Chapter 16 You Couldn't Kill Someone With a Borrowed Knife
As Li Mu came in, there were also a few young eunuchs who wanted to stop him, but Li Mu shouted back and went straight to the main hall without seeing Li Heng.
Li Mu turned around and walked towards the backyard. Yang Fu, the butler of the Prince's Mansion, stopped him while explaining. Li Mu didn't accept this at all, and soon saw Li Heng in the training ground in the backyard.
Li Heng was practicing his sword. Li Heng was also angered by Wei Jian's words. His resentment surged and his anger was difficult to calm down. The sword practice was fake, mainly to vent.
Li Mu glanced around and saw that there were more than twenty guard handles around the training ground. Each one of them had an upright body and a cold look on his face, which made Li Mu sigh.
It's really a double world. There are dozens of servants in my house, all of them are old, weak, sick and disabled who are just hanging around.
There is no harm if there is no comparison. Looking at this formation, a high-ranking person can only look up.
Li Heng's steps were steady, and he held a heavy sword in his hand. He swung it very slowly and powerfully, and his moves were even weirder.
The advantage of the sword is that it is light and quick.
Stabs, picks, and sweeps are the most flexible moves, but Li Heng's moves are useless. Every move Li Heng makes is the clumsiest slash.
Slashing downward, slashing diagonally, and slashing horizontally, each sword seemed to be hitting his enemy.
Li Mu knelt down at the edge of the venue and said loudly: "Li Mu pays homage to His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Li Heng ignored him, and Li Mu simply stood up and took a few steps forward. Yang Fu tried to stop him, but Li Mu pushed him away. Li Mu said, "Third brother, do you want to see my younger brother Li Mu?"
Li Heng suddenly turned around, and the sword in his hand struck Li Mu directly on top of his head.
The wind whistled loudly.
Li Mu was so frightened that he put his head in his hands and shouted loudly: "Third brother, you want to kill me? Father, father, help me!"
Li Heng's sword stopped ten centimeters above Li Mu's head, and Li Mu was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.
Li Heng shouted coldly: "Twenty-one, what are you doing here? There are no rules. Are you the one who broke into the Prince's Mansion?"
Li Mu knelt down and bowed down to Li Heng again. It was not surprising that there were so many people doing it, but he wanted to calm down the atmosphere first.
Li Mu said: "I have nothing to do, so I came to see His Highness the Crown Prince and pay my respects to the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess."
Li Heng sneered and said: "Excuse me? Are you so kind-hearted? It's not a weasel paying New Year's greetings to a rooster. It's not kind-hearted, right?"
Li Mu argued: "I don't dare, I don't dare. The prince has wronged my younger brother. The prince is the crown prince. He is kind and generous. He is the pillar of our Tang Dynasty and a model for all princes. My younger brother's admiration for the prince is like the roar of the Yellow River."
Endless."
Li Mu, a slick and worldly person, a top hat who doesn't want money, and a rainbow fart who lies and doesn't pay taxes, were all thrown at Li Heng.
Show weakness, show weakness, show weakness. Only then can the prince let down his guard against him.
Sure enough, Li Heng felt much more comfortable, but he had no affection for Li Mu.
Among Concubine Wu Hui's sons, Li Heng was the most wary. Two years ago, Li Mao almost stole his crown prince. This hatred was deep-rooted.
Li Heng said: "Get up, you are eloquent, you can tell the dead alive, and you can confuse right and wrong. Do you think I will believe you? Go get the weapon. Since you are here, come and play with me."
Li Heng waved the heavy sword in his hand several times.
Li Mu was dumbfounded. This third brother was so aggressive. Did he regard himself as an enemy?
Want to play with you? You were so cruel that you hacked me to death and then said it was an accidental injury. I have become an unjust ghost. Who can I ask to explain to you?
Li Mu waved his hands hurriedly and said: "Third brother, you know that I have always been a sick person. This is just a little better, so I came to say hello to Third Brother. How can I play with these things?"
Li Heng sneered and said: "Don't do this, you think I will stop after calling you Third Brother a few times? You were in the hall the day before yesterday, but you were high-spirited and arrogant. Stop talking nonsense and pick up the sword."
Li Mu saw that Li Heng was trying to punish himself, and regretted that he should not have come today. He had no way out at this time, so he had no choice but to walk towards the weapons rack, including swords, guns, swords and halberds. Li Mu felt hot to the touch of every item.
In the end, he chose a sword without an edge. He pretended to be unable to hold the sword firmly and dropped it to the ground.
Li Heng inevitably felt a burst of contempt in his heart.
Li Mu approached and said aggrievedly: "Third brother, I really don't know how to play these things. You won't take the opportunity to kill me, right?"
Li Heng shouted: "If you say such crazy things, do you still need me to kill you personally? Take my three swords first and then talk."
