After Gu Cheng killed Xiao Can, the mentality of the other Jingyesi practitioners had completely collapsed.
Even if Xiao Can was injured, he was a master of the sixth-level bone forging realm, and the sick tiger was also a tiger. How could he be killed head-on by a seventh-level guy?
But the facts were before their eyes. With Xiao Can's death, the fighting spirit in their hearts was gone, but their defeat became faster.
Chen Danggui didn't even untie the weird seal on his arm, so she teamed up with Kou An to solve the problem.
"Wait, stay alive!"
Although Chen Danggui looked like a harmless person with a smile on his face, his attacks were ruthless, and his swords were aimed at the vital points.
After hearing Gu Cheng's words, Chen Danggui sheathed her sword. The last person left was Lin Xueran.
Gu Cheng walked over with a half-smile but said, "Tsk, tsk, it seems that what I said in the inn was right, you are indeed not a kind girl.
No matter what, I saved you, but in the end you tried to harm me.
The most poisonous woman's heart is so vicious."
Lin Xueran knelt on the ground, pretending to be a pear blossom and crying: "I was also forced, please spare my life, Mr. Gu, I know I was wrong!"
The word "sex" is like a knife on the head, and the woman herself is a weapon.
Lin Xueran's appearance is not bad, but when she looks like this, she really has a temperament that makes me feel pity for her.
Gu Cheng smiled and said: "Want to live? It's very simple. Tell me what is going on, who are you, and who is Zhou Yuanxiao."
Lin Xueran hesitated and said: "Are you serious about not killing me?"
Gu Cheng nodded solemnly: "My name is Gu Cheng, a man of integrity. My parents gave me this name to make me keep my word. Do you think I will be sorry for my name?"
If you say I won’t kill you, I won’t kill you.”
Seeing Gu Cheng's statement, Lin Xueran said: "We are really from Jingyesi of Wanlin Mansion, but Xiao Can is not the commander-in-chief, but the deputy commander-in-chief. Our real commander-in-chief is Zhou Yuanxiao.
There was a rebellion in Nanyi County before, and Fang Zhenhai, the 'King of Chaos', almost pushed his army to the outskirts of Guangning County. Our Jingyesi Division of Wanlin Prefecture was also affected, losing one-third of our hundreds of people.
Xiao Can proposed to evacuate, but Zhou Yuanxiao was loyal to the court and insisted on staying here, and even prepared to sneak into Nanyi County to find out the news.
Of course Xiao Can would not agree to such a dangerous matter, so Zhou Yuanxiao had a big quarrel with Xiao Can, scolding Xiao Can for being greedy for life and fearing death, not worthy of wearing Jingyesi's black armor, and even reported to revoke Xiao Can's position as deputy commander.
Although Zhou Yuanxiao is a stubborn person, he is a senior commander in Jingyesi of Nanjiu County and has connections with several governors. Once he reports bad things about Xiao Can, his future in Jingyesi will be completely ruined.
Already.
So Xiao Can simply kept doing nothing, contacted his confidants, killed Zhou Yuanxiao in a sneak attack, and killed other Jingyesi people, preparing to join Fang Zhenhai."
Speaking of this, Lin Xueran said quickly: "Although I am Xiao Can's confidant, I actually don't want him to do such a cruel thing. I also advised him not to kill the commander-in-chief. We can escape secretly, but he
I hate the commander-in-chief deeply, and I have to kill him to relieve my hatred."
Gu Cheng said calmly: "What's more, let's continue, what are you using to seize the Yellow Stone Old Demon's secret treasure?"
Lin Xueran said: "We used to be Jingyesi's Xuanjia Guards, and if we rashly defect to Fang Zhenhai, the other party may not trust us.
Moreover, Xiao Can was the deputy commander before and could be regarded as a guarding figure. He was not willing to be a minion under Fang Zhenhai.
It is known to everyone that Fang Zhenhai used his own body to practice the secret method of the demon clan "Nine Tribulations of the Heavenly Demon". The Scarlet Moon Demon Spirit Pearl of Old Demon Huangshi was of great help to Fang Zhenhai's skills, so Xiao Can prepared to seize it and do it.
In order to obtain a certificate of fame and gain a place under Fang Zhenhai's command."
"That's all?"
Lin Xueran said quickly: "There are really only so many!"
Gu Cheng nodded with satisfaction and said to Chen Angelica, "I'll leave her to you."
Chen Danggui smiled gently, but his hand was already on his bloody sword.
Lin Xueran screamed: "Gu Cheng! You lied to me! You said you wouldn't kill me!"
Gu Cheng said calmly: "Who lied to you? I will not kill you, but I have learned from past mistakes. If someone kills you, I will not save you again.
You almost got someone trapped there, one life for another, and now they want to take revenge, I can't stop them, right?"
Lin Xueran screamed and cursed angrily, but Chen Angelica over there had already been chopped off with one knife, and he died instantly.
"Tsk, tsk, that's cruel enough."
