The appearance of Li Mu changed the whole thing a lot. Seeing that the two of them seemed to have something to say, Ye Batian didn't bother to participate, so he took Ye Qingshan to the garden.

There were two people left in the long corridor, deserted.Li Mu turned his head to look at his garden for a while, and couldn't say what he had thought up a long time ago after turning around a few times.

It was Lin Dong who spoke first, "What is your relationship with Li Sheng?"

"After all, it's my uncle and nephew." Li Mu said, "It's just a distant relative. My parents died young and I have been fostered by my uncle's house. The position of general was also recommended by him..."

He paused, "I admire General Zang very much, and I always want to use him as an example. I have heard many stories about him from my uncle."

Lin Dong nodded, "So you recognized Brother Fei Long from the very beginning?"

"No, it was just a suspicion at first, and it was confirmed later. But seeing that you have been hiding your identities, I don't know how to bring it up, and besides, I myself..."

Speaking of this, Lin Dong became curious, "Why did you hide your name? Why were you injured?"

Li Mu's face was warm and angry, he flicked his cuffs lightly, and said: "I was framed by someone, and I have always wanted to figure it out!"

Seeing his unruffled appearance, Lin Dong rolled his eyes and guessed, "Haotian?"

"Of course it's him." Li Mu nodded, "Xiao Mister is really smart, and he can't hide anything from you."

Lin Dong sat on the railing of the long corridor, looked up at him, "Li Sheng and Haotian are at odds with each other, since you have a relationship with the Li family, Haotian naturally wants to get your idea... Could it be that he wants to recommend One of your own?"

"That's right." Li Mu praised: "Haotian has always been in charge of literature, and my uncle has great power in the military department. Although the two fought fiercely, it has never been like this. I didn't expect that Haotian's tentacles have stretched so long There are people from Haotian in the barracks who even conspired with the enemy to set up a trap. Fortunately, my lieutenant general found out in time and rescued me, but he..."

Li Mu stretched out his hand and thumped hard at the pillar, the anger on his face seemed to have been suppressed for too long, so that his face was slightly deformed.

"But I can't take revenge!"

Lin Dong frowned, "The general's head hanging on the city wall could be..."

"It's my lieutenant general. The enemy army mistook him for me. That's why I had time to escape." He raised his head and looked at Ye Batian, who was introducing his younger brother in the garden in front of him. Slightly relieved, "I'm also glad that I was helped by Mr. Ye..."

Lin Dong chewed on the information, and suddenly said: "Why did Haotian's people conspire with the enemy... Could it be that he wants to seek peace?"

"Sir, it's right!" Li Mu clapped his palms together, "After that, Haotian has been advocating self-cultivation, managing the internal affairs well, and even proposed to cede land for peace!"

"What does the emperor say?"

"The emperor... is noncommittal." Li Mu seemed disappointed and shook his head, "I can't understand the current court, nor can I understand the emperor."

Lin Dong lowered his head and looked at his fingers. He was stunned for a while, and when Li Mu called him a few times, he came back to his senses and murmured: "It's better not to fight against Haotian recently."

"What do you mean?" Li Mu was taken aback, "What does Mr. Xiao know?"

"I don't know, but I'm just guessing." Lin Dong got up and said, "Let Li Sheng also restrain himself, it's best to avoid Haotian's edge for the time being. It's better to pretend to be sick for a while."

"What's the meaning of this?!" Li Mu's pretty brows frowned. He looked refined and elegant, and his gestures had his own temperament. Like a king like a jade, he frowned, but he was not angry and prestige.It really tastes like galloping on the battlefield.

"You can't talk nonsense about this matter, but if you guess correctly, you can save Li Sheng's life." Lin Dong shook his head, his eyes were full of troubles, and sighed: "Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger."

Li Mu frowned even tighter. Although Lin Dong didn't know it, he knew that he had seen Li Xing secretly before, and heard Li Xing say these words with a sigh.

Although the tone is not exactly the same, the feeling is the same.

