Stunning beauty

into the night.

It was cold and windy.

Li Yuan, the inner courtyard.

Li Ziye sat in front of the stone table, drinking tea and thinking about things.

On the side, Hibiscus made tea quietly, without saying a word, not disturbing the thinking of those around her.

In the room not far away, Taotao was still checking the ledger day and night, so busy that she didn't even have time to drink tea.

The epitome of the entire Li family, each performing their duties, is fully displayed in the inner courtyard of Li Garden.

Only Hong Zhu, who had eaten and drank enough in the morning, went to bed. It is very reasonable to suffer hardships in the early years and enjoy the blessings now.

"Mujin, do you know much about the Shadow Guard?" After thinking for a long time, Li Ziye came back to his senses and asked.

"not much."

When Mu Jin heard the former's question, she shook her head lightly, and replied, "I've only heard a thing or two from the prince. There are ten teams of Shadow Guards, and His Majesty personally mobilized them. The captains of the ten teams are all five-level great practitioners. Moreover, each team has twelve shadow guards, whose strength is at least four-level, but among the ordinary shadow guards, there are also many who have reached the fifth level, and their strength is not inferior to ten captains."

"It is basically consistent with the information found by the Li family."

After listening to Mu Jin's answer, Li Ziye nodded and said, "Mu Jin, the Li family and the royal family are at odds, do you feel uncomfortable?"

"Have."

Mu Jin replied truthfully, "After all, the prince was born in the royal family, but since Mu Jin has inherited the prince's behest, he will be loyal to the young prince, even if he is facing the royal family."

Li Ziye picked up the tea, smiled slightly, and said, "Mujin, your honesty is very valuable, but unfortunately, you are not good at information, otherwise, I can rest assured that the Li family's information network is entrusted to you."

"Young master, I don't understand why you still don't trust that Yu Qingxuan?" Mu Jin asked suspiciously.

"One servant does not serve two masters."

Li Ziye said calmly, "No matter what the reason for betrayal is, no matter how high-sounding it is, it's all the same."

"Is that young master and Yu Qingxuan's acquaintance and acquaintance, are you just playing around?" Mu Jin asked puzzled.

"No."

Li Ziye shook his head and replied, "A friend is a friend. It does not involve interests or betrayal. There is no need to be so careful, and there is no need to play tricks every time. However, if she enters the Li family, she will touch many secrets of the Li family. For example, tonight Action, as a friend, I don't need to care about her past, but, as the helm of the Li family, I will not allow anyone to endanger the interests of the Li family."

"I see."

Mu Jin said thoughtfully, "Actually, the young master already has nine points of trust in Yu Qingxuan, but Yu Qingxuan has a disgraceful past, so he must show twelve points of loyalty in order for the young master to accept her."

"clever."

Li Ziye smiled and said, "Any trust is slowly built up amidst doubts, just like the acquaintance between me and the prince. At the beginning, I was wary of the prince, which was the highest level."

"Thank you, young master, for your trust." Mu Jin said softly.

"Need not."

Li Ziye smiled lightly, and replied, "My family, no thanks."

Having said that, Li Ziye paused, and continued, "In a few days, I will take you to meet an old man and let him teach you about martial arts."

"Ah."

Mu Jin nodded lightly, and replied, "It's definitely not easy for the young master to mention it on purpose."

"It's not inferior to the prince, but he's a bit old and his legs and feet are inconvenient. We can only find him."

Li Ziye took a sip of tea and said, "At that time, I will definitely give you a surprise."

"It's not enough to be frightened." Mu Jin said suddenly.

"Haha."

Hearing Mu Jin's sudden cold humor, Li Ziye laughed, and replied, "You may not know, you have seen it too, there is no normal person in the Li family, whether it is a surprise or a fright, we will know in due course."

Hearing this, Mu Jin pursed her lips and smiled lightly.

In the room not far away, Tao Tao heard the laughter outside, and a smile appeared on her soft face.

In order for Mu Jin to integrate into the Li family as soon as possible, the young master really took great pains.

It reminded her of herself back then.

Suddenly arriving in an unfamiliar environment with so many important people, it is inevitable that she will be cautious. If it weren't for the young master, it would be difficult for her to integrate into the Li family so quickly.

"Young master!"

While the two were chatting in the courtyard, a figure dressed in a black robe and covered with a black cloth appeared in front of the courtyard, took two steps forward, and saluted respectfully, "Captain of the ninth team, it has been dealt with, the twelve shadow guards, Seven dead, five wounded."

"Good job, have a cup of tea and take a break."

Hearing this, Li Ziye nodded slightly, took a new teacup, poured a cup of tea, and waved it out immediately.

The black-robed figure took the flying teacup, raised his arms, covered his face and drank the tea in one gulp.

"Little boy."

After a few breaths, a second black-robed figure appeared in front of the courtyard, stepped forward, and saluted respectfully, "The captain of the eighth team has dealt with it. Of the twelve shadow guards, eight died and four were injured."

"Drink tea."

In front of the stone table, Li Ziye poured his second cup of tea and waved it away.

The second black-robed figure took the teacup, covered his face and drank the tea.

Then, in front of the inner courtyard, a third black-robed figure appeared, and then, the fourth, fifth...

In less than an hour, in the inner courtyard, seven figures in black robes approached one after another, each of them covered their faces with black robes, and their faces and genders were unknown.

"Little boy."

At the last moment, in front of the courtyard, the eighth black-robed figure appeared, with half of his body stained with blood, and said in a weak tone, "The mission failed, the captain of the first team, whose strength is at the peak of the five realms, and his subordinates, failed to succeed."

"Tea, but only half a cup."

Li Ziye poured half a cup of tea and waved it out.

"Thank you, little boy."

The eighth black-robed figure took the teacup and drank the tea in it.

"Go back and rest."

After the eight people arrived, Li Ziye waved his hand and ordered, "Someone will deliver the healing medicine to you."

"Yes!"

The eight people took orders, and immediately their figures disappeared into the darkness.

"Such a powerful movement."

On the side, Mu Jin couldn't help but praise when he saw the eight people appearing and leaving without a sound.

"In a few days, there will be more powerful ones."

Li Ziye picked up the teacup, took another sip of tea, and said, "When they all learn the movement skills of the earth ghost, they will be more handy when performing tasks."

"It turns out that the young master saved the earth ghost for this reason." Mu Jin was stunned for a moment, but soon came back to her senses, and said with emotion.

"People do their job, and things make the best use of them."

Li Ziye said in a calm tone, "Mujin, the captain of the first team, what is his background? You can count the powerhouses at the peak of the five realms in this world with your fingers. Where did the royal family recruit such a master?"

"This position is usually a member of the royal family."

Mu Jin said in a concentrated voice, "I don't know who it is."

"Little boy."

While the two were talking, Tian Zhique appeared outside the inner courtyard, and saluted respectfully, "The captain of the first team, who has the Zhenshi Jue, is powerful, and none of his subordinates can kill him."

"No problem."

Li Ziye put down the teacup in his hand, and replied, "This information is enough, let him go on his way, sooner or later."
