Only now did the young man realize that there was no one around him, and all his men were lying on the ground.
Gu Zheng will not kill innocent people indiscriminately, but he is definitely not compassionate. People who offend him will not let go easily. Another point is that Gu Zheng also protects his shortcomings. Wu You was the first person he accepted in the prehistoric era.
For so many days, I have been following him around, waiting on him in front of me and behind my back. There is no credit but hard work.
Seeing Wu You being beaten so badly, his anger had already risen.
He was not the only one who was angry, Tao was too, but he was held back by Gu Zheng. It was okay for him to take action, but it was just a lesson. If Tao took action, he might kill someone. Gu Zheng is not afraid of killing people, but he cannot kill people rashly.
"You guys, don't mess around. I'm telling you, I'm from the Yan family. If you mess with me, you'll all be finished!"
"Yan family?"
Gu Zheng's brows twitched. One of the five major families in Fucheng had the surname Yan. He had already known about this in Longhu Town. Looking at him like this, it goes without saying that he must be a member of the Yan family. If it had been anyone else, he wouldn't have dared to go there.
The city is so rough.
Gu Zheng didn't know exactly how powerful the Yan family was in the city, but he knew one thing. If he wanted to live here, it would be impossible to keep a low profile.
This made him very depressed. Unlike before, he could do whatever he wanted. After returning to the ancient times, many things did not develop as he thought. For example, he wanted to go to Fucheng secretly, but found out that it would harm Aunt Cui.
, went to listen to the sermon, and found out that it was a conspiracy.
He escaped and killed half of the people in Huiyuan Village. Now he wants to live a low-key life in Fucheng, but he is disrupted by the Yan family again.
Gu Zheng will never compromise, but they have offended the top forces in the city. If they do not compromise and want to live in the city, the result can be imagined, and there will inevitably be conflicts.
"Wu You, they bullied you today, I will seek justice for you!"
With the decision made, Gu Zheng no longer retreats. Since it is impossible to keep a low profile, then it should be high-profile. The five major families in Fucheng will be changed to four families in the future.
"Ma Duo, tie them all to the carriage and follow me into the inner city!"
Gu Zheng gave Ma Duo instructions again. In the inner city, there was only one family there, the owner of Fucheng, and he couldn't keep a low profile, so he kept a high profile, at least so that these people would not dare to provoke him in the future. This had advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage is that it will be more convenient in the future and it will be easier to find resources. The disadvantage is that his identity will be exposed. No matter if monsters or other people come here in the future, he will probably have to come forward. This is also the reason why he wanted to live in seclusion before, for fear of trouble.
He is just afraid of trouble, not trouble. He has the Life and Death Bo and the Immortal Killing Gourd, so he is not afraid even if he faces the Golden Immortal. Now no one knows how powerful these two treasures are, so they will not be defensive, which is a convenience for him.
.
Unlike later generations, when someone takes out the Immortal Killing Gourd, he may run away, or attack quickly. Knowing that he has a life and death problem, he will not reveal his birth date and other information, or come up with a fake name to fool Gu Zheng.
More trouble.
Now, he doesn't have to worry about this.
Gu Zheng's carriage was still here, but it was impounded by people from this shop. He just happened to catch the young man surnamed Yan and headed towards the inner city.
Gu Zheng and Tao were both sitting in the carriage, and no one else could see them, but when they saw a group of people catching the young master of the Yan family and tying him up, they were all talking there, especially when they knew they were going
The direction was toward the inner city, and countless people pointed out their fingers, saying that they had the guts.
The Yan family is not only a large family in the city, but also the in-laws of the An family. The mother of the young master of the Yan family is named An.
Gu Zheng also heard these words, but he didn't pay attention at all. Since he was high-profile, he would be high-profile, let alone the Yan family, or the An family. If he didn't give him an explanation, they would just disappear.
The current ancient struggle has this confidence.
It's not like the prehistoric times of later generations. Almost every country has a national master to protect it. Even in the prehistoric times of later generations, there will be no immortals permanently living in such a small town. At most, they will just pass by.
The two carriages walked forward slowly, followed by hundreds of people watching the excitement, and more and more people followed. Finally, there were hundreds of people, and the streets were blocked.
