Chapter 270 Princess Zishuang's Ambition

After a moment, she sighed softly and said: "Gu Sheng, you can always see through my mind. Yes, I do want the throne. However, I also know the difficulties and risks involved."

Gu Sheng nodded and said: "Princess, the battle for the throne has always been bloody. Once it fails, it will be doomed. Do you really want to take this risk?"

Princess Zishuang was silent for a moment, then raised her head, with a firm light shining in her eyes.

She said: "Gu Sheng, I know you have the ability to help me. As long as you are willing to help me, I am willing to leave the future of Liang Country in your hands."

Gu Sheng's heart trembled. He knew that this was the princess's attempt to test and win over him.

He took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Princess, I don't have much interest in power.

I only want to protect the peace of this land and the people I cherish. As for the battle for the throne, I'm afraid I can't help. "

When Princess Zishuang heard this, a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

But she quickly regained her composure and said with a smile: "Gu Sheng, you are indeed a principled person.

Forget it, let me think about it again. However, you will always be the pillar of our Liang Kingdom. I hope you can always stay by my side and help me govern the world. "

Gu Sheng cupped his hands and said: "Princess, don't worry, I will do my best to serve Liang Guo."

The two understood each other, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding.

Gu Sheng knew in his heart that things in this world were never that simple.

The night is like water, and the moonlight shines in the courtyard, adding a bit of mystery to this quiet night.

Gu Sheng and Shangguan Yudie sat side by side at the stone table. Their shadows stretched long on the ground, as if they were also telling their thoughts.

Gu Sheng took a deep breath and looked at Shangguan Yudie with burning eyes, as if he wanted to see through her heart.

He was silent for a moment and finally said: "Yudie, you are my beloved now, but there are some things I have to tell you clearly."

When Shangguan Yudie heard this, her heart tightened, but she still remained calm and smiled softly:

"Young Master, it's okay to say whatever you want. Yu Die knows everything he knows and will tell you everything he wants to say."

Gu Sheng nodded and said in a deep voice, "Are you the spy sent by the princess?"

There was a hint of seriousness and doubt in his tone.

Shangguan Yudie's face changed slightly when she heard this, but she quickly regained her composure.

She looked at Gu Sheng, with a flash of complicated emotions in her eyes, and said, "If I say no, will Young Master believe me?"

Gu Sheng didn't speak, just looked at her quietly, as if waiting for her answer.

Upon seeing this, Shangguan Yudie couldn't help but feel an inexplicable emotion in her heart.

She knew that she had to be honest to win Gu Sheng's trust.

So, she took a deep breath and said slowly

: "Sir, I am indeed someone close to the princess, but I am not her spy. The reason why I follow the princess is because she saved my life. I have nothing to repay, I can only do my best to serve her."

When Gu Sheng heard this, his heart moved.

He looked into Shangguan Yudie's clear eyes and seemed to see the sincerity and determination in her heart.

He gently held her hand and said: "Yudie, I believe you. But you have to know that I am in this position and have to be careful everywhere. I hope you can understand."

Shangguan Yudie felt the warmth of Gu Sheng's palms, and a warmth surged in her heart.

She nodded and said: "Don't worry, sir, I will use my actions to prove my loyalty."

The two looked at each other, as if at this moment, their hearts were tightly connected.

Gu Sheng gently held Shangguan Yudie's shoulders and hugged her into his arms. Shangguan Yudie also leaned on his chest, feeling his heartbeat and warmth.

Under the moonlight, the two figures hugged each other closely, like a beautiful picture.

Their hearts are full of expectations for the future and trust in each other, and all of this will become a solid foundation for them to face the storms of the future together.

After the smoke of the war to destroy Chu dissipated, Gu Xiaojiang was named a general for his outstanding military exploits and became famous all over the world. He cared about his hometown and returned to Canghe County to visit relatives with his best friend Gu Sheng. His return home in fine clothes naturally attracted cheers.

Outside Gujiazhuang, a red carpet was spread on the ground, drums and music were playing, and the villagers had been waiting for a long time.

Gu Xiaojiang and Gu Sheng dismounted their horses and walked into the village. For a while, laughter and blessings could be heard one after another.

"General Gu, Lord Gu, you are back!"

An old man came forward excitedly, with tears in his eyes.

Gu Xiaojiang and Gu Sheng hurriedly stepped forward to support the old man and said with a smile: "Uncle Li, I haven't seen you for many years, but you are still so energetic."

While everyone was busy, the sound of horse hooves was heard, and a gorgeous carriage was slowly approaching.

The car curtain was raised, and a middle-aged man in official uniform stepped out of the car. It was the former County Magistrate Liu, who is now the prefect of Canghai Prefecture.

