Qiu Erniang came and left suddenly. Even her name Qiu Erniang may be fake. It should be said that it is 100% fake.
However, the choice left to Gu Cheng now is very small. This is probably the only one, so he can only choose to go on.
Gu Cheng let out a sigh of relief and didn't complain.
In this arena, in this world, everything depends on strength.
Without strength, you can only be a pawn and follow the path arranged by others. There is nothing to complain about.
He has understood this since Gu Cheng's pursuit of power, so why is he fighting all the way?
To put it more lofty, it is because I want to be able to control my own destiny, but to put it more realistically, I want to transform myself from a chess piece to a person who plays chess.
Gu Cheng stayed up all night, looking at the information Qiu Erniang gave him.
After forcibly memorizing all the information, Gu Cheng lit up a fire and burned it all.
Early the next morning, soldiers under Fang Zhenhai's command came to inform him to come over to discuss matters.
It was still the same meeting hall, but this time there was an extra chair for Gu Cheng, although it was only the outermost one.
There were more than a dozen people in the entire hall, all of whom were Fang Zhenhai's confidants, as well as those in charge of various major departments, such as logistics, finance, etc.
Because there are no official ranks like the imperial court, it looks a bit messy.
But in fact, among these more than ten people, there are only eight people who are really considered to be high-ranking people under Fang Zhenhai and who are truly his confidants. They are known as the Eight Great Vajras. There are detailed records in the information Qiu Erniang gave him.
These eight diamonds are:
The boss, Gao Jiande, is in his fifties, has a square appearance and a calm temperament. He sits in the first position under Fang Zhenhai.
It is said that Gao Jiande was even Fang Zhenhai's sworn brother. The relationship between the two parties is extremely close. He is also the second most powerful person in the entire group after Fang Zhenhai. His strength has also reached Guanshan, the fifth level of martial arts, and he is able to dominate one party.
The strong master.
The second elder, Yunhai Zhenren, is an old Taoist priest wearing a cloud-patterned Taoist robe. He looks like an immortal Taoist. He is what Qiu Erniang said before.
Gang's peak strength.
No one knows why Master Yunhai, an orthodox Qi Refiner, wanted to join Fang Zhenhai, but he is extremely powerful and is a rare orthodox Qi Refiner. He provides all the high-level elixirs and formations for Fang Zhenhai.
, so this person is somewhat aloof under Fang Zhenhai, and even Fang Zhenhai respects him.
The third child, Huang Laojiao, looks like an old fisherman, very inconspicuous, but before he took refuge with Fang Zhenhai, he was the bandit leader on the Qulan River in Nanjiu County, and he was also a person who gave orders. Although he was a low-ranking figure
He was born in China, but he possesses the secret skills of waterway. He is ready for both long-range and close combat, and he is not inferior to the sixth-grade peak warrior.
He brought tens of thousands of water bandits to join Fang Zhenhai's command, so he was immediately ranked third. His subordinates had a scale of their own, and Fang Zhenhai's water battles mainly relied on him.
The fourth child, the Laughing King Kong, has a fat figure and always has a greasy smile on his face.
This person is a well-known lewd monk in Nanjiu County. He has been wanted by Jingyesi of Nanjiu County for many years but has not been able to catch him. Although his realm is in the middle of the sixth level, he has some unique left-right secret techniques.
But it is extremely difficult to deal with, comparable to the late Sixth Grade.
Lao Wu Ankang Hu is a majestic man wearing a battle armor, with a red-blooded mace as tall as a person standing behind him.
This person is the master of bandits in Nanjiu County. He has been following him since he was defeated by Fang Zhenhai. His strength is at the late sixth level, but he is good at fighting in battle formations and is definitely a warrior. Therefore, he is an elite vanguard under Fang Zhenhai.
The army is under his control.
Taoist Laoliu Mengshan is the middle-aged Taoist priest who previously used the secret technique of pulling souls from thousands of miles away. He is not an orthodox Taoist, but a small branch of the Taoist sect. He specializes in soul skills. It is said that he was coerced and accidentally joined Fang Zhenhai's command.
Practitioners like him who come from a branch of Taoism are not recognized by orthodox Taoism. They are no different from heretics and their lives are not very good.
So after Fang Zhenhai promised various training conditions, he simply stayed under Fang Zhenhai's command. His strength was comparable to that of the mid-sixth grade, but the secret skills of the soul path had some very strange uses, and he could not use combat power.
to measure.
Lao Qilan Caidi is a woman in her thirties, with the kind of hot beauty that only belongs to Miao women. She is from a small Miao tribe. Because her family was exterminated, she lived in the world.
Joining Fang Zhenhai's command, her Miao secret skills and Gu skills are enough for her to compete with the early or mid-level sixth-grade warriors.
The old Balian Sword Master is a young man in his early thirties with a somewhat lunar temperament. He is a sword cultivator in the early stage of the sixth grade.
He was able to become one of the Eight Great Vajras not because of Fang Zhenhai, but because of Gao Jiande.
Gao Jiande was his savior, so he always followed Gao Jiande's lead. Fang Zhenhai gave Gao Jiande a face, and because of his good strength, he became one of the Eight Great Vajras.
