Chapter 968 Chapter 968: Foreign Aid [Please vote]
The incident at the tea shop was so bad that it was reported to the local government.
If in peacetime, manpower is relatively sufficient, and a case involving missing persons occurs within the jurisdiction, the government will send additional manpower to solve the case for the sake of prestige - if the person is alive, the body will be seen!
However, the current situation is special, similar vicious incidents have increased sharply in a short period of time, and the government's manpower is obviously not enough. The search manpower was insufficient, and the investigation progress was slow. Even after all the busy work, no trace of the perpetrators was found in the tea shop, let alone the proprietress.
Anyone with a discerning eye will know at a glance that the landlady is probably in danger.
I can't help but feel a little regretful.
The tea shop owned by this proprietress is very famous in the local area.
The tea she sells is made of solid ingredients and is of high quality and low price, but she is more famous for her appearance, temperament, talent and temperament.
When the tea shop first opened, many tea customers came because of the beauty of the proprietress. As time passed, those who came here because of her reputation gradually discovered that the landlady was well-spoken and knowledgeable, and many of her insights were inspiring even to famous local talents.
Gradually, this tea shop gained a reputation.
It has become a place where local literati and poets hang out.
I heard that many people admired the landlady. Several times they asked ice men to come to her door to talk about matchmaking. There were even wealthy gentry who were willing to accept the position of their first wife. It's a pity that the landlady is still affectionate and can't forget her deceased husband. The more she is like this, the more literati appreciate her single-mindedness, affection and loyalty. They lament that a wife is like this, what more can a husband ask for. Those who cannot get married dare not take advantage of the pressure.
That’s how the proprietress’s tea shop got a firm foothold.
Who would have expected such a tragedy to happen.
“Oh, God is jealous of beauty...”
Everyone made a tacit agreement not to mention the boss lady's situation and ending.
With such beauty, how could the villain who took her away be so soft-hearted?
As for what you are thinking?
Only they know that.
The onlookers felt sorry for a while, and the excitement gradually dissipated. Among the crowd, a tall and burly man also put a bamboo hat on his head, looked away from the tea shop, lowered his head and disappeared into the crowd. . Gong Cheng didn't expect the boss lady to have such a sense of crisis, so she ran away without hesitation. There are still unsolved doubts in his mind, and he will ask the other party again when they meet next time.
With Gong Cheng's strength, it wouldn't take much time to go back and forth.
However, it did take a while for him to come out this time.
Gong Cheng just returned to his tent, his calm gaze fell accurately on the darkness inside the tent, then he turned his back and used his martial energy to make a fire and light the candle. As the soft light dispersed the darkness, a pair of dark eyes were revealed, which contained anger.
The other party said in a strange tone: "General Gong is really dignified. As a general, you abandoned the soldiers at will and left without saying a word for five or six days. People who didn't know thought you were collaborating with the enemy."
Gong Cheng did not take these words to heart.
It is normal for the other party to be angry.
Beimo’s senior management couldn’t control Gong Cheng and didn’t dare to control him, but they didn’t have to worry about embarrassing others. During his absence, the other party probably got scolded a lot. Those who suffer unreasonable disasters and yet do not feel resentful can only be saints: "I am a general in name only. I have neither soldiers nor generals under my command. I have no opinion and cannot give any advice on whatever battle strategy they set. The army is drawn out." Just let me know when the camp starts and tell me what to do. It doesn’t make any difference whether you are there or not.”
Gong Cheng has experience in showing off.
He spoke confidently and calmly, but the people listening were very angry: "Gong Yunchi, don't you plan to explain it?"
Gong Cheng asked: "Explain what?"
"Where have you been these past few days!"
"Liu Guan, this has nothing to do with you."
The woman in black clothes, known as Liu Guan, stepped forward with her sword hilt in hand. Squinting: "If you don't answer, will I not know? As a general in the Northern Desert, why are you going to Kunzhou at this juncture?"
Gong Cheng was not surprised that his whereabouts were exposed.
The Liu Guan in front of me has always been thoughtful and scheming. She has a high status in Brother Tude's account and has a lot of available manpower. She still doesn't deal with herself, and it's normal for her to keep an eye on her whereabouts. Perhaps, Liu Guan's move was not entirely for personal vendetta.
Brother Tude has also criticized him a lot over the years.
Today, Brother Tude is no longer a humble proton, and has survived the difficult years of thin political capital. Gong Cheng is still important to him, but he is no longer as indispensable as a life-saver.
It is difficult to say that Liu Guan’s behavior was not inspired by Brother Tude.
Gong Cheng said: "Dealing with personal matters."
Liu Guan saw that Gong Cheng used this reason to excuse himself again, and his heart became colder: "Jinli County missed the battle that day, General Gong You also use "private matters" to evade. Your "private matters" are to meet a widowed woman? "
Gong Cheng didn't expect that she could even check this level.
