Bulwark of Light

Chapter 617 The postman (first update)
A quarter of an hour later, Gu Shen finally returned to his seat. This table is full of "captain"-level powerhouses who carry out the restart mission. Everyone has met at the training ground, and they have lived and died together in the disaster situation. Now they are gathered at the same table. lively.

"Big Red, are you finally done?"

Zhong Yuan teased with a smile.

Gu Shen sighed, and said helplessly, "Perhaps I should make it clear to them that although my surname is Gu, I was not born in the Gu family in Nagano."

Zhong Yuan smiled and said, "Although that's the case... But now that the Gu family has merged, apart from that old man, there are also Gu Nanfeng. I'm afraid there are few people who speak more powerfully than you."

Gu Shen knew that these people were looking for their own "purpose".

It's just...these so-called "big and powerful" at this stage, just want to say hello to themselves and get acquainted with each other.

I'm afraid they have also learned about the Holy Inquisitor.

Gu Shen also doesn't want to expose the minds of these guys, life is like a play, and on the stage of Wuzhou power, everyone needs some "decency".

"I just saw... Grand Duke Xiangchen seems to have asked you out too?"

Fisher was quite interested in Xiang Chen and asked a question.

"Yes."

Gu Shen smiled, and said: "It's an appointment for his student. The Dongning City garrison came out of Dongzhou with me. He probably wants to chat with me."

As for what to talk about, he didn't know very well, and he didn't think much about it.

"Xiang Chen is a very good person." Fisher gave a high evaluation.

He recalled the past, and said slowly: "I think back then, when I first came to Beizhou, I was not familiar with the place in the central city. With the introduction of Lord Osmond, Grand Duke Xiangchen took good care of me, and also proposed His invitation to study..."

Gu Shen: "..."

He had already guessed the outcome of this matter.

"You know, the thing I hate the most in my life is 'reading'..."

Fisher touched the fish tank on his head, and said awkwardly: "In the end I went to Deepscale City, and the paper collection he gave me before parting is still eating ashes on the shelf."

From this point of view, Xiangchen's reputation and character are really good.

Indeed... Who would hate a "teacher" who reads at ease and teaches others to read?

"someone is coming."

Suddenly, Mu Wanqiu lowered her voice and said this to Gu Shen through voice transmission with a gloomy expression.

Gu Shen narrowed his eyes slightly, looking towards a certain direction in the banquet hall.

Several captains on the table sensed a spirit-attracting atmosphere.

The lively venue suddenly became a little quiet.

The crowd gave way.

Let's make way for this amazing woman who is "full of light".

……

……

"Hello... Mr. Gu, my surname is Meng, Meng Xizhou."

This is a young woman wearing a light veil and not wearing too many clothes. Her eyes are clear, like a blue stream, and like a cloud floating in the sky. It is difficult for people to look away after one glance... A pair of pupils seemed to be seen only on newly born babies.

Because this woman's appearance was so stunning, many "gentlemen and celebrities" holding wine glasses in the banquet hall subconsciously fell into the gentle eyes of this woman, and ten seconds passed without knowing it, and then they realized Seeing his impoliteness, he quickly looked away, but the strange thing is, after withdrawing his gaze, no one thought it was a kind of gaffe.

Because of such beautiful pupils, anyone who looks at them wants to take a second look.

Nothing to do with evil thoughts.

That is the most instinctive desire deep in the human heart - the pursuit of beauty and light.

After a long wait, no one expected that this woman who had captured everyone's attention as soon as she appeared on the stage walked straight past the tables in the venue, and finally came to Gu Shen.

She held out her hand and introduced herself briefly.

And Gu Shen, who was sitting on the seat, was also staring at these eyes very seriously... He stared at them longer than everyone else, because he was more serious than everyone else.

Meng Xizhou's eyes were full of "brightness".

This is purer "light" than the blessings on Meng Xiao.

When the pupils of this pair of eyes fell on him... "Pluto Fire Seed" subconsciously wanted to escape from the sea of ​​spirits between the brows and float out, because it felt the stimulus of the other half of the opposing power destined by fate.

After a long time.

Gu Shen came over slowly.

He stood up, did not shake hands with him, but bowed slightly, and bowed in the traditional Dongzhou custom: "It turns out to be the goddess, Gu has admired him for a long time."

There is too much light in this woman's body.

Gu Shen was worried that if he shook hands... something strange would be noticed.

Avoid it if you don't have to.

There is another reason, and that is that Chu Ling is also staring at this scene.

"What a beautiful girl." Chu Ling's eyes were on Meng Xizhou, and she never left her eyes. Her voice was calm, but every word she uttered was heart-stopping: "It's a pity...she is really prickly." Rose, this is an extremely dangerous person, she was born to be considered as the successor of the 'Bright Tinder', if there is no accident, she will inherit the mantle of the God of Light in the future."

Gu Shen knew the meaning of Chu Ling's words.

He is Hades.

Mencius is light.

