Chapter 824
He became more and more bloodthirsty.
Li Mu murmured in his heart that his two brothers, Dugu Jiu and Li Chongyi, are not bloodthirsty people in normal times. But as long as their lives are involved, they are like they are injected with chicken blood, one is more careless than the other. Li Mu was worried. Could these two people have any special hobbies? Xiao Jiuer, it is not unacceptable to gritting their teeth, but if they are big ones-
Li Mu thought about Li Chongyi's muscles, and the picture that appeared in his mind was a little unbearable to look at it.
"Brother, what should we do?" Dugu Jiu saw that Li Mu didn't say anything, and asked, "The road is a fork in front of me. Going east is a pier, and going west is Lingshe Mountain."
"Nonsense, of course I'm walking towards Lingshe Mountain!" Li Mu turned over and sat up, lay on the horse's back and almost pushed his intestines out: "Why are we here? I will never go back if I don't see your sister-in-law."
"Then--" Dugu Jiu hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you want me to inform the Governor's Office and let them mobilize troops?"
"Stupid!" Li Mu knocked Dugu Jiu in the head and said, "Do you think the conflict between the Miao and Han families is not big enough? Do you want to force Miaojiang to rebel?"
"But if this is the case, you cannot guarantee your safety." Dugu Jiu argued: "Brother, I have sent a scout to inquire. Lingshe Mountain is about to hold something Ruosuo. In less than three days, the elites from Jiuxiang and Shibawu will gather here, with more than four or five thousand people! The number of people is more than a hundred times that of ours, and we are not enough to see at all."
"It's not that you are brave and ruthless. There are too many people and fewer people to be afraid of anything." Li Mu's eyes rolled and said, "In this way, you offer me to Cui Yuzheng and explore his reality first."
"No!" Dugu Jiu decisively rejected and said, "It's too dangerous. Cui Yuzheng hates you to the core and will definitely kill you. Even if he doesn't kill you, he will torture you. I can't let you take risks!"
"Oh, I can't bear to leave the child and can't trap the wolf." Li Mu was indeed a little scared, but he wasn't that particularly scared. In the news he knew, Cui Yuzheng was a paralyzed person. Even if he wanted to do this, he had to let his hands do it. Now his subordinates have been replaced by Dugu Jiu and others, and everything should still be under control.
To be on the safe side, Li Mu asked: "Have their people been replaced by ours?"
"Uh..." Dugu Jiu said uncertainly; "We have slaughtered all the people who come out, and I don't know how many people in the mountains are."
"Wait!" Li Mu heard something and confirmed: "How many of them are?"
"A few hundred, I didn't count them seriously."
"Oh!" Li Mu thought to himself that terrible, this number doesn't match! Hundreds of people came out and dozens of people went back, and it was impossible not to be noticed. We must think of a reasonable interface to explain the issue of reducing staff.
Just as he was frowning, the secret guard walked in front of him and suddenly stopped his horse, as if he had a few words to talk to someone, and then the two horses came to Dugu Jiuma: "Report to the polite envoy, who called himself the personal guard of the Governor's Office."
Li Mu looked over and asked, "Are you from the Duke of Ju's mansion?"
"The last general is exactly, and the last general has met the Marquis of Luoyang."
"Recognize me?"
"At the end of the year, the general's family followed Duke Tang for generations. When he was in Chang'an, he took on the responsibility of guarding the mansion and met the marquis several times."
"Oh." Li Mu nodded, his eyes rolled and asked, "Is my mother doing well in the mansion?"
"Mrs. had rushed to Luoyang a month ago and was not in the mansion."
Li Mu then breathed a sigh of relief and raised his hand to let the visitor stand up. He was just talking about temptation. If this person said that Sun was doing well in the mansion, it would mean that he would be fake. Tang Guan and Sun had rushed to Luoyang, and now there is only Tang Jian in the governor's mansion.
"Where is Duke Tang now?"
"Duke Tang gathered 3,000 troops and was crossing the river in batches. Now the tent was set up by the river, and the last generals were sent to find Lord Dugu to discuss the matter of finding the Marquis. Fortunately, the Marquis had escaped from the trap. If the Prince knew about it, he would be happy."
