After speaking, Zhao Fu threw over a few large bags filled with gold coins. The ten or so people excitedly took the bags and looked at the gold coins inside before quickly nodding and agreeing to Zhao Fu's orders.
These ten or so people were all leaders of Great Shun's players. Players were unreliable, and there were no punishments for going back on their word. Perhaps only after the Heaven Awaken World devoured the real world and their lives were truly in danger would they become loyal.
Li Mu didn't trust players too much, so he only arranged for a few leaders. The core members of his faction were still indigenous residents, or he personally controlled them. He wouldn't give any power to players.
Time gradually passed, and soon, it was the third day.
Great Shun's situation was quite bleak, and almost everyone hid within the Great Shun Town. This was because the reward for killing Great Shun's members had been increased to two gold coins per person, making people even crazier.
Great Shun's 40,000 players had been forced to retreat, and only 7,000 remained!
2,000 of them were completely loyal to Great Shun, while the other 5,000 were people that Zhao Fu had bribed. This was all because of the ten or so leaders, who had incited others to betray Great Shun.
This made Li Mu feel quite pleased that so many players were willing to follow him.
Zhao Fu felt that it was time to act, and he had Qin's soldiers enter Green Apricot in batches. This had to be covered up, or else if so many soldiers entered Green Apricot, they might attract the attention of the system main cities.
…
"This is for you!" Zhao Fu took out a small bottle of medicine and a bag of money and handed them to Li Gaole.
Li Gaole held the bag of money in one hand and the bottle of medicine in the other, looking quite hesitant. He felt quite conflicted about Zhao Fu telling him to poison Li Mu.
He understood that Li Mu had some power in the real world, and revealing Great Shun's location was already a big risk. Now that he wanted to poison him, he had completely offended him, and Li Mu definitely wouldn't let him off.
Seeing this, Zhao Fu understood what Li Mu was thinking, and he calmly smiled as he said, "After this is done, I'll give you 10,000 gold coins. I'll give you 10,000 gold coins. "
This caused all of the hesitation on Li Gaole's face to disappear. 10,000 gold coins was one billion gold coins, and with this money, he could escape from Great Shun, and Li Mu wouldn't be able to do anything to him. Li Gaole smiled and nodded as he agreed.
…
Night! It was pitch-black all around, and there were a few stars twinkling in the sky. There was also a crescent moon that gave off a faint moonlight, and it seemed as if some ferocious beast had appeared in the forest. It gave off a powerful aura, causing all of the surrounding insects to stop chirping, and it was terrifyingly quiet.
Zhao Fu and his 40,000 soldiers killed some of Great Shun's sentries and came to a few kilometers away from the Great Shun Town. They first had to deal with the villages around the Great Shun Town.
These villages were a few kilometers away from the Great Shun Town, but with them blocking his way, Zhao Fu couldn't go around them. As such, he could only choose to break through.
This time, Zhao Fu had made all the necessary preparations and had brought over 3,000 Assassins. It was around 10 PM, and most of the villagers were asleep. Just like in ancient times, there were not many activities to pass the time at night, so they only rested after sunset.
Zhao Fu ordered the 3,000 Assassins to sneak into these villages and kidnap those who they could and kill those who they couldn't. Zhao Fu left a portion of his soldiers here in case they were attacked by these villages when they attacked the Great Shun Town.
They stealthily advanced until they were close to the Great Shun Town. Zhao Fu wasn't in a hurry to act, and he instead waited for an opportunity.
…
Within the Great Shun Town, Li Gaole and a few others carried a few plates of food to Li Mu's residence. In actuality, these Legatees had made preparations to prevent assassinations, and this was especially so for the Lord's food.
Li Gaole had killed the people who had delivered the food, or else he wouldn't have found an opportunity to poison the food. Because the indigenous residents were loyal to Li Mu, they couldn't find other indigenous residents to deliver the food, and they could only deliver the food themselves.
Normally, some people would have noticed this, but because of the current situation, everyone's attention was focused on how to deal with the current situation, so no one noticed Li Gaole.
Moreover, Li Gaole was one of Li Mu's old subordinates, so he trusted him quite a bit. As such, they were able to successfully deliver the food to Li Mu's room.
Right now, Li Mu was feeling quite depressed as he drank wine. Within his embrace lay a beautiful woman – she was the boss of the pastry shop. Because of her superior looks, she had long since become Li Mu's woman.
When Li Gaole and the others brought the food in, Li Mu didn't pay much attention to them. He poured himself a cup of wine and prepared to drink it.
This caused Li Gaole and the others to feel quite delighted – they had never thought that their plan would succeed so easily.
However, at that moment, the boss in Li Mu's embrace stopped him and said worriedly, "That's enough, Your Majesty. Don't drink like this; it'll harm your body. "
Li Mu stopped and let out a long sigh as he said, "If I knew this would happen … I wouldn't have believed that bastard Su Yan's words. Now that we're being targeted by Qin, I'm afraid that Great Shun will perish in my hands. Let's wait a few more days. If things don't improve, we'll have to relocate Great Shun."
The boss of the pastry shop lightly nodded and hugged Li Mu. She looked up at Li Mu and said, "No matter where Your Majesty goes, I'll follow you. I believe that Your Majesty will be able to restore Great Shun and even surpass your ancestors."
Li Mu roared with laughter, raised his glass again, and was about to drink.
This caused Li Gaole and the others, who had just calmed down, to once again become nervous.
"Your Majesty, don't drink anymore. You've drunk enough today, and I'm worried about you. "Suddenly, the boss in Li Mu's embrace cut him off.
This caused the hearts of Li Gaole and the others to sink even further.
When Li Mu heard the boss, he lightly laughed and stopped. He looked up and saw Li Gaole and the others, and he frowned as he asked, "Why did you bring food here?"
Li Gaole felt quite startled, and he smiled as he said, "This subordinate was on his way here, so I brought some food as well."
"Is that so?"
Li Mu thought for a moment before raising his head. A cold light shot out of his eyes as he looked at Li Gaole and the others, and he ordered the guards beside him, "Capture them!"
Li Gaole and the others immediately understood that their plan had been exposed, and they turned to run. However, they were surrounded by the guards, and they could only resist. However, they were killed by the guards in the end.
After Li Gaole died and returned to the real world, he immediately took a large amount of money and boarded a plane to another country.
Within the Heaven Awaken World, Li Mu's expression was cold, and he felt that something was off. He ordered all of his soldiers to gather and head to the player faction's territory.
The ten or so leaders had been waiting for news from Li Gaole this entire time, so they quickly found out that Li Gaole had failed and that Li Mu had gathered all of his soldiers.
The 5,000 players could only pick up their weapons and charge towards the City Gates. The entire Great Shun Town immediately fell into chaos, and cries sounded out everywhere as fires broke out in many places.
