Chapter 403: Be on guard against others. After waiting for a long time, the fish finally took the bait (please subscribe)
A night of beauty and amorous feelings.
"Is someone like you worthy of entrusting your sincerity?"
Empress Xiyao was a little lazy, but more often she was whispering.
Gu Changge stroked her hair and smiled: "Why not?"
"But the more I understand you, the more uneasy I feel. Sometimes I really want to know if you are only in your twenties?"
Empress Xiyao did not dwell on this issue too much, but sighed slightly.
For Empress Xiyao, she really needs a reliance now, and there is no better choice than Gu Changge.
Under this premise, it is natural for Gu Changge to intervene in the affairs of the demon world through her.
Of course, Empress Xiyao also knows that Gu Changge will give her necessary support in critical times.
For the rest of the things, even if he can give them, he will not give them.
This is more like a deal.
Gu Changge's behavior is not to say that he is extremely selfish, but it is absolutely rational to the extreme. He will not change any of his actions because of personal emotions.
So don't expect him to mix any emotion into it.
This made Queen Xiyao feel a little lost and disappointed.
For a period of time afterwards, the whole demon world was in panic because of the attack on Queen Xiyao.
Almost every day, many creatures can be seen patrolling near the imperial city.
All suspects were intercepted and repeatedly checked. If there was any abnormality, they would be immediately imprisoned in the sky prison.
The assassination of the queen affected the minds of many creatures in the demon world.
The rest of the domains were also shocked. Many places even had big monsters who heard about this and felt that it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. They began to gather troops and tried to resist.
The huge demon world is no longer as peaceful and stable as before.
Many people in the demon world hate the traitors who assassinated Queen Xiyao, and spontaneously search for suspicious people and report to the court.
It must be said that for six thousand years, under the rule of Empress Xiyao, creatures of all races have supported her.
"Over the years, Empress Xiyao has spent a lot of effort to win over the hearts of the people, and so many people are willing to support her."
In the Palace of the Heavenly King of the Rebellion, Jun Fan, dressed in blue, was quietly drinking tea in the courtyard.
After hearing many rumors from the outside world during this period, his face seemed very calm.
But what surprised him a little was that the assassination of Empress Xiyao actually made many creatures in the demon world angry, rather than ecstatic.
In his opinion, this can only mean that Empress Xiyao has indeed spent a lot of thought and means to win over the hearts of the people.
The demon race is cold-hearted. Many times, even if their relatives have accidents, they will appear very indifferent and indifferent.
Situations like this are really rare.
"There is no news about Uncle Ye yet. According to the news from my father, Uncle Ye should have escaped from Gu Changge."
"Gu Changge said this himself...but why hasn't Uncle Ye contacted me until now?"
Jun Fan frowned tightly, feeling a little uneasy.
Uncle Ye is his biggest support now, and he also has the Xuanyang Heavenly Sword given by him. It is impossible for an accident to happen.
He also doesn't believe that Uncle Ye will abandon him and run away.
"Maybe Uncle Ye is injured and is recovering somewhere now. I don't need to make a fuss."
Thinking so, Jun Fan began to fall into deep thought. In his opinion, the next plan is the top priority.
If he just gives up revenge on Queen Xiyao, he will not be willing.
During this period, Queen Xiyao sent people everywhere to search for his whereabouts. According to Qingzhu's whereabouts, the scope of the search was narrowed to the Black and White Academy.
This is not good news for Jun Fan.
Because in this way, he will be found sooner or later, and he always feels that Gu Changge seems to know something.
Later, he thought carefully that when Gu Changge called him Jun Bufan on the top of the Holy Mountain, it might be a test.
Although Queen Xiyao did not think much about his reaction at that time, it was hard to guarantee that she would not think too much afterwards.
"This is the only flaw I have left at present, but unless Xiyao searches my soul, she will never know my identity."
Jun Fan was still very relieved about this.
As the third son of the King of Rebellion, his identity was extremely glorious, not to mention that this time when Queen Xiyao was attacked, he and his father fought bravely and made contributions.
If Queen Xiyao searched his soul because she suspected him, it would definitely chill many people including his father.
So in order to take the overall situation into consideration, Queen Xiyao would not attack him even if she guessed his identity before there was sufficient evidence.
"I don't know when my father said that an old friend would come to give me something."
Jun Fan paced in the courtyard.
At that time, his father's subordinates were not only Uncle Ye.
Therefore, during this period of time, he still needs to find that group of people based on his backup plan.
In the palace, the poison that Empress Xiyao was poisoned with has been almost resolved.
She sat in the first seat, still processing some memorials, but there were only three female officials around her.
"Did you gain anything?"
She asked lightly while flipping through the memorials.
"Your Majesty, all the young geniuses in the Black and White Academy who had contact with Qingzhu have now been identified."
Qinglan reported respectfully.
