Bulwark of Light

Chapter 353 patriarch (big chapter, ask for a monthly pass)

“Actually, Old Master is not as terrifying as they say.”

After dinner, Li Qingsui left politely, and Uncle Gao drove away together, Luo Yu answered the phone and hurriedly left, Lu Nan Jin returned to Fenglai to watch the comprehend Blade Intent.

The villa area has regained its tranquility.

Gu Nanfeng and Gu Shen were walking on the mountain road, “It’s just that Uncle Gao is right, some people are born with an aura… Old Master is that kind of person.”

The Young Master of the Gu family explained softly: “Maybe because he has lived for too long, he has a very strong murderous aura, which is left over from the last century. According to his age, he is Ancient One, who is older than Mister Shu, has witnessed and experienced the drastic changes in the history of Wuzhou. Before the birth of [Deep Sea], the Old Master was already the person in charge of Nagano. I heard that during the war sixty years ago, He used to carry an energy howitzer and defended an entire stronghold by himself.”

This sentence sounds very powerful.

It doesn’t fit the environment at the moment.

The mountain wind blows.

The water runs into the ear.

The starry sky is hidden among the swaying leaves.

Gu Shen imagined the heroic image of Old Master when he was young, with his chest and arms bare, with a series of bullets on his body, and his shoulders resisting howitzers, tsk tsk sighed: “Old Master was so fierce when he was young… It should be very hard to beat people. Does it hurt?”

Gu Nanfeng smiled, “I have never been beaten by him. When I was born, it was the best era, when the old and new factions hadn’t split, and Lord Divine Throne was already standing. At the top of the world, he devoted everything to mankind, neither marrying nor having children, so the Old Master has been looking forward to the inheritance of the bloodline of the Gu family.”

And he was born.

You don’t need to think about it to know that when Gu Nanfeng landed, he was destined to enjoy thousands of pets in one body.

“When I was very young, I lived a life of fine clothes and food, and if I wanted, I would get it. Even if I wanted the moon in the sky, the Old Master would send someone to pick it up and give it to me. .”

When he said this, Gu Nanfeng’s tone didn’t have any connotation of showing off.

On the contrary, this is the real thing.

“Actually I don’t think such a day is any good.” He shrugged and asked with a smile: “Because you can get everything, life is so boring…isn’t it?”

p>

Gu Shen replied sincerely: “To be honest…I really want to say yes, but my experience doesn’t allow it.”

Gu Nanfeng was stunned, realizing Gu Shen’s childhood in the archives , not rich.

“But I can probably understand it.” Gu Shen indifferently said: “Although I live a life that is completely different from yours, I understand the truth you just said from another angle… very small. I just wanted to eat when I was full, and after I was full, I wanted to wear warm clothes, and then I wanted to have a big house and a lot of money. But then I had all these things, and I wanted more. Human desire There is no end. Even if you have everything at birth, you still want to reach out to places you haven’t touched.”

“People are such creatures, because they have everything, so I wanted to run away. Nagano.” Gu Nanfeng said with a slight smile: “Father took me to practice swordsmanship when I was very young, I practiced very seriously, because I am the heir of the Gu family’s hope, so I have to take the first place in everything. , and because Lord Divine Throne is standing on the top of the mountain, so I have to reach the middle of the mountain at least. Everything I do symbolizes the face of the Gu family. I can’t do it.”

“…”

Gu Shen’s eyes moved slightly.

“You should already know what happened later.” Gu Nanfeng calmly said: “After Lord Divine Throne fell into a deep sleep, the Gu family broke out, and I left Nagano with my wish.”

“After I went to Beizhou, I gradually began to understand that the Old Master taught me a long time ago.”

He whispered: “Not only for the family… For myself. He is teaching me how to be a strong enough person.”

The fortress life with nothing in Beizhou and the brocade and jade food given by Nagano are as different as heaven and earth .

I’m afraid no one doesn’t expect.

Eight years later.

Gu Family Eldest Young Master can become CN021, the Legendary character of Beizhou, and the most admired descendant of General Rusty Bone.

“Actually…”

Gu Shen said frankly: “I am not afraid of seeing the Old Master tomorrow.”

“oh ?” This time, Gu Nanfeng was a little surprised.

He laughed and said, “I wanted to comfort you and let you relax and not be so nervous when you see Old Master tomorrow.”

Perhaps because, in The reason why the Gold Divine Domain met Gu Changzhi.

Gu Shen is no stranger to the Gu family.

Gu Shen asked slowly, “I’m just curious, why did the old man suddenly want to see me?”

If it wasn’t for Divination Technique or Huazhi, then What else could be the reason?

Gu Shen doesn’t believe it.

There are so many people in Nagano, Old Master just picked one at random, and then picked himself.

