A relatively remote and quiet backyard of the city lord's mansion in Baidi City, there are small bridges and flowing water, but there are no flowers, but there are nine rockeries made of rare and rare ores, which have unique architectural characteristics of the Western Regions.

On a rockery ten zhang away, Ji Minggu was dancing in front of Gu Zheng to invite credit, "Big brother, how is it, is my support for today amazing?"

"You see, I'm pretending not to know you well, so that they mistakenly think that I'm just trying to refine war puppets, and that any of them will have to bid right behind my ass. Ji Minggu said.

"We didn't know each other in the first place. Gu Zheng lay on his back on the top of the rockery, looking at the bright starry sky that has been rare in recent days, and his mood was leisurely.

A pot of hundred-year-old ice knife wine from the Northwest Regions in his ear, as Gu Zheng opened his mouth and inhaled, his own wine overflowed, and fell into Gu Zheng's mouth in an arc.

Gu Zheng is not a drinker, but he is quite fond of this cold, instantaneous ice knife sake, and when he is in a good mood, he will take a few sips.

"Big brother, you're hurting people's hearts, who am I doing this for, isn't it for our Snow Dragon Island?" Ji Minggu was choked and showed a little grievance, and lamented.

"You're not from Snow Dragon Island either. What the hell do you want to say?" Gu Zheng exhaled a mouthful of wine, turned into a cloud of mist, floated to the side of the pond, and suddenly saw a vision of a clear sky and drizzle.

Ji Minggu glanced at the vision over there with some envy, this seemingly simple scene, but it was a phenomenon out of nowhere, pointing directly to the Yunyu Sword Technique Dao, he was still far away.

"Big brother, let's discuss, you are also the first guest of Yunyu Sword Mansion, and you are all your own people, can you be accommodating, don't let me go and ask the old monster of the land like six to come out of the mountain?" Ji Minggu did not allow any traces to retract his gaze, and said with a shy face.

"What do you say? The words have been released, are you embarrassed to slap yourself in the face?" Gu Zheng glanced at Ji Minggu, too lazy to pay attention to this thoughtful guy.

Ji Minggu suddenly wailed with a bitter face: "Can the bid of the Yunyu Sword Mansion be reduced somewhat? For example, the Dixuanjing is halved? After all, I am also here today to support you for the eldest brother." If I let Lao Tzu know that I am such a loser, I will definitely not be able to face the wall. ”

Gu Zheng still shook his head and unceremoniously rejected Ji Minggu, this time he didn't even want to say more. This guy has a temperament that beats snakes and sticks, he knows it very well, and he must not satisfy his luck mentality.

Ji Minggu was silent with a bitter face, but in fact, there was joy flowing in his heart. The reason was very simple and direct, although Gu Zheng refused his request, he actually showed his closeness to Yunyu Sword Mansion and him.

If Gu Zheng really bargained with him Ji Minggu, and even very politely refined the war puppet for free, then this bit of incense between the two sides would probably really be broken.

is just the identity of the first guest secretary, how can it be tied to this figure who is in the ascendant?

Thinking of this, Ji Minggu didn't dare to test too much, but turned around and said: "Big brother, brother, I have let it go, for the sake of the prosperity of Xuelong Island, I will not hesitate to be picked up by my old man." However, can you let me stay by my side and pour tea and water for you and a few sisters-in-law every day......"

The aftermath continued, and Ji Minggu had been directly thrown out of the City Lord's Mansion by a soft force, and disappeared.

Not long after Ji Minggu left, Qin Hongyu, who had been waiting for a long time, also came, she looked at Gu Zheng who was sitting by the pool with mixed feelings, knowing that the person in front of her was actually unfamiliar with the Qin Clan's Sword Mansion, and even had a bad heart.

After all, although the Qin Clan's Sword Mansion gave up half of the territory of the Bai Clan's Sword Mansion in the Western Regions, it did not contribute to help defend the Beast Clan, but handed it over to the people of the Tang Clan's Sword Mansion, with a faint intention to watch the fire from across the shore.

For this, Qin Hongyu was also very helpless, the Qin Sword Mansion was not up to her, and even in this major matter, his father Qin Wutian could not do a word.

In the final analysis, it was still the elders of the Qin Clan's Sword Mansion who were short-sighted, and felt that the Bai Clan's Sword Mansion's half of the territory might as well be given to Snow Dragon Island as cheap Tang Clan's Sword Mansion, and at the same time, they could draw a lot of strength to defend themselves.

When Gu Zheng returned strongly with Snow Dragon Island, it was too late for those people in the Qin Clan's Sword Mansion to regret it, so they could only send her, Gu Zheng's old acquaintance, to remedy and ease up.

After all, it is not easy for the Qin Clan's Sword Mansion to defend the two places, if there is the help of the nearby Snow Dragon Island, plus the war puppet refined by Gu Zheng, then it can be called impregnable.

It's just that seeing Gu Zheng's posture in front of him, Qin Hongyu knew that the little bit of past love between the two families was probably exhausted, so he could only start from scratch and talk about things.

"Senior Sister Qin came to the door in person, but there is something to discuss?" Sure enough, Gu Zheng only opened his mouth indifferently in the face of this former half of the leader, and there was no smile.

He knew why Qin Hongyu came, since he was talking about business, then he would do business.

Although Gu Zheng's indifference was not aimed at Qin Hongyu, Qin Hongyu also knew that his trip was in vain, and the full stomach that he had prepared was quietly swallowed.

She just said a little cautiously: "Senior Brother Gu, the Qin Clan's Sword Mansion and Snow Dragon Island live next to each other, and they are willing to reach an offensive and defensive alliance with each other to resist the beast clan together." ”

"It's useless to say more, the Qin Clan's Sword Mansion is willing to invite two Earth Elephant Sixfold Supreme Elders this time, and the bid for the battle puppet refining will be twice as high as that of the other family. ”

"Yes. Gu Zheng did not hesitate, lowered his eyes slightly, and replied in a low voice.

"Then don't bother Senior Brother Gu, farewell. Qin Hongyu was in a gloomy mood, and after giving a slight salute, he turned around and left.

She knows that today's Gu Zheng is no longer what it used to be, and trying to rely on some small means to win over is tantamount to a fool's dream, and only expressing sincerity with practical actions is the safest way.

Therefore, Qin Hongyu left after speaking, without the slightest delay.

Gu Zheng sighed slightly, he could understand the Qin Clan's Sword Mansion's approach, but it didn't mean that he would be submissive, and not caring about it was already counted as his past feelings. As for the relationship between the two families in the future, it will be a long time in the future, and let's take a look at it slowly.

After Qin Hongyu left, Chen Yanyan and Yang Qingqing both came to visit Gu Zheng on behalf of their respective Sword Mansions, and they both returned great kindness to Gu Zheng.

Needless to say, Chen Yanyan has always trusted Gu Zheng very much, and even helped him several times, Gu Zheng can even faintly feel that inexplicable feeling now, but he doesn't know how to respond.

And Yang Qingqing, Gu Zheng once had a life-saving grace and half-master friendship in the Northeast Wasteland, if you talk about it, I am afraid that there is also a relationship with Gu Zheng, which has made Yang Qingqing's status in the Funeral Sword Mansion skyrocketed recently, and even became the personal inheritance of the master of the Battle Martial Pavilion.

Yang Qingqing thanked Gu Zheng for his kindness and came in person, but rarely talked about official affairs, just to see Gu Zheng alone and express his gratitude.
