Anything involving the royal family is a big deal, at least for a low-level cultivator like Guoligui.
He never imagined that one day he would be involved in such a thing.
Now he can't wait to slap his two big mouths, so that you can have such a big mouth just now!
Seeing that the other party looked like he was about to cry, Gu Cheng said calmly: "What are you afraid of? I asked you to investigate the people around the third prince, but I didn't ask you to investigate the third prince. The two are not the same at all.
concept.
Besides, I, Gu Cheng, always pay attention to fairness in my work. Since I use you, the benefits will be great.
You also know the resources of Jingyesi. The secret technique of refining ghosts that you practice is the lowest kind. It should have a lot of side effects, right?
After this is done, I will give you the secret technique of ghost refining in western Hunan, which is called the orthodox ghost refining technique.
Of course, if you really feel embarrassed, you can refuse. I, Gu Cheng, will never force anyone to do anything."
Looking at Gu Cheng with a gentle and elegant smile in front of him, the ditch ghost also showed a smile that was uglier than crying.
You don't know how to force others to do something difficult? The hundreds of lives lost outside the capital clearly told this bastard what kind of person Gu Cheng was.
If God gives him another chance, he will never talk too much and come to Yasuji to report the crime last time.
"Don't worry, sir. I will do it now, and you will be satisfied."
The Gully Ghost gritted his teeth and immediately responded.
Anyway, both sides will die. Of course, it is better to die later than to die early.
Seeing the ghost in the ditch walk out with a generous look and ready to die, Gu Cheng touched his chin, was he that scary?
God knows, he really wasn't being sarcastic just now. Even if this guy doesn't agree with him, he won't make things difficult for him.
There are countless low-level heretic cultivators like this in the capital who are good at snooping for information. If he doesn't agree to it, he will find someone else. There will always be someone who agrees because of the temptation of profit.
He, Gu Cheng, is the most honest person in his work. He won't embarrass you if he says he won't embarrass you. It was this guy who scared himself into being like this and it had nothing to do with him.
The ghost in the ditch went to explore the news. During this time, Gu Cheng began to patrol the Eastern Region as usual and began to set up defenses for the ancestor worship ceremony step by step.
At the same time, Gu Cheng was also observing carefully and discovered many clues about Maitreya Religion.
As he had guessed, the Maitreya Cult might have been lurking in the capital for a long time, even before he became the commander of the Eastern Territory.
It's just that now that the ancestor worship ceremony is approaching, Maitreya Cult has appeared too frequently, leaving various traces.
During this time, news also came from Hongding Mountain.
This General Hong was very resolute in his work. He almost used the fastest speed to find the second prince, and finally facilitated this matter. Even a series of conditions proposed by the fourth prince were only rejected by the second prince.
All agreed.
Finally, in the court hall three days ago, the curtain came down on the position of reading out the memorial text for the ancestor worship ceremony.
The second prince was the one who read out the memorial ceremony, and the fourth prince was the backup. As for the third prince, he got nothing.
The result of this incident was both unexpected and reasonable.
The second prince is the most powerful among the many princes. In addition to not having the title of prince, he already had a high reputation before the prince fell out of favor.
He even once uttered wild words when he was drunk. The prince was only born a few days before him. If he hadn't had these few days, how would he have been able to take this position?
The fourth prince has only emerged in recent years. He is ambitious and enterprising, and the forces behind him are also somewhat complicated. In short, he has not been defeated in the past few years.
As for the third prince, his biggest weakness is that he has a bad background and his mother's strength is too weak, which leads to him losing the opportunity.
So according to this strength arrangement, this result is actually normal.
But what was abnormal was that no one expected that the always strong fourth prince would choose to give in this time.
After all, the resources and strength that the fourth prince had invested in competing with the second prince were quite considerable.
This time he took the initiative to give in and even made some people feel that the fourth prince could indeed achieve great things.
Most people are determined to take a gamble, but they don't have the determination to stop losses even if they cut off their own strength.
In this incident, the second prince got the position he wanted, the fourth prince got the reputation and some of the conditions agreed by the second prince, and the only one who failed was the third prince.
It was widely rumored that after this incident, the third prince locked himself in the palace for two full days and did not go out. No one dared to come even half a step closer to his house. Several maids went in to deliver meals, but they were all covered with white cloth at night.
Lifted it out.
When this news was sent to Gu Cheng, he couldn't help but shake his head.
When he first met Li Xiaoxuan, he felt that there was something wrong with this person's vision, and now he saw that it was indeed the case.
He is still too young and has not experienced severe beatings from society. It would be strange if such a person could win the throne.
He looked so angry after losing just once, but he didn't know that Gu Chengke had prepared a good show waiting for him after the ancestor worship ceremony.