A kind reminder: "Stay away from that woman."
Although the proprietress was an ordinary person and did not have the special abilities of a scribe or warrior, Gong Cheng never thought that he could contact the gods. The people in the guild are really ordinary. Even putting aside this identity, his last job was as a butcher shop.
Compared with killing chickens and ducks, washing hands and making soup, people are better at peeling off human skin, and they are still as good as peeling off a whole human skin in one go. This ability requires talent, and more importantly, "diligence and hard work" to achieve the level of "practice makes perfect".
It is not impossible for literary scholars to fall into the hands of ordinary people.
Liu Guan thought that Gong Cheng was protecting the proprietress.
Sneered and said: "Why are you so anxious? I really didn't expect that General Gong, who was indifferent to the beauty rewarded by Beimo and was pure and stoic to the outside world, turned out to be not really not close to beauty but his heart. She belongs. Just mentioning it, did you panic?”
“You are not afraid of death, you can try to touch her.” Gong Cheng couldn't stop someone who insisted on seeking death, "However, I can't guarantee what kind of consequences it will cause. Also, tell Weng Zhi this. Let him not worry about one thing and the other, and make a mistake in the current priorities."
Liu Guan's expression changed for a moment: "I will convey it."
After a while, the camp returned to peace.
Gong Cheng took a quick shower and then went to practice.
He didn't care whether Brother Tude would listen to the advice.
In the past, Brother Tude would be cautious, but now he is hard to say. His power and status will change people beyond recognition.
After Gong Cheng had circulated for more than a dozen days, he exhaled a breath of turbid air and stopped practicing. It was not that he did not want to continue, but that there was a breath nearby that forced him to stop. This breath was unfamiliar, but it vaguely sent a chill down his spine.
Gong Cheng has not experienced this feeling for many years.
He stood up calmly and walked out of the tent.
At this moment, the bright moon is like water, like a light silver-white gauze draped over the human body, giving people a sense of loneliness and coldness. Gong Cheng had no intention of admiring the beautiful scenery of the wilderness, and cast his sharp eyes on the owner of the aura - this man was dressed in a bright silver robe, with a hint of blue in his snow-white hair, and a hazy glow all over his body. He was very young and could be called a handsome man. He pulled it out, but his eyes looked old and inconsistent with his appearance.
“Are you his descendant?”
This person’s voice is also very strange.
At first glance it sounds young, but if you listen carefully it reveals the vicissitudes of life.
There is an indescribable weirdness everywhere.
Gong Cheng had seen this kind of weirdness in another person before.
Gong Cheng also quickly realized who the "him" the other party was talking about was, and the horror in his heart could not be described in words. He reluctantly calmed down, but when he came back to his senses, he found that the clothes on his back were wet with sweat that had appeared at an unknown time, and his throat was dry.
He licked his lips nervously.
Use saliva to relieve the dryness and tightness on your lips, and squeeze out a sentence from your throat: "Hello, Your Excellency! I am Gong Cheng, courtesy name Yunchi. The 'he' you mentioned refers to the man who lives in Long Tomb Mountain. Bit?”
The visitor asked indifferently: "What else? The aura on your body is so strong that I can't even ignore it. I never expected that the reunion of old friends would take place like this. I never expected that the stingy iron rooster would actually be willing to use this method to find someone. Successor." He knew how much the other party valued cultivation.
Gong Cheng didn't respond, but his heart was filled with turmoil - the person in front of him was the foreign aid Mrs. Shen said had not escaped. I have thought about many possibilities, but I never thought of this.
Gong Cheng got straight to the point: "Why did you suddenly come out of the mountain?"
The visitor said: "You might as well take a guess."
Gong Cheng then guessed: "The meeting of the gods? But as far as the junior knows, the seniors and the meeting of the gods had some grudges in the past, right?"
They don't like the meeting of the gods.
A typical example is the person who gave Gong Cheng [Enlightenment].
This senior’s hatred of the Gods Society is second only to the Gongxi clan. If one day he is in a good mood and thinks of his ancestors who were also from the Gongxi clan, the Gods Society can be tied with the Gongxi clan as his most popular. The existence of hatred. Before he died, he murmured curses such as "We were all deceived, we were all deceived" and "Jimo Xing will not die well" - that senior was seriously injured by Jimo Xing, who was from the Gongxi clan. , his limbs were imprisoned in a prison called "Dragon Tomb Mountain" for decades at a time.
Gong Cheng later found out that besides the unlucky senior, there were four others who had also been deceived, and each of them was an old monster with unpredictable strength. But apart from the Association of Gods, he could not think of any other person or organization that would be so proud to ask for help.
It's not necessarily true that he came out of the mountain.
