"In the plan?"
Gu Qingze was thoughtful when he heard Shangguan Nana's words.
Shangguan nodded and said, "As an auspicious beast, the Thousand Glory Beast cannot harm living beings, so the royal family has no fear. But what if the Thousand Glory Beast suddenly loses control?"
"Suddenly losing control? That's impossible. As a lucky beast, Qianyaomon wouldn't harm others even if it died... Unless you faked its loss of control!"
Chu Lingxiao, who was standing aside, was halfway through his words when he suddenly thought of a possibility and looked at Shangguan Nana with a questioning look.
"That's right! We just need to make everyone think that Chiyomon suddenly lost control, hurt someone, and then escaped."
A hint of cunning flashed in Shangguan Nana's eyes.
"Then how did you forge it?" Gu Qingze asked.
"It's not difficult to help Qianyaomon leave. Qianyaomon has been imprisoned here for a hundred years and has never escaped. Therefore, the royal family has long been slacking off, so this step is easy."
Shangguan Nana explained seriously, "The difficulty lies in convincing the royal family that Chilled Beast, which never hurt anyone, has started to hurt people and is out of control. So we need to be more deterrent in this regard."
"First, I customized a batch of tools that could forge Thousand Brilliance Beast's claw marks, modeled after Thousand Brilliance Beast's claws. Then, I found some ministers who were corrupt, violated the law, and held high positions in the royal family. I knocked them unconscious, making them see Thousand Brilliance Beast's appearance before they passed out. After they fainted, I took advantage of the opportunity to severely injure them with the customized tools..."
"Thus, those ministers, by comparing their own wounds and considering that Qianyaomon has escaped, can prove that Qianyaomon lost control and injured someone and escaped... They will definitely put pressure on my father..."
"Your plan has too many loopholes."
Gu Qingze shook his head. Although Shangguan Nana's plan sounded good, in fact, as long as one of the injured ministers thought about it a little, they would be able to find the flaws.
The fact that Qianyao Beast injured people when escaping can be explained by the fact that it had been imprisoned for many years and wanted to find someone to vent its anger on.
What about the drug? If the injured ministers were to discuss the whole matter together, they would find that they all fell unconscious after seeing the Thousand Brilliance Beast, and woke up covered in wounds... Wouldn't that be strange?
"The reason you think there are so many flaws is because you don't understand human nature, and even less so the royal family."
Shangguan Nana showed a complex expression containing many emotions.
"Royal positions are hereditary. When the current Prime Minister passes away, his son will take over. This has been going on for several generations. They enjoy such a comfortable life and must treasure their lives even more."
"Regardless of any suspicious details, since their lives are threatened and the evidence points to Thousand Glory Beast, we should eliminate Thousand Glory Beast first and then look for other clues. Furthermore, they are all useless and will only pressure father to solve the problem, so this matter will definitely fall into father's hands in the end."
"And at this time, my father will definitely want to kill the escaped Qianyao Beast, but he can't kill it on his own. So, my father will definitely think of killing with a borrowed knife and seek help from the sect closest to Qianyao Nation - Qingyun Sect."
"Why did your father kill the Thousand Glory Beast? If he wanted to continue those inhumane experiments, he should have asked the Qingyun Sect for help and made up a story so that they could help him capture the Thousand Glory Beast."
Chu Lingxiao looked at her with some confusion.
"It's meaningless to capture an out-of-control Thousand Glory Beast. If it can injure people the first time and escape, it can do so the second time. They are just ordinary people. They just relied on the fact that Thousand Glory Beast would not hurt people to resist before."
Shangguan Nana looked at the bamboo leaves used to decorate the teahouse's private room in the distance and smiled contemptuously.
"As for why they killed it instead of letting it escape, there are many reasons."
"The most obvious one is the royal family. The injured minister needs an explanation from my father."
"Going deeper, if Chilledmon escaped with so many wounds, how would people explain it if they saw Chilledmon, whom they respected and had left years ago, suddenly appear with wounds all over his body? Remember, Chilledmon can communicate with humans in a special way, so destroying the body is the best solution."
"More profoundly, I believe that if I can't benefit myself, I can't benefit others either. I don't want Chiyomon to benefit others..."
Shangguan Nana's tone was as if she was just chatting, speaking casually, but Gu Qingze could feel the anger hidden in her.
He unconsciously glanced at Chu Lingxiao. Lingxiao should have felt more than him, so he could empathize with this matter so much.
"Anyway, now the facts have proved that my deduction was correct. Apart from the two variables of you two, everything is under my control."
Shangguan Nana didn't want to talk about Qianyaomon anymore, so she just made a summary.
"So, what's your purpose in planning this with Chiyomon?"
Gu Qingze thought for a moment and raised his own question.
"I want you to come. Only when the disciples of Qingyun Sect who are assisting in this matter come here, can I carry out my plan to usurp the throne."
Shangguan Nana looked at them and smiled.
"It seems like we're very important to your plan. I don't know if I should be honored or not."
Gu Qingze also smiled politely.
"My status isn't high enough to ask for help from the Qingyun Sect, so I teamed up with the Qianyao Beast and devised this plan to get my father to ask for help. Although the content of the request is confusing right and wrong, as long as I stop you in time when you come and tell you the story I made up, it will successfully make you suspicious..."
In order to show her sincerity in cooperation, Shangguan Nana told Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao her original plan.
"I have to say that although this plan is simple, it is a good idea."
After listening to it, Gu Qingze commented.
Although Chiyomon cannot harm people itself, it can use the greed of others to kill them.
First, it made them suspicious of the strangeness of the whole thing. Even if they did not believe Shangguan Nana's previous statement, at least after encountering the Thousand Shining Beast, their first reaction was not to attack, but to hesitate, giving it enough room for negotiation.
After explaining that it is a lucky animal and promising to help it, giving them opportunities, and adding that this favor is not difficult, I believe that anyone who practices Taoism will not refuse.
Although there are many ordinary soldiers, the cultivators who can accept the mission are at least at the Jindan stage or above, and the soldiers are simply unable to resist... By then, they will be able to overthrow the royal family, establish themselves as king, and then reform the country.
"However, although the plan is fine, you're relying too much on cultivators here. What if the auspicious beasts aren't that attractive, or if they're kidnapped like you did in Qianyao Country?"
