Chapter 151: Old Rivals
The cool night breeze was blowing, and in the stone pavilion, Gu Chen and Ah Jin drank each other, and after a few glasses of wine, Ah Jin said, "Brother Gu, how does it feel to be a dragon envoy?"
Gu Chen came to the Tiger Head Camp, and Ah Jin opened his mouth several times, all of which were around the Dragon Envoy, as if he was very interested.
Looking at the faint longing in Ah Jin's eyes, Gu Chen's hand holding the wine glass paused, "Brother Jin, if you are interested and want to become a dragon envoy, why don't you ask Lord Mu to ask for it?
His mind was broken, and Ah Jin couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile, "How can it be so simple, it's not a secret, Lord Mu has already recommended me to the Grand Commander three times, but the Grand Commander said that I am not suitable to become a Dragon Envoy. ”
Gu Chen wrinkled his forehead in surprise, "How can this be? It would be so difficult for Lord Youmu to introduce you?"
"Well....... Ah Jin pondered for a moment, "I didn't say anything disparaging, but said that my qualifications are indeed good, and I am a person who can concentrate on cultivation, but people like me are not suitable for the Dragon Envoy, and I don't know what the specific reason is." ”
Looking at Ah Jin's lost appearance, Gu Chen silently touched the corners of his mouth, he didn't know much about Ziyang, but it wasn't too little, especially knowing that he used to be a genius and had a brilliant past, as for why he didn't look down on Ah Jin, if it wasn't for strength and potential, then there was only one point, heart!
The so-called people are old and refined, Ziyang has lived for many years, how many things he has experienced, how much a person's heart is, he can see it at a glance, and the dragon envoy is not an ordinary dragon and tiger guard, he has to face more dangerous things, first of all, he must be fearless, and then be flexible, Ah Jin doesn't know how many years he has been under Mu Zhengtian, I am afraid that he has long been conformist, if this kind of person encounters danger, it is indeed more likely to have accidents.
"Oh, you see I only asked you about the Dragon Envoy, by the way, Brother Gu, did you have something to do with your visit to the Tiger Head Camp this time?"
Seeing that Ah Jin was only asking about his intention now, Gu Chen couldn't help but smile and said, "Actually, I do have some things, but it's not a big deal, it's just a little boring, so I want to come to the barracks to take on a few tasks to do." ”
Gu Chen's answer made Ah Jin stare at him, the dragon envoy actually came to the Tiger Head Camp to take over the mission?
He smiled bitterly, "Brother Gu originally came to find a task to do, but I didn't expect it, you know, unless we can't handle something to let you make a move, I didn't expect you to take the initiative to send it to the door." ”
"Hehe, it's really a bit boring. ”
Ah Jin nodded, "That's no problem, well, so let's do it, since you want to do the mission, then I'll take you to meet Master Mu, and he will arrange for you." ”
Since Gu Chen did have something to do, Ah Jin didn't delay his time anymore, and the two drank all the wine in their cups, and then went to Mu Zhengtian's cave mansion.
......
It seemed that he didn't expect Gu Chen to come, and when Mu Zhengtian saw him, he was obviously stunned for a moment.
Letting Gu Chen sit on the seat below, Mu Zhengtian threw away the work in his hand and said, "Gu Chen, I didn't expect you to come back after you became a dragon envoy, definitely not to come to see me, tell me, is there something wrong?"
Mu Zhengtian's ridicule made Gu Chen laugh for a while, "I didn't expect Lord Mu to be such a majestic person, and he would say such ridiculous words, in fact, my subordinates came this time, first, I want to thank my lord for his recommendation, and secondly, I want to ask Brother Wu how the situation is now, and there are some things about myself." ”
Mu Zhengtian poured a cup of tea, his wrist trembled, and flew in front of Gu Chen.
The rich aroma came to his nose, and Gu Chen unceremoniously took it in his hand.
Mu Zhengtian said, "Actually, the person I want to thank is me, if it weren't for you, the matter of Fengyang City would not have been solved so smoothly, and if it weren't for you, Wu Ci would not have survived." ”
"My lord's words are serious, these are all things that Gu Chen should do. ”
Mu Zhengtian smiled, "Wu Ci's body is fine, and now it is estimated that he has completely recovered, and I haven't been to see him for a while."
Gu Chen nodded, "That's good......." After pondering for a while, he continued, "Master Mu, in fact, Gu Chen came this time to take on a few tasks. ”
"Hahaha. As if he couldn't help it, Mu Zhengtian laughed out loud.
Gu Chen looked at him strangely and laughed for some reason.
After Mu Zhengtian smiled, he said, "Sure enough, as I guessed, in the past, all those who were selected from the Dragon and Tiger Army to become the Dragon Envoy were mostly like you, and there would be a period of discomfort, during this time, they would return to the barracks to take over the task, but I didn't expect that you would be no exception." ”
Is there such a thing?
Gu Chen was stunned at first, and then laughed too, when Mu Zhengtian said this, he felt that he was indeed very similar to this kind of person, but the truth was that he was not uncomfortable, he just wanted to earn some merits, and then exchange for some pills.
