LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 14
"What's up?" Gu Cheng frowned slightly.
The bearded general smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said:
"I am Li Tianhao. I heard that General Gu got a spiritual flower by chance. I came here to make a deal with you..."
"Sorry, there is no spiritual flower at all. You heard it wrong."
Gu Cheng made up an excuse and walked away.
"Ah, ah, ah... General Gu, what you said is meaningless."
Li Tianhao took a step sideways and blocked Gu Cheng's way.
His eyes swept over the wooden box in Xiao Yun's hand, his expression was half-smile.
Tsk, this pretty boy is really lying with his eyes open!
The fragrance of the flower is wafting out of the box, and he still dares to say there is no fragrance?
"Listen to me first, General Gu. That spiritual flower is actually useless to you. You might as well buy it and exchange it for money."
Li Tianhao persuaded him with sincerity:
"It just so happens that I have some connections in the pharmacy. If you are willing to give it up, I can give you five hundred taels of silver now, enough for you to go to Chunfeng Tower and have a good time for a while."
What? Five hundred taels?
Did you, a profiteer, have a conscience that was eaten by a dog?
Xiao Yun couldn't help but roll his eyes.
He supported Gu Cheng to sell the Nebula Flower for money. After all, the latter's martial arts talent was too high and he couldn't feel the improvement brought by the fragrance of the flower.
But even if you want to sell it, it should start at least three thousand taels of silver, right?
Are you sending away beggars with these five hundred taels, or are you bullying people who don't know the value of things?
"I said, there is no spiritual flower at all, get out of the way."
Gu Cheng's tone turned cold.
Are you kidding? This Nebula Flower is a treasure that can save life!
Not to mention a mere five hundred taels, even if it was fifty thousand taels, he would not agree.
"Oh, General Gu, don't be anxious."
"If you think five hundred taels is too little... how about eight hundred taels? I can give you cash."
Li Tianhao still did not give up, as if he had won the other party.
To show his sincerity, he also took out a stack of colorful silver notes, at least a thousand taels.
And his unyielding attitude also completely exhausted someone's patience.
"Are you here to make trouble on purpose?"
"Get out of here!"
Gu Cheng shouted coldly and stretched out his hand to hold the hilt of the knife.
In an instant, a cold and unparalleled knife aura spread out, firmly locking onto the bearded man.
It seemed that if he dared to say half a word more, he would be hit head-on, and his blood would splatter three feet on the spot!
"!!!"
Li Tianhao's breath was choked, and the whole person seemed to fall into an ice cave, staggering back two steps.
"Hmph!"
Gu Cheng let go of the hilt and stepped over Li Tianhao.
The surrounding lieutenants of the Demon Suppression Division were all shocked, wondering how this General Li was such a loser that he was actually scared away by Gu Cheng?
Li Tianhao also came back to his senses at this time, and thought of his ugly appearance just now, and couldn't help but get angry.
Damn it, what's wrong with me?
How could I be scared by a loser who was only in the third level of body tempering? !
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Li Tianhao was really embarrassed, and his blood surged for a while, and his face instantly turned red.
He immediately put the banknote into his arms and turned around to chase after him.
"Stop!"
Li Tianhao shouted angrily, and his right hand became an eagle claw, grabbing Gu Cheng's left shoulder like lightning.
Looking at this angry attack, it is obvious that he did not hold back at all!
Not good!
Xiao Yun was shocked and was about to remind him, but Gu Cheng had already made a move.
He flashed and dodged the bearded man's sneak attack, and at the same time grabbed the man's wrist with his backhand.
Gu Cheng's palm was slender and white, without even a thick callus, which was not at all like a martial artist.
But at this time, it was like an iron clamp, firmly holding Li Tianhao's wrist.
No matter how he struggled, it was useless.
"This... How can this kid be so strong? What is his cultivation?"
"Could it be... Qi and Blood Realm?!"
Li Tianhao's eyes widened, and he got an incredible answer in his mind.
But unfortunately, he understood it a little too late.
Zizi--
Gu Cheng's mind moved, and the wind and thunder flashed in his palm.
Li Tianhao felt his body numb, and instantly lost his strength, and was thrown to the ground by the young man.
"Don't you want to make a deal with me? Okay, I agree."
"I'll "sell" you a kick now!"
Gu Cheng stepped forward and stepped hard on the right hand that the bearded man had just extended.
