Seeing the people rushing out around him, Shopkeeper Wang panicked. He immediately lowered his face and looked at Orchid with an unkind look.
"Shop Manager Lan, you need to know who is behind me. If you dare to touch me, you may not even know how you died. I advise you not to cause trouble for yourself!"
Hearing his insistent words, Orchid sneered.
"Isn't the person behind you Young Master Luo? Who in the entire Pingcheng doesn't know that you offended Young Master Luo because of a Purple Jade Dagger? You still want him to be your backer, and you are not afraid of dying in his hands!"
As soon as Orchid said these words, Shopkeeper Wang's expression suddenly changed.
"What do you mean? What is the purpose of calling me here today?"
"It doesn't have any purpose, I just want to chat with you. It's a pity that Shopkeeper Wang is a little ignorant and actually made an idea on my head. I just called these people here just to make you restrain yourself. If Shopkeeper Wang is willing, we might as well talk in the room?"
Seeing Orchid soften his posture, Shopkeeper Wang's face looked better.
"Okay, since Shopkeeper Lan sincerely invites you, I will give you this face."
After saying that, he walked in the door coldly.
Orchid followed closely, and when she saw him entering, she locked the door directly.
The moment the candlelight lit up, Gu Sheng and others walked out of the darkness.
Seeing that there were so many people in the room, Shopkeeper Wang suddenly changed his face.
"Shopkeeper Lan, what do you mean?"
"We are not happy, but my backer wants to talk to you. Shopkeeper Wang, please take a seat."
Lan Yao and Er Gou were already standing at the door. Shopkeeper Wang knew that he couldn't leave, so he could only endure his anger and sit down.
Gu Sheng sat opposite him and looked up at him.
"Shopkeeper Wang, if I guess correctly, you haven't found a gem suitable for Purple Jade Dagger yet, have you?"
Hearing him mention Purple Jade Dagger, Shopkeeper Wang's pupils narrowed instantly.
"Who are you? I have never seen you in Pingcheng. How do you know this? You must know that Pingcheng is the place where the Luo family has the final say. If you know this news, you will undoubtedly find a way out for yourself!"
Hearing his words, Gu Sheng smiled softly.
"Really? I don't think so. On the contrary, I think I found a way for you to survive. After all, if I didn't take action, Luo Qin would be ready to kill you, and you yourself would be ready to escape, right?"
Hearing him express his true thoughts word for word, Shopkeeper Wang felt that the person in front of him was particularly scary.
"Who are you? Why do you know so much? Have you been spying on me?"
"You are not worthy of being monitored by me, but as I just said, if you are willing to cooperate, I can give you a way to survive, and I can guarantee that Luo Qin will not find you, and you can continue to live your good life in another place. Do you want to cooperate?"
Gu Sheng extended an olive branch, and Shopkeeper Wang was crazy about it.
He couldn't find the gems, because everyone who could use them had used all the ones he bought. Now he was at the end of his rope, but Luo Qin was still pressing on them. He was really helpless, so he was ready to run away.
Originally, he was thinking that it would be nice if he had a backer, so that at least he would have a higher chance of survival. Unexpectedly, Gu Sheng actually came to his door.
Although he was not yet sure whether he was an enemy or a friend, his proposal was really exciting. After all, it was a matter involving his life.
After thinking about it, he asked, "What do you want to do? What do you need me to do?"
Seeing that he had taken the bait, Gu Sheng curled his lips slightly.
"I ask you to hand over Purple Jade Dagger to me, and then I will save your life."
Hearing this, Shopkeeper Wang's eyes lit up.
"Is it that simple?"
"Yes, it's that simple. If you want to live, just give me Purple Jade Dagger, and hold Luo Qin by the way so that he can't get anything out on the day of Recruitment Convention."
After Gu Sheng finished speaking, Shopkeeper Wang frowned.
"You want me to hold him back, but I may not be able to do it. I will leave after handing over Purple Jade Dagger. If I still have contact with him, wouldn't I have exposed myself?"
"Without Purple Jade Dagger, you are no longer of value to him. If you leave, he will definitely find someone else to do it. You craftsmen must all have your own circles. Do you want to hold him back and show up yourself?"
After understanding what he meant, Shopkeeper Wang began to make calculations in his mind again.
Seeing the way his eyes were moving around, Gu Sheng had already guessed what he was thinking.
He took out his money bag and slapped it directly on the table.
"I'll cover all the expenses, you just have to contribute."