Fang Zhenhai looked at the people below. When he saw that everyone had arrived, he coughed and said, "Okay, let's start today's discussion."
Now the insurgent army under Fang Zhenhai has just captured Guangling City, but the entire Nanyi County has not yet been completely controlled. Some state capitals are still resisting, but those are not important anymore. How to control Nanyi County is a big problem
, so Fang Zhenhai’s subordinates discuss matters almost every day, just discussing these messy things.
Because the main force under his command was the army, and there was no one capable of running a county, some seemingly insignificant matters under Fang Zhenhai's command gave him quite a headache.
As for the previous officials in Guangling City, almost all of them were killed by Fang Zhenhai.
In his opinion, those who are officials can best represent the identity of the imperial court. If he doesn't kill them, who will he kill?
So he didn't care whether the local officials surrendered or were stubborn, and he just gave the order to kill them all.
At this time, he also felt a little regretful. Although he quickly stopped and recruited a group of people, the biggest official was the prefect, and his limited skills were not enough.
After discussing several issues, Master Yunhai, the second among the Eight Great Vajras, said in a deep voice: "King of Heaven, someone from the Siji Sect came to urge us to fulfill our promise as soon as possible.
These things are the promises we made before we attacked Guangling City. If we default on our promises at this time, not only will the Siji Sect be offended to death, but it will even affect your reputation as the King of Heaven."
Hearing this matter, Gu Cheng suddenly raised his head. He knew that this matter was recorded in the information Qiu Erniang gave him.
The Siji Sect is one of the top sects in Nanyi County. It is very powerful, and its sect leader is even a fifth-level master-level expert in Guanshan.
Because the Siji Sect was outside Guangling City, Fang Zhenhai had already met the masters of the Siji Sect before attacking the city, and even had a discussion. Needless to say, Fang Zhenhai won.
This Luanwu Heavenly King practices demon magic in his own body. He himself has the cultivation of the peak of the fifth grade Guanshan. In addition, with the dual cultivation of human and demon, he is almost invincible at the same level.
Therefore, the leader of the Siji Sect chose to stand in line, allowing the disciples of the Siji Sect in the city to act as internal agents, but Fang Zhenhai also had to ensure that after occupying Nanyi County, he would give the other side great benefits.
Because Fang Zhenhai urgently needed to attack the city, he promised a lot of benefits without even thinking about it. Not to mention those messy things, the most important one was to give the other party the right to manage the entire Nanyi County Jianghu.
Fang Zhenhai, on the other hand, is not allowed to interfere in Jianghu affairs.
But now Fang Zhenhai feels a little regretful. With so many power and benefits in the entire Nanyi County situation, how could he not intervene?
But by regretting it now, Fang Zhenhai couldn't bear the loss of reputation.
He had already become a rebel, and it was only through the strength of Jiang Hu Cao Mang that he was able to persist until today.
In the end, he didn't keep his word, and the promises he made were like farts. Who will cooperate with him in the future?
So this matter also gave Fang Zhenhai a headache, and it has been delayed for several days.
Fang Zhenhai rubbed his head: "If it doesn't work, just delay it for now. Apart from urging, they don't dare to do anything extraordinary.
You should also think about this matter carefully. Instead of just killing people every day, can you do something serious?"
Everyone present watched with their eyes and noses, and their noses and hearts, without saying a word.
The eight kings under Fang Zhenhai are best at fighting and killing people. Even if they don't kill people, they won't get involved in such a bad thing.
Right now, their relationship with the Siji Sect is very sensitive. If something goes wrong, who will be responsible if something goes wrong?
At this time, Gu Cheng suddenly stood up and said: "If the King of Heaven does not dislike it, I will be willing to share the worries of the King of Heaven with this matter."
If Gu Cheng wants to truly develop under Fang Zhenhai, then he must keep a low profile and develop steadily under the command of Fang Zhenhai's confidants and the Eight King Kongs.
But he was acting as a lurker and an undercover agent. He was not even qualified to be a chess piece until he reached a certain status. Therefore, he had to be high-profile and quickly improve his status in Fang Zhenhai's mind. There was no need to worry about other people.
people's attitude.
Everyone present also glanced at Gu Cheng, with different expressions in their eyes, ranging from disdain to ridicule.
They are all sitting here based on their own strength and abilities, and only this kid is qualified to sit here by offering an orb.
They don't dare to get involved in this kind of thing, but now this kid is talking nonsense here and dares to take anything on him. He really doesn't know what to say.
Fang Zhenhai frowned and asked, "How sure are you?"
Gu Chengyi said righteously: "I'm not sure at all!
However, as subordinates, it is natural for us to share the worries and solve problems for the King of Heaven.
If it is because things are difficult or because we are not sure, we just sit back and do nothing, and pass the matter to the King of Heaven, then what use does the King of Heaven have for us, his subordinates?
Therefore, even if my subordinates are not sure, they are still willing to do their best to get things done for the King!"
Everyone present was dumbfounded by these words, and even the "Laughing Vajra" Dharma View, who was known for flattering others, felt ashamed.
This guy is either really loyal to Fang Zhenhai and said these words freely. Or he is so shameless to the extreme that he even deceived himself.
