Chapter 543 Things unfold in unpredictable ways Ⅲ

　　He Dongcheng had just stepped into the world of martial arts and adventure,when he took a major fall. He had no idea how treacherous people could be.　　When he came to again, he found himself tied to a wooden post. Looking around, he realized he was in a dimly lit cave, with a few torches flickering. In front of him, two men were counting the contents of a bag.　　Yue Liang grinned, "Seventeen gold coins, twenty silver coins, and seven copper coins. Not bad for a rich young master. That'll keep us gambling for a while."　　Zheng Qiang also chuckled, "Told you there were thieves about, young master. Look at you now, getting taken for a ride."　　"But you drank the wine too."　　"That water flask was a trick flask, and the drug was called Soul-Bewitching Powder."　　"Okay, I've learned something new. I really have."　　"Now, spill the beans. Where's your home in Muyang Town? What kind of business does your family run? We'll send a letter to your place and demand a ransom."　　He Dongcheng could tell them anything, except about his family. He couldn't bear the shame. His father was a city lord, after all. If news got out that he'd fallen for a trap on his very first day out in the world, his parents would be disgraced, his aunt would scold him mercilessly, and his older brother and cousin would laugh themselves silly
