Cui Zijie was born in the standard Xuanjia Guard of Jingyesi, step by step from the bottom to the present, and he has always worked in a county in the Central Plains such as Donglin County. Although his work is not rigid, he has always been
Act within these rules.
But Gu Cheng was different. He would never do things under the same rules. Besides, he saw more after coming to Nanyi County.
The place in Nanyi County is noisy and chaotic. Whether you are Jingyesi or the military court, you always rely on your fists and knives to speak.
Evidence? What is that? Kill first and collect evidence later. The result will be the same anyway.
Hearing what Gu Cheng said at this time, Cui Zijie quickly wanted to persuade Gu Cheng not to act recklessly, but Gu Cheng was the first to say: "Sir, let me handle this matter now. I came to Nieyang Mansion just to
I need to ask for justice for you, my lord.
Besides, do you think that if I don’t take action at this time, Ye Zhengyang will be honest?
His position as commander-in-chief was robbed once by you, sir, and now it is robbed once again by me. I am afraid he hates you and me very much in his heart.
If you strike first, you will be strong, and if you strike later, you will suffer disaster. Today, when I take office, I will give them a big gift first!"
Looking at Gu Cheng, who spoke coldly and firmly in front of him, Cui Zijie couldn't help but have a strange look in his eyes. At this moment, Gu Cheng already made him feel a little strange.
But then Cui Zijie smiled bitterly and said nothing more.
The things Gu Cheng did in Nanyi County were beyond his imagination, and the status and achievements achieved by the opponent in one year were already higher than what he had achieved in decades.
At this time, if he uses his own experience to teach Gu Cheng, it is simply holding Gu Cheng back.
Besides, he had already ended up like this if he acted according to his own experience. If Gu Cheng continued to act in his direction, the end would not be better.
After thinking about it, Cui Zijie sighed: "There are talented people in every generation. During this time, I also figured out that I am actually too persistent.
Tie Tianying and Meng Hantang were younger and more aggressive than me, so they went to the Jingyesi headquarters in the capital.
But I just want to hold Jingyesi of Heyang Prefecture firmly in my hands. In fact, he is a guard dog. Most of the time, he does not seek merit but seeks no fault.
How can you compete with others when you do things with this kind of attitude?
Gu Cheng, you can do whatever you want, but you must remember one thing, that is, protect yourself first, and never let yourself fall into crisis."
Gu Cheng nodded and said to Song Chengxun: "What is the background of that Yuanchen sect? Please tell me in detail."
Song Chengxun said: "The Yuanchen sect is the largest sect in Nieyang Mansion, and it is one of the top five sects in the entire Donglin County.
Its main method is to cultivate Qi, and minor in some left-handed secret methods. In fact, its left-handed secret methods are very important.
The Yuanchen Sect was at its peak more than a hundred years ago, and its ancestor, "Yuanchen Zhenren" Lu Bingzhong, was the master of the Yuan Qi realm in the fifth realm of Qi refining.
However, as Lu Bingzhong gradually aged, no one from the next generation of the Yuanchen sect was able to step into the fifth realm of Qi refining, so his power was not as powerful as it was more than a hundred years ago.
As early as more than ten years ago, after Lu Bingzhong's 200th birthday, he had resigned from the position of leader and devoted himself to practice. Now the Yuanchen Sect is led by his direct disciple Qin Shenglai.
However, although the Yuanchen Sect has declined slightly than before, it is still very popular in the Nieyang Mansion. It is even rumored that Lu Bingzhong once mentored the current leader of the Xuanwu Zhenzong, Yan Shaokuan, and there is a trace of love between the two parties.
With such a relationship, the power of the Yuanchen Sect has not actually weakened much."
Gu Cheng touched his chin and said: "So this Yuanchen sect is not considered an evil sect? Then why do they kill people and extract souls? To increase the longevity of their ancestor? It doesn't seem right."
Regardless of whether you are a warrior or a Qi practitioner, your lifespan can almost double after entering the master realm, and you can easily live to be more than two hundred years old. Lu Bingzhong did not retire until he was two hundred years old. As long as he takes good care of himself, he can live for dozens more years.
It is also possible to live for ten years, and there is absolutely no need to use this evil method to extend your life.
Song Chengxun smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I don't know, our previous investigation was also stuck here. We really couldn't find a reason, so we were eager to catch someone alive and ask about the origin of the matter, but we got stuck.
The other party’s ambush.”
Gu Cheng stood up and said: "The reason is actually not important. Even if you really catch the person, what will happen if you have the witness? Are you going to find Xie Anzhi to handle the matter? With his character, even if he takes this matter
Even if the matter is suppressed, it will not be dealt with.
You still have to rely on yourself to do this kind of thing. Sir, you can cultivate here first, and I will go meet Ye Zhengyang for a while."
Cui Zijie nodded and said, "Let Song Chengxun and Atulu accompany you. After all, we have been here a few months earlier and know more about the situation than you."
"Where are you, sir?"
Cui Zijie smiled bitterly and said, "I'm already useless, what else can they do to me?"
Although Cui Zijie said so, Gu Cheng still left more than ten people to guard the courtyard, while he led people to find Ye Zhengyang.
In Zuixianlou, the largest restaurant in Nie Yang Mansion, a martial artist wearing Jingyesi Xuanjia, who looked to be in his forties and had a handsome and upright appearance, was sitting in a box with others, drinking wine.
