"master."

In the dark room, a man in black knelt on one knee, facing the man above the throne with his hands clasped in fists.

The kneeling man in black always lowered his head, not daring to raise his eyes to look at him even through a gauze curtain.

"Have you found it?"

Gu Chenhuan took a sip of tea seemingly leisurely, but his heart was already in a mess because of the previous incident. He took a sip and asked in a cold voice, "What sect is that person from? Is he from Mo country?"

This is the most secretive place in Prince Jin's palace, and it is also the darkroom where Gu Chenhuan handles private matters.

Over the years, the lives and futures of many people in the capital were ruined here by Gu Chenhuan.

"My subordinate deserves to die. He still hasn't found out his identity and background."

The man in black, who knew Gu Chenhuan's temperament, lowered his head. He was afraid that the other party would take his head off in the next second, so he quickly reported, "But my subordinates found out that the man had frequent contacts with a group of guests who attended the auction."

.”

"They are two C-class individual travelers, a young man and a child."

Hearing this, Gu Chenhuan did not ask any questions, but leisurely glanced at the armrests of the pear wood chair with his index finger, gesturing for the other party to continue.

"The three of them dined together at the Peace Restaurant. During this period, they also had a dispute with Prime Minister Su's family. The man relied on his martial arts skills to force Su Xiaoqianjin to do fortune telling for him. All the guards brought by Prime Minister Su were also killed by him.

Stun."

"After Prime Minister Su and his family left, only the man was seen leaving in a carriage, while the young guests and children of the C class disappeared into the inn out of thin air."

"My subordinates sent people to chase him along the way, but who knew that ten miles out of the city, the man and the carriage disappeared on the official road."

It was night when Fan Ye left, but the man in black was certain that it was not because of his lack of martial arts that he lost his target. Indeed, he suddenly disappeared into the night not far from his eyes.

This report made Gu Chenhuan nod in his heart.

It was very different from the National Master's analysis. This man was indeed a monk, and he was quite powerful.

If not, how could you come up with a life-changing elixir like the Life Pill?!

No wonder...

Thinking of the previous humiliation, Gu Chenhuan's eyes gradually overflowed with a sinister look.

Relying on his ability as a monk to act so unscrupulously in front of his future king, he deserves to be damned!

"master……"

Realizing that Gu Chenhuan was distracted, the man in black raised his head cautiously and looked at the hazy figure, "My subordinates marked the carriage. After the carriage disappeared, they immediately sent people to look for it. I just got a reply."

Hearing this, Gu Chenhuan's eyes lit up.

"Where now?!"

"Fengcheng."

The man in black hesitated for the first time tonight, but it was only for a moment, "Xiao family."

Fengcheng?

Xiao family?!

The combination of the place name with the word "Xiao Family" made Gu Chenhuan have a look of astonishment on his face. According to that person, he did have a lot of history with Xiao Hongyan, and he always wanted to defend the other party on behalf of the Xiao Family.

But Gu Chenhuan never thought that that powerful monk would move directly into the Xiao family.

This kind of close relationship is unusual.

A series of events made Gu Chenhuan's eyes show fear that he himself was not aware of, but he still had a stern expression on his face.

Thinking about the time when the Xiao family was at its peak, Xiao Gang, as the God of War who had repeatedly won battles in the Mo Kingdom, was even more favored by his father.

At that time, Gu Chenhuan was already secretly planning to become the crown prince. He once secretly tried to win over the Xiao family, but he was rejected by the old man Xiao Gang.

Because he was afraid that Xiao Gang would inform his father soon and expose his ambitions.

Only then did Gu Chenhuan collude with the Imperial Counselor to preemptively slander the Xiao family and create all kinds of false evidence to smear the Xiao family. Not only did they say that Xiao Gang was corrupt and enriched his own pockets with military pay, but he also spread rumors that his whole family was a catastrophe in troubled times that brought disaster to the country and the people.

