In fact, after returning to Star City, Gu Yuan planned to come to Haicheng to see Manzhao and find out the truth.
It happened that Dadi Mountain was not far from Haicheng. Gu Yuan thought about it and simply took a step ahead. It would be enough time to wait until he saw that the load was full before rushing to Dadi Mountain.
Kong Baihe's expression was slightly surprised.
Only now did he know Gu Yuan's purpose in coming to Haicheng.
"Looking for a full load?" Kong Baihe hesitated briefly and then understood, "I see..."
"By the way, what are you doing with Manzai?" Gong Tingyu asked.
Kong Baihe knew that Gu Yuan had gone to sea before, but he didn't know!
Hearing Kong Baihe and Gu Yuan start playing riddles, as a Menggu man, he suddenly started to feel anxious.
"Why are you asking so many questions? Drive well. This is what you, a member of the Yaosi in a small town, should know?" Kong Baihe said in a loud voice without giving Gu Yuan a chance to answer.
Gong Jade: "..."
He had no choice but to regard Kong Baihe's behavior as retaliation.
"Not to mention knocking you off, but I'm actually not that curious." Gong Tingyu immediately pretended not to care.
Gu Yuan said before that he came to Haicheng to reminisce about old times, but he didn't expect that he would go as far as he said.
Geng Fuyi had already rushed to Dadi Mountain, but he met Gong Gongyu first. Wasn't this just a reminder of the past?
And Gu Yuan was also quite curious about the choice of palace jade.
Like Kong Baihe, Gong Tingyu comes from a big family, but unlike Kong Baihe, Gong Tingyu's status in the family is obviously much better.
Kong Baihe chose to join the Demon Suppression Division, with half being "active" and "half passive".
As for palace jade, it seems that this is not necessary at all.
When Gu Yuan asked about this, Gong Tingyu smiled with a smile, but there was more helplessness in the smile.
"You don't understand, do you? Actually, I don't understand either."
"Um?"
"This is not my intention, but my family's intention." Gong Tingyu said, "They said that if I stay at home, my life will be over. No matter what my ability is, the Gong family will still be the Gong family, even if I No matter how incompetent I am, there will be other people helping to keep an eye on it, and ultimately there won’t be any big trouble. But no matter how great I am, the upper limit is just like this, and it won’t change much.”
Having said this, he tilted his neck and glanced at Gu Yuan, and said, "This is boring, isn't it? I thought about it carefully and found that life like this is indeed terrible. Therefore, the Demon Suppression Division is actually a place full of uncertainties. place. Kong Baihe, you think so too, right?"
"You and I have different ideas." Kong Baihe said with a frown.
"Oh, yes, we are different. As long as I want, I can return to the Gong family. Sooner or later, the position of the head of the family will be mine, but you are different." Gong Tingyu said with a sarcastic face.
Although the Gong family is in Haicheng and the Kong family is in Beijing, families of this level must know each other.
Even if Gong Tingyu doesn't want to know some information, it's impossible not to know it.
I thought my words would make Kong Baihe furious, but the other party's reaction made Gong Tingyu a little disappointed.
The other party seemed to have heard nothing and was still chatting with Gu Yuan.
This made Gong Tingyu very uncomfortable, as if a punch from thirty years of skill had hit the air.
Gee, that’s really boring…
After about an hour's journey, Gong Tingyu drove into a courtyard in the center of Haicheng City.
In Haicheng, where land is at a premium, this courtyard seems very empty. There is only a three-story building, and there is a big wolf dog at the door, looking at the door warily.
"What is this place?" Kong Baihe asked as he got out of the car and looked around.
"This... to put it simply, is the territory of the sword holder. Whether he works or lives here, it just so happens that the person you are looking for is also here." Gong Tingyu said succinctly.
"Such a big place?" Gu Yuan was shocked.
"That's not true." Gong Tingyu walked in front and explained while leading the way, "The situation here in Haicheng is quite special. This place is not only the office of the sword holder, but also the cleaners. . In addition, the captains of the Demon Suppression Department and Demon Slayer Department also have to come over for meetings every week."
"Wait...cleaners?" Gu Yuan asked in surprise, "Are there still cleaners stationed in Haicheng?"
"Yes." Gong Tingyu narrowed his eyes and continued, "Not only that, starting from this month, there will be two Star Lords stationed in Haicheng, but now, they have not arrived yet."
"Xingjun?" At this time, even Kong Baihe couldn't hold himself any longer, "Is something going to happen in Haicheng?"
"I don't know. I think it's okay for the time being." Gong Tingyu said, "Anyway, this is a decision from above, and we can't explain it clearly. But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense! After all, this is Haicheng. , what’s wrong with the few star kings stationed there?”
"When the time comes, I'm afraid that Geng Fuyi, the sword holder, will have a hard time." Kong Baihe said in a low voice.
