The battle in Guangling City has ended. Hundreds of elite Shenwu Guards have taken control of the entire Guangling City. The top brass of the rebel army have been killed and surrendered, and they can no longer stir up any trouble.
Song Zhenqing over there waved his hand, disintegrated the Feng Ling Saber in his hand, reinserted it into the armor behind him, walked over and looked at Gu Cheng with a strange look.
As the general of the Shenwu Guard, he must be the main one to attack Fang Zhenhai. After weighing the strength of both sides, Song Zhenqing was sure to win, but this was a fierce battle. No matter how confident he was, he would not take it easy.
The certainty of victory.
As a result, who would have thought that when he came to Guangling City, he learned that Qiu Erniang had buried a chess piece before, and it had grown into a towering tree and hollowed out Fang Zhenhai's foundation. This surprised him.
Very.
Based on Song Zhenqing's knowledge, Gu Cheng can be considered a talent.
Gu Cheng felt a little awkward when Song Zhenqing looked at him. He cupped his hands and said, "Why does the general look at me like this?"
Song Zhenqing clicked his tongue and said, "Are you from Jingyesi? I heard that you didn't get along with your previous boss of Jingyesi in Donglin County? Are you interested in joining our Shenwu Guard?"
Gu Cheng was stunned for a moment, but then shook his head, which surprised Song Zhenqing.
"Do you know my identity? You are a night watchman in Jingyesi. After you come to our Shenwu Guard, I can also give you the position of captain, no less than your night watchman."
Gu Cheng cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your kindness, General, but I know how much I weigh. I don't know anything about marching and fighting, other than rushing to kill recklessly. After I joined the army, I was far behind my other colleagues in this regard."
Moreover, Shenwuwei mainly serves the royal family and must act on thin ice. My personality is sometimes very awkward. If I do something impulsively that I cannot control, I will not only get into trouble, but may also implicate the general.
After all, when I was in Donglin County, I was forced out of Donglin County because I killed someone I shouldn't have killed."
Gu Cheng said so much, in fact, he didn't want to join Shenwuwei just because of the other party's identity.
The Shenwuwei may sound like they are protecting the royal family, but in fact they are the private army of the Daqian royal family. They have already taken sides long ago, and they even have no choice but to take sides.
Gu Cheng didn't want to become the vassal of any prince by accident, so he should stay away from the Shenwu Guards.
When Song Zhenqing saw Gu Cheng's refusal, he didn't say much. After all, he was a general of the imperial court and a martial arts master. He only wanted to recruit Gu Cheng on a temporary basis. He felt that Gu Cheng was just interesting in what he did.
Thinking about it carefully, it was indeed inappropriate for him to recruit Gu Cheng.
He vaguely knew the identity of Qiu Erniang, and this Gu Cheng was hers. Although he didn't know whether he had joined her organization or not, recruiting the Shenwu Guards without permission was always troublesome.
Moreover, although the other party killed someone in Donglin County, he was still a member of Jingyesi, and Jingyesi had not removed him yet.
The relationship between the military and Jingyesi cannot be said to be very harmonious, but rather subtle. At this time, there may be a lot of criticism from Jingyesi's side regarding the recruitment.
The most important thing is that the man Gu Cheng killed seemed to be the son of a frontier general.
Daqian is such a big force, with dozens of frontier troops. As the general of the Shenwu Guard, Song Zhenqing is certainly not recognized by everyone, but if he gets into trouble for no reason, it doesn't seem worth it.
Qiu Erniang came over and said: "General Song, Fang Zhenhai has been destroyed. You can use the banner of the rebel army to claim credit. The deal between us should also be honored, right?"
Song Zhenqing smiled and said: "Don't worry, of course, what His Highness said will be fulfilled. I will take people away tomorrow. During this period, the entire Nanyi County belongs to you, but do you have the ability to take it?"
If you have to go to Nanyi County, His Highness will not interfere. I hope you can win in the internal game of Jingyesi."
With that said, Song Zhenqing waved his hand and left directly with the people of the Human God Military Guard to make repairs in the city.
Qiu Erniang dragged Gu Cheng to the General's Mansion, stretched out, took off her mask, and moaned softly: "That guy Fang Zhenhai is really difficult to deal with. He can't be defeated even by two enemies."
With so little strength, I can outsmart him."
Gu Cheng said: "My mission has been completed. Should your previous promise be fulfilled?"
Qiu Erniang said: "Your promise is simple. No one in the capital will take action against your Zhongyong Hou Mansion. Your contribution to the destruction of Fang Zhenhai this time has also been recorded in the internal files of Jingyesi.
It was signed personally by Yesi Headquarters. It can be said that your boss in Donglin County has completely lost control of you.
With this merit, when you return to Jingcheng Jingyesi, there will be almost no need for review, and you can definitely join the Jingcheng Jingyesi headquarters."
Speaking of this, Qiu Erniang suddenly approached Gu Cheng and stared at him with burning eyes: "But this time I want to talk about another thing. Just now you refused Song Zhenqing's recruitment, and now I am also planning to recruit you. You
Will you refuse?"
"The Gang of Heroes?"
Qiu Erniang shook her head and said: "I said at the beginning that the organization I belong to has many names, and the Hero Gang is just one of them, the original one.