Li Mu understood. Li Heng's tone clearly indicated that he had wanted to kill him for a long time. Fortunately, Li Mu had learned the fairy sword for two days, so he should be able to prevaricate.
Li Mu pulled out his sword and made an awkward posture. Li Heng stepped forward and struck down the heavy sword in his hand. This time, he used eight or nine points of strength.
Li Mu hurriedly backed away, holding the sword in his hand upwards, symbolically carrying the sword. Unexpectedly, he immediately felt a fierce murderous aura pouring down.
You must not force it, not even a single move will work, otherwise Li Heng will not let him go.
With a bang, Li Mu's sword fell out of his hands and was cut into two pieces by Li Heng's heavy sword.
Li Mu sucked in a breath of cold air and rolled his body backwards, performing a flat-sand-falling-goose pose with his butt facing backward.
"Third brother, stop, stop, I will admit defeat." Li Mu pretended to be the same and looked at Li Heng miserably.
Li Heng suddenly felt uninterested. What had happened to him? Even a weak younger brother was afraid of him. He was too weak and had lost the dignity of the prince.
A weak person, so weak, Li Heng was too lazy to put in any effort.
Li Heng laughed loudly, feeling relieved a lot from his depression. He threw away his sword, approached Li Mu, and extended his hand.
Li Mu took Li Heng's hand, stood up, immediately gave a thumbs up, and said: "Third brother, your swordsmanship is too domineering. What is your name? How about you teach me in the future?"
Li Heng said: "Sword training is just to strengthen the body. This kind of thing is very murderous. It's okay if you don't learn it. Let's go. Now that you are here, let's go in and talk."
Li Heng pretended to be the boss and wanted to be gentle with this weak twenty-one.
Li Mu hurriedly said: "Third brother, I have something to ask for. I think you, a swordsman, sword, sword and halberd, have whatever you want. How about you lend me a few and I can go back and practice?"
Li Heng asked: "Don't you have one in your house?"
Li Mu said: "Third brother, how can I compare with you? We princes, the weapons in the mansion are all scrap metal and cannot be used at all. There was a thief in the mansion a few days ago and we lost our money.
Take a few back to scare those thieves."
Li Heng pondered for a moment and suddenly asked: "Twenty-one, you're not going to kill someone with a borrowed knife, are you? If something happens, even I will be involved?"
Li Heng's sensitivity shocked Li Mu. This guy was able to remain the prince for more than ten years under the siege of Li Linfu and various sinister forces without wavering. He was really thoughtful and a difficult opponent.
Li Mu argued: "The third brother is too flattering to the younger brother. I don't even dare to kill a chicken. I will just borrow a few unedged swords. If the third brother is afraid of taking responsibility, it will be in vain for me."
Li Heng laughed again, "Forget it, since I am the prince, I will not treat you brothers and sisters badly. Then, I will ask them to give you a few things,"
Li Mu made a scissor gesture in his mind. In fact, he came to see Li Heng today just because he wanted to see Li Heng up close. What kind of goods are they and what is their quality like?
By the way, just to take advantage of the heat, if you get close to Zhu, you must get close to him first. It seems that Li Heng's dislike for him is not as scary as expected, or maybe everyone is acting.
The two of them were talking and walked towards the yard in front. Li Mu suddenly asked: "Third brother, I saw Mr. Wei at the door just now. Mr. Wei looked sluggish. I heard from him that the princess was feeling a little unwell, but it was nothing serious.
Bar?"
Li Heng was startled and said hurriedly: "The Crown Princess occasionally felt cold, but it's nothing serious. As for Mr. Wei, he also heard the news and came here to say hello."
Li Mu said: "That's good. I heard that Mr. Wei is going to be promoted. At this time, walking around randomly will not be good for the third brother."
What Li Heng was most afraid of was interacting with ministers privately. This was Li Longji's most sensitive matter.
Wei Jian, this bastard, should have thanked Li Linfu for being promoted, and went to meet the emperor to express his gratitude. He ran to the Prince's Mansion early in the morning, and was bumped into by Li Mu. What nonsense did he talk about?
Li Heng stopped, looked at Li Mu, and his expression changed: "Twenty-one, you said that Mr. Wei wants to be promoted. Where did you hear it? Don't talk nonsense and create irrelevant details."
Li Mu chuckled and said: "Third Brother, look at what you said, I am a child and nothing. I must be defending you, Third Brother. I have a very strict tone, so I won't talk nonsense everywhere."
Don’t you talk nonsense everywhere? Believe it or not, the anger in Li Heng’s heart was rising.
At this moment, a palace eunuch came in and read out Li Longji's oral instructions: "Your Majesty decrees that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Twenty-first Prince will enter the palace immediately."
