The incident at the tea shop was so serious that it was reported to the local government.
If in peacetime, manpower is relatively sufficient, if a case involving a missing person occurs within the jurisdiction, the government will send additional manpower to solve the case for the sake of prestige - the person will be seen alive, and the body will be seen dead!
However, the current situation is special. Similar vicious incidents have increased sharply in a short period of time, and the government's manpower is obviously not enough. The search manpower is insufficient, and the investigation progress is slow. After all the busy work, no trace of the criminals was found in the tea shop, let alone the proprietress.
Anyone with a discerning eye will know at a glance that the boss lady is probably in danger.
I can't help but feel a little regretful.
The tea shop owned by this proprietress is very famous in the local area.
The tea she sells is made of solid ingredients and is of high quality and low price, but she is more famous for her appearance, temperament, talent and temperament.
When the tea shop first opened, many tea customers came because of the beauty of the proprietress. As time went by, those who came here with admiration gradually discovered that the proprietress was well-spoken and knowledgeable, and many of her insights were even appreciated by famous local talents.
Inspiring and enlightening.
Gradually, this tea shop gained a reputation.
It has become a place where local literati and poets hang out.
I heard that many people admired the landlady. They asked icemen to come to their door several times to talk to each other, and some rich and powerful people were even willing to promise to become their first wives. Unfortunately, the landlady remained affectionate and could not forget her late husband. The more she behaved like this, the more literati became.
Appreciate her single-mindedness, deep affection and loyalty, and lament that if she gets a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for. Those who fail to marry do not dare to take advantage of the pressure and rob her.
The proprietress’s tea shop just established itself.
Who could have expected such a tragedy to happen.
"Oh, God is so jealous of beauty..."
Everyone made a tacit agreement not to mention the situation and ending of the landlady.
With such beauty, how could the villain who took her away be so soft-hearted?
As for what's on your mind?
Only they themselves know that.
The onlookers felt sorry for a while, and the excitement gradually dissipated. Among the crowd, a tall and burly man also put a bamboo hat on his head, looked away from the tea shop, lowered his head and disappeared into the crowd. Gong Cheng did not expect the proprietress.
The sense of crisis was so great that he ran away without hesitation. There were still unsolved mysteries in his mind, and he would ask the other party to find out more when they meet next time.
With Gong Cheng's strength, it won't take much time to go back and forth.
However, it did take a while for him to come out this time.
Gong Cheng had just returned to his tent, and his calm gaze fell accurately on the darkness inside the tent. Then he turned his back and used his martial energy to make a fire and light the candle. As the soft light dissipated the darkness, a pair of dark eyes were revealed, which contained hidden meanings.
With anger.
The other party said in a strange tone: "General Gong is really dignified. As a general, you abandoned your soldiers at will and left without saying a word for five or six days. People who didn't know better thought you were collaborating with the enemy."
Gong Cheng did not take these words to heart.
It is normal for the other party to be angry.
The senior officials in Beimo could not control Gong Cheng and did not dare to control him, but they did not have to worry about embarrassing others. During his absence, the other party was probably scolded a lot. Those who have suffered unreasonable disasters without resentment can only be saints: "I am such a big man.
The general is just a false name, and he has neither soldiers nor generals under his command. I have no opinion and cannot give any advice on whatever combat strategy they set. When the army breaks out and sets up camp, just let me know and tell me what to do. I won't be there.
Being there is no different.”
Gong Cheng has experience in showing off bad things.
He spoke confidently and calmly, but the people listening were furious: "Gong Yunchi, aren't you going to explain yourself?"
Gong Cheng asked: "What do you want to explain?"
"Where have you been these past few days!"
"Liu Guan, this has nothing to do with you."
The woman in black clothes, known as Liu Guan, pressed the hilt of her sword and stepped forward, squinting: "If you don't answer, will I not know? As the general of the Northern Desert, why are you going to Kunzhou at this juncture?"
Gong Cheng was not surprised that his whereabouts were exposed.
The Liu Guan in front of her has always been thoughtful and scheming. She has a high status in Brother Tude's account and has a lot of available manpower. It is normal for her to not deal with herself and to keep an eye on her whereabouts. Perhaps, Liu Guan's move It's not all about personal vendetta.
Brother Tude has also criticized him a lot over the years.
Today, Brother Tude is no longer a humble proton, and has survived the difficult years of thin political capital. Gong Cheng is still important to him, but he is no longer as indispensable as a life-saver.
It is difficult to say that Liu Guan's behavior was not inspired by Brother Tude.
Gong Cheng said: "Dealing with personal matters."
When Liu Guan saw Gong Cheng using this excuse again, he felt even colder: "That day when Jinli County failed, General Gong also used 'private matters' to excuse himself. Your 'private matters' were to meet a widowed man." Woman? Are you meeting an old lover?"
