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

Chapter 600: The naughty kid in the enemy country.

Crossing the gray grassland was much easier than Li Mu had imagined.

Within two days, Li Mu saw a city built of huge stones.

It seems that the situation is not much different from the previous one. The Sanyang Gourd in the northeast Gen position should be in the possession of someone in this city.

As for the Pojun Fu in the due east Zhen position, its location should be deep in another gray grassland.

In order not to attract attention, Li Mu put on the black robe he had prepared early in the morning, and also put on the silver mask that Xiao Zhao made for him.

Although this looks a bit eye-catching, the skin color difference is huge after all, and Li Mu has no other choice.

Even in the Xing Dynasty, Li Mu's skin was considered fair.

If he wasn't so tall, he would easily be mistaken for a weak scholar... or, perhaps, a thin dog.

I originally thought I would see primitive tribes that ate raw meat and drank blood, but after entering the city I found that this place was actually not much different from most city-states in the Xing Dynasty.

If it weren't for the gray grassland as a natural barrier, it would obviously not be so mysterious.

However, Li Mu also knew that a large part of the things here were looted from the people of Xing Dynasty.

Li Mu definitely had no good feelings towards robbers.

Therefore, there is no big psychological burden in this trip to seize treasures from others.

"Jiu'er, is the Empress familiar with the owner of the gourd?"

Walking in the city, Li Mu started gossiping casually.

From Jun Jiuling, we learned that the person guarding the center of the Gen position formation was a first-class Taoist monk at that time.

The battle was too brutal, so the person who served as the core of the formation was not the strongest person of that era.

If we count, it should be the strongest one who survives.

"Not very familiar. He is the junior fellow apprentice of that bull nose. Your Majesty has only met him a few times."

Jun Jiuling frowned slightly, his eyes wandering around both sides of the street.

Li Mu saw that she was absent-minded, so he asked,

"Are you interested in this place?"

"No..." Jun Jiuling turned his head, a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes, and he thought for a while before speaking.

"They... should have been the people of the Xia Dynasty."

Li Mu was stunned for a moment and looked around. Apart from their skin color, the Ran Nu people did not look much different from the people of Xingchao.

"Jiuer..." Li Mu felt Jun Jiuling's loss, but didn't know what to say.

The statue in the capital was called Jun Liu, although later generations were not clear about the catastrophe.

But in the limited records, there are words like "sixth emperor" who unified the nine provinces.

That empress was the only one in the world who truly unified the human race.

"I was just saying it casually, look at you, you're so silly!"

Jun Jiuling blinked at Li Mu, but Li Mu could feel the sadness in her heart.

I wanted to say something else, but I saw Jun Jiuling staring at me and asked,

"You bastard, why don't we go directly to find the spiritual weapon? It should be not far from here in the northeast."

"No rush, let's meet someone I know first." Li Mu shook his head, looked up at the plaque of "Mansion" in front of him, and said with a smile.

On the plaque above his head, there are two large crooked characters, "Xiang Mansion".

Li Mu knew without guessing that this was Xiang Meng's mansion.

After all, in the entire city, this is the only place that almost completely copied the architectural style of the Xing Dynasty.

Coupled with these two abrupt characters of Xingchao, Li Mu was 100% sure.

At first, Xiang Meng planned to stay in Donglai Pass and had no intention of returning to Ran Nu.

As for why he gave up the idea in the end, Li Mu didn't know.

I only vaguely heard King Yan mention it, and it seemed to be related to Li Ru and Li Wu.

For this reason, the King of Yan even released more than 200 surrendered soldiers who had attacked Donglai Pass to escort him back.

"who!"

At this time, the gate guard saw Li Mu lingering outside the mansion gate, and in just a moment, more than a dozen people surrounded him.

Li Mu smiled bitterly. There were quite a few people coming and going, but his outfit was indeed a bit eye-catching.

Li Mu threw out a necklace with beast teeth from his sleeve and said in Ran Nu language,

"I am a friend of your young clan leader. Just take this and pass the message on."

