Gao Wu: You were allowed to join the army and become a five-star general?

Chapter 498

Tang Qian's words were like a huge rock suddenly falling into the calm water surface for Gu Ming, which shocked him for a long time.

His heart beat unconsciously, and an unspeakable emotion grew in his heart.

White Tiger General Shen Guoguo, to him, was the same kind of person as Mr. Zhao and Long Yuan.

They had protected him and were his life mentors.

When he was weak, they saw his talent and protected him.

This kind of protection was like sending charcoal in the snow for Gu Ming.

Without their protection, Gu Ming himself might not have grown to where he is today.

Even if he had three supreme physiques, it was still the same.

This world is full of strong people and dangers. It is not a place where you can run rampant just because you have a cheat.

Gu Ming has always been very clear about how dangerous and realistic the world he lives in is.

And now, the White Tiger General who protected him and stood up for him is dead.

In front of Gu Ming's eyes, the elegant and tall figure of General Baihu and his somewhat unruly personality slowly emerged.

"How did he die?"

Gu Ming did not look up, and his words seemed to come from the depths of his throat, hoarse and silent.

Tang Qian looked at him, and a voice came from under his illusory face.

"Although there was no real war during the trip to the Kingdom of God, all parties also gained a lot of intelligence."

"The Lord of Machinery wants to be promoted to a demigod, and the Mechanical City is a necessary condition."

"And becoming a complete mechanical cyborg will have the opportunity to control the Mechanical City."

Gu Ming raised his eyes, his eyes were frighteningly calm, and he directly interrupted Tang Qian's next words.

"So, in order to fight for the Mechanical City, General Shen..."

Tang Qian looked at him silently and nodded.

"The Mechanical City is a killing weapon."

"I don't need to elaborate on how rare killing weapons are."

"Let me tell you this, there are no more than five killing weapons left in the world now."

"What's more, the Mechanical City is a killing weapon that can potentially make a mechanical demigod, so we can't give up the fight."

"So, the royal family decided to completely mechanically transform Shen Guoguo, who is at the eighth level, to train our eighth-level terminator and then fight for the Mechanical City."

"Don't we still have Dean Gu? Why must we use General Shen?"

Gu Ming kept this in his heart and didn't ask.

Because he had completely figured out the royal family's idea.

In order to fight for the Mechanical City, a seventh-level Dean Gu is obviously not enough.

Not strong enough, and not loyal enough to the royal family.

So, General Shen's transformation has almost become a foregone conclusion.

Looking at Gu Ming, who soon calmed down again, Tang Qian smiled, and his smile was obviously full of satisfaction.

"But you don't have to worry about Shen Guoguo."

"He is a general of the royal family. He sacrificed himself for the ancient country when necessary. This is his mission."

"And he also voluntarily underwent the transformation. No one forced him."

After that, Tang Qian stopped comforting Gu Ming and changed the subject.

"Soon, my ancient country will set out again and head to the Kingdom of God."

"This time, your marshal will still lead the way, but there will be many more people going than last time. You may be among them. If you go, this will be the first big scene you have experienced. I am looking forward to your performance."

The illusory face looked at Gu Ming. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he seemed to see a hint of appreciation on that face.

But Gu Ming didn't care about these and turned to say goodbye.

"Fifth Prince, I'll leave first."

Tang Qian nodded and told Gu Ming before leaving.

"I will watch over Kyoto. Don't worry about that little guy."

Gu Ming paused slightly and nodded to leave.

Declining Wen Ruqing's invitation to the dinner, Gu Ming walked out of the Night Watchman headquarters building alone.

In the evening, he turned his back to the building that pointed straight to the sky like a sword, but his heart was cold.

A gust of cold wind blew, and he stretched out his hand to tighten his clothes for no reason.

Gu Ming stared at his body's reaction in a daze, and after a long time he looked back at the sword-like Night Watchman building, without any joy in his heart about meeting Tang Qian today.

He could feel that Tang Qian admired him a little when he saw him.

It was not that he boasted, but intuition that Tang Qian might have the idea of ​​letting him take over the Night Watchman in the future, and he admired him very much.

However, the meeting with Tang Qian made Gu Ming very uncomfortable.

He didn't know where the discomfort was.

Perhaps it was that the other party lightly mentioned that Shen Guoguo was mechanically transformed, without any emotion.

Or perhaps it was the constant arrogance during the conversation, and the contempt for everything as a member of the royal family.

"I still don't have enough contact with the royal family?"

Gu MingRecalling the few people in the royal family he had met.

One was Mu Yanfei, and the other was Tang Yuke.

Both of them were his generals, and Mu Yanfei returned to the royal family later.

Tang Yuke was more straightforward, leaving the royal family since childhood, and disdained to be involved with them.

As for the rest, he had also met Tang Yongchen of the Seventh Emperor Palace and Tang Qian, the current Fifth Emperor.

The feeling these people gave him was the same.

High above, overlooking everything...

Gu Ming clenched his fists under his black windbreaker, and silently raised his feet to leave.

Because a mechanical city is still a mechanical city that is not necessarily available.

The ancient royal family chose to sacrifice General Baihu, who was a general at the peak of the eighth level!

Without looking back, Gu Ming's face calmed down again and he walked away.

He understood that from today on, there would only be the White Tiger General in the world, and no more Shen Guoguo...

Gu Ming, wearing a black windbreaker, walked on the streets of the inner city of Kyoto, and silently returned to the Marshal's Mansion.

He thought a lot along the way, about Shen Guoguo, about the Mechanical City, about the royal family, and so on.

His mind was very confused, more confused than ever before.

Because this was his first experience, such a powerful eighth-level strongman died just like that.

And the reason was just for a chance to seize the Mechanical City?

The Mechanical City was certainly a killing weapon, and it was certainly an important item for the promotion to Mechanical Demigod.

But, that was just a trivial hope, but Shen Guoguo had to be sacrificed for it.

Gu Ming asked himself from the bottom of his heart, again and again.

Can he accept this answer?

"Mu Yanfei, help me thoroughly investigate the cause of death of General Baihu and the whole process of his complete mechanical transformation."

"I'm not in a hurry to get an answer. Remember, you must protect yourself at all times. If things can't be done, escape from the capital."

In the imperial city, in the backyard garden of the Nine Emperors Palace.

Mu Yanfei sat quietly, and her face changed when she heard the voice from the depths of her sea of ​​consciousness.

"General Baihu was completely mechanically transformed. What was the cause of Shen Guoguo's death?"

Her eyes were a little surprised and doubtful, because even she didn't know about this matter.

But a general of the ace legion was completely mechanically transformed, which was equivalent to death, and no one notified her?

She pondered silently, and then frowned...
