I want to be innocent, but they don't allow me

Chapter 359: The clever brain recaptures the high ground.

Liu Mingyan's eyes showed panic and she quickly began to explain.

How could she have imagined that when she saw the storytelling restaurant was very popular in Yang County, she would casually mention it to her subordinates.

It’s only been a few days and the books have been sold to the border.

"Miss Liu, there's no need to say more. You make money from me, so I want 70% of your gross profit. That's not too much, right?"

Li Mu waved his hand and said indifferently.

“Yes…yes!”

"Miss, 70%! We will lose everything!" Yuan Bao shook Liu Mingyan vigorously and reminded her.

"Mauri, Your Highness is talking about Maori."

"You stupid girl, I loved you in vain!"

Li Mu coughed twice, and changed his words without blushing or beating his heart.

"Pure profit, pure profit, I was drunk and made a slip of the tongue."

Unexpectedly, Liu Mingyan's face turned slightly red. She lowered her head and dared not look at Li Mu again. She said softly in a low voice:

"It doesn't matter. Your Highness says whatever you want."

"What's this woman up to?"

Li Mu frowned. If the situation was different, and the person who said this was Yuan Bao, and the one who sabotaged him was Liu Mingyan, Li Mu would not find it strange at all.

But the current situation is indeed a bit weird.

As expected, Liu Mingyan then said:

"I heard that Your Highness is going back to the capital. It just so happens that I haven't been home for a long time. Why not go with him? I can also tell Your Highness about this story in detail."

"Is this woman scared by the Ran slaves and wants me to be her bodyguard? Or is she afraid that I will run away?"

Li Mu murmured in his heart, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Prince Yan also vaguely told him why he was so keen to help Liu Mingyan.

Basically, he has a grudge against the head of the Liu family and is planning to trick him.

Li Mu didn't care much about this.

Anyway, my reputation is already like this, you can ruin it however you want.

But it is impossible to get him to cooperate.

Li Mu had a bad impression of the Liu family from the beginning.

There is no need to say much about Liu Mingzhe.

As for Liu Minglan, Caiwei clearly said that she knew her, but she insisted that she didn't know.

If Li Mu had not been careful and secretly took the hair, and the two of them had not spent several days together, the hexagram would not have given such a vague position.

After all, he had a name but no surname, and it might not be his real name, so Li Mu was not sure he could find the person.

Thinking about this, Li Mu lost interest in continuing to accompany her.

He glanced at the maid in the courtyard and shouted:

"Who is this? Take me to the study."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, two voices came to his ears at the same time.

"cousin."

"Your Highness."

Li Mu glanced back and forth at the two of them, then looked at Xiang Meng.

"Say!"

"I have been reading in my uncle's study these past two days. If my cousin wants to find any books, I can help him."

Xiang Meng's tone was flattering, similar to that of Zatu back then.

Li Mu thought about it and decided that it was not impossible, so he simply said:

"You have seen the books that record the holy statue in the capital of our Xing Dynasty. All the relevant books will be sent to my room later."

"Holy image?" Xiang Meng looked up and thought hard.

Li Muguang felt that he was unreliable when he saw him like this. Just as he was about to say forget it, he heard him muttering to himself:

"I have heard of the holy statue in the capital of Xing Dynasty. It seems to be similar to the demon statue in the flower sea of ​​my clan. However, there should be no books recording such things in my uncle's study."

"What flower sea and golem are you talking about?"

Li Mu's expression froze, and he appeared in front of Xiang Meng, grabbing his collar and asked.

Xiang Meng realized that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly shut up. His eyes were full of pleading when he looked at Li Mu.

"Answer whatever Mu'er asks! Otherwise, you don't have to stay here!"

At this time, Xiang Dairu, who had sent Prince Yan to rest, just came out from the back hall, scolding.

"aunt…"

Xiang Meng gritted his teeth, his eyes flickered for a while, and after a long while, he said in a disappointed tone,

"I have seen that golem. It is a Xia man wearing a long robe. Because of the special material of the golem, it is difficult to be damaged by a knife or an axe. Several generations of our clan leaders have wanted to destroy it, but they have never been able to do so. That is why it is called a golem."

