Chapter 192: True Colors

In the dark, Deng Jiulang held Liu Jing's hand.

Feeling the sound of his breathing on the back of his neck, Liu Jing calmed down a little, and was about to call him when suddenly, in the tunnel ahead, there was a sound of unhurried footsteps.

Accompanied by the sound of footsteps, there was a small light in the darkness.

Seeing the bright light and listening to the echoing footsteps, Liu Jing was stunned: Gu Cheng is here!

She could hear Gu Cheng's footsteps, this was him coming!

When she was in the dark, Liu Jing didn't know that the wall she was sticking to had dense holes until the light came in.

Involuntarily, she leaned close to a large hole, and through the hole, she watched the light get closer and closer.

Holding the light was Gu Cheng, who was wearing a blue-striped robe with purple trim, holding a candle in his right hand, under the candlelight, his handsome face became more and more pale, and his eyes became more and more cold. As if knowing that she and Deng Jiulang were looking at him, Gu Cheng's eyes slowly showed a smile.

This smile makes people shiver!

Liu Jing, who was so excited by Gu Cheng's smile that her palms were sweating, couldn't help but turn her head to look at Deng Jiulang. Where could she see him in the dark? She could only hear his steady, slight breathing, which sounded not far from her, but she felt that the hand she was holding tightly was still calm and powerful.

Deng Jiulang's calmness calmed Liu Jing down, and just as she was quietly looking at the light again, Gu Cheng was getting closer and closer, getting closer and closer, and when he was only thirty or forty steps away from the two of them. Gu Cheng put the index finger of his right hand to his lips and screamed.

This tunnel is narrow and easy to echo, and with his whistle, in the blink of an eye, several footsteps appeared behind Gu Cheng!

In the blink of an eye, several black-clothed men appeared behind Gu Cheng.

After these people arrived, Gu Cheng continued to step forward. After taking another dozen steps, he stopped idly and said coldly, "Lift the stone wall away!" The authentic smoke is big, but you can't choke the guests! ”

"Yes. Pimp! The four black-clothed men answered at the same time. Stepping forward, they stood in one corner and reached out to lift the slate, and there was a creaking sound. Not for a while. The massive stone wall was pulled apart by the combined efforts of the four of them. Deng Jiulang and Liu Jing standing behind the stone wall were revealed.

In the dim candlelight, Gu Cheng looked at Deng Jiulang with a smile.

After glancing at him up and down, Gu Cheng said in a melodious voice: "Jiu Lang is so good!" Disgraced. The clothes are tattered, but they are still calm and idle, admire and admire! ”

After saying this, he didn't wait for Deng Jiulang to reply, his right hand was raised forward, and he said very gracefully: "Jiulang is a distinguished guest, Gu Mouping can't invite him if he wants to." Please, please! ”

And when Gu Cheng's voice fell, the four black-clothed men had already walked behind Deng Jiulang in unison, pressing their sword scabbards with a cold face.

Deng Jiulang smiled. In the shadows, he said lightly: "Gu Erlang will also use this method of the dog and fly camp." After Gu Cheng's face turned cold when he said this, Deng Jiulang smiled, shook his sleeves, and strode forward.

Liu Jing hurriedly caught up a few steps and walked to Deng Jiulang's side.

Seeing her next to Deng Jiulang, passing by without looking at herself, Gu Cheng suddenly stretched out her hand.

He reached out and clasped Liu Jing's arm, and said coldly: "Liu, don't forget your identity!" ”

Liu Jing turned her head.

In the candlelight, her face was not very distinct, but there was an indescribable calm in her black and white eyes. This kind of calmness made Gu Cheng's hand loosen somehow and let her go.

As soon as Liu Jing was free, she ran a few steps and chased after Deng Jiulang.

Looking at Liu Jing's figure in the same direction, Gu Cheng slowly handed over the candle flame in his hand to a guard, and smiled indifferently.

The group groped their way through the dark tunnels, so they walked very slowly.

I don't know how long it took to walk, an hour or two hours? Or, is it three hours?

Suddenly, a huge underground space appeared in front of the eyes of the two of them. It was a large, half-natural, half-man-made hole, with a flat floor and columnar droplet-like stuff hanging overhead. And on the right side of the big hole, in a deep stream dozens of meters deep, there is a bottomless Yin River flowing. The Yin River is flowing, and when you walk on it, you can hear the murmuring of the flowing water.

After walking a few hundred steps in this underground space, the man in black quickened his steps, and after a while, a manicured cave appeared in front of him. The cave is shaped like a palace, and you can't see the edge at a glance. On the left and right sides of the cave, hundreds of big men knelt on the ground.

…… In today's world, even in the face of the emperor, there are very few people who kneel and bow, and it is impossible for ordinary magnates to have such a big frame!

And at this moment, the black-clothed man who was full of holes and halls was kneeling on the ground and bowing to Gu Cheng!

At this moment, not only Liu Jing, but also Deng Jiulang, was also shocked!

Gu Chengguang stepped forward with fluttering sleeves.

When he walked in front of the black-clothed men, they all shouted in unison at the same time, "See the lord!" ”

Gu Cheng's eyes swept over everyone like electricity, slowly spread his hands, and shouted, "Get up." ”

"Yes!"

