In another equally luxurious room, Gu Zheng stood by the window, looking at the endless stream of people outside and sighing.
Compared to the cities he had seen before, the people here seemed to be living a much better life. Perhaps it was because it was in Feng City, or perhaps it was because the people of Snow Mountain had an office here, so the rich and powerful rarely bullied ordinary people.
If they were seen by the people of Snow Mountain, they would be severely punished before throwing them in front of his house. But all this seemed to be disappearing.
The golden dragon above his head, which used to be majestic in the breeze, now looked a little dispirited and was sleeping in the air. Even the surrounding black fog was eroding the golden fog, and a trace of golden light was constantly leaking out. It was obvious that something was destroying the foundation of the entire Lan Kingdom from the inside.
If this continued, there was no way to reverse the situation, then the moment when the golden dragon finally dissipated would be the moment when the Lan Kingdom was destroyed.
Of course, most of the Jin Xian could not see this scene. First, they were not deep in it, and second, they could not perceive the situation above.
But even so, there was still a very strong suppression on Gu Zheng. Even his soul could not be too far away from his body.
But as long as he did not do anything bad to the royal family, at least he did not have to worry about the golden dragon above him. What's more, if he helped it, it might help him.
The only thing that puzzled him was that he had almost lost Bei Chen's senses. He could only feel the last trace of him, as if he was trapped somewhere, so he could not know his specific location.
But then he remembered that Bei Chen was seriously injured, and the suppression here was even stronger. He was afraid that the strength he could exert was even less.
He did not know what had happened, but he knew that he was safe and sound. He did not know where Bei Chen was, so he could only look for him later.
But no matter what, at least he could be of help at a critical moment, especially when he knew that the Shura people were rushing towards him. And he did not know if there were any Goblin lurking in Feng City. Even if he had called for reinforcements, he was still a little nervous.
With the strength of the Shura people, he could only deal with two of them at his peak. And because of that, there was also the Goblin around. He was bound to have a fight with them.
Now, the first thing he had to do was to solve the problem of the Feng City. He had to let the Demon Race take the initiative to expose the existence of the Demon Race. Then, he would rescue Xue 'er. Only in this way could he face the dangers without any scruples.
As for the seal, Gu Zheng was no longer too concerned about it. Ever since he had come into contact with the fourth layer, the last layer of the seal had become somewhat broken for some reason. Even if he didn't go out of his way to break it, it would probably be undone automatically in tens of thousands of years.
If he wholeheartedly tried to break through the seal, it would probably take hundreds or thousands of years for him to fully recover his strength. Of course, this was all just his own guess.
However, now that he had pure fiendish energy in his body, his combat prowess had increased instead of decreased. Thus, he could put this matter aside for now. Perhaps he would inadvertently find the last piece of sealing material.
Very quickly, three days passed by. During these days, Gu Zheng was making the final adjustments. On the second day, Shuang 'er and the others asked Gu Zheng before they excitedly went out to play.
Shuang 'er was almost unaffected here. At least, Gu Zheng did not have to worry about their safety.
On this day, Gu Zheng had just finished adjusting his breath when Shuang 'er came back with Ah Shou and the others. When they passed by Gu Zheng's room, they were directly called in by Gu Zheng.
"What's wrong, Young Master Gu? Are we going to find Sister Xue 'er and the others?" Shuang' er did not understand and asked curiously.
"Put down the things in your hands first. I have something to tell you." Gu Zheng looked at the three people. Their big and small hands were full of things. It seemed that they had bought a lot of things these days. Anyway, he did not have to worry about the money he gave Shuang 'er.
"Crash!"
Shuang 'er did not hesitate to throw the things in her hands aside. Gu Zheng's eyebrows twitched. She did not know how to cherish them at all. Ah Shou, Xiao Lan and the others carefully put the things on the ground.
"We are not going to see your Sister Xue 'er. When you went out, I have already looked for their place. I know that they seem to have gone out to do something. It will probably be some time before they come back." Gu Zheng said without blushing.
"Oh, that's okay. We will wait for them here. This place feels much bigger than our hometown. There are a lot of things here." Shuang 'er said indifferently.
Any street here might be bigger than that small city. Not to mention, all the good things of this human world were gathered here. How could they be compared?
However, Gu Zheng did not ask her about this. Moreover, he wanted them to have a good rest.
"The three of you, stay here for the next few days. I have some things to do." Gu Zheng said gently.
"No, Young Master Gu. Don't leave us alone." Shuang 'er immediately shook her head. She did not agree.
"Master, where are you going? Is it inconvenient?" Ah Shou was a little more sensible and asked.
"Yes, I have some things that are inconvenient. You can wait for me here. Shuang 'er, you have to be more sensible like Ah Shou." Gu Zheng said to Shuang' er.
After a while, four figures came down from the restaurant and walked towards the street outside.
Shuang 'er happily followed Gu Zheng. Behind them were Ah Shou and Ah Shou, who were a little surprised.