After saying that, he glanced at Xiang Dairu, then simply closed his eyes and shouted:

"As for the sea of ​​flowers, I'm sorry I can't tell you!"

"Who cares about your sea of ​​flowers?"

Li Mu was complaining in his heart, and then he heard Xiang Dairu say:

"The calyx is red, and the whole body is red, just like human blood. The sea of ​​flowers is also called the Sea of ​​Blood. It is a holy place worshipped by the Tianxiang Clan for generations."

"aunt!"

"Stop shouting, stop shouting, I'm not interested in your sea of ​​flowers. Tell me, how far is that golem from Donglai Pass!"

Li Mu let go of Xiang Meng and waved his hand.

"I can't tell you. I am a man of the Tianxiang tribe. I can't let you lead your troops into my tribe!"

Xiang Meng's neck was twisted, and he looked like he was going to die bravely.

Li Mu's mouth twitched and he looked up at Xiang Dairu.

"I sneaked in and hunted...plundered the army, and finally arrived at Xing Dynasty. It took me about ten days to walk."

"More than ten days..." After hearing Xiang Dairu's words, Li Mu thought to himself,

"Normally, it takes more than ten days to get from here to the capital. If it's from the capital to Qiuzhou, it shouldn't take more than half a month... The distance is about the same!"

Li Mu narrowed his eyes and asked:

"Do you remember what kind of robes the golem wore?"

"do not remember!"

"Xiang Meng!" Seeing Xiang Meng's uncooperativeness, Xiang Dairu shouted loudly and kicked him on the knee.

Xiang Meng groaned, knelt down in front of Li Mu, took a few deep breaths, but still gritted his teeth and refused to say anything.

Li Mu was well aware of Xiang Dairu's intention in doing this.

In fact, she was protecting Xiang Meng, fearing that Li Mu would get angry and kill him on the spot.

Not to mention Li Mu, even Li Ru, his cousin, wanted to kill the young patriarch of the Ran Nu.

Not to mention the rest, Xiang Dairu had no choice but to keep him by her side all the time.

If we let him go, he might be secretly killed by some general.

Li Mu squatted down, patted Xiang Meng on the shoulder, and his tone softened:

"I won't ask you how to get there, and I won't ask you to lead the way. As for the rest, can you answer me honestly?"

Xiang Meng frowned, thought for a moment, looked up at Li Mu and said:

"I don't remember the details, but according to the description, it's a bit like the clothes my cousin wore in the chapter about the King of Gua Wang in the storybook."

"Boy, are you kidding me?"

Xiang Meng's description was a bit abstract, and Li Mu had no idea what he was saying.

He had clenched his fist as big as a sandbag, ready to violently urge him to update.

At this time, Liu Mingyan behind him softly reminded:

"Your Highness has not read the story, so of course he doesn't know. He should be talking about the Taoist robe."

"Taoist robe!" Li Mu turned around suddenly, with a golden light flashing in his eyes.

"The one on Saint Street is dressed as an emperor, Qiu He is naturally a Confucian, and Ran Nu has another one wearing a Taoist robe..."

"Oh my god! I got it!"

Li Mu's brain was overloaded, and he felt that he had discovered something that he should have figured out long ago.

"That statue is the center of the formation!"

During the training, Li Mu learned that nine powerful human beings sacrificed their lives to become the core of the formation, and sacrificed millions of human soldiers to form a large formation.

Considering the hexagram I had obtained for the middle-aged Taoist priest, the nine directions...

"It's everywhere! It's just southeast, northwest, southeast, southwest, northeast, northwest, plus Jing'an City right in the middle, which makes it exactly nine directions."

"No, I guessed right this time!"

Li Mu was furious. Although his previous speculations were always proven wrong, he had a feeling that he was right this time.

Li Mu stood up in a hurry, looked at Xiang Dairu and said anxiously:

"Aunt Ru, please go find the old man. I want the geomancy map of the entire Xing Dynasty. The more detailed the better!"

"But the prince is already drunk..."

Xiang Dairu frowned slightly, but halfway through her words, her brows relaxed again, a knowing smile appeared on her face, and she nodded.

"I'll go right away."
