Gu Cheng has been in Jingyesi for so many years. Whether it is the martial arts in the Central Plains or the southern barbarians in Western Xinjiang, he has been to so many places, but he has never seen a martial arts sect that has a good relationship with Jingyesi.
Even if there is a good relationship, it is only a good relationship in name, but secretly there is collusion of interests, so which category does this person belong to?
The leader of the Fire Refining Divine Sword Sect was a tall man with a rough appearance. He stood up and raised his hands boldly towards Gu Chengyi and said: "Grand Governor Ye Wuzhao is a second-grade strong man but he treats me like this."
The people in Jianghu are very kind and even taught me martial arts.
Now that the whereabouts of the Grand Governor are unknown, and the chaos in Western Xinjiang has resumed, the imperial court is sad, and we Jianghu sects are also sad.
If Mr. Gu needs cooperation, I, Liu Yufeng, am willing to lead Mr. Gu to the place where the Governor and the others last stayed to investigate."
Gu Cheng frowned slightly at this time, but before he could speak, Li Kuan said in a strange tone: "The adults from the capital are very delicate.
Who from the capital has come to Western Xinjiang Parallax over the years without searching for the first floor first? Mr. Li, you are a little too impatient."
The land of Western Xinjiang is not a barren desert. In fact, in addition to the harsh environment, Western Xinjiang also has some special products.
For example, many veins of gold, silver, jade, and various rare equipment-refining materials are produced in Western Xinjiang.
In particular, 30% of the material veins for the gas refining array are produced in Western Xinjiang.
Therefore, it seems unreasonable for the big shots who have always come from the capital, whether they are commanders or other imperial envoys, to come to Western Xinjiang so far away and not take back some specialties.
When Li Yuanqing saw Li Kuan targeting Gu Cheng like this, he quickly stood up and acted as a peacemaker: "Your Majesty, your words are wrong. Master Gu's reputation has spread from the capital to our western territory. How could he be such a person?"
?”
At this time, Gu Cheng suddenly showed a smile: "Since the prince thinks that I am a vegetarian in the corpse position, well, I will use practical actions to prove whether I am the kind of person who is a vegetarian in the corpse position.
Sect Leader Liu, please take us now to the place where Governor Ye Wuzhao last disappeared."
Seeing that Gu Cheng and Liu Yufeng were getting ready to investigate, Hong Dingshan frowned, feeling that something was wrong.
Did things move too fast or was Li Kuan's targeting of Gu Cheng too obvious?
Or have you experienced too many conspiracies and calculations in the past few years in the capital, so nothing you see feels right?
But at this time, Gu Cheng had already made up his mind, and he didn't say much. Instead, he planned to leave some people to guard Yunzhong Town, while others would follow them to investigate.
At this time, Gu Cheng suddenly said: "Take everyone with you."
Hong Dingshan was stunned, and Li Yuanqing hesitated and said: "You don't have to be like this, Master Gu? Why do you need to bring so many people with you just to investigate?"
Gu Cheng said calmly: "It's not peaceful in Western Xinjiang right now. If you bring more people with you, you can counterattack in time if you encounter people from evil cults or small tribes that are hostile to Daqian.
Besides, I always like to solve problems at once. Regardless of whether the whereabouts of Governor Ye Wuzhao are found or not, the cult rebellion in Western Xinjiang still needs to be suppressed."
Hong Dingshan glanced at Gu Cheng doubtfully.
He knew Gu Cheng's ability. If something unexpected happened, it would be easier for Gu Cheng, him and some elites to escape.
Although the people from Jingyesi and the imperial guards they brought were also elite, their too many numbers were not conducive to timely changes.
But now he is considered to be half guilty, and everything on this trip is mainly focused on Gu Cheng. Hearing what Gu Cheng said, he didn't say much.
Seeing Gu Cheng being so determined, Li Yuanqing hesitated for a moment and then nodded.
After Gu Cheng and others left and everyone else dispersed from the banquet, Li Kuan stared at Gu Cheng's back, the hostility in his eyes turning into a strong murderous intent.
Going west out of Yunzhong City is the outskirts of Xijiang. To be precise, this should be the junction area between Daqian and the outskirts of Xijiang. Daqian's army may patrol here, and so may the alien cults in Xijiang. Haunted here.
Liu Yufeng led the way and said: "Mr. Gu, the last place Governor Ye Wuzhao went to was Xixia City. It was originally a natural canyon, and a small lake below formed a small oasis. Therefore, as a place for traveling merchants, Resting place.
The Blood Spirit Cult took over that place after its resurgence, and Governor Ye Wuzhao directly slaughtered all the members of the Blood Spirit Cult in Xixia City. After that, he seemed to find something in them, so he sent us back."
Gu Cheng nodded and suddenly asked: "Sect Leader Liu's Fire Refining Divine Sword Sect should be very strong, right? There are only a few people who can reach the fourth level of cultivation in this place in Western Xinjiang."
The Liu Yufeng in front of me has a very good attitude, but he himself is also a strong man who has reached the fourth level.
