562 Disappointing battle report
The chief manager opened the cowhide envelope and confirmed that there was only the battle report sent by Gu Li, and there was nothing else, so he only presented the battle report to Gu Zheng.
More than thirty people in the council hall stopped speaking because of Gu Li's battle report, and they all focused their attention on Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng's expression was a little complicated, Gu Li was once one of his closest generals. In the passage of time, Gu Li has changed, Gu Li is a good knife that can be used, but it has been sharpened by time, and Gu Zheng has gradually become separated, and finally he simply took the initiative to ask for orders to guard the border of the Golden Sword Alliance and the Zhanxing Empire, and walked far away with only 100,000 troops, maybe out of sight.
If it weren't for the fact that Gu Li's heart was no longer here with Gu Zheng, how could Gu Zheng be willing to let Gu Li go? and how could he let Gao Cheng, who had courage and no strategy, take over the mess left by Gu Li. Gu Zheng also thought that if Gu Li didn't leave, his military supplies might not be so seriously lost today.
Gu Li's heart became more and more estranged from Gu Zheng, and the battle reports were not as timely as those sent by the other two commanders who were outside. The last time he received Gu Li's battle report was more than two months ago, so Gu Zheng had displeasure in his expression. It is said that the situation over there is not very peaceful because of the actions of the Zhanxing Empire from time to time.
It took a few months to see Gu Li's battle report, Gu Li's battle report was very rich in content, so rich that Gu Zheng's expression was sunny and cloudy, and the changes could already be said to be drastic.
Gu Li's battle report generally has three main contents, the first is about the border dispute between the Golden Sword Alliance and the Zhanxing Empire, according to Gu Li, it has reached an agreement with the Zhanxing Empire that will not be in written form, or it can be said to be a gentleman's agreement, and the defenders of the Zhanxing Empire will no longer enter the area actually controlled by the Golden Sword Alliance. The verbal agreement with Gu Li was a rising force in the Zhanxing Empire, and it turned out to be the banner of the Holy King.
Seeing this, Gu Zheng's hands subconsciously trembled, and saw the banner of the Holy King again, which made it difficult for Gu Zheng's state of mind to pretend to be calm. There are people around him who have also played the banner of the Holy King, and they have caused her so much trouble, is this an absolute coincidence, or is it someone who deliberately wants to use the name of the Holy King to achieve some ulterior purpose?
Then he looked at Gu Li's battle report, and after only one glance, Gu Zheng couldn't help but look away, because he saw the word "Shengfeng" appearing on the battle report. These two words made him think about it day and night for a few years, and he searched for it without results for several years, originally thinking that there were ten first-class masters of the fire cloak, looking for the traces of Shengfeng like shadows, and there were means to make Shengfeng have nowhere to escape, so that Shengfeng would disappear forever, and he never imagined that Shengfeng would appear in a few years later.
In the battle report, Gu Li explained in detail the before and after the appearance of Shengfeng, but not why Shengfeng went to Gu Li, and specially explained that the Zhanxing Empire no longer entered the realm of the Golden Sword Alliance, which was also facilitated by Shengfeng. As for the place where Gu Zheng was most concerned about the living wind, Gu Li did not mention a word, whether he had entered the Zhanxing Empire or had returned to the Golden Sword Alliance, and there was no way to find out.
The last thing doesn't seem to have a lot to do with the Golden Sword Alliance, and it was discovered by Gu Li's people by chance, because it happened within the sphere of influence of the Golden Sword Alliance, so they wrote an extra record in the battle report.
It is said that the spies accidentally found fifty-seven corpses a hundred miles away from the Guli station. This was a common thing during the war years, but some things found from those corpses that could prove the identity of those people surprised Gu Lidu. The fifty-seven people turned out to be all from the Shenmu Hall of the Panlei Sect, and after the Saint King of the Zhanxing Empire who had fought with the people of the Shenmu Hall of the Panlei Sect once, as well as a few people who had dealt with the Panlei Sect, among the fifty-seven corpses, there was no extremely strong master of the Shenmu Hall that the Holy King had seen, but those people were still from the Shenmu Hall, and some of them were still quite famous powerhouses, and the fifty-seven people were all elites of the Shenmu Hall, and there were many first-class masters.
The battle report also mentioned that the death of the fifty-seven people in Shenmutang was a bit strange, and more than half of them could not find any wounds on their bodies, and the death was not so miserable, and it could also be said that the cause of death was unknown.
Gu Zheng saw some things that were not recorded from Gu Li's battle report. Why does Shengfeng have the ability to broker a truce between the two sides? It is very likely that the Saint King of the Zhan Xing Empire has some relationship with Shengfeng, and Gu Li can also ask that Saint King to recognize someone, at least it can show that their relationship is no longer hostile. There is also that Saint King, who can actually fight with the extremely strong, although he is far away in the Zhanxing Empire, so Gu Zheng has to be wary.
Gu Lizhan reported that the matter of Shenmu Hall had nothing to do with the Holy King of the Zhanxing Empire, and he couldn't find any clues about who did it. Gu Li also did not mention any signs of the activities of powerful forces in that area. After finally reading the battle report, Gu Zheng's expression couldn't see how relaxed it was.
