Framed (2)

The square that had been crowded with people just now was so quickly left with only dead bodies, it was probably similar to the saying “the tree fell and the monkeys scattered.”

After Liu Shou dispelled the thunderclouds in the sky, he slowly fell back to the ground. He first came to Yang Hao, knelt down and checked for a while, then shook his head. Then he went to check on Gong Shenglong again, and shook his head again.

Liu Shou stood up and said to Feng Shao and Tang Fei, “They are both dead, what should we do now?”

Their original plan was to take Yang Hao and Gong Shenglong as hostages after making a big fuss, and then force the Chongyang Sword Sect and Xuanlei Sect to surrender. But now that both of them are dead, the situation is quite different.

As Chu Qing said, if Chongyang Sword Sect and Xuanlei Sect think that they died in Feng Shao’s hands, then Feng Shao will inevitably face the endless pursuit of the two sects.

Especially the Chongyang Sword Sect, even if it leads to being an enemy of Yunjian Pavilion, Yang Shaoling, who lost his beloved son, will never let him go.

Although Liu Shou is not very good at calculating such things, he also knows how troublesome the consequences of this matter will be. He sighed sadly, “I didn’t expect Chu Qing to play such a trick at this time. I really lost face!”

Feng Shao patted him on the shoulder and said, “It’s okay. There must be a way for the carriage to reach the mountain. It’s not like we’re at our wit’s end.”

Afterward, Feng Shao said loudly under Liu Shou’s puzzled eyes, “Don’t you think so, Miss Gu?”

Miss Gu?

Liu Shou and Tang Fei immediately realized that the person Feng Shao was referring to should be one of Chu Qing’s confidantes, Gu Sheng.

After waiting for a long time in silence, the three finally saw a graceful figure walking out of the City Lord Mansion.

Because they knew the essence of this alliance, the Gu family of Beizhou did not send anyone.

When Chu Qing asked, Gu Sheng only said that it was Chu Qing who would serve as the representative of the Gu family, so Chu Qing naturally wouldn’t say much after hearing that.

But in fact, Gu Sheng’s original plan was to keep the Gu family out of the matter.

So during the whole process of the alliance, Gu Sheng never appeared.

Even Gu Sheng herself didn’t expect that staying out of the matter would allow her to escape unharmed.

When the Ziqing Sacred Land disciples besieged the cultivator on the square, Gu Sheng hid in the City Lord Mansion.

She knew that going out at that moment would definitely be a dead end, but there was a glimmer of life in hiding all the time.

Perhaps after Tang Fei and the others killed those cultivators, they would leave in a big way.

And she can leave calmly after the other party leaves.

But what Gu Sheng didn’t expect was that Feng Shao also thought of this.

After being called out by Feng Shao, Gu Sheng hesitated for a while before finally deciding to come out.

She walked out of the City Lord Mansion, looked at Feng Shao and the others, and said with a wry smile, “The three of you probably won’t kill me, a weak woman, as well, right?”

Feng Shao said with a half-smile, “Why not? Anyway, we have killed so many people, and we don’t need to care if we have to add one more, right?”

Hearing what Feng Shao said, Gu Sheng felt relieved. She smiled slightly and said, “This little girl has admired city lord Feng’s name for a long time, and seeing him today, he really deserves his reputation. And as the rumors say, city lord Feng is not someone bloodthirsty who would kill everyone!”

Feng Shao asked with interest, “Oh? Why are you so sure that I won’t kill you?”

Gu Sheng smiled and said: “If city lord Feng wants to kill me, he can do it directly. Even if he doesn’t want to do it himself, he can let others do it. But city lord Feng didn’t do it himself, and he didn’t let others do it. He just threatened the little girl with a few words. This shows that city lord Feng doesn’t want to kill me, but he wants me to do something for him. I wonder if the little girl guessed it right?”

Feng Shao clapped his hands and said with a smile, “I have heard for a long time that the little princess of the Gu family in Beizhou is beautiful and intelligent, and that she has a beautiful and kind heart. After meeting today, I realized that the rumors are true. Not bad, Miss Gu guessed what I was thinking. If so, then Miss Gu might as well guess again, what is there for you to do next!”

Gu Sheng said, “It should be for the little girl to testify that Yang Hao and Gong Shenglong didn’t die at the hands of several people, right?”

Feng Shao laughed again and said, “Not bad, Miss Gu guessed it right again! Talking to smart people really saves a lot of trouble. Then I wonder if Miss Gu is willing to agree to this little request from me?”

“This…” At this point, Gu Sheng hesitated. She was not hesitating whether to agree or not, but was thinking about how to win the other party’s trust.

After all, in the final analysis, the two sides are enemies and not friends, and the other side has every reason not to believe in themselves.

Besides, they let go of so many cultivators, and they can also let those cultivators testify for themselves.

But Feng Shao asked Gu Sheng to testify, obviously because Gu Sheng’s testimony was the best.

Even Chu Qing’s confidante testified against him. Doesn’t this explain the truth of the matter?
