Chapter 97 Regretting Being Too Kind in the Past

Save him, please. No matter what the price is, or what kind of herb you need, just tell me. Ill sort it out. Li Mu stated resolutely.

Er all I can promise is Ill do my best. pledged the doctor through gritted teeth.

Li Mu heaved a sigh, aware of the bossiness in his tone.

Few things in the world were under the absolute control of human beings.

The doctor, after all, had no power of God, so he certainly could not guarantee a successful treatment.

Li Mu appreciatively patted the doctor on the shoulder and said in a softer tone, Well then, you are the most excellent doctor in our Taibai County, and the folks call you the Living Buddha. I have faith in you. You definitely can bring him back. Just do the best you can. If it truly gets too well, I wont blame you. So, there is no pressure.

The doctor nodded gratefully.

After Li Mu finished his words with the doctor, he stalked down to Li Bing, who was screaming at the top of his voice like a pig about to be slaughtered.

Li Mu looked down at this coward.

Don-don-dont! Im sorry! Dont kill me, please I dont want to die. Li Bing stammered, convulsing with fear.

Li Mu scowled at him as if he just saw a piece of shit. Then, he said with deep loathing, Relax, Im not going to kill you

The terror on Li Bings face alleviated a little.

But Li Mu opened his mouth to speak again. This time, his voice was chilling as the Death. Ill keep you alive and let Feng Yuanxing, Ma Junwu, and Zhen Meng return the favor you did to them! When the role is reversed, you will have a taste of what is called TO LIVE IS NO BETTER THAN TO DIE! He said slowly, emphasizing each syllable of the last words.

Li Bing instantly went turned petrified.

He began to foam at the mouth and then fainted due to fright.

Guards, carry Secretary Feng and the other two to the Medical Center. Li Mu commanded.

The guards quickly hoisted the three beds and started to head for the outside.

Your Honor, Your Hour Feng Yuanxing moaned weakly, who unexpectedly struggled to get up and gazed at Li Mu. Let let us come to the county office with you We want to face them together with you We

Zhen Meng also pleaded, If Your Honor is defeated, we we have no reason to be spared. We shall come with you

Li Mu deliberated it for a moment and found it was a good idea.

He reckoned they might be consoled on the spiritual level if they witnessed how he bashed up the culprits with their own eyes.

But he shot a hesitant look at that doctor.

The doctor understood Li Mus concerns. After giving it a thought, he hinted, Weve applied some medicine on their cuts and stopped them from bleeding. Theyre in no danger for now. Going to the county office wont hurt.

Li Mu turned and looked at Feng Yuanxing and Meng Zheng before saying, Alright, lets go together.

He also pointed at the unconscious and ordered, Take this scumbag playing dead over there, too.

Thus, the crowd filed out of the prison.

But just as they arrived at the exit, Li Mu halted in his track.

The guards also stopped dead nervously and peeked at the outside with great horror.

On the other side of the door, lines of soldiers in black armor were waiting for them. Their arrows were fitted to the strings. Their spears already stuck forward and formed a forest of blades. Their broadswords were also drawn, revealing their chilling edge. In the cold sunrise of the twin suns, those cold metallic weapons were issuing a deadly aura. Everyone knew that once the soldiers attacked at the word of command, this place would instantly be filled with flying arrows stained by thick blood and broken limbs.

They felt the air suddenly frozen.

At the middle spot in front of all the black-armored soldiers stood a spindly young man who was flanked by two deputy generals.

The young mans expression was rather bone-chilling. At the sight of the crowd appearing from behind the door, he squinted like a wolf ready to attack its prey. The official uniform he was wearing made Li Mu realize that he was the new Dianshi janitor the Changan government dispatched to Taibai County.

Li Mu? That young man sneered, How dare you break into the county prison and attempted to release those on the death penalty? Do you plead guilty?

Li Mu looked over his shoulder and asked a guard beside him, Is it him that cut off Ma Junwus arm?

He had already learned the rough story from those prison guards.

All the prison guards paled immediately. None of them answered because they were too afraid of getting involved in the conflicts between the high-level officials.

Your Honor, I was told that it is him, the new Dianshi janitor named Ning Zhongshan.

A young prison guard, whose face turned red, replied out loud after a short period of hesitation. He was Zhen Meng s brother-in-law, a trusted helper Zhen Meng positioned in the county prison. When he saw the miserable state Zhen Meng was in, he was infuriated. Therefore, he clenched his fists and chose to side with Li Mu, even though that was highly risky.

Li Mu nodded curtly.

Hahaha, its said that Ma Junwu is your archery teacher? The tall and lanky Ning Zhongshan showed a provoking smile on his face and continued, Ma Junwu has tried to assassinate Mr. Zheng in the meeting hall of the county government. Thats an unforgivable crime. As the newly-appointed Dianshi janitor in Taibai County, I have every reason to punish him. Hacking off one of his arms is already a quite lenient gesture

But before he could finish that sentence, a flash of light zoomed through the crowd.

Everyone was momentarily dazzled.

Ning Zhongshan suddenly felt an overwhelming force flooded towards him. And then