"General Gu, Lord Gu, it's been a long time!" Magistrate Liu stepped forward, cupped his hands and smiled.

Gu Xiaojiang and Gu Sheng also hurriedly returned the gift. Gu Xiaojiang smiled and said, "Mr. Liu, I haven't seen you for many years. You are now the magistrate of Canghai Prefecture. It is really gratifying."

Magistrate Liu waved his hand and said modestly: "No, no, compared to General Gu's illustrious military exploits, my achievements are insignificant. It is my great fortune to see these two heroes return today."

Gu Sheng said with a smile: "Mr. Liu is overly praised. We have only done a little bit. The main reason we came back this time is to visit our relatives and friends in our hometown."

Magistrate Liu nodded and said with a smile: "It should be so, it should be so. There are so many talented people in Gujiazhuang, it is really a blessing for our Canghai Mansion."

After a round of greetings, Prefect Liu invited Gu Xiaojiang and Gu Sheng to the government office for a chat.

In Gujiazhuang, the villagers continued to gather together to celebrate this rare festive moment.

In the government office, Prefect Liu hosted a banquet for Gu Xiaojiang and Gu Sheng, during which they talked about the various experiences of the war to destroy Chu and the development and changes of Canghai Prefecture in recent years.

Gu Xiaojiang and Gu Sheng also shared their cultivation experience and what they saw and heard, and the atmosphere was harmonious and warm.

During the banquet, Prefect Liu suddenly mentioned: "General Gu, I heard that you recently got a magic weapon. I wonder if you can let me see it?"

Gu Xiaojiang smiled slightly and took out a treasure with flowing light from his arms. It was the magic weapon he got in the war to destroy Chu.

Seeing this, Prefect Liu flashed a trace of surprise in his eyes and praised it repeatedly.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Gu Xiaojiang and Gu Sheng said goodbye to Prefect Liu and prepared to return to Gujiazhuang to continue to gather with relatives and friends.

Prefect Liu personally escorted the two out of the mansion and agreed to meet again in the future.

Gu Xiaojiang and Gu Sheng returned to Gujiazhuang, where the villagers were still enthusiastic and full of laughter.

In this joyful atmosphere, Gu Xiaojiang and Gu Sheng felt the warmth of their hometown and the power of family affection, and their hearts were filled with satisfaction and happiness.

As night fell, the lights in Gujiazhuang were bright, and the lively atmosphere of celebration continued to heat up amid laughter.

Behind this jubilation, the faces of the clan leader and several elders seemed a little embarrassed and uneasy.

At the beginning, they forced the talented Gu Sheng away for the benefit of the family, causing Gujiazhuang to lose a great talent and suffer heavy losses.

Now, seeing Gu Sheng return gloriously as a general, they had to put down their old faces and come over to show their goodwill.

"Lord Gu Sheng, you are a generous man. We were wrong in the past. Please forgive us."

The clan leader took the lead and said sincerely.

Gu Sheng smiled indifferently, revealing a bit of disdain in his eyes.

He was too lazy to argue with these people about the past grievances, and only hoped that Gujiazhuang could develop harmoniously.

"Let the past go, and we still have to look forward."

Gu Sheng said, revealing a kind of free and open-mindedness in his tone.

However, these clan leaders and elders couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

They knew Gu Sheng's talent and strength, and even more so his mind and wisdom.

Now, although they showed goodwill to Gu Sheng on the surface, they hid a lot of calculations and calculations in their hearts.

After sending these clan leaders and elders away, Gu Sheng was finally able to reunite with Gu Daniu's family.

Although this family had no blood relationship with him, in his heart, it was better than blood relationship. They were a family that grew up together, experienced ups and downs together, and witnessed each other's growth and transformation together.

"A Sheng, you are finally back!" Gu Daniu said excitedly, with tears in his eyes.

Gu Sheng smiled and patted Gu Daniu on the shoulder, saying, "Yes, I'm back. You've worked hard all these years."

Since eating the wolf meat, Gu Daniu and his wife have been able to practice.

Although their cultivation is not high, they have the ability to protect themselves in Canghe County.

Gu Wan has grown rapidly in recent years and has become a big man. His cultivation has reached the bronze bone realm, and he is considered a master in Canghe County.

"Ah Sheng, look at how promising Wan'er is now, it's all thanks to you!" Gu Daniu's wife said gratefully.

Gu Sheng smiled and shook his head, saying, "This is all his own efforts, I just provided some help."

Gu Wan stood aside, his face full of pride and joy.

He knew that his growth was inseparable from Gu Sheng's cultivation and guidance.

