Gu Cheng actually rarely uses the killing machine, and once he really does the killing machine, there will be few people who can survive from his subordinates.Lu Hongyuan can be regarded as not shedding tears when he sees the coffin, and he has to provoke Gu Cheng's bottom line.The power of blood completely suppressed Lu Hongyuan, and the Yin and Yang Five Elements Escape Technique cultivated by the other party also belonged to the Qi refining vein, he didn't seem to expect Gu Cheng to dare to make a move in front of Murong Hou, so he didn't have time to defend at all, and was suppressed by Gu Cheng after getting close.At this moment, Murong Hou slapped the table, and the wine in his wine glass suddenly rose into the air, drawing a charm with wine, which seemed to be a 'solution' word.In an instant, the surrounding vitality began to overflow to both sides, pulling Gu Cheng and Lu Hongyuan's figures at the same time with extremely strong force.Gu Cheng snorted lightly, under this force, he had to let go of Lu Hongyuan, his hand pinched the seal, the Xuanyin Flying Thunder bloomed, and the black thunder exploded, completely dissolving that power.Murong Hou is also a dual cultivator of martial arts qi refining, and the inheritance he has obtained above qi refining is not the current inheritance, but the inheritance of an ancient qi refiner, which is very miraculous.Murong Hou waved his hand to calm the scattered aura in front of him, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he said lightly: "Actually, I don't like to use hands, and I don't like to use violence to solve problems.Gu Cheng, I know your identity, Nanling County is not a place for you to stay for a long time, even if the imperial court is short of people, it will not let any county be guarded by a grandmaster-level existence for a long time.Without the existence of the grandmaster level, you can't stop what we want to do, please come here today, we are also giving the face of the imperial court.You are a smart person who knows what is worth doing and what is not.You don't want to put face in front of you, why do you have to hit a stone with an egg?
”Gu Cheng stared at Murong Hou and said lightly: "This is Nanyi County, not your Leping County, see if I can stop it!"
”Murong Hou also stared at Gu Cheng, and finally shook his head lightly and said, "I was wrong, you are not a smart person, but a conceited person.Maybe it was to bring down Fang Zhenhai, which really made you think that you had the power to compete with a grandmaster-level existence?
There is only one chance, get off the boat, don't blame me for not giving face to the court, and in the end, it is you who may leave Nanzhi County in disgrace. ”"We'll see."
Gu Cheng waved his hand and turned away directly, and the younger generation of martial artists in Leping County around him saw Gu Cheng's attitude so arrogant, and just wanted to say something, but they were stopped by Murong Hou with a wave of his hand.It's not interesting to talk so fast.Wang Yuan looked left and right, and finally chose to get off the boat with Gu Cheng.Although the Wang family will not stand on Gu Cheng's side, they will not stand on the side of Murong Hou and others, and the two sides are not a family at all.Returning to Huang Laojiao's boat, Wang Yuan sighed and said: "Actually, Brother Gu, it's nothing if you let this step go, and people like Murong Hou will not give up until they reach their goal."
You have brought down Fang Zhenhai, you can wait for the people above to come, and you will retire after your success, there is no need to have a hard top with him, you should sell him a face. ”Gu Cheng looked at Wang Yuan: "Do you think he gave me face?"
No, that's charity, and I, Gu Cheng, never need anyone's charity. ”Murong Hou said that Gu Cheng was conceited, but in fact, it was Murong Hou who was the most conceited.Looking at the appearance of the other party, he knew that Nanling County and his party were not an obstacle to him at all, it was like a tour of the mountains and rivers.So he knew what Gu Cheng was doing now, but he also wanted to meddle in it, and he didn't think about Gu Cheng's interests at all.For him, he called Gu Cheng to the banquet and informed Gu Cheng that he had already done his duty, and he had already given him 'face', in fact, what was this?
Don't let him be too embarrassed by the handouts.Gu Cheng is not a conceited person, but it is impossible for him to accept this kind of charity.He walked on thin ice under Fang Zhenhai for several months, and only then did he finally cooperate with the imperial court and the Heaven Fighting Alliance to bring down Fang Zhenhai.It can be said that although the position given to him by Qiu Erniang is a little troublesome, it can be regarded as a reward.During this time, Gu Cheng was covering the sky on behalf of the imperial court in Nanzhi County, without a boss, no one would care about him, he could seek benefits for himself at will, anyway, there were big people in the Heaven Fighting Alliance to come and finish.As a result, with a word from Murong Hou, he wanted to let himself give up these and endure these as a shrinking turtle, but his Murong Hou's face was not yet so big.Wang Yuan shook his head, obviously he still couldn't understand Gu Cheng's approach.However, at this time, Gu Cheng had some understanding of why the Wang family had gradually weakened over the years.Although it is true to seek stability wholeheartedly, as a cultivator, you are fighting for your life with the sky, and you can't lose this sharp spirit in your heart.Endure and endure, how long can you endure?
Where can you retreat?