When you were undercover under Fang Zhenhai, to be honest, you didn't dare to completely believe me, and I didn't dare to completely believe you, so there were a lot of things I didn't tell you.
But now that you have helped us move to Fang Zhenhai, even in Song Zhenqing's eyes, you are one of ours, and we can tell you everything about some things.
The Gang of Heroes was an organization founded by the boss. There are only seven people, from one to seven. Except for the boss who is the real boss, our names have nothing to do with our status and strength. My name is Qiu Erniang, but I am not ranked second.
.
So only the seven of us are the real gang of heroes, and the boss built the Zhengtian Alliance with the seven of us as the core."
Speaking of the Battle for Heaven Alliance, Qiu Erniang's face showed a bright look, and she asked Gu Cheng: "Do you believe in fate?"
Gu Cheng shook his head and said, "I don't believe in fate either in my previous life or in this life. If people are born with a destiny, then there is no need to climb and fight hard. Wouldn't it be better to just sit at home and wait for fate to come?"
Qiu Erniang nodded and said: "We also don't believe in fate, so fighting for heaven's alliance means fighting against heaven for fate!
Over the years, the Tiantian Alliance has continued to grow and develop, and the people it has absorbed are those who do not believe in fate and are unwilling to accept it.
We have people in the imperial court, Jingyesi, Jianghu, sects, and aristocratic families. Although the number is not large, I dare to say that there is no mediocre person.
If you, Gu Cheng, can achieve this level in Nanyi County, you are not mediocre in terms of strength and ability. You are considered to be the best among the Tiantian Alliance.
All seven members of the Hero Gang have the right to directly recruit people, so today I am here to ask you, are you willing to join the Heaven Confrontation Alliance?"
Gu Cheng thought for a moment and then asked, "What can I get?"
Seeing that Gu Cheng did not refuse immediately, Qiu Erniang showed a smile on her face:
“The Fighting Sky Alliance is built with the Heroes Gang as its core, and the way it conducts things is naturally the same as the Heroes Gang.
A good man has three gangs, you help me, I will help you, and you will be rewarded for your efforts.
Just like this time, you help me solve Fang Zhenhai, and I will help you solve your worries in Jingyesi.
What you get depends on what you pay.
When you need help, Zhengtianmeng will provide you with convenience.
When the Fighting Sky Alliance needs you, you must also contribute to the Fighting Sky Alliance, it’s that simple.”
Gu Cheng let out a long breath and said, "I choose to join."
Gu Cheng also made a deliberate decision to join the Zhengtian Alliance.
From a utilitarian point of view, Gu Cheng saw the true strength of the Zhengtian Alliance. The other party could cooperate with the general of Shenwuwei or even a powerful prince behind the general.
The temples are already considered top-notch.
Also, the Zhengtian League is not that kind of cult organization. Instead, it appears to be very loose. This looseness is what Gu Cheng values the most. He doesn't like to be restrained by others.
Of course, there is another point, that is, Gu Cheng does not have much choice. There is not much difference between joining or not joining.
Song Zhenqing knew that he was Qiu Erniang, and also knew Qiu Erniang's identity.
So in Song Zhenqing's view, he is already a member of the Fighting Heaven Alliance. Although Song Zhenqing should not talk nonsense about this kind of thing, and the existence of the Fighting Heaven Alliance is half hidden, but since it has been seen by others, it is better to lie.
The play is really done.
The smile on Qiu Erniang's face became even brighter. She clapped her hands and said, "Smart choice. I like to deal with smart people."
Saying that, Qiu Erniang threw a token directly to Gu Cheng. The token was made of who knows what, half of it was like black iron, glowing with extreme cold, and the other half was like gold and silver, glowing with cold.
A warm feeling.
Engraved on it was a being that looked like a dragon but not a dragon, something like a snake but not a snake, with a head and tail, and the two words "Strive for the Sky" were engraved in the middle blank.
"This is the token of our Heaven-fighting Alliance. It cannot be imitated by outsiders. After bleeding, it can be connected to your own blood without fear of loss. It can also passively gather the surrounding vitality during the day and night, which is of slight help to your cultivation."
Seeing Gu Cheng put the Heaven-Winning Order in his arms, Qiu Erniang patted Gu Cheng on the shoulder and said with a chuckle: "We are all our own people, so it's easy to talk about some things. I just want to leave something to you.
Woolen cloth."
Gu Cheng looked at Qiu Erniang, who had her eyes narrowed and smiled like a fox. He couldn't help but be speechless.
He wondered if Qiu Erniang had been waiting for him here for a long time, and she was recruiting because she had a task for him to do.
Seeing Gu Cheng's appearance, Qiu Erniang waved her hands and said: "Don't look like this, I'm not plotting against you, but I just happened to find that you are suitable for this task.
Besides, I have said before that no matter how much you have done for the Zhengtian Alliance, the Zhengtian Alliance will reward you. Once this mission is completed, you will inevitably get the benefits."
"What is the specific task?"
Qiu Erniang said in a deep voice: "It's very simple, as long as you can defend Nanyi County during this period, it will be fine. Do you know what the deal between our Zhengtian Alliance and the fourth prince Li Xiaowu of the imperial court is?"
