Chapter 162: Change of heart, invitation of the alliance, death date of the city defense After several days of intense construction, the village on Shepan Mountain has begun to take shape. There were no leaks in the Juyi Hall, reception room, living room, dining room, square, attic, garden, etc. in the mountain stronghold. When Chu Ge arrived at the mountain village, Wang Xiuyun had already been received in the VIP room which was decorated in a classical and luxurious style. "Sir, an old friend of yours named Wang in Linyuan City is visiting. She came from Jiangcheng Prefecture and asked to see you." Mingchun, a member of the Poison Team, said respectfully to Chu Ge. "Well, I see!" Chu Ge nodded slightly, "I am no longer an official of the court. You don't have to call me Sir in the future." Mingchun was stunned. Just as he was thinking about how to address him, Chu Ge said, "I have another friend coming soon. After you receive him, ask him to go to Juyi Hall and wait for a while." After saying that, Chu Ge entered the VIP lounge and saw Wang Xiuyun's slightly thin figure sitting upright on a chair at the bottom. Compared with her former youthful, confident and generous image, Wang Xiuyun now looks rather down and out.

"Xiuyun." Chu Ge walked over and asked with a smile, "Why are you here suddenly?" "Chu Ge!" Wang Xiuyun stood up hurriedly and turned around to see Chu Ge's tall, sturdy and majestic figure. The bulging and strong muscles under the thin clothes seemed to show his amazing strength. Although his cold and calm eyes were smiling at the moment, they also had a sense of confidence and intimidating power. She felt inexplicably ashamed of herself, and forced a cheerful smile, saying, "Chu Ge, you are now the third-highest master on the list. The city is in chaos right now, and people often go missing, including many from our major families. I am a poor boy from my childhood and I want to seek refuge with you. You won't chase me down the mountain, right?" "People often go missing in the city?" Chu Ge was surprised, and looked at Wang Xiuyun deeply, then smiled calmly, "If you really want to stay with me, I would certainly welcome you. In fact, even if other fellow villagers from Linyuan County come to seek refuge with me, I will take them in." After he said this, Wang Xiuyun couldn't help but smile more reluctantly, feeling quite empty in her heart. She knew that Chu Ge was not treating her favorably, but was willing to extend this tolerance to all his fellow villagers. This actually means that the place she occupies in the other person's heart is not very big. In this way, it would be difficult for her to fulfill the trust and instructions given by the head of the Yun family, but at this moment she could only smile politely. "You are still as kind-hearted as ever." She used honorifics and praised Chu Ge for his kindness, trying to pave the way for her subsequent request. "We are all in this world together, it's just a small favor." Chu Ge smiled and shook his head, raising his hand to invite the other party to sit down and talk, "However, you should also know that although I seem to be in a good position, I have actually offended many people. If you are not afraid of being implicated, I welcome you to stay in Shepan Mountain." Wang Xiuyun sighed in her heart, but did not sit down. Her eyes flashed with a trace of determination, and she said sincerely, "Chu Ge, you also know that I am about to marry into the Yun family. If the Yun family has any grudges with you, the head of the Yun family died in your hands, and this grudge should be written off. I came here this time to ask you to show some mercy and return our Yun family's magic weapon, the Yunfeng Ruler. I hope you can grant me this favor for the sake of our past friendship."

