The first thousand seven hundred and seventy-four chapters
When he separated from Ye Mi, it was already the time when the lanterns were on. Gu Chen did not go back to Tang Mansion directly. He followed the Infinity Tyrannosaurus Rex and walked around in Peidu.
As the capital of a country, Pedu has always been prosperous and even has the reputation of being the city that never sleeps.
However, in recent days, the streets have become deserted even before Hai Shi, many homes have their doors and windows closed, and there are more and more soldiers patrolling outside.
The sudden disappearance of Luo Men finally profoundly affected the situation in Pei State. Even if it was the first time for Gu Chenshang to come to Peidu, he could feel the changes in Peidu under this strange situation.
"Have you heard? In recent days, there has been a lot of movement from the Lan Kingdom on the border. It seems that there are signs of a large army gathering to invade our country, Pei!"
"Damn it! The Lan Kingdom has always been ambitious. Wasn't it enough to cede the three counties of Pei Kingdom to me thirty years ago?"
"The Lan Kingdom has always been greedy. If they had not formed an alliance with the Ze Kingdom to fight against the Ze Kingdom thirty years ago, they would have lost far more than the three counties. Now that the Luomen suddenly disappeared, there are rumors that the great prophet of the Luomen predicted the Pei Kingdom.
The fate of the country is about to end, so we are looking for another place for Luo Men. There are even rumors that Luo Men has defected to the Lan Kingdom, but I don’t know whether this is true or not?"
"Hey, haven't Luo Men and Pei King's royal family always been on the same page? Now that Luo Men has left, can it be said that our Pei Kingdom is really in danger of a disaster?"
In the restaurants that were still open and in the streets and alleys, Gu Chen could occasionally hear news about the current situation in Peiguo, some of which were "insider stories" that he himself had not known.
The Lan Kingdom and the Pei Kingdom are both one of the seven kingdoms under the Dasheng Dynasty, but they have always been evil neighbors.
The Lan State has a strong national power and the martial arts prevails, while the Pei State has a weak national power, but it is a famous granary, so it has always been coveted.
There were many wars in the history of the two kingdoms. Pei lost more and won less, and lost a lot of territory one after another.
Now that the first sect of the Pei Kingdom, the Luo Sect, has suddenly disappeared, the Lan Kingdom naturally feels that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it, and it is normal for it to cause quarrels and troubles.
Gu Chen knew the truth about Luo Men's disappearance. It was a helpless measure to fight against Fang Yuan. These rumors in the market were pure nonsense and extremely ridiculous.
However, the people of Pei State do not know the truth, and it is impossible for people in Luomen to stand up and tell the truth, so it gives opportunities for those who are interested to take advantage of it...
"The fate of the country is about to end. Luo Men has taken refuge in the Lan State. He has launched an attack with troops, and the most important thing is to attack the people. If the people of Pei State lose their hearts, and the Lan State sends troops to Pei State at this time, I am afraid that they will be victorious in every battle. In that case,
The King of Pei’s royal family is doomed.”
Gu Chen thought about it. The Great Prophet had asked him about the affairs of the King of Pei. He was not very interested in the life and death of the King of Pei, but he was very interested in the thing that the Great Prophet said the royal family owned.
"This Lan Kingdom is really bold and dares to use its strength to do anything. If Luomen really takes refuge in the Lan Kingdom, then the Lan Kingdom will be destroyed overnight."
Infinite Tyrannosaurus also heard the rumors among the people, guessed the possible originator of the rumors, and scoffed at them.
Gu Chen understood what it meant. Fang Yuan was now extremely powerful. If the Qiankun Society truly believed the rumors and thought that the missing Luo Men had defected to the Lan Kingdom, then the Qiankun Society would be so angry that no small kingdom could withstand it.
However, the fact that Fang Yuan covets Luo Sect's great prophecy skill is very secret, and the Lan country may not know anything about it, and they don't know that he has caused huge trouble.