The inner city is not far away, right in the center of the city, and we arrived in a short time. It is like a small walled city, with walls more than two meters high, and a city gate with four guards standing at the door.
"For what?"
Before the carriage arrived, two guards with knives came forward to question him, while Ma Duo in front looked at the carriage.
"Get in!"
Gu Zheng said lightly, Ma Duo stopped talking and drove the carriage inside. Wu You was injured. Gu Zheng had simply treated him and was now resting in the carriage.
"Be bold!"
When the two guards saw each other not stopping, they just roared. Both of them moved aside unnaturally, as if a strong force pinched their necks, making them unable to breathe. The following words could no longer be said, nor could they.
Couldn't stop the carriage.
The other two guards quickly drew their swords, but unfortunately they retreated automatically before the swords came out. The two of them retreated continuously until they reached the gate of the inner city.
Ma Duo drove the carriage, looked at the two guards who were also unable to move, and entered the inner city directly.
The guards at the city gate failed to stop these people, and then the carriage drove directly into the inner city. The people following behind were dumbfounded. They dared to follow here, but they did not dare to enter the inner city. The inner city is Anjia's territory, and here
If Fucheng offends the An family, it is tantamount to seeking death.
"Who dares to break into the inner city!"
Another group of soldiers ran out from inside. These were the guards of Anjia. There were at least hundreds of such guards in the inner city to protect Anjia.
"Step aside!"
Gu Zheng shouted in the carriage. These people involuntarily gave up a passage that was not theirs. A powerful force separated them from the middle. No one could resist it. They all leaned to both sides, many of them.
The person still fell to the ground.
Some people drew their swords, but did not dare to step forward. They were not stupid and had already seen that something was wrong.
Ma Duo drove the carriage directly to the first main hall in the inner city. This was the place where the An family held discussions and where the five major families usually managed the city.
The An family is the lord of the city, and the five major families are equivalent to the deputy lords of the city, and together they form the strength of the entire city.
The An family accounts for about 30% of the soldier strength, with more than 1,800 people belonging to them. The remaining five families have a combined strength of 4,000 people, with an average of 800 per family, which is very balanced.
The six families jointly manage the city, which means that no one can compete with them except the six families. Mr. Yan happened to be in his shop today. When Wu You came to inquire about it, he saw that ivory was a good product and came up with the idea of occupying it.
My thoughts were that it was not like I had never done something like this before. I knew they were robbing openly and there was nothing others could do about it.
As long as you don't rob other family members, it'll be fine. Even if you do, the most you can do is apologize and you won't start a war over this matter.
"Let your master come out!"
Gu Zheng stepped out of the carriage and held Tao's hand. No one expected that the people in the carriage were actually two children, who looked very young.
"If you don't come out for a quarter of an hour, your Anjia will disappear!"
Gu Zheng said something again, his voice was not loud and his tone was not strong, but everyone who listened shuddered violently in their hearts, and a fear quickly rose in their hearts.
Gu Zheng is a person who has cultivated to the realm of quasi-sage. Now he doesn't say anything, but the majesty of the past is still there. Even though his strength is far less than before, his temperament is still there, and it is not something that these ordinary people can resist.
.
"Yes Yes!"
Some people agreed and ran away crawling. Everyone had a feeling that if their master couldn't come within a quarter of an hour, all of them would really disappear.
Of course, Gu Zheng was not a murderer. He only said that everyone in the An family had disappeared, but did not say that he would definitely kill them. If he sent all these people thousands of miles away or locked them up somewhere else, they would also disappear.
After a while, a dozen people hurriedly walked over. The leader was a well-kept man, who looked to be in his fifties or sixties and was well-kept.
"I, the master of the An family, An Pin, did not know that the great immortal was coming. His crime deserves death!"
As soon as the man came to Gu Zheng, he knelt down immediately, and all the people following him also knelt down.
The head of the An family is a smart man. From the servant's description, he can tell that the people who came this time are not ordinary people. How can ordinary people just push away so many soldiers without even seeing them?
After pushing it aside, it turned out that Anpin was actually over sixty years old. He was already a long-lived man in this era, and he was well-informed. He had once met a real immortal cultivator.
