Chapter 210: Vengeance must be avenged, and kindness must be repaid
The Zhengtian Alliance and the Fourth Prince have always cooperated. The last time they overthrew Fang Zhenhai was part of their cooperation. One wanted to gain merit and the other wanted benefits.
However, these are limited to cooperation between masters and above. He has just joined the Tiantian Alliance, so what can the other party ask him to cooperate with?
Gu Cheng said in a deep voice: "Ninth Prince, please speak."
Li Xiaozhun asked: "You should be familiar with Mr. Xie Anzhigu, the governor of Donglin County, right?"
A strange expression appeared on Gu Cheng's face: "Of course it's very familiar."
He estimated that Xie Anzhi should be very impressed by him now, to be more precise, he should want to eat him alive.
After all, he killed Governor Hong last time, but it caused a lot of trouble for Xie Anzhi.
Li Xiaozhun said solemnly: "Xie Anzhi has always remained neutral before, but not long ago, Xie Anzhi defected to the second prince, and the second prince was the fourth brother's rival and a popular candidate for the throne.
Mr. Gu, you are from Donglin County and are very familiar with Donglin County, so I am going to let you go to Donglin County to be the commander first and look for opportunities to bring down Xie Anzhi. If you don't have the chance, you will also collect some information on his weaknesses and other things.
"
Gu Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this. He didn't expect that what Li Xiaozhun told him was such a thing.
To be honest, Donglin County is no longer a dragon's nest or a tiger's den for Gu Cheng.
With the Zhengtian Alliance behind him as a backer, he doesn't have to be afraid of Xie Anzhi.
And he had also killed the Grand Master, so there was hope that he could avenge the Xuanwu Zhen Sect's grudge.
But there is one more thing that needs to be discussed in detail, that is, what can you get?
Gu Cheng thought for a moment and said: "Ninth Prince, don't blame me for speaking directly, what can I gain from this career?
Now I am already the commander-in-chief of Guangling City. My actual status is comparable to that of the governor. The position I am transferred to the capital is half a level higher than that of the commander-in-chief. After all, it is the headquarters of Jingyesi in the capital.
At this time, if I go to Donglin County to serve as the commander-in-chief for a period of time, it may seem like a smooth move, but in fact it will be a secret resignation, which is not a good thing for me."
Li Xiaozhun said with a smile: "Master Gu, you don't have to worry about this. Fourth brother has cooperated with the Zhengtian Alliance more than once, and of course he will not let you suffer a loss, Master Gu.
I have asked Master Yu before that the position arranged for you by the Zhengtian Alliance in the capital is to be the commander of the torture department at the Jingyesi headquarters.
The level is the same as that of the commander-in-chief of the state capital, but as Mr. Gu said, the actual status is half a level higher than that of the commander-in-chief of each region.
And if Mr. Gu completes the mission of Donglin County, the fourth brother will personally come forward to help Mr. Gu move around and help you win the position of commander of the four regions of Jingyesi Capital City.
Mr. Gu, you should know that as long as all the Xuanjia guards who enter Jingyesi in the capital are demoted one level, only those with seventh grade are qualified to be Xuanjia guards, and only those with sixth grade are qualified to be night patrols. There are forty-nine cities in the capital, except
The central imperial city is under the direct jurisdiction of Long Xiangwei. The remaining forty-eight cities are divided into four regions: southeast, southeast, and northwest. Each region is governed by a commander.
Some of the weakest of these four domain commanders are at the peak of the sixth rank, half-step to the master realm, and there are even beings who have already entered the master realm. Only old people with extremely high qualifications in Jingyesi are qualified to sit in qualified positions.
The status is only half a level lower than that of the governor.
At present, the commander of the Eastern Territory in the headquarters of Jingyesi is in his prime, his strength has reached the middle stage of the fifth level, and he should be ready to be sent out to become the governor of the town.
As long as you complete this mission, Mr. Gu, no matter what your strength is when the time comes, Fourth Brother will find a way for you to take this position.
The Commander of the Interrogation Department is only half a rank higher than the Grand Commander, while the position of the Commander of the Eastern Territory is only half a rank lower than that of the Governor. The two sounds the same, but in reality their status and power are completely different."
Gu Cheng pondered for a moment, and what Li Xiaozhun said was indeed very attractive.
At this time, he looked at Qiu Erniang, who also nodded and said: "The Ninth Prince is right. At the moment, the only thing that our Tiantian Alliance can win for you is the position of Commander of the Torture Department. The Commander of the Eastern Territory is temporary.
If you can’t do it, you can make up your own mind whether to accept this task or not.”
At this time, Li Xiaozhun said again: "Actually, I originally planned to talk about these conditions later, but there is one more thing I plan to talk about first, sir, please go to Donglin County.
But after seeing you, Mr. Gu, I gave up this idea.
Mr. Gu, you are a smart person. You should have noticed when I show off my cleverness in front of you, but I am too lazy to do such a simple and disgusting thing, so let's open the skylight and speak frankly."
"Oh, what happened?"
Li Xiaozhun said: "Your old boss, Cui Zijie, the commander-in-chief of Heyang Mansion, was seriously injured, and his martial arts may even be disabled."
Gu Cheng's eyes suddenly changed, and a fierce evil aura emerged around him, but it was suppressed in an instant. He asked in a low voice: "Dare you ask the Ninth Prince what is going on?"
Gu Cheng rarely owed favors to others, and he didn't like to owe favors, but Gu Cheng had to admit that he owed Cui Zijie a favor.