Gong Cheng didn't expect that she would even check this level.
A kind reminder: "Stay away from that woman."
Although the landlady is an ordinary person and does not have the special abilities of a scribe or warrior, Gong Cheng never thinks that being able to contact people from the inner circle of the Gods Society is really ordinary. Even if she puts aside this level of identity, her previous job He still owns a butcher shop.
Compared with killing chickens and ducks, washing hands and making soup, people are better at peeling off human skin, or peeling off a whole human skin in one go. This ability requires talent, and more importantly, "diligence and hard work" to achieve " Practice makes perfect”.
It is not impossible for literary scholars to fall into the hands of ordinary people.
Liu Guan thought that Gong Cheng was protecting the proprietress.
He sneered and said: "Why are you so anxious? I really didn't expect that General Gong, who was indifferent to the beauty rewarded by Beimo and was sober and stoic to the outside world, turned out not to be really uninterested in beauty but to belong to his heart. I just mentioned it. Just one sentence and you panic?"
"If you are not afraid of death, you can try to touch her." Gong Cheng could not stop the person who insisted on seeking death. "But I can't guarantee what kind of consequences it will cause. Also, tell Weng Zhi. Let's He should not focus on one thing at the expense of the other, and make a mistake in what is important at the moment.”
Liu Guan's expression changed for a moment: "I will convey it."
After a while, the camp returned to peace.
Gong Cheng took a quick shower and then went to practice.
He didn't care whether Brother Tude would listen to his advice.
In the past, Brother Tude would be cautious, but now he is hard to say. His power and status will change people beyond recognition.
After Gong Cheng had circulated for more than a dozen days, he exhaled a deep breath and stopped practicing. It wasn't that he didn't want to continue, but that there was a breath nearby that forced him to stop. This breath was very strange, but vague.
It sent a chill down his spine.
Gong Cheng has not experienced this feeling for many years.
He stood up calmly and walked out of the tent.
At this moment, the bright moon is like water, like a light silver-white gauze draped over the human body, giving people a sense of loneliness and coldness. Gong Cheng has no intention of admiring the beautiful scenery of the wilderness, and casts his sharp eyes on the owner of the breath-this man is dressed in a bright silver robe.
Her hair is white with a hint of blue, and her whole body exudes a hazy glow. She is very young and can be said to be outstanding, but her eyes have an old look that does not match her appearance.
"Are you his descendant?"
This person's voice is also very strange.
At first glance it sounds young, but if you listen carefully it reveals a lot of vicissitudes of life.
There is an indescribable weirdness everywhere.
Gong Cheng had seen this kind of weirdness in another person before.
Gong Cheng also quickly realized who the "him" in the other person's mouth was, and the horror in his heart could not be described in words. He barely suppressed his emotions, but when he came back to his senses, he found that the clothes on his back were covered with sweat that had appeared from unknown time.
It gets wet and your throat becomes dry.
He licked his lips nervously.
Use saliva to relieve the dryness and tightness on your lips, and squeeze out a sentence from your throat: "Hello, Your Excellency! I am Gong Cheng, courtesy name Yunchi. The 'him' you are talking about refers to the one at Long Tomb Mountain?"
The visitor asked indifferently: "What else? The aura on your body is so strong that I can't even ignore it. I never expected that the reunion of old friends would be like this. I never expected that the stingy iron rooster would actually be willing to use this method to find someone.
successor."
He knew how much the other party valued cultivation.
Gong Cheng didn't respond, but there was a turmoil in his heart - the person in front of him was the foreign aid that Madam Shen said, and he didn't run away. He had thought about many possibilities, but he didn't expect it to be like this.
Gong Cheng got straight to the point: "Why did you suddenly come out?"
The visitor said: "You might as well take a guess."
Gong Cheng then guessed: "The Gods Association? But as far as I know, the seniors and the Gods Association had some grudges in the past, right?"
They don't like the meeting of gods.
A typical example is the person who gave Gong Cheng [the enlightenment].
This senior's hatred of the Society of Gods is second only to the Gongxi Clan. If one day he is in a good mood and thinks of his predecessor, who is also from the Gongxi Clan, the Society of Gods can be tied with the Gongxi Clan as the existence he hates most. He is in
Before he died, he muttered curses such as "We were all deceived, we were all deceived" and "Jimo Xing will not die well" - that senior was severely injured by Jimo Xing, who was from the Gongxi clan.
He was imprisoned in a prison called "Dragon Tomb Mountain" for decades at a time.
Gong Cheng later found out that besides the unlucky senior, there were four other people who had also been deceived, and each of them was an old monster with unpredictable strength. But apart from the Gods Association, he could not think of any other person or organization with such great reputation.
Ask the other party to help.
It's not entirely true that he came out of the mountain.
