Chapter 2662 Wang Yue Recognizes His Master
Hua Xiong and the others looked at Lin Mu without fear, eager to behead him with a single blow and make a great contribution!
But the command was in Li Ru's hands, so they had to obey.

However, Li Ru simply stared intently at Lin Mu. He had a premonition that if Lin Mu were truly angered, something terrible would happen; he even had a feeling that he would be captured! Even if the national guardian beast, the Heavenly Black Emperor Dragon, were to intervene, it would still be the same!

Lin Mu, on the other hand, seems to be subject to a restriction: unless there are special circumstances, he cannot use his trump card!
Seeing that Li Ru hadn't made a move, he was clearly waiting for something...

After some thought, Lin Mu realized he was waiting for Lü Bu. Li Ru wasn't planning to use the national guardian beast or the generals of the Xiliang faction... but instead, he was using Lü Bu to test Lin Mu!

After a long standoff, a figure rushed out from the depths of the palace like lightning, shot straight in, and appeared right next to Lin Mu.

The man held a strange longsword and moved with graceful ease.

"Wang Yue!!!" Li Ru's expression changed slightly when he saw the newcomer.

It turns out that this person was none other than the long-lost Imperial Tutor, Wang Yue!
Wang Yue exuded a powerful aura, his eyes sharp as swords.

"My lord, your subordinate is late in protecting you!" Wang Yue bowed to Lin Mu and said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Li Ruhua, Xiong, and the others were shocked. Imperial Tutor Wang Yue had actually acknowledged Lin Mu as his master!

It's important to understand that even with Liu Hong, Wang Yue merely served him and never formally acknowledged him as his master. Now, he's actually acknowledging Lin Mu as his lord!

Lin Mu gently patted his shoulder, his face full of joy, and said with a smile, "It's alright, I feel at ease with you here."

In truth, Lin Mu was somewhat pleasantly surprised when Wang Yue addressed him as "Lord." He wasn't certain Wang Yue would acknowledge him as lord; Wang Yue's scheme was handled by Xi Zhicai.

Clearly, Xi Zhicai handled the situation very well!

If Wang Yue was able to extricate himself from the battle in Liu Bian's palace, then Lu Bu must have been held up by other top-tier generals...

The situation is unfavorable!
Li Ru gritted his teeth, feeling extremely unwilling. But the situation was no longer under his control, and he knew that tonight's plan would likely fail again.

In fact, killing Liu Bian was not the core objective, nor was killing Lin Mu. The real purpose was to frame Lin Mu, make him the scapegoat, and completely deal with the mess left by Empress Dowager He and Liu Bian.

Although the real goal was not achieved and Liu Bian was lost, these are not very important.

From an official standpoint, Liu Bian was dead! Like Empress Dowager He, his identity had been revoked, and even if he were supported by Lin Mu to establish a separate Han court, few would recognize his legitimacy. It could be easily said that Lin Mu simply found someone to replace Liu Bian in order to divide the Han Dynasty.

"Lin Mu, although you escaped today, the world has already recognized you as a traitor, and you will find it difficult to establish yourself in the future," Li Ru said bitterly.

Lin Mu smiled dismissively: "I don't care how the world sees me. I will prove my innocence with my actions. As for Dong Zhuo, his evil deeds will be punished sooner or later."

"He can't be removed from General Wei's position."

"Wenyou, I'll say it again: my lord, you may surrender to him!" Lin Mu said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Hua Xiong and the others looked at Li Ru with suspicion.

Clearly, Lin Mu resorted to sowing discord at the very end.

"Alright...it's time to go!" Li Ru wanted to say something more, but Lin Mu interrupted him.

Then, Wang Yue grabbed Lin Mu directly, and the two of them disappeared in a flash of light, so fast that even Hua Xiong couldn't react.

"Sigh!!" Hua Xiong sighed heavily as he watched the two leave. His strategist, Li Ru, was always so slow and indecisive.

But is Li Ru really a procrastinator? No... Li Ru's decisiveness surpasses that of many others.

He was just wary of Lin Mu!

"My lord, I never expected Dong Zhuo to actually kill Liu Bian," Wang Yue said solemnly.

"The imperial fortune has been lost, and the Yongzhou Cauldron has been seized by Dong Zhuo. Liu Bian is no longer of any value; at most, he can only restrain Empress Dowager He. Now they are using such a vicious scheme just to make me the target of everyone's hatred," Lin Mu said with a faint smile.

If Li Ru's plan is followed, the next step is to portray Lin Mu as a traitor and call on the people of the world to join in the condemnation.

That would put Lin Mu in real danger.

But the timing is wrong... Li Ru miscalculated the timing. If it had been earlier, this plan might have succeeded.

But it was too late; Cao Cao had already survived his ordeal and returned to Dongjun.

At the same time, he had already contacted Yuan Shao and sent out proclamations to various prefectures and counties to denounce Dong Zhuo.

Although it hasn't been revealed yet, basically everyone who should have received the manifesto has received it.

The historical drama of heroes opposing Dong Zhuo is unfolding as scheduled!

