Five hundred and ninetieth chapters back to the east
"Master Gu, I definitely know Lanqu County better than Jing Yan. After all, I have been the king of Lanqu County for more than a hundred years. How about this, let me show you the way?" Zhou Shangyun's expression changed slightly.
, just return to business as usual.
Zhou Shangyun is not worried that Gu Xinghe will attack him. He is the county king of Tianyuan Continent and an official. If Gu Xinghe attacks him, it will be tantamount to provoking the majesty of the Holy City.
Although the Gu family is strong, they don't have the courage to openly challenge the Holy City.
"The prince is welcome!"
"Why do you need to worry about such a trivial matter? Moreover, the ancient cave that my Gu family discovered this time is within the Donglin City area. Alchemist Jing Yan is from Donglin City, so it is naturally more suitable." Gu Xinghe chuckled,
Said in a neither salty nor bland tone.
"Oh? In the Dong Lincheng area?" Zhou Shangyun did not expect that the ancient cave that Gu Xinghe wanted to enter would actually be in the Dong Lincheng area.
"Yes! Donglin City is backed by the Blackstone Mountains. The ancient cave that our Gu family discovered this time is in the Blackstone Mountains." Gu Xinghe nodded.
"That's a coincidence. I happen to be going to Donglin City, why don't we go there together?" Zhou Shangyun changed the topic.
Gu Xinghe suddenly frowned.
However, having said that, if he refuses again, he really can't find any reason.
"Of course that's good." Gu Xinghe could only nod and agreed to Zhou Shangyun's proposal.
Gu Xinghe already had some regrets in his heart. If he had known about that troublesome person, he would definitely not have come to Lanqu County.
The four of them set off for Donglin City.
"Jing Yan, why did you agree to lead Gu Xinghe?" During the flight, Jing Yan and Zhou Shangyun were behind Gu Xinghe, and Zhou Shangyun asked in a low voice.
"That Gu Xinghe must have bad intentions towards you, you should stay in Dan Kingdom." Zhou Shangyun shook his head and sighed softly.
It would be reckless for Jing Yan to leave the Dan Kingdom area now.
"Your Majesty, I know everything you said. However, Gu Xinghe said he knew something about my father, so I had to make this trip. As long as I can remember, I have never seen my father, nor have I ever seen him before.
Get any information about my father's whereabouts, so..." Jing Yan explained.
He knew that Zhou Shangyun was also worried about him.
"Oh?" Zhou Shangyun showed a surprised expression.
"Well, since that's the case, I can't say much, but you must be careful. Another thing you may not know is that Gu Xinghe is the candidate patriarch of the Gu family. As far as I know, the Gu family currently has two
Candidate clan leader, and the previous clan leader should step down in about ten years, this Gu Xinghe is likely to become the next patriarch of the Gu family." Zhou Shangyun knew more about Gu Xinghe's identity than Jing Yan.
Hearing this, Jing Yan's eyes flashed. He really didn't know that Gu Xinghe still had such an identity. No wonder, Gu Xinghe was surrounded by a warrior with extremely powerful cultivation to protect him.
Presumably, the Gu family made such an arrangement in case of an accident.
A few days later, the four of them arrived in Donglin City.
"This Donglin City is pretty good!" Gu Xinghe sighed after entering the city.
Today's Donglin City has indeed changed a lot from before. In the past, this small city could only be regarded as the lowest level in Lanqu County, but now it has changed a lot. On the streets, even warriors in the innate realm often
can see.
Jing Yan has not been back for many years. Now that he sees the situation in Donglin City, he nods secretly, feeling quite satisfied.
"The current Donglin City is considered a first-class city within the Lanqu County area. Although its heritage is not comparable to that of the four major cities, it is attractive. Compared with the four major cities, it is no less impressive." Zhou Shangyun
Said with a smile.
While talking and laughing, the four of them arrived at the Lord's Mansion in Donglin City.
The guard informed, the city lord Jing Tianying came out to greet him soon.
When the prince of the county arrives, Jing Tianying will of course come out to greet him personally.
"I've met the Lord Prince." Jing Tianying bowed in greeting.
"City Lord Jingtianying, you don't have to be so polite." Zhou Shangyun said quickly.
"City Lord Jingtianying has extraordinary abilities. He was able to develop Donglin City to such a scale in such a short period of time. It's really admirable!" Gu Xinghe said, looking at Jingtianying.
He also knew about Jing Tianying's identity.
In fact, he has specifically investigated everything about Jing Yan. He knows that Donglin City belongs to the Jing family. In this city, the Jing family is like an overlord.
Of course, this is nothing. A family like the Jing family is incomparable to the Gu family. They are thousands of miles apart. Just two people from the Gu family can easily destroy a small family like the Jing family.
"Who is this?" Jing Tianying looked at Gu Xinghe and asked.
"Fourth Elder, this is Young Master Gu Xinghe. He is a member of the Gu family of the seven major families and has a distinguished status." Jing Yan introduced Gu Xinghe's identity, "The person next to Young Master Gu is Mr. Yin."
Jing Tianying raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Xinghe in shock. Jing Tianying also knew the Gu family and the significance of the seven aristocratic families on the mainland.
"It turns out it's Mr. Gu and Mr. Yin, haha, please come in quickly." Jing Tianying hurriedly cupped his hands, then stepped aside and invited a few people to enter the city lord's mansion.
"Master Gu, we have been traveling for days. Why don't we rest for a day in the Lord's Mansion of Donglin City today, and then set off into the Black Rock Mountains early tomorrow morning." Zhou Shangyun turned to look at the Guxing River.
"Then I'll listen to you, Prince, and take a day off." Gu Xinghe nodded without any objection.
After entering the city lord's mansion, a few people chatted for a while, and Jing Tianying arranged the rooms for Gu Xinghe and others.
After Gu Xinghe and the other two people left with the guards of the City Lord's Mansion, Jing Tianying's expression suddenly changed.
Here, only Jing Yan, Zhou Shangyun and Jing Tianying are left.
"Your Majesty, what is Gu Xinghe doing in our Donglin City?" Jing Tianying asked in a solemn voice. Although everyone seemed to be friendly just now, Jing Tianying also saw that Gu Xinghe and Jing Tianying were not the same as Jing Tianying.
It can be said that the relationship between Zhou Shangyun and Zhou Shangyun is definitely not that harmonious.
If you can't even see this, that's not normal.
"This person seems to have some thoughts about Jing Yan, but right now, I can't be sure." Zhou Shangyun's face also darkened.
"Haha, I don't want to think about it that much. The soldiers are coming to cover up the water and the earth! It's not that easy to deal with me!" Jing Yan waved his hand and said in a relaxed tone.
"Fourth Elder, I'm going to visit the family now, and we'll talk about it later." Jing Yan then said to Jing Tianying.
He hasn't been back for a long time, and Jing Yan also wants to see the current development of the Jing family. There is also the Huihuang Dan Tower in Donglin City. Uncle Jing Chenxing has left. I wonder if there are any problems with the operation of the Hui Huang Dan Tower here.
