Chapter 1897
"Snap"
A wisp of cold air flew from a distance and hit Gu Zheng directly. Then Gu Zheng's body was quickly covered with frost, and it formed an ice sculpture in the blink of an eye, and was bound in place.
Gu Zheng could actually dodge, but he knew he was in the wrong, so he simply stood there and let the other party vent, anyway, the power of this attack was not very strong.
After a few breaths, Meng Zhen, with a frosty face, appeared in front of Gu Zheng, wearing a layer of white clothes, blocking the delicate body, but the angry eyes stared at Gu Zheng, as if Gu Zheng had done something wrong to her.
But Gu Zheng was also wronged. In fact, he only saw the other party's exposed shoulders, and realized that something was wrong. He immediately shifted his eyes and didn't see the rest.
But looking at the other party like this, it seemed that he had been seen through. Even if Gu Zheng explained, he probably wouldn't believe it. So he simply didn't speak first and let the other party calm down.
"You shameless villain, didn't I ask you to stop outside just now? You are still following behind secretly, Miss, just kill him." At this time, Huamei also followed and said murderously.
No matter who he is, he dared to peek at the young lady taking a bath. Even if their demon souls don't care about this, she was still furious.
Hearing Huamei's words, Meng Zhen's eyes were gradually filled with murderous intent.
Seeing this, Gu Zheng knew that he had to speak, otherwise the other party would really kill him at a glance.
While thinking, the appearance of his body also quickly deformed and restored his body shape.
Meng Zhen was stunned, looking at Gu Zheng in front of him, the murderous intent in his eyes quickly retreated, and then he waved his hand to rescue Gu Zheng from the ice sculpture state.
"Why is it you!"
Meng Zhen said with a complicated look in his eyes. After leaving the black tower last time, he landed outside smoothly and then returned directly to the clan. Later, he heard that all the people in the imprisonment were released, and he also knew that Gu Zheng succeeded.
If it were anyone else, even her own people, she would kill them without hesitation, but facing Gu Zheng, the other party was not just saving her life.
"Of course it was me, but don't worry, I only saw your shoulder just now, and nothing else." Seeing Meng Zhen's murderous aura subsided, Gu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and said frankly.
"Hehe, you think I will believe it, that is you" At this point, even Meng Zhen's face flushed a little, not knowing how to continue, and took a deep breath before continuing.
"You go outside and wait for me first, I'll clean up."
Gu Zheng immediately retreated after hearing this, and pushed all the way to the outside of the attic, then stopped and felt a little headache. He caused this incident as soon as he came here, and why did he suddenly lose his mind.
He felt something was wrong, and looked around, and then he found something different.
Because the entire palace itself is covered by a layer of formations, and the place where their clan is located is engraved with various formations of different sizes. Most of them are actually for maintaining those ordinary items. Otherwise, even if they are carefully cared for, they will be damaged over time. This can greatly preserve those times.
These have long been accustomed to Huaxin and the others, and they don’t cause any discomfort to them at all, but Gu Zheng has a little impact. After adding a simple layer of protection in his mind, he completely eliminates the impact here.
"Hey, why are you standing here? Is it that the young lady has something to do and hasn't come out?" Huaxin, who had finished packing, also came out and asked in surprise when she saw Gu Zheng standing outside.
"No, the other party came out soon, and Huamei has already gone in to report."
Gu Zheng knew what happened just now. With Huamei's personality, he would definitely not be able to hide it, but it would be better to delay it for a while.
"Oh, I'll go in and ask for you."
Huaxin didn't know what happened. Based on the principle of professionalism, of course, after washing off the dust, she also had to see Mengzhen and reply to her mission. She was not going to help Gu Zheng conceal it.
Soon, Hua Xin came out again, looking at Gu Zheng with a strange look, and then spoke.
"Miss, please go in and follow me."
Gu Zheng was embarrassed by the other party's look. Needless to say, the other party must know what happened just now, so he simply said nothing and walked in directly, followed Hua Xin, and came to a more comfortable reception room.
