Chapter 512: Dark Guard

As soon as these words came out, at least half of the people panicked.

Seeing this, Li Mu secretly said in his heart, sure enough, he guessed.

He will find the clue, not that he knows the prophet or knows the secret of Wang Ou. But in the process of holding the ring, he noticed something strange.

The first is the number of people who sign up, and in the beginning, only a few people signed up. Li Mu probably guessed why, after all, people in the rivers and lakes, who haven't ordered a shelf yet, and the really famous people will definitely disdain to be the eagle dog of the court. So the initial expectation was that it would be enough for the time being to recruit sixteen people.

But then things turned out to be very unexpected. Not only is the number of applicants rising, but all of them are in the prime of life. If you ask about your family background, you are either an orphan, or your hometown is far away, in short, you can't find out the details, or the details are very clean. Looking at their attitudes again, one by one, the Hou Ye is called willingly, which is not the style of the children of the rivers and lakes at all.

This feeling is like that it is not Li Mu who is recruiting, but they are looking for jobs and interviews.

And in the ring, it is also unconventional to compare with each other, and it is really done to the point and stop, and never hurt people with heavy hands. You must know that the knife and gun have no eyes, and the situation of accidental injury is very normal for two people to compete, and it is very difficult to stop at the point. Those who can do it are either skilled in kung fu, or both sides are holding back.

The kung fu of these people, Li Mu asked Dugu Jiu, who is a good hand in the rivers and lakes, but he is not a master. Most of them, like Wei Fu, are very outstanding in a certain aspect, but they have obvious shortcomings in their comprehensive ability. It gives the impression that they are specially trained professionals. Use it for specialized things, and you don't have to worry about their abilities being too strong and breeding rebellion.

In other words, they are likely to be dead soldiers cultivated by a certain force.

Li Mu guessed this, but he didn't say anything. And there are two main reasons why he didn't make a statement.

First, he suspected that this group of people came from Li Shimin. This is a conclusion drawn from a reverse deduction, with the growth of the Internal Affairs Office, Li Mu tried to think, if he was Li Shimin, could he rest assured?

The answer is no, because the scope of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is really too broad. Basically, the function of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is a small imperial court. And there is a small court within the imperial court, and as an emperor, you can never rest assured.

At the same time, Li Mu found that among the subordinates in his mansion, there was at least one Li Shimin's eyeliner. Based on this information, Li Mu has reason to suspect that Li Shimin installed eyeliner in Jinyiwei after he decided to move to the valley and get rid of his eyeliner. In order to achieve the purpose of surveillance, and with so many good hands, what forces can be taken out at once? At least Li Mu didn't know, he once talked to Li Ji about the so-called dead soldiers. Li Ji told him that after Li Shimin ascended the throne, under his more or less hints, the number of dead soldiers raised by various prefectures was significantly reduced, and now in Chang'an City, the big guys know that the people who have the most dead soldiers are Cheng Yanjin and the other is the eldest grandson Wuji. But there were only about thirty or fifty people, and most of these people were still their former personal guards.

And in this ring competition, there are more than 60 people left after selection. With so many people, which force can take it out at will? At least Li Mu doesn't know, but if the person behind it is Li Shimin, it makes sense. He is the emperor, not to mention the dead, how many masters are there?

The second conjecture is a different way of thinking. Do these people have to be a force? It can't be multiple forces, such as five surnames and seven hopes?

There are more than 60 people in total, and each family has 10, which is still easy for a gate valve like five surnames and seven wangs. And they also have enough reasons to want to sneak into the internal affairs office, or to listen to the news, or to be an internal response, which is beneficial to them, and they will not suffer if they catch up with anyone.

No matter which possibility it was, Li Mu didn't want to make a noise. Because it is not good for him, Jinyiwei is an executive department, a yamen that implements the will of the internal affairs government. It has clear specifications, what can and cannot be done, and it is very clear. Even if these people are unreliable, as long as they can do things, their value is reflected. Whether it is Li Shimin's person or a person with five surnames and seven hopes, there is actually no difference.

