Chapter 12—I Can't Measure My Life (12)
When he came out, Gu Lu saw fifty or sixty cavalrymen dismounted outside, blocking the street tightly. There was a carriage parked at the gate, and the two horses pulling it looked extremely majestic.
"Please", Sun Yunguan said to Gu Lu, "The carriage is ready." ”
Although Gu Lu has hole cards in his body, he has never gone through such a big formation before, and he can't help but feel worried. Being said by Sun Yunguan aroused his arrogance. It's just some old aborigines, so what's there to be afraid of?
He is already tall, and he looks even more extraordinary after puffing up his chest. It's a pity that now he is surrounded by some big men, and no one secretly agrees for him, which is a fly in the ointment.
After getting into the carriage, the cavalry also turned over and rode in the direction of Nancheng.
It was a very bad time, and there were far fewer people on the streets than usual, and it took less than an hour for the carriage to arrive at the headquarters at the southern gate of the city. Gu Lu stepped out of the carriage and found that it was very busy, and from time to time he could see soldiers in a hurry coming and going.
The officer, Sun Yunguan, turned around and left coldly after handing over the task to the guards at the door. He was succeeded by a simple-looking soldier with a swarthy face and a thick chest, and as soon as he spoke, he cracked the corners of his mouth and laughed, "You come with me, the commander is waiting for you inside." ”
Gu Lu pretended to be casual and said, "There are a lot of people here." ”
"Yes," said the soldier, not doubting him, "there are so many of us here!" ”
"Were there so many people before?"
"Before? I didn't know, I was new. ”
Gu Lu was speechless, so he had to dispel the idea of asking for news from the soldier's mouth. This headquarters was the command center for all the Black Dragon Society's troops near the city of Beijing, and in addition to the logistics units, a B regiment and an artillery company were stationed nearby. As for all kinds of special forces, such as engineer companies, cavalry companies and the like, there are a whole bunch of them.
So, if you want to raid this command center, you basically don't count on it. And even without these troops, the Black Dragon King alone would be enough to bombard all small-scale infiltration troops. However, Gu Lu didn't know this, he just saw that this place was heavily guarded, and he was full of interest in the upcoming meeting.
Gu Lu walked for a few more minutes and was led into a large house. Here, he saw Chen Cheng who was lying on the table and criticizing various documents.
The soldier stood upright, and then said loudly: "Report, Mr. Gu has come." ”
"Oh, got it, thank you, you go out first." The hard-working young man raised his head, smiled at the soldier, and then said to Gu Lu: "Please wait for me for a few more minutes, I'll just process these few documents." ”
Gu Lu was shocked when the young man raised his head, he really couldn't imagine that this so-called chief of staff was such a young and beautiful young man. Because he was too surprised, he didn't react for a while, and after being stunned for more than ten seconds, he suddenly realized: "Okay, okay, you are busy first, I'm not in a hurry." ”
He sat down in a chair and began to survey the room. The room was clean and tidy, with all kinds of documents and items neatly organized. There is a faint smell in the air, like spring grass and autumn sunshine, which makes people feel at ease and relaxed.
After a while, Chen Cheng finished the powder document in his hand. Then, he stood up, walked up to Gu Lu, stretched out his hand, and said, "Hello, I'm Chen Cheng from the Black Dragon Society." ”
Temporary? Gu Lu shook hands with the young man and complained in his heart: Could it be that you were born in civil engineering?
The young man's palm was dry and soft, and it was very comfortable to hold, if he hadn't seen the other party's Adam's apple, Gu Lu would have suspected that the person in front of him was a girl pretending. After he withdrew his palm, he said, "Hello, I'm Gu Lu." Well, that, I don't know what you're seeing me for? I guess we didn't know each other before, right? ”
"Heh," Chen Cheng chuckled, stared at Gu Lu and said, "Presumably, Your Excellency has a lot of doubts in his heart, and there are also a lot of speculations. ”
Gu Lu's face remained unchanged, and he watched the young man's performance with a smile. There were a lot of unexpected things, but Gu Lu would not lose his temper because of this.
"Well, I'll just say it." Seeing that Gu Lu didn't answer, Chen Cheng didn't go around in circles, "No, let's talk about something else before we talk directly." ”
"Oh, for example?" The surprise in Gu Lu's heart had dissipated, and she became calm and relaxed again.
"For example, this," Chen Cheng said in an aria-like tone, "There are some things we know, and some things we don't know." We know some things that we know, and we know that there are things we don't know, that is"
Speaking of this, Chen Cheng stopped, looked at Gu Lu, who was obviously suppressed, and said with a smile: "What do you mean?" ”
Gu Lu was silent for a while before saying, "In other words, we just don't know about those things we don't know."
"Oh, it seems that you are at least ****** someone after that era." Chen Cheng said: "Actually, it doesn't matter, I don't care about your origin, origin, political leanings, and your purpose." ”
"And what do you care?" Gu Lu asked rhetorically, "Do you only care about your own interests?" ”
"No," Chen Cheng replied, "it should be said that it is our interest." ”
"Ours?"
"Of course. With the exception of a few people in this world, most alliances and cooperation are linked by common interests. There should be no conflict between us, and we can complement each other. ”
"That's a good point," Gu Lu pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said, "But how can we guarantee that each other will keep our promises?" Wouldn't one side want to eat the other? ”
"Eat?" Chen Cheng shrugged his shoulders, "Your ability to shuttle between two or more worlds should be something you can only use, even if others catch you, you can also rely on this ability to escape." Even if there is a problem, it is a big deal that you don't come to this world. So, you shouldn't have to worry about being eaten. Besides, I don't like to eat men. ”
Gu Lu's face changed greatly, and cold sweat flowed down her back. The biggest secret in my heart is told to my face, and this feeling is like walking naked on the endless avenue. He resisted the urge to run away, tried his best to calm down, and asked, "What you said is right, then aren't you worried that I will turn against the guest?" ”
Will you be worried? Chen Cheng was not worried at all.
