After Cheating, I Became the Strongest Beast Master

Chapter 294 Gu Yuzhi

But perhaps because of the war period, at least Stone City looks a little depressed at the moment.

Many shops on the street are closed, and most of the beast masters coming and going are in a hurry and have serious expressions.

"We can go to the City Lord's Mansion first." Zhao Guangming said in Chen Xing's ear. Zhao Guangming had received the news before coming.

The elders in the family asked him to go to the city lord first after coming to Stone City. The lord of Stone City was close to Daxia and he could provide a lot of help.

Chen Xing looked at Zhao Guangming doubtfully, and Zhao Guangming gave a affirmative look in return.

"let me see."

Chen Xing knew that Zhao Guangming's intelligence sources were richer than his own, so he took out the map from his backpack and spread it out. The main palace of Stone City was located to the north of the teleportation array, not too far away.

On the way to the City Lord's Mansion, Chen Xing talked with Zhao Guangming.

“I heard that Stone City is behind this campaign against Jiuchi City?”

“I heard such rumors.” Zhao Guangming nodded.

Chen Xing found it a bit unbelievable. No matter how deep the contradiction between Stone City and Jiuchi City was, it was still a contradiction within the Burning Sky Territory.

 Now this internal contradiction has the tendency to develop into an external contradiction.

 Even introduced foreign forces, well, I’m talking about Daxia.

I didn’t expect that Daxia would one day become a foreign power.

 Ten minutes later, the group arrived at the city lord's mansion.

　　After reporting to the guard at the door, I thought the other party would ask about their identity. Unexpectedly, the guard just glanced at them and said wait a moment, and then one of the four guards came inside to report.

After a while, the departing guard returned, "The city lord lets your leaders pass, no more than three people at most."

 “You and Uncle Qin come with me.” Chen Xing asked Zhao Guangming and Uncle Qin to accompany him.

 Zhao Guangming is because he has the highest status besides himself.

Uncle Qin's reason was that his ability to control beasts was the strongest besides his own. Chen Xing had seen Uncle Qin summon his beast control once, and his strength was enough to reach the seventh level of transcendence.

 Entering the City Lord's Mansion, many architectural styles inside gave Chen Xing a familiar feeling. After a slight comparison, he found that they were somewhat similar to the style of the northern palaces of Daxia.

The lord of Stone City must be a fan of Daxia.

Across the corridor, there was a faint sound coming from the backyard, as if someone was talking.

 Then followed by the sound of wind and the sound of flapping wings.

 “Then I’ll leave first.”

Walking into the backyard, I saw only the back of a beast.

There was a person sitting in the yard, and he gestured to Chen Xing and the others, "Sit down."

The moment he saw this person, a buzzing flashed through Chen Xing's head.

The legendary Lord of Stone City is actually him! ?

 At this moment, Chen Xing understood all the causes and consequences.

 Why can there be a war between Stone City and Jiuchizhi City?

 Because the lord of Stone City turned out to be Gu Yuzhi!

 But isn’t he dead? I have even seen his grave.

 But he unexpectedly came back to life. Not only did he come back to life, he also became the Lord of Stone City.

Of course, Gu Yuzhi definitely doesn’t know him, but he only knows him unilaterally.

 General Gu Yuzhi in the illusion left a deep impression on Chen Xing.

 “Do you know me?” Gu Yuzhi suddenly asked Chen Xing.

After a moment of silence, Chen Xing replied, "I've seen it."

“I know you too.” Gu Yuzhi smiled.

Chen Xing was stunned. He tried to recall that he had probably never seen General Gu anywhere except in the fantasy world.

Gu Yuzhi blinked and chuckled: "I avenged you at that time, didn't I?"

Chen Xing's heart skipped a beat. No matter how much he didn't believe it, he still had to believe that Gu Yuzhi said he had met him somewhere.

Gu Yuzhi in the fantasy world actually retained that memory? Could it be related to Mirage Dragon's ability?

But how is it possible, not to mention that it is just an illusion, but that there is more than one parallel copy of the illusion of Tieyan Pass during the college entrance examination? There are so many illusions, and you actually meet the "original deity" in the illusion you are in?

“It was to meet some old friends.” Gu Yuzhi shook his head, “I happened to meet some interesting people.”

As he spoke, he seemed to be nostalgic for the past, and Gu Yuzhi said with emotion, "If you were really here back then, maybe the ending would have changed a little bit."

 Zhao Guangming did not know Gu Yuzhi, but he heard the conversation between Chen Xing and Gu Yuzhi.