Hearing a heavy thud, Shopkeeper Wang's eyes lit up.
"Okay! Seeing that you are the backer of Shopkeeper Lan, I will trust you for once!"
With that said, he was ready to grab the money bag.
Seeing his action, Gu Sheng stepped back, Shopkeeper Wang's hand was empty, and he frowned immediately.
"What do you mean?"
"It's not interesting, I just have a few questions I want to ask."
"You asked."
"Qingcheng Sect is in the hands of Luo Qin? How many troops do they have? Where are they stationed? I want to know everything about this."
I heard him ask Qingcheng Sect, Shopkeeper Wang was a little confused.
Seeing the hesitant look on his face, Gu Sheng rapped his knuckles on the table.
"Don't forget, he is the one who wants your life now, and I am the one who protects your life."
After being reminded by Gu Sheng, Shopkeeper Wang gritted his teeth and said, "As far as I know, King Luo has completely handed over Qingcheng Sect to Luo Qin and given strong support. It is said that there is a mysterious force for their use. They are stationed in the south of the city. That The most luxurious house in the area belongs to them, with about a thousand people, most of whom were trained by King Luo, and the rest are people from Luo Qin. However, I heard that the people from Luo Qin are not as strong as King Luo, so they recruited troops, mainly to train a few capable officers."
In the words, Shopkeeper Wang also said something about Saintly Hermit.
However, he knew that Saintly Hermit was the force supporting Luo Qin, but he did not know who was behind the scenes.
He didn't know, but Gu Sheng knew it very well. After hearing every word he said, he nodded thoughtfully.
Just when he was about to speak, Shopkeeper Wang added, "It is said that there is another team under the name of the Qingcheng Sect, which is extraordinary in strength and can annex the world. It can only be used by the Luo family. Others People who touch him will die. It is said that he is stationed in the same mountain. If he doesn't show up, he will hurt people. Do you know Demon? It is said that he is from a mysterious team, and he is not among the top ones there."
After unexpectedly hearing the news, everyone's expressions became extremely cautious.
Demon's entry and exit has caused quite a stir. If it is true as Shopkeeper Wang said, there are many people behind Luo Qin who are more powerful than Demon, and the consequences will be unimaginable!
"Who did you hear these things from?"
"The person from Luo Qin said that he often customizes things here and sends his men to pick them up. Sometimes if he waits a little longer, they will drink tea and chat in my yard. These are what they said during the chat."
Knowing that the origin of these things came from Luo Qin's subordinates, Gu Sheng pinched his eyebrows.
Seeing him like this, Shopkeeper Wang was a little nervous.
"What's wrong? Are you afraid that you can't defeat him and protect me?"
"That's not true. I think it's quite simple to protect you. But I didn't expect him to be so powerful. It's not easy to uproot him."
After Gu Sheng finished speaking, Shopkeeper Wang's eyes widened.
"If you want to uproot him, aren't you just dreaming? Don't forget, he is King Luo's son! The King Luo family is the dominant family in the imperial court, and its scope of influence is so large that we can't even imagine. If you want to deal with him, aren't you trying to block the flow of others?"
Knowing that these things were beyond his cognition, Gu Sheng did not say anything more, but changed the subject and said, "Send Purple Jade Dagger to me at this time tomorrow, and I will send someone to take you away."
Hearing about his own life, Shopkeeper Wang nodded repeatedly.
Looking at him, Gu Sheng said, "Remember to contact people in your circle after you leave. Make sure not to let Luo Qin get anything before Recruitment Convention, otherwise I know your whereabouts and it will be easy for me to kill you."
"I know that since I promised you, I won't go back on my promise. These things are not difficult for me, because there are people here who are deeply oppressed by Luo Qin and have wanted to take action for a long time. I can let them do this."
Speaking of this, Shopkeeper Wang's eyes turned on his hand.
"Doing these things not only requires connections, but also costs a lot of money. You see..."
After his reminder, Gu Sheng then remembered that the money had not been given to him yet, no wonder he had been staring at it furtively.
Pushing the money bag out, Gu Sheng emphasized the matter to him again.
After getting the money, Shopkeeper Wang nodded repeatedly.
After repeated confirmation, Gu Sheng let him go.
Orchid's people followed him to make sure that he didn't come into contact with anyone during this period and just returned home secretly, so her people returned.
