In the city of Luoyang.

The business of the rouge shop was a bit deserted. Linglong held her forehead and fiddled with her abacus in boredom. She muttered, "How long does it take before Li Mu comes to pick me up? There is no business today. I want to go back earlier."

."

Hearing this, the waiter looked out at the sky, calculated the time, and replied: "According to the time Mr. Lang said when he sent the girl here, it will probably take half an hour."

Half an hour, there is still a while.

She glanced at the deserted rouge shop, unable to bear the boredom, clapped her hands, pushed away the abacus, and walked out of the shelves.

"Since there's still half an hour, there's not a lot of people in the shop. I'll go shopping on the street, and you can just look at the shop here." Linglong said as she stepped out of the Rouge Shop's threshold and went onto the street.

Ordinary merchants are not as sophisticated as the wealthy families in the capital. Li Mu is accustomed to being willful when traveling around the world, and he doesn't care about it. He doesn't want to control Linglong with rules and etiquette like Qi Zhen.

During this period, whether Linglong stayed at Rouge Shop or went out to have fun, the shop assistants and Li Mu would not say anything to control her.

Today she went out to the street, and the clerk naturally didn’t stop her.

It's just that when Linglong goes out on the street, she is usually followed by Li Mu. Today is the first time that she goes out alone.

The gadgets on the street were no more novel than before, but Linglong was quite curious, perhaps because it was her first time out.

She walked around the vendors in the market and walked a little too far without even realizing it.

Although Linglong knew the road, she wasn't very familiar with it. Seeing that she was walking far away, she stopped and prepared to go back.

She walked back and looked up and saw a shop selling wooden hairpins. She was attracted by a bamboo-shaped wooden hairpin on the stall.

"Seller, please wrap up this wooden hairpin. I want it." Linglong took a fancy to this wooden hairpin and thought it would complement Li Mu very well, so she paid money to buy it.

While she was attaching the hairpin, there was a person at the side of the stall who accidentally caught sight of Linglong's face.

When he saw the exquisite face, the man was suddenly startled.

Linglong bought the hairpin and left the stall. The man just now hurriedly patted his companion, pointed in the direction of Linglong and asked, "Look at that man, does he look like Gu Yunniang?"

The person he photographed also hurriedly looked up, and after seeing Linglong's face, he repeatedly said: "The appearance looks similar, but she is definitely not Gu Yunniang. She must be a young lady from some family who looks similar to Gu Yunniang."

Linglong and Gu Yunniang have similar looks, but their temperaments are completely different. Anyone who has seen the two will never admit their mistake.

Gu Yunniang is charming and gorgeous, and the charm cultivated by the courtesan in the brothel is so strong that she seems to be a lustful ghost.

Linglong is a bit childish. Although her appearance is beautiful, she is not charming at all. She is only agile and looks more like a mountain elf.

The person who just photographed him looked at the direction in which Linglong was going away and said: "It doesn't matter if it's not, it just looks like it, I'm not sure, then Master Song likes this face. Let's follow up and have a look, we're not sure

If you can, take her and present it to Master Song."

After Linglong bought the wooden hairpin, she returned to Rouge's shop. When she returned to the shop, Li Muren had not arrived yet.

Linglong played with the wooden hairpin and sat on the shelf waiting for him. She had no idea that the two people outside were already eyeing her.

The two people who were guarding outside saw Linglong entering the shop and not coming out again, so they guessed that Linglong was the owner of the shop.

"Go to Yulu Tower and ask Master Song to come and tell him that there is a girl in this shop who looks very similar to Gu Yunniang."

Yulu Tower is the most famous brothel in Luoyang City, and Gu Yunniang was also a prostitute at Yulu Tower.

In the Yulu Building, some distance away from Rouge Shop, Li Mu was lying on his side on the roof of the brothel with his eyes closed.

After learning about the news that the new emperor would be visiting Luoyang in the near future, Li Mu thought a lot. He was worried that the evidence in his hand was not enough to win the new emperor's mercy, so he had been keeping an eye on the Song family father and son these past few days, wanting to investigate again.

Come up with something else.

After Song Yicheng lost the secret letter of his affair with the Tatars, he became extremely cautious. Li Mu stared at him for a long time, but the old fox pretended not to reveal anything, so Li Mu turned to stare at the young master of the Song family.

This Young Master Song is a well-known playboy in Luoyang City. Li Mu has been watching him for the past few days. He has been in the brothel almost every day. Li Mu is a little bored, so he sometimes closes his eyes and lies on the roof of the flower house to take a nap.

At the moment, he was closing his eyes and falling asleep. One of the people who had returned from the Rouge Shop whispered to the Song family's servant outside the prostitute's room in Yulu Tower that he had found a woman who looked exactly like Gu Yunniang.

Gu Yunniang was the number one courtesan in Luoyang back then. The young master of the Song family also spent a lot of money to groom her, so he naturally fell in love with her appearance.

However, the young master of the Song family had some unknown bad habits. He did not dare to touch the ordinary decent wives and concubines in the family. When he was in the brothel, he was worried that these prostitutes would be talkative, so he kept suppressing them.

His bad habits.

