Barrier of Light

The four Grand Dukes of Beizhou.

Cast snow, hold down the moon, forge the sun, set with dust.

These four were personally conferred by His Majesty and enjoyed the highest treatment among the nobles of Beizhou. Except for Duke Duoyang, the other three had their own "confession".

Grand Duke Zhenyue was ordered to garrison on the west side of Beizhou's flank. The "Grand Duke's position" was inherited hereditary. Zhuxue's surname was Lin, and Duoyang's surname was also Lin. They were regarded as Beizhou's "royal relatives", but Zhenyue The Grand Duke is different.

Under the title of Zhenyue, his surname is not Lin, but Meng.

This title is a testimony of the long-term friendship between Beizhou and Xizhou, or it can be said to be a "guarantee".

The previous Grand Duke of Zhenyue had made great military exploits at the border of the fortress. He had a very high reputation and a group of loyal supporters. Unfortunately, his life was short-lived and he died young. So after the new master came to the throne... something happened in Zhenyue Fengjiang. There were several turmoils, but this new master was not a "take-no-prisoner" and quickly put them down. He was young and talented, and he had reached the fourth stage of practice at the age of more than 20.

In addition to personal strength, he also has strong commanding skills.

It can be said that he is a dragon and a phoenix among people.

"Meng Xiao will also come to Central City." Lin Silu said in a calm tone: "The incident of Meng Xizhou regretting his marriage just happened a while ago. As the elder brother, it is reasonable for him to dislike people from the Gu family in Dongzhou. Now Meng Xiao's arrogance is at its peak, so there's no problem if you invite Gu Shen on board to avoid his limelight."

"hide?"

Lin Lin sneered: "I have no intention of hiding. In Beizhou, the Lin family is the master. No matter how powerful Meng Xiao is, it's useless. He has to be coiled up like a dragon, or lying down like a tiger."

He had long heard of the evil reputation of the new Zhenyue Grand Duke Meng Xiao.

To quell the civil strife in the West Wing and suppress the unrest on the border, the young and gentle "Prince Zhenyue" had just taken office and displayed his extraordinary talents. However, to survive in this world, you need to learn to restrain your sharp edges at the right time. Sometimes they are too sharp. , but it’s not a good thing.

"Just talk about these things between you and me."

Zhuxue frowned and said, "Meng Xiao will be arriving soon... When we meet him, we will talk about the 'engagement' again."

Lin Lin narrowed his eyes, suppressed the irritation in his heart, and sat back in the chair calmly.

…

…

Gu Shen stood on the second floor of the banquet hall.

Chu Ling did not have many permissions to use, and the [monitoring] on the second floor had a double password.

Obviously, Grand Duke Zhuxue is here.

With the current ability of [Source Code], it is still impossible to sneak into the permission settings of "Grand Duke" level characters quietly, but Gu Shen can continue to move forward... This is not a forbidden area, and even if it is, Chu Ling can block some of them. [Eye of the Sky], to ensure Gu Shen's absolute safety, at least not to be discovered for a short period of time.

Lin Lin should also be on the second floor.

After taking his seat... Gu Shen had an inexplicable feeling of guidance in his heart. He always felt that he should leave the table and go to the second floor of the banquet hall for a walk. The walk here was naturally not to disturb the conversation between Zhu Xue and Lin Lin.

He walked forward slowly. Zhuxue must be very confident about the safety of [Deep Sea]. There were no guards on this floor.

Gu Shen followed the feeling in his heart and stopped in front of a private room. He did not go in, but stopped there.

The "sense of guidance" in my heart is getting stronger and stronger.

Gu Shen lowered his head slightly.

This seems to be a guide for the cross pendant?

"Someone is coming, very quickly."

Chu Ling suddenly spoke with a heavy tone.

Gu Shen turned around instantly, but only had time to see a rapidly enlarging palm.

That's not a human hand...it has five hook-like fingers, sharp claws and fangs!

"Strong attack extraordinary person!"

Gu Shen's pupils contracted, are you kidding me? This is a dinner hosted by Grand Duke Zhuxue in public. Who would take action here?

There was an explosion!

Gu Shen subconsciously used the immature [Full Flash], but the opponent was also very fast and reacted exactly the same in an instant, so the two blurry shadows trembled and shook, and they collided and smashed together!

Between the lightning and flint, a blazing fire flew out from Gu Shen's eyebrows, but was stopped by a circle of igniting golden hoops.

"Blazing Fire" cannot be used...

"The Ruler of Truth" is sealed...

Gu Shen looked calm and not panicked. He raised his hands to block in front of him. At the same time, countless biting winds swirled out of thin air, and an iron shield emerged, blocking this powerful and heavy blow!