Somewhat surprised, Chen Xing and the lord of Stone City actually knew each other, and the lord of Stone City was also from Daxia?

Because Gu Yuzhi’s black hair and eyes are obvious, and he speaks Daxia dialect very fluently.

 Generally only native speakers can speak so well.

 But it’s a good thing that the two can get to know each other, and it will be more helpful to their team.

"Your information was sent over a few days ago. I was a little surprised when I saw your profile picture." Gu Yuzhi said softly.

It seems like it was last year that he entered the illusion of the mirage.

In just one year, that little soldier turned into a leader leading a team.

 Even during the war he was in, there was no such rapid progress.

 He saw a different hope in this young man.

After pondering for a moment, Gu Yuzhi said: "Your mission is to lead a mercenary group and then assist in the attack on Jiuchi City. In fact, there are not many suitable mercenary groups now."

“There were four most famous mercenary groups in the Stone City area before, the Gray Fox, the Heart of Resistance, the Holy Flame Sword and Shield, and the Shimen Fortress Mercenary Group.

These four mercenary groups have more or less conflicts with Jiuchi City, and some even have blood feuds. They are not weak in strength, and they have a large number of people. They have accumulated decades of strength for revenge, but they all have partners. "

 Chen Xing was a little surprised when he heard these secrets.

Sure enough, war is never a spur of the moment, but is planned in advance.

 Preparations for today’s situation have been underway decades ago, or even earlier.

“Are there any suitable mercenary groups nearby?” Zhao Guangming asked.

Gu Yuzhi shook his head, "If you want to compare with these four organizations, none of them have nearly the same strength."

 “What about the inferior one?”

 “There are no worse ones.” Gu Yuzhi smiled.

Chen Xing said: "But since City Lord Gu has received us, it means there must be someone chosen, right?"

"Yes, and it is better than the other four."

 Chen Xing asked: "What are the conditions?"

Gu Yuzhi said, "There are no conditions."

 After a pause, Gu Yuzhi added: "Originally, I had it before, but after seeing you, it disappeared.

 Other than these four mercenary groups, the largest armed force in Stone City is the city guard. "

"City Lord Gu, are you going to hand over the city guards to us!? Don't worry, we will definitely take good care of our brothers." Zhao Guangming was overjoyed.

There is also such a good thing. Originally, I was just planning to draw a line in the water. If I could command the city guards of Stone City, I might have a chance to make greater achievements.

The city guards of Stone City are definitely not weak, because according to intelligence, the city defense force of Stone City has become stronger and stronger in recent years, which can be seen from the mercenaries and beast masters who can suppress the traffic in Stone City.

How can we suppress this group of individual beast masters and large and small mercenary groups without strong enough force?

"How can the city defense army be given to you? Who will protect the safety of Stone City after I give it to you?" Gu Yuzhi laughed, "But the city guards of Stone City are not static. Our city guards of Stone City are treated very well, but the rules are also Many, there will always be some City Guards who have made mistakes and will be fired, or some older City Guards will retire. They all have the ability, but they just lack a suitable job now. I believe that as long as they have a sufficiently generous salary, , they won’t mind summoning the beasts again to fight for you.”

 Chen Xing’s eyes lit up.

 This is indeed a group of high-quality talents.

 The first is the city guard who made a mistake. Generally, such people are called thornheads in the army.

 But those who can become a thorn are usually not too bad in strength.

 Those who are capable and like to break rules are called pricks.

Secondly, there are the retired city guards. The battle of the beast masters is not ordinary people. The older the ordinary soldiers are, even if they are experienced, their physical fitness will decline and they will naturally be unable to continue fighting.

But beast masters are different. The older they are, the more combat experience they have, and the beast masters rely on beast masters to fight!

The lifespan of a beast master is naturally not comparable to that of a beast master.

 Chen Xing said neither humble nor arrogant. "Then I'll trouble City Lord Gu."

These beast masters who came out of the city guard army, only Gu Yuzhi has the ability to reunite them.

 Most people don’t have this ability.

Gu Yuzhi nodded, "Then you wait for two days. Some of the beast masters who had previously withdrawn from the Stone City Guards have left Stone City. It will take time to recall them."

 Chen Xing said: "We are not in a hurry."

"Okay, do you have a place to stay? Do you need me to arrange it?"

 “It’s a waste of time and trouble for City Master Gu.” Chen Xing said.

  No wonder they didn’t make too many arrangements for accommodation before coming. I’m afraid Zhao Shoufu or Principal Yan mentioned that they knew Gu Yuzhi’s identity.

