Hearing Zuo Qiujie's words, Gu Xiao couldn't help but frown. Although he didn't understand tactics, it didn't mean he had no brains.

"The idea is good, but how are you going to blame Zuo Qiumao for Li Chengyu's death? Furthermore, Li Chengyu is just the head of the Li family, how can his death shake the royal family?"

Zuo Qiujie was stunned for a moment, then chuckled.

"Brother Gu, you may not know something. The four great families in the Imperial City have existed since the founding of the Yue Kingdom. To be precise, without the four great families, the Yue Kingdom would not have been able to establish itself."

Gu Xiao raised his eyebrows, then nodded, indicating that he understood.

Seeing that Gu Xiao understood his subtext, Zuo Qiujie did not continue to explain, because he knew that with Gu Xiao's temperament, he would not participate at all.

"Brother Gu, I will take responsibility for this matter myself, but when chaos breaks out, I will have to rely on Brother Gu."

The meaning of Zuo Qiujie's words should not be too obvious.

Before, Gu Xiao might have declined politely, but now...

But Gu Xiao did not refuse or agree. After nodding, he changed the subject and asked, "When chaos breaks out, will Li Yichun be neutral, or will he side with Zuo Qiumao?"

"Brother Gu, don't worry about this. He won't care if the prince seizes the heir!"

As if to ease Gu Xiao's heart, as soon as Gu Xiao finished speaking, Zuo Qiujie quickly opened his mouth to explain, but he did not realize the real purpose of Gu Xiao's words.

Gu Xiao smiled slightly in his heart, but his face showed thoughts. After a moment, he frowned and shook his head: "Even if you say so, I still feel uneasy. Is there any way you can make Li Yichun remain neutral?"

"This..." Zuoqiu Jie lowered his head and actually started to think about it.

Little did he know that he had completely fallen into Gu Xiao's trap.

Seeing this, Gu Xiao smiled again in his heart and waited patiently.

After pondering for a long time, Zuoqiu Jie's expression suddenly changed: "Brother Gu and Mo Jing have a close relationship. How about Brother Gu being served by Mo Jing while he is in the imperial city?"

After getting the answer he wanted, Gu Xiao was slightly relieved, but in order to prevent Zuo Qiujie from seeing anything, he still pretended to think about it, showed a hint of confusion, and then nodded.

But Gu Xiao didn't know. Zuo Qiujie felt happy when he saw Gu Xiao nodding.

Because he just proposed to let Mo Jing serve Gu Xiao, and the idea was to let Mo Jing monitor all Gu Xiao's actions.

Although they each have their own thoughts, they still need each other, so it can be considered a happy situation for everyone.

After achieving his goal, Gu Xiaoben didn't stay any longer, and excused himself with the excuse that Lin Xueyu still needed to be taken care of.

Naturally, Zuo Qiujie didn't stay long and sent Gu Xiao away politely. But when Gu Xiao's figure disappeared, Zuo Qiujie's smiling face suddenly sank.

"How did you manage to rescue this person... Without the control of the Lin family, it would be a huge disaster..."

After finishing his words, Zuo Qiujie rubbed his forehead again.

After a long time, Zuo Qiujie sighed and returned to the room. After sitting down, his thoughts were racing and he was frowning.

This night is destined to be sleepless.

Also sleepless was Zuo Qiu Mao.

"What did you say?! Lin Jinsong was rescued?!"

"yes……"

"Trash!"

With a bang, the person who replied was hit on the forehead by the tea cup. His face was covered with blood in an instant, but he didn't dare to breathe. He lowered his head and shivered.

"Have I never explained it before, or have you lost your brain?! To restrain Gu Xiao, it must be Lin Xueyu, and to restrain Lin Xueyu, it must be Lin Jinsong! Are you turning a deaf ear to my words?!"

"I don't dare! It's just Your Highness, the two people who came to rescue Lin Jinsong, one is at the sixth level of supernatural power, but his combat power is ridiculously high, and the other person, although his cultivation level is not high, is throwing away magic treasures and talismans as if they are free.

Coupled with another night attack..."

"That's enough! Now that the person has been rescued, I don't want to hear these useless excuses! Just tell me, where is Lin Jinsong now?!"

Zuo Qiumao's question made the speaker's heart tremble again, and then he hesitated on his face and evaded his eyes.

Seeing this appearance, Zuo Qiumao's anger grew even more.

"That is to say, once a person is rescued, he cannot be recaptured again, right?!"

There was a thump, followed by several bang-dong-dong bangs, but Zuo Qiumao's anger was not reduced by half.

Crack!

The crackling sound started, and the kowtow stopped immediately!

