Chapter 449: Can and Can't
"You mean?" Li Mu, under Xu Zhilei's prompting, quickly connected these three in series and made a reasonable guess.
Is the Green Cockroach in the business of smuggling ordnance into the grasslands?
Li Mu thought about it, and judging from the relationship between the three, it seems that there is such a possibility. The Zhengyuan Sect needs followers and money, and it is very likely that Dai Dana knows some of the methods of ordnance manufacturing in the Tianji Palace. The steppe people have iron mines, but they do not have mature smelting technology, let alone ordnance, which has a high level of manufacturing technology and huge financial resources to produce and assemble on a large scale.
It was with the addition of ordnance to the city that Da Zhen blocked the grassland rangers who came and went like the wind on the grassland. It is worth mentioning that the heaviest ordnance of Da Zhen is the crossbow. The lethality of a crossbow is several times greater than that of a bow and arrow. The steppe people are good at riding and shooting, but their bows and arrows are shoddy compared to the military crossbows carefully crafted by Da Zhen. Its power is even more heaven and earth.
If the steppe people had a crossbow in their hands, it would be a different matter. Therefore, in the "Great Law", there is an iron law, those who smuggle weapons will be killed.
"Could it be that they really do such a business?" Li Mu wondered.
Xu Zhilei waved his hand, "What does it matter if it's true or false?
When Li Mu heard this, he suddenly had a feeling of being sudden. Yes, why should I be so cautious? Isn't it worried about the backstage of the Green Lees Gang? Li Mu comes and goes freely, not afraid of many forces such as the Zhengyuan Sect, Xie Bing himself has an enlightenment, and he can also bear the consequences. But Zou Baolong's Da Kun Gang did not. What Li Mu is really worried about is the Dakun Gang that Zou Baolong wants to keep.
If the Green Turtle Gang is really involved in arms smuggling, then there is the Zhengyuan Sect behind the Green Turtle Gang, Tianji Palace, and if it is destroyed, it will be destroyed. As soon as the news breaks, they will try their best to dissociate themselves. If the Green Turtle Gang didn't get involved, then after defeating the Green Turtle Gang, they would become kings and defeat the king, and take this hat that violated the "Great Law" and buckle it on their heads, at least it can block the backstage of the Green Turtle Gang, so that they don't dare to take revenge openly.
"Shizi's method is really clever!" Li Mu opened his mouth to pat Xu Zhilei's ass, but a fear suddenly appeared in his heart. I have so many worries, it's all because I don't have accurate information. Information asymmetry, causing yourself to be too cautious. If he knew what he was doing, Li Mu would naturally make a different plan.
That's how important it is to have information. In this regard, Tingfeng Xuan has done quite well. Moreover, because he is listening to Fengxuan, as long as the news that the Green Turtle Gang is doing an arms smuggling business is released, even if the Green Turtle Gang is really innocent, it will be enough for them to trouble.
People are terrible, this is a knife that kills people without seeing blood.
Xu Zhilei looked at Li Mu, as if he could see through Li Mu's thoughts at a glance. "Don't shoot the sycophants, I can tell you that Tingfeng Xuan will not spread fake news. My help to you is that you are my friend. Do you understand, Li Mu?"
"Understood. Li Mu nodded, "Ever since the prince called me a friend, I have understood the prince's intentions. However, there is one thing that I still have to ask the prince. ”
"Speak. Xu Zhilei raised his hand.
Li Mu looked like a dog's leg and asked, "What good is it for me to deal with the Green Turtle Gang, His Royal Highness the Prince?"
"Benefits?" Xu Zhilei smiled, "Why do you ask?"
"Repay the favor. Li Mu clenched his fists.
Xu Zhilei shook his head, "If you want to repay Li, don't say anything else, just let the Kunpeng Gang regain its glory." ”
"Huh?" This answer was beyond Li Mu's expectations.
"Is it difficult to understand?" Xu Zhilei tilted his head, "The old incident twenty-one years ago, I don't need to say more, you should also understand, right? What the Great Army didn't have time to do, the Kunpeng Gang did. ”
"You know, when I first heard about it, I was longing for it. At the same time, I also understood one thing. Xu Zhilei stood up, "Sometimes, the forces of the rivers and lakes are more useful than the army. Especially, it's in this Yacheng. ”
Li Mu heard the song and knew the elegant meaning, "Does the prince want to have an extra force of his own in Yacheng?"
Xu Zhilei nodded, "You call me the son, and the eldest brother is also the son." However, there is only one son who can really be hereditary in the royal palace. ”
Li Mu immediately saluted and said, "I am willing to share the worries of the son." ”
"You are a guest of the Dongshan County Palace, why did you rebel so quickly? If you agree so quickly now, then I have to worry, will you betray me so readily in the future?" Xu Zhilei asked a very heart-wrenching question.
Li Mu was not in a hurry, and replied: "Back to the world, first of all, I became the doorman of the king of Dongshan County because the king of Dongshan County fished me out of prison. Like I said, I'm a grateful person. ”
"Then your kindness is too cheap. "Xu Zhilei looks like he looks at what you say to me.
