The more tough and impatient Gu Cheng was, the prouder the Wu family became.
In their view, this was a sign that Gu Cheng had no choice but to do anything.
At this time, Lin Tengyun opened his mouth to make peace, and Wu Yunxiao said calmly: "Since General Lin has spoken, I will give General Lin this face.
In fact, what my Wu family wants is very simple, just a fair statement.
Master Gu punished the Ghost King Sect for refusing to teach, and I, the Ghost Refiner, are not convinced. As long as Master Gu is willing to publicly apologize in front of all the fellow Jianghu practitioners in the southwest, then this matter will be over.
Also, the Ghost King Sect has been destroyed. My Wu family is the leader of the ghost refining line. The Ghost King Sect’s territory is in Guangnan County. I, the Wu family, have taken over Guangnan County. Please don’t stop me, Mr. Gu.
The last one is to ask Mr. Gu to recognize me as the leader of the Wu family’s ghost refining line on behalf of the imperial court.”
Wu Yunxiao put forward three points. The first point was for the sake of reputation. He wanted all practitioners in the southwest to know that it was his Wu family who forced Gu Cheng to bow his head.
The second point is for profit. No one else in the Ghost King Sect wants the territory, but the Wu family is very eager for it.
As for the third point, that was left for Gu Cheng to bargain with.
The Daqian court had long regarded the Liangui lineage as a low-level leftist group. If their power was not as powerful as the three major cults, they must be one of the cults. How could Gu Cheng be qualified and how could he dare to represent it? Will the court recognize it?
So it doesn't matter if Gu Cheng doesn't agree to this, the Wu family doesn't want Gu Cheng to agree.
After listening to Wu Yunxiao's words, Gu Cheng immediately sneered. The Wu family really didn't know how to live or die.
The land in western Hunan is not enough for him to use, and he actually wants the territory in Guangnan County.
In fact, if Gu Chengruo were the governor of the Southwest, he could slowly continue to play with the leftist forces in the Southwest. He would agree to their conditions in advance and support one to suppress the others, which would be enough to cause discord between them.
But now that Gu Cheng can secretly control such a powerful force, why would he use such methods?
Looking coldly at Wu Yunxiao, Gu Cheng said coldly: "There are still too few leaders in the Wu family. How about this? I will go to the court and confer the master of the Wu family as the national teacher, and let the ghost-refining lineage become the national religion of Daqian."
Wu Yunxiao frowned and said, "Master Gu, are you kidding me?"
Gu Cheng said calmly: "It was Master Wu who made a joke on me first."
Hearing this, Wu Yunxiao immediately waved his hand and said coldly: "Since this is the case, there is no need to talk. As long as my Wu family is here, there will be no peace in Xiangxi!
Finally, I want to see whether it is my Wu family that can last longer, or whether you, Gu Cheng, can afford such a big risk and blame!"
With that said, Wu Yunxiao walked away directly.
But when he was about to walk out of the camp, Gu Cheng suddenly said from behind him: "Master Wu, is there really no chance?"
Wu Yunxiao sneered: "Opportunities are not given by others, they are earned by oneself.
It’s not that I don’t give you a chance, Mr. Gu, but that you, Mr. Gu, don’t give yourself a chance.”
After saying that, Wu Yunxiao walked out of the camp directly. Lin Tengyun sighed behind him: "I'm going to persuade the head of the Wu family, hoping he won't make too much trouble."
The two of them did not notice that the moment they walked out of the camp, Gu Cheng's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
After walking out of the camp, Wu Yunxiao suddenly changed his face and said to Lin Tengyun: "General Lin, will Gu Cheng compromise?"
Lin Tengyun shook his head and said: "A few more times should be enough, but the conditions you proposed are too much. Didn't you agree before that as long as Gu Cheng gives in and gives you the Ghost King Sect's territory, it will be enough, but you still want to Ask him to apologize in front of all his martial arts comrades in the Southwest?
How can a young and energetic person like Gu Cheng, who has reached such a position at his age, agree to this?"
Wu Yunxiao said calmly: "I did it on purpose. Since our Wu family wants to inherit the reputation of the Ghost King Sect in the ghost refining lineage, we cannot leave the slightest stain on it.
If Gu Cheng is not allowed to bow his head, where will the face of my Liangui lineage go?"
After saying that, Wu Yunxiao left straight away, and Lin Tengyun looked at his back with a frown.
These guys were becoming more and more disobedient to discipline, and of course there was nothing he could do about it.
Because if he, a great general, does not cooperate with these leftist forces, he will be unable to move forward in the southwest.
Even if he didn't have the means, this group of people would not be cooperating, but directly oppressing.
But these are not important. What is important is to deal with Gu Cheng first.
As long as Gu Cheng is driven out of the southwest, the southwest will still be his world. Then he will naturally have time to continue his intrigues with these guys.
But Lin Tengyun didn't know that after they left, Gu Cheng had already begun to deploy troops and generals, preparing to completely destroy the Wu family.
When Gu Cheng asked Wu Yunxiao if he still had a chance, he was not asking if he had a chance, but if the Wu family had a chance.
It's a pity that the Wu family killed their last chance.
"The Red Leaf Army is already in place?"
Chen Danggui nodded and said: "Ye Mingge from the Red Leaf Army has sent the message and is ready to take action at any time."
"Where is the Raging Flame Army?"