Li Mu knew that some things should not be said carelessly, so he stopped asking, and changed the subject, "Zang... Where's Brother Lin?"

"I asked him to do other things first, although it was just in case, but now it seems that it is just right."

Li Mu asked, "When will he come?"

"Fast, maybe a few months, slow, maybe a year."

Li Mu nodded, and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation, "You can live in my house when you enter Chang'an. The orchid garden in the north is quiet, maybe it suits you sir."

Lin Dong straightened his mind and changed his expression, "I prefer the ones near the kitchen."

……

That night, as soon as the lights were turned on, a young servant came to report at the back door, saying that Mr. Li Sheng had come.

At this moment, Lin Dong was sitting in the hall eating snacks while chatting with Ye Batian, when he heard this, he just raised his eyes to look at Li Mu who was sitting in the main seat, his face was neither surprised nor panicked.

It was expected that Li Mu would look for Li Sheng. It would be strange if he didn't.

Li Mu waved his hand, stood up, flicked his fingers on the hem where there was no dust, and straightened his sleeves.

Ye Batian squatted on the position like a monkey, looked at him, "Who's here?"

"My uncle." Li Mu stared at him inadvertently, "Sitting is good, you want the elders to see you like this?"

Ye Batian clicked his tongue, slipped from the chair, and sat down.Ye Qingshan asked from the side: "Brother, aren't you going back to the village?"

Lin Dong noticed that Li Mu looked over, and he couldn't tell from his expression whether he cared or didn't care, as if he was waiting for Ye Batian's answer.

Ye Batian propped his cheeks with his hands, his baby face wrinkled, "It's so comfortable to live here, with food, clothing and someone to serve you."

The corner of Li Mu's mouth seemed to twitch inadvertently.

"However... I'm still a little tired after living for a long time."

The corners of Li Mu's mouth twitched, and he coughed, "If you want to leave, just say so, and I'll send someone to see you off."

"This is the attitude towards a lifesaver?!" Ye Batian slapped the table angrily, "Ingratitude!"

Li Mu rolled his eyes, "I'm ungrateful when you say you have food and clothing and someone to serve you? Tell me yourself, how are you fooling around these days?"

Ye Batian was disdainful, "Didn't you just play with the troupe?"

"That's called playing?" Li Mu's eyes twitched, "You don't sit in the seat of the general's mansion, you go to join some third-rate theater troupe, and even go to battle yourself, let someone practice boxing with you, and make a bet!"

Ye Batian's eyeballs rolled around, like an unfilial son caught by Lao Tzu, but he felt that he was quite short in stature.

"Don't think I don't know." Li Mu snorted, "I have eyes all over Chang'an."

Hearing this, Lin Dong felt a sudden thump in his heart, as if some spiritual light flashed through his mind, but it disappeared quickly, and he didn't have time to catch it.

It was the first time Ye Qingshan saw his elder brother being scolded, and he sat by the side with his mouth open.

While several people were talking, Li Sheng had already arrived outside.

"Mu'er!" Li Sheng entered in a hurry and patted his shoulders. It seemed to be raining lightly outside, and his shoulders were slightly wet.

As soon as he entered the door, he looked around, maybe he didn't see the person he wanted to see, and finally his eyes paused on the faces of Ye Batian and others, and fell on the gentle-looking little scholar beside him.

"You are……?"

Lin Dong stood up and saluted politely, "Lately born Lin Dong, I have met Master Li."

"Hey, don't be too polite." Li Sheng hurried forward to support him, and then took a closer look at the person, "Well, it's the same as what Li Mu and Li Yan said, he really is a likable child."

He asked Lin Dong to sit, but he himself was not in the main seat, he just lifted his robe and sat next to Lin Dong, he didn't seem to have any airs, but he was friendly and friendly.

"Don't worry, we stopped Zhang Zijian's shipment by ourselves. He must have thought it was you who made it."

Lin Dong stood up again, "I'm sorry to trouble you, sir, thank you, sir."

"Hey, you don't need to be too polite!" Li Xing tapped on the table, "We are in the same boat, and we should help each other."

