The first red sun slowly rose from the top of Chang'an City, and the warm sunshine shone on the ancient city.

Mother Li walked out of the thatched hut with the support of her maid Chun Cao, with an eager look on her face. Chun Cao saw Li Mu sitting cross-legged in the middle of the courtyard and said quickly: "Madam, it's not a dream. The young master is really here. He is here." Practice.”

When Li Mu heard the noise, he stood up and said, "Mom, you're awake."

"Mu'er." Li Mu came over, held Li Mu's hand tightly, and rubbed Li Mu's face for a while before a smile appeared on his face and said, "It's really my son. Mom thought that last night was a A dream.”

"Mom, don't worry. From today on, your son will never let you worry alone again." Li Mu was deeply touched. He held his mother's hand and promised word for word.

"Sister Chuncao, there is some food in the carriage. You take it to the house first. Someone will come to help us repair the house in a while. You take good care of my mother, and I will go out." Li Mu said to Chuncao again.

"Ah, Mu'er, you want to go out?" Mother Li held Li Mu's hand tightly, with an unconcealable panic in her tone.

Li Mu smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry, I'll go take the three sisters Dongxue, Qiuyi and Xia Ju home. I'll be back as soon as I go."

"But..." Mother Li was still a little hesitant. She knew what kind of forces those three maids were snatched away. They were all giants in Chang'an City. Li Mu said it easily. Those forces, Will you let these maids back so easily? In her heart, day and night, she was worried about these maids who were already like family members, but now she was even more worried about her son. After waiting for eight years, her son finally came back. She didn't want to taste the pain of losing her son again.

Spring Grass feels the same way.

When she first heard that Li Mu was going to pick up the other three sisters, she immediately felt extremely excited and expectant. But then she thought about the dangers involved, and she worried about Li Mu's safety.

Li Mu smiled and said: "Mom, Sister Chun Cao, don't worry, no one in Chang'an City can stop me yet, and I am not going out alone. My sect has sent dozens of great masters. The strong man will help me." He lied just to make the two women less worried.

"Mu'er, you just said someone came to repair our house. Who was it?" Mother Li asked again.

Li Mu smiled and said, "They are some friends, new friends."

"So, are we going to live in Chang'an City for a while?" Chun Cao said excitedly.

Li Mu nodded and said, "Yes, I will stay here for a while and wait until all my things are done before going to Taibai County."

After another explanation, Li Mu set off to leave.

The sun shines on the most dilapidated little courtyard at the end of the pig driving alley.

Some other households in the alley poked their heads out of the door, curiously popping their heads up and looking at the small courtyard. They had more or less seen some of the things that happened last night, so when they looked at the small courtyard, they , all with awe and curiosity.

Chuncao helped Mother Li sit down on the wooden chair next to her, and then went to pack the things in the carriage.

The moment she opened the carriage compartment, she let out an exclamation.

"Cao'er, what's wrong?" Mother Li asked quickly.

"A lot of meat, and Zhen Pinxuan's snacks..." Chun Cao's breathing was a little short.

The things in the carriage were all the best food ingredients from the major time-honored brands in Chang'an City. She had seen them before when she was still in the magistrate's mansion and she was the wife of the wife. Thinking about the deliciousness of these things, Chun Cao couldn't help but It's hard to swallow my saliva.

After all, she is only an eighteen-year-old girl.

It took a lot of effort for Chun Cao to take everything in the carriage into the thatched house and store it.

Then, amid the neighing of people and horses, about forty or fifty people walked in from the entrance of the pig alley.

Some of these people were riding horses, some were walking, and they were all wearing uniforms. They were all strong and strong, and they looked impressive. They were holding a carriage behind them. There was something unknown on the carriage, which was wrapped in canvas. , bulging, dozens of large carriages rushed in from the alley, directly filling the small alley that was not spacious.

The group of people all walked towards Mother Li's small courtyard.

Chuncao's expression became nervous, and she quickly came over to support Mother Li.

Under the gazes of the residents of Zhuzhu Lane and Mother Li, the group arrived at the entrance of the small courtyard.

A man whose whole face was covered in a shirt and hat, cupped his hands and said respectfully: "Old Madam, I am a friend of Mr. Li Mu. I came to repair the house. Please forgive me for disturbing the old Madam." This man is obviously the leader.

Others can't see his face clearly, but in fact, he is Zheng Cunjian.

He did not dare to neglect the matters arranged by Li Mu. After all, his life was still in Li Mu's hands.

It turned out that he was here to repair the house.

Mother Li and Chuncao breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Mu said this before he left.

"Please come in quickly," Mother Li said.

She was born into an aristocratic family. Although she has fallen into decline over the years, her etiquette in dealing with people is still there.

Zheng Cunjian nodded, but did not enter the courtyard in a hurry. Instead, he took out a jade token, held it in his hand, and cautiously took a few steps forward. Looking at the entire deserted small courtyard, streaks of brilliance suddenly rushed out from the ground. It passed by in a flash, and then the whole small courtyard seemed to give people a different feeling, missing a sense of distance, it seemed extremely far away, and it seemed very close at the same time.

Sure enough, there is a warlock formation.

