Three Kingdoms Mythology World.

Although Liu Bei did not have top-notch strategists by his side and may have been plagued by bad luck, it is undeniable that Liu Bei was one of the most favored warlords by heaven and earth, and his life was exceptionally tough!

Most importantly, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were Liu Bei's chosen generals, not just extremely difficult to seize, but simply impossible to seize. Only if Liu Bei killed Zhang Fei, causing Guan Yu to sever ties with him, could their bond be broken.

But this situation is simply impossible...

"Zhu Xuan probably didn't know about the potential existence of the Heavenly Mandate General, so he continued to plot... Don't bring this upon yourself, buddy," Lin Mu thought to himself.

In fact, he was happy to see Zhu Xuan undermine the foundation of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, and would even lend a helping hand, but unfortunately, Zhu Xuan did not come looking for him.

Zhu Xuan, who always thought of himself as a high-class nobleman, did not respect Lin Mu at heart. He always felt that he was superior and disdained to cooperate with him.

If you put yourself in Zhu Xuan's shoes, you would also seek cooperation with Lin Mu. The enemy of my enemy is my friend!
Unfortunately, Zhu Xuan couldn't lower himself... His advisors must have thought of this, and it's clear he disagreed with the person in charge...

"After the last ambush, Zhu Xuan must have encountered some kind of opportunity... When I killed him, I didn't plunder his dragon luck..."

"However, given Zhu Xuan's background, he shouldn't be able to bring down Liu Bei and cause his ranking on the list of warlords to plummet so drastically... There must be someone else helping him behind the scenes..."

"Heh... You didn't come to me, so you have other helpers."

“Zhu Xuan, Zhu Xuan, you were involved in the Oath of the Peach Garden back then, but wasn’t I too? I was also involved back then, and now I’m entangled in karma. In fact, fate has already linked us together... If you had come to me, perhaps things would have been very different... What a pity…” Lin Mu said regretfully in his heart.

After experiencing the truth of the Origin Realm last time, he has changed somewhat. With the arrival of the Warring States period, it's time to use drastic measures when necessary!
He plotted against Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei; given the chance, he really would have dared to kill either Guan Yu or Zhang Fei!

Especially now that the bond between the three seems to have truly broken, and their destinies are undergoing some changes, this presents the best opportunity!

"What a pity!!" Lin Mu sighed inwardly.

"Should I contact Zhu Xuan now...? The communication system is blocked, I can't get in touch quickly...? Should I go offline? No, I'm already in this situation, I can't just go offline..." Lin Mu's thoughts kept swirling.

Just then, a thought flashed through Lin Mu's mind...

"This is Liu Bei's scheme!" Lin Mu was suddenly startled.

"First, use the tactic of severing ties to temporarily appease Zhu Xuan's scheme. Then, let Guan Yu and Zhang Fei participate in the plan to kill Dong Zhuo. Afterwards, if Dong Zhuo is truly killed, the Xiliang generals will not pursue Liu Bei, since the three of them are no longer brothers."

"Liu Bei, like me, secretly wanted to recruit generals from Xiliang, but did not want to get involved in the cause and effect of killing Dong Zhuo."

"This guy is actually quite shrewd," Lin Mu thought to himself as he glanced at Liu Bei.

Liu Bei, who was being looked at with a strange gaze by Lin Mu, felt a strange sensation rise within him and shuddered.

"What can I do if I don't want to... They think I'm not good enough for them... They want to find a new master." Liu Bei shook the back of his head, ignoring the fleeting feeling, and sneered, as if he had a great grudge against the two of them.

However, Lin Mu seemed to have discovered the truth. No matter how Liu Bei pretended, he said meaningfully, "Brother Xuande, you're brilliant! Killing two birds with one stone!"

"Hehe... I don't understand what General Lin is saying. What do you mean by killing two birds with one stone?" Liu Bei smiled modestly, bowing slightly as he spoke.

"On the contrary, General Lin was leisurely, looking down on all living beings like a celestial official in such a terrible battlefield... completely unaffected by the outside world..."

"Heh...we're both involved...how can we not be affected..."

"Brother Xuande, since you don't want Guan Yu and Zhang Fei anymore, then I won't be polite," Lin Mu teased.

"Hehe... General Lin, please do as you please... The two men are indeed strong and have a solid foundation, but their character and personality are too poor... They are not fit for important tasks." Liu Bei continued to belittle the two men.

Lin Mu was still staring intently at Liu Bei, and when he said those words, a red glint flashed in his eyes…

Sure enough, Liu Bei, to some extent, fell for Zhu Xuan's trap!
However, Liu Bei may have discovered this and continued to pretend... or he might have been occasionally influenced, but overall it was fake!

