Chapter 167 The Hidden Threat

"Cao Ying!" Luo Feng said in a deep voice.

"Cao Ying?" Hearing this name, Gu Chen suddenly looked puzzled, and really couldn't remember who this person was.

The main reason is that he killed too many people, how could he remember the names of so many people who died under his hands.

Seeing this, Luo Feng felt a little helpless, and said, "Brother Gu, this Cao Ying is Cao Zhen's guard, and was sent by Marquis Ping Xi to protect Cao Zhen's safety."

Hearing this, Gu Chen suddenly realized who Cao Ying was.

On his way from Tiandu to Qiongtian Mansion, Cao Ying led a group of people to besiege him, and Gu Chen beheaded all of them afterwards.

Since it was Cao Ying who offered a reward for himself in the Bloody Clothes Building, it couldn't have been Cao Ying's own intention, and it could only be Cao Zhen who sent him there.

In this way, Gu Chen felt that Cao Zhen's death was not wronged, and he had already murdered him.

Seeing Gu Chen's indifferent look, Luo Feng reminded him: "Brother Gu, don't feel indifferent, no matter how you say it, in Ping Xihou's opinion, you are inseparable from Cao Zhen's death. After all, Cao Zhen died with you There are complaints."

After saying this, Luo Feng took a deep look at Gu Chen. Regarding the grievances between Gu Chen and Cao Zhen, he also investigated clearly during this period of time. With Gu Chen's character, if Cao Ying's Death had nothing to do with Gu Chen, Luo Feng would never believe it.

Hearing this, Gu Chen also frowned, he could see Luo Feng's thoughts naturally, after all, Luo Feng didn't hide anything, even Luo Feng guessed that Cao Zhen's death might have something to do with Gu Chen, let alone a scheming heart Unfathomable Ping Xihou.

Gu Chen is very suspicious now, Ping Xihou, do you also think that Gu Chen intentionally killed Cao Zhen?
Or in other words, after investigating what happened, whether Ping Xihou can find out that Cao is really dead is mainly due to Gu Chen.

This is something Gu Chen has to consider.

After all, Marquis Pingxi is very powerful. Although he sits at the border all the year round, there are quite a few people who support him in the court. Moreover, not to mention other things, the border of Yanzhou border alone is managed by Marquis Pingxi. , even if Yanzhou's guardian envoy goes, his words may not be as effective as Marquis Pingxi.

It can be said that there, Pingxihou is the king, the emperor of the earth, and he alone has the final say on everything at the border. He has hundreds of thousands of loyal and elite troops under his command, and his strength can be said to be extremely powerful.

Moreover, even Ping Xihou himself is not weak in cultivation, at least in the Realm Returning Realm, maybe even higher, and it is not impossible to reach the realm of Martial Dao Grandmaster.

It's just that since Emperor Xia retreated, he hasn't come to Shenzhou to report his duties in Beijing for a long time, and few people know about his specific situation.

Gu Chen also read some dossiers about Marquis Pingxi in Jingtiansi, and knew that this man had deep plans and cruel methods. If he found out that it was Gu Chen who killed his only son-in-law, he would definitely not let Gu Chen go.

There is no shot now, it can only be explained that the right time has not yet come.

Gu Chen frowned slightly, if Luo Feng hadn't pointed it out, Gu Chen would never have imagined that there was already an enemy hiding in the dark, watching him covetously.

However, even if Gu Zhongzhong was given a chance to go back to the original scene, he would never hesitate, and would still kill Cao Zhen just like the previous choice.

After all, at that time, Cao Zhen was too dangerous. If Gu Chen left Tiandu, Cao Zhen would definitely find a way to do something to his second uncle Gu Chengfeng's family.

And it is impossible for Gu Chen, as the inspector of Jingtian Division, to stay by the side of the second uncle's family all the time.

Furthermore, at that time, Cao Zhen already had the idea of ​​targeting Gu Chen and wanted to kill Gu Chen. If Gu Chen didn't take the initiative to attack, when Cao Zhen was fully prepared, he might be the one who died.

