Barrier of Light

The Snow Forbidden City is very large, and tourists from the Jiangbei region often need a week to enjoy themselves.

The Snow Forbidden City is also very small.

Gu Xiaoman had been looking forward to it for six years, and finally visited every corner of this ancient city in only seven days.

Xiaoman had a great time these seven days.

Gu Shen took her to see many places that were not found in Zhongzhou. The five families maintained Nagano very well, and most of the places of interest were well preserved...

Chu Ling holds an umbrella and the three of them walk together. The painting style is very warm.

It just looks a bit like...a family of three.

But it's really fun.

Xiaoman has already recognized Chu Ling's "sister-in-law status", and she is always inseparable from Chu Ling.

Chu Ling also liked this little girl who had a miserable life experience and was helpless.

As for the "Lord of Wine"... this identity has long been forgotten in these seven days.

On both sides of the Ninghe River that runs through the Snow Forbidden City, there are ancient buildings and old alleys that have been deliberately preserved. Here there are "shop waiters" deliberately dressed as vendors from the ancient times, shouting under the hanging drone electronic banners, holding activities, and attracting traffic.

Many people were taking photos and it was very lively.

Gu Shen and the others walked into a popular restaurant in Ninghe. This restaurant retains the ancient appearance of a classical teahouse from hundreds of years ago. It has four floors. The interior of the restaurant's back kitchen is in a bright modern industrial style, but the decoration is exposed to the guests. The result is green bricks and green tiles, antique.

The gimmick of this restaurant is "ancient civilization".

On the top floor of the restaurant, there are flags flying horizontally.

"I don't know what Afu will think when he sees this scene..."

Gu Xiaoman sat by the window, looking at the bustling crowd below, and couldn't help but laugh: "The ancient civilization was much more advanced than ours now."

Gu Shen also smiled: "I heard that Nagano City was established six hundred years ago. Perhaps many years ago, there really was an 'ancient civilization' here that was completely different from Afu and the others."

"Too."

Gu Xiaoman said with emotion: "The world is so big, there are all kinds of wonders."

The more you understand the whole world, the more you realize your own insignificance.

The "starships" built by Afu in that era were certainly shocking.

But outside the ice sea, how could we know that there is no larger and more powerful civilization?

"correct."

After a few brief chats, Gu Xiaoman pretended to be casual and said: "I'm done visiting the Snow Forbidden City, I'm going back."

"go back?"

Before Gu Shen could speak, Chu Ling asked, "Aren't you going to go to Dadu to have a look?"

After the divine infant was taken out of Sangzhou Cave, he has been fostered in Dadu Huazhi.

Every time she wakes up and heads south to the Ice Sea, Chu Ling will pass by Dadu, and she will take a look...

She was also planning to take Gu Xiaoman to see the baby from back then.

"No..."

Xiao Man shook his head and said with a smile: "I know what happened outside these days."

Negotiations on Yuanting Island have ended.

In the past few days, there have been shadows passing over Nagano from time to time. Ordinary people may not be able to see clearly, but Gu Xiaoman's mental power is strong enough. She knows that it is the joint fleet of Central City and Nagano that is returning...

Deepwater networks have exploded.

Because there has been no news about the cloud ship fleets in the City of Light and the Tower of Source, some people also discovered that the Church of Storms was preparing to block the coastline.

Two divine envoys from the Tower of Source disappeared mysteriously.

Red Dragon and Suzaku have already lodged a solemn protest. The Central Continent Council has officially put pressure on the Holy City. The coastline of Yuanting Island cannot be blocked... In a few days, the extraordinary people from the Tower of Source will go south. If the Holy City is like this Bian prepared to resist and even sent out saints.

Then Shangcheng will also issue a ban.

In the face of absolute strength, even if Nanzhou joins the alliance between Nagano and Central City, he can only bow his head and compromise.

Gu Xiaoman knew very well that the key point of this "contradiction" was not the so-called "god envoy"...

Red Dragon and Suzaku just used "the disappearance of the divine envoy" to exert pressure.

The person Tower of Source really wants to see is himself.

As long as you don't show up.

Then things will intensify. The coastal blockade of Yuanting Island will attract the two major alliances to continuously increase their bets. If it reaches an extreme situation that cannot be detoured, it will be too late to show up again.

"The news that you are still alive... the red dragon should have known about it, right?"

Gu Xiaoman looked at Gu Shen with a smile.

"..."

Gu Shen's silence was the answer.

He looked at this smart little girl and couldn't help but sigh: "Did you guess that?"

"Does this require guessing?"

Gu Xiaoman sneered, leaning on his elbows to look at the scenery of Ninghe outside the window: "I am also the future 'Lord of Wine'. The Tower of Source is desperately trying to find out any news about me on Yuanting Island, and the Church of Storms is You tried your best to resist, and saw that the two groups were about to fight. Even if you pretended to be calm on the surface, you couldn't be at all panic... You have been feeling uncomfortable taking me out for sightseeing in the past few days. You have obviously thought of your next move. .”

Gu Shen smiled and said, "Continue."

"The red dragon, it can only be the red dragon. He is the only one who can bring me back to the Tower of Origin safe and sound, and explain the accident that destroyed the 'Cloud Ship Fleet', so that Qinglong can feel completely at ease..."

