On the first day that he took office, Gu Cheng expelled them all from the Jingyesi headquarters of Nieyang Mansion. Moreover, the people he sent were nominally to facilitate contact, but in fact they were here to supervise them. This naturally made them
Very dissatisfied.
However, they had to endure their dissatisfaction at this time. Gu Cheng's power was displayed here, who dared to say no?
Gu Cheng sent all these people away without paying attention.
His strong move cannot be called a combination of kindness and power, it can be regarded as a threat, but he is not afraid of losing people's hearts because he does not need the loyalty of these people.
When he was operating in Nanyi County, he was doing it for his own people. If he needed to use the power of Nanyi County in the future, he could do so.
But Gu Cheng couldn't stay in Nieyang Mansion or the entire Donglin County for long. If he found a way to collect some information on Xie Anzhi's fatal weaknesses, he would have completed his mission and could go directly to the capital to take up his post. He was running the business here.
What's the use of being so precise?
Song Chengxun came over and asked, "Sir, what should we do now?"
At this time, Song Chengxun was really convinced by Gu Cheng.
When he was in Heyang Mansion before, Song Chengxun only felt that Gu Cheng was a bit calculating and did not have much favorable impression of him.
Later, when Gu Cheng came forward to kill Governor Hong for Xiao Yi, Song Chengxun felt that Gu Cheng was different from those arrogant people, and his favorable impression of him greatly increased.
But this time when he met Gu Cheng, it could be said that Gu Cheng was far beyond his imagination, both in terms of strength and means of doing things.
No matter how weird Song Chengxun's temper was and how cold his personality was, what he called an adult was sincere.
Gu Cheng narrowed his eyes and said, "Wait!
I killed Duan Nanping and came out with his head in a big way. The Yuanchen faction should have got the news.
I've already taken action here, it's up to them to see how they fight back.
Casting stones to ask for directions, I killed Duan Nanping just to see how important this Xuanyin Spirit Fruit is to the Yuanchen Sect. The more actions they take, the greater the flaws will be."
The Jingyesi headquarters in Nie Yang Mansion was directly occupied by Gu Cheng, and the people he brought were put on Jingyesi's Xuanjia to guard here. At the same time, Gu Cheng also brought Cui Zijie to the Jingyesi headquarters.
.
After Cui Zijie listened to Gu Cheng's series of actions, he let out a long sigh.
The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. Although he is in the prime of life according to the warrior's age, compared with Gu Cheng, he looks old.
Inside the house, Gu Cheng checked Cui Zijie's injuries.
Gu Cheng was busy occupying Jingyesi in Nie Yang Mansion, so he didn't have time to ask Cui Zijie's injury in detail.
"Don't look at it, I know the extent of my own injuries.
The one who took action was a left-handed master who practiced Yinxie secret arts, and he was much better than me.
My Dantian meridians have been penetrated and invaded by the evil energy. As long as I use Gang Qi, it will cause conflicts and tear the meridians in my body. It is impossible for me to fight against anyone in this life.
But it doesn’t matter, I’m ready to retire anyway, and with my merits, I can definitely find a stable logistics position within the Jingyesi Division.”
Cui Zijie looked away at this time. Maybe it was because he was wide and fat, or maybe he was more open-minded after experiencing the calamity of life and death. He no longer cared much about his cultivation, which was rare.
Most warriors value their own cultivation even more than their own lives. Just like Fang Wuwei, he committed suicide directly after his cultivation was abolished and his obsession was eliminated. It is rare for Cui Zijie to be able to think about it.
At this time, Gu Cheng smiled and said: "Not necessarily, maybe Mr. Cui, you will be a blessing in disguise.
The Xuanyin Spirit Fruit that the Yuanchen Sect wants is composed of extremely yin energy and is extremely pure.
Mr. Cui, what you practiced before was Ziyang Gangqi, which is a very strong and Yang method, so there will be conflicts when the Gangqi is used.
But if you refine the Xuanyin Spirit Fruit, convert all the qi in the meridians in your body into yin attributes, and then practice a yin attribute method again, not only will there be no conflict between the qi, but the speed of your practice will skyrocket, and you will only fight against yourself.
The force needs to be broken in for a while.”
Although Cui Zijie had already looked away, there was still a hint of joy in his eyes when he heard what Gu Cheng said.
"But the Xuanyin Spirit Fruit is not easy to come by. The matter of Yuan Chen Sect is still a problem."
Gu Cheng looked outside, squinted his eyes and said, "I'm here to solve the problem."
………………
Thirty miles outside of Nie Yang's Mansion, Jiuyuan Mountain is where the Yuanchen Sect's sect is stationed. It is surrounded by strange peaks and steep mountains, but only when you reach the top will you find that the entire mountain has been flattened and covered with water.
A palace and a house were built and became the residence of the sect.
Next to a thatched house in the back mountain of the Yuanchen sect, an old man in Taoist robes with white hair and a boyish face looked at the middle-aged man kneeling in front of him, with a vague look of anger flashing across his face.
But he still suppressed his temper and asked: "What happened? How did Duan Nanping die?"
This old Taoist priest is Lu Bingzhong, the ancestor of Yuanchen Sect, and the person kneeling in front of him is Qin Sheng, the leader of this generation of Yuanchen Sect.
