Chapter 294 Gu Yuzhi

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

Many shops on the street are closed, and most of the beastmasters coming and going are in a hurry and serious.

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

The elders at home asked him to go to the City Lord first after coming to Stone City. The City Lord of Stone City is close to Daxia, and he can provide a lot of help.

Chen Xing looked at Zhao Guangming in confusion, and Zhao Guangming gave him an affirmative look.

"Let me see."

Chen Xing knew that Zhao Guangming had more information sources than himself, so he took out the map from his backpack and spread it out. The location of the Stone City City Lord's Mansion was 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 the activities against Jiuchi City this time were mainly pushed by Stone City behind the scenes?"

"I heard such a rumor." Zhao Guangming nodded.

Chen Xing felt it was a little unbelievable. No matter how deep the conflict between Stone City and Nine Red City was, it was still a conflict within the Burning Heaven Territory.

Now this internal conflict has a tendency to develop into an external conflict.

Even foreign forces were introduced, um. I'm talking about Daxia.

I didn't expect that Daxia would become a foreign force one day.

Ten minutes later, the group arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.

After reporting to the guard at the door, they thought the other party would ask about their identities, but the guard just looked at them and said wait, and then one of the four guards reported inside.

After a while, the guard who left returned, "The City Lord asked your leader to go over, no more than three people."

"You and Qin Bo go with me." Chen Xing asked Zhao Guangming and Qin Bo to accompany him.

Zhao Guangming was because his identity was the highest except for himself.

Qin Bo was because his beast taming strength was the strongest except for himself. Chen Xing had seen Qin Bo summon his beast taming once, and his strength was enough to transcend the seventh level.

Entering the City Lord's Mansion, many architectural styles inside made Chen Xing feel familiar. After a slight comparison, he found that it was somewhat similar to the style of the palace in the north of Daxia.

Could it be that the Lord of Stone City is a Daxia fan?

Walking through the corridor, there was a faint voice in the backyard, as if someone was talking.

Then accompanied by the sound of wind, there was the sound of wings flapping.

"Then I'll go first."

Walking into the backyard, only the back of a beast was seen.

And there was a person sitting in the yard, who 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 turned out to be him! ?

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

Why could there be a war between Stone City and Jiuchi City.

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

But didn't he die? I have seen his grave.

But he actually came back to life, not only alive, but also became the Lord of Stone City.

Of course, Gu Yuzhi definitely didn't know him, he just knew 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 have seen you."

"I know you too." Gu Yuzhi smiled.

Chen Xing was stunned. He tried to recall that he should not have seen this General Gu anywhere else except in the illusion.

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

Chen Xing's heart skipped a beat. Even if he didn't believe it, he had to believe where Gu Yuzhi had said he had met him.

Gu Yuzhi in the illusion actually retained that memory? Could it be related to the ability of the mirage dragon?

But how could it be possible? Not to mention that it was just an illusion, there was more than one parallel copy of the illusion of Tieyan Pass during the college entrance examination. With so many illusions, he happened to meet the "original" in the illusion he was in?

"I went to see some old friends at that time." Gu Yuzhi shook her head, "I just happened to meet some interesting people."

As she spoke, she seemed to miss the past, and Gu Yuzhi sighed, "If you were really there back then, maybe the ending would be a little different."

Zhao Guangming didn't know Gu Yuzhi, but he heard the conversation between Chen Xing and Gu Yuzhi.

He was a little surprised that Chen Xing and the Lord of Stone City actually knew each other, and that the Lord of Stone City was also from Daxia?

Because Gu Yuzhi's black hair and black eyes were very obvious, and he spoke Daxia language very fluently.

Generally, only the mother tongue can speak so standardly.

But it's a good thing that the two can know each other, and this can help their team more.

"Your information was sent a few days ago, and I was a little surprised when I saw your avatar at that time." Gu Yuzhi said softly.

It seems that he entered the illusion of the mirage dragon last year.

Only one year has passed, and that little soldier has become the leader of a team.

Even during the war when he was there, he did not make such rapid progress.

He saw a different hope in this young man.

After a moment of silence, 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."

"Before, there were four most famous mercenary groups in the Stone City area, the Gray Fox, the Heart of Resistance, the Holy Flame Sword and Shield, and the Stone Gate Fortress Mercenary Group.

These four mercenary groups have more or less conflicts with Jiuchi City, and some even have blood feuds. They are all strong and have a large number of people. They have accumulated strength for decades for revenge, but they all have partners."

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

Sure enough, war is never a whim, but a premeditated one.

Preparations for today's situation have been made for decades, or even earlier.

"Are there any other suitable mercenary groups nearby?" Zhao Guangming asked.

Gu Yuzhi shook her head, "If we compare with these four organizations, there are no similar ones."

"What about those that are slightly inferior?"

"There are none that are slightly inferior." Gu Yuzhi smiled.

Chen Xing said, "But since City Lord Gu has received us, it means that there must be a candidate, right?"

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

Chen Xing asked, "What are the conditions?"

Gu Yuzhi said, "No conditions."

After a pause, Gu Yuzhi added, "There were some before, but after seeing you, there are none.

In addition to 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 Guard to us? Don't worry, we will definitely take good care of our brothers." Zhao Guangming was overjoyed.

There is such a good thing.