At this time, Meng Zhen was already sitting next to her, and the whole person changed into a refreshing look. The snow-white clothes set off her more beautiful and moving. The hair that was originally tied up also spread out at the waist like a waterfall. There was a faint fragrance in the air, big eyes like stars, with dimples in a smile, and the exposed pearly teeth.
She was simply a girl waiting to be a daughter of a wealthy family. It was impossible to tell that her essence was a demon soul.
"Mr. Gu, please sit down. I probably know about your affairs."
Seeing Gu Zheng coming over at this time, as if what happened just now had not happened, she invited Gu Zheng calmly.
Gu Zheng looked at Meng Zhen from the corner of his eye, knowing that Hua Xin had revealed her disguised identity, and there was nothing unusual at all. Perhaps demon souls were different from humans and didn't care much about this. Comforting himself, he sat down opposite Meng Zhen.
Hua Xin and Hua Mei stood behind Meng Zhen, one on the left and one on the right, looking at Gu Zheng with scrutiny.
Huamei wants to see who this person is. He dares to pretend to be Mengzhen's lover. Of course he knows whether Mengzhen is tempted, and Huaxin also said that she is the one who makes the decision. Only in this way can the other party come in. If Mengzhen is tempted, he I really don’t want to pay attention to her, it’s not up to them how to knead her.
Hua Xin's eyes were filled with excitement. Without thinking too much, Gu Zheng knew what the other party was thinking.
"I'm still bothering you this time. Mainly because of my maid. She was kidnapped. I'll see if I can rescue her. I'll probably bother you. If you don't want to, I'll leave now. You know, my maid was taken away by him. Captured." Gu Zheng looked at Meng Zhen and without much hesitation, he directly stated his purpose.
He didn't hide it. After all, apart from them, the only people from Wen Tianhou's side were left in this place. If the other party was unwilling to protect him, it would be better to leave as soon as possible.
After he came to this city, the connection had become much clearer, and he already roughly knew Xiaoying's location. Even in this palace city surrounded by wolves, he was confident that he could hide his figure for a short time without being discovered by the other party.
"You were caught by the King of Heaven? Your maid has quite a lot of background."
Meng Zhen had long been prepared in his heart. After all, the other party was coming to Miyagi to rescue. Either they captured the person, or the Heavenly King captured them. They didn't capture anyone at all during this period. Obviously, it could only be that person. side.
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to come here, but I won't waste much of your time. In just a few days, after I rescue the maid, I will leave here." Gu Zheng saw the other party's look and knew that the other party did not Without trying to drive him away, he said immediately.
He has made preparations. As long as he can get in touch with Xiaoying, he will have the confidence to take her out of here.
"This little thing is no problem. You can stay here as long as you want. Do you want me to help you?"
Mengzhen readily agreed, and even made a suggestion that made Gu Zheng's heart skip a beat.
He never expected that Meng Zhen would say this to him and want to help him, which was simply beyond his expectation.
Even though the Huahun clan has a transcendent status and is not controlled by the other party, such naked help is not afraid of bringing danger to their own clan.
"I'm just representing myself. If anything happens, I'll be the only one at most. I said when I was inside that I owe you my life. I can talk about anything."
Perhaps seeing Gu Zheng's doubts, Meng Zhen said nonchalantly, as if it was just an insignificant disappearance.
"No need, I can do it myself, just let me stay here for a few more days." Gu Zheng hesitated, then refused.
He was surprised that the other party allowed him to stay here after knowing the details. He had saved the other party's life in the Black Tower, but he couldn't treat such a thing as a child's play.
"That's okay. If there are any changes, you can tell me. Hua Xin, please lead him to the guest room on the second floor." Meng Zhen didn't say much and directly ordered Hua Xin. However, when he said that he should go to the second floor, his expression changed. There was still a slight blush, but it passed by briefly. Gu Zheng's attention was not on her yet and he didn't notice it.
"yes!"
Hua Xin's eyes narrowed, and with a smile on his face, he took Gu Zheng to a quiet room on the second floor, and then came down from above.
