Chapter 276 Gu Cheng, who does not know how to praise
Infighting and backstabbing among aristocratic families are commonplace.
However, like the Gu family of Zhongyong Hou Mansion, it is very rare to have two or three large kittens but still fight so fiercely among themselves.
Gu Zheng's move was clearly aimed at trapping his own brother to death, and his attack was extremely vicious.
Not long after Gu Cheng took over the leadership of the Eastern Territory Jingyesi Division, Gu Zheng made such a fuss. His position as the commander of the Eastern Territory was probably no longer secure.
A strange color flashed in Li Xiaoxuan's eyes, and he smiled and said: "Master Gu Xiao's suggestion is good. I am going to have someone make arrangements. Let's call it a day."
After everyone dispersed, only Situ Xiao and Du'e Toutuo were present. It can be said that these two are Li Xiaoxuan's true confidants, and he does not have to worry about being betrayed.
"Your Highness, are you really prepared to do what Gu Zheng said? Although this guy is young, his mind is very sinister. His move is not only to help His Highness, but also to deal with Gu Cheng.
, he is using you as a sword."
Li Xiaoxuan said with a faint smile: "Of course I can see this kind of thing, but it is undeniable that if you do what the other party said, it will indeed give the fourth child a huge blow.
I don’t know what kind of backer I have found over the years, but my strength has grown by leaps and bounds, and I have become one of the most popular people vying for the throne."
Speaking of this, Li Xiaoxuan's face looked a little gloomy.
Compared with several other princes, he has some inherent deficiencies. He cannot make use of most of the power in the court, so he can only work hard to collude with the Jianghu forces. However, the disadvantage of this is that in the court,
He always feels a little overwhelmed.
Li Xiaoxuan said in a deep voice: "There is no need to do what Gu Zheng said for the time being. Find an opportunity to arrange for me to meet Gu Cheng. I will personally recruit him."
Situ Xiao was immediately shocked. Li Xiaoxuan actually wanted to take action himself. This could even be said to be a huge honor to Gu Chengtian.
"Your Highness, with all due respect, Gu Cheng has an arrogant and arrogant personality. He didn't pay much attention to Your Highness from the very beginning. I confronted him twice, but he came back both times.
"
Li Xiaoxuan said calmly: "He has never seen me, so of course he won't take me seriously.
When he sees me, he will know that I can give him whatever the fourth child can give him, and I can also give him anything that the fourth child cannot give him.
Lao Si has countless capable people under his command, so it is impossible for him to spend too much time on one Gu Cheng.
And if we can really recruit Gu Cheng, it will be of great convenience and benefit to us now.
In the Jingyesi Division, let alone commanders, our people can only reach the level of night watchmen.
If I can recruit the commander of the Eastern Territory to my command, even if it can only convey some news, it will be of great use to us."
After hearing what Li Xiaoxuan said, Situ Xiao immediately began to arrange for him to meet Gu Cheng.
At this time, Gu Cheng didn't know that some people were plotting against him. After solving the Xinnan Hou Mansion, he could finally live a peaceful life for a while, and at the same time, he could also enjoy the generous treatment brought by the capital headquarters.
The Jingyesi headquarters in the capital gathers the most elite and powerful people in the entire Daqian Jingyesi. Although they are sometimes controlled by others, their treatment is nothing to say.
For example, Gu Cheng, the commander-in-chief, his monthly salary is no longer money, but various training resources. Even after being given middle-grade and high-grade elixirs, he can't even use them in retreat every day for a month.
And if you need weapons and weaponry, you can also use merit points to exchange for various materials. As long as you have the materials you can get, there will be a department within Jingyesi that specializes in weaponry and weaponry to help you refine them.
, you don’t even need to queue up, the leader of the four domains has priority.
There is also the Sutra Pavilion at Jingyesi Headquarters. Except for some core exercises that cannot be viewed, you can view some ordinary exercises at will, but you cannot take them out.
Although a practitioner of Gu Cheng's level would not practice such low-to-mid-level techniques, it would be good to take a closer look and accumulate experience to see if stones from other mountains can attack jade.
There are also secrets about their respective rivers and lakes, and records of various strange things. Some ancient scrolls can even be traced back to the ancient times thousands of years ago.
There are replicas of these non-gong method things that can be taken out and read, so during this period, Gu Cheng basically practiced at night. In the morning, he dealt with miscellaneous things in Jingye Division of the Eastern Region, and in the afternoon, he practiced
I went to the Jiuyuan Tower with some miscellaneous ancient scrolls and read them while eating.
This Jiuyuan Restaurant is the restaurant where Gu Cheng and the people under the third prince had a conflict last time. Kou An said that the food and wine here are really good. Gu Cheng even liked it after he came here once, so he spent most of his time there.
They are all covered with the top layer.
Anyway, Gu Cheng is not short of money now, and money basically doesn't mean much to him.
At this moment, the door to the ninth floor was suddenly pushed open, and Gu Cheng raised his eyebrows.
He has already booked the entire ninth floor. Besides the waiter who serves the dishes, who would come in at this time? There won’t be any bloody drama about someone competing with him for the restaurant’s position, right?
