Chapter 470: The Tao is Different
Chapter 470
Matsujo, the castle lord's mansion, late at night.
A black-robed man quietly sneaked into the City Lord's Mansion and came to the outside of City Lord Li Mugong's study.
He knocked lightly on the door, and the next moment he rose into the air, took a few steps on the rooftop, and soon disappeared into the night.
Li Mugong walked out of the study, squinted his eyes and looked at the black shadow in the distance that blended with the night, and chased after him the next moment.
Five hundred miles outside the city, somewhere in a secluded wilderness.
When Li Mugong chased here, he saw that the black-robed man was waiting for him.
Li Mugong looked at the other party expressionlessly and did not take the lead in speaking. new
The black-robed man slowly spoke:
"City Lord Li, introduce yourself, my name is Liang Ce."
Li Mugong snorted coldly, "I don't care who you are, just say, find me something."
The corners of Liang Ce's mouth turned up slightly, and in the dark, there was a smile in his voice:
"I came to find City Lord Li to show you a clear way."
Li Mugong said "hehe", "I am the city lord of Songcheng, and my future is bright, do I need you to show me the way?"
Liang Ce shook his head slowly:
"City Lord Li, why do you deceive yourself?"
"The situation in the Tianlan World, you should see it clearly, the origin power of the Tianlan World has been polluted, and your higher-ups have been looking for a solution."
"But I can tell you unequivocally, you can't find a way."
"When our Moyun World officially launches an attack on your Tianlan World, you will see that the Tianlan World has collapsed."
"At that time, City Lord Li, can you still be the City Lord of Songcheng?"
"The powerhouse of our Moyun World will directly kill you, and the people of our Moyun World will take over Songcheng."
Li Mugong's face was expressionless, and a cold light flashed in his eyes:
"I, Li Mugong, am not frightened, we are not soft persimmons in the Tianlan World."
"Your Moyun World and our Tianlan World have not officially started a war yet, and it is still unknown who will kill the deer."
"So, if you say now that our Tianlan World will fall apart, in my opinion, it's a big joke."
Liang Ce chuckled:
"Am I telling a joke or not, I believe that City Lord Li has his own judgment in his heart."
"We won't talk about these meaningless arguments."
"Now, we, the Moyun World, throw an olive branch to you, City Lord Li, as long as you are willing to serve our Moyun World, I guarantee that after we occupy the Tianlan World, you will become the domain master and manage hundreds of cities, and we will give you five hundred Star Stones first."
"City Lord Li, these are all things that you don't have a chance to get now."
"Take 10,000 steps back and say, if our Moyun World really fails to occupy the Tianlan World, you are still the city lord of Songcheng, as long as you don't show your feet, no one will know that you are a member of our Moyun World."
"I believe that the benefits of this, I believe that City Lord Li knows it very well in his heart, so I don't need to say too much."
After saying this, Liang Ce kept silent, just looked at Li Mugong with a smile.
Li Mugong fell into deep thought.
He was indeed an ambitious man.
He also thought that when the Moyun World and the Tianlan World completely went to war, the order of the Tianlan World would collapse, and the entire world would be in chaos, and the major domain lords would definitely occupy the land as kings.
He wanted to do the same, but he didn't have the strength.
Even the military advisor he invited to give advice said that when the time came, his best choice for Li Mugong was to take refuge in a powerful domain master.
But now, the opportunity is in front of us.
Betraying the Tianlan World and surrendering to the Moyun World, he will have a chance to become an overlord and get five hundred Star Stones first.
It's a sure-fire business.
But Li Mugong is still a person from the Tianlan World after all, and he is still a city lord.
Ask him to carry it
Rebelling against the world, he still has a hurdle in his heart.
"City Lord Li might as well go back and think about it," Liang Ce said with a smile, "I understand City Lord Li's loyalty to the Tianlan World, but heroes are always created by the times, and those who know the times are the heroes."
"If City Lord Li is willing to cooperate with our Moyun World, three days later, at this time, I will wait for City Lord Li here."
After speaking, Liang Ce hugged his fist at Li Mugong, then turned around and left, and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.