It's easy to tolerate regression, but it's hard to go further.On the road of cultivation, it is better to think about progress than to stop thinking about it.This is true of spiritual practice, and the same is true of being a person and doing things.When Gu Cheng had just crossed over, he actually had the easiest way to save his life.Then grovel to his second mother, pretend to be crazy and stupid, take the initiative to give up the title, and even make trouble all over the city, in the end, the second mother not only won't kill him, but even protect him.If something happens to him, wouldn't everyone scold her for being vicious, and taking the title of the eldest brother's family would not cost her life?
Gu Cheng could choose to do this, but he didn't.It should be his own, he can take the initiative to give it to others, but others can't come and grab it!
Wang Yuan didn't quite approve of Gu Cheng's approach, so after following the boat back to Guangling City, he went straight back to Wang's house.Gu Cheng found a Mengshan Daoist and asked, "Do you have any reliable and familiar people in Nanzhi County?"
It doesn't require strength, just the kind of person who is shrewd and awake and familiar with the news of all parties.Let them spy on Murong Hou and them in secret, step by step, what they have done, they can't miss it. ”Mengshan Daoist nodded and said, "This is no problem, just leave it to me." ”Although Mengshan Daoren is not from those ninth-rate Jianghu people, he has been fighting in Nanzhi County all the year round, and he is much stronger than Gu Cheng for things like connections.In fact, Gu Cheng could also go to the Wang family and the Four Extremes Sect to find someone, but when he saw the attitude of the Wang family and the Four Extremes Sect, he knew that the two of them would not mix this kind of thing.Similarly, Gu Cheng could also choose to provoke the Wang family and Murong Hou secretly, but after seeing Murong Hou, Gu Cheng gave up.Although Murong Hou is conceited, he is a very sober person, he knows what he should do when and when, and it is too difficult for Gu Cheng to provoke his mood.This time, since Murong Hou thought that he couldn't stop him, then everyone would fight a few moves, but let's see who can stop whom!
With static braking, Gu Cheng has been staying in Guangling City safely during this time, as if nothing had happened, sitting firmly in Diaoyutai.And the news from the Mengshan Dao people kept coming."
Murong Hou and the others separately collected the bandits, and those bandits in the mountains and forests on the border of Nanling County who were unwilling to submit to Fang Zhenhai were collected by him.One of the cottages was not satisfied, and also made disrespectful remarks to the Murong family, but was beheaded by Murong Hou with a move, and the remaining two percent also chose to surrender under fear, and only one percent chose to leave Nanzhi County and go to the outside world to beg for a living. ”"The rest of the young disciples of those forces in Leping County went to those small sects in Nanping County one by one, using both soft and hard methods, and persuaded the other party to sell the elixir to them at the purchase price, buy it first, and pay later.Because all the bandits on the road were under their control, the trade route was unimpeded.Those small sects have already torn up their previous agreements with us in order to seek comfort, and we are afraid that we will not be able to collect a few dollars in taxes next month. ”"Murong Hou established the Leping Chamber of Commerce, completely opening up the trade route between Nanzhi County and Leping County, and there are also people from the Murong family in Leping County who are responsible for responding.Lu Hongyuan and everyone else joined the Leping Chamber of Commerce and voluntarily paid a certain amount of income to Murong Hou. ”After Lan Caidie heard what Mengshan Daoist said, she couldn't help but wonder: "Doesn't this mean that Murong Hou is a white wolf with empty gloves?"
The forces under his command are all those bandits and bandits, and even the silver that buys those elixirs is on credit, and they will only give those sects money when they are sold.In the end, he didn't contribute a penny, and he didn't even contribute much strength, so he earned so much difference for nothing?
And the disciples of those forces in other Leping County joined the Leping Chamber of Commerce, and their profits had to be handed over to that Murong Hou, so they were willing to be exploited by it?
”Gu Cheng squinted his eyes and said, "Murong Hou is good at borrowing strength, and he is used to taking advantage of the situation, and this time is the same.With the prestige of the many forces in Leping County, plus his own strength and some promises, he subdued those bandits and bandits.Then use these bandits and bandits as the basis of strength, and let those sects promise them to take the elixir first and then give money.After such calculations, they themselves can be said to have established an unimpeded trade route without the slightest loss. ”Mengshan Daoist said helplessly: "They are unimpeded, what should we do?"
Even if we want to force our strength, it is not enough, just with the people under our command now, even if Guangling City and other state capitals are not enough to send out manpower with all their might. ”If Gu Cheng completely took over the strength of the chaotic army under Fang Zhenhai, then he might still have the strength to fight.But in fact, the power that Gu Cheng took over was only close to half.There are half of the Eight Great King Kongs, and the soldiers of the chaotic army have killed a large number of people in the previous attack on Zhang Xian, in the civil strife in Gao Jiande, and in the battle to exterminate that Fang Zhenhai later, plus some people who did not want to work for the imperial court so they fled, and now the number of soldiers under Gu Cheng is really not as good as half of the people in the peak of Fang Zhenhai in the past.Gu Cheng knocked on the table and said, "Who said I want to use our people?"
The above is for me to guard Nanzhi County, and if all the people who use us go wrong, wouldn't it be a big loss because of a small one?
If he Murong Hou will take advantage of the situation, will I Gu Cheng take advantage of it?
”Mengshan Dao people looked puzzled, the Wang family and the Four Extremes Sect were unwilling to make a move, who else could Gu Cheng borrow?
