Chapter 16 - Xingyunzhuang

Only those who endure the most hardships can become the best.

Dream makers not only have to deal with troublesome clients, but also have to adapt to the new environment quickly.

It has to be said that the living environment in ancient times is not very friendly to modern people.

It took Li Mu five days to get from the outside of the pass to Xingyunzhuang.

Xingyunzhuang is in Baoding City, and it took five days to walk more than 600 kilometers.

After five days, Li Mu didn't even have the mood to complain.

Cha Meng and others were used to the life of displacement, and felt that five days from Shanhaiguan to Baoding was fast.

But for Li Mu and the others, this monotonous journey was simply an inhuman torture.

Especially the spoiled Tang Ruoyou, who was still enjoying the charming scenery along the way and expressing her joy in the first two days, but spent the next few days completely complaining.

The bad living environment completely smashed her dream of traveling through time!

If possible, the thing she wanted to do most was to return to the modern era and bring over the authors of the time-travel novels that misled her, to accompany her through the hard times and let them also taste the pain of time travel...

...

Seven Jinshi in one family, three Tanhua in one father and son.

Baoding Prefecture was prosperous, with people coming and going on the streets, and it looked like a big city.

Seeing the plaque of Xingyun Manor from afar, Li Mu was refreshed and finally came to the most critical plot point.

No surprise, he was not going to leave this place.

He had had enough of the days of unexpected displacement and did not plan to live anymore.

The mission must end here.

"White Snake and Black Snake should be here. When we find them, we'll find an inn to rest for a night and visit Long Xiaoyun tomorrow." Li Mu's voice was a little tired. "Chief Escort, please ask about Li Xunhuan and Xingyun Manor. I want to know who is in Xingyun Manor now."

Intelligence is always the first priority. Although the plot has deviated from the track, the characters' personalities should not have changed much.

In terms of shamelessness, the Jianghu people in the Little Li Flying Dagger plane are the best.

Because of Lin Xian'er, a large group of old Jianghu people are making trouble in Xingyun Manor now.

This group of people is not good at doing things, but they are more likely to cause trouble. They are paranoid and selfish. They attack with words and kill people at any time.

Li Mu must have first-hand information to gain a foothold in Xingyun Manor.

Cha Meng and the other person nodded and said yes, and went to do their own things.

It was boring along the way.

Li Mu often chatted with them to relieve his boredom.

Thus, the young man who grew up in the era of knowledge explosion successfully fooled several old masters.

In the impression of Cha Meng and others, Li Mu has sublimated into a genius who knows everything from astronomy to geography.

It takes at least dozens of famous teachers to cultivate him.

Knowing astronomy and geography is nothing!

The unfathomable martial arts realms such as "one sword breaks all laws", "Sword Twenty-three", "Broken Void" and so on that occasionally jump out of Li Mu's mouth are what scare them.

That is the martial arts level that they can't understand at all, just like they can't understand Li Xiaobai's moves!

They have never questioned Li Mu's theory. After all, the fart of the strong is the truth!

Cha Meng and others have long dared not have any strange thoughts. They even look forward to staying by Li Mu's side and working like cows and horses after three months, which seems to be more conducive to seeking a bright and beautiful future...

...

The next day.

Li Mu sent a visiting card and went to Long Xiaoyun's house.

Cha Meng had already found out.

Li Xunhuan had not returned yet. Now Xingyun Manor was full of people from the martial arts world that Long Xiaoyun had gathered, such as You Longsheng, the young master of Cangjian Manor, and Zhao Zhengyi, who was iron-faced and selfless.

These people from the martial arts world were gathered by Long Xiaoyun in Xingyun Manor to discuss how to deal with the Plum Blossom Bandits.

Xingyun Manor.

Li Mu did not wait long.

Long Xiaoyun, dressed in brocade and gorgeous clothes, came out with a smile. He looked at Li Mu and said cheerfully: "As expected, heroes emerge from youth. The famous demon sword Li Xiaobai can come to discuss justice with us. Xingyun Manor is honored! Young man Li, please come in."

