Chapter 458 The ninth person of the Tianmeng League
Regarding the follow-up arrangements for the Battle of the Imperial City, the entire Daqian court had actually guessed it.
The only thing they didn't expect was that Li Yuangong actually appointed Gu Cheng as the supervisor of the four southwest counties, and gave him far more power than the supervisor.
You must know that the supervisory envoy of Jingyesi has a low position, but now Gu Cheng has become the supervisor of the four counties. Not counting Jingyesi who can supervise the four counties, he is even qualified to supervise the military. This is no longer a low position. The weight is high, but the position is high and the weight is high.
Especially since Gu Cheng was able to bring his confidants to take office, which was a power that previous supervisors did not have.
In fact, Jingyesi had someone with Gu Cheng's power before, but he was not a supervisor, but a commander.
For example, if there is a problem in a certain place, the imperial court has a commander to deal with it personally, so he will bring a bunch of people there.
But someone like Gu Cheng is unique, and this is the first time.
With such a resume, it can be said that Gu Cheng's status will rise immediately after he returns from the four southwest counties, and he can even be directly ranked among the top supervisors.
In the future, if the governor is dispatched to other places, it will be difficult for some small counties to allocate them to Gu Cheng. Why would we need a large county like that?
Most people are a little puzzled by Li Yuangong's approach. They feel that he values Gu Cheng too much, right?
Just because Gu Cheng was the first to stand up and express his loyalty? So this is considered as buying horse bones for a thousand dollars? Tell others that as long as they are on my side, Li Yuangong, I will definitely not treat them badly?
This seems to be the only reasonable explanation.
Therefore, everyone was envious of Gu Cheng, thinking that he had seized a good opportunity to show his face this time.
Just like Hong Dingshan, he regretted it extremely.
Before, he was only concerned about being frightened, so how could he have the energy to care about this? As a result, as the head of the Supervision Department, Gu Cheng got all the limelight and faked all the pressure. He only received some commendations, and It wasn't Li Yuangong's award, it was just some awards from within the Imperial Guard, which made Hong Dingshan extremely depressed.
In the lobby of the Supervision Department, after receiving the order, Gu Cheng first wanted to settle Kou Andu and the others and select some people to go to the southwest with him.
There are so many people in the Inspectorate now, and of course he can't take them all to the southwest, so he only plans to take a few dozen elites there.
Similarly, Jingyesi also has arrangements. One is to re-create a temporary Xuanjia Order for Gu Cheng, and the other is to issue a decree to the forces in the southwestern land and tell them about Gu Cheng's Appointment arrangements.
After all, these four southwest counties are unprecedented supervisors. If Gu Cheng takes office so openly, it is unclear whether people will recognize him as supervisor.
At this time, in the lobby of the Inspectorate, Gu Cheng and Qin Ming were sitting across from each other, chatting about the previous events in the imperial city.
Qin Ming should have returned to the southwest a long time ago, but he was delayed because of Li Yuangong's birthday.
There is nothing going on right now, Qin Ming can actually leave at any time.
However, Gu Cheng also wanted to go to the four southwest counties, so he left Qin Ming behind and prepared to set off with him. On the way, he asked Qin Ming some things about the southwest.
Although this old general is not from the four southwest counties, he has stayed in the four southwest counties all his life. He can be said to know the place very well. And because of his status, he is better than some local practitioners in the southwest. To understand.
At this time, Qin Ming sighed: "I am getting more and more confused about Your Majesty. When Your Majesty first took office, he was actually very diligent and wanted to be a wise king. Why has he become like this now?"
The relationship between Qin Ming and Gu Cheng is somewhat complicated. In theory, both parties are "dirty".
Gu Cheng knew that Qin Ming had worked as an undercover agent for Ling Tianming, the second leader of the Red Leaf Army, and Qin Ming also knew the identity of Gu Cheng's Tianmeng Alliance.
This is equivalent to two people knowing each other's background, so neither one will reveal the other's identity, but they can discuss these sensitive topics.
Of course, this is from the perspective of interests. In fact, Qin Ming's feelings for Daqian are already very complicated. His only bottom line now is his former subordinates who were disabled because of him. He has long since stopped caring about other things. .
Gu Cheng smiled and said: "That means immortality after all. As the most powerful emperor in the world, he wants to hold these powers for a lifetime after holding them for a day, so how could he be willing to let them go?
And now there is an opportunity that he can hold for a lifetime. Although the odds are a bit slim, do you think he will give up?"
Qin Ming let out a long sigh again: "Daqian was already troubled by many disasters. Now that something like this has happened, although it has little impact on the local area, it has ruined Daqian's reputation.
Father and son killed each other, failed in their quest for immortality, and the imperial city was destroyed. The impact of these things is not now, but in the future. It will be even more difficult for Daqian in the future."
"Whether it is difficult or not is not something we can decide. After all, the surname of this country is Li."
Qin Ming shook his head and did not dwell on this topic anymore. Instead, he asked Gu Cheng, "When is Gu Xiaoyou going to set off?"
