Chapter 682: Heartless
text
"Have you found someone?"
Li Siwen shook his head, Li Chongyi also shook his head. Li Mu looked at Su Dingfang and others, all shook his head. Li Mu sighed, gritted his teeth, and said, "Go and find Elder Jin."
Not long after, Elder Jin came, and she seemed not surprised at all that Li Mu would look for her, but she was a little nervous in her eyes because she didn't know how Li Mu would treat her.
Li Muping stepped back and asked, "Where is Jin Chen now? Please let her come to see me."
"She has left." Elder Jin took out a sachet from his sleeve and wanted to hand it to Li Mu, but Li Mu refused to answer it, saying, "I said a long time ago that I have no affection for her, and I don't want her such a thing."
Elder Jin opened the sachet, and there was a Holy Fire Order inside. No wonder the sachet was larger than normal. When Li Mu saw the Holy Fire Order, he did not reach out to pick it up and said, "This is your treasure of the sect. What does it have to do with me? Don't! I want to see her, I have something to say to her."
Elder Jin put away the Holy Fire Order and said, "She has left, I don't know where she is going. The Marquis doesn't believe it, and he has no choice."
"There's no way?" Li Mu glared and said, "Old woman, have you not recognized the situation in front of you? Do you believe me or not, you can kill all your tribe members by killing me? Do you think I can't do it?"
"The Marquis doesn't need to say such harsh words. If the Marquis were such a person, he would not have saved us that day. Lao Shi hadn't told you on purpose, and he really didn't know. She came to find Lao Shi last night, but she just gave me the Holy Fire Order and asked me to find an opportunity to give it to the Marquis. The Marquis didn't want it, so Lao Shi would just take care of it. Lao Shi really didn't know about other things."
Li Mu's face turned pale with anger. He took a deep breath, suppressed the fire in his heart, and said, "Can you tell me, her, me, and her, that two of us--"
Elder Jin looked at him indifferently, as if he didn't understand.
Li Mu gritted his teeth and said, "I got drunk yesterday! I woke up and found that I was not dressed. I mean, did she treat me--"
"Mr. Marquis, you are a man. Is this the opposite?"
"I didn't say anything against me!" Li Mu shouted, "What did I say about me? She thought I was good-looking, so I took advantage of it? Have you never seen a beauty? My wife, my concubine, which woman is worse than her? Do you know how many big girls and wives in Chang'an fall in love with me? I'm not that kind of person, do you know? If I were such a person, I would change one a day and never bring a different one for a year! Now I'm at a loss, do I understand?"
Seeing that Elder Jin was indifferent, Li Mu became even more angry and gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's not talk about whether to suffer losses or not. I must know whether it happened? What if she had done something and had my flesh and blood? I must have the right to know, right? And! Yesterday she...when she was wrong to me, she might have been seen by my third wife. She must explain it to me clearly, but... me!"
"Oh!" Li Mu was so anxious that he turned around. Elder Jin still had the expressionless expression. Li Mu sat down angrily, looked at Elder Jin, and said, "You old lady, don't you want to say a word to me?"
“I really don’t know.”
"Okay!" Li Mu yelled Li Siwen in and said, "Go tell Nishu, and drive all the idle people from Camel Valley to Yili to eat soil. If you deserve it, go!"
"Brother, this..." Li Siwen didn't understand what happened, Qiqiai Ai said, "Is this OK? They are all innocent..."
"Get out! Just go if you want to go, what's the point!"
"Hey," Li Siwen did not dare to disobey, responded repeatedly, turned around and went out. Li Mu looked at Elder Jin and said, "Hey, what a cruel heart, I don't care about your tribe at all?"
"They rebelled with the Yin clan and were no longer considered members of the Yin clan." Elder Jin was calm and composed and said, "Even if the Marquis drove the old son to Yili, the old son would have nothing to say. I don't know, I just don't know. The Marquis can't let the old son lie to you."
"Okay, you can do it!"
Li Mu called Li Siwen over again and said, "Prepare this old woman, her tribe members, and those in Camel Valley. If I don't have me, no one is allowed to be let go, no food is allowed, no water is allowed, and those who violate the order are killed!"
