Early the next morning, the old general Qin Ming called everyone together, and Xiao Kaishan was still sitting next to them with his eyes closed.
They didn't dare to let Xiao Kaishan go too far, or even let Xiao Kaishan leave their sight.
Qiu Erniang didn't tell Gu Cheng about Xiao Kaishan's strength before. After arriving here, Gu Cheng inquired about Xiao Kaishan's strength with the soldiers escorting him, and then he realized how terrifying Xiao Kaishan was.
His own strength is already at the fourth level of Wanghai realm in martial arts, and he has also practiced magical powers and secret techniques passed down from the royal family of the Liang Kingdom in the past. He has few opponents at the same level.
The general who guarded the southwest was also in the fourth level, but he was overwhelmed by the opponent, who went straight to the middle army and took off his head.
The nickname "Yishan Taibao" was only given to him by the Jianghu people in Southwest China after he raised the flag of rebellion. Why is it called "Yishan"?
Because once the imperial court encircled and suppressed the Hongye Army, the general who commanded the army had no problem with the art of war and led his army into the valley to ambush him.
The result was originally a doomed situation, but Xiao Kaishan used his great supernatural power to move the hills on one side of the valley, turning a dead end into a way of life, and finally broke out of the siege.
Although Xiao Yuanshan is a descendant of the royal family, he has been a member of the Jianghu for who knows how many years ago, so he is not good at military strategy or anything like that. He only relied on his bravery to carve out a way out.
Qin Ming looked around at the few people and said in a deep voice: "Several of you, you are not unknown in the imperial court. You have made great achievements in your respective yamen. You are all the elite among the elite and the master among the masters. But since the imperial court is now
Leave the task to us, old man, I still have to say a few words."
Gu Cheng nodded and said: "Old general, please tell me that the reason why the imperial court asked you to be the abbot is because of your rich experience."
Gu Cheng still has great respect for older practitioners like Qin Ming.
Of course, the premise is that you don't rely on your old age to show off your old age, otherwise Gu Cheng will never spoil the other person. Those who practice Tao Da Tao will come first, and it does not depend on who is older and who is stronger.
Cai Qing, who was standing aside, glanced at Gu Cheng and secretly cursed him as a flatterer.
He didn't have a good impression of Gu Cheng, not only because he was from Yin Hongyuan's lineage, but also because he was an inspector. Everything Gu Cheng did in Jiangnan Road made most of the inspectors of Jingyesi dislike him.
Logically speaking, Gu Cheng's series of actions in Jiangnan County can be said to have greatly improved the status of the supervisor, giving the position of supervisor greater power than before.
But the question is whether all supervisors are dedicated to serving the public good. With more power, there will be more things to do. The tasks assigned by the superiors must be strictly implemented.
Moreover, what Gu Cheng did in Jiangnan County was too big.
Whether it's the affairs of the Hell Realm of the Reincarnation Sect or the Thunderbolt Hall of God, these are the biggest cases in Daqian.
He, Gu Cheng, has done such a big thing even though he is not an official supervisor. It can be said that he has raised the upper limit of the position of supervisor to an extremely high level. Their superiors will inevitably compare them with Gu Cheng.
Although it is mediocre to say that he is not envied by others, it is not surprising that others are hostile to him because Gu Cheng is so 'high-profile'.
Qin Ming said in a deep voice: "The difficulties we may encounter as we travel from the southwest to the capital will be beyond everyone's imagination.
Xiao Kaishan has too many connections. There are many people who want him and even more people who want to kill him. Everyone must be prepared for this.
I have already prepared the route. I will take the shortest road from Nanzhao County to the tributary of the Chuyuan River. I will take the waterway upstream through the southwest and south of the Yangtze River until I disembark in the Central Plains. Then I will go all the way to the capital. Once we reach the hinterland of the Central Plains, we will be much safer.
Already.
This is the road Master Gu should have taken when he came, there should be no problem, right?"
Gu Cheng shook his head gently and said: "There is no problem if I leave, but I don't guarantee that there will be no problem if we leave this time.
There should be many roads from here to the tributaries of the Chuyuan River, right? I came from a small road, so how about taking the main road? Although it's a long way around, it's much safer."
Cai Qing snorted coldly: "What are the main roads and small roads in the entire southwest? The roads are all equally difficult to travel.
I'm ignorant! Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. Do you really think you have accomplished a few things by chance and don't know how much you weigh?"
Gu Cheng looked at the other party coldly and said coldly: "Junior? I wonder if you, a senior, have any good suggestions?
Where were you when I uncovered the conspiracy of the Reincarnation Sect, explored the realm of hell, and saved the entire Jiangnan area from falling into the ghost realm?
Where were you when I joined forces with Zonglian to break through Shenxiao Thunderbolt Hall and uncover the major case of liaison with the barbarians in the North?
Even a person who is a vegetarian in a corpse position dares to shout in front of me, you are qualified and you are worthy!"
"Gu Cheng! You are looking for death!"
After all, Cai Qing has been with Jingyesi for decades, and has worked his way up to this position. He is also a master-level existence, how can he endure Gu Cheng's ridicule?
