The incident at the tea shop was so serious that it was reported to the local government.
If in peacetime, manpower is relatively sufficient, and a case involving a missing person occurs within the jurisdiction, the government will send additional manpower to solve the case for the sake of prestige—the person will be seen alive, and the body will be seen dead!
However, the current situation is special, similar vicious incidents have increased sharply in a short period of time, and the government's manpower is obviously not enough. The search manpower was insufficient, and the investigation progress was slow. Even after all the busy work, no trace of the perpetrators was found in the tea shop, let alone the proprietress.
A discerning person can tell at a glance that the landlady is in danger.
I can’t help but feel a little regretful.
This lady boss’s tea shop is very famous in the local area.
The tea she sells is made of solid ingredients and is of high quality and low price, but she is more famous for her appearance, temperament, talent and temperament.
At the beginning of the tea shop’s opening, many tea customers came because of the beauty of the proprietress. As time passed, those who came here because of her reputation gradually discovered that the landlady was well-spoken and knowledgeable, and many of her insights were inspiring even to famous local talents.
Gradually, this tea shop gained a reputation.
It became a place where local literati came to hang out.
I heard that many people admired the landlady. Several times, some helpers came to her door to talk about matchmaking. There were even wealthy gentry who were willing to accept the position of their first wife. It's a pity that the landlady remains affectionate and can't forget her deceased husband. The more she is like this, the more literati appreciate her single-mindedness, affection and loyalty. They lament that a wife is like this, what more can a husband ask for. Those who cannot get married dare not take advantage of the pressure.
The landlady’s tea shop has just established itself.
Who could have expected such a tragedy to happen.
“Oh, God is jealous of beauty...”
Everyone agreed not to mention the situation and outcome of the landlady.
With such beauty, how could the villain who took her away be so soft-hearted?
As for what’s on your mind?
Only they know that.
The onlookers felt sorry for a while, and the excitement gradually dissipated. Among the crowd, a tall and burly man also put a bamboo hat on his head, looked away from the tea shop, lowered his head and disappeared into the crowd. Gong Cheng didn't expect the boss lady to have such a sense of crisis, so she ran away without hesitation. There are still unsolved doubts in his mind, and he will ask the other party again when they meet next time.
With Gong Cheng’s strength, it won’t take much time to go back and forth.
However, it did take a while for him to come out this time.
Gong Cheng had just returned to his tent, and his calm gaze fell accurately on the darkness inside the tent. Then he turned his back and lit the candle with his martial spirit. As the soft light dispersed the darkness, a pair of dark eyes were revealed, which contained anger.
The other party said in a strange tone: "General Gong is really dignified. As a general, he abandoned his soldiers at will and left without saying a word for five or six days. People who didn't know it thought you had collaborated with the enemy."
Gong Cheng didn’t take these words to heart.
It is normal for the other party to be resentful.
Beimo’s senior management couldn’t control Gong Cheng and didn’t dare to control him, but they didn’t have to worry about embarrassing others. During his absence, the other party probably got scolded a lot. Those who suffer unreasonable disasters and yet do not feel resentful can only be saints: "I am a general in name only, and I have neither soldiers nor generals under my command. I have no opinion and cannot give any advice on whatever combat strategy they set. The army is drawn out." Just let me know when the camp starts and tell me what to do. It doesn’t make any difference whether you are there or not.”
Gong Cheng has experience in displaying junk.
He spoke confidently and calmly, but the people listening were furious: "Gong Yunchi, don't you plan to explain yourself?"
Gong Cheng asked: "What do you want to tell me?"
“Where have you been these past few days?”
“Liu Guan, this has nothing to do with you.”
The woman in black clothes, known as Liu Guan, pressed the hilt of her sword and stepped forward, squinting: "If you don't answer, will I not know? As the general of the Northern Desert, why are you going to Kunzhou at this juncture?"
Gong Cheng was not surprised that his whereabouts were exposed.
The Liu Guan in front of me has always been thoughtful and scheming. She has a high status in Brother Tude's account and has a lot of available people. She still doesn't deal with herself, and it's normal for her to keep an eye on her whereabouts. Perhaps, Liu Guan's move was not entirely for personal vendetta.
Tudege has also criticized him a lot in recent years.
Today's Brother Tude is no longer a humble proton, and has survived the difficult years of thin political capital. Gong Cheng is still important to him, but he is no longer as indispensable as a life-saver.
It is difficult to say that Liu Guan's behavior was not inspired by Tu Dege.
Gong Cheng said: "Handling private matters."
When Liu Guan saw Gong Cheng using this excuse again, he felt even colder in his heart: "That day when Jinli County failed, General Gong also used 'private matters' to excuse himself. Your 'private matters' were to meet a widowed man. Woman? Are you meeting an old lover? "
Gong Cheng didn’t expect that she could even check this level.
