All the people in the hall who came to celebrate his birthday were sitting there. When they saw Lu Bingzhong walking out with Gu Cheng, everyone looked stunned. Is this person very close to the Yuan Chen sect?
Looking at everyone present, Lu Bingzhong smiled and cupped his hands and said: "Thank you all for coming to attend the old man's birthday. The old man is about to die and he probably won't live for a few more years. I want to make it more lively if you can come and support me.
I would be very grateful."
Everyone present hurriedly said: "Master, you're welcome! With Master's cultivation level, maybe he can make further progress."
Everyone was there to compliment him. Jiang Hanlin, who was staying in the corner, wanted to say something like longevity, but his master immediately covered his mouth with his true energy.
This guy has no control over what he says, and he dares to say whatever he says without thinking. The head of the Qingyuan Sword Sect even regrets bringing him here.
Lu Bingzhong pressed his hand, pointed at Gu Cheng behind him and said: "Let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Gu Cheng, the new commander-in-chief of Nie Yang Mansion. He took over the position of commander-in-chief when he was more than 20 years old.
It’s incredible.”
Everyone present subconsciously wanted to say some compliments, but then Lu Bingzhong said calmly: "This Master Gu, who killed the outer steward of my Yuanchen sect when he first came to Nieyang Mansion, was really majestic and domineering.
very."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned and quickly suppressed the words that came to their mouths. The whole scene was completely silent. No one dared to say another word at this time.
Gu Cheng narrowed his eyes fiercely. He finally knew why Lu Bingzhong had such a birthday party.
This time, instead of being tough, the other side came to demonstrate!
Moreover, Gu Cheng was really surprised. He did not expect that the Yuan Chen Sect's power among the surrounding martial arts forces would be so high.
After all, he is also the commander-in-chief of Jingyesi, and he controls a person in a state capital. However, because of Lu Bingzhong's words, these people did not even dare to say a greeting, and would rather offend him to death than disobey him.
One can imagine the power of Yuan Chen Sect among the martial arts forces around Nieyang Mansion.
Then Lu Bingzhong laughed loudly: "You don't have to be so nervous. Although Master Gu killed someone from my Yuanchen faction, it was just a misunderstanding.
He just came to my Nieyang Mansion to take up the post, and no one said hello. Doesn't it mean that the martial arts people in my Nieyang Mansion have no rules?"
Hearing Lu Bingzhong's words, everyone present felt relieved and said in unison: "I have met Mr. Gu!"
Seeing the many sects below obeying Lu Bingzhong's words, Gu Cheng narrowed his eyes again.
Lu Bingzhong sent a message to Gu Cheng: "Master Gu, you have seen all this. The power of our Yuanchen Sect is here. We are enemies of my Yuanchen Sect. You will not be able to move even an inch in Nieyang Mansion!"
But after all, I have lived for more than two hundred years, and I know what it means to leave a line for people, so that they can meet each other easily in the future.
My disciple didn't know and was frightened to death, which led to this series of misunderstandings.
But Mr. Gu, you are a smart person, you should know this truth.
The imperial court is the imperial court, and the rivers and lakes are the rivers and lakes. Although the two are different, they are not necessarily in opposition.
Mr. Gu, if you want to secure your position as the commander-in-chief of Nieyang Mansion, as long as you don't look at things you shouldn't see and don't take care of things you shouldn't care about, nothing will happen."
Gu Cheng said calmly: "So, I, the commander-in-chief, want to look up to the Yuanchen faction?"
Lu Bingzhong shook his head and said: "That's not what I meant. It's just for everyone to get what they need. I believe, Mr. Gu, you will understand this truth."
After finishing speaking, Lu Bingzhong walked up to the front desk and greeted everyone coming and going.
After the birthday party was over and everyone had gone down the mountain, Qin Sheng walked up to Lu Bingzhong and asked: "Master, do you think Gu Cheng will agree to it? He didn't express it directly."
Lu Bingzhong said calmly: "How do you want him to express this kind of thing? Are you openly giving in to my Yuanchen faction? After all, he is the commander-in-chief of a government, and he also wants to have face, not someone like Ye Zhengyang.
None of this matters, as long as he doesn't cause trouble and acquiesces, everything will be fine.
This Gu Cheng is a smart man, and it is impossible for an idiot to become the commander-in-chief of a government at such an age.
And you, Qin Sheng, Yuan Chen sent me to you, but you must know that in charge of a large sect, you must walk on thin ice, and any order you make may lead to the life or death of the entire sect!"
………………
After returning to Jingyesi of Nie Yang Mansion, Gu Cheng only gave one order, that is, everyone should stay put and not conflict with the Yuan Chen faction until the critical moment.
Gu Cheng himself locked himself in the study, as if in seclusion, and asked people not to disturb him.
Of course, Gu Cheng is not in retreat now. He wrote on paper: Yuan Chen Sect, Xuan Wu Zhen Sect, Xie Anzhi, Yin Ming Jiedu Envoy Xu Xiao, the major martial arts forces in Nie Yang Mansion, etc. What he has to face now
.
The relationship between Nieyang Mansion and the entire Donglin County is extremely complicated. The purpose of the Yuanchen Sect, his purpose, the forces of all parties, etc. are now entangled together, like a mess, leaving him wondering where to start.
.
