I can travel a million miles

Chapter 72 Before the Imperial City

"Ah ah... I said, I said..."

I don't know whether it was Chen Mu's sentence that there is no afterlife, or the severe pain, which finally made the servant unbearable, and screamed: "It's all Xing Shao..."

boom!
Chen Xing kicked up a stone, and the stone shot towards the servant's head like a pellet.

Chen Mu didn't stop him, and let the stone penetrate the servant's head, causing him to die on the spot. He said casually, "What's the point of killing people and silence them?"

Say it.

Chen Mu waved his hand casually.

There was a clicking sound coming from Chen Xing's body, his face was instantly congested and red, and he was forced to kneel on the ground by a force without any resistance, sharp bones were faintly visible under the folded robe, and blood was gurgling out.

There was horror and fear in his eyes, he was panting violently but he couldn't make a sound.

Chen Mu didn't look at it either, just cupped his hands at Chen Guang and said, "Second Uncle, I'll go to Sitiantai first. As for the crimes of framing and murdering relatives, Second Uncle will enforce the family law."

Chen Guang also didn't go to see Chen Xing, and nodded slightly at Chen Mu, saying, "That's right, the matter of Master Chief is more important, you go first, and we'll talk about other things when we come back."

Chen Mu left the yard.

From the beginning to the end, he never looked at Chen Xing.

Only Chen Guang, whose face gradually turned cold, was left behind. He glanced at Chen Xing, who had almost broken all his bones and knelt there, and said coldly, "Take the family stick, master the law!"

……

Xuanguo Mansion.

In a small courtyard.

Chen Yu was leaning on a reclining chair, eating the fragrant fruit fed by the beautiful maid beside him, and listening to the report of the servant kneeling in front of him.

"Collude with a cult?"

After listening to the servant's report, Chen Yu chuckled lightly, and said, "Chen Xing is really ruthless, he will put people to death if he makes a move."

The beautiful maid next to her moved her eyes and said in a low voice: "I heard that the evidence is convincing, it may not be false, the mansion was tossed like that the day before yesterday..."

"Who knows."

Chen Yu said casually: "It doesn't matter if it's true or not. Since the evidence is solid, then Chen Mu must have no choice but to run away this time. In short, this matter is very serious, so you should not talk about it outside."

The beautiful servant girl and the kneeling servant nodded immediately.

They naturally also know the seriousness of the matter.

"Sister Yao surprised me. She seems to be only 16 years old, and she is about to reach the seventh rank. Her future achievements must be higher than that of Chen Xing..."

Chen Yu chuckled again.

I don't have any thoughts about Chen Yao, because no matter how outstanding Chen Yao is, she is still a daughter, and even if she doesn't get married in the future, it won't affect his status.

Only someone like Chen Xing, if he progresses further and gradually reaches a position of high authority, will he be able to threaten him a little at home. After all, although he is the eldest son, he still has two older brothers.

"Go ahead and investigate."

"Don't inquire about Chen Mu's collusion with the cult, focus on Chen Xing, I want to know what he did in this matter, if it is really framed... Hey."

It doesn't matter whether Chen Mu is dead or not, but if he can get through this incident and get a handle on Chen Xing, then he will be able to manipulate Chen Xing at will in the future.

"Yes."

The servant responded.

however.

Before he could go out, another servant hurried into the courtyard.

"Third Master, there is something important!"

"I just heard that the head of Si Tiantai ordered Master Mu to go to the Star Observation Tower to have a talk."

This sentence made Chen Yu startled.

The beautiful maidservant next to her also showed a surprised look.

Observatory? !

Chen Yu showed a hint of confusion at first, no matter how big the matter of collusion with a cult would be, it would not alarm the director, not to mention the Star Tower is even more important, even princes and lords are not allowed to take a step if they are not ordered by the emperor or invited. Could it be...

Chen Yu finally thought of something, showing a look of astonishment and disbelief.

The whole person suddenly stood up.

"Can you say that again!"

"...Master Si Tiantai ordered Master Mu to go to the Star Observation Tower to have a talk."

The servant trembled in response.

broken!

It turned out to be him!

Chen Yu froze in place.

The events of that night were not disclosed to the outside world. He only said that the Xuanguo Mansion resisted the cult and shattered the cult's conspiracy, but he knew that there was a magician who turned the tide that night, and he said that the magician might be the Xuanguo Mansion. someone in.

At that time, Chen Yu didn't really believe it, because whoever became a magician would hide it, no matter if it was a master or a servant girl, it was all a step up to the sky, and there was no need for it.

But now,
Chen Mu, the commander of Si Tiantai, went to the Star Observatory for a talk.

Linked together, the meaning it points to is already self-evident!
"..."

