Chongming State, Observatory.

The thin-faced, forty-year-old Imperial Master looked up at the starry sky, frowned, and muttered to himself, "The world is in chaos, and the hen crows at dawn. It's really a sign of the hen crows at dawn. Who is it? Who is the evil star beside the fourth princess? She actually lifted up the female star with her own strength? In ancient times, only the general star lifted up the emperor star. Why is it the evil star this time..."

After looking at the sky again and seeing the evil star that was brighter than the star Nüxiu, the imperial teacher turned around, hurried down the observatory, and headed straight for the imperial palace.

…

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study.

A teacup fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

The Emperor of Chongming, Gu Shichun, was furious: "...No need to wait, wanted, wanted nationwide, this Luo Shuang is a scourge, why did she restore Qingwu Kingdom and mess up Chongming Kingdom? And you, Shi Pingchuan, why did you privately promise to help Luo Shuang restore the country, Prime Minister, do you want to get involved in military power?"

Aside.

Prince Gu Shiming, who looked somewhat similar to Gu Shichun, raised his eyes and glanced at Shi Pingchuan, with a barely detectable hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth.

"Your Majesty, please calm down." Prime Minister Shi Pingchuan took a step forward slowly, "Your Majesty, this old minister has never thought of getting involved in military power. The reason why I promised Luo Shuang was because of the matter of the demon I mentioned before.

Luo Shuang is just a woman, without any soldiers or generals, so she can't do anything. The real threat is the demons scattered all over Chongming. I am using Luo Shuang as a guide to lure out the demons hiding in various places, and when they show their true colors, I will catch them all in one fell swoop."

"Prime Minister, as far as I know, not only are there demons wreaking havoc in the world, but there are also gods and immortals from heaven coming down to earth to wipe out the demons. Why did the Prime Minister only mention the demons but not the gods and immortals?" Prince Gu Shiming said leisurely.

"Your Highness, there are no gods or immortals. They are just the demons flattering themselves." Shi Pingchuan chuckled. "Otherwise, how could the growth methods of gods and immortals and demons be the same? Your Highness is known for his wisdom and bravery, so he shouldn't be unable to see through these little tricks!"

"Prime Minister, I really can't see through the demons and gods. I just don't understand why the Prime Minister insists on killing all the demons?" Gu Shiming said, "If the Prime Minister hadn't insisted on killing the demons, Chongming Kingdom wouldn't have been in chaos."

He paused, "Let's not talk about the civil unrest in Qingwu for now. If one day, Beihai Kingdom and Da Chu Kingdom use the Heavenly Demon, how should we respond?"

The prime minister calmly said eight words: "If you reuse the demon, you will be retaliated. Your Majesty, just wait and see. Three years later, if there is a country that reuses the demon and does not cause chaos, you can use this old minister's head as a sacrifice to the heaven..."

A ball of golden light burst out from Gu Shiming's eyes.

The emperor glanced at the two people who were arguing and said, "My brother, Lord Shi, I asked you to come here to discuss the matter of Luo Shuang. People in the country are unsettled right now. If the source of the hidden danger is not resolved as soon as possible, I am afraid there will be endless troubles in the future."

Shi Pingchuan said: "Your Majesty, give me another month, and I promise to eliminate all the demons in Chongming..."

The Imperial Master rushed in.

In the imperial study, the eyes of the three people fell on the imperial teacher at the same time.

Emperor Gu Shichun frowned slightly: "Grandmaster, why are you in such a hurry?"

The Imperial Master did not bother to salute: "Your Majesty, please send troops quickly to wipe out Luo Shuang. I observed the sky at night. The star of the Female Constellation is against the Big Dipper. There is a demon star guarding it, and the Emperor Star is dim. If Luo Shuang is not suppressed in time, the world will be in chaos soon."

"What?" Gu Shichun's face changed.

"Your Majesty, everything I said is true." The national teacher said, "The light of the Nüxu star is shining, but it is not stable yet. Its star power relies entirely on the support of the demon star. When we suppress the Nüxu star, we must not let the demon star escape, otherwise, Chongming will be in danger."

Demon star?

The prime minister's heart skipped a beat.

The shadow of Doug inexplicably flashed through my mind.

He knew that the national teacher was a real talent. On the day when the alien warrior took over the body, it was he who ran into the palace to warn His Majesty that the evil star had descended and the world would be in chaos. That was why he was able to successfully convince the emperor to wipe out the demons in Chongming Kingdom.

