Chapter 85: Blocking the City Gate and Deterring with a Sword
Gu Zheng didn't pay attention to Tang Zhiyan's ridicule, but just said to Tang Zhige: "Senior Brother Tang has something to do here?"
"It's not a secret, our Tang Clan's Sword Mansion is also interested in the ruins of the Ancient Array Sect. Now that there are disciples waiting outside the city, I would like to ask you, the new city lord, to leave a place, otherwise we will really be sleeping in the wilderness. Tang Zhige said calmly.
As the lord of a city, Gu Zheng is indeed qualified to accept foreign Sword Mansions, and he only needs to report to the Sword Mansion afterwards.
Gu Zheng had a good impression of the Tang brothers and sisters, and he also believed that they would not let the disciples of the Sword Mansion cause chaos in the city, so he simply responded to it.
Seeing off the Tang brothers and sisters, Gu Zheng ushered in Qin Hongyu again, and she was followed by Qin Honglou. I don't know if Qin Honglou has a good relationship with Tang Zhiyan, but he actually looked at Bai Feng for the first time, revealing a disdainful look.
Qin Hongyu was very distant in front of Gu Zheng at the moment, not like a person in the same family. In fact, she and Qin Honglou did not represent the Qingyan Sword Mansion and the Dongsheng Sword Mansion this time, but came forward on behalf of the Qin Clan's Sword Mansion and also wanted to settle in the Eastern Wilderness City.
For the people of the Qin Sword Mansion, especially Qin Hongyu, Gu Zheng has always maintained a bit of vigilance. However, the Eastern Wilderness City is now under control, and Gu Zheng did not shirk it, and also promised.
At the same time, Gu Zheng also received hints from Tang Zhige and Qin Hongyu, who seemed to want to secretly form an alliance with the Qingyan Sword Mansion in order to act cheaply in the ruins.
Although the two did not say it explicitly, Gu Zheng understood their deep meaning, but he did not have the right to make a decision, and it depended on the attitude of Qingyan Sword Mansion.
Seeing off Qin Hongyu and the others, Gu Zheng saw the person from the Yanwu Sword Mansion again, and this person Gu Zheng also had some impressions, it was Chen Yanyan, the chief disciple of the eighth generation of the Yanwu Sword Mansion.
Chen Yanyan is also eye-catching in the Southern Regions, and his swordsmanship seems to have entered the realm of transformation, and his posture is even more than the Southern Regions, comparable to Qin Hongyu.
Chen Yanyan is different from other women, she does not have the slightest aura of a Xuan Sword Master, nor does she have the fireworks in her name, but she is not as graceful and elegant as the world.
She didn't have the comparison of Qin Honglou and Tang Zhiyan, she just greeted Gu Zheng gently and bluntly.
"Senior Brother Gu, the Yanwu Sword Mansion is full of female disciples, and it is really inconvenient outside the city, I hope Senior Brother Gu will be considerate and allowed to enter the city. Chen Yanyan looked at Gu Zheng with a pair of watery eyes, and said almost word by word.
Bai Feng stood behind Gu Zheng, and couldn't help but be secretly depressed when he saw another beauty who was not inferior to his own. Why do all the beauties in the Southern Regions come to find this kid, and this Eastern Wilderness City Lord has really become a sweetheart?
Gu Zheng didn't say anything, and also arranged for one person to accept the disciples of the Yanwu Sword Mansion. It's just that he didn't notice that Chen Yanyan's eyes were almost always glued to him, and there was an indescribable curiosity hidden in them.
Looking at Chen Yanyan, who turned around almost three times in one step, Bai Feng secretly screamed an idiot, and he didn't know whether to say Gu Zheng or Chen Yanyan.
"Send people to pay attention to the movements of these three sword mansions in the city, and treat them equally. Gu Zheng gave an order, and then left and went back to the backyard.
Seeing that Gu Zheng barely paid attention to himself, Bai Feng couldn't help but roll his eyes full of resentment. He also made a bet with his subordinates to conquer this little city lord, who would have thought that this guy knew that he cultivated every day, and he didn't even have a chance to get close.
