Although it seems demeaning to spit out fragrance, for Gu Cheng now, this word perfectly explains his current mood.
After the soldier shouted the word "king of heaven", Gu Cheng had already guessed what was going on.
No wonder the soldiers in the city are so undisciplined, they look more like rough grass in the rivers and lakes than like the elite frontier troops of Da Gan.
No wonder the gatekeeper looked at him so strangely.
No wonder there are such weird and deviant people in this general's mansion.
The person sitting in front of me is not Bei Shaojie, the general of Beixuan Army, but Fang Zhenhai, the ‘King of Luanwu’ who started the war in Nanyi County!
The actual situation is similar to Gu Cheng's guess. Fang Zhenhai is sitting here, so there is no need to think too much about where Bei Shaojie went.
Cui Zijie told him before that Bei Shaojie was not in a hurry to use the recruitment order. In fact, he wanted to kill Fang Zhenhai's spirit before Zhao'an, so that he would not mention so many excessive conditions when recruiting him.
As a general of the army, Bei Shaojie still wanted to be shameless. The imperial court sent him to quell the rebellion. He felt that he was not absolutely sure of quelling the rebellion, so he just wanted to recruit peace.
If he didn't send any troops and just asked for recruitment, then the imperial court could just send any civilian official. Why bother to mobilize the Beixuan Army and spend a lot of manpower and material resources?
Therefore, Bei Shaojie wanted to have two symbolic fights to dampen the opponent's spirit before bringing up the matter of recruitment.
Unexpectedly, Bei Shaojie got away with it on his own.
After two tentative battles, he actually defeated the entire Beixuan Army, the entire Nanyi County, and himself, allowing Fang Zhenhai to directly occupy Guangling City and completely control Nanyi County.
This incident happened just three days ago, but there were too many rebellions here in Nanyi County, so Fang Zhenhai occupied Guangling City, and the people were simply used to it.
The troops under Fang Zhenhai's command were basically sloppy, and of course they didn't have the ability to get armor, so they opened the armory when they entered the city and put on Daqian's refined armor. At least in the eyes of outsiders, The current Guangling City is no different from the previous Guangling City controlled by Bei Shaojie.
Gu Cheng was also a little unlucky. If it hadn't been for Wanlin Mansion Jingyesi's group of people who delayed his trip on the way, he could have come here before Bei Shaojie died, but now he bumped into the muzzle of a gun .
Everyone in the meeting hall now focused their attention on Gu Cheng, with a playful look in their eyes.
Fang Zhenhai looked at Gu Cheng with a smile but not a smile: "You are here to deliver something to Bei Shaojie on behalf of the court? Let me guess, what you are delivering is a recruitment order, right?
It's a pity that I don't need that thing anymore. I don't even bother to eat the leftovers given by the imperial court!
Bei Shaojie cannot receive the recruitment order now, but you can send it to him down below.
Come here, drag him out and chop him!"
Seeing that the people outside were about to take action, Gu Cheng suddenly shouted: "King of Heaven, wait!
Although I was sent by Jingyesi to deliver the order, in fact I was planning to come and seek refuge with the King of Heaven!
The King of Heaven killed me indiscriminately, wouldn’t it chill the hearts of those righteous men who were ready to abandon darkness and surrender to the light of day and come to join the King of Heaven?”
Fang Zhenhai waved his hand and said calmly: "You said you came to seek refuge with me? Boy, do you think I am an idiot?"
Gu Cheng's mind was racing, he took a step forward, raised his hands and said in a deep voice: "How dare I deceive the King of Heaven?
Although I am from Jingyesi, I am not from Jingyesi in the capital, but a night watchman under the command of Heyang Prefecture in Donglin County.
Because the warden of the Heyang Prefecture garrison killed my brother Pao Ze, he killed the dog warden in anger and tore off the dog's head, but he also caused a big disaster.
It happened that Jingyesi in the capital sent someone down to deliver the recruitment order, but something unexpected happened in Heyang Mansion. I heard about the righteous deeds of the Heavenly King in Nanyi County, so I took the initiative to take over the task and came to Nanyi County to seek refuge with you, the Heavenly King."
At this point, Gu Cheng made an angry look: "In today's world, the court is unjust and the laws and regulations are unfair!
I have worked hard for the imperial court, and my brother Pao Ze has gone through life and death in order to suppress the demons, ghosts and evil cultivators, but he was killed by his own people. I will not give up if I refuse!
That dog warlord has a very deep background. Even my governor in Donglin County wanted to throw me out to take the blame. I have been forced to a dead end.
Rather than sit back and wait for death, it is better to rise up and revolt!
Therefore, it is a lie that I came here to deliver the recruitment order. In fact, I want to find out the truth about Bei Shaojie, and then bring the information to see the King of Heaven, hoping to help the King of Heaven to take over the entire Nanyi County with my meager strength.
But who would have thought of the divine power of the King of Heaven and had already dealt with Nabei Shaojie before I came."
Everyone present looked at Gu Cheng with strange eyes.
Is this guy telling the truth?
