Looking down from above Luoyang City, several men in black scattered out of the county government, fled in different directions, and moved several courtyards, then gathered from different directions to one place. A large plaque at the door revealed the identity of the mansion, Dugu Mansion and Dugu Jia were in a villa in Luoyang.

Luoyang City is not the power of the Dugu family, but as a clan, there is a place to settle in Luoyang City, which is the basis for the title, and other clan families do the same. Of course, it is limited to one mansion. If a transaction is opened in Luoyang City, it involves the issue of territory. Usually, this kind of problem is relatively sensitive and people will not easily cross the line.

Dugu Jiu jumped out of the room, pulled off the face towel, and other men in black fell down one after another. Following Dugu Jiu was Wei Fu, who was good at light skills. He has now become Dugu Jiu's confidant, and he is also a leader among the secret guards of Jinyi.

"How many brothers did we get?"

Wei Fu replied: "Two died and four injured, and the other party is all masters."

"Can you see the sect?"

"I can see some of them vaguely, and it seems that they are deliberately hiding them, and there are also some dead soldiers." Wei Fu made an analysis. In fact, he only said half of them. After a few moves with these people, he knew where these people came from. There was an organization in Jisi Hall that was specifically responsible for assassination. He didn't know the details, but he had heard of some. After all, he was a Snake Spirit. Although the Snake Spirit had a subordinate relationship with Jisi Hall, it was "independently". Unless there was a "business deal" between them, they would not have a briefing on each other.

But he couldn't tell this, so he had to pretend not to know. He felt a little uneasy in his heart. He knew that woman was so powerful. If what happened today was her instructed, it would not be possible to protect Li Mu with the help of the Jinyiwei alone.

Dugu Jiu was silent for a while and said, "Brothers who are injured, heal them well and receive rewards according to the rules. Brothers who are dead will be given double pensions."

"Thank you, the governor."

"It's apart."

Dugu Jiu waved his hand and entered the room. Wei Fu and others went to deal with their companions' bodies, but they looked for a doctor to treat them.

...

“Failed?”

Mrs. Lu was drawing a painting and sketching a few strokes, and the people on the painting became vividly on the paper. The style of the great master was revealed in every move. When she was young, the eldest lady of the Lu family was also a famous figure. Her name was much more than that of Wang Ou in the morning.

"I am incompetent, please punish me!"

"You should indeed be punished," Mrs. Lu put down the pen in her hand and looked at the unfinished person's appearance. The person in the painting should be a teenager, but because she had not yet drawn her eyes, she could not tell her age.

"But it's not because of your incompetence." Mrs. Lu raised her hand, and the man in black who was kneeling on the ground stood up as if he was granted a general amnesty, but he did not dare to look up, let alone look at Mrs. Lu.

"I didn't expect that the Jinyiwei could win over so many good players in just a few months of establishment. Especially the child of the Dugu family, his swordsmanship is so high that he far exceeds my imagination. Today, there should be no more than five people who can compete with him in swordsmanship. It is not unexpected that you can't beat him."

"Please give your subordinate another chance, and you will definitely cut off Li Mu's head and offer it to the master."

"No, it's enough for one time." Mrs. Lu smiled and said, "Just say hello, I didn't want to really kill him. Give you a new mission to kill that waste Lu Zhuo."

"Lu, County Magistrate Lu?" The man in black was shocked. For some reason, Mrs. Lu actually wanted to kill her family. In terms of kinship, County Magistrate Lu was still her cousin.

"What's the use of keeping waste? I'll just lose all the face of the Lu family."

After Mrs. Lu said this, she waved her hand. The man in black did not dare to say anything again. She bowed and took three steps before she dared to turn around and leave. After the man in black left, she came in with a plate of pastry. It was Mama Rong who was accompanying Mama Lu. Seeing her holding a pen and painting again, Mama Rong sighed in her heart, put down the plate, and said, "Miss, the child's eyebrows and eyes must look like you."

Mrs. Lu shook her head, but still didn't write. She hesitated for a while, then put it down again, and said, "I have seen him in my dreams. He looks like his father."

"Miss--"

"It's okay, mama, don't worry." Mrs. Lu smiled, and in her smile, she felt mostly sad. She stretched out her waist and said, "I'm getting older and I'm really getting less and less. I've just been busy for a while and I feel sleepy. Mama, I'll take a break first, so I'll clean up."