Shuang 'er would not stay here alone. She was unfamiliar with this place. Even if she could self-destruct now, no one could bully her. She did not lack money. However, she did not want to stay here. She just wanted to follow Gu Zheng.
Looking at Gu Zheng's helpless face, Shuang 'er stuck out her tongue and said coquettishly, "Okay, I promise you that I will not cause trouble for you. If you really have something to do, just go and do it. Don't tell us."
"It's good that you know. This time, I really have something to do. I don't want you to get involved. It's better for you to stay there obediently." Gu Zheng said helplessly.
Shuang 'er insisted on following him. Later, he considered that the situation was too unstable and Shuang' er might not know what to do. So, he simply took them with him. At worst, he would take one step at a time.
"Don't worry, I won't cause trouble. Besides, I'm very strong now. Maybe I can help you." Shuang 'er raised her small fist. She felt that any enemy who appeared in front of her would be defeated by her fist.
Gu Zheng only smiled and continued to lead them forward. As for their carriages, they had already thrown them away. As for the carriage, it had already been thrown away.
In Feng City, there were some obvious invisible boundaries. Most of the people near the south gate of the three acropolis were civilians of Feng City. It could be said that Gu Zheng's location was the Southern District.
In sharp contrast to the Southern District, it was the Western District.
It was completely different from this area. Most of the houses in the Southern District were ordinary single-story houses. There were very few houses that occupied a large area. However, this area was indeed the most prosperous area. All kinds of trading shops stood in this area, and there were a lot of them.
In the Western District, although there was only a very wide street in the middle, most of the people who lived here were rich merchants. The Eastern District and the Western District were similar. In the Northern District, there were basically officials with important positions.
Although there were some in the Southern District, and there was no lack of people with high official positions, there were even more rich merchants. Therefore, the houses here were all competing with each other, and each of them spared no expense in building their own mansion so that they could be in the limelight and compete with the other families.
Of course, there were always a few families here that people would not have the heart to compete with. They occupied a lot more land than others. The people who lived here were the influential Xu family.
They occupied an area of dozens of acres. It was simply shocking to those rich people who worked hard all their lives to live here. However, no one would be jealous, and no one dared to slander them.
The Xu family had been prosperous along with the Lan Country since the founding of the country. For generations, they were influential figures in the court and were highly regarded by the royal family.
Of course, they were not the only family. There were at least a dozen families that were comparable to them. However, they were still very glorious.
As a servant of the Xu family, of course, he was more confident. Even if he was just a doorman, he was more powerful than the housekeepers of other rich merchants.
Wang Gui, the doorman of the Xu family, thought so. However, when anyone came to visit the Xu family, no matter their identity or origin, no matter how big or small their official position, they would be very polite to him. They would greet him with a smile and would not dare to offend him.
Although he had only been in this position for three years, he felt that he was already a big man. Especially when those people wanted him to announce, they would inevitably show him some respect.
Otherwise, if he did not announce it, or did not announce it later, the other party would not be able to do anything to him.
Of course, he also knew that there were some things that were slow and some things that were urgent. He still had a good eye and knew that there were some people that could not be offended.
Moreover, he had a glib tongue and was at the beck and call of his family's young masters and young mistresses. He was extremely respectful and pleasing to them. Therefore, even if there were some small movements, others would turn a blind eye to him. One had to know that he also knew how to conduct himself and was filial to those that he should be filial to.
Now, there were rumors that the Lord's side relatives saw him and wanted to borrow him to be an external housekeeper. After Wang Gui heard about it, he felt very happy in his heart. However, he was also reluctant to give up this position.
After all, he could get to know more high-ranking officials and noble people here. With their young masters and young mistresses, he would at least have more power than a housekeeper. Even if there were dozens of people here, they would all be his subordinates.
It was currently afternoon and the sun was shining on his body. After most of the guests left at noon, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief and relax.
Wang Gui was waiting outside the door. He moved a rattan chair and prepared to have a good rest. He closed his eyes and listened to the slight sound of the wind. He fell into a deep sleep in a daze. Suddenly, he heard a few footsteps in front of him.
"Excuse me, is this the Xu Family?"
Wang Gui had just woken up and was woken up by this voice. The uncomfortable feeling in his heart made a ball of fire appear in his heart. He did not even open his eyes as he spoke in a bad mood.
"Don't you see the plaque above? Are you blind? "
Wang Gui could tell at a glance that this was the first time this person had come here. In addition, with such a young voice and coming at this time, it was definitely not something important.
Nonsense, who would come here in the afternoon if they had something to do? That was why Wang Gui was like this.
"Why is this person like this? Not polite at all. If it were me, I would directly fire him." A pleasant female voice came from beside his ear, causing Wang Gui to open his sleepy eyes.
A man and a woman, very young. Behind them were two half-grown children. They looked like a family, but their ages did not match. It was very strange.
"What are you disturbing me for? I don't know that the Lord is not seeing any guests in the afternoon." Wang Gui stood up in a bad mood. The sleepiness in his heart had already disappeared. He put away the rattan chair in his hand and put it aside.