A kind reminder: "Stay away from that woman."
Although the landlady was an ordinary person and did not have the special abilities of a scribe or warrior, Gong Cheng never thought that being able to contact people from the inner circle of the Gods Society was really ordinary. Even if you put aside this identity, your last job was as a butcher shop.
Compared to killing chickens and ducks, washing hands and making soup, people are better at peeling off human skin, and they are still as good as peeling off a whole human skin in one go. This ability requires talent, and more importantly, "diligence and hard work" to achieve the level of "practice makes perfect".
It is not impossible that literary scholars fell into the hands of ordinary people.
Liu Guan thought Gong Cheng was protecting the boss’s wife.
He sneered and said: "Why are you so anxious? I really didn't expect that General Gong, who was indifferent to the beauty rewarded by Beimo and was sober and stoic to the outside world, turned out not to be really uninterested in beauty but to belong to his heart. I just mentioned it Just one sentence and you panic?"
"If you are not afraid of death, you can try to touch her." Gong Cheng could not stop the person who insisted on seeking death. "But I can't guarantee what kind of consequences it will cause. Also, tell Weng Zhi this. Let's He should not focus on one thing at the expense of the other, and make a mistake in what is important at the moment.”
Liu Guan's expression changed for a moment: "I will convey it to you."
After a while, the camp returned to peace.
Gong Cheng took a quick shower and then went to practice.
He doesn't care whether Brother Tude will listen to the advice.
In the past, Brother Tude would be cautious, but now he is hard to say, and his power and status will change him beyond recognition.
After Gong Cheng had circulated for more than ten weeks, he exhaled a breath of turbid air and stopped practicing. It wasn't that he didn't want to continue, but there was a breath nearby that forced him to stop. This breath was unfamiliar, but it vaguely sent a chill down his spine.
Gong Cheng has not experienced this feeling for many years.
He stood up calmly and walked out of the tent.
At this moment, the bright moon is like water, like a light silver-white gauze draped over the human body, giving people a sense of loneliness and coldness. Gong Cheng had no intention of admiring the beautiful scenery of the wilderness, and cast his sharp eyes on the owner of the aura - this man was dressed in a bright silver robe, with a hint of blue in his snow-white hair, and his whole body exuded a hazy light. He was very young and could be said to be outstanding. , but his eyes looked old and inconsistent with his appearance.
“Are you his descendant?”
This person's voice is also very strange.
At first glance it sounds very young, but if you listen carefully it reveals the vicissitudes of life.
There is an indescribable weirdness everywhere.
Gong Cheng had seen this kind of weirdness in another person before.
Gong Cheng also quickly realized who the "him" the other party was talking about was, and the horror in his heart was not enough to describe in words. He reluctantly calmed down, but when he came back to his senses, he found that the clothes on his back were wet with sweat that had appeared at an unknown time, and his throat was dry.
He licked his lips nervously.
The visitor asked indifferently: "Otherwise? The aura on your body is so strong that I can't ignore it. I never expected that the reunion of old friends would take place like this. I never expected that the stingy iron rooster would actually be willing to use this method to find someone. He knows how much the other party values cultivation."
Gong Cheng didn't respond, but his heart was filled with turmoil - the person in front of him was the foreign aid Mrs. Shen said, and he didn't run away. I have thought about many possibilities, but I never thought of this.
Gong Cheng got straight to the point: "Why did you suddenly come out?"
The visitor said: "You might as well take a guess."
Gong Cheng then guessed: "The Gods Association? But as far as the junior knows, the seniors and the Gods Association had some grudges in the past, right?"
They don’t like the meeting of gods.
A typical example is the person who gave Gong Cheng [the enlightenment].
This senior’s hatred of the Society of Gods is second only to the Gongxi Clan. If one day he is in a good mood and thinks of his ancestors who also came from the Gongxi Clan, the Society of Gods can be tied with the Gongxi Clan as the existence he hates most. Before he died, he muttered curses such as "We were all deceived, we were all deceived" and "Jimo Xing will not die well" - that senior was seriously injured by Jimo Xing, who was from the Gongxi clan. His limbs were imprisoned in a prison called "Dragon Tomb Mountain" for decades at a time.
Gong Cheng later found out that besides the unlucky senior, there were four others who had also been deceived, and each of them was an old monster with unpredictable strength. But apart from the Association of Gods, he could not think of any other person or organization that would be so proud to ask for help.
It is not entirely true that it means coming out of the mountain.
The aura of the person in front of me is stronger than mine, but not so strong that I can't compare to him. The other person should be an incarnation of a spirit.
It is also an incarnation that is seventy-eight times as powerful as the original one.
This is enough to show the other party's determination to support the Northern Desert.
