Chapter 314 Mr. Gongsun.
After hearing Li Mu's words, the woman seemed to come to her senses and hurriedly stepped out of Li Mu's arms.
He glanced at the bearded Prince of Yan, shrank his neck slightly, and took a few steps back. His legs went limp and he collapsed to the ground, holding his head and crying.
"Mu'er, what's going on?"
King Yan's face looked very ugly and he turned to look at Li Mu.
Seeing this, Li Mu sighed lightly and said in a cold voice:
"I just asked and went to the village to see that this group of Rannu people raped 17 girls in the village and killed a total of 33 villagers."
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the audience.
But it was not because of this sensational tragedy.
Rather, it was because, over the years, although the Ran Nu people had often harassed the border, they had always only robbed food and property. Unless the villagers resisted violently, there were rarely any injuries, let alone bullying of women.
Therefore, many villages had the habit of building a public granary at the entrance of the village. Whenever the Ran Nu people came, every household would take out food and gold and silver to spend money to ward off disaster.
The King of Yan never stopped this behavior of "aiding the enemy".
To the extent that when Li Mu first learned about this, he once suspected that the King of Yan was harboring the enemy to protect himself.
The discussions in the field became louder and louder. Some people were disgusted and denounced the evil deeds of Ran Nuren, while others doubted the truthfulness of what Li Mu said.
King Yan held the spear in his hand and knocked it heavily on the ground, and the scene suddenly became quiet.
Then he glanced around and said coldly:
"You don't believe Mu'er's words? Do you want to see the corpses with your own eyes to believe that your enemies killed your compatriots?"
Seeing the King of Yan's expression, Wei Pingran knew that the King of Yan was really angry, and he quickly knelt down in front of the King of Yan, clasped his fists and said:
"Your Majesty, this is not what the soldiers meant. Please..."
However, before he could finish, the King of Yan snorted coldly, pointed at Ran Nuren, who was almost fainting from the pain, and said:
"Take them back."
Then, he prepared to return to the city first.
Li Mu's face also looked very ugly. He had entered the village before and saw the bodies of the murdered villagers.
Li Mu only then realized that hearing and seeing are obviously two different feelings.
At this moment, Li Mu felt that he had a lot of anger but nowhere to vent it.
Seeing the King of Yan preparing to return, Li Mu said:
"Grandpa, I want to go to the surrounding villages to have a look. There might be..."
"You and I go back!" King Yan looked at Li Mu, with anger in his eyes, but seeing Li Mu's expression, he still whispered,
"You are the prince of the North. You have more important things to do."
Li Mu clenched his fists tightly, feeling very reluctant, but his reason told him that the King of Yan's approach must be the most appropriate.
Li Mu nodded with difficulty and was about to leave with everyone.
At this time, the old drunkard who had tricked the King of Yan before took a few gulps of wine, then carefully tied the wine gourd around his waist, and then walked up to Li Mu and the others and asked:
"Li Dayan, is this your cousin's son?"
Prince Yan glanced at the old drunkard with an expression that showed he didn't want to pay any attention to him.
The old drunkard was not angry. He looked Li Mu up and down and said in astonishment:
"Such a talented person will be brought trouble upon himself sooner or later."
"Old rascal, I haven't even come to settle accounts with you yet, but you're already scolding me first? What does it have to do with you how I educate my juniors?"
Hearing the old drunkard's words, King Yan became furious and started cursing.
The old drunkard didn't even look at King Yan again, but saluted towards Li Mu and said:
"I thank His Royal Highness for rescuing me."
Li Mu was lost in thought when he heard someone calling him. He then reacted and saw the old man in front of him saluting him. He quickly grabbed the old man's arm and said in a kind tone:
"What are you doing, senior?"
Being held back by Li Mu, the old drunkard did not insist, and stood up and said:
"I am not worthy of being called a senior. I am only a few years older than you, but I still want to remind you of something. I hope you will not think I am too nosy."
Li Mu was a little surprised. He glanced at King Yan beside him and saw that although King Yan's face looked unhappy, he didn't say anything. It was obvious that he also wanted to hear what the old drunkard had to say.
