Princess Zhaoning, as always, was tormented by the rebels in the northwest.

She felt that the group of people led by Gu Xu seemed to have the vision of the entire Great Wilderness. Every decision and every move of the Great Qi Imperial Court, no matter how private, seemed to be under the control of the other party.

She initially guessed that it was because the other party had some kind of divination spell, just like the Heavenly Deduction Technique of Luo Chuan, the head of the Exorcism Division.

But as time went on, she discovered that the rebels' intelligence was far more accurate than divination could achieve; And even if she set up a magic circle, dispatched monks, and tried to interfere with the rebels' divination, it would have no effect at all.

This made her look up at the important officials of the court in front of her, and she felt that all of them looked like ghosts.

At this time, a cold and deep voice suddenly sounded in her mind:

"You're thinking too much."

"Who are you?" Princess Zhaoning's brows furrowed, and her heartstrings tightened.

Although she was an ordinary person who had not cultivated, in the mansions of royal relatives like her, extremely powerful formation prohibitions were arranged.

Only those with amazing strength and sophisticated means can quietly cross the prohibitions and directly invade her divine consciousness world.

"It doesn't matter who I am," the voice laughed, "you just need to know that I am on the same side as you and want to solve the crisis facing this country as soon as possible." ”

Princess Zhaoning remained silent.

Although she knew that with the strength of the other party, if there was really hostility towards her, then she would have already lost her soul and not even ashes.

But she still had doubts in her mind.

What if the other side is brewing some kind of conspiracy?

"Maybe you don't trust me quite yet," the voice paused, and then added, "but there's one thing I must warn you of.

"In the hands of that thief named Gu Xu, he has a magic weapon that can observe the situation in the Great Wilderness - everything you do, everything you say, and everything you arrange can't escape his perception.

"I'll help you deal with him next.

But our real plans cannot be put on paper, nor can they be told to others, let alone explained to the outside world. It can only be hidden in our minds - this is the only blind spot within Gu Xu's perception.

"We need to do something to deceive him and take advantage of him.

"We want to tell him that omniscience does not mean omnipotence.

"If you know too much, you will go astray."

Princess Zhaoning still did not respond.

Everything described by this voice was too shocking for her. It was like a thunderclap that echoed in her heart and couldn't be calmed down for a long time.

"Gu Xu is only a Sixth Realm cultivator at the moment," she said in her heart, "Even if he has another famous weapon in his hand, he won't have such great ability, right?" ”

"If he doesn't have such great ability, then how can he have the confidence to declare to the world that he is the reincarnation of Emperor Ziwei?" The voice sneered a few times and asked rhetorically.

"Do you think Gu Xu claims to be the reincarnation of Ziwei, is it really true, or is he making up nonsense and bluffing?" Princess Zhaoning seized this opportunity and raised this question that had puzzled her for a long time.

"Do you think that Zhao Changying and Xu Man are fools who will be coaxed by an ordinary Sixth Realm cultivator with rhetoric, give up their power and status, and serve loyally under him?"

After the voice said this, it completely disappeared from Princess Zhaoning's mind, as if it was an ethereal hallucination.

Princess Zhaoning took a deep breath and looked at the important ministers of the court in front of her again.

Nowadays, it no longer matters whether these people are internal ghosts or not. If everything that the cold voice said was true, then every word she said to them would drift into Gu Xu's mind unconsciously.

They seem to have become actors on stage, and Gu Xu is the audience hidden in the shadows.

Everything you do becomes a performance.

"Hide from him, mislead him, deceive him."

"Omniscient does not mean omnipotent."

"If you know too much, you will go astray."

These words echoed in Princess Zhaoning's mind for a long time.

She pondered for a moment, and gradually had an idea in her mind, an idea that had a chance to turn the audience into clowns and let mortals compete against the immortals.

"Tan Shoufu, I suspect that you are secretly colluding with Gu Yi."

Her voice was crisp and pleasant, like a spring breeze blowing on her face and a stream murmuring.

But when it fell into Tan Shoufu's ears, it became a thunderbolt on a sunny day and a biting cold wind.

This old man, who was good at writing gorgeous articles and praising the emperor's merits, fell to his knees with a frightened plop, and kowtowed again and again: "The emperor's kindness to the old minister is as heavy as a mountain, I am afraid that I can't repay the emperor's kindness in case of emergency, how can I secretly collude with the traitor?" Please also ask Her Royal Highness the princess to listen and understand, don't believe the provocation of traitorous ministers......"

Princess Zhaoning was indifferent to Tan Shoufu's bitter pleading.

Her eyes inadvertently drifted out of the window, thinking about whether Gu Xu, who was thousands of miles away, was also paying attention to this scene in the princess's mansion from afar.

…………

Meanwhile.

In the shade of the trees outside the princess's mansion, a mysterious and eerie figure is hidden. He wore an ordinary coarse cloth shirt, no crown, and a simple turban, almost blending in with his surroundings. A black iron mask obscured his face, completely concealing it, revealing only two deep eye sockets.

It looks like a rotten tree trunk that still stands silently, and it looks like a ghost walking in the red dust of the market.

This person is the remnant ghost body of Emperor Tianxing.

At the request of the "deity" in the Qianyang Palace, he can't show his true face, he can't use the identity of "Xiao Zeyao" to walk the world, and he can't recognize his daughter when he meets him, so he can only hide his head and hide his face, playing a mysterious strong man in the shadows.

In his opinion, Xiao Wanjun is indeed the most flexible one among all his heirs, and he can understand it when he encounters problems. Many years ago, he had always felt sorry for her lack of cultivation talent.

But now, he knows the secret hidden in the "Tai'a Sword" and sees the true purpose of Taishang Haotian.

He suddenly felt that Xiao Wanjun was an extremely lucky thing as a mortal.

If Xiao Wanjun is a cultivator, I am afraid that in the near future, he will be chosen by Taishang Haotian to follow his old path again and become a prison guard with no emotion and no freedom in the Great Wilderness World.

"I don't know if I have a chance to change the fate of my family as a puppet for generations in my lifetime......"

…………

"I don't know if we will be able to go to that day and see ...... in our lifetime"

Zhao Yan held the window edge with both hands, bent slightly, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and took a deep breath.

The moonlight shined through the lattice, spilling on her, making her skin as white as snow and glowing with a dazzling luster.

Only his cheeks were flushed, as if he had drunk intoxicating wine.

Gu Xu stood behind her, hugging her waist, his lips against her ears, his breath lingering between her hair.

"Don't forget, your husband fell from the sky," he chuckled, "and of course I'll take you home in my lifetime." ”

"Hmm......" Zhao Yan snorted softly and did not answer immediately.

Her voice was melodious, like singing an unknown tune; His eyes narrowed into a blurred slit, and his long eyelashes trembled slightly, I don't know whether he was indulging in the pleasure of his body or being aroused by Gu Xu's words in endless reverie. (End of chapter)
