Chapter 552: 8 Heavenly Realms?
"Father! I am late in coming to your rescue! I hope you will forgive me!"
In the distance, Song Chun led a group of government troops and rushed towards this side.
When there was still a distance of more than ten meters between him, he slid down to his knees and fell to the ground. His armor rubbed against the ground, and even sporadic sparks could be seen faintly.
"Father! Wow wow wow!"
Song Chun slid to get close to Li Mu, and found that he was still a little short of the target. He hurriedly crawled forward a few steps, hugged Li Mu's calf and cried,
"Father, I have finally found you!"
Li Mu kicked Song Chun away in disgust, thinking to himself, is this magic so powerful?
Do you still think of yourself as his father?
Behind him, a group of palace soldiers looked at each other.
King Jiang and the others had seen it before, but seeing their master hugging the young man's legs and calling him daddy really made them unsure for a moment.
The soldier, who was obviously Song Chun's confidant, stepped forward carefully, helped Song Chun up, and whispered in his ear,
"Your Highness, who is this?"
"Are you looking for death? You don't even know our father, so why are you still standing there? Do you want me to punish you for your disrespect?"
Song Chun kicked the trusted soldier on the calf, causing him to kneel down.
Seeing this, the soldier was a little confused, but he did not dare to disobey Song Chun, and hurriedly kowtowed to Li Mu.
"Your Majesty, I am here to see you! I am late in coming to your rescue, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
When the palace soldiers saw that their leader had knelt down, they all put down their weapons and knelt down and kowtowed to Li Mu.
"Hahahaha, all right, all right, soldiers, stand up, stand up!"
At this time, Jun Jiuling suddenly appeared beside Li Mu, with his head raised, his hands on his hips, his nose facing the sky, and laughing.
Seeing this, Li Mu was stunned and asked curiously,
"They can't see you?"
"Of course, my beauty is something that everyone can see, right?"
Jun Jiuling raised his chin, then floated to Li Mu's side and said with great interest,
"You bastard, quickly tell them to prepare the sedan chair, and we will go back to the palace."
It was rare for Li Mu to see Jun Jiuling so happy, and he didn't want to spoil her fun, so he followed Jun Jiuling's instructions.
After a while, a hastily assembled gilded sedan chair stopped at the gate of the Imperial Master's Mansion.
Li Mu took Xu's mother and Xu Doudou into the imperial sedan chair.
He also arranged for Xu's father and several other farmers to follow behind in a horse-drawn carriage.
However, Jun Jiuling didn't buy it. He pouted and chirped in Li Mu's ear,
"What kind of sedan chair is this! These bastards, punish them!"
Li Mu smiled but didn't say anything.
It's already pretty good that this makeshift team can come up with this.
In the sedan chair, Xu's mother looked at Li Mu with a worried look on her face and advised,
"Li Mu, now that the defenders outside the city won't stop us anymore, why don't we just leave?"
"You, the emperor... Well, I'm afraid only the fool Song Chun would believe it. The generals under King Jiang are not so easy to fool."
Li Mu naturally heard the hidden meaning of Xu's mother and shook his head.
"Aunt, I never thought of becoming an emperor."
"Then you..." Mother Xu frowned slightly. She knew Li Mu was smart, but she didn't expect Li Mu to be so direct. After thinking for a while, she said,
"Then we'd better leave quickly. If your identity arouses suspicion from the current emperor, it will not be a good thing."
"Mom, Li Mu must have his own plans. Let's not worry about these."
At this time, Xu Doudou spoke and gently tugged at Xu's mother's sleeve.
"You little girl..." Mother Xu rolled her eyes at her silly daughter and said unhappily,
"You want to be his concubine here, right?"
"You know, if King Jiang declares himself emperor, the imperial court will not sit idly by. This place will soon become a place of trouble. I'm trying to persuade him to leave for his own good."
Mother Xu held Xu Doudou's hand, looked back at Li Mu, and said earnestly,
"Since you don't care about these things, there's no need to wade into this muddy water. Besides, the reason we were able to do so smoothly today is because we didn't have to face that damn demon. If we don't escape now, it will be too late."
"Dead demon?" Li Mu raised his head in doubt when he heard this name again.
Xu Doudou seemed to remember what her mother had said to her before, and hurriedly said,
"Li Mu, why don't we just listen to mother and leave? Mother and the others are no match for that androgynous state teacher. If we run into him, we won't be able to leave."
However, when Xu's mother heard this, she was a little unhappy. She frowned and said in an indignant tone,
"Who said your father and I are not his opponents? If he hadn't used poison, I would have torn his head off. I will settle accounts with the man who dares to abuse me sooner or later."
