Chapter 254 Chaos is coming(1/2)
The next first sentence of Li Mu shocked Lu An.
"I'll reveal your whereabouts." Li Mu looked at Lu An and said slowly.
Lu An stood up again from the hot chair he had just sat on, looking at Li Mu blankly, with the expression on his face extremely twisted.
Fan Chengde immediately responded: "Don't be nervous, don't worry, the city lord only disclosed it to a few people through special channels, and not many people know about it."
Lu An calmed down for a moment, stopped his nervousness, but asked in great confusion: "Is it a bit too early to reveal it now? Isn't it ready for anything? Will it cause some unnecessary trouble?"
Li Mu continued: "Don't worry, this matter will be over within a few days, and there will be no problems you are worried about. If something really happens, Jianzhang Camp will support you."
Lu An then looked at Fan Chengde on the side.
Fan Chengde coughed lightly and nodded, "Don't worry, Young Master Lu, I still know the origin of your relationship with Jianzhang Camp. I will not let you ignore it. If Lord Yan doesn't peel my skin, Miss Qing will also peel my skin myself."
After hearing Fan Chengde's promise, Lu An felt a little relieved, but he was still a little uneasy.
"Sir, what are your plans? Can you tell me this?" Lu An asked frowned.
Li Mu waved his hand, shook his head, and replied: "No, now I'm just watching the changes. No matter how perfect the plan is, it can't keep up with the changes that change at any time, so take one step at a time."
Hearing Li Mu's words, Lu An's face immediately drooped, looking puzzled, "This is too casual, right? If the city lord doesn't do this, it will be a life-threatening death!"
Li Mu's face became slightly serious and scolded, "Those who accomplish great things are not focused on the details. Are you afraid of encountering such a little trouble?"
Lu An nodded honestly, "To be honest, I'm really a little scared. My head is very valuable now!"
Li Mu immediately rolled his eyes, showed a look of regret, and said directly: "We have so many people here, can you still be in danger? You have to think about the city lord. When he was as old as you, he encountered many problems than you. He has been able to hold on. Now in the northern border, who dares to say something loudly to him? He is standing behind you, what are you afraid of?"
After hearing this, Lu An suddenly laughed and asked in a low voice, "If you say so, is the city lord here too?"
Li Mu immediately spoke in a daze and denied it angrily: "Don't think too much, the city lord is very busy, so how can he have time to pay attention to you?"
Lu Annu whined and said in disappointment.
Li Mu continued: "You have nothing to do in the next two days, so you can stay here honestly and restore your strength."
Lu An could only nod, and then he saw that Li Mu had already started driving people. Lu An immediately retreated inexplicably.
After Lu An left, Fan Chengde and Li Guan both looked at Li Mu at the same time, with a hint of confusion on their faces.
Li Mu explained slowly: "The more he knows, the more things may change, so don't let him know. This is a little more stable, and it is good for him and us."
Both of them nodded.
"Fan Chengde, within the next three days, you will be fully responsible for the security of Guofeng City. Is this OK tonight?" Li Mu ordered.
Fan Chengde immediately knelt down on one knee and replied respectfully: "Fan Chengde received the order."
Li Mu nodded and then looked at Li Guan, "What's the progress now after the news is released?"
Li Guan shook his head, "Not yet. I just revealed a little in the morning. They probably are still distinguishing the authenticity, so after making such a mess, it may be a trick."
Li Mu nodded and suddenly fell silent while sitting on the chair. Although he looked very decadent, his eyes were extremely bright, and a faint heroic spirit was revealed between his eyebrows, which was extremely inconsistent with Li Mu's appearance at this time.
The expression on Li Guan's face also changed with the change of Li Mu's expression, and he became more and more excited. The resourceful and omnipotent white-robed Mu Jiang in his mind seemed to be coming back again.
Fan Chengde also stood quietly aside, waiting for Li Mu's instructions.
In his memory, the lord of Guofeng City sitting in front of him did not look like this now. Back then, when Li Mu was the deputy general of Jianzhang Camp, Jianzhang Camp had overwhelmed the Yulin Guard in all aspects. The name of Bailang Mu was not called in vain. At that time, he was truly heroic. If it hadn't happened to such a thing, the second Li family, the great man, might have risen.
Unfortunately, not only was he injured, he was also taken to the remote Guofeng City. If it weren't for the Yuwen family and Wu Jie behind him, this white-robed herd general might have disappeared?
