Princess Zhaoning was tortured to death by the rebels in the northwest as always.

She felt that the group of people headed by Gu Xu seemed to have control over the entire wilderness.Every decision and every action of the Da Qi court, no matter how private, seemed to be under the control of the other party.

She initially guessed that this was because the other party mastered some kind of divination spell, just like the secret deduction technique of Luo Chuan, the head of the exorcism department.

But as time went by, she discovered that the accuracy of the rebels' intelligence control was far beyond the level that divination could achieve; and even if she set up magic circles and dispatched monks to try to interfere with the rebels' divination, it would have no effect at all.

This made her look up at the important officials in front of her and feel like they were all moles.

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

"You think too much."

"Who are you?" Princess Zhaoning frowned and her heart tightened.

Although she is an ordinary person with no cultivation, extremely powerful formation restrictions are placed in the mansions of royal relatives like her.

Only those with astonishing strength and extraordinary means can quietly cross the many restrictions and directly invade her spiritual world.

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

Princess Zhaoning remained silent.

Although she knew that based on the strength of the other party, if he was really hostile to her, then she would have been completely shattered and not even ashes would be left.

But she still had doubts.

What if the other party is brewing some conspiracy?

"Perhaps you still don't trust me yet," the voice paused, then continued, "But there is something I must remind you.

"The rebel named Gu Xu holds a magic weapon that can see the situation in the wilderness - everything you do, say, and arrange cannot escape his perception.

"I will help you deal with him next.

"But our real plan cannot appear on paper, nor can it be told to others, let alone any explanation to the outside world. It can only be hidden in our minds - this is the only blind spot in Gu Xu's range of perception.

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

“We need to tell him that omniscience does not mean omnipotence.

“Knowing too much can lead you astray.”

Princess Zhaoning still didn't respond.

What this voice described was too shocking to her.It was like a thunder that echoed in her heart and could not be calmed down for a long time.

"Gu Xu is just a sixth-level monk at the moment," she thought in her mind, "Even if he has another famous weapon in his hand, he won't be so capable, 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.

"Do you think Gu Xu's claim to be the reincarnation of Zi Wei is really true, or is he just making it up 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 a mediocre sixth-level monk with sweet words to give up their power and status and serve under him loyally?"

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

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

Now, whether these people are moles or not is no longer important.If everything that the cold voice said was true, then every word she said to them would drift into Gu Xu's mind unknowingly.

They seemed to be the actors on the stage, while Gu Xu was the audience hiding in the dark.

Everything you do becomes a performance. "Conceal him, mislead him, deceive him."

“Omniscient does not mean omnipotent.”

“Knowing too much can lead you astray.”

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

She pondered for a moment, and an idea gradually came to her mind, an idea that had the opportunity to turn the audience into clowns and let mortals compete with gods.

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

Her voice is clear and sweet, like the spring breeze blowing on her face and the gurgling stream.

But when it fell into Tan Shoufu's ears, it turned out to be a bolt from the blue and a biting cold wind.

This old man, who was good at writing gorgeous articles to praise the emperor, was so frightened that he fell to his knees and kowtowed repeatedly: "The emperor has been so kind to me as a mountain. I am afraid that I will not be able to repay your kindness. How could I secretly collude with the traitors?" ? Please, Your Highness the Princess, please listen carefully and never believe the instigation of the traitor..."

Princess Zhaoning was indifferent to Tan Shoufu's pleading.

Her eyes drifted out of the window inadvertently, wondering if Gu Xu, thousands of miles away, was also paying attention to the scene in the princess's mansion from a distance.

…………

at the same time.

Under the shade of the trees outside the princess's house, there is a mysterious and eerie figure.He was wearing an ordinary coarse cloth, without a crown, and simply tied a turban, almost blending in with the surrounding environment.The black iron mask covered his face, completely hiding his face, only revealing two deep eye sockets.

Like a decayed tree trunk still standing silently, or like a ghost walking in the world of the city.

This person is the ghost body of Emperor Tianxing.

At the request of the "Immortal" in the Qianyang Palace, he cannot show his true face to others, cannot walk in the world as "Xiao Zeyao", and cannot recognize his daughter when he meets her. He can only hide his head and face, acting as a shadow. The mysterious strongman.

In his opinion, Xiao Wanjun is indeed the most flexible of all his children, and he can solve problems at the first glance.Many years ago, he had been deeply regretful that she had no talent for cultivation.

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

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

If Xiao Wanjun is a cultivator, I am afraid that he will be selected by Supreme Haotian soon and follow his old path again, becoming a jailer without emotions and freedom in the wild world.

"I don't know if I will have the chance to change the fate of my family being reduced to puppets for generations..."

…………

"I wonder if we can go to the sky and have a look in our lifetime..."

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

The moonlight filtered through the window lattice and fell on her body, making her skin as white as snow and glowing with a dazzling luster.

Only her cheeks were flushed, as if she had drunk some intoxicating wine.

Gu Xu stood behind her, hugging her waist, his lips pressed against her ear, and his breath lingered in her hair.

"Don't forget, your husband fell from the sky," he chuckled. "Of course I will take you home to see him in his lifetime."

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

Her voice was melodious, like singing an unknown ditty; her eyes were narrowed into a blurred slit, and her long eyelashes were trembling slightly. She didn't know whether she was indulging in physical pleasure, or whether she was being stirred up by Gu Xu's words. . (End of chapter)