This is the "nameless scrap iron" in the tomb in the snowy mountain in the tundra. Under the control of the [Iron Throne] ability, it can change its shape at will and can be summoned at any time... Even if the strangeness is discovered by someone who is interested, it is very difficult to explain it. Conveniently, this is a "special sealed object" controlled by mental power.

The golden light is bright and sparks are flying!

That slap was merciless and hit Gu Shen's iron shield hard...

"Buzz buzz!"

Gu Shen's knees were slightly bent as he was hit, half of his feet stepped into the ground, and a trembling sound echoed in his mind!

This palm is extremely powerful!

Only then did he clearly see the existence opposite the smoke. There were more than one figure, and the one who attacked him was an extraordinary person in the form of a half-animal. He was tall and burly, and his arms had thick hair like a giant bear.

"Quite durable..."

Among the many figures, the man standing in the middle said expressionlessly: "Bakui, do it again."

"Roar……"

Ba Kui stretched out his bear paw again, preparing to hit Gu Shen hard for the second time.

Gu Shen's eyes were gloomy.

Because of his practice of "blazing fire", his perception was compressed to a very small range... In such a peaceful and quiet banquet, he really couldn't imagine that someone would be so arrogant and ruthless when they met.

For the first blow, he was forced to defend.

If the other party is "reasonable and unforgiving", then don't blame him for not practicing martial ethics.

Gu Shen's fingers were already pressed against the ghost veil...

The wind howled.

At the moment Ba Kui rushed up, the red door between the two people suddenly shattered, and a thin figure came out of the wind. He hit Ba Kui hard with his knee and hit Ba Kui squarely in the face... This The scene happened so quickly and smoothly that it looked like Baquet himself had foolishly bumped his cheek into the opponent's kneecap.

The biting wind whimpered and echoed on the second floor of the banquet hall, and the giant bear's burly figure was thrown flying and embedded in the portrait at the end of the corridor on the second floor.

Coincidentally, the portrait depicts a giant bear standing upright in the ice and snow of Beizhou.

…

…

This sudden commotion attracted everyone's attention.

The guests on the first floor cast their gazes one after another... These people were not fools who were easily fooled. They were very familiar with what the movement on the second floor meant. The chaotic and extraordinary aura aroused the interest of the generals who were tasting wine.

What's even more interesting is the identity of the two groups of people confronting each other in the corridor filled with smoke and dust.

"Who are you?"

Gu Shen looked unkind and stared at the obscure faces on the other side of the smoke.

The leader did not respond.

Instead, he stretched out a hand, pointed at Gu Shen, and then looked at the thin figure standing in the middle: "Who is he?"

Lin Lin stood between the two groups of people.

He dusted himself off, the cigarette in his mouth still burning... embers flying.

He frowned and looked at the two "difficult guys" in front of him and behind him.

really.

Trouble will come.

Lin Lin took a long breath and said in a deep voice: "Obviously, he is my friend."

The figure in the smoke smiled silently.

He simply turned his attention to the inner end of the broken wall.

Grand Duke Zhuxue, who was sitting in the inner room drinking tea, was still calm and calm, but the broken wind kept blowing, blowing his long hair. In these few seconds of silence, Zhuxue finished thinking with a headache.

He slowly stood up and said softly: "The two of you are really destined to know each other. Let me introduce you, Mr. Meng Xiao. The person standing in front of you at this moment is Dongzhou's S-class genius, the Grand Adjudicator. Disciple, Gu Shen."

The smoke cleared.

Gu Shen finally saw the other person's face clearly, and the corresponding file appeared in his mind.

Since Zhong Yuan reminded him, he retrieved the files of all the people named Meng in Beizhou Central City and the border areas. He was very impressed by the name Meng Xiao... He is one of the four great princes in Beizhou today. , at a young age, he hereditarily inherited the position of Grand Duke of Zhenyue!

"oh……"

Meng Xiao said calmly: "I saw a sneaky figure on the second floor earlier, and thought it was a thief who had entered the house."

"Misunderstand."

Zhuxue smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao Gu is a guest, an honored guest."

He glanced meaningfully at both sides... [Deep Sea] just didn't warn him about the arrival of people on the second floor. Gu Shen did the same, and Meng Xiao did the same. It seems that these two guys have some "special means".

"Kachacha..."

On the other side, Baquet pulled his head out of the oil painting.

Lin Lin narrowed his eyes.

This guy is ridiculously thick-skinned.

After being hit with a knee by himself, he seemed to be fine... He just shook his head hard and threw out the debris on the ground, then he recovered as before and returned to Meng Xiao's side with a calm face.

