Others may be afraid of Li Xiaowu's suspicion, but Li Xiaojun is not afraid.
He was the first person to follow Li Xiaowu, and he was also Li Xiaowu's younger brother. If Li Xiaowu even turned his anger against him, he would really be disowning all his relatives.
"Master Gu, what your Majesty did this time is indeed a bit excessive, but that is also because there are villains on the side who are slandering you."
Gu Cheng was surprised and said: "Oh? There is such a thing?"
Li Xiaozhun hummed softly and said: "Recently, Your Majesty has a lot of trust in Zhenren Qingxuan of Luotian Dao Sect, but this guy always tells Your Majesty about being vigilant and suppressing.
Don’t worry, Mr. Gu, I will tell His Majesty something about you when I get the chance, and ask His Majesty to recall you back to the capital."
Gu Cheng touched his nose and found that many people seemed to have misunderstood. In fact, Gu Cheng did not want to stay in the capital.
Although the capital is the center of power of Jingyesi, this place is too stable and suitable for the kind of seclusion and ascetic cultivation, but not suitable for practitioners like Gu Cheng who have honed their strength in battles and battles.
So Gu Cheng actually didn't dislike the capital, but felt that the capital was too comfortable.
However, Li Xiaozhun was also kind-hearted, and after Gu Cheng exchanged a few words with him, he led his people to Liaodong County.
In fact, we know a lot about Gu Cheng of Liaodong County.
On the way back from Western Xinjiang, Gu Cheng knew that he was going to the Wujiaxian lineage to look for clues left by Ye Fashan, so he found a lot of information about the land of Liaodong.
After reading this, he realized that his trip to Liaodong might not be so smooth.
Ye Fashan said that he had placed the clues in the Five Immortals Cave.
So where is the Five Immortals Cave? It is the holy land of the entire Five Immortals lineage. Even the Five Immortals alone do not have the authority to open it. Only the leaders of the five Immortal Immortal families agree to open it.
That place is not a treasure, but it is said to be the place where the Five Immortals lineage was first born. It is of great significance to them, so it became a holy place.
With the cultivation level of the former Luofu Master Ye Fashan, let alone entering the Five Immortals Holy Land to put something there, he could even catch a demon immortal as a pet.
But it's obvious that Gu Cheng doesn't have such a level of cultivation, so forcefully trying will definitely not work.
Although Ye Fashan left Gu Cheng a demonic magical power that he should use to trade with the Five Immortals lineage, but if Gu Cheng took it out rashly, he estimated that the other party would most likely swallow up his magical power.
Before coming to Liaodong, Gu Cheng also inquired about the current situation in Liaodong. One of the things the Five Immortals lineage could use was that there was actually no harmony among the Five Immortal lineages.
Fox Yellow, White Willow Ash, Five Immortal Lineages Although there are five families, they are actually divided into three sects.
The fox willow is one group, and the yellow gray is another group.
The attributes of the Liu Family Snake Fairy and the Gray House Mouse Fairy are incompatible, so the two sides are naturally hostile.
The fox fairy and the yellow fairy have similar attributes and are both good at some illusions and magic, so they have conflicts in competing for believers.
In the end, the Bai family was weak and had no desires, so they always remained neutral.
The lineage of the Five Immortals has been hegemonic in Liaodong for too long. It has been so long that Daqian was established. The lineage of the Five Immortals was running the land of Liaodong for thousands of years before the Ten Kingdoms fought for hegemony.
It is impossible to expect them to be without any friction and competition for such a long time. Without the invasion of foreign enemies, what else can they do without fighting among themselves?
Human beings cannot avoid this situation, let alone these monsters who are inherently violent.
Even though the Five Immortals lineage claims to be immortals, to put it bluntly, they are still just a bunch of monsters.
While thinking about the countermeasures after heading to Liaodong, Gu Cheng and his party finally arrived at Jingtian City, the core city of Liaodong County, after three months of traveling.
Liaodong County has a vast territory, four distinct seasons, and two core areas.
One is Qingqiu Mansion, which leads to the Central Plains. The business is the most developed, and most merchants are stationed in Qingqiu Mansion.
Another one is Jingtian City, which is located in the center of Liaodong County. It is at the core of the entire Liaodong land and is close to the mountains of Liaodong. It is also the core area of the Wujiaxian lineage.
Therefore, Jingyesi of Liaodong County was stationed here. Of course, in Gu Cheng's opinion, this was a bit unwise.
Although Jingtian City is the core of Liaodong, the Wujiaxian lineage has been operating here for thousands of years. There are halls everywhere and incense altars in every house. Even if Daqian is popular, why would he want to compete with the Wujiaxian lineage here? ?Unless Ye Wuzhao is permanently stationed here.
Therefore, if the Daqian court was smarter, it should choose to find a more remote state capital in Liaodong to start development and slowly eat away at some of its power.
But perhaps because Da Qian couldn't let go of his face, didn't want to show weakness, and didn't want to invest too much power in Liaodong to compete with the Wujiaxian lineage, he simply broke the pot and established the Jingyesi branch directly in Jingtian City.
When Gu Cheng and others entered Jingtian City, the passers-by looked at Gu Cheng and others with strange eyes.