"Brother Gu, Marquis Pingxi is not an ordinary person. According to my Hongchenlou information, he has been accumulating strength over the years, as if he is preparing something in secret. You must be careful in everything." Luo Feng said solemnly. warned.

Gu Chen nodded. He already knew the threat of Marquis Pingxi. It's just that he has made great achievements in Jingtiansi when he is in full swing. He has also shown his great talent. There is no evidence. Even if Hou wanted to move Gu Chen, it was absolutely impossible, neither Jing Tiansi nor Da Xia would agree.

Ping Xihou is definitely not that stupid, he dared to turn against Da Xia just because of Gu Chen.

The reason why he sent his only son-in-law to Tiandu was that besides wanting Cao Zhen to accumulate his contacts for the future, there was another unavoidable reason.

That is, because he has not entered Beijing for a long time, many ministers and dignitaries in Da Xia are suspicious of his intentions, even the crown prince.

After all, now that the Emperor Renhuang can't retreat, the world is already undercurrent and turbulent, and with the birth of the Liuhe God Sect, the situation in Kyushu is even more treacherous. If Marquis Pingxi has other thoughts, then for Daxia, Definitely a huge hit.

If the Emperor is here, Ping Xihou will naturally not, and he will not dare to have other thoughts, but now, the Emperor is not here, Ping Xihou holds great power, and he is at the border. It's hard for Daxia to know what.

And Ping Xihou probably also knew Daxia's fear of him, so he sent his only son to Tiandu in time. provoke.

But if Marquis Pingxi dared to have second thoughts, Cao Zhen's life would be in doubt.

But now that Cao Zhen is dead, Marquis Pingxi has no scruples. This is also the reason why Duke Huai said in the court that this matter should be resolved by himself.

Now in the entire Great Xia, apart from the supervisor of Qin Tianjian, only Duke Huai can hold Ping Xihou down.

As for Jingtiansi and Mingjingsi, Pingxihou knows that Jingtiansi monitors the world, and now that the world is in turmoil, Jingtiansi has no time to deal with him. As for Mingjingsi, he has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and Mingjingsi has not many people. , It is not so easy to deal with him, unless it is the four major supervisors.

Of course, the main reason is that the chief commander of the Jingtian Division and the mirror master of the Mirror Division are not here.

All in all, within a short period of time, Marquis Ping Xi will definitely not attack Gu Chen. Of course, this is on the surface, but secretly, Gu Chen is not very afraid.

Because although Marquis Pingxi is powerful, Yanzhou and Shenzhou belong to two big states after all, and they are far apart. It is not as easy as imagined to secretly persecute Gu Chen.

In the final analysis, it is still time, as long as Gu Chen is given time, Gu Chen firmly believes that he will definitely not be afraid of anyone.

At this moment, Gu Chen looked at Luo Feng and said, "You just said that two people offered a reward to me in the Bloody Clothes Building, one is Cao Ying, and who is the other?"

Luo Feng heard the words and said: "I don't know the specific identity of the other person, he hides it very well, but I know that this person is very likely to be a local force in Qiongtian Mansion."

Hearing this, a cold light flashed in Gu Chen's eyes, and when Luo Feng said this, he could vaguely guess who, other than Cao Ying, was offering a reward to him in the Bloody Clothes Building.

Not surprisingly, nine out of ten are the Sunset Sword Sect!

Only Sunset Sword Sect had the courage and ability to contact Xueyilou, and dared to offer him a reward.

"Brother Gu has any guesses?" Luo Feng looked at Gu Chen and asked.

Gu Chen said indifferently: "It's probably not far from ten."

To be honest, Gu Chen was really grateful to Luo Feng, if it wasn't for Luo Feng, he would have no way of knowing that it was the two parties who offered him a reward in the Bloody Clothes Building.

Gu Chen also thought about telling Jing Tiansi about this matter, but Cao Ying is dead, and Cao Zhen is also dead. This matter has nothing to do with Marquis Ping Xi, and it is impossible for the court to question Marquis Ping Xi because of him. Even Shen is pretty good.