“You are a sought-after person now, and the five people want to see you very much.”

Gu Nanfeng said, “So… it’s not surprising that Old Master wants to see you.”

“No… Five people want to see me, because I am S-Rank, and I am also the successor of the Divination Technique appointed by Master Qianye.”

Gu Shen smiled, “I treat you with me. If this is the reason, you would have said it outright before, there is nothing to hide… Obviously, Old Master has other reasons.”

Gu Nanfeng lightly sighed.

He said with a smile: “Are you really that curious?”

“no no no…” Gu Shen realized that something was wrong, and stopped quickly, said with a smile: “You still Don’t talk about it…I’ll see you tomorrow.”

Some things, it’s better to have a clue.

Perhaps the reason why Old Master wants to see him is very simple, so simple that he doesn’t need to point it out deliberately…

It’s just because his surname is Gu.

……

……

The second day dinner was booked on the top floor of the most luxurious Jiangbei Hotel in Snow Forbidden City.

The Gu family wrapped a whole floor.

The atmosphere of life in this old city is completely different from that in the metropolitan area. It is low-key and simple, but it does not mean simple… The two feasters were led by the waiter to their destination.

Gu Nanfeng changed into a formal attire for public occasions. This was the first time he took off the “misty cloak” given by the rusty bone General. He had not worn such clothes for eight years. .

Gu Shen’s attire is not that particular…it’s still the same as before, with a long trench coat of the same style as Senior Sister Lu.

Today’s meeting, the protagonist is Gu Nanfeng instead of himself.

He is just an invitee, a guest.

The most important thing is…the meeting of the five major families, he has participated in turns.

The last time I invited myself to dinner, I set the location in the old town alley.

And this time…after all, the two of them haven’t seen each other for many years, and he reminisces about the old with wine, but Gu Shen didn’t expect that the dinner party set by the Old Master is of such a high standard.

It twists and turns all the way to the box.

Open the door.

The magnificent and soft light fell on the round table, and the Old Master in black suit, as the “dinner host”, came early and waited for the “guests” to arrive.

Besides him, on the left and right sides, stood two tall middle-aged men, one with a shaved head and the other wearing a bowler hat.

Gu Shen glanced cautiously with blazing fire.

These two…at least are the fourth rank transcender above the tenth floor of the deep sea!

Maybe… stronger!

As for the Old Master.

All I can say is…Uncle Gao and Luo Fatty honestly don’t deceive me.

He was already mentally prepared, but after seeing the old Master Gu in a black suit, Gu Shen still felt a lot of pressure. in a state of calm.

The time seemed to slow down as the hands passed by.

“Tsk… someone seems very nervous.”

Sensing the change in Gu Shen’s spirit strength.

“Do you need me to plan an escape route?”

Chu Ling seems to be asking very intimately, but it is actually a light sarcasm: “Friendly reminder…if it really reaches that point, Your escape probability is infinitely close to 0.”

The truth…

Gu Shen took a deep breath, said with a bitter smile: “Maybe you can change your mind, from my After coming to Nagano, I began to calculate, is there a safer time than eating this meal? Even if someone is carrying an energy cannon outside, they shouldn’t be able to get in?”

“It makes sense.”

With the help of Gu Shen’s fiery vision, Chu Ling looked at the old man in front of him.

She called up a file and said slowly: “Gu Qilin, the second master of the Gu family who has been in charge of the family for 60 years, has experienced forty-three wars, large and small, after the establishment of the three schools, As the commander of the command post, the transfer of files of extraordinary events above A-Rank in Nagano and the entire Jiangbei needs to be approved by his authority. Even aside from the blessing of the Gu family, he still has one of the very The status and the right to speak the best.”

【Source Code】Doesn’t have human emotions, and naturally won’t feel afraid.

But Chu Ling’s tone still became solemn.

She could feel the distinctive “breath” of the Old Master.

Experienced people like Old Master.

Even if you take a bath and put on new clothes, the breath on your body is like a drawn sword, which is terrifying.

“I have an illusion.”

Gu Shen said with emotion: “Even if someone hits here with an airship now, Old Master can withstand it.”

p>

“Gu Qilin does have a record of one person destroying airships, and there are still three.” Chu Ling said: “Of course… that was a long time ago. The current energy airship has undergone changes. But I dare to Certainly, if there was an airship attack, it would have been shot down before the impact.”

The top floor of the hotel was empty.

But this is Nagano!

Gu’s home base!

Old Master and Gu Nanfeng are the top powerhouses on the top of the five continents again… The airship attack without a group can’t be considered anything in front of the title-level personal martial power.

“These two left Right Protectors, can you find the information?”

Gu Shen said in a low voice.

