Chapter 470
Songcheng, City Lord's Mansion, late at night.
A man in black robe quietly sneaked into the city lord's mansion and came outside the study of the city lord Li Mugong.
He knocked lightly on the door, and the next moment he jumped into the air, took a few steps on the roof, and soon disappeared into the night.
Li Mugong walked out of the study, squinted his eyes and glanced at the black shadow blending in with the night in the distance, and chased after him the next moment.
Five hundred miles outside the city, somewhere in a secluded wilderness.
When Li Mugong chased him here, he saw the man in black robe waiting for him.
Li Mugong looked at the other party expressionlessly and did not speak first. new
The man in black robe slowly said:
"City Lord Li, please introduce yourself. My name is Liang Ce."
Li Mugong snorted coldly, "I don't care who you are, just tell me what you want from me."
The corners of Liang Ce's mouth turned up slightly, and in the darkness, there was a hint of smile in his voice:
"I came to City Master Li to show you a clear path."
Li Mugong said "hehe", "I am the lord of Songcheng. I have a bright future. Do I need you to show me the way?"
Liang Ce slowly shook his head:
"City Lord Li, why do you have to deceive yourself?"
"You should clearly see the situation in Tianlan World. The original power of Tianlan World has been contaminated, and your senior officials have been looking for a solution."
"But I can tell you clearly that 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 falls apart."
"At that time, City Lord Li, can you still be the City Lord of Songcheng?"
"We, the strong men of Moyun World, will kill you directly. We, the people of Moyun World, will take over Songcheng."
Li Mugong's face was expressionless, with a cold light flashing in his eyes:
"I, Li Mugong, am not scared, and we in Tianlan World are not soft persimmons either."
"The war between your Moyun world and our Tianlan world has not officially started yet, and it is still unclear who will win."
"So, if you say now that our Tianlan world will fall apart, in my opinion, it is a big joke."
Liang Ce chuckled:
"Whether I'm telling a joke or not, I believe City Master Li can make his own judgment in his heart."
"We will not talk about these meaningless arguments."
"Now, we, Moyun World, extend 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 Tianlan World, you will become the domain lord and manage hundreds of cities. We will also I will give you five hundred star stones first."
"City Lord Li, these are things you have no chance of getting now."
"Taking a step back, if our Moyun world really fails to occupy Tianlan world, you will still be the city lord of Songcheng. As long as you don't show your flaws, no one will know that you are from our Moyun world."
"I believe City Lord Li is very clear about the benefits involved. I don't need to explain it too much."
After saying this, Liang Ce remained silent and just looked at Li Mugong with a smile.
Li Mugong fell into deep thought.
He is indeed an ambitious man.
He also thought that when Moyun World and Tianlan World completely went to war, the order of Tianlan World collapsed, the whole world would be in chaos, and the major domain lords would definitely occupy the land and become kings.
He also wanted to do this, but he didn't have the strength.
Even the military advisor he invited to advise said that when the time came, Li Mugong's best choice would be to seek refuge with a powerful domain lord.
But now, the opportunity is before us.
By betraying the Tianlan world and surrendering to the Moyun world, he would have the chance to become the overlord of one side and get five hundred star stones first.
This is a sure-profit business.
But after all, Li Mugong is still from Tianlan World and a city lord.
Ask him to carry it
There was still a hurdle in his heart for rebelling against Tianlan's world.
"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 Tianlan World, but heroes are always created by the times, and those who understand the current affairs are the heroes."
"If City Master Li is willing to cooperate with us in Moyun World, I will wait for City Master Li here in three days at the same time."
After speaking, Liang Ce hugged Li Mugong, then turned and left, disappearing into the night in the blink of an eye.
At this time, it is the darkest time before dawn.
Li Mugong stood in the wilderness and pondered for a long time before turning around and rushing back towards Songcheng.
When he returned to the City Lord's Mansion and entered his study, dawn had already appeared outside the window.
A skinny old man with white beard and hair was sitting on a chair, looking at Li Mugong quietly.
Li Mugong glanced at the old man, then sighed, sat down directly in his seat, and lowered his voice:
"Military advisor, people from Moyun World are looking for me."
The old man nodded, "What conditions were offered to you?"
Li Mugong said truthfully:
"The people from Moyun World promised that if Moyun World really takes over Tianlan World, they can make me the domain master and give me five hundred star stones first."
"Military advisor, do you think I should cooperate with the people in Moyun World?"
The old man said expressionlessly:
"The conditions are very good."
"If you agree, I can totally understand."
"But...are you sure this is "cooperation" and not exploitation? "
"Can they really fulfill what they promised you?"
"How can you really win their trust if you can betray Tianlan World? Will they really leave such an important position as Territory Lord in your hands?"
"In my opinion, after they use you to achieve their own goals, they will kill you as soon as possible."
Li Mugong looked solemn:
"Of course I understand this."
"But if I miss this time, I may never have the chance to go further in my life."
The old man was silent for a moment and said:
"Let's change the conditions."
"Just pretend you haven't heard of the promise that you will be the domain lord in the future."
"Ask them to give you a thousand star stones."
"The most important thing is to improve your strength as soon as possible. Only with strength can you have the power to protect yourself."
Li Mugong stood up, bowed to the old man and clasped his fists:
"I remember what the military advisor said."
The old man nodded, "I came to see you so early. I have one more thing to tell you."
Li Mugong nodded, "The military advisor just said it doesn't matter."
The old man shook his head slowly, "I'm leaving."
Li Mugong looked startled, "Military advisor, why?"