Kou Andu said from the side: "Three thousand elites of the Raging Flame Army have entered Nanli Mansion along the waterway, and the old general Qin Ming has helped arrange it."
Gu Cheng narrowed his eyes and said, "Well, we will officially take action tonight, march into Western Hunan, and wipe out the Wu family!"
Late at night, Xu Youming, the governor of western Hunan, was pulled out of bed by Gu Cheng.
"What are you planning to do, Mr. Gu?"
Xu Youming was a little strange, thinking that Gu Cheng came to him for a drink and a heart-to-heart talk.
He had also heard about what happened during the day, and Gu Cheng's talks with the Wu family broke down again.
Xu Youming didn't complain about this kind of thing. After all, he was the governor of Xiangxi Town, and the place was a mess. This meant that Gu Cheng was qualified to ask people from the Wu family to negotiate terms with him. If it were replaced by his own qualifications, he might not even be able to negotiate terms.
nothing.
"Mr. Xu, you feel aggrieved to have been the governor of Xiangxi for so many years?" Gu Cheng asked.
Xu Youming's face showed a complicated look: "I'm very aggrieved!
If the court blames me for this incident, I will be ready to resign."
Gu Cheng shook his head and said: "Mr. Xu, it's not that I'm harsh, you are also an old man of Jingyesi. I, Jingyesi, destroy demons, ghosts and evil cultivators, suppress Jianghu sects, and after all, I am also the most powerful armed organization in Daqian. Where can I go?"
It's not impressive.
Now you have lost your fighting spirit and are actually preparing to resign. Isn't this too cowardly?"
Xu Youming smiled bitterly and said, "What else can we do?"
Gu Cheng's eyes showed a cold look and said: "How did I, Jingyesi, suppress demons and ghosts and evil cultivators five hundred years ago? Kill with one word!
Those who disobey will be killed!
Anyone who dares to cause trouble will be killed!
If you don’t like it, kill it!
Despite the excitement in the land of Western Xinjiang now, five hundred years ago, the foreign races in Western Xinjiang were almost massacred by Daqian until they were exterminated.
What impression did the foreigners in Western Xinjiang give Da Gan at that time? They were good at singing and dancing, not because they were good at singing and dancing, but because all those who were good at conquering and fighting had been killed!
Now we are just facing a group of low-level evil cultivators, why should we retreat in front of them?"
Gu Cheng's words made Xu Youming's blood boil. But after all, he was middle-aged and came from the old world. Naturally, it was impossible for him to be fooled into following him to death by Gu Cheng's passionate words.
Xu Youming smiled bitterly and said: "I also want to kill and suppress, but I don't have the strength.
I myself am willing to die, but I also have to consider the brothers under my command.
The Jingyesi of Xiangxi County should be the most impoverished of all the Daqian Jingyesi. The total number of Xuanjia Guards under my command is less than 300, which may not be as large as the number of people in a state capital in the Central Plains. .
Even in the Miao border area, which occupies one-third of the entire western Hunan area, there is not even a Jingyesi branch, how sad it is."
Gu Cheng pulled Xu Youming out, waved his hand and said: "Not enough strength? Are these enough?"
Outside Nanli Mansion, three thousand elite Fury Army soldiers wearing crimson armor were already arranged in a square formation, waiting quietly there.
The general also gave Qin Ming face. These Raging Flame soldiers were all the best among the best. There was not even an ordinary soldier among them. Last but not least, they were those warriors who had fought hundreds of battles and captains of the corps. Their strength was basically the same. All are above grade eight.
The Raging Flame Army serves as a barrier to guard the southwest and the Central Plains, so its strength is not fake at all. Occasionally, it is mobilized to the Western Frontier to train troops for a period of time before returning.
He had also heard of Xu Youming, the famous name of this army. He couldn't help but be stunned, wondering when Gu Cheng mobilized them.
However, Xu Youming still hesitated and said: "But the turmoil caused by the Wu family is too great now. Not only the Wu family itself, but also other low-level left-right practitioners are following. I am afraid these people are not enough."
Gu Cheng waved his hand and said, "Master Xu, don't worry about this. They will naturally have someone to deal with them, and even when they get to the Wu family, they will have someone to deal with them.
I just want to ask Mr. Xu, after having endured so many years of humiliation and humiliation, is Mr. Xu willing to be proud and proud for once?
If Mr. Xu is willing, you can join me in killing the Wu family today. When you return to the capital in the future, I will ask for credit for you, Mr. Xu.
If Mr. Xu is not willing, then I'm sorry, but I can only let Mr. Xu stay in Nanli Mansion for a few days, otherwise I'm afraid that the matter will be exposed."
Xu Youming knew who Gu Chengdi was wary of, and it was none other than Lin Tengyun.
In fact, Xu Youming's identity is very embarrassing. On the one hand, he is unwilling to join forces with people like Lin Tengyun and make money by joining forces with those left-leaning forces to bully the weak.
On the other hand, he didn't dare to break up with the other party and risk his own life to challenge the interest group of the entire southwest, so he could only watch.
Now that there is such an opportunity, the closest opportunity to eradicate these leftist forces in the southwest, Xu Youming did not think for too long and said fiercely: "I have endured it for so many years and I have had enough!
Regardless of victory or defeat this time, I don’t want to continue being the aggrieved governor!"
Gu Cheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Xu, you have chosen the right path, and your position as governor will be extremely secure."