With his strength, he is actually fully qualified to be one of the thirty-two sects of Jianghu, but the Western Xinjiang martial arts has never been recognized by the Central Plains martial arts. These people are also descendants of sinners and murderers five hundred years ago, although not all of them are. , but most of them are, so no matter how strong they are, they are not qualified to be among the thirty-two sects.
Liu Yufeng was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He seemed to have never expected that Gu Cheng would actually mention the Fire Sword Sect while he was talking about Ye Wuzhao.
"Haha, Master Gu is joking, my strength is nothing in front of you, Master Gu.
I have heard that Master Gu is sweeping across the forces of the Southwest Left Dao, and every one of those families is stronger than my Fire Sword Sect. I don’t dare to call myself strong in front of Master Gu.”
Gu Cheng smiled, but the next moment his eyes suddenly darkened: "Since Sect Master Liu knows that I will not take the Fire Sword Sect in my eyes, why did you lie to me? You are not afraid of tricking me. Death, but I turned around and destroyed your Fire Divine Sword Sect?
To put it arrogantly, there are countless people in the world who want to kill me, Gu Cheng, but in the end, I will let them die!
The strength of your Fire Divine Sword Sect is not weak, but do you think you can stop me and these elite Xuanjia Guards and Imperial Guards with just your strength?"
Hong Dingshan was stunned, wondering why Gu Cheng suddenly attacked Liu Yufeng.
Liu Yufeng's expression changed even more, and he said with an angry look on his face: "Mr. Gu, what do you mean? I led you with good intentions, but you slandered me like this."
Gu Cheng said calmly: "Slander? Maybe, but I've always been a person who would rather betray others than let others betray me. This is the truth taught to me by my late Emperor Daqian.
In short, I feel that you, Sect Leader Liu, are a bit redundant. I will kill you today and throw you a hat of colluding with a cult. Who can say anything? Who can do anything to me?"
Seeing that Gu Cheng had already pulled out the Longxiao Sword in his hand, Liu Yufeng's expression suddenly became extremely gloomy.
This Gu Cheng has reached the point of being unreasonable. He wants to kill people just because of suspicion without evidence? Is this simply insane? Is he suffering from delusions of persecution?
But seeing that Gu Cheng was really going to take action, the anger on Liu Yufeng's face disappeared, and he just said with a gloomy expression: "Master Gu, I really want to know how you are sure that there is something wrong with me?"
Gu Cheng said calmly: "I knew you had a problem from your first sentence.
You actually added something superfluous and said that Governor Ye Wuzhao was kind and taught you martial arts? What a joke!"
Others don’t understand Ye Wuzhao, so don’t the people within Jingyesi understand him?
Ye Wuzhao's character has nothing to do with kindness. On the contrary, he is extremely arrogant, even to the point of being willful.
Even the people within Jingyesi were frightened and cautious towards him. Only when Ye Wuzhao was in a good mood would he give advice to his subordinates on some matters of cultivation.
You, Liu Yufeng, are so lovable, will you let Ye Wuzhao be kind to you and make an exception to give you guidance?
Maybe Liu Yufeng wanted to find a reasonable excuse for him to take the initiative to lead the way for Gu Cheng, so he added this sentence in an extra step, but in the end, this sentence turned out to be the biggest flaw.
Gu Cheng continued: "Actually, your performance has been very problematic. The person behind you should be Li Kuan, the King of Xiling, right?
When we were first assassinated by the corpse clan, General Hong said that this matter did not seem to be Li Kuan's handiwork.
It was the same after entering the city. Li Kuan was always targeting me. If he wanted to kill me, he shouldn't be so explicit.
But the rhythm of what happened next was a little wrong. You were too anxious, as if you were anxious for my detailed investigation in Yunzhong City, and everything was very cooperative with me.
Even Li Kuan was afraid that I would stay in Yunzhong City too long, so he used words to provoke me and asked me to leave to investigate.
So what are you afraid of? Is the disappearance of Governor Ye Wuzhao related to you?
But you don’t seem to have the strength or courage, so you are probably targeting me because of Li Kuan.
And this matter should also involve Li Yuanqing, the governor of central Western Xinjiang, right?
As the governor of the town, there is no reason for him not to know that hundreds of zombie tribesmen crossed the Yunzhong City defense line to assassinate us.
If he really doesn't know anything about it, then he is too useless as a governor."
Liu Yufeng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "These are just your guesses, and there is no substantial evidence.
Just because of these few speculations, you are sure that we have a problem?"
Gu Cheng spread his hands and said, "Of course I'm not sure, but I've said it before, I would rather betray others than let others betray me.
Western Xinjiang is already full of dangers, and if someone of my own is plotting against me, I won’t be able to compensate even if I have a few lives, so I must be more cautious.
Since you martial arts sects in Western Xinjiang are sinners and murderers, don't think that I don't know what you have done.
To the outside world, you are bandits, plundering and killing some small tribes in Western Xinjiang, plundering mineral treasures, and even human slaves.
Internally, they extorted merchants from the Central Plains and raised prices. Anyone who had any doubts would probably be unable to leave Western Xinjiang.
In this way, the moths will not be wronged if they are killed first and tried later. If they are killed by mistake, they should be eliminated in advance for the people."