Chu Ge was so smart that he had already anticipated Wang Xiuyun's intention and guessed that the other party might ask him for the Yun family's magic weapon. Hearing this, he was not surprised at all. Without much thought, he shook his head and said, "Xiuyun, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't agree to this." "Why?" Wang Xiuyun frowned, "The head of the Yun Wenkai family is dead." "Whether he's dead or alive, it can't change the fact that he teamed up with other family heads to attack me even though I didn't provoke him." The smile on Chu Ge's face gradually faded, his face as hard as iron, and he said solemnly, "If it were any other mid-stage Condensation Realm warrior, they would most likely be dead. If I die, will you speak up for me and ask the head of the Yun family for justice?" Wang Xiuyun was slightly stunned, and then fell silent. If she were to ask herself, she would not be able to do it, nor would she have the courage to do it, and might even draw a line in the sand. But thinking of the purpose of this trip and the instructions of the Yun family's great elder, she still did not give up and begged, "Chu Ge, please just help me. You once said that if I get married, I will inform you and you will give me a wedding gift. If you haven't forgotten, could you give me the Yunfeng ruler as a wedding gift? With your current fame and status, you probably wouldn’t even look down upon this kind of magical weapon, let alone use it.” "No need to say it." Chu Ge waved his sleeves, almost laughing out of anger, his eyes turned cold, "It seems that you are confused because of your dream of being the young mistress of the Yun family. You can no longer distinguish right from wrong, reasonable from unreasonable, and you are completely kidnapping me with your own standpoint. Then there is no friendship between us." "Chu Ge Ni" Wang Xiuyun was stunned. She let out a breath and lowered her head and said quietly, "I didn't expect that. I felt that you had changed before, but now you have completely changed into a different person. It turns out that when a person's strength becomes stronger, even his heart and thoughts will change along with it." Chu Ge frowned unhappily, stood up, turned around, and said calmly, "Miss Wang, I have always been myself and have never changed, but you have changed because of the Yun family that you are now tied to. You are the young lady of the Yun family, not the Wang Xiuyun I know. That’s all I have to say. You can leave now.” "So, you mind that I'm married to the Sixth Young Master of the Yun Family, but don't worry, I'm still a virgin. I..." There was a rustling sound. Chu Ge's eyes turned cold, and suddenly a terrifying aura burst out, enveloping Wang Xiuyun. Wang Xiuyun, who had just unbuckled his belt, suddenly froze up. He felt like a bug fixed in place by a powerful aura, and felt an extremely huge and ruthless pressure pressing down on his chest. This powerful force also contained a suction and pulling force, which almost made her feet leave the ground. She immediately had difficulty breathing, her internal organs seemed to be about to explode, and her whole body felt like it was being pricked by needles. She was so uncomfortable that she couldn't speak. Chu Ge turned around and said coldly, "If this is the method the Yun family taught you, you don't have to use it, lest you look down on yourself and me, Chu Ge. You go. If the Yun family really wants to get the Yunfeng Ruler back, it’s very simple. Just let Leader Yun bring the Yunyin Tree and two hundred pieces of alien power crystals and come to me. This is the condition I am willing to give you for your past kindness, but it is only in the past." Wang Xiuyun's body trembled slightly, and Chu Ge's cold eyes and words deeply hurt her last bit of self-esteem. When Chu Ge's terrifying aura receded like the tide, she suddenly collapsed to the ground, her hair disheveled, like a poor slug, sobbing in pain, her heart at a loss. After sending someone to see Wang Xiuyun off, Chu Ge felt a little emotional in his heart. He seemed to be able to vaguely recall how high-spirited this woman was when he and Wang Xiuyun first came to the city. But now he has been deeply tied to the Yun family's chariot, and his heart may change easily, but it is said that the heart of old friends is easily changed.

