Chapter 385 I, Gu You, Am Moody

The Seaside City Lord's Mansion is a special space that is more like a private land than an office area for the lord of a city.

The specific reasons are complicated. On the one hand, it involves the historical culture and humanistic background of the Seaside City. If you don't know enough about the story behind it, it is difficult to make a correct judgment.

On the other hand, it is relatively simple. Any ordinary human with normal intelligence and good eyesight can draw a conclusion after thinking for one-third of a second.

Now Gu You and his three companions are both the former and the latter.

Because what appeared in front of them was a majestic castle standing on the edge of a cliff.

The castle was built of light gray stones, and the years had carved countless fine and complex textures on its surface. The two heavy iron doors groaned in the strong sea breeze, as if telling the long time they had experienced.

Ma Hongjun had never seen such a powerful force. In his early twelve years of life, the most magnificent building he had seen was the city wall of the Tiandou Empire.

It was just a small section of it.

At that time, he was still troubled by the evil fire, which made it impossible to calm down and appreciate it.

So, when he first saw the castle belonging to the Qi family, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Wow."

Hearing the movement behind him, Gu You immediately turned around and slapped Ma Hongjun on the head.

"It hurts!"

Ma Hongjun was hammered to the ground, and it can be seen that he really used force this time. He said in a tone of regret: "Wow, you dead head, don't embarrass yourself, idiot."

"We are the envoys of His Highness, don't let the country bumpkins think."

Just then, the tightly closed door slowly opened from the middle, and Gu You immediately closed his mouth.

Qi Xiaofeng, who had been waiting for a long time under the scorching sun, took his son Qi Tao, who looked elegant, and his brother Qi Langhai, who didn't want to come at all, to greet the three people.

"Hahaha, what's the wind blowing today that actually brought your Highness's envoy here?"

"."

Seeing Gu You's slight resistance, Qi Xiaofeng immediately paused and stopped three steps in front of Gu You. He put his right hand on his chest, put his left hand behind his back, bowed slightly, and introduced himself seriously: "Hello, envoy, I am the current lord of Haibin City, Qi Xiaofeng."

In order not to arouse the prince's disgust, Qi Xiaofeng was very smart not to mention the Qi family. Then he slightly turned sideways and introduced: "This is my younger brother Qi Langhai."

Qi Langhai nodded to the three people with a flattering face when he met them for the second time.

"This is my son Qi Tao."

Qi Tao had a faint smile on his face and bowed to the three people: "I am Qi Tao, meet the three adults."

When he raised his head, Gu You finally had the opportunity to carefully observe the new annotation of "dandy".

He looks a bit like Qi Xiaofeng, but his eyes are slightly smaller. In addition, he is young, and he is a handsome guy who makes people feel good at first sight.

The premise is to ignore the faint dark circles under his eyes and the slightly pale face.

‘Kidney deficiency? ’

Trouble comes from the mouth, Gu You certainly won’t say that. As a personal trainee who has been training in the Holy Soul Village for about two and a half years, he has implemented his personality very well.

Throwing the token to Qi Xiaofeng casually, Gu You calmly said: "Gu You, the captain of the Royal Fighting Team. The two behind are Ma Hongjun and Oscar, the second team."

In just twenty-four words, there is so much information that Qi Xiaofeng was stunned.

First of all, isn’t the captain of the Royal Fighting Team the heir designated by the Dragon Snake Family? When did he become a muscular man?

Secondly, the three people in the Royal Fighting Team and the Second Team are all under the age of twenty?

Finally, the captain of the Royal Fighting Team holds the token of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, which means that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has complete control over the Tiandou Royal Academy?

Qi Xiaofeng was speechless due to too many questions, and Gu You was happy with it. He looked around and commented in a condescending tone: "The castle is OK, but the materials used are too rubbish, it's extremely old-fashioned."

"If this is your taste, I think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may have made a mistake because he was too busy."

Objectively speaking, the Qi family's castle is first-class. The finest granite and the hand-carved patterns by the forging master invited from Gengxin City have gone through years of wind and rain to become what it is today, which can be regarded as strong and durable.

However, Gu You is now a noble Tiandou City noble, and has the supreme right to despise other non-Tiandou City nobles.

In the Tiandou Empire, Tiandou City nobles say that garbage is garbage.

Qi Langhai was shocked and was about to explain, but he heard Qi Xiaofeng say first: "Master Gu, you don't know."

"Oh? Tell me more."

"Although the taxes paid by Haibin City are a lot every year, under its beautiful appearance, the inside has long been riddled with holes."

From infrastructure to defense, to the ports and overturned fishing boats destroyed by several storms and tsunamis last year. In his mouth, this largest coastal city in the south of the empire is simply a broken house with leaks everywhere.

