Great Swordsman

The chaotic footsteps were light and heavy, and if they were rough, there were at least a dozen people.

Li Mu stood up and opened the door. Under the warm winter sun, the courtyard was full of people!

The leader was Master Huineng, the abbot of Baima Temple. At this time, he put his hands together, lowered his eyebrows, and looked apologetic.

One step behind him were two middle-aged men in purple official robes, one of them was full of black hair, had a righteous face, and his eyes were as sharp as a sword.

The other face is kind, but his eyes are cold, like a poisonous snake, without any emotion.

Behind the two of them, Li Mu saw Leng Mei and You Lan, and the two women looked at him with serious expressions, obviously this trip was not a small matter!
In addition, there are four officials in scarlet official robes, and a large number of Nine Heavens Yingyuanshenfu monks in white cloaks.

The atmosphere in the courtyard was extremely dignified, the doll followed Li Mu out, and hid behind Li Mu's legs in fear.

"Amitabha." Huineng sighed, "Benefactor Li, poor monk... I'm sorry."

He also said last night that as long as he was around, no one could disturb Li Mu, but after only one night, he broke his promise.

He felt so guilty that he didn't dare to look directly at Li Mu.

"Master Huineng, don't say that. I'm just staying for one night to soak up the Buddha spirit of the White Horse Temple. How can I say sorry?" Li Mu didn't blame Huineng. Link in!
Li Mu looked at the two middle-aged men in purple official robes, and asked, "Who are these two?"

"My official Dali Temple Qing Zhou Sheren." The middle-aged man with cold eyes cupped his hands and greeted lightly: "I have seen Shi Jianxian."

Dali Temple Minister?

The murder case of the Mongolian nobles?
Li Mu thought about it, and said with a smile: "So it's Mr. Zhou, I'm being rude."

After saluting, Li Mu looked at the purple robe next to Zhou Sheren, and said with a half-smile: "So, this is Mr. Mu Wentu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment?"

"It's my official!" Mu Wentu looked at Li Mu with a righteous face, sacred and inviolable.

"I don't know why the two adults mobilized people to find the next official?" Li Mu asked.

Mu Wentu said in a deep voice: "If you want people to not know, you have to do nothing! Li Mu, you know what you have done yourself!"

Li Mu raised his brows, and said in a loud voice: "Could it be that the subordinates killed Mr. Mu's wife and children with their own hands in Kunlu Peak? The battle for the blessed land is a contest of life and death. Mrs. Mu's wife and children were like a car, overreaching, and were beheaded by the subordinates." Killing is also their own fault, and I have nothing to do with it, Master Mu, if you want to settle accounts after the fall, I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible."

Mu Wentu was furious, with killing intent in his eyes, but he was suppressed almost instantly, and it was fleeting!
If Li Mu hadn't been staring at it all the time, he wouldn't have noticed it at all!

Old fox!
"presumptuous!"

"Li Mu, you are bold! Wearing the skin of a poetic sword fairy, you secretly killed several people. You are like a beast in clothes!"

"What nonsense are you talking to him, just take it down!"

Those officials in scarlet robes pointed at Li Mu and cursed angrily.

"Enough!" You Lan took half a step forward, interrupted them in a condensed voice, and said, "I am ordering your majesty and empress to ask Li Mu to go back to assist in the investigation, and please be careful with your words!"

"What else is there to investigate? Besides him, who else could be the murderer?"

"That's right! I can guarantee with the black yarn on my head, the murderer must be this shackle!!"

The officials in the scarlet robe spoke uprightly.

Li Mu frowned slightly, he noticed that one of them, Fei Pao, said that he had killed several people.

However, since he entered Beijing, he also killed two people.

One is the Ghost Pillar, and the entire imperial capital knows about it, and it is impossible for Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice to blame themselves for this matter.

Besides Ghost Pillar, there is only one Mongolian nobleman.

Then how come the theory of killing several people?

