Chapter 680: Return
The lord of the Ten Halls of Yama, the black-robed man who calls himself the King of Jizo Bodhisattva.
When Li Mu thought of him, he suddenly felt a headache. The Ten Palaces Yama was once the dead soldier of King Yu, and it is said that all of them died in the rebellion more than 20 years ago. But twenty years later, they returned to the world from the underworld, and the Buddha-faced black-robed man calculated Shen Li, appeared in Shuzhou, and used the king of Dongshan County...... Li Mu really can't see through all this.
However, the only thing that is certain is that the Ten Palaces Yama must be carrying out their plan, but this plan is aimed at the Great Yama. Li Mu couldn't know what the Ten Hall Yama wanted to do, but he could be sure. "The Bodhisattva appeared in Dongchu City, he must have his intentions. ”
With the courage of the Bodhisattva, Li Mu didn't think that he just wanted to come to Dongchu City and share a piece of the pie with the three people present. Even he, Li Mu, wanted to replace him, so how could the Bodhisattva succumb to others?
"Do you mean...... Is it those grains and grass?" Li Mu had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he asked loudly: "Could it be that your grain is the Bodhisattva's instructions?"
White Fang, Chu Yingxuan, and Ning Tao looked at each other. They only know the black-robed man, but they don't know his name. Li Mu suddenly came out with the word Bodhisattva, and they only regarded it as a Bodhisattva enshrined in the temple. Li Mu also discovered this, he coughed clearly, and changed his words: "That black-robed man is called a bodhisattva. He paused slightly, and then said, "He is my uncle." ”
"Uncle Shi?" Ning Tao and the three of them were confused by this twist. White Fang even said, "What do you mean by that?"
Li Mu laughed, of course he could have something to do with the Bodhisattva.
At the beginning, Yue Yefeng once asked Li Mu to pretend to be a novice in Yacheng and become his nephew. In other words, Li Mu was also a disciple of half of the King Kong Temple. And the Bodhisattva's martial arts are also from the Liberation Gate, which can be regarded as the same origin of the teacher. In this way, Uncle Shi's statement is also tenable. What's more, the Bodhisattva, as the lord of the Ten Halls of Yama, was once the dead soldier of King Yu. Now that King Yu's daughter is Li Mu's wife, isn't this Bodhisattva also Li Mu's dead man?
Li Mu said this very naturally, as if he was putting down the cup after drinking water. But in fact, because he didn't really want to be related to the Bodhisattva, he thought of something himself.
The black-robed man is the Bodhisattva, and the Bodhisattva has become another major force in Eastern Chu City. What Li Mu wants to do so far is to mess up East Chu City, and then gain benefits and prestige from the chaos, so as to achieve the goal of entering East Chu City. Becoming a great force in Eastern Chu City is the foundation for further becoming the sole force in Eastern Chu City. This step, the Bodhisattva has already done it, why doesn't Li Mu take a step further on the basis of the Bodhisattva?
To dominate East Chu City, you can only try it slowly, not overnight. In this regard, he and the bodhisattva have the same idea.
They are all in the realm of gods, and they have a strength that far exceeds that of the three families in Eastern Chu City. With their ability, directly killing the leader of Eastern Chu City was just a casual move. They can use force to seize the overlord of Eastern Chu City.
But is it really that simple? If one person shows his strength and kills all those who disobey, he can make everyone else bow down?
No, brutal suppression by force alone will inevitably lead to resistance.
Unless you have enough manpower to help you control the overall situation and completely control the forces of Eastern Chu City. Otherwise, the remnants of the forces will unite under oppression to resist. Even if it's not a rebellion on the surface, secretly it is enough to toss the yang and the yin.
The most important point. The lifeblood of Eastern Chu City lies in the commodity exchange between the three kingdoms. Businessmen seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and the prosperity of East Chu City is inseparable from the word stability. Whether it is the Ning family, the Chu family, or the white teeth, they are all old faces of East Chu City, and they have accumulated over the years, so they naturally have a reputation.
But that's it, when the two Ning Tao families clashed together, the caravan in Eastern Chu City was reduced by half. Even the Red Shark Gang, which has always been closely connected to East Chu City, will find another way to ensure their interests.
That's not to mention that you kill them all by yourself and start anew. The cost of this is a problem worth calculating.
"A year ago, my master told me and my uncle that we had to come to East Chu City. Li Mu began his performance. "It's just that I didn't expect him to be one step ahead of me. I'm already on an equal footing with you. ”
White Fang and the others had a strange look on their faces. Li Mu suddenly talked about his relationship with the black-robed man, and said that he was an uncle. With the wisdom of the three of them, of course, they would not be foolish to believe it.
White Fang admired the black-robed man very much, and he asked, "We've never heard him talk about the origin of the master. ”
"It's like I didn't tell Lord White Fang about the origin of the master. Because this is a door rule, it cannot be revealed to the outside world. Li Mu paced slowly, "Lord White Fang can also think about it, if a sect can easily cultivate a master of the god realm, there must be secrets that need to be kept. ”
"It's definitely not the Eight Great Sects, but I'm not interested. The black-robed man once said that making him a member of East Chu City would not only bring us benefits, but also help us defend East Chu City at a critical moment. Chu Yingxuan gave Bai Ya a look, "You are actually uncles and nephews, so in the current situation, I will keep my promise in the future, right?" Chu Yingxuan's words were obviously about to use Li Mu as a gun.
Li Mu laughed and asked as a matter of course: "So, what's the benefit? I want to have the same status as my uncle, can you give it?"
This question is a very straightforward question of asking for money, power, and status. Bai Fang's face was pale, and he recalled the words that Li Mu said when he swore allegiance to him before, and at this time, needles were pierced in his face. "It's impossible, not to mention whether the black-robed man knows you or not, the situation is still under control. As long as the Red Shark Gang sends troops to cut off the back road of the grassland people, this time the grassland people will still retreat as before. ”
Li Mu nodded, "Yes, I agree with this very much." I have also heard before that Eastern Chu City repelled the grassland several times, relying on the tactics of internal and external flanking. It's just that this time, the steppe people sent a guardian knight, coupled with the infighting in Dongchu City, whether it was the city gate or the steps of the second floor, it was thrown too quickly. ”
"Although it can still rely on the defense line to defend, but compared to the past, it is likely that the second layer has been occupied by the steppe people before the Red Shark Gang attacked. Li Mu pointed out the door, "If it comes to this point, then a few people here will be more than lucky." ”
"I still want East Chu City, so I won't let this happen. Li Mu said righteously, "As long as I can get enough rewards, I can do my best to solve the crisis for Eastern Chu City." ”
