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

Chapter 656: Feeling like it’s about to be exposed, the clever mother-in-law.

"All the assassins in the hall have been killed. You can rest assured."

Shan Yuan spoke in a gentle tone, with a warm smile on his face, but what he said was earth-shattering.

The hall was silent for a while.

Then, fire switches were lit one after another.

Murong Jinxiu protected Mu Zhen and signaled Liu Minglan to light up all the oil lamps in the hall.

Then, he saw corpses everywhere in the hall.

The two elders from the famous families were almost shot into a hornet's nest by arrows.

Except for the three old men sitting in the first seats who were still dying, no one else from the two military strategists survived.

On the other hand, all the doctors and Mohists were fine.

Only Meng Siyu rubbed her chest with a gloomy face.

The three great Confucian scholars on the other side of the Confucian school were already dead, and Mu Zhen was slumped on the ground, with an arrow wound in his shoulder and neck, and the remains of his wheelchair all around him.

Needless to say, as for the Taoists, Shanyang closed his eyes and meditated, with broken arrows all around him.

Li Linger hugged her legs with her hands, buried her head between her legs, and hid behind him tremblingly.

The calmest person turned out to be the strategist.

Su Yuwei knelt gracefully, seemingly not moving at all from beginning to end, her slender fingers still fiddling with her hair.

Chuntao and the other three daughters stood on either side, looking as if nothing had happened.

At this time, Li Ling'er seemed to notice the fire, slowly raised her head, and called out,

"Second brother..."

She was obviously terrified, with tears in her eyes.

Shanyuan walked quickly to her and stopped about one meter away from her. He raised his foot and struggled for a while, but was unable to move forward.

The hand holding the sword exerted a little force, and after a moment of silence, a gentle smile appeared on his face.

"It's okay, my second brother is here."

Li Linger burst into tears with a "wow" and stood up hurriedly, as if she wanted to go forward to pull Shanyuan.

At this moment, she really needs the comfort of her loved ones.

Seeing this, Shanyuan's face showed unprecedented panic. He staggered back two steps and fell to the ground without standing firmly.

Li Linger paused and her outstretched hand froze in mid-air.

Just then, a mournful cry was heard in the hall.

Mu Zhen pushed Murong Jinxiu away, stood on one leg, and then fell down again, pointing his finger forward and making "ah, ah, ah" sounds.

There was a sense of sadness in his voice, each word became smaller and smaller, until he had lost his voice in the end.

Everyone looked in the direction where the finger pointed, and saw a man in a black robe with a back full of arrows, kneeling on the ground with a woman in a blue skirt in his arms.

"Ah~"

The next moment, two girls screamed at the same time.

Mo Liuying had just taken a step when his eyes rolled back and he fainted.

Xu Doudou, who was beside her, was quick to support her and turned around to look at Mo Wuyan in surprise.

Then he looked at the black-robed hedgehog and frowned slightly.

Although she didn't like this man, she didn't want him to die.

It looks like this is to save the woman in the blue skirt?

No wonder Xiaoying couldn’t accept it. Alas, my poor Xiaoying.

Tang Qin lay in Li Mu's arms, looking at the white mask so close to her with a complicated expression. She wanted to reach out and touch it but stopped herself. She asked tremblingly,

"Who are you? Why do you want to..."

"Get out of here, you bitch!"

At this time, Liu Minglan staggered over and grabbed Tang Qin's collar, pulling her out of Li Mu's arms.

Fortunately, he was caught by Meng Siyu who came to check, otherwise he would have fallen hard.

"Xiaoqin, are you okay?"

Meng Siyu frowned, quickly checked her pulse, and fed a brown pill into her mouth.

Tang Qin swallowed the pill, grabbed Meng Siyu's wrist, and said anxiously,

"Aunt Yu, I'm fine. You, you go check on him. He's not dead yet. I can hear his pulse."

Meng Siyu was stunned for a moment, then turned her head to look at Li Mu, wondering,

"You won't die in this way?"

"What did you say, you old witch!"

Liu Minglan bared his teeth, his eyes red like an angry little wild cat.

"Move aside, let me see him."

Meng Siyu curled her lips, her beautiful eyes full of reluctance.

At this time, Murong Jinxiu also came over with Mu Zhen, and tremblingly felt Li Mu's pulse, tears in her eyes could not stop flowing out.

"Ming Lan! Get out of the way!"

Her tone was more serious than ever before, and when she looked at Meng Siyu again, her eyes were full of pleading.

Meng Siyu was obviously a little disgusted. She took out a handkerchief and put it on Li Mu's wrist before starting to take his pulse.

But as soon as the finger was placed on it, a light exclamation came from his mouth.

"Ok?"

The drooping eyelids slightly lifted up, and a hint of doubt flashed in the eyes.

Li Mu did suffer some internal injuries, but compared to his black-skinned hedgehog look, the injuries were too minor.

The pulse is strong, the qi sea is full, and even the body has begun to recover on its own.

I'm afraid it won't take much time to eat a handful of melon seeds before this person is able to jump around again.

The most serious injury on his body should be the arrow that pierced his arm. Only this arrow could be considered a real injury.

As for those on the back, they can only be considered as epithelial injuries, and none of them have damaged the bones and internal organs.

Oh no, I feel like I’m going to be exposed... Li Mu groaned inwardly and wished he could really faint.

With such a big incident, it is certain that the fight with Shanyuan will be a failure.

Especially if his identity was exposed at this time, even if he had already thought of a story, it would still be too easy to arouse suspicion.

Especially according to Jun Jiuling, if the other party did not investigate personally, it would be impossible for them to discover that the slave seal had been broken. This was the point that Li Mu least wanted to expose.

Meng Siyu curled the corners of her mouth, glanced at Tang Qin, whose face was pale beside her, and instantly understood what was going on.

He snorted in his heart and said, "Boy, don't..."

However, the word "pretended" had not yet been uttered.

She found her hand was suddenly held by someone, and the fingers were not even honest, but were roughly teasing her palm.

Thinking of the slap on the left chest just now, Meng Siyu could no longer suppress her anger.

Even though this person saved Tang Qin, he must be taught a lesson today.

Meng Siyu pulled her hand back, condensed her true energy in her palm, and was about to make Li Mu suffer, but she was stunned for a moment.

There seemed to be a flash of thunder in her mind, and the rough and teasing strokes in the palm of her hand just now gradually appeared in front of her eyes... Mother-in-law's?

She glanced at Li Mu calmly. The last character "人" was probably not written in time because she pulled her hand back.

After realizing this, she was clearly confused about who the person in front of her was. After all, apart from that brat, who else would call her like that?

After a brief thought, he rolled his eyes and continued,

"Don't bear it, scream if it hurts."

Li Mu heard the change in Meng Siyu's tone and realized that his mother-in-law, who was known as a remarkable woman, must have received his signal.

But before he understood what she said, he felt a piercing pain in his arm.

He immediately groaned and said in ventriloquy, "No, it doesn't hurt."

Seeing this, Liu Minglan on the side suddenly seemed to go crazy, and rushed directly to Meng Siyu, shouting angrily,

"Old witch, you, you...I will fight you!"

Murong Jinxiu quickly grabbed her by the back of the neck, then looked at Meng Siyu with some complexity, pursed her lips and reminded her,

"Mrs. Ge, could you please be a little gentler?"

"Heh, didn't you hear this kid say it doesn't hurt?"

"That's it..."

Meng Siyu played with the arrow pulled out from Li Mu's arm, hinting at something.

However, looking at the arrow and then at the place where Li Mu's arm was hit by the arrow, the smile on his face gradually froze.