Li Mu thought to himself that Old Tang was really good. There were not many soldiers and horses in three thousand, but it was probably the largest number that Old Tang could gather together. The Tang Dynasty was a system of government troops, and the government soldiers were not controlled by the local government. Only the emperor, or the general general of the army and horses in war, could be mobilized by the tiger talismans given by the emperor. The troops and horses gathered by Tang Jian should be all the troops of his governor's office. This is also an act of violation of the ban. If the censor finds out, it is not impossible to sue him for his intention to rebel.
Old Tang is responsible for his relationship, so he has to remember this favor.
Li Mu thought for a while and said, "You go back first and tell Mr. Tang that I am fine." After pausing, Li Mu came up with another bad idea. He asked Dugu Jiu to light a branch, make a charcoal pen, pull off the lining of his robe, and write a letter.
Li Mu handed the letter to Dugu Jiu and said, "Send three people to go back with this brother, hand the letter to Mr. Tang, and supervise each other. No one except Mr. Tang can read the contents of the letter."
"I understand!" Dugu Jiu selected three people, pulled the letter into three parts, and handed it to the three people. The four left the brigade and went east, and Li Mu and others continued to travel west.
When he arrived at the place where Dugu Jiu intercepted the man in brown clothes, Li Mu asked someone to stop.
"Where is the body buried?"
"Behind the pond there." Dugu Jiu took Li Mu over, and there was indeed a loose soil. Li Mu asked someone to dig it out, carefully selected it, took the knife from Dugu Jiu's hand, and cut off the head.
Then, Li Mu took a knife and made plaster like an art student, and carefully carved it on the head.
Dugu Jiu looked around, his spine was a little chilled, and he quietly took two steps back. He wanted to tell Li Mu how cunning the scene he saw was, but after hesitating for a moment, he still didn't dare to say it out.
About a quarter of an hour, the appearance of the head had changed drastically. A bloody head could vaguely recognize a human face, but it was very different from the original appearance, and could produce 80% of Tang Jian's outline.
Dugu Jiu saw that Li Mu had finished his work, walked over and glanced at him, and said, "Brother, who did you learn your disguise skills from? It's so amazing!"
"I learned from Chenchen, but the time is not yet home." Li Mu looked at his work and said, "You have caused some scars on each other. Remember, when you came out of Lingshe Mountain, you met the Tang army. After a fight, you lost most of the losses. In the melee, you killed the leader. The Tang army was in chaos and retreated to the riverside to rest. Do you understand?"
"I understand!" Dugu Jiu nodded while giving orders. The people under his command were also real. When he heard the order that he wanted to make some traces, he immediately wanted to use a knife to cut each other. Li Mu hurriedly stopped him: "It's all stupid. Isn't this a corpse? Just get some blood on his body!"
Everyone suddenly realized that they dug out the buried corpse, cut a few times, and touched some blood on their bodies. Poor these men in brown clothes, who could not rest in peace after they died, and were dug out and died again.
Seeing these people with arrows of crossbows, Li Mu hurriedly said, "A bunch of prodigal things, do you know how much these crossbows cost? Those that can be recycled must be recycled. All of them are carefully checked. I will pull all the crossbows that can be pulled down, maybe it is useful."
Everyone acted according to their words and actions, Dugu Jiu explained: "Brother, I was anxious to find you yesterday, but I didn't have time--"
"It's okay, I'm not really missing this amount of money." Li Mu waved his hand and said, "Maybe it's really worth it. When you get to the mountain later, anything can happen." Li Mu asked, "Have you brought my baggage here?"
Dugu Jiu shook his head and said, "The father-in-law, tailor, and cook are all on the other side, and your burden is also on the other side."
"Do you bring the heavy rain pear blossom needle I gave you with you?"
"Ah, here," Dugu Jiu took out the heavy rain pear blossom needle given by Li Mu from his arms and handed it to him, saying, "I haven't used it once."
"I'll take it first, there's no one to take advantage." Li Mu put it in his arms, pulled off a brown coat from the corpse, put it on his body, and then got some blood and mud, mixed it and applied it to his face. He mixed it in the crowd without looking carefully, and he couldn't tell who he was at all.
Dugu Jiu said worriedly: "Brother, the Miao people can speak Miao language, but we don't know how to say it, I'm afraid it will be exposed."
"Don't worry." Li Mu analyzed: "There is a possibility of revealing the stuff, but it is not very good. Cui Yuzheng is a Han Chinese. He works from the top and the bottom, and his confidant will be able to speak Chinese. Furthermore, there are many people among the Miao people, especially Hei Miao. If he has a lot of contact with the Han Chinese, he will speak a few Chinese words. It is not surprising that he will say a few Chinese words."