He is not an immortal, but he is a cultivator of immortality. He is very powerful and cannot be resisted by ordinary people. According to what the cultivator said, once you become an immortal, you can fly to the sky and escape from the earth, and you can do anything.
Regardless of whether they are immortals or not, it is right to call them great immortals. The other party cannot be a monster. If it were a monster, they would have suffered a long time ago and would not be still waiting for them here.
"It says inside!"
Gu Zheng directly dragged Tao into the hall, followed closely by An Pin and other An family members. Before they could say anything, someone ran out from outside.
"Master, people from the Yan family are here, saying that their young master has been kidnapped here. Now they are going to come in and take their young master away, and take away the person who captured their young master!"
The visitor spoke quickly, but An Pin didn't speak and looked directly at Gu Zheng.
He did not look down upon Gu Zheng because of his young age. The last time he met the immortal cultivator, he had an eight-year-old child with him. The eight-year-old child broke a stone easily, which was very scary.
"I captured their young master, and I am the one they want to bring with them. Let them come in and bring them here!"
Gu Zheng said softly, and the man looked at Gu Zheng in surprise, and then looked at An Pin.
"Go quickly, you want to die!"
Seeing that he didn't move, An Pin cursed angrily, and then the servant hurriedly ran out and did as Gu Zheng said.
After a while, more than 20 people came outside. Three people entered the hall, and the other 20 people were waiting outside.
"Uncle, you are here too!"
The visitor seemed a little surprised to see An Pin, and hurriedly said hello to An Pin. The six major forces in the city have long been married to each other. You have me, and I have you. It is the same for every family.
An Pin glanced at the three people who came over and shook his head secretly.
The three people who came were all young people. The oldest was only twenty-five and the youngest was nineteen. They were several young men from the Yan family. They happened to be away from home. Outside, they heard that their younger brother or younger cousin had been kidnapped.
He took it to the inner city and immediately led people to chase him.
An Pin was still thinking that if the head of the Yan family was here, he would never do this. He dared to arrest their people and come to the inner city. Could he be a simple person? He didn't know what happened, but this
The Yan family really hit a brick wall this time and actually offended the cultivators.
This time, even he couldn't save the Yan family.
"Wu You, Wang San, tell Master An what happened, and he will seek justice for you!"
Gu Zheng sat on a chair and seemed to be looking at the main hall. He only said something to Wu You and the others. The three young masters of the Yan family who came in were also stunned for a moment. They didn't know who these two children were and why they were sitting in the main hall.
on the main seat.
"Yes, sir!"
Wu You was supported by Ma Duo, first he clasped his fists at Gu Zheng, and then he clasped his fists at An Ping. An Ping didn't dare to support him, so he clasped his fists in return, which made the three young masters from the Yan family even more confused.
"I want to sell some things in the city today..."
Wu You talked about today's events simply and quickly. It was not complicated and he finished it in a moment. An Pin already understood it all.
The young master of the Yan family became greedy when he saw someone else's good stuff. As a result, his backstage became even tougher and there were people cultivating immortality behind him, so he was arrested.
This little immortal cultivator captured Mr. Yan and brought him here. An Pin's mind was already spinning rapidly, and he soon understood that the Yan family might not be able to be saved.
If they only deal with a young master of the Yan family, there is no need to come here at all. They just need to ask the Yan family to give them an explanation. It is impossible for the Yan family to offend an immortal cultivator because of a family disciple. They will definitely punish the young master of the Yan family severely.
Even kill to save the whole family.
But when they came here, when they settled down, the six major forces in the city might be broken.
But this kind of breakup is not a bad thing for their An family. Everyone has said that he should be the one to administer justice. Isn’t it clear how to do it? The Yan family cannot stay and must be eliminated. But it is just to eliminate the Yan family, not
He will blame Anjia and other families.
Moreover, by getting rid of the Yan family, the An family can also annex the Yan family's power and increase their own power.
If this is done, the other four families will not dare to come out to oppose it. After all, the An family is not going to war because of their own desires this time, but because of the request of the Immortal. If they dare to object, it is equivalent to becoming the enemy of the Immortal.
