Chapter 301 Planning with Gu Qingzhi
"The situation is very bad. Is there any news about the Third Prince?" Gu Qingzhi's face darkened and he looked at his deputy general.
"I have asked several brothers to wait at the intersection that is the only way back to the city. If the Third Prince shows up, they will definitely bring him here."
Deputy General Shen saw that Gu Qingzhi had a bad face, and his heart sank as well. It seemed that Dongyou was in great trouble.
"General, the third prince is here." Just then, his men came hurriedly to report.
"Let's go." When General Gu heard that the Third Prince he had just been talking about had arrived, he looked much more excited and went out with his deputy general.
"General Gu, I didn't expect that besides being good at commanding troops and fighting battles, you are also very thoughtful." Shangguan Nanxing exclaimed as soon as he saw Gu Qingzhi.
He had been worried along the way that General Gu might just charge into Dongyou City and alert Shangguan Nanfeng, but he didn't expect that he was stationed in the dense forests and deep mountains.
"Third Prince, you are too kind. After all, there are many people in our Gu family who study literature." Seeing the Third Prince praising him right away, Gu Qingzhi blushed and replied politely.
After all, the Gu family has been smart people for generations, and he is the only general. However, he is still a member of the Gu family, so naturally he is smart.
"I heard that you just went to Dongyou for an investigation. How was it?" The third prince nodded, ended the topic, and asked with a restrained expression.
"The situation is very bad, this is what the Third Prince is like..." So Gu Qingzhi told Shangguan Nanxing everything he knew.
"What? Eunuch Zhu died? Or was he burned to death in a fire?"
After listening to Gu Qingzhi's words, Shangguan Nanxing found that other things were as he expected. After all, Shangguan Nanfeng forced the emperor to abdicate in the previous life in the same way. However, the matter of Eunuch Zhu was beyond his expectations.
"Indeed, the news has spread throughout Dongyou City, and some people are looking everywhere for someone who looks like Eunuch Zhu..." Gu Qingzhi added. After all, everyone in the city knew about this.
"Wait, General Gu, Eunuch Zhu is dead, and now you're looking for someone who looks like him?"
Shangguan Nanxing keenly noticed that something was wrong here, so he asked again.
"Indeed, the Third Prince has also noticed something is wrong, right?" Gu Qingzhi looked at Shangguan Nanxing's expression and asked directly.
"General Gu, perhaps our breakthrough point lies with Eunuch Zhu. Let's keep our troops in place for now and find a few strong martial artists to go into the city to find Eunuch Zhu."
Shangguan Nanxing thought for a while, and after connecting everything, he spoke solemnly.
"What does the Third Prince mean?" Gu Qingzhi asked in a low voice after hearing Shangguan Nanxing's words.
"Shangguan Nanfeng has not ascended the throne yet. He must be missing something necessary. This thing should have been hidden by my father in Eunuch Zhu. If this is the case, then my father should be safe now."
Shangguan Nanxing looked at Gu Qingzhi and expressed his innermost guess.
If this were not the case, Shangguan Nanfeng should have forced his way to the throne just like he did in his previous life, instead of dragging his feet until now and not announcing his enthronement.
"What the Third Prince said makes sense. Let's go find Eunuch Zhu right away. But is this Eunuch Zhu really still in the city?"
Gu Qingzhi thought that people in the palace had searched for several days but couldn't find him. Could Eunuch Zhu really be hiding so secretly?
"Of course he is. Eunuch Zhu cares a lot about my father. He would never leave my father alone and run away. He should be hiding somewhere in the imperial city so that he can get news about my father first."
Shangguan Nanxing thought of Eunuch Zhu and spoke directly and confidently.
"It's good that he's here, but many of us don't know what Eunuch Zhu looks like. Just relying on the portraits in the city is like looking for a needle in a haystack."
Gu Qingzhi thought of the scene when those people were looking for Eunuch Zhu before. They couldn't find him after such a big fuss. They also had to be careful not to be noticed by outsiders. It was indeed too difficult.
"Since we can't find it, let Eunuch Zhu come to find us." Shangguan Nanxing understood after hearing Gu Qingzhi's words.