The bloody drama that Gu Cheng imagined did not happen, but as Situ Xiao and Li Xiaoxuan walked in, Gu Cheng felt even more surprised to see these two people.
Standing up, Gu Cheng cupped his hands and said, "I have met His Highness Prince Yan, but I never expected that His Highness Prince Yan would come to such a small place to eat."
Li Xiaoxuan said in surprise: "Do you recognize this king?"
If Li Xiaoxuan remembered correctly, he should have never met Gu Cheng face to face. How did Gu Cheng recognize him?
Gu Cheng smiled and said: "Who else can make Mr. Situ lead the way so humbly, besides His Highness King Yan?"
Of course, there was one thing Gu Cheng didn't say. He knew Li Xiaozhun. Li Xiaoxuan and Li Xiaozhun were very similar in appearance. They looked like they were born to the same father.
Li Xiaoxuan sat across from Gu Cheng with a majestic look, and laughed loudly: "Master Gu's observations are meticulous enough, so you can probably guess why I am here today?"
Gu Cheng secretly took a closer look at the third prince. Compared with Li Xiaozhun, who was approachable and had no royal bearing, Li Xiaoxuan not only had the unique nobility of a member of the royal family, but also had a sharp and powerful aura.
Just like now, in just two sentences, he had already taken the autonomy of the conversation into his own hands.
It was obvious that he was the one who came to see Gu Cheng today, but in the end, he made Gu Cheng guess what his purpose was.
Gu Cheng didn't pay attention, just smiled and said: "I guess the third prince is definitely not here to cause trouble for me."
"Oh? Why? Do you know that you ruined my plan and destroyed the Marquis of Xinnan Mansion, causing me huge losses? How do you know that I won't cause trouble for you?"
"With the strength of the third prince, I am afraid that if you want to trouble me, Commander Jingyesi, you don't need to take action personally. That would be too cheap."
The third prince poured a glass of wine, pushed it in front of Gu Cheng, and said in a deep voice: "Master Gu, you are an interesting person. I didn't care when Gu Yuanzhong mentioned you to me before, but now it seems that I was negligent.
I ignored you, which caused me such a big loss, so I want to make amends now.
Drink this glass of wine and join me. I can give you what the Fourth Brother can give you, and I can give you what the Fourth Brother cannot give you!"
Gu Cheng really didn't expect what the third prince said. He didn't know where the third prince's brain was so wrong that he actually wanted to recruit him.
Gu Cheng smiled half-heartedly and said, "Does the third prince know about the grudges between me and the Gu family? They are your confidants now. If I join your army, what will you tell the Gu family to do?"
The third prince waved his hand and said calmly: "Gu Yuanzhong is a mediocre person. If it weren't for his son, do you think I would bring him with me?
Gu Zheng is quite clever, and he also has the identity of Baiyunguan, but unfortunately, Baiyunguan is one of the five great sects, and the strength of the Jianghu sect is everything. He can't compare with you, let alone Wang Maoxing, I
It is enough to maintain a good relationship with Wang Maoxing and the entire Baiyun Temple. A Gu Zheng cannot affect these.
Even if you join my army, I can easily help you get the title of Zhongyong Marquis!"
"What about Shenxiao Pili Hall? I destroyed the cultivation of one of their direct disciples."
"This is nothing!"
The third prince said proudly: "Shenxiao Pili Hall is eager to get out of Jiangnan County, so it must rush to cooperate with me. Although the person you abolished is a direct lineage, he is not a very important disciple. They will because of this."
Is this disciple falling out with me?
If the Shenxiao Pili Hall really does something like this, it is doomed that their structure is too small and they can only settle in a corner of the south of the Yangtze River. They are not grand and are not worthy of cooperating with me."
Gu Cheng smiled and cupped his hands towards the third prince.
Li Xiaoxuan also looked determined to win at this time.
In his opinion, the fourth prince's method of recruiting Gu Cheng was nothing more than promising him a future, but he himself didn't care much about Gu Cheng, and it was possible that the two parties had never even met.
Now that he was a prince, he was condescending. Corporal Li Xian came to recruit Gu Cheng in person. After such a comparison, he believed that Gu Cheng should know what choice he should make.
Gu Cheng smiled and did not touch the third prince's glass of wine. Instead, he poured another glass of wine and drank it in one gulp, saying: "Thank you, third prince, for your kindness, but there are some things that the third prince may have misunderstood.
I am not from the fourth prince, but from Jingyesi.
As for the sides in the struggle for the throne of Daqian, a small person like me doesn’t want to participate, and I’m not qualified to participate.
So please don’t take offense, Third Prince."
Li Xiaoxuan's expression darkened instantly. He seemed not to have thought that he had already reached this point, but Gu Cheng still refused.
Without saying a word, Li Xiaoxuan flicked his sleeves and left with Situ Xiao.
After walking out of Jiuyuan Building, just as Situ Xiao was about to say something, Li Xiaoxuan snorted coldly: "I don't know how to praise you!
I gave you the opportunity, but you don't cherish it, so don't blame me for being cruel!
