Gu Heng smiled bitterly in his heart.
He put down his wine glass and cupped his hands at General Manager Liu with an apologetic expression on his rosy face.
"This subordinate will have to let down General Manager Liu's high hopes. Due to certain reasons, this subordinate is temporarily unable to leave.”
Gu Heng said apologetically.
As soon as he said this, General Flag Liu's expression did not change. His hand paused and he continued to drink. He did not take it seriously. He turned his head slightly and continued to chat with the other general flags.
In his opinion, Chen Mo was a veteran of the Brocade Guard. He knew why Chen Mo had brought Gu Heng here tonight, so he could just do him a favor. However, Gu Heng did not know how to appreciate favors. There was nothing he could do about it. Now that he had the chance, he would be useless no matter where he went.
Chen Mo's eyes widened when he heard Gu Heng's words. He gritted his teeth in hatred.
In the next moment, he looked at Gu Heng's indifferent expression and suddenly felt discouraged. His body seemed to have shrunk by half in an instant.
The disappointment on his face was not hidden at all. It was no longer the disappointment of being disappointed, but the disappointment of completely giving up.
"Forget it. Since you have no intention of advancing further, then let's do it this way. I still have some things to discuss with the other Chief Flags. You, you, you can go back first.”
Gu Heng was silent. He felt sorry for Chen Mo, who had always taken good care of him. However, he could not give up on the System. It was the only shortcut he could take to become stronger in this world.
He cupped his hands at Chen Mo and the other commanders before turning around and walking down the restaurant.
Behind him, the few leaders of the Drunken Talk Tower were still chatting. No one mentioned the matter with Gu Heng just now. To them, this kid was just a small flag. Moreover, he did not want to improve. He might be like this for the rest of his life and was not worth paying attention to.
……
On the other side, Gu Heng, who had walked down from the Intoxicated Flower Restaurant, was a little more awake when the cold wind blew. His body was not as shaky anymore. He tightened the embroidered spring knife at his waist and walked along the street to his home.
"Sigh, I can only remember Chen Zongqi's kindness in my heart first. I'll repay him when I have the chance.”
"Moreover, my thoughts are right. Big Ming is very dangerous, whether it's on the surface or in the dark. If he encounters a certain land god, he won't even know how he died.”
Gu Heng put away the complicated feelings in his heart and thought about things as he walked.
Suddenly, when he passed by Emperor Tai Street, he stopped and raised his head to look at the tallest building in the Forbidden City. His slightly tipsy expression changed.
He saw two figures standing at the top of the Forbidden City. Coupled with the fact that they were drunk, the two shadows in his eyes were slightly distorted and emitted a strange aura.
"F * ck, what the hell is this?"
Almost out of instinct, he flicked his right thumb and unsheathed the Embroidered Spring Saber at his waist. He gripped it with his right hand and swung it out.
This slash was Gu Heng's full-strength slash. In addition, he was drunk this time and was frightened. He even squeezed out all the remaining strength in his body.
In an instant, the saber light was like a galaxy, incomparably sharp. In a flash, it crossed a thousand meters in an instant.
Two short muffled grunts could be heard in the dark night. Gu Heng looked again, but there was not even a shadow. He rubbed his eyes and panted slightly. He first put the Embroidered Spring Knife back into its sheath.
"Not a ghost?"
"It seems to be two people?"
"No, there shouldn't be anyone standing on the Forbidden City at this late hour. I must have seen wrongly.”
"Phew, I was almost scared to death."
"Drinking will cause trouble, drinking will cause trouble. It's better to drink less in the future. Burp!!”
"Let's go, let's go."
Gu Heng's blade had drained all of his strength, and his body was shaking even more violently. Fortunately, the Great Ming Imperial City was still relatively safe. On the way, there were some local ruffians and hooligans who wanted to cause trouble. When they saw Gu Heng calling him a Flying Fish Suit, they were even more scared out of their wits, wishing that their parents had an extra leg.
Half an hour later, Gu Heng returned to his residence and fell into bed drunk. He did not even remember to change his clothes and fell asleep.
……
Half an hour ago, when Gu Heng rejected Liu Zongqi's offer, Chen Mo walked out of Drunken Flower Restaurant with a disappointed expression.
At the top of the Forbidden City.
The two figures were facing each other.
A figure dressed in white clothes that were whiter than snow appeared. Even in the dark of the night, his bright eyes could not be hidden. He held a long sword in his hand, and the word 'Flying Rainbow' was engraved on the hilt.
The word 'two' and the blade were three feet and three inches long. In the dark night, they shone with a cold light.
Twenty meters in front of this graceful figure was another figure holding a sword.
He was also dressed in white, but his face was cold and emotionless. He didn't look like a person, but more like a sword, a lonely sword, an invincible sword.
Different from the snow-white 'rainbow', this cold man was holding a black scabbard longsword in an ancient form. It was black, long, and narrow, and ancient.
"If there is dirt in your heart, your sword will be weak. Ye Gucheng, your sword is dirty. You are not completely loyal to the person, nor are you loyal to the sword.”
