The Nine-winged Earthworm is Yang Naigong's personal property. At this time, the person in the carriage is identified as a target by the Nine-winged Earthworm. The other party wants to destroy the Nine-winged Earthworm. How can Gu Cheng let him do so?
The Blood Abyss Sword was unsheathed, and the Azure Dragon Martial Arts shined out. The green-gold sword fell from the air, and collided with the exploding energy. A violent wave suddenly erupted, and the nine-winged earthworm was blown away directly.
, Yang Naigong quickly put it away and hid it aside.
"Jingyesi is doing something, please cooperate with me."
Gu Cheng stepped in front of the carriage and said coldly.
"Jingyesi? I haven't been back to the capital for a long time. When did you, Jingyesi, become so domineering and dare to stop anyone's car? I don't know what to say!"
As the man in the car finished speaking, he punched out from the air. Powerful energy exploded in the void, and transparent ripples stirred the void. The power was extremely shocking to see.
Gu Cheng squeezed the seals with his hands, the Sumeru big hand seal fell, and the Buddha's light suddenly fell, colliding with the energy.
Another louder explosion came, and Gu Cheng took three steps back, with a look of surprise in his eyes.
Grandmaster, a martial arts master whose cultivation is definitely above the early stage of fifth grade!
Gu Cheng has fought against the Grandmaster quite a few times, and it can be said that he knows very well what the combat effectiveness of this level is like.
The man in the carriage also knew that this was the capital and that Gu Cheng was from Jingyesi, so he just wanted to overwhelm him and did not use all his strength like a real life and death fight, but it was the power of this casual blow.
But it already made Gu Cheng a little unable to resist.
But little did they know that the people inside the carriage were even more surprised than Gu Cheng.
He could tell that the man in front of him was only at the sixth level. Although he did not want to have a grudge with Jingyesi, his attitude was still strong.
He originally planned to suppress the opponent and teach him a lesson, but who would have thought that the opponent would just take three steps back after one of his attacks. When did Jingyesi in the capital find such a young master again?
The people in the carriage opened the door and stepped out. What caught Gu Cheng's eyes was a tall, masculine-looking middle-aged man wearing a suit of unicorn light armor.
Gu Cheng was slightly stunned when he saw the middle-aged man, and frowned slightly. This man turned out to be a member of the military. If he was related to him, it would be troublesome.
When the middle-aged man saw Gu Cheng, he was startled, and then a strange smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth and said: "Gu Cheng?"
"You recognize me?"
Gu Cheng looked confused. The only person he knew in the capital was Jing Yesi. He didn't have any acquaintances in the military.
The middle-aged man adjusted his armor, and the smile on his face became more and more weird: "Of course I recognize you, I should say that I recognized you two years ago, and you should also recognize me.
My name is Hong Dingshan, the general of the Shaowu Army. I have now resigned and have come to the capital to report on my duties at the Imperial Guard."
Upon hearing this, Gu Cheng's eyes suddenly shrank.
He never thought that he would meet Hong Dingshan here, the father of Governor Hong, the husband of Bai Ziwei, and the general of the Shaowu Army!
Hong Dingshan was right. He should have recognized him two years ago. After all, he had killed his son at that time, and now he had killed his wife.
But what made Gu Cheng feel a little strange was that he didn't feel even a trace of murderous intention in Hong Dingshan.
With the hatred of killing his wife and killing his son, how could Hong Dingshan not have any emotional fluctuations? Anyway, Gu Cheng had never seen a being who could control his emotions so perfectly.
Hong Dingshan said lightly: "I didn't expect that in just two years you could go from a mysterious armor guard to this point. Looking at your mysterious armor now, you should already be at the level of the commander of the four domains.
?It’s rare.
What did you mean by taking action on my bicycle frame just now? Is it that you, Jingyesi, were checking something?
I never bother to hide anything I do, and I just entered the city today, so you may have checked the wrong person."
Yang Naigong hurriedly ran over and said: "My lord, I'm afraid I really made a mistake. Nine-winged Earthworm has lost its target. This general is stained with the aura of demon blood, so he was noticed by Nine-winged Earthworm. But this kind of demon blood
It’s not the kind of demon blood we were tracking before.”
Hong Dingshan pulled out a long black knife from his waist, and there was a faint trace of blood on the blade.
Hong Dingshan laughed loudly and said: "When I came to Beijing, I met some monsters with no eyesight and no climate. I killed them all with a knife. I guess they were stained with some monster blood."
Although Gu Cheng didn't know that he clearly had a big feud with Hong Dingshan, the other party was still so calm. But at this time in the capital, Gu Cheng had no intention of fighting to the death with a frontier general who was at the master level.
So Gu Cheng also clasped his fists and smiled and said: "It turned out to be a misunderstanding. General Hong, please forgive me. I'll take my leave then."
"etc!"
Gu Cheng wanted to leave, but Hong Dingshan called him to stop him.
"Oh? General Hong, do you have anything else to ask me?"