When he was moved, he even shed tears, which moved others.

Listening to his eldest brother talking about the various shortcomings of Haibin City, Qi Langhai gradually widened his eyes.

"Huh?"

If he Qi Langhai was not a native of Haibin City, he would probably have donated money out of his own pocket to rebuild it.

Gu You suddenly realized: "So that's it."

'You actually believed it? ! '

Qi Langhai was shocked and began to suspect that the person who came today was the twin brother of the person yesterday.

Otherwise, why was I treated like a dog yesterday and then being treated like a dog by my own eldest brother today?

If Qi Xiaofeng had the ability to read minds at this time, he would probably learn from Gu You to hit Qi Langhai on the head, and call him "idiot".

As if he didn't want to be exposed to the sun, and as if he was tired of listening, Gu You put on a compassionate image that was seen through by others, waved his hand and said: "I understand your difficulties, take me in first."

"Yes, Lord Gu, please come in."

The moving words disappeared in an instant, Qi Xiaofeng turned around and kicked the real butler away, consciously played the role of butler, and introduced his own castle to the guests one by one.

Entering the castle, unlike the appearance, the interior of the castle is magnificent. Gold ornaments can be seen everywhere as if they are free, and exquisite weapons that can only be forged by eighth-level blacksmiths are hung on the wall, allowing guests to take them down and play with them.

Gu You turned a blind eye to this, walked a long distance, and then stopped to look at a portrait on the wall.

Seeing this, Qi Xiaofeng pointed to the portrait on the wall and introduced: "This is the first generation of the Qi family, named Qi Bing. According to the will of the late emperor, Qi Bing built Haibin City here to guard the south of the empire."

"It doesn't look like you."

"Many people say so."

Qi Xiaofeng shrugged and walked forward ten steps. Noticing the second portrait on the wall, Oscar asked: "Is this the second head of the Qi family?"

Seeing that Gu You didn't speak to stop him, Qi Xiaofeng smiled and said: "Lord Ao, that's not the case. This is Qi Potian, the eighth head of the Qi family."

"At that time, he tried his best and successfully defeated the enemy that could have destroyed Haibin. The two hundred-meter-high tsunami that hit the city. "

"To commemorate him and to remind the family to protect the coastal city like him, we hung his portrait next to the first head of the family."

"Not bad." Gu You nodded with satisfaction and asked, "What generation of the Qi family are you?"

Qi Xiaofeng replied, "The nineteenth."

"I look forward to you, Qi Xiaofeng, being the third portrait hung on the wall under the leadership of His Highness."

Qi Xiaofeng bowed his head suddenly and said in an excited tone, "Yes, our Qi family will not disappoint His Highness and the adults."

"Very good."

Patting Qi Xiaofeng on the shoulder, Gu You continued to move forward. While no one could see his face, Qi Xiaofeng, who bowed his head, showed a rather weird smile.

Not disappoint His Highness's expectations?

Not disappointing his own expectations.

Qi Xiaofeng wanted to laugh out loud.

The guy with the same name and surname as "Master Gu You" in front of him seemed to have no brains. He probably got the token by being loyal to Xue Qinghe.

Because as long as he is given a way out, no matter how bad he is, he is really willing to do it.

In Qi Xiaofeng's opinion, Gu You is no different from the nobles of Tiandou City that he has entertained in the past. Lustful and arrogant, if he is also greedy for money, he is the most typical noble of Tiandou City, or even worse.

Great, it happens to be his favorite "smart" person. Only such a person can he replace his position in front of His Highness in the future with peace of mind.

Before getting the prince... No, before getting the trust of His Majesty, he must continue to be patient and treat this guy well.

Now it's okay to kneel down and be a dog, but in the end it's okay to stand.

Under the guidance of Qi Xiaofeng, the three came to the reception room. As soon as the door was closed, Gu You sat in the main seat and stretched out his hand arrogantly: "Bring it."

It's good to ask for money, it's good to ask for money.

Qi Xiaofeng was very satisfied with Gu You's tactfulness. He gave a look to Qi Langhai standing behind him, watching him hurriedly take out the ring-shaped soul guide from his arms and hand it over.

"Master Gu, this is our "heartfelt gift."

Taking the soul guide and scanning it with his mental power, Gu You said with a smile: "Twenty?"

Qi Langhai gave a thumbs up: "Master, you have good eyesight."

"Not bad, you are thoughtful."

Gu You casually put the ring into his arms, and Qi Langhai took out two martial soul cards and stuffed them into Ma Hongjun and Oscar's hands with a flattering smile.

"It's just a small gift, not a respect, I hope you two masters will accept it."

It feels a bit disgusting to call a kid who is not even half his age "master", but there is no way, his eldest brother has said it, he can only follow.

