Li Xun found his aunt Li Yi and expressed his thoughts.

"Bring this jade pendant to Duke Mu."

Li Yi took out a jade pendant from his arms with the word "Jing Chun" engraved on it.

Li Xun asked in confusion: "Aunt, is this necessary?"

Li Xun understood what Li Yi meant and was afraid that Duke Mu would not come out.

Li Yi said softly: "Don't be too smart. After Mu Gong was expelled from the palace, it wasn't that no one wanted him to return. He also did something. It's not that Mu Gong couldn't come back, but that he didn't want to."

Li Xun remained silent, took the jade pendant, and went to the imperial mausoleum.

Sure enough, as Li Yi said, Li Xun tried to persuade him several times, but Mu Gong just refused. It was not until he took out the jade pendant that Mu Gong remained silent. He held the jade pendant and remained silent for a long time.

"I'm old."

Duke Mu sighed and said, "Go back and tell Concubine Li that I will repay you for your kindness back then."

Li Xun said nothing more, bowed deeply with his hands, and left.

At night, Zhao Zhi held a banquet to entertain everyone. After the banquet, Li Xun asked to see him, told him the story of his visit to Duke Mu, and asked for his mercy.

Zhao Zhi remained silent until Li Yi said from the side: "Mr. Mu is old."

Zhao Zhi's expression changed and he sighed: "We are all old."

On the same day, Li Xun went to the imperial mausoleum again and brought Duke Mu back.

"Li Xun, what have you been doing these days? I haven't seen you anywhere."

Li Xun had just brought Mu Gong back. In the main hall, the master and servant had been separated for many days, and they were reminiscing about old times.

Li Xun looked at Zhang Jin and said with a smile: "Aren't you guarding outside? Why did you come here?"

Sun Wuyang, the general of the Yulin Guard, was responsible for Zhao Zhi's travel safety. Zhang Jin, as the left general of the Yulin Guard, naturally followed him.

Zhang Jin stepped forward, put his arm around Li Xun's shoulders, and said with a smile: "My father-in-law asked me to come here to be closer to the emperor. Maybe I have something to ask, and I can get close to you."

Li Xun laughed loudly. Zhang Jin was indeed an interesting person. People said he was smooth, but at least he was quite sincere towards himself.

Li Xun also hugged Zhang Jin and whispered: "The emperor is reminiscing with Duke Mu, and I'm afraid it won't end for a while. You'd better go back and rest early."

Zhang Jin's expression changed: "Brother Gou'er, wasn't Duke Mu sent to the imperial mausoleum? Why did he come back suddenly?"

Li Xun chuckled and said, "Of course I took it back."

Zhang Jin looked at Li Xun and said in a low voice: "Mr. Mu is back, and you feel a lot more relaxed."

Zhang Jinshicheng and Li Xun didn't hide it, and said bluntly: "It's not like you don't know my situation. If the emperor doesn't have anyone to talk to, I'll be in trouble."

"Okay, you stay here and I'll go back to rest."

Unexpectedly, Li Xun was so sincere. Zhang Jin raised his head and laughed, patted Li Xun on the shoulder, and then walked away.

They kept watch until midnight, but Mu Gong did not come out. However, my aunt Li Yi came out first.

"Go back and rest."

Li Xun chuckled and said, "The two of them have something to say."

Li Yi smiled, the two chatted for a few words, and then left.

While walking on the road, I met Gu Benchao.

Li Xun was surprised and said: "What the hell did you get from this?"

Gu Benchao chuckled and said, "Mother, I haven't been feeling well lately. I didn't plan to come here at first. Today I feel better, so I came here to relax."

Several figures flashed past, Li Xun's eyes flashed, he smiled, and hugged Gu Benchao: "Let's go, it's okay now. You and I can find a place to have a drink."

Gu Benchao laughed loudly: "I just came to drink with you."

Li Xun and Gu Benchao put their arms around their shoulders and walked forward laughing.

A ray of cold light pierced the dark night.

"careful."

Li Xun didn't react at all, but Gu Benchao reacted immediately and pushed Li Xun away.

But it was still a little late.

ah!

Li Xun screamed, and a deep wound was cut on his shoulder.

"A bold thief, would you dare to commit murder in the presence of the Emperor?"

Gu Benchao was frightened and roared angrily. Fortunately, he was armed, drew his sword, and went to meet him.

Two assassins fought with Gu Benchao.

Li Xun was left alone and was about to leave when another cold light flashed and an arrow pierced the night. As Li Xun was running, blood burst out and he screamed. He was hit in the chest and collapsed to the ground.

"You are seeking death."
