Chapter 104: The big traitor seems loyal to make up for the golden alliance of AlloyCat
In the back hall of the General's Mansion.
Apart from Fang Zhenhai and Gu Cheng, Taoist Yunhai was the only one listening.
Gu Cheng told Fang Zhenhai everything he had done without hiding anything, and of course he couldn't hide it.
Among Jiang Yuandong and other guards, there are definitely close confidants arranged by Fang Zhenhai. Instead of being evasive, it is better to speak out openly and win Fang Zhenhai's trust.
After saying all this, Gu Cheng pointed to the box in front of him and said in a deep voice: "King of Heaven, these are gifts from the Wang family and Siji Sect to their subordinates.
The subordinates were able to accomplish this all because of the reputation of the King of Heaven, so they dare not hide it privately, and it is entirely up to the King of Heaven to dispose of it."
Fang Zhenhai and Taoist Yunhai looked at each other, their eyes full of surprise.
Not only were they surprised that Gu Cheng could do things so perfectly, they were also surprised by Gu Cheng's attitude now.
After a long while, Fang Zhenhai laughed and said: "Not bad, you did a good job.
No wonder you are able to achieve the position of Jingyesi's night watchman at such an age. This method is really good.
The imperial court has treated you badly, but I, Fang Zhenhai, will not treat you badly.
All these things were obtained by your own means. How can I have the nerve to take them?
Take them all back and use them yourself, follow me, I will never let you suffer."
Gu Cheng immediately made a look of tears of gratitude and said respectfully: "Thank you, King of Heaven. I will know that my choice is not wrong."
"Okay, go down and rest. You have been busy for a long time during this period, so it's time to take a rest."
After Gu Cheng left with his things, Fang Zhenhai turned his attention to Master Yunhai and asked, "Master, what do you think?"
Master Yunhai shook his head gently and said: "There are talented people in the history of the country. This Gu Cheng uses the means of taking advantage of the situation extremely skillfully. Taking advantage of your situation, the King of Heaven, he steals the beam and replaces the pillar, turns the lie into the truth, and plays with the Siji Sect and the Wang family in the midst of applause.
, what a good means.
Unless the Siji Sect and the Wang family can sit down and talk calmly, those two families may never imagine that they would be so miserably deceived by a junior."
Master Yunhai clicked his tongue in admiration. Gu Cheng handled this matter almost perfectly, because the hatred between the Siji Sect and the Wang family has lasted for more than a day or two. It is almost impossible for both parties to sit down and have a good discussion. In this way, this matter
There will be almost no exposure.
And only Gu Chenglai can use the same method, not even Yunhai Zhenren.
The reason is very simple, identity issue.
Gu Cheng is not very strong, but he is Fang Zhenhai's newest confidant. When he does these things, people will not focus on him, as if he is a sounding board in the middle.
And he, Master Yunhai, is the second-ranked figure among the Eight Great Vajras. Everyone knows that Fang Zhenhai attaches great importance to him, so naturally they will also attach great importance to him. The more attention they pay, the more loopholes there will be.
As for letting people from the other Eight Great Vajras come, that won't work either.
Because they are not sincere and hypocritical.
Dare to act scheming in front of Su Xuanji, the leader of the Siji Sect, and Wang Kaizhi, the head of the Wang family, is not something ordinary people can do.
It's okay to let a few of them kill people, but if they do this kind of thing, I'm afraid they can only deceive Wang Lin, and the secret will be exposed directly in front of others.
Fang Zhenhai touched his chin and said: "If that's the case, then this guy is really a talent. Although his strength is a little weaker, but if he uses it well, he is much stronger than those guys who only know how to fight and kill.
Already.
And he is obedient and loyal enough. The people below reported that he did not take any of the things sent by the Siji Sect and the Wang family, and just sent them to me. What do you think, Master?"
Master Yunhai thought for a moment and said, "It's possible that Gu Cheng is really loyal to you, the King of Heaven, to the extreme.
He had offended his superiors in the Jingyesi Division and now defected to the King of Heaven. It could be said that there was no turning back for the court, so Gu Cheng could only stand on the side of the King of Heaven and do his best for the King of Heaven.
Traitors are sometimes more loyal than their own people because they have no choice.
But the other party may also be a traitor but a loyal person. With Gu Cheng's methods, although he is young, even a poor man can't tell the truth from the disguise."
"Then do you think he is truly loyal or fake?"
Master Yunhai lowered his head and said: "This all depends on what you think, King of Heaven. If you think he is loyal, then he is loyal. If you think he is suspicious, then he is suspicious."
Master Yunhai's palace is also not shallow. He is only one of the eight kings under Fang Zhenhai, and he is just a subordinate. Therefore, there are some things that should be said, but not a word that should not be said. He is very clear in his heart.
Fang Zhenhai's character is somewhat headstrong. He can listen to your suggestions, but that doesn't mean you can make decisions for him.
Why doesn't Fang Zhenhai discuss most matters with Gao Jiande, who used to be his sworn brother? It's because Gao Jiande can't see this clearly and always wants to give orders on Fang Zhenhai's behalf, but he has forgotten who he is.
Fang Zhenhai laughed loudly when he heard this and said: "From what I see, this Gu Cheng should be like you said, he has no way back, so he can only choose to be loyal to me.
