"Cao Ying?" Hearing this name, Gu Chen suddenly looked confused and couldn't remember who this person was.
Mainly, he killed too many people. How could he remember the names of so many people who died under his hands?
Seeing this, Luo Feng was a little helpless and said: "Brother Gu, this Cao Ying is Cao Zhen's bodyguard, sent by Ping Xihou to protect Cao Zhen's safety."
Hearing this, Gu Chen suddenly realized who Cao Ying was.
When he left Tiandu and went to Qiongtian Mansion, Cao Ying led a group of people to besiege him, and they were all killed by Gu Chen.
Since it was Cao Ying who placed a reward on himself in the Bloody Clothes Tower, it couldn't be Cao Ying's own intention, and it could only be Cao Zhen who sent him there.
In this way, Gu Chen felt that Cao Zhen's death was not unjust, and he actually had murderous intentions towards him.
Seeing Gu Chen's indifferent expression, Luo Feng reminded him: "Brother Gu, don't feel indifferent. No matter how you say it, in Ping Xihou's view, you are inseparable from Cao Zhen. After all, Cao Zhen was with you during his lifetime."
There is a grudge.”
After saying this, Luo Feng took a deep look at Gu Chen. As for the grievances between Gu Chen and Cao Zhen, he also investigated clearly during this period. With Gu Chen's character, if he talks about Cao Ying's
Death has nothing to do with Gu Chen, Luo Feng will never believe it.
Hearing this, Gu Chen also frowned. He could naturally tell what Luo Feng was thinking. After all, Luo Feng didn't hide anything. Even Luo Feng guessed that Cao Zhen's death was probably related to Gu Chen, not to mention the deep scheming.
The unpredictable Ping Xihou.
Gu Chen is now very suspicious. Ping Xihou also thinks that Gu Chen intentionally killed Cao Zhen?
Or in other words, after investigating what happened, can Ping Xihou discover that the main reason for Cao Zhen's death was Gu Chen.
This is something Gu Chen has to consider.
After all, Pingxihou is very powerful. Although he sits at the border all year round, there are many people who support him in the court. Moreover, not to mention other things, the border area of Yanzhou alone is managed by Pingxihou. It is impregnable. In that area
, even if the garrison envoy of Yanzhou goes there, his words may not be as effective as those of Marquis Pingxi.
It can be said that there, Ping Xihou is the king and the local emperor. He alone has the final say on everything at the border. He has hundreds of thousands of loyal and elite troops under his command. His strength can be said to be extremely powerful.
Moreover, even Ping Xihou himself is not weak in cultivation, at least in the Return to True Realm, and possibly even higher. It is not impossible to reach the realm of a martial arts master.
However, since Emperor Xia went into seclusion, he has not come to China and Beijing to report on his duties for a long time, and few people know about his specific situation.
Gu Chen also read some files about Ping Xihou in Jingtiansi, and knew that this man was deeply scheming and ruthless. If he found out that Gu Chen killed his only legitimate son, he would definitely not let Gu Chen go.
Not taking action now can only mean that the right time has not yet come.
Gu Chen's eyebrows furrowed slightly. If Luo Feng hadn't pointed it out, Gu Chen would never have imagined that there was already a powerful enemy hiding in the dark, eyeing him.
However, even if Gu Zhong was given another chance and returned to the original scene, he would never hesitate. He would still kill Cao Zhen as he had chosen before.
After all, at that time, Cao Zhen was too dangerous. If Gu Chen left Tiandu, Cao Zhen would definitely find a way to attack his second uncle Gu Chengfeng and his family.
As the Inspector General of Jingtian Division, Gu Chen could not stay by his second uncle's side all the time.
Furthermore, at that time, Cao Zhen had already targeted Gu Chen and wanted to kill Gu Chen. If Gu Chen did not take the initiative, when Cao Zhen was fully prepared, he might be the one who died.
"Brother Gu, Ping Xihou is not an ordinary person. According to our Hongchen Tower intelligence, he has been accumulating strength over the years and seems to be preparing something secretly. You must be careful in everything." Luo Feng looked solemn.
warned.
