Underground Institute.

As the name suggests, it is a "research institute" hiding underground... but Central City is a suspended city, with a large number of buildings suspended in the sky. If you want to directly access the "underground", you need to take the exclusive "secret ladder in the center of the earth".

The airship stopped in a suspended building.

After Gu Shen and Fisher verified their identity, they entered the secret ladder on the top floor... Although they didn't feel any shock inside, Gu Shen released his "spirit" and watched the rapid fall of the secret ladder from the outside!

"I'm the first time I saw this thing?" Fisher said with a smile.

"Yes, Beizhou's technology... can always surprise people." Gu Shen said seriously: "The 'secret ladder' nearly a thousand meters leads directly to the underground... This is not a simple project."

Fisher's response was quite interesting: "Compared with Her Majesty's 'melting pot', these are nothing."

"certainly……"

Gu Shen had no choice but to say: "That's a real 'miracle'!"

...

...

The feast of the Underground Institute tonight is quite particular.

After all, all the people present were famous figures in Beizhou... and this invitation was nominally held in the form of a "dinner".

After arriving at the place, all the officials and generals sat down in sequence under the guidance of the waiter.

"Teacher, he's here."

In the crowd, Li Bing saw the figure he had been waiting for for a long time at a glance. He quickly brought the wine glass to the side of Grand Duke Yingchen and leaned over and whispered.

The four great masters of Beizhou.

Cast snow, inlaid dust, suppress the moon, and forge the sun.

To be precise, there are only three great dukes left now... The obituary issued by Guangming City not long ago was equivalent to announcing that the hereditary title of "Zhenyue" in Beizhou was cut off.

"Um."

Grand Duke Xiangchen responded softly.

He is old and looks rosy because of his pampering habits. It’s a pity that time is not forgiving others. No matter how you take care of it, a touch of white hair has emerged in his temples.

"The invitation you sent three days ago?" Xiangchen asked softly.

"Yes. I wrote that letter very seriously, with a total of more than a thousand words." Li Bing smiled bitterly and said frankly: "I just heard that Mr. Gu found a place to go to Central City when he returned to Central City, and I don't know if he had read it..."

Xiangchen shook his head and said, "Do you know, how many people want to invite him to see him?"

Li Bing sighed.

How could he not know?

"It's not that Mr. Xiao Gu is rude, but that there are too many letters and invitations. Even if you see it, where can I reply?"

Xiangchen gently preached: "Think about it, what should others do if they agreed to you so easily? What's the difficulty of writing a letter, more than a thousand words?"

Li Bing nodded quickly.

He said helplessly: "Actually, the student has no choice. He really wants to meet Mr. Xiao Gu, so in the letter... he also mentioned your name a little."

Xiangchen smiled and said, "You are not stupid... You know how to move out of your backer."

Li Bing touched his nose.

"It's just... this Mr. Gu is from Dongzhou."

Grand Duke Xiangchen said slowly: "My name is useless outside of Beizhou. But if you want to see me, why is it so complicated? You... let me follow me."

...

...

Above the dinner.

Fisher had a complicated expression. He raised his hands and carefully protected his "fish tank" and squeezed through the crowded "crowd". It was obvious that the crowd was not aimed at him.

But the one behind him.

Fisher sat down in his seat and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why is Xiao Gu so 'popular'?" He looked at the crowd behind him like a ghost.

Nakahara, who was adjacent to Fisher, raised his glass slowly and shook slowly. Looking at the good show over there, "It's very simple... he is a powerful 'outsider'."

"I can understand outsiders, what does it mean to be strong?"

Fisher had long guessed that Gu Shen would be stopped by many interested people when he entered the venue.

But he didn't expect it.

Not to stop...but to encircle.

"The Huaqi Group has close cooperation and connections with the four continents." Zhongyuan said calmly: "Mrs. Lu of Dadu is now the absolute controller of the group. After the conflict of the concept of the bill two years ago, the relationship between many families in Beizhou and Huaqi has become subtle... At this time, there is a need for a 'buffer'."

