Bulwark of Light

Chapter 616 Mounting Dust (Third Change)

Underground Research Institute.

As the name suggests, it is a "research institute" hidden underground... It's just that the central city is a city suspended in the sky, and a large number of buildings are suspended in the sky. ladder".

The airship stopped at a suspended building.

After Gu Shen and Fisher verified their identities, they entered the secret staircase on the top floor... Although they couldn't feel the slightest shock inside, Gu Shen released his "spirit" and watched the rapid fall of the secret staircase from the outside!
"First time seeing this thing?" Fisher said with a smile.

"Yes, Beizhou's technology... always surprises people." Gu Shen said seriously: "The 'secret ladder' of nearly a thousand meters leads directly to the ground... This is not a simple project."

Fisher's response is quite interesting: "Compared with Her Majesty's 'melting pot', these are nothing."

"certainly……"

Gu Shen was helpless: "That's a real 'miracle'!"

……

……

Tonight's feast at the Underground Research Institute was well-arranged.

After all, all the famous people from Beizhou were present... and the invitation this time was still in the form of a "dinner party" in name.

After arriving at the venue, all the princes and generals sat down one by one under the guidance of the waiters.

"Teacher, he is here."

Among the crowd, Li Bing saw the figure he had been waiting for for a long time at a glance, he quickly took the wine glass, came to the side of Grand Duke Xiangchen, leaned over and whispered.

The four princes of Beizhou.

Casting snow, inserting dust, suppressing the moon, forging the sun.

To be precise, there are only three Grand Dukes left now... The obituary issued by Guangming City not long ago is tantamount to announcing that the hereditary title of the "Zhenyue" lineage in Beizhou has been cut off.

"Ah."

Grand Duke Xiangchen responded lightly.

He was old, and because he was well pampered, his complexion looked rosy, but it was a pity that the years were not forgiving, no matter how much he took care of it, a touch of gray hair appeared on his temples.

"The invitation you sent three days ago?" Xiang Chen asked softly.

"Yes. I wrote that letter very seriously, with a total of more than a thousand words." Li Bing smiled bitterly, and said frankly: "I just heard that this little Mr. Gu, once he returned to the Central City, he found a place to practice in seclusion. I don't know if I read it..."

Xiang Chen shook his head, and said: "Do you know how many people want to invite him to meet?"

Li Bing let out a long sigh.

How could he not know?
"It's not because Mr. Gu is being rude, but because there are too many letters and invitations, even if you see it, how can you reply?"

Xiang Chen gently admonished: "Just think about it, if you agreed so easily, what would other people do? Write a letter, more than a thousand words, what's so difficult?"

Li Bing nodded quickly.

He said helplessly: "Actually, the students have no other choice. They really want to meet that little Mr. Gu, so in the letter... your name was also mentioned a little bit."

Xiang Chen smiled, and said: "You are not stupid... you know how to get out of the backer behind you."

Li Bing touched his nose.

"It's just... this little Mr. Gu is from Dongzhou."

Grand Duke Xiangchen said slowly: "My name is useless outside Beizhou. But if you want to see me, why is it so complicated, you... just come with me."

……

……

over the dinner party.

Fisher's expression was complicated. He raised his hands, carefully protecting his "fish tank", and squeezed through the crowded "crowd". Obviously, the crowd was not aimed at him.

But the one behind him.

Fisher sat down in his seat, relieved.

"Why is Xiao Gu so 'popular'?" He looked at the crowd behind him like a ghost.

Zhong Yuan, who was next to Fisher, raised his glass slowly, swaying slowly, watching the good show over there, "It's very simple...he is a powerful 'outsider'."

"I can understand outsiders, what does it mean to be strong?"

Fisher had already guessed that when Gu Shen entered the venue, he would be stopped by many interested people.

But he didn't expect it.

It's not blocking...it's surrounding.

"Huaqi Group has close cooperation and ties with the four continents." Zhong Yuan calmly said: "Mrs. Lu in Dadu is now the absolute control of the group. After the conflict of ideas in the bill two years ago, many families in Beizhou , the relationship with Huaqi has become delicate... At this time, there is a great need for a 'buffer'."

Fisher suddenly realized something. He knew that Gu Shen and Mrs. Lu had a very good relationship. Hua Zhi had publicly stated that he would fully support Gu Shen's growth... It was this support that made this S-class man famous after entering Nagano, and Stand your ground.

"It's just a 'card' behind Gu Shen's back."

Zhong Yuan looked at the young man surrounded by the crowd, and said meaningfully: "The Gu family, the Bai family, the newly promoted Dou Zhan Zhan, the successor of divination, the formation pattern master of Qingzhong Cemetery...every piece of paper this kid holds in his hand It is worth the big families in Beizhou to deal with him well. Greetings and invitations are the cheapest way, aren't they?"

The nobles of Beizhou, the investigation legion, and other legions follow two sets of rules.

Their battlefield is not outside the Great Wall, but among the suspended buildings.

The queen holds up the central city, some people fight bloody battles, some bury their heads in the ground, and some use vulgar objects to weave a big net covering the world... This world will not be perfect without any part of its composition.

And the "vulgar thing" that the top extraordinary people look down on the most, happens to be held by Gu Shen.

