There were several heavily armed guards in front of the main entrance of Changxia Palace. They noticed the two approaching and shouted loudly.
Those who are qualified to visit Changxia Palace are either rich or noble. Traveling in caged cars can be said to be standard. As for people like Gu Chenfeiyan who come on foot, the guards treat them as ordinary people who don't know their importance without even thinking about it.
"Ahead is the Changxia Palace, no one can get close to it!"
"Ah, sorry, actually..."
"Stop talking nonsense! If you don't want to go to jail, just leave!"
Gu Chen reached into his pocket to take out the Juvenile Supervision Department's license plate, but several guards, probably tortured by the scorching summer heat, lost their patience. They interrupted Gu Chen's words angrily, and raised their spears and halberds as if to stab him.
.
"Be bold!"
The sound of scolding was followed by a flash of lightning, and the spear and halberd that was struck was instantly cut into two pieces. The iron halberd head flew in the air for several weeks and then penetrated into the wall next to it, while the guards looked at the woman in front of them with astonishment.
Swordsman.
Since they can become the guards of Changxia Palace, no matter what happens to these guards, they always have two brushes under their hands. However, no one saw the movements of the female swordsman clearly at that moment. This also means that if the female swordsman had that intention,
I'm afraid not only the spears and halberds, but also a neat tangent line has been drawn on their necks.
"That sword! Is it the Thunder Sword User?"
"What? The Thunder Sect of the Three Great Swords!?"
"Wait a minute, why would the Thunder Sword user..."
The guards looked over with trembling, only to see that the thunder sword in the female swordsman's hand was radiating scorching thunder outwards, and a violent arrogance rolled over with the momentum of a roaring tiger. It was clearly noon in the hot summer, but the guards
But their backs felt as if they had been whipped by an ice whip, with cold sweat dripping from head to toe.
"How dare you point a gun at my lord, you are a disrespectful person."
The female swordsman glanced coldly at the trembling guards in front of her, without concealing the displeasure in her voice. "My master, the Young Supervisor of the Fangzao Division, was summoned by the commander to come to visit. You raised your halberd to intercept for no reason. What do you intend to do?
!?"
"Huh? Young Master, Junior Supervisor Department?"
The scolded guards were stunned again, and then looked at each other in confusion. Under the instruction of the female leader of the house, the news that the master of Gewufang was hired as a young supervisor is currently only known to the upper echelons of Liyang Mansion, so it is no wonder that the guards don't know Gu Chen. But even if they don't know him,
The fact that the newly promoted Young Supervisor Division has a Thunder Sword Master following him is enough to prove that Gu Chen's status is extraordinary.
"I'm very sorry! Please wait a moment, we will verify it right away!"
The guard captain bowed his head towards Gu Chen in embarrassment, his forehead covered with cold sweat.
The Young Supervisor Department of Liyang Mansion is the highest-ranking official on the same level as the directors of various prefectures. It has the authority to visit the head of the government at any time. In terms of status and authority, they are by no means qualified to block it. Just when the guards were thinking in a panic
When I went to report, a rough female voice suddenly came from behind.
"Oh, oh, oh? Are there any strangers here?"
"Eh? Barbara, barbarian?"
Everyone looked back and saw a middle-aged female official walking from the corner in front of them.
The female official is as tall as an adult man, and her banner is several times the size of the former. Her thick figure is reminiscent of a female buffalo in the savanna. At the moment, she is carrying a large basket of fruits and vegetables in her left hand and a full bucket of fruit and vegetables on her right shoulder.
The homemade fruit wine weighs at least one or two hundred pounds on both sides, but the movement of walking over does not feel strenuous.
"I thought something happened when I heard the commotion at the door, but I didn't expect it was you, little brother? Welcome." Barbara greeted Gu Chen with a friendly smile, and then her eyes fell on Fei Yan. "Oh, I brought it with me this time.
Come here, girl? The majestic one is your lover, little brother?"
"Make no mistake, I am Gu Chen's servant."
Feiyan frowned and glanced at the powerful female official in front of her, sheathed her sword with a cold snort.
The thunder sword was sheathed, and the coercive atmosphere at the scene immediately subsided. The guards also looked relieved. The captain of the guard swallowed his saliva and asked the middle-aged female officer in an awe-inspiring tone.
"Barbara, do you know them?"
"Of course I know him." Barbara replied readily. "Unlike those guys who can only move their mouths, this guy repaired our water gate hinge in just a few clicks when he came here last time. But he has real materials.
Master, the eldest lady personally hired him as the Juvenile Supervisor, and the second lady asked Ying to be his assistant. Even the head of my family is being taken care of there."
Barbara is a veteran retainer who has served the Wu family since the time of her ancestor Li Yanggong. The "eldest lady" in her mouth is Wu Yan, the eldest daughter of Li Yanggong, and the "second lady" is Wu Zhen, the second daughter of Li Yanggong. She is deeply loved by Wu.
She has been trusted by three generations of the family and is also the de facto manager of the Changxia Palace, so her voice is definitely not light.
"Wow ah ah..."
Barbara's unstinting praise for Gu Chen made the guards pale when they heard it, but the person being praised did not show any happy expression.
"Official Barbara, you are exaggerating." Gu Chen frowned. "That statement makes it seem like I have become an important person in the Liyang Mansion, but in fact that is not the case at all, right?"
Si Shushi didn't know that she was the daughter of a prince, and even if she was hired as a young supervisor by the head of the government, she was still a sinecure so far, so Gu Chen's evaluation of herself was far from what Barbara said.
Besides, it is not Gu Chen's interest at all to be treated with fear and fear by the people around him because of his status.
"What? Little brother, do you really think so?"
Barbara looked at Gu Chen with a serious and surprised expression on her face.
"Is not it?"
"Alas, how should I put it... Although careerists in sheep's clothing are very annoying, but tiger cubs who are completely unconscious may be even more difficult... The eldest lady has met her opponent, and there should be more in the future.
What a show to watch..." Barbara, who was muttering to herself, suddenly looked excited for some reason.
"You're here to see the eldest lady, right? Come on, I'll show you the way."

Wu Mansion, also known as the "Changxia Palace", is divided into "Qianluo" and "Backluo" in terms of structure.
Among them, "Qianluo" is the place where Changxia Palace functions as the center of the government, while "Backluo" is the place where the princes and the Wu family live and live. The functions of the front and back Luo are completely different, just like Gu Chen's last visit to Changxia Palace
At that time, he accepted Wu Yan's hospitality as a private person, so he went backward. This time, Gu Chen came to see the head of Li Yang as a young supervisor, so of course he went forward.
The Qianluo of Changxia Palace is divided into several areas according to different functions, and Wu Yan is currently in the Zichen Pavilion in the center of the Qianluo.
Zichen Pavilion is a confidential place where all the ministers gather, and it is also the place where the governors of the past dynasties handle consular affairs. People come and go in front of Zichen Pavilion, but there are regulations that no one is allowed to set foot inside with weapons. As a result, Feiyan had to
Waiting outside the building, Gu Chen went in alone to meet the heroine of the house.