Once the campaign against Dong Zhuo fully unfolds, the power struggles between various factions will be laid bare. Those ambitious warlords will begin to officially step onto the historical stage!
"My lord, Dong Zhuo's power is now immense. We need to unite all forces to contend with him," Wang Yue said, frowning.

“But… now that we’ve become traitors, will other forces cooperate with us?” Wang Yue asked again.

"It's alright, what's meant to happen will happen. Even if we become traitors, so what... even if we become enemies with all the lords of the world, so what..." Lin Mu's face showed no fear upon hearing this, but rather utterly calm. "Shuheng, our Great Wilderness territory has a solid foundation. We have a way out and the strength to contend for supremacy in the Divine Continent. No matter what, we are invincible." Lin Mu frankly told Wang Yue.

"Dong Zhuo and Li Ru's plan is too late at this point," Lin Mu said meaningfully.

Upon hearing this, Wang Yue nodded. Since the Great Wilderness Territory already had a countermeasure, he had nothing to worry about.

"My lord, when I enter the Great Wilderness territory, am I going to establish an intelligence department?" Wang Yue asked, changing his tone.

"Who told you you were going to set up an intelligence department?" Lin Mu asked, slightly taken aback.

"Uh... it was you people from the Otherworld who spread it..." Wang Yue said awkwardly.

Good heavens, Wang Yue actually knows the players' opinions on various historical figures!

Indeed, many players see Wang Yue as similar to the ruler of the Black Ice Platform in the Qin Dynasty.

However, the Great Wilderness already has the Night Shadow Legion, so there is no need to build another Black Ice Platform.

The Night Shadow Legion's organizational structure is mature and operating normally, so there's no need for Wang Yue to interfere.

Wang Yue's role needs to be changed. His ability to command an army is definitely lacking; becoming a fierce general on the battlefield is impossible. Training troops is even more impossible… and becoming an imperial tutor… well, Lin Mu doesn't have any children yet, so that won't work either.

Wang Yue's political and business acumen was utterly lacking...

To be honest, in Lin Mu's mind, Wang Yue's importance was not as great as that of legendary historical generals like Zang Ba and Jiang Qin...

Wang Yue's role can only be one: bodyguard!

Previously, Lin Mu's bodyguard was Huang Zhong. After all, Huang Zhong was a legion commander, and it wasn't very convenient for him to be by Lin Mu's side all the time. Now that Wang Yue has taken over, it couldn't be more suitable.

"Shuheng, you'll stay by my side from now on," Lin Mu said in a deep voice.

Wang Yue was startled upon hearing this. Lin Mu's words implied that he was to be made a guard. This position might seem unimportant, but being by the Dragon Lord's side meant hearing and seeing the most important events and latest developments in the entire Great Wilderness. This position was very important.

Even Guo Jia, Dian Wei, and others treated Cui Wu with great respect. Even though he was not a famous historical general and his strength was so weak that they looked down on him, he deserved their respect simply because he was the personal guard of their lord, Lin Mu.

"Yes!" Wang Yue nodded emphatically.

“My lord, my disciple Shi A had a somewhat unpleasant encounter with you before… this…” Wang Yue mentioned Shi A, implying something.

"At that time, we were just serving our own masters. I'm not a petty person, so I won't pursue the matter," Lin Mu said, waving his hand.

"How many apprentices do you have?" Lin Mu suddenly asked.

“Shi A is my eldest disciple. I also have seven other disciples, and in addition, there are thirty-eight nominal disciples…” Wang Yue immediately replied.

"How strong are they?" Lin Mu asked.

“Shi A has just entered the Divine Realm, but he still lacks the foundation and cannot comprehend the Primordial Spirit, so he has been unable to break through to the true Life Primordial Divine Realm,” Wang Yue sighed softly.

Yu Jin and the others who had met Shi A before had all reached the Divine General level, while he was still practically stuck in the same place... Their fates were completely different.

"It's alright. The Great Wilderness Territory has many ways to help him break through, and I won't be stingy with them. However, as the Great Wilderness Territory becomes more and more complete, opportunities also require sacrifices," Lin Mu said meaningfully.

“That’s how it should be!” Wang Yue nodded.

“The highest level among the other disciples is the initial stage of the Heaven Rank, and the lowest is the middle stage of the Earth Rank,” Wang Yue added.

“Previously, our resources, opportunities, aptitude, and destiny were basically fixed. Without any special changes, it would be difficult for them to make further progress…” Wang Yue sighed.

"Are they all willing to join the Great Wilderness Territory with you?" Lin Mu asked with a slight smile.

Resources and opportunities... Heh, the Great Wilderness Territory has no shortage of them at all!
“They’re all willing!” Wang Yue replied quickly.

In fact, as a master craftsman, one should not put all one's eggs in one basket.

Wang Yue had followed Lin Mu on many missions and knew a lot about Lin Mu's background. He thought it best not to put all his eggs in one basket, but he just laughed it off... If his apprentice didn't want to follow Lin Mu, then he would simply abandon that apprentice!

If you don't seize this greatest opportunity in your life, then you'll have no chance to become a master and disciple!

As if knowing what Wang Yue was thinking, Lin Mu smiled slightly.

"BOOM!!!" Just then, a huge roar came.

Wang Yue led Lin Mu to the main battlefield.