The black pressed a piece and stood up in unison.

Just standing there, these men in black had an indescribable flesh aura. When this kind of blood qi made the breath of the cave suffocate, Gu Cheng's elegant voice came melodiously, "All retreat!" ”

"Yes." There was another unison of responses that shook people's ears, and after the answer, all the black-clothed people bowed down and slowly retreated. The two holes behind them seemed to be two bottomless black holes, allowing these people to exit one by one and disappear one by one.

When none of the men in black were gone, this huge cave, which could accommodate five or six thousand people, was whining in the wind and murmuring in the water......

Standing in the middle of the main hall, under the bright lights, Gu Cheng, who looked particularly calm and mysterious, slowly turned his head at this time.

He looked at him with a cold, emotionless look in his eyes. looked at Liu Jing and the two condescendingly. After staring for a while, Gu Cheng slowly sat down on the main couch, he put his hands on the edge of the couch on both sides, looked at Liu Jing in an indifferent posture for a while, and turned to Deng Jiulang.

His eyes that were so dark that he couldn't see them all looked at Deng Jiulang fixedly, and after a while, Gu Cheng's melodious voice echoed in the cave, "Deng Jiu, you fell into my hands!" ”

The corners of his mouth curled slightly. After a plausible smile. Gu Cheng Nadong heard the voice of the pole lingering in the cave, "Famous in the world, as the best son of the first family in the world, Deng Qing." You didn't expect that. One day it will fall into my hands. Life and death can no longer be autonomous, right? ”

The smile that purged at the corners of his mouth slowly opened in his voice. also with a sense of pride in indifference.

Facing Gu Chengdi's inquiry, Deng Jiulang didn't reply, he just looked at Gu Cheng quietly.

Obviously, it was a joy for Gu Cheng to be able to capture Deng Jiulang, he tilted his head slightly, and after carefully looking at Deng Jiulang for a while, he clasped his hands together and shouted elegantly: "Someone!" ”

Several female voices came, "Lord? ”

"I can go to the wish today, it's a great joy, go, put the wine and food on the table, I want to drink three cups for Deng Lang!"

"Yes!"

After Gu Cheng's voice fell, there was a ringing clanging, and after a while, the smell of wine and meat came from the rouge incense, and I saw six beautiful girls holding wooden trays, holding wine and meat, and came gracefully.

After a while, in front of Liu Jing and Deng Jiulang, a table of wine and food was placed.

Looking at the steaming wine and meat, Deng Jiulang, who had not spoken since entering the cave, suddenly said: "Four years ago, there was a great drought in Yizhou, and the displaced people poured into Jiangzhou and killed the county guard of Jiangzhou...... In fact, it was a group of rangers who instigated the homeless people to kill the Jiangzhou county guards, and it was also the rangers who suppressed the riots to protect the wealthy families in Jiangzhou. No one knows that after the catastrophe in Jiangzhou, the major forces were reshuffled, and until now, it is not the local county guards who really control Jiangzhou, but the rangers. Gu Cheng, you planned this later, right? ”

Deng Jiulang's voice, low and cold, came slowly, because he was used to being in a high position, this ordinary tone, spit out at this moment, echoed through the cave, and there was a kind of compelling force.

Under this kind of strength, Gu Cheng had to be serious. He put down the wine cup in his hand, and met Deng Jiulang with dark eyes, but did not reply.

After a short pause, Deng Jiulang's voice rose again, "Three years ago, as soon as the epidemic in Yangzhou started, it was spread so much that almost the entire city of Poyang County was empty. When everyone found out that it was just a rumor, and when they returned to Poyang County, they found that the city had changed hands, and all the original forces had been cut off, and they were replaced by a group of children from Luoyang...... Gu Cheng, this is also your handiwork, right? ”

In the bright lights, under Deng Jiulang's close gaze, Gu Cheng smiled slowly, he took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped his lips, and replied elegantly: "Yes, it's all me." ”

Hearing him admit it, Deng Jiulang smiled.

Slowly, he smiled, and said: "Two years ago, the Yizhou earthquake, the five counties were the same disaster, at this time, there was a group of rangers who came forward, they relieved the victims, and killed the traitors with swords, until now, the five counties are still the base camp of that group of rangers......" When he said this, Gu Cheng, who had been in a good time, finally sank his handsome face.

It didn't seem to know what to do, and he casually said where Gu Cheng's power was, Deng Jiulang still said unhurriedly: "But in just four years, your Gu clan has risen rapidly, from an unliterate leader to the leader of the world's clear stream, and can command the rangers of seven or eight states...... Gu Cheng, I have always admired you! ”

This time, as soon as Deng Jiulang's voice fell, a burst of applause of 'pop-pop-' came. But it was Gu Cheng who clasped his palms together and applauded.

In the crisp high-five, Gu Cheng's melodious and charming voice sighed softly, "I thought I was hiding it well, but no one in the world knew about it, so I couldn't hide it from you?" It's a pity, it's a pity, Deng Jiulang, who is so hand-eyed and powerful, still fell into my hands! What a pity! ”
