Chapter 596 Returning to the East

"Master Gu, I know more about Lanqu County than Jing Yan. After all, I have been the king of Lanqu County for more than a hundred years. Why don't you let me guide you?" Zhou Shangyun's expression changed slightly. , resume as usual.

Zhou Shangyun is not worried that Gu Xinghe will attack him, he is the county king of Tianyuan Continent and an official. If Gu Xinghe attacked him, it would be tantamount to provoking the majesty of the holy city.

Although the Gu family is strong, they do not yet have the guts to blatantly challenge the Holy City.

"The prince is too polite!"

"It's a trivial matter, why should you bother? Moreover, the ancient cave mansion discovered by my ancient family this time is in the area of ​​Donglin City. Alchemist Jing Yan is from Donglin City, so it is naturally more suitable." Gu Xinghe chuckled lightly, Said in a non-salty tone.

"Oh? In the area of ​​Donglin City?" Zhou Shangyun did not expect that the ancient cave that Gu Xinghe wanted to enter would be in the area of ​​Donglin City.

"That's right! Donglin City is backed by the Black Rock Mountain Range. The ancient cave that our ancient family discovered this time is in the Black Rock Mountain Range." Gu Xinghe nodded.

"That's really a coincidence. I just happened to be planning to go to Donglin City, why don't we go together?" Zhou Shangyun changed the topic.

Gu Xinghe frowned suddenly.

However, at this point, if he refuses again, he really can't find any reason.

"Of course that's good." Gu Xinghe could only nod his head, agreeing to Zhou Shangyun's proposal.

In Gu Xinghe's heart, he already had some regrets. If he had known about the trouble, he would definitely not have come to Lanqu County.

The four of them set off for Donglin City.

"Jing Yan, why did you agree to lead the way for Gu Xinghe?" During the flight, Jing Yan and Zhou Shangyun were behind Gu Xinghe, and Zhou Shangyun asked in a low voice.

"That Gu Xinghe must have had bad intentions for you, you should stay in Dan Country." Zhou Shangyun shook his head and sighed softly.

It is reckless for Jing Yan to leave Dan country now.

"My lord, I know what you said. However, this Gu Xinghe said he knew about my father, so I had to go this way. As far as I can remember, I have never seen my father, and never To get any news about father's whereabouts, so..." Jing Yan explained.

He knew that Zhou Shangyun was also worried about himself.

"Oh?" Zhou Shangyun showed a surprised expression.

"Um,

Since this is the case, I don't have much to say, but you must be careful. Another day, you may not know that this Gu Xinghe is the candidate patriarch of the Gu family. As far as I know, the Gu Clan currently has two candidate patriarchs, and the previous patriarch should step down in about ten years. This Gu Xinghe is likely to become the next Gu Clan head. "Zhou Shangyun knows more about Gu Xinghe's identity than Jing Yan.

Hearing this, Jing Yan's eyes flashed. He really didn't know that Gu Xinghe still had such an identity. No wonder, beside Gu Xinghe, there will be an extremely powerful martial artist following and protecting him.

Presumably, the Gu family also made such an arrangement for the sake of accidents.

A few days later, the four arrived in Donglin City.

"This is Donglin City, not bad!" After entering the city, Gu Xinghe sighed.

Today's Donglin City has indeed undergone great changes from before. At the beginning, this small city could only be regarded as the lowest level in Lanqu County, but now it has changed a lot. On the streets, even warriors in the innate realm can often be seen.

Jing Yan hadn't come back for many years, and now seeing the situation in Donglin City, he nodded secretly, quite satisfied in his heart.

"The current Donglin City is considered a first-class city in the area of ​​Lanqu County. Although it is not comparable to the four major cities in terms of heritage, it is not much less attractive than the four major cities." Zhou Shangyun said with a smile.

While chatting and laughing, the four of them came to the City Lord's Mansion in Donglin City.

The guards reported that the city lord, Jing Tianying, came out to greet him soon.

When the King of the County arrives, Jing Tianying will of course come forward to greet him personally.

"I've seen the Lord King." Jing Tianying bowed to salute.

"City Lord Jing Tianying, you don't have to be so polite." Zhou Shangyun said hastily.

"City Lord Jing Tianying's ability is extraordinary, it is really admirable to be able to develop Donglin City to such a large scale in a short period of time!" Gu Xinghe said, looking at Jing Tianying.

He also knew about Jing Tianying's identity.

In fact, he has specially investigated everything about Jing Yan. He knew that Donglin City belonged to the Jing family. In this city, the Jing family is like an overlord.

Of course, this is nothing. A family like the Jing family can't be compared with the Gu family at all, the difference is hundreds of thousands of miles. If the Gu family sent two random people out, they could easily wipe out a small family like the Jing family.

"This is?" Jing Tianying looked at Gu Xinghe and asked.

"Fourth Elder, this is Young Master Gu Xinghe. He is a member of the Gu Family of the Seven Great Families and has a distinguished status." Jing Yan introduced Gu Xinghe's identity, "The one next to Young Master Gu is Elder Yin."

Jing Tianying raised her eyebrows, and looked at Gu Xinghe in astonishment. Jing Tianying also knows about the ancient family and the meaning that the seven great families represent on the mainland.

"It turned out to be Young Master Gu and Old Yin, haha, please come inside." Jing Tianying hurriedly cupped his hands, then stepped aside, and invited a few people into the City Lord's Mansion.

"Master Gu, we have been on the road for days, why not just rest for a day in the Donglin City Lord's Mansion today, and then set off into the Black Stone Mountains early tomorrow morning." Zhou Shangyun turned his eyes to Gu Xinghe Road.

"Then listen to the king of the county, and you can rest for a day." Gu Xinghe nodded and did not object.

After entering the City Lord's Mansion, several people exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Jing Tianying arranged rooms for Gu Xinghe and others.

After Gu Xinghe and the two left with the guards of the City Lord's Mansion, Jing Tianying's expression suddenly changed.

Here, only Jing Yan, Zhou Shangyun and Jing Tianying are left.

"My lord, what is Gu Xinghe doing here in our east city?" Jing Tianying asked in a concentrated voice. Although everyone appeared to be friendly just now, Jing Tianying also saw that the two of Gu Xinghe and Jing Tian The relationship between Yan Yan and Zhou Shangyun is definitely not that harmonious.

If you can't even see this **, it's not normal.

"This person seems to have something in mind about Jing Yan, but right now, he's not sure yet." Zhou Shangyun's expression darkened.

"Hehe, I don't think so much, the soldiers come to cover up the water and the earth! It's not so easy to deal with me!" Jing Yan waved his hands and said in a relaxed tone.

"Fourth elder, I'm going to visit the family now, we'll talk about it later in the evening." Jing Yan then said to Jing Tianying.

After not coming back for a long time, Jing Yan also wanted to see the current development of the Jing family. There is also the Brilliant Pill Building in Donglin City. Uncle Jing Chenxing has left. I don’t know if there is any problem with the operation of the Brilliant Pill Building here.
