Gu Immortal, Gu Gu Gu Gu Gu Gu

The people in the treasury didn't dare to say anything, they just lay on the ground and breathed in the cold air.

Crazy Liu snatched the key from his hand, opened the door, and found that the warehouse where grain was stored was full.

However, the warehouses containing military equipment, weapons, armor, poisonous insect medicines, and cultivation resources were empty.

The brothers were silent for a moment as they stared at the armory where even rats would leave in tears.

"What is going on? Why is the Tai'an City Armory empty?"

Although Crazy Liu was knowledgeable and experienced, he couldn't help but curse.

"I've already said that we need to borrow weapons and poisonous insects from Fang Qingshan!"

The treasury official's lips turned pale and he stammered, which made Crazy Liu very angry.

He was so frightened that his face turned pale. He covered his face with his hands and shouted, "Even if you kill me, I can't get anything. If you want weapons and poisonous insects, you have to borrow them from the Fang family."

"I am the commander of an army, not a beggar or a bandit!"

Crazy Liu's face turned red, and he immediately went to find Fang Qingshan to seek an explanation.

The members of the advance team were all very uneasy, but fortunately Li Changsheng acted in time and temporarily restrained Crazy Liu.

Judging from the attitude of the treasury officials, the position of the Lord of Tai'an City has most likely been sidelined, and this cannot be achieved in a day or two.

The Fang family is very grand, and even their followers and servants are Gu Masters, so they are not easy to deal with.

Fengzi Liu thought that he was quite powerful, but he couldn't just go and ask for an explanation. Once he fell into the trap, he probably wouldn't even see the sun tomorrow.

After letting Crazy Liu calm down temporarily, Li Changsheng planned to ask for details, but at this time several servants from the Fang family came to deliver a message.

"If Commander Liu wants to get the resources and poisonous insects needed by the advance team, bring the brothers to the dinner. Otherwise, you will have to endure a lot of hardships on the way to the border."

The servants were not afraid of Liu Fengzi, who had a fierce look in his eyes, and it was obvious that they were determined to defeat the advance team.

Seeing the other party leave in a leisurely manner, the cautious Zheng Yong's eyes wandered, as if he was calculating the right time to escape.

Li Changsheng noticed that Xu Da was missing and no one knew where he went at the critical moment.

"Li Changsheng, come with me."

Crazy Liu shouted, and Li Changsheng had no choice but to follow him into the granary.

"What do you think of the Fang family? If they try to win you over, will you go with them?"

Crazy Liu picked up the teapot on the guard's table and took a few sips, trying to suppress his irritability.

“Why are they trying to win me over?”

Li Changsheng raised his eyebrows in confusion.

"Because you are a fourth-level Gu Master, and you have a huge grudge against the Empress."

Crazy Liu looked at him with an inquiring expression, as if he wanted to confirm whether Li Changsheng was trustworthy.

Li Changsheng's suspicions grew, and combined with the fact that the city lord had been sidelined, he instantly thought of the word treason.

For a moment he felt mixed emotions. He felt that the Fang family had a keen sense of smell and a great ability to judge the situation, but he also felt that the Fang family was too impatient and too self-righteous.

Although the current situation in Dayan is chaotic and the people are living in misery, it is actually far from being irreversible.

The disaster caused by the tide of ferocious beasts was far less than the internal fighting within the royal family. The various forces restrained each other, the government orders were not communicated, and the casualties caused by lip service and double-crossing were high.

But the empress is still the one who holds the highest authority to this day.

At least before the King of Qin launched his rebellion, the empress's ruling power was on the rise.

If one wants to rebel at this juncture, one must at least have the power to completely crush the royal family.

Even in the later part of the book, with the strong support of the Shang clan, who had a certain vision, the power of the empress in the Great Yan Kingdom was still struggling to survive.

So today, if a local tyrant from a small border town wants to rebel at the time when the empress is at her strongest, isn't this courting death?

"The Fang family's overbearing behavior today shows that they have undermined the position of the City Lord of Tai'an City. This behavior is tantamount to treason. How could I choose to go along with them?"