As he said that, he deliberately asked, "I don't know how your elder brother is...how?"

Lin Dong nodded, "Of course he is also very grateful to Sir, and also very grateful to Sir for not forgetting his... family."

"That must not be forgotten!" Li Shengyi said righteously: "Soldiers are on the front line defending our home and country, how can we just care about our own safety! Haotian's actions are really despicable actions of a villain, how can we condone his lawlessness !"

Lin Dong saw that his face was flushed and his veins were swollen, so he helped him to pour some tea, and said, "On behalf of the elder brother, I thank you for your kindness. Don't get angry, please be careful."

The two were polite again, Li Sheng drank tea, wiped his mouth, and said, "I heard that your eldest brother is still coming to Chang'an, what is he going to do?"

Lin Dong was silent for a while, and slowly clenched his hands in his sleeves. After a while, he said, "Actually, I have a merciless request."

Li Sheng and Li Mu looked at each other, puzzled, "What's the matter?"

"I want Mr. Li to introduce me to a trustworthy... killer, the kind responsible for the assassination."

Li Sheng was taken aback, and frowned, "What does this mean?"

"I want to hire a killer to get rid of Haotian..." Lin Dong raised his head, his big dark eyes were shining with determination, he didn't avoid it, but it made Li Sheng panic.

"This...how can this be done? Haotian is now an extremely human minister, and there are so many masters around him, it is even more difficult to get close to him!"

Li Mu also said: "I heard that there are traps and hidden weapons in his bedroom. There are never fewer than eight masters hiding around, and there are at least ten people accompanying him every day. If you want to assassinate, it is more difficult than climbing to the sky."

Ye Qingshan let out a snort, "Isn't that the emperor's grandeur?"

Li Mu frowned, "For the sake of you being Batian's younger brother, let me remind you for now. This is Chang'an, some things can't be said casually."

Ye Qingshan stuck out his tongue, but Ye Batian on the other side didn't agree, and looked at him squinting with raised eyebrows, "What's wrong with Chang'an City? I'm also the same as the imperial palace. I can go in if I want, and get out if I want!"

Saying that, Ye Batian looked at Lin Dong, "You want to kill Haotian? That's not easy, give me the money, and I'll go!"

"no!"

"no!"

The unanimous words came from two different voices, one was Li Mu and the other was Li Sheng.

Li Sheng was slightly astonished, and looked at his nephew, who was a little embarrassed, and said slowly, "This is not a joke, you are so arrogant, you will hurt yourself sooner or later."

Li Sheng also nodded, "This is definitely not an easy task. Although all of you are skilled, I, Chang'an, are not without talents."

After speaking, he turned his head and said in disapproval: "Killer, I can introduce, but I don't think there are any killers who are willing to continue the list."

The light in Lin Dong's eyes dimmed, and he knew it would not be that easy, but he couldn't help holding on to a little hope.

Li Sheng sized him up, "Why do you want to assassinate him? Your elder brother...doesn't want to take revenge with his own hands?"

Lin Dong didn't answer, stared at his toes for a while, and then said suddenly: "Since that's the case, is there any way, sir, to send me to Haotian's side?"

Li Sheng was taken aback, "This... I haven't tried it, I don't know..."

"Then try it."

Li Xing looked at Li Mu suspiciously, and the latter shook his head, obviously also in a daze.

Li Sheng thought for a while, "I can promise you to try, but you have to tell me why."

Lin Dong's eyes slowly swept across the crowd. Only the three of them could understand many parts of their conversation. Ye Batian and Ye Qingshan had bewildered and bewildered expressions.

Li Mu and Li Xing, on the other hand, were serious and dignified. Looking at Li Xing again, although he was asking, he already understood a little bit in his heart.

There was silence in the room, except for the sound of breathing, the rain outside became heavier, pattering, beating in the water tank under the eaves, ding ding dong dong.

Lin Dong spoke, his voice clearly passed through the rain curtain, waking everyone up, "Because it was not Haotian who wanted to kill the general back then, but the current emperor."