This was the gift Xiang Meng gave him. Although Li Mu despised it, he did not refuse it.

The leading guard looked at the necklace in his hand, his expression changed immediately, and then he knelt on one knee in front of Li Mu and said respectfully,

"I have just offended you, sir. Please forgive me. I am at the Young Clan Leader's residence. Please move on."

Li Mu was stunned. He looked at the necklace that the guard respectfully presented to him and entered the mansion without saying a word.

main hall.

Li Mu took the tea handed to him by the fat black maid and twitched his lips slightly.

It is hard to imagine where Xiang Meng got so many dark and strong "little" maids.

If this happened in Linglong Waterside Pavilion, Li Mu would probably have to ponder for an hour in the carriage before returning home every time.

"cousin."

"Second brother!"

At this time, two familiar voices were heard outside the hall.

Li Mu almost thought he had heard it wrong, he stood up suddenly and blurted out,

"Why are you here!"

In front of him, Li Wu was dressed like a scholar, with dark skin that had lost much of his immaturity. He respectfully bowed to Li Mu like a scholar,

"Zicheng has met the second brother. Why did the second brother come to the royal court? Did the father ask the second brother to come?"

Li Mu looked at Li Wu, and the muscles on his face twitched. Then he looked at Xiang Meng. Although he didn't say anything, his meaning was very clear.

"Explain it!"

When Xiang Meng saw Li Mu's eyes, his legs trembled subconsciously, and he took two steps back unconsciously, laughing dryly,

"Yes, Zicheng wanted to come here on his own..."

"By the way, he was brought here by my eldest cousin and his wife. It really, really has nothing to do with me!"

Li Mu glared at him, then took off the mask on his face with one hand, lifted the back of Li Wu's neck with the other hand, and asked angrily,

"I remember that the teacher sent you to the Saint's Residence. Why are you here? Does the old man know?"

"Second brother..." Li Wu fluttered twice, then gave up struggling, looked at Li Mu with some grievance and said,

"Of course Father knows, Second Brother, please put me down."

Li Mu narrowed his eyes, instinctively felt that there was something wrong, and said coldly,

"Brother is here too? What do you want to do?"

Li Wu grinned but said nothing.

Li Mu was almost laughing out of anger. He kicked Li Wu on the buttocks and glared at him.

"Pretend to be stupid!"

Li Wu was kicked by Li Mu. Although he felt pain, he did not cry out. He held back the tears in his eyes and said with his shoulders shaking,

"I, we have to help cousin Xiang Meng take the position of clan leader. Second brother, I am not a child anymore."

Li Mu originally wanted to kick him again, but seeing his stubborn look, he thought about it and let him go.

Li Wu bowed respectfully to Li Mu again, then turned around and ran out of the main hall.

Xiang Meng stood there trembling, looked back at Li Wu, then at Li Mu, lowered his head and dared not speak.

At this time, Jun Jiuling appeared beside Li Mu, playfully put his hand on his forehead and looked in the direction where Li Wu ran, and said,

"You bastard, is that your brother? You two brothers don't look alike."

Li Mu frowned and wanted to say "No", but the words on his lips turned into "I guess so, a naughty child of the elders."

Jun Jiuling rolled his eyes at Li Mu and said unhappily, "He is still your brother. If you care about him, why can't you just talk to him nicely?"

"Who cares about him? This naughty kid didn't study hard and ran to the enemy's capital. I think he deserves a beating!"

Hearing this, Jun Jiuling covered his mouth and chuckled, tilting his head to look Li Mu up and down.

"This is the first time I see you like this. Is he the person you said you wanted to meet?"

Li Mu calmed himself down. Even he himself didn't know why he was so angry. He looked at the trembling Xiang Meng and said coldly,

"Do you know a gourd that is dark red in color, about four inches long, cannot be cut by a knife, and is impervious to water and fire?"

Xiang Meng slowly raised his head and looked at Li Mu suspiciously. After thinking for a while, he asked tentatively,

"Cousin, are you here for the Celestial Army too?"
