Chapter 1271 Give the Special Envoy an Explanation!
The two exchanged a glance and saw hatred in each other's eyes.
He wished he could kill Gu Xiu on the spot.
But ironically, he didn't dare to kill the other party without reason, at least not given their status and position.
Otherwise, if the reputation of the Southern Lord is damaged, they will surely die.
"What are you standing there for! Keep searching!"
In the end, it was Commandant Zhu who gritted his teeth and ordered his men to take the two guards away and search them. As long as he was on the side of righteousness, this wouldn't affect the reputation of the Southern Lord.
Two more people walked out.
This time, the two were extra vigilant, fearing they might be ambushed.
Captain Zhu was equally focused: "Boy, I want to see if you dare to hurt someone in front of me again!"
"Captain Zhu, please be careful with your words. I come here on behalf of the friendship of Wuwei City. How could I possibly do anything that would harm either side? Please feel free to search me!" Gu Xiu smiled, still keeping his arms outstretched, completely unguarded, allowing himself to be searched.
Lieutenant Zhu harbored resentment in his heart, and nodded to the two men again.
The next moment.
The two newly replaced men also screamed and collapsed, bleeding from all seven orifices and trembling all over, just like the two men before them!
This time, a chill inexplicably crept into everyone's hearts.
There was no fluctuation of spiritual energy.
There is no divine power to invoke.
Gu Xiu had clearly made another move, but no one present could find any fault with him at all!
"It seems your mission as guards of Sihuo City is indeed very difficult, you're already this weak." Gu Xiu, of course, added a sarcastic remark from the side.
"However, you may be all talk and no action, but you should hurry up. Lord Si Huo is waiting to welcome me. If you keep delaying, I will start to suspect that Lord Nan is deliberately having you prevent me from seeing Lord Si Huo."
These words caused both Captain Zhu and Judge Bao to turn pale and then red.
Damn!
They never expected things to turn out this way.
"Keep searching!"
"If two people aren't enough, then four will do. If four people aren't enough, then eight will come at us together!"
Captain Zhu roared, his gaze towards Gu Xiu as if it were poisoned: "Don't be so smug. Your methods are indeed well-concealed, but this is Si Huo City. I don't believe we can't see through your tricks!"
This time, four guards went out together.
They became even more nervous, cautious, and uneasy.
Even if they are very careful.
The result was the same. Before she could even get close to Gu Xiu, she suddenly screamed and collapsed to the ground, bleeding from all seven orifices. Even her body convulsions were the same as before.
It's happening again!
It's happening again!!!
Lieutenant Zhu was going crazy. He knew it must have been Gu Xiu who made the move, but he hadn't found anything at all. This time, he didn't even wait for Gu Xiu to say anything trashy before speaking directly to the remaining dozen or so people behind him:
"All of you, attack together!"
This……
The dozen or so men looked distressed. They had witnessed the miserable state of the men in front of them but had no idea what was going on. Now they were being ordered to attack them all at once...
Isn't that just courting death?
But under Captain Zhu's sharp gaze, no one dared to resist. They could only approach Gu Xiu cautiously, filled with unease.
"Observe carefully, and if there is even the slightest clue, immediately take down this damned envoy!" Lord Bao said to the people of the Holy Fire Palace around him, his eyes fixed on Gu Xiu, unwilling to miss a single detail.
But in the end, nothing changed.
This time, because of the large number of people, the screams seemed even more shrill.
"Damn it, it's you! I sensed it! There's a fluctuation of spiritual energy on you!" Captain Zhu roared. "Men, quick! Kill this blatant murderer on the spot!"
The claim that she sensed fluctuations in spiritual energy was obviously a lie.
Because Gu Xiu used a soul-attacking technique, and it was even a transformation of profound energy into soul power, it was incredibly powerful, and others couldn't detect anything. However, what he wanted now wasn't the truth, but just a pretext. He didn't care whether he had caught Gu Xiu red-handed or not; he was sure he could pin the blame on Gu Xiu.
However, his reaction was ultimately a step too slow.
Just as more guards rushed forward to attack Gu Xiu, an angry shout rang out.
"Stop it, all of you!"
Lord Han and his entourage almost burst into tears; the Lord of Si Huo City had finally arrived.
