noticed something was wrong, and immediately found the Daoist Master of the Three Heavenly Masters in Longhu Mountain in Beijing, and raised objections to the Dragon and Tiger List. It is said that you have condensed the heart of the sword, but you are indomitable in the land of evil. Only Master Hui Neng and Taoist Quanzhen can hold you down, so you are listed as the third. As for whether you can keep the ranking, it depends on your own good fortune. It has nothing to do with Longhu Mountain." Zhu'er whispered.

Li Mu was even angrier after hearing this!
Has nothing to do with you Longhushan? !

Really shameless!
While flattering and killing him, he hypocritically removed himself from this matter... Li Mu was so angry that he gritted his teeth!
Regardless of the fact that he is the master of the Sword Sect, he has sword fans all over the place, and he is in the limelight, but in fact, the people of the Sword Sect are either from a poor family, or they are casual cultivators. Before joining the Sword Sect, they were just a mess.

Geniuses who really come from great families and have profound backgrounds don't want to follow Li Mu's way!
Even, they were already jealous of Li Mu's reputation, and now that Li Mu appeared in the third place in the Dragon and Tiger Ranking, wouldn't this give them a reason to challenge Li Mu?
Longhushan's move undoubtedly attracted countless jealous eyes and powerful challenges for Li Mu!
it is good!
very good!

I remember you, Longhushan!
Li Mu hated this kind of backstabbing the most, this time Longhushan made a move, and he immediately hated them in his heart!
Li Mu asked blankly: "Zhu'er, what is the rule for this confrontation between the heavenly heroes of the various kingdoms? Will the Taoist priests of Longhu Mountain end?"

"This matter is still under discussion and has not been decided. As for Longhu Mountain..." Zhu'er shook his head nervously, and said: "The Taoist priests of Longhu Mountain will not be recruited by His Majesty if they are not included in the list. Li Mu, don't you Impulse!"

"Don't worry, I'm calm!" Li Mu gritted his teeth.

Ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge, what Longhushan gave today, Li Mu will definitely make them pay a hundred times the price in the future!
As for this moment... Li Mu sneered, Longhushan put him on the fire and roasted him, all he wanted was to destroy him!

I won't let you get what you want!
"Li Mu, you and the baby will live in Qingyou Mountain for the time being." Leng Mei said.

Although the Imperial Academy is not as famous as Jiutian Yingyuanshen Mansion in Dagan, it is somewhat intimidating. Living here, Li Mu can also avoid some coveting eyes.

"That's fine." Li Mu didn't refuse. After all, he still has a doll by his side. If he lived outside, mistakes would inevitably occur.

"By the way, where is Commander Ying?" Li Mu asked.

Since he wants to live here, he must contact the head of the Imperial Academy in the future.

However, that day at the Sword General Villa, this guy left without saying goodbye, saying that something was wrong, Li Mu guessed that he probably recognized Qixing Longyuan, so he hurried home to search for information!
If the winners knew about it, what would their attitude be?

Li Mu frowned slightly.

"He has been locked up and will not appear in the Imperial Capital for a short time." Leng Mei said.

"Retired?" Li Mu was taken aback, retreated and retreated, how come there are still people who are retreated?

"Hey, Commander Ying said something wrong and was punished by the winner, so he was closed!" Zhu'er told Li Mu that the winner was a descendant of the Great Qin Ying family. Seed', set off the great cause of anti-Qin, this sentence can be said to be the beginning of the destruction of the Great Qin, as a result, 5000 years later, the filial son Ying Wei also shouted this sentence in front of the Lingyun Buddha, although the two of them kept it a secret , but there was a mixed bag of fish and dragons in the field at that time, and it was finally passed on and known to the winners!

"I heard from my mother that the head of the winner's family almost died of anger!" Zhu'er said happily.

"Commander Ying is so innocent." Li Mu sighed, how could someone with a normal mind say this?
Li Mu's mood improved inexplicably.

"Ahem, Li Mu!" Zhu'er suddenly coughed lightly, and sat up straight.

"What's wrong?" Li Mu looked at her suspiciously.

"How do you think the empress treats you?" Zhu'er asked solemnly.

"Naturally very good." Li Mu replied, although he and the empress had only met a few times, the empress was indeed very kind to him, which can be seen from the attitudes of Zhu'er, Leng Mei, and You Lan towards him One two!
If the queen didn't value him, how could the three daughters surround him so enthusiastically every time they saw him?

