When Shen Yizhi tried to communicate with Li Si before, he looked autistic and immersed in his own world. But when it was Xie Wanxiang's turn, he opened up.
Shen Yizhi and Gu Xueting looked at each other and found that they had no problem communicating with each other as people of the same kind.
Xie Wanxiang and Li Si communicated for a while. Although their mouths were moving all the time, Shen Yizhi and Gu Xueting could not hear anything, as if the two ghosts were not in the same space as them.
Finally, Li Si bowed to her and his soul disappeared.
Of course it did not disappear, but was reincarnated.
Xie Wanxiang came to Shen Yizhi, "He said he didn't remember how he fell into the water. He woke up after getting drunk that day and found himself dead. The person who found him and asked him to go to Zhenshanju to place an order was a person who was wrapped up tightly and had a mask on his face. It was hard to tell whether he was a man or a woman, but he remembered that person had a black mole on his left ear."
There is a mole on the left ear? If I use this to find someone, when will I find him?
However, after hearing this, Gu Xueting's eyes moved. There was a black mole on his left ear. He thought, he knew who really wanted to kill him.
Return to the house in Bronze Lane.
Gu Xueting remained silent throughout the entire period and was obviously in a very low mood.
Shen Yizhi walked over, lay on his back, and put his arms around his neck from behind, "Do you know the man with the mole on his left ear?"
"Yes, he is a guard in the Territory Lord's Mansion. To be more precise, he is Xiao Zhengyuan's trusted subordinate."
Xiao Zhengyuan? Isn't this the Lord of the Northern Territory? He is also Xiao Xiong's father!
Shen Yizi was horrified when he thought about it.
The guards naturally followed their master's orders, so the one who really wanted to kill him was Xiao Zhengyuan?
Why did Xiao Zhengyuan want to kill Gu Xueting? As if he had heard the question in her heart, Gu Xueting hugged her waist and buried his head in her belly, "I have no personal grudge against Xiao Zhengyuan. On the contrary, because of Brother Xiao, he has always treated me as his nephew in the next life. The only one who can command him is the one sitting on the dragon throne."
Shen Yizhi was horrified: "The emperor wants to kill you?"
But this doesn't make sense. Although she didn't stay in the imperial capital for a long time, she observed that the emperor was quite nice to Gu Xueting. Gu Xueting had no intention of seizing his throne. On the contrary, he had made many contributions to him, making his position more stable. What reason did he have to kill him? Yes, what reason did the emperor have to kill him? Gu Xueting raised his head from her belly, "I'll go out and find Xiao Zhengyuan to confirm."
Shen Yizi hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not say that he wanted to go with him.
He knew her worries, so he stood up and kissed her on the forehead, saying soothingly, "Don't worry, I'll be back soon."
"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back and have supper with me." Shen Yizhi watched him disappear on the spot.
Gu Xueting came to the Domain Lord's Mansion.
As the lord of a region, Xiao Zhengyuan has a lot of work to do on a daily basis and has countless things to deal with, but the light in the study is still on.
Gu Xueting had been to the Domain Lord's Mansion several times and was very familiar with the layout here, so he appeared directly outside the study.
The study was the most important place in the entire mansion, so the security was naturally strict. There were countless guards, both visible and invisible, around it. However, no one noticed Gu Xueting's arrival.
Because he has set up a space domain around him, even if he appears under everyone's noses, he is actually not in the same space with them, so he will naturally not be discovered by them.
He just walked straight into the study.
No one noticed.
Xiao Zhengyuan was sitting behind a large black desk handling official business. There were deep wrinkles between his brows and deep nasolabial folds on his face. He looked very dignified and difficult to approach.
Gu Xueting stood in front of the desk and looked at the man whom he had previously called "Uncle Xiao".
After all, Xiao Zhengyuan was an expert who was close to perfecting Qi Refining. He naturally noticed his direct gaze and raised his head from the documents, but there was nothing in front of him.
Is it his illusion?
Xiao Zhengyuan rubbed his forehead, thinking that he might have been too worried and stressed out recently, which led to him becoming a little suspicious.
But the next moment, his whole body was covered with goosebumps.
Gu Xueting appeared out of nowhere and stood less than ten feet away from him.
"You——" Xiao Zhengyuan was inexplicably horrified. He managed to calm himself down and forced a smile: "Xue Ting, why are you here? You didn't even say hello to your uncle."
Gu Xueting just wanted to know the truth at this moment. Without saying a word, he attacked Xiao Zhengyuan directly.
Xiao Zhengyuan flew back from behind the desk and shouted loudly, "Someone come!"
However, this statement fell on deaf ears and received no response.
Xiao Zhengyuan's heart was pounding and he tried to jump out of the study through the window. However, he jumped out but was still in the study when he landed, and even appeared in front of Gu Xueting.
He raised his hand and a spatial blade slashed over.
Xiao Zhengyuan barely dodged it, but a piece of his shoulder was still cut off, and his face twitched in pain.
"Xue Ting, do you have any misunderstandings about Uncle Xiao?"
Before coming to the study, Gu Xueting had already found Luo Song, the guard with a mole on his left ear, and used the truth pill to get the questions out of him.
After hearing what Xiao Zhengyuan said, he almost wanted to sneer, and his men continued to attack.
Although Xiao Zhengyuan's cultivation is close to perfection in Qi Refining, there is a huge difference between perfection in Qi Refining and perfection in Qi Refining. What's more, Gu Xueting is a space-type with strong attack power, and he has been taught by Luo Yaoyao, a big man from the upper realm. His strength is far beyond what Xiao Zhengyuan can compare to.
He was beaten so hard that he had no chance to fight back.
Gu Xueting shot a talisman to freeze him in place, "But the emperor ordered you to kill me?"
It was a very cold day, but a bead of sweat the size of a bean slid down Xiao Zhengyuan's forehead.
Gu Xueting said in a very cold tone: "Uncle Xiao, you have to think it over before answering."
"...Yes." Xiao Zhengyuan finally uttered a word.
After getting the answer, Gu Xueting ignored him and turned away.
Xiao Zhengyuan let out a long sigh. At that moment just now, he really felt that his life was hanging by a thread.
Looking at the direction where Gu Xueting disappeared, he fell into deep thought.
Although Prince Gu Xueting has always been low-key, he has considerable strength and means, and no one knows how much power he has accumulated in private. Once he confronts the emperor... Tianyuan is likely to change.
However, this may also be an opportunity for the Xiao family.
Gu Xueting used the Mountain and River Mirror and instantly appeared in the emperor's bedroom.
The emperor was sleeping soundly when he suddenly felt cold all over. He woke up from the cold and found that his quilt had fallen to the ground.
He always slept in a proper manner, so how could he kick the quilt under the bed? When he was trying to get the quilt, the emperor suddenly saw a pair of black boots with snowflakes on them.
He looked up slowly, and when Gu Xueting's face came into his sight, his heart instantly jumped into his throat.
Is this a dream? It must be a dream.
Just like that woman Rong Xian'er, she used the dream-entering technique to appear in his dream.
The emperor pinched himself secretly, hiss, it hurts!