Gu Yunniang was originally the oiran that the young master of the Song family often kept in the flower house. After going back and forth too many times, the young master of the Song family couldn't suppress the unseen evil signs in his heart, so he wanted to vent his anger and planned to kill someone.

Once they are redeemed, they can be tortured at will.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she made a move, Gu Yunniang was taken away.

The young master of the Song family was so angry that he ordered people to search for Gu Yunniang many times. After two months of searching but no news of her was found, he stopped thinking about it.

However, when he took a break, he took a break, but he didn't forget.

No, as soon as the servant mentioned this, Master Song immediately got up from the prostitute's bed, put on his clothes and went to the rouge shop.

Li Mu on the roof also opened his eyes. He glanced at the sky and calculated that it was time to pick Linglong home. He was about to leave when he suddenly realized that the servant inside was saying something to the young master of the Song family.

Li Mu frowned slightly, feeling something was wrong.

When the servant entered the house to report to the young master of the Song family, he whispered in his ear, and Li Mu couldn't hear anything clearly.

Seeing the young master of the Song family leaving the brothel, Li Mu followed him secretly.

The more I followed, the more I felt something was wrong. How could this young master of the Song family end up at the Rouge Shop?

When they arrived at the rouge shop, the people outside hurriedly led the young master of the Song family inside. Seeing him step in, Li Mu tightened his lips and looked slightly panicked. He immediately took off the mask on his face and looked out from the darkness.

He showed up and hurriedly chased after him.

Linglong was still sitting in front of the container, fiddling with the wooden hairpin she bought for Li Mu.

As soon as the young master of the Song family entered the door, he saw Shen Linglong sitting in front of the container, and a dirty light immediately appeared in his eyes.

"Oh, it really looks like it. Girl, Yulu Tower is short of someone, and I think you are just the right one. Talk to your family and see how much money you are willing to sell for."

This man spoke dirty and filthy words, and Linglong subconsciously clenched the wooden hairpin in her hand.

Li Mu, who followed closely, also heard these words.

His eyebrows were cold, and the sword he held in his hand shot straight out, hitting the man's knee.

Linglong raised her eyes and saw Li Mu, her eyes filled with joy, and she called out his name.

The young master of the Song family suffered severe knee pain after being hit hard, and it was only thanks to the support of the servants around him that he did not fall down.

"You are so brave, how dare you hit me!" The young master of the Song family covered his knees while pointing at Li Mu and scolding him.

Li Mu bypassed his group, went to Linglong, pulled Linglong's sleeves, and sent her into the inner room of the shop, coaxing her in a gentle voice: "Go inside and rest for a while, and I will take you home later.

"

Linglong was a little worried, raised her hand and held Li Mu's palm, and whispered to him: "I see that man is so arrogant, we just arrived in Luoyang..." She said this because she was worried that Li Mu would get into trouble.

But in fact, I wanted to smash the pig head of the person outside.

Li Mu knew her temperament well, shook his head and smiled, raised his hand to support Bu Yao, whose temples were a little crooked, and whispered in her ear: "It's okay, just go inside and wait, I have a plan."

of."

After hearing what he said, Linglong obediently entered the inner room. The clerk followed closely behind.

As soon as Linglong entered the inner room, the young master of the Song family outside shouted: "What? I sent your young lady away specifically to kowtow to me and apologize to me."

Li Mu watched the exquisite figure disappear, and when he heard the arrogant words in his ears, his expression suddenly turned cold.

He turned slightly, and in just a moment, the long sword was unsheathed and pressed against the man's throat.

There were so many people around the young master of the Song family, but no one reacted.

Also, Li Mu's job is to lick the blood with the tip of the sword. Killing people and drawing the sword are as fast as the wind.

"You, who are you? Do you know who I am? If you dare to kill me, my father will not let you go."

Li Mu's eyes were cold and silent, and the bloody evil energy around his body was overflowing. He was completely different from the gentle man with smiling eyes in the ordinary market courtyard.

The edge of his sword touched the man's neck artery, and with a slight exertion, the flesh of his neck was broken.

Blood oozed out, and the man cried out in pain.

When Linglong in the shop heard the shouting, she felt a little scared and called out Li Mu's name again.

Li Mu heard her call and closed his eyes. He was worried that if he really killed the person in front of him, he would scare her, so he stopped.

"You're lucky, I don't want to get blood today." His voice was cold, he put away his sword and went to look for Linglong in the inner room.

The young master of the Song family and others outside were shocked by the murderous aura with which he drew his sword like a gust of wind just now. They dared to stay here for a long time.

The servant hurriedly dragged his young master away from the rouge shop.

Li Mu put away his long sword, wiped away the blood, returned to his usual gentle smile, and then opened the curtain.

In the shop, Linglong was pacing back and forth anxiously. When she saw him coming, she finally let go of her worries.

"Finally you're back, Li Mu, you're the real deal. You're not good at talking. You can't quarrel with others. You just show off with a sword. If you encounter this kind of thing in the future, you might as well let me go up and scold Nadeng.

Just a meal."

Linglong's words were cute and naive. Li Mu shook his head and smiled. He lightly shook the sword in his hand and didn't refute her.

"Okay, okay, next time, we must let Linglong have a good time scolding her and let her anger out."
