The two hugged each other, warm and touching, and silent.
Ji Lanchu was visibly thinner, she crawled into Gu Chen's arms like a frightened rabbit, and hugged him tightly.
The two haven't seen each other for nearly a year, and in this year, too many things happened!
The Manchu royal family in Central China was wiped out, whether Lan Chu's father or elder brother, all relatives died.
Gu Chen didn't know how Lan Chu spent this year, but she not only had to bear the pain of losing her loved ones, but also had to avoid the pursuit of her enemies everywhere, so you can imagine how difficult it was to live.
Gu Chen also experienced the years of fleeing everywhere, so he felt sorry for Ji Lanchu even more.
He hugged her, only hoping to give her enough comfort.
"Gu Chen, my father is dead, my mother is dead, and my brother is also dead..."
Ji Lanchu's tears could no longer hold back, and she choked up.
During the past year, she has been trying her best to pretend to be strong, even the night she escaped from Luoyang, she tried her best not to let her tears flow.
She didn't want to show weakness, and didn't want her enemies to feel happy about it.
She thought she was strong enough, but when she came to the White Whale Mansion after several twists and turns, she couldn't help crying the moment she saw Gu Chen.
Just like a child who dares to cry bitterly only when she is around her relatives, for her, the current Gu Chen is the little bit of warmth in the dark world, and when she is by his side, she no longer wants to have any pretense, she just wants to cry to her heart's content .
"I know, you still have me."
Gu Chen said softly, Ji Lanchu heard his gentle and magnetic voice, but cried even more fiercely, the pear blossoms were raining.
She cried in his arms for a long time, and finally fell asleep directly, which shows how tired she was after holding on for a long time.
Gu Chen came to his room with Lan Chu in his arms, gently put her on the bed, and covered her with the quilt carefully for fear of waking her up.
He originally wanted to leave the room, but found that Lan Chu was holding his hand tightly in his sleep, lest he might lose it.
Gu Chen sighed, feeling even more distressed, and silently accompanied her for a long time.
When she fell into a deep sleep, Gu Chen quietly let go of her hand and walked out of the room.
"The old cow has seen its master!"
Qingniu outside the house had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Gu Chen, he said excitedly.
It came here with Ji Lanchu, and was very excited to see Gu Chen, but seeing the deep affection between the two, it didn't dare to disturb it, and it didn't dare to talk to it until now.
"Thank you for saving her."
Gu Chen said gratefully.
When Huangfu Wuji rebelled, if Qingniu hadn't rescued Lan Chu in time, I'm afraid he would never see her again, and he would regret for a lifetime.
The green bull helped him a lot, and he knew what it wanted.
The other party once wanted to be loyal to him, but at that time it had just betrayed Huangfu Qingming, so Gu Chen could hardly trust it.
However, it saved Lan Chu from the hands of Huangfu's family, and protected her from fleeing around this year, which is enough to prove its sincerity.
"You can stay here from now on." Gu Chen said.
"Thank you master, thank you master!"
When Qingniu heard this, he was so excited that he almost raised his head to the sky and howled.
Gu Chen glared at it, motioning for it not to wake Lan Chu, and then it quickly quieted down.
"Tell me about what happened this year."
Gu Chen took the green cow away from the residence, and then asked.
Qingniu quickly told the truth about what happened in the past year.
The specific events were not very different from Gu Chen's imagination. Qingniu rescued Ji Lanchu from under the eyes of the imperial family, and was hunted down continuously.
Fortunately, its skills are indeed superb, and it has saved the day from danger many times, but it still doesn't know where to go.
The reason why it rescued Ji Lanchu was to express its loyalty to Gu Chen, but at that time Gu Chen was trapped in the body of the white whale, and it was rumored that he was dead, which made it and Ji Lanchu almost give up hope.
It wasn't until Gu Chen made a comeback at the enthronement ceremony that they found out about this, and they regained hope and wanted to find him.
However, Gu Chen was wanted by the whole continent, and his whereabouts were elusive. They went through many twists and turns, but they still couldn't find him.
Later, when the Jiang family's life masters arrived, they knew about Gu Chen's plan, so they came eastward from Kyushu, thinking that he was most likely to appear here.
"Master became the Emperor of Heaven and wiped out the Underworld Palace. Recently, his reputation has spread all over Kyushu, and everyone is talking about it. We learned that the master's army is in the White Whale Mansion, so we sneaked across the border of Youzhou, and finally arrived. Here, the master has been found."
"My master doesn't know that there are now three million troops stationed in Youzhou, and it is too difficult to cross the border."
"Princess Lanchu has suffered a lot along the way. She is really a strong woman."
Qingniu sighed with emotion.
"It's really hard work for you."
Gu Chen said sincerely that the experience of Lanchu and Qingniu this year was more tortuous than he imagined, but fortunately, they are now by his side.
"By the way, Master, we met Jiang Yu when we were in Youzhou, and he told us where is the safest way to cross the border."
Qingniu said.
"Oh? Brother Jiang, is there anything to gain?"
Gu Chen's heart moved, it stands to reason that the prophet Jiang Yu, who is looking for reincarnated people, should personally do it, and the efficiency should be the highest.
However, now he has completed the first two most difficult steps in the plan, but Jiang Yu never brought back any good news, which made him a little worried.
"Jiang Yu is looking for someone under the order of the master? He asked me to tell the master that the person you want to find, the master, is a bit special. He has used countless divinations to deduce the location of the other party, but the information he obtained is always confusing."
"Because others haven't found it yet, so I have no face to come to see the owner and will continue to search."
Gu Chen frowned when he heard that, this reincarnation undisciplined person searched twice but failed to find it. He didn't expect that even the number one sage in the mainland would take such a long time to make a move. What's going on?
"Brother Jiang, why do you do this? If you can't find him, it's fine to come back first. I need him right now." Gu Chen shook his head.
The coalition forces of the five races are about to start a war with Huangfu Wuji, and now both sides are preparing for the battle urgently, and what Gu Chen lacks the most is a think tank.
Jiang Yu is extremely smart and proficient in the way of fate. He is the most suitable candidate for Gu Chen's military adviser. At this time, he is here, which is much more useful than looking for reincarnated people.
"Although that kid Jiang Yu is young, his talent for destiny is indeed outstanding. According to Lao Niu, he has more potential than any generation of prophets in the Jiang family. He has arrogance in his bones, and he probably doesn't want to return empty-handed. Are you disappointed?"
Qingniu said, and added. "Although he hasn't come back for the time being, he found Lao Niu. In addition to telling Lao Niu how to cross the border to reach the White Whale Mansion, he also asked the old man to bring the master a tip."
"Oh? What tips?" Gu Chen asked in surprise.
With a blink of the blue bull's eyes, a small kit was suspended in mid-air.
"Jiang Yu said that the things in the kit can help you win the first battle, Master."
Gu Chen was very interested when he heard that, so he couldn't help but unwrapped the kit, only to find that there was only a note inside.
There were only four words "Qianlian Shengzong" written on the note. Seeing this, Gu Chen's eyes fluctuated slightly, and he fell into deep thought.
