Chapter 790: Happy Events in the City Lord's Mansion
For three days in a row, he visited almost every corner of Dawn City, asking everyone, but found nothing. Even Chen Yucheng asked, and the other party looked at a loss, and there was no clue from his expression.
Flaw. But for some reason, Gu Qing always had a feeling that this matter must be related to this person.
Now, he stood at a corner of the street, hesitant, not knowing whether to go to the alley on the left or continue walking forward.
This was his second search here, but still found nothing.
"Stop and get checked." A sharp shout came from the air. The speaker was a monk in blue armor, and behind him stood a row of people who looked exactly like him.
Recently, due to the mixed situation in Dawn City, it is difficult to ensure that no accidents will occur. Therefore, the inspections of the city guards have become more and more intensive. Almost everyone who can come close to the city lord's palace must verify their identity. Once the identity is not true, they will be punished.
The imprisonment in the city lord's palace lasts for at least three years.
Gu Qing had long been accustomed to these things. However, when he looked up, he couldn't help but be startled, showing an unexpected expression.
It turned out that the captain of this team of guards was Li He, who had once gone through the Ziyun Fantasy Realm with him.
During the few months of seclusion in Gu Qing, Li He made an astonishing breakthrough in his identity. Relying on his relationship with Chen Yucheng, he became the chief guard of the city lord's palace. Under his command, he commanded thirteen monks.
, there are even several people who are at the same level as him, and their cultivation level is still above him.
Li He also recognized Gu Qing, and was shocked and said: "It turns out to be fellow Taoist Gu, how come you are here? You all retreat, this fellow Taoist Gu Qing is a close friend of Mr. Chen Yucheng, and his identity is basically unknown."
No need to check, please be more careful in the future and don’t mess with anyone.”
Looking at Li He's appearance, he looked like a fox pretending to be a tiger but with an ugly face, he gave the group of people a severe scolding, and then greeted Gu Qing with a smile on his face.
Gu Qing frowned and said in a deep voice: "You come with me."
After saying this, Gu Qing turned and left. Li He was stunned for a moment, then gave a few instructions to the guards behind him, and immediately chased after him.
The two of them walked through several alleys in tandem. Along the way, Gu Qing did not speak, but just hurried on. In the blink of an eye, they had arrived at a ruins filled with grass. The surroundings were empty except for a few trees.
The old crooked tree stands alone outside with no trace of human beings.
Suddenly, Gu Qing turned around and stared coldly at Li He's face.
What a scary look!
Li He was startled and panicked by this sight, but he still tried hard to stay calm and asked in a solemn voice: "What's going on with fellow Taoist Gu, just tell me!"
Gu Qing asked coldly: "Tell me, where did Ke'er go?"
"Miss Miaoke disappeared for no reason. I also find it very strange. But these words of fellow Taoist Gu have made me a little confused."
Li He's eyes kept turning, looking around from time to time, and said this.
"I don't believe that you don't know. I advise you to be more honest. In Ziyun's fantasy world, you should have seen my methods." Gu Qing's expression remained unchanged, but his tone became more severe.
Speaking of this, a sharp spiritual consciousness burst out from the center of Gu Qing's eyebrows, turning into a ball of blue light and shooting directly at Li He.
Li He felt as if his head had been stabbed hard, and he began to spasm unconsciously. Although this feeling was extremely short-lived, at that moment, he actually felt like he was approaching death. This kind of
The feeling was so real that it made him break into a cold sweat.
"You...what do you want? Don't forget, this is Dawn City, and I am the captain of the city guard. If you dare to attack me, the city lord will not let you go." Li He felt that his life was threatened.
It was a serious danger, but he still had a tough mouth and showed no weakness.
"Humph, I don't know whether to live or die."
Gu Qing finally lost his patience, and a blue beam of light condensed from a huge spiritual consciousness struck the man's head hard. This move was both cruel and urgent, and instantly knocked Li He's mind blank. And he took advantage of this.
With this moment of effort, he opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of immortal sword. After spinning in the air, it shot out violently.
"puff!"
With a muffled sound, a small hole as thick as a thumb was opened on Li He's forehead. Blood flowed out from the small hole, instantly rendering the surrounding space. Then, a red light came from Li He's forehead.
It shot out from the Tianling Gai and transformed into a seven-inch golden baby. His eyes were full of panic. He held a small three-foot sword in his hand and shot it into the sky without saying a word. The speed was extremely fast.
"Want to escape?"
Gu Qing sneered. The Immortal Sword followed closely behind and collided with the small sword in Jin Ying's arms with a "ding-dong" sound, shattering it instantly. And he calmly raised his hand and waved,
An earth-yellow flag banner unfolded with a roar, and suddenly rolled up the golden baby.
He opened his big hand and directly grabbed the golden baby in his hand, staring at him with twinkling eyes and silently.
