"Since there is hope of finding clues about your father, you can go ahead and don't worry about mother. Men have ambitions everywhere, so do you have to worry about mother wherever you go?"
Shen Yushu always has a temperament that has been cultivated and cultivated in world affairs, and he can convince Gu Chen with just a few words.
"I understand, kid, but what are you going to do, mother?" Gu Chen was worried.
"I have stayed in the Shen Mansion for the past year and read countless poetry and classics. The ancients said that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. Next, my mother plans to take Xiaoqiu to travel around the world."
Shen Yushu smiled.
"Isn't that too dangerous?"
Gu Chen frowned. If he were at Huangfu's house in the imperial capital, he wouldn't dare to do anything blatantly, but it would be different outside.
You must know that the Huangfu family did not take action against their mother in the past because they needed the Shen family, but now that they have suffered such a big loss at their own hands, I am afraid they will not worry so much.
"Don't worry, mother, she doesn't have any means of protection."
Shen Yushu was calm and collected.
Gu Chen had great doubts about this and wanted to say more, but Shen Yushu had already made up his mind and did not allow him to interfere at all.
Only sons have always listened to their mother, not to mention that in his family, her mother has always had the most say.
"Well, I can promise my mother, but my mother must promise me one thing."
Gu Chen thought for a moment and took off a necklace with a bead on it from his chest.
This bead is called the Life-Changing Bead, and it was a magic weapon given to him by the Emperor of Heaven when he destroyed all the gangs in Qingzhou, the Palace of the Underworld.
This magic weapon is a one-time use and can be of great use at critical moments, which is equivalent to an extra life.
This treasure will never be rewarded by the Emperor of Heaven for more than ten people in the entire heaven, so it is considered very valuable.
Gu Chen gave this treasure to his mother and asked her to carry it with her so that he could feel at ease.
Gu Chen stated his request, and Shen Yushu readily agreed.
After leaving his mother's place, Gu Chen summoned a heavenly killer and asked him to go to Gongdefang to issue a mission.
He decided to spend a lot of money to hire one or two golden killers to secretly protect his mother and Xiaoqiu. Only in this way could he feel completely at ease.
The value of a golden killer is so great. It would definitely be expensive to act as a bodyguard, but for the safety of his mother, Gu Chen didn't care.
The efficiency of this task was surprisingly high. Gu Chen had just arranged for someone to announce it. He thought it would take a lot of time, but unexpectedly someone took the initiative to take the task within an hour.
"Gu Daozi, leave this task to me. I will protect your mother's safety to the death."
The applicant was Yang Zhen. These days, she had come to the imperial capital with her brother to participate in missions. Seeing Gu Chen rising like a new star, she had already strengthened her determination to hug him.
When she heard about this mission, she volunteered almost without thinking.
You must know that she is Gu Daozi's mother, maybe the mother of the future Emperor of Heaven!
Gu Chen must be grateful to her for maintaining a good relationship with her and protecting her safety.
In order to get Gu Chen's attention to her, this task can be done without any reward!
Gu Chen probably understood Yang Zhen's inner thoughts and agreed to her taking on this task.
Although this woman is somewhat utilitarian, she will be more dedicated in treating his mother because of her utilitarianism.
In addition, he knew her quite well, so it was more reassuring than finding an unfamiliar golden killer.
The mother's matter was resolved, and the biggest worry in Gu Chen's heart was removed.
There is only one person who needs to say goodbye.
…
In the royal palace and on the eaves of the princess's bedroom, the sky is filled with stars.
The night breeze blows gently, bringing with it the coolness of autumn.
"How long are you going to go?"
Ji Lanchu sat with Gu Chen and asked softly.
The night breeze lifted her hair, revealing her delicate and flawless profile.
Gu Chen didn't respond. He had always been wandering around, so how could he make it clear?
It is better not to give a promise that cannot be given.
Seeing that Gu Chen didn't speak, Ji Lanchu didn't ask any more questions and rested her head lightly on his generous shoulder.
The two of them were silent, their backs becoming one in the moonlight.
After a long time, the moon gradually disappeared, and the east became pale, and Gu Chen knew it was time to leave.
He came to the palace to see Ji Lanchu, originally wanting to explain, but he didn't expect that she didn't ask anything and seemed to already know everything.
In the eyes of outsiders, the two are now engaged, but Gu Chen has a big grudge and deliberately obscures the matter. However, she is also considerate and chooses to ignore the matter.
She was so calm and elegant, knowing both cold and hot. Gu Chen thought to himself that this might be the reason why he cared more about her than other women.
"It's time for me to go," Gu Chen said.
Ji Lanchu's head was finally willing to leave Gu Chen's shoulders, the two stood up, and she straightened his collar.
"I have something for you."
She said gently, taking out a pair of jade bracelets from her storage ring.
This jade bracelet is crystal clear in color. There is a tiny golden dragon swimming inside one, and a fairy phoenix flying inside the other. It is extremely strange.
"This dragon and phoenix heart bracelet was given to me by my imperial grandfather back then. It was originally a pair. He said that when I find someone I like in the future, I will give the dragon bracelet to him."
"With this bracelet, as long as we have each other in our hearts, we will never be separated no matter how far apart we are."
"I gave this jade bracelet to you. I hope you remember that Luoyang still has me."
Ji Lanchu blushed and put the dragon bracelet on Gu Chen herself.
This was equivalent to a token of love, Gu Chen understood.
This girl didn't say anything all night long, pretending to be generous, but she really wanted to leave, but she still couldn't bear to leave.
"I'll wear it everywhere."
Gu Chen promised.
"Um."
Ji Lanchu hummed softly, and then the morning sun rose in the east, and the first ray of sunlight shone on the two of them.
Hugging each other, warm and speechless.
Gu Chen finally left the prosperous imperial capital on a quiet morning and followed Huangfu De.
His stay in the imperial capital was extremely short, and was only a drop in the ocean in the long history of this capital. However, when he left, the tens of millions of people in Luoyang had already remembered the word "overlord".
Almost at the same time that Gu Chen left the imperial capital, the Jiang family in Yangzhou received an uninvited guest!
Huangfu Wuji wore the robe of Hades, transformed into the emperor of the dark world, and stepped into the Jiang Mansion.
And beside him, there were people in bamboo hats and many Tianming guards.
If anyone saw this scene here, they would definitely be extremely surprised, because everyone in the imperial capital thought that Huangfu Wuji was still in his mansion at this moment, very sad and depressed over the death of his grandson.
"Fellow Taoist Huangfu has come to visit us, and we welcome him from afar."
In the Jiang Mansion, Jiang Zishang, the leading prophet of the Ming family, was sitting in his seat. He seemed to have expected Huangfu Wuji to come and said calmly.
Huangfu Wuji crossed the threshold, glanced around, and said indifferently, "Where have everyone gone?"
"I know that a disaster is coming, so in order to avoid involving innocent people, I have dismissed everyone in my Jiang family in advance, so fellow Taoist Huangfu can rest assured, and I hope you can let them go in the future."
Huangfu Wuji snorted coldly, "The old prophet is indeed a wise man."
"I came here today to ask you something."
He came to Old Prophet Jiang and said.
"When the old prophet used the forbidden magical power of the astrological fortune-teller to change the fate of Qing Ming who was still in his mother's womb, he had a Taoist body as soon as he was born, and his luck was shrouded in it and he would flourish forever."
"I have always been grateful to you for this over the years."
"But why did Qing Ming's luck suddenly disappear during this martial arts competition? He died before he could strengthen my Huangfu family."
"This matter makes me heartbroken. I hope the old prophet can explain it clearly."