However, since he was misunderstood by Mu Zhengtian, Gu Chen will also be wrong;"In the past, as the commander of the Dragon and Tiger Army of Fengyang City, he was entangled in many things every day, but now he is suddenly idle, and he feels as if he is missing something, and if he doesn't find something to do, he has always felt unsteady in his heart." ”
Mu Zhengtian nodded, "I understand, and you are indeed here, if you are really idle, I really have a tricky task here that needs to be handled." ”
Mu Zhengtian rummaged on the table for a while, took out a file and walked down, and said, "Look at it, it's also your old enemy." ”
Old rivals?
Gu Chen took the file handed over by Mu Zhengtian, he looked through it, and then wrinkled his forehead, it was indeed an old enemy.
Ghost three!
Ghost San was driven out of Fengyang City by Wu Ci back then, Gu Chen thought that after he lost the silver corpse and suffered a blow, he might hide for a while, but he didn't expect that after he fled to Jingyang City, he once again set off a bloody storm.
According to a rough record, nearly 50,000 people have died at his hands.
50,000 people!
Gu Chen just thought about this number, and felt a chill rising behind him, these 50,000 people would be fine if they were cultivators, but they were all unarmed ordinary people who couldn't resist, and the cruelty of the ghost three had reached the point where heaven and earth could not tolerate it.
Gu Chen put away the file and said, "Speaking of which, I still have some responsibilities, if I could have killed the ghost three in Fengyang City back then, maybe Jingyang Town would not have killed so many people." ”
Mu Zhengtian waved his hand, "You can't say that, you have done your best back then, you can protect the safety of Fengyang City, you have already made significant contributions, how can you have your responsibility." ”
Gu Chen didn't argue, he pondered for a while, and said, "Master Mu, do you mean that you want me to go to Jingyang City to get rid of the ghost three?"
"If there is no problem, then you had better take this task, because I still believe in your strength, if it is someone else, I really don't feel at ease, after all, there are not a few dragon and tiger guards who were killed by the ghost three in Qingfeng Mansion, and there are many masters among them. ”
"This is naturally no problem, but this is the one that kills the ghost three ....... ”
"Rest assured. As if he knew what Gu Chen was going to say, Mu Zhengtian waved his hand and said, "Ghost Three has been occupying the top three positions on the wanted list of Qingfeng Mansion for many years, if you can kill him, then I will directly record your 120,000 meritorious deeds." ”
120,000 meritorious deeds?
Hearing this number, Gu Chen couldn't help but glare, so much?
However, when he saw Mu Zhengtian's eyes, he instantly understood that the reason why Mu Zhengtian had set so many merits for him was probably not only because the ghost three were worth so much.
After all, he eradicated the Xuanyin Sect's rudder in Fengyang City, and did not receive the slightest reward, although he exchanged the credit for that time as a condition for coming to Qingfeng Mansion, but he and Mu Zhengtian knew that bringing him to Qingfeng Mansion was not a reward, and this time so many meritorious deeds were set because of his reward for destroying the Xuanyin Sect.
The two prizes were combined.
Gu Chen felt that Mu Zhengtian was indeed a candidate to be the commander, because if he couldn't finish it, he wouldn't be able to see it at all, even if it was for the 120,000 merits, he would kill the ghost three.
Gu Chen smiled and nodded, not breaking it, "Okay, since Lord Mu has entrusted me with this task, then I will definitely come to see you with the head of the ghost three." ”
"That's fine. Mu Zhengtian patted Gu Chen's shoulder with satisfaction, he was just about to return to the seat above the main hall, when he suddenly stopped and said, "By the way, don't rush overnight today, let's stay on the mountain first, and wait until tomorrow dawn before you can cross the Heigang Wind." ”
Gu Chen nodded, "Thank you for reminding me, then I will stay on the mountain tonight." ”
Out of Mu Zhengtian's main hall, Gu Chen wanted to go to the small building he had last time in Hutou Camp to stay overnight, but he found that Ah Jin, who brought him here, did not leave at all.
"What did you do?"
Gu Chen shook the file in his hand and said, "It's the third ghost." ”
"Ghost Three?" Ah Jin subconsciously frowned, "This is indeed a scourge, over the years, we have surrounded and suppressed him many times, and we have never been able to successfully kill him, but after the loss of the silver corpse, his combat effectiveness is definitely not as good as before." ”
Gu Chen nodded, "Indeed, if there is a silver corpse, the three ghosts are indeed more difficult, but." As soon as the words changed, Gu Chen suddenly stopped.
Ah Jin looked at Gu Chen strangely and said, "But what?"
"Tell me the truth. Gu Chen stared into Ah Jin's eyes and said, "Is there something wrong with you?"
After Gu Chen unconsciously became the Dragon Envoy, Ah Jin would please himself, because he was not that kind of person, if there was nothing to do, why did he wait for him outside the main hall?
Unexpectedly, Gu Chen actually saw his intentions, Ah Jin looked around and said, "Actually, I do have something to tell you, but this is not a place to talk, you come with me." ”
Seeing Ah Jin so mysterious and cautious, Gu Chen's heart suddenly had a bad premonition, could it be that something happened?
A quiet and elegant small building, and only after Gu Chen entered, Ah Jin closed the doors and windows.
Ah Jin's caution made Gu Chen's heart more and more uneasy, and he said in a deep voice, "Brother Jin, what happened?"
Ah Jin didn't answer, but asked rhetorically, "Gu Chen, do you know a person named Lao Wu?"
Old Wu?
Gu Chen's eyes narrowed suddenly.