After listening to Li Changsheng's words, Crazy Liu smiled at him with satisfaction.

"You really didn't disappoint me. You saw through the evil intentions of the old bastard from the Fang family at a glance."

Li Changsheng touched his nose and probably understood why Crazy Liu would find him alone.

"Commander Liu may have some misunderstandings about me, but these things are not important. From what you said, the Fang family's dinner party today should be intended to win over various forces and then show their loyalty."

Crazy Liu turned his eyes away from his face and clenched his hands which were flat on the table.

"Yes, the Fang family's probing actually started before we entered the city. Because the members of our advance team have special identities and are suspected of not being loyal to Dayan, they dared to do it so obviously."

Li Changsheng stretched out his hand and pinched his chin: "So, if we reject the Fang family, we may die here."

"It's not a possibility, it's a certainty of death!"

Crazy Liu raised his head, a fierce look on his face: "Li Changsheng, I think the only way to break the impasse lies in the scheming young master of the Fang family. With your fourth-level strength, are you sure you can capture him alive?"

There was a brief silence in the granary. Li Changsheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Commander Liu's plan is not reliable at all. Since you can guess that the young master of the Fang family is a weakness, then the Fang family can naturally guess it as well."

Crazy Liu waved his hand and said, "This is the most direct and simplest way now. If you don't want to go, you can go to the dinner party in the evening. I will personally take action and will definitely capture that little bastard alive!"

Li Changsheng did not agree with Fengzi Liu's plan at all, but he quickly thought of a way to break the impasse.

If he had been faced with the current situation a few days ago, he might have chosen to take a risk.

But now it’s different. Xiao Shunzi told him that there is a deeply hidden lackey of the empress in the advance team.

Just imagine, as the empress's lackey, how could he miss the opportunity to strangle the rebels and share the empress's worries?

He felt that he could completely use the power of the empress to break the impasse. As long as they could survive tonight, the Fang family would soon be uprooted, and there was no need for the advance team to fight to the death with the Fang family!

"Commander Liu, if I say that I have a way to make the Fang family disappear into thin air, can you give me a few days off?"

Li Changsheng knew that the Fang family would not be able to survive for long, so he looked for opportunities to seek benefits for himself.

"what?"

Crazy Liu stared and looked at Li Changsheng with disbelief.

"Don't believe me? Then just pretend I didn't say anything. But whoever wants to go to the banquet tonight can go. I need to hurry up and practice."

Li Changsheng turned around and was about to leave. Tonight's banquet was bound to be a quagmire.

As he was familiar with the plot, he was very clear about one thing: among the people who took part in the early rebellion, except for the King of Qin and the protagonist who were from the royal family, all the others had a bad ending.

Most of them died at the hands of the Empress, while the rest died at the hands of other rebels who claimed to be orthodox.

Anyone who goes into this quagmire will die, so he should seize the time to refine the opportunity.

"Wait! Li Changsheng, do you really have a way to deal with the Fang family?"

Crazy Liu could no longer remain calm, even though he knew that Li Changsheng was very powerful and had many hidden cards.

But he never thought that Li Changsheng had the ability to fight against a big family. If he could really avoid this disaster safely, let alone give Li Changsheng a holiday, he would even personally lead the horse and stirrups for Li Changsheng!

"If you listen to me, then stay in the government office and don't go out no matter who calls you. The outcome will be clear tomorrow afternoon at the latest."

After Li Changsheng finished speaking mysteriously, he ran into Xu Da who was walking hurriedly as soon as he went out.

The two men looked at each other, and Xu Da avoided them in a panic and walked towards Crazy Liu who was sitting at the table.

"Where did Xu Da go just now?" Li Changsheng touched his chin. He always felt that Xu Da was mysterious today.

But he didn't think much about it. He took out the document of Jinyuan Pavilion from the belly of the toad and walked towards the center of the city.

But before he could find the Jinyuan Pavilion opened by the Shang family, he was stopped by the young master of the Fang family and his entourage.

Glancing at the white wolfhound at Li Changsheng's feet, Fang Shao curled his lips and asked in a bad tone.

"Before, outside the city gate, it was you who attacked me?