Now, he has become a real master who can bring glory and dignity to the family.

"Ah Sheng, I won't let you down." Gu Wan said firmly.

Gu Sheng nodded, his eyes revealing relief and expectation.

He knew that Gu Wan had unlimited potential and a future. As long as he continued to work hard, he would surely become a powerful man.

As the night deepened, the celebration in Gujiazhuang continued.

The reunion of Gu Sheng and Gu Daniu's family also became the most heartwarming and touching scene of the celebration.

The night was as dark as ink, with stars dotted everywhere, but the ruins of the Chu Palace were covered with dark clouds.

Although the defeated Chu Emperor Chu Tianshu had lost his former glory, his eyes still flickered with unwilling flames.

"As long as I, Chu Tianshu, am still alive, I will never let Chu perish in my hands!"

He roared, his voice full of determination.

Beside him, a middle-aged man in a red robe with a sinister face was the leader of the Zoroastrianism, the Supreme of the Fire Domain. He smiled slightly, as if everything was under control.

"Chu Tianshu, I, the Fire Worship Cult, understand your ambition best.

As long as you are willing to offer the wealth of Chu and share the world with my sect in the future, I will naturally help you restore your country."

A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Chu Tianshu's eyes, and he nodded in agreement.

Since then, the power of the Fire Worship Cult has expanded rapidly in the territory of Chu. They recruit warriors everywhere with great momentum.

And all this was silently watched by one person-Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng stood on the top of a mountain, looking far away in the direction of the Chu Palace.

He was wearing a green shirt, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and his temperament was extraordinary. His cultivation had reached the peak of the Golden Bone Realm, and the ancient holy body was shining with golden light, like an undefeated god of war.

"Fire Worship Cult, Chu Tianshu, you are going to push the people into the abyss."

Gu Sheng sighed lightly, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

Princess Zishuang stood beside him, also worried.

She knew Gu Sheng's strength, but she also knew how powerful Zoroastrianism was.

"Gu Sheng, what should we do? Chu Tianshu has gone crazy. He is willing to take advantage of the tiger to restore his country."

Gu Sheng took a deep breath, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.

"Strength is the key to solving all problems. Princess, I must seize the time to practice and improve my strength."

Princess Zishuang nodded, and a trace of determination flashed in her eyes. She knew that Gu Sheng would never let her down.

Gu Sheng turned and left, leaving behind a golden back.

He knew that the next few days would be the most difficult journey in his life.

But he also believed that as long as he was strong enough, he would be able to protect everything he cherished.

And in every corner of Chu, the discussion about Zoroastrianism became more and more intense.

People were both afraid and curious about what kind of changes this mysterious sect would bring.

As the night deepened, Gu Sheng sat cross-legged and began to practice.

His figure became more and more firm in the moonlight, like an immortal mountain guarding this land.

Princess Zishuang held the small dragon ball in her hand and flicked it with her jade fingers. The ball seemed to have life, trembling slightly and emitting a faint light.

She stared at the thumb-sized dragon ball, with a firm light in her eyes.

"Gu Sheng, what do you think is the difference between this dragon ball and the last four?"

Princess Zishuang's voice was crisp and calm, as if it could penetrate people's hearts.

Gu Sheng nodded slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said:

"Princess, although the aura of this dragon ball is similar to the previous four, it seems to be purer. I guess there must be other dragon balls in the territory of Chu."

Princess Zishuang sighed lightly, revealing a trace of worry between her eyebrows: "The dragon ball that Chu Xingchen sacrificed last time was so powerful that it was shocking. I am worried that the remnants of Chu are still secretly planning to restore the country."

A trace of cold light flashed in Gu Sheng's eyes:

"Princess, don't worry, as long as we find the remaining dragon balls, Chu will no longer have the power to restore the country."

At this moment, a spy from the Skynet organization He hurried over, knelt in front of Princess Zishuang, and reported respectfully:

"Princess, Jiang Yunfei and Lu Biluo have found the traces of Chu Xingchen and others. They are searching for dragon balls in a secret place."

Princess Zishuang heard this, and a hint of joy flashed in her eyes:

"Okay! Notify Jiang Yunfei and Lu Biluo immediately and let them lead the way. We will go there in person."

Gu Sheng also stood up, with a gleam of expectation in his eyes:

"Finally, there will be action. Princess, let's set off now."

The group quickly left the palace and rushed in the direction of Jiang Yunfei and Lu Biluo.

Soon after, they came to a valley shrouded in thick fog.

Jiang Yunfei and Lu Biluo had been waiting here for a long time. Seeing Princess Zishuang and Gu Sheng coming, they hurried forward to salute. (End of this chapter)
