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

Chapter 753: Folk remedy?

"Master~"

Shanshan pushed gently, her movements gentle as if she was afraid of hurting Li Mu.

After all, with her current strength, she could blow Li Mu away dozens of miles with all her strength.

However, at this moment, she looked like a weak and helpless young wife.

"Is it enough?"

Li Mu spoke weakly, his head already feeling a little dizzy.

"No...no, no, that's enough."

Shanshan was a little incoherent, not knowing whether she should say enough or not.

"not enough?"

Li Mu chuckled and patted the back of her head.

Shanshan knew that Li Mu had played a trick on her. She raised her head and touched Li Mu's lips again before saying,

"That's enough now!"

"Then hurry up and get up!"

Li Mu didn't expect that he would lose so much blood in a moment of excitement.

Damn possessiveness indeed.

He was just like that. If Shanshan hadn't taken the initiative to show goodwill, Li Mu probably wouldn't have felt so awkward.

But Shanshan's thoughts were already obvious, so he treated Shanshan as his own property.

The more he indulged his inner thoughts, the more Li Mu felt that something was wrong with him.

He didn't know whether it was because of his growing strength or if he was just like that.

Shanshan stood up, but still held Li Mu tightly and refused to let go. She raised her head and asked tentatively,

"Master, let Shanshan carry you."

"Wait a minute."

Li Mu waved his hand and looked behind the carriage.

"Have you seen enough? Why don't you come out?"

The next moment, a figure flew out from behind the carriage.

He landed face first and plunged into the puddle in front of Li Mu.

The scarred man did not go far, but walked around and hid behind the car again.

"You're hiding behind us, are you planning to attack us?"

Li Mu spread out his palms and a ball of flame rose out of thin air.

It's not that he wants to judge a person by his appearance, but judging from the scarred man's appearance, he doesn't look like a good person.

The scarred man raised his head with difficulty and his body trembled uncontrollably.

It’s just because the combination of this man and woman in front of me is really weird.

The woman is eight feet tall and the man has a bandage on his face?

Is this the new male and female thief in the underworld?

Why hasn't he heard of it?

"Yin, Yin Yang family?"

The scarred man's voice trembled, and his eyes fell on the flame that Li Mu was playing with in his hand.

"Who are you?"

Li Mu spoke, and did not deny the scarred man's guess.

"My lords, I am Ma Quan, the head of the Zhengtong Escort Agency. Please spare my life for the sake of Mr. Zheng's family."

"This, all of this, is a gift to you two masters."

As he spoke, Ma Quan took out a cloth bag from his arms and raised it above his head respectfully.

Li Mu glanced at the package but did not take it.

Just by the sound made when Ma Quan took out the package, he could roughly judge that there were at least two hundred taels in it.

He remembered Zheng Tong Escort Agency and the Zheng family.

There is a not-too-small aristocratic family in Jing'an City. When they first entered the capital, among the group of rich young men playing in Linglong Waterside Pavilion, there was the young master of the Zheng family.

My impression is that he should be Liu Mingzhe's lackey.

It seems that the other party regards me as a robber.

Li Mu waved his hand, signaling Ma Quan to take the silver back, and then said calmly,

"Have you ever had any ill intentions towards her?"

As he spoke, Li Mu pointed at Shanshan beside him.

Ma Quan was stunned for a moment, and said subconsciously,

"No! The girl is not an ordinary person, I dare not provoke her casually!"

Shit... Li Mu was a little surprised. He looked at the headless corpse beside him and asked unwillingly,

"What about him?"

"Master, I just heard this girl say she was hungry, so I asked my men to bring some dry food..."

This... Li Mu felt a little embarrassed. It seemed that he was really in the wrong.

According to the law, this Ma Quan would definitely not lie.

He tilted his head and glared at Shanshan, then said stubbornly,

"You don't take the official road, but run to this remote path. My Shanshan is timid. You look like... you should know what's going on, right?"

What Li Mu said was totally unreasonable, but it has been a long time since he started to show double standards.

Even though Shanshan lost control and killed someone, he could not let Shanshan pay with her life.

It would be best if the other party is sensible. If not, don't blame him.

