Three days later, Gu Chen returned to Tiandu and came to the headquarters of Jingtian Division in the inner city, where he met Qin Wu, the deputy commander of Jingtian Division.
Gu Chen originally thought that after taking over the Shenbing Pavilion and Qidanfang, the deputy commander of Jingtiansi would be smiling and in a good mood, but he did not expect that Qin Wu today looked cautious.
This made Gu Chen feel something unusual, as if something big had happened in Tiandu.
Gu Chen and Qin Wu had nothing to worry about. He asked bluntly: "Commander Qin, it seems like something happened to you, Commander Qin?"
Qin Wu's face was heavy and he said: "Three days ago, the new emperor wanted to canonize you as the thirteenth guardian envoy of Daxia in the court, but he was rejected by King Huai and his ministers."
When Gu Chen heard this, he raised his sword eyebrows. In fact, he didn't care about the guardian envoy or not, but he thought that King Huai led the ministers and refused to give Ji Yuan face, and the new emperor would definitely be very embarrassed in the Jinluan Palace.
According to Gu Chen's understanding, King Huai has a gentle personality. In the past, when the new emperor was still the prince, he taught him how to handle state affairs. He would not do anything in the court. Instead, he would wait until the morning court was over and tell Ji Yuan what he did not do well. How to handle the matter.
This was the first time that King Huai opposed the new emperor in public.
"Is it because of me?" Gu Chen seemed to have thought of something and said.
Qin Wu nodded slowly and said in a deep voice: "He said that you are too young and energetic, and act without considering the consequences. Therefore, the matter of canonizing you as a guardian must be postponed for a later time."
When Gu Chen heard this, he nodded and didn't pay much attention.
However, at this moment Qin Wu said again: "Not only that, King Huai also came to me yesterday and told me that everything in Shenbing Pavilion and Qidanfang must not be touched, and must be returned to the six holy places intact."
"Um?"
Gu Chen frowned and said, "Why is this?"
Qin Wu said in a deep voice: "King Huai thinks that you have provoked the Six Holy Lands and will bring disaster to Great Xia. Therefore, he wants to restore the relationship between Great Xia and the Six Holy Lands, and he also wants you to tell the world and tell the Six Holy Lands. The Great Holy Land apologizes."
When Gu Chen heard this, he immediately smiled. His eyes were a little cold, and he said: "Why, the people from the Six Holy Lands want to kill me, but I can't resist, and they can't kill me even if they try to kill me?"
Qin Wu was also a little puzzled and said: "Prince Huai has been acting strangely recently, as if he has changed. Originally, since the new emperor ascended the throne, Prince Huai's words in the court have become quieter and quieter, but recently, for some reason, Huai's voice has become smaller and smaller. The king took the lead in the morning court, and the new emperor was so angry that he would get angry every day after the morning court, and he broke a lot of things during this period."
Gu Chen nodded. He could imagine Ji Yuan's predicament. After all, Prince Huai was the first prince of the Xia Dynasty. He was famous all over the world. He had a transcendent status in the court and was extremely powerful. He could not be surpassed.
Nowadays, even if Qin Wu didn't say anything, Gu Chen knew that more than 80% of the officials in the entire court were from Prince Huai, and would act based on Prince Huai's eyes.
"The reason why I came to you today is to tell you to be careful. If nothing happens, King Huai will definitely come to talk to you." Qin Wu warned Gu Chen that King Huai is not as good as before, so he must be careful in what he says and does, so as not to be caught by King Huai. handle.
Gu Chen nodded, indicating understanding, and then left the place.
As for the matter of Shenbing Pavilion and Qidanfang, Qin Wu did not agree to King Huai at first. After all, King Huai could not reach out to Jingtiansi.
As for Gu Chen, as soon as he left Jingtiansi and was about to return to Gu Mansion, he was stopped by someone.
"Marquis Wu'an, wait a moment, our prince has a request."
Gu Chen looked at this person, thought for a moment, nodded, and followed him to Prince Huai's Mansion.
This is also Gu Chen’s second time here.
When he first came to Prince Huai's Mansion, Gu Chen's cultivation was still very weak, but he only had the external aura realm and was not noticed by Prince Huai.
But now, only about a year has passed, and he has become a great master of martial arts in the Xiantian realm. He is famous all over the world and has few opponents.
Prince Huai's Mansion is still as it was when Gu Chen saw it for the first time. It is dotted with blue glazed tiles everywhere, and is full of palaces, pavilions, rockery pavilions and courtyards, carved beams and painted buildings, and cornices and cliffs.
"Please, Marquis Wu'an."
At this time, Mr. Gongsun, the personal bodyguard of King Huai and the great master of Xiantian martial arts, personally stood outside the mansion to greet Gu Chen.
This kind of treatment is much better than when Gu Chen came to Prince Huai's Mansion for the first time.
I still remember that when Gu Chen came to Prince Huai's Mansion, he was secretly frightened when he saw the two guards at the gate of the Prince's Mansion. But now, he was in a calm mood. Knowing that Prince Huai had no good intentions with him, he still walked in calmly.
In a large hall inside the palace, Gu Chen saw King Huai wearing a bright yellow rolling dragon robe, sitting at the top.
This meeting was different from the last time.
This was the first time Gu Chen met Prince Huai. The first prince of Daxia was restrained and extremely gentle. But this time when they met, Gu Chen felt an extraordinary momentum from Prince Huai, and,
Prince Huai's eyes also changed a lot.
At this moment, King Huai was like a king looking down on the world, sitting upright, waiting for Gu Chen to see him.
At this time, the Tianzhong hidden in Gu Chen's body actually trembled slightly. Gu Chen noticed a trace of extraordinary energy in Prince Huai's body. With the help of Tianzhong, Gu Chen actually felt a sense of crisis.