Gu Xiaoman stared seriously into Gu Shen's eyes and asked word for word: "It's like you asked him to take me away... There is no other explanation for this matter. You two must be in the same group. If If my guess is correct, he must have contacted you countless times in the past few days, right? You can really keep your composure and just hide the news from the outside and let me eat, drink and wander around Nagano for seven days? "

Gu Shen picked up his chopsticks, pointed at the dishes on the table, and said with a smile without answering: "It's time to eat, it's time to drink. Don't take it to heart if you have something to worry about."

"Hey, did you make a mistake?"

Gu Xiaoman put his hands on his hips and said angrily: "There's almost a fight outside! I'm already anxious, why are you not anxious at all?!"

Gu Shen picked up a piece of tofu, chewed it carefully, and said calmly: "So is there a fight outside?"

Gu Xiaoman was startled: "...No."

"If there is a fight, it will be the Church of Storms who will be beaten." Gu Shen said calmly: "They deserve a beating in the first place."

The Holy City should have been held responsible for the crash of the Cloud Ship Fleet.

Because of themselves, the fleets in Central City and Nagano were spared.

However, this matter cannot be explained clearly. Rather than the Queen and Baizhu dragging Storm into joining the group, it is better to say that Central City and Nagano took the blame for the Ice Sea mission in exchange for such a "burden" of the Church.

In the final plan, the only person in Nanzhou who came in handy was the God of Storms himself.

Gu Xiaoman had guessed correctly, but she guessed a little wrong.

That is, in the past few days, Red Dragon did not urge Gu Shen too much.

After Gu Shen returned to Dongzhou with Xiao Man, he contacted the "064" Red Dragon through Chu Ling and informed him of the secret information about Xiao Man's safety. After the crash of the Cloud Ship Fleet, the most anxious person was the Red Dragon, but after knowing the news , Hong Long, an absolute showman, started to perform, and the subsequent negotiations and pressure were all pretended by him.

Next, he will personally lead the team to break through the blockade of Yuanting Island.

At that time, Gu Shen will send people to the ice sea.

The handover task is considered complete.

Although the subsequent incidents on Yuanting Island have become more and more intense in the past few days, Red Dragon only sent some simple greetings to Gu Shen.

He did not mention the progress of the Yuanting Island incident at all, nor did he urge Gu Shen to surrender.

He just asked with concern where Xiaoman had been these past few days and if he had fun...

This guy.

He is a real two-faced person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside.

Red Dragon has always known that Gu Xiaoman's wish is to go to Nagano...so this time, he wants to make up for the wish he owes Xiaoman.

The meal was finished without any taste.

Gu Shen crossed his arms and looked at Xiao Man, the two of them just stared at each other silently.

Gu Shen suddenly asked: "Do you still remember what I said to you on the initial number?"

Gu Xiaoman felt complicated.

"Remember everything you said."

She sighed softly and asked, "Which sentence are you referring to?"

"If you don't have the will to hold up the sky, don't step forward."

Gu Shen said seriously: "If you feel tired, don't want to bear the weight of the 'Lord of Wine', and want to stay in Nagano... now may be the last chance. I will ask Mr. Bai Shu to take action. You don't need to follow up on the Yuanting Island incident." Guan, from now on you just need to stay here, and the chaos and struggles in the outside world have nothing to do with you."

Gu Xiaoman was stunned.

"But……"

She subconsciously wanted to say something, but when the words reached her lips, she stopped right there.

She already knew the layout of Mr. Bai Zhu and the Queen, and knew that Dongzhou and Beizhou decided to jointly attack the Tower of Source——

These people have done so much foreshadowing and planning.

What should they do if they shrink back?

"Don't overestimate your role."

Gu Shen could tell the little girl's thoughts at a glance: "Before you become the 'Lord of Wine', you are just an ordinary person."

"If the sky falls, there will be tall people to carry it. There is Mr. Bai Shu in Nagano, and of course...there will be me."

He smiled and said: "Don't get me wrong, I am not a noble person. I never thought that I would become the taller one at the beginning. This is the key to what I say to you. If You have decided to return to the Tower of Origin. Next time we meet, you may be the taller one, and you won’t be able to back out even if you want to.”

"..."

The flagpole outside the window swayed in the wind.

Gu Xiaoman looked at the blue sky of Nagano, feeling a little dazed for a moment.

She likes this quiet ancient city.

But she doesn't want to live here for a long time. The blood flowing in some people's bodies is very hot, and a short rest is enough.

She had only stayed for seven days, and she already began to miss the days of hard work.

Chu Ling couldn't bear it after looking at Gu Xiaoman's half-confused and half-confused expression of pain.

She tugged at Gu Shen and whispered, "Isn't it a little cruel for you to just let her make the decision?"

"Hey, you didn't treat me like this back then."

Recalling the scene when he first met Chu Ling in Ling Ling Yao's carriage, Gu Shen said angrily: "It's really...a loving mother often loses her son."

Chu Ling: "???"

After a moment of silence, Gu Xiaoman took a deep breath. She rubbed her cheek vigorously to wake herself up, and then looked at Gu Shen.

Gu Xiaoman said word by word: "I want to go back."

"Seriously?" Gu Shen raised his eyebrows and asked, "There is no turning back from now on."

"Why are you looking back? You look down on me too much!"

Gu Xiaoman snorted coldly and said: "What is it about whether the sky is falling or not, whether one is tall or not? What you said is too complicated and too lofty... I don't have any lofty ambitions. I just feel unhappy with the Tower of Origin and want to win it." "The fire of wine', and then give Qinglong a hard blow!"
