Other than these, they also learned poison techniques and Gu arts. Due to their different talents, they were given different degrees of use. For example, the lady who had just died could control the Golden Gu.

Amongst the Gu techniques they learned, the Golden Gu was ranked second, and naturally it was also exceptionally terrifying. But there were a total of five Gu, and after each Gu was formed, they would choose one of their own. They were all intelligent Gu worms, and it would not be excessive to say that they had a portion of intelligence.

"Is she a Gu?" Gu Qing Li looked at the shriveled green corpse in the corner.

"She's not, she can control a Golden Gu, and when necessary, she can order the Gu to attack others, including forcing her companions to commit suicide. But she isn't a Gu, so if she is bitten by the Golden Gu, she will quickly die."

"That Gu Master... You won't die? " Gu Qingli didn't quite understand. She had clearly seen Fang Yanzhu die after the Gu left his body.

This is to say that the person controlling the Gu worm, a Gu, as the name implies, uses the body as a container to raise the Gu, and can control the Gu worm to a large degree. But their master seemed to betray them because he was afraid that the Gu Master would have too much destructive power, so they trained a few other people to control the Gu worms. "When the Gu Master betrayed them, they could make the Gu in the Gu Master's body devour its master.

Gu Qing Li's heart chilled. Their master was truly thoughtful and meticulous. Those who could control things could not raise Gu, and those who could raise Gu could be manipulated by others.

Xiao Yixiu asked, "Was it because she manipulated all the people who committed suicide that they died that night due to the insect poison?"

Zhou Qianxi shook her head, her eyes were filled with fear, "It's not her, she controlled the Golden Gu, and everyone died from the Mysterious Insect Gu. The Mysterious Gu is ranked first among all the Gu we've learned."

Gu Qingli noticed her frightened eyes staring at herself and couldn't help feeling a little confused. She trembled as she said, "You mean …" Is my body the Profound Gu? "The venom of those who died …"

"Yes, it's all the offspring of the mother Gu in your body. That night, I didn't see anyone who could control the profound Gu. Maybe they changed their appearances and are right by your side. "

Xiao Yi Xiu and Gu Qing Li looked at each other, the chilliness rising. This was in accordance with their guesses. There were still people controlling the Profound Gu in the palace, and it was also possible that they were among the people they served.

"However, there are no men who learn Gu arts. The male musicians and the archers of the flamethrowers are part of the organization. "

From the sound of it, they were being supported by a huge and well-organized group of the martial world, which was probably no smaller than the Dark Pavilion.

Zhou Qianxi had not killed many people, and in her memory, the most important person was the former assassin from Dongyang State. A small portion of them were all local officials, both civil and military. And to win over the local wealthy merchants, to seize the secrets of the court and so on.

Their duties to each other were confidential, and they did not inform each other except in the same batch, but it was expected that the rest of the party would be similar to hers. During her actions, some of her partners were eliminated one after another. The so-called elimination meant death.

"Then who is the mastermind behind all of this?"

Zhou Qianxi's expression was a little dazed. She lowered her head and thought for a moment, then said, "The people training us are the four instructors. Above them, there are also the people who are in contact with the higher-ups …" We do not know who the so-called master is. "

Gu Qingli sucked in a breath of cold air. "Then do your instructors know who the master is?"

"I've never told them, but I have a feeling that they don't know either."

They asked a few more questions, but Zhou Qianxi was the only one who knew what was going on. She knew very little about their organization, even about the archers who attacked them at the same time that night, and if they didn't have the chance to work together at the same time, she wouldn't even know them.

As for the matter of suicide after failure, the organization had never had such a secret order. This was the first time she encountered such a large-scale mission, and after failure, all of them were silenced.

"Based on what you said, they were actually silenced. They are not deathsworn, just like Zhou Qianxi, they are not fearless of death."

"If they were Death Soldiers, they wouldn't have all been trained by women."

Compared to men, women were actually easier to neglect in all aspects, lower people's vigilance, more convenient to listen in on news, and more convenient to be spies. On the other hand, it was also easier to be emotional, Fang Yanzhu for example.

They walked out of the secret room and instructed the film guards to give Zhou Qianxi a certain amount of freedom. She didn't have to neglect her daily life, but she had to be strictly guarded.

Xiao Yi Xiu had also instructed her not to talk to Zhou Qianxi, and not to strike up a conversation.

"You're afraid that one of them will contact Zhou Qianxi?"

Xiao Yi Xiu shook his head. "But people always have feelings. A woman like Zhou Qianxi is always trained to bewitch people. It's not impossible for someone to be confused by her words." "Let them supervise each other. It's better not to talk to Zhou Qianxi too much."

"Guess who Zhou Qianxi's master is?"

Xiao Yi Xiu's expression gradually turned serious as he lightly shook his head. He wasn't sure, but he knew that this was a power other than the fourth prince. Moreover … They were rushing towards the throne.

The situation in the imperial government had actually become more and more complicated.

By the time he returned to the Residence of the Prince of Mo, it was already dusk.

The duke of Suifeng was waiting for him at the Feng Zhixuan's entrance, so he hurried over, "Your Royal Highness, Duke Chen has been waiting in the secret room for a long time."

Xiao Yi was slightly surprised. He had actually escaped from Princess Lan Xun and come here?

Gu Qingli was about to follow Xiao Yixiu inside when Suifeng stopped his. "Esteemed wangfei, Prince Chen said he only sees your highness and doesn't see you."

"You even pointed out that you won't see this wangfei?" Gu Qingli widened her eyes in surprise.

Suifeng spread out his arms with a very innocent look on his face.

Xiaoyi Xiu patted Gu Qing Li's palm in consolation, then stepped into the reception room and pressed the button.

Xiao Yiyan casually sat on the edge of the bed with a dazed look on his face as he stared ahead, seemingly lost in thought.

Xiao Yi Xiu looked over at him. The darkness was empty and the only light in the room was a half-lit oil lamp. It was cold and gloomy like Xiao Yi Yan's face. There was no trace of his previous youthful vigor.

"Yan."

"Fifth brother, you're back." Xiao Yiyan wanted to stand up, but was held back by his shoulder and sat back down. He casually lifted up the hem of his robe and sat down on the side.

"Princess Lan Xun is very difficult to deal with?"

Xiao Yiyan pursed his lips and looked at him sternly: "I understand fifth brother's good intentions, but with fifth brother's wisdom, you should understand. If you don't want it, no matter how many good intentions others impose on you, you won't be able to accept it. Whether or not Princess Lan Xun was good or bad had nothing to do with whether or not I liked her. I don't care if you and your fifth sister-in-law … "No matter what you do, you won't be able to change my mind."

When he mentioned Gu Qing Li, he felt an uncontrollable pain in his chest. The feeling of spasms made him unable to bend his waist.

Xiao Yi Xiu stared blankly at him for a moment before sighing, "Maybe I was just being a little troublesome."

"I came today to bid farewell to fifth brother."

"What?" For the first time, Xiao Yixiu was visibly moved, and he suddenly sat up straight.

Xiao Yiyan looked into the darkness, quietly thinking about his mother's pressure on him today, as well as his father's questioning and Princess Lan Xun's pursuit …
