Chapter 553: Hands-off manager.
After a while, they arrived at the main hall of Prince Jiang's mansion.
"We thank the prince for his help. We will remember this great favor."
Li Mu felt dazed as he looked at the seven seniors in front of him who had already gotten rid of the medicinal properties of the inferior Qi Condensing Powder.
It's really the realm of seven celestial beings.
You know, the realm of heaven and man is already the pinnacle of the world.
Confucianism is the first of all schools of thought.
Among the twelve great Confucian scholars, there are only three celestial beings, and together with the Confucian master, they are people that no one dares to mess with.
Mo Wuyan, who only has the strength of the first level, dares to be so domineering, only because the Mo family has three secluded celestial realm priests.
In the imperial palace, apart from the empress who became a celestial being after being cleansed of her essence and marrow by Jun Jiuling, the only two celestial beings in the open were General Sun, who had returned to the void, and the Imperial Censor.
And the Chief Censor came from Confucianism.
Not to mention the medical family. Apart from Master Ge, only the chief elder of the medical family is in the realm of heaven and man.
But now, Xu's mother actually said that there were eight people in the celestial realm in the farming family.
With such a background, why did Xu Doudou have to go to Donglaiguan for free?
"You don't have to be polite, seniors. It's just a small favor."
Li Mu bowed and responded politely.
"Humph, isn't it his duty to wait for me? What's there to thank him for?"
At this time, the middle-aged man who looked the youngest among the seven people snorted coldly.
Li Mu frowned. Although he would not seek repayment for a favor, the other party's attitude was a bit unpleasant.
"Dad! Li Mu saved us, why are you still like this!"
On the side, Xu Doudou quickly spoke, looked at Li Mu apologetically, and then glared at the middle-aged man.
"Girl, your elbows are already turning outward!"
Father Xu crossed his arms and said confidently,
"Isn't it natural for a son-in-law to help his father-in-law? If I give him a salute, will he be able to accept it?"
"father!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Xu Doudou's face immediately turned red. Although she was bolder in front of Li Mu, she still had to behave modestly in front of so many senior brothers and sisters.
He glanced at Li Mu timidly, then stomped his feet on the spot, covered his face and turned away.
Li Mu was also stunned. He didn't expect the other party to say that. His dissatisfaction immediately disappeared, and he climbed up along the pole.
"My father-in-law is right. You are Doudou's elders, and my elders as well. There is no need to be so polite."
"Boy, I haven't acknowledged you as my son-in-law yet, don't rush to try to establish a relationship with me!"
Mr. Xu originally wanted to give Li Mu a little warning, but he didn't know that Li Mu was so shameless, so he quickly distanced himself from the matter.
"You don't recognize him? I recognize him! I like this guy!"
At this time, Xu's mother, who had changed into a luxurious palace dress again, slowly walked out from the back hall.
She turned around in front of Mr. Xu and asked in a coquettish voice,
"Daddy, does it look good?"
Seeing this, Father Xu frowned, looked at Mother Xu for a long time, and shook his head.
"Not very good, not convenient for work!"
Hearing this, Xu's mother's face darkened. She suppressed the violent ups and downs of her chest, turned to look at Li Mu, and said softly,
"Qingyi, does it look good?"
"The lotus blooms in clear water, naturally without any decoration. If aunt hadn't said that, I would have thought that you and Doudou were sisters... Doudou is the elder sister, and you are the younger sister!"
Li Mu flattered her at the right time, making Xu's mother giggle.
"You are such a sweet talker, no wonder my Doudou likes you. If it were in the past, I would have..."
"mother!"
Xu Doudou finally couldn't stand it anymore, and ran over, staring at Li Mu with her big watery eyes.
"You damn girl, why are you staring at me? Isn't Qing Yi telling the truth?"
Mother Xu grabbed Xu Doudou's ear and brought her directly to Li Mu's side.
"You have to be gentle like your mother, okay?"
Hearing this, Xu Doudou's mouth twitched, but under the pressure of Xu's mother, she nodded obediently.
"Yes, mother is the most gentle."
Mother Xu raised her chin and stopped scolding Xu Doudou. Instead, she turned to look at Li Mu.
"Since you don't plan to leave the city, take good care of Doudou."
After saying that, he turned around and looked at Father Xu. Seeing his bloody body, a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said,
"Those who dared to touch my man should go and settle accounts with that damned demon, fellow apprentice brothers..."
However, before he could finish his words, Li Mu behind him interrupted him.
"Aunt, I forgot to say that the man is dead."
"Dead?" Xu's mother turned around suddenly and looked at Li Mu, her eyes full of surprise.
She insisted that she was in such a miserable state because she was poisoned.