The aura of the person in front of me is stronger than mine, but not so strong that I can't compare to him. The other person should be an incarnation of the same spirit.
It is still an incarnation that is seventy-eight times as powerful as the original one.
This is enough to show the other party's determination to help the Northern Desert.
The visitor just laughed: "People's likes and dislikes are not fixed. Yesterday's enemies can also be today's allies, not to mention that they were just enemies a hundred years ago. No matter how great the hatred is in the face of time and years, it will not change. Vulnerable..."
But his intuition told Gong Cheng that things were not that simple.
Did the person in front of me also realize that he had been deceived?
Just when Gong Cheng was secretly guessing, the man suddenly asked: "Did he feel unwilling when he died?"
Gong Cheng: "It was not very peaceful."
The face is full of ferocity and hatred!
The man sneered: "Do you mean to die with your eyes closed?"
Gong Cheng didn't dare to say anything at the moment, because the aura lingering around the other party was quite a precursor to the coming storm, and underneath the calm appearance was a turbulent undercurrent: " He also What are your last words?”
Not waiting for Gong Cheng’s answer, the man said to himself: “You should be asked to kill all the Gongxi clan, leaving no one left.”
This is directly confirmed? Gong Cheng's guess.
The other party really knew that he had been deceived for a hundred years.
Gong Cheng also simply admitted: "Yes."
The man asked: "What was the result?"
Gong Cheng replied: "We met unexpectedly a while ago and had a fight. Although this clan only has There are two people left, but they are not easy to deal with. "
"Who is there besides Gong Xiqiu?"
Gong Xiqiu was quite famous in the northwest continent a few years ago.
Gong Cheng nodded: "Looking at the methods used by the other party, it should be the rumored high priest of the Gongxi clan. His methods are treacherous."
The frontal strength is unclear, but the escape is really powerful.
If we want to catch these two people, it will not be easy without planning in advance.
There was finally a glimmer in the man's eyes, and Gong Cheng was startled by the flash of cold light: "The high priest of the Gongxi clan... haha, it is really difficult to deal with..."
He asked again: "Do you have any news about them?"
Gong Cheng also had a bad attitude when it came to hunting down the descendants of the Gongxi clan. He would just do it if he encountered them, and he would not actively look for them if he didn't encounter them. At present, there is no need to look for it deliberately. According to the intelligence, Gong Xiqiu became Shen Tang's general.
It is bound to appear on the battlefields of the two countries.
You just need to wait and see.
This news has not spread yet, but as foreign aid, the people coming will know it sooner or later, and Gong Cheng has no need to hide it: "Gong Xiqiu is loyal to Kang State, and is probably the vanguard general in this battle. As for that one There is no accurate information about the mysterious high priest yet, but according to my guess, there is a high probability that he will fight for Gong Xiqiu.”
You don’t have to go looking for him, he will be sent to you automatically.
"It just happened to be settled together."
The visitor was noncommittal about the result.
Compared with Gongxi Qiu, who is not as powerful as Gong Cheng, he is more afraid of the high priest of the Gongxi tribe. Although these people are more gentle on the surface, they seem to be able to defeat them with just one punch, but in their bones, they are more gentle than each other. A crazy person who is always desperate.
But——
Judging from Gong Cheng’s description, the high priest is still immature.
If he were as good as those of those back then, even twenty Chehouhous would dare to fight him if there was Gong Xiqiu beside him, let alone Gong Cheng.
The fact that the other party escaped can only prove that he is not enough.
No matter how talented you are, if you have no room for growth, you will be treated as a waste. In the end, they will all be just corpses: "Both Gong Xiqiu and the contemporary high priest are participating in the battle? What is the relationship between the leader of Kang and them?"
Gong Cheng thought for a long time and finally came up with a word.
"Bosom friend?"
From Gong Cheng's point of view, these two people really didn't know each other without fighting. After several life-and-death fights, they developed feelings and turned enemies into friends.
When the visitor heard this word, he was in a daze for a moment.
But it soon turned into ridicule.
“It’s not easy to be a confidant of the Gongxi clan.” He couldn’t help but feel curious about the leader of Kang State. He had lived for too many years and witnessed the rise and fall of countless countries on this continent. In his opinion, , and today’s Kangguo is just one of them.
Destruction is the inevitable result.
After saying that, there was only silence between the two of them. Just as Gong Cheng was thinking about how to send the other person away, someone asked him if he was free in the past two days. Gong Cheng thought that the other person wanted to give him some advice and it was hard to refuse: "Recently, It’s nothing trivial, do you have any instructions, senior?”
The visitor’s eyes fell in a certain direction.
That is the location of Camel City.
After Camel City is the border fortress of Kang State.
"You come with me."
"The army has no order to break out of the stronghold."
The visitor just said chilling words indifferently: "Kill them all, it doesn't matter whether those trash come or not."
