"I really didn't expect Zhao Changying to make such a move.

"When he entered the secret room for retreat, we didn't know whether he was alive or dead, let alone when to deal with Zhao Yan. If he suddenly comes out of the country and finds out that we are against his daughter, what do we do? ”

Zhao Yu clenched his hands into fists, his face was pale and gray, and he paced restlessly around the room.

"Especially Na Chongli, who actually handed over the coronation of the new king to Gu Xu's kid.

"Now his prestige in the eyes of the Vulcan believers is far greater than it was then. They are already thinking of him as a living immortal! ”

Zhao Yu's father, Zhao Changqi, was sitting on a chair by the wall at the moment, with his head bowed and his hands on his cheeks. Although he didn't say a word, his solemn gaze revealed that he was not in a happy mood.

After a long while, he took a deep breath and said slowly:

"Zhao Yan is really not easy to deal with now. After all, Zhao Changying is a 'true monarch' powerhouse, and his ability is too difficult to guess. He may well have the ability to perceive any crisis that is happening to his daughter.

"But Gu Xu must not continue to stay in Dayan.

"If he stays here, people's hearts will continue to gather towards him, and we will gradually be marginalized."

"And what if he doesn't leave?" Zhao Yu smiled, "Now, Chongli serves him, Zhao Yan is devoted to him, and the envoys of Daqi don't dare to arrest him easily, for him, there is no safer and more comfortable place in the world than Dayan." If it were me, I wouldn't want to leave. ”

Zhao Changqi was silent for a long time, and said lightly: "Then in this way, we can only find a way to let him die." ”

The people saw him as the embodiment of God. If we kill him, will it cause public outrage? ”

"You're not smart enough. We don't need to let people know that it was our hands. We can blame the Great Qi Court for this—after all, the Great Qi Court has been trying to hunt him down lately.

"When he dies, we will pretend to mourn for him, and maybe we can take this opportunity to win the support of the Fire Temple and the people."

Hearing his father's words, Zhao Yu had to sigh silently in his heart, Jiang was still old and spicy.

"Father, do you have a specific plan now?" He asked.

Zhao Changqi smiled faintly, took out a small blue and white porcelain vase shaped like a gourd from the storage magic weapon, and placed it on the table.

"This bottle contains the juice extracted from the 'Soul Snatcher Grass'," he said, pointing to the bottle, "This poisonous weed is colorless, odorless, and difficult to detect, and only grows on the islands of the South China Sea, and I sent someone to buy it from Dou Yinian, the governor of the South China Sea of the Great Qi Dynasty."

"Once this poison is consumed, the soul of both an ordinary person and a practitioner will dissipate silently in their sleep.

"Only the strong people of saints and above can be immune to its toxicity."

"It's too cheap for that kid to die so comfortably." Zhao Yu snorted.

However, although he said this, in his mind, the appearance of Gu Xu lying on the bed and breaking his breath had already appeared, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he became.

…………

When Zhao Yan changed from a princess to a king of Yan, Gu Xu's daily life did not change much. Most of the time, he basically stayed in his room to temper the true element, draw the sigils, explore more uses of the "astrolabe", and would also study the "power of incense" from the followers of the fire god.

Recently, he discovered that the power of faith could not only be directly transformed into his true element through the "Huilu" rune, but also in an area like Jicheng, where the cultists of the fire god gathered, the power of his fire-attribute spells would also be greatly enhanced.

For example, with the same True Yuan, he could only light a pile of dry wood in Luojing, but in Jicheng he could make a forest ignite a raging fire.

He planned to say goodbye to her and go to the boundless East China Sea to find the next fragment of the "astrolabe" after Zhao Yan got used to her new identity.

Zhao Yan became the king of Yan, so it was naturally impossible to accompany him all over the world as promised him before.

He had to go alone.

Later that day, when he had finished his contemplation and opened his eyes, a small maid with a tray carrying a teapot and a teacup appeared at the door of his room.

"My lord, the king wants to invite you to tea," I heard her say in a timid voice, "This is a mountain rhododendron unique to the territory of Dayan, which can help you relieve your fatigue after your practice. She knew you liked it, so she asked me to bring it to you to taste. ”

Gu Xu stood up from the seat and walked to the door, only to feel a faint fragrance wafting in the wind, which was refreshing.

"Thank you for me." He said.

At the same time, he sighed in his heart, Zhao Yan is really considerate today, obviously he has been dealing with messy affairs in the conference hall all day, and he is very busy, but he still does not forget to send someone to bring him tea.

It's just that the moment he took the tray from the maid's hand, his movements suddenly stopped, and the expression on his face became serious.