………………
At the gate of the eastern city of the capital, there are only three days left before the ancestor worship ceremony. The capital has begun to close the city. Except for those holding Jingyesi and the military city defense camp tokens, no one else is allowed to enter the city, and no one in the city is allowed to enter.
go out.
In order to show caution on Jingyesi's side, even Gu Cheng, the commander of the Eastern Territory, came here to personally guard the city gate to prevent anyone with evil intentions from sneaking into the capital.
Of course, this kind of thing is just a formality. If there are really people with evil intentions, they must have been like the Luo Sect and the Maitreya Sect, which have been integrated into the capital long ago. How can they wait until now?
Gu Cheng stood at the gate of the city with his eyes slightly closed. He seemed to be sticking to his post, but in fact he was meditating calmly. The spiritual energy in his body spread to his limbs and bones, swimming weakly.
At this time, the sound of horse hoofbeats came from the end of the long street. Gu Cheng opened his eyes and saw that it was the third prince and others.
Gu Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly. He could roughly guess the purpose of the third prince leaving the city at this time. He must have gone to find the people from Baiyunguan.
The third prince did not have much background in the court, and the power he could rely on was limited. His connections and power were all in the world, among which Baiyun Temple was the largest and closest.
So he suffered a big loss at this time, and he must have wanted to go to Baiyun Temple to get some ideas or gain some strength or something.
The tall flame horse with a fiery red mane, which was born in the Western Regions, strode on the bluestone floor. The horse's hooves vibrated faster and faster. It had already reached the city gate before stopping, and headed straight for Gu Cheng.
Gu Cheng didn't make any move, he just looked directly at the third prince who was riding towards him. Until the horse's hooves were less than three feet away from Gu Cheng, the third prince suddenly pulled the reins and stopped the horse, condescendingly.
, looked at Gu Cheng expressionlessly.
If the previous third prince Li Xiaoxuan still had any intention of soliciting Gu Cheng, now he only has anger and murderous intention.
After the first battle, all the low-level cultivators he had recruited with great effort were wiped out.
The grandmaster-level helper sent by Shenxiao Pili Hall died in Gu Cheng's hands without even seeing his face.
Before the third prince could digest this series of blows, the fourth prince suddenly began to give in.
You give in, but in the end, there was not even a backup position left for him. After a lot of trouble, the third prince suddenly discovered that he was actually the worst one, and he lost all his dignity.
.
In this, it can be said that Gu Cheng put in a lot of effort, so when he saw Gu Cheng at this time, the anger in the third prince's heart could not be hidden at all.
Gu Cheng smiled and said: "Third Prince, it is not a good habit to ride horses in the city. I am thick-skinned and thick-skinned, which is fine, but it will be bad if I damage the flowers and plants."
The third prince stared at Gu Cheng and said in a cold voice: "Gu Cheng, you are very good. You have already reached this point, and you still dare to say sarcastic words in front of me!
You should also know the news about my king’s loss this time, right? Don’t be complacent, there’s nothing I can do about the second and fourth sons, and what can I do about you, a little commander of the Eastern Territory?”
Gu Cheng said with a calm smile: "Your Highness must pay attention to evidence when speaking, why am I too young?
The people will not fight with the officials, and the ministers will not fight with the king. You are the prince, how can I dare to fight with you?"
Of course, there was one thing Gu Cheng didn't say. He wouldn't know how to fight with the third prince. Someone would naturally come forward to add insult to injury.
You suffered a loss this time. After the ancestor worship ceremony is over, you may suffer even greater losses!
At this time, they were at the city gate, and Gu Cheng was also guarding the city gate under the orders of Jing Yesi. In public, even if the third prince wanted to give Gu Cheng a blow, he had no chance to do it, so the third prince looked at him like "
I just watched you in silence, Gu Cheng, who was acting cool, and he snorted: "Get out of the way, I'm leaving the city!"
Gu Cheng stretched out his hand and said, "Your Highness, please show me the order to leave the city."
"presumptuous!"
The third prince shouted angrily: "I want a token when I go out of the city?"
Gu Cheng said calmly: "Third Prince, you are a prince, and no one will believe that you will do something harmful to Da Gan, so you can just swipe your face.
But who are those who are following you? A group of low-class people with no official position and no token to leave the city, so they can't follow you out of the city."
The third prince brought a lot of people with him when he went out of the city this time, including Du'e Tutuo, Situ Xiao and other close men, as well as Gu Yuanzhong and his son, and more than a dozen people, among whom the majority came from the left-right world.
"Gu Cheng! You are looking for death!"
Before the third prince said anything, Du'e Tutuo, who was standing behind the third prince, heard Gu Cheng insulting them. Even though he roared angrily, he punched him directly, and a violent explosion of Gang Qi suddenly burst out in the void.
