Chapter 994: The King of the North Goes to War
Gu Qinghao looked suspicious and asked, "You have been the Northern King for a while, but you don't have any students or old friends under your command?"

Fu Cheng said helplessly: "I am a live-in son-in-law, generally speaking, no one is willing to follow someone like me."

"Secondly, Yu Wenjun and I have worked together before, and Bai Xiaowei provided work-for-relief in the north ahead of time, and I did not take into account the interests of all parties."

"In the minds of many seniors, I am just a young kid who has achieved success at a young age but has no real power."

"In fact, in the eyes of many ambitious young people, I have wasted my title of the leader of the Seven Laws and one of the Eight Gu."

Gu Qinghao picked up the teacup and took a sip, wanting to comfort Fu Cheng, but he understood that a truly strong person does not need comfort.

"What do you need me to do?" Gu Qinghao asked straight to the point.

Fu Cheng subconsciously asked: "How many Guiyuan Realm masters are there in Zhengxiong Mountain, and how many Poji Realm masters are there?"

Gu Qinghao said bluntly: "Nine people are in the Guiyuan realm, and twenty people are in the extremely powerful realm."

"These twenty-nine people belong exclusively to Masaoyama."

"Although I hold the Qingyun Order, I have no right to mobilize other sect masters when it comes to the new policy."

"But there is still a mountain master in Lingxiao Realm."

Fu Cheng was secretly delighted. He didn't expect that he could get such strong help from a Lingxiao master at that moment.

Fu Cheng suppressed his emotions and said, "For the time being, you should return to Zhengxiong Mountain and wait. Since the mountain master is in Lingxiao Realm, he can naturally cross the void. If necessary, I will send a red bird to deliver a message and tell you the specific task."

Gu Qinghao hummed.

Fu Cheng also said truthfully: "To be honest, I don't have any specific and detailed plans at the moment. I can only take advantage of the situation. Most of the time, I can only improvise when promoting the new policy."

Gu Qinghao had also been to the battlefield. Of course, he knew very well that what Fu Cheng was doing at the moment was as dangerous as a large battlefield with swords and sabers.

"I understand. I never thought that one day I would fight side by side with you, the leader of the Seven Laws." Gu Qinghao said with a relieved smile.

Fu Cheng poured another cup of tea for Gu Qinghao and said, "In a world of great contention, the so-called false reputation is actually worthless."

"In the peaceful times, the seven-character regulated verse from the north or the five-character regulated verse from the south are the golden rules for young people."

"Because in times of peace, it's hard to tell who the real heroes are."

"So, don't worry about these false reputations. Perhaps in the future, your achievements will far surpass mine."

Gu Qinghao heard this and grinned intriguingly, "I hope so."

After saying that, Gu Qinghao picked up the teacup and drank it all.

Fu Cheng also stood up and said, "Please follow me."

Gu Qinghao didn't understand what he meant for a moment. Just as he was about to ask, Fu Cheng walked out. Gu Qinghao had no choice but to follow Fu Cheng.

The two men crossed the front courtyard, stepped into the middle courtyard, and then entered the back garden of the Northern Prince's Palace.

In the garden at the backyard, there is a rockery about ten feet square.

Surrounding the rockery is a clear pond with no fish swimming in it.

Fu Cheng also didn't like raising fish because he saw too many schools of fish during his time on the coastline.

Fu Cheng, who was standing next to the rockery, waved his sleeves, and the middle of the rockery suddenly became concave, revealing a narrow door that only one person could pass through. Standing at the door and looking inside, there were steps leading down, about twenty steps.

When the portal opened, Gu Qinghao suddenly felt a rich spiritual energy emanating from inside.

"This time, take whatever you like." Fu Cheng turned around and smiled brightly at Gu Qinghao.

Gu Qinghao twitched his lips slightly and replied, "Actually, there's no need to be so anxious to pay."

Fu Cheng said calmly, "I'm not in a hurry, but I want to give you the reward in advance while I'm alive. If I die accidentally, the deal between you and me will become a bad debt."

