Chapter 153: Dismounting Mawei (Make up for the leader RhinoLee)
Losing an arm is actually not a big deal, at least for a practitioner with Lu Hongyuan's background.
There are countless weird and mysterious techniques in the world, and there are all ways to get a new arm.
For example, the Wu family's pulse-cutting and ghost-refining technique in western Hunan, if you don't like the side effects, there are other options.
What Lu Hongyuan really hates is that Gu Cheng ruined his efforts and ruined his foundation!
He was not favored in the Lu family. He was not the first wife, and he had an outstanding brother who suppressed him repeatedly.
So when he came to Nanyi County this time, he spent a lot of money to please Murong Hou just because he wanted him to support him.
In the end, the other party finally gave him an idea. He was about to develop his power and build a foundation in Nanyi County to show his family, but he was destroyed by Gu Cheng in the blink of an eye. How could he not hate it?
Gu Cheng destroyed Sanmuzhai and was slapped by Murong Hou, which caused him to lose his favorability. This made his already not-so-good life even worse.
Seeing Gu Cheng coming at this time, Lu Hongyuan said bitterly: "Brother Wei, do me a favor and give this Gu Cheng a blow!"
Song Xiaoran on the side said: "Hey, please take it easy, Mr. Murong still wants to see each other."
Wei Ziming and Lu Hongyuan were good friends. Hearing this, he chuckled and said, "Don't worry, it's just the spirit of killing the other party. Let the country bumpkin know that I, the people in Leping County, are different from these trash in Nanyi County!
"
Huang Laojiao's building boat sailed under the opponent's building boat and was one size smaller than the opponent's building boat.
Of course, the bigger the ship, the better. Huang Laojiao's building ship is a warship, and there are various crossbows and rune formations on it. Changing it to a larger ship will affect the speed.
Gu Cheng looked up and saw that the other party had no intention of throwing the ladder down, which made Wang Yuan's face darken.
He was still down there, and when the other party humiliated Gu Cheng, he was also humiliating him.
Raising his eyebrows, Gu Cheng's whole body's energy exploded. He took one step and was already running towards the boat.
At this time, Wei Ziming, who was standing on the bow of the boat, sneered. Suddenly, he made a seal with his hand, and the waves in the Qulan River suddenly became strong, and a wave swept towards Gu Cheng!
There is spiritual energy stirring in this wave, and it contains tremendous power. Ordinary seventh-level practitioners may have their muscles and bones broken by this huge wave.
There was a cold look in Gu Cheng's eyes, and he squeezed the Seal Jue with one hand. Xuanyin spiritual energy condensed crazily around Gu Cheng's body, and Xuanyin flying thunder suddenly burst out, exploding crazily in the water waves.
Moreover, the water wave was connected to Wei Ziming's spiritual energy, and the powerful force of Yin Thunder spread along the water wave to Wei Ziming's body. Suddenly, the opponent screamed and flew backwards.
Gu Cheng stepped forward and appeared on the deck. Song Xiaoran had no intention of taking action, and his relationship with Lu Hongyuan was not good.
But at this time, they were all together. When they saw Wei Ziming being blown away, the long sword in his hand unsheathed with a clang.
But before he could stab Gu Cheng with his sword, the Blood Abyss Sword in Gu Cheng's hand had already been thrust out, and Jiu Feng returned home, unstoppable!
The two swords collided, and Song Xiaoran suddenly felt a sharp sword energy and powerful force coming towards him. He couldn't help but take three steps back, with a look of extreme horror in his eyes.
Lu Hongyuan on the side wanted to take action. Gu Cheng said calmly: "You invited me here because you want to take action? If you had told me earlier, then I would have called all my soldiers to fight. There are more people than there are people? This is the south of the country.
Yijun!"
"That's enough. Isn't it embarrassing enough?"
A faint voice came from the cabin, and Lu Hongyuan and others immediately had to stop.
The faces of Wei Ziming and others were a little gloomy. This time they were really humiliated.
Originally he wanted to give Gu Cheng a slap in the face, but now it turned out that he, Gu Cheng, was the one giving him a kick.
Wang Yuan also jumped onto the ship and followed Gu Cheng into the cabin.
This time Wang Yuan came on behalf of the Wang family, and his identity should be that he could not help the two sides and remain neutral.
But as a person from Nanyi County, Wang Yuan was also very dissatisfied with the way the other warriors from Leping County were so domineering and domineering.
Gu Cheng stepped into the cabin, which was already filled with a banquet table and the 'Prince in White' Murong Hou sitting at the top.
Although Gu Cheng had never met the other party, Gu Cheng knew what kind of person he was just by his clothes and demeanor.
Wang Yuan followed Gu Cheng and secretly transmitted the message: "The one in white is Murong Hou. The young man in light armor is Yu Qianfeng, the most outstanding disciple of the younger generation of Zhanwu Pavilion. His strength here is
Second only to Murong Hou, Zhanwu Pavilion is also one of the thirty-two sects.
As for the others, although they are also from the top factions in Leping County, they are not comparable to the Zhanwu Pavilion and the Murong clan."
