Chapitre 229: Chapter 199: Accepting the Challenge

The next morning, while Gu Chen was practicing in the small courtyard of the Gu Mansion, the Duke of the Liang State and Commander Chen Yu of the Jing Tian Department paid a visit.

Uncle Zhang at the gatehouse saw these two guests and quickly ran to the inner courtyard to inform Gu Chen.

"What?! The Duke of the Liang State and the Commander of the Jing Tian Department have come in person!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Chengfeng's family was astonished. Even Xu Qinge and her daughter Gu Qingyan, who were not involved in the court affairs, knew the significance of the Duke and the Commander in Da Xia.

They never imagined that Gu Chen's importance had risen to the point where such high-ranking individuals would visit him personally.

The event of the Crown Prince's visit the previous day was kept from Gu Chengfeng's family to avoid causing them worry. Had they known, they would have been even more surprised.