"Have you entered that room?" Meng Zhen asked in a low voice. After receiving Hua Xin's affirmative nod, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Then Mengzhen stood up suddenly, gave the painting a small beating on the heart, and talked while beating it.
"How could you make up this reason and tell that guy Mengshui? I'm afraid the whole clan will know about it in two days. What do you want me to do? I have no feelings for him."
"Excuse me, I didn't mean it. The other party caught me in the small town and forced me to do this, otherwise I won't be able to come back." Hua Xin begged for mercy while avoiding the playful beatings.
The thrush next to me was also looking on with excitement and did not go to help.
"Hurry up and recruit me from the ground. I'll give you a chance to gain merit, and you can come up with tricks for me. If I'm not satisfied, I'll punish you to guard the tribute hall." Meng Zhen sat down again and said to Hua Xin.
She was originally going to compete for the position of clan leader, so she would have no chance at all. However, in the face of Gu Zheng's plea, she still had to help. After all, he saved her life. She was really causing trouble. The worst he could do was not be here anymore. , How else could the King of Heaven touch her?
Hua Xin knew that she had caused trouble for Meng Zhen, so she told her everything, basically leaving nothing out.
"That is to say, that city was occupied by them, and the unlucky clan doesn't know it yet. Forget it, you actually met him. It's good that you can save your life." Mengzhen waved his hand and considered it. This matter is over.
For her, the most important thing is that there is no loss in Hua Xin. As for the notification, the outside is blocked anyway and she can't get out. What a perfect excuse.
"Then what should we do next?" Huamei looked at the excitement and said.
"What else can we do? It's just a matter of taking it one step at a time. Keep your mouth shut. Only after Mr. Gu is done can you clear my identity. Do you understand?"
Mengzhen had no choice. The arrival of Gu Zheng made her passive, but she could only carry it.
"Yes, I will definitely not talk nonsense." Hua Xin and Hua Mei said in unison, they naturally knew what to do.
During the discussion below, Gu Zheng was also very quiet in the room. One look at this room showed that no one had lived in it for a long time. It should be a guest room, especially the surrounding soundproof circle. It is estimated that no one outside can snoop inside. Of course, things can't be heard inside or outside.
He knew that maybe Meng Zhen had something to say, and he didn't care. Since the other party wanted to help him, he wouldn't let him help him. As he said, it was enough to be able to stay here. He could stay here for a few days at most. of effort, and will leave when the time comes.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Gu Zheng began to regulate his breathing. If he wanted to sneak in, he must adjust his state.
The day passed quickly. When Gu Zheng woke up from his trance state with full energy, the sound of painting heart happened to come from outside.
"Mr. Gu, please come down, Miss."
"What's going on?" Gu Zheng opened the door and asked with some confusion.
"The matter is still related to you. Mengshui's side has spread the news about you. Now the elders asked Mengzhen to take you there and invite someone over early in the morning. The young lady really couldn't shirk it, so they asked me to come up. Don't let me come here. Just maintain our appearance and your original appearance.”
Hua Xin explained, watching Gu Zheng start to change again, and quickly stopped it.
Now that everyone knows that he is from the Phantom Clan, there is no need to keep pretending. Anyway, no one knows what the original identity of the Phantom Clan is. For them, anything can look like him.
"Okay then, let's go."
Gu Zheng didn't expect that there would be such a big disturbance here before he took action. He just hoped that the elders wouldn't see it. Even if he was very confident in hiding, he couldn't avoid feeling anxious at this time.
When he came downstairs, Meng Zhen had been waiting for him. Next to her, there was a beautiful female tribesman who was also looking at Gu Zheng curiously.
"The elder invites us to come. We can't refuse." Meng Zhen also felt helpless and spread his hands.
"It doesn't matter. It would be better if we met earlier, so that I would have peace of mind." Gu Zheng could only pinch his nose and say.
Who let his identity be like this? Now he feels a little regretful. Hua Xin's self-assertion will bring him much trouble, especially for this ethnic group with such a strong curiosity.