“…The war between the old and new factions of the Gu family has lasted for eight years, and they are still on guard against each other. The files of the important figure are all encrypted.” Chu Ling shook the head and said, “But I Just made a simple estimation and prediction, their personal strength will not be much worse than Han Dang.”

In other words, these two are almost the strength of the 11th-layer?

Sure enough… even though the Gu family is divided into two factions, they still have a very strong hidden strength!

Old Master waved his hand, and the two Left Right Protectors bowed and left.

He tapped the bell at the table.

“ding dong”!

The dozen waiters in small suits poured in like water, holding their plates, and they filed in. In less than a minute, the round table was all eaten, and the waiters didn’t say a word during the whole process. Then leave quickly.

Soon.

There were only three people left in the huge box.

Old Master smiled and stretched out his hand, making a friendly invitation to Gu Shen: “…Sit.”

Gu Shen took a deep breath and sat down nearby.

As for Gu Nanfeng, he chose a compromise position… three people, three directions, in a three-legged situation, there is a condensed atmosphere that wind and rain are about to come.

The damn silence.

Gu Shen raised his eyes to look at Gu Nanfeng, and gestured with his eyes to say something.

Gu’s Young Master noticed Gu Shen’s eyes, but it was only laughed, and there was no other expression. He didn’t seem to think there was anything wrong with the silence… Gu Nanfeng raised his hand in the same way as the Old Master. Action, spit out a word succinctly.

“…Eat.”

At the same moment, Lanqie’s sound transmission swept into his ears.

Gu Nanfeng said gently: “Eat with confidence…Old Master doesn’t like to talk about business while eating.”

Good guy!

Is this the way the family treats guests?

It turned out to be inviting people to dinner… It’s really just inviting people to dinner!

Since these two “right masters” are unwilling to speak first, then they have nothing to say.

Gu Shen ate silently.

……

……

On the top floor of the Jiangbei Hotel, there was silence.

If someone is there, it will be very exciting.

This was probably the quietest meal Gu Shen had ever eaten in his life… Every time he took a few mouthfuls, he would subconsciously raise his head and look at the Old Master, who was quietly eating his meal. Food.

The old man lowered his eyes and ate in silence, like a sleeping lion.

“…I really don’t need to say anything?”

Gu Shen condensed his voice with fiery fire and asked very cautiously.

“I’m done eating.”

Gu Nanfeng wiped his lips with a napkin and spoke first, breaking the silence that could be heard as the needle fell.

The Old Master stopped his knife and fork and looked up at him.

“Tell me… what you call ‘business’.”

A deep voice sounded from the round table.

Gu Nanfeng said calmly, “It’s very simple.”

“I hope that within a month, Nagano and Dato will have a negotiation. Reach cooperation and reject the implementation of the Awakening Act in Eastern Continent, and the Eastern Continent Council needs to forcefully demand the intervention of the Central FBI to investigate in depth the ‘Apostolic Case’ in Dadu, and to hold the Tower of Source accountable and punished.”

These words were said in one breath.

Gu Shen’s look at Gu Nanfeng can already be described as surprise and admiration.

In fact, he prepared a lot for tonight’s dinner… In the spiritual world, he and Chu Ling simulated some troubles that “negotiations” might encounter, and the attitude that the Old Master might have.

But how can there be such a “negotiation” in this world?

There is no foreshadowing and no turning back.

straight to the point.

No…that’s the bone marrow!

Opening the mouth is Wang Zhai.

“…Do you think it’s possible?”

Old Master narrowed his eyes, leaned back slightly, and leaned back on the chair.

He didn’t show any emotion, but said slowly: “Don’t say that the Gu family is now divided into two factions, even when the Gu family was Peak ten years ago, I can’t agree to your request on behalf of the whole of Nagano. If I nodded, I’m lying to you. You should know, I… I do not have the ability to grant you this request. “

“As long as you want, you can have it.” “

Gu Nanfeng continued: “All you need to do is to reconcile the five leaders, and the Jiangbei Group’s voting rights are almost all under the control of the five leaders.” First convince the Li family, and then use this as a springboard to win over the Gong Mu family, and this step is enough to declare victory. If you are afraid of trouble, these things can be done by me. ”

Gu Shen finally understands what he perceives is wrong and where it comes from.

Yes.

How can there be such a negotiation in this world?

Today’s dinner is not simply a negotiation.

It is a heart-to-heart conversation between family members.

This is the eight years since the Gu family, The first collision of the two wills is the real showdown after the old man and the young man get to know each other deeply.

There is no need to beat around the bush.

What Gu Nanfeng thought in his mind…the Old Master was actually a long time ago. I know.

And the so-called eating is just a reason.

And the biggest mistake is…In such a conversation, all my backgrounds and conditions are not No matter how important it is, no matter how big the source is, it should be like the two left Right Protectors who silently closed the door and waited outside.