At this time, it was the darkest time of the night before dawn.
Li Mugong stood on the wilderness and pondered for a long time before turning around and rushing back in the direction of Songcheng.
When he returned to the City Lord's Mansion and entered his study, the dawn had already appeared outside the window.
A thin old man with a white beard was sitting on a chair, quietly looking at Li Mugong.
Li Mugong glanced at the old man, then sighed, sat directly in his place, and lowered his voice and said:
"Strategist, the people from the Moyun World are looking for me."
The old man nodded, "What conditions were offered to you?"
Li Mugong said truthfully:
"The people of the Moyun World promised that if the Moyun World really occupied the Tianlan World, they could make me the domain master, and they would give me five hundred Star Stones first."
"Strategist, do you think I should cooperate with the people of the Moyun World?"
The old man said expressionlessly:
"The conditions are very good."
"If you say yes, I'll be perfectly understanding."
"But...... Are you sure it's "cooperation" and not utilization?"
"Can you really keep what they promised you?"
"You can betray the Tianlan World, how can you really win their trust, such an important position as the domain master, will they really be handed over to you?"
"In my opinion, they will kill you as soon as they use you for their own purposes."
Li Mugong's face was solemn:
"I naturally understand this truth."
"But if I miss this time, I may really not have a chance to go further in my life."
The old man was silent for a moment and said:
"On different terms."
"You should have never heard the promise of making you a domain master in the future."
"Let them give them a thousand Star Stones."
"Improve your strength as soon as possible, this is the most important thing, with strength, you have the power to protect yourself."
Li Mugong got up and bowed to the old man and clenched his fists:
"I remember the words of the military advisor."
The old man nodded, "I came to you so early, and I have one more thing to tell you."
Li Mugong nodded, "The military advisor said it was okay."
The old man shook his head slowly, "I'm leaving."
Li Mugong's expression was stunned, "Strategist, why?"
The old man glanced at Li Mugong deeply, "There is a saying that the Tao is not the same."
"Your choice is not wrong, it is just different from mine."
Li Mugong's expression was solemn, "Strategist, those who know the times are Junjie, even if you have the heart to do something for the Tianlan World, what chance can you have to realize your ambitions?"
"What's more, the Tianlan World is already at a disadvantage, so why should you choose a path where you can't see hope?"
The old man shook his head again:
"City Lord, you know me, what I have decided will never change."
"I look forward to the day when I can hear your name as Li Mugong."
As he spoke, the old man got up and walked to the door, but he paused again and turned back to Li Mu and said fairly:
"The old man has another piece of advice to the city lord, the times create heroes, but the heroes have more available talents."
"And the city lord, there is no one under your command who can be used."
"The faithful are not brave enough, the brave are not prudent enough, and the prudent are not honest enough......
"Old man watched the stars last night and saw that a star appeared."
Li Mugong's eyes lit up:
"Did the military find me a usable talent?"
The old man shook his head:
"He should be within the jurisdiction of Matsushi, but I don't know if I can find him and subdue him."
"Or maybe he's not someone you can subdue at all."
The old man recalled the scene he saw when he watched the stars last night.
A general star, jumping from the east, bloomed brightly, overpowering all the stars in the entire sky.
"If I can find him, I will be able to help him in a real career."
"Unfortunately, he's not us... Alas, forget it, don't talk about it."
After speaking, the old man walked out of the study directly and walked slowly towards the outside of the City Lord's Mansion.
Li Mugong looked at the old man's back, and complex emotions flashed in his eyes.
This complex emotion contains gratitude, regret, respect, and reluctance, but it is also mixed with worry, resentment, and murderous intent.
"Jiang Boya, if you can't be used by me, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"I'm not going to let you help someone else do great things!"
How terrifying Jiang Boya is, Li Mugong knows best in his heart.
At the beginning, he was just an ordinary squad leader, and he met Jiang Boya.
It was Jiang Boya who gave him guidance and made him the city lord of Songcheng step by step.