"Really? Did Qingzhu have any contact with the elders at that time, or just the younger generation?"
Empress Xiyao nodded and continued to ask, frowning at the same time, and the words that Gu Changge said that night rang in her mind.
Even if she knew who Jun Bufan was now, she had no idea where to start.
This was Gu Changge's original words at that time.
Empress Xiyao didn't know what it meant at the time, but guessed that Gu Changge might have a target in mind, but didn't tell her.
In response to this matter, she began a large-scale search, starting with the creatures near the Holy Mountain that day, and finally locked the scope to the Black and White Academy.
So now the biggest suspect is among the younger generation of the demon world today.
These people were all those she said in front of Gu Changge that she could trust.
In the end, the suspect was among them, which had to be said to be ironic.
This reminded her of what Gu Changge said at the time, naive.
"Among the people who have been confirmed, there are no elders of the older generation, because Qingzhu went to the Black and White Academy with your instructions at that time, and the elders of the Black and White Academy didn't know where she met with whom." Qinglan replied respectfully.
Queen Xiyao nodded, waved her jade hand and said: "In that case, then investigate all the geniuses who have been in contact with you. I don't believe there are no flaws."
"By the way, give me the list of the geniuses who have had the most contact with Qingzhu."
She planned to see who they were in person.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Soon, Qinglan handed over a list, which clearly listed all the geniuses of the Black and White Academy.
Some names were specially marked.
"Song Youwei, Luo Tian, Ye Geng, Jun Fan, Chen Xiao..."
She whispered these names, and her eyes narrowed, flashing with danger.
After experiencing Qingzhu's betrayal, she did learn a lot.
All the geniuses in front of her were people she knew well. They were even ranked in the top ten of the Tianjiao Banquet. They were dazzling and fought bravely with many assassins and made contributions.
Before, she would not have doubted them at all.
But now, in her opinion, these people were the most suspicious, even Song Youwei, a woman, was the same in her opinion.
"Be on guard against others. He said this. Just like him, he will never fully trust anyone..."
"What I saw was not the surface they showed."
Empress Xiyao sighed slightly, and then ordered, saying: "Keep an eye on these people's movements. No matter what they do, they must report to me as soon as possible."
"Yes." Qinglan received the order and retreated quickly.
Then, Empress Xiyao fell into deep thought.
Since the suspects are among these people, the families behind them must also be paid attention to.
Among them is even the family of her teacher Taifu, the most capable subordinate, the King of Rebellion, and the Marshal of the State, who controls the most troops.
If the problem occurs to the offspring of the three of them, it will be difficult to deal with. No matter who is involved, it will be a serious matter, involving many people.
"So this is what he meant. Even if I know who Jun Bufan is, I can't do it. Unless I can produce complete evidence."
At this time, she remembered what Gu Changge said, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was a little self-deprecating.
"By the way, so, the words he said at the top of the holy mountain at that time should also have a deeper meaning... Jun Fan, Jun Bufan? Is there really a problem..."
"Jun Fan's performance at that time is indeed a bit strange now."
Queen Xiyao frowned, thinking of this matter, she did not doubt it at the time.
But now thinking about it, maybe this is a flaw.
"Did he say it casually, or did he know something?"
Queen Xiyao couldn't help rubbing her brows, feeling a headache.
In her opinion now, Gu Changge's methods are no longer just mysterious, but Gu Changge never reveals too much about what she wants to know.
Just when Empress Xiyao locked her suspicion on many young geniuses.
On the other side, Bai Lian'er, who had been followed by Gu Changge, finally got news.
"Sir, according to your instructions, we have been patrolling near the Peaceful Heavenly King's Palace for some time, and finally found a very suspicious man and woman. They look no different from ordinary herbal farmers. They come every day with baskets filled with some simple herbs and set up stalls near the Peaceful Heavenly King's Palace."
"But the woman among the two has a very strong sense of perception. As long as you step within a hundred steps of her, she will notice it. So we dare not alert the snake. And from the appearance, she seems to be in disguise, which looks very suspicious."
In the palace, the fragrance of tea is lingering and the mist is lingering. Tian Ze stands behind Gu Changge and says respectfully.
Hearing this, Gu Changge put down the chess piece in his hand, smiled and said: "Well done, after waiting for so long, the fish finally took the bait."
"It's worth it that I put this bait for so long."
He knew that in the Holy Mountain, Bai Lian'er must have known Jun Bufan's true identity.
So during this period of time, she would definitely show up and plan to meet him to complete the task assigned by her father.
And he only needs to have someone keep an eye on him nearby, and he can wait for Bai Lian'er to fall into the trap.
After saying that, Gu Changge planned to get up and go to collect the net.
This time he didn't believe that Bai Lian'er could slip away as easily as she did last time in the ancient city of Beize.
Seeing this, Jiang Luoshen on the opposite side said with some dissatisfaction: "Can't you accompany me to finish the game first?"