"The master wants to use Luomen's disappearance to get close to the Qiankun Society, and now that a Lan country has come out to disrupt the situation, it may have an impact on the plan, right?" Wuji Tyrannosaurus asked Gu Chen tentatively.
"There are hundreds of dynasties in the Hongmeng Dao world, and the power of the sects and families is even more complex. If a small Lan country can influence the plan, then how can we ride the waves and fight against Fang Yuan?"
Gu Chen glanced at the Infinite Tyrannosaurus Rex and continued walking forward with his hands behind his back.
The Infinite Tyrannosaurus Rex understood what he meant, grinned with sharp teeth, and followed quickly.
By the time Gu Chen returned to Tang Mansion, it was already late at night.
As soon as I arrived at the small courtyard where I lived, a person suddenly appeared in the grass next to me.
"Brother Chen, you are finally back. I have been waiting for you for a long time!"
It was Tang Jianqing, whom he had not seen for several days. He held a jade box in his hand and stepped forward with bright eyes.
"What are you doing, Master Tang, squatting here?" Gu Chen asked calmly.
"I'm here to give you a gift, Brother Chen, on my father's orders. Who would have thought that Brother Chen would come back at this hour?" Tang Jianqing said with a wry smile, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.
After Gu Chen settled down in Tang Mansion, he actually wanted to come find him the next day and take him to get familiar with Peidu.
However, I don't know what his father was thinking. He ordered him not to get close to Gu Chen for the time being, so he could only keep his distance.
It was not until today that his father suddenly summoned him and inexplicably asked him to deliver a gift, and he was able to see Gu Chen again.
He didn't show up for a few days, and he didn't know if Gu Chen would be dissatisfied, so he was particularly worried.
He had witnessed Shao Heyang's death with his own eyes, and he had both a desire to win over Gu Chen and awe at the same time.
"Oh? Why did you give me a gift?" Gu Chen pretended not to know.
"It's a meeting gift for worshippers. My father said that when we hired Gu and Xu to serve as worshippers, our Tang family gave us heavy gifts. Brother Chen is the third worshiper from our Tang family, so the gift cannot be discarded." Tang Jianqing explained, holding his hands respectfully.
Hand over the jade box.
"I accepted the gift. I'm a little tired today, so I won't receive Master Tang."
Gu Chen accepted the jade box unceremoniously and went straight into the small courtyard without any intention of talking to Tang Jianqing.
"Then I'll take my leave." Tang Jianqing was slightly embarrassed, but he also breathed a sigh of relief and respectfully left.
In the past few days, people in the house had been complaining a lot about the new enshrinement. Although he knew that Gu Chen was very powerful, he did not have the right to speak, and his father would not let him speak in detail about some things.
When he waited until midnight today, he was a little worried that Gu Chen had left without saying goodbye, but luckily he came back.
He had already made it clear about his father's attitude towards this new worshiper by giving him gifts. No matter how stupid he was, he knew what this meant to him.
Enshrinement has a great influence on the family, and the third enshrinementer of the Tang family was invited by him and has the most familiar relationship with him, which means that his status in the Tang family has been improved.
Tang Jianqing left with peace of mind. After entering the small courtyard, Infinite Tyrannosaurus rex joked: "It seems that the Tang family leader finally recognized the master's enshrinement."
"I'm afraid it's more fear than recognition."
Gu Chen smiled and opened the jade box.
At the top of the box is a crystal ticket. With this crystal ticket, you can receive a full amount of Dao Crystals at any crystal bank under the Jiudaoting.
The face value of this crystal ticket is 50,000, which means that it can be exchanged for a full 50,000 crystals. Compared with the 1,000 crystals that Tang Xuan gave during the day, it is many times more generous.
Even for a prominent family like the Tang family, 50,000 Dao crystals are definitely a large sum of money, enough to affect the operation of the Tang family!
However, the crystal ticket was secondary. Gu Chen picked up the crystal ticket and found that there was another item in the box.