After pausing, Li Mu said again: "If it is exposed, take out the crossbow and shoot it for a round without saying a word, and then shake them up. I have received the news that your sister-in-law also has a number one in the Snake Spirit Sect, and it is impossible for her to have no confidant."
"Okay." Li Mu had already made a decision. What else could Dugu Jiu say? He could only sacrifice his life to accompany his elder brother.
While talking, he walked, at noon, he had already reached the boundary of Lingshe Mountain. When he arrived at the mountain gate, the group stopped and rushed over directly. No one came out to stop him. As Li Mu expected, the man in brown was a transcendent person and no one dared to mess with Lingshe Mountain.
As he walked along the road to the mountain at lightning speed, Dugu Jiu asked in a low voice: "Brother, we don't know where the person is? Where can I go to find Cui Yuzheng?"
"It's easy!" Li Mu signaled Dugu Jiu with his eyes, and suddenly slowed down his horse and rolled down from the horse's back. Dugu Jiu quickly dismounted. Li Mu lay on the ground and said, "What's the name of the leader of the man in brown that you asked last night, and he called him fainted."
Dugu Jiu ordered the secret guard with the thickest voice under his hands and shouted: "Come on, leader Zhakun fainted! Save people!"
"What's up!"
Sure enough, someone heard that a man in brown came over with several people. When he saw Li Mu fainted on the ground, he was about to come over to check. Li Mu was afraid of being exposed, so he climbed up with his arms, and said with a voice like a roaming silk: "Take me, go, see the leader."
The man in brown was shocked: "Za Kun, why did your voice change?"
Li Mu quickly lowered his voice and said awkwardly: "I'm so anxious that I'm hoarse, so take me to see the leader!"
"Oh, okay, hurry up!" The man in brown had no doubt that he was there. Who would have thought that a group of Han people would appear in Lingshe Mountain? Seeing that Li Mu was so anxious, he did not dare to neglect him. He hurriedly asked someone to carry a stretcher and carry Li Mu to the entrance of the cave where Cui Yuzheng lived.
A bloody smell floated out from the entrance of the cave, and Li Mu almost vomited. This smell was like a septic tank that was used to treat animal feces in a slaughterhouse, which was indescribable. Cui Yuzheng actually lived in such a place, which was somewhat disgusting.
"How come you do this!" Cui Yuzheng asked sternly, but he didn't dare to come out. During the day, the sun would burn him to death.
Li Mu held the rainy pear blossom needle in his hand, guarding against the fact that if it was discovered, he immediately broke the death penalty and said in a low voice: "Report to the leader, I met Tang Jun halfway. When they saw us, they attacked without saying a word. The subordinates and others fought hard, and most of them lost, and only dozens of people fled back."
"Then you still have the courage to come back! I want to throw you all into the holy pond!"
A beast-like roar came from the cave, and a fishy storm emerged. Li Mu lay on the ground and said in panic: "Don't rest as he grows angry, and his subordinates and others are rushing to kill the leader of the Tang army!"
"Kill the leader of the Tang army?"
Cui Yuzheng's confusion voice came over, paused for a moment, and said, "Where is the certificate?"
"Here!" Li Mu shouted, Dugu Jiu took the prepared head over, and Li Mu put his hands at the entrance of the cave.
"Pick in!"
Li Mu was stunned for a moment and realized that he wanted to put the head in the shadow, so he had to "crawl over" and push the head in.
"Tang Jian?" Cui Yuzheng picked up the head and looked at it, and spoke in surprise. He immediately looked out of the cave and said, "Did you kill Tang Jian?"
"I don't know who I killed. At that time, I had no hope of survival. I just wanted to kill one more person. Seeing that the Tang army protected this person and knew that this person was important, I rushed over. I didn't expect that I could escape from the heavens. Fortunately, luckily, it was all protected by the leader Hong Fu."
Li Mu's heart was so excited that he gave him a flattery; "I wish the leader the immortal blessing and longevity and a lifetime."
"Immortal blessings are eternal, and I live with the heavens?" Li Mu was stunned for a moment, and realized that he wanted to put the head in the shadow, so he had to 'crawl over' and push the head in.
"Tang Jian?" Cui Yuzheng picked up the head and looked at it, and spoke in surprise. He immediately looked out of the cave and said, "Did you kill Tang Jian?"

Fortunately, luckily, it was all protected by the leader Hong Fu."