"Kindness is not cheap, it's just how the county lord of Huanting treated me, and the prince also saw it. Li Mu continued, "Instead of being tortured like this by Lord Huanting, it is better to be completely freed. ”
"Thirdly, and most importantly. There are ten halls of Yama in the palace of the king of Dongshan County. I was originally the Li family after the rebellion, and I didn't want to be implicated again. Li Mu magnificently threw out the third and most important point. "Not to mention that I've already caught the strings, and staying in the palace may cause other troubles. ”
"There are people from the Ten Halls of Yama in the Dongshan County Palace?" Xu Zhilei's face changed, and his expression became serious. "Are you sure?"
"Sure. Li Mu replied in an affirmative tone.
"It can't be. Xu Zhilei shook his head resolutely, "The information of all the guests in the Dongshan County Palace, Tingfeng Xuan has it. The news that the new generation of Ten Hall Yamas had also appeared, and His Majesty asked us to listen to Feng Xuan and cooperate with the Yacheng Guards to investigate the suspicious people in Yacheng. Most of the people in the rivers and lakes who know martial arts have investigated it. The Juxian Village of the King of Dongshan County is also the top priority. ”
"That person has a kind of martial arts that confuses the mind, and can erase a certain memory. Li Mu pointed to himself, "I tested him at the time, and I almost got hit." ”
"Oh, then how can you be sure that person is from the Ten Palaces of Yama?" asked Xu Zhilei.
Li Mu said: "Everything is based on my speculation, that person's name is Song Di. If the prince does not believe it, he can send someone to find out. If the results of the investigation are inconsistent, doesn't that prove that there is something wrong with him?"
Xu Zhilei thought for a moment and said, "I will send someone to this matter." If it's really the Ten Halls Yama ......," Xu Zhilei sneered, "You must not let it go." ”
Li Mu looked at Xu Zhilei's smile and didn't speak. Xu Zhilei asked, "If there is no objection, I want you to stay in the Dongshan County Mansion for the time being." ”
"Hmm, I don't know what the prince means?" asked Li Mu.
"Since the Ten Palaces of Yama are in the Dongshan County Palace, then as soon as you leave, you are the real startling snake. Xu Zhilei's tone had changed. "You need to stay there. My people are going, and they need your help. ”
"Yes. Li Mu nodded, but he still had to make it clear, "After tonight, when Lord Huanting returns to the palace, there may be any changes, in short, I can only improvise." ”
Xu Zhilei nodded, "This bit of ability, you must have perfected it." ”
Li Mu smiled.
Xu Zhilei patted him on the shoulder, "Do it well, I won't treat you badly." ”
Li Mu's heart moved, and he said, "I wonder if the prince can have the right to pardon like the king of Dongshan County?"
Xu Zhilei shook his head, "I know what you're thinking, but I can tell you." In fact, I am also very surprised that Your Majesty was able to release you. As for that Shen Li, I advise you not to think about it. She's involved in a lot. ”
"If it was just the matter of the shark pearl at the beginning, I believe that there would be no clues from her. Li Mu defended Shen Li.
Xu Zhilei waved his hand and signaled that Li Mu didn't need to say more.
Li Mu frowned, he suddenly had some doubts, did Xu Zhilei know something, what else would be involved in Shen Li?
"In short, the safest place for her now is the prison, and she is there, and nothing goes wrong. But if you deliver her, you have to take care of her. She will be your weakness. Xu Zhilei's words pointed directly to the bottom of Li Mu's heart, "It's better for men to be hard-hearted towards women." A soft-hearted man, who takes care of each other but loses everything, can't become a big thing. ”
Li Mu didn't argue, he lowered his head and thought.
Xu Zhilei looked up at the bright moon outside the window and said with a smile: "There are many things that men can do, and sometimes we can't just look at the present, we have to look farther." ”
"Taught. Li Mu clasped his fists and saluted.
"Go ahead. By the way, do you have any requirements for the guest room at night?" asked Xu Zhilei.
"Requested, but arranged by the son. Li Mu replied casually.
Xu Zhilei smiled, "Then it's no problem, go ahead." As soon as he finished speaking, a maid walked in outside the door. Li Mu saluted again and followed the maid.
As soon as Li Mu left with his front foot, Yu Yu appeared in the side hall.
Xu Zhilei asked, "Jiang Da Beauty, have you arranged it?"
Yu Yu nodded, "It's all arranged." That Li Mu, young master, how are you going to arrange it?"
Xu Zhilei narrowed his eyes, looking a little sleepy. "On the palace of Dongshan County, it has always been a little boring. Just let him stay there. If the king of Dongshan County can say that His Majesty will let him go, there must be an attempt. Let's see. ”
"If he can get those three gangs done, it's a big deal. The northeast corner of Yacheng is the closest to the Da Nan River, which can be said to be the most convenient place to enter and exit the Yacheng waterway. Such a place is still safe in the hands of one's own people. ”
"In a few days, it will be His Majesty's birthday, and then the ceremony will be celebrated, and hundreds of officials will enter the palace to congratulate. That's the big deal. ”
"Ah...... There are a lot of things. ”