Faced with mountains of evidence, my father was furious.

But when Gu Chenhuan was waiting to see the tragic scene of the Xiao family being wiped out, his father only sent Xiao Gang's family to Fengcheng to guard the frontier. What made him even more unpredictable was that his father did not even have important military power from Xiao Gang.

Take it back in Gang's hand.

Lifting it high and putting it down gently, his father's way of protecting Xiao Gang and the Xiao family from the bottom of his heart made Gu Chenhuan always fear the other party from the bottom of his heart.

He couldn't figure out his father's thoughts, and Fengcheng was far away on the border and it was inconvenient for him to conduct high-profile inspections, so he had to secretly send people to keep an eye on the Xiao family's movements.

In the years since he was sent away, Xiao Gang has been fulfilling his duty of guarding the border and guarding the country, without any sign of wanting to return to the capital to look for his enemies. Only then did Gu Chenhuan gradually let go of his thoughts of destroying the other party.

Today, everything that used to be as smooth as a mirror was once again shaken up by that monk.

His appearance not only broke the tone of Gu Chenhuan's auction house, but also completely shattered his inner plans for the Xiao family, himself and the future of Mo Country.

Fan Ye's three conditions echoed in his mind again, and Gu Chenhuan looked embarrassed and said nothing.

It seemed that the Xiao family, which supported the capable monk, was planning to return to the capital, otherwise they would not have sent people to disrupt his auction and put such harsh conditions on him.

"Master, do you want your subordinates to send someone to keep an eye on the Xiao family?"

Seeing that Gu Chenhuan had not spoken for a long time, the man in black couldn't help but ask carefully.

Gu Chenhuan waved his hand and sent the other party away.

"Mingshui."

Following this call, a black human-shaped object slowly floated out from the corner of the darkroom.

Its whole body was wrapped in black air, making it impossible to see its appearance clearly and to determine whether it was a human or a ghost.

The figure in the black fog flashed to a stop in front of Gu Chenhuan. Gu Chenhuan pulled out a dagger from his boot and neatly cut open the palm of his hand.

The bright red blood dripped into the clean black gold cup. Only when there was a small amount, he pulled out a handkerchief and wrapped the wound.

"Go to Fengcheng in person and assassinate Xiao Gang."

Facing Heiwu, Gu Chenhuan said with a fierce expression, "Do it more cleanly! Stop when you're dead!"

This sentence was almost said through gritted back teeth, faintly revealing the fear in his heart.

The blood in the black gold lamp disappeared completely when he gave the order, and not a drop was left, and the black figure also disappeared into the room.

Those people in the Xiao family were very sick and dying, and there was also a disabled person. From Gu Chenhuan's point of view, if the Xiao family wanted to rebel, they could only rely on that old man.

If he dies, the monks in captivity will leave automatically.

By then, not only would the military power be in his own hands, but he would also be able to ascend to the throne in the future.

Thinking of this, the previous fear was instantly swept away, and a smile finally appeared on Gu Chenhuan's face.

Nangong Bo originally wanted to take his son and leave first, but General Xiao was so hospitable that he insisted on letting the three of them have dinner together.

Seeing that besides General Xiao and the seniors, there was only a half-year-old boy on the table, Nangong Bo couldn't help but feel a little sad.

It seems that the Xiao family has indeed been hit by bad luck as the rumors said, and the family is not as prosperous as the Nangong family.

In fact, what he didn't know was that Xiao Hanyue had already woken up and was having a meal alone with her son, while Xiao Yichen was still in the military camp due to official business.

"Three."

Seeing Nangong Bo getting up and preparing to leave again, Su Qingtian suddenly said with a smile, "After dinner, why don't you watch a good show to relax before leaving?"

Just when everyone looked surprised, a powerful murderous aura rushed straight into the Tianling Cap.

Everyone came outside the house and saw a black shadow floating on the spire of the Xiao family's tallest library.
