ps: Thanks to the book friend Xi Shui for the reward of 10,000 starting coins
When Gu Cheng and others returned to Guangling City, Fang Zhenhai was not here. Instead, he and Zhenren Yunhai went to other state capitals in Nanyi County to check the local situation, and to contact some rebel forces in other counties.
In fact, honestly speaking, Fang Zhenhai, the Chaos Martial King, was really defeated by his strength.
From weak to strong, rising step by step, almost everything big and small was done personally in the early stage, including now that he has more people under his command, but in fact it is still not enough, and some things still require his hand.
Gu Cheng and others came back, but Lian Jiandu did not come back. All these things were reported to Gao Jiande by Lian Jiandu's subordinates.
After Gao Jiande learned the news, he immediately called Gu Cheng and others for questioning.
"Where did Lian Jiandu go?"
Gao Jiande looked at the three of them with a hint of questioning in his tone, which made both Taoist Mengshan and Lan Caidie a little uncomfortable.
Although you are the eldest among the Eight Great Vajras, and you are also a fifth-level martial arts master in terms of strength, but Lian Jiandu is your adopted son, and they are not nannies. How would you and others know that he was missing?
Taoist Mengshan had a good temper, and he suppressed his anger and said calmly: "The Lianjian Commander left us alone to act alone, how do we know where he went?"
Gao Jiande glared and said coldly: "My people reported that Lian Jiandu was at odds with you before, and the two sides almost had a conflict. Now that he has not come back, you say you don't know?
Especially you, Gu Cheng!"
Gao Jiande suddenly turned his gaze to Gu Cheng, feeling a faint pressure coming over him.
From the beginning, Gao Jiande felt that Gu Cheng was a little suspicious. He had no evidence, it was just his intuition.
Gao Jiande's intuition has always been very accurate. This is not a secret skill, it is just his innate feeling.
In the past, he felt that Fang Zhenhai had great potential when he was young, so he became sworn sworn friends with this young man, and later even gave him the position of leader of the village.
He felt that the imperial court's control over Nanyi County had been reduced to the extreme, and there was chaos and chaos. They could start an uprising, so he encouraged Fang Zhenhai to take action, and they succeeded.
But now he has a feeling that even the Sword Governor will never come back, maybe not in this lifetime.
Gu Cheng sneered when he heard this: "Master Gao, I know you are worried about your adopted son, but you can't bite him randomly, right?
Since you know that Lian Jiandu had a conflict with us, you should know why he had a conflict with us.
He even escaped from the battle with the sword commander, tricked us, and finally secretly took action to seize the benefits first. In the end, he had an accident and did not come back, but you care about us asking for people, what's the point of this?"
Gao Jiande said coldly: "It is precisely because of this matter that I suspect that Lian Jiandu's disappearance is related to you!"
Taoist Mengshan couldn't help but said: "Master Gao, you are totally unreasonable! When the King of Heaven comes back, we will definitely report this matter to the King of Heaven and seek justice!"
At this moment, Fang Zhenhai's voice came from outside.
"What's going on? What happened? I heard you guys making a noise as soon as I came back."
Fang Zhenhai walked in the door dusty and looked at everything with a frown.
After hearing everything explained, Fang Zhenhai's frown deepened. How could such a living person disappear? The most important thing is that Lian Jiandu's strength is not bad.
"Call everyone here to discuss the matter."
In the meeting hall, everyone hurried over.
After explaining the matter, Fang Zhenhai asked Gu Cheng: "When Director Lian Jian left, did you really not see anyone?"
Gu Cheng stood up and said with an aggrieved look: "King Mingjian, although we disdain Lian Jiandu as a person, we are not him. How could we do something like that, secretly murdering one of our own people?"
?
Besides, I don't have the time to do harm.
After Lian Jiandu left, Lan Caidi and Taoist Mengshan kept attacking the ghost governor, but because I was weak, I tried my best to deal with it, and then I was able to deal with the ghost general.
After that, we headed to the underground palace of the ghost governor together, without even taking a step apart. How could even the disappearance of the sword governor have anything to do with me and the others?
If the King of Heaven cannot trust me, then you can ask those former subordinates of the Lianjian Commander if we have ever left their sight for even a moment."
Even the people under the Sword Governor were the confidants of Gao Jiande's men in the past. They were absolutely trustworthy by Gao Jiande. Hearing this, he immediately looked at those people.
Under Gao Jiande's gaze, those Lian Jiandu's men could only say: "What Mr. Gu said is true."
The only time Gu Cheng left their sight was when he faced the ghost general.
But no one could have imagined that the ghost generals under the ghost governor would collude with Gu Cheng to act, so in their eyes, Gu Cheng was also fighting with the ghost generals during that time, and it was impossible to spare time to kill Lian Lian.
Sword Governor.
Moreover, Lian Jiandu's strength was only at level six, so how could he be killed so easily by Gu Cheng, who was not as powerful as him?
So according to normal thinking, Gu Cheng definitely has a perfect alibi.
Even Gao Jiande himself began to wonder, could he really be paranoid?
He doesn't trust Gu Cheng, nor does he trust Taoist Mengshan or Lan Caidie, but he has absolute trust in the people on his side.