This person is Ye Zhengyang, the deputy commander of the Nie Yang Mansion, but at this time he seems to be a little drunk, his face is reddish, and he seems to have some resentment.
"I just finished dealing with Cui Zijie, but in the blink of an eye, another Gu Cheng showed up. Brother Duan, I want an explanation for this matter!"
Ye Zhengyang glared at the middle-aged man in black robe in front of him, full of anger and looking furious.
I don't blame him for being angry. How long have you been waiting for this position?
When the old commander was here, he, Ye Zhengyang, had pretended to be his grandson for several years, and finally left the other party happily. He also got the other party's approval and handed over all his close men to him.
As a result, he was about to take over the position of commander-in-chief, but Cui Zijie took it instead.
Now he finally teamed up with the Yuan Chen faction to deal with Cui Zijie, but unexpectedly, Gu Cheng appeared out of thin air. This kind of thing simply made him collapse.
The middle-aged man in black robe said helplessly: "Master Ye, calm down and stop talking about you. Now I don't understand why Gu Cheng parachuted down from Jingyesi."
Ye Zhengyang snorted coldly: "I don't care! It was promised by your Yuanchen faction before that if I help you get rid of Cui Zijie, you will help me get the position of commander-in-chief.
Now that Cui Zijie has been crippled, he is no different from being dead. What are your promises? I know that you are still relevant even in Lin'an Mansion!"
The middle-aged man in black robe smiled bitterly and said: "Master Ye, it's useless to worry about me now. According to the information I heard, this Gu Cheng was not appointed by Xie Anzhi, but was sent from the Jingyesi headquarters in the capital.
If you are appointed by Xie Anzhi, we, the Yuanchen faction, will throw you, Lord Ye, into the position of commander-in-chief even if we throw money at you.
But you should know the rules of Jingyesi better than I do. Not even Xie Anzhi can stop the people personally sent from the capital headquarters."
Ye Zhengyang said bitterly: "Is it possible that I still have to endure it like this?"
The middle-aged man in black robe suddenly laughed slyly: "Master Ye, you are also a fan of the authorities.
You have been running the Nieyang Mansion for so many years, and everyone from top to bottom is yours. Cui Zijie can't beat you, and naturally these newcomers can't beat you either.
In addition, with the help of my Yuan Chen faction, the entire martial arts community in Nie Yang Mansion is on your side. These forces are enough for you to take advantage of Gu Cheng.
At that time, although you will be the deputy commander, you will have the power of the commander-in-chief.
Then we'll see if Gu Cheng is obedient. If he is disobedient, won't the result still be the same if we find another opportunity to kill him?
Anyway, you have been waiting for so many years, why are you so impatient now?"
Ye Zhengyang let out a sigh of relief. Although he was unwilling to do so, he had no choice but to do this now.
"Okay, I'll go back and wait, and I'll give Gu Cheng a showdown first!"
At this moment, the door was pushed open, Gu Cheng walked in and said with a big smile: "No need to bother Mr. Ye to come in person. I took the initiative to come to see how powerful this power is."
Ye Zhengyang's expression suddenly changed and he shouted: "Who are you?"
Gu Cheng said calmly: "You drank too much and your brain is hard to use? I am Gu Cheng, the new commander-in-chief of the Nieyang Mansion who you just said you wanted to stand aside and show off.
Now let’s talk about it, who hurt Mr. Cui? Is it a joint effort between you and the Yuanchen Faction? What exactly did the Yuanchen Faction want to do?”
The expressions of Ye Zhengyang and the middle-aged man in black robe suddenly changed, but they were not too afraid because Gu Cheng had no evidence.
They didn't sense Gu Cheng before, so Gu Cheng probably didn't hear what he said before. He only heard that he wanted to show off to him.
So Ye Zhengyang immediately slammed the table, stood up and coldly snorted: "Mr. Gu, although you are now my boss, you must also follow the rules when doing things.
Mr. Cui and I are both colleagues of Jing Yesi, so how could I harm him? Besides, who told you that I have a relationship with the Yuan Chen sect? It’s just nonsense!
It is simply unreasonable to impose such unwarranted charges on oneself!”
Gu Cheng said slowly: "Whether it's unnecessary or it really is, these are important to you, but not important to me.
Ye Zhengyang, I am too lazy to talk nonsense with you. Mr. Cui has a favor with me. I came to Nie Yang Mansion to seek justice for him.
You have been operating in Nieyang Mansion for so many years, and you are indeed qualified to stand up to me. I am too lazy to scheming with you here.
So whether you take action against Mr. Cui or not, you will not be able to leave here alive today."
Ye Zhengyang said in horror: "Are you crazy!? Killing colleagues without permission, do you know what kind of crime this is?"
A weird smile appeared on the corner of Gu Cheng's mouth and he said: "Who said I am good at killing my colleagues? Isn't the person next to you a member of Jing Yesi?
Ye Zhengyang, the deputy commander of the Nie Yang Mansion, died of exhaustion after fighting for 300 rounds in pursuit of the evildoer. This can be said to be a role model for our generation. How about this script?
I will give you some awards at that time, Mr. Ye. Don’t you want to be a commander? How about being an honorary commander?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of Ye Zhengyang and the middle-aged man in black robe beside him simultaneously became extremely ugly.
