Soon, the morning court ended, and Uncle Dingyuan and Uncle Wu Wei left dejectedly like bereft dogs.
As for the ministers and dignitaries who had just echoed the two men's remarks, each of them acted as if they did not know the two men and remained silent.
This is how the court is, everything is based on profit.
Before Qi Yu left, he also looked at Gu Chen deeply.
After walking out of the Jinluan Palace, Liang Guogong came to Gu Chen's side, and the two came together.
"I have met the Duke." Gu Chen bowed his hands and bowed.
Liangguo Highway said with a smile: "There is no need to be so open-minded."
Immediately, he looked at Gu Chen for a few times, his eyes lit up, and he said: "Good boy, I felt something was wrong just now in the court. Now that I see it, you have really reached the Vajra realm."
Gu Chen smiled and said, "It's only been two days since we broke through. Duke Liang has a good eye."
Liang Guogong said impatiently: "Have you ever achieved the breakthrough of pouring copper into iron?"
Gu Chen shook his head and said: "The entry is not that fast."
Hearing this, Duke Liang nodded and said, "I'm a little impatient. Even if you are born with martial arts, it's impossible for you to break through so quickly. You can step into bronze and iron as soon as you reach the Vajra realm."
Then, he patted Gu Chen's shoulder and said with a loud laugh: "Come to my house more often when you have time. You and Xinlan are of the same age, and she is also a martial arts idiot. There must be something between you two young people.
There are many topics that are easy to talk about. Xinlan is a girl after all. Although she didn’t say it, I can still tell that she has some thoughts about you, and I am very optimistic about you."
Hearing this, Gu Chen felt helpless, but he couldn't refuse Duke Liang's face, so he could only nodded.
Seeing this, Liang Guogong pretended to be unhappy and said with a sullen face: "What, my family Xinlan's family background and appearance are so bad that I am not worthy of your boy?"
"Of course not." Gu Chen shook his head quickly.
Liang Guogong had a pretty good expression and said: "You have to know that after you were made a viscount, you are now a powerful person in Daxia. You can actually resign from your position as Jingtiansi. After all, the world is in chaos now."
It has become clear that it is still too dangerous to stay in Jingtiansi all the time. With the status of Viscount, you can also join the corresponding circle and try to sneak into the court as soon as possible. There is no need to stay in Jingtiansi and wander around all day.
On the edge of life and death."
Hearing this, Gu Chen smiled slightly and said: "Gu Chen appreciates Duke Liang's kindness, but Commander Chen has shown great kindness to me. It is impossible for me to leave Jingtiansi. What's more, the world is in chaos and Jingtiansi
When I am eager to hire people, there is no reason for me to withdraw from it."
"good!"
Liang Guogong laughed loudly and said: "Good boy, I underestimate you. When I was young, I had the same ideas as you. As this person gets older, his courage becomes smaller, but I underestimate you."
Gu Chen said: "Mr. Liang Guo, your idea is also correct, but everyone has his own way to go."
As they walked, the two of them had already walked out of the imperial city. Duke Liang walked to his carriage, where his old servant was waiting.
"Okay, let's stop here. As I said, when you have some free time, come to the house to see Xinlan more often."
After saying this, Duke Liang got on the carriage. The old servant nodded to Gu Chen, then drove the carriage and left here.
Later, Gu Chen also returned to Gu Mansion.
In the morning, when Gu Chen was called away by the Ouchi guards, Gu Chengfeng's whole family saw it. Gu Chengfeng was even more anxious and did not go to report. He asked his colleagues to take a leave of absence and stayed at home.
After all, with Gu Chen's current reputation, Gu Chengfeng, as Gu Chen's uncle, still received considerable preferential treatment among the sword guards.
Asking for leave is nothing at all.
"Da Lang is back!" the concierge Zhang shouted loudly.
Immediately, everyone in the Gu family rushed out, fearing that something might happen to Gu Chen.
