Changye?

This was asking for his death!

Zhong Gui looked at the hand outstretched by the man… thinking that it wasn't a hand at all, but a shackle sending him into the abyss!

He tried desperately to escape, but this seemingly thin and weak guy’s palm was stronger than metal, holding him so tightly that he couldn't move!

Zhong Gui looked at the Madame with a terrified expression.

Nothing is more poisonous than a woman's heart… this woman was even more ruthless and fierce than the rumors said, even more so than a man. Even if the Awakening Act project team was no longer functioning, even if he was a waste product, he could at least be recycled and used.

He had only taken over the Flower Banner for a day, and Lu Nanzhi was already sending him to Changye, even finding someone to hand him over to!

Zhong Gui wanted to cry, but had no tears.

Finally.

He looked towards Gu Shen for help.

Gu Shen returned an apologetic, helpless expression… In Zhong Gui's view, this guy's hateful face clearly read, "Don't look at me, I'm not a good person."

……

……

"The matter is, roughly, like this…"

Ten minutes later.

Zhong Gui looked at Gu Shen with an uncertain expression, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"You're saying… Gu Changzhi's Apostle has appeared? The construction of 'Qingzhong' wasn't a waste?"

Life is unpredictable, great sorrow turning into great joy. He still couldn't accept it, his heart pounding wildly… For a moment, Zhong Gui thought he was going to be sent to Changye, to be jointly tried by the old and new factions who couldn't wait to devour him.

Just thinking about the "good deeds" he had done in Changye… he even wanted to fight Gu Nanfeng to the death in despair.

He would rather fall here.

Than be dragged to Changye!

"That's right. The implementation of the Qingzhong Act has been effective… although it was a bit late." Gu Shen said in a comforting tone, "Looking at it this way, your luck seems to be pretty good."

As he spoke, a wisp of burning flame appeared between Gu Shen's eyebrows, the small flame staring at Zhong Gui, observing the guy's "mental fluctuations."

Zhong Gui still looked like he was facing a great enemy, gritting his teeth and saying, "I'm not going to Changye… After Qingzhong was built, both factions there hated me to the bone. Even if the old faction doesn't pursue my responsibilities now… the ruthless people of the new faction won't let me go."

"You won't go even if you're beaten to death? Really?" Gu Shen asked calmly.

"I won't go even if I'm beaten to death…" Zhong Gui's expression suddenly changed, looking at the wisp of flame that had appeared in Gu Shen's palm, he said in horror, "You're not really going to do it, are you?"

"If you insist on staying in Dadu… it seems we have no choice." Gu Shen said calmly, "The New World project has been abolished. Now, Flower Banner and Nanwan are working together to keep the Awakening Act out of Dongzhou… Judging the situation should be your strength, do you understand what I mean?"

Zhong Gui was stunned.

He narrowed his eyes, carefully pondering Gu Shen's words in his heart.

In fact, his coming to Dadu to improve the Awakening Act, and his going to Changye to build Qingzhong in the first place, were not his first wishes… Under the pressure of the situation, Xing Yun had no choice.

He didn't care whether Qingzhong was built or not, nor did he care whether the Act was promoted or not.

In other words… he was a weathervane.

He would lean towards whichever side was stronger.

Under the circumstances, he only sought to protect himself.

And now, the storm in Dadu seemed to have passed, and the situation was quite clear.

"Let me introduce him again… Gu Nanfeng, the future head of the Gu family designated by the Tomb Keeper, was sent to the fortress by the old faction eight years ago, and has just returned from Beizhou." Gu Shen said slowly, but before he could finish his sentence.

*Thump!*

Everyone was startled by the sound.

They saw Zhong Gui kneeling on one knee, grabbing Gu Nanfeng's hand with both hands, his face full of sincerity, his voice firm and powerful, his bones of steel: "This subordinate is willing to do his best for Young Master Gu!"

Gu Nanfeng: "???"

"So you are the future young master of Changye. As expected, you are a dragon among men. From the first moment I saw you, I felt that you had an extraordinary temperament and outstanding style!" Zhong Gui couldn't wait to stick his face to the other party's ass, and said, "To be honest, I ran relatively fast after the Qingzhong Act was implemented, so it's a pity that we didn't meet… But in fact, I am loyal to the old faction, and even more loyal to you, Young Master. As long as you give an order, this subordinate will go through fire and water without frowning!"

Gu Nanfeng fell into a long silence.

In the eight years at the Beizhou Fortress… he had never really seen this kind of stuff.

"When do we leave?"

Zhong Gui asked with a hearty laugh, "I can't wait to spill the blood in my chest on the red soil of Changye!"

A tree without bark is bound to die, a person without shame is invincible… Gu Shen thought with emotion that there was a reason why Zhong Gui could survive to this day under the gaze of so many important figures.

This guy's skin was so thick, it was one in a million, comparable to the giant wall of the fortress.

As soon as he introduced Gu Nanfeng's identity, Zhong Gui immediately clung to him… obviously, this was a thicker thigh than the Dongzhou Grand Arbiter that was easier to hug.

Xing Yun's thinking was very simple.

Instead of waiting in the Flower Banner Building for Lu Nanzhi, this ruthless woman, to slowly arrange for him, he might as well take the initiative to volunteer to go to Changye. Although there were risks, returning with the "future head of the family" designated by the Tomb Keeper would be treated as an honored guest by the old faction and enjoy preferential treatment.

The cause planted by the Qingzhong Act many years ago.

Has finally yielded fruit today.

Gu Shen looked at Zhong Gui, who was full of smiles and thought he had made it through, and felt a little amused in his heart… If this guy knew that Song Ci's Apostle's relic came from Light City in Xizhou, what would his reaction be?

……

……

With everything settled.

The teacher rushed to the Beizhou Fortress to rescue Senior Sister Luo of the [Heavenly Eye].

Gu Shen and his group stayed in Dadu for one night, and before leaving, they each dealt with their final private matters.

Gu Shen went to the hospital to see Song Ci.

Due to the burning of the relic, Song Ci was still covered in bandages and couldn't speak or open his eyes… These days, many people came to visit this "Dongzhou Newcomer" with gifts.

The only one who came empty-handed was Gu Shen.

"I'm going to Changye tomorrow." After Gu Shen arrived, he just smiled and sat on the bedside, "I'll take a look at the scenery in Jiangbei for you, and take care of Little Lu, if anyone tries to hit on her, I'll let that guy taste the taste of my fist… just like hitting Zhao Qi."

Song Ci's face under the bandages twitched, revealing a smile.

The memories of drinking and laughing in the old city seemed to still be yesterday.

So fast… they were about to say goodbye.

Song Ci tried hard to open his eyes, and his blurry eyes were a little dim.

"Take good care of yourself, you are now the only [Apostle] in Dongzhou!" Gu Shen smiled and said, "Do you know what people outside are calling you? Not Crow… but Song Baiying (Song White Parrot)!"

White Parrot.

A pure white parrot, with divine wings on its back, blooming like a dazzling sun.

Those who had seen Song Ci display the Apostle's divine power would never forget that shocking scene for the rest of their lives.

The man on the hospital bed smiled with difficulty, his lips moving.

He was trying hard to say something.

It was two words.

Bullshit.

Bullshit Song White Parrot, bullshit Apostle… he was just Song Ci, just Crow, he didn't want to have any burdens in front of Gu Shen!

Gu Shen smiled.

"Don't worry, next time we meet… I will also become stronger."

He said softly, "I will catch up soon, very soon."