The two are like water and fire. According to the development of the predecessors Guangming and Pluto... I am afraid that I and Meng Xizhou will fight each other sooner or later.

Of course he doesn't want to become enemies with Meng Xizhou, but sometimes, fate is like this, and he can't help himself. It's not what he wants or doesn't want to decide.

Since I am already the successor of "Pluto Tinder", it is better to minimize the contact with Meng Xizhou as much as possible.

The reason why Mu Wanqiu opened his mouth to remind himself earlier.

Also for this reason.

I'm afraid that she was surrounded by people before, and when she was sitting here, she had already felt the gaze of the Goddess of Light——

"Mr. Gu..."

Meng Xizhou smiled, she knew the etiquette of Dongzhou.

Gu Shen did not shake hands, but bowed. Meng Xizhou was not angry at all, but bowed and bowed with the same standard, and turned back.

Her voice is as graceful as the sounds of nature, and every word seems to be blessed by light, which makes people feel calm and like a spring breeze.

"I'd like to ask you to go out for a while, okay?"

Straight to the point.

Gu Shen sighed slightly in his heart... The style of this goddess of light is so direct, without even a little tact.

"please."

On this occasion, with so many people watching, he naturally had no room for refusal.

If you really want to make two arguments, the identity of Meng Xizhou, the Goddess of Light... is actually more noble than the previous Grand Duke Xiangchen.

……

……

While everyone was watching, Meng Xizhou and Gu Shen left the table together, and went to the private room beside the banquet hall, a certain elegant and quiet separate living room. The two waiters led the way and closed the door to leave.

"Miss Meng, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to meet me in front of so many people?"

Gu Shen opened his mouth first.

He kept a certain distance, and was still a little vigilant at the moment.

Today's banquet is a banquet for Beizhou to showcase the "Traveler's Achievements". Logically speaking...Meng Xizhou is a big shot in Bright City, so he should not be eligible to join the club.

"Her Majesty, what is inappropriate?"

Meng Xizhou said calmly: "Since I can come to this banquet hall, it means that Her Majesty has allowed it."

Not to mention, a private appointment... Her Majesty the Empress saw everything she said and did when she came here.

There are no secrets under the throne of God.

That's it.

"Actually, I arrived in Beizhou on the eve before you went to the Doru River. It's just that I'm here, with no relatives and no reason. No matter who I want to see, everyone hides from me..."

Meng Xizhou smiled self-deprecatingly, and said: "I heard that Mr. Gu has a very close relationship with the Nagano Gu family, so I took the liberty to ask for a meeting today...Compared with making an appointment in private, I think it's better to make an invitation in front of everyone. Appropriate."

Hearing this, Gu Shen was relieved a lot.

Nagano Gu Family...

He probably understood the purpose of this goddess, who made an appointment with him today.

"You are looking for me... because of regretting the marriage?" Gu Shen asked uncertainly.

"Yes... and not only."

"Because of 'repentant marriage', I was imprisoned in Guangming City, and God ordered me not to go out."

Meng Xizhou smiled and said with a low eyebrow: "And this time I came to Central City, I ran out 'sneaky'. Maybe in a few days, I will be taken back by force, and during this time, I need to find a Send a letter to someone you can trust."

Gu Shen thought about it.

Meng Xizhou has a distinguished status in Guangming City, but when he arrives in Beizhou, although he is treated with courtesy, there is no so-called "trustworthy" person who can be entrusted to him.

Wait a minute... She wants to find someone to deliver the letter.

"It can't be me?" Gu Shen suddenly had a headache.

And the gaze of Xi Yi from the opposite side almost confirmed this conjecture.

"Sorry... Maybe you don't know the whole picture of this matter, please allow me to explain in detail."

Meng Xizhou's eyes were a little complicated.

She said hoarsely: "Many years ago, Beizhou and Xizhou were inseparable 'allies'. On the front line of the fort, Guangming City and the Beizhou royal family once fought bloody battles and made alliances with blood. The relationship has been maintained for hundreds of years... Only in recent years, the trust relationship between the two parties has begun to shake, and the two clans have made an agreement with each other for the development of each other, and entered into a marriage contract. One end of the marriage contract is me from Guangming City, and The other end is Lin Lin from the Lin royal family."

Gu Shen rubbed his eyebrows and listened patiently.

"It's just that...the relationship between the two major clans is shaken, and marriage can't solve it."

Meng Xizhou said seriously: "Whether it's Beizhou or Guangming City...there are fundamental problems at the root. Even if I marry that Mr. Lin, it may not make things better. Of course, That's not the most important reason why I regret my marriage."

"I want to destroy this marriage, and more importantly—"

Meng Xizhou looked at Gu Shen with a solemn expression, and said word by word: "I already belong to him in my heart. His serial number in Beizhou is 'CN021'."

Gu Shen was completely silent.

He knew that as a "postman", he seemed to have to be a postman.

Because of the "CN021" in Meng Xizhou's mouth, there is another name in Dongzhou.

His name is Gu Nanfeng.