"Miss."

Seeing Mrs. Lu leave, Mama Rong packed the table and rolled up the unfinished painting, like countless paintings without eyes before, placed them on the special shelf behind her.

...

In the county government, Li Mu woke up Su Dingfang and others who were stunned, comforted Bai Qiaoqiao, who was frightened, and called Jin Chen to the next door.

"Do you still carry the holy fire with you?"

"Well," Jin Chen said, then reached into his arms and said, "Do you want it? I'll give it to you."

"No need." Li Mu held her hand and said, "I won't practice the martial arts. I'm asking you, how have you practiced?"

A trace of gloom flashed in Jin Chen's eyes. She thought Li Mu hadn't forgiven her yet, but she didn't mention it again. She answered honestly: "I'm not as good as you. Now I have only practiced to the third level."

Li Mu remembered that the Holy Fire Order recorded that the mind method of the Great Transfer of the Universe was recorded in the first level, practiced diligently, and achieved in seven years. The second level, those with high understanding can achieve success in seven years, and those with poor understanding can achieve fourteen years. If they have not succeeded in twenty-one years, they can only stop at the second level in this life and must not practice the third level, otherwise they will definitely become possessed by the fire.

After passing the third floor, the fourth and fifth floors will progress much faster, and another obstacle will come to the sixth floor. Jin Chen has no system in his body, and being able to cross the gap between the second and third floors in such a short time can be considered a genius. In another New Year, her internal strength will reach a terrible state.

"I have learned the mental method, but my body method is still much worse." After calm analysis, Li Mu came to the conclusion that he returned the Holy Fire Order to Jin Chen and explained to her his experience when practicing the Great Transfer of the Universe. This is a very rare experience for Jin Chen. The inheritance of Zoroastrianism was also like this before, but since the loss of the Holy Fire Order, the inheritance of this experience has been cut off. If Jin Chen has someone to give advice, her progress will be faster.

"Don't you really not practice again?" Jin Chen plucked up the courage and said, "Didn't you say that the internal strength of the Great Transfer of the Universe is an excellent and superior mental method. You have better talents than me. Even if you have lost your own life, it will not be difficult to practice again, right?"

"It's not difficult, but for me, this is not the most suitable technique." Li Mu did not explain too much, but said that he had more suitable internal skills, so that Jin Chen could practice well, and strive to break through the third level as soon as possible. After breaking through the third level, she could practice and use all the advanced body movements on the Holy Fire Order. Generally, martial arts masters are no match for her.

A master of internal skills can use internal breathing instead of sleep. After seeing Jin Chen enters meditation, Li Mu quietly exits the room and arrives at the courtyard next to him. This is where he puts things on. He packs up the luggage from Luoyang City, and most of the time he is still in the car and has not been unloaded.

Li Mu called Su Dingfang and asked him to take a few people to unload his anvil and other items from the car. Li Mu fiddled with these things, and was already familiar with them, and soon put them in place. Regardless of whether it was the middle of the night, the fire rose and put a piece of metal ingot filled in a box into the fire.

In order to make the metal ingot melt quickly, Li Mu spent 2,000 guan to buy two portions of "forging catalyst" from the system store and threw it in. The furnace temperature rose instantly and the metal ingot melted.

This metal ingot is the small piece left when Li Mu built the armor for Li Chongyi. The alloy was mixed with meteorite and other objects, which was not easy to obtain. But the remaining piece was too small, and nothing was needed to create, so Li Mu did not use it and kept it in a box.

When encountering this group of killers today, Li Mu realized that he had to have the ability to protect himself. He did not plan to practice other people's internal skills. After practicing the Great Movement of the Universe, he mastered some tricks and gained some confidence in his own internal skills. However, this move was not easy to deal with. He had no basic foundation, and it was too difficult to imagine moves out of thin air.

But can living people still be suffocated to death? If you can't be melee combat, just be long-range! If you can't get close to the enemy, can't you solve the problem?

Ranged heroes...

Li Mu thought of something, and he was going to build this thing now. After the financialization, under the hammer, he turned into three inches and seven minutes long iron tires, no more or less, just twelve iron tires, which changed shapes under Li Mu's hammer, and finally formed into a flying knife.