Immediately, Li Mu saluted the old drunkard and said:
"Juniors are all ears."
"For a warrior to cultivate himself, the most important thing to avoid is a lack of clarity of thoughts. If the thoughts are not clear, then the intentions are not clear. If the intentions are not clear, then everything will be in vain."
The old drunkard's tone was a little lazy, but the words he said were like a thunderbolt, striking Li Mu's brain.
Li Mu felt as if he had grasped something, but was just a little bit short. For a moment, the expression on his face changed a lot.
Sometimes it is ferocious, sometimes bitter, and sometimes sad.
But to others, all this happened in just a moment.
The old drunkard stared at Li Mu's face, sighed slightly and said:
"Your Highness, do you believe in yourself and the sword in your hand?"
Hearing this, Li Mu's expression froze, and he looked at the old drunkard in a daze, but he saw that he had turned around, holding his wine jug in his hand, and said in a leisurely tone:
"Your Highness, please do not do anything that will make you regret. It is enough to have a clear conscience!"
"It's enough to have a clear conscience..." Looking at the direction where the old drunkard left, Li Mu repeated a few words in a low voice, and his eyes gradually regained their spirit.
At this time, the King of Yan patted Li Mu on the shoulder and said:
"Don't pay attention to that old man. He keeps talking nonsense. If it weren't for you, I would have to collect his body right now."
"Senior, your words are indeed a bit roundabout."
Li Mu smiled and nodded, "But I think what he said makes sense."
"You!" King Yan said, turned around and walked away, saying angrily,
"If I can beat you..."
However, when King Yan turned around, a smile appeared on his face.
Li Mu clenched his fists and felt his thoughts become clearer.
In recent days, Li Mu always felt like he was holding his breath.
The pressure that Shan Yang put on Li Mu never disappeared.
It even gave rise to inner demons.
Although he had the help of Hu Qingyao, Li Mu subconsciously placed his hopes on King Yan.
The feeling of longing to be cared for by elders almost made Li Mu lose himself.
After all, Li Mu was just a young man in his early twenties.
"There's something I've wanted to try for a long time."
Li Mu grinned.
He admitted that in terms of cunning and experience, he could not compare with those old foxes who were nearly fifty years old.
Nor do they have the foresight and intelligence to plan everything out.
But Li Mu knew that he had a pair of fists that were bigger than most people's.
As he was thinking about it, Li Mu raised his hand reflexively and saw that what he was holding was Shuo Lei.
"Remember to return it to me when you come back."
Then, he heard King Yan, who had already walked far away, speaking without turning his head.
Li Mu smiled, his figure flashed, and he disappeared on the spot.
However, the direction he left was not towards the surrounding villages, but towards the Ran Nu army.
Since the Ran Nu people were able to abduct the King of Yan, Li Mu could naturally also abduct the Ran Nu commander this time and take him to Donglai Pass.
While thinking, Li Mu's speed became faster and faster, and soon he saw the camp where the Ran Nu people were stationed.
Li Mu shuttled through Ran Nu's camp, secretly sighing in his heart that it was not easy to find someone without the help of divination.
Just when he was about to imitate the plot in the TV drama and catch a Rannu soldier to ask him, he was stunned and looked at the Shuolei in his hand. A bold idea came to his mind.
Although the sword energy slashed out by Shuo Lei is not as sharp as before, it will naturally produce lightning properties, and the range of the sword energy will also be expanded several times.
"This is a perfect weapon for group attacks!"
The more Li Mu thought about it, the more he felt it was feasible. He could just kill a wave and run away. The enemy had only about 8,000 people and could not withstand Li Mu's attacks.
Li Mu did it as soon as he thought of it. He immediately swung up his spear and was about to take action when his expression suddenly froze. He turned back abruptly to look at the tent in the distance. His figure flashed and he went into the tent.
In the tent, a Rannu soldier knelt on one knee in front of a man and said respectfully:
"Young Patriarch, Mr. Gongsun sent a message that the Xia people's reinforcements will arrive in three days at most. This test is enough. It's time to withdraw."
The man called the young patriarch had dark skin, sharp features, and a typical Rannu appearance, but he was wearing an off-white Confucian robe.