With a Stone City City Lord here, there is no need to deliberately prepare unnecessary things.

“Su Lai, take them to their residence in the West District and arrange a spacious location.” Gu Yuzhi said to the yard behind him.

I saw a native of the Burning Sky Territory with red hair and red eyes walking out of the shadows and speaking to Chen Xing in half-baked Daxia dialect: "Guest, please follow me."

When Chen Xing was about to leave following Su Lai, Gu Yuzhi's voice came from behind him, "By the way, remember to keep it a secret for me."

Chen Xing turned around and saw Gu Yuzhi reaching out and wiping his face.

The next second, the muscles on his face squirmed, and some details on his face changed, but the temperament of the entire face changed drastically. If Chen Xing had not seen him before, Chen Xing would never have recognized him as Gu Yuzhi.

Moreover, the pupils of this face also turned dark red, but Chen Xing noticed that Su Lai had no strange expression about this, and it seemed that he had already known it.

 Leading Chen Xing and the others out of the city lord's mansion, they took them to a continuous residential area in the West District.

Chen Xing noticed that this residential area seemed to be newly built.

 Many of the surrounding walls are signs of new construction.

 Some of the walls still have traces of human activity.

 “Hey, you are also from Daxia?”

 A voice suddenly came from a courtyard wall not far away.

 Chen Xing looked along the sound.

A Daxia man with black hair and black eyes was sitting on the wall of the courtyard and greeted them.

 Chen Xing nodded slightly and did not communicate much.

Although the man's sitting posture seemed casual, Chen Xing felt a special flavor from him.

He had only seen that kind of smell on people in the army.

"Guests, this area is your residential area. The area behind this wall is yours. It can accommodate a thousand people." Su Lai said to Chen Xing.

Chen Xing looked at the huge mansion in front of him.

 A high wall surrounds the surrounding area, and there are some slightly shorter courtyard walls inside, as well as neatly stacked stone buildings.

The architectural style of Stone City is very square and has a square aesthetic.

 “Thank you.” Chen Xing expressed his gratitude.

Su Lai shook his head and said honestly and honestly: "You're welcome. Just kill a few more people from Jiuchi City."

 This request is indeed simple.

However, the head of every official resident of Jiuchi City is meritorious, and Chen Xing will naturally not miss it if he has the opportunity.

 “Yes, I’ll try my best.”

 The two looked at each other and smiled.

Looking at Su Lai's back, Zhao Guangming suddenly said: "This Su Lai is not like an ordinary servant."

“I can see that he is also a super beast master.” Chen Xing narrowed his eyes. During the close encounter, Chen Xing could clearly sense that the Su Lai next to him had an extremely powerful heart.

A super-level beast master who can serve Gu Yuzhi personally is definitely not ordinary. The most important thing is that he also knows the secret of Gu Yuzhi's identity, which shows that he is definitely a confidant.

 Chen Xing is actually more curious about the extent of Gu Yuzhi's strength.

You must know that Gu Yuzhi was already a super beast master six hundred years ago.

Chi Xing, who originally attacked Tieyan Pass, has become the chief priest of the Burning Sky Temple.

Six hundred years have passed, and it is unknown to what extent Gu Yuzhi’s beast control has grown.

However, Chen Xing was more surprised to see Gu Yuzhi today. A general who was dead in the records appeared in Stone City and became the lord of Stone City.

 Is this a special case or a large number of cases?

In the past six hundred years, countless beast masters from Daxia have come to foreign lands.

"Do you know that Gu Yuzhi?" Zhao Guangming was curious, but the old man didn't tell him about it.

Chen Xing nodded, then looked at Zhao Guangming strangely, "You don't know?"

 “Uh, should I know?” Zhao Guangming was confused.

Chen Xing thought for a moment. Many people who took the college entrance examination had met Gu Yuzhi.

 But Gu Yuzhi just told her to keep it a secret, so it wouldn't be good if she turned around and leaked it.

“Go back and ask your father, your father will definitely know.”

Chen Xing believes that Zhao Shoufu must know.

Seeing Chen Xing's reluctance to say, Zhao Guangming snorted, "Actually, I don't really want to know. I can guess it myself. I'm really not very curious, so just don't tell me."

ˆ “.”

After everyone settled in, because there were many vacant rooms, everyone had an independent room. Chen Xing just walked around the yard twice and found that the environment was good, when Ning Yi's voice came from outside the door.

 “Head, someone wants to see you.”

"who?"

 “A woman, said her surname was Han.”
