I made the villain right.

After Li Muci thought calmly, his eyes were slightly dazed. There were some questions he hadn't figured out, so he expressed his confusion.

"Dad, I don't understand how the Sky-shaking Thunder can be related to the survival of our clan? The Sky-shaking Thunder has always been refined and controlled by the royal family. It is a royal item. If Qin Yixian investigates, he will only suspect the royal family. What's more, the person who used the Sky-shaking Thunder was Fan Hua, a man of the underworld. Fengyun Pavilion has always been mysterious. No one else knows whether they can refine the Sky-shaking Thunder, so how could they suspect us?"

Li Zhi's expression did not ease after hearing this. Instead, his brows slightly frowned, and the color in his eyes was unclear. He sighed, "This is also my fault. I was unable to explain some things to you earlier."

Li Muci heard this and saw that Li Zhi's expression suddenly darkened. He realized that things might not be that simple. He sat up straight in an instant, with a hint of nervousness in his eyes, "Dad, what on earth did you not tell me?"

A complex expression flashed across Li Zhi's eyes. "The Sky-shaking Thunder was not originally a thing unique to the royal family, but it belonged to my Li family's ancestors..."

Li Zhi told Li Muci the details. It turned out that several years ago, the Thunderbolt was made by Li's ancestor, who used it to help Emperor Taizong Xuqian expand his territory. He made outstanding military achievements and was named the General Guarding the Country.

The power of the Sky-shaking Thunder is immense, and it is only in the hands of the Li family. Emperor Taizong was afraid of the Li family's power and their intention to rebel, so he strictly prohibited the use of this item on the grounds that it would cause great harm to the people. It was not allowed to be passed on to future generations. All the methods of refining the Sky-shaking Thunder were burned, and anyone who participated in refining the Sky-shaking Thunder was executed as a warning.

Emperor Taizong escaped death because of the life-and-death friendship between him and Li's ancestor. In order to preserve the Li bloodline, Li's ancestor withdrew from the court and lived in seclusion, no longer involving himself in power disputes.

After Emperor Taizong passed away, foreign enemies invaded and the new emperor Xubo succeeded to the throne. In order to protect national peace, he found the method of refining the Thunder Thunder from the secret text of the previous emperor and put it into use again.

At the same time, in order to stop the gossips of the world, the new emperor Xu Bo reused the Li family and made a rule that the refining method would only be granted to the royal descendants, managed by the royal family, and only used to defend against external enemies and in special circumstances.

Gradually, people only remembered that the Thunder Bomb was a property exclusively owned by the royal family.

Today, Thunder of the Sky is controlled by an old prince in the royal family. The old prince's name is Xuhua and he currently lives in Liangzhou City, which is the base of Thunder of the Sky.

"In order to protect the safety of our clan members, our Li clan members have sworn to never privately refine or use thunder bombs. However, your aunt was born with a rebellious nature. She accidentally found a book that recorded the method of refining thunder bombs in your grandfather's study, and she secretly refined it."

Li Zhi paused for a moment, as if he was considering his words, and continued, "It is not easy to refine the Thunderbolt. Most people have a low chance of success, but she is very talented and loves to study all kinds of new things. She actually succeeded in refining it. She knows the pros and cons of the Thunderbolt, so after refining it successfully, she just kept it and did not use it."

Li Zhi thought for a moment, "Qin Yixian is very suspicious. If he investigates this matter, he will definitely suspect my Li family."

After listening to Li Zhi's narration, Li Muci had a complicated expression and a strong sense of self-blame surged in his heart.

"It was my son who took the initiative to lend out the Thunder Bomb. Please punish me, father."

After he finished speaking, Li Zhi saw Li Muci kneeling on the ground with his head down, looking guilty. He sighed, reached out his hand to help him up, and said earnestly: "Get up, this can't be entirely your fault."

Li Zhi's eyes became deep. "If Qin Yixian asks us, we will pretend we know nothing. Without evidence, he can't do anything to us for the time being."

Li Zhi glanced at Li Muci, thinking about something in his heart. After thinking for a moment, he finally made up his mind and said, "Muci, let them leave early tomorrow morning."

Li Muci is a man who values ​​friendship and loyalty. He is determined to help Shi Jin. When he sees Li Zhi trying to drive Shi Jin and the others away, he is stunned.

"Dad, the little fairy is my friend. They are seriously injured now. If you drive them away now, you will force them into a dead end."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhi's face became solemn and he said in a serious voice: "Mu Ci, you have done your best to show your friendship by keeping them here today. We can't gamble with the lives of our family members!"

Li Muci was stunned when he heard this, and his face was very embarrassed. He pleaded again, "Dad, this place is relatively hidden and the imperial guards won't find any clues for the time being. Let them stay for a few more days until their injuries get better and then leave. What do you think?"

