Chapter 343 "Let her come by herself!"
Side room.
Li Mu leaned back in the bathtub, closed his eyes and thought.
The main purpose of returning to Donglai Pass this time was to help King Yan resolve the crisis of Ran Nu and find out why the Ran Nu people suddenly launched a large-scale invasion.
By the way, while I have made a contribution, I will hint at the matter of Yin Huanping.
But from what Zatu had said before, we learned that this matter was also related to the strategists.
Then this is not something Li Mu is willing to participate in.
In Li Mu's opinion, this kind of intrigue is the most troublesome thing, and getting involved in it will definitely be a waste of time.
The most urgent task at the moment is to improve our strength.
With the experience of fighting against Ran Nu's second-hand army formation, Li Mu felt more and more that the top combat power in this world could not be countered by just having more people.
Although Li Mu is unable to confront an army of tens of thousands head-on, running away is no problem at all.
Of course, there is another key point here, which is the blood prison of the military formation, which seems to have no effect on Li Mu.
Immediately, the last bit of thought of relying on Prince Yan to solve the Renzong’s troubles completely disappeared.
"What on earth is the old man thinking? Does he want me to marry Liu Mingyan? No...it's better to make this clear in advance."
Li Mu knew that the Prince of Yan had long planned to win over the Liu family.
But Liu Mingyan is different from others. She is the legitimate daughter of the Liu family. If she wants Li Mu to seduce her with her beauty, she must be the Crown Prince's Consort.
But in Li Mu's fish pond, there is another person with a more troublesome identity, Princess Yunhe Zhao Chuyi.
Emperor Hongwen, it is impossible for him to let his daughter be Li Mu's concubine...
Seeing that the Prince of Yan wanted to show goodwill to Liu Mingyan, Li Mu, for the sake of the Prince of Yan's face, vaguely agreed to the matter.
If you think about it carefully, it is obviously a trouble.
Especially when Li Mu realized that he helped Liu Mingyan to cheat, it seemed like he was trying to please them, but in fact he was offending the Liu family.
Even if Li Mu had no political acumen, he could see this clearly.
Besides, Liu Mingyan is a woman and it is impossible for her to inherit the Liu family in the future.
Even if Li Mu married her, the huge fortune of the Liu family would not fall into the hands of the Prince of Yan's Mansion.
The more Li Mu thought about it, the more headache he had. He thought to himself,
"What did Zhang Hanrui and the others eat to grow up?"
Just a little clue can tell you what others are thinking.
Fortunately, most women in this world are not jealous.
Otherwise, with Zhang Hanrui's brain, it would be difficult for Li Mu to have an affair with other girls.
Li Mu was thinking about all these random things. At this moment, his ears moved slightly, and he heard a creaking sound, and the door was pushed open from the outside.
The person who entered the room walked lightly, and was obviously a woman.
Li Mu frowned, thought for a moment, and then said in a gentle tone:
"If others blame you, just say it was my idea. Go down. You don't need anyone to serve you here."
However, when the woman at the door heard Li Mu's words, she paused for a moment, then quickened her pace and walked towards the bathtub.
Li Mu opened his eyes. Although he did not get angry directly, his face was full of displeasure. He turned his head, but was slightly stunned and said in astonishment:
"Xiao Yuanbao? You...what are you doing..."
Li Mu couldn't help but be surprised.
At this time, Yuanbao was standing barefoot in front of the bathtub, wearing only light pink silk pants on the lower body and a bright red bellyband with gold embroidered cloud patterns on the upper body.
Although this kind of dress was nothing before Li Mu traveled through time, in this world, it was no different from being naked.
Even the prostitutes in brothels would not dress like this to welcome guests.
There was a faint blush on Yuanbao's fair and smooth skin, and his tightly closed eyes were trembling slightly.
After hearing Li Mu's words, he didn't answer, but just stood there.
Li Mu knew it was Liu Mingyan who did it. He sighed slightly, turned around and stopped taking advantage of the little girl. He said:
"Miss Liu asked you to come?"