Before the city lord's mansion, Lord Si Huo and Vice Minister Zhou of the Holy Fire Palace had arrived together. Lord Si Huo, enraged, his eyes as cold as frost, fixed on Captain Zhu and asked, word by word:
"Captain Zhu, do you intend to rebel?"
The once arrogant Captain Zhu dared not hesitate in the slightest when facing a Divine Path Eighth-Order Half-Saint like Lord Si Huo. He immediately replied in a trembling voice, "City Lord! I am here on the orders of General Wenren to inspect Envoy Gu and prevent anyone from carrying weapons that could endanger the safety of the City Lord's Mansion!"
"An order to listen to the tide?" Lord Si Huo sneered, his tone full of sarcasm:
"I am the lord of Sihuo City. When did it become his place to set the rules of the city lord's mansion? Moreover, Special Envoy Gu is a distinguished guest sent by Wuwei City. I have already ordered that he be treated with the highest honors. How dare you be so rude? It's simply lawless!"
As he spoke, Lord Si Huo looked at Gu Xiu, his anger instantly dissipating and replaced by a hint of apology. He cupped his hands slightly and said, "Special Envoy Gu, I'm sorry you've been wronged. It's all because I failed to discipline you properly, which allowed these villains to take advantage of the situation. Please forgive me, Special Envoy."
Gu Xiu nodded slightly, his expression remaining calm, but his words were ruthless: "Lord Si Huo, you are too kind. Ignorance is no excuse. But today, as an envoy representing Wuwei City, I have been harassed by a mere captain. This matter requires an explanation."
Si Huo Gong naturally understood Gu Xiu's meaning and immediately said, "Envoy, rest assured, I will thoroughly investigate this matter and give you an explanation. Men, seize Commandant Zhu and punish him severely!"
She couldn't act rashly against the people of the Sacred Flame Palace, but she could easily control a mere Captain Zhu.
Instantly, a group of guards rushed out and dragged Captain Zhu away on the spot, along with all the guards who were bleeding from their seven orifices.
As the excitement died down, the crowd dispersed, their gazes toward Gu Xiu now tinged with awe as they left.
Regardless of how those people fell, it's definitely related to Gu Xiu.
His methods are a bit too terrifying.
Si Huogong looked at Gu Xiu again, a smile spreading across his face, and gestured for him to enter: "Special Envoy Gu, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. The banquet is ready. Please come with me into the mansion, and we can talk while we eat."
Gu Xiu nodded slightly and stepped into the City Lord's Mansion.
"Gu kid, not bad! I thought you were going to tear off the mask and start a fight, but you managed to calm everyone down with just a few words." Sui Xing's voice came.
Gu Xiu shook his head slightly: "I was actually just testing the waters. Now it seems that at least Lord Nan still has face to save, or rather, Lord Nan's subordinates still have to save face for Lord Nan, otherwise it wouldn't be so easy."
It wasn't difficult to break through this predicament; his main purpose was to gauge whether these people would completely disregard Nan Jun's fabrications.
Looking back now, it's not bad at all.
"The envoy's method is quite clever, managing to make it so that no one can see any trace of his actions." As they walked further in, Vice Minister Zhou of the Sacred Fire Palace said to Gu Xiu in a low voice.
Gu Xiu shook his head: "My lord, please don't talk nonsense. I didn't take action. Those people just suddenly fell ill."
Minister Zhou didn't argue with Gu Xiu, but said in a sinister tone, "Si Huo City is under the control of the Southern Lord. You people from Wuwei City, with your hands reaching so far, you should be careful that your arms are cut off and that disaster doesn't fall on you..."
"Cutting off an arm isn't necessarily the case, but saying it will bring disaster upon oneself is not accurate." Gu Xiu shook his head, meeting the other person's gaze: "Wuwei City did nothing, yet some troubles are still being thrown at us, aren't they?"
Upon hearing this, Vice Minister Zhou's expression changed slightly. He stared at Gu Xiu in surprise, trying to discern whether Gu Xiu knew something.
It's just a pity.
He couldn't see anything.
But the more this happened, the more he feared Gu Xiu. In fact, he didn't make any further moves against Gu Xiu throughout the rest of the banquet.
He even left in a hurry when the banquet was only halfway through.
He needs to find out the truth.
Wuwei City, has it found out something?
