Thinking of this, Lin Youxian's eyes flashed slightly, and she asked, "Du Dafu, what do you think of the Zhou Kingdom?"
Gu Jian was surprised, then smiled and said, "Just as Your Majesty said, this is a world where the strong prey on the weak. With the arrival of demons, the Zhou Kingdom is already a thing of the past."
Lin Youxian was surprised and looked at Gu Jian, saying, "Are you telling the truth? Haven't you thought about doing something for the former Zhou Kingdom?"
"After all, with your abilities, you might be able to make some waves."
Looking at Lin Youxian's expression, Gu Jian smiled and said, "His Majesty also said it was just waves. But what use are mere waves? I have already accepted reality."
"I have lofty goals and believe that I can also achieve great things in the Demon Kingdom on the other side."
Lin Youxian smiled and said, "That's right, those who know when to yield are the heroes. I like people like that."
She paused slightly, then added, "By the way, Du Dafu, you just said you're from Nanyang, right?"
Gu Jian nodded and smiled, "I am from Nanyang, and my home is in Nanyang Mountain. Before coming to Youming City these days, I had been living in seclusion in the mountains."
Lin Youxian nodded and asked, "Who else is in your family?"
Gu Jian was extremely surprised. He pondered Lin Youxian's intentions, then smiled slightly and said, "Currently, only my grandfather lives at home."
Lin Youxian nodded slightly, her sexy red lips parted slightly, and said, "You are so talented, I intend to give you an important position. Since your grandfather is all alone, why not bring him to Youming City to enjoy a peaceful life?"
Enjoying a peaceful and carefree life?
Gu Jian smiled inwardly.
It seems that Lin Youxian still doesn't trust him.
With just one suggestion, she achieved two goals.
The first confirmation is the authenticity of his movements and the existence of the so-called grandfather.
Second, if the identity is true, the grandfather also exists.
Once the grandfather is brought to the Netherworld City, he can be used to blackmail him.
In this way, it's equivalent to having him under control.
If it were anyone else, they would be in a panic right now.
After all, both his identity and the "grandfather" were fabricated.
However, Gu Jian was no ordinary person.
He had already made preparations.
Gu Jian smiled and said, "It's about a five-day journey from here to Nanyang. Does Your Majesty mean for me to go and fetch my grandfather now?"
Lin Youxian shook her head and said, "That's not necessary. You just need to tell me the location of your hometown, and I can send someone to invite you."
Gu Jian was immediately surprised.
Lin Youxian continued, "In addition, I will also send an envoy to the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons to discuss the alliance."
"If the alliance succeeds, I will reward you with the highest honor. During this time, you should stay in the Netherworld City well."
Gu Jian was surprised again; it was clear that she didn't trust him.
Gu Jian didn't mind and said with a smile, "Then thank you very much, Your Majesty. But if I may ask, what great achievement have you accomplished?"
Lin Youxian chuckled and said, "Grand General of Military and Political Affairs!"
Military and Political Grand General?
Gu Jian was immediately surprised.
The so-called Grand General of Military and Political Affairs, or simply Grand General, is the top military officer.
Lin Youxian actually intends to seal this place?
At this moment, Lin Youxian's voice rang out again, "If the alliance succeeds, it means your plan is effective. It is only right that I appoint you as the Grand General of Military and Political Affairs."
"Since you are the one Shiyu has chosen, I will not treat you unfairly. I will also entrust you with important responsibilities in the future."
Gu Jian smiled slightly and said, "Then thank you very much, Your Majesty. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave now."
Lin Shiyu was happy for Gu Jian.
Although at first the older sister didn't seem to like Zimei, it turned out to be a good thing.
She knew that the Du Dafu in her heart could gain her sister's approval.
"Sister, I'll go down too."
Lin Shiyu spoke up, wanting to leave with Gu Jian.
Lin Youxian stopped her, saying, "Shiyu, there's no rush. You haven't been to the palace for many days. Why don't you have a get-together with me?"
"There are some things I need to ask you about."
Lin Shiyu was surprised, wondering what Lin Youxian wanted to ask, but she still agreed.
"Yes, sister."
A moment later, after bidding farewell to Lin Shiyu, Gu Jian left the palace hall alone.
Along the way, he pondered the content of his conversation with Lin Youxian.
This is a conversation, but it is also a confrontation.
Gu Jian defused the situation at every step.
Lin Youxian still did not trust him.
However, Gu Jian was prepared.
After all, Lin Youxian was just as intelligent as Hu Linglong.
If she easily trusts him, it will only make him suspicious.
"Then let's wait until the moment of alliance is formed. Before that, we must not reveal any flaws."
Gu Jian muttered to himself.
His purpose in coming to the Demon Kingdom of the Other Shore was twofold: to kill Ye Chen and to subdue Empress Lin Youxian.
Given Lin Youxian's caution, Gu Jian also decided to take things slowly.
Gu Jian had a feeling that there might be a good show to watch next, related to the legendary thousand-year sacrifice of the demon kingdom on the other side.
Half a day later, Gu Jian returned to the Lily Flower Prince's Mansion.
Gu Jian was about to go find Ji Baihe to discuss the day's events.
But they first encountered the steward of the Lily Prince's Mansion.
The latter said that someone very important to Gu Jian was waiting for him in Gu Jian's room. Gu Jian was very surprised.
I thought it was just a little fairy Ai Youwei making a fuss.
They're causing him trouble again.
However, upon entering the room, they were met by Su Mengyao.
Su Mengyao had just changed into a sexy dress in Gu Jian's room.
Her fair shoulders were exposed, and upon seeing Gu Jian, her dreamlike face lit up with excitement as she greeted him, "Master, you've come. Mengyao has finally met you."
