Chapter 403-1: The heart of defending people is indispensable, After waiting for a long time the fish is finally hooked (1)
"Are people like you worth entrusting with sincerity?" Empress Xi Yao was a little lazy, but she was murmuring more often.
Gu Changge stroked her hair and smiled, "Why not?"
"But the more I know you, the more uneasy I feel. Sometimes I really want to know if you"re only in your twenties?" Empress Xi Yao didn"t dwell too much on this issue but sighed slightly.
If Empress Xi Yao really needed someone to rely on now, there was no better choice than Gu Changge.
Under this premise, Gu Changge intended to use her to intervene in the Demon World, which was naturally a lot more logical.
Of course, Empress Xi Yao also knew very well that Gu Changge would give her necessary support at critical times.
As for the rest of the matters, he would not be bothered by it. It sounded more like a deal.
Gu Changge"s approach was not to say that he was selfish to the extreme, but he was definitely rational to the extreme, and would not change any of his actions because of personal emotions.
So she didn"t expect him to have the slightest emotion in it. This made Empress Xi Yao still a little disappointed.
For a while, the entire Demon World was in a panic because of the attack on Empress Xi Yao. Almost every day, one could see many creatures patrolling near the imperial city.
All the suspects were intercepted and checked repeatedly. If there was any abnormality, they would be immediately imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison.
The a.s.sa.s.sination of the Empress affected the minds of many creatures in the Demon World.
The rest of the domains were also shaken. In many places, there were even big demons who heard about this and felt that it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. So they began to gather forces in order to resist.
The huge Demon World was no longer as peaceful and stable as it used to be.
Many people in the Demon World hated those traitors who a.s.sa.s.sinated Empress Xi Yao, and they spontaneously searched for suspicious people and reported them to the court.
He had to say that under the rule of Empress Xi Yao for six thousand years, creatures of all ethnic groups supported her a lot.
"Over the years, Empress Xi Yao has been winning people"s hearts, but she has spent a lot of thought, so many people are willing to support her."
Inside the Heavenly King"s Mansion, Jun Fan, dressed in blue, was quietly drinking tea in the courtyard.
Hearing the many rumors from the outside world during this period, his face seemed very calm.
It just made him feel a little surprised that the a.s.sa.s.sination of Empress Xi Yao actually made many creatures in the Demon World angry, not ecstatic.
In his opinion, this could only show that Empress Xi Yao had indeed spent a lot of thought and method in winning over people"s hearts.
The demons had a cold temperament, and many times even if their relatives had an accident, they would appear very indifferent.
It was really rare to be angry like this.
"I haven"t heard any news from Uncle Ye yet. According to the news, Uncle Ye should have escaped from Gu Changge"s hands. This is also what Gu Changge said… but why hasn"t Uncle Ye contacted me until now?"
Jun Fan frowned tightly, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.
Uncle Ye was his biggest reliance and with the Xuan Yang Heavenly Sword, it was logically impossible for an accident to occur. He also didn"t believe that Uncle Ye would abandon him and run away.
"Maybe Uncle Ye was injured, and now he is recovering from an injury somewhere, so I don"t have to make a fuss."
Jun Fan thought and began to fall into contemplation. In his opinion, the next plan was the top priority. If he just gave up his revenge against Empress Xi Yao, he would not be reconciled.
During this time, Empress Xi Yao sent people to look for his traces. According to Qingzhu"s whereabouts, the scope of the investigation was narrowed down to the Black and White Academy.
This was not good news for Jun Fan. Because of this, sooner or later, he would be found, and he always felt that Gu Changge knew something.
Later, he thought about it carefully. At the top of the sacred mountain, Gu Changge called him Jun Bufan, maybe it was a temptation.
Although Empress Xi Yao didn"t think too much of his reaction at that time, it was difficult to guarantee that she would not think too much later.
"This is the only flaw I have left, but unless Xi Yao searches for my soul, she will never know my ident.i.ty."
Regarding this, Jun Fan was still very relieved.
As the third son of the Heavenly King of Peace and Chaos, his ident.i.ty was extremely ill.u.s.trious, not to mention that this time when Empress Xi Yao was attacked, he and his father fought bravely to kill their enemy and made great contributions.
If Empress Xi Yao searched his soul because she suspects him, it would definitely make many people, including his father, feel chilled.
In order to take care of the overall situation, Empress Xi Yao would not be able to attack him even if she guessed his ident.i.ty without sufficient evidence.
"My father said at the time that some old people would come to give me something, and I don"t know when it will be."
Jun Fan paced up in the courtyard. At that time, his father"s subordinates were not only Uncle Ye. During this time, he still needed to find a group of people based on his backhand.
In the palace, the poison from Empress Xi Yao had almost been resolved. She sat in the top place and was still dealing with some memorials, but there were only three female officials beside her.
"Did you get something?" She asked lightly while flipping through the memorial.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, all the young geniuses in the Black and White Academy who have been in contact with Qingzhu have now been identified."
Qinglan respectfully reported.
"Really? Did Qingzhu have contact with the Elders at that time, or was it just the younger generation?"
Empress Xi Yao nodded and continued to ask. At the same time, her eyebrows were wrinkled, and what Gu Changge said that night echoed in her mind.
Even if she now knew who Jun Bufan was, she had no way to take action. These were Gu Changge"s original words at the time.
Empress Xi Yao didn"t know what it meant at the time, she just guessed that Gu Changge might already have a goal in mind, but he didn"t tell her.
In response to this matter, she began a large-scale search, starting with the creatures near the sacred mountain that day, and finally locked the scope in the Black and White Academy.
So now the biggest suspects were among the younger generation in the Demon World today. These were the people she said she could trust in front of Gu Changge.
In the end, the suspect was among them, which was ironic. This reminded her of what Gu Changge said at the time, that she was innocent.
"Among the people who have been identified so far, there are no Elders of the older generation, because when Qingzhu went to the Black and White Academy, she went with your instructions. The Elders of the Black and White Academy did not know where and who she met. " Qing Lan replied respectfully.
Empress Xi Yao nodded and waved her jade hand, "If that"s the case, then investigate all the geniuses you"ve come in contact with, I don"t believe there will not be any flaws. By the way, give me the list of geniuses who have had the most contact with Qingzhu."
She intended to see for herself who they were.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Soon, Qinglan handed over a list, which clearly listed all the geniuses of the black-and-white school.
Some names were specially marked.
"Song Youwei, Luo Tian, Ye Geng, Jun Fan, Chen Xiao…"
She whispered these names softly, her eyes narrowed, and there was a hint of danger. After experiencing Qingzhu"s betrayal, she did gain a lot of memory.
The geniuses in front of her all belong to the existence she knew well, and even ranked in the top ten of this banquet of geniuses, with dazzling rays of light, fighting bravely with many a.s.sa.s.sins and making credit.
Before the change, she would not have doubted at all. But now, in her opinion, these people were the most suspicious, even Song Youwei, who was a woman, looked the same to her.
"It"s essential to be defensive. It"s what he said, just like him, I will never fully trust anyone… What I see is just the surface."
Empress Xi Yao sighed slightly, then ordered to go on, saying, "Keep an eye on these people"s movements, and no matter what they do, you must report to me as soon as possible."
"Yes." Qinglan got the order and stepped back quickly.
Afterward, Empress Xi Yao fell into contemplation.
Since the suspect was among these people, she must also pay attention to the family behind them.
