Meanwhile.

In an ethereal space of consciousness, two identical figures confronted each other from afar.

One of them was perched high on a golden throne, shrouded in radiance, and looked majestic; The other stood at the foot of the long steps, ragged and shackled with metal hands and feet, his face hidden in shadow.

"Xiao Zeyao, you have to remember," the figure on the high seat said in a flat tone, "I released you from the ground this time just to deal with Ziwei, not to let you do anything else." ”

"I know, you've said this more than ten times, and your ears are calloused," the figure at the foot of the long stairs said impatiently, "Sometimes I really don't understand, you, as a projection of the Taishang Haotian, claim to be able to control everything in the world, but you can't even handle a minor monk of the sixth realm, and even be wary of me, a prisoner of the lower ranks.

"You're not going to be a paper tiger with a strong outside, right?"

The figure on the high seat did not respond.

As a projection of consciousness from the supreme ruler of the Upper Realm, he never bothered to explain much to the prisoners in the prison. Now, the reason why he can't directly wipe out the group of anti-thieves led by Gu Xu is because the rules of the two worlds are different, and every time he crosses the border to call on his strength, he will pay a huge price.

The golden heavenly thunder summoned on the day of the Luoshui Conference had caused a serious backlash to his body.

But he wasn't flustered at all.

No matter how chaotic the Great Wilderness is today, it has nothing to do with him.

When the passage of the two realms is cultivated again, his body can descend to the Great Wilderness, and all problems will no longer be a problem.

After a short silence, the figure on the high seat spoke lightly again: "Ziwei has a magic weapon in his hand, which can let him see everything that is happening in the Great Wilderness. Don't be clever enough to fall for him. ”

Hearing this, the figure under the long stairs laughed: "Many times, seeing too many things is not necessarily a good thing. Maybe this will become his weakness! ”

…………

"The emperor is here today, why are you doing it?"

Shangguan Jin, who was sorting out the official documents, raised his head and asked lightly.

She was plain-faced, her cheeks were thin, and her beautiful willow eyes reflected the figure of the man in green shirt in front of her, but there was no slightest emotional fluctuation.

Gu Xu has long been accustomed to her cold attitude these days.

He dragged a wooden chair from the side and sat down opposite Shangguan Hibiscus.

"There's one thing, I need your help with Qing Ming."

"The emperor gave a direct order, so why discuss it with me."

"Wen Chang should have told you that Xiao Zeyao's remnant ghost body has been released," Gu Xu didn't go around the bend with her, and got down to business, "He has been imprisoned underground for many years, and his stomach is already full of all kinds of dark tricks, and he will definitely do anything to deal with us."

"Although we have raised the anti-flag, there are still many relatives and friends we care about on the territory of Daqi. I hope to send someone to protect them—and if they want to, to take them to our territory as much as possible, so that Xiao Zeyao doesn't make a fuss about them. ”

After speaking, he took out a thick stack of lists from the "Xianyunju" and handed it to Shangguan Hibiscus.

Shangguan Jin took the list and quickly skimmed through it.

In the middle of the list, she saw a lot of familiar names, such as "Shi Xiaohan", "Chen Jisheng", "Wang Yang" and so on, and even maids like "Chenxi" were not left behind.

Shangguan Jin frowned slightly, and glanced at Gu Xu seriously, with a trace of doubt in his eyes.

In her opinion, Gu Xu in front of her is no longer the teenager he once was.

The high Emperor of the Middle Heaven Arctic Ziwei may go to some of the obsessions of the original body in order to better integrate this body.

But it is impossible for him to attach so much importance to every line of cause and effect and every bond of the original body, care so much, and consider it so thoughtfully.

At this moment, an incredible thought popped into her mind—

Is it possible that the teenager is still alive?

Emperor Tianxing, who was controlled by Taishang Haotian, could quietly create a remnant ghost body and survive under the deep well.

Gu Xu faced Emperor Ziwei's seizure, would he also have a back hand?

However, Shangguan quickly put this idea behind him.

When Emperor Tianxing took over the "Tai'a Sword", he was already an Eighth Realm monk; And when Gu Xu was taken away, he was only in the fifth realm, how could he be able to fight against the former Upper Realm Supreme?

The list in front of her must be a performance by Emperor Ziwei, the purpose of which is to buy her loyalty.

"Yes, Emperor."

Shangguan Jian agreed, his tone unwavering.

Seeing her nodding, Gu Xu smiled with satisfaction and stood up from the chair.

The reason why he found Guan Jin, not Luo Chuan, to do this was because he was worried that Luo Chuan would see a flaw in it and find out that he was not the real Ziwei Emperor.

But Shangguan Hibiscus is different.

Even if she finds a flaw, she will hide the secret for Gu Xu and willingly help him.

At this moment, a flattering voice floated in from outside the window:

"Husband, I've been looking for you in the house for a long time, but I didn't expect you to hide here."

The person who came was Zhao Yan.

Her eyes were rolling, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and she was dressed in bright red, which was in stark contrast to the simple and elegant green dress on Shangguan Jin's body.

She pushed open the door of the house, walked straight to Gu Xu's side, took his arm and walked outside: "It's not early, now it's time for us to go back to the room to cultivate." If the husband doesn't hurry up to improve his cultivation, what will he do when the Tianxing Emperor's ghost body comes to the door? ”

Although Gu Xu's body was a little tired after going through last night's toss, he didn't want to show weakness in front of Zhao Yan, so he nodded with a smile, claiming that "when I cultivate today, I will definitely let Her Excellency the Holy Maiden see how powerful a husband is."

Zhao Yan expressed disbelief on her lips, but her arms silently wrapped around Gu Xu's waist, and even her cheeks were next to his shoulders, as if she was obsessed with the breath on his body.

The figures of the two quickly disappeared at the end of the hallway.

Shangguan Jinmu watched them off, and her pale lips pursed into a line.

Motionless, his eyes were in a trance, as if he had become a sculpture.

After a long time, she came back to her senses and continued to concentrate on sorting out the papers on the table, as if nothing had happened.

…………

"The eyeliner that Bengong was newly sent to the six cities in the northwest has now lost contact with Luo Jing. According to the results of the divination, they were all arrested by the rebels.

"The ability of the rebels to obtain intelligence requires our high attention. If nothing else, there should be a lot of ghosts hidden in our court. ”

That night, Princess Zhaoning summoned several important ministers of the Great Qi Dynasty into the mansion and said with a solemn face.
