Chapter Seventy-Nine: Refusal
"What should we do now?" Gu Junliang heard Han Zheng's words, and his face suddenly became anxious, if they really set fire to the mountain, they really had nowhere to escape.
"Don't worry, he doesn't dare! I think he deliberately tried to see if we are afraid!" Gu Zhong said with an affirmative expression.
"President Zhong, are you so sure that he didn't dare to set fire, is there any reason?" Ling Wuxie asked suspiciously.
"Of course there is, because this area belongs to the dividing line between the Shuangyu Lordship and the Meihan Lordship, unless he wants to go to war with the Meihan Lordship. Gu Zhong said with an affirmative face.
Ling Wuxie listened to Gu Zhong's words, and then thought of Han Zheng's tone of voice, he always felt that something was wrong, but what Gu Zhong said was so sure, and it was not unreasonable.
"Let's find a way out of this jungle first! Ling Wuxie didn't understand what was going on, so he had to say what he thought.
"But except for the road not far away to the Lord of Meihan, the rest of this place is all jungle area, and there is no road to go at all!" Gu Zhong said with a wry smile.
"It's troublesome, it looks like there's going to be a vicious battle, if I'm not mistaken, Han Zheng should really dare to set fire, although I don't know the reason, but I trust my judgment. Ling Wuxie directly said his thoughts.
"It shouldn't be possible! How dare he! Isn't he afraid that the Emperor Taishang will blame him?" Gu Zhong frowned. After all, if Han Zheng really set the fire, they really wouldn't be a little troublesome.
If Han Zheng and the others really set fire to the mountain, then there is only one way to go here, but this road has been blocked, and they will not be burned alive at that time.
"Does President Zhong know where the nearest water source is?" Ling Wuxian suddenly asked something that made Gu Zhong baffled.
Gu Zhong frowned and looked at Ling Wuxie, and finally shook his head and said, "There is indeed a water source not very far from here, but it is not a place where people can go, so it's best not to go if you can." ”
"But if they really set fire to the mountain for a while, will we have anywhere else to go? Ling Wuxie pondered while analyzing the current situation.
"Gu Zhong, I think you have made great contributions to the imperial capital, as long as you go back with me and explain things clearly, then we are still old friends as before. Just as Ling Wuxian and the three of them were discussing how to get out, Han Zheng's voice came again.
"If you're not interested, then don't blame me for being rude, don't think that I don't dare to set fire to the special terrain here, if you don't believe it, just try it. ”
"Let's hurry to the place where you just said there is a water source, it will be too late. Hearing Han Zheng's unhesitating tone, Ling Wuxian knew that his guess would soon come true.
"Hurry up!" Gu Zhong also knew that things seemed to be very different from his imagination, he hurriedly led the way in front, and the only way to retreat was to fight to the death, and there might be a chance to move forward.
Just as the three of Ling Wuxie were just about to leave, a figure suddenly blocked their way, "Are you going to die?"
It was none other than Commander Xiao, Commander Xiao's strength was one of the best in the imperial family, and Ling Wuxie knew that even if the three of them joined forces, they would definitely not be his opponents.
"Commander Xiao blocked our way at this time, did he want to suppress people with his strength?" Ling Wuxie was originally unkind to this Commander Xiao, but now that he blocked the way, he was even more unhappy.
"You are wrong, I am here to save you, as long as you promise me one condition, you will have nothing to do today. Commander Xiao ignored Ling Wuxie's words, but said to himself.
"What conditions?" Ling Wuxie knew that this guy was definitely not a good bird, so he simply asked directly.
"Actually, it's very simple, that is, when I need your help in the future, you must go all out and not shirk the slightest!" Commander Xiao said very seriously.
It's like he's going to do something big, and now there's something missing, so he will do a favor first and take people down, and then he will have more people.
Hearing Commander Xiao's words, although Ling Wuxie was still unsure, he already had some understanding in his heart, and the matter of Princess Xue Li last time made him a little confused, and at that time he felt that there was something wrong with this Commander Xiao.
And coupled with Commander Xiao's current words, Ling Wuxie knew that he must have felt that his strength was only a commander in the imperial capital, and he was unwilling in his heart, and he had the intention of rebelling.
So he began to win over some people who were dissatisfied with the imperial family in the imperial capital, wanting to use it for himself, in his mind, thinking that Ling Wuxie's situation was the most suitable to woo, because their current situation was very dangerous, who would want to die if they had a way to live!
Commander Xiao also valued Gu Zhong's role, so at this time, he felt that as long as he came to woo him, they would definitely not refuse.
However, things were different from what he thought, and he only heard Gu Zhong say: "I have received Commander Xiao's wishes, but Commander Xiao is a member of the royal family, and our current situation is special, if Commander Xiao thinks we are fools, then you can let the horse come, and it is impossible for us to listen to you." ”
In Gu Zhong's opinion, Commander Xiao was going to deceive them first, and then they would not have any freedom, and they would definitely die a miserable death, but he knew why they wanted to escape.
"I think President Zhong misunderstood, I didn't mean that, as long as you agree to my conditions, I will take you out of here immediately, and I will never join Han Zheng and them. Commander Xiao knew that Gu Zhong had misunderstood, so he hurriedly explained.
Seeing Commander Xiao's serious face, Gu Zhong felt that he didn't feel like he was lying, and now that their situation was indeed not optimistic, Gu Zhong was a little tempted.
However, he didn't agree immediately, but turned his gaze to Ling Wuxie's body, he wanted to see what Ling Wuxie thought, because he found that Ling Wuxie's thoughts were more far-sighted and decisive enough, and the former should have such a mentality.
Seeing Gu Zhong turn his gaze to himself, Ling Wuxie finally breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that Gu Zhong would agree to Commander Xiao like this, and then he would be in trouble.
"I admire Commander Xiao's lofty ambitions, but we just want to be an ordinary person, we don't like those things that fight and kill, today's things are still for Commander Xiao's sake, for Princess Xue Li's sake, I will remember Commander Xiao's kindness in the future." Ling Wuxian said a bunch of words that made Gu Zhong inexplicable.
But when Commander Xiao heard Ling Wuxie's words, his face suddenly became gloomy, and at this time, Ling Wuxie felt a strong murderous intent from his body.
