Chapter 1582: The Birthday Banquet of Lord Zhuojian
When Gu Chen saw Chu Meixin again, he felt like his eyes lit up.
When Sanqian Xiaotiandi first met her, although Chu Meixin was already a rare beauty, in order to keep a low profile at that time, her makeup and clothes actually covered up her beauty.
Today, as the envoy sent by Jianjun, she is the granddaughter of the famous Clumsy Sword Lord. She is wearing a colorful palace dress with dark flowers and brocade, which perfectly complements her thin figure, and her exquisite makeup makes her original graceful temperament even better.
In the middle, it is a bit more dignified and noble.
In the past, she was a chivalrous girl who traveled around the world carrying a sword box, but today, she is a genuine little princess of Sword County.
Her beauty was so outstanding that even a group of fierce male monks from Ba County couldn't help but speak softly when they entertained her.
"Miss Chu, long time no see."
Gu Chen strode from the distant starry sky, followed by Feng Yaya and Wuming.
Chu Meixin was standing next to her Qingluan chariot, waiting for Gu Chen for a while. When she saw him from a distance, a touch of joy could not help but appear in her beautiful eyes.
Gu Chen quickly came closer. Chu Meixin bowed slightly and said with a sweet smile: "My little lady has met Gu Daojun."
When Gu Chen heard this title, he immediately laughed out loud, shook his head and said, "Miss Chu, please stop teasing me. You and I are friends. We should call you what we called you now."
"Gu Daojun is older than Mei Xin, so Mei Xin will call you Brother Gu, is that okay?" Chu Meixin pursed her lips slightly and thought for a moment before saying.
Gu Chen was slightly surprised that Chu Meixin always called him Mr. Gu.
However, he didn't care how he was called. He nodded with a smile and said hello to Granny Shu next to Chu Meixin.
Granny Shu seemed a bit reserved when greeting Gu Chen. She never expected that when she saw this boy again, he would already be on the same level as Lord Choujian.
The three-day separation was a surprise, but the impact of this change was too great...
Feng Yaya followed Gu Chen and her ears turned red when she caught a glimpse of Chu Meixin calling Gu Chen Brother Gu. She muttered in a low voice, "This is too obvious."
The border of Lin County was empty and desolate, and there was no suitable place to entertain guests, so Gu Chen took Chu Meixin and Granny Shu on Ba County's spaceship to gather alone, while Jian County's followers were accommodated by others.
After sitting down on the spaceship, Gu Chen personally made tea for Chu Meixin and Granny Shu.
"Jian County is very far away from here. Miss Chu and Granny Shu are here to visit. I guess they have something to do, right?" After drinking tea, Gu Chen asked about the purpose of his visit.
"Brother Gu, my grandfather's birthday will be in seven months. When I come to Bajun this time, Mei Xin is here to send an invitation."
"Brother Gu has helped Mei Xin a lot in the longevity world. My grandfather has long wanted to meet her and hopes that Brother Gu can come."
Chu Meixin expressed her intention to come, and then she looked expectant.
The Bajun monks present were a little surprised when they heard this, and some simply frowned.
Chu Meixin’s grandfather was the Clumsy Sword Taoist Lord, and the ambush in the outside world more than a year ago was rumored to be the common intention of the Taoist Lords of hundreds of counties!
This Clumsy Sword Dao Lord is also a member of the Hundred County Dao Lords, and he has higher seniority and strength. If he celebrates his birthday and invites the leader, it won't be another Hongmen Banquet, right?
At that moment, the atmosphere in the cabin became somewhat silent and depressing, and Gu Chen's face also showed a look of thought.
"It's a long way from Jian County to Lin County. Miss Chu came to deliver the invitation in person. The time spent on the road must be at least seven or eight months, right?" Gu Chen did not answer directly, but asked.
"There was a little delay on the road. It actually took ten months." Chu Meixin answered truthfully.
When Gu Chen heard this, he thought about it for a while.
It took ten months on the road, which meant that Lord Clumsy Sword sent the invitation not long after Ba County swallowed up the land of three counties.
This time point was too sensitive, and since Jianjun was so far away from him, Zhuojianjun did not choose any other method, but asked his granddaughter to deliver the letter in person, which was even more profound.
There are only seven months left before Zhuo Jianjun's birthday. He invited him so hastily, which further shows that inviting him to this birthday banquet was a last-minute decision.
Gu Chen quickly sorted out his thoughts. I'm afraid that Master Zhuojian invited him not just to repay his granddaughter's life-saving grace, nor just to befriend him. There was another purpose behind it!
"Miss Chu, you don't say secret words in front of others. You and I are friends who have lived and died together. If you have some questions, I'll just ask them directly."
Gu Chen thought for a while and got straight to the point.
When he was in the longevity world, he and Chu Meixin shared the same hardships and there was trust between them. She came to visit in person, and he didn't want to be in vain.
"Brother Gu, if you have anything to say, just say it. Mei Xin knows everything," Chu Meixin said seriously.
"Well, I want to know what your grandfather's real intention is in inviting me?"
Chu Meixin was not surprised by Gu Chen's question and answered immediately. "Brother Gu, to be honest, not only have you been invited to grandpa's birthday this time, but other Dao Lords in the Chaos Sea have also been invited at the same time. Grandpa invited you.
I mean, I hope to be a peacemaker and eliminate the previous misunderstandings between you and the Dao Lords."
"Misunderstanding? Huh, is it just a misunderstanding? If we were not careful, the leader and we would have died long ago in the outer world!"
The leader of the Tunkun tribe present blurted out, quite dissatisfied.
"The ambush against Ba County in the outside world has nothing to do with our Jian County. I hope you can understand this."
When Granny Shu heard this, she immediately explained to Chu Meixin that she was afraid that she would be wronged.
Chu Meixin waved her hand to stop her from quarreling with the Bajun people, but her smile remained unchanged.
"The previous action against Ba County was organized and proposed by Kuangdao Lord. In fact, my grandfather did not participate in it. It was precisely because of the previous incident that Brother Gu might not be able to trust him, so my grandfather sent me here."
"I am Lord Zhuojian's most beloved granddaughter. If everyone in Ruoba County cannot believe me, you can kill me at any time."
Chu Meixin sat upright, her tone was particularly calm, and she did not show any stage fright in the face of the fierce Bajun monks, showing her demeanor like a queen.
Her words made the Tunkun clan leader dumbfounded for a moment, and also made everyone realize the sincerity of Lord Clumsy Sword.
Seeing that no one had any objections, Chu Meixin began to persuade Gu Chen seriously.
"Brother Gu, Mei Xin knows that the previous events have caused conflicts between you and the Taoist Lords of various counties, but given the current situation, it is better to resolve enemies than to end them."
"One more enemy is not as good as one more friend. In fact, the hostility of the counties towards Bajun is not that great. My grandfather hopes to be the middleman to reconcile you with the Dao Lords. In this way, the common people in Bajun can live and work in peace and contentment.
"
"This is an opportunity for Bajun, an opportunity for peaceful coexistence with Baijun."
