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

Chapter 309 Qiuzhou Xinye.

Li Mu narrowed his eyes, his figure flashed, and then he disappeared on the spot.

Until the shadow left.

Li Mu then reappeared and came to the place where the black shadow had previously appeared.

Suddenly, I discovered that there was a tunnel here that led to nowhere.

The tunnel is so large that it can even accommodate a horse-drawn carriage.

"Is this the entrance to the haunted city?"

While thinking, Li Mu's eyes swept towards the grassland again.

Only then did I realize that such tunnels could be found everywhere on the grassland.

Li Mu had been looking for a city-state before and subconsciously missed these.

There is such a tunnel on the grassland every hundred meters or so, and sometimes there are even several.

The sizes vary, some are even larger than the one Li Mu discovered at the beginning, and can even accommodate three or four carriages in and out at the same time.

Some are very small, so small that only young children can enter and exit.

Not only that, the slopes of the tunnels are also different.

Li Mu pondered for a while, and decided to enter from the tunnel where the black shadow came out from the beginning.

Then he thought of the black shadow from before, who was covered in a black robe from head to toe, and his original appearance was almost invisible.

Lawless places, bandits, all kinds of people, these keywords are linked together.

Li Mu immediately took out a silver mask from his arms and put it on his face.

Li Mu was all too familiar with this kind of setting.

Thinking about the last time he wore this mask when he got married with Xu Youzhi, Li Mu felt a little sad.

"Is there something wrong with that girl?"

While thinking, Li Mu had already reached the depths of the tunnel.

The tunnel obviously did not lead directly to the ghost city. Not only was the light extremely dim, but there were also many forks in the road.

But Li Mu was fast and had a good memory.

Even though he didn't know the correct way to go, Li Mu used the most stupid method to try one by one, and it only took a cup of tea.

Looking at the faint light at the end, Li Mu couldn't help but perk up.

If you listen carefully, you will notice that there are more than a hundred people ahead.

Li Mu placed his hand on the Shuolei spear behind him, and with a flash of his figure, he walked out of the tunnel.

The scene before him made Li Mu feel relieved, but also shocked.

"Under this grassland, there is such a huge underground palace."

At the end of the tunnel is a huge palace, which is much larger than the Mo City that Li Mu had seen before.

The underground palace has everything, including houses and streets. It is not an exaggeration to call it a city.

Li Mu looked in front of him and it seemed to be a market.

There are many vendors on both sides of the road, and many onlookers stopping in front of the vendors.

But the strange thing is that they hardly speak, and mostly communicate with gestures.

What made Li Mu even more embarrassed was that almost all of these people were not wearing masks.

Li Mu touched the mask on his face and was hesitating whether to take it off, otherwise it would be too eye-catching.

At this time, a very small male voice came from my ear:

"Young man, are you new here?"

Li Mu frowned, took his hand off the mask, and turned to look.

He is a middle-aged man who looks to be around thirty years old.

The man is very fat, with several chins alone.

The chest is wider than the shoulders and the waist is thicker than the hips. If you don’t look carefully, you might think it’s a big ball of flesh.

Li Mu nodded slightly without saying anything.

Then I saw the fat man squeeze his facial features, as if he wanted to laugh?

He hooked his finger at Li Mu.

Li Mu thought about it and followed the man to a stall nearby.

The man picked up a piece of rag from the stall, approached Li Mu and whispered:

"Don't be nervous, young man. Every year, there are at least 800 people like you who accidentally come here."

"Whether you want to do good deeds or are desperate, it will be easier to do things with a map in hand, right?"

The fat man shook the rag in his hand and slapped it directly on Li Mu's chest. He grinned and whispered,

"Chenghui, fifty taels!"

Li Mu grabbed the torn linen and glanced at it. It was indeed a map. After thinking for a moment, he slipped a gold ingot from his sleeve and spread it in front of the fat man.

However, when the fat man was about to reach out to grab it, Li Mu's hand trembled slightly. There was no big movement, and the fat man grabbed nothing.

The fat man's face changed, he coughed lightly, looked at Li Mu, and said with gritted teeth:

"Young man, now that you are in Guicheng, you still have to follow the rules here."

Li Mu glanced around. If it weren't for the fat man's signal, there would have been no less than ten people rushing towards him.

He immediately placed the gold ingot in the fat man's palm and said with a smile:

"Don't be nervous, bro. I just came to this strange city and I don't know the rules. I still need your guidance."

As he spoke, he flipped his wrist and placed another gold ingot in the fat man's hand.

The fat man's eyes suddenly lit up. He looked around and saw that no one was paying attention. He quickly put away the gold ingots and pulled Li Mu towards a small alley.

"Looking at the young man's behavior, he doesn't look desperate, nor does he look like a fool. Could it be that he is here to seek revenge?"

In the alley, the fat man's tone obviously became much more flattering.

Li Mu's expression remained unchanged. He neither admitted nor denied it, but he still followed the fat man's words and asked:

"I want to find someone in Guicheng. Does my brother have any connections?"

The fat man patted his chest and said, "I guessed right."

"Young man, you are lucky to have met me today. There is nothing in this ghost city that I don't know, but this..."

As he spoke, Lai Bujiu rubbed his fingers in front of Li Mu, obviously asking for money.

Li Mu raised his neck, pretending to be a prodigal son, and waved his hand in front of Lai Bujiu's face. Five large golden and yellow ingots appeared in his hand.

Then he sighed again and said:

"That's all I have left. If Brother Lai can help me find someone, all of this will naturally belong to him. But if Brother Lai treats me like a novice who has never seen the world..."

"The gun in my Qiuzhou Xinye's hand is not a vegetarian either!"

As he spoke, Li Mu patted the spear behind him, and his temperament as a harmless and silly son of a landlord was clearly revealed.

"So it's Gongzi Xin. I've heard of you for a long time. Who is Gongzi Xin looking for?"

Li Mu looked at Lai Bujiu, who looked as if he had really heard of his name, and thought to himself that he really had good acting skills.

Immediately, he pretended to be disgusted and asked in a low voice:

"Brother Lai, have you ever seen a Rannu person..."

Then, Li Mu gave a random description, which was nothing more than dark skin, ugly appearance, and other nonsense.

However, Lai Bujiu's eyes lit up, and then he said with some suspicion:

"A few Rannu people did come to Guicheng recently, but..."

"Brother Lai, just tell me where to find him. You don't need to worry about the rest!"

As he spoke, Li Mu stuffed all five gold ingots into Lai Bujiu's hands.

Lai Bujiu was stunned at first, and immediately wanted to put the gold ingots away, but Li Mu grabbed Lai Bujiu's arm and stared at him.

"Inner city! In the inner city. Although there are Ran slaves in the outer city, they are definitely not the ones you are looking for. A few days ago, a group of Ran slaves suddenly came to Gui City and rented a yard on West Street."

Lai Bujiu stared at the gold ingot in his hand and said without raising his head,

"Ten, ten gold ingots, Lai can help you enter the inner city..."

However, before Lai Bujiu could finish his words, Li Mu had already disappeared.
