Gu Chengfeng felt that the remnants of the fallen dynasty and the massive Chen army must have had their brains waterlogged from the rain to actually lock someone up in the Wine Cellar!
What in the world!
Gu Jiao wanted to enter the room.
He raised his hand to stop Gu Jiao, "Wait, I'll go in first."
After realizing he had nearly delivered a gift of death, Gu Chengfeng became especially vigilant. He left Gu Jiao outside and carefully inspected the Wine Cellar first to ensure there were no hidden mechanisms or dangers. Only then did he say to Gu Jiao, "Come in."
Gu Jiao entered the room and closed the door behind her.
The Wine Cellar had no windows, and as soon as the door was shut, the room was so dark that one couldn't see their own hand in front of their face.
Gu Chengfeng took out a match, struck it to life, and knelt on the cold ground in front of the old marquis, reaching out to support him.
"Hold on."
This time, it was Gu Jiao who stopped Gu Chengfeng's hand.
