Murong came to redeem someone, but it turned out that the prince Li Xiaoqing came with someone, which made Gu Cheng a little confused.
Of course, what Gu Cheng couldn't understand was that Li Xiaoqing still looked like this useless person. Then why did Li Yuangong suddenly treat his son so well that he even gave him the right to supervise the country?
Is it difficult because Li Yuangong felt that he owed his son something before, so now his conscience has discovered it?
However, no matter how Gu Cheng looked at Li Yuangong, he didn't seem to be such a soft-hearted person.
At this time, Hong Dingshan looked at the things sent by the Murong family and sighed: "The Murong family, one of the seven great families, is so grand, and the things he sent are enough to make ordinary masters drool over them.
By the way, Mr. Gu, what do you think if we keep some of these things? The Supervision Department works so hard, so it’s not too much to keep some hard work, right?"
Gu Cheng shook his head and said: "Normally, it's not excessive, but we'd better hand over all these things.
Don't forget who brought Murong. If the prince told your majesty how much Murong gave us, but we ended up withholding some of it, then the problem would be huge.
So just hand them all in. As for how much we can get in the end, it’s up to God. Anyway, we don’t lack these things.”
Gu Cheng has a black jade dimension, and he actually doesn't care much about the cultivation resources that most practitioners regard as treasures.
In fact, the same is true for Hong Dingshan. He is already a general of the Imperial Guard. At his position, the treatment given to him by the court is also extremely generous.
Moreover, he was a general in the army when he was in Western Xinjiang. He was like a local emperor, and the resources he could accumulate were extremely astonishing.
So they won't be like Dong Xinjue, who sells himself out without seeing the world at the slightest benefit.
Hearing what Gu Cheng said, Hong Dingshan nodded and secretly said it was a pity, but in the end he closed the box.
At this time, Gu Cheng suddenly said: "General Hong, do you think His Majesty really wants to refine the elixir of immortality?"
Hong Dingshan was immediately startled when he heard Gu Cheng ask such a sensitive question.
He subconsciously looked around and realized that there was no one else around, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
It was a simple matter of conversation, but under normal circumstances Gu Cheng would not say such things to Hong Dingshan.
But now they are all in the Supervision Department and have been involved in this matter, so there is no problem in talking about it.
Hong Dingshan took a deep look at Gu Cheng and said in a deep voice: "To be honest, I don't know either.
But I only know one thing, your Majesty is not stupid. Your Majesty knows the consequences of what we know, and he even thinks more than us.
When His Majesty won the throne, I was just a low-level officer in the Western Frontier Army.
At that time, no one in the entire military, or even in the entire world, had heard of His Majesty's name. He could not even count ten fingers among the popular candidates for the throne, but in the end it was him who won the throne.
So I only know that you should never underestimate Your Majesty at any time, even if I don’t know why the imperial court’s control over the border areas has weakened over the years, I still believe that Your Majesty will not do stupid things.”
Gu Cheng nodded slightly. He agreed with Hong Dingshan's words, but he only agreed half of it.
How could someone who was able to defeat so many competitors and finally win the throne be so stupid?
But a person who is not stupid does not mean that he is not greedy, especially the legendary immortality.
The experience of his previous life told Gu Cheng that even if the emperor was wise and mighty in his youth, when he was about to die, he might do something when the desire to survive overcame everything else.
However, it was not easy for Gu Cheng to tell Hong Dingshan about this kind of thing. After the two parties combined, they sent the things Murong gave them directly to the palace.
Li Yuangong was originally too lazy to take care of such trivial matters, but after all, he decided to establish the Supervision Department, so he also met with Gu Cheng and Hong Dingshan in the side hall.
After hearing about Murong's affairs, Hong Dingshan did not react at all. He waved his hand casually and said: "Since Murong gave these things to you, just take them.
The Supervisory Department was established temporarily, and I haven't given you a salary yet, so these are regarded as your salary rewards."
At this time, Gu Cheng hesitated a little and said: "There is one more thing I want to report to Your Majesty. The Murong family was brought by the prince to supervise the Sishui people."
This matter was also discussed between Gu Cheng and Hong Dingshan before.
It's not that they gave the prince eye drops on purpose, but they didn't need to hide it for the prince's sake.
Hong Dingshan had a relationship with the second prince who was close to the military, and Gu Cheng had a relationship with the fourth prince. If that was the case, what reason did they have to help the prince hide these things?
So let’s just tell the truth and let it be what it is.
After hearing this, Li Yuangong didn't react at all, and even Gu Cheng didn't see the slightest emotion in his eyes.
"Okay, I understand.
You inspectors should work more hard during this period. After my birthday, this group of people should stop.
Don’t worry, I will never treat a hero badly. I will keep everything you have done for me and for me in my heart.”
After encouraging the two of them, Li Yuangong left directly, but the other party's attitude made Gu Cheng even more confused.