The land of Liaodong is peaceful, and Daqian's presence here is extremely low.
So what does it mean for people from the imperial court to appear here on such a large scale? Are they trying to annihilate someone?
The people in the arena were whispering to each other, and some were sneaking around, obviously planning to spread the news about Gu Cheng and others' arrival.
Gu Cheng didn't care. This was the case in Liaodong. They were outsiders here and it was normal for them to be noticed.
When they arrived at the gate of Jingyesi, an old man with gray hair and wearing the Xuanjia of the Sovereign Envoy and about a hundred Xuanjia guards were already waiting for Gu Cheng at the door.
"My subordinate Zhao Bei'an has met your Excellency."
The old man respected Gu Cheng's attitude and even felt a little excited when he saw Gu Cheng coming.
When most of the governors of Jingyesi face their successors, unless they themselves are promoted, they usually don't like it when they see someone taking their place.
But Zhao Bei'an was very excited at this time. He didn't want to stay in this fucking position for a long time. For this reason, he even reported to Jingyesi headquarters every year and asked to return to the capital for retirement. Until today, he was finally able to step down and return to the capital. It’s Beijing.
Gu Cheng, the old town governor in front of him, had also inquired about it in the capital. He was indeed a bit pitiful.
People like Zhao Beian are actually the true portrayal of most of Jingyesi Xuanjiawei.
The young man joined the army, achieved military exploits and obtained the training skills to join the Jingyesi Division. However, because he started training too late and his own talent was not very good, his cultivation level can only be said to be just average.
After working hard in Jingyesi for a lifetime, from youth to middle age and then to old age, he relied on his accumulated merits to obtain elixirs and the qualifications to be mentored by strong men in Jingyesi, and finally reluctantly entered the realm of master, and then served as a supervisor. After staying in the position for more than ten years, I finally got the position of governor of Liaodong Province, but it turned out to be the miserable governor of Liaodong Province.
Zhao Beian can be said to be a mediocre person. Although he is not outstanding, he does not neglect his duties. He works conscientiously and tries his best to achieve his limit.
But it's a pity that his strength and ability are all here, plus the situation in Liaodong, Zhao Bei'an can only become a memorial arch here, no matter how hard he works, it will be useless.
Seeing that all the old man's enthusiasm has been exhausted, how can he not be excited now that he can finally leave this hellish place?
Gu Cheng dismounted and helped Zhao Bei'an up, saying, "Master Zhao, if you don't mind calling me by my name, that's fine.
In terms of age and qualifications, you are my senior."
Zhao Beian sighed and said: "I have heard about Master Gu's achievements over the years.
He went undercover alone to rehabilitate the rebels of the Southern Barbarians, banned the evil gods in Jiangnan County, wiped out the leftist forces in the southwest, suppressed the rebellion of the evil cults in Western Xinjiang, and rescued Governor Ye Wuzhao.
Any one of these achievements can last a lifetime. Mr. Gu, you have so many achievements, which only serve to highlight the incompetence of the old man over the years.
I, Jingyesi, do not look at seniority, but based on Mr. Gu’s achievements, I am afraid that no one in my generation, Jingyesi, can match him.”
Speaking of this, Zhao Bei'an hesitated and said: "Master Gu, there is actually something that an old man should not say.
But Mr. Gu, you are still young. Jingyesi's future is yours, but I really don't want you to fall into the quagmire of Liaodong.
With your merits, Mr. Gu, you are more than enough to serve as the governor, but your qualifications are still a little behind.
Mr. Gu, if you can endure your loneliness, wouldn't it be better to stay in the position of supervisor for a period of time and become the governor of a normal county? Why bother to come to Liaodong to wade into the muddy waters?"
Gu Cheng smiled and said: "People can't help themselves in the world, and it's the same in the court. There are some things that I can't choose.
Mr. Zhao, let’s go in and talk, you also need to explain the matters in Liaodong to me.”
Zhao Beian is actually a kind person.
Perhaps he cherished his talent and couldn't bear to see Gu Cheng, a young man with such a promising future, wasting his time in Liaodong, so he tried his best to comfort Gu Cheng and said some taboo words.
After entering Jingyesi of Liaodong County, Gu Cheng asked: "Master Zhao, there are only more than a hundred people in Jingyesi of Liaodong County?"
Zhao Beian smiled bitterly and said: "There are only so many people, and on average there are less than five Xuanjia guards in a state capital.
Moreover, these people were all brought from our capital city, and some will be transferred from various places in the future.
There are only three Xuanjia Guards who are truly from Liaodong.
Every family in Liaodong worships the Five Immortals, and every state capital has a hall, so why would anyone come to join me in Jingyesi and be looked down upon by others?"
Gu Cheng smiled half-heartedly and said, "I never thought that one day I, Jingyesi, would be the one who gets the looks of others."
Zhao Beian smiled bitterly, and just as he was about to say something, there was a noise outside.
A middle-aged man dressed as a wealthy businessman came in shouting, and said loudly and aggrievedly: "Master Zhao, you are not going to take care of the affairs of my Li family? You have gone to the capital to enjoy your life, what will happen to my Li family?"
When you first came to Jingtian City to establish yourself, others avoided you, but my Li family provided money and effort to help you establish a solid foundation here.
