Gu Chen and Prince Huai were facing each other tit for tat, their eyes colliding. Wisps of lightning seemed to be growing in the void, and the atmosphere here suddenly became tense.
The King Huai at this moment is really very different from the past. If the previous King Huai was gentle and restrained, the current King Huai is domineering and wild.
That kind of look, stern and unruly, like a king overlooking the world.
This can't help but make Gu Chen feel a little confused. Which one is the real King Huai, the King Huai he knew before, or the King Huai known to everyone in the world, and the current King Huai?
Or is it that the previous King Huai has always been disguising himself?
Gu Chen didn't know about this.
Prince Huai's changes were really huge. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Gu Chen wouldn't believe it.
But at this time, Gu Chen originally thought that Prince Huai would be angry, but the first prince of Great Xia smiled faintly, eliminating the tense atmosphere between the two.
"Gu Chen, I am a rare evildoer in Jiuzhou. You are loyal to Daxia and have made many contributions. I don't want anything to happen to you. I am doing this for your safety and for Daxia.
consider."
Gu Chen looked solemn and said: "So, I still want to thank the prince?"
King Huai shook his head slightly and said: "You don't have to thank me. I know you misunderstand me now. One day, you will understand my good intentions. Daxia no longer has the ability to be the enemy of the world.
, and can no longer continue to suppress the world, necessary restraint and forbearance are indispensable, and I hope you can consider this."
Gu Chen stood up tall, facing Yuan Ting and Yue Zhi, and said: "I only know that the more you give in and the more you forbear, it will only make your opponents look down upon you even more, causing them to press harder and harder, and eventually Daxia will be cornered by all parties.
, Moreover, from the prince's perspective, you don't think that as long as Daxia gives in and tolerates it, the barbarians, Dayuan, and the Liuhe God Sect will not target Daxia, right?"
"I have my own way to deal with all this. I know you want to unite the forces of the world to fight against the catastrophe. This is also my idea. You and I actually have the same idea, but we just do it in different ways. My method is better than
For your kind, it should be more secure, right? You have to know that it is easy to break if it is too strong." King Huai said.
"Please forgive me for not agreeing with the prince's thoughts. It is true that if you are too strong, it will be easy to break, but if you are too soft, it will accelerate your own destruction. It will make the enemy feel that you can be bullied, and they will constantly test Daxia's bottom line. Is it true that Daxia's
Will the bottom line be lowered again and again because of this?" Gu Chen looked solemn as he questioned King Huai.
"You are still too young to understand what I am doing now." Prince Huai shook his head without further explanation.
Gu Chen said: "We don't agree with each other. My lord, please take your leave!"
After saying this, Gu Chen turned around and left without giving King Huai another chance to speak.
However, before leaving, Gu Chen's words reached King Huai's ears from afar.
"No harm will come to my family. No matter who dares to touch my second uncle's family, Gu Chen will definitely fight to the death!"
After hearing this, King Huai narrowed his eyes slightly, and a fist hidden in his sleeve robe suddenly clenched, and then let go. After several times, he finally regained his composure.
"Forget it, I understand that you are extremely talented, so I will give you a while. If you are still so insistent on your own way, it is no wonder that I am ruthless." Prince Huai's tone was indifferent, and he stared straight in the direction where Gu Chen left.
Outside the main hall of the palace, Mr. Gongsun was waiting here. When he saw Gu Chen come out and leave, Mr. Gongsun knew that the relationship between the two should have broken down.
"Alas..." He sighed slightly in his heart, Mr. Gongsun did not enter, but just stayed here.
King Huai is indeed becoming more and more aggressive.
After leaving Prince Huai's Mansion, Gu Chen felt a little heavy in his heart. He didn't know how Prince Huai became like this. Prince Huai in such an appearance was obviously not good news for Daxia today.
How is it possible for him to apologize to the Six Holy Lands and then compromise? This is no different from killing Gu Chen. Gu Chen would not agree.
Moreover, if Gu Chen agrees to King Huai this time, there will definitely be a second and third time. Can blind tolerance really exchange for peace?
Gu Chen didn't think so.
True peace is achieved through strong strength. Only when you are strong enough to shock the world can you win the respect of others.
Joining forces vertically and horizontally to engage in some conspiracies is definitely not the best solution in a world like Kyushu where force is paramount.
Just as Gu Chen and King Huai said, although they both wanted to unify the forces of the Nine Provinces, they used completely different methods. Since their respective paths were different, there was no need to continue talking.
As for his second uncle's family, Gu Chen believed that with Qin Wu, the deputy commander of Jingtian Division, and the supervisor of Qintian Prison, even if he left Tiandu to go on a mission, these two people would definitely help him save his second uncle's family.
Besides, at least in the short term, Prince Huai will not break up with Gu Chen.
After all, Gu Chen is no longer a small person now. Anyone who wants to touch him has to think carefully.
"Dalang is back."
At this time, unknowingly, Gu Chen had returned to Gu Mansion. The concierge, Uncle Zhang, had a look of surprise on his face when he saw Gu Chen coming back.
Since coming to this world, Gu Chen has been very busy and spends very little time at home. However, because the things he does are sensational in the world, the people of the entire Tiandu know him, and naturally these servants in the family also know him. Everyone knew about Gu Chen's deeds, which made them feel proud and honored.
The greater Gu Chen's reputation, the more people come to visit the Gu family. After all, Gu Chen has no parents, only his second uncle Gu Chengfeng, his aunt Xu Qing'e and his younger sister Gu Qingyan. Therefore, many famous families in Tiandu want to pay homage to his second uncle. The uncle's family expressed their goodwill, and then started a relationship with Gu Chen.