And it's a lot to hold in the hand.

"Okay, I admit it's cheesy, but it's really useful."

Zhong Yuan shrugged and said, "Frankly speaking, I came here tonight not only to see Traveler, but also to see this good show...Don't look at Gu Shen being surrounded by all the people, those pretending to be enthusiastic, have long since I just read the obituary of Guangming City, how many of them really want to be friends with Gu Shen?"

A very cold voice sounded faintly.

"Even if you want to, you don't deserve it."

Mu Wanqiu was chewing the steak in small bites, she was expressionless, she was concentrating on doing her own thing, she didn't even look up at the direction of the noisy crowd.

Those people surrounding Gu Shen... were almost the group of people she hated the most in Beizhou.

"You are a cold-faced and ruthless [Judge] who does not get caught up in the hustle and bustle. You only have swords and fire in your eyes."

Zhong Yuan joked, "If Gu Shen was like you, then the old guys in Nagano might not be so happy."

After Mu Wanqiu had finished eating, she wiped her lips with a tablecloth, and silently looked towards the corner of the dinner party. In that direction, she sensed an extremely dazzling aura, and her expression became cloudy.

Zhong principle is to continue to watch the excitement with Fisher in his arms.

"Eh... Grand Duke Xiang Chen has gone too?"

Most of the people who greeted Gu Shen were ordinary dignitaries in Beizhou, and most of them wanted to use Gu Shen to build a good relationship with the colorful Mrs. Lu.

Their purpose is pure and simple.

Those "famous generals" who really had a high status in Beizhou didn't leave much... because they had already met Gu Shen twice.

……

……

Gu Shen is rejecting these invitations one by one.

He is quite familiar with these things.

It's okay to be surrounded, just walk "slowly" for a while... He is both helpless and funny in his heart. Two years ago, he was a "little boy" who couldn't even receive invitations to the free dance party, and now he is very popular Has it come to this point?
Suddenly the crowd made a noise and gave way to the road.

Give way, for one reason only.

That is, the status of those who came is more noble than them.

Gu Shen raised his head and saw this tall, middle-aged man with outstanding image.

"Grand Duke Xiangchen?"

Gu Shen was quite surprised, logically speaking... the Grand Duke should not have appeared on this occasion.

Chu Ling's voice sounded in the spiritual sea.

"He came for that student."

Gu Shen was slightly taken aback, and immediately noticed the young man beside Xiang Chen who was tugging at his sleeve, obviously a bit cautious.

"Li Bing."

Chu Ling pulled out the files, as well as the original letter.

"Although this young man is the garrison of Dongning City, according to the file, he was born in Dongzhou, and he is in the 'Qinghe District' like you. Li Bing was sent to Beizhou to study since he was a child, and he was sent to Beizhou to study by the Grand Duke Xiangchen. I liked it, and then I was sent to the 'Dongning City' bordering the tundra in the east of the fortress, and this time, the conferment period was completed, and I returned to the central city to return to my command."

Gu Shen knew that among the four princes, except Zhenyue who fought in the fortress and was known for his force, the other three stayed behind in the central city.

The hereditary title is like this.

Zhu Xue now controls the power of Beizhou, which can be regarded as the "arm" of the empress.

The other two are idlers. Duke Duanyang made great contributions in the early years, and now he is idle in the central city, and this Duke Xiangchen is also doing the same... It's just that he basically doesn't go out of the house on weekdays, the only pleasure, It is reading books and practicing calligraphy. This is a very old and traditional habit, basically only the royal family will keep it.

And Grand Duke Xiangchen's students are all over Beizhou, if he goes out, he will teach everywhere.

When the Queen was young, the Grand Duke accompanied her to study and taught her young Majesty how to read, read and understand the truth.

Therefore, Grand Duke Xiang Chen is also the one with the "best reputation" and "the least disputes" among the four great princes.

Zhenyue was stationed at the frontier, and the aura of killing was too strong. Zhuxue was in control of the power. Because of their power, these two offended many dignitaries directly or indirectly.

Duanyang, on the other hand, is dedicated to keeping his business. He has not made any contributions to Beizhou in these years, and just sits and eats the title... which seems a bit "unworthy of virtue".

Being in a high position is like that.

"This Grand Duke Xiangchen...is full of peaches and plums, he can almost be regarded as a 'saint'."

If he hadn't seen "Li Bing", Gu Shen really couldn't figure out why this Grand Duke deliberately came to find him.

Now, it's obvious.

This is to make an appointment to meet myself for the students.

"Mr. Gu, Master Qianye and I are half-time acquaintances... There are some 'ancient Chinese classics' hidden in our home, which may be helpful for you to comprehend the patterns of the Qingzhong Mausoleum."

Xiangchen bowed slightly, made Nagano's salute, and said sincerely: "If Mr. Gu is free, why not take some time to come to the courtyard for a talk?"

"polite."

When it comes to "ancient prose", Gu Shenke understands it.

He hurriedly returned the salute and said respectfully: "Master Xiangchen, even if he is not Mr. Qianye's old friend, Gu must meet him."

This time and again, everyone spoke very decently.

Xiangchen didn't mention his students at all.

In fact, they know each other well.

If you go to the appointment, there must be a third person present at that time.
