Chapter 1340

"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't bother to ask you this little thing, but since I bumped into you, I have to ask." Gu Zheng said casually making an excuse.

"Senior, can you tell me what's going on?" After hearing this, the immortal master asked again.

Seeing Du Fang still hesitating at the door, Gu Zheng grabbed the air in his direction, then pulled him back, and at the same time waved his hand and shot a white light around.

"Why are you still standing there, waiting for the other party to find out something is wrong?"

The immortal master only felt an irresistible force coming from the front. He unconsciously jumped ahead and found that he was already sitting opposite the senior, but he did not react at all.

Because he was still immersed in the moment when the opponent took action, the aura leaked turned out to be a senior in the Golden Immortal stage.

Although he has never met Jinxian's senior, he was lucky enough to see a battle between Jinxian's seniors many years ago. The feeling that the other party gave him just now, with just a trace of this senior's aura, was actually more powerful than the people fighting at that time. .

It made him extremely shocked. Why didn't he expect to meet such an expert here?

It took dozens of breaths for the immortal master to wake up from the shock. Seeing Gu Zheng still looking at him indifferently, his face turned red and he quickly stood up and said with his hands in hand.

"Junior Cao Fang, I have met senior." His expression became more and more respectful, because the other party really wanted to deal with me, it was so easy, and he didn't want to talk to me so much.

Gu Zheng looked at the other party. In fact, he was deliberately leaking his aura. Of course, other than him, he would never leak it out. He just wanted to save trouble and spend a long time in ink like before.

From this look, the effect is very good. The other party is no longer making a fuss, which makes it easier for me to ask questions.

"Sit down, don't be formal." Gu Zheng smiled slightly and told the other party not to be nervous.

"Senior, what you said is right. I felt something was wrong before. After you said this, I realized that it seemed that someone really wanted to harm me, but I had only been down the mountain for a short time. How could you mess with other people?"

As soon as Cao Fang sat down here, he talked about his problems at once, his face was also nervous. When facing his own life and death, even an immortal could not avoid being nervous.

And the key is that he doesn't know who the enemy is or how to prevent it, which makes him very uneasy now.

"Don't be nervous. Calm down. I'm here just to solve this matter for you. You sit down first and I'll ask you something so I can understand the situation better." Gu Zheng comforted the other party.

"Okay, senior, as long as I know, I will tell you everything." That Cao Fang took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and his face returned to a little normal.

"Do you know that magazine manager? He's the one who brought you tea during your break." Gu Zheng saw that the other party had controlled his emotions and said straight to the point.

He is not going to take action to solve the mark in his body now, nor is he going to tell him. Naturally, he has his own ideas.

"Manager? I don't know his name, but when I was chatting with King Wei, King Wei once said some things about him." Cao Fang thought about it carefully and knew who Gu Zheng was talking about.

"According to King Wei, that man has stayed in the palace since he was a child. His father, including his ancestors for more than ten generations, has been the great steward of the palace, and he is among the princes. However, he was sent to the young prince more than ten years ago. Serving him, he is almost invisible in normal times. Only when it is important, he is still handed over by the prince to take charge of his tasks. It can be said that the prince and his family regard him as the closest person. "

"Then do you know why he was suddenly sent to the young prince? According to you, he held great power before, and he is still strong now, let alone more than ten years ago?" Gu Zheng asked in confusion.

"This King Wei happened to tell me that when the young prince was a child, he had a very bad temper and would not listen to anyone. He was like a little devil, but he was very polite to the housekeeper, so King Wei let him He used to take care of the young prince, and the young prince became a bad man from then on. His temper gradually got better and better. After only one year, he not only treated others politely, but also knew how to advance and retreat when dealing with outsiders, which made the prince very pleased. Then the young prince took him over directly. Is there something wrong with him? I’ve observed him, he’s just an ordinary person.”

Cao Fang finally said doubtfully, because after taking out a good elixir and curing the young prince, King Wei specially asked himself to see if there was anything wrong with the housekeeper. He looked at everything inside and out. I looked at the other person once and found that he was in good health. There was no other doubt at all. He was just a strong, normal person.

After Gu Zheng heard this, his expression did not change at all, but he sneered in his heart.

Although it sounded like there was nothing wrong with the housekeeper, Gu Zheng was sure that there must be something wrong with the housekeeper, and if he guessed correctly, the young prince might no longer be the son of King Wei.

Or to be precise, the little prince only had one skin, and the rest had probably been taken over by the demon clan, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to feel that faint trace of demonic energy.

You must know that you are not an ordinary monk, but how deep the other party hides it, even if you can hide it from others, you will never hide it from yourself.

But he could not prove that the little prince had died. At this time, the monster possessing the little prince was the little prince and had completely replaced him.

Seeing Gu Zheng being silent, Cao Fang was also very anxious, but still didn't dare to wake up Gu Zheng.