"Then write a poem for your empress too!" Zhu'er's eyes lit up immediately, and she stared at Li Mu with radiance.

Li Mu was a little confused: "Write poetry?"

"Li Mu, you wrote poems for Princess Chu, and praised her as 'looking back with a smile, she is full of beauty, and the six palaces have no color'. Isn't this comparing your empress?" , to help her advance to the Earth Demon Realm!"

"Miss Ling, is it too late to be promoted?" Li Mu hurriedly asked about her recent situation.

"Don't worry! Princess Chu is fine. Your Majesty often calls her to the palace, so she is very considerate." Zhu'er still said mysteriously: "Li Mu, the last time your Majesty and Princess Chu took a bath together, I was by my side... "

Can you tell me about this kind of thing...Li Mu thought of the peerless looks of the queen and Ling Shishi, and suddenly felt his blood boil, and looked at Zhu'er with bright eyes: please tell me!

Zhu'er didn't know what Li Mu was thinking, and continued: "I was waiting on the side, and I saw that the palace guard sand on Princess Chu's arm is still there!"

That's it?

Li Mu didn't know whether to be disappointed or happy.

"Li Mu! What kind of expression do you have? Princess Chu defends you like a jade, but you..." Zhu'er put her hands on her hips angrily, and stared at him viciously!
Have you misunderstood something... Li Mu wanted to explain his relationship with Ling Shishi, but he gave up when the words came to his lips.

Because he thought of Ling Shishi's cold temperament like a fairy in the moon palace and her face like a fairy sister, he felt that if he misunderstood, let him misunderstand, anyway, he would not suffer.

"If she is well, it will be sunny." Li Muwen said greenly, then remembered something, and asked: "Zhu'er, do you have any clues about the stone that I asked you to check last time?"

On the other side of the Lingyun Buddha that day, Li Mu entrusted Zhu'er with two things. One was to ask the queen to take care of Ling Shishi, and the other was to confirm the effect of the blood-stained sapphire stolen from the nest of five evil dragons by the crow brothers at the risk of their lives. !
"There are no clues at the moment, but this time the tribute from all nations, the diplomatic missions from all over the world are here, maybe there will be clues." Zhu'er said: "Don't worry, there should be news within three days at the latest!"

"Hey, I'm really sorry to trouble you for so long for my sake." Li Mu was a little ashamed.

"Don't say that, we are both empresses, so naturally we have to watch over and help each other!" Zhu'er said rightly.

"That's it, that's great, I happen to have something to trouble you here." Li Mu hit the snake with the stick.

"..." The righteousness on Zhu'er's face disappeared little by little. Finally, she looked at Li Mu expressionlessly, and said emotionally, "You write poems for your empress first!"

"No problem!" Li Mu likes to write poems, and he has flashes of inspiration every now and then.

He closed his eyes and focused his attention, recalling the queen's beautiful face and indescribable grace, and muttered: "Yun Xiang's clothes are beautiful, and the spring breeze is blowing on the threshold of Revlon. If I didn't see you at the top of Qunyu Mountain, I would look at Yaotai Moon Next time!"

"The spring breeze blows over the sill, Qun Yushan, Yaotai..." Zhu'er looked dazed. She didn't read much, so she couldn't understand the meaning of the poem.

I just feel that the words in this poem have nothing to do with the beauty of the empress.

Is this really a poem for the empress?

Zhu'er looked at Leng Mei at the side, and thought: Leng Mei reads a lot, so she must understand!

Leng Mei lowered her head, a blush appeared on her cold face.

Well, you didn't understand either... Zhu'er looked at Li Mu with a stern face: "Li Mu, is this poem really about your empress?"

"It's natural!" Li Mu brought up his own troublesome matter as he spoke, which was the Nanshanhou matter!
"Investigate Wu Dong, the Inspector of Tai'a County, and Zhang Ziyao, Minister of the Ministry of Officials?" Zhu'er's eyes widened suddenly: "Li Mu, you, you, you...you won't offend Zhang Shangshu, right?"

