After Fang Zhenhai's banquet, Gu Cheng was arranged to stay in a wing of the General's Mansion.
The process of the banquet was somewhat difficult to describe, but in Gu Cheng's opinion, it was simply a dance of demons.
Fang Zhenhai rose from the grassroots, and the people under his command were all grassroots masters in the heretical world, with different personalities.
Gu Cheng pretended to be excited and then returned to his house after perfunctory for a while.
Today's incident was an unforeseen disaster for him, and it also disrupted his plan.
Originally, Gu Cheng planned to return to the capital to resume his duties after delivering the recruitment order, but now it seems that he will not be able to go back for a while, and even if he does, he will probably not end well.
Although he only showed his face here in Fang Zhenhai, too many people saw him.
Moreover, as a "positive example" who took the initiative to join Fang Zhenhai, I believe that Fang Zhenhai will definitely publicize it.
It is estimated that Gu Cheng may be on Jingyesi's wanted list in a short time.
After pushing open the door of the inner house, Gu Cheng's expression suddenly changed.
In his inner house, there was someone sitting there.
It was a woman, wearing a tight-fitting black nightgown, showing off her attractive and concave figure.
She wears a strange mask on her face, pure white, but with a black curved arc in the middle, only showing two eyes, without too many decorations.
Gu Cheng, who practiced both martial arts and qi refining, felt that his perception was strong enough, but when he stepped into the house, he didn't even feel that there was anyone in the house.
"The King of Heaven still doesn't believe me, yet he actually sent someone to test me?"
The masked woman chuckled twice: "That guy Fang Zhenhai is not qualified to drive me around, he came here just for you.
Tsk, tsk, you have broken this dangerous situation, which is really unexpected."
Gu Cheng frowned fiercely, and he suddenly felt that the voice sounded familiar.
At this time, the woman took off the mask on her face, revealing a charming face. She turned out to be Qiu Erniang, the proprietress of the Wuming Inn!
Gu Cheng let out a long breath and asked, "Who are you?"
She was able to completely conceal herself from her own senses, and yet she dared to appear in the back house of the General's Mansion in the middle of the night. The identity of this woman was probably beyond his imagination. At least she was definitely not the proprietress of an inn with the property of wind media.
Qiu Erniang said matter-of-factly: "Of course I am Qiu Erniang, don't you already know that?
The focus now is not who I am, but who you want to be.
Today you used your wits to fool Fang Zhenhai. Although you successfully passed the test, have you ever thought that from now on, you will be labeled as a rebel."
Gu Cheng raised his eyebrows: "Are you from the imperial court?"
Then he sneered and said: "It seems that you already know what happened during the day, so you should also know that what I said is not a lie.
I was originally forced out of Donglin County and Jingyesi.
I have never failed the imperial court in the slightest, but this imperial court has failed me!
People like Governor Hong can become military governors of the imperial court, and people like Xie Anzhi can become governors and receive awards from the superiors every year. This imperial court is probably in ruins already!
Now King Fang Tian is complying with God’s will and revolting, so what if it’s a rebellion!?”
Gu Cheng's words were convincing, but in fact he still suspected that the other party was sent by Fang Zhenhai to test him.
Qiu Erniang was stunned for a moment, then she chuckled and said: "You are really suspicious, there is no need to act, I really am not from Fang Zhenhai.
Do you really think that no one else knows about your story? Xiao Can killed Zhou Yuanxiao and had the idea of acquiring the Red Moon Demon Spirit Pearl for a day or two, but in the end, this thing came true for you.
If I really belong to Fang Zhenhai, as long as I tell you all these things, can you still stand here and talk to me?"
Gu Cheng frowned and said in a deep voice, "Are you from Jingyesi?"
Qiu Erniang shook her head and said: "Don't make wild guesses. I am not a member of the imperial court, let alone a member of Jingyesi. To be more precise, my organization cooperates with some big shots in the imperial court, so you put me
You can also be a member of the imperial court.
Gu Cheng, I won't sell you any more. Now that you are under Fang Zhenhai's command, no matter whether you are sincere or not, you have to find a way out for yourself. Fang Zhenhai won't be able to survive for long.
Although the world is in chaos right now, the first ones to jump out are just cannon fodder. Who among the truly powerful ones is not secretly accumulating strength?
Fang Zhenhai came from a rough background and had high vision but low hand. At the beginning, he only wanted to kill people, set fires and be recruited. Unexpectedly, his momentum became stronger and stronger, and it swept the entire Nanyi County. He thought that the court could not deal with him, and he even dared to call himself the King of Heaven.
, a clown, dare to claim the title of king?
Although the imperial court has been somewhat weak in recent years, it has not yet reached the point where the building is about to collapse and the heroes are vying for the throne. The higher the profile of Fang Zhenhai, the faster he will die.
Now that you can break into Fang Zhenhai's service and gain his attention because of the orb, this opportunity is rare.
