Tianlei City (1)
After a chat between the two, they finally decided on the future development path of Ziqing Sacred Land.
Reform! There must be reforms!
While Tang Fei was trying to digest the reform plan pointed out by Feng Shao, there was finally movement on Chu Qing’s side.
For a long time, Chu Qing treated Gu Sheng like a housekeeper, and Gu Sheng took care of everything, big and small, inside and out. And all he needed to do was cultivate, and well, flirt with girls everywhere…
This time, it was still Gu Sheng who was responsible for recruiting forces for Chu Qing again, but the effect this time was far from as good as before. There is no other reason, the main reason is that Chu Qing’s reputation has become increasingly worse.
The so-called “good people get more help, but unjust people get little help.”
This is not a cliché, but a fact.
No matter how many people keep yelling that “people who don’t act for themselves will be destroyed by heaven and earth,” in the final analysis, such words are actually just making excuses for their own wrong behavior.
Given the choice, no one would want to have such a person as an ally.It is enough for him to be a selfish person alone, and everyone other than himself should be a gentleman.
Chu Qing has always thought so, and he also always acted like so. But not everyone is a fool, it is impossible to let Chu Qing always get what he wants. When Chu Qing was no longer useful, they were no longer willing to surround Chu Qing and stage a scene where “everyone gathers firewood and the fire burns high.”
That was why it didn’t take long for all the forces that Gu Sheng managed to win over to leave this interest group with various excuses. This made Gu Sheng, who had worked so hard, feel the urge to vomit blood.
In fact, in the final analysis, no matter how capable Gu Sheng is, she is still a girl who is only nineteen years old in essence. Deep in her heart, she also yearns for the romantic love of “being with one person for a lifetime,” and hopes that someone can provide her with a warm embrace when she is tired.
But Chu Qing was obviously not the person in her dreams.
While Gu Sheng was busy soliciting influence, Chu Qing was flirting with Yang Youqing.
While Gu Sheng was busy taking care of the forces under his command, Chu Qing was busy flirting with other lesser women.
While Gu Sheng was busy wandering among various forces, Chu Qing was making trouble everywhere.
Chu Qing lets Gu Sheng do all the work, and he only praises a few words after Gu Sheng has done everything well, then says a few words about her having worked hard, and in the end, he accepts the fruits of it all with peace of mind.
If Chu Qing had always been the unshakable favored one of heaven, Gu Sheng might really have accepted her fate like this. But after Feng Shao intervened, Chu Qing’s hidden weakness under the protagonist’s halo was exposed.
For Gu Sheng, this is both a crisis and an opportunity.
Crisis refers to the possibility of her being implicated by Chu Qing; opportunity refers to the possibility of being able to get rid of Chu Qing.
Originally, Gu Sheng’s plan was to use Chu Qing’s last bit of influence to get a few more bargaining chips for the Gu family. But as Chu Qing’s reputation continued to deteriorate, this plan seemed to be becoming more and more illusory.
Just when Gu Sheng was about to give up, a turning point suddenly appeared.
This turning point came from the Chongyang Sword Sect and the Xuanlei Sect.
The fiasco of the Chongyang Sword Sect and Xuanlei Sect has long been known throughout Beizhou. Now, most of the disciples of the Chongyang Sword Sect and the Xuanlei Sect can’t hide within the sect, but a sect of this level does not refer to just a mere mountain.
Outside their respective mountains, the two major sects each have hundreds of strongholds, the so-called “sect branches.”
These strongholds are usually used to provide assistance to disciples of the sect passing by, or to provide communication channels for those who need to contact the sect mountain.
Of course, these strongholds often have to take into account the task of collecting intelligence, but this kind of thing is usually done in private, and it is not appropriate to show it off publicly.
The disciples of the mountain can’t come out, but the outlying strongholds are starting to move around for the situation of the sect.
They contacted those sects and forces that had good relations with their sect, trying to break the situation from this aspect. After their hard work, many aristocratic families really gathered together and began to discuss countermeasures.
The Tiangang Sword Sect is already powerful, and with the blessing of Wuling City’s special weapons, it is even more powerful, and it is simply reaching the level of being invincible in Beizhou.
Although these aristocratic families don’t know what happened at the foot of Chongyang Mountain and Xuanlei Mountain, they can see the clues just from the two sects staying behind closed doors.
These aristocratic families are all die-hard loyalists of the two sects, and they are veteran vassals who have followed the two sects for hundreds or even thousands of years.
They all knew very well that if the Chongyang Sword Sect and the Xuanlei Sect could not win this conflict, then they would never have a good fruit in the end.
