Chapter 17: Unknown Destination

When he came out after washing his face, he saw Zimeng and Pusheng standing together talking, the voice was so small that he couldn't hear clearly.The two of them saw Gao Xia come out and they both had a tacit understanding and didn't speak. The atmosphere was awkward for a while, and then Pusheng broke the atmosphere and asked with a smile: "Washed?"

Gao Xia was a little upset, but he didn't show it.Nodded, said: "Yes. Washed."

"Then clean up, let's go." Zimeng said, and took the lead to go out after speaking.Gao Xia came over, put down the washbasin, then looked at Pusheng, Pusheng smiled, tilted his shoulders, and followed him out.Gao Xia casually picked up the bag on the bed, and walked out after her.

In the morning on campus, there are not many people. The students nowadays are quite lazy, and there are many people skipping classes. No one wants to get up early.Even though most of them live such a lazy life, there are still a large number of people who get up every morning and insist on eating breakfast and then go to class. If there are more free and hardworking people, they will get up and run twice in the morning.

The three of them just walked out of the school gate.There was a black car parked beside them, Zimeng looked at it, opened the door and sat in, Gao Xia was wondering, looked at Pusheng, Pusheng was also puzzled, Zimeng sitting inside Stretching out his hand for them to come up, they looked at it and sat in.

As soon as they got into the car, the car started moving.The driver was a middle-aged man with a straight back. It can be seen that he must have been trained when he was young, as a soldier or something.Gao Xia saw his appearance in the mirror, long face, no beard, calm and relaxed, looking at the car driving in front of him seriously.

"Excuse me, is this Mr. Zimeng?" The middle-aged man turned his head and asked, without any special expression, but his attitude was very polite.

"Yes." Zimeng also said very calmly.

"Then thank you for your kindness. If you have any questions, you can ask me. I will answer what I can. But I have to let you endure in this narrow car for a while. I will take you to your destination and disturb you." The man said , smiled professionally.

"Yeah. It's okay. You can drive." Zimeng said, and after waiting for a while, he asked, "Are we going to your master's home or work?"

"It's to go home. My master has only come back in the past few days, so he doesn't have time to take care of those small jobs that are piled up there. He is usually at home now." The man turned his head and explained seriously.

"Oh." Zimeng replied softly, and then did not speak.When the man looked at Zimeng, he gave Pusheng and Gao Xia a pleasing glance, and smiled slightly as a greeting.Gao Xia and Pu Sheng also responded with polite smiles.

The car bypassed the school and went into the city center, and changed to the outer ring road.The man drove fast and steadily, without feeling the slightest fluctuation, like a skilled gunner.After finishing the sentence at the beginning, he didn't speak any more, and he didn't ask Zimeng about them any more. He was polite and calm, very professional.

Except for Zimeng, this man had never spoken to Gao Xiapusheng. Although he was not impolite, the sense of distance still let them know who the guest was.Pusheng couldn't bear the dull atmosphere, and began to talk to himself: "I said this car is not bad. It looks good at first glance, but I don't know how fast it is at its fastest speed." Pusheng looked Looking at Zimeng, Zimeng glanced at him expressionlessly, then turned his head away and ignored him.Gao Xia looked at him, he didn't know anything about cars, so he shook his head, expressing that he didn't know either.

At this time, the man turned 45 degrees and came back, so you can see him smiling and saying: "This car is mainly characterized by stability, and the speed is not fast. The fastest can only be [-] kilometers per hour. If Mr. Pusheng, if you are interested, you can experience it, and when we arrive at the destination, you can drive around in this car." The man smiled again after speaking, and turned his head away.

"Really? I can test drive it, there will be no restrictions? What if I accidentally break it, I can't afford it." Pusheng asked with a smile.

"Yes. It's okay. You can drive away if you want." After speaking, the man returned to his original appearance.

Pusheng was very interested in looking here and touching there, looking like he was researching.Neither Zimeng nor Gao Xia spoke, they turned their heads to look at the city's morning, this cool morning like a lake in the mountains, gave them peace and sobriety.

After driving for half an hour, the car turned into a small road with tall trees on both sides.Gao Xia thinks he must have left the city, but he really doesn't know where this suburb is, it's so beautiful.The car turned around, like driving in a maze.Looking at the scenery outside, Gao Xia turned his head a little dizzy.

The car stopped suddenly, gave each of them a blindfold, and said, "Excuse me, just to be on the safe side, please put it on."

The three of them looked at each other and put it on quickly.

The car looked at it steadily for a while, and suddenly Gao Xia heard a bird song, which was very pleasant.

"Okay." The man said.

Gao Xia looked curiously at the tall forest outside, and then asked: "Where is this place?" "Oh. This place has already entered our guild, and it will be here soon." The man said.

