The Yinming Land at the junction of the two counties is not completely isolated from the outside world. Although there are not many people like Cao Yinjiu who can contact some of the ghosts, there are also many.
So after the sudden riot in the Yinming land, some people started to contact the ghosts in it, but it was not until three days later that they came to the conclusion that Xie Anzhi had died together with the Yinming Jiedushi Xu Xiao.
Even Yinhuo City was reduced to ruins!
The truth of the battle in Yinhuo City has been completely buried with the destruction of Yinhuo City, but the previous battle between Xie Anzhi and Xu Xiao was superior to the entire Yinhuo City, so they were seen in the distance
There are a lot of ghosts to fight.
Anyway, in their opinion, this was a battle between Xu Xiao and Xie An, and then the Yinhuo City exploded, much like Xie Anzhi came to trouble Xu Xiao, and then Xu Xiao detonated the Yinhuo City and perished with him.
That's what happened. Although there seemed to be no problem, the entire Donglin County, whether it was the major sect forces or the generals from other places, they couldn't believe this fact.
Without him, Xie Anzhi has been in charge of Donglin County for so long, and they know Xie Anzhi too well.
How could Xie Anzhi be the kind of person who risked his own life to exterminate demons and ghosts? If he were so selfless, the sun would rise from the west.
Moreover, even if Xie Anzhi wanted to annihilate Yinhuo City, he would not be able to go alone. Instead, he would go with many of his masters from Jingyesi. Is he going to die alone?
Even the ghosts in that land of darkness felt wrong. Xu Xiao controlled Yinhuo City and was almost invincible among his peers. How could Xie Anzhi force his opponent to self-destruct in Yinhuo City and perish with him?
In short, this matter has spread throughout Donglin County. Everyone feels that something is wrong, but no one knows what is wrong.
Moreover, with the death of Xie An, the people of Jingyesi in Donglin County were like headless flies, not knowing what to do.
Donglin County is located inland in the Central Plains and is very peaceful most of the time. Anyway, there has been no vacancy of the town governor in the past few decades. Basically, every generation of town governor has been handed over peacefully.
, but now their boss suddenly disappears, which makes them feel awkward no matter what.
Of course, this does not include Gu Cheng.
After killing Xie Anzhi, Gu Cheng's mission this time was simply overfulfilled. He was now waiting for news from the Ninth Prince.
Therefore, he kept a low profile during this period and stayed in Jingyesi of Nie Yang Mansion and did not go out.
Of course, Gu Cheng was not idle during this period. He first gave the Xuanyin Spirit Fruit to Cui Zijie to help him organize the power in his body and convert all the Gang Qi into Yin attributes. Not only did he recover his cultivation level, but he even
Let him reach the peak level of the sixth grade.
Of course, although his level has improved, the Ziyang Qi that Cui Zijie had cultivated for more than ten years has been completely destroyed. Therefore, he needs to re-learn a Yin attribute skill, and his own combat power must be weakened.
Then Gu Cheng began to retreat, repairing all the hidden wounds after using the Dragon Roar Sword, and sorting out his own strength. After all, he had just entered the Sixth Realm of Qi Refining, and he also needed to get familiar with his own strength.
.
After half a month passed peacefully, Chen Danggui knocked on the door of Gu Cheng's retreat room and said, "Sir, there is a guy who says he is your old friend and wants to see you."
Gu Cheng asked Chen Danggui to bring the man in. The man was wearing a short warrior uniform, a light breastplate, and a bamboo hat and veil on his head, wrapping himself tightly.
After seeing Gu Cheng, the man took off his bamboo hat and turned out to be the Ninth Prince Li Xiaozhun.
When Gu Cheng first met Li Xiaojun in Nanyi County, he still looked royal and dressed like a wealthy young man.
But now, after not seeing each other for several months, Li Xiaozhun was dressed like a Jianghu person, with a strong aura of wind and frost, a Jianghu flavor.
Even if he didn't say it himself, no one would think of him as a prince.
Gu Cheng was surprised and asked: "Why is Your Highness dressed like this?"
Li Xiaozhun smiled and said: "I have had a lot of dealings with the local martial arts forces in Nanjiu County. I try to get closer to the Jianghu people and make them feel more friendly.
Moreover, in recent years, I have been mostly around the capital and have rarely gone deep into the world of martial arts. I have long wanted to try what it feels like to be a Jianghu person."
Having said this, Li Xiaozhun looked at Gu Cheng with a strange look: "Don't talk about me first, what Mr. Gu did this time is really unexpected.
Fourth brother and I actually plan to ask Mr. Gu to stay in Donglin County for a while to collect some evidence of Xie Anzhi's crimes, and then find a way to contact our people at the Jingyesi headquarters to directly identify Xie Anzhi.
A capital crime, complete death penalty.
I didn't expect that you would kill Xie Anzhi directly, tsk, tsk, this caught us off guard, and our subsequent plans will change."
Gu Cheng raised his eyebrows and said, "So, I killed Xie Anzhi by mistake?