As for the Sunset Sword Sect, if there is no solid evidence to prove it, Jing Tiansi will not easily touch the top forces in Kyushu like the Sunset Sword Sect.

Especially at this sensitive juncture, Jing Tiansi would definitely be dragged into a war with the Sunset Sword Sect. At that time, the Devil's Sect and ghosts would have an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Of course, if Gu Chen could find conclusive evidence to prove that it was someone from the Sunset Sword Sect who offered a reward to him in the Bloody Clothes Building, then Jing Tiansi would strike like a thunderbolt. will be questioned by the world.

At that time, the Liuhe God Sect might also come out to make troubles.

Ever since the Human Sovereign retreated, the Six Harmonies Sect reappeared, and the calamity of demons and ghosts became more and more serious, the current Jing Tiansi is no longer what it used to be.

Because of being involved in too many things.

Gu Chen's expression was stern and his eyes were deep. One day, he would personally board the Sunset Sword Sect and break through their mountain gate.

"This time, I really thank you very much." Gu Chen sincerely thanked Luo Feng, and said: "In the future, whenever you find me useful, please speak up at any time."

When Luo Feng heard this, he immediately laughed and said, "Brother Gu, then I won't be polite."

Gu Chen was noncommittal, and said, "Of course it's okay, but that's in the future. Now, you still have to tell me where the thirteen strongholds of Xueyilou are in Qiongtian Mansion."

Immediately, Luo Feng suppressed his smile, took out the map, and pointed out to Gu Chen the locations of the thirteen strongholds of Xueyilou in Qiongtian Mansion one by one.

"Xueyilou is really courageous!" After Luo Feng pointed it out one by one, Gu Chen immediately raised his sword eyebrows, his eyes were extremely piercing.

There is no other, just because, inside Qiongtian City, there is actually a stronghold of Xueyilou, right under the nose of the City Lord's Mansion.

It has to be said that the most dangerous place is the safest place. It seems that there are many people in the Bloody Clothes Building who are well aware of this truth.

"You wait for me here, I will go back as soon as I go."

After saying this, Gu Chen went back to the back room and changed his clothes, then went directly to Wen Ziyun, the head of Qiongtian Mansion, explained his purpose of coming, and asked him to mobilize the army to encircle and suppress the Bloody Clothes Building.

Wen Ziyun was very drunk last night, and today he just woke up under the service of the maid, and was taking a shower when Gu Chen came, which immediately gave him a big jump.

Hearing that Gu Chen wanted to destroy the Bloody Clothes Building, Wen Ziyun naturally would not disagree, and Dang even sent someone to notify the garrison of Qiongtian City, and everything was under Gu Chen's command.

Gu Chen acted resolutely, and after Wen Ziyun agreed, he turned and left.

In fact, even with Gu Chen himself, with his current strength, he could wipe out the stronghold of Xueyilou by himself, but now that there are people around, he doesn't need to do everything by himself.

Wen Ziyun looked at Gu Chen's back, and murmured: "Master Gu, you really don't stop. If you don't do something for a day, you will feel uncomfortable all over, right?"

After finishing speaking, he shook his head and continued to wash up under the service of the maid beside him. The hangover from last night gave him a headache until now.

At this time, Wen Ziyun really felt that having a certain level of martial arts cultivation was good, at least his body was strong enough, and he wouldn't have this kind of problem if he drank too much.

On the other side, Gu Chen was dressed in black clothes, with sword-shaped brows and a long sword on his waist, and immediately left the City Lord's Mansion with Luo Feng.

Outside the city lord's mansion, the garrison under Wen Ziyun's order moved very quickly. It didn't take long before dozens of people gathered here. This was also Gu Chen's order. The number of people does not need to be too many, these are enough. Wen Ziyun's respect for Gu Chen Naturally, there will be no second-guessing instructions, what Gu Chen says, he just does.

"set off!"

Gu Chen's face was cold and stern, he got on the horse, his hair was flying in the wind, he waved his palm, and immediately ordered, dozens of soldiers immediately started to move, and followed behind Gu Chen very neatly.
