Chapter 398 Blending Into Zuo Xing City

He Xiaoyu asked the crucial question.

Li Mu pondered for a while before replying, "The entrance singularity is that great hall, and the exit singularity should be in Mu Yun's mansion.

He's the realm lord of this realm, and he definitely wants to control the exit singularity, so he'll definitely build his mansion near the singularity."

"Why don't we go to Right Star City first?"

"It doesn't matter where we go, but we must get rid of Muyun first, only by getting rid of this hidden danger can we have unhindered access to this realm, and we can search for the exit singularity in peace."

Several women nodded slowly.

Just, how should I kill Mak Yun?

Li Mu suggested, "Let's go to Left Star City first, and act with the camera when we get there, we definitely can't think of a solution by sitting and thinking, we can only take one step at a time."

Lin Wan asked, "Hubby, what about Little White and them?"

Li Mu pondered for a while and said to her, "They definitely can't show themselves, so we can only leave them here and let them cover for us."

Covering up?

The women looked at him in disbelief.

Li Mu hesitated, "If I say it, my wife should be upset again."

"Go ahead, I'm not mad."

"Okay, don't you dare back out!"

"Well, no backsies!"

"Wife, I want Little White and the others to wreak havoc on the countryside and attract the guards of this realm, or make it easier for us to act."

Niang Lin's showy brows were locked, but she was true to her word and didn't lash out on the spot.

"Why?" She asked in disbelief.

"The reasoning is simple, after all, Mak Yun is the Lord of a realm, even if it's a small realm, the number of guards is definitely less, facing that many people, I'm not sure that I can succeed in a single strike."

"So, you want to draw out the guards of the two cities and then take your chances."

"Yes, it would be a little more certain."

"There seems to be some problems, if Makun is always tied to the guards, won't your plan fall through."

"It doesn't matter, if that happens, the defense of his mansion is bound to be empty, we can give up on assassinating him and change our goal to finding the exit singularity on."

Lin Wan stopped asking questions, but her tightly locked eyebrows, still didn't unfold.

Li Mu laughed, "Wife, don't forget, he's about to get married, can he easily give up on such an important moment, so well, he most likely won't leave the city."

"Though what you say makes sense, I will not agree to this plan, a word for the scourge of the countryside, how much killing will be caused, I am not in favor of this."

Shen Xingyue said from the side, "Let's do it this way, Brother Mu, you can let Little White and the others go around causing trouble, but they can't kill or eat people, so if you kill two birds with one stone, Little Wan will be able to agree."

Li Mu nodded and said, "It's fine, I hadn't intended for them to kill people, let alone eat them, there are many ways to wreak havoc on the countryside, it doesn't have to be a human tragedy."

Lin Wan's eyebrows unfolded as she nodded and said, "Yes, I have no more questions."

Li Mu called Little White over and asked it, "Do you understand?"

"I hear you, master, I can promise not to actively kill anyone, but if they make a move against us, can we fight back?"

"Ask your mistress, not me."

Lin Wan replied seriously, "Of course you can fight back, if they want to kill you guys, there's no need to be polite, what to do, you guys can see for yourselves!"

"As you wish, Xiaobai understands!"

...

Gray tiles, white walls, narrow alleys, red doors.

The river is crossed by an arched bridge, and willows hang upside down on both banks.

Green stone pavement, light boat swinging, a good picture of the beauty of Jiangnan, poetic.

This was the Left Star City that Li Mu and the others saw.

Lin Wan shook Li Mu's hand and asked quietly, "Hubby, Left Star City isn't small, where are we going to find Mu Yun's mansion?"

Li Mu replied in a low voice, "The kid surnamed Chen has explained that both Boundary Master's Mansions are located in the center of the city, so it shouldn't be too hard to find, so we'll just make our way to the middle."

The group walked through the streets and alleys towards the center of the city.

He didn't get far out when he was suddenly stopped in his tracks.

It turned out that the Boundary Master's big wedding, several streets and roads in the center of the city had been blocked off, and unrelated people were strictly forbidden to enter, so there was no chance to approach the Boundary Master's Mansion at all.

Lin Wan asked softly, "What to do?"

Liamu shrugged.

"It's definitely not a good idea to break in, so let's find a local to do something about it!"

The group headed off to the side and found a tea shop at the mouth of a secluded alley.

Reimu gestured toward his companions, and a few of them slipped into the house.

After sitting down, they asked for a pot of fragrant tea and a few plates of dim sum.

When the fellow brought up the tea and snacks, Li Mu casually asked, "Little brother, how come the city won't let you go?"

"You're from Right Star City, aren't you?"

"Yeah, we purposely came from Right Star City with the intention of observing the Boundary Master's wedding and sticking to the joyous spirit, but we didn't realize that the roads were blocked and we couldn't approach the Boundary Master's Mansion at all."

The fellow laughed, "It's because there are too many spectators, and I'm worried about messing up the order, that's why the road is closed, and during the Boundary Lord's wedding, no one is allowed to approach the Boundary Lord's Mansion without a road sign."