But unfortunately, I can sit at the dinner table and be a silently listening rice bucket.

“As you said… even if you win over the Li family, the Gong Family, and the Mu Family, is it really enough? “

Old Master looked blankly at his grandnephew, “When Nagano’s balance is broken, the other half of the Gu family, as well as the entire Bai Family, are enough to fight against the power you mentioned. By then, war will break out. “

Among the five great masters, there are strong and weak ones.

After the current Gu family is divided, they are still strong, but if they are completely separated… The old and new factions are once again caught in the struggle, and after the loss , the Gu family will no longer have a “dominant position”.

And at that time the Bai Family was able to reach the top.

“If there is a conflict because of the ‘Act’…then war It’s all inevitable. Not today, but tomorrow. “

Gu Nanfeng calmly said: “You used to be the enemy of thousands who became terror-stricken at the news, bathed in blood every day, but now you are afraid of war? “

The old man narrowed his eyes.

This is already a provocative word, but he still doesn’t get angry, and said softly: “Because of countless wars, we know that peace is precious.” “

“But what if the Gu family could not merge peacefully. “

Gu Nanfeng calmly said: “Either, it will split into two halves, and it will gradually drift away from then on… Or, the martial power will be unified, and one fight will eliminate future troubles forever!” “

“You are the typical Beizhou military thinking. “

Old Master indifferently said: “Is it learned from rust bone? You have to be clear, sometimes a big fist is useless…”

Gu Nanfeng responded immediately: “Think of your nephew. “

Old Master was really silent.

“There is always an exception to everything, and he is that exception.” Gu Qilin said slowly: “If your fists can be as big as his, then there is no need to eat today’s meal… When you returned from Beizhou to Nagano, the leaders of the new faction Will kneel in the snow and lick your uppers, wagging their tails like a dog. “

Gu Shen choked halfway through the meal, the metaphor of didn’t expect Old Master is so fresh and refined.

“…”

Gu Nanfeng After being silent for a second, he said slowly: “Although my fist is not as hard as Lord Divine Throne, it can still be punched. “

“On the battlefield, as long as you are strong enough, you are a well-deserved warrior. Can kill one person, ten people, a hundred people. “Old Master bowed his head and lit a cigarette, Faintly said: “But the Snow Forbidden City is not a battlefield, there are tens of millions of people here, and the five masters have their own rules. Before you become Gu Changzhi…you can’t violate this set of rules. “

“The one in Kiyomizu probably won’t wake up.” “

Gu Nanfeng took a deep breath and said the biggest reason, saying: “The ‘Battle of Apostles’ that broke out in Dadu was not because Mr. Gu Changzhi chose his apostle . That token coat of arms, I got it from Western Continent Bright City. “

There are no secrets in Nagano Castle.

There are wind pupils above, and earthworms below.

But this news… still beyond the old man’s expectations.

Old Master frowned and stared at his grand-nephew. Only then did he realize that eight years can really change a person a lot… Before leaving Nagano, everything this child did was It is within the chessboard.

The first move to return to the hometown is the “outside the board move”.

Gu Nanfeng should have concealed what happened inside and outside the Gu family.

Everyone…probably only the guardian of the mausoleum knows.

Gu Shen’s expression is a little complicated.

Although he knows everything…but can this also be heard by himself?

“How did you get in touch with ‘Bright City’? The Old Master asked earnestly: “Don’t say this is a rusty introduction… The Divine Throne of Bright City may meet you for this reason, but he will never lend you something as important as a token. It is even more impossible to send out Divine Power for nothing to become an apostle, just to make a lie for Eastern Continent. “

“Don’t forget, I have been in Beizhou for eight years… During these eight years, the Gu family has not helped me.” “

Gu Nanfeng said slowly: “I should always have my own secrets. “

“So…that’s really a big secret…”

Hearing this, the Old Master laughed with relief.

Gu Nanfeng continued to ask: “The tower of the source wine, the Divine Throne, has retreated, and the Eastern Continent seems to be peaceful… But in fact, how long can this peace last? Do you think the ‘new faction’ is willing to compromise all the time, once they discover the truth about Kiyozuka, what will happen? You want peace… Can Nagano really be peaceful forever? ”

One question after another.

Every question hits the soul.

Unfortunately, the old man’s expression did not fluctuate much.

p>

“It seems you came prepared. “

Gu Qilin casually said: “So… just say what you think.” “

Gu Nanfeng stared at the Old Master and said word by word: “If Lord Divine Throne cannot wake up, then I will become the patriarch of the Gu family.” Formally, in the true sense of the word… patriarch. “

For anyone else, this is an ambitious statement.

But it came out of Gu Nanfeng’s mouth.

It makes people feel So…appropriate.

He should have said these words.

Because he should have been…the patriarch of the family.

 …

……
