Senior brother, stop it, you are the villain!

Chapter 359 Tianlei City

After a long conversation, the two finally decided on the future development path of Ziqing Holy Land.

Reform! Must reform!

While Tang Fei was trying to digest the reform plan pointed out by Feng Shao, Chu Qing finally started to make some moves.

For a long time, Chu Qing had treated Gu Sheng as a housekeeper, and Gu Sheng was responsible for all the big and small things inside and outside. And all he needed to do was to practice, and flirt with girls everywhere...

This time, Gu Sheng was still responsible for recruiting forces for Chu Qing again, but the effect was far less than before. The reason was that Chu Qing's reputation was getting worse and worse.

The so-called "the righteous have many supporters, and the unrighteous have few supporters." This is not a cliché, but a fact. No matter how many people shout "If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth", in the final analysis, this kind of words is just an excuse for their own behavior. If they can choose, no one wants to find such a person as an ally. It is enough for one selfish person to have himself, and everyone except himself should be a gentleman.

Chu Qing has always thought so and done so. But no one is a fool, and it is impossible to let Chu Qing have whatever he wants. When Chu Qing is no longer useful, they are no longer willing to surround Chu Qing and perform a drama of "many hands make the flames high".

So it didn't take long before the various forces that Gu Sheng had finally won over left this interest group with various excuses. This made Gu Sheng, who worked hard, have the urge to vomit blood.

In fact, no matter how capable Gu Sheng is, she is essentially a girl of only 19 years old. Deep in her heart, she also longs for the romantic love of "one life, one couple", hoping that someone can provide her with a warm embrace when she is tired.

But Chu Qing is obviously not the person in her dream.

While Gu Sheng was busy recruiting forces, Chu Qing was flirting with Yang Youqing.

While Gu Sheng was busy managing his forces, Chu Qing was busy flirting with girls everywhere.

While Gu Sheng was busy wandering between various forces, Chu Qing was causing trouble everywhere.

Gu Sheng was asked to do all the work, and Chu Qing would only praise Gu Sheng a few words after he had done everything, and then say a few words of hard work, and then accept it all with peace of mind.

If Chu Qing had always been the unshakable favored son of heaven, Gu Sheng might really accept his fate. But after Feng Shao intervened, the weakness hidden under Chu Qing's protagonist halo was exposed.

For Gu Sheng, this is both a crisis and an opportunity.

Crisis refers to the crisis of being implicated by Chu Qing; opportunity refers to the opportunity to get rid of Chu Qing.

Originally, Gu Sheng's plan was to use Chu Qing's last bit of influence to get more chips for the Gu family. But as Chu Qing's reputation continued to deteriorate, this plan seemed to be becoming more and more illusory.

Just when Gu Sheng was about to give up, a turning point suddenly appeared.

This turning point came from Chongyang Sword Sect and Xuanlei Sect.

The tragic defeat of Chongyang Sword Sect and Xuanlei Sect was already known to everyone in Beizhou. Nowadays, most of the disciples of Chongyang Sword Sect and Xuanlei Sect are hiding in the sect, but this level of sect is not just a mountain.

Outside the main mountain, the two major sects each have hundreds of strongholds, which are the so-called "branch rudders". These strongholds are usually used to provide help to the disciples passing by, or to provide contact channels for those who need to contact the main mountain. Of course, these strongholds often have to take into account the task of collecting intelligence, but this kind of thing is usually done in private, and it is not appropriate to put it out in public.

The disciples of the main mountain can't come out, but the outer strongholds have begun to move around for the situation of the sect.

They contacted the sects and forces that are friendly with the sect everywhere, trying to break the situation from this aspect. After their efforts, many families really gathered together and began to discuss countermeasures.

The Tiangang Sword Sect is already powerful, and with the blessing of Wuling City's weapons, it is even more powerful and invincible. Although these families don't know what happened at the foot of Chongyang Mountain and Xuanlei Mountain, they can see the clues from the fact that the two major sects are closed.

These noble families are die-hard fans of the two major sects, and they are old vassals who have followed the two major sects for hundreds or even thousands of years. They all know that if the Chongyang Sword Sect and the Xuanlei Sect cannot win this conflict, then they will never have a good ending in the end.