Fan Chengde's thoughts suddenly drifted away, and the man stood there and started to be stunned.
Li Mu called out twice, but Fan Chengde didn't react. Li Mu was so angry that he got up and kicked him, angrily saying, "What are you doing?"
Fan Chengde staggered and nodded directly, then immediately looked at Li Mu with an apology.
Li Mu scolded with a dark face, "What are you thinking about in broad daylight? Do you still want to do it as a deputy general? No wonder Jianzhang Camp can't beat Yulinwei. You brought this trend yourself, right?"
A series of insults blurted out from Li Mu's mouth. Fan Chengde didn't dare to reply with a word of scolding, but he just blushed and lowered his head, without moving.
Seeing that Li Mu was almost scolding, Li Guan interrupted at the right time, "City Lord, maybe Lord Fan happened to think of some good plan? Why don't you listen to his explanation first?"
Li Mu suddenly snorted, as if he was aware of his recklessness, so he quickly snorted coldly, "Tell me, what was you thinking just now? You were thinking so seriously? If you don't give me a good reason, see how I deal with you!"
Fan Chengde hesitated twice, his thinking was not so active. Although Li Guan had helped him speak, it seemed that he really couldn't think of a reason for this time, so he could only tell the truth with a bitter face.
After hearing Fan Chengde's words, Li Mu suddenly lost his temper and wanted to scold him but he didn't have anger to say anything.
Li Guan secretly gave Fan Chengde a thumbs up.
Li Mu coughed twice, and then continued to talk about the serious matter, "Fan Chengde, starting tonight, I want you to record all the whereabouts of those hundred people, whom I met, where I ate, went to the toilet several times, looked for whom I went to Fengqilou, and even took off my pants several times. All the information must be known."
Fan Chengde immediately responded, "Yes, my subordinates understand!"
Li Mu snorted coldly and said, "After all, I'm not a man! What a pity!"
Then Li Mu looked at Li Guan again and asked, "Where are those two people yesterday? Have they been dealt with?"
Li Guan shook his head, "It should be still in the city now. I didn't expect that the two of them were still masters. They underestimated them and injured several brothers from Jianzhang Camp and ran away."
"Where is the way you come from? Have you figured it out?" Fan Chengde asked blushed.
Li Guan continued to shake his head, "I don't know, but it's definitely not the people we are familiar with, not the Jiange, nor the Taiyi Sect. Maybe the young master caused trouble elsewhere, right? He is quite strong, so the two of them probably have the fifth realm."
Li Mu's expression suddenly became less calm, "Two Five Realms? And the origin is unknown?"
Li Guan nodded, "A person with a strong strength is not much different from the young master. If they come together, the young master will probably not be an opponent."
Li Mu was confused now, "Since Lu An can't beat them, what is the purpose of these two people following him?"
Li Guan shook his head and asked in a low voice: "Can it be Taiyi Sect's trick?"
Fan Chengde directly denied this statement, "Taiyi Sect has always been extremely high-profile in its actions. They must be disdainful of doing such things. Moreover, Zhao Riyue and Qicheng have returned to Zhongzhou. Now the temporary manager of the northern border has become Chu He and Zu Qiu. Zu Qiu is a mute and can't speak. Basically, Chu He has the final say. Chu He ranks third among the brothers of Chu He. He has been suppressed by Zhao Riyue and Zu Qiu. Now he is suppressed by Qi Cheng. He is eager to show his abilities and is extremely arrogant in his work. Although he has done several things to kill demons and eliminate demons during this period, he has praised them very much. There are already dissatisfied voices in the court. However, due to Taiyi Sect's face, it has not been revealed, so it shouldn't be him."
Li Mu tapped the chair lightly, nodded, agreed with what Fan Chengde said, and then continued to ask in confusion: "Since that's the case? What do you think those two people are from?"
"Can these two people be from the Xiliang Sword Sect?" Fan Chengde thought for a while and said this.
Li Mu and Li Guan looked at each other without denying it.
"Apart from that, is there any other possibility?" Li Mu continued to ask.
"Or it's the Yulin Guard's people. Wei Xiu was arrested in front of Lu An. Yulin Guard's people would probably be suspicious of Lu An." Fan Chengde thought for a long time and came up with such an answer.