As long as they dare, it would be better to jump out. He knows the power of the Great Immortal. Maybe they will be the only ones settling down in Fucheng in the future, without the other big families.
But he also understands that this kind of thing will not happen. Those four families are not fools, they are all old foxes, and they will not bump into them so stupidly.
"Come here, arrest everyone in the Yan family!"
After figuring it out, An Pin immediately gave the order. The three young masters of the Yan family were caught and tied up before they knew what was going on. They hurriedly asked them, but soon, even their mouths were blocked.
"Anwu, take five hundred soldiers and go to the Yan family immediately to get people. All Yan family disciples will not be left behind!"
"Anhua, take two hundred soldiers and go to the barracks immediately. Together with our Anjia people, we must control the five hundred soldiers of the Yan family in the barracks!"
"An Zhong, An Feng, An Qi, An Hu, the four of you go to the other four families respectively and tell them what happened today. If they are willing to cooperate, it is better. If they are not willing to cooperate, just tell them!"
An Pin quickly gave instructions, and soon many people walked out of the hall. After giving the instructions, he turned around, clasped his fists and bent deeply towards Gu Zheng, "As the director of this city, the An family wants to have this kind of people in the city."
It is a dereliction of duty to wait for banditry. The Yan family is the mastermind of this matter, so we must not be lenient. Once everyone in the Yan family is caught, they will be dealt with by the immortal!"
An Pin was indeed a smart man, but having said that, a householder who could manage a city would not be stupid. He understood what he meant very quickly and did what Gu Zheng wanted him to do.
"The acts of banditry should indeed be punished, but it is up to the sufferer to decide how to punish them!"
Gu Zheng pointed at Wu You, and An Pin was stunned for a moment. He immediately understood what Gu Zheng meant, and immediately clasped his fist at Wu You and repeated what he just said.
Wu You looked at Gu Zheng with some confusion, and Gu Zheng nodded lightly to him.
With this nod, Wu You understood what Gu Zheng meant.
The purpose of Guzheng is to establish prestige, and the Yan family is used to establish prestige, so that they will not be bullied in the city in the future. Since it is to establish prestige, it must be dealt with seriously. Wu You is not Ma Duo, if Ma Duo is allowed to handle it,
Most likely the person would be released.
Wu You was originally a man who wanted to seize the throne. How kind-hearted would be a man who could attack a child?
"After they are caught, don't send them here. Just find a place to dispose of them. In short, if one day we see anyone directly related to the Yan family, that will be the time when your An family will perish!"
After working with Gu Zheng for a long time, Wu You also learned some of Gu Zheng's speech methods. After he finished speaking, Gu Zheng secretly nodded with satisfaction.
The Yan family can't stay, but they don't have to kill them themselves. Let the An family make the knife. Wu You didn't explicitly say that he wanted to kill all of them. He only told the people in the An family that if you see a person from the Yan family in the future, you will kill them all in the An family.
Finished.
In order to protect themselves, there is no need to guess what the An family will do. They have not yet reached the point of risking their entire family for the sake of the Yan family.
Sure enough, An Pin already understood what Wu You meant and immediately agreed.
"Master An, I hope what happened today is just an ordinary thing. Wu You, you came all the way to join the An family after becoming a benefactor to your An family. In the end, you were bullied by the Yan family. In order to repay your kindness, you, the An family, punished Yan severely.
Family, do you understand?"
Gu Zheng said something to An Pin again. An Pin just raised his head and understood what Gu Zheng meant.
Gu Zheng wanted to take himself out and make this matter have nothing to do with him. He did all this to help Wu You vent his anger. The reason he was just a benefactor was a bit far-fetched.
"Great Immortal, can you say that Wu You is not only the son of my benefactor, but also a servant of the Immortal Mountain far away. That's why the Yan family was severely punished?"
He was just a benefactor, but the reason was untenable, and the people were not all fools. They would definitely make random guesses when the time came. It would be better to just say that he was related to the immortal, and just put the immortal in a fairy mountain far away, not in the city.
This will remove Gu Zheng and provide a reasonable explanation. The most important thing is that from now on, when Wu You is in the city, no one will dare to provoke him.
