C7 Inn by accident
When the city gates opened, it naturally alarmed the nearly thousand people waiting outside the city.
However, the soldiers that came out were all clad in armor, holding blades in their hands as they rode fine horses to stand at the city gate. They didn't dare to act rashly, so the thousand soldiers didn't dare to act rashly.
"Based on the words of our Emperor, at noon today, at the execution grounds on the east street, the parents of the fugitive Gu Hao who betrayed his country, Ling Chi, invited the citizens of the entire nation to come closer and take a look. Therefore, there is no need to check if anyone has entered the city today. The city gates will open! "
With that, the leader of the army, a silver-armored general, moved his horse to the side, and the soldiers behind him moved out of the way.
Nearly a thousand citizens outside the city had been waiting anxiously for the gate to open. They didn't even need to check the gate when the chrysalis entered the city, beaming happily.
Gu Hao was mixed in the crowd, and slowly approached the city gate, a pair of eyes constantly looking at the general and the city gate around him.
"Ancient Kid, from the looks of it, the Emperor of Wu has already set up an ambush in the city. If you go in now, I'm afraid you won't have much luck." "Why don't you listen to this old man and hide for now. It won't be too late for revenge when your body recovers in the future."
Cha Chaer's voice sounded out in Gu Hao's mind.
Gu Hao shook his head, and replied back with his own consciousness: "Even if the city is a dragon's lagoon or a tiger's cave, I will still give it a try today!"
"Ai!"
Cha Chaer let out a sigh, and no longer made a sound.
Gu Hao followed the crowd and slowly entered the city.
This was the fourth time Gu Hao had come to the imperial city.
The first time, Gu Hao reached the Sky Origin Stage at the age of fifteen, was called to the Emperor Wu and was sealed in the capital.
The second time, Gu Hao was so weak that his cultivation reached the level of a Supreme Realm Saint and was summoned by the Emperor Wu to be conferred a title in the capital.
The third time, Gu Hao, twenty-three years old, failed to form his foundation after drawing upon lightning, was ambushed by the Emperor Wu and sent to the dungeon. And this time, he stayed in the imperial city for half a year.
Gu Hao stood on the busy streets of the imperial city, looking at the people coming and going, the shops and the hawkers, his heart filled with emotion.
He recalled that the first time he entered the imperial capital, he brought light with him, and the second time the light shone even brighter. The third time, he was miserable and sent to prison. This time, his cultivation dropped and he was heavily injured, so he came to the capital to take the prison.
Life is like a dream. It really is unpredictable!
Gu Hao shook his head and sighed as he walked along the ancient street.
The ancient street was thousands of meters long. There were four main roads in the north, south, east, and west. There were also many small intersecting streets.
At the end of North Street was the imperial plaza, and behind the plaza was the Wu's Imperial Palace.
At the end of East Street, there was an important military place, which was the main gathering place for soldiers and officials in Wu.
At the end of the West Street was the official residence, where 90% of the officials' manors in the imperial capital resided.
As for the merchants, their armor was spread throughout the imperial capital.
Gu Hao walked along the ancient street from the south to the north. He walked all the way to the end of the northern street before finally stopping in front of the plaza.
Looking at the magnificent palace from the back, Gu Hao clenched his fists. In his heart, he wanted to rush in so much so that he could grab the Wu Emperor's neck and ask him why.
Yes, why?
Ever since he started cultivating, he had never done anything bad to himself. In fact, when he became a Sky Origin Stage cultivator, he had even taken orders to go out and exterminate bandits, making many meritorious battles to protect the borders of Wu.
It was so much so that when Gu Hao became the Zhi Zun, that when he became the strongest warrior of his generation, he did not do anything out of bounds. He did not care about the position of being famous nor did he care about the power, and he was still respectful to the Wu Emperor.
Gu Hao asked himself, being loyal to Wu, being extremely respectful to him. However, in exchange for this ambush, his hometown was massacred, and his parents were captured.
In the prison, the reason why Gu Hao did not resist, and kept hanging on with his life, was because he believed that there must have been a misunderstanding. It was because he believed that the emperor of the Wu, whom he respected, would definitely help him wash away his grievances.
However, what he didn't expect was that the people he was waiting for were actually his parents who had been slaughtered, and that his parents were being escorted into the capital with the news that they were going to die soon.