In the past, there was Nine Heavens Yingyuan Shenfu, followed by Shu Wang Jihui, Chu Wang Ji Changqiu, then Minister of Criminal Affairs Mu Wentu, Longhushan, and now, Zhang Ziyao, Minister of Officials?
By the way, when Li Mu entered the city, he also beheaded a cultivator from the Earth Demon Realm of the Ghost Country Mission. Although he defended the great power of heaven, he also completely offended the Ghost Country!

Zhu'er looked at Li Mu with rather resentful eyes: My Imperial Academy is almost unable to accommodate you, a great god.

"It's not considered offending, it's just to check, whether it's what I think is still open to discussion." Li Mu was also a little embarrassed.

Although it is mediocre not to be envied by others, the people he has offended along the way... are indeed a bit outrageous!

"Okay, I see." Zhu'er responded with a stern face.

"Li Mu, Li Mu~ I caught a butterfly, let's go eat meat~" After a lot of hard work, the baby finally caught the butterfly, and ran over as if offering a treasure, her stomach still growling.

At this time, the night is approaching, and the lights are just coming on. Looking at the bustling street below the mountain, you can see the red dust and fireworks.

"The last time I came to the imperial capital, I didn't take a good look around. This time I just had a look at the prosperity of the imperial capital!" Li Mu picked up the doll, and said to Zhu'er and Leng Mei: "I will leave the rest to you."

"Li Mu, be careful!" Leng Mei instructed.

Li Mu nodded and left.

After descending Qingyou Mountain, the sky had already darkened, but the moon was shining brightly in the sky, and the stars were shining brightly. The huge Imperial Capital seemed to be covered with a layer of bright silver veil, with a bit of beauty in the haze.

"Sovereign, horse!" Lin Aimin got out from nowhere, holding a fine white horse in his hand.

This is a spirit horse raised in captivity by the Hanlin Academy. It can travel eight hundred miles a day, and the old horse knows the way. Even if it is lost, it will return to Qingyou Mountain by itself.

"Thank you." Li Mu was not pretentious, he threw the doll on his shoulder, got on his horse, and drove away.

"As expected of the suzerain, the riding posture is so chic." Lin Aimin watched from a distance, full of emotion.

"Li Mu, eat the best~" Baby sat on Li Mu's shoulder, although her stomach was growling, she always remembered Li Mu's words that fooled her before.

"Okay! Then let's go to Baihu Street to eat drunk snapper!" Li Mu laughed.

There are four main roads in Dagan Imperial Capital, which are Qinglong Street, Baihu Street, Zhuque Street and Xuanwu Street.

Among them, Zhuque Street is where the ministries and halls are located, adjacent to the imperial palace.

Qinglong Street is also called Brothel Street, where there is the largest Jiaofang Division in Daqian, and there are countless brothels, including 36 oirans, big and small, all of whom are talented and talented, and they are the best in the world!
There are many restaurants on Xuanwu Street, theaters everywhere, and countless shopping, it is the best place for entertainment!
And on Baihu Street, there is everything you need for basic necessities, food, housing, and transportation. Among them, the drunken snapper at Yuchang Restaurant is a must in Baihu!
When Li Mu came to the Imperial Capital last time, he seemed to have heard someone mention it, and his memory is still fresh!
This time I just went to try the drunken snapper!
After galloping the horse for a certain distance, there were more and more pedestrians in front of him. Li Mu stroked the horse's mane lightly. The white horse was very spiritual, and immediately slowed down.

Further on, there is the auxiliary road of Baihu Street, where there is a crowd of people, rubbing shoulders, looking around, you can see nobles in rich clothes, talented scholars and beautiful women, merchants and pawns, monks with swords everywhere, and there are blue eyes and hooked noses The people from the Western Regions and the Mongolian people, who are as rough and majestic as brown bears, are extremely prosperous and lively!

"There are too many people." Li Mu found that there was no way to ride a horse in front of him, no, he might not even be able to get in with a horse.

Helpless, he had no choice but to deposit the white horse in a nearby restaurant. Of course, money was indispensable.

"Li Mu, there's a roast duck restaurant over there~" Baby sat on Li Mu's shoulders, as the saying goes, looking far away, she saw a roast duck restaurant on the left side, and a lo mei restaurant next to it, with a few fat pig's trotters hanging !
Disappointed saliva flowed from the corner of the doll's mouth.

"Ok?"

In an instant, a rough Mengyuan man in the crowd raised his nostrils and looked towards Li Mu suddenly!