Could it be... framed?
"Li Mu! I'm here to look for you, it has nothing to do with my wife and children!" At this moment, Mu Wentulang, Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, regained his composure, and said calmly, "I want to call you, and let everyone know As early as more than ten years ago, the official reconciled with the old woman of Zhong’s family, breaking the relationship between husband and wife! As for the son, although the official’s blood is flowing on his body, he entered Zixia temple since he was a child and became a monk. , and I don’t even have the slightest father-son relationship with this official! Therefore, don’t use this matter to slander this official in the future!”

"Lord Mu is really high-spirited, impartial and selfless, I admire you!" Li Mu sneered, and then asked: "I just don't know who exactly the lower official killed, which alarmed the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, the Minister of Dali Temple, and even Your Majesty and Empress?"

"Your Majesty and Your Majesty are still waiting in the hall. We'd better stop talking nonsense here and go back first." Dali Temple Minister Zhou Sheren was a little impatient.

"Li Mu, what do you think?" Mu Wentu asked very caringly.

If I refuse, wouldn't that just fulfill your wish?

Li Mu smiled: "How dare you disobey your orders?"

Before leaving, Li Mu asked Huineng to take care of the baby.

"Li Mu, where are you going?" The baby thought that Li Mu was going to leave her at her mother's house, so she hurried over and hugged his thigh, looking up at Li Mu with teary eyes.

"Aren't you hungry? I'll buy you a roast duck, and I'll be back soon." Li Mu smiled.

"Really~" the doll was overjoyed: "I want ten~"

"Amitabha." Huineng clasped his hands beside him.

When the doll saw it, she was shocked: No, it’s revealed!
She quickly ran into the hut with short legs, and hurriedly closed the door.

Mu Wentu and Zhou Sheren did not embarrass a little girl, their goal is only Li Mu!
"Li Mu..."

After leaving the other courtyard, Leng Mei and You Lan came to Li Mu, wanting to say something to him, but the scarlet-robed officials hurriedly approached and stopped them: "Li Mu is an important suspect in this case, both of you, even if you People who are next to the empress, please respect yourself!"

Obviously, they don't want them to communicate with Li Mu in advance.

Helpless, You Lan and Leng Mei could only retreat.

When he came to the gate of Baima Temple, Mu Wentu took out a jade token from his pocket, handed it to Li Mu, and said to Li Mu earnestly: "With this jade token, you can control the sky in the imperial capital. Time is running out. We will go against the wind." Bar."

Li Mu was startled, isn't Mu Wentu afraid of him running away?
You must know that with the speed of his sword, there are not many human monks who can catch up with him in this world!
Or, is Mu Wentu eager for me to run away so that my 'crime' can be confirmed?
Li Mu received the jade order, and decisively rose against the wind, followed You Lan and Leng Mei, and flew towards the imperial palace!

……

Qingyou Mountain!
Early in the morning, thousands of people gathered at the foot of the mountain. They came from all directions of the imperial capital, just to invite Li Mu to come out of the mountain and suppress the arrogance of the Mongolian Yuan and the Huns!

"Meng Yuan and Xiongnu are domineering, Shi Jianxian, please come out of the mountain!"

"Kneel and invite the Poetry and Sword Immortal to come out of the mountain!!"

"Shi Jianxian can't come out, why can't the world live!!"

Thousands of people shouted at the foot of the mountain, and the sound waves went straight to the top of the mountain!
"Everyone! Everyone! The suzerain is really not on the mountain. He didn't come back after he went out last night. Everyone, calm down!" Lin Aimin, who was on duty today, shouted at the foot of the mountain, but how could his voice alone overwhelm him? The cry of thousands?

On the mountainside, in the Imperial Academy, the seven monsters stand in the rocks, looking down at the ants-like crowd at the foot of the mountain.

"This time, Li Mu is over."

"Yeah, it's thanks to Longhushan that he was ranked third in the Earth Ranking, otherwise, his opponent in the ring would be the Five Realms of Earth Sha, so wouldn't that be one sword?"

"Now that he is in the ring, he has to face at least the monks of the Tenth Realm of Earth Fiend!"