Cui Zijie was kind to him. Ever since he joined Jingyesi of Heyang Mansion, Cui Zijie had taken good care of him.
With Gu Cheng's character, if he had a stingy boss, he might not be able to rise so quickly.
Of course, these were just small favors. The real big favor was when Cui Zijie asked him to come to Nanyi County to deliver the recruitment order.
Cui Zijie took a huge risk to do this thing that time. With Xie Anzhi's character, he would not let him go lightly, and there was a possibility that Xuanwu Zhenzong would cause trouble for him.
And if Cui Zijie hadn't given Gu Cheng the opportunity to come to Nanyi County to deliver the recruitment order, Gu Cheng would not have had this series of opportunities and his current status.
So he owes Cui Zijie a favor, a big favor.
At this time, when he heard that Cui Zijie had been severely injured and lost his martial arts skills, Gu Cheng's murderous intention spread.
Li Xiaozhun said: "This matter has something to do with you, Mr. Gu.
The Heyang Mansion previously run by Cui Zijie should be regarded as a relatively prosperous and stable state capital in Donglin County, but because Cui Zijie let you go, Xie Anzhi turned his anger on Cui Zijie.
It's just that the status of the commander is not low anymore. Even the governor cannot kill or erase the commander's position at will. He needs to report it to the headquarters of Jingyesi in the capital.
So Xie Anzhi found a random excuse to transfer Cui Zijie from Heyang Mansion, which he had run for more than ten years, to Nieyang Mansion, another relatively chaotic state capital, as the commander-in-chief.
Nieyang Mansion is located on the edge of Donglin County, and the situation is a bit chaotic. Bai Ziwei of the Xuanwu Zhen Sect also vented his anger on Cui Zijie because he could not find you. The local martial arts sect did not give Cui Zijie much face.
I don’t know what happened in the end, but Cui Zijie was suddenly severely injured. Although his life was not in danger, Xie Anzhi didn’t care. Apparently he didn’t want to get involved in this matter and let him fend for himself. He just reported to the court that the commander-in-chief needed to be replaced.
."
Gu Cheng let out a long breath and said to Li Xiaozhun: "No need to say more, Ninth Prince, I will take over this task. After I finish handling Luo Jiao's affairs, I will go to Donglin County."
Li Xiaozhun is a smart man. If he had told this matter from the beginning, Gu Cheng would have agreed directly without hesitation, but he could also sense the other party's intention to take advantage of it.
But now he laid out all the conditions clearly, and when he finally told Gu Cheng, the matter seemed much more upright.
Now Gu Cheng is very curious about the fourth prince Li Xiaowu. What kind of person can let a prince with outstanding means like Li Xiaozhun follow him? Or is it possible that the average quality of the princes in Daqian is so high?
After finalizing everything, Gu Cheng pretended that nothing happened and waited directly in Jingyesi for the movements of Luo Jiao and his gang.
It was not until three days later that news came from the Luo Jiao side, and the action was bigger than Gu Cheng imagined, and even shocked the entire Nanjiu County!
Because Luo Jiao actually issued a reward order for Gu Cheng’s head!
In places like Nanjiu County, where the court's control is extremely weak, there have indeed been cases where the Shoe Cult placed a bounty on the heads of Jing Yesi or powerful military figures.
However, it was only under rare circumstances that Luo Jiao would do this when some high-ranking officials with a strong attitude posed a great threat to him.
Gu Cheng should be the only person in the imperial court who was offered a bounty on his head by the Luo Jiao because of his sixth-grade strength.
Of course, Yan Beigong was included in the reward order, but Luo Jiao seemed to know that Yan Beigong would definitely hide, so the reward amount was not as large as Gu Cheng.
Just look at the amount of Gu Cheng's reward and you will know that it does not use gold or silver or other things, but a top-grade mysterious weapon, a bottle of boundary-breaking pill, which can be used by sixth-grade practitioners to break through small realms, and an ancient top-grade Taoist skill. Law.
These things are extremely attractive to beings below the master level, and Luo Jiao also spent a lot of money to kill Gu Cheng.
As soon as this reward order came out, the entire Nanjiu County was excited. They were all curious, what did Gu Cheng do to make the Luo Jiao hate him to the bone? Did he dig up the grave of an ancestor of the Luo Jiao?
Two days later, news spread that Gu Cheng had destroyed the branch of Luo Jiao in Taikang County and had teamed up with Yan Beigong to kill a grandmaster of Luo Jiao. This immediately caused an uproar among everyone.
Killing the Qi Refining Master of the fifth level with the sixth level, this kind of thing is enough to make people horrified no matter what time it happens. Although it was a siege, after all, it only took two people.
Moreover, Gu Chengke also killed one of Luo Jiao's sub-helms, which was a cruel enough move.
Gu Cheng showed a smile after hearing the news.
The more people come, the better, just catch them all in one go!
As for who revealed the news in Fengxian Village, Gu Cheng knew without guessing that it must be Chen Jishen and his gang.
This group of people were probably secretly jealous that he had obtained the inheritance while they and others had returned empty-handed, so they secretly spread the news and did things that were harmful to others and not beneficial to themselves, to add fuel to the flames.
But Gu Cheng didn't bother to trouble them, because Luo Jiao would also settle accounts with them.
These guys have too narrow vision and only care about adding fuel to the flames for Gu Cheng. However, they have forgotten that it is not a glorious thing to have a branch destroyed and a grandmaster beheaded.
Luo Jiao only offered a reward for Gu Cheng's head, but didn't say why he was offering the reward. However, these guys revealed everything. They were simply seeking death.