Gu Chen nodded. He was already aware of the great threat posed by Ping Xihou. However, at the height of his power in Jingtiansi, he had not only made great achievements, but also revealed his powerful talents. Without any evidence, Ping Xi
Even if Hou wants to touch Gu Chen, it is absolutely impossible. Neither Jingtiansi nor Daxia will agree.
Ping Xihou is definitely not that stupid. He dares to fall out with Da Xia just because of Gu Chen.
The reason why he sent his only legitimate son to Tiandu was because he wanted Cao Zhen to accumulate his own connections to cope with the future. There was also a last resort reason.
That is, because he has not come to Beijing for a long time, many officials and dignitaries in Daxia, including the prince, are suspicious of his intentions.
After all, now that the Human Emperor cannot come out of seclusion, the world is already undercurrent, and with the emergence of the Liuhe Divine Sect, the situation in Kyushu is even more treacherous. If Ping Xihou has other thoughts, then for Daxia,
Definitely a huge hit.
If the Human Emperor is here, Ping Xihou will naturally not and dare not have other thoughts. But now, the Human Emperor is not here, Ping Xihou holds great power, and he is at the border. As the saying goes, if the foreign emperor disobeys the order, he wants to do it.
It's hard for Daxia to know what it is.
And Ping Xihou may also know that Daxia is afraid of him, so he promptly sends his only son to Tiandu. To put it bluntly, Cao Zhen will be a hostage in Tiandu, but his status is very high, and no one is willing.
provoke.
But if Ping Xihou dares to have second thoughts, Cao Zhen's life may be in doubt.
But now that Cao Zhen is dead, Ping Xihou has no scruples. This is why King Huai said in the court that he would resolve this matter personally.
Nowadays, in the entire Great Xia, apart from the supervisor of the Qin Tian Prison, only King Huai can control Ping Xihou.
As for Jingtiansi and Mingjingsi, Marquis Pingxi knows that Jingtiansi monitors the world. Now that the world is in turmoil, Jingtiansi has no time to deal with them. As for Mingjingsi, he has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and Mingjingsi does not have many people.
, it is not that easy to deal with him, unless the four major supervisors take action.
Of course, the main reason is that the commander-in-chief of Jingtian Division and the mirror master of Mingjing Division are not here.
All in all, Ping Xihou will definitely not take action against Gu Chen in a short period of time. Of course, this is openly, but secretly, Gu Chen is actually not that afraid.
Because although Ping Xihou is powerful, Yanzhou and Shenzhou belong to two large states and are far apart. It is not as easy as imagined to persecute Gu Chen secretly.
In the final analysis, it is still time. As long as Gu Chen is given time, Gu Chen firmly believes that he will never be afraid of anyone.
At this time, Gu Chen looked at Luo Feng and said, "You just said that two people put a reward on me in the Blood Clothes Tower. One is Cao Ying. Who is the other person?"
Luo Feng heard this and said: "I don't know the specific identity of the other person. He hid it very well. I just know that this person is most likely a local force in Qiongtian Mansion."
Hearing this, a cold light flashed in Gu Chen's eyes. When Luo Feng said this, he could vaguely guess who, besides Cao Ying, was offering a reward for him in the Blood Clothes Tower.
Not surprisingly, nine out of ten are from the Sunset Sword Sect!
Only the Sunset Sword Sect has the courage and ability to contact Xueyilou and dare to issue a reward for him.
"Brother Gu, have you got any guesses?" Luo Feng looked at Gu Chen and asked.
Gu Chen said calmly: "It's probably the same as ten."
To be honest, Gu Chen was really grateful to Luo Feng. If it weren't for Luo Feng, he would have had no way of knowing that it was these two parties who placed a reward on him in the Blood Clothes Tower.
Gu Chen also thought about informing Jingtiansi about this matter, but Cao Ying is dead and Cao Zhen is also dead. This matter has nothing to do with Pingxihou. It is impossible for the court to question Pingxihou for him without coming to question Gu.
Shen is pretty good.