"Fellow Gu Taoist, please forgive me, I...I said anything, please let me go." Jin Ying hurriedly bowed down, begging for mercy. You must know that at this moment, his life is completely in Gu Qing's hands. The other party only needs a slight gesture.
As soon as he exerts his strength, he will turn into a piece of dust. No wonder he is so panicked.
Gu Qing looked indifferent and said: "It's easy to spare your life, but it depends on your performance. Just say it, I'll listen."
"Yes. When he was in Ziyun Huan City, Chen Yucheng had always admired Miss Sun Miaoke. He even confessed his love to her many times, but was sternly rejected by her. However, he did not give up, but deliberately wanted to
I arranged for the two of them to live in the city lord's palace and took the opportunity to get close to Miss Miaoke. Just a few days ago, when the ancient Taoist friend was still in retreat, Chen Yucheng suddenly took action against Miss Sun and kidnapped her. Even her whereabouts are still unknown to me.
." This little man is Li He's golden baby, and he talked eloquently and said these words.
Sure enough it was him!
Murderous intent flashed across Gu Qing's eyes. Although he had long suspected that Chen Yucheng had any intention, he never expected that it would be so blatant.
A surge of anger slowly rose from his chest, making his heart agitate. But he knew that it was absolutely impossible to deal with this person in Dawn City. Unless he risked his life, he could
Kill him. But this kind of risking his life is not his character.
He lowered his head and said nothing with a gloomy expression.
After a while, Jin Ying seemed to be worried that Gu Qing would kill him in anger, so he mustered up the courage to say: "I...I also heard some news, I don't know whether I should tell it or not."
"Speak!" Gu Qing frowned slightly and shouted sternly.
"Yes. I heard that at this celebration, Chen Yucheng will get married. However, the bride is not a child of one of the famous families in Dawn City. This matter has already spread in the city. So, I doubt
..." Jin Ying glanced at Gu Qing carefully and said no more.
"Is this happening?"
Gu Qing was also surprised. You must know that the son of the city lord of a certain city usually needs to marry into the city's big family to consolidate his status. Unless he is an extremely powerful city lord, he will not use this method.
Chen Yucheng's actions were undoubtedly somewhat unexpected.
"Do you suspect that Chen Yucheng is going to marry Sun Miaoke?" Gu Qing's lips curled up slightly, guessing the key.
"This is just my guess. As for the real situation, I don't know." Jin Ying said hesitantly.
"Okay, I've finished asking my questions. I'm not a murderous person. As long as you are honest and deal with this matter, I will let you live. But if you want to play any tricks, don't blame me.
Ruthless." Gu Qing said in an indifferent tone to Jin Ying threateningly.
"Yes, thank you for not killing me, my ancient Taoist friend." Hearing this, Jin Ying was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed down.
The reason why he surrendered to Chen Yucheng was because Chen Yucheng could bring him enough benefits. Now that his life was in the hands of Gu Qing, he naturally had to obey him. After all,
, to him, nothing is more important than his own life.
Gu Qing raised his hand and waved, and a cloud of golden light fell from his palm and fell on the body surface of the golden baby. Every particle of golden light turned into a golden talisman. These golden talismans were imprinted on the golden baby's body, and they were complicated.
Jin Ying gradually felt his eyelids become heavy, and finally had to close his eyes tightly.
With a flash of light, Gu Qing rolled Jin Ying into his cuffs.
After he bowed his head and pondered for a while, he sneered, stepped forward, and soon disappeared at the end of this barren grassland.
As a guard captain in Dawn City, Li He disappeared for no reason, which naturally attracted the attention of many people. However, since the celebration ceremony was about to be held, for the sake of the overall situation, this news was suppressed by the senior figures in Dawn City.
It was not deliberately promoted.
What they suspected was that some of the city lord's former enemies had quietly sneaked into Dawn City, preparing to use Li He's mouth to inquire about the city lord's current situation.
Therefore, they secretly strengthened the investigation of Dawn City to prevent this kind of thing from happening again. However, the next few days were calm and nothing unusual happened. As a result, the senior executives of Dawn City also
I finally felt relieved and prepared for the celebration with peace of mind.
On this day, two suns, one big and one small, hung high in the sky. The sky was clear and the dazzling light shone on people, making people feel a little bit hot.
The city lord's palace was decorated with lights and colors, and countless monks came in and out. And a huge band composed of hundreds of people kept playing high-pitched and joyful music, as if there were magpies all over the sky, chirping at the same time. And above the city lord's palace,
Dozens of girls in white skirts danced gracefully, like fairies descended from the sky, so beautiful.
In front of the main hall of the city lord's palace, a man who looked like a butler was leading a monk who came to congratulate him into the main hall, his face beaming with joy.
"Haha, Brother Xuanli has advanced to the late stage of spiritual transformation, and his third son is getting married. It's really a double happiness! Congratulations, congratulations!" A Taoist priest from Qingzhuo smiled with a smile on his face, holding a gift box in his left hand and pointing at it.