He has now completely cut ties with this woman, and has also cut ties with his previous network of relationships. Heroes are passionate, while tyrants are cold-blooded. He knew that he was by no means a hero, but whether he was a powerful figure was still unknown, and it was left for future generations to judge. Soon, he arrived at the Juyi Hall. Miao Daqi had been received here by his subordinates. When he saw Chu Ge, the old man immediately stood up, pretended to bow his hands, clasped his fists respectfully, and laughed. "Miao Daqi is meeting the third-ranked bandit on the list! I have heard of him for a long time, and he is well-known to everyone!" Chu Ge rolled his eyes, walked over and sat down, grabbed a fruit on the table and started to eat it, and said coldly, "Don't make fun of me, if I know who first spread the name of this crazy bandit, I will stuff his head into my ass. "Three heads of families broke into my stronghold to attack me, and I killed them all and took away the spoils. How did that make me a robber and a bandit?" Miao Daqi turned around and smiled, "You don't know this, right? In fact, the gossip is spreading that you went to the Zhu family and robbed all of their wealth that day. The next day, the Zhu family went to the Zhenxie Division to sue you for being a robber, and then the news spread. Then, some people from the Lin family came out from other cities to cry out for justice, saying that you were the magic weapon plunderer who stole their Lin family's magic weapons. So when the news spread, you were given the title of a crazy bandit!" He said, in amazement, “Hey, are you really a divine weapon plunderer? It does sound like your style. The whereabouts of the Lin family father and son are still unknown. Could it be your doing?" Chu Ge chewed the juicy flesh with a strange look on his face. He hadn't expected that there were so many implications behind his title. If we include the Lin family, it seems that it is not wrong to call him a crazy bandit. Now it seems that some people in the Lin family have gradually come to their senses after losing contact with him. "Is it really you?" Miao Daqi was amused and became interested, "Let me tell you, Jiao Yongji kept saying that if you were a divine weapon plunderer, then he did you a big favor in the past, and you should thank him. He wants you to take action again, so help him snatch the original flavor of the Hidden Water Goddess." Before he could finish his words, Chu Ge spat out the fruit core, causing him to be hit hard on the body, and he quickly shut his mouth. "You don't respect the young and the old, what do you think I am?" Chu Ge snorted coldly, "Let's talk business. What are you mainly here for this time?" Miao Daqi did not interrupt after hearing this, but came over and sat beside him, saying, "Actually, I came here with the sincerity of our Beast Taming Sect and the Yellow Turban Sect, hoping to invite you to join our camp, and join with your power as the main force. We have a common enemy, Shen Yinggao. When we conquer Jiangcheng Prefecture together, Yunying City will be given to you, and it will be considered as returning the property to its original owner." "Not interested." Chu Ge shook his head and refused. Cloud Film City is of no use to him. He was not good at managing the city to generate income, even if he had people under him who could do it, but the city was a hot potato after all. Even if he took the city with great effort, he would still have to defend it against the counterattacks from the Great Zhou court and King Zhenye in the future. Instead of fighting for resources, it is better to occupy the mountain and rely on your subordinates to develop other businesses and operate to obtain resources. The rest of Miao Daqi's words were stuck in his throat, and he said helplessly. “Okay, I know that you, His Highness the Demon, look down on an Acropolis, but aren’t you short of resources? Deputy Sect Leader Ji said, as long as you bring your forces to join us, just ask for as many resources as you want!"

"Mercenaries, huh?" Chu Ge muttered in his heart, frowning, "Since Deputy Sect Leader Ji has spoken, he should first settle the balance he promised last time to show his sincerity, otherwise why should I talk?" Miao Daqi smiled awkwardly and pulled out two wooden boxes, one large and one small, from his arms, “In fact, the balance of the last payment has been prepared for you, and a little more has been added. These are fifteen pieces of force crystals, representing the sincerity of Deputy Sect Master Ji. " "Okay, Daqi." Chu Ge looked at the two completely different wooden boxes, one large and one small, and smiled, "You didn't steal the kickbacks from the five alien crystals, did you? But you still have a treasure map here with me, don't you want it?" Miao Daqi immediately shook his head solemnly and said righteously, "How could I be that kind of person? Deputy Sect Leader Ji really only gave me fifteen dollars. If you don't believe me, you can confront him in person in the future." He was sweating on his back. He really wanted to get a five-dollar kickback, so he specially gave out a small box. He didn't expect to be seen through by this devil. "Alright." Chu Ge calmly reached out and took the two wooden