At this time, Master Yunhai said: "Master Gao, how about this? I will do a divination for Lian Jian Du to see if he is bad or good. If you have Lian Jian Du's personal belongings, the divination success rate is 80%.
, if there is the other party’s flesh, blood, hair and other things, it can even reach 99%.”
Gao Jiande had a gloomy face and ordered someone to go to Lian Jiandu's bedroom to find a few hairs and give them to Master Yunhai for divination.
Master Yunhai took the hair, carefully set up a small formation, and started calculating in it.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Master Yunhai raised his head, shook his head gently at Gao Jiande and said, "Master Gao, please express your condolences. Lian Jiande is no longer here."
Gao Jiande trembled violently, stood up and said, "Seriously?"
Master Yunhai sighed and said: "Pindao is still very confident in his divination skills. If there is no interference from outsiders, he will never make mistakes."
Upon hearing the news of Lian Jiandu's death, except for Gao Jiande, no one else present showed any sadness.
Lian Jiandu was usually arrogant and narrow-minded. It could be said that except for his adoptive father Gao Jiande and Fang Zhenhai, no one took him seriously.
After all, in Fang Zhenhai's group, although Lian Jiandu is the weakest, his qualifications are the oldest, so the ranking of the Eight Great Vajras puts him at the bottom, which is why he feels some dissatisfaction.
in.
For them, if such a person dies, he is dead, and no one will care, except Gao Jiande.
Gao Jiande is neither married nor has heirs. After he rescued Lian Jiandu, he really raised him as his own son over the years. But now he is dead. His death is unclear. Of course he is not happy in his heart.
Feel good.
Fang Zhenhai sighed, walked over and patted Gao Jiande on the shoulder and said: "Brother, please forgive me and accept the change, there is no resurrection after death.
You know where the Hundred Thousand Mountains of the Southern Barbarians are. The North Mountains are not the deepest, but they are also dangerous. Who knows what is there.
Commander Lian Jian may have been careless for a moment, and if something unexpected happened to him, you should be more cautious."
Fang Zhenhai rarely calls Gao Jiande brother in public places, after all, his identity lies here.
But now something happened to Lian Jiandu, and judging from Gao Jiande's appearance, he wanted to express it.
Returning to his position, Fang Zhenhai said in a deep voice: "Something has happened to Director Lian Jian, but the position of these eight kings is still indispensable. Let's think about who should take this position.
Hearing what Fang Zhenhai said, Gao Jiande felt a little uncomfortable.
Just after Lian Jiandu died, were you so eager to fill this position?
In fact, for Fang Zhenhai, the death of Lian Jiandu was actually a good thing for him.
When the previous meeting was held to strangle the demons, Gao Jiande and three others opposed it, and the other four people did not have a clear position. This already made Fang Zhenhai feel that something was wrong.
But due to Gao Jiande's face, he couldn't do anything to Lian Jiandu. Now that Lian Jiandu himself had an incident, he could replace him with someone else.
After the words fell, there was silence for a moment. Taoist Mengshan stood up and said: "My subordinates recommend Gu Cheng to replace the position of Lian Jiandu.
Although Gu Cheng has only joined our rebel army for the shortest time, he has managed to pacify the Siji Sect and resolve the chaos of demons and ghosts in the border areas. This time he destroyed the ghost governor and even plundered a lot of trophies from his ghost domain.
, these achievements are all here, even if Gu Zheng is not strong enough, he is still qualified to become one of the Eight Great Vajras."
After this incident, Taoist Mengshan still had a deep impression of Gu Cheng.
Gu Cheng is cautious in doing things, mainly because he is very reliable, at least much more reliable than someone like Lian Jiandu.
Moreover, through this incident, Taoist Master Mengshan also discovered that it would be impossible for him to practice peacefully under Fang Zhenhai.
With such a large scale and small number of people in the Luanwu Army, there are several factions, and everyone is secretly plotting against each other. How could he possibly want to be alone?
Therefore, if Gu Cheng is promoted to the position of the Eight Great Vajras, Gu Cheng will definitely be on his side based on the friendship between the two parties.
Lan Caidi also said: "Yes, I agree, Gu Xiaodi is still very reliable and a person who can do things."
Fang Zhenhai nodded lightly. In fact, he also preferred Gu Cheng.
It's not about Gu Cheng's strength, but because Gu Cheng knows how to do things, and every time something is said to his heart.
What Fang Zhenhai wanted in his subordinates was not strength. He was already strong enough and there was no need for someone stronger than him.
Master Yunhai can make suggestions, but Master Yunhai is too slippery.
Huang Laojiao only had his own small calculations in mind. If he was unlucky, he would be the first to react.
As for the others, they are almost all thug material, and few can actually do anything.
Thinking of this, Fang Zhenhai glanced at Gao Jiande and sighed in his heart.
I am afraid that I and this big brother will go further and further apart.
So after counting it down in detail, the only one with the ability and strength that suits Fang Zhenhai's wishes is Gu Cheng. The fact that the other party has accomplished a few things is enough to prove the other party's loyalty.
Just when Fang Zhenhai was about to speak, Gao Jiande objected: "No! How long has it been since Gu Cheng joined the Luanwu Army? What will other old people think if a position like the Eight Great Vajras is given to him?"
