Lin Tengyun has been in the southwest for so many years, and he is very familiar with people from the corpse-killing lineage and the witch-gu lineage, and he recognizes these two people.
One is Taoist Sanshi, a close disciple of Taoist Huangmei. He has three flying zombies, each of which is comparable to a master.
The old woman dressed as Miao Jiang was a little maid of Grandma Long. She was called Granny Qian because she raised a bunch of golden light Gu insects that could turn stones into gold.
"Master Three Corpses, Granny Qian, are you here too? The Wu family has just been destroyed, and you want to avenge them?"
These two were the confidants of Taoist Huang Mei and Grandma Long, so they naturally knew the inside story. When they saw that Lin Tengyun didn't look very good-looking.
Granny Qian snorted coldly and said nothing, while Taoist Sanzhi said in a strange tone: "We don't dare to do it, otherwise we will let others act as swordsmen. If the sword is broken, we won't know who did it."
In fact, what Lin Tengyun meant by asking this question was that the Wu family had just made trouble for themselves, so you should stop making trouble to avoid further trouble.
But because they knew Lin Tengyun's 'purpose', these words became an instigation in their ears, instigating them to continue to attack Gu Cheng and kill people with borrowed knives so that he could profit from it.
Both of them have secret skills that can connect with Taoist Huang Mei and Grandma Long. Knowing the attitudes of these two people, they naturally have no good impressions of Lin Tengyun.
Lin Tengyun was also stunned by the strange words of the three corpse Taoists.
Because of the strength and status of both parties, this guy usually nodded and bowed and called General Lin when he saw me. Is he taking a shot today?
And Granny Qian, although she pretends to be powerful because she is Grandma Long's personal maid, and looks domineering to everyone, she is still very respectful to herself. Why is her nose not nose or face today?
But before Lin Tengyun could get angry, Chen Angelica walked out and said, "Come in, the adults are waiting for you inside."
After saying that, Chen Danggui took a deep look at the three people present, his eyes full of meaning, but of course the three people did not feel it.
The original Wu Family Dazhai was now used as a temporary camp by Gu Cheng and others. Gu Cheng was sitting in the hall playing with a red bead with a chip. If he looked closely, the thing looked a bit like a broken eyeball.
Lin Tengyun and the other three people's hearts suddenly jumped. If they remembered correctly, one of the elders of the Wu family refined a ghost eye and placed it in the center of his eyebrows.
After coughing, Lin Tengyun said in a deep voice: "Master Gu, do you have nothing to explain to me about taking action against the Wu family?"
Gu Cheng put down the eyeball in his hand and asked in surprise: "What do I need to explain to you, General Lin? Your Divine Eye Army needs to guard Guangnan County. Well, I won't disturb you, General Lin, and specially mobilized the Raging Flame Army."
Take action against the Wu family.
Is it possible that I still need to ask General Lin for instructions on this?"
Gu Cheng's status as the supervisor of the four counties is a sharp weapon.
Normally, the general of an army is at the same level as the governor, and the supervisor is half a level lower than the governor.
However, Gu Cheng, the supervisor, held a high position of authority. He could not only supervise the four counties, but also the military, so his power was half a level higher than that of the general.
Regarding matters such as troop mobilization, Gu Cheng did not need to ask Lin Tengyun for instructions.
Lin Tengyun snorted softly and said: "That's not what I'm talking about, but why the Red Leaf Army cooperates with your actions, Mr. Gu. Is it possible that there is some collusion between Mr. Gu and the Hongye Army?"
In fact, Lin Tengyun didn't really suspect that Gu Cheng and the Hongye Army would collude, but the connection between the two parties was certain. To a large extent, Gu Cheng used the knife to kill people, and he was just using it as an excuse now.
Gu Cheng snorted coldly: "General Lin, you must be responsible for your nonsense!
I, Gu Cheng, am an important minister of the imperial court, your majesty's personal envoy to the four counties, and a descendant of the Zhongyong Marquis. It is because of my pure origin, loyalty to the emperor and patriotism that I was sent to the southwest by your majesty.
Now you are slandering me for colluding with the Red Leaf Army, General Lin, if you don’t have any evidence, I will take your case and sue you for slandering me!"
Although Lin Tengyun knew that Gu Cheng was talking nonsense, he really had no choice but to ignore Gu Cheng.
Gu Cheng was born in the capital and was a son of a prince. He was registered with Emperor Daqian and other important ministers.
And what about Lin Tengyun? Although he is also a general of the border army, and even the most powerful one in the southwest of the imperial court, he has no connections in the capital. Even if he does go to sue Gu Cheng, he can guarantee that the people in the capital will definitely Favoring Gu Cheng.
This means that he can be a local emperor in the southwest. If he goes to the capital, Gu Cheng will use a hundred ways to kill him.
Ignoring Lin Tengyun, who had a gloomy look on his face, Gu Cheng looked at the three Taoist corpses and Granny Qian and said, "What are you two doing here?"
The corpse-killing lineage and the witch-gu lineage came to make peace, but before the three corpses could speak, Granny Qian raised her head and said, "My young lady said, my Miao witch-gu lineage doesn't want to die with the imperial court. Fight to the end.