The situation in the Nie Yang Mansion was more complicated than Gu Cheng had imagined before arriving.
Before, he was just planning to seek justice for Cui Zijie, and then collect some evidence of Xie Anzhi's fatal crimes, which would be considered as completing the task. Who would have thought that so many things would be involved.
Gu Cheng stayed in the study for three full days. No one knew what Gu Cheng was thinking during these three days. But after three days, Gu Cheng put on Jing Yesi's black armor.
Head to Qingyuan Sword Sect.
In the past three days, he had sorted out everything he wanted to do, and laid out a big plan link by link. As for whether all of this can succeed, firstly, it depends on himself, and secondly, it depends on God's will.
The Nie Yang Mansion's martial arts world is monolithic, and the Yuan Chen Sect is too powerful. The first point of breaking the situation is actually the Qingyuan Sword Sect.
Perhaps because of practicing the Sumi Tuo Sutra, Gu Cheng now actually believes in cause and effect.
He had rescued the brother and sister at the mountain temple, but the cause and effect ended up here.
Before coming here, Gu Cheng asked about the details of the Qingyuan Sword Sect. Jiang Hanlin habitually boasted that in fact, the Qingyuan Sword Sect was really nothing in the entire Nieyang Mansion.
Its leader, Xu Linchen, has an early stage of sixth-grade cultivation. He is also kind and cautious, and he is a good old man.
But just being a good guy in the world of martial arts is not enough. He is not good at fighting, so the Qingyuan Sword Sect did not develop well in his hands. There are only a few dozen disciples in total, and its own resources are also limited.
When Gu Cheng arrived in front of the Qingyuan Sword Sect, he discovered that the Qingyuan Sword Sect was a sect worthy of its name, but it turned out that it didn't even have any disciples guarding the gate.
Gu Cheng went to knock on the door, and it was Han Jingjing who opened the door for him.
Seeing Gu Cheng coming, Han Jingjing was immediately surprised and said: "Brother Gu, why are you here? Are you here to see me and senior brother?"
Gu Cheng shook his head lightly, not embarrassed to lie to this girl: "Actually, I came to see your master, Sect Master Xu."
Han Jingjing didn't pay attention when she heard this, and immediately led Gu Cheng into it, shouting: "Master! Brother Gu is here to find you!"
Xu Linchen walked out of the hall and said as he walked: "How is it appropriate for a big girl to yell and scream? Where did you get a big brother?"
When he came out and saw Gu Cheng, Xu Linchen's expression suddenly changed. He forced out a smile, cupped his hands to Gu Cheng and said, "I didn't expect that Mr. Gu came here. I didn't welcome him from afar, but he still
Please don't mind, Sir."
Gu Cheng shook his head and said, "Of course I won't mind. I'm here to see you, Sect Leader Xu, today."
A wry smile suddenly appeared on Xu Linchen's face: "Master Gu, please sit inside."
He didn't want to have anything to do with Gu Cheng. Everyone could see now that Gu Cheng had a sensitive relationship with the Yuanchen sect. If a sect like his Qingyuan Sword Sect accidentally got involved,
But it ends in pieces.
Seeing Xu Linchen's appearance, Gu Cheng smiled and said, "It seems that Sect Leader Xu doesn't welcome me very much?"
Xu Linchen smiled bitterly and said: "If a wise man doesn't tell secret words, I can probably guess what Mr. Gu means when you come to me.
However, the scale of our Qingyuan Sword Sect is here. If you don’t count me, it is not even as strong as the night watchman Xuan Jiawei under your command. Even if I help you, it will be useless."
Gu Cheng shook his head and said: "Zong Master Xu, you don't need to be under so much pressure. I don't intend to force you to take action. But I'm just here to tell you one thing today. The Yuanchen faction and I will fight to the death!"
Xu Linchen's face suddenly showed a look of horror, but he could only say: "Then I can only wish Mr. Gu that you can win in the end."
Gu Cheng smiled half-heartedly and said, "Could it be that Sect Master Xu, do you think you will be fine?"
Xu Linchen said in shock: "Master Gu, didn't you say you wouldn't force me to take action?"
"I have no intention of forcing you to take action, but people from the Yuanchen Sect may think that your Qingyuan Sword Sect is closely related to me."
With a half-smile on his face, Gu Cheng said: "Sect Master Xu, do you still remember that your disciples, Brother Jiang and Miss Han, took the initiative to talk to me during the birthday banquet.
Qin Sheng saw it.
Even if I don't force you to take action, once I start a war with the Yuanchen Sect, do you think the Yuanchen Sect will be angry with you, the Qingyuan Sword Sect, because of this?
Of course you can also explain to the Yuanchen Sect, but do you think the Yuanchen Sect will listen to your explanation?
So I came here today just to tell you, Sect Master Xu, that once I am truly ready to fight against the Yuanchen Sect, you will have no choice.
Brother Jiang and Miss Han have known each other since we were young, and I don't want to harm them, so I came to inform you in advance.
Either you, Sect Leader Xu, just sit here and wait to be angered by the Yuanchen faction, or you can take the sect and move it out of Nieyang Mansion or even Donglin County while I am not taking action.
Of course, you can also choose to cooperate with me to bring down the Yuanchen faction.
There are many choices now, I will not force you, Sect Master Xu, you can choose whatever you want, Sect Master Xu."
