Xiao Wei responded with a "yes", jumped off the rockery, and quickly disappeared.
Gu Xingnuo took Yu Xiaoxiao aside and whispered, "The imperial guards in the palace are still in the inner palace guards, and there are Zhao Qiuming's men."
"Oh," Yu Xiaoxiao responded, not understanding what this had to do with her.
Gu Xingnuo said: "It is very likely that there are also spies from the Zhao family among the secret guards around the emperor."
"Oh," Yu Xiaoxiao still responded with an "oh", still not understanding what this had to do with her.
"Now might be an opportunity to catch these spies," Gu Xingnuo said to Yu Xiao in a negotiating tone.
"Uh," Yu Xiao: "Brother, do you want to do this?"
Gu Xingnuo nodded. Zhao Qiu Ming would either be dead or injured. If he didn't take advantage of this opportunity, he could kill as many members of Zhao's party as possible. How could Young Master Gu let go of this opportunity to give the fallen man a beating?
"Okay then," Yu Xiaoxiao readily agreed to Gu Xingnuo. After all, they were family, so she had no reason not to help.
Gu Xingnuo smiled, and two shallow dimples appeared at the corners of her mouth.
Yu Xiaoxiao wanted to imitate Brother Gu's smile, but the flesh on her face seemed to be dead. She twisted her body for a long time but couldn't smile as charmingly as Young Master Gu.
Gu Xingnuo's facial features twisted when he looked at his younger brother and sister-in-law. If emotions could be materialized, Young Master Gu would be completely frowning. This kind of expression was unprecedented!
After discovering that she did not have this talent, Yu Xiaoxiao's face became paralyzed again.
The princess had no expression on her face, and Young Master Gu found himself actually feeling relieved. This feeling was also... Young Master Gu took another look at his younger brother and sister-in-law. It was so awful!
"Brother," Yu Xiaoxiao asked seriously, "Who do you want to kill?"
Gu Xingnuo said: "Let these people surface first, then it won't be too late for us to kill them."
The boss shrank his neck and thought that it would be better for him to avoid provoking Young Master Gu in the future.
"Well," Yu Xiaoxiao pointed to the south of the rockery and said, "Brother, look, are those people you mentioned them?"
Gu Xingnuo and the boss looked in the direction where Yu Xiaoxiao pointed her finger, and saw a dozen people in the uniforms of the Imperial Guards walking towards them.
The big boss said, "Are you here to search?"
Gu Xingnuo looked carefully at the way these ten people walked, and for the time being he could not confirm whether these ten people were the imperial guards.
Yu Xiao: "Brother, what do you think?"
Gu Xingnuo shook his head.
Yu Xiaoxiao became impatient and started looking around for something suitable to hit the man again. She couldn't let her whereabouts be exposed.
After Gu Xingnuo finished observing the person and retracted his gaze from a distance, he found that the boss's mouth was almost dislocated. "What's wrong with you?" Gu Xingnuo asked the boss while turning his head to look at Yu Xiaoxiao, and then Young Master Gu also opened his mouth wide.
Yu Xiaoxiao was holding up a big rock, which was three times as big as her, and weighed at least eight hundred pounds, if not a thousand. At this moment, Her Royal Highness the Princess was estimating the distance and how much strength she would need to use.
"Don't!" Gu Xingnuo shouted, "I want to live."
Yu Xiaoxiao was holding up a big stone and looking at her elder brother. He only shouted this at her after he had raised the stone?
"Princess, let's not do anything yet," Young Master Gu said to his younger brother and sister-in-law very gently, "Put the stone down first."
Seeing that Brother Gu changed his mind again, Yu Xiaoxiao threw the stone away.
The big rock fell on the gravel road under the rockery, with another loud bang. The broken rocks flew everywhere, and within a few meters, a rain of gravel fell from the sky.
"ah--"
A cry of pain came from under the rockery as the boulder fell to the ground and cracked.
"Is there anyone?" Yu Xiao asked, and jumped under the rockery.
When Gu Xingnuo and the boss came to their senses, Her Royal Highness the Princess had disappeared.
"Hmm," Li Wan moaned at this time.
When the boss heard Li Wan's moan, he immediately ignored everything else and only Miss Li was left in his eyes.
Gu Xingnuo also jumped off the rockery and saw Yu Xiaoxiao squatting in front of the entrance of a rockery cave. "Is anyone hurt?" Gu Xingnuo walked forward a few steps and asked in a low voice.
Yu Xiaoxiao turned her body to one side, revealing the person lying in the fake cave, and said to Gu Xingnuo: "Brother, this person is awesome. He was squatting here, and I didn't even notice him."
Young Master Gu’s face was twitching so much that his mouth was crooked. When he found out that he was being followed, was this how his sister-in-law felt?
"The head is broken," Yu Xiaoxiao pointed at the head of this awesome master and said to Gu Xingnuo.
Gu Xingnuo walked closer. The man in the cave was dressed in tight clothes. He was neither a member of the imperial guard nor a palace guard. He had a wound right next to his forehead, with blood all over his face. He was unconscious.
"Who is this guy?" Yu Xiaoxiao asked.
Gu Xingnuo shook his head and couldn’t tell.
At this time, Xiao Wei ran over with two sets of eunuch's clothes. He was dazed looking at the big rock that appeared out of nowhere. He knew that the noise just now could only have been made by his princess!
"Xiao Wei," Gu Xingnuo turned around and waved at Xiao Wei, saying, "Come and see who this person is."
Xiao Wei said: "Princess, did you kill one of them?"
Yu Xiao: "I'm not a murderer, I didn't know he was here."
Xiao Wei ran up and took a look at the man's clothes. Before he could see the man's face clearly, Xiao Wei's expression changed.
Yu Xiao: "No way? He is your brother?"
"Is it the secret guard beside the emperor?" Gu Xingnuo guessed the answer when he saw the little guard's look.
Xiao Wei walked up, wiped the blood off the man's face, and said, "He is one of the double zeros."
"What?" Yu Xiaoxiao didn't understand.
"The leader of the secret guards," Gu Xingnuo sighed. The secret guards around Xianzong were divided into two groups, and their leaders were both called Ling. Young Master Gu asked the young guard, "Is it the one who led you?"
Xiao Wei shook his head.
"Princess, this person is following us," Gu Xingnuo said to Yu Xiao.
Xiao Wei said fearfully: "It was the emperor who ordered him to..."
"If the emperor ordered him to do so, he would not hide here and listen to us talking," Gu Xingnuo interrupted Xiao Wei and said, Xianzong would look for Yu Xiaoxiao, but he would not let anyone eavesdrop.
"A bad guy," Yu Xiaoxiao finally understood.
"Don't let him die," Gu Xingnuo said excitedly, "Interrogate him carefully. He must have another master."
Xiao Wei shuddered unconsciously. If the Royal Secret Guards betrayed their master, their end would be a fate worse than death.
Yu Xiaoxiao looked at the man's wound, took out her handkerchief and was about to bandage the wound of the secret guard leader.
Xiao Wei hurriedly pulled off a piece of Ling's shirt hem and said, "Princess, use this."
Yu Xiaoxiao still felt sorry for her clothes and said, "It must be expensive to buy new clothes, right?"
"It's free," Xiao Wei said, "It's given by the palace."
"My father's money is also money," Yu Xiaoxiao muttered to Xiao Wei.
Gu Xingnuo turned around and looked outside the fake cave. Staying with his younger brother and sister for a long time would make people irritable, anxious, and want to die. In short, all kinds of abnormal things would happen.