Sections of dead wood poked out from his sleeves, blooming like living creatures. As he formed seals with his hands, countless sharp wood thorns rushed towards Gu Cheng!
A cold look flashed in Gu Cheng's eyes, and with a "clang" sound, the Blood Abyss Sword was unsheathed, the dragon's roar was blazing, and the dragon's shape was ethereal. In an instant, all the wooden thorns were torn apart, and it headed straight for Cai Qing!
The kidney stone right now...oh no, it's the golden elixir that has been almost digested by Gu Cheng. Although his own strength attributes have not changed much at this time, the several techniques and powers in his body are integrated into one, showing
The level of strength that came out has greatly increased.
If a normal sixth-grade practitioner can exert one point of power with one point of strength, and one point of power of a grandmaster can exert ten points of power, but now Gu Cheng has one point of power that can exert five points of power, a half-step master.
, almost equal to the fifth grade!
Gu Cheng's reputation has long been spread, and Cai Qing also knew that the opponent had a record of killing master-level experts, but he never expected that the opponent could be so strong.
He is a grandmaster born in Jingyesi, not one of those low-ranking masters in the world.
"Empty wooden door!"
Cai Qing gave a low shout and made a seal with his hand. The underground life burst into bloom, and the trees and flowers bloomed, turning into a portal in front of him.
No matter how Gu Cheng's powerful sword energy strangled him, the trees and flowers bloomed in turn, counteracting the power.
"enough!"
At this moment, Qin Ming shouted loudly, the sound was like a thunderous roar, and the wave of power actually penetrated the strength of Gu Cheng and Cai Qing, completely defeating them.
Taking a deep breath, Qin Ming said in a deep voice: "You two are both elite members of Jingyesi, why are you targeting each other like this?
This business is not easy. It is difficult to resist foreign enemies, and it will definitely be even more difficult if internal disagreements are added to it."
Gu Cheng cupped his hand and said calmly: "Old General Mingjian, it's not that I, Gu Cheng, want to cause trouble intentionally, but that someone can't tolerate me."
Cai Qing wanted to say something else, but when he saw Qin Ming's glance, he didn't dare to cause trouble again.
This old general who has retired long ago may seem inconspicuous, but he has been working in the military all his life. He was qualified to enter the three armies of the capital and hold the important position of general like Hong Dingshan. It was just because of his love in the southwest. I don't want to leave.
But he has many friends in the military and many masters he brought out in the past. Relations in the military are complicated, and Cai Qing is not willing to provoke them.
The only one present was Long Shiqi who seemed not to care about anything, his eyes looking indifferently ahead.
Seeing that everyone present suddenly became quiet, Qin Ming waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Anyway, there will definitely be a lot of troubles along the way. It will definitely be the same no matter which way you go, so just choose the closest one first."
………………
Although the rugged mountain road could not stop Gu Cheng and others in the dark night, Xiao Kaishan, who was wearing powerful seal shackles and had his cultivation level sealed, could not walk fast.
They had been on the road for three days, and they had not encountered any problems during these three days, which also made the other eight soldiers heave a sigh of relief.
It seems that those people knew that the imperial court sent a total of four master-level experts to escort them this time, so they were afraid and did not dare to act recklessly.
Although Gu Cheng has not officially become a Grandmaster, their level of cultivation cannot see through Gu Cheng's cultivation. They only saw the scene where Gu Cheng and Cai Qing fought. Anyone who can fight against a Grandmaster without falling behind must also be a Grandmaster. chant.
"As shown on the map, is there an inn or other accommodation ahead?"
Qin Ming looked forward and asked a soldier who had been here since childhood and was very familiar with the southwest.
The soldier scratched his head and said: "Old General, this is not true. The money and food allocated by the imperial court to Southwest over the years has not been much, so many of the official post stations have been abandoned. There were some in the past, but not necessarily now.
The same is true for inns. Over the past few years, the southwest has not been peaceful, and there have been many fewer merchants coming and going here, so many of these inns have also disappeared."
Qin Ming sighed and said: "Let's go forward. If there is no place like the Inn or Inn in the middle of the night, then rest on the spot."
At this time, Qin Ming and the others have been gone for three days. They are all in the master realm. Let alone three days, they will not die even if they do not eat, drink or sleep for thirty days.
But the problem is that it is detrimental to their vitality. Although they have to rush, they also need to ensure safety, so they must keep themselves in peak condition at all times.
In addition, those eight soldiers were only elites in the army and had limited cultivation. They could not withstand the torture of Gu Cheng and others.
After everyone walked on the mountain road for more than ten miles, a hazy red light finally appeared in front of their eyes. It was a small inn on the side of the road. It seemed to be quite large in size.
Cai Qing walked over and said, "Does the map indicate that there is an inn ahead?"
The soldier leading the way hesitated and said: "Yes, yes, but..."
Cai Qing waved his hand and said, "That's all. I haven't bathed for several days, and I'm going to have lice all over my body."
As an inspector, it can be said that he is very pampered, because he is an inspector who is permanently stationed in the southwest.
The governors of several counties in the southwest were very polite to him, and treated him with great courtesy. Escorting Xiao Kaishan and his party was really a hard job.