The current Tiangang Sword Sect is focusing on dealing with the Chongyang Sword Sect and the Xuanlei Sect, and at the same time guarding against the demon sect forces of the Shura Dao who may take action at any time, so they can't take care of them for the time being. However, the noble families under the Tiangang Sword Sect have been attacking them these days.

In the continuous conflicts, the noble families of the relatively weak Chongyang Xuanlei side have been hit continuously, and have lost a lot of resources and territories one after another. If this continues, they will not be able to hold on without waiting for the Tiangang Sword Sect to withdraw its hands.

But the reality is such a reality, and how to break the situation really makes them rack their brains.

A group of people gathered together and discussed for several days in a row without any result. Until someone suddenly said: "The Tiangang Sword Sect did not attack for no reason. Can't we think of a way to get to the root of the problem?"

As soon as these words came out, they were immediately reminded.

Yes! Although they originally had conflicts with the Tiangang Sword Sect, these conflicts have always been hidden in the dark. Even if they were to trip them up, they would do it secretly and never openly. Now the Tiangang Sword Sect is going to war against the Chongyang Xuanlei Sect. What is the purpose? Isn't it just to vent the anger of the Ziqing Holy Land!

As for interests? They really don't think that the Tiangang Sword Sect is a sect that values ​​interests. On the one hand, the Tiangang Sword Sect has always been upright and well-known; on the other hand, the resources controlled by the Tiangang Sword Sect are already enough, and if there are more, the Tiangang Sword Sect will not be able to control them.

So all the contradictions originated from the war that besieged the Ziqing Holy Land. If you want to break the deadlock, I'm afraid you have to start from this aspect.

They besieged the Ziqing Holy Land under the banner of Chu Qing. And Chu Qing was also the leader of that war, at least the nominal leader. Although the war has ended for many days, he has not stepped down as the leader yet! Now is the right time for this leader to show his face!

Afterwards, the Chongyang Sword Sect and the Xuanlei Sect sent invitations to Chu Qing in the name of Yang Hao and Gong Shenglong respectively. The moment Chu Qing received the invitation, he immediately jumped out of Yang Youqing's gentle embrace and laughed wildly.

"Hahahaha! Brother Yang, Brother Gong, I didn't expect that in the end, you still had to ask for help from me, your third brother!"

Chu Qing didn't think much about this invitation. He is the son of luck, and he has been smooth sailing all the way. Everyone has to give him face, and there are people supporting him wherever he goes. He has long been accustomed to the feeling of being praised everywhere, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it.

He immediately took Gu Sheng and Yang Youqing on a spirit boat and flew thousands of miles to the meeting place specified in the invitation.

The meeting place is a large city called "Tianlei City". The city lord is Lei Guang, the patriarch of the Lei family, a vassal family of the Xuanlei Sect.

The ancestor of the Lei family was just an unknown orphan in his early years, the kind without even a name. Later, by chance, he joined the Xuanlei Sect and became an inner disciple of the Xuanlei Sect. Because of his gratitude for his master's kindness, he took Lei as his surname. Later, he went down the mountain after completing his studies, married and had children, founded the Lei family, and naturally became a vassal family of the Xuanlei Sect.

With the support of the Xuanlei Sect, the Lei family established Tianlei City and controlled many important resource points for the Xuanlei Sect, providing a steady stream of resources for the Xuanlei Sect. In addition, a large number of Lei's disciples also joined the Xuanlei Sect and became inner disciples of the Xuanlei Sect. For the Xuanlei Sect, the Lei family is a die-hard loyalist who will never betray, so they will think of Tianlei City first for some important activities.

It is worth mentioning that the brothers and sisters Lei Xin and Lei Miao, among the thirteen hall masters of Yunjian Pavilion, also came from the Lei family. But their branch was abandoned by the Lei family in the early years and was forced to go to Dongzhou. After several ups and downs, this branch once developed into a large local family.

But later, they encountered a dramatic change, and the Lei brothers and sisters lost all their relatives overnight. In order to avenge this blood feud, the two joined the Tianxin Sect. Later, in the conflict with Lin Fengtian and Xiao Ruoyao, the brothers and sisters were gradually convinced by Lin Fengtian and Xiao Ruoyao, and became the first original Tianxin Sect members to join Lin Fengtian's camp after Xiao Ruoyao and Leng Lingyue.