Demon sword Li Xiaobai is like a rising star, and his strange swordsmanship is even more unrecognizable. He is no longer an unknown person.

Now he has shown his signboard and come to visit.

Long Xiaoyun would naturally not neglect him just because he looked like an ordinary person.

After all, Long Xiaoyun was just a second-rate expert in the martial arts world. He relied on Li Xunhuan's name to have his current status in the martial arts world. If he didn't make some friends to support his appearance, he really couldn't survive.

"Please!" Li Mu smiled slightly and followed Long Xiaoyun into the manor.

"The Plum Blossom Thief has committed many evil deeds and is hated by both humans and gods. Young Master Li is here at the right time. You Longsheng, the young master of Cangjian Mountain Villa, is also in the manor. You young people can have more exchanges..." Long Xiaoyun introduced the general situation of the Plum Blossom Thief to Li Mu while walking, with a warm, friendly and natural tone.

Li Mu interrupted him with a smile: "Master Long, I'm not here for the Plum Blossom Bandits!"

Long Xiaoyun was stunned for a moment, then he gave him a knowing look and said with a smile: "Everyone has a love for beauty. Young people are full of vigor, unlike old guys like me, who have long lost their interest in beauty! However, Lin Xian'er is going to marry the person who got rid of the Plum Blossom Bandits. If Li Shaoxia wants to marry Lin Xian'er, he will inevitably have to deal with the Plum Blossom Bandits..."

"I'm not here for Lin Xian'er either!" Li Mu said with a smile.

"Then you..." Long Xiaoyun frowned.

"Master Long, I came here specifically for you." Li Mu said.

"For me?" Long Xiaoyun was stunned.

"Li Xunhuan has entered the customs!" Li Mu looked forward and said lightly.

Long Xiaoyun's face froze, then returned to normal, sighing and saying, "Speaking of which, we brothers haven't seen each other for ten years. As the eldest brother, I am sorry for him. This time, I will never let him go! With him here, we are more confident in dealing with the Plum Blossom Bandits!"

Li Mu said lazily, "For ten years, he has never forgotten Lin Shiyin."

Long Xiaoyun's heart was instantly hurt, and his face sank: "Young Master Li, I treat you as a friend, why do you come to tease me? This is just one time. If you provoke my brotherhood again, don't blame me for turning my face against you."

Li Mu glanced at Long Xiaoyun and lowered his voice and said, "I can make both of them give up."

Long Xiaoyun was shocked, he swallowed hard, looked around, and his face was uncertain: "Young Master Li, what do you want to do?"

Took the bait!

Li Mu smiled and glanced at Long Xiaoyun: "Master Long, don't be so nervous. We are not enemies. I am here to cooperate with you."

Long Xiaoyun said with a dark face: "Long never cooperates with people with bad intentions."

Li Mu smiled, took out a dozen white papers full of handwriting from his arms, and handed them over: "Don't be so anxious to draw conclusions, look at something first, and it won't be too late to say it after you finish reading it."

The black snake following behind sighed when he saw the stack of white papers, with a complicated expression. The things on the paper were all from his investigation, and it was precisely because of this that he felt particularly incredible.

Long Xiaoyun took the stack of white papers suspiciously, glanced at it, and frowned.

But when he continued to read, the shock on his face suddenly turned intense. After a moment, he trembled all over and asked in horror: "Is this true?"

"Absolutely true." Li Mu smiled, "If Mr. Long doesn't believe it, you can send someone to investigate it yourself. These things should not be difficult to investigate!"

"Young Master Li, please wait for a moment. Someone will arrange a guest room for you. Long will take his leave first. If this is successful, you will be Long's great benefactor." Long Xiaoyun was absent-minded. He bowed to Li Mu, hurriedly said a word, and turned away.

"Li Xiaobai, what did you show him?" Tang Ruoyu didn't understand, approached Li Mu, and asked curiously.

"A scientific investigation report." Li Mu smiled like a fox.