"This is your guild?" Pusheng asked in surprise, Gao Xia and Zimeng also turned their heads to look at the man, waiting for his answer.

"Yes. This is also our guild." The man said calmly.

"Tsk tsk, it's really big. No wonder the driver came to pick you up. I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to find the way. Even if I gave you the address, you might not be able to find it, right?" Pusheng looked at Zimeng with a smile.Zimeng looked at Pusheng and didn't answer him.Pu Sheng was also not angry, and turned his head to talk to Gao Xia.

Talking nonsense along the way, Gao Xia and Pu Sheng laughed figuratively, driving away the dull atmosphere.Zimeng didn't speak all the way, so he didn't know what he was thinking.

They saw the snow-white roof from a distance, standing there quietly just like in the painting.Slowly they approached this 'castle', similar to this front yard, which looked a bit scary, with lifelike animals carved in marble on both sides, but they didn't know what this animal with dogs and wings was .

After another 5 minutes or so, they arrived.This is a castle hidden in the forest.The tall house, the gate built with care, is as luxurious as welcoming a large number of state-level guests every day.

The man parked the car in a small room on the left, then got out of the car, walked over and opened the door, lowered his body slightly, and stretched out his hand as a gesture of invitation.Zimeng got out of the car calmly, looked at the big pillar that could only be hugged by five people, turned his head, and walked in directly.Gao Xia looked at her face that remained unchanged for thousands of years, and her calm steps, and felt that she actually had a good temperament, the kind of detached temperament that Taishan collapsed in front of her eyes without moving.

Pusheng and Gao Xia got out of the car after them, and they were stunned for a moment when they saw the tall house, then they looked around behind, and kept tsk-tsk admiring.The man closed the door after they all got down, called a boy standing aside, told him to drive away, and followed.

The man quickly overtook Gao Xia and Pusheng, walked with Zimeng, and stretched out his hand to lead them to the left after saying a few words.Gao Xia and Pu Sheng also saw that it was almost the same.In fact, those vases don't look very good-looking, and they don't understand the bottles and jars with any special meaning.Although they could know what was painted on the large curtain-like oil paintings on the wall, they didn't know what art it was, and they didn't know how much it was worth, so they just looked at it casually and followed.

After passing a living room that looked like a meeting room for a hundred people, he walked through a corridor that was so long that he couldn't see the end, and finally reached a door.The man knocked on the door lightly, then pushed the door open and went in.The man didn't go in, but opened the door, stood by the door without moving, and stretched out his hand to let Zimeng and the others in.

Zimeng glanced at him, then stepped in.Standing behind the door was another boy in formal attire, with the same expressionless expression as the male driver, but very polite and calm.Gao Xia and Pu Sheng also followed behind, glanced at him, and hurriedly followed in.

This is a very wide and large room, well decorated, the furniture is all wood, quaint as if accidentally entered the set of a large costume drama.There were more bottles and jars than they had seen outside, walking through this museum-like room into one inside.

This should be a study room, very elegant, with many green plants placed on the windows.They went in, and the boy who was walking in front stopped at a distance of five meters, and said: "Please wait here, our master will come out soon." Then he bent slightly, turned around and walked over .

Zimeng looked left and right, then stood up straight and did not speak.Gao Xia looked around and felt that this is really a good room, no matter the structure of the room, the furniture or the pillars, and even those unremarkable books placed in the corner.No matter how you look at it, the price is expensive, as if there is an invisible pressure when you enter, it instantly makes you feel majestic.It should be like the ancient imperial palace. The magnificent building will make you feel admirable and insignificant, making people afraid to be presumptuous easily, and also increasing the dignity and mystery of the owner. If you are a bad visitor, this is equivalent to a visit I'll give you a badass.

Pusheng came over, touched his arm, and said, "Does this room look familiar to you?"

"Familiar?" Gao Xia looked at him, a little confused, and asked, "How could it be familiar? This is my first time here."

Pusheng also looked around carefully, then shook his head, really unable to think of anything.

"Who do you think is the boss here?" Pusheng asked.

"I don't know." Gao Xia replied. "

"Did Zimeng tell you?" Pusheng asked in a low voice.

"Tell me what? I didn't talk to her as much as the two of you. She didn't tell me anything." Gao Xia looked at Zimengru's carved back and said.

Pusheng looked around carefully again, walked over and stared at the books on the shelves, and then he saw some books with strange names.On the leftmost side of a bookshelf against the wall, he saw a book called "Secretary SSFS Archives" and felt curious. After thinking about it, he reached out and picked it up, and opened the first page. Introduction in a language he understands, and then turn a page, and it starts with the table of contents, and the content is something he doesn't understand.Gao Xia saw that Pusheng moved the things here casually, and was a little anxious. He wanted to go over to call him, but he heard the sound of someone walking before he took two steps.If he guessed correctly, someone should have come over, and it was a small group of people.