The visitor just laughed: "People's likes and dislikes are not fixed. Yesterday's enemies can be today's allies, not to mention those enemies who were enemies a hundred years ago. No matter how great the hatred is, it is vulnerable to time..."
But his intuition told Gong Cheng that things were not that simple.
Did the person in front of me also realize that he had been deceived?
Just when Gong Cheng was secretly guessing, the man suddenly asked: "Did he feel unwilling when he died?"
Gong Cheng: “It’s not very peaceful.”
The face is full of ferocity and hatred!
The man sneered: "Does that mean you will never die with your eyes in peace?"
Gong Cheng didn't dare to say anything at the moment, because the aura lingering around the other party was a sign of the coming storm, and beneath the calm surface was a turbulent undercurrent: "What other last words does he have?"
Without waiting for Gong Cheng to answer anything, the man said to himself: "Should I ask you to kill all the Gongxi clan and leave no one behind?"
These words directly confirmed Gong Cheng’s guess.
The other party really knew that he had been deceived for a hundred years.
Gong Cheng simply admitted: "Yeah."
The man asked: "What's the result?"
Gong Cheng replied: "We met unexpectedly a while ago and had a fight. Although there are only two people left in this clan, it is difficult to deal with them."
"Besides Gong Xiqiu, there is another person? Who?"
Gong Xiqiu was quite famous in the Northwest Continent a few years ago.
Gong Cheng nodded: "Looking at the methods used by the other party, it should be the rumored high priest of the Gongxi clan. His methods are treacherous."
Hand-on strength is unclear, but escaping is really powerful.
It would be difficult to catch these two people without planning in advance.
There was finally a glimmer in the man's eyes, and Gong Cheng was startled by the flash of cold light: "The high priest of the Gongxi clan... haha, it is really difficult to deal with..."
He asked again: "Is there any news about them?"
Gong Cheng also had a bad attitude when it came to hunting down the descendants of the Gongxi clan. He would just do it if he encountered them, but he would not actively look for them if he did not encounter them. At present, there is no need to look for it deliberately. According to the intelligence, Gong Xiqiu became Shen Tang's general.
It is bound to appear on the battlefields of the two countries.
You just need to wait and see.
The news has not spread yet, but as foreign aid, the people who come here will know it sooner or later, and Gong Cheng has no need to hide it: "Gongxi Qiu is loyal to Kang State, and is probably the vanguard general in this battle. As for the mysterious high priest, currently There is no accurate information yet, but according to my guess, there is a high probability that he will fight for Gong Xiqiu."
There is no need to run to find it, it will be delivered to your door automatically.
“Just ended it together.”
The visitor is unconvinced about this result.
Compared to Gong Xi Chou, who is not as powerful as Gong Cheng, he is more afraid of the high priest of the Gong Xi tribe. Even though these people are more gentle on the surface and seem to be able to defeat them with just one punch, in their bones, each one is more crazy than the other and they are desperate at every turn. .
but-
Judging from Gong Cheng’s description, the high priest is still immature.
If he were of the same level as those back then, if there was a Gong Xiqiu beside him, not to mention Gong Cheng, even twenty Chehous would dare to hit him.
The other party escaped, which only proved that he was not enough.
No matter how talented you are, if you have no room for growth, you will be treated as a waste. In the end, you will only be a corpse: "Both Gong Xiqiu and the contemporary high priest are on the battlefield? What is the relationship between the leader of Kang and them?"
Gong Cheng thought for a long time and finally came up with a word.
“Bosom friend?”
From Gong Cheng's point of view, these two people really didn't know each other without fighting. After several life-and-death fights, they developed feelings and turned enemies into friends.
When the visitor heard this word, he was in a daze for a moment.
But it soon turned into a mockery.
"It's not easy to be a confidant of the Gongxi clan." He couldn't help but feel curious about the leader of Kang State. He had lived for too many years and witnessed the rise and fall of countless countries on this continent. In his opinion, today's Kang State is also Just one of them.
Destruction is the inevitable result.
After saying that, there was only silence between the two of them. Just when Gong Cheng was thinking about how to send the other person away, someone asked him if he was free in the past two days. Gong Cheng thought that the other person was trying to give him some advice and it was hard to refuse: "Recently, It’s nothing trivial, do you have any instructions, senior?”
The visitor’s eyes fell in a certain direction.
That is the location of Camel City.
After Camel City, there is the border fortress of Kang State.
“You come with me.”
“There is no order for the army to break out of the stronghold.”
The visitor just said chilling words indifferently: "Kill them all, it doesn't matter whether those trash come or not."

I have to catch the high-speed train back tomorrow. The temple fair today is really lively. But Jiji is unlucky. She accidentally lost her mobile phone and someone picked it up... My dears, please understand if she opened the sunroof and stopped updating.
