Chapter 421: Each with His Own Motives, Driving a Tiger to Devour a Wolf
"Li Chu?"
Hearing them calling his name, Li Chubenchu, who was sitting there, felt confused.
I killed the people from Broken Monument Mountain?
When? Wen Xiang did not tell Li Chu that she was from Broken Monument Mountain, so Li Chu could not associate it with Zhen Guanxi.
But it is obviously unwise to expose one's identity at this time.
After a moment of hesitation, he shook his head and said, "I have never heard of this person, but since you two said that he has a high level of cultivation, he should be somewhat famous..."
"According to what we know so far, this person has only been in the industry for a short time, but all the people he has killed are well-known. For example, the Demon Sect Dharma King, another Demon Sect Dharma King... and so on."
Cao Pan said: "The north is far away from the south of the Yangtze River, so it is normal that Brother Wang has not heard of him yet. But since he dared to provoke us on the Broken Monument Mountain, we will naturally not let him become famous again..."
"Okay, I can help you two find this person." Li Chu said, "But what exactly is his grudge against Broken Stele Mountain? Can you tell me in detail? From what you said, he killed a few people from the Demon Sect, so he doesn't seem like a bad person. If we treat a person indiscriminately, it will also violate the ethics of our generation."
"A few days ago, two secret agents of my Duanbei Mountain were about to meet in Yaowang Town, but they were brazenly blocked by that little Taoist priest, resulting in the failure of the meeting and the abortion of the mission." He Tu explained.
"There is also this matter..." Li Chu murmured.
"Later, our secret agent met the Taoist priest again in Jixiangfu City. This time, he actually attacked directly. When I arrived, I saw him killing someone! The method was extremely cruel! The death was extremely miserable!"
When it comes to the emotional part, He Tu gnashed his teeth and said, "I only regret that my cultivation is too low and I dare not go forward to seek revenge alone. In Broken Monument Mountain, we value brotherhood the most. Every secret agent is like my brother... How can I not hate them to the core for ending up like this?"
"Is this true?" Li Chu shook his head in surprise again.
This is not just a compliment to He Tu's words.
He was genuinely surprised.
Li Chu killed someone... How come I don't know? Frowning, he asked again: "I wonder what the identity of the hidden agent under Commander He is... the deceased?"
"Brother Wang..." Cao Pan looked at him, "Why are you asking so many details?"
"Hmm..." Li Chu hesitated for a moment and answered seriously: "Curious."
“…”
Faced with this reason, Cao Pan and He Tu were speechless for a moment.
However, considering that they still needed the help of the person in front of them, they couldn't hide it. So He Tu thought about it and told him: "His public identity is the eldest senior brother of Yanzhao Sect."
Senior Brother of Yanzhao Sect?
A line suddenly became clear in Li Chu's mind.
Miss Wenxiang, Brother Guanxi, Broken Monument Mountain...
So I really ruined the plan of Broken Monument Mountain without realizing it? But...
I can't blame myself.
I still remember the starting point of all the conflicts, it was Guanxi brother's impoliteness...
What's wrong with a little beating for cutting in line? As for killing him, it was definitely not his doing. I think there must be some misunderstanding, or... someone deliberately framed him.
Looking at Cao Pan Hetu opposite him, he began to feel that these two people should not be trusted.
So he nodded calmly, without revealing any doubt, and just said: "In this case, let us, Truman, take care of this matter. As long as there is news, I will inform you two as soon as possible. But how can I find you two?"
"We will be staying at Cangyue Villa for the time being. If you have any news, please send someone to deliver a letter to Madam Xie and ask her to pass it to us."
"good."
Li Chu nodded again.
There was also some speculation about Mrs. Xie's background. How could she, a lone woman without any background, run a villa like that in Jixiang Mansion?
I think it has something to do with Broken Monument Mountain.
…
After He Tu left, he asked Cao Pan, "Commander Cao, do you think Wang Qi is...reliable?"
"I feel like he's weird..." Cao Pan frowned and said, "But I can't really tell what's wrong."
"I think he's a little weird, too." He Tu agreed, "But there are so many strange people in the world. As long as he has the ability, it doesn't matter if he's a little weird."
"It's just that this kind of weirdo is hard to control. If he were an ordinary person, what he wants is nothing more than cultivation, power, money, status, beauty..." Cao Pan pondered, "But if he is not an ordinary person, then what he wants is mostly very special. Worldly fame and fortune...maybe it's hard to impress him."
