After Kuo Zhong finished his words, the gambling hall fell silent.
Ren Meimei looked at Dugu Ce in surprise and couldn't help but distance herself from him.
Although the Pengliang Gang had not officially raised their flag to rebel, in this world of great conflict, any gang with some power would have the heart to rebel. They were all potential rebels.
No one would believe that Peng Liang did not have any ulterior motives.
The Dugu Clan was Sui Ting's most loyal supporter. Empress Dugu, the birth mother of Emperor Yang Guang, was born in the Dugu Clan. Dugu Feng, the leader of the Dugu Clan, was the direct cousin of the current Emperor.
Many of the Dugu Family's men were in the Xiaoguo Army and were responsible for protecting the Emperor.
Even Dugu Ce himself had a position in the Vigor Army.
To put it in layman's terms, the Dugu Family was like the emperor's eagle and hounds. Hunting rebels was their natural duty.
When she thought of Dugu Ce's identity, Ren Meimei felt uncomfortable, no matter how much she liked him.
Not only Ren Meimei, but there were also a lot of people in the gambling hall. After Kou Zhong exposed Dugu Ce's identity, those who had already rebelled or were about to rebel all glared at him like tigers eyeing their prey. They seemed to have rushed forward and wanted to tear him into pieces.
In particular, Kou Zhong had lied that Dugu Ce had killed "Kou Zhong" and Xu Zhiling and obtained the secrets of Eunuch Yang's Treasure House.
There is a saying in the world that the jade of He's family and the treasure house of Yang Gong can make the world stable if they are one.
To the rebels, the attraction of Eunuch Yang's Treasure House was more than the He Clan Jade Wall.
After all, the He Jade Annulus was only a symbol of the imperial system. Not everyone would acknowledge it. Eunuch Yang's Treasure House, which had a large amount of weapons and money, could be converted into real power in a short period of time, equipping tens of thousands of armored elites.
In the eyes of the rebels, Dugu Ce was no longer just an eagle hound of the Sui Dynasty. He was also a golden child who seemed to be made of pure gold.
Even though Ren Meimei had subconsciously distanced herself from him, and he was being watched by the traitors and traitors in the gambling hall, Dugu Ce remained calm and collected. He didn't look angry at all.
He leisurely leaned on his chair and took a sip of tea. Then, he glanced at Kuo Zhong and smiled."That's right, I'm Dugu Ce. I know the secret of Eunuch Yang's Treasure House. But, when did I kill you, Kuo Zhong? Could it be that the person standing in front of me now is a wandering ghost?”
Kuo Zhong stared at Dugu Ce with a gloomy face. His body trembled slightly, and he clenched his fists. His eyes were filled with bone-deep hatred.
He gritted his teeth and said word by word,"Kuo Zhong is already a wandering ghost. My name is Du Sha, Du as in Du Fuwei, and Sha as in Dugu Ce!”
"Du Sha?" Dugu Ce was slightly startled, but he immediately smiled and said,"This name is good." Du Sha, Du Sha, he was truly bold. Oh, why not add a nickname in front? Bloody Hand. Yes, Bloody Hand. Blood Hand Killing. Kill! Kill! Kill Dugu Ce! Blood was blood that must drink Dugu Ce's blood. What do you think, Brother Du?"
Kuo Zhong's eyes were filled with disbelief. He didn't expect Dugu Ce to have such a reaction.
Hearing Dugu Ce speak so casually, Ren Meimei's beautiful eyes lit up as if she had gotten to know Dugu Ce again. She couldn't help but move closer to him.
"But why did you change your surname to Du, Brother Du?" Dugu Ce smiled again. Or Du Fuwei's Du?"
Kuo Zhong did not say anything, but a deep and deep voice sounded from outside the gambling hall."Because he is now my adopted son!”
As soon as he said that, everyone's gaze could not help but be attracted. A middle-aged man, who was much taller than an ordinary person, with a tall hat and wide belt, his sleeves fluttering in the wind, and a stiff and unsophisticated face, walked into the gambling hall with his hands behind his back.
As soon as this person appeared, an invisible pressure spread out in the gambling hall. Almost everyone could not help but hold their breaths. Wherever this person passed by, the people in front of him would retreat to the side when they were 10 feet away from him. It was as if a ferocious tiger was patrolling the forest.
This person was the overlord of Jianghuai, Du Fuwei!
"So Brother Du Sha has already acknowledged Chief Du as his foster father.”
Seeing Du Fuwei, Dugu Ce remained seated and smiled."Brother Du Sha is extremely talented and is a natural born commander. He will definitely be able to greatly benefit Manager Du. With this Lin 'er, Manager Du's achievements in the future are limitless. Ce, I congratulate Chief Du here."
He kept calling Kuo Zhong Du Sha and never mentioned his real name. It was because after Kuo Zhong changed his name, the fate energy that originally belonged to 'Kuo Zhong' would gradually wear down and even dissipate.
As long as everyone no longer recognized him as Kuo Zhong, then it would be difficult for him to regain his destiny as Kuo Zhong.
Although talent wouldn't change, if divine arts couldn't defeat fate, then it would be even more difficult to defeat fate. Once he lost his fate, even if Kuo Zhong was as powerful as the Overlord of West Chu, he would not be able to escape destruction.
Du Fuwei slowly walked to the gambling table and stopped ten feet in front of Dugu Ce. Kuo Zhong glared at Dugu Ce, took a deep breath, and walked back behind Du Fuwei.
An invisible aura spread out in all directions. There was no one around the gambling table. Only Dugu Ce, Ren Meimei, Du Fuwei, and Kou Zhong were left.
Du Fuwei looked at Dugu Ce, who was smiling, and then looked at Ren Meimei."Mei Niangzi, you want to get involved in this muddy water?”
Ren Meimei gritted her teeth, glanced at Dugu Ce, and whispered,""Be careful. If you survive…I'll treat you to a drink.”
After saying that, she stood up and left the gambling table, reluctantly leaving.
Du Fuwei was too powerful. Among the heroes in the world, only Li Mi of Wagang was qualified to be on equal footing with him.
Although Ren Meimei was the third in charge of the Peng Liang Association, the Peng Liang Association was far from qualified to be compared to the Jianghuai Army. With Ren Meimei's status, if she offended Du Fuwei, it would not be just her problem. The entire Pengliang Union would be affected.
Even if Ren Meimei wanted to help Dugu Ce, she was not qualified to interfere in terms of martial arts, status, or power. If they were not careful, they would harm their own brothers.
Therefore, she had no choice but to leave.
After Ren Meimei left, Du Fuwei glared at Dugu Ce and said in a deep voice,"Seeing as you congratulated me just now, after I kill you, I'll have to bury you in a good coffin.”
"Thank you for your kindness, Chief Du." Dugu Ce smiled and stood up, saying,""Manager Du is generous and righteous, Ce cannot be stingy. If you kill General Manager Du, Sun Ce will take off his head and bring it to the emperor to bathe it in the clouds of Heaven.”