Chen Yu came back to his senses, and sat back with a cloudy complexion.

Chen Xing kicked on the iron board, and this time the end probably won't be very good. Xuanguo Mansion has a magician, and the whole mansion will prosper, but the problem is that no matter how prosperous Xuanguo Mansion is, it will not be good for him. It didn't have much influence, and he had no possibility of inheriting the title.

There are always two eldest sons pressing down on the head.

But now.

There was one more person who could stand on his head, and he jumped up suddenly without any warning.

What made Chen Yu even more unacceptable was why the awakened person wasn't himself? !

The matter of awakening can fall on Chen Mu, and it can also fall on him. Once he can awaken, no matter how low his rank is, his status will change suddenly, and he will no longer be able to eat and drink. The third son who is playing for fun will directly become the most powerful heir of the Xuanguo Mansion!

Chen Yu's face was ugly.

The servants and maidservants beside him also dared not speak.

I don't know how long it took, and finally another servant came into the courtyard and reported in a low voice: "Third Master, the master just enforced the family law. I heard that the beating was very heavy. Master Xing has lost his breath."

"Die, die!"

Chen Yu waved his hands irritably, and said, "Everyone go down."

……

Outside Xuanguo Mansion.

Chen Mu stepped out from the side door, and someone from outside the mansion greeted him immediately.

"Master Mu, the master asked you to take his sedan chair, so it will be faster."

On the road in Kyoto, the fastest thing is not a carriage, but a sedan chair, but the prerequisite is that the person who carries the sedan chair must be a warrior, and the rank cannot be very low.

On weekdays, four seventh-rank warriors carried the palanquin for Duke Xuan Guo Chen Guang.

Although the seventh-rank martial artist already has a certain status, it is not considered humiliating to carry the palanquin for Duke Xuan Guo, because the status of Xuan Guogong is equivalent to the grandmaster of the third-rank martial arts.

Being able to carry the palanquin for the Grandmaster is even a great honor for warriors below the sixth rank.

"Master Mu, please get on the sedan chair."

Several bearers spoke respectfully to Chen Mu.

The news in the mansion spread quickly, and they already knew the identity of Chen Mu, a magician of the fifth-grade Taoist realm!
Such an identity is naturally enough for them to carry the sedan chair.

"it is good."

With a calm expression, Chen Mu got on the sedan chair calmly.

With his current state of mind, naturally there will be no change due to the change of status, otherwise he would have disclosed his identity as a magician long ago, and he would not have stayed until today.

"Master, please sit down."

The four bearers smiled.

then.

Swish!
The four of them moved in unison, lifted the sedan chair in an instant, and after a few vertical leaps, they directly crossed a large street and disappeared into the distance.

Sitting in the sedan chair, Chen Mu couldn't help but nodded slightly as he watched the scene outside flickering rapidly.

After all, they are four seventh-rank warriors, and they are very precise in controlling their strength. Every time they jump and move, there is turning and dissipating force in it, which will not make the people in the sedan chair feel uncomfortable.

of course.

Even without these, he can still bear it. After all, his physical body is no longer the strength to bind a chicken, but has the realm of the seventh rank of martial arts.

The scene outside changed rapidly, and after a short while, he had crossed an unknown block and arrived in front of a very magnificent building.

Swish.

The sedan chair stopped and landed smoothly.

The bearer opened the curtain.

Chen Mu stepped out of the sedan chair, looked forward, and the first thing that came into view was a hovering golden dragon, which was tens of feet in length, as if looking up at the nine heavens and howling!
This golden dragon is a huge mountain stone carving, located in the front of the palace, a pair of dragon eyes are very powerful, with a little coercion, as if alive!
Usually, when Chen Guang lifts his feet up, he always stops here, so several porters are familiar with this place. Seeing Chen Mu staring at the golden dragon, one of them stepped forward and whispered:
"This dragon has been there since the founding of the Great Yuan Dynasty. There were three celestial masters in succession to make eye contact for it, so it is very magical. Ordinary people will be paralyzed just by standing here, and it is difficult to move forward."

"I see."

Chen Mu retracted his gaze and nodded slightly.

He did perceive three wills of different strengths and weaknesses from the golden dragon. According to the bearer's words, it seems that the strength and weakness are due to different ages, and the degree of weakening varies.

After all, the soul power of a second-grade sorcerer cannot last forever, and it will slowly fade with time.

"On the left is the Martial Temple, in the middle is the Imperial City, and on the right is Sitiantai. If you go there, someone should guide you. We can't go any further. We will wait here for your return."

Another bearer spoke softly.

Chen Mu stepped forward, bypassing the golden dragon in front of the imperial city, and walked towards Sitiantai.
