I want to be innocent, but they don't allow me

Chapter 561 "Ten Thousand Years of Mountain Ginseng"

King Jiang's bedroom.

Several doctors left in a hurry, with helpless and sad looks on their faces.

Li Mu stood in the middle of the room and looked again at King Jiang who was leaning against the bed.

Calm and profound, although he clearly didn't want to live long, Li Mu didn't show any fear or reluctance on his face.

King Jiang was also looking at Li Mu at the same time.

The old man and the child looked at each other. Although they didn't say a word, Xu Doudou, who was standing at the door, felt a little breathless.

She didn't understand why Li Mu insisted on asking her to come. This kind of occasion was obviously not the place for her.

Is it to meet the parents?

Speaking of which, King Jiang should be considered Li Mu's elder, right?

Or is he bringing this woman here to take credit?

Xu Doudou looked down at Cangzhi in her arms, making random guesses in her mind.

Sometimes she blushes, the next moment she is sad and worried, looking at herself in the mirror and feeling sorry for herself.

The girl's mind is full of wild imagination, and it is difficult for others to guess what she is thinking.

"How should I thank you?"

At this time, King Jiang took the lead in breaking the silence.

His tone was flat, as if he was asking a question, but it was unclear whether he was asking Li Mu or himself.

Li Mu did not answer, but bowed to King Jiang and said,

"Qingyi, meet Uncle Wang."

King Jiang was stunned for a moment, his face rarely showed any emotion, and he muttered to himself,

"I see, I see, you are very similar to her."

King Jiang's eyes seemed to be reminiscing, and a pretty figure, which was almost blurred, appeared before his eyes.

After a long while, King Jiang showed a long-lost smile on his face, but he said something inexplicable,

"Are you really sent by God?"

"I guess so." Li Mu nodded. He came from a different world, so he could be considered a person sent by God.

When King Jiang heard this answer, he smiled bitterly and murmured,

"The second one is still so lucky. You are good, very good."

Hearing this, Li Mu looked at King Jiang deeply. Could it be that King Jiang also likes Danmei?

By the way, do I really look a lot like the original owner’s mother?

Li Mu had seen the original owner. Now he thought that Shan Yuan's appearance should be closer to that of Prince Yan, and they were completely different from him.

What’s wrong with these people? I’m much more handsome than that guy.

What's the difference between this and saying that Xiaobao and Yuyan look alike, don't they both have two eyes, a nose and a mouth?

Li Mu felt a little unhappy in his heart, but he never thought about the reason why King Jiang felt this way.

This is because Li Mu is somewhat similar to the second young master of Prince Yan’s Mansion in his childhood.

It has nothing to do with appearance, but temperament, or just a feeling.

Perhaps in his heart, only the original owner before the age of six was recognized as a child with one eyebrow.

And Li Mu made them feel exactly this way.

This feeling is very strange, and I can't tell where it comes from.

Maybe it’s because of preconceived notions, or maybe it’s just because of the remembrance of the deceased.

And Li Mu happened to appear and took advantage of this opportunity.

"Uncle Wang, you don't have to thank me. I came to Jiangcheng for other things. As for... being able to help Uncle Wang, that's what the younger generation should do."

After these words were spoken, King Jiang did not react at all, but Xu Doudou, who was standing at the door, trembled violently.

Why did Li Mu say this?

Did he see that? Did he see that I was upset about this matter and that I was losing my temper?

He, why is he so stupid? Doesn’t he know how important King Jiang’s favor is?

Could it be that it’s just because you care about my feelings?

Xu Doudou frowned. At this moment, she felt that Li Mu was being irrational. She was not the kind of woman who did not know her limits. Li Mu did not need to do such a thing to please her.

However, even though she thought this in her heart, the corners of her mouth that couldn't help but rise revealed that she was already feeling too sweet.

"Oh, boy, are you afraid that I will depend on you?"

King Jiang smiled, he certainly wouldn't believe what Li Mu said.

Li Mu shook his head and said indifferently, "I'm just telling the truth."

Then he saw King Jiang's pale face and asked, "Uncle Wang's health?"

"It doesn't matter. I should have gone long ago. I can still survive for half a month. I am already satisfied. This time is enough for me to arrange everything."

King Jiang waved his hand and spoke in a relaxed tone.