However, Gu Zheng didn't let him wait much longer. He quickly came to his senses and said to Cao Fei, "I suggest you not to leave in two days, and don't stay here anymore. The person who is keeping an eye on you can't get away yet." If you really stay too long, he will most likely come here just like me. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand, I understand. I'll leave early tomorrow morning. I'll make an excuse to go out for a while. I won't take the young prince and the others with me." Although Gu Zheng didn't say it clearly, he was so smart that he didn't know that there was something wrong with the young prince.

For the sake of his own life, even if he doesn't want these apprentices, he can slowly find them if he doesn't, but he only has this one life.

Of course, all this is Gu Zheng's guess, even if he has nine levels of certainty, so he won't say it clearly.

"Well, here you go." Gu Zheng took out a dark crystal ball in his hand, "This is a one-time defensive shield. If you encounter danger, break it and it will naturally release a layer of protection for you. Maybe you will encounter danger." You can still escape the danger.”

"Thank you, senior." Cao Fei was very moved and thanked him hurriedly.

"But you still have to be careful. Since you have been beaten, you might be blocked by the other party when you go out. It can only be said that the sooner you leave, the lower the risk." Gu Zheng gave final instructions.

"I understand. I guess when I cured the young prince, he was already being watched by the other party, because I was a little aware of it, but it was not as obvious as it is now." Cao Fei thought about his own affairs, and was afraid that he He has fallen into an invisible whirlpool. If Gu Zheng hadn't reminded him, he might have died without knowing how.

"But, senior, can't you deal with the other party?" At this time, Cao Fei said cautiously.

"You don't even look at where this is. Could I have intervened?" Gu Zheng said coldly, while pointing up.

"I'm confused." Cao Fei then remembered that not even the Golden Immortal, not even the Saint, had the right to interfere in the replacement of the imperial power. He had been here for so many days and had a rough understanding of the current situation, plus the arrival of the Ye family in the evening However, some problems have already been brought to the surface.

"Well, you should be careful next time. I'm leaving first." As soon as Gu Zheng finished speaking, he disappeared from the other party's room.

Although Cao Fei wanted to leave now, the city gate was blocked now. Although he had a way to get out, it was a dark and windy month. If the other party kept staring at the other party, it would be the best chance for the other party.

Cao Fei decided to wait all night, and wait until noon during the day. At that time, there were many ordinary people outside, and it was impossible for the other party to dare to attack him in broad daylight.

Thinking of this, Cao Fei felt a little more at ease and put up layers of protection around his room.

He didn't have the slightest doubt about Gu Zheng's words. Not to mention that the other party had helped him before, but with the other party's cultivation, it was too easy to kill him silently, and there was no need to go to such trouble.

Gu Zheng, who had just walked out of the palace, already felt that the demon clan was starting to clean up the end. He did not expect that the other party had penetrated so much power. If it were later and waited for the other party to continue to grow, I am afraid that Gu Zheng would not be able to stop the other party in the end. Before the other party notices that he is here, cut off a section of the other party's claws.

And Cao Fei is the person who leads the opponent. Gu Zheng doesn't think that he can find the opponent's backbone by going to the snow mountain station. Even if there are monsters, they are probably just a few indifferent kittens, which will not harm the overall situation at all.

However, the protection Gu Zheng gave him had already put a bit of his evil power into it, so he couldn't help but strengthen the defense. Moreover, he knew the location of his accident immediately and could rush there quickly.

But Gu Zheng's smile didn't last long. As soon as he left the palace, Gu Zheng rushed towards Xu's mansion. On the way, he suddenly frowned again because the protection he left on Yu Tian was activated.

When leaving, because Gu Zheng was worried, Yu Zhen and the others left a trace of protection on their bodies, mainly because they were afraid that if the other party could not enter the Xu Mansion, he would be able to find them.

The second is that Yu Zhen was indispensable for Cao Fei to come to the palace, because he was the one who introduced Cao Fei to the palace, and everyone knew that they were leaving today, so they were afraid that the other party would ambush them.

He couldn't sense what was going on outside at all in the palace. As a result, he didn't realize it until he came out and Yutian's protection was activated.

As for Yu Zhen, the protective shield on his body had already been activated.

With a slight awareness, the opponent's figure had already left the city. Unexpectedly, such a thing happened in such a short period of time. Gu Zheng flashed towards the west gate in a flash.

At this time, in an open space not far from the north gate, five people surrounded a relatively dim white figure and kept attacking. And outside, there was another person, looking at the figure outside, constantly blocking the figure's attack.

Although he could defeat her easily, he still couldn't break through that layer of protection.

Although there was only a thin layer, it still left them somewhat helpless.

So at present, it seems that they are attacking them, but in fact they know that they are just trying their best to prevent the other party from breaking through.

The businesswoman in white clothes on the outside once again repelled the opponent's desperate attack. Looking at the difficult situation behind her, she said anxiously, "Brother, do you want me to help?"

"No, the other party is about to give up. You just need to keep an eye on him and don't let him run away." A heavy voice came, looking obviously tired.

