The sporadic clues formed a flash of light that penetrated the head of the famous detective Gao Gu, allowing him to string everything together and guess the truth.
Gao Gu said with emotion: "I really didn't expect Prince Gumo to have such a scheming plan. He hid it from everyone in the Western Region and made everyone think that he was just a mortal who sang and danced to his heart's content."
This was not just a few days, but had been hidden for several years. During these years, everyone thought that he was just a man who relied on his good skin to make ends meet.
He sings and dances wildly during the day, turns into a shadow assassin at night, and controls a country's huge resources.
When Gao Guru said it, Hu Xiuwu suddenly felt that Hadili's character looked familiar, like a comic he had read before, the bat hiding in the darkness and frightening the evildoers with fear.
He said so much, but Hu Xiuwu didn't respond at all. This surprised Gao Gu, who was the first to break the deadlock:
"Sir, aren't you worried that I will report you to Jingjue?"
Hu Xiuwu smiled slightly, showing the same wise expression as Gao Gu before:
"Will the Zakrama tribe cooperate with the Guidong tribe?"
Gao Gu looked at Hu Xiuwu with wide eyes and surprise. It was the first time that he lost his composure in front of him, and almost failed to maintain his image of a calm and calm counselor who could shake things up.
After a long time, Gao Gucai said with a lonely expression:
"Xiuwu deserves to be from a famous family and has a rich family background. Not many people know about the Zakrama clan in the past."
"Of the great clans that once dominated the Western Regions, now we are the only ones left to survive."
Gao Gu lamented the current sparse situation of the Zakarama tribe, but Hu Xiuwu complained:
Although you are few in number, your inheritance has never been broken. It has continued until two thousand years later, and the last member of the clan has become my sister-in-law.
After only showing his weak side for a moment, Gao Gu covered it with a hard shell again and hid it deep in his heart.
He turned back into the strategizing leader of the Zakrama clan.
Gao Gu said to Hu Xiuwu: "Since you already know our identities, you must have heard about the curse in our clan."
Hu Xiuwu nodded: "Of course, the curse of the ghost cave will cause the person's Yang Qi to drain and his longevity to disappear."
When Hu Xiuwu mentioned the curse of the ghost cave, Gao Gu still had a wave of emotion in his eyes:
"Yes, the ghost cave curse has killed many brothers and sisters in our clan. My brother and parents all died from the ghost cave curse."
"We didn't stand on the opposite side of Jingjue from the beginning."
"After hearing about the emergence of Queen Jingjue back then, my uncle, who took office as the chief of the Zakrama tribe, once brought most of the gold, silver and jewelry that the clan had earned in the past few years to see Queen Jingjue."
"I prayed that she would take pity on us and help us solve the curse, but after Queen Jingjue saw my uncle, she imprisoned him and said that he was a sacrifice to the snake god. Our whole family is the same and we are born with it. The curse is just the mark of the sacrifice. I am not qualified to negotiate terms with her."
"Later, we spent a lot of effort to rescue my uncle, but he stayed near the ghost cave for too long, and by the time we rescued him, it was already too late."
Gao Gu said categorically and with murderous intent: "From then on, I understood that if you want to break the curse, you can't rely on others' charity, but can only rely on robbing it with swords and halberds."
"With the presence of Queen Jingjue, our people will never be able to find a way to lift the curse."
Gao Gu unabashedly revealed his malice towards Queen Jingjue, and then changed his voice and said to Hu Xiuwu:
"So, sir, we share the same problem and are natural allies."
"We should join together to overthrow Jingjue's rule and take what we need."
Hu Xiuwu looked at Gao Gu's determined face, and suddenly realized something in his heart:
"Even without Duo'er and me, you would have been ready to deal with Jing Jue Country, right?"
"That's why you are so anxious to come to the Western Regions. Not only do you want to familiarize Gao Lu with the Western Regions and train successors, you also want to come to the Western Regions in person to study the situation in the Western Regions."
"Sir is my old friend."
A smile appeared on the corner of Gao Gu's mouth, he poured a glass of wine for Hu Xiuwu and said with emotion:
"Yes, as early as the last time I came to the Western Region, I was aware of the tense and delicate relationships among the thirty-six countries in the Western Region. The Jingjue Kingdom claimed to have the most powerful force in the Western Region, and its persecution of the other thirty-six countries in the Western Region was getting deeper and deeper. One day it will force other countries to rebel."
"The current situation in the Western Region is just like the Great Qin in the past. On the surface, it is peaceful, but as long as there is an opportunity, a wave will sweep across the world. The same is true in the Western Region."
Hu Xiuwu understood: "This is the opportunity for Duo'er and me."
"Hahaha, I originally thought that I couldn't wait for this to happen, so I could only leave all this to Gao Lu, but unexpectedly, there was a turn for the better."
Gao Gu looked up to the sky and smiled happily, as if he wanted to clear away the depression that had been suppressed for many years. After he had laughed enough, he corrected Hu Xiuwu's statement:
"No, to be precise, it was Queen Jingjue's reaction that you caused. She is just a powerful woman, and her political methods are far inferior to those of Queen Lu."
Then, he told Hu Xiuwu the reaction of King Zeluo of Qiuci to Queen Jingjue's actions.
Although Hu Xiuwu understood something, there were still things he didn’t understand:
"This is just your lie. King Zeluo of Qiuci will know sooner or later that Chen Duo and I have arrived in Yancheng."
Gao Gu said leisurely: "Lies, no, people's hearts are unpredictable. Queen Jingjue may not have thought so when she gave the order, but after a period of time, she found that it was easier for her own people to rule the thirty-six countries in the Western Region. She What do you think?"
"Zero is a hero. It is because of this possibility that Zeluo will believe my words."
"He may not care about Jingjue's exploitation of Kucha, but if Queen Jingjue snatches control of Kucha from him, he will never agree."
"As long as he has this idea in his mind, your affairs will actually be a help."
"Moreover, I just learned good news from my husband. Prince Gumo turned out to be the murderer of Queen Jingjue! Ha, now we have two powerful countries in the Western Regions on our side."
Gao Gu's face was red, he was dancing and arrogant.
Everyone gets drunk before the wine is drunk.
Hidden for many years, planning for many years, only one person can silently plan. Before this dawn, Gao Gu needs an audience who can speak freely without worrying about leaking the news.
Hu Xiuwu listened carefully to Gao Gu's every word. He seemed to know a secret that had been hidden in the long history, the cause of Queen Jingjue's death.
There is a peerless strategist who is hiding in the darkness and watching her every move, magnifying every loophole she makes, and magnifying a small mistake of losing a horseshoe into an inducement to destroy the empire.
Originally, Hu Xiuwu had been hesitant to tell Gao Gu about Muchen Bead along the way, but he was always worried that it would change history and cause Shirley Yang's life trajectory to change, and she would no longer be able to get to know his eldest brother.
Hu Xiuwu was worried that without Shirley Yang, Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan would have to live alone for the rest of their lives. Hu Xiuwu was worried about his troubled elder brother.
But now it seems that he was worrying too much. Gao Gu had already made his own plan and there was no need for him to intervene. Even without him, Gao Gu could get clues about Muchen Bead.
