Gao Jiande's words made Fang Zhenhai look a little gloomy.
The reason why he had so much unhappiness with Gao Jiande over the years was because of Gao Jiande's attitude.
He thought he was the big brother when he was a copycat before.
Although he gave up the position of the leader of the village, how many times the size of the current rebel army was that of the previous village? These were all brought about by Fang Zhenhai's iron fist!
Taking a deep breath, Fang Zhenhai said in a deep voice: "Some things cannot be calculated like this. The position of the Eight King Kongs can be transferred back and forth and exposed to the outside world. Gu Cheng does not need to directly control the troops. What does the newcomer and the old person have in this position?
no the same?
Besides, all the achievements Gu Cheng has made are shown here. He is definitely qualified to become one of the Eight Great Vajras. You only consider the feelings of the old man, but what do you want the newcomer to think?
I know you feel a little uncomfortable because of the Lian Jian Du incident, but please don’t let your personal affairs interfere with your official affairs."
Gao Jiande said: "King of Heaven, my objection is not because of Lian Jiandu's matter, but because he hastily promoted a newcomer to the position of the Eight Great Vajras. This is simply reckless!"
There was a moment of silence in the lobby as the two people argued, and no one dared to interrupt at this time.
Although they had known for a long time that the relationship between Gao Jiande and Fang Zhenhai seemed to be a little subtle, but this was the first time that they had so openly argued over a matter in front of everyone.
At this time, Gu Cheng stood up, cupped his hands, and sighed: "King of Heaven, I know that my ability is shallow and my qualifications are insufficient, so I don't dare to sit in the position of the Eight Great Vajras.
Please ask the King of Heaven to take back your life, and don’t let this incident of your subordinate hurt the brotherly harmony between the King of Heaven and Mr. Gao over the years.”
Gu Cheng's appearance and tone showed that he was compromising for the sake of the overall situation, as if he had really been wronged and was thinking about Fang Zhenhai.
But Gu Cheng's tone made Fang Zhenhai feel angry.
He is a self-willed person who can listen to other people's opinions but does not allow others to make decisions for him.
But now Gao Jiande's behavior is challenging his bottom line and making decisions for him.
He is the ‘King of Luanwu’ Fang Zhenhai, the biggest rebel king in the entire Nanjiu County. He controls the existence of the entire Nanyi County, but now he can’t even intervene in the appointment of his subordinates? This is simply a joke!
Fang Zhenhai immediately snorted: "From today on, Gu Cheng will be one of the eight great kings under my command, taking over the position of Lian Jiandu.
How come our Luanwu Army has swept from a small village to its current scale since it started? It’s just two words: fair!
The court was unfair and emphasized seniority everywhere, making it impossible for those below to get ahead.
It’s different under my command, Fang Zhenhai!
As long as you have the ability, no matter how long you have been here, no matter what your status is, I will give you a chance to get ahead!
Today, my rebel army has grown stronger, so naturally I want to carry forward this point, instead of following the old path of the mediocre imperial court!"
Gao Jiande's face was livid, because to him, Fang Zhenhai was simply criticizing Sang and Huai, saying that he was acting recklessly based on his seniority, just like the mediocre imperial court.
At the moment, Zhenhai has already made his decision in public, and Gao Jiande cannot refute it.
He flicked his sleeves, cupped his hands and said, "King of Heaven, I don't feel well, so I'll go back for the time being."
After finishing speaking, Gao Jiande didn't wait for Fang Zhenhai to speak, he turned around and left.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit solemn, Fang Zhenhai waved his hand and said: "Let's all disperse, Gu Cheng stays."
When only he and Gu Cheng were left, Fang Zhenhai sighed: "Gu Cheng, you have seen all these things today. My subordinates are not monolithic.
Big brother has changed, he is no longer the big brother he used to be. I promoted you today, and I will not hesitate to turn against my sworn brother. Don't let me down."
Fang Zhenhai left Gu Cheng behind to say this, which was undoubtedly just to attract people's hearts and let Gu Cheng know who put him in this position and who he would be loyal to in the future.
It's just that Fang Zhenhai's method was a little too rough, and he chose the wrong time.
Gao Jiande is your sworn elder brother. He even gave you the position of leader of the village because he was optimistic about you.
Although Gao Jiande did not understand his status today, Fang Zhenhai chose to quarrel with him, which is enough to show his cold nature.
If you can have this attitude towards your sworn brother, do you need to say more about others?
Gu Cheng made a grateful look and said: "My subordinates encountered injustice in the court, and I'm lucky enough to meet a wise master like the King of Heaven. Please rest assured, the King of Heaven, that my subordinates will go through fire and water for the King of Heaven without any hesitation!"
Fang Zhenhai nodded with satisfaction. This was the attitude he wanted from his subordinates.
"Okay, you have been busy for a long time during this period. Go back and rest. Except for the demon pill, you can keep the rest of the things you got from the old ghost."
Fang Zhenhai waved his hand and let Gu Cheng leave with satisfaction.
What he didn't see was that the moment Gu Cheng turned his head, all the smiles on his face disappeared and he became extremely calm.