After all, not everyone is qualified to visit Gu Chen in person nowadays.
It is precisely because of this that the status of the servants of the Gu family has also increased. No matter where they go in Tiandu, they can hold their heads high. Even when buying food in the market, they will be greeted by the name of the Gu family. Many vendors are very enthusiastic and offer many gifts.
"Uncle Zhang."
Although Gu Chen's fame is growing day by day, his character is not arrogant. He is still the same as at the beginning. After saying hello to the concierge Zhang, he walked into the Gu Mansion.
"Madam, Miss, Da Lang is back." When the maid Xiaoyu saw Gu Chen's return, she quickly informed Xu Qing'e and Gu Qingyan.
Hearing the news that Gu Chen was back, the mother and daughter ran out with surprise on their faces. Aunt Xu Qing'e said: "Da Lang, how long do you plan to stay at home when you come back this time?"
"I should stay a few more days this time." Gu Chen smiled. After returning to the Gu Mansion, his body and mind relaxed.
In the evening, the second uncle returned. At Gu Chengfeng's strong request, the uncle and nephew had a good drink. As expected, Gu Chengfeng became drunk.
His eyes were blurred and he smelled of alcohol. He kept mumbling words such as "Gu Chen has a future", "He has an explanation for Gu Chen's parents" and "Gu Chen Guangzong honors his ancestors". Xu Qing'e frowned when he heard this.
She glanced at her husband several times in annoyance.
Even Gu Qingyan was a little helpless, because Gu Chengfeng would say this every time he drank too much, and it was the same when he was alone. They just talked about it back and forth, and the mother and daughter had long been tired of hearing it.
Seeing this warm scene, Gu Chen remembered what Prince Huai said during the day, and his eyes couldn't help but become slightly colder.
He will never allow anyone to dare to touch his family. Whoever touches them will die!
No matter what identity this person has, even if he is the co-owner of the world, it is the same!
"Da Lang, if you are tired, go back to your room and rest early." At this time, aunt Xu Qing'e looked at Gu Chen and said softly.
"Okay, I'll send my second uncle back as well." Gu Chen said, helping his second uncle Gu Chengfeng to stand up.
"No, no, no, he likes drinking so much, just let him stay here all night." Aunt Xu Qing'e rolled her eyes at Gu Chengfeng.
"This..." Gu Chen hesitated for a moment.
Gu Qingyan's eyebrows were picturesque, her red lips parted lightly, and she said with a chuckle: "Don't worry, brother, this is not the first time. Every time dad drinks too much, mom won't let him go to bed."
When Gu Chen heard this, he immediately burst into laughter. Anyway, his second uncle was also a warrior. Although his cultivation was not strong, he would not get sick if he slept here, so Gu Chen also listened to his aunt's words.
Later, aunt Xu Qing'e and sister Gu Qingyan, mother and daughter, separated one after another, and Gu Chen also went back to his room to rest.
As for the second uncle Gu Chengfeng, after drinking too much, he had already fallen asleep on the table.
In the following period of time, perhaps because of a series of things that Gu Chen had done in Longhu Mountain, the world fell into a period of calm. Gu Chen also found peace and spent a relatively long period of time in the Gu Mansion.
Yu took a short vacation.
Soon, the New Year came, and on this day, heavy snow fell like feathers in the sky, the streets of Tiandu were decorated with lights, and the faces of the people were all filled with joy.
Another year passed peacefully, and firecrackers sounded from time to time in Tiandu City.
At this moment, Gu Chen was following his sister Gu Qingyan, treating himself as a bodyguard, guarding Gu Qingyan.
Gu Qingyan was wearing a coat made of ferret. Coupled with her exquisite facial features and good figure, she looked very noble, like a princess in the palace. She was setting off fireworks with her maid Xiaoyu not far away.
Gu Chen stood aside and watched this scene. Despite the severe cold weather, he was still wearing a black suit and his figure was tall and slender, standing here like an ancient pine.
During this period of time, the world has been peaceful, and demons and ghosts rarely appear. He has stayed away from the killings, blended into the world of mortals, and temporarily put aside all the disturbances in the outside world.
And his state of mind became much calmer than before. Faintly, Gu Chen felt that his thoughts were becoming purer and his mental intensity had also increased slightly.
"Too much is too much, and the road to martial arts is all about relaxation."
Gu Chen sighed. He had been too tight before. This was the first time since he came to Kyushu that he had spent such a peaceful time.
At this moment, Gu Chen's heart was very peaceful, and all the evil spirits in his heart had been eliminated. His mind was like a spiritual tower or a bright mirror, which reflected many things during this period.
"Staying away from disputes, integrating into the world of mortals, and experiencing all kinds of conditions in the world may not be a way of cultivation." Gu Chen whispered, it was recorded in ancient books that in ancient Kyushu, many warriors observed the mountains and rivers, observed the various conditions of the world of mortals, and practiced cultivation.
Because you can also enter the country.
It is not unheard of for a person to have a sudden enlightenment and advance by leaps and bounds in cultivation, breaking through multiple realms in one day.
As Gu Chen said, there are many ways to practice. If you are too tight, you will eventually bring too much pressure to yourself. In this state, you want to make your body and mind unique, clear and transparent, and condense your spiritual thoughts.
, is still very difficult.
"No wonder the Six Holy Lands will let their descendants go down the mountain every once in a while to enter the world. Indeed, they will have many different insights."
Soon, the new year passed, and not long after, Gu Chen celebrated his birthday, and his age also changed from twenty-two to twenty-three.
At this point, it has been two years since he came to this world.
On the day when Gu Chen turned twenty-three, great changes took place in the world. Jiuzhou, which had been peaceful for a while, once again made waves.