After getting the news, Gu Sheng said softly, "Shopkeeper Wang is not a timid person. This matter will most likely be fine. Hong Mei, give him a disguise tomorrow, and then ask Bai Yu to send him away."
"Gu Sheng, where do you want Bai Yu to send him? There should be someone from Luo Qin watching over him. Are you sure you can send him away safely?"
When asking this question, Hong Mei couldn't help but worry in his tone.
"Don't worry, since I can use him I can ensure his safety, Bai Yu, tomorrow you and Shi Lou will take people to the west of the city first, and then summon my small cauldron to cover you, so that no one can detect your aura., you take this opportunity to leave and send him directly to the vicinity of Stone Village. Shi Lou, you go and talk to Third Elder. There are people from the Heavenly Cang Sect over there who can ensure his safety."
Understanding what this meant, Bai Yu extended his thumb.
"Gu Sheng, your brain works really fast. You arranged everything so quickly, and it was arranged seamlessly. If I had your brain, our sect would have made a breakthrough long ago."
After he finished speaking, before Gu Sheng could speak, Shi Lou raised his head proudly.
"That's right, if it weren't for Brother Sheng, do you think we Stone Village would be where we are today? This is all due to Brother Sheng! As long as we are here, no one can take away Brother Sheng!"
Seeing him like this, Bai Yu smiled and patted him.
"I'm just talking, can I still snatch it from you? And Gu Sheng Dao Heart is determined, even if I snatch it, I can't snatch it away! You kid will cooperate well tomorrow, we will go and come back early."
"Don't worry, I will definitely complete the tasks assigned to me by Brother Sheng. I will never hold Brother Sheng back."
After a few people chatted for a while, Gu Sheng said, "It's getting late, let's all go and rest."
Everyone stood up with a smile and walked out while talking.
Seeing that Orchid didn't move, Hong Mei called her, "Orchid, let's go."
Hearing her words, Orchid pinched his handkerchief and said, "Hong Mei, you go ahead. I have something to say to Gu Sheng."
For a moment, Hong Mei's expression changed slightly, and then he slowed down.
"Then I'll accompany you."
After she finished speaking, Orchid waved her hands repeatedly.
"No, no, I'll just chat with him. You can go and rest first."
This time, Hong Mei couldn't control his expression.
Originally, everyone was still talking and laughing, but now they all fell silent. For a moment, they didn't know whether they should leave or not.
Gu Sheng was also a little helpless and asked Orchid: "Do you need to chat alone about something?"
"Yes, I want to talk to you."
"About what?"
Seeing that everyone hadn't left yet, Orchid looked a bit embarrassed.
Gu Sheng said softly, "No need to avoid it, they are all my people, they know everything about me."
After hearing what he said, Orchid could only say softly, "I want to ask you something about the Heavenly Cang Sect. I just heard you say it."
Knowing that she stayed for this matter, Gu Sheng smiled and waved to Hong Mei.
"You asked me about this, but you asked the wrong person. You should ask Hong Mei instead."
Hearing this, Orchid was a little surprised.
Gu Sheng did not look at her, but asked Hong Mei to sit next to him.
"She should know everything you want to know. Everyone else should go and rest first. Hong Mei can stay."
Seeing that Gu Sheng had found a solution, everyone was relieved and then dispersed.
The three of them stayed in the room, Orchid's eyes kept turning between the two of them.
After holding it in for a long time, she finally asked, "Are you... lovers?"
When she asked, Hong Mei blushed unconsciously.
"No."
She and Gu Sheng have never established a relationship, so how can they be called lovers?
When Hong Mei looked up at Gu Sheng, Orchid secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Sheng just pinched his eyebrows and didn't say anything.
"Hong Mei, are you also from the Heavenly Cang Sect? Aren't you from the Mirror Sect?"
After thinking for a while, Hong Mei said, "I am indeed from the Mirror Sect, but Mirror Sect is affiliated with the Heavenly Cang Sect."
Knowing this, Orchid was even more surprised.
"No wonder you dared to confront King Luo as soon as you came here. It turns out that your identities are far more complicated than I thought. Hong Mei, have you seen Peerless Hermit?"
"I've seen you before. I'm Peerless Hermit's disciple."
Suddenly learning Hong Mei's true identity, Orchid froze.
"What about Gu Sheng? Are you also a disciple of Peerless Hermit?"
"I'm not."
"It turns out you are not, Hong Mei is..."
I didn't expect that Hong Mei had such a high status. Orchid didn't say these words, but his mood was a bit complicated.