"Your Excellency...... What happened to you? The maid asked nervously. Her face was slightly pale, as if she was frightened by Gu Xu's actions.

Gu Xu did not respond immediately.

Ever since he had obtained the "Xuanwu" fragment of the "Astrolabe", he had mastered the ability to deduce a person's fate through the main star of his life house.

Naturally, he can also use this to premonition the crisis that may happen to him.

And after his repeated practice in recent days, this skill has been continuously strengthened, and it has almost become a kind of intuition for him.

At this moment, he felt very clearly that there was danger hidden in the teapot—a danger that could kill him.

"This pot of tea can't be sent by King Yan," he frowned, put the tray on a wooden table beside him, and asked in a cold voice, "Tell me the truth, who asked you to send it to me?" ”

Hearing his words, the maid couldn't help but shudder, but she still said in a slightly trembling voice, "Just ...... It is the king. ”

"Lying is a bad habit," Gu Xu said as he took out a rusty copper coin from his pocket, "You may not know, I'm not just a talisman, I'm also an amateur soothsayer.

"I'll know if you're telling the truth or not."

He silently recited the names of "Taishang Haotian" and "Ziwei Emperor" in his heart, and threw the copper coin into the air.

When it falls back into his palm, its back side up.

"God told me that you just lied to me," Gu Xu looked at the trembling little maid with a smile in his eyes, "I'll give you another chance to tell the truth." ”

The little maid didn't say anything, but turned around and ran.

But as an ordinary person who has no cultivation, how could she easily run away under Gu Xu's nose?

Gu Xu took out a "body talisman" from the "Xianyunju" and threw it at her gently, tripping her to the ground in an instant, and then tying her into a zongzi.

At this time, the guards of the Dayan Palace hurriedly arrived.

They looked at the little maid who was writhing and twisting desperately on the ground, and then looked at Gu Xu who was standing aside, revealing surprised eyes.

"My lord, what just happened?"

"She was instructed by others to have bad intentions and wanted to harm me." Gu Xu replied.

Before he finished speaking, the little maid no longer hid it, but shouted in a hysterical voice with tears in her eyes: "You are a bastard who colludes with ghosts, the public enemy of the Qi people!" You've killed my people in Loking! I want you to die! ”

The guards looked at the little maid and then at Gu Xu, only to feel that the enmity between Gu Xu and Daqi was really deep, and even a minor little girl had to find a way to deal with him.

The leading guard stepped forward, pulled the rope, and lifted the little maid from the ground.

"My lord, it is our dereliction of duty to have such a situation today," he said to Gu Xu with a respectful attitude, "The king has given us an order to do everything in our power to ensure your safety. We'll take her to the dungeon for interrogation. ”

"I don't think this matter should be so simple," Gu Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, "If she is instructed by the Great Qi Imperial Court, then this plan is too clumsy." With Luo Jing's style of Princess Zhaoning, if she wanted to deal with me, she would definitely send a large group of monks from the Fifth and Sixth Realms to surround me to the ground, and maybe even invite a strong saint to suppress the formation, so as to be foolproof.

"How could you send only a lonely little girl?"

With that, he walked over to the table by the door, opened the lid of the teapot, and looked closely.

The tea is made from flowers, with a faint sweet aroma, no discoloration, no peculiar smell, and it seems that there is nothing wrong with it at all.

If Gu Xu was just an ordinary Fourth Realm cultivator, without the intuition of danger given to him by the "Astrolabe", there was a high probability that he would be attacked unnoticed.

But when he divined the copper coin again, the divination results clearly showed that the tea was poisoned.

Gu Xu was well-read and knew that almost all the colorless and odorless poisons in the Great Wilderness were extremely rare and rare.

For example, the "Beauty Tears" in the Northwest Desert, the "Death Spring" in the Southern Valley, and the "Soul Snatcher Grass" in the South China Sea Islands, etc., are all hard to buy and hard to find.

"If this little maid is trying to kill me out of personal hatred, then how did she get this expensive poison?"

Gu Xu thought about it secretly, and only felt that behind this matter, there must be a hidden mastermind behind the scenes.

That person's identity is extraordinary, he doesn't want to expose himself, and he doesn't know Gu Xu's methods very well.

"Who could it be?"

An answer quickly appeared in Gu Xu's mind.

A few minutes later, Zhao Yan walked from the other end of the corridor with a few black-clothed guards.

She walked hurriedly, her eyebrows furrowed, and her eyes were full of worry.

"Are you okay," as soon as she saw Gu Xu, she looked him up and down, for fear that he was missing an arm and a leg, "I just heard a report that someone wants to harm you." ”