As for the Sunset Sword Sect, without conclusive evidence, Jingtiansi would not easily touch a top force in Kyushu like the Sunset Sword Sect.
Especially at this sensitive juncture, if there is a war with the Sunset Sword Sect, Jingtiansi will definitely be involved in some of his energy. At that time, the demon sect and the demons will have an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Of course, if Gu Chen can find conclusive evidence to prove that people from the Sunset Sword Sect put a reward on him in the Blood Clothes Tower, then Jingtiansi will also take action with thunderous force. Without evidence, Jingtiansi's action is unjust and unjust.
Will be questioned by everyone in the world.
When the time comes, the Liuhe Divine Sect may also come out to cause trouble.
Since the Emperor of Humanity went into seclusion, the Liuhe Divine Sect reappeared, and the troubles caused by demons and ghosts have become more serious, the current Jingtiansi is no longer what it used to be.
Because I am involved in too many things.
Gu Chen has a stern expression and deep eyes. One day, he will personally board the Sunset Sword Sect and break through their mountain gate.
"I really want to thank you this time." Gu Chen sincerely thanked Luo Feng and said, "In the future, whenever you can find me useful, please feel free to ask."
When Luo Feng heard this, he immediately laughed and said, "Brother Gu, I won't be polite."
Gu Chen was noncommittal and said: "Of course there is no problem, but that will be in the future. Now, you still have to tell me where the Xueyi Tower's thirteen strongholds in Qiongtian Mansion are."
Immediately, Luo Feng suppressed his smile, took out the map, and pointed out to Gu Chen the locations of the thirteen strongholds of the Xueyi Tower in Qiongtian Mansion.
"Xue Yi Lou is so brave!" After Luo Feng pointed them out one by one, Gu Chen suddenly raised his eyebrows and his eyes were extremely stern.
No other reason, just because, inside Qiongtian City, there is actually a stronghold of the Blood Clothes Tower, right under the nose of the City Lord's Mansion.
It has to be said that the most dangerous place is the safest place. It seems that many people inside the Bloody Clothes Building are well aware of this truth.
"Just wait for me here. I'll go and come back."
After saying these words, Gu Chen went back to the back room to change his clothes, and then went directly to Wen Ziyun, the master of Qiongtian Mansion, and explained his purpose of coming, and asked him to mobilize the army to encircle the Blood Clothes Building.
Wen Ziyun was very drunk last night. He just got up with the help of the maid today and was washing up when Gu Chen came and shocked him immediately.
Hearing that Gu Chen wanted to wipe out the Blood Clothes Tower, Wen Ziyun naturally would not disagree. He even sent someone to notify the garrison of Qiongtian City, and everything followed Gu Chen's command.
Gu Chen acted resolutely, and after seeing Wen Ziyun agree, he turned around and left.
In fact, even if Gu Chen himself, with his current strength, could wipe out the stronghold of Xueyilou alone, but now that there are people on hand, he does not need to do everything himself.
Wen Ziyun looked at Gu Chen's back and murmured: "This Mr. Gu is really non-stop. If you don't do something for a day, you will feel uncomfortable all over, right?"
After finishing speaking, he shook his head and continued to wash up under the service of the maid. The hangover from last night still gave him a headache until now.
At this time, Wen Ziyun truly felt that the benefits of having a certain degree of martial arts cultivation were that at least the bones of the body were strong enough, and such problems would not occur if he drank too much.
On the other side, Gu Chen was dressed in black clothes, with sword-shaped eyebrows on his temples, and a long sword on his waist. He immediately left the city lord's mansion with Luo Feng.
Outside the city lord's palace, the garrison ordered by Wen Ziyun also moved very quickly. It didn't take long for dozens of people to gather here. This was also Gu Chen's order. The number of people didn't need to be too many, these were enough. Wen Ziyun was very concerned about Gu Chen.
Of course, he would not hesitate to give orders. Gu Chen would just do whatever he said.
"Set off!"
Gu Chen, with a stern expression on his face, mounted the horse, his hair flying in the wind. He waved his hand and immediately gave the order. Dozens of soldiers immediately moved and followed Gu Chen in an extremely orderly manner.