Li Mu pretended to feel sorry for himself, "Alas, it's too bad, a trip for nothing, if we had known this, we wouldn't have come."

The fellow looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to the place.

Only then did he whisper, "Several guests, do you really want to go over there and make a scene?"

Li Mu hurriedly nodded his head and responded, "I want it too much, if I don't want it, why would I need to come all the way here, little brother, could it be that you have a good idea?"

"Got you right, I've got a couple of unused street signs I can sell you guys, if you want them, you'll need to..."

He said, rubbing two fingers together.

Got it. Wanted money!

Xiao Li brother does not hate this kind of behavior, the gentleman loves to take the money, you want to buy and I want to sell, as long as both sides think there is no loss, this transaction is fair.

He just lamented how there are scalpers everywhere!

"How much do you want, little brother?"

The fellow lowered his voice and said, "There are four of you in total, I'll give you a discounted price of four taels of gold."

Reimu didn't say anything, his brow furrowed.

The fellow boasted, "This guest, this price of mine is a great deal, if you don't believe me, you can go to other houses and ask around, people can sell a road sign for as much as two taels of gold, and they don't haggle, they love to buy or not."

Little Brother Li secretly cursed his mother, to see a scene also need to spend money, there is no law of the king.

It's not impossible that you want to make money, but this eating is too damn ugly, one person one or two gold, why don't you go and rob?

The fellow prodded, "What does dude say, yes or no?"

"It's too expensive, for the four of us, I'll give half a tael of gold!"

The fellow almost didn't jump up, and said furiously, "Man, you're too ruthless, rowing directly from four taels to half a taels, so insincere."

"It's not that I'm scratching hard, it's that you're asking for too much, I'm not going to look at it, I can't afford to lose anything, and that street sign of yours has an expiration date, it'll be obsolete after that, and you'll see who's going to buy it?"

"No, no, man, I see you guys are dressed to impress..."

Just as the words came out of my mouth, I looked down and saw my shoes, and thought, "Have these people just finished transplanting rice seedlings, why do they all have muddy feet?

He really let him guess right, Li Mu and others are not just from the rice paddies not long out, have not had time to rinse, that is to say, there is no place to rinse.

Li Mu laughed, "Let's do it this way, you don't want four taels, and I won't scratch the price of half a taels, I can offer one taels of gold, if it's okay, we'll have a deal, if not, you go and get busy!"

The fellow hesitated for a long time and finally stomped his foot.

"OK, count me unlucky, this deal is lost, one or two for one or two."

Little Brother Li boss of contempt, but also one or two on one or two, one or two gold, you kid will take advantage of a big bargain, with the old man pull what calf.

At that moment, also do not reveal him, one to pay money, one to pay the road sign, both sides are happy.

After the fellow left, He Xiaoyu asked, "Senior, we're not short of gold either, why are you being catty with him and wasting so much of your breath."

Li Mu laughed, ''I naturally did it intentionally, and I won't lie to you, not to mention four taels, even if it's forty taels or four hundred taels, I'll be able to give it to him.

But there are consequences from that that we may not be able to afford."

"What consequences?"

"Our purposefulness is easily suspected by people, after all, it's just a looker, it's justifiable to spend a small amount of money, but if you spend a lot of money on a looker, people will suspect your motives."

Lin Wan and the others realized Li Mu's intention.

His idea was simple, pay attention to every detail and try not to reveal his identity as much as possible, and by doing so, he could score a hit.

A few people finished their tea, settled the tea money, got up and left the tea shop, and once again walked towards the center of the city.

The journey was unimpeded, and the card-keeping sergeant let them in after checking the road sign.

Mu Yun's big wedding was three days later, Li Mu they found an inn nearby, after paying nearly ten times the price, it was only after they chartered a guest room.

There was nothing else to do, so Li Mu asked the women to guard the guest room and planned to step on the spot himself.

Lin Wan and the others didn't stop him, they just instructed him to be careful and let him leave alone.

The location where they were temporarily staying was already very close to the Boundary Master's Mansion.

Across two streets, a gilded mansion could be seen in the distance.

The inside and outside of the mansion were decorated with lights and colors, firecrackers roared in the open space in front of the gate, and many guests gathered near the gate, each looking forward to it.

There were more people watching around them, all with their necks stretched out, and they didn't know what they were looking at.

Li Mu secretly ate a shock, could it be that he heard the wrong day, today is the good day of Makun, then is not it a case of getting up early and catching a late show, and going blind for nothing with one or two pieces of gold.

He hurriedly went over, squeezed into the crowd, found a kind-faced older woman, rushed at the person with a clasped fist and asked, "Big sister, isn't the wedding ceremony in three days, why is it so lively today?"

The older woman was a rather talkative person, and when she heard someone ask her, she immediately opened her mouth.

"Young man, it looks like you haven't taken a daughter-in-law; according to local custom, the dowry should be passed three days before the wedding, and the new daughter-in-law should come and step on the door and slam it for peace of mind for years and years to come."

Scoffing sounds rang out around them, and it seemed that everyone recognized the older woman's statement that Little Brother Li was a big stick in the mud who couldn't get a wife.
