Xiangzhou, Luozhou City.

Shen Chang walked with a group of disciples in the village outside Luozhou City, watching a group of strange men walk into the village, and the people in the village became vigilant.

If you look closely, you will find that the people in this village are not ordinary people, these people have fierce eyes and nervous and serious expressions.

Walking into the village, a group of people suddenly poured out, surrounding Shen Chang and others in the village, and the disciples of the North Tomb Gate next to him walked forward, protecting Shen Chang, Shen Chang pushed away the disciples next to him, and arched his hand at the people around him, "I am Shen Chang, the master of the North Tomb Gate, I want to see your boss, please give me a word." ”

The man in the lead bowed slightly, then turned to leave.

After a while, the man returned, and said with his head bowed, "Master Shen, please." ”

Shen Chang nodded and followed the man forward, and the disciples behind him saw this and wanted to follow, but the people next to him didn't let them at all, and after Shen Chang passed, they directly blocked the middle of the road.

"The ...... of the Doorman"

Shen Chang frowned slightly, and the man next to him said loudly: "Our boss only sees the master of the Shen Sect alone, and the others will wait for a while." ”

"You wait here, I'll come when I go." Shen Chang said coldly, following behind the man, after turning around, he finally came to the center of the village, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw a group of men in black-clothed fish-patterned shirts with steel knives pinned to their waists, standing solemnly in the courtyard.

"Lord Qiyu, Lord Shen has arrived." The man fell to his knees and shouted.

"Squeak." With a bang, the door opened, and an old voice came from inside, "Master Shen, please come in." ”

Shen Chang frowned and walked forward, this room looked ordinary on the outside, but inside it was resplendent with high-quality nanmu furniture, pear blossom wood tables and chairs, incense candle screens, lampstand cases are everything, and the air is filled with the fragrance of sandalwood.

Next to the desk, an old man was lying on a soft couch, playing with a silver steel needle in his hand, and next to him, two little girls in the prime of cardamom were curled up together, trembling with fear, and on their bare arms, the bruises were visible to the naked eye.

Shen Chang frowned slightly, bowed his hand and said, "Shen Chang has seen Mr. Lu. ”

The old man, known as Mr. Lu, got up slowly, his eyebrows were full of gloomy anger, "Master Shen, is there something wrong with this dragger?" ”

Shen Chang coughed embarrassedly, "Sir, Sushan Palace has attacked us, Zhang Kuai's old thing took advantage of our unpreparedness and led the disciples in the door to attack my North Tomb Gate, we suffered heavy casualties, if you don't go fast, I'm afraid you won't be able to see me." ”

"There is no "Qianyuan Jue" in Sushan Palace, how did the old man teach you at the beginning, you are not the opponent of Sushan Palace, you must outwit, outwit it......" The old man shook his head helplessly, and slammed the silver needle in his hand into the desk next to him, so frightened that the two girls next to him couldn't help but shout.

The old man turned around and looked at the two little girls, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, "Don't be afraid, come here." ”

The woman's eyes were already red from crying, although she was afraid, but she had to go over, trembling and crawling to the old man's side, the old man hugged the little girl, and walked around the little girl with both hands, as if she couldn't see Shen Chang in front of her.

"This time it was my negligence, this time I came here to implore you to take action and completely destroy Sushan Palace, as long as you and I join forces, Zhang Kui is not an opponent at all." Shen Chang said excitedly.

The old man's eyes instantly became gloomy, and a true qi overwhelmingly pressed towards Shen Chang, "If the old man can make a move, can you still live until now?" ”

Hearing this blatant threat, Shen Chang didn't have a temper at all, and he still remembered the beating that the old man gave him when he found him......

"But don't worry, I know the situation in Sushan Palace." The old man muttered while looking at the woman next to him, "You find a place to continue to accumulate strength now, and when the time is right, I will give you a chance to take revenge." ”

"Then let Sushan Palace ignore it now?" Shen Chang said puzzled.

"Hmph." The old man snorted coldly, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask......

Listening to the old man's words, Shen Chang didn't dare to say more, and arched his hand in a sneer, "Yes, I know." ”

"If you know, step down." Old man Lu waved his hand and said disdainfully.

Shen Chang nodded, retreated, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he heard the screams of the girl in the room and the unbridled laughter of the old man deer.

……

Xin'an City.

Although Qiushan has experienced the incident of the poisoner and the Sushan Palace, the city of Xin'an is peaceful, which is also thanks to Gu Chen's years of operation, making Xin'an one of the few big cities in Dafeng with a population of more than 500,000.

Yu Xining led Xiaobai to walk on the street, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "The last time I came to Xin'an City, I was a child, and Xin'an City at that time was very lively, and I don't know how much more lively it was than Lindao City. ”

"Xin'an is indeed prosperous, Xi Ning, do you remember the way to the state pastor's mansion." Ning Xiaochuan said slowly.

Yu Xining thought for a moment and nodded, "You should remember, but are you going to find Uncle Gu now?" Not in town for a while? ”

Han Zhan next to him shook his head helplessly, "Miss Yu, have you forgotten about Qingzhou......