Seeing that Gu Chen was fine, Gu Chengfeng let out a breath and said, "Why did the prince and the prince ask you to come over?"
Seeing that Gu Chengfeng and his family were so worried about him, Gu Chen felt warm in his heart and told them what happened in the morning.
In fact, Gu Chen never said anything about Cao Zhen's death, just because he was afraid that Gu Chengfeng and the others would think too much about it.
As expected, after finishing speaking, they immediately exclaimed.
"Cao Zhen and the others are dead?!"
Gu Chengfeng looked shocked, looked at Gu Chen, and said: "Dalang, come with me, I have something to tell you."
Immediately, Gu Chengfeng pulled Gu Chen to the side. He looked solemn and said to Gu Chen: "Da Lang, tell the truth to my second uncle, did you kill Cao Zhen?"
Gu Chen saw that there was no one around. After all, Gu Chengfeng was his second uncle and had nothing to hide, so he nodded and admitted it very simply.
"During the mission, I heard that Cao Zhen and the others were going to deal with me. Once I died, they would start dealing with the Gu family. Therefore, I had no choice but to strike first." Gu Chen said.
Hearing this, Gu Chengfeng took a breath of air. He didn't expect that his nephew would be so courageous. It would be no exaggeration to say that he was extremely bold, and he actually dared to kill the heir of Daxia Xungui.
"Dalang, Cao Zhen is the heir of Pingxihou, and he is the only one!" Gu Chengfeng looked anxiously, looking at Gu Chen with worry, and said: "Pingxihou has such status, if this matter is later investigated by him,
If he comes out, he will definitely not give up. By then, you will be in danger!"
Gu Chen's face was calm and composed, and he said: "It doesn't matter, he won't do anything in a short time, that's enough."
As long as Gu Chen is given some time to settle in the Vajra Realm, then Gu Chen will have nothing to fear unless Marquis Ping Xi takes action himself or arrives with an army.
Since he dared to take action, he naturally considered Ping Xihou. What's more, Cao Zhen was bullying others too much and had murderous intentions towards him. It would be a disaster to keep him, so it was better to kill him directly.
As for Ping Xihou, as long as you don't do anything to him in a short period of time, it's fine.
But Gu Chengfeng still looked worried. He knew that Gu Chen did this mostly because of Gu Qingyan, and it was precisely because of Gu Qingyan that Cao Zhen hated Gu Chen.
"Second uncle, it's okay. Now that I have become a viscount, I am already at the same level as them. I am a noble of Daxia. If anyone wants to deal with us in the future, it will not be that easy." Gu Chen said with a smile, with a very serious expression.
easy.
For some reason, looking at Gu Chen with a smile on his face, Gu Chengfeng's heart gradually relaxed.
He chose to believe in Gu Chen. After all, Gu Chen had proven himself many times.
"Let's end this matter here. Second uncle, don't let Auntie and Qingyan delve into it further." Gu Chen said sternly to Gu Chengfeng.
Gu Chengfeng took a deep breath and looked solemn. He also understood that the more he knew, the more dangerous he was, and he nodded heavily.
Afterwards, the two brought Xu Qing'e and Gu Qingyan back to Gu Mansion and had a peaceful breakfast.
In order to wait for Gu Chen, they were so worried that they didn't even eat breakfast.
While having breakfast, Gu Chen said: "Second uncle, aunt, Qingyan, let's go to the inner city to buy a house."
As soon as he said this, Gu Chengfeng's family was stunned. Gu Qingyan's beautiful eyes flashed and she looked at Gu Chen in disbelief and said, "Brother, what did you say?"
Gu Chen smiled and said: "I said, after breakfast, let's go to the inner city to buy a property."
Gu Chen has always had the idea of buying a mansion in the inner city of Tiandu. Today, his second uncle Gu Chengfeng happened to be here, so the whole family went to the inner city to pick out a house.
