Murong Hou was too arrogant, even to the point where he didn't even pay attention to the existence of the master level.
Therefore, Murong Hou did not take the Wang family and Siji Sect into account from the very beginning.
At this time, once the Wang family and the Siji Sect have an excuse to intervene in this matter openly, what can you do, Murong Hou? Can you challenge the existence of the master level?
Yu Qianfeng laughed even more, glanced at Murong Hou, and then at Gu Cheng.
Murong Hou thought that he could defeat him for the rest of his life. Gu Cheng wanted to use him as a knife to deal with Murong Hou. In fact, he was the winner in this round!
On the night when Gu Cheng went to find him, Yu Qianfeng had already made a plan and went straight to the Siji Sect and the Wang family to make a promise to them and give them enough excuses to take action.
Everything that happened before was just a warm-up. Only when the scene was big enough would the Wang family and the Siji Sect have the reason and opportunity to intervene.
Murong Hou's face flushed for a while, then suddenly turned pale, and another stream of blood flowed out of his mouth. He didn't know whether it was because of the backlash of his strength or because of his anger.
But at this moment, he suddenly showed a smile and looked at Gu Cheng and then at Yu Qianfeng.
"Interesting, interesting, this time I'm exaggerating, but next time, I will treat you as a real opponent.
Yu Qianfeng, you have made great progress, but unfortunately, as long as I am still in Leping County, you will always be ranked second!"
After finishing speaking, Murong Hou waved his sleeves, turned around and left.
He, Murong Hou, is not someone like Lu Hongyuan, who would let his emotions dominate his mind.
He was indeed angry before, just as Gu Cheng said of him, he was too compliant and had never experienced any beating from society.
That's why he was so angry after Gu Cheng confronted him tit for tat and used a series of methods to make him embarrassed.
Greed, anger, obsession, love, evil, desire, seven emotions and six desires, even Murong Hou could not avoid it.
But after being suppressed by Wang Kaizhi and Su Xuanji, he figured out that this time he was indeed defeated by his own pride. It should be said that he had been defeated since he arrived in Nanyi County.
The other people in Leping County took this experience very seriously, but only he, Marquis Murong, came with the attitude of taking a vacation.
He didn't pay attention to Gu Cheng, he didn't pay attention to Yu Qianfeng, he didn't even pay attention to the entire Nanyi County.
With this attitude, he fought against Gu Cheng and others, making one mistake after another, and in the end there was no room for him to fight back.
But it doesn't matter, he, Murong Hou, is neither frustrated nor defeated so easily. Next time, he will go all out!
After Murong Hou left, Yu Qianfeng smiled and cupped his hands at Wang Kaizhi and Su Xuanji: "Thank you, Sect Master Su, and Family Master Wang for helping me this time.
I promised the two families to open a trade route between Zhanwu Pavilion and Nanyi County, and I will send a letter back to the sect and ask the sect to send someone to manage this matter."
Wang Kaizhi smiled and said: "Of course I believe in the reputation of Zhanwu Pavilion. In return, all the elixirs produced by some of the affiliated sects under my command will be handed over to you, Master Yu."
Gu Cheng's expression was a little ugly, and he snorted coldly: "Master Yu, you are a little unscrupulous in doing things like this. You and I have made an agreement before, but now you go behind my back to do business with the Siji Sect and the Wang family. This
What does it mean again?”
Yu Qianfeng smiled proudly: "Master Gu, you can't say that. The agreement you and I made before was only about how to deal with Murong Hou, but we didn't say how to distribute the benefits after dealing with Murong Hou.
You are a member of the imperial court, and I am a member of the world. Of course, this transaction will be conducted with the Wang family and the Siji Sect first.
Thank you Mr. Gu for helping me deal with Murong Hou this time. From now on, my trade routes will be protected by the Siji Sect and the Wang family. If others think about 'catastrophe', it will not be that easy."
Yu Qianfeng is indeed very proud now.
Murong Hou's pride led to his failure. Gu Cheng thought he had planned everything secretly, but in the end, he secretly robbed him. The interests of the three parties were calculated, and he was the only one who was the winner. How could he be dissatisfied?
Under Gu Cheng's gloomy gaze, Yu Qianfeng waved his hand and left with his men in triumph.
But after Yu Qianfeng left, the gloomy look on Gu Cheng's face disappeared instantly. He smiled and cupped his hands at Wang Kaizhi and Su Xuanji and said, "Thank you, Master Wang and Sect Master Su, for taking action this time."
Gu Cheng's words were exactly the same as Yu Qianfeng's, but Wang Kaizhi and Su Xuanji's reactions this time were much more real.
Wang Kaizhi shook his head gently and said: "Master Gu, there is no need to be too polite. You have paved the way for us. If we don't take action, we will be very sorry for ourselves."
Su Xuanji even sighed: "Then Yu Qianfeng still thinks that he has finally gained. If he knew that you had arranged all this, Mr. Gu, I don't know what he would think."
Yu Qianfeng thought he was the winner, but he didn't know that Gu Cheng had already contacted Wang Kaizhi and Su Xuanji before him.