"It's okay, go back and tell her it was me who said it. If you want her to come, let her do it herself..."
Unexpectedly, before Li Mu could finish his words, he heard a splash in front of him, and water splashed all over Li Mu's face.
"Oh my god! For real!"
Li Mu's cheek twitched slightly. He glanced at Yuan Bao who was holding his breath in the water with his eyes closed. Then he turned his head to look at the silk pants and bellyband hanging on the shelf beside him. He couldn't help laughing.
"Good boy, you take it off so fast."
He immediately jumped out of the bathtub. Although he was a little reluctant, he still obediently put on his clothes.
If it had happened in the past, in such a situation where it was clearly a free gift, no matter what the other party's purpose was, Li Mu would definitely take advantage of it first and settle the score later.
But unfortunately, the practice of "Cang Feng Jue" is a passive skill, and Li Mu can't control it at all.
Even if Li Mu hadn't thought of hiding this thing on purpose, he didn't want to let everyone know about it just because he was impulsive.
It would be disastrous if someone really treated it as a cauldron.
Li Mu couldn't guarantee whether there were any hidden masters in this world.
In order to achieve a breakthrough and capture him back, Li Mu didn't want to experience such a sunset.
Besides, if the other person is an old man, I would also like to try...
Thinking of this, Li Mu couldn't help but shudder, feeling a chill in his heart.
"Your Highness, did Yuan Bao do something wrong?"
At this time, Yuanbao's voice came from the bathtub.
Hearing the sound, he saw Yuanbao in the bathtub had floated his head out of the water at some point. The look in his eyes when he looked at Li Mu was shy, apprehensive, but more of cowardly and confused.
Li Mu just took a glance and quickly looked away.
The water in the tub was fairly clear, and with Li Mu's sharp eyesight, even though it was just a quick glance, he was able to see most of what he should and shouldn't have seen.
"Little girl, you may look weak and fragile, but you actually have a lot of potential."
Li Mu coughed lightly, and the words he wanted to scold him with turned into gentle persuasion:
"Yuanbao shouldn't degrade himself like this... Oh, forget it, take care of yourself, little Yuanbao."
Li Mu originally wanted to say something like "one should have his own identity and should not blindly listen to Liu Mingyan's words", or some other chicken soup.
But when I think about it, this is how the world is. If the master tells me to do something, there is no reason for me to disobey. After thinking about it, I decide not to do this thankless task.
After saying that, he walked towards the door.
Unexpectedly, when passing by the bathtub, Yuan Bao suddenly stood up, grabbed Li Mu's sleeve, and seemed to have made a major decision. He said,
"Your Highness doesn't think highly of Yuan Bao at all. His previous kindness to Yuan Bao was only to fight with Miss."
"Yuanbao... Yuanbao is not stupid, he knew it from the beginning..."
"This little girl..."
Li Mu frowned slightly, realizing that he seemed to have gone a little too far.
At the beginning, he did just as Yuanbao said, he just wanted to see what Liu Mingyan was trying to do and disgust her at the same time.
It was only later that I discovered that this little girl was cute and likable, and gradually developed some affection for her.
A hint of guilt flashed across Li Mu's eyes. He turned his head subconsciously and was stunned again. His forehead was suddenly filled with black lines.
Only then did he react,
"That's not right! I feel like I've been PUA'd by this little girl! You're obviously unwilling, I'm just being respectful, okay..."
Then, he put his arms around Yuanbao's waist, exerted a little force, lifted her up from the bathtub, and turned to walk towards the bed.
Yuanbao was still feeling sad and didn't react to Li Mu's actions at all.
When I came to my senses, I was already lying on the bed, looking up slightly.
The deep, ink-black eyes in front of him were so close that he could even feel the hot breath of Li Mu.
Her heart instantly rose to her throat and she wanted to escape, but it was as if she was under a spell and could not move at all.
He had no choice but to close his eyes tightly, and didn't even notice the nails digging into his flesh through his clenched fists.