But he was also against him everywhere and wanted to drive him out of the position of prime minister. If the national teacher and the prime minister had not had a feud for a long time, he even suspected that the national teacher had seen through his identity.

But even so, the Imperial Master had never been as flustered as he was today...

Monster Star!? The person behind Luo Shuang couldn't be Doug!

But if it was Duger, why didn't he come to the capital to find me?

Was it because my hint was not obvious enough, or was it because he didn't believe me...

No.

The person behind Luo Shuang must not be Doug.

Given Doug's personality, he wouldn't have been silent for more than ten days before erupting. Perhaps he was a warrior from another planet who got lucky! There are ten planets, so Doug can't be the only evildoer? Shi Pingchuan looked at the golden number one on the personal panel floating in front of him, and his mind was full of thoughts. His palms were sweating. He was always calm, but after hearing about the appearance of the evil star, he actually felt a little panic for the first time...

…

"My dear Mr. Shi, Prime Minister..."

Gu Shichun's call called Shi Pingchuan back to his senses. After waking up, he quickly apologized to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I have been busy with official duties these days. I am a little tired. I was a little dazed just now. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"The Shi family has worked hard. But the Prime Minister still has to work hard on state affairs, and the Prime Minister can't rest!" Gu Shichun is an old fox, how could he not see Shi Pingchuan's loss of composure? He comforted him with concern and asked, "What do you think of what the national teacher said?"

"My original intention was to label Luo Shuang as a demon possessed by a spirit, and then to issue a nationwide manhunt to force her out of Chongming State in order to dispel the rumors she created."

Shi Pingchuan pondered for a moment and said, "Since the national teacher said that the demon star is causing chaos in the world, the previous strategy will not work. Luo Shuang is short of soldiers and generals, so let the prince find a trustworthy general, pretend to be bewitched by Luo Shuang, surrender to Luo Shuang, lure her out, and catch her in one fell swoop."

"Okay." Gu Shiming did not argue with the prime minister at this time and agreed directly.

"Luo Shuang once studied in the Qinglan Sword Sect. Your Majesty can write to the Qinglan Sword Sect and ask them to cooperate in arresting Luo Shuang." Shi Pingchuan continued, "To prevent the Qinglan Sword Saint from being bewitched by the evil star behind Luo Shuang..."

Before you know it.

Shi Pingchuan has used the same template he used to deal with Doug to deal with the demon star behind Luo Shuang.

Whether it is a simulation field or an alien battlefield, what Doug is best at is not keywords, but the art of talking. Many opponents who are stronger than him are often confused by his few words and end up becoming his helpers.

No matter whether the person on the other side is Duger or not, just treat him the same way you would treat him.

Doug did not come to meet him immediately, which always made him feel uneasy. After all, in the last alien battlefield, Doug had the upper hand but only brought back one warrior from Qiyuan Star.

Under the circumstances at that time, it was entirely possible for him to bring back nine of his own people from Qiyuan Star...

…

"Let's follow Shi Qing's plan." Gu Shichun glanced at Shi Pingchuan, nodded, and then looked at Gu Shiming, "My brother, cooperate with the prime minister with all your strength."

"Yes, Brother Wang." Gu Shiming said.

"Okay, you two can leave! I have something important to discuss with the Imperial Master." Gu Shichun waved his hand and dismissed the two.

Shi Pingchuan and Gu Shiming each bowed and left.

After the two of them had walked out for about a quarter of an hour, Gu Shichun looked at the Imperial Master with a worried look on his face: "Is it really okay to let the Prime Minister become so powerful? I can feel that the Prime Minister's energy and blood are getting stronger day by day. This incredible growth rate is not much slower than that of the Grand Master. I am afraid that one day, he will bite me back!"

"Your Majesty, using demons to exorcise demons is the best strategy. The Prime Minister's short life is not a concern." The Imperial Master sighed, "What I am worried about is the demon star behind Luo Shuang. The demon star is getting brighter day by day. With the Prime Minister's strength, I am afraid he is no match for the demon star. Your Majesty needs to find a way to help the Prime Minister."

"Has the Imperial Master found out recently what the Prime Minister relied on for his growth?" Gu Shichun asked.

"In addition to suppressing the demons, the prime minister has also excluded officials who are against him, promoted his cronies, and instructed them to accept bribes and buy and sell official positions. I suspect that his attributes are related to power." The national teacher said, "If one day the prime minister really becomes too powerful to be removed, Your Majesty can dismiss him, which should quickly weaken his ability."
