Hadili's ability to bow to Hu Xiuwu for the people of Gumo proved that he was indeed a virtuous king who loved his people like a son, as recorded in history books.

If it were King Qiuci, he would only ask for help from his people, and he would not ask for help for his people. Whether it was reforming the official system, or following Gao Gu's advice, improving the blacksmith shop, and meeting the needs of Jingjue, it was all for

Consolidate your own position and power.

If one day Jingjue only wants people to use weapons, he will not resist Queen Jingjue like Hadili.

As for the reason why Hadili asked Hu Xiuwu, this is a beautiful misunderstanding.

Hadili was shocked by the special effects of the snake god's appearance and overestimated the situation of the snake god. He is now unable to protect himself and has no way to interfere in the real world.

As long as Queen Jingjue can be brought out of the ghost cave, there is no need to consider the snake god.

But Hu Xiuwu did not explain this misunderstanding. This was the basis for his cooperation with Hadili. Now that Hadili asked him for help first, he turned his back and became the party taking the initiative. It is better to let the misunderstanding go first.

In addition, Hu Xiuwu also wanted to return to modern times quickly, so he answered readily:

"Okay, I agree to your request and I will help you deal with Queen Jingjue."

Hu Xiuwu took out the remaining bearing steel balls from the Ghost Tomb and placed them on the table.

"As a sign of sincerity in forming an alliance, these wrought irons will be handed over to Prince Hadili."

"However, dealing with Queen Jingjue requires a lot of planning, and we can't take action easily."

Hadili thought of Queen Jingjue's terrifying aura, which severely injured him with one blow, and agreed with him with lingering fear:

"Yes, I also need time to heal my wounds, and I also need to find a skilled craftsman to forge two new daggers from these precious irons."

Hu Xiuwu hesitated to speak. Even if Hadili could use these steel balls to create a sharp blade, it would be nothing more than an earthly weapon. If it were not a magical weapon, it would still be difficult to deal with Queen Jingjue.

But seeing Hadili's excited expression, let him be happy for a while, and then think of a solution.

Hadili was very happy that Hu Xiuwu could agree to form an alliance. He planned to let Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo stay in his house. They would have a good talk in the evening, but Hu Xiuwu declined. He planned to return to the Gao family first, so he had to

Saying goodbye is not his style.

Hadili asked his attendants to bring Gao Yue back. When Gao Yue came back, his hair was moist and his face was rosy, but there was not much smell of alcohol on his body. It seemed that he had not lost his vigilance.

However, he seemed to be much more relaxed and no longer had the bitter and resentful expression before, and he didn't know how Hadili's people entertained him.

To be honest, he wanted to try it.

Hadili personally sent them out of the mansion. After Hu Xiuwu and the others left, Zumureti no longer had to maintain his mental connection, so she no longer had to keep her mind as a mirror. She raised her head and looked at her husband:

"Hadili, do you really think these two children can help you?"

In front of his beloved wife, Hadili no longer concealed his thoughts:

"I don't know either, but I have no other choice. Gumo can no longer bear the exploitation of Queen Jingjue."

······

When Hu Xiuwu and others walked back, it was already getting late, and all the families in Yancheng who had some spare money had already lit up lamps, while the poor families could only rest or do some exercises that could be done without lamps to pass the time.

Along the way, Gao Yue practiced the principle of silence is golden. He didn't ask Hu Xiuwu anything and just took them back to the Gao family's residence.

When they returned to the Gao family's residence, they found a bright yellow light at the gate, reflecting a resentful face.

Gao Lu held an oil lamp and stood in front of the gate of the Gao family like the wraith.

Gao Yue said in surprise: "Alu, what are you doing standing at the door?"

What are you doing? Of course I'm waiting for you. Do you know that I ran all day just to find you?

Gao Lu stared at Gao Yue for a long time. If the resentment could turn into reality, Gao Yue would have been covered in resentment by his nephew.

Looking at Gao Yue's rosy face, Chen Duo, who usually had no expression, but today looked very happy and played with the pendant around his neck with his hands from time to time.

Gao Lu has accumulated countless complaints and wants to vent them out:

I've been running for so long, I'm tired and worried about you, why do you all look so happy!