Did Li Yuangong already know this, or has His Majesty been able to keep his emotions and angers a secret?
Gu Cheng was relatively relaxed in the remaining days, because the Murong Hou incident had a shocking effect, so the number of Jianghu people who dared to cause trouble in the capital was significantly reduced.
Gu Cheng and Hong Dingshan also began to divide the work. One was responsible for patrolling during the day, and the other was responsible for patrolling during the night, one after another.
It was approaching Li Yuangong's birthday, which was originally considered a happy day, and there should not be a curfew in the capital.
But now the capital was in chaos, so a curfew was imposed. When night fell over the capital, the entire capital suddenly became silent.
When Gu Cheng had just inspected the Northern Territory, a night watchman from the Northern Territory hurriedly ran over and said: "Sir Gu, something is wrong at the North City Gate. There is a Jianghu man who broke into the gate without permission. The soldiers guarding the gate and us
Even if we can't stop the other party, the commander asked us to come to you to deal with it."
Gu Cheng raised his eyebrows lightly. Chu Youran was a slippery guy. Once he encountered something he couldn't handle, he immediately reported it to the Inspectorate. The Inspectorate actually took him seriously.
"What's the background of the other party? Has he ever hurt anyone?"
The night watchman shook his head and said: "I can't tell. It seems to be a casual cultivator, but it seems to have a background. However, the other party seemed to just want to enter the city. He just knocked down a few night watchmen easily and did not hurt anyone.
.”
Gu Cheng frowned slightly, the person coming here was not weak.
Jingyesi's night watchmen are all sixth-grade practitioners. Those who can easily knock them down without hurting them must be at the master level.
Since the last time Gu Cheng took Murong Hou on a three-day trip to the Black Prison, even the beings at the master level in the capital have become more honest.
Is it possible that this person is new here, so he doesn’t know about the turmoil in the capital?
"You go to the Inspectorate and notify General Hong Dingshan to come, and I'll go take a look."
As he said this, Gu Cheng disappeared instantly without a trace, making the night watchman envious.
It's not that he envied Gu Cheng's strength, that's something he couldn't envy either. He envied Gu Cheng's way of doing things.
Although working as an errand in the Jingyesi Division in the capital is well-paid, it is really frustrating to be aggrieved. This person cannot move, and the other dare not move. Even if there is someone who dares to move, he must consider the extent to which he moves and what the consequences will be.
Most of them are elites selected from Jingyesi from various places. Which one of them is not a sideways character in the local area? However, when they arrive in the capital, they have to temper their sharp edges.
But let’s look at what Mr. Gu does that is so inspiring, what about the evil cultivator who is comparable to the realm of a master? He will kill him as soon as he says it.
What about the heir of the Murong family, one of the seven great families? Arrest him at will.
The things that Gu Cheng did during this period not only shocked the people in the capital, but also made the middle and low-level practitioners in Jingyesi feel quite encouraged.
………………
In the quiet night, Gu Cheng stood at the end of the street with his sword in both hands, listening to the footsteps coming from the other side, and he couldn't help but frown slightly.
The power coming from the footsteps of the stranger was very strange. The other person was a practitioner, but he didn't seem to be a practitioner. In short, the power was very strange. It was impossible to tell the strength of the other party. Moreover, the power actually made Gu
Cheng felt something familiar.
A moment later, a person came from the end of the street. He was a middle-aged man with a height of two meters. He was as tall and thin as a bamboo pole. He was wearing a purple-gold mink fur robe, with a ruddy face, tiger eyes and an eagle nose.
The man was humming something as he walked. After seeing Gu Cheng, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and the hum in his mouth turned into a singing tune with a strange tone:
The sun sets and the sky turns dark. Every house has its doors bolted.
A gentleman on the road rushes to the inn, birds fly to the mountains and forests, and tigers return to the mountains.
There are seven-star glazed tiles on the head and eight-sided purple gold bricks on the feet.
Put your feet on the ground and raise your head to the sky. Take big steps and walk in a circle.
Stand firm with both feet and lean on the camp board. Place the incense table to invite the gods.
Invite the fox first, then the yellow, and the white python to lead the King of Sorrow.
Beat the Heavenly King's drum with your left hand, and pick up the divine whip with your right hand.
The Jade Emperor in the sky does not open his eyes, so he invites the Five Immortals to protect the country!
As the singing ended, the man's whole body was filled with a gray-yellow soaring demonic aura. The aura was so rich that it was already comparable to a master in the middle or late stage of the fifth rank!
Gu Cheng's eyes suddenly narrowed, Liaodong came out!
The man raised his hand towards Gu Cheng, but his posture was very strange. His right hand was outside and his left hand was inside, but a thumb with a jade ring finger was exposed.
"Huang Jiuzheng of Sanxian Mountain in Liaodong has met Mr. Gu.
In the dead of night, the living people sleep peacefully. This capital city is not a place for fighting. How about going outside the city to learn Master Gu’s clever tricks?"
