559 is no longer what it used to be
Thank you for the recommendation vote support of Emperor & Dubu!)
It's only been three years, which also shows that these three years are not so wishful every day, compared to when he left from the Golden Knife Villa, Gu Zheng's face has an extra layer of vicissitudes, and the same Zhongzheng elegance in the past can vaguely see a bit of resolute ruthlessness. Ruju's gaze left the battle report on the bookcase, and turned to the commander Gao Cheng who was standing on the side.
"Okay, you Gao Cheng, you mean that the little-known little Saint King has disappeared from your sight, and their current team is no longer only ten thousand people, this is not a small team that is so easy to hide!"
Gao Cheng's gaze and Gu Zheng's gaze only made contact in a hurry, and immediately avoided it with a weak heart.
"Back to the alliance master, the last time my subordinates found their traces, mobilized more than 60,000 troops to press up, that battle fought intermittently for three days and three nights, they were dragged by my 60,000 troops, and then it was a fluke that some escaped, that battle my people only came back less than 20,000, I believe that the loss of the holy king is also quite heavy, since that battle has not found their traces, from the statistics of the information obtained by the subordinates, the strength of the holy king before the war has been close to 100,000, so our department will have such a loss, it is possible that the holy king's army has been broken up by our army, so it is possible to hide, our department can only be regarded as a miserable victory。 ”
"Impossible!"
Gu Zheng was furious and slapped the book case. At this moment, it is not the first time that he is afraid of the book case, and he has not yet shown his strength, so the book case is still intact, and he can only express the anger in his heart a little, as well as his contempt for Gao Cheng. The First World War sent 60,000 horses, but only came back less than 20,000, and the shadow of the Holy King was not seen by Gu Zheng, and he even had the face to say that it was a tragic victory?
"In such a short period of a few months, where did you let that holy king bring out an army of 100,000? Did the wind blow? Even if he had an army of 100,000, how could such a huge army disappear and disappear? Gao Cheng, I think you were defeated and defeated, and you still have the face to say that you won a miserable victory, where are you victorious? Do you have a captured prisoner to bring back?"
Gao Cheng was speechless for a while, he had fought with that holy king more than once, it seemed that every time he lost his soldiers, he did not come to the battlefield to take the lead, and he didn't know how the battle was carried out, and he heard the soldiers who fled back say that both sides fought quite fiercely, a little bit of the same end, so they lost so many people. Gao Cheng also had doubts about the accounts of the soldiers or generals who fled back, if according to their statement, the army of the Holy King should have been exhausted in a few months, and his subordinates had lost more than 100,000, but the army of the Holy King was not only not finished, but how could it grow stronger day by day? Gu Zheng was suspicious of him, if he could capture a prisoner and come back, it would prove him, but unfortunately, after a few months, such a small wish of his has never been realized.
"Alliance leader, will they hide in the ranks of the fleeing people, there have been natural disasters and wars in that area recently, and there are many people who have fled, please give the alliance leader another army to his subordinates, this time his subordinates must personally go into battle, and they must be cleared of those anti-thieves, so that they can be exposed!"
Gu Zheng snorted coldly, "What, are you going to kill all the displaced people in that area? they have lost their homes because of the war, and they will lose their lives because of your stupidity?"
Gao Cheng was questioned in a cold sweat, and was about to plead, when he heard the sound of chaotic and heavy footsteps coming in from outside the door, and there was more than one person coming. Gu Zheng's brows furrowed in displeasure. The chief steward beside him had not yet taken a step forward, and there was no sound of the announcement, when the door of the study was rudely pushed open from the outside. Not only did the double carved wooden door suddenly open, but the three people outside the door walked in without giving Gu Zheng a chance to speak.
On the left and right of the three of them are two people in their thirties and forties, the fire cloak of the Ronglie Empire's protector guard, both of whom are first-class masters in the world, and the one who is embraced by the two fire cloaks is a man who is younger than them, only in his early thirties, tall and handsome, with brocade clothes and jade belts on his body, and an embroidered gold silk crown on his head, so he can see the noble identity of the person without asking.
"Lord of the Ancient Alliance, you are such a big shelf, our King Xiyan has arrived, why don't you go downstairs to greet you?"
The fire cloak on the left hand side of King Xiyan didn't salute when he saw Gu Zheng, with a lofty momentum, his eyebrows were raised, and he had a tone of asking for guilt. These people were already unhappy in Gu Zheng's heart uninvited, and they were questioned like this by a fire cloak, their faces suddenly showed coldness, and a wisp of murderous intent immediately burst out in their eyes.
The fire cloak took a step forward, less than five meters away from Gu Zheng. Gao Cheng felt a chill down his spine, and subconsciously shrank back. Gu Zheng's anger was not aimed at Gao Cheng, he still had such strong feelings. The fire cloak that wanted to face Gu Zheng's anger, he was arrogant, he didn't take Gu Zheng's anger in his eyes, and he didn't even make the necessary reaction when Gu Zheng's hand was raised.
