Chapter 401: The Covenant of Jiazi
The five kings of the Xing clan vied with each other to recognize Gu Zheng as the master, of course, it was not because Gu Zheng's charm was too great, and they were not so servile.
The five brothers are obviously affectionate, and they don't want others to be slaves in exchange for their own freedom, so they will come forward.
They have no intention of tearing up the agreement, and they are not treacherous people.
But the five of them never expected that the accident came to Gu Zheng's body, and they wanted all five of them to recognize their masters and become slaves and servants.
Even Jiang Qingyue, who was beside Gu Zheng, glanced at Gu Zheng quite unexpectedly, although she didn't say it explicitly, she already felt a little disdainful in her heart. is not only despised for being a person, but also laughing at his stupidity.
Even if Gu Zheng really wanted all the five brothers to recognize the master, at least he would wait until one of them was accepted. Now that Gu Zheng is so anxious, isn't he forcing the five to break their promises?
Sure enough, when the five Xing brothers heard this, they immediately stopped fighting and looked at Gu Zheng in unison, even the anger in their eyes was the same.
It was still Boss Xing who was a little calm, and took the lead in speaking: "It's still the same sentence, en is en, and the agreement is the agreement." Our five brothers will not regret it, but please don't take an inch. ”
Gu Zheng smiled slightly, he knew that these people had misunderstood what he meant, so he didn't move, but just said earnestly: "You should know that I, like that Chang Wudao, are competing for the position of the Lord of the Dragon Divine Eye Guard Palace. ”
"And the purpose of our deepening into the Demon Abyss Mountain Range this time is to kill or subdue you. Only by recognizing me as the Lord can you truly regain your freedom and walk out of this Demon Abyss Mountain Range. From then on, no one dared to continue to pursue your past grievances. ”
When Gu Zheng said this, the five kings of the Xing family and Jiang Qingyue understood that they had indeed misunderstood Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng explained in advance that it was not a breach of contract or stupidity, but it could be called above board.
If you wait until Gu Zheng subdues one of the five brothers and then says this, then you will really persecute them, leaving no room for them. Jiang Qingyue's eyes flashed slightly, as if she had reacquainted herself with Gu Zheng, and became more and more silent for a while.
"So that's the case, it's our brother who is reckless. But even so, let all five of our brothers confess the master, this ......" Boss Xing looked ashamed, glanced at the other brothers, and became a little embarrassed.
Of course, they don't want to stay in this gloomy hell with thin mystical power and fierce spirits all the time, and the cultivation is slow to enter the realm, not to mention, after a long time, there is a danger of going mad sooner or later. After all, they are not like Gu Zheng, who can be like fish in water in this kind of place.
It's just that if the five of them want to be slaves for the rest of their lives, even if they can exchange for the vast world of the outside world, it is not complete freedom.
Gu Zheng can understand the psychology of the five kings of the Xing family, and he values the hearts and strength of the five people very much, so he is willing to give them more opportunities to choose.
"If you will believe in me, then confess me as Lord from now on. I will never imprison you for the rest of your life, and within a single child, you will be removed from the soul seed and returned to your true free body. Gu Zheng's words are chiseled.
"Of course, if you don't want to, let's just say goodbye, just take it as a good karma. Gu Zheng continued.
For the five kings of the Xing family, of course, Gu Zheng wants to be taken under his command, but what he wants is a certain foundation of trust, not yang and yin.
Giving them the opportunity to choose is also giving themselves a chance to gain greater trust. As for Yijiazi, Gu Zheng believed in himself, and he would no longer need this method at that time.
The five kings of the Xing clan were slightly stunned, obviously they didn't expect Gu Zheng to give them such lenient conditions, not only did they not force them to admit their master, but they were also willing to promise to return their freedom after a jiazi.
Sixty years of Yijiazi is a long time, but compared to the two thousand-year-old Shouyuan of the Sword King of the Spirit Realm, it is not enough.
It's just that once the five of them confess the Lord together, they will really lose the room to bargain with Gu Zheng, and when Gu Zheng repents, they will have nothing to do.
How to choose, this is a big gamble related to the fate of the five people, and the five kings of the Xing family are in a dilemma for a while.
Gu Zheng could see the embarrassment of the five people, but he didn't speak out to persuade him again, the stakes were very high, no matter how much he said, it would be useless, and it would even backfire.
Jiang Qingyue looked at Gu Zheng quite excitedly, and stopped talking. Obviously, she also wants such a promise, the dignified sword king, who wants to be imprisoned for the rest of her life?
Gu Zheng saw Jiang Qingyue's thoughts, and said without thinking: "You are all the same, you only need to serve a Jiazi loyally, and then whether you go or stay, it is all voluntary." ”
What Gu Zheng needs is someone who really works for him, not a superficial obedience. Soul seeds can control the life and death of others, but they cannot control people's hearts. If he didn't even have this bit of courage, then Gu Zheng would rather give up this method.
Jiang Qingyue looked at Gu Zheng deeply, nodded with gratitude, and felt a little less mustard in her heart. If she can be free after a jiazi, she is willing to do her best during this period.
Of course, there is not much trust between master and servant for the time being, and she doesn't know if Gu Zheng will really let her go at that time.
But this promise at least gave her a lot of hope. With hope, life will not be dim.
The five kings of the Xing clan were obviously communicating in secret, and they could also realize that this was just a verbal promise from Gu Zheng, so they had to make a careful choice.
After half an hour, the five Xing brothers looked at Gu Zheng again with solemn expressions.
"Have you decided?" Gu Zheng looked at their expressions, his heart was slightly settled, and he said with a smile.
Boss Xing nodded seriously and said, "It's decided, we'll go with you." ”
The implication could not be more obvious, the five kings of the Xing clan had agreed to recognize Gu Zheng as the master, and they made their own choice.
Gu Zheng nodded, and five soul seeds were separated from the divine soul body, which drilled into the eyebrows of the five Xing brothers.
The five kings of the Xing clan did not resist, and allowed the soul to be planted into the body of the soul of the sea god, and from then on, at least within a jiazi, their life and death were between Gu Zheng's thoughts.
For a while, the five brothers were all complicated, but at the same time, they were greatly relieved. At the very least, they didn't hold back and won hope.
Gu Zheng was even more happy, and being able to subdue the five kings of the Xing family can be said to be the biggest gain of this trip.
Now, in addition to the five kings of the Xing family, he also has four sword kings under his command: Ye Huan, Zhu Qianye, Jiang Qingyue and Wu Ya.
With the Nine Great Sword Kings as his companions, Gu Zheng also had a greater grasp of the mainland.
"In the future, you can call me senior brother, and you don't have to call yourself a servant. Gu Zheng didn't embarrass the five people, and said directly.
"Meet Senior Brother!" The five kings of the Xing clan were secretly grateful, and they were really unable to adapt to letting them be slaves and masters.
On the road of cultivation, the strong man is called a brother, which is the norm. Unless it's really the same family, it won't be judged by age.