"If you go to the ring, you will die, if you don't, you will lose your reputation. No matter what, he will never stay in the Imperial Academy again!"

"By the way, why hasn't Li Mu come out yet?"

The seven people chatted happily, and suddenly they saw a fast horse galloping down the mountain and entered the crowd. Soon, the crowd was noisy, and the chaotic voice merged into a sound wave, which was hard to hear clearly.

Not long after, the crowd at the foot of the mountain dispersed.

"Why did you break up?"

"What happened?"

The Seven Monsters hurriedly sent people down the mountain to inquire.

Not long after, the person sent out came back: "Seven deacons, something happened! Aguda is missing!"

"A Guta?"

"But the one who openly challenged Li Mu in the arena of Qinglong Square last night?"

"He disappeared at this time?"

"Wait! In this way, Li Mu won't have to go to the ring?"

The seven monsters looked at each other in blank dismay.

……

at the same time.

Li Mu and his party walked against the wind, crossed the Imperial Capital, and finally arrived at Suzaku Avenue after half an hour.

"Fall!" shouted Mu Wentu, who was the leader.

Everyone followed suit like a stream, and descended towards Suzaku Avenue.

Li Mu looked down and found that at the end of Suzaku Street, outside the palace, there were actually two groups of people confronting each other.
One of them is a tall, strong, rough-faced Mongolian Yuan people. There are more than a hundred people, all of whom are monks. Their powerful aura merged into one piece, and pressed against the opposite side like a substance.

On the opposite side, there is the Imperial Forest Army of the palace. They wear steel helmets and masks. Although they don't say a word, their powerful aura condenses into a wall, blocking the aura of the Mengyuan monks!

"That's what you did!" Mu Wentu glanced sideways at Li Mu, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in the depths of his eyes.

So what if you are famous?

So what about amazing talent?
So what about being third on the list?
After all, death is inevitable!
Li Mu sneered: "Why, Meng Yuan rushed into the palace, could it be that the subordinate officials ordered him?"

"You don't know that the disaster is imminent, hum!" Mu Wentu swung his official robe and strode forward.

You Lan and Leng Mei wanted to say something, but they couldn't find a chance!

Soon, they came to the gate of the palace.

The confrontation between monk Meng Yuan and the imperial forest army did not stop because of their arrival.

Mu Wentu and the others ignored these people, bypassed them, and went straight through the Wangxian Gate. Behind the gate was the Dagan Palace.

"Li Mu, return the jade order." Mu Wentu stretched out his hand.

Li Mu subconsciously looked at You Lan and Leng Mei, seeing them nodding, he handed over the jade order.

Afterwards, a group of people walked through the spacious square and entered the main hall of Tianyuan Hall!
in the hall.

The little emperor Ji Xuan is sitting on the throne, closing his eyes and recuperating.

Beside him was a phoenix chair, on which the empress Qin Mengyao, dressed in a phoenix robe, sat upright, her beautiful face did not show the slightest smile, full of awe-inspiring and inviolable nobility!
Especially those phoenix eyes, like a phoenix soaring nine days, looking down at the world from a high position!

There are quite a lot of people in the court at this time, the Grand Master Jiang Mingyuan, the Grand Master Pang Weiran, the Taibao Gongsun Zhi, the Taiwei Xiao Mo, Situ Yangxiu, Sikong Zhou Ziqiong, and even the King of Yan Jihan who are the masters of the Jiutian Yingyuanshen Mansion , Chu Wangji Changqiu, and Shu Wang Jihui are also there!
In addition, there are left minister Yao Yan, right minister Jiang Yuange, Minister of the Ministry of Officials Zhang Ziyao, minister of the Ministry of Rites Kong Yi, and minister of the Ministry of War Lu Xiangsong!

There are also ministers and doctors from various ministries, and there are at least 40 people in Zifei Shuangpao!