It's all because of the arrogance of the fire cloak. Gu Zheng had once whispered to the Ronglie Empire to borrow soldiers, and Gu Zheng, who had bowed to them in their hearts, was no longer qualified to represent the Golden Sword Alliance, but was just an alliance leader seeking charity. In addition, there is also a noble Xiyan King who can truly represent the Ronglie Empire by his side, and he is still a first-class master with a fire cloak and is admired enough to be proud of the world, so what is he afraid of Gu Zheng, who is no longer the former alliance leader?
This series of thoughts of the fire cloak flashed through his mind, and he realized that he seemed to have ignored somewhere. First of all, King Xiyan's face is not too valuable in the eyes of the down-and-out alliance leader in his eyes, this is the Golden Sword Alliance, not the Ronglie Empire where King Xiyan can do whatever he wants, and what he remembers is only Gu Zheng three years ago, not only Gu Zheng has changed a lot in the past three years, but the power that Gu Zheng has no longer seems to be what he knows.
Sure enough, Gu Zheng didn't care about King Xiyan at all when he wanted to make a move, and he made a move after he was angry. The fire cloak found that he overestimated himself and underestimated Gu Zheng, not because his fire cloak identity was not enough, or because of his first-class master strength, but these were not worth mentioning in Gu Zheng's eyes. Gu Zheng waved his hand and pushed out a palm wind, and the fire cloak didn't even see the color of the true qi that represented his attributes. None of the colors were either bluffing, or the realm was even higher than him, entering the Five Elements True Yuan Realm that all cultivators dreamed of.
Gu Zheng shouldn't be bluffing, the anger on his face is not pretending. Realizing this, the face of the fire cloak immediately changed. Neither the King of Xiyan nor the other Fire Cloak made the necessary contingency moves. He didn't have a chance to be prepared because of Gu Zheng's sudden move, how could others make a move that could satisfy him at this critical moment?
The body of the fire cloak seemed to be smashed by a heavy hammer, and he seemed to hear the sound of bones breaking or shattering from his chest, and the bones in his chest could not block Gu Zheng's scorching palm, and the remaining momentum penetrated through the body, exerting the extreme of destruction in the body of the fire cloak. The fire cloak was not knocked away by the powerful force, but its body seemed to be controlled by a strong force and took two steps back. There was a hint of horror in his angry eyes, and then he turned into nothingness in a moment.
King Xiyan came in with two retinues, and only said a word, Gu Zheng raised his hand and waved it casually, and the fire cloak may not have felt pain, because he didn't make any sound after questioning Gu Zheng, so he took two steps back and fell backwards. You don't have to look closely, although you can't see a trace of blood, you also know that the fire cloak of a first-class master is completely lifeless.
Seeing the fallen subordinates, King Xiyan's face turned abnormally pale, and another of his subordinates flashed between him and Gu Zheng. King Xiyan's voice trembled because of the drastic change in his mood.
"Gu Zheng, Gu Alliance Master, what are you going to do here?"
Gu Zheng did not immediately face the King of Xiyan, he used to be the leader of the Golden Sword Alliance, and now he is still fighting for the recapture of the Golden Sword Alliance, it is said that Gu Zheng has borrowed a lot from the Ronglie Empire, and the King of Xiyan is one of the kings of the Ronglie Empire, and it is also a powerful person whose status is second only to the Emperor Ronglie. However, Gu Zheng never saw that he wanted to give a salute to King Xiyan, so he didn't stand up, but his momentum had caused a lot of oppression to King Xiyan.
Gu Zheng is intentional about this, speaking of taking advantage of the situation is the original Ronglie Emperor's commitment to Gu Zheng, and Gu Zheng still has some information with the Ronglie Emperor, the King of Xiyan and these kings do not know, the Ronglie Emperor once secretly met Gu Zheng, so Gu Zheng now only recognizes the Ronglie Emperor. In terms of status, the Golden Sword Alliance has only one leader, but the Ronglie Empire has ten kings of equal status, and in the case of ten to one, Gu Zheng's arrogance is also highlighted.
"Come on, pull out this useless waste!"
King Xiyan was the guards who retreated outside the small building, and didn't let them go up to report, so he broke in directly with two self-righteous subordinates, and the guards who had been scared were worried about being condemned by Gu Zheng, so they had been standing carefully outside the door and waiting, and when they heard Gu Zheng's call, they trotted in all the way and dragged away the corpse of the fire cloak on the ground. After the guards had all gone out, Gu Zheng's gaze turned to King Xiyan.
"Come on, serve tea to King Xiyan, King Xiyan, please take a seat, how did this kind of treacherous villain who is bent on provoking the relationship between me and the Ronglie Empire get into King Xiyan's side? It seems that King Xiyan should be more careful with the people around him!"
The chief steward personally went over to make a cup of tea, took it and put it on the case in the hand of King Xiyan, who was already sitting on Gu Zheng's side. King Xiyan felt a hint of warmth while holding the teacup in his hand, and his pale face looked better at this time.