"Brother, there are many elderly, weak, women and children-"
"Didn't you hear what I said clearly?!"
"I heard it clearly." Li Siwen didn't know why Li Mu was so angry, but he knew that Li Mu was really angry and didn't dare to ask again. He went out to do business. Elder Jin looked at Li Mu, and Li Mu also looked at her. After a long time, Elder Jin said, "The Marquis is the real cruel person. Do you have to do things so resolutely?"
"What I hate the most is that I am forced to do things by others. She first kidnapped my people, and then kidnapped me with morality. Now I will give me a unclear and think what I am? Let me tell you old lady, no matter what the rules of your Hidden tribe are, women are superior to men or men are superior to women, I have to obey my rules here! It is absolutely impossible to let me do things according to your ideas. It is OK to be foolish with me, you can do whatever you want, but I am not in the mood to play with you. I will do what I say and kill, it is too exciting and cruel. I can't bear it, so I starve you, starve to death and bury the other one. I am also very curious whether people will eat when they are hungry!"
"Why is your heart so cruel!"
"Come, take this old woman away!"
The imperial guards took Elder Jin away, and Li Mu followed him out. On the street outside the yamen, Su Dingfang and his soldiers were driving people, driving all the Hidden Clan brought by Elder Jin from Camel Valley out of the city. Outside the city, the cavalry led by Li Siwen intercepted them, and surrounded them in a corner under the city wall.
In the evening, Zepi also brought the people from Camel Valley. These people had nothing but their clothes. The cold wind gradually rose at night, and there was nothing to keep the cold. They had to squeeze together in groups of three or three, and the wailing sounds could be heard everywhere.
The torches were clear on the city wall, and Li Mu looked at the miserable situation outside the city wearing a big bear cloak, with no expression on his face. Li Ji and Hou Junji had both come, but they all had no choice but to persuade them. Li Mu seemed to be determined and must put these people to death.
"Come!"
Su Dingfang came to the front of him and said, "The last one is here!"
"Call the men in the crowd aside, and give each person a shovel and let them dig a hole next to them."
Su Dingfang was confused and said, "Marty, why do you want to dig a hole?"
"That is to me, before noon tomorrow, a huge pit of three meters long and three meters deep must be dug out, and hundreds of people cannot be dug out. Before tomorrow, if the person I want to see does not appear again, I will buried all the people here, no one of them, no one of them, no one of them, no one of them, no one of them, no one of them, no one of them, no one of them, no one of them, no one of them, no one of them, no one of them, no one of them, no one of them, no one of them, no one of them, no one of them will survive!"
"Marty!" Su Dingfang knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Marty thinks twice, this - this is not a benevolent act, and may damage the reputation of the Marquis!"
"This marquis is a 'blood-handed man'. I want a reputation for being a marquis? Instead of worrying about when something will happen, it is better to kill them all and end them all! Go and pass the order, are you going to disobey this marquis?"
"I dare not!" Su Dingfang wanted to say something else, but seeing Li Mu's face turned pale, he still didn't dare to say it, and ran outside the city to pass the order.
After a while, amid the crying, the men of the Hidden Clan began to dig holes. Some of them were eager to resist, but they were not the opponents of the Tang Iron Cavalry surrounding them. After being whipped a few times, they all became honest.
Looking at the deeper and deeper pit, the Hidden Clan people seemed to have premonitioned their fate and started crying loudly. From time to time, there were voices of cursing Li Mu and Jin Chen, but they were immediately drowned by the growing cry.
"Let my tribe members go, I'm here."
Suddenly, a voice sounded behind Li Mu. Li Mu turned around and saw that it was a guard beside him, with a thick beard, but his voice was Jin Chen's. Li Mu sneered and reached out to grab the man's face. Sure enough, he tore off a thin mask and came down.
Li Mu threw away the mask, looked at Jin Chen in front of him, and said, "Your disguise skills have improved so quickly. How long has it been since you were already out of your reach."
"You've seen through me long ago?"
"I just figured it out." Li Mu looked at Jin Chen's eyes and said, "The Elder Jin I met today should be you?"
Jin Chen didn't say anything, as if he had made a promise.