After all, now that the demon sect has reappeared, the world is about to be in chaos. He may go on a mission when, and his return date has not yet been determined. It would be better to choose a day to choose a house in the inner city. Today is the day.
"Da Lang, are you serious?" Aunt Xu Qing'e looked at Gu Chen intently, with deep expectation on her beautiful face.
"Of course." Gu Chen nodded with a smile.
Gu Chengfeng frowned and said, "Dalang, do you know how expensive the housing prices in the inner city are? We can't afford it."
"I can afford it." Gu Chen chuckled.
"Brother, it won't work. I've done the math. Even if you add what the imperial court had previously rewarded you, it's still quite short." Gu Qingyan said softly from the side.
After all, after seeing the prosperity of the inner city, of course she also yearned for the inner city. However, because of what happened last time, she rarely went out on the streets.
However, after hearing Gu Chen say that Cao Zhen was dead today, Gu Qingyan's heart suddenly became much clearer and her mood improved a lot.
Seeing that his second uncle and his family didn't believe it, Gu Chen had a smile in his eyes. He took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket and put them on the table, which amounted to tens of thousands of taels.
Aunt Xu Qing'e immediately opened her mouth in an "O" shape and exclaimed: "Da Lang, where did you get so much money?"
Gu Qingyan's delicate and pretty face was also full of shock, and she said: "Brother, this...are you rich?"
Gu Chengfeng thought about it a lot, frowned and said: "Dalang, you didn't do anything harmful to nature, right?"
When Gu Chen heard this, he immediately said: "Second uncle, where are you thinking? Don't worry, the money comes from a legitimate source. I got it by luck from doing tasks."
"That's good." After hearing this, Gu Chengfeng nodded with peace of mind.
When they heard that they were going to the inner city, the servants of the Gu family were also very happy. They also benefited from it and could live in the inner city in the future.
Afterwards, after breakfast, Gu Chen took his second uncle and his family to the inner city, found a dental shop, and started choosing a house.
The people in Yaxing were very enthusiastic. After all, anyone who could buy a house in the inner city was either rich or noble. They couldn't afford to offend anyone. They introduced Gu Chen and his second uncle's family very enthusiastically.
Afterwards, after spending an afternoon choosing, they finally chose a place that suited their liking. Of course, the main reason why they spent an afternoon was that their aunt Xu Qing'e and sister Gu Qingyan were picky.
In the end, what they settled on was a three-bedroom house, which was about the same size as the current Gu Mansion in the outer city, but the price was very expensive because the location was very good.
But now Gu Chen is not short of the money, mainly because money has limited effect on him. After making the choice, seeing that no one had any objections, Gu Chen simply paid the money.
With the real money in hand, the people at Yahang became even more excited and told Gu Chen that they would be able to move in in a few days and they would pack up as quickly as possible.
Gu Chen nodded. After buying the house, he settled one thing in his mind.
…
Soon, time passed, the vacation given by Chen Yu ended, and Gu Chen and the others returned to Jingtiansi.
After Chen Yu saw Gu Chen, his eyes lit up, and it was obvious that he had reached the King Kong state.
"The speed of natural martial arts cultivation is really rapid!" Chen Yu made no secret of his admiration for Gu Chen.
Then, Chen Yu said: "Since you are already a warrior in the Vajra realm, from today on, you will be the first-level inspector of Jingtiansi."
When Gu Chen heard this, he immediately stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, sir."
Chen Yu smiled lightly and shook his head, saying: "Your success today has little to do with me. It all depends on your own efforts. Originally, if you want to be promoted to the first-level inspector, you still need to complete an assessment task, but
You have made great achievements in Xun'an County, so this is no longer necessary."
After saying this, Chen Yu looked serious and said: "I came here to tell you something. Chaos is beginning to appear in Qiongtian Mansion. I need you to go to Qiongtian Mansion and take charge of the city."