The aura of the person in front of me is stronger than my own, but not so strong that I can't compare to him. The other person should be an incarnation of the same spirit.
It is still an incarnation that is seventy-eight times as powerful as the original one.
This is enough to show the other party's determination to help the Northern Desert.
The visitor just laughed: "People's likes and dislikes are not fixed. Yesterday's enemies can also be today's allies, not to mention those enemies who were enemies a hundred years ago. No matter how great the hatred is, it is vulnerable to time...
"
But his intuition told Gong Cheng that things were not that simple.
Did the person in front of me also realize that he had been deceived?
Just when Gong Cheng was secretly guessing, the man suddenly asked: "Did he feel unwilling when he died?"
Gong Cheng: "It's not very peaceful."
His face is full of ferocity and hatred!
The man sneered: "Does that mean you won't die with your eyes in peace?"
Gong Cheng didn't dare to say anything at the moment, because the aura lingering around the other party was quite a precursor to the coming storm, and beneath the calm surface was a turbulent undercurrent: "What other last words does he have?"
Without waiting for Gong Cheng to answer anything, the man said to himself: "Should I ask you to kill all the Gongxi clan, leaving no one left?"
These words directly confirmed Gong Cheng's guess.
As expected, the other party knew that he had been deceived for hundreds of years.
Gong Cheng simply admitted: "Yeah."
The man asked: "What was the result?"
Gong Cheng replied: "We met unexpectedly a while ago and had a fight. Although there are only two people left in this clan, it is difficult to deal with them."
"Besides Gong Xiqiu, there is another person? Who?"
Gong Xiqiu had quite a reputation in the Northwest Continent a few years ago.
Gong Cheng nodded: "Looking at the methods used by the other party, it should be the rumored high priest of the Gongxi clan. His methods are treacherous."
I’m not sure about my frontal strength, but I’m really good at escaping.
If we want to catch these two people, it will not be easy without planning in advance.
There was finally a wave in the man's eyes, and Gong Cheng was startled by the flash of cold light: "The high priest of the Gongxi clan... haha, it is really difficult to deal with..."
He asked again: "Do you have any news about them?"
Gong Cheng also had a bad attitude when it came to hunting down the descendants of the Gongxi clan. He would just do it if he encountered one, and he would not actively look for it if he did not meet him. At present, there is no need to deliberately look for it. According to the intelligence,
Gong Xiqiu became Shen Tang's general.
It is bound to appear on the battlefield between the two countries.
All you need to do is wait and see.
This news has not spread yet, but as foreign aid, those who come here will know it sooner or later, and Gong Cheng has no need to hide it: "Gongxi Qiu is loyal to Kang State, and is probably the vanguard general in this battle. As for the mysterious high priest, currently
There is no accurate information yet, but according to my guess, there is a high probability that he will fight for Gong Xiqiu."
No need to run around to find it, it will be delivered to your door automatically.
"It just so happens that we end it together."
The visitor was unconvinced about this result.
Compared to Gong Xi Qiu, who is not as powerful as Gong Cheng, he is more afraid of the high priest of the Gong Xi tribe. Although these people are more gentle on the surface and seem to be able to defeat them with just one punch, in their hearts they are more crazy than the other, and they are desperate at every turn.
.
but--
Judging from Gong Cheng's description, the high priest was still immature.
If he were as good as those of those back then, he would be able to fight against Gong Xiqiu, not to mention Gong Cheng, even twenty Chehouhous.
The fact that the other party escaped only proves that he is not enough.
No matter how talented you are, if you have no room for growth, you will be treated like a waste, and you will end up with a corpse: "Both Gong Xiqiu and the contemporary high priest are on the battlefield? What is the relationship between the leader of Kang State and them?"
Gong Cheng thought for a long time and finally came up with a word.
"confidant?"
From Gong Cheng's point of view, these two people really didn't know each other without fighting. After several life-and-death fights, they developed feelings and turned enemies into friends.
When the visitor heard this word, he was in a daze for a moment.
But it soon turned into ridicule.
"It's not easy to be the confidant of the Gongxi clan." He couldn't help but feel curious about the leader of Kang State. He had lived for too many years and witnessed the rise and fall of countless countries on this continent. In his opinion, today's Kang State is also
Just one of them.
Destruction is the inevitable result.
After saying that, there was only silence between the two of them. Just as Gong Cheng was thinking about how to send the other person away, someone asked him if he was free in the past two days. Gong Cheng thought that the other person wanted to give him some advice and it was hard to refuse: "Recently,
It’s nothing trivial, do you have any instructions, senior?”
The visitor's eyes fell in a certain direction.
That is the location of Camel City.
Behind Camel City is the border fortress of Kang State.
"You come with me."
"The army has no orders to break out of the stronghold."
But the person who came just said chilling words indifferently: "Kill them all, it doesn't matter whether those trash come or not."
