Li Mu and his party had already settled down in a small town on the outskirts of Eastern Chu City. It is only three or four miles away from the majestic city built on the mountain, and it can be regarded as the outpost of the Eastern Chu City, similar to the place of ten miles of slope.

When he first entered the town, Li Mu felt a hint of depression. At least from the streets, whether it is the personnel or the shops, there are discrepancies with the original information.

"It stands to reason that even if there is a problem in the city, the people outside the city should not be affected much, why has the outside of the city become so depressed?" Wang Xiao asked.

Li Mu replied: "It seems that the situation is much more serious than I imagined, if there is still control in the city, it should not be like this." The advantages and disadvantages of Eastern Chu City are obvious. The trade center of the illegal land, the black-and-white all-in-one business gives Dongchu City the value of existence. But compared to other fully functional towns, this place is actually quite deformed. ”

"Helper, then what else do we want this place for?" Wang Xiao asked directly.

Li Mu smiled, "The place to settle down, compared to the restraints of Yacheng, Dongchu City is very free." And, believe me, there must be more oil and water here than when we were in Yacheng. ”

Wang Xiao rubbed his hands secretly, "This deputy gang leader has already told us. ”

"You go and rest first, and when Bei Miao comes back from investigating the news, I'll make a decision. Li Mu asked Wang Xiao to go back first.

Li Mu and Shen Li were left in the house. On the way to East Chu City, the two can be said to be facing each other day and night, compensating for all the previous separation. Grinding ears and sideburns all day long, sometimes Wang Xiao and Bei Miao are a little unbearable. However, Mei Mei recognized Shen Li, the wife of the gang leader, and acted as a maid along the way, which made Shen Li uncomfortable.

Soon, Pei Miao returned. Li Mu gathered all the people and waited for Bei Miao's harvest.

"The change in Eastern Chu City stems from the fact that someone was killed. It was the heir of the Ning family who died, and then the Ning family found evidence that it was someone from the Chu family who did it, so the two families fought. The white fang seemed to have thought about persuasion, but he couldn't. Because the Ning family's counterattack killed many people in the Chu family. After Bei Miao finished speaking, she took a few sips of the water cup handed over by Wang Xiao, and then continued, "This matter is so troublesome that the private soldiers of the two families even fought. The day-to-day operations of Eastern Chu City were also greatly affected. ”

Hearing the news, Li Mu raised his eyebrows, "Why do you feel like someone is sowing discord when you hear it?"

Bei Miao nodded, "As far as I heard from the surrounding area, it was said that there were grassland people sneaking in before and taking advantage of the chaos to make trouble, so White Fang came forward and closed the city gate to find the culprit." Calculate the time, it is also before the leader of the Red Shark Gang goes to Cliff City. ”

"The hidden matchmaker is also a good move to take precautions. Li Mu pointed to the sketchy map on the table, "The canyon in the south is called the Sea Cave. It's the base camp of the Red Sharks. According to the distance, the best way to obtain supplies from Eastern Chu City is to calculate the distance. ”

Li Mu raised his head and asked, "Is the gate of Eastern Chu City open now?"

"It's on. I don't know if the steppe man caught it, but soon the gates of the city were opened. It's just that the Chu Ning family is fighting inseparably, and some people are also waiting. Pei Miao reported.

Li Mu turned his head and began to think in his heart. The four Chu Ning families in the upper echelons of East Chu City have already had a gap, which has saved a lot of trouble. If the four families are united, then Li Mu will have a headache.

The death of the heir is a blood feud wherever it is placed. The Ning family is still unwilling to give up, which is also reasonable. The Chu family is a royal family, but it has long since declined, if the two families continue to fight, East Chu City will naturally be greatly affected. There are also illegal rules in illegal places, and all parties come here to trade because of the safety and reputation of Dongchu City. Now that Dongchu City is not safe, the ghost is taking the risk.

It's just that the situation that caused this situation is a bit confusing. As the so-called snipe and clam compete for the benefit of the fisherman, the situation of the two families fighting each other makes Li Mu easily associate this saying. So who will be the person who has profited? Is it the White Fang, or the mysterious person, or someone else? All this, based on the information that Li Mu has at hand now, is completely inconclusive.

All Li Mu can do right now is to find an opportunity to advance to the city.

East Chu City was closed for a while due to chaos, but not for long. Although the Chu Ning family still hasn't stopped, the business still has to be done.

It's just that at this time, most of the grassland people will return to the northern volcanic land for the winter, and the Yebai country will also be eroded by the cold air in the north and fall into severe cold. Therefore, relatively speaking, there will be fewer people who arrive in Dongchu City. This is also the reason why Dongchu City has not returned to its previous liveliness.

For safety reasons, Li Mu decided to go to the city alone. Many things, if he hadn't seen them with his own eyes, Li Mu would still have no bottom in his heart. Although he is in a high position, he doesn't have to bow down to everything, but for Li Mu, it is more reassuring to go by himself.

So Li Mu walked into Dongchu City alone.

Of course, entering the door is not for nothing, and if you enter from the gate of Dongchu City, you need to pay an entrance fee. This fee is not high, three taels of silver. But three taels per person is a very considerable income.

The soldiers at the gate of the city are all in shape. The equipment on his body is similar to the Wutu army that Li Mu saw in the camp west of the city. Moreover, the soldiers on duty seem to be equipped with hand crossbows, which seems to be very telling. And Li Mu also noticed one thing, that is, the armbands on the soldiers' arms were different. There are three kinds of them, one is an ancient seal character, one is a white crow pattern, and the other is the Ning character of the Ning family. In other words, the defense of the city gate was jointly carried out by the three families.

"Then why can the remaining fourth mysterious person be on an equal footing with them?" Li Mu thought of this question for the first time. The three families of Chu, Ning, and Baiya are obviously powerful, so this mysterious person who is powerful is not weak. He should be standing on the second floor with his strength!

Thinking of this, Li Mu had more eyes. In the northern land, there are many masters. For example, the immortal in the pot originally came from the north, and Leng Zizhou's master, the Gun King of the Northland, is an iconic figure in the North.

Li Mu is now in the realm of gods, and there are two gods and different phases. But it has not yet reached the point of invincibility in the world. When the two gods are in the realm of ordinary gods, they will have an advantage. But some masters of the realm of gods are not ordinary masters.

The most direct example, and the most unusual name, is Ren Pingsheng.

If that mysterious person also has such strength, then Li Mu must not be careless.