boxes, "Now we can talk." "You agree?" "How is that possible?" Chu Ge chuckled. "Fifteen force crystals and you want to get rid of me? How much benefit did you give to the Feihu family to join? However, you two families are now privately inviting me to join forces, but leaving out the Feihu family, what is the meaning of this?" As he spoke, he felt touched in his heart. Unknowingly, he had grown to the point where he could sit down and negotiate terms with the Yellow Turbans like the Feihu family did. The force headed by him actually began to gain the attention of powerful spiritual masters like Ji Shichang of the Yellow Turban Sect. Miao Daqi sighed and said, "It's not that we want to leave the Feihu family behind, but Feihu Bacheng and Feihu Shoucheng have too big ambitions and appetites. Deputy Sect Leader Ji intends to invite you to join the group in order to balance out the constraints posed by the Feihu family. Of course, on the other hand, the current situation has changed, and I may need your help in the future." Chu Ge narrowed his eyes slightly, "Among the three of you, there is Ji Shichang and Feihu Bacheng, whose strength is almost close to the spiritual god realm, which is not weaker than Shen Yinggao and his group. As for the masters in the Condensation Realm, thanks to me, you also have some advantages. Once Gongye Zhengtai arrives again, taking over Jiangcheng Prefecture will be a piece of cake. But now Gongye Zhengtai has not shown up yet, could it be that the change in the situation you mentioned is here?" "That's right!" Miao Daqi said solemnly, "Deputy Sect Leader Ji believes in you, so he told me so that I can reveal it to you. It was rumored that Master Gongye was injured before he set out to Hengzhou. Now it seems that his injury is very serious and it will take at least several months to recover." Chu Ge understood and smiled faintly, "Deputy Sect Master Ji thinks too highly of me, Chu. I can't replace Sect Master Gongye." Miao Daqi, "Deputy Sect Leader Ji doesn't mean for you to take over, but when we attack together, you can use your magic weapon to attack Shen Yinggao or Shezhuang in secret." "impossible!" Chu Ge shook his head and refused directly.

Are you kidding? It's not like he hasn't experienced the power of a strong man in the Spirit God Realm. If the Hidden Water Nun had not intervened, he might have died. It is hard to say whether he can travel through time again after death. Maybe Uncle Long Zhong simply accepted his body as a sacrifice. Next, no matter how much money Miao Daqi promised, Chu Ge remained unmoved. In the end, he simply said, "If I die, you can't live," which made Miao Daqi shut up completely. "Okay, I admit that I received some benefits, and I must say what needs to be said." Miao Daqi spread his hands and said, "Now that I've finished speaking, my opinion is the same as yours. I don't recommend you to get involved. It's enough for you to roughly understand the current situation." He paused and said, "Gongye Zhengtai didn't show up, and you didn't participate, so we might not take action, and Shen Yinggao and the others would be even more restrained. So the next few months, except for the possible disturbance in Feihu's family, it should be quiet for a few months. There is one thing I want to remind you." "What's the matter?" “The people who killed those relatives and friends in your hometown might be Feihu defending the city. As for whether it means Feihu defending the city or Feihu dominating the city, I don’t know.” Chu Ge's eyes suddenly flashed with sharpness. Miao Daqi's heart trembled, and he felt extremely confused. He originally thought that the 'Chu Ge' in front of him was not the real 'Chu Ge' of Linyuan City, but a demon from the original Demon Sect who replaced the face of the small town Qingniu 'Chu Ge'. However, judging from his reaction now, it seems not as he guessed. Chu Ge's expression suddenly returned to calm, and he said, "You told me this because you want me to kill Feihu to defend the city? This seems to be weakening the power of your alliance." Miao Daqi picked up the teacup, blew on it nonchalantly and said, "That flying cat guarding the toilet, if he dies, then he dies. I have been annoyed with him for a long time, but it's a pity that I can't kill him. As for weakening the strength of our alliance, what does that have to do with me? Do you think I will get one of the captured cities? I might as well hug your thighs tightly, Your Highness Mozi, and let you eat the meat while I drink the soup." Chu Ge was startled, smile lines slowly spread across his face, and then he burst into a loud "hahaha" laugh. His overwhelming power was so strong that the beams of the house were shaking, showing his heroic spirit. Miao Daqi is an interesting person. Not only is he interesting, he is also interesting. He likes to have such people under him. "Be prepared to tell me his location and the experts around him. I promised to slowly torture the murderer. He must be made to guard the toilet." "Okay, Your Highness, rest assured, I will find out immediately." Miao Daqi smiled and blew a breath, and in the amber tea, a piece of tea leaves that were spinning back and forth without knowing whether to live or die was taken down by him in one gulp.