"Elm pimple, idiot, incomprehensible...... deserves to be lonely for the rest of your life......" Bai Feng thought in pieces and went out to run errands.
In the next few days, Gu Zheng stayed in the backyard, mostly sinking in the water every day to practice swords, and the mundane affairs in the city were handled by Liu Yuntian and Bai Feng, and everything returned to normal.
It's just that Gu Zheng knows that this kind of calm is only a superficial phenomenon, and the internal waves are treacherous, and the storm may be hidden under this calm.
And all he has to do is continue to improve his strength, brake quietly, and be ready to meet this storm at any time.
Sure enough, five days later, Liu Bi hurried to the backyard and brought the expected news.
"There is nothing unusual in the Eastern Wilderness City for the time being, but there are more and more large and small forces gathered outside the city, especially those who are scattered cultivators, and they are very restless. Liu Bi looked at the magical scene in front of her, and said while secretly exclaiming her surprise.
In the middle of the pond, Gu Zheng actually stood on a lotus leaf with a sword, and with the light dance of his sword, his body also rippled slightly with the water waves, which can be called treading water without a trace.
By Gu Zheng's side, hundreds of koi fish gathered, swimming and jumping happily around him without the slightest fear.
Gu Zheng opened his eyes, Gu Jing Wubo's eyes seemed to have no focus, the sword style was still the same, only a calm voice came out: "They caused trouble in the city?"
Liu Bi didn't know why, she didn't dare to look at Gu Zheng's eyes, so she had to bow her head slightly and said: "They didn't dare to enter the city to make trouble, but they faintly blocked the Eastern Wilderness City." ”
"What kind of blockade method?" Gu Zheng tapped at his feet, put away the Xuanjian, and the person had fallen on the bluestone by the pool.
They blocked the two city gates and threatened to charge entry and exit fees, one medium-grade Xuanjing at a time. And, as far as I know, there have been people who have left the city and been killed for money. Those who shot were also loose cultivators. Liu Bi hurriedly said.
"A thief's heart does not die. Do you think you can ignore the City Lord's Mansion when you leave the Eastern Wilderness City?" Gu Zheng's eyes focused on Liu Bi at this time, and his cold color was fully revealed.
Liu Bi couldn't help but shudder, secretly terrifying, and at the same time, she had already begun to mourn in silence for those troublemakers in her heart.
On the same day, Gu Zheng went out of the city alone, killing three people and injuring 19 people at the north city gate, and killing two people and injuring 16 people at the south city gate. Since then, no loose cultivator has dared to block the city gate and ask for entrance and exit fees.
The next day, Gu Zheng followed the residents out of the city and killed nine people who robbed the road and scattered cultivators. Since then, the various scattered cultivation forces have been deterred, and they are all stationed away from the Eastern Wilderness City, and they dare not hurt the people of the Eastern Wilderness City again.
It's just that Gu Zheng didn't return to the city that day, but tracked down a group of loose cultivators and came to a dense forest. Gu Zheng knew that they were deliberately luring themselves to this remote place, but he also deliberately took the bait.
The reason is very simple, these people are not ordinary Xuan Sword Masters at all, and the rich bloody aura on their bodies can be clearly perceived by Gu Zheng. They are the people of the Demon Gate.
"Gu Zheng, aren't you really afraid that we will set up an ambush to kill you?" In the dense forest, a person walked out, it was Luo Dingfeng.
Gu Zheng's soul swept away, and he found that there was no trace of anyone other than Luo Dingfeng.
"I'm afraid I can't do it with your words alone. Gu Zheng looked at Luo Dingfeng, wondering what the other party was selling.
If you really want to collude with the Xinghuo Sword Mansion to assassinate yourself, with Luo Dingfeng's meteorological realm or true demon strength, I am afraid it is impossible.
"Hmph! I just came to see you at the behest of the little master. If I really want to kill you, do you think you can escape the ambush of the Demon Gate?" Luo Dingfeng said coldly.
"Little master, what about her?" Gu Zheng's heart moved, and he thought of Su Lizhou.