Not only him, the other four people were also a little out of breath. They didn't expect the other party to be so difficult, but the shield of the other party was about to go down, indicating that the other party couldn't hold on for much longer.

Originally, they followed the order from above and ambushed the other party's way, but they didn't come after waiting for a long time, so they sent people to inquire and found that they were actually walking towards the route of Xu Mansion, which made them terrified.

Fortunately, their speed was not fast. It seemed that they were talking about something along the way and didn't notice their hasty ambush. However, when they launched the attack, this old man who seemed to be almost the same strength as them actually blocked all the four of them in an instant.

This was really beyond their expectations. The old man's strong burst was something they had not thought of before.

Fortunately, the fifth and sixth sisters who saw the bad situation on the side took advantage of the girl disguised as a boy to take a few steps back in surprise and rushed up to snatch her away.

When everyone saw this, they were overjoyed and retreated towards the north gate as planned. At this time, their battle had attracted the attention of some people.

Because the order from above was to capture them alive, and they were given detailed information on the target mission. If they caught the other party's granddaughter, the other party would definitely follow them obediently.

Everything returned to normal. They knew that the old man's combat power was high, otherwise they would not have sent all of them together. Unexpectedly, the four of them besieged and barely tied with the other party.

However, no matter how strong the other party was, it didn't take long for the breath to fall quickly. But when they were about to succeed, they actually had a magic weapon on their bodies, and it seemed to replenish the other party's exhausted body, instantly catching them off guard.

The fifth sister on the periphery also joined the battle and barely blocked the other party. Originally, the sixth sister wanted to use the granddaughter to threaten the other party. At first, it was somewhat effective. This discovery made the other party timid and worried about her comfort.

But the girl got angry and took out a dagger from nowhere and stabbed at the arm of the sixth sister in an instant. Although the opponent's strength was only the second level, she had no protection at the time and subconsciously hit the opponent's arm.

This time, her shield was instantly knocked out. This time, no one had the spare strength to deal with her. Fortunately, her strength was not strong, and the sixth sister could block her trouble alone.

"Yutian, you go quickly, don't worry about me, go find Mr. Gu." Yu Zhen over there looked at the shield outside his body that was about to go out and couldn't help shouting.

He knew that this defense might be the protection given to them by Gu Zheng, otherwise they would have been captured by the other party long ago, but the silly girl still wanted to rescue him.

"I won't leave, I want to be with my grandfather." She knew in her heart that she couldn't run away at all. Although she was not in danger for the time being, if she ran, the other party would block her, and her speed was not fast, which was no different from this. It would be better to harass them and cause trouble for them.

"None of you can escape, just surrender obediently, so you don't have to suffer later." At this time, the eldest brother could finally breathe a sigh of relief and couldn't help laughing.

This was their first mission on the trip. Unexpectedly, the mysterious man promised them that if they completed six missions for him, he would give them antidotes every time. This time, he gave them an antidote directly, which was eaten by the fifth sister. As expected, the poison in their bodies was cured, making them ecstatic.

That's why they fought so hard. No matter what, there is at least one hope.

"When my master comes, you will be dead." Yu Tian said angrily, looking at them fiercely.

"Don't scare us. I know your background very well. You just learned from your grandfather, but you still want to scare us. I think you can give up resistance. Maybe we can work together later." The fifth sister who continued to resist Yu Zhen's attack inside laughed, as if I had seen through your tricks a long time ago.

Although they would definitely not end well if they were caught, in order to offset the other party's resistance, the lie came out of their mouths.

"Hmph, that's why I recognized my master today. He's an immortal. You still have time to regret." Yutian looked at his grandfather who was now unable to break through and could only block the opponent's attack with difficulty. The shield on his body was almost invisible and would probably break soon.

"Okay, little guy, I don't say whether your master recognizes you today, but you have to go today. When your master comes, let him go there to find you." The leisurely sixth sister said outside.

With a slight "pop" sound, the shield on Yu Zhen's body was finally broken. He was knocked down to the bottom by the opponent without resisting a few moves and was knocked unconscious directly.

"Grandpa!"

Yutian couldn't help shouting as he watched his grandfather faint.

"Do you surrender yourself, or do I force you? You don't want your grandfather to get hurt, do you?" The big brother weighed Yu Zhen out and put a long knife between his neck, threatening.

Yutian watched the other party slowly surround her. With a slight sound of glass breaking in the air, she simply closed the shield.

"Tie her up quickly. There's a message over there that someone is coming this way." As soon as Yutian heard this, he felt a pain at the back of his head and passed out.

"If I had known, I would have held on a little longer." Before Yutian fell into a coma, a thought flashed through his mind, thinking that Gu Zheng must have discovered their situation and was looking for them here, and then he fell into a coma.

In the sky, a stream of light came here in an instant, and a figure in the sky stayed in the air, looking at the ground where there were still some scattered traces of movement, but there was no one nearby.

The search was fruitless, and a violent breath suddenly burst out from the figure, forming a hurricane that swept across the ground, and then turned into a meteor and disappeared in the distance.