In that moment, Gu Hao was completely enraged. This was also the first time Gu Hao had killed so many people since he had started cultivating to this day.
Woo!
The long cry of the bronze horn broke Gu Hao's train of thought. A group of soldiers solemnly came out from the palace. As they stepped forward, they headed straight to the center of the square, and then, raised the flags.
Gu Hao did not continue watching. He endured the impulse in his heart because he currently did not have the strength to do so. Moreover, he had more important things to do.
At the end of the East Street, it became the east city. Other than the special needs of the imperial city, the main army was stationed at the palace, while the rest of the army was stationed here.
On the east street, however, the most famous was not the army. In the middle of the plaza on the east street, there was a stage, which was the most famous place for execution in the imperial city, or even in the entire Wu.
Ever since the establishment of the Wu, countless people had been tortured to death here, causing the green stone platform to turn dark red.
Gu Hao walked past the east gate, but did not directly go to the execution grounds. Instead, he turned around and walked into a nearby pub.
Entering the tavern, Gu Hao went straight up to the third floor, found a place near the window, and sat down. This was the perfect place to observe the execution ground on the east side of the street.
"Sir, what would you like to drink?" The waiter asked politely.
"Give me two knives of roasted wine and cut me a catty of beef."
Gu Hao used his eyes to look outside the window. Feeling that the location was not bad, he instructed the waiter.
"Alright!"
The waiter responded by waving a cloth and running downstairs. As he ran, he shouted: "Third floor, seven seats, two bottles of roasted wine, one catty of beef!"
After a while, the meat was served. Gu Hao took a sip of the wine and ate the meat. The meat and wine had passed through his intestines, but Gu Hao didn't feel it at all.
He was waiting for the execution to begin, for his parents to show up.
"Aiyo, Ancient Kid, aren't you being too immoral? A person drinking wine and eating meat. " Cha Chaer's voice sounded once again, expressing his dissatisfaction.
"If you can get out, I don't mind treating you to a piece of Overlord's Dinner." Gu Hao replied coldly.
Yes! Overlord's meal!
From the moment Gu Hao walked into the shop, what Gu Hao had prepared was a domineering meal. He had just escaped from prison and was penniless.
"Overlord's meal?" This old man loves to eat and drink for free. Haha, you brat, you are becoming more and more to my taste. " Cha Chaer replied. But what a pity, I am trapped in the Reincarnation Pendant and am unable to leave, if not I will have a earth-shattering drink with you, haha! "
Gu Hao didn't know why this old fellow, Cha Chaer, was suddenly so happy. He had always thought that this old fellow was very mysterious, and the first time Gu Hao had seen this old man, he already knew in his heart that this old man wasn't any good person. Therefore, he had always been indifferent to Cha Chaer.
Could it be that this old man had some special feelings for wine?
"Right, the black silk that you emitted from the pendant before, can it still be used now? When I go to jail, I hope you can send them away first. " Gu Hao withdrew his suspicions and asked.
This was also the question that Gu Hao had been thinking about since he entered the city. The imperial city was already heavily guarded, and now there were ambushes everywhere. Moreover, there were countless experts, so it was unknown if he could charge out, let alone bring along his parents, who had no cultivation.
"This, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you." Cha Chaer was no longer excited. The last time I saved you, I had already exhausted more than half of my life essence. Now that I have not recovered, I may not be able to control those black threads for the time being. But I'll try my best. "
Gu Hao went silent, and did not speak anymore, his brows knitted tightly. Jailbreak was not a problem, but he had to think of a way out.
Although Gu Hao didn't know the reason, but looking at the situation, the Wu Emperor had to put him to death. Therefore, he couldn't be careless or else he might die here.
At this time, a woman's voice suddenly came from the stairs, "Waiter, the last bottle of Jade Liquid Jade and the four dishes are good. Quickly bring it over."
Before he could finish his sentence, a beautiful figure walked up the stairs.
Gu Hao, who was thinking of a method, was startled by the voice, and suspiciously looked towards the stairs, and it was this look, that caused him to be unable to retract his gaze.
The pretty girl that came up seemed to have felt Gu Hao's gaze and stared at her with displeasure. But at the same time, she stared back at him with one eye, unable to retract his gaze any longer.
