Kill demons and eliminate demons, gain 60 years of skill at the beginning

Chapter 27 Zhou Qing
Gu Chen stood in front of the door, looking at the gilded plaque on the door not far away, on which were written two large characters: Zhou Mansion.

This is one of the most prosperous streets in the inner city of Tiandu, and the people who can live here are basically those who hold real power in Daxia.

He took out the letter given by Zhou Rang, compared it, and after confirming that it was correct, he walked forward, and the guards guarding the gate immediately stopped him.

There were two guards standing in front of the door. Gu Chen watched his aura. If he expected it to be correct, these two guards should have a cultivation level no less than that of Tongmai.

Although the Tongmai state is only the fourth state of martial arts, the road to martial arts is extremely difficult. It takes more than ten years to build the foundation alone. Most of the warriors in the world basically stay in the first three states of martial arts.

Even if it is Gu Chen, without the blessing of the panel, it will take at least several years of hard work to reach the state of Tongmai.

And a martial artist in the Tongmai state can at least be a seventh-rank official in Daxia, and those with stronger talents and strengths are good enough to serve as the governor in Jingtiansi.

But right now, these two warriors at the Tongmai Realm can only guard the gate. This also means that at Gu Chen's level, when he comes to the Zhou Mansion, he is a gatekeeper, which is at the same level as Zhang Bo, the concierge of the Gu Mansion.

From this, it can be seen that the status gap between the two parties is really huge.

Without Zhou Rang's letter, Gu Chen would have no chance to stand here.

Immediately, Gu Chen took out the letter, handed it to the guard, and said, "Please inform me that there is a letter from Mr. Zhou."

"Hold on."

The guard glanced at the letter. After receiving it, he opened the door and walked in. Another guard stayed in front of the door to guard Gu Chen.

Not long after, the previous guard went back and said to Gu Chen, "Please follow me."

"it is good."

Gu Chen nodded, and under the leadership of the guards, he walked into the Zhou Mansion.

After entering the door, the area inside is wider than it looks from the outside, and the line of sight is extremely wide. In the courtyard, as far as the eye can see, there are pavilions, pavilions, rockery, lush green plants, lush vegetation, like a royal garden. scene.

Although Gu's Mansion is also a house with three entrances and three exits, compared with this place, it is no different from a cesspit and a villa.

The inner city is very expensive, and housing prices are much more expensive than the outer city. This is one of the most prosperous streets in the inner city. If you want to buy such a huge mansion here, money alone is useless , and most importantly have the right to.

"This is really prosperous." Seeing all the scenes in front of him, Gu Chen couldn't help but secretly sighed in his heart, with his current salary, even if Gu Chengfeng's was added, he wouldn't be able to afford such a residence in ten lifetimes.

The mansion is very vast. Under the leadership of the guards, the two turned around and walked through several corridors to the main hall of the mansion.

Above the main seat in the hall, there was a black-haired man with a majestic face, an upright body, thick eyebrows and big eyes sitting there, looking down at the letter sent by Gu Chen.

After the guards brought Gu Chen here, they retreated quietly.

Gu Chen stood in the hall, secretly looking at the middle-aged man sitting on the main seat. He was wearing an official uniform, with a mirror embroidered on his chest, and the edges were dotted with light golden textures. The official uniform of the mirror bearer.

For second-level mirror holders, the mirror on the chest is silver-rimmed, and for third-level mirror holders, it is copper-rimmed.

The middle-aged man in front of him is Zhou Rang's eldest son, named Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing inherited a part of Zhou Rang's character. He is honest and fair, and he does things aboveboard. At the same time, he has a tough temper and is jealous of evil. He dislikes those who are corrupt and pervert the law the most in his life. miserable.

In Zhou Qing's eyes, no matter whether you are a prince or a nobleman or a minister of the town, as long as you violate the laws of Daxia, you will be treated equally, and you will be directly arrested by him and sent to the prison of the Mingjing Department.

Having been in a high position for a long time, Zhou Qing has naturally developed the aura of a superior person. In addition, he himself is a master of the seventh level of martial arts, and a master of the Gang Qi level. There is a heavy pressure on people, like a mountain, and people are a little out of breath.

