Unbeknownst to Xie Changshi, the moment his figure disappeared behind the moon gate, Gu Yuzhi quickly grabbed Qi Shiwei's hand and headed towards the council hall.

"Guard Qi, Guard Qi, let's hurry, let's go!"

He was secretly plotting his schemes against those villains in the Northern Desert Army, but he couldn't let Chief Secretary Xie know!

But he couldn't think of a good solution, so he could only drag Guard Qi along!

With Teacher Shu and Manager Wen added, there are four people in total.

Gu Yuzhi chuckled to himself, thinking, "They say three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang."

Now that they have four people, aren't they invincible?

Gu Yuzhi's smile deepened as he imagined those big bad guys rolling on the ground in fear.

When Guard Qi saw the hand being held by the young prince, he couldn't help but laugh!

Hehe, he knew it. He was unique in the young prince's heart. Otherwise, why would the young prince hold his hand and not Xie Changshi's or the others' hands?

It's all because His Highness likes me!

Qi, the guard, followed Gu Yuzhi into the council hall with a beaming smile. Before the smile could fade, the young prince patted a chair, gesturing for him to sit down.

The guard, filled with curiosity, asked, "Your Highness, what's wrong?"

Gu Yuzhi put his index finger to the middle of his mouth and made a very soft shushing sound, signaling him not to speak loudly.

After the guard Qi shut his mouth, Gu Yuzhi jogged to the entrance of the council hall, peeked out cautiously, and only ran back when he saw no one was coming.

He jumped onto a chair, sat down next to Guard Qi, propped his chin on one hand, and blinked as he said, "Guard Qi, Guard Qi, I want to discuss something with you!"

Gu Yuzhi often looked at Xie Changshi and the others with longing eyes, but at this moment, Guard Qi felt that the way the young prince looked at him was different from before.

It's as if, in the little prince's heart, he is now the most powerful person!

He straightened his back and his voice became much deeper: "What is it, Your Highness? Just say the word. I will do my best to help if it is possible!"

Upon hearing this, Shu Xiaohan slapped her forehead and looked at Guard Qi with a hint of sympathy.

This silly boy, if he continues like this and doesn't guard up against the young prince at all, he'll definitely be fooled when the young prince grows up!

Without asking any questions, you're just making empty promises. Once you find out what the young prince is really up to, I guarantee you'll be so scared that you'll avoid Chief Secretary Xie from now on!

Shu Xiaohan hummed twice, then realized that not only Xie Changshi, but everyone in the Wen family was a strong supporter of the young prince.

You dare to conspire with the young prince to do bad things? You're dead!

Manager Wen looked at Guard Qi with a sympathetic expression.

Even if they offered suggestions to the young prince, Chief Secretary Xie wouldn't be able to find out about them.

But you're different...

The sympathetic guard Qi was completely unaware of what was happening. He watched as the young prince's eyes lit up the moment he agreed, and he sat up even straighter!

I'm definitely the best!

Otherwise, if His Highness needs help, why doesn't he ask Chief Secretary Xie or Imperial Physician Qin for help?

Seeing Qi's beaming face, Gu Yuzhi couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle to himself: "Qi, Qi, I want to teach those scoundrels in the Northern Desert Army who sided with Prince Chu a lesson!"

Qi, the guard, smiled slightly, his expression becoming a little stiff.

But he quickly regained his smile: "Guard Zhang took Bai Jiwu to the capital to be punished, and the Northern Army is now leaderless. I estimate that His Majesty will send a new Northern Army general and the imperial edict to the Northern Frontier."

Mr. Huo and the others did not die, but as long as their case is not overturned, they will never be able to live under their real identities.

However, the Northern Desert Army urgently needs someone who is the Emperor's man and has the ability to suppress those who previously sided with the Prince of Chu and the Huo family army!

The selection of this person has been discussed by Guard Qi and Chief Secretary Xie, and it is very likely that it will be someone from the current Shenwei Camp.

The Shenwei Battalion was the army that guarded the capital. Their ancestors had fought alongside Emperor Gaozu to conquer the country, so they wielded considerable power.

However, due to the special nature of the Divine Might Camp, the selection process for the Divine Might Camp is extremely rigorous and brutal.

If he hadn't been appointed as the emperor's personal bodyguard at a young age, he would have definitely taken the exam.

Thinking of this, Guard Qi cleared his throat and said loudly, "Of course! I am now His Highness's chief guard, and I am extremely happy!"

Between the Divine Might Camp and His Highness, His Highness is of course more important!

Gu Yuzhi didn't understand why Guard Qi suddenly brought this up. He scratched his head, said "Oh," and urged, "Guard Qi, Guard Qi, tell me quickly, who from the Divine Might Camp will the Emperor send to take over the Northern Desert Army?"

He was really curious!

Gu Yuzhi pouted and looked at Guard Qi. Why did Guard Qi only say half of what he was saying?

Seeing his reaction, Guard Qi quickly continued, "We suspect it is Lu Muchen, the deputy commander of the Divine Might Battalion!"

"This person previously served in the Huo family army for five years and had a very close relationship with Huo Liangyao."

"The position of commander of the Divine Might Battalion should have been his, but when Marshal Huo and others had their accident, Lu Muchen spoke up for them and was..."

He was almost court-martialed by the late emperor!

However, he couldn't say this in front of the young prince, otherwise, if someone with ulterior motives found out, he would be committing a great act of treason!

Gu Yuzhi's mouth gaped open, his face filled with disbelief.

Lu Muchen!

Gu Yuzhi had certainly heard of his great reputation!

He's said to be the top martial arts expert in the imperial palace!

Gu Yuzhi glanced at him, then at Guard Qi, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Guard Qi, I'd like to know, how is this ranking of the palace's top experts determined?"

Qi, the guard, stiffened slightly...

Gu Yuzhi continued, "Are you going to fight? Admiral Lu is the number one fighter, didn't he beat you?"

Qi, the guard, immediately felt a strong sense of alarm!

He previously thought it was a good thing that Lu Muchen came over, after all, that guy was cunning and wicked, with a lot of tricks up his sleeve!

In addition, he was highly skilled in martial arts and had rich combat experience. With him guarding the entire prefecture, the Northern Di people dared not easily invade.

This will give the young prince a few more years to grow up!

But now he realized that with that guy here, he was no longer the most skilled martial artist in the Northern Desert!

From now on, the little prince's adoration will turn to him!

Two years later, when the young prince goes to the army for training and spends every day with Lu Muchen, how will he remember himself!

Guard Qi stood up abruptly, shaking his head vigorously: "But that's not necessarily true. Lu Muchen's primary duty is to protect the Emperor; he might not be sent here."

Gu Yuzhi thought about it and realized that made sense. He scratched his head and said "Oh," then continued the previous topic, grabbing Guard Qi's wrist and shaking it: "Guard Qi, let's discuss how to lure those bad guys out of the camp!"

The guard was terrified and wished he could pull his wrist back immediately: "Your Highness, the reason I mentioned Lu Muchen is that Your Highness doesn't need to lie. When Lu Muchen arrives, he will deal with those people!"