"You can't win anyway, so why bother yourself."
Gu Changge said casually, walked past her, and had no intention of continuing to play chess with her.
During this period, Jiang Luoshen was submissive and gradually got used to it.
However, in front of outsiders, she was still the high and mighty, cold and noble Taixu Divine Princess, the future Taixu Divine Emperor.
"No, even if you lose, you have to accompany me to finish the game."
Jiang Luoshen turned his head and looked at her, very dissatisfied. He finally saw the hope of winning Gu Changge, so he naturally didn't want to let him go at this time.
Gu Changge suddenly smiled and said: "Who gave you the courage to talk to me like this, have you been too good to you these days?"
Hearing this, Jiang Luoshen snorted coldly and didn't continue to pester him.
During this period of time, she knew Gu Changge very well. When she needed her, she would say all kinds of sweet words to her. When she didn't need her, she wanted to kick her away.
Soon, Gu Changge led many powerful people to the area where the Peaceful Heavenly King's Palace was located. The imperial capital of the demon world was very large, covering nearly a million miles.
The Peaceful Heavenly King's Palace was located in the east.
It was a magnificent and imposing palace complex. From a distance, it looked magnificent.
Many array patterns intertwined, and colorful clouds flowed, as if a heavenly palace was located on earth.
…
To the west of the gate of the Peaceful Heavenly King's Palace was an extremely spacious street.
The palaces and pavilions on both sides were extremely tall, surrounded by mist, vague and blurred, and looked magnificent.
Many shops, restaurants, and gambling stone shops were located here, which seemed quite lively, with all cultivators and creatures coming and going.
"Sister Lian'er, we have been waiting here for five days. How long do we have to wait here?"
At this moment, on a simple stall, a man and a woman are selling some simple medicinal herbs, such as Huangjing, Poria, Gastrodia, ginseng, etc., which are still stained with mud and look very fresh.
The man who was talking had a sallow face, a thin body, and a malnourished look. He was whispering something to the woman next to him.
The woman looked very cold, and only replied two out of ten sentences to the man.
But her eyes would look in the direction of the Peaceful Heavenly King's Palace from time to time, as if she was paying attention to something.
Although she was wearing hemp clothes, she could not hide her amazing charm.
Many monks or creatures passing by could not help but look at her, and then they were disgusted and almost vomited.
Because the woman was really ugly, not only did she have a big black spot on her face, but her eyes were also one big and one small, and her nose was crooked.
Such a look, not to say scary, but almost.
It was for this reason that their stall was deserted and had few customers.
"Wait a minute. The demon world is not peaceful these days. If we go there rashly, it will definitely arouse Xiyao's suspicion and cause a lot of unnecessary trouble."
The woman said indifferently, her tone was very cold.
The two were Bai Lian'er and Bai Hua, who left the vicinity of the Holy Mountain and then temporarily lived in the imperial capital.
After seeing Jun Bufan's failed assassination of Queen Xiyao, the two quietly left the Black and White Academy in secret, and did not attract anyone's attention.
After discussing for a while, they decided to give the brocade bag to Jun Bufan as Bai Kun requested.
However, the demon world is in chaos now, and there is unrest everywhere.
So the two planned to wait and see outside the Palace of the Heavenly King of the Rebellion, and find a suitable time to meet Jun Bufan and give him the things.
Hearing Bai Lian'er's words, Bai Hua also nodded.
After arriving in the demon world, Bai Lian'er was in charge of many things, and he was only responsible for divination and deduction occasionally.
"Sister Lian'er, look to the east, that's Gu...Gu Changge!"
"Why is he here?"
At this moment, Bai Hua trembled slightly, and a voice with great fear sounded, causing Bai Lian'er, who had been staring at the Palace of the Heavenly King of the Rebellion, to retract her sight and look in the direction Bai Hua was looking at.
I saw a man in black clothes, tall and slender, as brilliant as a young god, surrounded by many powerful people.
All the cultivators and creatures near the street were horrified and retreated, not daring to block the road.
Bai Lian'er couldn't help but shrink her pupils.
"What should I do, Sister Lian'er, how could Gu Changge suddenly appear here?"
Bai Hua's voice contained uncontrollable fear and trembling.
In this world, the person he fears the most and does not want to see the most is definitely Gu Changge.
"Don't worry, calm down first, don't show any abnormality."
"Gu Changge appeared here, it is very likely that he intends to go to Pingluan Tianwang Mansion to investigate, it has nothing to do with us, don't be nervous, scare yourself."
Bai Lian'er quickly calmed down and spoke calmly.
Over the years, she has been in charge of Chunfeng Biyulou and lived in seclusion behind the scenes. She has seen all kinds of storms and waves, and her state of mind is very strong.
In her opinion, Gu Changge could not know that she was here.
So it is very likely that he is just passing by here and will eventually go to Pingluan Tianwang Mansion. .