After all, he has never been a good person, and he always helps his relatives instead of helping others.

Ma Quan heard Li Mu say this, although it was a little strange, he nodded in agreement.

"Yes, yes! It's all my fault. I offended your disciple. This kid deserves to die. It has nothing to do with you two!"

"Cough cough cough."

Li Mu coughed twice, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of helping Ma Quan up from the ground. Then he thought for a moment and asked tentatively,

"Ten thousand taels!"

"Ten thousand taels?"

Ma Quan was stunned for a moment. All his belongings were only two hundred taels. He was about to kneel down and beg Li Mu for mercy.

Then he heard a "bang" and a large box fell in front of him.

Li Mu raised his hand and opened the box. The silver was neatly arranged, exactly ten thousand taels.

Although considering Shanshan's identity, accidentally killing a bodyguard is not a big deal.

This is the way the world is, lowly, slaves, merchants, good, and noble.

Although Shanshan is not a noble, she is not much different. If you really want to be serious about it, the one who will suffer will be the person in front of you.

However, Li Mu still felt that some compensation should be given.

"Too little?"

Seeing Ma Quan's reaction, Li Mu showed an unhappy expression on his face, but unfortunately, Ma Quan couldn't see it at all.

He was so shocked by the silver in front of him that he lost the ability to think.

Li Mu was too lazy to care about him anymore. To put it bluntly, he was just spending money to buy peace of mind.

Even if he doesn't give her a penny today, Shanshan will be fine.

"Let's go."

Li Mu turned to look at Shanshan and was about to hold her hand.

Unexpectedly, Shanshan took the lead and hugged Li Mu's waist and put him on her back.

"Master, you have worked hard. Shanshan will carry you on her back."

After saying that, the two of them disappeared from the spot.

It was not until the two had left for a long time that Ma Quan came to his senses.

He went forward and rummaged through the box for a long time, confirming that the entire box was filled with silver ingots, and there were indeed 10,000 taels.

Suddenly I felt like I was dreaming.

“Hahahaha, I thought I was going to lose my life, but I didn’t expect it to be a windfall! Ancestors, please bless our Ma family, hahahaha.”

Ma Quan glanced around, quickly closed the box, and carried him back to the carriage.

Then he seemed to have thought of something and hurried to the car behind.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw two half-man-high pieces of inky black ore still safely placed in the carriage.

The ore is pitch black with a hint of silver, like stars in the sky.

Meteorite is the main material for making Xingwei armor.

In the Xing Dynasty, smuggling meteorites and other treasonous activities were serious crimes that could lead to the confiscation of property and extermination of the entire family.

Over the years, he only went out on escort missions on rainy nights, and this road had never been discovered by anyone.

But today I met these two weird people.

Ma Quan was a little confused, not knowing whether he should report the matter.

The temptation of ten thousand taels of silver was too great. If he reported the truth, the silver would most likely not go into his pocket.

If you are not careful, you may end up being considered incompetent and being silenced.

Ma Quan gritted his teeth and immediately decided to keep the matter secret.

The two men were obviously passing by by chance.

As the saying goes, a man cannot become rich without unexpected wealth, and a horse cannot become fat without night grass. Now that the money is in Ma Quan's pocket, even those people can't expect him to spit it out.

……

the other side.

Shan Shan carried Li Mu on her back, and before they had run two miles, she said,

"Master, Shanshan is sleepy."

Before Li Mu could react, the man fell down with his head tilted back.

Fortunately, Li Mu reacted quickly and hugged the girl's waist with his backhand.

However, Shanshan's speed was beyond Li Mu's comprehension.

Li Mu's soles were worn out and sparks were flying under his feet before he could finally stop.

Li Mu looked down at the little girl who was sleeping soundly, and his face darkened instantly.

"I'll settle the score with you later!"

Li Mu lifted his leg and looked at the exposed sole of his foot, and was stunned for a moment.

I was so focused on protecting Shanshan that I had to rely on my feet to brake...

I thought it would be a bloody mess, but there was not even a scratch.

"Could it be just now?"

Li Mu discovered that his physical strength seemed to have increased significantly.

"Is this considered a folk remedy? Letting blood flow out from time to time?"