Crack--
The sound of broken bones was crisp and pleasant.
Immediately afterwards, Li Tianhao's pig-like scream was followed, which gave goose bumps to everyone present.
"It seems that you are very satisfied, so I will take the money myself."
Gu Cheng leaned over, took out the stack of banknotes from the bearded man, and put it in his pocket.
"GuGeneral Flag! You..."
The three younger brothers under Li Tianhao couldn't hold back when they saw this, and were about to step forward to stop him.
"What? Do you guys want to make a "deal" with me too?"
Gu Cheng looked up, his eyes cold.
The three swallowed their saliva, hurriedly stepped aside, and said no more.
"Let's go."
Gu Cheng called out to the back and strode away.
Xiao Yun was stunned and stared at the side. He was stunned for a long time before he hurriedly followed.
Only a group of dumbfounded colleagues and a miserable bearded man lying on the ground, folding his arms and wailing.
"I... am I not seeing things? Was that person really Gu Cheng just now?"
"When did he become so powerful? Could it be that he had been hiding his weakness before?"
"So, those two blood-qi realm tiger monsters were really killed by him personally? "
Everyone was talking about it.
And with the help of some busybodies.
The news of Gu Cheng's strong rise spread like wildfire, and it became more and more intense...
-----------------
The emperor has no hungry soldiers.
On the way to the armory, Gu Cheng took out the stack of silver notes, divided out a few hundred taels, and stuffed them to Xiao Yun.
Xiao Yun wanted to refuse, but thinking of his sister who had been ill for a long time at home, he accepted it with gratitude.
"Master Gu..."
Xiao Yun hesitated for a moment and asked:
"You just did it so decisively, will it be used as an excuse later?"
"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Gu Cheng said calmly:
"The Demon Suppression Division never prohibits private fights, as long as no one is killed.
Besides, it was Li Tianhao who started it just now, and it is not my problem in terms of emotion and reason. "
"As for taking advantage of the situation? Haha, since I killed the two tiger monsters on Baicao Mountain, I have already ruined other people's good things, so why should I care about taking advantage of the situation..."
"Ah?"
Xiao Yun blinked his eyes, looking confused.
"Don't you understand yet?"
Gu Cheng glanced at Xiao Yun, and sighed in his heart that this big guy was too naive.
"Let me give you some more tips. Baicao Mountain is rich in herbs, which is the source of many pharmacies in the city.
Due to the tiger monsters before, many herbal farmers dared not go up the mountain to collect herbs."
"Think about it carefully. If the pharmacies in the city are cut off from supply, who will benefit the most?"
"Who will benefit the most?"
Xiao Yun lowered his head and thought for a while, and suddenly a light bulb flashed:
"Of course, it will benefit the competitors of those pharmacies!
Their supply will not be affected, so they can just hoard goods and drive up the price of medicine!"
"So that's it, damn it! I was wondering why the price of medicine suddenly became more expensive a while ago!"
Xiao Yun gritted his teeth.
After understanding the key to the problem, his mind suddenly became clear.
Some things that he couldn't figure out before, now revealed the most essential truth like peeling off silk threads.
Why did the two tiger monsters react so strangely when they went up the mountain to eliminate monsters?
Why were they picked on by colleagues who had connections in the pharmacy as soon as they came back?
Could that nebula flower be the reward for inviting the tiger monster to occupy the mountain and enclose land?
The more Xiao Yun thought about it, the more frightened he felt.
The Demon Suppression Division of Changle County is simply rotten to the core. !
It's fine if they are just sitting there doing nothing and being passive, but now there are people colluding with demons?
This is just a shitty Demon Suppression Division!
No wonder Lord Gu did so many ridiculous things before.
If he didn't keep a low profile and tarnish his reputation, he would have been targeted by the parasites in the government and strangled in the cradle!
Now that he has suddenly risen strongly, I think he has made all the preparations and decided to turn the tide and return a bright and clear world to Changle County, right?
...
Gu Cheng noticed the change in Xiao Yun's expression and asked:
"Have you figured it out?"
"I understand!"
Xiao Yong nodded vigorously, looking at Gu Cheng with admiration:
"Lord Gu, you have suffered so much in these years...
Don't worry, if you have anything to do in the future, just tell me, I will do my best to help you!"
"??? "
Gu Cheng was confused.
No...Brother, what do you understand?