"It's Xin'an here, is it possible that they still dare to do it under Uncle Gu's nose." Yu Xining pouted and said.

Ning Xiaochuan looked at Yu Xining speechlessly, "Miss Nie and Grandpa Kong don't have a second life for us to toss, let's go, go to Master Gu first, and when it's sure to be safe, it's not too late to play." ”

Yu Xining pouted and followed behind Ning Xiaochuan, "I know, I'll take you to Uncle Gu now." ”

……

With Yu Xining leading the way, Ning Xiaochuan and his party soon came to Gu Chen's mansion, and it was Qian Sheng who came to entertain them.

"Hahaha, Ning Gongzi and Miss Yu came to visit, and they lost their welcome here, so I apologize to the two of them here." Qian Sheng walked over with a smiling face and said with his hand.

Ning Xiaochuan bowed slightly, "You're polite." ”

"Qian Sheng, the head of Xiaxiang Prefecture, is here to welcome your arrival." Qian Sheng said again.

"Mr. Qian, you're polite." Yu Xining replied.

"A few people are please, Master Gu is in the mansion, please come with me." Qian Sheng said very politely.

Because Nie Hongyi and Kong Zhenxuan's injuries had not fully recovered, Qian Sheng ordered his subordinates to take them down to rest, while Ning Xiaochuan and the others went to the main hall to meet Gu Chen.

"Master Gu, Master Ning and Miss Yu are here."

As Qian Sheng's voice ended, Gu Chen slowly appeared in front of everyone.

I saw Gu Chen wearing a coarse linen dress, with a towel hanging around his neck, and his forehead was full of sweat, when he saw Ning Xiaochuan and others coming in, he said twice, tore off the towel and wiped his hands, and said with a smile, "Ning Gongzi, you have traveled thousands of miles, and you have worked hard all the way." ”

"Uncle Gu." Yu Xining looked at Gu Chen, ran over with a smile, and grabbed Gu Chen's arm, very enthusiastic.

Ning Xiaochuan looked at Gu Chen and smiled awkwardly, to be honest, he couldn't believe that this old man who looked no different from an old farmer in the countryside would be Xiangzhou Mu.

But looking at Yu Xining's appearance, the person in front of him was Xiangzhou Mu Gu Chen, and then bowed, "Senior Ning Xiaochuan, meet Lord Zhou Mu." ”

"Hahaha, Ning Gongzi is polite." Gu Chen said with a smile, looked at Yu Xining, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "Xi Ning, I really didn't expect that the little girl back then, after so many years, would grow into a big girl." ”

"No, I haven't seen you for so many years, and you're still so young." Yu Xining said with her tongue out.

Gu Chen laughed after hearing this, "Little girl, her mouth is still so sweet, much better than your father's old guy, come on, come on, don't stand still, please take a seat." ”

Yu Xining and Gu Chen exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Ning Xiaochuan, Han Zhan and the others next to them looked at each other.

Since Ning Xiaochuan left Yindu, he has also dealt with Luzhou Mu and Qingzhou Mu, to be honest, this is the first time I have seen such an easy-going State Mu, not to mention coarse cloth clothes, and there is no bit of a state pastor in his speech and demeanor.

"Ning Gongzi, you came to Xiangzhou this time, do you have something important?" After the greetings, the chat got to business.

Ning Xiaochuan bowed his hand slightly, "I don't know what Lord Zhou Mu thinks about the current situation in Dafeng?" ”

After saying this, the atmosphere changed slightly, Gu Chen's face became a little serious, and then said, "Talking about state affairs in vain, but it's a big crime, Ning Gongzi, you don't know this." ”

"Of course the little nephew knows, but what I said today is just a matter of facts." Ning Xiaochuan said.

Gu Chen got up and said with a smile, "This Dafeng has eighteen states, and I, Gu Chen, am just a small Xiangzhou pastor, and I can still have some say in the affairs of Xiangzhou, but if I want to elaborate on the situation of other state capitals, it will be a little inappropriate. ”

Listening to Gu Chen's words, Ning Xiaochuan also nodded, it seems that what Yu Baijie said is right, Gu Chen is not ordinary cautious.

"Lord Gu, the so-called rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, Dafeng seems to be peaceful, the country and the people are safe, but these are all superficial articles, and the real Dafeng is already in danger."

"Bang."

Gu Chen got up abruptly and slapped his palm on the table next to him, "Young Master Ning, these words can't be said nonsense, it's also a big crime to bewitch the people." ”

"Lord Gu, these words are not the opinion of the little nephew alone, and Lord Yu also feels the same way." Ning Xiaochuan arched his hand and said.

Gu Chen looked at Qian Sheng, Qian Sheng nodded knowingly, walked out of the room, closed the door, and looked at Yu Xining, "Yu Baijie asked you to come, he asked you to be lobbyists, huh?" ”

Yu Xining touched the back of her head in embarrassment, "Uncle Gu, my father didn't mean that. ”

"Hahaha." Gu Chen laughed loudly, "Yu Baijie, this old guy, he has been in Qingzhou for a long time, far away from the Central Plains, but he doesn't know that the current situation is not as simple as he thought." ”