Gu Chen's heart trembled. King Huai was an ordinary person who was not familiar with martial arts, and his health was particularly bad. How could Gu Chen, a great master of martial arts in the Xiantian realm, feel in danger? This is very strange!
At this time, King Huai, who was sitting at the top, saw Gu Chen. He only said one word: "Sit."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gu Chen nodded and sat down without being polite.
"Get back." Prince Huai looked at Mr. Gongsun.
"Yes." Mr. Gongsun nodded, bowed his body and went down.
"I wonder why the prince came to me this time?" Gu Chen looked at Prince Huai and got straight to the point.
Prince Huai stared at Gu Chen and said, "Do you know that you have caused a huge disaster?"
When Gu Chen heard this, he shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know."
"Are you pretending to be stupid with me?" Prince Huai's aura was calm, calm and intimidating. There was a faint pressure emanating from him, full of oppression.
However, Gu Chen's current level of cultivation, having experienced many battles, and tempered his character in various ways, did not weaken him because of the aura of King Huai, and he still looked calm.
"Your Majesty, I really don't know."
Although Gu Chen kept claiming that he was the prince, his words were different from when they first met, and there was no trace of respect.
Obviously, King Huai's behavior made Gu Chen feel dissatisfied.
King Huai snorted: "You know how to rely on favors and become arrogant, or are you taking credit for yourself and being arrogant?"
Gu Chen said calmly: "If the prince comes to me just to talk about these things, then I have something else to do, so I will leave first."
With that said, Gu Chen was about to stand up.
"Sit down! Do I allow you to leave?" Seeing this scene, King Huai's voice suddenly rose, and the atmosphere in the hall immediately became tense.
Gu Chen frowned. He felt that there was indeed a flash of Qi on King Huai's body. Although it was extremely hidden, he had the Heaven Seed in his body and his perception was far superior to other great masters of the Xiantian Realm martial arts.
"What does the prince want?" Gu Chen turned around and looked directly at Prince Huai.
"You have provoked the Six Holy Lands, and you are close to death. Only this king can save you." Prince Huai sat upright, looking down at Gu Chen with a pair of indifferent eyes.
Prince Huai has really changed. Gu Chen sighed secretly in his heart and said, "Your Majesty, do you want me to surrender to you?"
"That's right." King Huai nodded and said: "Don't think that the Six Holy Lands have no time to deal with you now. There are powerful people in the Holy Lands emerging one after another. What you see is just the tip of the iceberg. If you provoke them, you will also bring trouble to Daxia.
Once the Six Holy Lands and Liuhe Divine Sect jointly attack Daxia, do you think Daxia can resist it now?"
Gu Chen looked calm and said: "Then according to the prince's wishes, if they want to kill me, I have to wait for death?"
Prince Huai said: "There are many ways to deal with things, but you just chose the strongest one. Haven't you heard of the saying, "It's easy to break something if it's too strong?"
Hearing this, Gu Chen smiled faintly and said, "Tolerance and retreat will only make your enemies press forward step by step. Only by showing your sword and making them afraid with your unstoppable momentum will they know what fear is."
"That's nonsense." King Huai shook his head, obviously not agreeing with Gu Chen's point of view. He said: "Don't think that what the supervisor said is definitely right. If he could really see the general trend of the world and control everything, how could Jiuzhou be like this?
How could Xia be like this?"
"Your Majesty, you mean you can?" Gu Chen looked at Prince Huai.
King Huai looked cold and said: "Only this king can save you. If the Six Holy Lands want to kill you, you will definitely die!"
Gu Chen shook his head and said: "I have let the prince down. Gu Chen will not surrender to anyone."
After saying this, Gu Chen turned around and left.
"Gu Chen, I admit that the twenty-two-year-old is very talented, but don't mistake yourself. You don't know anything about the Six Holy Lands or this world, and the supervisor can't tell you too much. Do you think
What do the Six Holy Lands rely on to suppress the world? Do you know what they are doing now?"
King Huai asked questions one after another, making Gu Chen stop in his tracks. He successfully aroused Gu Chen's curiosity.
Seeing Gu Chen stop, King Huai said again: "Do you know the truth about Jiuzhou? This is just a small place! Don't you yearn for a broader sky? If you have ideas, then surrender to me. Only I can help you!
"
"Kiuzhou is just a corner of the country?" Hearing this, Gu Chen's heart trembled. He didn't expect that King Huai knew so much.
"Then according to the wishes of the prince, after I surrender, should I apologize to the six holy places and kill them at the first glance?" Gu Chen said.
King Huai shook his head. He was very confident and said: "Don't worry, as long as you truly surrender to me, I will promise to save your life. And the apology is just a temporary forbearance. When the time is right, I will promise you that you will lose all your money."
I will help you get everything back!"
"Why is the prince so confident?" Gu Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at Prince Huai.
King Huai smiled faintly and said: "I never do anything that I am not sure about. You are a talent. Everyone knows that I love talents and cherish them. Not everyone can be seen by me. To recruit you with such sincerity, you
You should know what to do."
Gu Chen shook his head and said: "Unfortunately, I still say that I will not surrender to anyone. I can only regret the prince's good intentions."
"Gu Chen, you have to go against me, think about your family in Tiandu!" At this moment, after being rejected by Gu Chen twice, King Huai's momentum suddenly became stronger, and the temperature in the hall dropped sharply.
"Your Highness, are you threatening me?" Gu Chenhuo turned around, his eyes were blazing, and he looked at Prince Huai without showing any weakness. At this moment, the two of them were in tit-for-tat confrontation, and the atmosphere in the hall immediately became tense.