When many officials were interrogated by Zhou Qing, it was precisely because they couldn't bear the pressure that most of the time they would confess by themselves, and Zhou Qing didn't need to use too many means.

"Gu Chen?"

Zhou Qing raised his head slightly, and looked down at Gu Chen with majestic eyes, his face was cold and hard, his facial features were sharp and angular, and there was no smile at all.

"It's the subordinate."

Gu Chen lowered his head and cupped his fists, his tone was respectful, the disparity in status between the two sides was too great, Zhou Qing was equivalent to Jing Tiansi's commander, a person of this level was never seen by Gu Chen in the past, and the two sides had no chance to meet at all.

In Daxia, Zhou Qing was definitely considered a front-line figure.

Even if the two parties are not in the same system, if Zhou Qing wants to deal with Gu Chen, he can have a hundred ways in an instant.

Zhou Qing silently looked at Gu Chen below, without saying a word. He was clear about his father's character, and he also knew the purpose of asking Gu Chen to send him a letter, which was to give him a chance to support Gu Chen.

But at the height of Zhou Qing, Gu Chen is really too inconspicuous. Great Xia has a vast land and rich resources, and it is the most powerful country in Kyushu. There are not many who can achieve something, or catch his eyes, after so many years.

He knew that Zhou Rang intended him to support Gu Chen, but in Zhou Qing's view, not everyone was worthy of Zhou Qing's support, and Zhou Qing could see him, and he didn't have that kind of character.

At least, what Gu Chen has done so far is far from enough.

It's not that Zhou Qing looks down on Gu Chen, but that's the truth.

Zhou Qing didn't speak, and Gu Chen naturally couldn't speak, so he could only stand there with his head down. At this moment, his muscles all over his body were tense, and his skin under his clothes even had goose bumps, because of the pressure Zhou Qing brought to him. It is getting bigger and bigger, like a big mountain, from far to near, oppressing him little by little.

The gap in strength between the two is also huge. The difference in martial arts becomes more and more as you go to the later stage. A master like Zhou Qing who is in the seventh realm of martial arts doesn't need to take action himself if he wants to defeat Gu Chen. He just relies on his own momentum. Will suffice.

Gu Chen also understood that Zhou Qing was deliberately testing him, and only after passing this test would he be qualified to talk to Zhou Qing.

I don't know how long it has passed, but when Gu Chen's forehead was about to be sweated, Zhou Qing finally spoke.

"I've read the contents of the letter, and I know what my father means. You saved Ning Cheng, which is equivalent to saving my father's life. I don't like to owe people. If you need anything, you can say Come out, of course, you should have heard of my character, if you are planning to repay your kindness, if you dream of such a thing as reaching the sky in one step, then you can avoid it, go back where you came from."

At the same time Zhou Qing opened his mouth, the pressure on Gu Chen's body instantly disappeared, and he suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. Gu Chen raised his head, looked at Zhou Qing who was sitting at the top, with clear eyes, and said neither humble nor overbearing: " Mr. Zhou, the officer didn't intend to plan anything, but Mr. Zhou entrusted me to send a letter to the lord. Now that the letter has been delivered, if there is nothing else, the officer will leave first."

Gu Chen is not stupid, he can see that Zhou Qing doesn't like him at all, of course, he also understands, if it were him, it might be the same as Zhou Qing's reaction, how could the dragon care about ants?

What's more, Gu Chen never thought that he would be able to climb up the relationship with Zhou Qing and reach the sky one step further. He believed that with his own potential, one day he would be able to reach Zhou Qing's height, or even higher.

All he lacks now is time.

Of course, Gu Chen appreciated Zhou Rang's kindness, otherwise he would not have accepted this commission.

Hearing Gu Chen's answer, Zhou Qing's heart was still as calm as water, and he couldn't make any waves. He looked at Gu Chen expressionlessly, and said, "If that's the case, then you should retreat."

It didn't matter to him whether Gu Chen asked or not, and he wouldn't value him because of Gu Chen's answer.

"Yes."

Gu Chen nodded, then turned and left.