Li Mu thought of what Cang Zhi had said before: if King Jiang did not insist on taking the medicine and remained in that half-asleep and half-awake state, he would not survive more than three days.

It is not easy to persist for half a month nowadays.

After a brief thought, he walked straight to the side of King Jiang's bed, pretended to reach into his bosom, and then took out a plant root that looked like an old ginseng from his reading, and said nonsense,

"Uncle Wang, this is a hundred-year-old, er, ten-thousand-year-old mountain ginseng. I got it by chance. You only need to take a small section, and you should have no problem living another three to five to seven years."

As he spoke, Li Mu directly pulled off a small section and pretended to stuff it into King Jiang's mouth.

King Jiang was stunned for a moment, stretched out his hand to block Li Mu's hand, took the rhizome still covered with mud, glanced at Li Mu, and then swallowed it without hesitation.

At the same time, Li Mu sent a stream of vitality into King Jiang's body.

King Jiang frowned slightly. The taste of this rhizome was really not very good. However, after just a moment, King Jiang's expression froze.

He looked at the "Ten Thousand Years Old Mountain Ginseng" in Li Mu's hand with disbelief, and jumped off the bed.

“Hahahaha, there is such a magical thing, it can actually... Gurgle Gurgle~”

Unexpectedly, King Jiang was smiling with his head raised when a large amount of white foam suddenly came out of his mouth and his old face turned dark blue, which were obviously symptoms of being poisoned.

Seeing this, Li Mu's mouth twitched, and he looked at the "Ten Thousand Year Old Mountain Ginseng" in his hand in astonishment.

"It's not such a coincidence. This thing doesn't look poisonous."

This is certainly not a life-saving medicine, but an unknown plant that Li Mu stole in the Southern Region.

He originally wanted to find a random excuse to cover up his act of giving Jiang Wangdu a chance to survive.

Who would have thought it was such a coincidence that these seemingly "honest" roots actually contain a deadly poison.

Then, with a loud "clang", King Jiang's body fell heavily to the ground.

Li Mu did not dare to delay and hurriedly took out Ai Qi to draw out the poison from King Jiang's body.

At the same time, the door to the outer room was slammed open.

Li Mu had just removed the poison from King Jiang's body when four long swords gleaming with cold light were placed on his neck.

"What are you doing!" Xu Doudou, who was standing at the bedroom door, suddenly changed his expression and a cold light shone from his sleeves.

"Dou Dou!" Li Mu shouted, signaling Xu Dou Dou not to be impulsive.

"Damn it, you are too high on drugs."

At this time, King Jiang on the ground rubbed his head, and then saw the scene in front of him. He was stunned at first, and then he said angrily,

"Who let you in? Get out!"

Hearing this, the four guards left the room without saying a word.

King Jiang felt his physical condition and seemed like a different person. He didn't get up but just sat on the ground.

After a long while, he looked at Li Mu again with complicated eyes.

"You and I……"

"Uncle Wang, why don't we take a rest first?" Li Mu smiled and said.

There is no one who is not afraid of death. Even if King Jiang acted calmly before, surviving such a disaster can still make this old man lose his composure.

King Jiang nodded quickly, and then his eyes fell on the remaining section of "ginseng" in Li Mu's hand.

When Li Mu saw King Jiang's gaze, his eyes twitched and he quickly put his hands behind his back with a dry smile on his face.

King Jiang waved his hand and said, "Boy, can I still covet your things? That's enough. That's enough."

There was hope in King Jiang's eyes. He had previously failed in his attempt to break through and return to the void, which led to his exhaustion.

Now, he feels the tremendous vitality in his body and has nothing to worry about for at least five to ten years.

If he could break through to the Return to Void Realm during this period, even if he still had hidden injuries, living to be a hundred or eighty years old would be a piece of cake.

The surprises Li Mu brought him were one better than the other.

At this time, King Jiang noticed Xu Doudou standing at the door.

When she saw clearly the face of Cang Zhi in her arms, she was stunned at first, and then her face suddenly became extremely gloomy.

"Barbarian bitch!" King Jiang snorted coldly, and the blue bricks under him cracked immediately. His body flew out like a cannonball, and he threw a punch with all his strength, hitting Cangzhi in the face.