Li Mu nodded, "It's very likely that this is. Lu An said yesterday that there were two very suspicious people who appeared by his side. Later, after Wei Xuan was arrested by Tian Wai Tian, the two disappeared. It is very likely that these two people were following Lu An in a detour. Wei Xuan deliberately went to find Lu An, and it was impossible for him to find Lu An for help for no reason."
Several figures immediately appeared in Fan Chengde's mind. As his main opponent, he basically had an impression of those people in Yulinwei. Although Yulinwei has fallen now, no one has died. Under Wei Xi's command, there are still many people still moving in secret, including several extremely powerful black hands.
"Fan Chengde, this matter is left to you. Either kill them or catch them. Choose one of them. You can consider it at your own discretion and give you a day. Tomorrow night, I will see the result." Li Mu immediately ordered.
Fan Chengde received the order again.
"Li Guan, go and have a good chat with Jing Ming later to let him know the pros and cons. Stay at home honestly these days, don't go anywhere, just accompany your wife." Li Mu rubbed his brows and said with a tired look on his face.
Li Guan nodded, then looked at Fan Chengde, and the two of them retreated.
When the two left, Li Mu slowly stood up and walked into the back hall. At this time, one of them was holding a cup of tea and drinking tea there.
After Li Mu came in, he first closed the door and then bowed respectfully, "Sir."
Wu Jie slowly put down the teacup in his hand and smiled slightly, "You are still the same as before, doing things without any leakage."
Li Mu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I have more heart but less strength."
Wu Jie pointed and signaled Li Mu to sit down.
Li Mu then sat opposite Wu Jie, picked up the teapot, and poured Wu Jie a cup of tea.
"Sir, why do you need to use Lu An as bait this time? Is the risk too high?" Li Mu asked the question that Lu An was worried about.
Wu Jie replied with a smile: "Didn't you answer this question for me? Why are you still asking me now?"
Li Mu took a sip of tea and concealed his embarrassment, "I made up it temporarily. Fortunately, Lu An is easier to deceive, and Chengde is also more sensible, so he dealt with it like this."
Wu Jiefang lowered the teacup in his hand and did not answer the question. He just asked curiously: "Green tea is good, but it is not good to drink it frequently. There are so many types of tea, why do you want to be unrequited?"
Li Mu replied without hesitation: "For me, only when I drink this tea can I forget the pain I used to be."
Wu Jie looked at Li Mu apologetically, "I didn't expect it to be the reason. I'm sorry to point out your sad things."
Li Mu shook his head gently, "Sir, it's all over, just to leave a thought."
Wu Jie nodded lightly and explained, "For Lu An, my expectations for him are far greater than what you think. Lu An is not an ordinary person. His senior brother has tried his best for him. Now he has ended up with such an unknown life and death. Before he left, he specifically told me to let me take good care of him, so all this is something he must experience now. He lived a very comfortable and leisurely year, and I didn't go to find him. I thought that if he never wanted to come out in his life, then I would just follow him, but now he has survived again, then I must consider his future. I cannot protect him for the rest of his life. He has his own mission."
Li Mu nodded, and understood a little.
Wu Jie continued: "As the most chaotic and safest place among the five places, the North Frontier is now becoming less secure. Some things cannot be said to you before, and some things can be said to you."
Li Mu nodded, "Li Mu can't help if he knows the matter at the adult level. It's okay if he doesn't know, but if Li Mu can help with some things, please ask the adult to arrange them at will. Although Li Mu is weak, he can still move."
Wu Jie looked at Li Mu with anger and cursed: "You are still the same as before, very stubborn, it's time to change."
Li Mu smiled and shook his head, "I've been here for the rest of my life, and I'm probably not going to change it."
Wu Jie looked at Li Mu, "Now I will tell you what I can say. Remember it, I will just say it again. Just listen to it regardless of whether it is good or bad. Don't ask or talk nonsense."
Li Mu nodded honestly.
Seeing this, Wu Jie continued: "The pattern of the northern border may be changing. It has been supported by several dynasties for thousands of years. Although there have been changes in quantity during this period, the overall pattern has not changed, and there has been no situation of dominance in one day. However, from now on, this situation will change."
Hearing this, Li Mu's eyes changed instantly. He heard a terrifying message from Wu Jie's simple words, which was more terrifying than all information. If this possibility occurs, then how many people will die in the North? Li Mu couldn't predict it, and did not dare to predict it.
To be continued...
