I want to be innocent, but they don't allow me

Chapter 39: Master’s last words: Find a good person to marry?

"What kind of iron is black iron?"

Su Yuwei looked at Li Mu in confusion, as if a big question mark was written on her face.

"This, never mind. It's just a heavy sword. It's longer than an ordinary sword, and it's very heavy. I don't know how to describe it."

Li Mu suddenly realized that he had no idea what "black iron" was. He just blurted it out subconsciously when he picked up the heavy sword, and then he made a few rough gestures with his hands, hoping that Su Yuwei could understand what he meant.

Su Yuwei frowned her beautiful eyebrows and tried hard to find the heavy sword that Li Mu mentioned in her mind.

Li Mu saw Su Yuwei's expression, thought about it for a moment, and then felt relieved.

"That's right. The design of the heavy sword seems to be useless. Without a sharp blade, it's not as good as Ying Yu's pair of hammers in terms of striking power."

Just when Li Mu was about to give up this idea, Xiao Zhao beside him suddenly spoke:

"What the young master wants, could it be the waning moon?"

Li Mu looked at Xiao Zhao suspiciously and asked tentatively:

"What waning moon?"

Xiao Zhao pursed her lips and spoke uncertainly.

"Actually, Xiao Zhao doesn't know either. I just heard the prince talk about a sword that is very similar to the one you described."

Li Mu raised his head and thought about it, then gave up the idea.

"Zang Yue, just from the name, it's clear that this is no ordinary weapon."

"Forget it, let's not think about it. Is there a blacksmith in the city?"

Hearing this, Xiao Zhao stopped reminiscing and quickly replied:

"Yes, sir, do you want to make a sword? Xiao Zhao will go and call someone."

Li Mu waved his hand.

"No, I want to go out for a walk."

Xiao Zhao looked a little conflicted, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.

Li Mu looked at Xiao Zhao's expression and immediately understood what she was thinking. He spoke helplessly.

"Okay, I'll go talk to Ling'er."

After saying that, he stretched, stood up and walked out of the house.

"I will go with you."

At this time, Su Yuwei's voice came from behind.

Li Mu looked back and saw Su Yuwei also stood up, staring at Li Mu with burning eyes, as if to say, you have to take her with you whether you want to or not.

At this time, Xiao Zhao beside him also spoke weakly,

"Xiao Zhao also wants to follow you, Master."

Hearing this, Li Mu shrugged.

"I didn't say I wouldn't take you with me. If you want to go, come along. It's just a stroll, but you're making it feel like you're on a battlefield."

Xiao Zhao's face lit up with joy, he jumped up from the stool, and ran out the door without looking back.

"Sir, wait a moment. Xiao Zhao is preparing the carriage."

When Xiao Zhao's footsteps faded away, Su Yuwei looked at Li Mu in confusion and asked,

"You don't seem to worry about anything. Have you forgotten about the Lin family?"

Li Mu tilted his head and thought for a while, then said uncertainly:

"I got up this morning and read Xiao Wu's fortune. It's a good omen! If something happens in the palace, Xiao Wu will be fine. Don't think too much. Go out and get some fresh air."

"Then you can calculate it for me too."

Su Yuwei rolled her eyes at Li Mu and said provocatively.

"Okay, I'll calculate for you whether my first child will be a boy or a girl."

"Didn't you say you would calculate it for me? What's the matter?"

Halfway through the conversation, Su Yuwei suddenly reacted, her face slightly red, but her momentum did not show any weakness, she raised her hand to grab Li Mu's face.

After a while of fighting, the two of them left Prince Yan's Mansion.

Afterwards, Li Mu and the two girls got on the carriage together.

Along the way, Li Mu leaned against the car window, looking out.

Looking at the shops along the way, many of them were closed, and I sighed inwardly.

"Life is indeed not easy in this chaotic era."

There was no conversation along the way. The carriage ran for an hour before finally reaching the destination.

The three of them stood in front of a simple-looking blacksmith shop.

Li Mu looked around and found that many shops here were also closed. He felt inexplicably depressed.

"Sir, the conditions in the outer city cannot be compared with those in the inner city. Master Yi's craftsmanship is well-known throughout Yanshan City."

Xiao Zhao thought that Li Mu disliked the simple nature of the blacksmith shop, so she explained to Li Mu in a low voice.