Horrible—

Two hours later, the sound of quenching sounded, and Li Mu took the flying knife out of the water. He held it in his hand and looked at it. It was three inches and seven minutes, and there was a word "Li" at the hilt. He tried to inject his true energy into the flying knife. The tip of the knife faintly forced a trace of the blade. In the night, it was about six or seven inches long, about twice as long.

Li Mu turned around and looked at the eaves of the corridor dozens of meters northwest.

"Go!"

With a light shout, he didn't see how he took action. The flying knife in his hand had disappeared. In the night, the speed of silver light flashing was almost out of reach. Looking at the eaves of the corridor, there was a hole in it. The flying knife that Li Mu threw out actually penetrated the eaves about a foot wide in the lightning and shivered, and nailed to the rockery rock behind it.

If this is a person, there must be an extra hole for seeing the light on both sides.

"Isn't this done?"

Li Mu made the same mistake and made twelve flying knives, each six with a leather case.

"Xiao Li's flying swords reappeared in the world. There are only twelve swords at once. I still don't believe it. You can come by more than ten or twenty every time!"

Li Mu gritted his teeth and tied two leather holsters, one to his arms and the other to his legs. After trying it, he was still easy to get it, and he smiled with satisfaction.

After extinguishing the fire, Li Mu returned to the house. Bai Qiaoqiao was already asleep. He was afraid that he would get into the quilt and bring the cold wind to cool her, so he lay beside her through the quilt. Turning sideways, looking at Bai Qiaoqiao's sleeping look, Li Mu suddenly remembered the ridiculous things that the three of them were sleeping in the big quilt when Li Zhien was there. At that time, it was really a bit of a young man who didn't know the sorrow.

I don't know how Zhien is doing.

Li Mu murmured, closed his eyes and saw the Dao Biaoshi representing Pangda in the system, and hesitated again whether to find Wang Ou. There was also Zhang Tianai who was far away in Gaochang and waiting for his news. He owed these love debts, and he didn't know if he would bear the debts he would bear in the end.

There is also the Luoyang thing in front of him. Without Li Shimin's protection, how to open up the situation in Luoyang City has become the primary problem he is currently facing. Unlike Chang'an, Luoyang City has no emperor or court, and the constraints of power are not that great. Moreover, a predetermined pattern has been formed here. To break this situation, you must have a way to break the situation.

This is a bit more troublesome.

When he was in Chang'an, there was imperial power above his head. Li Mu relied on Li Shimin's protection and could do whatever he wanted and was attracted by the interests. But now in Luoyang, the major forces in Luoyang were originally forces that were against him. Their attitude was that I would rather not have interests than interact with you, Li Mu.

If there is a benefit, others don’t want it, what if it does?

Li Musi thought about this matter, if he didn't choose to bow his head, he could only make an idea from Li Shimin. But whether it was bowing his head or making an idea from Li Shimin, it was not what Li Mu wanted. He was rushing to the Lu, Zheng, and Cui families. There was no good deal. He turned around and looked for Li Shimin, and he seemed incompetent. He had to think of a way to ask them to find themselves first.

Li Mu thought about it and fell asleep until dawn was almost dawn. He thought of two ways, but he still didn't know if it could be done. He slept until noon. When he woke up, Bai Qiaoqiao had already gotten up. Li Mu came out of the house and wanted to find something to eat, but he heard someone talking in the yard, and the sound was still a little familiar. He looked over the sound and saw a handsome young man chatting with his wife, and the two of them were talking and laughing.

Li Mu was furious immediately. He walked over with great strides, put it on the young master's shoulder, and pushed his hand backwards, raised his hand and wanted to hit him. Seeing this, Bai Qiaoqiao hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Husband, don't hit him!"

"Oh, are you still protecting him?" Li Mu got even more angry. He was either suspicious of Bai Qiaoqiao and this young master, or simply seeing someone talking and laughing with his wife, and he felt uncomfortable.

"He is-" Before Bai Qiaoqiao could say it, the young master shouted: "Teacher, see who I am?"

"Mr. Master? Bah, I don't have an apprentice like you-" Li Mu was about to fight again, and suddenly his hand stopped in the air. He looked at the young man in front of him carefully, and vaguely saw a little familiarity between his eyebrows.

"You, are you Li Tai?"