Chen Danggui said calmly: "If I were not ruthless, I would have died eight times ago. But I am just ruthless. Brother Gu, you went even further. You even lied to others before you died."
Gu Cheng shook his head and said, "I didn't lie to her, it was just her misunderstanding.
Don't be stunned, go look for it and see if there is anything good."
Gu Cheng and the other three searched the entire Wanlin Mansion Jingyesi, but when the search was over, even Chen Danggui, who had always been smiling, turned dark.
Except for some commonly used elixirs and other things that Xiao Can and others carry, the entire Wanlin Mansion Jingyesi's treasure house is empty!
Thinking of what Lin Xueran had said before, they immediately understood that Fang Zhenhai's soldiers had already looted this place when they forced Guangning County last time.
Before, they felt that they were a bit harsh, but now they feel that they were a bit too gentle.
These bastards actually played a trick from the beginning. Not only did they deceive them, but even the things promised to them were fake.
After everyone discussed it, everyone decided to take one directly.
Xiao Can was killed by Gu Cheng, so the Red Moon Demon Spirit Pearl naturally belonged to Gu Cheng, and given his strength, he was the only one qualified to take it.
Some scattered things from other Xuanjia Guards were divided between Chen Danggui and Kou Andu.
Gu Cheng asked: "Where are you two going next?"
Kou Andu scratched his head and said: "Nanyi County is too chaotic here. There are not many caravans coming and we can't rob anything. I'm going to Guangning County to have a look."
Chen Danggui raised his arm and said: "I am also going to Guangning County. My arm needs to be suppressed with medicine every once in a while. There is a relatively large medicinal material trading market in Nanjiu County. I will go there to have a try.
I'll try my luck and see if I can find all the elixir I want.
This is what Jingyesi's people promised me before, saying that they have all the elixirs I want, but unexpectedly, I was deceived."
Gu Chenggong cupped his hands and said, "If that's the case, let's just say goodbye and see you again if we are destined."
After saying goodbye to several people present, Gu Cheng directly lit a fire in Jingyesi of Wanlin Mansion and burned everything.
Although this incident has nothing to do with Gu Cheng and is entirely an internal fight between Wanlin Mansion and Jingyesi, he is involved in it after all. If someone comes to investigate later and finds some clues about him, such a
Things are also difficult to explain.
It would be better to have a fire and burn everything down.
From Jingyesi of Wanlin Prefecture to Nanyi County, Gu Cheng rode fast for seven days before entering the territory of Nanyi County.
Everywhere they passed, there were traces of battles. The wilderness was almost desolate, and the villages had long been deserted. It was not known whether they entered the county seat to avoid the military disaster, or whether they died in the military disaster.
Even in those large state capitals, broken walls left behind by sieges can be seen on the outer walls.
Gu Cheng had no intention of staying in Nanyi County longer. After the mission, he could directly return to the capital to resume his duties, so he went straight to Guangling City, the most central city in Nanyi County.
The Sheriff's Mansion and the headquarters of Jingyesi in Nanyi County are both in Guangling City. Bei Shaojie, the general of the Beixuan Army, went to Nanyi County to quell the rebellion. The temporary general's mansion was also stationed in Guangling City.
After entering the city, Gu Cheng couldn't help but frown. There were too many soldiers in the city. They were patrolling the streets. They had a strong killing aura and a bit of recklessness. There were not many orders and prohibitions.
It seemed that the military discipline of Beixuan Army, the elite frontier army of the imperial court, was worse than he imagined.
After finding a random person to find out the location of the General's Mansion, Gu Cheng deliberately put on Jingyesi's black armor again, and then arrived in front of the General's Mansion.
Gu Cheng dismounted and said to the soldiers guarding the gate: "Please tell me, please, that the Jingyesi Division in the capital has a secret message for General Bei Shaojie."
The two soldiers guarding the gate had strange expressions on their faces, as if they had seen something unbelievable.
"Are you from Jingyesi? Are you going to give these things to Bei Shaojie?"
Gu Cheng nodded and frowned slightly, what's wrong with these two people?
After staring at Gu Cheng carefully for several times, one of the soldiers said with a strange expression: "Come in with me."
Gu Cheng followed the soldier into the general's mansion, and there was a faint sound of discussion in the lobby.
In the center of the meeting hall sat a strong man in his early forties, with a sturdy back and a muscular face. He was wearing a black unicorn armor, but the aura exuding from his body was extremely cold.
There is a row of warriors sitting on both sides, about ten people. They are men and women, old and young. They are dressed in different styles. Some are wearing battle armor, some are wearing scribes' robes, and one woman is actually wearing Miao Miao.
Colorful skirt with Xinjiang characteristics.
Gu Cheng vaguely felt something was wrong. At this time, the soldier who brought him in saluted the strong man in the center and said:
"The King of Heaven, he claims to be the Xuanjia Guard from the capital, and wants to send a secret letter to Bei Shaojie."
Upon hearing this title, Gu Cheng's head buzzed instantly, and only one word came to mind:
