Jidao: I have ten equipment slots

King Gu?

Gu Zheng!!
Wow...

The others were shocked, then reacted and fell to their knees.

Including the hundred and thousand households of the Demon Slaying Bureau, their heartbeats quickened. They knelt on one knee, their bodies trembling slightly.

Meng Taiqi and Xie Bisheng opened their mouths and knelt down with the others.

However, they only bent their knees and could not kneel any further, and remained stiff in mid-air.

"Teachers, this is too much for me."

Gu Zheng stood in the air with his hands behind his back, chuckled and said, his face darkened slightly, "Speaking of which, it was Ping An who implicated the two teachers. The Zhong family couldn't do anything about Ping An, so they took their anger out on Master Meng and Master Xie. It's really shameful."

In the yard, everyone was kneeling on the ground, their bodies trembling slightly, and no one dared to respond.

Including Meng Taiqi and Xie Bisheng who were standing, they opened their mouths but did not agree.

They relied on the resources of the Zhong family to get to where they are today. They were originally gangsters, and survived two hundred years later with the help of the "Pupa Pool".

Abandoning the Zhong family was not their choice, and they had never thought of betraying them. But the Zhong family's move this time was indeed chilling.

Because they had instructed Gu Zheng and had a teacher-student relationship with Gu Zheng, they were arrested and taken to the capital to be imprisoned.

The layout is too small.

"One word."

In silence, Xie Bisheng took the lead in making a decision and said coldly, "The Zhong family is unkind, so we don't need to be righteous anymore. Does the peaceful Qingshi County need a teacher?"

"Of course we need it." Gu Zheng laughed, "Haha, thank you teacher for coming to Qingshi. The children in the city are blessed."

"And me." Meng Taiqi waved his hand, "Thank you old man for teaching, then I will teach martial arts, so that the children in Qingshi City can be both civil and military!"

"Welcome, welcome. With the addition of Teacher Meng, the children in the city are happier." Gu Zheng clasped his fists and bowed to Xie Bisheng and Meng Taiqi. "I wish all the children safe and sound. Thank you, teachers."

“Hahaha~” Meng Taiqi laughed loudly after putting everything aside, and flew into the air. “Let’s go, let’s go. I can’t wait.”

Xie Bisheng did not follow immediately, but looked at the kneeling hundred households and thousand households, and said in a deep voice, "Take care."

After he finished speaking, he leaped into the air, came behind Gu Zheng, and stood with Meng Taiqi.

"Teachers, let's go."

Gu Zheng glanced at the ground, said nothing, and asked Meng Taiqi and Xie Bisheng to leave.

The three of them cut through the air and disappeared into the horizon.

During the entire process, the person kneeling in the yard did not raise his head, let alone say a word.

The middle-aged general let out a long breath as if he had relieved a huge force. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, stood up, and waved to his men, saying, "Let's go."

Upon hearing this, a dozen or so strong men in armor stood up silently.

The young man under custody followed behind with his head down and dejected look.

Gu Zheng took Meng Taiqi and Xie Bisheng away, so their mission naturally failed, but no one dared to say a word.

Although the young man is arrogant and domineering, he also looks at people.

He could ignore Meng Taiqi and Xie Bisheng.

Facing Gu Zheng, I dare not say a word.

If you say any more, you'll be courting death.

……

Gu Zheng came and left.

Xie Bisheng and Meng Taiqi followed him and left.

The entire Demon Slaying Division headquarters and all the Demon Suppression Guards were in an uproar.

"What should we do? The commander and the general are gone. Who will take charge of Fengzhou from now on?"

"You don't need to worry about this. Didn't you see the people who came to escort the commander and the general? As soon as they walked out of the gate, they contacted the capital. There is no need to wait until dark. Someone will come and take over the Fengzhou Demon Slaying Division."

"Hey, what should we do in the future after this incident? Gu Zheng has established his own faction and openly challenged the imperial court. Don't we have to choose a faction as well?"

"You're overthinking it. We small fry are not qualified to take sides. However, I believe that many people will go to Qingshi and pledge allegiance to King Gu!"

"Need I say that? If I didn't have a family, I would also want to go to Qingshi and serve King Gu."

"Ahem, you say, is the imperial court really going to let Gu Zheng go like this? Allowing Qingshi County to become a country of its own?"

"What else? Send troops to attack? Do you know what King Body is? At the King Body level, no matter how many people there are, they are just a number. Even if they coordinate in battle formations, they can't do anything to the King Body."

"..."

There was a lot of discussion in Fengzhou city.

Some are excited, some are shocked, some despise, some envy...

Gu Zheng was promoted to royal rank and opposed the imperial court, but the Zhong family could do nothing to him.

No matter how you look at it, this thing makes people excited, and they can't wait to be involved in it.

Compared to the arrogant Zhong family, Gu Zheng grew up in Fengzhou and then moved forward step by step.

At the Demon Slaying Division headquarters, Gu Zheng’s achievements in each mission were listed on the list.

Not an exaggeration.

Compared with the Zhong family, Gu Zheng made the Fengzhou Demon Slaying Division's demon-suppressing guards feel more friendly and more willing to interact with him.

So, while most people were still discussing, a small number of people quickly took action.

In a hut.

Zhang Ning, An Xiaoxue, Tao Liu, Wu Kun, and Zhang Boshong, who once followed Gu Zheng, gathered together.

"I have already asked Yantou, she cannot go."

An Xiaoxue explained in a low voice, "Yantou's master is a high-ranking official in the Jiantian Division. If she went to Qingshi, it would implicate her master, just like Commander Meng. If King Gu hadn't arrived in time, he would have been taken away and imprisoned."

"Hmph, the Zhong family can't afford to lose and has brought shame upon themselves!" Zhang Ning sneered.

"Since Yantou can't go, there's no need to contact her to avoid getting her into trouble. We can just go to Qingshi." Tao Liu whispered, "I've already found Tao Qi, who is from my family, and asked him about it. The Gu family, to which Gutou belongs, was originally a big family in Qingshi. Moreover, the entire Qingshi belongs to the Gu family now. We'll have plenty of room to maneuver when we go there."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go." Wu Kun said excitedly, "I didn't expect Gu Tou to reach the King's Body so quickly. It seems like it was just yesterday when we went to the south to carry out the mission together."

"Don't call me Gu Tou anymore, remember to call me Gu Wang!"

Zhang Boshong said in a low voice.

"Based on my understanding of Prince Gu, he should be happier if I call him Head Gu." Zhang Ning touched his chin and thought.

"Uh, is that so?" An Xiaoxue was skeptical.

"Just go to Qingshi and call out, and you'll know, right?" Zhang Ning grinned.

"Okay, now that everyone has made the decision, let's go to Qingshi early tomorrow morning, taking advantage of the opportunity of going out on a mission!" Tao Liu said in a deep voice.

"understand!"

"rest assured."

……

The next day.

Tao Liu, An Xiaoxue and his group received the mission, walked out of the Demon Slaying Division headquarters, and rode out of the state capital on horseback.

Once out of the city, the speed immediately increased.

The mission direction was to go south, but the group rushed west, heading straight to Nanyun Prefecture and then to Qingshi County.

After entering Nanyun Prefecture, there were more pedestrians on the road. Of course, they all moved in groups, holding guns and bows, and were alert to their surroundings.

From time to time, groups of soldiers were seen moving around. The aura of demons was everywhere, but they never showed up in person.

Zhang Ning, Tao Liu and the others changed their clothes after leaving the city. Except for the half-demon scale horse under their crotch, they still rode it, but everything else was changed. They blended in with the crowd and were a little conspicuous.

They rushed all the way and arrived at the river outside Qingshi County and crossed it over the stone bridge.

After climbing over a hill and passing through a small woods, a wilderness appeared in front of us.

In the center of the wilderness covered with weeds, a stone-paved road stretches into the distance.

Tao Liu, An Xiaoxue and their group continued along the gravel road.

suddenly……

Bang~bang~bang!
All of them, including the half-demon scaly horse under their crotch, were thrown back and fell to the ground.

Of course, at the moment before landing, Tao Liu, An Xiaoxue and the others quickly adjusted their bodies and landed steadily on the ground.

"What's going on? Is someone attacking us?" Wu Kun looked around nervously.

"No one is attacking." Zhang Ning frowned and looked towards the end of the wilderness, or rather, at the void that had bounced back a moment ago, and said in a deep voice, "There is an invisible curtain wall blocking the way."

"What, a field wall?" An Xiaoxue exclaimed, "Another field has appeared in Qingshi County?"

"It's not the field wall." Tao Liu stepped forward and stretched out his hand to touch the front.

There was clearly nothing there, but the palm of the hand touched an invisible film.

This layer of thin film was so thin that even a man and a horse collided with it just now, but not even a ripple was created.

"This is not the field wall." Tao Liu felt around and frowned, "I can't tell what it is for now."

"It's not a field wall, but I can't get in. Is Qingshi County self-isolating?" Zhang Ning pondered.

“Could it be that this is a trick performed by King Gu?” Wu Kun looked around and then looked up.

Whoosh!
Tao Liu had already jumped up. Being at a high place, his feet used each other as leverage and he rushed forward, reaching a height of a hundred meters.

Bang~!

There was a muffled sound.

Tao Liu hit the invisible film again and fell to the ground.

He repeatedly adjusted his posture in the air and controlled his body shape before he staggered to the ground and performed several footwork moves before he finally stabilized himself completely.

“The high places are also blocked.”

Taking a deep breath, Tao Liu frowned and said, "Qingshi County is most likely sealed off by King Gu to prevent outsiders from entering."

"..."

Zhang Ning, Wu Kun and others fell silent after hearing this.

It is understandable why Gu Zheng did this.

Although they have not yet completely torn their relations apart, the conflict between Gu Zheng and the Zhong family is known to everyone in the world.

At this time, the Qingshi County was sealed off to prevent outsiders from entering, more to guard against spies from the Zhong family.

Maybe these spies are of average strength, but they can still cause sabotage, stir up trouble, and collect intelligence.

In this way, Qingshi County can be much more peaceful.

Thinking of this, An Xiaoxue sighed, "That's good now. No one can get in."

As he was speaking, the sound of horse hooves was heard.

A team of more than thirty people came from the rear and entered the wilderness.

Six skinny horses, three carriages, and a group of people ran along the side of the gravel road, vigilantly guarding against An Xiaoxue, Wu Kun and others.

"Wait, there's no way to get through... How is that possible!"

Tao Liu's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked in astonishment at the six skinny horses and three carriages, which passed through the invisible film without any hindrance, moved forward along the gravel road, and rushed into the distance.

"This..." Zhang Ning also widened his eyes and ran over quickly.

bang~
With a dull thud, Zhang Ning was bounced back again.

An Xiaoxue ran closer, reached out to touch it, and still felt the invisible film!
"What...what's going on?" Wu Kun was confused. "Why can they get in but we can't? Could it be that King Gu deliberately didn't let us in? I don't want to..."

He didn't say what he was thinking about, but Zhang Ning, Tao Liu and others all knew what it was.

The faces of the group suddenly became ugly and extremely depressed.

But soon, their expressions changed again.

Because the second team coming from the rear was also blocked and could not enter the second half of the wilderness.

Then came two skinny civilians, one old and one young, holding spears and rusty iron knives, looking at them vigilantly, and passed through the invisible film.

After a while, a group of four people on horseback came from behind. The people on the horse's back were all thrown away and fell backwards, but the four strong horses under their crotch were not blocked and passed through easily.

what's the situation?
Why can some people enter, including horses, but some people cannot and are unable to pass through the membrane?

Tao Liu, Wu Kun and others were stunned.

Those who were bounced back stood on the ground and cursed.

The invisible curtain wall, no matter how much they shouted and cursed, was like a natural moat that blocked their way forward.

“It’s magical.”

Zhang Bosong, who had been silent the whole time, looked at the shouting crowd and the two beggars who passed through the film again, and said in a deep voice, "People and animals with supernatural powers cannot pass through."

Miraculous?

Tao Liu, Wu Kun, An Xiaoxue, and Zhang Ning were shocked when they heard this.

The four of them thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed the case!
Ordinary people and horses could pass through the membrane without any hindrance, but they and those who had cultivated supernatural powers could not enter.

This was not Gu Zheng deliberately targeting them, but rather drawing a dividing line.

Only mortal bodies can enter the bluestone!

Thinking of this, Tao Liu opened his mouth and said dryly, "Only a mortal body can enter. If you want to enter, don't you have to give up your cultivation?"

Without their cultivation, what can they do by joining Gu Zheng?
A servant who serves tea, sweeps the floor and washes dishes?
For a moment, the five people were silent.

……

Only ordinary people can enter the bluestone!
This is the invisible and powerful defense line that Gu Zheng set up for Qingshi County by taking advantage of the opportunity of the integration of the three regions.

Automatic screening, equal treatment.

Gu Zheng was not interested in fighting for the dragon, nor would he deliberately recruit people, but he would not refuse the people who had come thousands of miles to Qingshi from where they could not make a living in order to survive.

With the three regions united as one, everything in Qingshi County is now under his control.

Once the seeds are sown, they can be harvested one after another.

This is to take care of the people, so that the people can be more united and thus help the impact on the imperial body road!

As for those who have achieved supernatural powers, it is better not to accept them.

With so many people, there is bound to be trouble.

Even if it is in the alien realm, it can cause large-scale damage.

Therefore, except for those who were already in the city, all those coming from outside were blocked outside.

An Xiaoxue, Zhang Ning and four others rushed to Qingshi to join the army. Gu Zheng actually saw them but did not let them in.

Wu Kun, Tao Liu and others had followed him before, and the Zhong family must know that.

Knowing the relationship between An Xiaoxue and her group and Gu Zheng, is it possible that they were bribed by the Zhong family?
Gu Zheng didn't want to know, nor did he want to test it.

If it is really discovered that some of Tao Liu and his companions were bribed by the Zhong family and entered Qingshi as undercover agents, they will undoubtedly be killed in the end.

Rather than that, it is better to pretend not to know they exist.

"Zhong Duxiu can't afford to lose, so he's trying to get his teacher back, so don't blame me for getting him back!" (End of this chapter)
