Chapter two hundred and sixty-ninth old friends meet, swords face each other
Night shrouded the capital, and the bustling capital during the day became extremely silent. However, there were sporadic screams across the night sky, which made people's hearts twitch.
In the dark alley, Gu Cheng turned a low-level ghost-refining monk into a ghost. He pulled out the Blood Abyss Sword from the corpse and wiped the blood from the sword. Gu Cheng's face flashed.
There was a hint of gloominess.
He has killed enough people during this period, but these guys are like rats, they can't kill them all, and after killing one group, another group will pop up.
And some people in Dongyu Jingyesi have begun to complain.
Practitioners are also human beings. Most of the Xuanjia Guards have never slept a wink in the past few days, but these low-level left-behind practitioners come out every once in a while, and even find opportunities to recharge their batteries.
As soon as we came to Dongyu Jingyesi, the efficiency became slower and slower.
In the past few days, Gu Cheng, besides killing these treacherous gangsters, was also thinking about how to find an opportunity to kill them all, or to severely damage them to a certain extent at once, so that they would not dare to act recklessly in the Eastern Territory.
At this moment, some noises suddenly came from the other side of the alley. Gu Cheng moved and immediately ran in that direction.
A leftist practitioner had been hiding here for who knows how long. He thought that Gu Cheng had left after killing someone, so he wanted to leave quietly, but he didn't expect that Gu Cheng was still standing there meditating.
As soon as he moved like this, he was immediately noticed by Gu Cheng.
This guy was quite capable. When he noticed that Gu Cheng was chasing him, he immediately started to burn his essence and blood. His speed suddenly increased to the extreme, and he jumped to the mansion in another alley.
Gu Cheng frowned slightly. The people living in this alley were civil servants of the imperial court. If he broke in without permission to arrest someone, he could easily solve the problem easily if he met a reasonable person who showed Jingyesi's sign.
But if they meet some unscrupulous people, they will blame Gu Cheng for disturbing their rest.
Jingyesi is superior to the civil and military officials of Daqian. Although these civil servants cannot have any influence on Gu Cheng, it will be very uncomfortable once they start to complain to Gu Cheng.
Now that Gu Cheng has chased him, he naturally can't control that much.
But when Gu Cheng also jumped into the mansion, this leftist practitioner was standing in the courtyard holding a pretty woman in white, holding a knife across her neck, his face was pale, and he said viciously: "
Don't come over! If she comes over again, I'll kill her. The worst is that we will all die together!
Aren’t you, Jingyesi, guarding the peace of one side? This girl looks like she should be the family member of a high-ranking official in the imperial court. If I kill her now, you will also be punished!"
The woman looked pitiful and trembling while being held hostage in the hands of the leftist practitioner.
There was an old man who looked like a housekeeper in the courtyard. He shouted: "Let go of my lady! I will be your hostage!"
The leftist cultivator gave a disdainful sigh: "You old guy, you still want to play tricks on me? You are just an old slave, and you won't let Lord Jingyesi take advantage of you."
With that said, the leftist practitioner looked at Gu Cheng and said coldly: "Have you considered it? I know that many people have died in your hands, Mr. Gu these days. I have only one life, and I can hold one of them before I die."
It’s worth dying for the high official’s family and your future as the commander of the Eastern Territory!”
Gu Cheng's face showed an expression that looked like a smile but not a smile: "Okay, you can go, I won't stop you."
The leftist practitioner said with half-belief and doubt: "Seriously?"
Gu Cheng said calmly: "You asked me to let you go, but you don't believe me now that I have let you go. So what do you want? Don't worry, I will stand here and not move."
Even though Gu Cheng said this, the leftist practitioner still felt that something was wrong. Gu Cheng's agreement was so smooth that he couldn't even believe it.
But seeing that Gu Cheng didn't move at the moment, really didn't move a step, and even his own true energy didn't explode, the leftist practitioner also began to step back cautiously, but he didn't let go of the official.
The young lady's plan is to completely retreat to a safe place before considering whether to let him go.
At this moment, the leftist cultivator was retreating and suddenly felt a sinister wind blowing behind him. Before he could react, five shrunken ghosts were already swiveling around his head!
In an instant, blood spattered, and the headless corpse of the leftist practitioner fell to the ground, but the head was already in Gu Cheng's hand.
Throwing the head away casually, Gu Cheng said calmly: "I didn't move it. You took the initiative to walk into the five ghosts' transportation. Don't blame me for being dishonest when you get to the underworld."
At this time, the official lady screamed in fright, took a few steps back, patted her high chest with lingering fear, and gave a pitiful salute to Gu Cheng: "Thank you, sir, for your life-saving grace."
Gu Cheng didn't speak at this time, but stared straight at the official lady, which made the official lady's heart tremble.
The old housekeeper took a step forward and said with a sinister expression: "This sir is a practitioner of Jingyesi? Of course we are grateful that you saved my young lady, but what do you mean by this now?"