"Miss Meng, Mr. Gu, please come with me, don't keep the elders waiting." The female painting soul next to her said at this time, making a gesture of invitation.
Soon the three of them walked in the other direction, one behind the other, with Gu Zheng and Meng Zhen following behind, walking ahead leisurely.
"How many elders are there among you? I don't have any questions, right?" Gu Zheng didn't shy away from the front, and just asked Meng Zhen in a low voice.
"There are more than a dozen, but there are only three elders who usually take care of things and take turns. Don't worry, it's just a question. There are no other questions." Meng Zhen said with certainty.
This made Gu Zheng feel a little calmer. Meng Zhen meant to tell him that as long as he insisted on his identity as a fantasy clan, the other party would not be able to see through his original appearance. However, Gu Zheng thought of another thing and spoke directly when he saw this.
"You said you were competing for the position of clan leader. Could it be that your clan leader has encountered something unexpected, or something else?"
"This is a big problem. No one outside knows. Our clan leader has fallen into a coma due to cultivation issues. We are now planning to select a temporary clan leader from among the young people. The elders will assist her in management. But for you, I Going to quit."
Mengzhen glanced in front of him and answered.
This shows that Gu Zheng is deeply trusted by her. Even if they are not strict with each other, some important things still know to keep secret. In order for Gu Zheng to fully integrate into this place, she is also breaking the pot and breaking the bowl.
Once others know that he knows the news, he also knows the true meaning of the dream.
Because since the elder is involved, no matter whether Gu Zheng leaves in the end or not, she will not be able to continue the campaign.
Gu Zheng nodded. He didn't know that Meng Zhen couldn't compete for the position of clan leader because of him, but he knew that he didn't have to worry too much in front of the elders.
"Isn't this sister Meng Zhen?"
Just when we were on the road, we turned a corner and heard a surprise sound from the side.
"It's Sister Mengshu!"
Gu Zheng turned around and saw that Meng Shi and several people were also appearing next to him, and there were several people behind him pulling the black ball.
The two people's routes gradually came closer together, because there was a passage in front of them, which was enough for them to walk side by side.
"I brought your sweetheart in, how can you thank me, otherwise he will still be wandering outside."
When they were close together, Mengshi smiled and said to Mengzhen.
"Thank you so much, sister, otherwise I wouldn't know how to face him. I will definitely ask my sister to talk to me when I come back. Has my sister completed her mission this time?"
There is actually a competitive relationship between the two, but they were still very good sisters before, but after the election, they gradually stopped interacting with each other.
But now that Meng Zhen has decided to quit, Meng is the only one left, and there is no competition between the two. When they meet, there is no urgency as before, and it seems that they have returned to the good sister relationship before.
Of course Hua Xin didn't know how much trouble her temporary actions would bring to Meng Zhen. She thought that as long as Gu Zheng left, everything would recover. Given her status, she didn't know this yet.
So the matter has reached this point, and there is no room for turning around. Even Gu Zheng doesn't know how much Meng Zhen has paid.
Of course, after Mengzhen understood the situation within the clan, he knew that his chances were very small. When he was no longer there, Mengshi had already made a large enough contribution.
"Yes, this elder couldn't wait to come to me. He wanted to interrogate some information before handing it over there."
While Mengzhen and Mengshi were chatting, they continued walking with everyone, and soon came to an obviously spacious courtyard.
This courtyard is huge, and there are even some hidden sentries around it, which are very well protected.
There is a reception hall at the front that is also marked twice, and the rest is blank and covered with black stones.
Gu Zheng didn't understand that the structure here was so strange, but there must be a side that he didn't know about.
The servants who followed stopped halfway, and only the four of them entered the reception hall.
Three elders, who looked like middle-aged and beautiful women, were sitting dignifiedly on it and had been waiting here for a long time.
When Gu Zheng came in, all eyes were scanning him back and forth.
"Elder, this time I successfully sneaked into Lone Peak and caught him while his energy was on the Sighing Plain. However, I also alerted him."
As soon as he came in, Meng lost his words, which surprised Gu Zheng.