The old man took a deep look at Li Mugong and said, "There is a saying that people who are different in different ways will not work together."
"Your choice is not wrong, it's just different from my choice."
Li Mugong looked solemn, "Military advisor, those who understand current affairs are heroes. Even if you are determined to do something for Tianlan World, what chance do you have to realize your ambition?"
"Besides, Tianlan World is already at a disadvantage, so why would you choose a path with no hope?"
The old man shook his head again:
"City Lord, you understand me. What I have decided will never change."
"I look forward to the day when I can hear your name, Li Mugong."
With that said, the old man stood up and walked to the door, but stopped and turned back to Li Mugong:
"I have another piece of advice for the city lord. Times make heroes, but heroes have more talents to use."
"And the city lord, you don't have anyone available for you."
"A loyal person is not brave enough, a brave person is not cautious enough, and a cautious person is not honest enough..."
"I looked at the stars last night and saw a general star appearing."
Li Mugong's eyes lit up:
"The military has found available talents for me?"
The old man shook his head:
"He should be within the jurisdiction of Songcheng, but I don't know if we can find him and subdue him."
"Or maybe, he is simply not someone you can conquer."
The old man recalled the scene he saw while watching the stars last night.
A general star jumped from the east, and its blooming light overwhelmed all the stars in the entire sky.
"If I can find him, I will definitely be able to assist him and achieve a real career."
"It's a pity that he is not one of us...Oh, forget it, let's not talk about it."
After saying that, 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, with complex emotions flashing through 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 cruel."
"I won't let you help others achieve great things!"
Li Mugong knew how terrifying Jiang Boya was.
He met Jiang Boya when he was just an ordinary team leader.
It was Jiang Boya who gave him guidance and made him step by step become the lord of Songcheng.
But Jiang Boya's own strength is not strong. He is only at the ninth level of the Starlight Realm, not even the Starlight Realm.
He once told Li Mugong that strength was of no use to him and that becoming a strong man was only a piece of cake.
He is at the ninth level of the Starlight Realm because the ninth level of the Starlight Realm is enough.
If one day he needs to live longer and be stronger, he will definitely have stronger strength.
Li Mugong came back to his senses and let out a long sigh:
"Military advisor, why aren't you willing to help me?"
"Don't you even think highly of me?"
Outside the city lord's mansion.
Jiang Boya looked back at the closed door of the City Lord's Mansion and shook his head slowly. A trace of regret flashed across his old face, and a trace of reluctance flashed through his cloudy eyes.
After decades of getting along, he had long regarded Li Mugong as his own child.
But there should always be a time when people are different.
Jiang Boya twirled his fingers and counted, and after a moment, he walked towards the east city gate.
Half a day later, Jiang Boya left Songcheng and headed east along the river.
There was actually another reason why he left Li Mugong.
Last night he calculated that a general star had appeared. He was extremely excited and determined to find this person and help him achieve a real career, thereby also realizing his ambition.
But he didn't tell Li Mugong that the general star jumping from the horizon was not from Tianlan World.
This made Jiang Boya's emotions very complicated, and he finally decided to retire from the world and take care of himself.
He calculated that the general star was in the west, but he went eastward to avoid the general star.
Maybe he was tired from 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 harsh and dazzling, but Jiang Boya remained motionless, letting his skin get hot.
Suddenly, a crashing sound came from behind.
A flash of disappointment flashed in Jiang Boya's eyes, and a hint of sadness and fatigue appeared on his old face.
He knew that Li Mu Guild sent people to kill him.
But when this scene really happened, only he knew the sadness in his heart.
Thirteen figures burst out from all directions, surrounding Jiang Boya.
These thirteen figures are not the captains of Li Mugong, but members of a team that Jiang Boya asked Li Mugong to secretly build ten years ago.
Each of these people has experienced hundreds of battles, each of them is in the Starlight Realm, and they are the real trump card in Li Mugong's hand.
And Li Mugong indeed valued Jiang Boya.
Even though he knew that Jiang Boya only had the strength of the ninth level of the Starlight Realm, he still let thirteen masters of the Starlight Realm come to kill him.
Thirteen people all clasped their fists at Jiang Boya and said respectfully:
"Commander, the city lord asked us to kill you."
Jiang Boya nodded: "Just do it, you don't need to say too much."
The thirteen people looked 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 at the first level of the Starlight Realm, and the strongest one was already at the ninth level of the Starlight Realm.
Jiang Boya closed his eyes, shook his head slowly, and let out a long sigh.
The next moment, Jiang Boya's aura exploded instantly, breaking through the Starlight Realm in the blink of an eye, breaking through the Starlight Realm again, and stopped firmly at the first level of the Starlight Realm.
Feel the terrifying power on Jiang Boya.
The expressions of all thirteen people changed greatly.
They had already rushed in front of Jiang Boya and had no time to retreat, so they could only grit their teeth and attack with all their strength.
Jiang Boya shook his head slowly and said softly:
"break."
The strength of his whole body formed a "broken" character in front of him that was almost solidified, and then exploded violently.
Thirteen Star Light Realm masters flew out instantly, vomiting blood while still in mid-air.
Jiang Boya looked at them and slowly said:
"You are already dead. There is no need to return to Songcheng. The world will change. You can go find another Mingzhu."
After saying that, Jiang Boya turned around and left slowly.
The thirteen Starlight Realm masters knelt directly on the ground and shouted to Jiang Boya:
"Commander, take us with you!"
Jiang Boya shook his head, "If we have different paths, we don't want to conspire against each other."