"I'm really sorry……"

Meng Xiao looked at Zhuxue apologetically and said softly: "I damaged the wall on the second floor. I will pay for the subsequent repairs."

"Little things."

Zhuxue shook his head and smiled: "Tonight is the conferment banquet appointed by His Majesty. You should understand what I mean."

Meng Xiao smiled and nodded.

His eyes were locked on Gu Shen.

"I heard……"

Under the gaze of countless eyes, he walked forward with a smile and asked, "You and Gu Nanfeng have a good relationship? Is this the case?"

Gu Shen patted the dust on his body.

Just like Meng Xiao ignored him before, he also ignored Meng Xiao.

Gu Shen said calmly: "Your Excellency Zhuxue, if no one is allowed to enter this second floor, a 'warning board' should be set up. This kind of misunderstanding will not happen..."

After that, he left the second floor.

"..."

Meng Xiao's smile was slightly stiff.

The moment the two of them passed each other, Meng Xiao suddenly stretched out a hand.

"Crack."

Gu Shen's eyes suddenly turned cold.

To this day, he still doesn't know why the young Grand Duke Zhenyue is "hostile" to him... He suddenly made a move for no reason before, obviously with the intention of severely injuring himself.

The first "Iron Shield" resisted.

He heard clearly that this guy gave the order for the second attack.

Moreover... Meng Xiao had already seen his own files, so when he asked Zhuxue about his identity earlier, he was just "acting", and he just wanted to find a threshold to end this farce.

To end with the word "misunderstanding" was Gu Shen's greatest restraint tonight.

This dinner is hosted at the behest of Her Majesty the Queen.

Next, he will meet with Her Majesty the Queen and deliver Mr. Gu Changzhi's letter.

Taking ten thousand steps back, Gu Shen is by no means the kind of person who "lifts things up high and puts them down hard". After hearing Zhong Yuan's reminder at Gubao Fortress, he never thought that this matter could be solved...

…

…

This gentle stroke was not very powerful, but it contained a majestic spiritual impact.

Meng Xiao asked softly: "Brother Gu, why should you be anxious?"

He used part of his mental power to directly follow his palm and rush into Gu Shen's body.

Meng Xiao had read the file of this S-class young genius.

He is indeed gifted, but no matter how powerful he is, he is only at the seventh level of strength.

He used the mental power that was enough to suppress the "ninth level" transcendent, and wanted to teach Gu Shen a lesson.

But then, Meng Xiao's eyes looked a little surprised.

Gu Shen's expression was calm, nothing unusual... The majestic spiritual power that rushed into this young body was like a mud cow entering the sea, and instantly dissipated without a trace.

Vaguely, he seemed to see a vast wilderness.

Is that... the spiritual world?

Meng Xiao's pupils shrank slightly, and the mental energy he had poured out on his own initiative was now a little out of control. He quickly tightened his mind and woke up from the huge visualization scene.

next moment.

A hand slapped his palm away.

"Gu Nanfeng and I are indeed very good friends."

Gu Shen smiled and said: "It's our best to be together, this should be the answer you want to hear...right?"

Guangming City, Meng's surname, Gu Nanfeng, these information... passed through Gu Shen's mind one by one, and combined together, the inexplicable "hostility" and "hatred" seemed to have been answered.

Gu Shen had actually heard about the "Guangming City Rumors" not long ago.

The successor to the throne of God, Meng Xizhou, was also known as the Goddess of Light and was the pride of heaven. She refused the family's marriage, and the reason for her refusal... was said to be that she fell in love with an "insignificant" person from Beizhou.

The specific news was tightly covered by Guangming City.

No one knows who the "little person" Meng Xizhou fell in love with... and no one knows how this matter was handled later.

But now Gu Shen had a vague guess.

Little people...

This is really ironic.

Gu Nanfeng has lived in Beizhou with his identity hidden for eight years, and has been serving under Xi Gu under the code name "CN021". Except for Beizhou's senior officials, not many people should know the true identity of "CN021".

It would be nice if this thing were really that simple.

Meng Xizhou fell in love with just a little person.

So with the power of Guangming City and Beizhou, we can easily take down this "little man"...

But if she falls in love with the future young master of the Gu family in Dongzhou...

Then it will be different.

It's ironic.

Everyone thought this was a "shattering" love.

But if you think about it carefully, you will realize that this is the "goddess of light" who is more than ten thousand people, so how can she fall in love with "a mediocre person"?

Even if the so-called little person doesn't hold power at the moment... he will shine brilliantly one day.

After thinking about all this, Gu Shen slapped Meng Xiao's palm away and responded calmly: "Mr. Meng, I'm not in a hurry... If you want to play, I'll play slowly with you."
