Chapter 205

On the verdant hill, the cool breeze blows gently, bringing the long-lost ease and comfort.

Gu Chen woke up from meditation, and when he opened his eyes, a beautiful and refined figure was standing on the edge of the cliff in front of him, looking at the rolling mountains in the distance.

Green mountains and green waters, stunning beauties, complement each other.

Gu Chen got up and walked towards Ji Lanchu.

It has been a few days since they narrowly escaped from the Valley of the Rage Gods. They escaped from the Middle-Earth Empire, and finally they didn't have to be hunted all day long, and they got a few days of leisure.

The days of battles, especially in the Valley of the Gods, took a lot of wear and tear, and the two of them have been silently healing for the past few days.

The injuries on Gu Chen's body have almost healed, only there are some sequelae left by the secret method of "Spiritual Decryption", and he is still a little mentally exhausted.

Ji Lanchu had also recovered more than half, and it was time for the two of them to discuss what to do next.

snore.

The white ape was sleeping with the colorful little tree he found from the Rage God Valley, snoring like thunder.

Gu Chen passed by it, and Ji Lanchu immediately noticed that he was awake, turned around and smiled.

That smile is really like a hundred flowers blooming, the wild flowers all over the mountain can't match the temperament of this girl who is a disaster for the country and the people.

"What are you going to do next?"

Gu Chen walked to her side, and the two stood side by side.

The breeze was blowing, blowing his black hair messy.

Although Ji Lanchu fled Kyushu, the influence of the middle-earth royal family and the imperial family spread all over the continent, and for her, the matter was not over yet.

What's more, it is not easy for a girl to live alone.

"The sky is high enough for birds to fly, and the sea is wide enough for fish to leap. The world is so big, I want to go for a walk."

Ji Lanchu smiled sweetly.

"Oh."

Gu Chen looked disapproving.

It seems that although the two confided their hearts in the Valley of the Gods, the princess still had reservations about herself after she escaped the danger.

Ji Lan stared sideways at Gu Chen's disapproving look, and Qiu Shui's bright eyes were slightly disappointed.

"Next, I plan to take a walk in the Eastern Wilderness," she said.

"Why?" Gu Chen asked casually.

"You also know that I have always believed that the Huangfu's family is ambitious and poses a great threat to my royal family, so I have been investigating secretly."

"After my investigation, Donghuang is a special place, and the Huangfu family seems to be particularly concerned about this area."

Gu Chen's pupils shrank slightly, "For example?"

"On the surface, Huangfu's family is a famous family in Kyushu, but Huangfu Wuji privately, everyone has rumored that he is the god of the underworld of the underworld palace."

"Over the past few years, the killers of Hadeshen Palace have been very frequent in Donghuang. To put it more closely, they wiped out the thirteen sects of Fenglin Mansion a year ago for no reason. This matter is very strange."

"Four or five months ago, it was rumored that the important branch of the Underworld Palace in the White Whale Mansion was destroyed by the Heavenly Court."

Ji Lanchu said it inadvertently, but Gu Chen was surprised to hear it.

As expected of the princess of the empire, the news is so well-informed.

It's not surprising that she knew about the destruction of the Zaoshen Pavilion, but the destruction of the thirteen sects of the Fenglin Mansion, not many people knew that it was done by the Underworld Palace.

"There is one more thing that concerns me the most. About three years ago, Huangfu Wuji's fourth son, Huangfude, led a large group of people to the Eastern Wilderness. After that, except for him who came back alive, everyone else died."

"The Huangfu family suffered a huge loss, but strangely, no one knew who did it. They, who were strong in the past, didn't pursue it afterward."

"There is even a shadow of the Shen family in this matter, which makes me very curious about what is so tricky about this matter."

Ji Lanchu continued to speak, but when Gu Chen heard this, he could not help but rippling on his face!

three years ago!

Three years ago, it was the time when his father Gu Tianming disappeared.

According to what the mother later said, it was because of the awakening of the overlord of the heavens that the father resolutely left at that time, in order to avoid the pursuit of the Huangfu family and not to drag down their mother and son.

Is it just a coincidence that Huangfude happened to bring a large group of people to Donghuang at this time?

"By the way, the awakening of the heavenly overlord is such an important matter, I am afraid that the Huangfu family will not be at ease if it is not handed over to their own people. Three years ago, ninety percent of Huangfude went for his father."

"Wait, Shen family? Mother's family, isn't the surname Shen?"

Gu Chen remembered the night when he escaped from Fenglin Mansion, his mother told him to go first, and he was worried about her. Elder Nangong told him that his mother's family was not simple, and the Huangfu family did not dare to touch her easily.

At that time, everything was so hasty, Gu Chen didn't think about it carefully, leaving many doubts.

Hearing what Ji Lanchu said now, when his father disappeared three years ago, the Shen family actually had a shadow among them, which made his heart turbulent.

Could this Shen family be mother's natal family?

The members of the Huangfu family went to arrest the father, what role did they play in it?

"What is the origin of the Shen family you mentioned?"

Gu Chen couldn't help asking.

There was an obvious change in his expression, and Ji Lan was surprised when she first saw it.

Getting along with her for many days, Gu Chen seemed to her a guy who was far more indifferent than his peers. Even in the face of the immortal king who was chasing after him, he could calmly and rationally kill the opponent, which made him feel ashamed. She was overwhelmed with admiration.

But right now, he only heard a few rumors from her casually, and his expression changed unexpectedly.

She thought about the connection between Gu Chen and this matter, and answered truthfully.

"I told you before that one mansion, two courts, three families, four sages, and five sages are the 15 strongest forces in the Middle-Earth Empire apart from my royal family."

"In addition to the Ming family, there are also Confucianism and Buddhism among the three schools, and the Shen family is the head of all Confucian schools."

Gu Chen listened carefully, frowning. "Is this Confucianism strong?"

"If you simply talk about combat power, there are very few masters of Confucianism, and most of them are scholars who have no strength to restrain a chicken."

Ji Lanchu smiled and said, "But Confucianism has always been the foundation of the rule of our Middle-Earth Empire. Their thoughts have penetrated into the people of Li, and their influence is extremely huge."

"The Confucian family is headed by the Shen family, and there are also a large number of Confucian scholars who are officials in the court. Most of them are righteous and dare to fight against the emperor for the common people."

Gu Chen had been in the barren land before, and it was the first time he heard that there was such a force, he couldn't help feeling very strange.

"Since they don't have much combat power, how could they be the opponents of the monk sect? They should be easily exterminated, right?"

Ji Lanchu shook her head, "The Middle-earth Empire has a vast territory, and there are tens of billions of people in the Kyushu. Such a huge territory, without the guidance of a mainstream and suitable thought, it is difficult to maintain stability and prosperity."

"The core concepts of Confucianism, such as benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness, are in line with the requirements of the imperial court. Therefore, at the beginning of the establishment of the Middle Earth Empire, our royal family respected it as a national art."

"After countless years of development, Confucianism has long been integrated into the entire Kyushu. They are bound together with the people of Li, and they emphasize that water can carry a boat and overturn it. Do you think they are strong?"