"I also know that Zhengxiongshan is quite dignified and upright, but rewards are rewards, and these are two different matters."

Fu Cheng took Gu Qinghao into the underground treasury. The underground treasury had a wide view, and the lights were always on. At a glance, it was at least fifty feet in radius.

All kinds of magical medicines grow in the narrow underground medicine garden.

And the box was filled with various kinds of pills.

On the bookshelf, there are various kinds of cultivation techniques, and on the shelf not far away, there are also various kinds of mother gold.

When he came here, Gu Qinghao was slightly shocked.

Although Gu Qinghao had seen some of the world, he had never seen so many cultivation resources and gold and silver treasures.

Fu Cheng laughed and said, "These are the gifts that various noble families gave me after I became the Northern King. In fact, the Northern noble families didn't send me many gifts. Instead, it was His Royal Highness the Southern King who gave me a lot."

"Of course, His Majesty has also rewarded me a lot."

"After the Helian family left this humble Northern Palace, they didn't miss my treasures."

Gu Qinghao was dazzled for a moment. These resources were enough to support hundreds of practitioners in Zhengxiong Mountain.

Unfortunately, most of the practitioners in Zhengxiong Mountain have weak foundations and low talents.

For decades, there has not been a young genius in Masaoyama.

The reason why the mountain master was able to reach the Lingxiao Realm was because when he was traveling as a young man, he accidentally encountered a thousand-year-old fire Ganoderma lucidum in Zhengxiong Mountain, and then successfully cleansed his essence and marrow, and from then on, he was out of control.

"Take it as you like." Fu Cheng put one hand behind his back, looking casual.

Gu Qinghao did not hold back on politeness and started to search the underground treasury like a whirlwind. In a short while, he had collected a large number of scriptures, elixirs, and mother gold into his own space vessel.

"I'm not greedy. I just took away half of your property." Gu Qinghao said calmly.

Fu Cheng stretched out his hand, and a fire dragon stone came out from the dark corner. Fu Cheng personally placed the fire dragon stone in Gu Qinghao's hand.

"I'll give you another small gift." Fu Cheng said with a bright face.

However, Gu Qinghao chose to refuse this time and returned the Fire Dragon Stone to Fu Cheng, saying in a loud voice: "This is a bit too much."

Fu Cheng smiled brilliantly and said, "That's not too much. You are the leader of the cultivation world and have made great contributions in the battlefield of the demon domain. Now that the new policy is being promoted, it is your people from Zhengxiong Mountain who are leading the charge. And this Northern King has also been infected by the character of those scholars in Zhengxiong Mountain."

"If Xu Hua hadn't risked his life to promote the new policy, I might not have been able to ignite the courage in my heart."

"Others look down on people from the mountains, but I can look up to them because I don't come from a good background either."

"Let's work together in the future."

Gu Qinghao was stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment, and Fu Cheng directly put the Fire Dragon Stone into Gu Qinghao's pocket.

"Actually, I don't have much real power. Sects with a little deeper foundation won't take me, their leader, seriously." Gu Qinghao said with a bitter smile.

Fu Cheng smiled calmly and said, "Just think of it as the road to growth has just begun."

Gu Qinghao patted Fu Cheng on the shoulder, and everything was said without words.

After the two men walked out of the underground treasury, Gu Qinghao could no longer hear the sound of sword sharpening in the front hall.

"The weapons have been polished, and it's time for us to set off. You leave through the back door later." Fu Cheng reminded.

Gu Qinghao saw that Fu Cheng had a determined look on his face. As they were both young men, Gu Qinghao really wanted to fight alongside them.

But he also knew that fighting alongside Qi Lu was not in keeping with his status.

Furthermore, Zhengxiongshan cannot be without a leader.

"Goodbye." Gu Qinghao teleported away from the Northern Palace in one step.

When Fu Cheng walked to the front yard, Jing Hanqing handed a sharp sword to Fu Cheng and said with a smile: "King of the North, lead us to the battle."