Hearing this, Li Mu raised his eyebrows, as if remembering something. He turned his wrist and a brown pill appeared between his two fingers. He handed it to Xu's mother and said,
"Auntie, eat this."
Mother Xu was stunned for a moment, then took it and threw it directly into her mouth. She found that the pill not only had no taste, but also melted in her mouth. If she hadn't thrown it into her mouth herself, she wouldn't even realize that she had swallowed the pill. She asked curiously,
"What kind of medicine is this?"
Li Mu was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that Xu's mother would trust him so much that she took the medicine without hesitation.
You know, she just suffered a great loss because of poisoning.
"Qi Condensation Powder."
Li Mu said lightly, then put his hand on Xu's mother's shoulder and asked seriously,
"Aunt, try it and see if you can't mobilize any of your true energy at all."
Hearing this, Xu's mother was stunned at first, then tried to circulate her Qi, and found that it was just as Li Mu said. She looked at Li Mu in astonishment and said puzzledly,
"You, what are you going to do."
"Don't get me wrong, Auntie. I am..." Li Mu was about to raise his hand to dissolve the medicinal properties of the Qi Condensing Powder in Xu's mother's body.
Unexpectedly, Xu's mother grabbed Li Mu's wrist and said quickly,
"What a misunderstanding! Li Mu, I know you are young and hot-tempered, but you can't make such a mistake. The emperor's favorite concubine is just a temporary measure. Don't act on impulse."
"what?"
Li Mu raised his eyebrows and was about to explain.
Unexpectedly, Xu Doudou ran into Li Mu's arms, hugged Li Mu's waist tightly with both arms and shouted,
"Li Mu, Daddy is still in the carriage behind. You, you can't treat Mom like that. Mom is old and ugly. If you have anything to say, you, you can come to me. I am willing to take the blame for Mom."
As soon as these words were spoken, Li Mu and Xu's mother looked at Xu Doudou.
Mother Xu's eyelids couldn't stop twitching.
What does "Daddy is still in the carriage at the back" mean?
Does that mean that when your father is not around, Li Mu can do whatever he wants?
What does it mean that your mother is old and ugly? What does it mean that you are willing to suffer for your mother?
Mother Xu's chest heaved. It was obvious that Xu Doudou's words had made her even more angry than Li Mu's misbehavior towards her.
He reached out and grabbed Xu Doudou's ear, pulling her out of Li Mu's arms, and scolded her,
"Girl, put away your little thoughts. Mother is so pretty, it's normal for him to have some evil intentions. Can mother be as broad-minded as him?"
Then, he turned his gaze to Li Mu and said in the tone of an elder scolding a younger person,
"Li Mu, I understand that you can't control yourself in front of such a beauty as your aunt, but you..."
"Stop!" Li Mu shouted suddenly, wondering what was going on.
He broke free from Xu's mother's hand that was holding his wrist, and then waved his sleeve in front of her eyes, dissolving the Qi Condensation Powder, and took out a jade bottle from the training, and stuffed it into Xu's mother's hand.
"Aunt, this is the antidote for the Condensing Qi Powder. It can cure the poison in uncle and the others."
"What happened just now was all a misunderstanding. I respect my aunt very much!"
Mother Xu glanced at the jade bottle in her hand, then a smile appeared on her lips, and she said in a resentful tone,
"I thought you would make the best of a bad situation, but I didn't expect... Oh, it seems that I am really old and ugly."
Afterwards, Xu's mother tossed the jade bottle in her hand again and looked at Li Mu with admiration in her eyes.
"Qi Condensing Powder... It seems that you have a close relationship with the girl from the Ge family. Why, do you think someone has stolen the formula of Qi Condensing Powder?"
"That's right. The poison we were poisoned with before only blocked the circulation of our Qi at most, but it was not as strong as the one you fed us. It directly sealed our Qi Sea."
"I didn't feed her..." Li Mu complained in his heart, but he also knew that he was fooled again. He looked at Xu's mother with some displeasure.
Mother Xu smiled, and seeing Li Mu's eyes, she patted his head lovingly and said in a soft tone,
"So you left the man in black robe behind because you suspected him?"
"Well, this time it's all thanks to you, I still have to repay this favor, not to mention that Doudou's father and several fellow apprentices are also injured, so they won't be going out to sea for the time being."
As she spoke, Xu's mother took Li Mu's hand and put it together with Xu Doudou's hand.
"You're a good kid, I've chosen you! No matter what you want to do next, Doudou's father, my six fellow apprentices, and eight celestial beings will accompany you to make trouble. As long as you don't rebel, I'll keep you safe!"
"Thank you for your kindness, Auntie. I... um?"
Li Mu was about to refuse, but then he suddenly looked up at Xu's mother, his eyes full of disbelief.
"Eight Heavenly Realms?"