Li Zhi's face turned stern, and he said resolutely: "I have made up my mind, no need to say more"

Seeing his father so determined, Li Muci opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing. However, a firm idea had already sprouted in his mind.

Seeing that Li Muci stopped trying to persuade him, Li Zhi thought that he had accepted it. Unexpectedly, Li Muci looked at him firmly and said, "Dad, I have made up my mind about this matter."

Hearing this, Li Zhi's face suddenly turned cold, anger ignited in his heart, and he shouted: "Rebellious son!"

"Why are you here?" Suddenly a voice came from outside the door, instantly interrupting the quarrel between Li's father and son.

Li Muci and Li Zhi looked up when they heard the sound, and saw a thug standing at the door holding a piece of clothing, and Fan Hua was standing next to him.

Li Zhi's eyes darkened, and a hint of murderous intent flashed across his eyes. When did he come? How much did he hear about the conversation just now?

Fan Hua was discovered eavesdropping, but he did not feel embarrassed. He walked into the house with a frank look, looked at the Li father and son, and a faint smile appeared on his face, "I came to talk to the Marquis about something."

While he was looking after Shi Jin in the secret room, he pondered for a moment and then went to the main hall, wanting to find Li Zhi to clarify some things, but he overheard their conversation inadvertently. He did not disturb them, but instead listened in the corner for a while.

Li Zhi's eyes passed by Fan Hua and stopped at the thug, "What's the matter?"

The thug glanced at Li Zhi, then lowered his head and said to Li Muci, "My lord, I have prepared the clothes. May I ask where do you want to put them?"

Li Muci took the tray from his hand, put it on the table, and waved his hand, "You can go down."

The thugs heard this and retreated immediately.

At this time, Li Zhi's eyes were focused on Fan Hua, with a hint of danger in his eyes, and he deliberately asked: "What did you hear?"

After Li Zhi finished speaking, Fan Hua looked into Li Zhi's eyes fearlessly and said calmly, "I probably heard everything I should and shouldn't have heard."

He was gambling, gambling that Li Zhi could, out of the illusory family affection, pull him to stand on the same side with him. He was not very sure before going, but now he is somewhat sure.

Li Muci's face changed when he heard this, and he looked at Fan Hua as if he was a madman. It was obvious that Fan Hua was looking for death by saying this at this time.

Seeing Fan Hua being so frank and calm, Li Zhi was surprised. Then he sneered, his eyes were deep, "Should I say that you are honest, or that you don't take me, the Marquis, seriously at all?"

After Li Muci realized Li Zhi's murderous intention, he hurriedly tried to smooth things over. He immediately stepped forward, touched his forehead, and said anxiously: "I think your injury triggered a fever, and your brain is confused. You should go downstairs and recuperate as soon as possible."

After saying that, he pushed Fanhua out, fearing that his father would kill Fanhua in the next second. Fanhua probably couldn't deal with his father in his current body.

Li Zhi felt that Li Muci's presence was a hindrance, so he quickly shouted outside: "Come here, take the prince away, and don't let him in without my order."

Guard captain Lu Ming was just walking towards this side and wanted to report the situation. Upon hearing this, he hurried into the house and wanted to capture Li Muci.

Li Muci dodged swiftly and avoided Lu Ming's attack. He glared at Lu Ming and said, "Don't touch me!"

However, Li Muci had no idea that his action was seen by Fan Hua, exposing his hidden secret.

When Fan Hua saw Li Muci's agile skills, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

Li Muci is a martial artist, and his strength is not low. The man looked extraordinary, but Li Muci easily avoided his attack, which shows that his strength is not inferior to his, and may even be higher than his.

Seeing that he couldn't capture Li Muci, Lu Ming showed a bit of helplessness on his face. He suddenly stopped what he was doing and looked in the direction of Li Zhi. "My Lord, I am incompetent and can't capture the prince. How about you do it?"

Ok?

Li Muci's face changed when he heard this, and he turned to look at Li Zhi, wanting to see how he would react. Unexpectedly, when he was not paying attention, Lu Ming suddenly pressed on his acupoint, and he was instantly unable to move.

"Prince, I'm sorry," Lu Ming said, and immediately carried him out the door.

Li Muci glared at Lu Ming and cursed, "Lu Ming, who do you belong to? Let me go right now!"

"I'm sorry, Prince. You have now taken a back seat in front of the master of the family, and the orders you issued are temporarily ineffective."

Hmm! Li Muci was shocked.

Li Muci saw that he was powerless to resist, so he could only let Lu Ming carry him away. When he left, he looked back at Li Zhi and kept reminding him, "Dad, let's talk it out, don't fight."

When Fan Hua saw Li Muci protecting him like this, he felt a strange feeling in his heart.

Seems a little flattered?