Hong Dingshan said calmly: "This misunderstanding has been resolved, but there is still another misunderstanding between you and me. Don't you want to also resolve this misunderstanding?"
"What's the solution?"
"Let's find a place to talk."
Gu Cheng blinked his eyes, and Yang Naigong on the side quickly said, "Sir, I'll take my leave first and go look for other clues."
After Yang Naigong left, Gu Cheng said to Hong Dingshan: "Since General Hong has time to chat, please invite me."
It was already late at night, and Dongyu Jingyesi definitely couldn't go to such an obvious place, so Gu Cheng took Hong Dingshan directly to the ninth floor of Jiuyuan Building.
Gu Cheng is also a regular customer here. As soon as he arrived, the restaurant, which was already about to close, suddenly became busy again.
The dishes were arranged one after another, and Gu Cheng got a glass of wine for Hong Dingshan. Hong Dingshan drank it all in one gulp, squinted his eyes and let out a sigh of relief: "It's still the aroma of wine from the capital. In the bitter cold land of Western Xinjiang, even the wine has the aroma of wine."
It smells like sand.”
After finishing speaking, Hong Dingshan looked at Gu Cheng: "Are you surprised by my attitude now?"
Gu Cheng nodded and said: "It's indeed strange. I killed your son and Bai Ziwei, but now you can sit across from me and drink with me calmly. Such a person is either extremely weak or...
He has a heart of stone and is extremely indifferent. It would be terrible to deal with such a person."
Hong Dingshan laughed and said: "A man cannot be soft-spoken. The general's sword is very hard, and humans are not grass and trees. I cannot ignore everything.
But who told you that you killed my wife and son?"
Gu Cheng was stunned: "Isn't it difficult?"
With so many people in Donglin County knowing the details of Bai Ziwei and Governor Hong, is it possible that there is something unknown about them?
Hong Dingshan sneered and said: "The wife of a certain Ming matchmaker is the daughter of the governor of Xiqi County, a lady from a famous family.
A certain person’s only heir is now studying at Yunding Academy in the capital.
Apart from the fact that Bai Ziwei gave the good-for-nothing idiot you killed my surname, how does he look like me?"
After hearing what Hong Dingshan said, Gu Cheng realized what was wrong.
Gu Cheng didn't recognize Hong Dingshan before, but now he saw that this general of the Shaowu Army was not only powerful, he was also handsome and majestic. His appearance alone could make him look good when he got into the battle formation. The kind that boosts morale.
That Governor Hong was fat and stupid, not even remotely similar to Hong Dingshan. The two were simply not the same breed.
When Gu Cheng met Bai Ziwei, although she was already middle-aged, she was still beautiful and charming. One can imagine what she looked like when she was young.
Therefore, if these two people are combined together, even if there is genetic mutation, they will not be able to give birth to a son like Governor Hong.
Hong Dingshan squinted his eyes, clenched his wine glass and said, "Actually, I'm too lazy to talk about these old sesame seeds and grains.
If I hadn’t met you today and you had become the commander of Jingyesi’s four realms, there would be no need for me to say these things.
It's just that now that I'm back in the capital to report on my work, I don't want to get into trouble because of some inexplicable things, so it's better to explain some things clearly, although this is not a glorious thing."
Gu Cheng nodded, he understood what Hong Dingshan meant.
It is better to resolve enemies than to end them, that is the truth. However, if Gu Cheng did not have the strength and status he has now, even if Hong Dingshan saw him, he would not explain this to him. He would just let him be suspicious and uneasy.
"How much do you know about Bai Ziwei and me?"
Gu Cheng spread his hands and said, "I have stayed in Donglin County for a while. Basically, I know everything that people in Donglin County know."
The expression on Hong Dingshan's face became a little distorted, and he said coldly: "Actually, the first half of the truth is similar to what you know, but there were some deviations after leaving Donglin County.
When I was young, I was really in love with Bai Ziwei. It was said in Donglin County that she was willing to leave the Xuanwu Zhen Sect for me. In fact, I did not ask her to leave the sect. Instead, I planned to join the army to fight for a future before returning to Donglin. Linjun married her.
But Bai Ziwei insisted on following me, so I could only agree and take Bai Ziwei to Western Xinjiang with me, and I was still grateful that she would never leave me.
But after I joined the army, I discovered that that woman Bai Ziwei is simply a lunatic! She is too possessive and too paranoid!
She wanted to follow me when I was marching and fighting, saying that I didn't have time to accompany her. She also wanted to get involved in the intrigues between me and other people in the army, but almost did something bad. She even acted nonsense in the army, which made me lose face.
I reasoned with her, but she only said that she betrayed Xuanwu Zhenzong for me, and that I had no conscience to betray her.
At that time, I still had a task in hand. As long as I succeeded, I would be able to become the future leader of the Shaowu Army. However, Bai Ziwei was still pestering me, so I could only fall out with him and complete the task for the time being.
As a result, that crazy woman actually found someone else to give birth to that scoundrel in order to make me angry, and she also wanted to use this to suppress me!"
