Leng Shiqi was even more puzzled. Since Mo Huishou was the princess of Zhu Lu Country, why would she run to the West Desolate Province?
She even came up with the name of the great thief Mo Huishou?
But Leng Shiqi wasn't very clear about the members of the royal family of Zhu Lu Country. He only knew that the King indeed had a daughter, but he didn't know what her name was.
Leng Shiqi suppressed the curiosity in his heart and continued to listen.
"Your Highness, what time is it now? Are you still bothered about your identity and face?
Forgive me for speaking bluntly, but no matter which faction ascends the throne, you and Princess Consort will definitely not have a good ending!
Now the only way out and support is the Dark Thunder Guards! "
Mo Huishou was silent for a while before she spoke. But this time, her voice sounded a little sorrowful. "How could I not know what you said?
But Imperial Mother and I are weak. We don't have military power nor the support of the ministers in the court. How can we fight with the two factions? The Dark Thunder Guards will definitely not choose us.
Furthermore, the Dark Thunder Guards are already suspected of assassinating Imperial Father. They can't even protect themselves, so what ability do they have to help us? "
"Your Highness, don't belittle yourself. At least some of the clan relatives will support you.
In addition, Your Highness, don't underestimate the Dark Thunder Guards. Those people will definitely not sit still and wait for death.
At this time, they will definitely be eager to take the initiative. As long as Princess Consort can help them out of their current predicament, it will be equivalent to sending charcoal in snowy weather. It will be easy to rope them in!
Furthermore, Your Highness often goes to the West Desolate Province. You should know what the Dark Thunder Guards are best at? "
Mo Huishou muttered, "Dark Thunder Guards are best at … investigation!"
"That's right. The death of His Majesty has always been a mystery. Many people in the court think that they must first investigate the cause of death of the King and find the murderer who murdered the King!
So the two Princes of the pro-war faction were so anxious to start a conflict with the Dark Thunder Guards. If Princess Consort can invite the Dark Thunder Guards to help us investigate the King's death and find the murderer, not only can it help them clear their grievances, it can also help us win over many people's support! "
"This … but the Dark Thunder Guards themselves are suspected of murdering Imperial Father. The two factions will never agree to let them investigate the cause of Imperial Father's death.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. As long as Her Highness is willing to step in, I will have a way."
"Sigh, alright, that's all we can do now. I'll have to trouble you then, Senior Brother."
"Your Highness is too polite. It is my honor to be of service to Your Highness."
After that, the two left the slum separately. Leng Shiqi thought for a while.
Judging from the conversation between the two, it seemed that the Princess Consort's faction was preparing to intervene in the fight for the throne, and they were also planning to rope in the Dark Thunder Guards.
This was also reasonable. Actually, the Princess Consort's bloodline was not without hope.
From the point of view of Yu Ruifeng and the Dark Thunder Guards, they didn't want the Pro-War Faction to take over, nor did they want the Pro-Peace Faction to take over.
After all, it could be said that the peacemakers had been plotting against the Dark Thunder Guards from the beginning to the end!
Therefore, the Princess Consort's bloodline was the most suitable!
However, Leng Shiqi was very interested in Mo Huishou and the identity of this "Senior Brother" that she mentioned.
He practiced the "Thousand Gu Spirit Devouring Skill". When he came to Zhu Lu Country, he knew that this skill was a forbidden skill of the Gu God Sect, and only the core disciples of the Gu God Sect were qualified to practice it.
Therefore, Mo Huishou must be a member of the Gu God Sect, and so should that "Senior Brother".
But this was interesting.
Logically speaking, Mo Huishou should belong to the Pro-Peace Faction, but now she wanted to take over the throne by herself.
Not only that, what made Leng Shiqi more curious was why Mo Huishou, as the Princess of Zhu Lu Country, would join the Gu God Sect?
There might be many unknown secrets hidden in it.
Although he had obtained some useful information from this trip, it also raised more questions.
Leng Shiqi shook his head. He didn't want to delve into the inside story of the royal family of Zhu Lu Country. The most important thing now was to inquire more information, so that he could have some initiative.
Next, he wandered in the mansions of various ministers in Yunwu City.
He kept a respectful distance from all the masters of Gang Spirit Realm in the mansion. In this way, he didn't return to his room until dawn.
This night, he didn't gain much, but it wasn't little either.
At least he had learned the cause of the king's death!
The king's death was really strange. Although his health was not good, especially recently, it was getting worse and worse. But under the treatment of many imperial doctors, he could have held on for another two or three years.
But just last night, he suddenly died!
Last night, the king was still reading the memorials as usual. Suddenly, he fell on the table weakly and died.
After examination, there was no wound on the king's body, and there was no sign of poisoning in his body. He died so strangely!
Now, people of the two factions were trying hard to find the cause of the king's death and catch the king's assassin. Whoever could solve this problem would have a great advantage in fighting for the throne.
But at present, the only suspect was the Dark Thunder Guard!
Because there was a witness in the Dark Thunder Guard, Guan Feihong.
Thinking of Guan Feihong, Leng Shiqi couldn't help touching his chin.
Guan Feihong could be said to be a knife of the pro-peace faction. But after Leng Shiqi saw through the Mind-controlling Insect, he became a knife of the pro-war faction and the Dark Thunder Guard.
Guan Feihong was now a spy on three sides.
But Leng Shiqi was more concerned about why he was implanted with the Mind-controlling Insect.
According to Prince Heli, Guan Feihong was arrested near the city gate. Leng Shiqi remembered that he didn't find Guan Feihong even when he rolled his eyes, which meant that Guan Feihong probably left Yunwu City.
And he was implanted with the Mind-controlling Insect, so it was very likely that he went to the Gu God Sect!
The Gu God Sect was located on the Gu God Peak dozens of miles away from Yunwu City.
Before, Leng Shiqi had always suspected that Guan Feihong seemed to have something to do with the Gu God Sect. Now it seemed that it was true.
He probably wanted to go to the Gu God Sect to inquire about information, but he was discovered. He was also recognized as a Dark Thunder Guard, so he was implanted with the Mind-controlling Insect to point out the Dark Thunder Guard.
"It seems that I still have to find a chance to bring Guan Feihong back." Leng Shiqi murmured.
Guan Feihong must still have secrets that ordinary people didn't know, but he was now imprisoned in the prince's mansion. There were not only spirit cultivators in the Gang Spirit Realm, but also masters of the Oneness of Heaven and Men Realm!
Leng Shiqi didn't dare to sneak in there, so this matter had to be considered in the long run.
Just as he was thinking about how to contact Guan Feihong, Yu Ruifeng asked someone to summon him.
As soon as he saw Yu Ruifeng, he said something surprising. "Last night, the leader of the Gu God Sect, Sang Hetong, came to see me."