But if what he said is false, how did this guy fabricate all of this in such a short period of time? It's so lifelike that it looks like the real thing.
Fang Zhenhai glanced at Gu Cheng suspiciously and said calmly: "What you said is true, but how can I believe you? Just because of your mouth?"
Gu Cheng said in a deep voice: "Almost everyone in Donglin County knows what I said. Why does Nanyi County have channels to communicate with the outside world? After a little inquiry, the King will know that there is absolutely no lie on my part.
Moreover, after I learned about the righteous deeds of the Heavenly King, I also asked many times about you, the Heavenly King, and I admired you even more.
I learned that the Heavenly King has practiced the Nine Tribulations of the Heavenly Demon. Ordinary elixirs cannot improve your cultivation, so when you came down, you found a demon cave, slaughtered all the monsters in it, and obtained a Red Moon Demon Spirit Pearl to present to the Heavenly King.
, treat it as a meeting gift!”
Upon hearing this, Fang Zhenhai's expression suddenly changed: "Are you serious?"
Gu Cheng directly took out the Red Moon Demon Spirit Bead and handed it over: "King of Heaven, please take a look."
Fang Zhenhai took the Red Moon Demon Spirit Bead and looked at it with a smile on his face.
His Nine Tribulations of Heavenly Demon practice using ordinary human elixirs has limited effect, or even basically no effect. Only this kind of demon spiritual object can improve his cultivation.
For him, this Scarlet Moon Demon Spirit Pearl is enough to increase his cultivation level.
At this time, Fang Zhenhai's eyes towards Gu Cheng had changed somewhat, and he was at least half convinced.
The other party should not be an undercover agent of the imperial court. After all, he captured Guangling City only three days ago. The imperial court was still thinking about recruiting him. How could he send an undercover agent here?
However, Fang Zhenhai did not immediately agree with what Gu Cheng said. He shouted: "Mengshan."
"My subordinate is here."
A middle-aged Taoist stood up and responded.
"I seem to have heard that a junior brother from your lineage is in Donglin County. I used your lineage's secret method of attracting souls from thousands of miles to ask him if this happened."
The Taoist named Meng Shan nodded and said: "No problem, but Donglin County is too far away, and the Wanli Lianhun of this lineage cannot really reach Wanli. It may take some time, please wait a moment.
."
As he said that, Taoist Mengshan sat cross-legged on the ground, squeezed the seal with his hands, and a stream of spiritual energy overflowed.
The most bizarre thing is that there is a transparent shadow floating above his head, as if it is his appearance, flying out like a soul out of the body.
Everyone present was waiting, looking at Gu Cheng with curiosity or with a sneer.
If what this guy said is true, then the contribution of offering the orb is enough for him to occupy a position under Fang Zhenhai.
But if what he said is false, haha, he will definitely regret telling lies.
Fang Zhenhai hated people who lied to him the most. Only when this kid couldn't live or die did he realize that being alive would be worse than being chopped down with a knife.
The entire lobby fell into an eerie silence, but Gu Cheng looked calm and confident.
Because he didn't 'lie', everything he said was true.
Don't make up things that haven't happened. What's fake is always fake and will be exposed sooner or later.
But if it were told in another way about what really happened, the meaning would be completely different.
After about three hours, Taoist Mengshan's 'soul' finally returned to its original place.
He let out a long breath, his face turned slightly pale, as if he had been exhausted.
"King of heaven, what Gu Cheng said is basically correct, it's all true.
My junior brother said that this incident caused a great commotion in Donglin County. The father of the governor was a general of the imperial court, and his mother was an elder of the Xuanwu Zhen Sect, a large sect in Donglin County.
And this Gu Cheng was actually the warlord who forcibly killed under the protection of the Taoist priests of Baiyunguan, he is really a righteous man!"
The Mengshan Taoist seemed to admire Gu Cheng very much, and seemed to appreciate his courage.
When Fang Zhenhai heard this, he immediately stood up, walked to Gu Cheng, took his arm and laughed, "Don't be surprised, little brother, we are in the business of killing officials and rebelling, so naturally we have to be more rigorous in our work.
You are right, today's court is unjust and unjust, follow me and you will not be disappointed."
Turning his head, Fang Zhenhai shouted: "Come here, let's have a banquet! Today we are going to welcome this little brother Gu Cheng who has abandoned Jingyesi for the bright side!"
When a single seventh-level warrior came to seek refuge with Fang Zhenhai, it was enough for him to just take a look and say a few words of encouragement. It was basically impossible to hold a banquet to welcome him.
But Gu Cheng was from Jingyesi. He was forced by the imperial court to "forsake the dark side and join the bright side" to join his army. Publicizing this kind of thing would give him a lot of face.
The most important thing is that Gu Cheng also presented him with the Red Moon Demon Spirit Pearl. This credit alone was enough for Gu Cheng to receive such hospitality.
Of course, this was also done for others to see, letting them know that as long as they took refuge in Fang Zhenhai and offered enough things, they would be worthy of being treated like such a courteous and virtuous corporal.
Gu Cheng let out a sigh of relief and said with a bright smile on his face: "Thank you, King!"