In addition to these high-ranking court tycoons, there are also a group of alien races standing in the hall!
It is the Mongolian Yuan Mission headed by Tu Lie, and the Xiongnu Mission that has always advanced and retreated with the Mongolian Yuan!
At the same time, there were two stretchers in the center of the main hall. There seemed to be a person lying on the stretcher, covered with a white cloth, it was suspected to be a corpse!
When Li Mu and his entourage entered, all the big figures in the court and people from the two embassy groups looked over one after another. Without exception, all their eyes fell on Li Mu.

"Your Majesty, bring Li Mu here!" Mu Wentu strode forward and said respectfully.

The little emperor Ji Xuan slowly opened his eyes, and looked at Li Mu expressionlessly.

Empress Qin Mengyao moved her phoenix eyes slightly, her eyes were neither sad nor surprised.

"My humble minister Li Mu, I have met Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Li Mu cupped his hands in salute.

"Exemption." Ji Xuan said.

His voice is a little hoarse, in the process of changing his voice.

"You are Li Mu?" The third prince of Meng Yuan came over with a sudden sneer: "It was you who killed my Mongolian noble, Agudamu?"

"Who are you?" Li Mu straightened up and asked.

"My name is Tu Lie, the third prince of Mongolia Yuangu Kingdom!" Tu Lie said coldly.

"It turned out to be the third prince of Meng Yuan, sorry." Li Mu cupped his hands perfunctorily, and said, "I just don't know who the Agudamu the third prince is talking about? I don't remember knowing this person!"

"Mu Shangshu, tell me!" Tu Lie sneered and looked at Mu Wentu.

Mu Wentu looked at Ji Xuan, and after Ji Xuan nodded, he looked at Li Mu and said, "Li Mu, two nights ago, that is, the night you first arrived in the Imperial Capital, did you ever go to Baihu Street?"

Li Mu nodded: "I've been."

"Have you ever seen this person before!" Mu Wentu lifted the white cloth of the first stretcher, revealing a rugged man with a height of two meters.

This person's face was pale, it was obvious that he had been dead for a long time!
Li Mu stepped forward and took a look, then shook his head: "I haven't seen it before."

He didn't lie, that night Agudamu sneaked up on Li Mu from behind, but instead of stealing a lot of money, Li Mu's heart was broken by the five evil spirits. Therefore, the two never met face to face!
"I'll ask you again, have you ever seen this person before? This person was killed by your own hands!!" Mu Wentu asked again in a cold voice, his voice was faint and bewitching.

Obviously, some kind of secret method was used to make people tell the truth.

But Li Mu had already recited the Bing Xin Jue silently, and the ice mist filled his mind, and the golden air of heaven and earth circulated all over his body, how could he fall into his way?

"The lower officials have never met this person, let alone killed him!" Li Mu replied lightly.

"You're lying!" Tu Lie was furious: "You were the only one who appeared on that street at the same time as Agudam that night! Who else could have killed him besides you! Daganshijianxian is nothing but that !!"

Li Mu laughed softly: "Why, you, a barbarian prince from Meng Yuan, have even heard of my name?"

"Presumptuous! You!!" Tu Lie glared angrily, wishing he could tear Li Mu up on the spot!
It is really annoying that Li Mu's aloof attitude as a member of a big country facing a barbarian country is too annoying!
"Enough!" Ji Xuan shouted condescendingly: "Li Mu! You really didn't kill anyone?!"

"Naturally..." Li Mu was about to say no, when he suddenly felt a huge coercion coming from Ji Xuan's body. In a trance, he seemed to see a golden dragon roaring towards him.

For a moment, Li Mu only felt that he was seen through by this divine dragon from inside to outside, and there was no way to hide any lies!

Even the ice mist in his mind was instantly dispersed by the dragon Longwei!
not good! !
Li Mu was startled, and was about to quickly recite the Bing Xin Jue silently, when suddenly there was a sound of dragon chant coming from his body, seemingly absent.

This is... Li Mu hurriedly looked inside, and saw three streams of white gas winding out from the depths of his body. In an instant, the vast dragon's power coming from Ji Xuan's body was instantly canceled out by these three streams of breath!

Dragon Qi!

These are the three true dragon spirits left to me by the ice dragon! !