Qin Sheng lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Master, it should have been the new commander-in-chief of the Nieyang Mansion, Gu Cheng, who was so ruthless that he killed Ye Zhengyang and Duan Nanping as soon as he came up.
.
But I guess Duan Nanping shouldn't dare to reveal anything. He should know that he will die if these things are mentioned. If we don't say these things, at least we can still treat his family well."
Lu Bingzhong snorted coldly: "I think you should be the cruel one!
Things were going well initially, but in the end you insisted on killing Cui Zijie.
Although Cui Zijie was hated by Xie Anzhi and even offended Xuanwu Zhenzong, he is still the commander-in-chief of Jingyesi. If he dies, can you guarantee that no one will come to investigate?
It's good now, although no one is here to check, but there is a more troublesome guy coming from the Nie Yang Mansion!"
It was Qin Sheng's own decision to attack Cui Zijie, and Lu Bingzhong didn't actually know it.
Ever since he abdicated the throne in favor of his superiors, his ancestor had been concentrating on recuperating in the back mountains and basically did not interfere in major matters.
Who would have thought that Qin Sheng didn't discuss such a big matter with him and made the decision himself.
Qin Sheng smiled bitterly and said: "Master, this matter is indeed a mistake made by the disciple. I overestimated Ye Zhengyang.
Ye Zhengyang swore to me that as long as Cui Zijie is eliminated, he will definitely become the commander-in-chief and will turn a blind eye to any actions of my Yuanchen faction.
In the end, who would have thought that after Cui Zijie deposed him, he failed to become the commander-in-chief. This person is simply unable to hold up the wall!
However, it was impossible not to touch Cui Zijie in that situation. The fat man was soft on the outside and strong on the inside. He was very senior in the Jingyesi Division and was about to touch the bottom line of our Yuanchen Sect. In that case, it was necessary to
Just get rid of him."
Lu Bingzhong snorted coldly: "In the end, you missed it, and the person is not dead yet."
Qin Sheng lowered his head and said: "Master, forgive me, but what should I do with Gu Cheng now? If not, just do what Cui Zijie did and find a way to kill him?"
I heard that Xie Anzhi also had a grudge against him, so he probably wouldn't come to investigate this matter."
Lu Bingzhong shook his head in disappointment and said: "Qin Sheng, you are the most accomplished among my disciples, so I handed over the position of the leader to you without much thought.
But you must also remember that matters in this arena cannot be solved by just fighting and killing.
If you killed Gu Cheng, Xie Anzhi might not investigate, but two commanders of this small Nie Yang Mansion died one after another. Do you think the people in Jingyesi are all idiots? They can't even see such strange things.
come out?"
Qin Sheng hesitated: "What should we do? This person's methods are sharper than Cui Zijie's."
Lu Bingzhong squinted his eyes and said: "I, Yuan Chen, have my power here. I can obviously overwhelm others with my power, so why do I have to take risks and kill people?
Well, this time I will put aside my old face again and inform the Nieyang Mansion and the surrounding sects that I will hold a 218th birthday and invite everyone to come. The most important thing is
Invite Gu Cheng as well.
I want to see if the power that my Yuanchen sect has gathered over the years can suppress that Gu Cheng. If he fights with my Yuanchen sect, he will be unable to move even an inch in the Nie Yang Mansion!"
………………
Three days later, all the sects of the Nieyang Mansion, large and small, received invitations from the Yuanchen Sect, saying that their ancestor was celebrating his 218th birthday and invited everyone to come.
After receiving this news, there were many people who secretly scolded Lu Bingzhong for having too much trouble.
Although Lu Bingzhong is older, what kind of birthday does he celebrate inexplicably? Is it possible that it still happens every year?
They have to give gifts every birthday. If they don't give too much, they are afraid that the Yuanchen sect will hold a grudge, so the major sects around them are not willing to come, but they have to come.
The Yuanchen sect is said to be located in Nieyang Mansion, even in the entire Donglin County. It is a large sect with a high reputation, and there are strong masters at the level of masters.
Although the grandmaster Lu Bingzhong is already old and it seems that he will not live for a few more years, as long as he lives for one day, the Yuanchen Sect will be a large sect with a grandmaster in charge.
Gu Cheng naturally received the invitation, and he couldn't help but feel a little funny. This Yuanchen sect was quite creative. He was waiting for the other party's response, but the other party actually planned a birthday banquet. It seemed that the other party should not
He had no choice but to directly kill himself like he did with Cui Zijie.
This kind of occasion was not suitable for bringing too many people, so Gu Cheng simply didn't bring anyone with him and went to the Yuanchen Sect alone.
Jiuyuan Mountain, where the Yuanchen Sect is located, was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations at this time. It didn't look like someone was celebrating a birthday, but as if someone was getting married.
Because there were so many people coming, the disciples in charge of hospitality in the sect were overwhelmed by the reception, so they could only place a bunch of tables and chairs at the door for everyone to sit down first, and then served tea and snacks to ask everyone to wait.
Gu Cheng was sitting in the corner, grabbing a handful of melon seeds, cracking them while squinting his eyes to look at the disciples of the Yuan Chen Sect.
At this moment, he suddenly felt two eyes staring at him. Gu Cheng turned his head to look, and after being stunned for a moment, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.
