Chapter 56 Cat

As Yan Sanniang said,
Gu Mo became famous in the world.

The Wang family incident in Yong'an County shocked the Yunzhou martial arts world. The descendants of King Mu fabricated a huge lie, involving so many martial arts celebrities and killing dozens of Six Gates masters. It was considered a major case in the entire Yunzhou.

The incident was full of twists and turns.
Zhuo Qingfeng went from being a swift detective to being hated by everyone, and then his injustice was redressed. The Wang family went from being a wealthy man with a death warrant to being the descendants of the Wood King and then plotting rebellion.

Finally, Gu Mo gained the reputation of being a hero.

Kill the poisonous spider, kill the number one killer Silver Fox, from being one of the four gold medal ghostwriters, to breaking the conspiracy by single-handedly, killing the other three ghostwriters, killing the ghost-faced grandma who had pretended to be dead for many years, and killing a hundred-man crossbow team by single-handedly.

These things, combined together,
The water in the river and lake began to surge.

There were even many rumors about Gu Mo and Zhuo Qingfeng in the martial arts world. The two heroes admired each other and although they had just met, they felt that they had met too late. Even though the whole world did not trust Zhuo Qingfeng, Gu Mo resolutely believed in him and openly refused to ghostwrite Zhuo Qingfeng. He was not tempted by the huge amount of money, but instead overcame all difficulties and helped Zhuo Qingfeng to clear his name. The friendship between the two became a legend in the martial arts world, and Gu Mo's reputation for loyalty was admirable.

……

When Gu Mo heard the various rumors in the martial arts world about how he and Zhuo Qingfeng regretted not meeting each other earlier and that loyalty was the most important thing, he was stunned.

Because almost none of those things are true.

It is true that he refused to ghostwrite, but that had nothing to do with trust. It was because the system did not issue the task, and he felt there was something else going on.

Besides, what is the first priority of righteousness, what is the unswerving determination to help him clear his name?
It was entirely Chu Yuan's business, but it was forced upon him.

One to say one,

During the first two days of spending time together at the Wang family, Gu Mo had a good impression of Zhuo Qingfeng, but the two of them did not really establish any friendship. Later, he just helped to find Chu Yuan. Then, he went to Yong'an County just to kill the poisonous spider and was involved.

The one who believed in Zhuo Qingfeng without hesitation was Chu Yuan. It was truly unconditional belief, and then he risked his life to follow Zhuo Qingfeng.

It has nothing to do with him, Gu Mo.

Qingping Lane, in the Gu family courtyard.

Zhuo Qingfeng and Chu Yuan came to visit Gu Mo and talked about the recent rumors in the martial arts world. They couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Although some of the stories are untrue, they are generally accurate," Zhuo Qingfeng said. "Master Chu and I were both saved by Hero Gu. I am honored to have such a great story with Hero Gu!"

Chu Yuan also said on the side: "You two, one is the Swift Wind Detective, and the other is the Ghost Blade, both of you have been wandering around the world for a long time. One of you catches thieves and investigates cases, and the other hunts down and kills thieves. This is a good story in the world of martial arts, and it is reasonable!"

Gu Mo smiled and said, "I am also deeply honored. First of all, congratulations to Lord Zhuo on his vindication and reinstatement. I heard that you are going to be promoted? Is this true?"

Zhuo Qingfeng shook his head and said, "What's the point of promotion? It was just a one-time incident. Although the truth was finally revealed, so many brothers were sacrificed in the process. My dereliction of duty was a serious crime. The fact that I was able to be reinstated is because of my years of hard work."

"That's right," Chu Yuan also said, "We were both called to Yunzhou headquarters and got a good scolding. Now I just hope that there will be peace and quiet for a while so that we can catch our breath."

"Don't say that," Gu Mo said helplessly, "Usually when you say that, you'll get what you fear."

Chu Yuan: “…”

"Hero Gu, please don't scare me!"

"Just kidding, haha." Gu Mo said. Zhuo Qingfeng laughed and said, "Please don't make such jokes. This matter has really put Lord Chu and I through a lot. We are really scared. By the way, Master Gu, you have become very famous recently. We were reporting to the Yunzhou headquarters a few days ago, and your reputation has spread all over Yunzhou City."

Chu Yuan suddenly said, "Have you ever thought about this? Being famous is undeniably a good thing, but it's not all good."

"What do you mean?" Zhuo Qingfeng asked.

"Before, when Hero Gu went out to catch wanted criminals, no one recognized him. When he went, the wanted criminal might even come up to him and start a fight. But now, when Hero Gu goes out, the wanted criminal will run away before he even shows up. Wouldn't Hero Gu go out in a heroic manner and come back in disgrace?"

"Hahaha, that's right!"

"Master Gu, it's not easy to make money like this!"

"..."

……

Gu Mo's reputation did spread very quickly. He was undoubtedly the most important event in Linjiang County. Even outside of Linjiang County, it caused quite a stir in Yunzhou. Although it was not as noisy as in Linjiang County, there were still many people in the world talking about it.

this day,
In a small town in Qingyang County.

The sun was at its highest point, and a group of escorts were resting in an open space. Several of them went to the farmers' houses in the town to ask for water. There were many people being escorted on this escort trip, nearly a hundred people in total, and more than a dozen carriages were full. The escort was from the Changfeng Escort Agency, a century-old brand in Linjiang County.

The leader was Lin Zhenyue, the chief escort of Changfeng Escort Agency, known as the Hundred Victories Divine Fist in the martial arts world. He was a well-known escort in Yunzhou. Even if we put aside the escort agency industry and look at the Yunzhou martial arts world, Lin Zhenyue was also quite famous, having been escorting for decades with his iron fists.

However, even Lin Zhenyue was very cautious about this escort. It could be said that this escort was among the top three in all the escorts escorted by Changfeng Escort Agency in the past hundred years. The bail was as high as 200,000 taels. Almost all the masters of Changfeng Escort Agency were dispatched, including the chief escort and eight out of ten escort chiefs.

Some people were resting, while others were keeping watch.

After a while, the escorts who had gone to fetch water returned. One of them, a bearded escort, called out from a distance, "Captain Qu, Captain Qu, guess what I just heard in town?"

Qu Heng, who was sitting on the ground resting, asked in confusion: "What did you hear?"

"I heard someone discussing Gu Mo," the bearded man said, "that nephew of yours. Oh, I thought I heard it wrong at first, but after asking a few times, I was sure they were talking about your boy Gu Mo. Now he's become the hero Gu, and the assassin Silver Fox fell into his hands!"

"What? Is it the number one killer in Yunzhou?"

All of a sudden, all the escorts, including the chief escort Lin Zhenyue, became interested.

They had been escorting the caravan during this period, so the news was a little delayed and they were still under the impression that Silver Fox was the number one killer in Yunzhou.

The bearded escort put the bucket away and said, "We're out of touch with the news. A lot of big things have happened in Linjiang County recently. But, they're all related to that kid Gu Mo. No, no, no, now it's Hero Gu..."

All the escorts listened with great interest, and exclaimed in surprise from time to time.

However, the lookout was still observing the surroundings very cautiously.
But they didn't notice.
On a rooftop in the town, a black civet cat was staring at them. After staring for a long time, the civet cat turned and left. At that moment, cats appeared on all the rooftops in the town.

One, two...hundreds of cats, densely packed, surging like a tide, yet so quiet that it makes people's hair stand on end, as if they were a silent army of ghosts, and they quickly disappeared.