"Fortunately, he has a good impression of Broken Monument Mountain. Even if we don't do what he wants, he is willing to help us." He Tu said with a smile.
"Don't forget..."
Cao Pan suddenly turned around grimly and said, "We are not working for Broken Monument Mountain..."
“Uh…” He Tu was stunned for a moment, then said, “That’s true. Commander Cao wanted him to…”
"If I bring people up the mountain, they will naturally be my own team..." Cao Pan said, "If I just add more strength to the mountain, wouldn't that be more of a hindrance than a help?"
He Tu looked at Cao Pan and wanted to say something, when suddenly an idea flashed through his mind.
"In a quarter of an hour, we will arrive at Shili Pavilion outside the city."
This thought poured into his mind like a huge bell, instantly overwhelming all his thoughts, and he could not avoid it.
He immediately understood where this came from and said, "Commander Cao, I have to excuse myself for a moment."
"Where are you going?"
He Tu looked around and said, "The Dharma King is calling you."
“Golden Bodhisattva…” Cao Pan smiled playfully and said, “Okay, then I’ll go back to the villa and wait for you.”
The two parted ways.
He Tu's figure flashed and turned into a gust of wind, sweeping through the streets. There were exclamations in the street, but no one could see his figure clearly.
But in a blink of an eye, He Tu had arrived at the agreed location, the desolate Shili Pavilion outside the city.
As he appeared here, a monk wearing a golden robe and with a solemn appearance walked out from behind him as if he appeared out of thin air.
It is the Golden Bodhisattva.
"Commander He arrived very early." Golden Bodhisattva said in a gentle voice.
"The King of Dharma has summoned me, so I dare not neglect it." He Tu said hurriedly with his head lowered.
When he spoke to the Golden Buddha, his eyes were filled with a pious light.
"I'm looking for you this time because I still have something I want to trouble you with." Golden Bodhisattva said again.
"We must obey the King's orders." He Tu said immediately.
"Recently, the Northern Buddhist Kingdom's plan has expanded rapidly and has already reached the auspicious city. I heard that a new force has emerged in the city recently, called Truman. Do you know about it?" asked the Golden Bodhisattva.
"I just met Wang Qi, the leader of Truman." He Tu replied.
"Oh? What do you think of him? Can he be accepted as a companion in the Buddha's kingdom?" asked the Golden Bodhisattva.
"He..." He Tu thought for a moment and shook his head, "His cultivation is very high, but his temperament is strange... He doesn't look like someone who can be accepted into the Buddha's kingdom."
"Alas..." The Golden Bodhisattva sighed, looking extremely sad, and said, "Then we can only kill him."
"Does the Dharma King want... other believers to take action like in the past? Or does he need my help?" He Tu asked proactively.
"You are my most important believer. I won't need your help unless it is absolutely necessary." The Golden Bodhisattva said, "You just need to help me find suitable believers under his command."
"Your Majesty..." He Tu pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "I suddenly have an idea."
"speak."
"We just used Broken Stele Mountain's name to ask Wang Qi to help us find the young Taoist priest from Jiangnan. If we find him, we might as well try to get him to help us. If Broken Stele Mountain is a tiger, the young Taoist priest is a wolf. If the young Taoist priest is a tiger, then isn't Wang Qi also a wolf?"
What is the plan?
"Provoke Wang Qi to fight with the little Taoist priest, and let them both lose. Then we can sit back and reap the benefits. Isn't that wonderful?"
"That's a good idea." The Golden Bodhisattva said, "But... the last time I fought with the little Taoist priest, I felt that his strength was quite unfathomable. Even I might not be his opponent. And the leader of the Jixiang Mansion might not be able to fight him to a draw."
"In fact, when I watched Wang Qi's sword energy... I felt it was also unfathomable..." He Tu said.
"We can ambush nearby, depending on the situation. Anyway, no matter what, getting rid of either of them will be beneficial to the establishment of our Northern Buddhist Kingdom, right?"
“It’s natural.”
The Golden Bodhisattva nodded with satisfaction.
Just as Liu Fufeng said before.
If it was ordinary puppetry, the person being manipulated would be like a puppet and would never be able to think like this. However, the Golden Bodhisattva could control a person without affecting his or her mind at all.
It's just terrible.
…
What He Tu didn't know was that while he was communicating with the Golden Bodhisattva, the Golden Bodhisattva's eyes inadvertently glanced into the distance.
And in the direction of that glance, there was a figure standing, looking at them silently.
This person is Cao Pan.
Cao Pan stared at the direction of He Tu and the Golden Bodhisattva with a sinister look, as if he could understand what the two were talking about.