If the Ghost King Sect and the Wu Family are destroyed, they will be destroyed, but from now on, my Miao border witch and Gu lineage will not provoke the imperial court, but your court will not even think of stepping into my Miao border, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences!"
As soon as Grandma Qian spoke, Taoist Sanzhi immediately secretly said, "Oh no, this old woman is used to being domineering. Does this look like she is trying to make peace?"
Granny Qian was Grandma Long's personal maid. She wasn't very strong, but she had a great temper. For example, she was the only one in Miao Territory called Miss to show her specialness.
In the entire Miao Territory, people with the three major surnames of Long Mojin or other surnames are extremely respectful when they see Granny Qian. What she represents in the entire Miao Territory is Grandma Long herself.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Gu Cheng looked up and said with cold eyes: "Grandma Long asked you to say this?"
Seeing Gu Cheng's gaze, Granny Qian's heart suddenly trembled, but she still said stubbornly: "Anyway, that's what the lady meant."
"Ridiculous!"
Five yin energy appeared in Gu Cheng's hand, and the five ghosts transformed into five-fingered palms, and slapped Granny Qian to the ground.
"The imperial court enters the Miao territory at its own risk. Do you, the Miao witches in western Hunan, want to be independent or rebel? Is the imperial court unable to take the sword or are you too lazy? How dare you do it in front of me, the supervisor of the four counties? By saying this, are you forcing me to take action against Miaojiang?
Okay, okay, it just so happens that the Raging Flame Army has not dispersed yet, then I will do as you wish!"
Grandma Qian was slapped, and she was a little confused. When had she suffered such humiliation after traveling in Miao territory for so many years?
"Gu Cheng! You..."
Before he finished speaking, Taoist Sanshi stood up and said: "Master Gu, Granny Qian didn't mean that. The Miao border is remote and there are few people from the Central Plains, so I spoke more straightforwardly. Please forgive me, Master Gu."
At the same time, Granny Qian also had Grandma Long's poison in her body, and she also drove the poison to tell her to shut up quickly.
Although Grandma Long was also angry that Gu Cheng had beaten her people, at this time they wanted to make peace with Gu Cheng instead of fighting to the death with Gu Cheng.
Gu Cheng pointed to his head and said calmly: "Being straightforward doesn't mean you are brainless. It doesn't mean you can be as arrogant as you want. You can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense."
Taoist Sanzhi said quickly: "Yes, yes, Master Gu is capable of supporting a boat, so he must not have the same knowledge as me.
In fact, the reason why we came here this time is to tell you, Mr. Gu, that everything that happened to the Wu family was their own fault, and my Xiangxi corpse extermination lineage has nothing to do with the Miao witchcraft lineage.
Although we are low-level heretical cultivators, we are also Daqian people, so I ask you, Lord Gu, to distinguish between friends and foes and not to accidentally injure innocent people."
The words of these three corpse Taoists were very pleasing to the ears, but Lin Tengyun was staring at them. Are these two guys so cowardly? What on earth do they mean!
You must know that in the southwest, the most powerful leftist forces are the zombie lineage and the witchcraft lineage. If these two forces retreat, what else can he use to deal with Gu Cheng? Is it possible that he has to go into battle himself?
If he takes action, the matter will really come to a head and there will be no way out.
Gu Cheng's expression softened when he heard this, and he said calmly: "I wish I had said this earlier, but do you think I want to embarrass you?
I, the supervisor of the four counties, have not yet taken office, and someone came to kidnap and kill me on the way. I don’t know when I have offended so many people in the southwest.
And before I can secure my position, the Wu family jumps out to cause trouble again. Do you think I, Gu Cheng, provoked someone? The people of the imperial court are so unwelcoming in your eyes? Do you have to mess with me? Isn’t there a place in the southwest?”
Gu Cheng still had a slight sense of grievance when he said this.
Isn’t it you who forced me, the Ghost Slayer King Zongtu Wu family? I am definitely not forced to be so ruthless by you?
I want to be a good person but you don't give me a chance.
But Gu Cheng's attitude was exactly in line with the message Lan Qier had conveyed to them before.
Taoist Sanzhi said quickly: "Master Gu, don't worry, it's all the fault of the Ghost King Sect and the Wu family.
Their ghost-refining lineage has been dealing with those ghosts all day long, and their brains have been damaged. They always have a hostile attitude when they see anyone coming to the southwest, always thinking that they want to harm themselves."
The three zombie Taoists stepped on the ghost king sect and the Wu family without hesitation. They didn't think that the corpse-killing lineage playing zombies and the witchcraft lineage playing poisonous insects were not much more advanced than those two families.
Gu Cheng nodded with satisfaction and said, "I feel relieved if you two think so.
Don't worry, I, Gu Cheng, didn't come to Southwest specifically to embarrass you. If I had told you so, everyone would have been in peace a long time ago."
After receiving Gu Cheng's attitude, Taoist Sanzhi and Granny Qian left with satisfaction. Lin Tengyun immediately followed after seeing this.
He is still at a loss. What is the situation between these two families?