Fisher suddenly realized that he knew that Gu Shen and Mrs. Lu had a very good relationship. Hua Chao had publicly stated that he would fully support Gu Shen's growth... It was this support that made this S-level man famous and gained a foothold after entering Nagano.

"This is just a 'card' behind Gu Shen."

Zhongyuan looked at the young man surrounded by the crowd and said meaningfully: "The Gu family, the Bai family, the newly promoted God of Fighting War, the successor of divination, the Qingzhong Cemetery formation pattern master... Every card this kid holds is worthy of good dealings with him by the big families in Beizhou. And saying hello and giving invitations is the cheapest way, right?"

The nobles of Beizhou, the Investigative Legion, and other legions, followed two sets of rules.

Their battlefield is not outside the Great Wall, but between hanging buildings and buildings.

The queen held up the Central City, some people fought bloody battles, some people buried their heads underground, and some people used vulgar things to weave a big net that enveloped the world... The composition of any part of the world will no longer be perfect.

The "vulgar things" that top extraordinary people look down upon the most are just held by Gu Shen.

And it is a lot in hand.

"Well, I admit it's cheesy, but it's really useful."

Zhongyuan shrugged and said, "Frankly speaking, I came here tonight, except for seeing the travelers, I just wanted to see this good show... Don't look at Gu Shen being surrounded by Tuan, those guys who pretend to be enthusiastic have long seen the obituary of Guangming City. How many of them really want to be friends with Gu Shen?"

A very cold voice sounded faintly.

"Even if you want, you're not worthy."

Mu Wanqiu was chewing the steak in small mouthfuls. She was expressionless and focused on her own business. She didn't look up at the direction of the noisy crowd.

The people surrounding Gu Shen... were almost the group of people she hated the most in Beizhou.

"You are the cold-faced and ruthless [judge], with only swords and fire in your eyes."

Nakahara joked and said, "If Gu Shen was like you, then the old guys in Nagano would probably not be so happy."

After Mu Wanqiu finished the meal, she wiped her lips with a dining cloth and silently looked at the corner of the dinner. In that direction, she sensed an extremely dazzling breath and her expression became gloomy and her expression became gloomy.

Zhong's principle is to continue watching the fun by holding Fisher.

"Huh... Master Xiangchen has also gone?"

Most of the people who greet Gu Shen were ordinary powerful people in Beizhou. Most of them wanted to use Gu Shen to establish a good relationship with Hua Zhi’s Mrs. Lu.

Their purpose is simple and simple.

The "famous generals" who really have a very high status in Beizhou have not set off much... because they have met Gu Shen twice.

...

...

Gu Shen was rejecting these invitations one by one.

He has already handled these things very well.

It’s okay to be surrounded, just walk a while "slowly"... He was helpless and funny. Two years ago, he was a "mind" who couldn’t even receive invitations for a free dance party. Now he is so popular?

Suddenly, the crowd was noisy and gave way.

There is only one reason to give way.

That is, the person who comes is more noble than them.

Gu Shen raised his head and saw this tall and outstanding middle-aged man.

"Da Duke Inanchen?"

Gu Shen was quite surprised. Logically speaking... this grand duke shouldn't have appeared in this occasion.

Chu Ling's voice sounded in the sea of ​​spirit.

"He came for that student."

Gu Shen was slightly stunned, and then noticed the young man beside Xiangchen, who was obviously a little restrained, holding his sleeve.

"Libian."

Chu Ling called out the file and the letter he had written.

"Although this young man is a garrison in Dongning City, the file shows that he was born in Dongzhou and is like you. Li Bing was sent to Beizhou to study since he was a child, and was attracted by Grand Duke Xiangchen. Then he was sent to "Dongning City" bordering the tundra in the eastern part of the fortress. This time the entrustment period was completed and he returned to the Central City to report his life."

Gu Shen knew that among the four great dukes, except for Zhenyue fighting in the fortress and being famous for his force, the other three remained in the Central City.
To be continued...