As he was watching quietly, he suddenly heard a Buddhist chant behind him: "Amitabha, why is Commander Cao spying on our conversation?"
Cao Pan was startled, and when he turned around, he saw another golden Bodhisattva behind him! He was wearing a golden cassock, had a handsome face, and a solemn appearance. His deep pupils were filled with indifference.
Cao Pan, whose five senses were extremely sharp, had no idea when this figure appeared! But thinking about the other party's identity, he was relieved and said with a smile: "The Dharma King's magical powers are indeed powerful. I am not spying with malicious intent, but just want to hear whether the Dharma King is sincere in cooperating with me."
"Of course we are sincere in our cooperation. As Buddhists, we are sincere all the time." The Golden Bodhisattva smiled and said, "This will help the King of Ten Thousand Worlds not to doubt."
“King of Law…” Cao Pan’s eyes flickered as he said, “What I meant was to cooperate with me… not with King Wanshi.”
"Oh?" The Golden Bodhisattva raised his eyes.
"Your Majesty, please do not regard me as a subordinate of the Eternal King. In fact, I am in a cooperative relationship with him. I just want to use the power of an outsider to fight for power in the mountain. As for this outsider, it can be the Eternal King, and naturally it can also be you, Your Majesty."
"It can be seen that Commander Cao is a man with great ambitions."
After a pause, the Golden Bodhisattva said, "In that case, we can have a good talk."
…
While everyone was harboring their own plans, Li Chu returned to his body and awakened Wang Longqi.
Several people burned incense for Yu Qian'an together.
The incense burner was set up, green smoke rose up, and the figure of the old Taoist priest slowly appeared in front of everyone.
"Haha, what's the matter again?" he asked with a smile.
The smoke behind him swayed from time to time, and sometimes the shadow of a little fat dragon appeared, and sometimes the shadow of a koi appeared, as if two children were fighting over something.
Li Chu said: "Disciple, there is a strange thing here..."
As he spoke, he told Duanbeishan what he had said about murder.
"oh?"
After hearing this, the old Taoist priest also showed an amused expression.
"You just froze the person in place... but the commander said he saw you kill someone with his own eyes. So, either you are lying or he is lying."
The old Taoist glanced at Li Chu again.
"You can't possibly lie, because the person you killed couldn't possibly see how he died."
“That makes sense.”
Wang Longqi nodded at the old Taoist's analysis.
"Then the only thing left is that he was lying." The old Taoist priest spread his hands.
"But why do they want to put the blame on me..." Li Chu frowned.
"First of all, the leader of Broken Monument Mountain is my good friend. I know him very well. He would never do such a thing." Yu Qian'an stroked his chin and said, "And you are my disciple. It is impossible for you to kill someone without reason. There must be something wrong with the person who contacted you. He wants to harm you... or harm Broken Monument Mountain."
"Is the leader of Broken Monument Mountain really trustworthy? He is the number one traitor." Wang Longqi interrupted.
"Don't worry, our friendship is much deeper than that between you and my disciple." Yu Qian'an said.
"Old Taoist priest, are you close friends with Guo Longque?" Liu Fufeng approached and asked, "I wonder what your reputation is in the martial arts world? I guess you must be a well-known figure, right?"
Yu Qian'an glanced at him and found that he was a stranger. He said straight away, "I'm just a passerby. I think Lao Guo is an okay person."
“…”
"Then how should we deal with this matter?" Li Chu pondered, "Even if we don't seek help from Broken Monument Mountain, we can't be enemies with them. If Master really has a past with the boss, wouldn't it be better to go up the mountain and talk to him about this matter?"
"Um……"
The old Taoist thought for a moment and said, "Since they came to you, I think you might as well use their tricks against them and help Broken Stele Mountain catch the traitor."
"Take advantage of their own tactic?"
"That's right..." The old Taoist priest showed a sly smile on his face, "These little things are so cunning... When Renjianhuo was first created and I was playing tricks, they didn't know where to find their mother..."
…
The next day.
Cao Pan and He Tu, who were in Cangyue Villa, received a letter from Truman.
"They have found the whereabouts of the little Taoist priest." Cao Pan said, holding the letter.
"Hehe, that's easy now." He Tu said with a sinister smile, "The next step is to think about how to trick Wang Qi here..."
"No need." Cao Pan put down the letter and said with a smile, "Wang Qi is willing to help us deal with Li Chu!"
"This trick of driving the tiger to swallow the wolf worked!"