Gong Tingyu was stunned for a moment and said in confusion: "What do you call this? Isn't this a good thing? When the two Xingjuns come, Haicheng will become more stable, and the pressure on Lord Geng will be much less. "
Kong Baihe took a deep look at Gong Gongyu.
"I used to think that your brain was not fully developed, but I didn't expect that your cerebellum was also completely underdeveloped."
"What?"
"Suppose you are a small manager in a company, and there are ten or twenty people under you. One day, the general manager suddenly wants to work in the same office as you. Wouldn't you feel uncomfortable? Although, you still have the position of manager .”
"Hmm..." Gong Tingyu began to think deeply.
He felt that he had slowly understood what the other party meant.
It's really uncomfortable to think about it this way.
Although strictly speaking, the sword holders of a city are not inferior to the Xingjun of Guanlong Mountain. The two are considered equal, but how can there be so many "standard" things in the world?
There are two guards standing at the door of the small building. They are also warriors and wear uniforms.
When they came to the front, Gong Gongyu immediately took out a jade plaque, and then he could lead Gu Yuan and Kong Baihe into it without any hindrance.
"This sign was given to me by the Sword Holder before he left. Otherwise, you two would really not be able to get in!" Gong Gongyu said proudly.
"Don't say such useless words, as if...you can't come in without this sign." Kong Baihe said with a smile.
Gong Tingyu coughed lightly but said nothing.
"By the way, how is Manzai doing now?" Gu Yuan asked following behind.
"Eat well, dress well, and go to school every day. Did you see it when you came here before? There is a primary school over there." Gong Tingyu said with a smile.
Gu Yuan was a little surprised.
"go to school?"
"Yes, Manzai is only protected by us now, but he is not a prisoner. We can't affect his original life, right? No matter how hard it is, we can't suffer the children, no matter how poor we are, we can't afford education..."
"That's good." Gu Yuan smiled.
Kong Baihe also expressed emotion: "Looking at the entire Haicheng, there is probably no safer place than this."
"That is!"
It can be seen that Geng Fuyi still attaches great importance to full load.
After all, all signs indicate that the time when the sea monster landed in Haicheng is inextricably related to Manzhao.
Before the reason is figured out, an accident cannot happen under any circumstances when the load is full.
Arriving at a room at the corner of the second floor, Gong Tingyu knocked on the door, and then a man opened the door.
When the other party saw Gu Yuan behind Gong Tingyu, his eyes instantly brightened.
"Hero! Why are you here!"
When Gu Yuan saw this person, he had a somewhat shocked expression on his face.
"wooden club?"
Gong Tingyu said with a smile: "Manzai is still a child after all, and someone has to take care of him. After much deliberation, his uncle is the most suitable. If it were anyone else, Manzai might not be able to adapt."
"I'm interested." Gu Yuan nodded lightly.
"You should keep talking to Mr. Geng about this. Anyway, this is what he meant." Gong Tingyu said with a smile.
Gu Yuan smiled.
Geng Fuyi used to be a member of the Demon Slayer Army. He gave the impression that he was vigorous and resolute, but he didn't expect to be so careful. No wonder he was entrusted with the important task of becoming the sword holder of Haicheng.
Just like Gong Tingyu said before, this is Haicheng, not an ordinary city!
"Heroes, come in, come in quickly!" Bangchui's skin has turned a lot whiter, and he still has a very good impression of Gu Yuankong Baihe.
After all, if it weren't for Gu Yuan and others when they were in the fishing village, it would be unknown whether he and Man Zai would still be alive now.
To say that these young people were his saviors would be an understatement.
After entering the room, Gu Yuan looked around, feeling a little confused about whether to laugh or cry.
"I said Bangchui, why are you still hanging fishing nets to dry?" he asked doubtfully.
This house is actually not too big, just two bedrooms and one living room, but it is enough for Bangchui and Manzai to live here.
Bangchui scratched his head and said, "This house is nice, but I always feel a little uncomfortable. After a little renovation, it looks much better. I like it too."
As he said that, he shouted into the room: "It's full, it's full! Come out quickly! Look who's coming!"
In a bedroom, there was a TV playing, and it sounded like Ultraman was playing. Then, a small step was heard. When Manzai came out of the room and saw Gu Yuan and Kong Baihe, they also had expressions on their faces. surprised.
"Brother, a good man!" He was filled with joy.
Looking at the fat man, Gu Yuan was suddenly stunned.
He stretched out his hand and pulled Wan Zai to him, then put his hands on Wan Zai's armpits and lifted him up.
"Sure enough, you've gained a lot of weight!" Gu Yuan rubbed Man Zai's head again and looked at the chubby little boy. Gu Yuan felt a little sour in his heart. In a daze, he seemed to hear a voice somewhere. He called out "Guo Guo".