Everyone outside now believes that Xie Anzhi died together with Xu Xiao in order to destroy Yinhuo City, so not only is there no evidence of guilt, the superiors even want to award him a posthumous award."
Li Xiaozhun shook his head quickly and said: "Of course you are right, and the killing was good! The killing was wonderful!
Xie Anzhi originally did not have any foothold in the Jingyesi headquarters, but now he has defected to the second prince Li Xiaoming, which can be regarded as a backer in the capital. Once we want to move him, even if there is ironclad evidence, it will have to go through layers of
A high-level game wastes a lot of effort.
As a result, you just killed Xie Anzhi without saying a word, which can be said to have saved us a lot of effort.
Not to mention giving him a posthumous award from Xie Anzhi, ten would be fine. A dead Xie Anzhi would be in the interest of the fourth brother now.
As for our subsequent plans, we can redo them at any time, it doesn’t matter.”
With that said, Li Xiaozhun took out an official document and handed it to Gu Cheng: "Fourth brother said that the wisest decision he has made in recent times is to let you deal with Xie Anzhi. The Zhengtian Alliance is indeed reliable and recommended.
No one is mediocre.
Returning the favor, when they learned about Xie An's death, the fourth brother had already used various connections as quickly as possible to help Mr. Gu get the position of commander of the Eastern Region at the Jingyesi headquarters in the capital. Now Mr. Gu, you can do it at any time.
Go and take office."
Whether it is the Ninth Prince Li Xiaozhun in front of him or the Fourth Prince Li Xiaowu, their personalities are straightforward enough, and Gu Cheng still prefers to deal with such people.
Gu Cheng took the official document, cupped it in his hand and said with a smile: "Then I would like to thank you two highnesses. I will make some arrangements here, tidy up and then go to the capital to take office."
At this time, Li Xiaozhun suddenly said: "By the way, there is one more thing I want to tell Mr. Gu. You'd better be mentally prepared."
"Oh? What happened?"
Li Xiaozhun said: "I have never returned to the capital. I received the official document through the secret channel of my fourth brother in Nanyi County. It also contains news about you, Mr. Gu.
Mr. Gu, your grandmother, Mrs. Gu, has been seriously ill for several months. Now she is even more seriously ill. I am afraid she may not be able to hold on for much longer.
Originally, the Zhongyong Hou Mansion sent news to you, Mr. Gu, but your second wife was afraid that you would come back to seize the title, so she intercepted the news secretly.
Fourth brother wants you to become the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Region, so naturally he has to report a lot of intelligence information about you to prove your innocence. During the course of the investigation, I learned about these things."
The moment Li Xiaozhun finished speaking, Gu Cheng's whole body suddenly emitted an extremely violent aura, and even his strength was somewhat uncontrollable, which caused the floor tiles under his feet to begin to shatter inch by inch.
Li Xiaozhun couldn't help but take a few steps back and looked at Gu Cheng in horror. At this time, Gu Cheng was like a wild and ferocious beast. The aura even made him feel a little horrified.
But Gu Cheng didn't know all this at this time, because the emotions in his heart could be said to be mixed at the moment, including sadness and anger, regret and murderous intent.
After time travel, Gu Cheng in his previous life inherited all of Gu Cheng's memories in this life, but they are only memories, and the main body is still those before Gu Cheng's time travel.
Therefore, when it comes to relatives of this generation, except Mrs. Gu who is sincerely good to him, Gu Cheng is actually a little indifferent to other people and things in his heart.
Even Mrs. Gu, Gu Cheng treated them with a complex idea of doing filial piety to "Gu Cheng" who died in this life.
So after leaving the capital, Gu Cheng didn't think much other than sending a letter to report that he was safe. Even the Zhongyong Hou Mansion didn't reply to the letter for such a long time. The thoughtful Gu Cheng didn't notice anything was wrong.
Because he never thought that he belonged to the Zhongyong Hou Mansion, he naturally didn't take it too seriously.
It was only now that he heard the news that Mrs. Gu was critically ill, the emotions in Gu Cheng's heart exploded in an instant. He had always thought that he had completely taken over this body, but all the emotions in this life were always hidden in the deepest part of his memory.
At this time, as something happened to the most important person of 'Gu Cheng', it exploded violently, and it was even somewhat beyond his control.
At this moment, Gu Cheng was certain that these emotions were not only his, but also partly belonged to 'Gu Cheng' who had died in this life.
In the past, whether it was Xiao Yi's death or learning that Cui Zijie was deposed, although Gu Cheng could not control his emotions, those were his own emotions. Only this time, their emotions broke out together.
After dozens of breaths, Gu Cheng finally regained control of his body. He let out a sigh of relief. This might be his obsession.
Calling Chen Danggui and Kou Andu, Gu Cheng said in a deep voice: "During this period, you will first help Mr. Cui control Jingyesi of Nie Yang Mansion, and pack everything up before going to the capital. I will go first."
After saying that, Gu Cheng asked people to prepare to return to the capital as soon as possible and didn't plan to pack anything.
Li Xiaozhun was stunned for a moment and said quickly: "Master Gu, wait! I will go back to the capital with you!"