As for being monitored, leaking news, etc., Li Mu actually doesn't care. The news of the Internal Affairs Office is all obvious matters, and even if he pays attention to precautions, it will inevitably be leaked. After all, in addition to Jinyiwei, there are nine yamen, and it is impossible for them to be all people who have the same heart as him, and the news will definitely be leaked, and they can't hide it if they want to. Moreover, Li Mu also intends to turn the Internal Affairs Office into a mysterious institution, and the role of the Internal Affairs Office is to link various functions, and the more transparent the better, the more beneficial it will be to him.

Li Mu took everyone's nervous expressions from the bottom of his eyes, and suddenly the corners of his mouth curled, and said, "Your intentions, Ben Hou has already guessed it." Don't let the carefree ranger do it, come to Chang'an City, and participate in this ring competition, just want to invest in Ben Hou's disciples, Bo a future, ask for a fame, and make contributions, Ben Hou is right? ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and said in their hearts, is there such a big pant and talking, this guy scares people, and his heart is about to jump out.

Wei Fu, as the head of the people sent by Wang Ou, also sat closer to Li Mu. Seeing everyone's reaction, I knew that I had to speak, otherwise I was afraid that I would show my feet. As soon as Li Mu's words fell, Wei Fu stood up and said, "Hou Ye guessed too accurately, I came here to defect to Hou Ye and have a future." Hou Ye's reputation has spread all over the rivers and lakes as early as possible, and we are all running for Hou Ye, the big guy said yes! ”

"Yes! Rushing to Hou Ye! ”

"Yes!"

Many people responded, Li Mu looked at Wei Fu's nervous and worried eyes, and felt very funny in his heart. Maybe his performance can fool everyone present. But for Li Mu, who was used to seeing all kinds of childcare in his previous life, this was too pediatric and too obvious.

Although Li Mu has always been shameless, his sense of confidence is bursting. But he is at least self-aware, if he says that in Chang'an City, his reputation is like thunder, he dares to admit it. But to say that he has a great reputation in the rivers and lakes, this is a bit nonsense. This kid is obviously lying.

Li Mu smiled and said, "You are coming to me, Ben Hou is very happy, and naturally I can't live up to your friendship." Therefore, in addition to the promised reward, Ben Hou also issued an invitation to you, if you are interested, you can come to Jinyiwei to do things for the Internal Affairs Office. ”

Wei Fu hurriedly wanted to stand up again, but Li Mu stopped him and said, "Don't hurry to agree, listen to Ben Hou." ”

Wei Fu had no choice but to sit down, and Li Mu continued: "I haven't hidden this matter, and the purpose of holding the ring competition is for this. You should have heard a little bit of the tone, but you don't know what the specific regulations are, including my brother, your future pacification envoy Dugu Jiu, he doesn't know. Because I haven't thought about it, today, Ben Hou finally made a decision, so I brought everyone here and told you about it. ”

"You should have all heard that the Jinyi Guard originally had a commander. He is also my brother, named Li Chongyi. This brother of mine......" Li Mu thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "What do you think of Dugu Jiu's skills?" ”

Everyone looked at each other, Li Mu looked at Wei Fu and asked, "What do you think of Dugu Jiu's skills?" ”

Wei Fu hurriedly stood up, bowed down and said: "Back to the words of the Hou Ye, the swordsmanship of the pacification envoy is superb, and the light skill is wonderful, and he is not the opponent of the pacification envoy below, and all of us here are not the opponents of the pacification envoy when they fight alone." ”

"Then let me ask you, if you bully the few, how many people will you have to capture him?"

Wei Fu looked around, thought for a while, and said, "If the Marquis asks me to capture the envoys, among the seats, I will choose eight, eight or nine...... Maybe it can be done, but if the pacifier wants to escape, we can't stop it. ”

Dugu Jiu chuckled lightly and did not speak. I don't know if it's approval or contempt.

Li Mu nodded and said, "You are a real person, but I can tell you this." If you don't sneak attack, a head-to-head duel, all of you here will not be my brother Li Chongyi's opponent together! ”

"Master Hou, this ...... Impossible! Wei Fu subconsciously said, whose kung fu is not practiced, although fighting alone is not Dugu Jiu's opponent, but if sixty people can't beat one person, it is somewhat contemptuous of people.

