Chapter 546: The leader of Huanglan Sect.
"Doudou takes after her father, she is quite straightforward, but seeing how cunning you are, I feel a lot more relieved."
Mother Xu looked at Li Mu and nodded slightly.
"While your current identity has not been exposed, you should quickly take Doudou and leave Jiangcheng. Don't come back until the imperial army arrives!"
Hearing this, Xu Doudou's face changed and he quickly said,
"If we leave, what will happen to Daddy and the uncles?"
Mother Xu looked at Xu Doudou with tenderness in her eyes, "Don't worry, mother will find a way."
"Mom, you have to stay here alone!"
Immediately, Xu Doudou realized that Xu's mother wanted her and Li Mu to leave and she should stay here. She looked at Li Mu for help.
However, as soon as the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.
She knew how dangerous Jiangcheng was, so how could she let Li Mu stay and take risks now?
For a moment, tears filled my eyes.
He rushed into Li Mu's arms, wrapped his arms around Li Mu's waist and back, hugged him tightly, and said in a resolute tone,
"You, you go, I...I..."
Li Mu raised his eyebrows. He could feel that Xu Doudou cared about him. However, he showed his strength in front of her just to reassure her. Why was this girl still acting so silly?
He reached out and stroked Xu Doudou's hair, and said unhappily,
"I am a good emperor, and I don't favor any of the beauties in the harem. Where do you want me to go?"
Hearing this, Xu Doudou glanced at Li Mu, then his eyes became a little sad, and he said in a low voice,
"Who told you to ignore me all the time?"
"If I can survive, I will go back to find you!"
Xu Doudou seemed to have thrown all her shyness behind her. She took out the wooden box from her arms and handed it to Li Mu.
"My mother said that this thing can be used to raise soldiers. Just put it together with the magic weapon. Remember, don't touch it directly..."
"Also, there is also a sleeping sickle. I'll give it to you as well. I hope that when you see it... you'll be able to think of me."
As Xu Dou Dou spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and was about to take off the buckle on his elbow.
Li Mu felt a little touched. Xu Doudou's tone, which was clearly a last will, made him feel uncomfortable.
I looked back at the sky outside.
Li Mu's original plan was to rescue people on a dark and windy night.
However, when he saw the mother and daughter in front of him who were ready to die, Li Mu suddenly felt that he had taken it for granted.
At this moment, every minute and every second that passes is a torture for both of them.
Although Cangzhi said that the Rongyi national teacher would not take the lives of Xu's father and others for the time being, what if?
After all, the other party is not his relative, so Li Mu naturally would not feel that kind of urgency.
Even for Xu Doudou before, he couldn't achieve the so-called love for the person and the people in him.
But Xu Doudou's true feelings and his contact with Xu's mother made Li Mu have this feeling.
Li Mu put his hand on Xu Doudou's arm and gently put down her sleeves. Then he put his arm around her waist and said,
"You said you wanted to be my concubine."
Hearing this, Xu Doudou's expression froze, and a hint of reminiscence flashed in his eyes.
Thinking back to the time, how she was so bold and almost made Li Mu misunderstand her as a fickle and frivolous woman, she felt a little sad.
Li Mu turned his head, looked at Xu's mother, and called out, "Aunt."
"I'll leave Doudou to you...ah! You bad boy!" Xu's mother nodded, but before she could finish her words, Li Mu used the same action to hold Xu's mother's waist, and his figure flashed and disappeared on the spot.
Seeing Li Mu leaving, Cang Zhi's expression changed. After a long time, he gritted his teeth, turned around and walked out of the house.
……
"Master, that woman is gone!"
In the Imperial Master's Mansion, a Dawn Army soldier half-knelt outside the main hall door and reported with a fist clasped.
In the room, a man who looked to be around thirty years old was sitting cross-legged on a couch with his eyes closed.
The man's facial features are more handsome than the woman's, and his whole body exudes femininity.
This person is none other than the leader of the Huanglan Sect, Gao Tian.
He is the current head of the Takahashi family, and his real name is Takahashi Kumada.