If he was sent by the imperial court to plot against me, then the timing would not be right, unless the imperial court had regarded me as a serious threat from the beginning and prepared to eliminate him, which is why so many preparations were made.
But if that’s the case, then why bother planting a traitor or something like that? Why don’t we just ignore everything and dispatch more troops?”
Master Yunhai nodded. He was not sure that Gu Cheng's problem was because of this, the time was not right.
When Gu Cheng was in trouble in Donglin County, although Fang Zhenhai was already confronting Bei Shaojie, at that time Fang Zhenhai was just a rebel and a rebel.
There are several in all the Nanjiu counties, and there are even some in other counties now.
Even Fang Zhenhai himself knew that at that time, he was not worthy of being treated with such caution by the court.
At this time, Gu Cheng returned to his courtyard with his things, and he also let out a sigh of relief.
This period of time was not easy for him. When dealing with people like Wang Kaizhi, Su Xuanji, or Fang Zhenhai, Gu Cheng was always holding his breath.
There are only those who can control a force who are pretending to be stupid, and there are no real stupid ones, so Gu Cheng must be vigilant at all times and not relax when playing tricks with them.
But at the same time, he couldn't act too nervous, as that would make him look more suspicious, so he could only hold this breath secretly in his heart, not daring to relax, and not daring to hold it too tight.
Being an undercover traitor is really not something a normal person can do, it's very tiring.
Fortunately, judging from Fang Zhenhai's attitude, I should have initially gained his trust through this matter. Although he cannot be completely regarded as a confidant, at least he should be regarded as one of his own, instead of just discussing matters like before.
There is a seat in the hall, but in fact it is an outsider looking in.
Taking out the things given by the Siji Sect and the Wang family, Gu Cheng counted them and nodded with satisfaction.
Most of the gifts they gave were elixirs, elixirs and other cultivation materials, and even some gold, silver and jewelry. The Siji Sect even gave a few exquisite talismans, and they were masters of the Yuan Qi realm, the fifth realm of Qi refining.
What is left is extremely precious.
Because this kind of talisman needs to be preserved for a long time, the materials used to draw the talisman, the spiritual energy injected into it, and the refining techniques are all extremely laborious. Even a Qi Refiner who has reached the Yuan Qi realm cannot refine a few of them in a year.
, after all, they also have to practice and cannot make talismans all day long.
Gu Cheng classified these things and prepared to practice for a while and refine the Xuanyin Fire.
After getting the Xuanyin Fire, Gu Cheng went straight to Nanyi County. He originally planned to rest for a while after handing over the task and then refine it. Unexpectedly, an accident happened, so he kept delaying it. At this time, someone
If you don't have time, you can find an opportunity to completely refine it.
Xuanyin Ling Fei Jing is actually a top-grade skill among Qi practitioners, but few people would practice it.
Qi refiners pay more attention to orthodox inheritance than warriors, whether they are Taoists or Buddhists.
Although this Xuan Yin Spirit Flying Sutra can be regarded as an orthodox Qi training method, its attributes are biased towards the Yin evil lineage, and it is easy to attract ghosts and evil spirits. In addition, its origin is unknown, and those who want to focus on the Qi training lineage
Practitioners rarely choose.
Of course, these scruples are not a big deal to Gu Cheng.
All he pursues is power. As long as the power of the technique is powerful enough, all side effects can be ignored.
The rich Yin attribute spiritual energy enveloped the Xuanyin fire, and the cold flames gradually penetrated into Gu Cheng's limbs and bones. There was no burning heat, only coldness.
Using the Xuanyin Fire as a guide, he refined all the spiritual energy in his body. After seven days, the Xuanyin Fire was finally completely refined by Gu Cheng.
Stretching out his fingers, a trace of gray-white flame condensed between Gu Cheng's fingers. This was the power brought by the Xuanyin Spirit Flying Sutra. All of Gu Cheng's spiritual energy was sublimated, and his perception became a little stronger.
Especially in the dark night, you will become more sensitive to various evil and ghostly forces.
Unfortunately, Gu Cheng still failed to break through to the Seventh Level of Qi Refining Visualization this time.
To visualize the Seven Realms of Qi Refining, you need to visualize things like Taoist patterns or Buddhist Sanskrit in your mind, so that your own spiritual energy can be completely integrated, and you can perform various spells with just a wave of your hand.
There are Xuan** patterns on the Xuanyin Ling Fei Sutra. Gu Cheng tried to condense the Dao patterns, but failed. His cultivation in Qi Refining was still a bit too shallow. Gu Cheng had always just followed fate.
Qi refining and accumulation are not as satisfying as martial arts.
Perhaps, I should look for opportunities to improve my cultivation in Qi Refining?
Of course, Gu Cheng was not prepared to allocate time to meditate to improve his cultivation in Qi refining, as that would only slow down his progress in martial arts.
Gu Cheng wanted to take some shortcuts, such as relying on the black jade space to kill ghosts to improve his cultivation in Qi refining.
This is Nanyi County, a place full of ghost graves and demon caves.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door suddenly, and Jiang Yuandong's voice sounded outside.
"Sir, the King of Heaven invites you to discuss matters."