Li Mu said leisurely: "I haven't really fought, and I don't know who the final winner is." But I can briefly talk about my brother, my brother is two feet tall, born with divine power, and has two giant axes in his hands, each of which weighs sixty-four pounds. I also created a full-body armor for him, so that ordinary swords could not hurt him. The two giant axes can be connected by iron chains, covering a radius of ten meters, and you can weigh whether you can win him. ”

Wei Fu swallowed and spat, unable to say a word. If what Li Mu said is true, is this still a person? Make two axes, each sixty-four pounds? Ordinary swords, four catties are not light, sixty-four catties, and wield...... It's a little too scary.

"This brother of mine went to Chenla to do something very important for me. The five hundred brocade guards under his command are all from the tun guards, and they are the pawns who have been selected and chosen. If you go it alone, you may be able to win a little bit, but if you put yourself in a position, you will definitely not be their opponent. ”

"I also know that you are used to being free in the rivers and lakes, and it is too unkind to retrain you. Benhou doesn't do such things, so the errand for you is different from theirs. ”

Li Mu drank a glass of wine and continued: "Everything in the world, there is yin and yang, and there is day and night. Some things can be done during the day, some things must be done at night, some things can be done openly, and some things have to be done behind people's backs. Jin Yiwei is the same, he came clearly, and handed over the drastic thing to my brother Li Chongyi and his five hundred soldiers. And the matter of carrying people behind people's backs is handed over to my brother Dugu Jiu, you are like poisonous snakes in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to snoop, making all those who oppose the Internal Affairs Office panic. In case of trouble, it is necessary to be simple and decisive, without dragging mud and water, and the beginning and end must be clean and neat, without leaving any traces. ”

"Your identity, from now on, will be a secret. On weekdays, your identity is what you mentioned in the ring, and you are a member of various sects in the rivers and lakes. Only you know who you really are. ”

Hearing this, you may think that your identity has become a secret, and there is no future. Wrong, there is a future, and there are more rewards! ”

"I've devised a set of rules for promotion to make sure everyone has the same chance. In the future, the tasks assigned to you by Jinyiwei will be divided into different levels according to the difficulty of the task, and the value will be different according to the different difficulties. If you complete a mission, you will get a reward, and at the same time, it will be recorded and become your qualification. When you have enough qualifications, you can be promoted to a small banner, a general banner, or even a higher status. “

"One day, you will get tired of these days of fighting and killing. You can go back to your open life at any time, and the brocade guard will not disturb your life under normal circumstances. And when you are in trouble, Jinyiwei will also help you through the relationship of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Of course, everyone will not enjoy the same treatment, and the more you contribute to Jinyiwei, the more treatment you will enjoy. ”

"Money, power, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs can all be given to you, but all this must be exchanged for your own contributions. Jinyiwei doesn't have any requirements for you, only one thing, don't touch. ”

Li Mu glanced at everyone and said word by word: "If anyone leaks the task given to you by Jinyiwei, then he will ask for more blessings." Jin Yiwei has no mercy on leakers and betrayers. It is said that only the ability to pass through the gods, I Li Mu, or the Internal Affairs Office, nothing else, is a lot of money, if anyone thinks that their life is big, they can't buy it with money, although they can try. ”

If someone else said this, everyone would have heard it as a joke. Even if a person is rich, who would do such a thing? Spend a fortune on a ranger's head? Is it worth it?

But the person who said this was Li Mu, so no one doubted it. Because Li Mu is a madman, stunned, he has no logic to do things, and the things that ordinary people can't think of and dare not think about are exactly what he will do. If nothing else, will normal people be okay to scatter coins? He would.

From the opening of the Four Seas Gambling House to the present, Li Musa's money is more than 30,000 or 40,000 yuan. Legend has it that when you walk around the streets of Pingkangfang, you can occasionally deduct copper coins from the cracks in the blue bricks.

A person who has money to spend can't spend all the coins, and he says that he will take the money to buy a person's head, who would doubt it?

Everyone suddenly felt very stressed.

"That being said, if you really can't hold back and leak something, don't be afraid. It's okay not to show the stuffing, as long as Ben Hou doesn't know, it's fine. And Ben Hou is not the kind of unreasonable person, now you still have a choice, you can not join, eat the meat, drink it, don't get drunk today! ”