Hearing the report from the person outside the house, Takata's face suddenly became extremely gloomy. He swung his palm to smash the door and hit the soldier outside the house on the chest.
The Dawn Sergeant outside the house didn't have time to react before his body exploded, his limbs flew everywhere, and the strong smell of blood instantly filled the entire corridor.
"You're useless! With so many people, you can't even catch two women!"
Takada slowly stood up from the couch and opened his eyes, revealing a pair of enchanting green eyes.
He slowly raised his foot, but with just one step, he appeared in the pool of blood outside the house. The fierceness on his face gradually faded, and he said in a light tone,
"Did those Xia people speak?"
"Replying to the Sect Master, no."
At this time, two shadow warriors appeared in front of Takada.
Gao Tian's face showed no joy or anger, as if he had expected this result. His green eyes looked towards the corridor in the distance and he spoke,
"What's the matter?"
Another shadow warrior appeared, handing over a piece of cloth.
"Master, this was just found in the main hall. It must have been left by that person."
Gao Tian took the cloth, and the muscles on his face gradually twisted. It read:
"You can't make plans with a boy, just do it on your own."
"Bastard!" Takata was furious. The cloth in his hand turned into powder in an instant. The aura around him continued to rise. The three shadow warriors beside him all took a few steps back unconsciously.
At this time, a hunchbacked old man appeared at the end of the corridor. He glanced at Gao Tian with lifeless eyes and said in a light tone,
"Why are you so angry, Sect Master? We are the masters of Jiang City now, why should we cooperate with those people who hide their heads and show their tails?"
Gao Tian put away his aura and looked at the hunchbacked old man.
"What do you think, Great Elder?"
The hunchbacked old man slowly walked closer, glanced at the stump on the ground, and shook his head slightly.
"Let the Xia people kill each other, and when our empire's warriors arrive, we can reap the benefits."
Hearing this, Takada sneered.
"Is the Great Elder too fanciful? It was because we listened to the Great Elder that we are in this situation now."
"Twenty years of planning was ruined in an instant, and the Great Elder still has the nerve to say this?"
The news that King Jiang was under the control of the barbarians has now penetrated into Jiangcheng.
Half of the generals in the army were unwilling to obey orders, so even if King Jiang gave the order himself, it would be useless.
Although Takata bullied the Great Elder verbally, he also agreed with the Great Elder's plan at the beginning.
He spread the Immortal Forgetting Ointment to disrupt the situation in the capital, used the Aoi clan to control the Emperor of Xing Dynasty, and then caused chaos in the capital. Under the pretext of serving the king, he let the defenders of Jiangcheng send troops to Jing'an City.
In his opinion, there was no flaw in all these plans.
But I don't know why, it just doesn't succeed.
It was as if God was against him.
Right now, he only wanted to get the dead branch of the sacred tree in the farmer's hand. As for other things, he no longer considered them.
By then, even if the Xing Dynasty army was at the gates of the city, it would not be difficult for him to leave with his strength.
The elder glanced at Gao Tian, ignored his ridicule, and said calmly,
"Master, have you ever thought about why that mysterious person handed over such a divine object to you so easily?"
Hearing this, Gao Tian's eyes flickered, as if he had thought of something, and he exclaimed,
"What the great elder meant was that the man didn't take this thing seriously at all, and he even owned the entire sacred tree!"
Immediately, the Great Elder's mouth curled up into a smile, but he didn't say anything else.
The more Gao Tian thought about it, the more likely it seemed. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, that must be the case. We can't leave. We can't leave yet..."
Then, seeing the smile on the face of the great elder, Gao Tian's eyes fixed and he asked hurriedly,
"The Great Elder has already come up with a plan to make the Xia people kill each other!"
The Great Elder nodded slightly, pretending to be mysterious, and said,
"King Yan."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Takata and the Great Elder's faces changed at the same time.
Suddenly, a handsome young man wearing a five-clawed golden dragon robe appeared behind Gao Tian. He patted Gao Tian on the shoulder and asked,
"You are the sect leader, right? Please tell this old man to stop keeping us in suspense. I also want to know what he is going to do to my grandfather."