"Your Highness, Your Highness, we chased him out immediately, but halfway through the chase, a mysterious woman with fiery red hair suddenly appeared. As soon as the woman appeared, we were as if we were under a spell, unable to move at all.

You just lost me! You must believe me! Your Highness!"

A mysterious woman with fiery red hair...

Zuo Qiujie's expression changed, and the purple light in his hand disappeared simultaneously. After a moment, Zuo Qiu Mao's pupils suddenly shrank, and he stood up with a swish.

"Are you sure you are a woman with fiery red hair and not a child dressed as a beggar?!"

"This... is indeed a woman with flaming red hair. I dare to vouch for it with my life!"

Although he was frightened, he also knew that if he told lies at this moment, he would be killed on the spot!

Zuo Qiumao naturally knew this, so he believed it in his heart, but at the same time, his face also darkened.

Because he knows very well that the person who can make people in the supernatural realm unable to move as if they were hit by a magic spell is definitely a strong person in the Taoist realm.

And the woman... is not the Lan Tianxin I have seen before!

In this imperial city, there is another Taoist realm, and... he is also related to Gu Xiao!

The reason Zuo Qiumao was so sure was simply because through the description just now, he had already guessed that the sixth-level magical power who saved Lin Jinsong was probably Shen Suhua, who had fought against him.

And Shen Suhua is related to Gu Xiao, which means that the red-haired woman who intercepted the two of them must be related to Gu Xiao!

This means that behind Gu Xiao, there are two Taoist realms!

Although it is just speculation, it is definitely very bad news for Zuo Qiumao.

Zuo Qiumao kept thinking in silence. The dull atmosphere made the people in front of him break out in cold sweat and feel uneasy.

Unable to bear the torture, he wanted to say a few words to excuse himself, but before he could open his mouth, Zuo Qiumao's eyes suddenly flashed with light.

"Get ready and go to the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion!"

Zuo Qiujie suddenly asked to go to the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion, which was quite baffling, but at least he saved his life, so he quickly agreed and went down to prepare.

But Zuo Qiu Mao didn't know that Zuo Qiu Jie's people had already arrived at the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion at this time and had already met with Mo Jing.

As for Mo Jing, after hearing that Zuo Qiujie asked him to serve Gu Xiao, he was undecided and quickly went to find Li Yichun.

"You said that the third child asked you to serve Gu Xiao?"

After Li Yichun finished speaking, his brows furrowed, and the scene of Gu Xiao's fight with Zuo Qiumao at Jubaoxuan also appeared in his mind.

At the same time, Lan Tianxin's face also appeared, and Li Yichun thought a lot for a while.

"Master, if you think it's inappropriate, then I'll just refuse."

"No!"

Li Yichun raised his hand, and then his expression changed.

"According to what you said, there are two Taoist realms standing behind Gu Xiao, and their cultivation levels are higher than mine, so you have to go... you have to go!"

The meaning of Li Yichun's words was very clear. He wanted Mo Jing to follow the trend and monitor the two Daotai realms. Mo Jing naturally heard it.

After a slight hesitation, Mo Jing nodded, turned and left.

After Mo Jing left, Li Yichun fell into deep thought again, but he didn't think for a while before a servant came to inform him that Zuo Qiumao was visiting in person.

As soon as Li Yichun heard that it was Zuo Qiumao who was coming in person, Li Yichun felt a sudden change in his heart.

Mo Jing had just asked Mo Jing to monitor Gu Xiao and the two Taoist realms behind him when Zuo Qiumao came to the door...

Li Yichun sensed a hint of an approaching crisis.

But if he didn't meet behind closed doors, maybe the entire imperial city would be in turmoil tomorrow. In desperation, Li Yichun had no choice but to meet Zuo Qiumao.

But after the meeting, Li Yichun was extremely shrewd in avoiding all sensitive topics and kept talking about him.

This made Zuo Qiumao secretly annoyed, but he also discovered something.

Finally, after Zuo Qiumao left a sentence, "The royal family still needs people like the Imperial Master who can serve the country and the people," he said goodbye.

For the country and the people...

Zuo Qiu Mao bit these four words very hard, and Li Yichun was an old man, so how could he not understand the meaning behind them.

But just because it was too clear, I fell into a dilemma.

Today's situation is no longer something that one person can control, not even Li Yichun, who is in the Taoist realm.

After thinking for a long time, Li Yichun rose into the air and headed towards the depths of the palace.

At this time, Mo Jing happened to arrive at Prince Jin's Mansion and met Gu Xiao.

"It's only been a day since I last saw Mo Xunchan's cultivation seems to have improved again!"

When they first met, Gu Xiao gave him a compliment without hesitation, which made Mo Jing completely shocked!