Originally, I was just going to play around. If I could command the City Guard of Stone City, I might have a chance to make greater contributions.

The city guards of Stone City are definitely not weak, because according to intelligence, the city defense force of Stone City has become increasingly strong in recent years, as can be seen from the mercenaries and beastmasters who can suppress the comings and goings of Stone City.

If there is not enough powerful force, how can we suppress this group of individual beastmasters and large and small mercenary groups.

"How can the city defense force be given to you? Who will protect the safety of Stone City after giving it to you?" Gu Yuzhi laughed, "But the city guards of Stone City are not static. Our city guards in Stone City are treated very well, but there are also many rules. There are always some city guards who make mistakes and will be fired, or some older city guards retire. They have strength, but they are just lacking a suitable job now. I believe that as long as there is a sufficiently generous salary, they will not mind re-summoning beasts to fight for you."

Chen Xing's eyes lit up.

This is indeed a group of high-quality talents.

First of all, the city guards who made mistakes, generally such people are called thorns in the army.

But those who can become thorns are often not too weak.

Those who have the ability but like to break the rules are called troublemakers.

The second is the retired city guards. The beastmasters are not like ordinary people in battle. The older the ordinary soldiers are, the less experienced they are, but their physical fitness will decline, and they will naturally be unable to continue fighting.

But the beastmasters are different. The older they are, the richer their combat experience is, and the beastmasters rely on the beasts they control!

The life span of the beasts they control is naturally not comparable to that of the beastmasters.

Chen Xing said neither humbly nor arrogantly. "Then I'll trouble City Lord Gu."

Among these beastmasters who came out of the city guards, only Gu Yuzhi has the ability to gather them together again.

Ordinary people don't have this ability.

Gu Yuzhi nodded, "Then you wait for two days. Some of the beastmasters who withdrew from the Stone City City Guards have left Stone City. It takes time to recall them."

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

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

"Don't trouble two people for one thing. I'll trouble City Lord Gu." Chen Xing said.

No wonder there were no extra arrangements for accommodation before coming here. Perhaps Prime Minister Zhao or Principal Yan would have mentioned Gu Yuzhi's identity.

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

"Su Lai, take them to the residence in the west district. Make sure the location is spacious." Gu Yuzhi said to the yard behind him.

Then a native of Fentian Territory with red hair and red eyes came out of the shadows and said to Chen Xing in a half-baked Daxia language: "Guest, please follow me."

When Chen Xing followed Su Lai and was about to leave, Gu Yuzhi's voice came from behind, "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 moved, and some details on his face changed, but the temperament of his entire face changed dramatically. If he hadn't seen him before, Chen Xing would never recognize him as Gu Yuzhi.

The pupils of this face also turned dark red, but Chen Xing noticed that Su Lai had no strange expression on this, and it seemed that he had known about it for a long time.

After leading Chen Xing out of the City Lord's Mansion, he took him to a continuous residential area in the west district.

Chen Xing noticed that this residential area seemed to have been built not long ago.

Many of the surrounding walls showed signs of new construction.

Some of the walls also showed signs of human activities.

"Hey, are you also from Daxia?"

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

Chen Xing looked in the direction of the voice.

A Daxia man with black hair and black eyes sat on the courtyard wall and greeted them.

Chen Xing nodded slightly, without much communication.

Although the man seemed to be sitting casually, Chen Xing felt a special smell from him.

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

"Guest, this area is your residential area, and the area behind this wall is yours, which 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 surrounded the surrounding area, and there were some slightly shorter courtyard walls and neatly stacked stone buildings.

The architectural style of Stone City is very square, with a square beauty.

"Thank you." Chen Xing expressed his gratitude.

Su Lai shook his head and said 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 a merit, and Chen Xing will naturally not miss it if there is a chance.

"It should be, I will try my best."

The two smiled at each other.

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

"I can see that he is also a super-class beastmaster." Chen Xing narrowed his eyes. Just now, during the close contact along the way, Chen Xing clearly sensed that the Su Lai next to him had an extremely powerful heart.

The super-class beastmaster who can serve Gu Yuzhi personally must not be 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 strength of Gu Yuzhi.

You know, six hundred years ago, Gu Yuzhi was already a super-class beastmaster.

Chi Xing, who attacked Tieyan Pass at the time, has become the chief priest of the Burning Heaven Temple.

After six hundred years, it is unknown to what extent Gu Yuzhi's beastmaster has grown.

However, seeing Gu Yuzhi today surprised Chen Xing more. A general who had died in the records appeared in Stone City and became the lord of Stone City.

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

In the past six hundred years, Daxia has come to foreign lands without knowing how many beastmasters.

"Do you know that Gu Yuzhi?" Zhao Guangming was curious. His old man didn't tell him about this.

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

"Uh, should I know?" Zhao Guangming was puzzled.

Chen Xing thought about it. Many people who took the college entrance examination had seen Gu Yuzhi.

But Gu Yuzhi had just told him to keep it a secret. It would be bad if he leaked it out.

"Go back and ask your father. Your father must know."

Chen Xing believed that Zhao Shoufu must know.

Seeing that Chen Xing was unwilling to say it, Zhao Guangming snorted, "Actually, I don't really want to know. I can guess it myself. I'm really not very curious. Forget it."

"."

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

"Boss, someone wants to see you."

"Who?"

"A woman said her last name is Han."