She saw that there was no carriage behind them. Although they all looked very glamorous, except for the man who had some taste, the clothes of the other three were obviously newly bought. Who knew what they were here for? She just casually answered the other side.
When Shuang Er saw the other party treat them like this, she wanted to go up and argue with him. However, she was gently blocked behind him. She spoke to Wang Gui again.
"Haha, little brother, I know we came at the wrong time. Please inform your family. Even if your family's head is not home, it is fine to tell your steward."
"What are you doing in our Xu Family? We do not lack any positions here. Moreover, we will not recommend anyone. Hurry up and leave." Seeing the good attitude of the man in front of him, Wang Gui felt a little better. He did not have the same impatience as before and spoke to them.
Every year, who knew how many people wanted to take a shortcut. This kind of thing did not need others to come forward. He could send them away.
"I am not like what you say. I am a side relative of the Xu Family. I specially came here from afar." Gu Zheng said with a smile. He took out the letter and handed it over. "As long as you deliver this letter to your family head, you will know whether it is true or not."
"Is that so?" Hearing this, Wang Gui did not dare to show any expression. If the other party was a relative of the family head, then a small servant like him would not be able to withstand the other party's casual words.
However, his expression was also very doubtful. This was because he had never heard of a relative coming here. However, he seemed to have heard the news from outside.
It seemed that the entire road was in turmoil. Perhaps in order to avoid future turmoil, they deliberately let their family's Zi Gui come here. This was not impossible.
"Can you let me take a look at your letter? Sir, please do not worry. I do not want to see the contents. I only want to see the outside. I will not open it. " Wang Gui looked at the man's calm and composed expression. Moreover, the woman's angry expression did not seem to be fake. He quickly spoke carefully.
If they dared to impersonate a relative of the Xu Family, the consequences were not something that anyone could bear.
To his surprise, the young man on the other side handed the letter over and said, "Don't worry.
"In any case, you will be the one to hand it to the family head. This does not matter."
Looking at the beautiful letter, Wang Gui carefully looked at it. Although he was not very literate, the Xu Family had consulted their private school teachers and taught them some simple words.
"Personal!"
But he was stunned to find that there were no other words on it except for these two bold and powerful words. It was all white, and there were only two simple words on it. But the inside of Faith was heavy, as if there was something inside.
Even so, he did not dare to easily set an example. He said apologetically, "Young Master, Young Miss, our family head is currently meeting with an important guest. Previously, it was just an excuse. Please do not take offense. Moreover, I do not know if the family head has the time to meet you. Perhaps I will have to wait outside for a while."
If the other party was really a relative of the Xu Family, he could just give the other party an apology and everything would be fine. If the other party dared to trick him, then he would be tricking the Xu Family. He would not have to do anything.
"Alright then, I will wait for you here." The young man was unusually easy to talk to. Wang Gui breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly ran in through the side door.
He ran all the way to the main hall where the family head was meeting with guests, causing the people outside to look at him curiously.
However, he was stopped by a guard outside.
"There is someone outside who claims to be a relative of the family head. Please allow me to go in and report." Wang Gui naturally knew this result and also knew what the guard would do next. He was just showing an attitude to show that he was serious and responsible.
"No, unless it is an important matter, no one is allowed to enter until the family head is finished." As expected, the guard's cold voice sounded.
Seeing this, Wang Gui also did what he was supposed to do. Just as he was about to go back and inform the other party to come back later, he happened to see First Madam passing by. Hearing Wang Gui's words, she stopped Wang Gui with interest.
"A relative? That's really strange. Could it be a descendant of a married daughter? "
The Xu family had married many people from other countries. In the past, there were also descendants who came here to seek help. However, they rarely sought refuge here. At least, when she had just married here, she had seen it once.
Seeing that he was being watched, Wang Gui hurriedly greeted and repeated his words.
"Since they are family, don't let them wait outside. Let them stay in the guest room first. When the family head has time, he will naturally entertain them." The First Madam ordered indifferently. Then, she spoke to the maid beside her.
"Xiao Cui, go and bring them here. Don't be impolite. Everything has to be arranged well, understand?"
"Yes, Madam, this servant understands." Xiao Cui replied crisply and followed behind Wang Gui as they walked towards the door.
Soon, Xiao Cui arrived outside the door. Looking at the seemingly perfect couple, a trace of envy flashed in her heart. To be able to become the First Madam's maid, her appearance was not bad. Unfortunately, compared to this couple, she was like a maid from the countryside.
"This time, those young masters are going to go crazy." Xiao Cui had a thought in her mind.
Because at a glance, it was obvious that these two were not husband and wife. It was very likely that they were brother and sister. The two children behind them were probably from the younger generation.
With such a beautiful relative, how could those rich and powerful relatives not have thoughts of her? Moreover, the little girl behind her would be a nobody when she grew up. No one knew where this relative came from, but she actually had such an outstanding descendant.
Although the handsome man was not very handsome, he had a special temperament that made Xiao Cui's heart pound.
As for Wang Gui, he knew his identity and would not have any other thoughts. He just needed to be his gatekeeper.
