I, mythical giant

Chapter 56

Gu Cheng can be regarded as the first city in the world that Jiang Shan saw—not counting Kunwu City, where it has become a lake without a single brick.

The first impression that Gu Cheng gives people is that of roughness and heavyness.

It's like being cast from a huge piece of stone.

The overall atmosphere is blue-grey. The streets are blue-grey and the buildings on both sides are blue-grey. At a glance, everything is blue-grey.

From a distance, you can see a majestic bluestone palace located in the center of the city. The eaves and bucket arches are all made of stone, inlaid with beautiful jade, gold, and bronze as decorations.

Under the slanting light of the setting sun, those jade, gold, and bronze decorations reflect colorful light, which is very dreamy.

That is Gu Guo's palace.

As for Gu Lie's General's Mansion, it is located on the side outside the palace. It is a single house, with a pure gray color and no gold or jade decoration. It looks tall and simple.

Jiang Shan and You Shi Jue walked into the General's Mansion without any hindrance.

Shi Jue was quite proud and said, "Yun and I are good friends and we often come here to play."

He also said: "Yun is Gu Yun, she is Gu Lie's only daughter."

Jiang Shan just didn't speak.

Earlier, I saw a female general in golden armor riding a beast with sharp claws, rushing forward, yelling one after another.

"Jue, take a stab at me!"

A crimson knife light of more than ten feet splashed towards the face, the sharp edge was hot, and the air was distorted; Shi Jue shouted happily: "It's coming!"

She punched out, and the light green real gun collided with the crimson knife light, setting off a violent gust of wind, blowing sparks into the surrounding flowers, plants and trees, and messing up the place.

The tall beast rushed forward, the female general reined in the rein with her saber, and the beast howled wildly, half of its body stood upright, casting a shadow.

"Jue!"

The female general turned over and jumped off the back of the beast. She threw it away and the long sword in her hand flew dozens of feet. Several armored warriors hurriedly caught the long sword.

The female general stepped forward, hugged You Shi Jue fiercely, and said, "Didn't you escort His Highness Zhong Yu down? This is His Highness Zhong Yu?"

She looked Jiang Shan up and down.

Upon hearing this, Shi Jue hurriedly said, "No, him."

Jiang Shan interrupted her directly and said, "I'm not Zhongyu, my name is Jiang Shan."

The female general blinked, and her eyelashes showed a tinge of red. She looked at Jiang Shan, and then at You Shi Jue: "Did you not hear from His Highness Zhongyu?"

Jiang Shan couldn't bear it anymore, and said straightly: "I want to see General Gu Lie!"

Gu Yun was surprised: "Why did you see my father?"

Jiang Shan said every word: "There is something very important!"

After hearing this, Gu Yun looked at You Shi Jue: "Really?"

Shi Jue said, "Yes."

Gu Yun smiled cheerfully: "Okay, I will take you to see my father."

When he saw Gu Lie, he was staring at the map hanging on the wall in a daze; but Gu Lie didn't show any extra emotions when Shi Jue and Jiang Shan came.

He waved Gu Yun away, keeping his eyes on the map without looking back, and said: "Zhong Yu is in my house. If you want to take him away, just defeat me."

Gu Lie's voice was as heavy as stone.

As soon as he opened his mouth, Jiang Shan and You Shi Jue were blocked.

The first time he saw Gu Lie's back, Jiang Shan's heart ached - he caught an unprecedented sense of crisis from Gu Lie, as if Gu Lie turned around, he would die!
It wasn't until Gu Lie spoke that this sense of fatal crisis gradually dissipated.

Jiang Shan took a breath, calmed down, and said, "I want to know what the general's purpose was in capturing Zhong Yu."

Gu Lie stared at the map, then turned around, facing Jiang Shan with an almost expressionless square face; there was a faint red light in his eyes, the moment he stared at Jiang Shan, that kind of fatal crisis , came out again.

Jiang Shan resisted the urge to turn around and flee, and continued: "The general is magnificent and majestic. I think the general took Zhong Yu into the house for the same purpose as Gu Wan, right?"

Speaking of Gu Nian, a trace of disdain clearly flashed in Gu Lie's eyes.

That sense of crisis disappeared again.

Gu Lie sat down slowly, and said, "I talked to Zhong Yu, he mentioned you. Your name is Jiang Shan."

Jiang Shan nodded: "It's a great honor for the general to know my name."

Gu Lie said: "You are not Zhongyu's retainer or servant, you just made a deal with him. In today's downfall of the Xiahou Clan, in the name of a deal, you are willing to go through life and death for him. I appreciate you very much."

Jiang Shan smiled casually: "You must have integrity as a human being."

Gu Lie nodded.

Then he said: "You have great courage and are also a smart man. You may have guessed the hesitation in my heart. That's why you came to see me."

Jiang Shan said: "The general's attitude towards Zhong Yu is not bad. The most important thing is that the general did not kill Shi Jue."

Said: "I don't think a general of a country will be a person who is indecisive and undecided."

Gu Lie let out a faint sigh and stretched out his hand to signal: "Please sit down."

Jiang Shan was as dumb as Shi Jue, so he sat down beside him.

Gu Lie said: "What I did is nothing unspeakable."

He said: "Wu Guang took the prestige of destroying Kunwu country, and Chen Bing stared at Gu country on the bank of Danshui. Although the rules of Danshui are wonderful, they are no longer reliable. Wu Guang drove 20 Kunwu slaves to build altars. Once it is completed, the blood of the slaves will be used as a sacrifice to suppress the rules of Danshui, and then march straight into our country with troops."

He sighed: "I am not afraid of Wu Guang. I used to be a savage, and was favored and promoted by the emperor, who gave me a surname and entrusted me with great trust, so I died, and I did not hesitate."

Savages are ordinary people in this world, they only have first names and no surnames; those with surnames are Chinese, and those with surnames and surnames are nobles.

Unexpectedly, Gu Lie was born as a savage!

He said: "But the country of Gu cannot perish!"

His tone was low and firm.

Jiang Shan was like a bystander, listening to Gu Lie's emotional words, but his heart was very calm, and he was not moved by it.

To put it bluntly, Jiang Shan has no sense of belonging in this world.Everything done is just a transaction based on its own principles.

Whether Kunwu or Gu, the survival or failure has nothing to do with Jiangshan.

He came here just to fulfill his trading principles.

Gu Lie seemed to be talking to himself: "One of the purposes of inviting His Highness Zhongyu here is to seek some assistance through His Highness Zhongyu. Although the Xiahou family has fallen, the Xiahou family has occupied the world for ten thousand years. I guess The foundation is profound, even if there are disasters, there will be remnants. If we can invite some strong men, not to mention defeating Wu Guang, just keep Gu Guo."

When Jiang Shan heard this, he felt that what he said made sense.

But then I thought about Zhongyu's current situation - even when he first met Jiang Shan, there was only Yuan Xin by his side, and no other strong guards.

Although Shi Jue has emerged now, Shi Jue is not very capable, but his brain is not very bright, so it is good if he does not cause trouble.

Therefore, even if there is any remnant of Xia Hou's so-called profound foundation, it may not be able to take care of Zhong Yu.
