Chapter 1774

When he parted ways with Ye Mi, it was already evening. Gu Chen did not return to the Tang manor directly. Instead, he followed Limitless Tyrant Dragon around Pei Du.

As the capital of a country, Pei Du had always been prosperous and even had the reputation of being a city that never sleeps.

However, in recent days, the streets had become much quieter before midnight. Many families had their doors and windows closed, and the number of soldiers patrolling outside had increased.

Luo Gate's sudden disappearance deeply affected Pei Nation's situation. Even though it was Gu Chen's first time in Pei Du, he could feel the changes in Pei Du.

"Did you hear? Recently, Mist Kingdom has been moving at the border. It seems like they are gathering a large army to attack Pei Nation! "

"Damn it! Mist Kingdom has always been ambitious. Isn't it enough that they gave up three of Pei Nation's counties thirty years ago? "

"Mist Kingdom has always been greedy. If we didn't ally with Ze Kingdom thirty years ago, they would have lost far more than just three counties. Now that Luo Gate has suddenly disappeared, it is rumored that Luo Gate's great prophet predicted that Pei Nation's fate is coming to an end, so he found another place for Luo Gate. There are even rumors that Luo Gate has joined Mist Kingdom. I wonder if this is true? "

"Sigh, haven't Luo Gate and Pei Nation's royal family always been on the same side? Now that even Luo Gate has left, does that mean Pei Nation is really facing a calamity? "

In the restaurants and alleys that were still open, Gu Chen could occasionally hear news about Pei Nation's current situation, some of which were 'insider information' that he did not know himself.

The Mist Kingdom and the Pei Kingdom were both part of the Seven Great Kingdoms under the banner of the Dacheng Dynasty, but they had always been bad neighbors.

Mist Kingdom was strong and had a strong martial culture. Pei Nation was weaker, but it was a famous granary, so it had always been coveted.

The two kingdoms had many wars in history, and Pei Nation lost more than it won, losing a lot of territory one after another.

Now that Pei Nation's number one sect, Luo Gate, had suddenly disappeared, Mist Kingdom naturally thought it was an opportunity to cause trouble.

Gu Chen knew the truth about Luo Gate's disappearance. It was originally a helpless measure to resist Fang Yuan. The rumors in the market were pure nonsense and laughable.

However, the people of the Pei Nation did not know the truth, and the people of the Luo Sect could not come out and tell the truth, so it gave the people with ulterior motives a chance to take advantage of it …

"The fate of the nation is coming to an end? The Luo Gate sided with the Mist Kingdom? The best strategy is to attack the hearts of the people. If the hearts of the Pei Kingdom's citizens scatter, the Mist Kingdom will probably win every battle against the Pei Kingdom. If that happens, the Pei Kingdom's royalty will be finished. "

Gu Chen pondered. The Great Prophet had once asked him about the Pei Nation's royal family. He wasn't too interested in the life and death of the Pei Nation's royal family, but he was quite interested in the item that the Great Prophet had mentioned that the royal family possessed.

"This Mist Kingdom is truly audacious, daring to borrow power for everything. If the Luo Gate has really sided with the Mist Kingdom, then the Mist Kingdom will be destroyed overnight. "

The Unbounded Tyrannosaurus Rex had also heard the rumors and guessed the possible originator of the rumors, but it snorted in disdain.

Gu Chen understood its meaning. With Fang Yuan's current power and influence, if Qiankun Group really believed the rumors and thought that the missing Luo Gate had sided with the Mist Kingdom, then the wrath of Qiankun Group would not be something a small kingdom could withstand.

However, the matter of Fang Yuan coveting the Luo Gate Great Prophecy Technique was very secretive. The Mist Kingdom might not know about it, and they might not know that they had caused great trouble.

"Master wants to use the disappearance of the Luo Gate to get close to Qiankun Group, but the appearance of the Mist Kingdom might affect the plan, right?" the Unbounded Tyrannosaurus Rex probed Gu Chen.

"There are over a hundred dynasties in the Primordial Dao World, and the sects and aristocratic families are even more complicated. If a mere Mist Kingdom can affect the plan, then how can we face the wind and waves and fight against that Fang Yuan? "

Gu Chen glanced at the Unbounded Tyrannosaurus Rex and continued walking forward with his hands behind his back.

The Unbounded Tyrannosaurus Rex understood his meaning. It bared its sharp teeth and quickly followed.

By the time Gu Chen returned to the Tang Manor, it was already late at night.

Just as he arrived at the courtyard he lived in, a person suddenly emerged from the grass beside him.

"Brother Chen, you're finally back. I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

It was Tang Jianqing, whom he had not seen for several days. He held a jade box in his hand and walked forward with bright eyes.

"Young Master Tang, why are you squatting here?" Gu Chen asked calmly.

"I was ordered by my father to give you a gift, Brother Chen. Who would have thought that you would only return at this hour?" Tang Jianqing smiled bitterly, feeling somewhat uneasy.

After Gu Chen settled down in the Tang Manor, he had actually wanted to find him the next day to familiarize him with Pei Du.

However, for some reason, his father had ordered him not to approach Gu Chen for the time being, so he could only maintain his distance.

Until today, when his father suddenly summoned him and inexplicably asked him to give him a gift, he was finally able to see Gu Chen again.

He did not know if Gu Chen would be dissatisfied with his absence for a few days, so he was especially perturbed.

He had seen Shao Heyang's death with his own eyes. He wanted to rope Gu Chen in, but he also respected him.

"Oh? Why are you giving me a gift? "Gu Chen pretended not to know.

"It's a greeting gift from the consecrator. My father said that when the two consecrators were hired, the Tang Family gave them valuable gifts. As the third consecrator of the Tang Family, Brother Chen's gifts cannot be ignored, "Tang Jianqing explained and respectfully handed over the jade box with both hands.

"I'll accept the gift. I'm a little tired today, so I won't be receiving you, Young Master Tang."

Gu Chen accepted the jade box without hesitation and went straight into the small courtyard. He had no intention of chatting with Tang Jianqing.

"Then I'll take my leave." Tang Jianqing was slightly embarrassed, but he was also relieved. He respectfully excused himself.

These days, there were many complaints about the new consecrator in the manor. Although he knew that Gu Chen was strong, he did not have the right to speak. There were some things that his father did not allow him to tell others in detail.

He waited until midnight today and was a little worried that Gu Chen had left without saying goodbye. Fortunately, he came back in the end.

As for his father's attitude towards the new consecrator, he had already made it clear through the gift. No matter how stupid he was, he knew what it meant to him.

The consecrator had a lot of influence on the family, and the third consecrator of the Tang Family was invited by him. He was also the most familiar with him, which meant that his position in the Tang Family had risen.

Tang Jianqing left at ease. After entering the small courtyard, Limitless Tyrannosaurus Dragon teased, "It seems like the Tang Family's Patriarch has finally acknowledged master as a consecrator."

"I'm afraid it's more fear than approval."

Gu Chen smiled and casually opened the jade box.

At the top of the box was a crystal ticket. With this crystal ticket, one could receive a full amount of Dao crystal from any of the Nine Great Dao Courts.

The face value of this crystal ticket was fifty thousand, which meant that it could be exchanged for a whole fifty thousand Dao crystal. Compared to the one thousand Dao crystal that Tang Xuanci had received during the day, it was many times more generous.

Even for a prestigious family like the Tang Family, fifty thousand Dao crystal was definitely not a small amount. It was enough to affect the operation of the Tang Family!

However, the crystal ticket was secondary. Gu Chen picked up the crystal ticket and found that there was another item in the box.