Thinking on the bright side, when his eldest brother goes to Tiandou City to expand the territory, Haibin City will become his, Qi Langhai's?

Thinking of this, Qi Langhai is full of motivation, and the flattering smile on his face is a bit more real.

When the three accepted the Qi family's filial piety, both sides seemed very satisfied, skipping the greeting stage and going directly to the flattery stage.

It was almost lunch time. Seeing that Gu You was still not getting to the point, Qi Xiaofeng could not help but take the initiative to ask, "May I ask the three adults, what is the reason for coming here this time?" As if waking up from a dream, Gu You was surprised and said, "Didn't I tell you?" Qi Xiaofeng shook his head, and Gu You said easily, "I want to know the whereabouts of the Dragon Slasher and the Claw Dragon." "???" x3 The three big brothers of the Qi family looked at each other, and finally under the pressure of his eldest brother's eyes, Qi Langhai swallowed his saliva and said with difficulty: "Master Gu, you are looking for them for..." "I just reached level 40 some time ago, and I plan to use them as my fourth soul ring." "Fourth soul ring?!" Qi Langhai was surprised. He was a four-ring soul master who was not even 20 years old. In time, he would be a soul saint with a martial soul body. If he worked harder, it would not be a dream to be promoted to a title. Qi Tao widened his eyes and was also surprised by Gu You's choice. He had wasted almost five years since he became a Soul King, and had not practiced seriously at all. He had never thought that there would be such a talented person seeking death in the world.

‘It’s going to happen.’

Qi Xiaofeng was shocked and tried to dissuade him, fearing that the famous Tiandou man he had finally established a relationship with would suddenly die on the Fiery Islands.

It doesn't matter if he died suddenly, he should introduce him to Xue Qinghe first.

Seeing Gu You's firm attitude like a rock under a cliff, Qi Xiaofeng was numb. After thinking for a while, he said, "How about this, tomorrow I and my son will lead the team in person, I guarantee it will work."

"No need." Gu You raised his hand and refused directly: "Teacher Qin Ming will lead the team in person, I don't need you to point fingers."

Strongly asking the Qi family to prepare the boat tomorrow, and to put the collected information on the Dragon Slayer and the Claw Dragon in the Sailor's House for him to pick up tonight, Gu You didn't even eat and took people away directly, not giving the Qi family any face.

"Mistake."

Faced with a table of delicious dishes, Qi Xiaofeng rubbed his eyebrows with a little regret.

Looking at his face, he thought Gu You was just an ordinary confidant who was replaced casually, but he didn't expect that he was a genius soul master from the Royal Fighting Team.

With the potential accumulated by the Qi family so far, the position of "future title" in Xue Qinghe's heart cannot be shaken for the time being.

All the original means are invalid, and the idea of ​​replacing must be put away. Next, we will do our best to win over Gu You. At worst, we cannot tear the enemy apart.

Once the relationship is torn apart, we must kill him. If we kill the "future title", Xue Qinghe will definitely send a large army to attack.

Besides, killing may not work. He has also heard of Qin Ming's nickname of the second youngest Soul Emperor in history. Unless he takes action personally, no one can guarantee that Qin Ming will be left behind.

Similar stories of buying horse bones with a thousand gold coins also exist in Douluo Continent. In the past, the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect wanted Yu Xiaogang, and they had this idea to some extent.

However, in this room, only Qi Xiaofeng was worried about whether his malicious intentions would be discovered by Gu You. Qi Langhai and Qi Tao said that it didn't matter.

"Dad, those women."

Facing his beloved only son, Qi Xiaofeng was helpless. He sighed and said, "Do whatever you want. Remember to send them over after you're done."

"Got it."

When Qi Tao ran out of the room happily, Qi Langhai suggested, "Should we send someone to follow him?"

After that, he raised his palm like a knife and slashed across his neck. The meaning was obvious.

"No need." Qi Xiaofeng felt a little headache. "I'll leave the information and the ship to you. I'll think about whether there is a way to remedy it."

Just when Qi Xiaofeng had a headache, Oscar walked out of the castle and said proudly, "How is my acting?"

"Awesome." Gu You gave a thumbs up, "As expected of you, your acting skills are strong."

Compared with the wooden Ma Hongjun, Oscar, who was just very versatile, was the best. The two sang in unison and fooled the time directly.

After laughing, Gu You announced: "Let's go find Teacher Qin Ming first, and tomorrow morning, we will set out to hunt souls."

"Yes!" x2

——————————————

ps: Gu You's disguise is a high-minded and moody Tiandou noble, which just fits the stereotype in Qi Xiaofeng's mind. With the token in his hand, Ma Hongjun didn't suspect the flaws that he accidentally revealed.

Life is like a play. Qi Xiaofeng plays a loyal minister, so we can't let Gu You play a villain?