"Actually, I didn't see it. It was just when you just stood up, I suddenly discovered something in common between you and Elder Jin I met today. Whether it was this guard or the Elder Jin I met today, your eyes were the same - Jin Chen, what exactly do you want to do?"
"I like--"
"I don't like you, I even hate you a little! Everything you do so far is stupid. Maybe you think you are very smart, but in my eyes, you are stupid, and you might as well do nothing!"
"I really like you!" Jin Chen suddenly became brave, interrupted Li Mu's words, and shouted in a louder voice, "I know I'm stupid, but I don't know how to do it! I have never left Camel Valley, I don't know how to deal with things outside. First, the leader doesn't like me, and no one has taught me how to do it. I just did what I think I should do. What did I do wrong? This time, I want to hand myself over to you, even if I know you don't like me. I want to give you the Holy Fire Order, I want you to recite it, to the little bit of friendship between us, and to properly place my tribe members. This is the only thing I can do for them. Am I wrong again?"
"Ha!" Li Mu was angry and said, "You mean, you like me, so you gave yourself to me. But you said again, you want me to place your tribe members well, so can I understand this way? Do you use yourself to exchange for me to place your tribe members well?"
Jin Chen said in a panic, "I don't mean that--"
"That's what you mean!" Li Mu choked Jin Chen's words back and pointed at her and said, "You stupid woman, even if you don't mean this, I can't not think that way if you do this! Your way will only make me hate you even more, and I hate you very much!"
"I……"
"You've met my ladies, do you know who I like the most?"
"Is it... it's Mrs. Qiaoqiao?"
"Yes, it's Qiaoqiao! Of course it's Qiaoqiao!" Li Mu said seriously, "Jiaoqiao is not the most outstanding one among my wife, literary talent, appearance, scheming, and scheming. But I love her the most, do you know why?"
A layer of mist was covered in Jin Chen's eyes and said, "How could I know? If I had known-"
"I tell you," Li Mu said seriously, "there is no complicated reason. It's very simple, very simple. Because she loves me the most, and in her eyes and heart, it's all me. I like it, she doesn't like it, and she won't hate it. She won't do it if I don't like it. Because she knows that I will be unhappy because of it, and she feels sorry for me and don't want to see me unhappy."
"But what about you, you know that I will be unhappy to do this, but you don't care. You just want to do this. You think that you have done this proves your love for me. I will feel your love for you and then love you again. Do you think this is not ridiculous?"
"I may have a little affection for you, but the things you did make me unable to love you!" After Li Mu said that, he stopped looking at her. After a while, he said with some regret, "I still like you who brought me a bowl of porridge in Lichunyuan. It's a pity that's not the real you-"
"I can--"
"You go." Li Mu interrupted Jin Chen's words and suddenly groaned, leaving a trace of blood on his lips. Jin Chen saw it and was stunned. She grabbed Li Mu's wrist and found his pulse was upset, and murmured, "You, you have nullified your internal strength? Do you hate me so much?"
"I will arrange your tribe members well. After learning the martial arts of your Holy Fire Sect, I will give it to you too. Let's not see you in this life."
"Do you hate me like this?"
"Where does hatred come from without love? You think too much, let's go,"
Li Mu wiped off the blood from the corner of his mouth and hunched down the city wall. Li Chongyi walked over, blocked Jin Chen's sight, and looked down at her. "My elder brother said, let you go. If you don't leave, I will chop you up, will you go?"
Jin Chen held back his tears, turned around, and walked forward step by step. The two of them were on the city wall, facing each other, gradually moving away step by step. Li Chongyi looked at Jin Chen, and murderous intent burst out in his eyes. Suddenly, Li Mu called him, and Li Chongyi sighed helplessly, responded, and followed.
Under the city wall, Su Dingfang had already called on the people who dug the pit and asked them to fill it up again. He also asked the chef to make a fire, keep them warm and cook, and told them that they would find a place to settle them tomorrow. Everyone survived from death and were all excited. The people who had just scolded Li Mu began to praise his merits again.
Back at the government office, Li Siwen brought jiang soup to drive away Li Mu and asked, "Brother, how do you plan to resettle these people?"
Li Mu thought for a while and said, "I will go to Gaochang tomorrow, take them all with me, and find a place to settle them in Gaochang."
