Liu Yingying, such a delicate and pitiful beauty, never left the body without saying a word, which made everyone present feel very awkward.
Gu Cheng said calmly: "Don't forget, you are in my hands now. I ask about those people's news, but you still dare not to answer? Can you take out the things that are already in my hands for trading?"
Liu Yingying said loudly: "Hey, hey, don't be so realistic, okay? There are only eight of you, and there are more than ten of those guys. If we really fight, you will still suffer. If I am one more, at least you can have more fighting power, right?"
?”
At this time, Qi Zhou heard that there were more than ten people on the other side. He hesitated and said: "Gu Cheng, should we be more cautious and retreat first, and then ask the state capital to send more people over? After all, our mission this time is
The main thing is to investigate, not to fight with those low-level gangsters here."
Qi Zhou is already in his fifties, and he has barely reached the eighth level of martial arts training. It can be said that his talent is limited, and this is the only achievement he can achieve in his life.
It can't be said that he was just dawdling around in the Jingyesi Division, it can only be said that he has a habit of being cautious, always wanting to be safe in everything and not wanting to take risks.
His biggest wish is that after he reaches the age of sixty, he has accumulated enough meritorious service and qualifications to be transferred to a government or county to hold some safe logistics positions for his retirement.
Gu Cheng looked at Liu Yingying: "What are the specific strengths of those people? Are there any existences comparable to the seventh level of martial arts or the seventh level of Qi refining?"
Liu Yingying said: "The levels of low-level ninth-level practitioners are not as clear as those of warriors and Qi-refiners, but in terms of combat power, there are two that are comparable to those of seventh-level practitioners."
"So how are these people related to each other?"
Liu Yingying sneered and said: "Of course it's not that good. They all wanted to kill each other and then take possession of the treasure alone. But they couldn't do it, so they agreed to join forces with each other to get the treasure together."
This girl also saw through that group of people and decided to act alone, and she almost got targeted by them."
"Then if they don't go directly into the mountains tomorrow, why are they coming to the county town?"
Liu Yingying said: "The leader of that group of guys is Du Lanjiang, the 'Shattered Jade Hand'. He has been a water thief and robbed tombs, so he has some experience, so he wants to go to the county to find the county map and find out the details before taking action.
.”
Gu Cheng nodded in understanding, turned back to Xiao Yi and others and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, although we are going back home directly now, and the boss won't say anything, I still feel a little aggrieved by doing this.
We are soldiers, they are thieves. We are cats, they are mice.
In this world, only thieves are afraid of officers and soldiers. How can a cat run for its life first when it sees a mouse?
The opponent's group of low-level cultivators has a larger number of people, but they are a ragtag group of people who are scheming among themselves. I am confident that I will fight.
Moreover, we will send people here after we return. The mountain road is difficult to travel and it will take several days to come back. I am afraid that they will have left with the treasure long ago.
Although I still don’t know whether the treasure is real or fake, as long as there is something good, whether you hand it over in exchange for merit points or use it yourself, it is all a matter of chance."
As he said that, Gu Cheng looked at Qi Zhou: "Of course, if Brother Qi is worried too much, he can go back to Heyang Mansion to report the information first. Everyone has his own ambitions. I will not force you to do this kind of thing."
Gu Cheng is not timid in doing things. To be precise, he was not timid when facing the traitors of Na Luo Sect before, but was cautious.
But being cautious does not mean being so cautious that you would give up the opportunity in front of you.
Except for the gains from the bounty missions, everything else owned by Jingyesi belongs to the individual. Of course, if you don't use it, you can also hand it over to Jingyesi in exchange for merit points.
In short, Yasushi's rules are to allow his subordinates to be more proactive, rather than just living with their paychecks.
Zhao Jingming and others are not too old, but they still have the courage to fight.
Qi Zhou hesitated for a moment and said with a wry smile: "What's the point of going back alone at this time? That's all, I'll fight with everyone today."
Seeing that everyone in Jingyesi had reached an agreement, Liu Yingying looked at Gu Cheng and said dissatisfied: "Hey, hey, hey, now that we are all allies, you should let go, right? Are you addicted to touching me?"
Gu Cheng let go of his arm, and Liu Yingying rubbed her neck, ran to check on her two zombies, and muttered dissatisfied: "You have damaged both my big black and little white ones, and we have to spend more materials to repair them."
The mouth corners of everyone present twitched slightly.
These two ferocious zombies are called Dahei and Xiaobai?
In the early morning of the next day, Gu Cheng directly asked Magistrate Zhang to open the city gate, and at the same time asked the people in the county not to go out during this period.
Confrontations between practitioners can easily result in death for ordinary people, even if they are just watching.
A small county like Donglin County has little restraint on the kind of lawless and leftist practitioners.
Gu Cheng and others stood in front of the county government office and waited for more than an hour. Then a group of people came from a distance, wearing different clothes, some even with strange shapes. There were more than ten people.
Liu Yingying stood behind Gu Cheng and whispered: "Did you see the strong man at the front? He is Du Lanjiang, the 'Shattered Jade Hand'. He was a water thief in the north of the Yangtze River. He has robbed tombs and worked in gangs. I heard that he was returned to the
I worked as a guest in the palace for a while, but it was not an easy role to get along with.