After returning to his residence, the sky was already dark, and suddenly there was a tremor in the black jade space.
Gu Cheng entered the black jade space, ripples sparkled, and Xiao Yi's figure stepped out of it.
"Did something happen over there?"
Xiao Yi shook his head and said: "Everything went well. We have occupied the underground palace area where the ghost commander was guarded before. General Qin Jian gathered some of the yin soldiers and ghost soldiers from the previous dynasty. They have never killed anyone or devoured yang energy.
, it’s just that the will to fight is immortal and nourished by Yin Qi, it becomes a ghost and can be cultivated.
I'm here to give you something, Brother Gu, we found it from that old ghost's underground palace, you should be able to use it."
Xiao Yi took out a box from his ghost body and handed it to Gu Cheng before leaving. Gu Cheng exited the space and took a look. Inside the brocade box was a silk book, which also recorded a sword skill.
The candle dragon opens its eyes.
Based on Gu Cheng's current swordsmanship, after a rough look, the power of this sword skill is definitely stronger than that of Jiu Feng Returning to the Nest. Even Gu Cheng cannot understand the deep sword intention in it.
The most important thing is that there are four words written at the end of the silk script: The Sword Classic of Mountains and Seas.
These four words were obviously added by people later, which made Gu Cheng couldn't help scratching his head. This Sword Scripture of Mountains and Seas seems to have a great background?
Gu Cheng called his guard Jiang Yuandong and ordered him to go to a restaurant outside to buy a table of food and wine and take it with him to find Taoist Mengshan.
Although it was still night at this time, Gu Cheng was sure that Taoist Mengshan was not asleep yet.
Qigong practitioners meditate instead of sleeping at night. Who is a serious Qigong practitioner who sleeps? Those who sleep are definitely not serious Qigong practitioners.
When Gu Cheng knocked on Taoist Mengshan's door, he was indeed not asleep yet.
Gu Cheng smiled and said: "Thank you, Taoist Priest Bai, for your recommendation. It just so happens that I also have something I want to talk to you about, Taoist Priest."
Taoist Mengshan looked at the food box Gu Cheng was carrying and said, "You also know how to bring wine and food while chatting. You are very particular."
After entering the house and placing the food and wine, Taoist Mengshan drank a drink with Gu Cheng, smacked his lips, and then said: "You're welcome to do anything during the day. I'm also helping myself by helping you. After all, it's not easy to get along under the command of the King of Heaven, especially
It’s for rootless people like you and me.”
"Why do you say that?" Gu Cheng asked.
Taoist Mengshan drank another drink, took a deep breath and said: "Brother Gu, from your city, you should be able to tell what kind of person the King of Heaven is.
The King of Heaven only needs obedient people and people who are useful to him. When you and I become useless, then we should find ways to take care of each other."
Speaking of this, Taoist Mengshan suddenly lowered his voice and said: "One more thing, brother Gu, do you really think that the rebellion of the Heavenly King can last a lifetime?
Although the imperial court's control over the world has declined year by year in recent years, resulting in wars and demons running rampant in the border areas, as long as the Central Plains remains healthy and has not been lost, the imperial court's confidence will be lost.
I'll always have to think of a way out for myself."
Gu Cheng looked at Taoist Mengshan in surprise: "Taoist priest, if you tell me this, aren't you afraid that I will report to the King of Heaven?"
What Taoist Mengshan said is taboo, and his drinking capacity shouldn't be that bad, right? He dares to bare everything after just one glass of wine?
Taoist Mengshan smiled and said, "I believe you won't."
"Why? Because my name is Gu Cheng?"
Taoist Mengshan shook his head and said: "It's useless to call you Gu Xin. I believe you because you once stood up for your subordinate Pao Ze in Donglin County, and you would rather risk losing your future than to decapitate the dog warlord. In this way
People would never do such a thing.
I believe you are a person with a bottom line."
From the beginning, Taoist Mengshan had a good impression of Gu Cheng because of this incident.
Although he is a Taoist priest and has a very calm personality, he actually has a hint of the reckless and courageous spirit of a Jianghu man.
Gu Chengyi held up his hand and said, "Thank you, Taoist Priest, for being considerate, but there are some things that I don't really have a bottom line on.
But since Taoist Master knows that Heavenly King may not be here for a long time, why did he choose to stay here?"
Taoist Mengshan shook his head and said: "Just like you, I have no choice. The rebel army is sweeping through Nanyi County. If you don't want to be an enemy, then be one of our own.
In fact, there are many people under the King of Heaven who can see this clearly. Lan Caidie just wants to find a place to settle down, and it doesn't matter where she is.
You should be careful when you see this person. This perverted monk is greedy for profit and has despicable methods. He is not a good person. He stays under the king of heaven just for profit.
And Huang Laojiao saw it more clearly. If he really thought that the King of Heaven could succeed, he would have handed over the water bandits under his command long ago and worked for the King of Heaven with all his heart, instead of holding on to him like he is now.
I won’t let go of the power in my hands at all.”
Gu Cheng looked at Taoist Mengshan with some surprise. He really underestimated this Taoist priest. In fact, he saw it more clearly than most people.