"General Lin, I must take my leave now. Brother Wentai has invited me over," Liu Bei said softly, glancing up at the sky.

"Okay." Lin Mu didn't stop him and nodded.

Liu Bei left quickly.

After Liu Bei left, Lin Mu immediately took out the pages of the Qiankun Mother-Child Book and contacted others. Although it was a bit late, he still didn't let the opportunity slip by.

Soon, the people from the Great Wilderness Territory contacted Ning Xinhua and others who were outside, and conveyed Lin Mu's instructions.

Afterwards, Lin Mu observed Liu Bei, Sun Jian, Yuan Shu, and others... They were whispering and talking amongst themselves, seemingly discussing something...

Lin Mu looked at Liu Bei, raising an eyebrow slightly: "You didn't borrow my luck... It seems you already have someone better in mind..."

In fact, the moment he heard Liu Bei's voice, he thought Liu Bei was coming to borrow his luck.

Unexpectedly, Liu Bei didn't borrow any luck... he just made a brief greeting.

And when he joined forces with Sun Jian, Yuan Shu, and others, it seemed he didn't benefit from their good fortune...

In other words, Liu Bei's "ideal person" was someone much higher up!

"Dong Zhuo... Wang Yun... Lü Bu..." Lin Mu repeated to himself.

"Dong Zhuo...it's possible, but he will fail. Because Dong Zhuo is now the emperor of the Great Qi Dynasty, albeit a false one, he is still considered the supreme ruler. His attempt to borrow the emperor's favor will definitely fail..."

“Wang Yun… or Lü Bu… but that doesn’t make sense either. If we borrow the fortune of Lü Bu and Wang Yun, then the main credit for killing Dong Zhuo would belong to Liu Bei. He would be deeply tainted by the karma of killing Dong Zhuo. How would he recruit Xiliang generals afterward?” Lin Mu was very puzzled at this moment.

Unfortunately, what Lin Mu didn't know at that moment was that Liu Bei wasn't thinking that far ahead. Recruiting generals from Xiliang was a joke... He only wanted to participate in the great cause of killing Dong Zhuo, restoring the Han Dynasty, and reviving the prestige of the Han Dynasty.

The schemes he was subjected to were passive, but he was actually affected and revealed his true feelings!

……

Beneath the underground palace, Zhu Xuan, his face glowing with health, received a system notification. After saying goodbye to everyone, he logged off on the spot.

Zhu Xuan, who had just emerged from the mythical world, saw his father waiting beside the nutrient pod.

"Xuan'er, Lin Mu has contacted us, wanting to get involved in the severing of ties between Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei," Zhu Xuan's father, Zhu Xiang, said softly.

Lin Mu's initiative to contact them surprised them, but they also took it very seriously, so they immediately contacted Zhu Xuan.

"He contacted us on his own initiative? How did he discover the severing of ties? Did someone else tell him? Or do we have a traitor among us?" Zhu Xuan was somewhat drowsy, but still quite lucid, and immediately grasped the key point and asked.

"We didn't leak it. This is a top-secret plan, and we wouldn't spread it. It must have been Lin Mu's side who guessed it from the changes in the Heavenly Lords Ranking," Zhu Xiang said solemnly.

"There's already a lot of speculation about this on the Battle.net forums, and some skilled players have already figured out that you're the one who caused Liu Bei's downfall," Zhu Xiang added.

Because of the communication and forum restrictions, Zhu Xuan was unaware of the situation outside.

"Hmph!!!" Zhu Xuan snorted coldly.

"What did Lin Mu say?" After giving a cold snort, Zhu Xuan still got to the point.

Since Lin Mu took the initiative to come and cooperate, we might as well take a look at his proposal.

Afterwards, Zhu Xiang relayed the message to Zhu Xuan.

"What? He gets all the Soul Talismans and loot from killing Guan Yu and Zhang Fei? He's getting nothing for free?!"

"Impossible...impossible!!" Zhu Xuan stood up excitedly and waved his hand after hearing Zhu Xiang's message.

He even wanted to recruit Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to his ranks... Set a trap to kill them both? Impossible!!!

"Xuan'er, the Advisory Council has calculated that the success rate of recruiting Guan Yu and Zhang Fei is only 10%. That's only if you're sworn brothers with them and the system recognizes it, which is why the success rate is so high..." Zhu Xiang couldn't help but tease Zhu Xuan.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Xuan said in a deep voice, "Father, there are some things I haven't revealed, things I can't share with you and the Advisory Council, which is why you don't know the actual situation... This time, I'm 80% confident I can recruit Zhang Fei and Guan Yu!!!"

"From now on, I am the King of Yizhou!!!" (End of Chapter)