Therefore, the Lei brothers and sisters have never had a good impression of Xuanlei Sect and Tianlei City, and the entire Yunjian Pavilion has a bad relationship with Xuanlei Sect.

Chu Qing and the other three were personally received by Lei Guang, the lord of Tianlei City, as soon as they landed. Facing Lei Guang, Chu Qing looked polite on the surface, but his words always showed an arrogant attitude, whether intentionally or unintentionally. Lei Guang has been in charge of Tianlei City for many years and is also a shrewd person. How could he not hear the contempt in Chu Qing's words? However, the matter was of great importance. Although he was dissatisfied, he could only force a smile and be respectful to Chu Qing.

In order to serve this "leader" well, Lei Guang held a banquet for Chu Qing in the City Lord's Mansion. The banquet was full of rare delicacies. Chu Qing and the two girls feasted at the banquet. After three rounds of wine, Chu Qing picked up the dishes slowly and smiled at Lei Guang: "Lei City Lord, we are old acquaintances. You are so polite to me, which makes me feel a little uneasy!"

Lei Guang couldn't help twitching his mouth when he heard this. Uneasy? I really didn't see it.

Lei Guang hurriedly said, "Brother Chu, what are you talking about? You are our leader. If I am not polite to you, who should I be polite to? Don't you think this is reasonable?"

Chu Qing sighed and said, "Lord Lei, do you really think I am still a leader? If I am really a leader, why is there no one willing to listen to me these days?"

Lei Guang secretly thought: Calling you a leader, do you really think you are an emperor?

Their alliance, in the final analysis, is just a loose interest group. It is natural that they will disperse when the benefits are gone. As for Chu Qing, he is just the one they chose to take the bullet and use him as a scapegoat at a critical moment. But looking at Chu Qing's posture, it seems that he has not felt that there is anything wrong with his status until now.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Gu Sheng, who had been sitting on the left of Chu Qing and kept silent. Gu Sheng is a smart woman with a gentle heart and may have noticed it. But she didn't say anything to Chu Qing, so maybe there is something to be done about it.

So Lei Guang pretended to sigh and said: "Brother Chu, you don't know something. After the battle that day, we aristocratic families were busy dealing with some post-war trivial matters. The trivial matters were not big, but they were so complicated that they were really a mess. . After everything was finally dealt with, Feng Shao suddenly appeared and started causing trouble with some strange weapons. Later, the Tiangang Sword Sect started a war with us, which made us even more anxious."

Speaking of this, Lei Guang said with a bitter look on his face: "Brother Chu, to be honest, this Tiangang Sword Sect has so many people and so many people that we can't handle it. For the current plan, we can only stick together to keep warm. , Confronted with the Tiangang Sword Sect!"

Lei Guang's words directly shifted the topic to Feng Shao and Tiangang Sword Sect. Because he knows that Chu Qing has always been narrow-minded. If anyone makes him suffer, he will have to kill the whole family. As for Feng Shao and Tiangang Sword Sect, Chu Qing once suffered two big losses. Chu Qing must have hated Feng Shao and Tiangang Sword Sect for a long time.

Sure enough, when he heard these two names, Chu Qing's face immediately darkened, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Feng Shao and the Tiangang Sword Sect deceive me, Chu Qing, and I, Chu Qing, will destroy them sooner or later!"

The corners of Lei Guang's mouth twitched, and he didn't know how to answer these words for a moment. It sounds like destroying Wuling City depends on some skills, but destroying the Tiangang Sword Sect is just for fun!

Lei Guang would not damage Chu Qing's self-confidence at this time. And out of the need to let Chu Qing come out to carry the flag, he had to support Chu Qing and make Chu Qing full of confidence. He rolled his eyes, followed Chu Qing's intention, slapped the table, and put on a posture of indignation: "Brother Chu is right! Who is Feng Shao? How dare you disturb Tai Sui? It's just a living thing." I’m getting impatient!”

Then, he patted his chest again and said: "Brother Chu, don't worry, I, Tianlei City, will definitely vent this evil anger on you!"