Cooperate with us and help us move Fang Zhenhai, and we will find a way out for you."
Gu Cheng looked at Qiu Erniang in front of him, but he fell into deep thought.
The other party was not from Fang Zhenhai, Gu Cheng was sure of this, but she said she was from the imperial court, how could she be sure?
"You said you are from the imperial court, what evidence is there?"
Qiu Erniang was stunned for a moment, shook her head and said: "Now that you want evidence, I really can't produce it, but in the end, you will know who we are.
The most important thing is that we can arrange a way out for you, a way out that only we can give you.
If you take refuge with Fang Zhenhai, once your reputation as a rebel spreads to the capital, your family members in the Zhongyong Hou Mansion may be in trouble.
Not to mention that your Zhongyong Houfu is already a low-level nobleman. Even among those wealthy families whose family members serve as important officials of the court, it is taboo for the court to have a member of the clan who collaborates with the enemy.
But as long as I send a message back now, your family will be protected immediately."
Gu Cheng sneered: "Since you know me so well, you should know that my family wants me to die right now."
"But what about your grandma, Mrs. Gu? She is different."
Qiu Erniang said: "Don't underestimate our strength. You killed Governor Hong and offended your immediate boss Xie Anzhi, but now even if you return to Donglin County, we are sure that Xie Anzhi will not dare to touch you.
You have meritorious service in Jingye Division. Although what happened this time was an accident, I can change it to the fact that you actively cooperated with us to lurk next to Fang Zhenhai as an undercover agent. We will reward you based on your merits afterwards. In Jingye Division, you
What status can the company achieve?
If you cooperate with us, you will not suffer any loss."
Gu Cheng pondered for a moment: "According to what you say, I have no choice?"
Qiu Erniang chuckled and said: "Of course, but you are a smart person and I have information about you in my hand.
Whatever you have done since you came to Jingyesi, although some choices are not the safest, they are the most suitable, at least the most suitable for you.
A smart person knows how to choose now. Of course, even if you don't choose, I won't report you. I don't even bother to do things that harm others but don't benefit myself."
Gu Cheng let out a long breath and said, "Then what do I need to do?"
Without thinking too much, Gu Cheng had already made his choice because he had no choice.
Because as Qiu Erniang said, Fang Zhenhai is simply unreliable, and following him in rebellion is indeed a dead end.
Even Fang Zhenhai's actions can't be considered a rebellion at all, but can be regarded as an armed riot.
If you look at the gang of people under Fang Zhenhai's command now, and then look at his arrangements for his subordinates, you will know that although he has a rebellious heart, in fact, he himself is not ready to proclaim himself an emperor and build a country. He just stays on the side of the separatist regime.
, to the point where a local emperor becomes the king and dominates.
Daqian's ship hasn't sunk yet, at least it won't sink because of a single Fang Zhenhai.
Therefore, if he wanted to avoid being implicated before Fang Zhenhai's misfortune, Gu Cheng could only choose to stand on his opposite side. He did not want to be accused of being an inexplicable rebel and wanted by Jing Yesi.
As for the benefits promised by the other party, Gu Cheng didn't know whether they were true or false, so he could only look at them later.
Qiu Erniang said: "Fang Zhenhai dominates Nanyi County and is already very powerful. What you have to do is very simple, that is to push the fire behind his back and make him expand even more. The more high-profile his expansion, the faster he will die.
I won't arrange specific things for you, you can just figure it out yourself. I have other things to arrange, so I won't contact you for the time being.
Moreover, Fang Zhenhai has an orthodox Qi practitioner with considerable strength under his command. I came to meet you today while he was drunk. Frequent contact can easily lead to exposure.
I will let you know when we really want to take action against Fang Zhenhai in the end, and you can just act according to circumstances during this period."
Gu Cheng nodded and said: "Information, I want some information about Fang Zhenhai and his subordinates. You should have these."
Qiu Erniang took out a booklet and handed it to Gu Cheng: "Everything we can investigate is here, and we will burn it after reading it.
I won’t say much more, you just have to act according to the circumstances here in Fang Zhenhai.”
After saying that, Qiu Erniang was about to leave.
Gu Cheng suddenly said at this time: "By the way, what is the name of your organization? Even if I can't say the name of the big shot behind you, I still want to know who I am working for."
A strange smile appeared on Qiu Erniang's face: "The name of the organization? We seem to have several names. Let me name my favorite. My organization was originally called: Gang of Heroes."
"A hero?"
Qiu Erniang shook her head and said: "No, it means three gangs of heroes.
It is too difficult for a person to accomplish something big in this world. If you help others, you are also helping yourself.
Just like you are now, you are doing things for us, but you are also doing things for yourself."
After finishing speaking, Qiu Erniang made a strange seal in her hand, and her whole body seemed to have turned into ink, blending into the boundless night, and her body disappeared.