"Fifth uncle, the battle report sent by Gu Li, take a look at it!"
Gu Zheng respectfully handed the battle report to the hands of one of the four old men with white hair.
Since becoming the leader of the Golden Sword Alliance, Gu Zheng has only been afraid of two people, one is the Golden Sword Ancestor, and the other is naturally the Heavenly Machine, the high priest of the Divine Dragon. After the reincarnation of the Golden Dao Ancestor, I heard that the Holy King needed a growth process, so that Gu Zheng, who had always been unwilling to only be the treasurer of the Golden Dao Alliance, saw the opportunity, so he did to get rid of so many babies born on the same day as the reincarnation of the Golden Dao Ancestor. It is possible that this is the will of heaven, but how can Gu Zheng be willing?
When Gu Zheng was forced to withdraw from the position of alliance leader, the ancestral land knew what Gu Zheng had done, was it because there were Gu Zheng's close relatives in the ancestral land? Gu Zheng was actually forgiven by the ancestral land. The reason why Gu Zheng was so polite to these people who came today and showed respect to the four old men was that Gu Zheng also realized the strength of the hidden power of the ancestral land, as long as the wind did not appear, then with the help of the power of the ancestral land, the great cause of recovering the Golden Sword Alliance would be half the effort.
"Father, Uncle Gu Li said that there was a Saint King in the Zhanxing Empire, and we also have a Saint King here, and the difference between the two Saint Kings is only half a year, will there be any connection between these two Saint Kings? Or is all this secretly manipulated by the real Saint King? Or is the Saint King no longer just a name, but the name of an organization?"
Gu Tian is Gu Zheng's eldest son, and when he was twenty years old, he had already entered the realm of the Five Elements True Qi, and his talent was especially superior to that of Gu Zheng back then. Everyone who listened to Gu Tian's words was stunned.
If there is really an organization called the Holy King, and it is across the two major forces of the Golden Sword Alliance and the Zhanxing Empire, once this force grows, its momentum will inevitably be amazing, and from the Golden Sword Alliance, the Holy King, you can know how shocking the speed of their growth is. However, in the blink of an eye, Gu Zheng put this thought behind him.
"The title of the Holy King was first passed out from the Golden Sword Alliance, I believe that the two people who used the name of the Holy King did not understand the so-called Holy King very well, the name of the Holy King is actually meaningless, the Holy King of the Zhanxing Empire, with the Emperor of Zhanxing, he can't set off much storm, as for the Holy King who appeared here, it is thousands of miles away from that Holy King, that Holy King may be related to Shengfeng, this Saint King is unlikely to have anything to do with Shengfeng, Shengfeng can't be so close to me and not be noticed by me, let the Holy King here go first, he can't become the climate, I will catch this Holy King sooner or later!”
Gu Zheng had been recuperating for decades, because he remembered that this holy king was no longer there, and he remembered that so many military supplies had been lost, but it was enough for 500,000 soldiers to live comfortably for five to six months!
Gu Zheng just wanted to put aside the matter about the Immortal King of Yuanbao for the time being, Gu Zheng thought that he had thought too much in the past, and he couldn't help but be nervous when he heard the Saint King. Yuanbao just played the name of the Holy King, but in fact, he didn't do anything to expand the territory, and fought endlessly one battle after another, as if most of them were others who took the initiative to find trouble with the Holy King, and the Holy King's army did not take the initiative to provoke Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng wanted to eradicate the Holy King, but it turned out that it was okay to say that he couldn't do it himself, and it was not bad to say that he was a mediocre person who disturbed himself, anyway, he was disgraced and ruined, and he also lost a lot of military supplies that made him feel distressed.
"Father, is Shengfeng really the Holy King?"
In Gu Tian's heart, the Holy King still had a sacred and unattainable meaning, although there were two people who claimed to be the Holy King, but he knew that their Holy King was different from the Saint King he knew.
Gu Zheng didn't answer Gu Tian immediately, Gu Tian wanted to know if Shengfeng was the reincarnation of the Golden Dao Ancestor, and Gu Zheng couldn't figure out whether he needed to verify Shengfeng's identity. Many of you are concerned about whether Shengfeng will appear as a holy king.
Gu Zheng quietly bred some unpredictable tension in his heart. If the wind is just the wind, it will be of much less significance to Gu Zheng and to the Golden Sword Alliance. If Shengfeng appears in the Golden Sword Alliance as the Holy King, then there will be a lot of people who will be affected by the Holy King, and Gu Zheng's great cause of recovering the Golden Sword Alliance will also be subject to unprecedented resistance and obstruction, after all, the status of the Golden Sword Ancestor in the Golden Sword Alliance is irreplaceable, that is, he has already expressed his attitude to support Gu Zheng's ancestral land, when that situation really occurs, Gu Zheng does not have any confidence, and the four people present will not pull him off the horse.
"Doesn't the ancestor want us?"
The fifth uncle had been carefully studying Gu Li's battle report, of course, he was most concerned about the news about Shengfeng, and the old man next to him couldn't help but sigh and said. It was recorded in the battle report that Sheng Feng stayed in Gu Li's military camp for a meal, and they didn't say anything they wanted to know about it and had actual content, let alone what Gu Li did for him, and helped Gu Li solve some problems.