Li Mu shook his head and without saying much, led the two girls towards the Blacksmith's Court.

The person who came forward to greet us was a middle-aged man with a kind face and strong build.

Seeing what Li Mu and the other two were wearing, the boss became noticeably more enthusiastic.

The blacksmith shop usually takes on jobs involving making farm tools and utensils.

After hearing Li Mu's needs, the boss looked obviously excited about receiving a big order. He didn't look cold and stern towards Li Mu and others just because he was proud of his craftsmanship.

It didn't take much time for Xiao Zhao to arrange everything and left Blacksmith Village with Li Mu.

Li Mu was sighing. He had finally gotten out of the palace, but now he had to go back again. He felt a little regretful.

I only heard Xiao Zhao complaining on the side.

"Really? Why is it closed today for no reason?"

Li Mu turned back to look at Xiao Zhao, and seeing Xiao Zhao looking at a shop next to the blacksmith shop, he began to comfort her.

"It's a chaotic time. It's normal that we can't buy anything tomorrow. Xiao Zhao, let's go to the inner city to have a look. Anyway, I don't want to go back so soon."

Hearing this, Xiao Zhao was stunned and answered in confusion,

"No need. In fact, Xiao Zhao can make sword tassels herself. I'm just afraid that Xiao Zhao's needlework is not good enough and the young master will dislike it."

Li Mu smiled and rubbed Xiao Zhao's head.

"As long as it's made by Xiao Zhao, I like it."

Feeling the big hand on his head, Xiao Zhao lowered his head shyly, and then seemed to remember something, looked at Li Mu with a struggling expression, and said carefully:

"You'd better not let Miss Three hear what you just said, otherwise Miss Three will definitely be angry."

Li Mu withdrew his hand and looked at Xiao Zhao in confusion. Just as he was about to ask, he heard Su Yuwei's laughter from the side.

"I didn't expect to hear these words from the second son of Prince Yan's Mansion. If Prince Yan knew that Yanshan City, which he had worked so hard to govern, was described by his own son as 'a chaotic war', I wonder what his expression would be."

"That's right, sir. Under the prince's rule, Yanshan City is pretty good, even if it's not as good as the capital. At least everyone has food to eat."

Xiao Zhao also nodded in agreement, signaling to her master not to let others hear what he said before.

Li Mu pursed his lips and didn't want to argue, but seeing Xiao Zhao's serious expression, he started to explain.

"I mean, the Ran slaves are not going to attack. Look, so many shops are closed."

Before he could finish his words, Su Yuwei beside him burst out laughing.

"What are you talking about? It's ok for Ran Nu to harass the people at the border, but how can he possibly break into Yanshan City?"

As he said that, he walked over to Li Mu and patted him on the shoulder.

"There are 200,000 Xingchao soldiers at the border, and Ran Nu, including women and children, is less than 100,000. You, the second son of the Prince of Yan's Mansion and the future Prince of Yan, don't need to be so cautious."

"Wait, you said before that the Lin family and the Ran slaves were in collusion."

Li Mu was a little confused for a moment and asked.

"What I know is this: the Lin family wants to delay the army's food supplies, and then attack the Prince of Yan's Mansion with the Rannu master."

"Yes, yes, if Rannu's military strength is limited to this, then what is it for?"

Li Mu was somewhat incoherent, muttering to himself, then suddenly looked up at Su Yuwei,

"Zonghengjia, yes, what is your purpose of coming down the mountain?"

Su Yuwei was a little nervous when she saw Li Mu suddenly staring at her, and she stuttered:

"Before my master died, he asked me to manage the power of Jing'an City well. If possible, I will accept another apprentice. If that doesn't work, then, then."

Halfway through her speech, Su Yuwei's face turned slightly red, her voice became smaller and smaller, and finally she gritted her teeth and said:

"If it doesn't work out, just find a good person to marry."

Hearing this, Li Mu mourned for Su Yuwei's master. Having such a love-brained disciple, he probably knew what kind of person his disciple was. No wonder he told her to "find a good person to marry."

Li Mu complained in his heart, but he didn't say anything. He just laughed dryly twice and was about to say something like, "Your master is right." Then his mind trembled, his face turned ugly, and he cursed subconsciously:

"Oh my god! I was completely led astray by Li Ling'er!"