But in fact, she knew in her heart that even in her prime, she might not be a match for Takata.
Now that Li Mu is going to stay in Jiangcheng, the biggest threat is Gao Tian, so she is ready to take people to solve that trouble first.
But unexpectedly, Li Mu actually said that he was dead!
"Wait, you've seen him, that noise in the backyard... was you!"
Xu's mother's eyes were full of disbelief, and she even stuttered when she spoke. Then she seemed to have thought of something and nodded.
"That's right, give someone a taste of their own medicine. You have the Qi Condensation Powder... Boy, don't be too fussy about small details. To deal with shameless people, you should indeed use extraordinary means. Good, very good!"
Li Mu didn't expect that Xu's mother had already thought of an excuse for him. Although he didn't want to hide his strength, it was obviously easier this way, so he nodded directly.
"Please forgive me, Auntie. I can't let you vent your anger on Uncle."
"Alright, alright, kid, no wonder you are so confident."
Mother Xu was obviously relieved, and even her tone became much more relaxed.
"Aunt, there is one more thing."
At this time, Li Mu said again.
Mother Xu glanced at Li Mu and said unhappily,
"You're still being polite to me? Just tell me what you want to say!"
Li Mu smiled, stood up and walked to Xu's mother, whispering,
"Aunt, do you still remember those shadow warriors who were chasing you?"
Hearing this, Xu's mother looked at Li Mu and nodded.
"Understood. We will definitely deal with it in three days at most!"
After saying this, Xu's mother gave a look to the farmers.
They understood instantly, a fierce look flashed in their eyes, and they turned around and prepared to leave.
After all, they are all warriors in the Heaven Realm. When have they ever suffered such a big loss? This feud is over.
Unexpectedly, Li Mu then said,
"Aunt, the Dawn Army that set fire to you that day were also Rongyi people."
However, this time, Xu's mother did not agree immediately, but frowned and said,
"King Jiang has more than 50,000 Dawn Army soldiers under his command. If they are all barbarians..."
"Aunt, you are worrying too much. There are less than 5,000 redundant barbarians in the Dawn Army. Now, there should be less than 2,000."
Li Mu waved his hand, but did not mention that he had already dealt with the other three thousand in the capital.
"I will let that second idiot... um, the Second Prince take the lead in this matter, and I, your aunt, will just need to stand aside with the other seniors."
Mother Xu nodded. She knew what Li Mu meant. She believed that there must be experts in the Dawn Army.
Then he looked at Cang Zhi behind Li Mu and said meaningfully,
"You are indeed smart, but remember, people's minds are hard to predict, so you must be on guard against them."
After saying that, he winked at Xu Doudou, grabbed Xu's father by the collar and walked out of the hall.
Seeing this, Li Mu smiled and shook his head. It seemed that Xu's mother had not forgotten the words "Not so good!"
"Are you relieved now? I didn't expect you to be so concerned about the country and the people."
At this time, Jun Jiuling's figure appeared beside Li Mu.
Li Mu sighed and said a little embarrassedly,
"I'm just a hands-off boss. I'm not the one doing the work. What does it have to do with me?"
"So... where should we go next? The spiritual weapon in the east is quite far away, so we have to leave early!"
Jun Jiuling glanced at Li Mu and spoke in a leisurely tone.
Hearing this, Li Mu smiled awkwardly and said reluctantly,
"Well, there is no need to rush. It won't be too late until we have dealt with the redundant barbarians."
"Ha, you're just being stubborn!" Jun Jiuling chuckled and his figure disappeared.
Li Mu stood up, looked at Cang Zhi behind him, and said in a light tone,
"Do you have any plans against King Yan?"
Cang Zhi, who was in a daze, was obviously startled by Li Mu's sudden words, and his body trembled.
"I don't know, I, I..."
"Forget it, what about the person I brought back?" Li Mu asked.
"In the dungeon, I will lead you down right away." There was fear in Cangzhi's voice. She really didn't expect that Li Mu would actually kill Takada.
"No need for that. Go and ask that idiot to make public the whole story of King Jiang's self-proclaimed emperor. After that, whether he wants to write a letter to the court to apologize or continue to be the second prince is up to him."
Hearing this, Cang Zhi's legs softened and he immediately fell to the ground.
"Your Highness, please spare my life, Your Highness..."
"Okay, okay, you know who I am?" Li Mu waved his hands, a little impatient.
Cang Zhi hurriedly stood up and knelt, with his forehead pressed tightly against the ground, and said tremblingly, "This slave, this slave greets His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan."
"Oh, go ahead and get yourself out of this. You're smart and you know what to do."
After saying that, Li Mu took Xu Dou Dou's hand and walked out of the hall.
