Creation Color Master

Early in the morning, while Chu Mo was having breakfast, a young man dressed in green brocade clothes, giving off an evil look, walked into Tingyu Pavilion.

When Chu Mo saw the newcomer, he immediately greeted him, "Wen You, you are a rare guest. This is only the second time we have met in five days."

The visitor smiled, playing with a folding fan in his hand, and explained: "My lord, you know that I have been secretly cooperating with Chen Gong these days, and I am dealing with those who are trying to start a riot and take advantage of the unrest to do evil. I really can't spare time."

Chu Mo handed a cup of Hundred Flowers Tea to Li Ru and said, "You have worked hard these days. I will need your help in the future. I will ask Du Yuntian and his wife to assist you."

Li Ru thanked him respectfully before picking up the teacup and tasting it.

Name: Li Ru

Weapon: Blood Poison Fan

Skill: "Blue Poison Sky Luo Confucian Classic"

Faction: Human (Confucianism)

Potential: Kaiwen Palace

Cultivation: Peak of One Mirror Summoning Spirit

Introduction: Li Ru, courtesy name Wenyou, was Dong Zhuo's chief strategist. He was Dong Zhuo's confidant and son-in-law, and participated in all matters, big and small. Dong Zhuo's entry into the capital, the surrender of Lu Bu, the dethronement of the emperor, and the relocation of the capital to Chang'an were all inseparable from Li Ru's strategies. Because of his vicious character, he poisoned the young emperor Liu Bian and was dubbed the "poisonous scholar". After Dong Zhuo's defeat, he disappeared.

Chu Mo waited for Li Ru to rest for a while before he said slowly, "Wen You, did you encounter any problems when you came back this time?"

Li Ru said respectfully: "My Lord, the matter you asked me to investigate about the Ghost King Division in Haozhou has made some progress. These people have actually been lurking in various places in Haozhou, and have used various means to create countless strange places."

"They were just afraid of being discovered, so they have always been very careful, but they have never stopped harming people. The appearance of a large number of refugees from all over Haozhou this time exposed their whereabouts, and my subordinates discovered it."

Chu Mo immediately became interested and asked excitedly, "What did you find?"

Chen Gong's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, and he said, "There is a place called Qiansonglin next to Songmu Village in Qudan County. Because Chen Gong promoted the policy of returning refugees to their hometowns, my subordinates found that all the villagers in the village were missing. I became suspicious, but as I investigated further, I found that all the villagers died in Qiansonglin."

Looking at the murderous intent in Li Ru's eyes, Chu Mo knew that this was a sign of Li Ru's anger. The fact that it could make a poison warrior have murderous intent showed that Qiansonglin was not as simple as Li Ru said.

Li Ru continued, "When I led the secret guards in, I saw a scene of corpses hanging in the forest. The blood in the corpses had been drained. There were people from the Ghost King Division inside. The secret guards who went in were no match for them and almost died."

Chu Mo heard this and said seriously: "Oh, now you have the power to mobilize all the secret guards in Haozhou, is there no one who can match him?"

Li Ru smiled helplessly and said, "The Ghost King Division used a group of corpses to cultivate the Hanging Corpse Ghost Willow, a monster. Its cultivation has reached the second level of soul-bearing. In addition, it is in the Thousand Pine Forest, which has the geographical advantage. It is not weaker than a third level creature at all."

"Our Haozhou Secret Guard Lord should know that there is no high-level combat power at all, so the subordinates can only find the Lord and ask the Lord to take action."

Things have come to this point, how could Chu Mo not understand the meaning of Li Ru's words, and immediately asked Chu Tian to call Lin Mingwei from next door.

Li Ru smiled and bowed to Chu Mo, saying, "The one who knows me is my lord."

Chu Mo was also very helpless about the lack of high-level combat power among the secret guards. After all, they had to hide their identities and the job was very dangerous. People who had reached the third or fourth realm of cultivation simply looked down on this identity.

Soon, Chu Tian called Lin Mingwei.

Before entering the inner courtyard, Lin Mingwei's loud voice could already be heard.

"My lord, please tell me you are looking for me, but something has happened again and you need my help."

Chu Mo and Li Ru looked at the newcomer, especially Li Ru, whose eyes were filled with scrutiny and warning.

When Lin Mingwei saw Li Ru staring at him, he suddenly felt the hairs on his body stand up. Those eyes were like those of a venomous snake, full of viciousness and insidiousness, as if they were ready to give him a fatal blow at any time.

But Li Ru soon withdrew his eyes.

Lin Mingwei heaved a sigh of relief and came to the Tingyu Pavilion. He said respectfully, "I am here to see you, my lord. I wonder why you want me here?"

Chu Mo smiled and said, "There is no rush for this matter. Let me introduce you to a future colleague, Li Ru, who will serve as the deputy commander of the secret guards. In the future, he will be in charge of the secret guards of Haozhou most of the time."

After that, he looked at Li Ru again and said, "Wenyou, this is Lin Mingwei, and he is now under my command. We need to have more contact with each other in the future."

Li Ru and Lin Mingwei bowed and sat back on their respective stools.

Seeing that the two of them were a little unfamiliar, Chu Mo said, "Wenyou, Mr. Lin just came here and has no idea what's going to happen next. You can go and talk to him."

Then, Li Ru narrated what had happened again orally, also giving some relevant details.

Following Li Ru's narration, Lin Mingwei had a general understanding of what happened. Especially when he heard about the group of corpses hanging in the forest, he was so angry that his teeth were itching.

"Ghost King Si, they are really a bunch of rats in the gutter, they can only hide and dodge, and now they are even more disregarding human lives, doing things like slaughtering the whole village, it really makes me angry."

Then he patted his chest and said to Li Ru, "Don't worry, Wenyou, we will go together on this trip. I want to see what this Hanging Corpse Ghost Willow is capable of."

Seeing that the two were ready to act, Chu Mo quickly stopped them and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go with you. We only caught some small minions last time, let's see if we can catch a big fish this time."

Li Ru looked at Chu Mo and said, "My Lord, isn't it a bit too hasty to follow them? That place is too strange, and no one knows whether the Ghost King's Division has made any backup plans. It's too dangerous."

Chu Mo smiled and said, "Compared to me, aren't those common people who haven't embarked on the path of cultivation more dangerous? If we retreat once danger comes, then what is the point of cultivation for us cultivators?"

Seeing that Chu Mo was determined to follow, Li Ru could only helplessly say, "My lord, this is absolutely not a joke. That corpse-hanging ghost willow is really very strange. If something goes wrong, I hope you will escape immediately. I will buy you time."

Chu Mo said helplessly: "Okay, don't forget that I am also a second-level cultivator, and I still have some means to save my life."

Finally, Chu Mo took Li Ru and Lin Mingwei out of the theater and rode their horses towards Songmu Village in Danyang County.

As for why Yao Guangxiao was not seen this time, it was because he seemed to have some enlightenment after returning from the battlefield, and with the blessing of the Bodhi seeds, he was in seclusion at this time.

Zhang Jue was also called out by Chen Gong, who said that he needed help from Taoist monks, and he has not returned yet.

It can be said that the figures of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism discussing Taoism that were often seen in the theater have disappeared. The entire inner courtyard has become much quieter after Chu Mo left.

An uninvited guest came to the governor's mansion today. He injured the guard at the gate and broke in.

Liufeng County Governor Sun Anzheng faced the newly appointed Haozhou Governor Chen Gong, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the mansion.