At this time, a smile suddenly appeared on Gu Cheng's face: "I didn't save your young lady. It should be said that if I hadn't taken action, this guy would have died a worse death.
It seems that you two have forgotten me in the past two years? After all, you and I have a friendship of fighting side by side."
The housekeeper asked doubtfully: "Have we met this sir before?"
Gu Cheng said calmly: "Two years ago, on the path to the capital from Donglin County, in the temple of Yeling Mountain in the barren mountains, we resisted the wandering corpses together."
The two people in front of him were the daughter and housekeeper of Xiao Cunyi, a doctor in the Qing Dynasty, who met at the mountain temple when Gu Cheng was traveling from the capital to Donglin County.
Gu Cheng had already forgotten these two people, but when he first met, he felt that the official lady looked familiar. He just kept staring at them, not because he had any inappropriate thoughts, but because he was recalling that time.
A memory that was almost forgotten by him.
Upon hearing this, the housekeeper's face remained unchanged, while the old housekeeper's cheeks twitched slightly.
They all remembered.
It's not their fault for having a bad memory, it's just that Gu Cheng has changed too much in the past two years.
Two years ago in the Mountain Temple, Gu Cheng was just a young man who had just escaped from a difficult situation and had an uncertain future. He was also dirty, just like a wanderer.
And now Gu Cheng is the commander-in-chief of Jingyesi's Eastern Region, and he is definitely considered to be in the upper-middle level of Jingyesi. If he stomps his feet, not to mention making the capital tremble, he can at least make waves in a quarter of the capital.
They never expected that in just two years, the young man who used to be like a low-level rogue in the mountain temple could now reach the position he is in today.
Miss Xiao gave a gentle salute to Gu Cheng and said: "The little girl didn't expect to meet the adults again in the capital. Counting this time, the little girl has been rescued by the adults for the second time. This is really true."
It’s fate.”
Gu Cheng said with a half-smile but not a smile: "I just said that I didn't save your young lady. Such a useless snack guy shouldn't be a match for you two, right? In other words, if you crush him to death, you will crush him to death.
As simple as an ant."
Miss Xiao was shocked and said: "Mr. Gu, what do you mean by this? A little girl has no power to restrain a chicken. Although the housekeeper, Uncle Zhang, followed the caravan when he was young, he is already old now. How can he be the opponent of this vicious gangster?"
"
Gu Cheng suddenly laughed twice, and the next moment, he pulled out the Blood Abyss Sword in his hand without any warning. The blood and Qinglong Martial Arts burst out at that moment, the dragon roared, and the green-gold Qi merged with the blood.
The evil energy turned into a blood dragon several feet in size and roared towards her. The sword moved forward without hesitation and headed straight for Miss Xiao!
Gu Cheng used almost all his strength with this sword, and few people at the same level could resist it.
But Miss Xiao seemed to be frightened out of her wits, she just stood there and did not dodge.
The old housekeeper also opened his eyes wide and looked at everything in horror.
The sword that turned into a form of Gang Qi was less than three feet away from Miss Xiao, but Gu Cheng still did not stop. The old housekeeper took one step forward, and the powerful Gang Qi exploded and appeared in an instant.
In front of Miss Xiao, golden light bloomed in her arms, and strange runes bloomed vaguely.
He actually clenched the dragon-shaped Gang Qi with both hands, shouted low, the Gang Qi exploded, and the sword light dissipated.
Gu Cheng said with a half-smile but not a smile: "Wuji Dao Body? Tsk tsk, it seems that you have practiced to an extremely profound level. Are you the deacon of Luo Jiao or the incense master?"
Miss Xiao let out a long sigh, and her previous delicate and pitiful appearance completely disappeared. Although her face did not change at all, her temperament changed at this moment, just like two people.
"Uncle Zhang, I have told you more than once to stay calm, but you always fail to remember."
Uncle Zhang said with a face of shame: "I saw that he had already used his Gang Qi to transform into shape, but he hadn't stopped yet. I was afraid that he would hurt you, so I couldn't help but resist him."
Miss Xiao didn't say much at this time, but turned her gaze to Gu Cheng and said in a charming voice: "Master Gu is really cruel. He dares to be so cruel to a weak woman like me.
Chuihua, after all, I am also the daughter of a high-ranking official in the imperial court. If you kill me, won’t you worry about the imperial court blaming you?"
At this moment, Miss Xiao's voice became unusually charming and sweet, as if it made people's bones go numb. Before Gu Cheng's time travel, every word would have been a voice-activated benefit.
But Gu Cheng was unmoved and said calmly: "It is too dangerous to destroy the flower? The flower of the other side of the underworld or the poisonous datura?
Let me guess who you are. You have such strength at such an age. A master at the peak of the sixth grade is like a slave in your eyes. There are not many people in Luo Jiao who have such power.
When I was in Nanyi County, I heard that the Luo Jiao saint had gone north, but few people would have guessed that she had reached the capital.
