The stars twinkled in the night sky, and Li Mu sighed quietly as he rested his sword on his pillow.

A man, also armed with a sword, came towards him along the eaves.

When Li Mu heard the movement, he subconsciously held the scabbard under his pillow and listened carefully.

After listening carefully for a while, I recognized who the person was from the sound of the Qinggong steps.

After recognizing who the person was, Li Mu released the tension around his body, loosened his grip on the sword, and focused on the twinkling stars again.

When the visitor came to his side, he looked down at his leisurely look and laughed loudly.

Li Mu frowned subconsciously and put his fingertips on his lips to signal him to be silent.

"The girl is sleeping in the inner room of the yard. Qin Yue, please don't make too much noise or disturb her." His voice was low, as if he was dissatisfied with the visitor's laughter.

When Qin Yue heard this, his expression was full of inquiry, and he said curiously: "I haven't seen you for a year and a half, Li Mu, and you have begun to wander around Wenwen Township. I don't know that the oiran who saved Luoyang in the first place provoked the oiran to recommend himself as a pillow, but he was

Who was the person who disguised himself and sent him to the frontier to serve your grandfather with soup?"

Six months ago, when Li Mu was in Luoyang looking for evidence of the Luoyang governor's affair with the Tatars, he happened to stumble upon the young master torturing a prostitute in the courtyard of the governor's house.

That person was none other than Yun Niang, the former Luoyang courtesan.

He rescued her at that time and took her out of the Luoyang guard general's house. However, he did not expect that rescuing others would also cause trouble for himself.

Qin Yue's words reminded Li Mu of the troublesome incident half a year ago. He frowned in displeasure, but did not speak to him.

At this time, after washing, Linglong opened the window with her hair loose, stuck her head out, and shouted towards the window of the study with the light on: "Li Mu, what time will you come back to sleep at night? Do you want me to give you a bath?"

Leave the light on."

Linglong's words reached the ears of the two people on the roof. Qin Yue couldn't bear his curiosity and lowered his head to look at the window where Linglong was under the eaves.

This time when I lowered my head, I really saw her exquisite face.

"You..." Qin Yue turned around and looked at Li Mu, but hesitated to speak.

Li Mu raised his hand and touched his mute point, then put him down on the eaves and said in a low voice: "It will be resolved in a quarter of an hour."

After saying this, he climbed through the window and entered the study from the other side.

Linglong called out on the other end but received no answer. She frowned in confusion and shouted again: "Li Mu, what am I asking you? Did you hear it?"

Li Mu, who had just entered the study, coughed lowly and replied in a loud voice: "I will wait for a while. You should go to bed earlier. Aren't you having trouble sleeping when you see the lights on at night? Just turn off all the lights. Don't worry about me."

What kind of lamp is left?"

When Linglong heard this outside, she glared in the direction of the window unhappily. Thinking that Li Mu had already taken time to spend with her today, it was not good to disturb him any more, so she said, "Okay." She raised her hand.

The doors and windows were closed, and the lamps were also blown out.

The inner room was dark, and Qin Yue, who had acupuncture points on the roof, secretly cursed Li Mu for being so ungrateful. He didn't say anything, but actually tapped his mute acupuncture points.

Qin Yue suppressed the complaints in his heart and followed him through the window into the study a quarter of an hour later.

As soon as he entered the study room, before he saw Li Mu, he cursed: "You Li Mu, I didn't say anything, but you tapped my dumb point. Let me ask you, since you like this one, why?"

I didn’t accept that Yun Niang back then.”

In the study room, Li Mu listened to Qin Yue's irrelevant words, frowned and scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about."

"Am I talking nonsense? You, the pampered girl from Jinwuzang, are so similar to Yun Niang, and yet you say you don't like this girl." Qin Yue smiled narrowly.

Li Mu's face turned even darker.

"The girl who lives in this courtyard is an old friend of mine when I was young. Don't try to slander her reputation."

When Qin Yue heard Li Mu's words, he patted his head and seemed to have thought of something, and replied: "An old friend from childhood? That is to say, you know this girl in front of you, and save Yun Niang in the back? No wonder, no wonder, you go there

I stole evidence of collaborating with the enemy from the Luoyang guard's house, and also stole an oiran back. It turns out that this oiran is very similar to your childhood sweetheart."

After Qin Yue finished speaking, Li Mu raised his hand and hit him with the wolf hair in his hand.

This blow used 70% of Li Mu's internal force, and the bones Li Mu was hit by directly felt a faint pain.

Li Mu's voice was also very deep: "I saved Gu Yunniang because I don't want to see dirty things. It has nothing to do with her appearance."

What he said is indeed half true.

Over the years of traveling around the world, Li Mu has saved countless people, including men, women, and even eunuchs in the palace.

He only saves people because he is facing injustice. It has nothing to do with their identity or appearance.

When he rescued Gu Yunniang half a year ago, he never saw her face clearly before taking her away from Luoyang Guardsman's Mansion.

How could he save her because of her appearance?

However, the similarity in appearance between her and Linglong also affected Li Mu. If it weren't for her face, Li Mu would probably just send her back to the brothel where she came from, or let her find a way out on her own.

Seeing that Li Mu was really angry, Qin Yue hurriedly listened to this.

"Okay, okay, I have a villainous heart. Our Shaoxia Li is the most honorable master. I'm afraid I can't be as polite as you when Confucius and Mencius were alive."

Li Mu frowned when he heard this, sighed irritably, and asked him: "You came to me just to talk nonsense. Is there anything serious?"

When Qin Yue heard this, he patted his head, his expression returned to seriousness, and he hurriedly mentioned what he really wanted to say during this trip.

"Don't you always want to meet the former crown prince and now the new emperor? The news I heard in the capital is that the capital has made preparations and the new emperor will come to Luoyang in person."

"The emperor came to Luoyang in person? Why?" Li Mu clenched his palms and asked.

Qin Yue scratched his head and replied, "I don't know."

Li Mu lowered his eyes, his eyes darkened, and took out a stack of letters from his body.

Qin Yue saw the pile of letters in his hand, and asked in a daze: "Is this the letter about Song Yicheng's affair with the Tatars?"

Li Mu nodded and pursed his lips without saying a word.

Qin Yue clicked his tongue and asked: "Then tell me, if these evidences are sent to our new emperor, can we ask him to re-examine the old case?"

The look in Li Mu's eyes became darker and he shook his head.

"I have no idea."

He really didn't know that over the years, Li Mu had investigated many courtiers involved in old cases and had a lot of evidence in his hands. However, he was not sure that the current His Majesty was really as willing to listen to injustice as rumored.

An unfair king.

Most of Qi Zhen's good reputation among the government and the public was accumulated in his early years when he was the prince.

Throughout the ages, countless emperors worked hard to gain a good reputation when they were princes, but once they became emperors, their true colors were revealed.

Li Mu had never met Qi Zhen and could not tell whether Qi Zhen would re-investigate the old case.

He sighed lowly and said: "Whether His Majesty is willing to re-examine the old case or not, I will give it a try to the death."

After he finished speaking, he took out another pen and rested the pen on the paper spread out on the desk for a long time before he started writing a page of complaint.

Seeing Li Mu who was actually crouching on the desk writing something, Qin Yue thought about how much he had suffered over the years for the grievances of his clan, and sighed.