Gu Cheng nodded slightly. Wang Yuan could help him provide information while remaining neutral. This attitude was already biased in his favor.
At this time, Murong Hou waved his hand, with a smile on his face and said: "Brother Gu, please forgive me, it was just a joke."
Gu Cheng said calmly: "Yes, if I hadn't caught it, then the joke would have been on me.
What do you mean by calling me here? If you want to stand up for Mr. Lu, I will join you."
Everyone present was looking at Gu Cheng. Although they knew that Gu Cheng looked young, they did not expect him to be so young.
Moreover, the other party's attitude is really strong. Doesn't he know who he is facing?
Murong Hou was not angry at all, but simply said: "Come forward? Everyone present belongs to different sects of the aristocratic families. It is not anyone's turn to stand up for whom. If you want revenge, then do it yourself. What's the point of borrowing the help of others?
The only reason we came to see Brother Gu today is because we were a little negligent when we entered Nanyi County and did not communicate with you, Brother Gu, so today's banquet is regarded as compensation."
After saying that, Murong Hou picked up his wine glass and toasted Gu Cheng with a perfect attitude.
Gu Cheng raised his eyebrows, drank a glass of wine as well, and said calmly: "So Mr. Murong came here today to drink this glass of wine with me? I'm afraid it's not that simple."
Murong Hou smiled faintly: "I like to deal with smart people. Brother Gu was able to work as an undercover agent under Fang Zhenhai and reach a high position. At that time, he was appointed by the imperial court to temporarily take charge of Guangling City. No matter how you look at it, he is a smart person.
I believe you, Brother Gu, know why we came to Nanyi County. What happened last time was indeed a misunderstanding, but what happens in the future is not a misunderstanding.
I plan to collect all the bandits from Nanyi County, and at the same time support some small sects in Nanyi County to purchase elixirs and build a trade route from Nanyi County to Leping County and then to other counties.
I hope Brother Gu will do it for your convenience and stop treating us as bandits, and this time the matter will be over."
Everyone present looked at Murong Hou with strange eyes. This man just told Gu Cheng his plan to his face. Is this really good?
In fact, this is also a manifestation of Murong Hou's extreme confidence.
It's not that he doesn't want to use conspiracy and tricks, but he doesn't bother to use them at this time.
Even if he told Gu Cheng his purpose so directly, what could you, Gu Cheng, do? What dare you do?
Because there is no fear, there is no fear.
But after listening to Murong Hou's words, the smile on Gu Cheng's face gradually disappeared.
Others are here to gain experience, but Murong Hou is better, he is here to open up new territory and expand his territory.
Nanyi County does not have the most land bordering Shiwanda Mountain, but it has the best Feng Shui, and its main products are elixirs.
Murong Hou's approach was almost to monopolize a part of the elixir trade. Although he did not touch the properties of the Wang family and the Siji Sect, he blocked the way to acquire those elixir caravans.
Once Murong Hou and his gang develop into a powerful force in the local area, it will be almost impossible for them to collect even a single cent of the elixir.
The most important thing is that Murong Hou is also blocking his way to Gu Cheng.
Gu Cheng had previously offered to escort these caravans out of Nanyi County in exchange for 10% of the tax.
As a result, now Murong Hou wants to control all this and snatch away all his business, without even saying how much benefit he will share. This Murong Hou's attitude is already very obvious.
The other party didn't take him as the temporary commander-in-chief of Guangling City seriously at all.
Perhaps in Murong Hou's eyes, he, the temporary commander-in-chief of Guangling City, was just a decoration sent by the imperial court and had no role other than representing the imperial court.
As Murong Hou, he personally invited himself to the banquet. This was already a huge honor, so why did he need to pay for any additional benefits?
Gu Cheng's eyes gradually turned cold. He had not experienced this kind of unabashed contempt for a long time.
Putting down the wine glass, Gu Cheng said calmly: "It's convenient, but what if I don't want to do this?"
Wang Yuan almost broke out in cold sweat when he said these words.
Although he is still a figure in Nanyi County, he is calm in his work, and is highly valued by Wang Kaizhi, but he is nothing compared to a young hero like Murong Hou who is already famous in the world.
He was well aware of Murong Hou's character. Although he seemed personable and had the air of a family master, he was actually ruthless and decisive in his actions.
Even if Gu Cheng and Murong Houyang go against their will, they should at least leave this place first.
But before Murong Hou said anything, Lu Hongyuan suddenly stood up, pointed at Gu Cheng and said coldly: "Shameless!
Mr. Murong gave you face and opportunities, but you don't care about them. Do you really think you are a person? Bah!"
Gu Cheng raised his eyes and looked up. The next moment, the blood-sucking power exploded, and the true energy burned fiercely. The speed was so fast that everyone could only see an afterimage. Gu Cheng had already appeared in front of Lu Hongyuan.
Before he could react, he grabbed him by the neck and held him in his hands, staring at him with scarlet eyes stained with evil aura.
"You were lucky enough to let you escape last time. If you don't take advantage of the opportunity to live, you have to jump out and seek death. Or do you think that I really don't dare to kill you?"