The Wang family and the Siji Sect were unable to take action because the Murong family had said hello before. The two families did not dare to offend the Murong family and the Leping County Wulin.
But now Gu Cheng has made the matter more and more serious, and even instigated the small sects to collectively oppose Murong Hou. To this extent, if the Wang family and the Siji Sect, as the leaders of the martial arts forces in Nanyi County, do not take action, wouldn't it be too bad?
Too cowardly?
If these two factions still have concerns, well, Gu Cheng has already found their scapegoat, and that is Yu Qianfeng.
At the moment, everyone thought that Yu Qianfeng wanted to compete with Murong Hou, so he teamed up with Gu Cheng, secretly rebelled, and contacted the Wang family and the Siji Sect to take action.
So in Leping County, even if the Murong family wants to cause trouble, they will go to the Zhanwu Pavilion. If they really come to find the Wang family and the Siji Sect, these two families can blame the Zhanwu Pavilion.
There.
I can't afford to offend any of you big forces in Leping County. You can decide the winner first and then come to me to hold me accountable.
Gu Cheng had prepared the reasons for taking action and the subsequent explanation for them. If the Wang family did not take action, then they would not call Qingfeng Wang Xie the king, but the king of Bastard.
Even the benefits that Qian Feng received were given to him by Gu Cheng from the Wang family and Siji Sect.
The purpose was to allow Yu Qianfeng to gain enough benefits from this matter and think that he was the final 'winner', so as to attract the hatred of the Murong family.
This was what Su Xuanji was sighing about. Although Gu Cheng's strength was not terrible, Gu Cheng's series of methods impressed even Su Xuanji, a master-level figure.
If Gu Cheng had sincerely worked for Fang Zhenhai, maybe now Fang Zhenhai would be able to leave Nanyi County and take over Nanjiu County.
Of course, this assumption does not exist. If Gu Cheng really works for Fang Zhenhai, the longer the time goes by, the more dangerous Gu Cheng will be.
With Fang Zhenhai's character, he can't even tolerate a Gao Jiande. Sooner or later, Gu Cheng will achieve great success and shock the master.
After the chaotic battle, everything has actually settled.
Gu Cheng did not lose. The sects in Nanyi County finally chose to compromise with Gu Cheng and threw the pills in their hands directly to Gu Cheng. They did not even need Gu Cheng to escort them. They just wanted not to lose money. These little guys
The sect really can't afford to bother.
There is at least a basic guarantee in cooperating with the imperial court. Even if Gu Cheng leaves, the next successor will be Gu Cheng's person and can guarantee their interests.
Just like Gu Cheng himself boasted, there was someone "above" him.
As for Dou Guangquan, Gu Cheng also gave them part of the elixir trading rights, and it was obvious that he was preparing to cooperate with him for a long time.
Gu Cheng was not that "loyal" to the court. After all, he had gone through nine years of compulsory education in his previous life. Of course, he could not have so many feudal loyal thoughts, and the emperor did not give him a wife.
Rebellious thieves like Dou Guangquan only seek survival and profit. In fact, they all know that it is impossible for them to overthrow the imperial court. The real terror is those guys hiding in the dark.
Giving them some benefits and maintaining the relationship will be very useful at critical moments.
So after this incident, Gu Cheng's prestige in Nanyi County is higher than before.
Before, Gu Cheng relied on the deterrence brought by the destruction of Yunhaiguan to collect 10% of the tax revenue from those small forces. He only had fear and no respect.
But now they have a certain respect for Gu Cheng, and they know who they can cooperate with for a long time and for stability.
It seems that the only person who failed in this matter was Murong Hou and some of the Leping County warriors who followed him.
It stands to reason that Murong Hou has been defeated this time. His fall out with Yu Qianfeng caused the group of warriors in Leping County to be divided. He also lost his reputation in Nanyi County, and the sect disciples in Nanyi County no longer
If he chooses to believe him, he should choose to return to Leping County at this time.
But I don't know why, perhaps Murong Hou was unwilling to fail, or perhaps he was afraid that returning like this would damage his reputation in the Murong family, so he still chose to stay in Nanyi County.
Moreover, this Murong Hou is really extraordinary, even in this situation, he can find an opportunity.
He actually chose to purchase the elixirs from the casual cultivators in Nanyi County and transport them to Leping County. He still had some people under his command, who were enough to complete these things.
Although the quantity cannot be compared with the elixirs produced by the major forces in Nanyi County, it is still a batch of profits.
Gu Cheng knew about these things, but Gu Cheng didn't care about them.
As long as Murong Hou doesn't mess with him for the time being, Gu Cheng naturally has no intention of fighting with Murong Hou to the end.
After all, he won't be able to stay in Nanyi County for long, so he might as well practice and earn profits during his free time.
Since that battle, Gu Cheng has been in seclusion, studying martial arts, refining qi and integrating them into one. This can be regarded as the inspiration given to him by Murong Hou.
Although they were enemies, Gu Cheng had to admit that Murong Hou did have his own unique insights in the practice of spiritual practice. This was not even comparable to those who had reached the master level, and it was worthy of Gu Cheng's study.