Zheng Cunjian sighed secretly in his heart.

Last night, Li Mu gave him this jade sign and told him that if he wanted to enter the courtyard without a jade sign to guide him, he would die without a burial place.

The warlock's methods are truly terrifying.

How many stars of warlock is Li Mu, who can actually set up such a formation in this deserted little yard overnight?

The more Zheng Cunjian thought about it, the more afraid he became.

He did not dare to neglect, relying on the power of the jade tablet, commanding others, and smoothly unloaded all the building materials loaded on the carriage into the yard.

Stones, wood, grass and bamboo, as well as various construction tools, as well as some semi-finished buildings are displayed in front of people.

Construction started in full swing.

…

…

The Dafeng Chamber of Commerce was founded eighty years ago. It was initially a small chamber of commerce that barely managed to survive in Chang'an City. Later, with the help of nobles, it expanded rapidly and the chamber's power expanded. From a third-rate small chamber of commerce, it became one of the largest local chambers of commerce in Chang'an City. The leader is second only to the branch of the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce in Chang'an City, which has influence throughout the entire Chinese mainland.

The president of the Chamber of Commerce is named Zhou Dedao. He is less than fifty years old and is a smooth character who is good at dancing.

In the morning, Zhou Dedao was cleaning up the accounts of the Chamber of Commerce in the mansion.

This is what he likes to do most. Through the numbers on the ledger, he can feel the wonderful feeling of wealth being continuously collected in his hands.

Outside the accounting room, more than 20 martial arts masters recruited with large sums of money were fully armed and guarding.

When wealth reaches a certain level, it can generate huge energy, especially when combined with power, it will produce unimaginable chemical reactions. This is the case with Dafeng Chamber of Commerce, so it can recruit many martial arts masters to look after homes and homes. Rumor has it that the Zhou family has two master-level ministers in charge.

Zhou Dedao is short and fat, with a white face and no beard. He always wears a three-pointed smile on his face, like a rich man who is harmless to humans and animals.

He flipped through the account book with a faint smile on his face. Next to him, there were dozens of confidant accountants who had been hired at high prices. The abacus was crackling, and his luck was flying. The numbers were reported one by one, and the huge money empire of Dafeng Chamber of Commerce was reported. Every expenditure and income was presented to Zhou Dedao's ears and eyes.

Two beautiful young maids stood beside Zhou Dedao, gently shaking their feather fans.

Suddenly, there was a creak and the tightly closed door was pushed open.

A figure walked in.

Zhou Dedao showed a hint of displeasure. The accounting room was the most important place in the house. He had repeatedly ordered not to break in without notification, but how dare anyone dare to break the taboo?

He looked up.

Looking at it, he was stunned.

A short-haired young man with a slender figure and a heroic face walked in calmly.

"Who...are you?" Zhou Dedao asked in surprise.

He had never seen this young man who looked like a monk but not a monk before, and how could he break into the accounting room without making any movement.

"Oh? I'm not here. Sorry, I went to the wrong place." The young man looked casual, as if he was shopping. He glanced at the counting room, with a hint of disappointment on his face, and then turned around and left.

Zhou Dedao was stunned, then became furious and said, "Someone, stop him."

You broke into the accounting room without permission and you still want to leave?

Dozens of figures immediately poured out from all sides, all of them were masters of guarding the courtyard from Zhou Mansion. Their swords were unsheathed and they surrounded the young man.

Zhou Dedao strode out of the accounting room, stared at the young man, and said, "Tell me, who are you? How did you get in?"

The young man looked calm and said: "Don't be nervous, I just came to your house to find someone. When I find him, I will leave."

"Looking for someone?" Zhou Dedao was very angry: "You really sneaked in? How can this be reasonable, Teacher Wang, are you all dead? You were actually sneaked into the accountant's courtyard by an outsider without being noticed?" He couldn't help but feel angry, the accountant What an important place it is. He spent a lot of money to raise so many master nursing homes, but an outsider sneaked in at will. Doesn't this mean that if this young man wants to assassinate him, he may succeed?

Some of the nursing home experts were trembling with fear.

The man called Coach Wang was a middle-aged man in his thirties, with a tall body and a strong breath. He quickly said: "Master, calm down, I will take down this daring madman..."

The young man's eyes lit up before he could finish speaking: "Master?" He looked at Zhou Dedao and said, "Are you the president of the Dafeng Chamber of Commerce?"

Zhou Dedao snorted coldly: "So what, you broke into my accounting room without permission today, I..."

However, before he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly blurred.

Just like a ghost, the young man appeared next to Zhou Dedao. He put a hand on Zhou Dedao's shoulder and said, "That's great. You must be familiar with this house. I want to find someone named Xia Ju." Woman, please help me look for her. If you find her, I will let you go."

The young man is naturally Li Mu.

He came to Zhou Mansion to look for someone. After he came in, he realized that he had made a mistake in his plan. This Zhou Mansion was really too big, much bigger than he imagined. Looking for someone was like looking for a needle in a well. After searching for a long time, he couldn't find anything. Unable to find Xia Ju's whereabouts, she accidentally arrived at the accounting room.