However, Jiang Boya's own strength is not strong, only the ninth layer of the Starlight Realm, not even the Starlight Realm.
He once told Li Mugong that strength was useless to him, and it was just an easy thing to become a strong man.
He is the ninth layer of the Starlight Realm, because the ninth layer of the Starlight Realm is enough.
If one day, he needs to live longer and needs stronger strength, he will definitely have more strength.
Li Mugong came back to his senses and let out a long sigh:
"Strategist, why don't you want to help me?"
"Don't you even think highly of me?"
Outside the Castle Lord's Mansion.
Jiang Boya looked back at the closed gate of the City Lord's Mansion, and slowly shook his head, a trace of regret flashed on his old face, and a trace of reluctance flashed in his cloudy eyes.
After decades of getting along, he has long regarded Li Mugong as his child.
But there should always be a time when people should be different.
Jiang Boya twisted his fingers, pinched his fingers, and after a while, he walked towards the east city gate.
Half a day later, Jiang Boya left Songcheng and went all the way to the east, along the river.
There is actually another factor for him to leave Li Mugong.
Last night he had figured out that a star had appeared, and he was so excited that he was determined to find this man and help him achieve a real career, and thus fulfill his ambitions.
But he didn't tell Li Mugong that the general star, jumping from the sky, was not from the Tianlan world.
This made Jiang Boya very complicated, and finally decided to retire from the rivers and lakes and live for a long time.
He calculated that the star was in the west, but he went east, in order to avoid the star.
Maybe I'm tired of walking.
Jiang Boya sat down on a big rock by the river, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then looked at the river quietly.
The sun was scorching and dazzling, but Jiang Boya remained motionless, allowing his skin to be hot.
Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking the air from behind him.
A touch of disappointment flashed in Jiang Boya's eyes, and a touch of sadness and tiredness also appeared on his old face.
He knew that the Li Mu Guild had sent someone to kill him.
But when this scene really happened, the sadness in his heart was clear only to him.
Thirteen figures burst out from all directions, surrounding Jiang Boya.
These thirteen figures are not those captains under Li Mugong, but members of a team that Jiang Boya asked Li Mugong to secretly build ten years ago.
These people, each of them has experienced a hundred battles, and each of them is a star realm, and they are the real killer weapon in Li Mugong's hands.
And Li Mugong does attach importance to Jiang Boya.
Knowing that Jiang Boya only had the strength of the ninth layer of the Starlight Realm, he still let thirteen masters of the Starlight Realm kill him.
The thirteen people all clenched their fists at Jiang Boya and said respectfully:
"Strategist, the city lord has asked us to kill you."
Jiang Boya nodded: "Let's do it, don't say too much."
The thirteen people glanced at each other, and the next moment they rushed towards Jiang Boya at the same time.
The momentum of their whole bodies exploded, the weakest one was the first layer of the Starlight Realm, and the strongest one was already the ninth layer of the Starlight Realm.
Jiang Boya closed his eyes, shook his head slowly, and let out a long sigh.
The next moment, the momentum on Jiang Boya's body exploded instantly, and in the blink of an eye, he broke through the Starlight Realm, broke through the Starlight Realm, and then broke through the Starlight Realm, and stopped steadily at the first floor of the Starlight Realm.
Feel the terrifying power on Jiang Boya's body.
The faces of all thirteen people changed drastically.
They had already rushed in front of Jiang Boya, and they had no time to retreat, so they could only grit their teeth and attack with all their might.
Jiang Boya shook his head slowly and said softly:
"Broken."
The strength of his whole body formed a word "broken" in front of him that was almost condensed into substance, and then exploded violently.
The thirteen Starlight Realm masters flew out upside down in an instant, vomiting blood in mid-air.
Jiang Boya looked at them and said slowly:
"You are dead, you don't need to go back to Songcheng, the world will change, you can find another master."
After speaking, Jiang Boya turned around and left slowly.
Thirteen masters of the Starlight Realm knelt directly on the ground and shouted at Jiang Boya:
"Strategist, take us along!"
Jiang Boya shook his head, "The Tao is different, and they don't conspire with each other."