The young man wearing a black brocade robe next to him is the "Ghost Master" Wang Chuan. He has a ghost in his body. To be precise, he has merged with a ghost.
During the day, ghosts take on human bodies, and during the night, people transform into ghost bodies.
Among these people, only these two people's actual combat power is comparable to that of seventh-grade beings.
But the others are not easy to deal with either. The dwarf who is only about the size of a child is a water monkey. I don’t know his name, but everyone calls him water monkey. He is also a water thief, but he is a lone water thief who specializes in robbing and killing small animals that come and go.
Merchants, it is said that it has excellent water properties and can stay underwater for a day and a night.
There is also that voluptuous and beautiful woman, she is a woman from Qingcheng, half human and half demon, but there are some weird things down there. Going to a brothel to sleep with a girl will cost you money, but sleeping with her will be fatal."
Liu Yingying quickly introduced Du Lanjiang and others to Gu Cheng. At the same time, the group also saw Gu Cheng and others standing in front of the county government office, which made them frown immediately.
Originally, they planned to get the county records, study the situation of Jiangjun Mountain and then go directly to the mountain. Who would have thought that they would meet someone from Jingyesi here, which would be a bit difficult to handle.
They, these low-level cultivators of the leftist path, and Jingyesi have always been mortal enemies. Although the two sides are not fighting to the death, at least they can't stand each other.
And they said they were here to get the county magistrate today, but in fact they wanted to rob it directly.
Anyway, a small remote county town couldn't stop them, but who would have thought that someone from Yasushi would appear in such a remote place.
People on both sides stood facing each other on the long street, and the atmosphere instantly became solemn and solemn.
At this time, a middle-aged Taoist priest in Du Lanjiang's group wearing a red Bagua Taoist robe suddenly stood up, pointed at Liu Yingying and cursed: "Bitch! Why are you standing with Jing Yesi's lackey Ying Quan?
Have you forgotten what we agreed on back then? Now that you are standing with Jingyesi’s lackey Ying Quan, have you told them all about it?”
Liu Yingying snorted softly: "Promise? You took advantage of the fact that my dead body was unavailable and forced me to make an oath. Is this called a promise?"
As she spoke, Liu Yingying whispered to Gu Cheng: "That guy is He Tianjiu, the 'Nine Huan Taoist' of Huanling Tao. Huanling Tao used to be a small and unpopular sect in the south. He was good at using some deception methods to fool the people.
As a result, it developed to a certain extent and expanded, and it even tricked the government and was wiped out by Jingyesi.
This guy is the last surviving disciple of Phantom Spirit Way, so he is extremely hostile to Jingyesi’s people.”
Gu Cheng nodded in understanding and said calmly to the Taoist priest: "Taoist priest, what did you call us just now?"
He Tianjiu sneered and said: "Of course I call you lackeys Eagle Dog! As a practitioner, you are willing to be the lackey of the imperial court. Grandpa, am I right?
The cunning rabbit dies and is cooked by the lackeys. Maybe one day it will be the turn of you lackeys and hawks to be unlucky!"
With that said, He Tianjiu turned around and said to Du Lanjiang: "Boss Du, there are few people in Jingyesi. Let's go together. After we kill them, we can go into Jiangjun Mountain to hunt for treasures!"
Du Lanjiang frowned, slightly dissatisfied.
It seems that they, who are right-minded people, have some conflicts and frictions with Jingyesi on weekdays, but as long as it is not a matter of life and death, they are not willing to fight with Jingyesi.
This time they came to hunt for treasures, not to kill people. It was not worth it to have a fight with Jingyesi here before the treasures were seen.
Besides, who is this He Tianjiu, and he is worthy of giving orders to him?
Before Du Lanjiang could say anything, Gu Cheng's figure suddenly moved. The long sword in his hand had been unsheathed, and the Yanyang Sword was thrust towards He Tianjiu, and the burning energy rushed towards his face instantly.
Neither He Tianjiu nor Du Lanjiang expected that Gu Cheng, who was at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, would take action at his suggestion.
He Tianjiu had just stood a little forward, and in an instant he felt the force of the sword's edge coming towards him.
Du Lanjiang wanted to take action, but Zhao Jingming had already used the White Bone Secret Technique, and bone spurs rose from the ground and blocked him.
In just such a split second, Gu Cheng's sword power had arrived.
In shock, He Tianjiu squeezed the Seal Jue with his hands and muttered something in his mouth, and a burst of colorful smoke emitted from his large Taoist robe.
But before the colorful smoke completely dispersed, the demon-suppressing golden light seal on Gu Cheng's left hand had already fallen, and the golden light exploded, tearing apart the colorful smoke in an instant.
‘Pfft’
There was a soft sound, and the scorching sword blade instantly chopped off He Tianjiu's head. It fell to the ground and fell to the ground in front of Du Lanjiang.
Gu Cheng stood with his sword in hand, shook the blood beads on the blade, and said calmly: "If you can't speak, don't speak. That Lao Shizi's phantom spirit path was destroyed probably because all the elders of your sect have such bad mouths.
I said things I shouldn’t have said and had thoughts I shouldn’t have.”
