He is about to return to Xing County, and Lin County's surveillance and observation of him should also end.
"Fellow Daoist Gu, I have to say goodbye today. I don't know when we will see each other again, and we may not see you again. The Ai family will miss you."
Medusa's eyes flickered and she said with a hint of ambiguity.
Over the past month or so, Gu Chen had become accustomed to the tone of voice of this beautiful snake, so he just replied lightly, "Your Majesty, take care."
Medusa smiled nonchalantly and looked at Gu Chen's handsome features with twinkling eyes.
Over the past month, she had tried every means to find out the secrets of the other party's cultivation, but unfortunately she had gained very little.
Although there is not much information about his strength, I have learned a lot about his temperament and his style of dealing with people, so it is not like I have learned nothing.
This little interaction made her pay more and more attention to the person in front of her and see his potential value.
"Fellow Daoist Gu, you have to be careful when you go back this time. It is said that in order to deal with the challenge from Lin County, Xingjun sent Crime Suppressor to the front line. Although you and the Fang family's plan is perfect, you are still playing with fire."
Medusa suddenly restrained her frivolous tone and reminded her seriously.
Gu Chen was slightly surprised and nodded. "The Fang family has told me the situation, and I have my own opinion."
"in addition."
Medusa paused for a moment and said meaningfully, "If Gu Daoyou wants to be the most powerful person, he always needs allies. You can consider the Aijia."
Gu Chen was even more surprised, his eyes flashed and he said: "Are you talking about Queen Medusa under Lin County?"
"No, it's just me." The corners of Medusa's mouth raised slightly.
Gu Chen thought thoughtfully and re-examined Queen Medusa. "It seems that I have passed the test given by County Lin?"
"I will go through that test for Fellow Daoist Gu, but courtesy must be reciprocated. Fellow Daoist Gu, don't forget about the Aijia in the future." Medusa replied.
"That's natural. I hope we can have a happy cooperation."
Gu Chen smiled and thought to himself, it seems that there is another uneasy factor in this chaos.
"Then the Ai family will say goodbye. You can deal with these people by yourself."
Medusa threw the stone statues of Wuli and the two generals out of her body, turned around and headed towards the distant starry sky.
As she went away, the petrified state of Wuli and the two generals slowly disappeared, and they woke up in a daze.
"Master Gu, what happened?" Wuli asked confusedly, and the other two people also looked confused.
"You finally woke up, here's what happened."
Gu Chen turned around and looked at the three of them. His eyes turned purple and blue, and powerful soul power came out of his body, covering the three of them...
One day later, the sixteenth border.
After Lin County's army took over the Seven Realms, they stationed most of their military forces in the Third Realm out of multiple considerations.
In order to respond, Xingjun dispatched a large number of newly dispatched troops and stationed them in the Sixteenth Realm, which borders the Third Realm. In comparison, the military strength stationed in the outer world was much smaller.
As a result, the Sixteenth Realm was armed to the teeth by Xingjun. Flags were flying everywhere, especially the military camp, where there were forests of spears and halberds.
At this time, outside the border, four people crossed the starry sky and were heading towards the Xingjun camp!
The patrolling Xingjun soldiers noticed this situation almost immediately. Seeing that the other party came openly and without any scruples, they immediately stepped forward to stop and investigate.
"How presumptuous! Who dares to stop Lord Gu Chengu, the general of Heaven's Punishment, from returning? Why don't you go and report it to your superiors!"
Wuli immediately scolded the soldiers and took out the token representing his identity.
"Master Gu is back?"
Several soldiers couldn't help but look at Gu Chen, who was in the middle, with stern expressions on their faces.
During this period of time, the war between Xing County and Lin County has begun, and there is a lot of news about Lord Gu.
Rumor has it that he was betrayed by his deputy, and his army was wiped out before his disappearance became a mystery. Unexpectedly, he came back at this time!
"Please wait!"
Several soldiers realized the importance of the matter, and one hurriedly went to report it, while the others stayed to receive it.
Soon, the news of Gu Chen's return quickly spread, and many generals came to pick him up in person!
"It's really Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu, you are back!"
The leading general was quite shocked when he saw Gu Chen, but he concealed his expression very well and respectfully invited him deep into the army.
Gu Chen followed him all the way through the garrison. A large number of soldiers came upon hearing the news and looked at him and whispered.
"Master Gu is actually still alive. Rumors say he is dead."
"It doesn't matter if he's alive. As a natural punishment general, his entire army was wiped out during his first expedition. Even if there is a reason, he will definitely be punished by the military."
Countless soldiers discussed this matter, and Gu Chen also used his consciousness to listen secretly. He found that the information the soldiers learned was not much different from what he wanted, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The Fang family has done a good job in controlling public opinion. Although some people are dissatisfied with his failure this time, there is far from a trend of shouting and killing.
"Gu Chen, I didn't expect that a lost dog like you would have the nerve to come back!"
As soon as he walked into the commander's barracks, Gu Chen heard a heavy cold snort in his ears.
A strong man carrying a broad-bladed sword strode toward him with a menacing look and an evil look on his face.
Gu Chen narrowed his eyes. It turned out that the general of Heaven's Punishment, Demon Mountain, was also on the front line!
When Gu Chen first accepted the appointment of Lord Xingdao, he had a verbal conflict with the Demonic Mountain. Now that he spoke so rudely, it was obviously because of his defeat.
Xingjun respects military force, especially in the military department.
Having suffered a defeat, he naturally became a lost dog to the Demon Mountain, which believed in the law of the jungle and the strong, and could be bullied at will.
"Fellow Taoist Demon Mountain, it's a bit unpleasant to talk like that."
Gu Chen stopped and responded calmly.
At this moment, he is returning as a loser. He will inevitably face difficulties and must pretend to be lacking in confidence.
"Isn't it hard to hear? As General of Heaven's Punishment, you led your troops on your first expedition. As a result, your entire army was wiped out, and you brought back two or three cats and dogs. Am I wrong?"
Mo Shan sneered, his words made everyone in Wuli angry and embarrassed.
"Do you know the consequences of failure in this battle? Because of you, I, Xing County, lost seven realms, and I have to come here to wipe your ass. But you are lucky, you hid for more than a month before coming back!"
The magic mountain really feels like a magic mountain, and a terrifying sense of oppression comes to you as you speak.
His words aroused the same sentiments among many generals present, and many looked at Gu Chen with particularly contemptuous eyes.
"The defeat this time was indeed due to my carelessness. I will naturally plead guilty to my lord and apply for meritorious service. There is no need for you to talk nonsense here."
Gu Chen pretended to look ugly and said.
"Dedicate one's crime to meritorious deeds?"
After hearing this, Mo Shan and his subordinates looked at each other and laughed.
"Gu Chen, with your record, you still want to be punished and meritorious service? You are too naive? You should think carefully about how to exonerate yourself in front of the military trial!"
"Someone, take him down!"
Mo Shan shouted loudly and ordered his subordinates to step forward and detain Gu Chen.