Gu Cheng said: "I went to Jingyesi and asked. At this time, the news has been passed to the southwest. When the new Xuanjia order that Jingyesi built for me comes down, we can set off. It should be That is in three to five days.
I can't wait too long, His Majesty is already impatient."
Gu Cheng didn't try to hide Li Yuangong's true purpose from Qin Ming. He needed to use the old general a lot this time in the southwest.
Besides, this matter was a secret to him, Li Yuangong, but not to Gu Cheng.
Qin Ming nodded, exchanged a few words with Gu Cheng, and left directly.
When Qin Ming just left, Qiu Erniang walked in like this.
Chen Danggui and Kou An both followed her. After bringing Qiu Erniang in, they winked at Gu Cheng and closed the door.
At this time, Qiu Erniang was wearing a tight-fitting leather armor that set off her figure. She also carried two long swords behind her back and a translucent gauze hanging on her face. She looked so heroic and brave, just like the heroine who was wandering the world. Same.
Gu Cheng was shocked: "Why did you come in so arrogantly? How could they let you in?"
Qiu Erniang took off her gauze scarf and curled her lips and said: "My identity is pure and innocent. If I don't tell anyone, who will know that I am a member of the Heaven Confrontation Alliance?
Didn't you give Liu Qi a piece of your own token last time? If I hold it, your two men will naturally know that I am one of their own."
Previously, Gu Cheng asked Chen Danggui to secretly let Liu Qi into the imperial city. To be on the safe side, he did give Liu Qi a token.
Now Qiu Erniang comes in with the token, and you can tell by the look in Chen Danggui and Kou An's eyes that these two guys are definitely not serious.
"Why are you here this time? What mission does the Tiantian Alliance have?"
Qiu Erniang shook her head and said: "There is no mission. I am here to deliver something to you. Remember the feathers that Liu Qi got last time? The alliance leader has already taken care of it."
As he said that, Qiu Erniang took out the two long swords from his back.
He pulled out a long sword, which was empty except for the hilt.
Qiu Erniang handed the scabbard to Gu Cheng and said: "There is still no way to directly refine dragon energy, but with the leader's ability, it can be modified.
Your Dragon Sky Sword is also contaminated with dragon energy. At this time, the alliance leader directly integrated the dragon energy on the feathers into the scabbard. He puts the sword into the sheath on weekdays and uses the dragon energy to nourish each other. The longer it takes, the more energy it can accumulate.
The stronger the force comes out, the greater the power when it is unsheathed.
So theoretically speaking, if you don't draw your sword for a few months, the power brewed by the mutual nourishment of dragon energy might double the power of your dragon's roar sword."
Qiu Erniang pulled out another sword, but it was not a sword, but feathers stained with Buddha's light.
"The dragon energy here has been completely removed by the alliance leader, you can refine it at will.
By the way, the alliance leader also asked me to tell you that when refining, pay attention to understand its true meaning, which may bring you unexpected benefits."
Gu Cheng nodded and said, "Thank you, the leader, for me."
Qiu Erniang nodded and suddenly said: "Although you have never met the alliance leader until now, the alliance leader actually values you very much.
At the moment, the alliance leader has something to do, but he has said that after you come back from the southwest, he will meet with you and let you become the ninth person at the core of our Sky Alliance. I wonder if you are willing?
"
Gu Cheng was stunned. At first, the core of the Zhengtian Alliance only had seven members from the Hero Gang. Later, Xiao Kaishan was recruited to become the eighth member. Now he is actually asked to become the ninth member of the core?
Just look at Xiao Kaishan and you will know what the core level of the Zhengtian Alliance is.
Someone like Qiu Erniang, who has special skills and is not bound by the realm of a master, is just because she was a member of the Heaven Confrontation Alliance from the beginning, so she became one of its core members.
The latecomers must be at least as heroic as Xiao Kaishan in terms of their own strength, ability, and character in order to be qualified to become its core.
Now that Gu Cheng is only at the Grandmaster level, he actually has this qualification?
Gu Cheng was stunned and then nodded and said: "Of course I am willing, the entanglement between me and the Heaven Confrontation Alliance has become so deep that there is no possibility of breaking away.
But aren’t there any hard requirements to become a core figure in the Fighting Sky Alliance? Daxia Xiao is at the fourth level, and I have just stepped into the Grandmaster ranks.”
Qiu Erniang smiled and said: "Don't belittle yourself, how old are you, and what is the age of Daxia Xiao? Even Daxia Xiao said that you will go further than him.
The most important thing is your ability.
Before, that guy Yu Si was our biggest helper in the court, but it only took you a few years to go further than Yu Si.
Tsk tsk, the supervisors of the four southwest counties are unprecedented.
You have earned all of this with your abilities, and no one will object to your position at the core of the Tiantian Alliance, including those like Zi Laoliu and Liu Qi who don’t often express their opinions, but you are full of praise."