Gao Yue was a little embarrassed when his nephew looked at him, so he could only say in embarrassment:

"What's wrong, Ah Lu, why are you looking at me like this?"

Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo stood aside. They couldn't let outsiders see the joke. Gao Lu sighed and said helplessly:

"Nothing, uncle asked me to wait for you here."

Gao Lu looked at Hu Xiuwu and said calmly: "Sir, uncle wants to see you."

It's so late, why does Gao Gu want to see me?

Although it was strange why Gao Gu suddenly wanted to see him at such a late hour, Hu Xiuwu still said happily:

"Okay, it just so happens that I also have something I want to tell him."

Hu Xiuwu asked Chen Duo to rest first, while he followed Gao Lu to find Gao Gu.

Gao Gu's room was brightly lit, with several oil lamps lit, making the room as bright as day. When Hu Xiuwu and the others arrived, Gao Gu was looking at a map of the Western Regions by candlelight.

He was immersed in his own thoughts and did not notice the arrival of Gao Lu and Hu Xiuwu at all.

Just like you who are addicted to games and are in a daze when your mother asks you to eat. If you answer later, you will get a big mouth that you love to eat.

Gao Lu naturally did not dare to do this to Gao Gu. After placing the oil lamp in his hand on the lamp stand beside him, he could only raise his voice to a higher pitch, hoping to wake up Gao Gu who was deep in thought:

"Uncle! Uncle! Mr. Shugo is here."

Gao Lu called out twice and finally made Gao Gu look away from the map. Because he was so fascinated, Gao Lu didn't even recognize who Hu Xiuwu was when he saw him.

After blinking twice, Gao Gucai woke up from a dream and said apologetically to Hu Xiuwu:

"I'm really sorry. I was so absorbed in thinking about things just now that I didn't notice your arrival."

"Lin Heng, you should go and rest first. I have something to discuss with Mr. Xiu Wu."

"Here!"

After Gao Lu bowed and saluted, he simply left Gao Gu's room. Before leaving, he closed the door of the room to give them a private space.

Gao Gu was not in a hurry to speak. Instead, he smiled and spread his hands to the seat opposite him, motioning for Hu Xiuwu to sit opposite him, and then said leisurely:

"I got news during the day today that Queen Jingjue ordered three people to be wanted."

"One of them looks exactly like you."

Hu Xiuwu said calmly: "That's right."

Hu Xiuwu's calm reaction exceeded Gao Gu's expectations. During the journey to the Western Regions, Gao Gu had secretly observed Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo and had a general understanding of their characters.

Chen Duo has a cold temperament. Except for Hu Xiuwu, he doesn't care much about other things. While Hu Xiuwu looks a little more enthusiastic than Chen Duo, in fact, his personality is also very cold on the inside, but compared to Chen Duo, he still has a bit of a human touch.

In addition, although the two of them are very smart, they don't have much talent, and most things are written on their faces.

According to Hu Xiuwu's previous personality, he should be surprised when he suddenly heard that he was wanted, but now that he heard about it, he showed no expression.

Gao Gu guessed: Someone before me told Xiu Wu about this matter. Was it Prince Hadili of Gumo?

Gao Lu spent a day running around, but of course it was not without success, although Prince Gumo's men did not reveal Hu Xiuwu's whereabouts to him.

But the characteristics of Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo were so obvious that someone naturally saw them in the market. Gao Lu relied on money and Gao Gu's reputation to finally find out their whereabouts.

However, when he arrived, Hu Xiuwu, Chen Duo and Gao Yue had already entered Prince Gumo's mansion, and Gumo's soldiers stopped him at the door, not allowing him to enter and not helping him spread the news inside.

Gao Yue stood at the door of Prince Gu Mo's mansion. After thinking for a moment, he still did not rush into the trouble and went back to Gao Gu first. After Gao Gu heard that they had entered Prince Gu Mo's mansion, he did not rush to call Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo back.

Already.

He just asked Gao Lu to wait for Hu Xiuwu and others to come back at the door, and then bring Hu Xiuwu to see him as soon as possible.

wrong,

Just when he thought of this, Gao Gu suddenly realized that something was wrong:

King Zeluo of Qiuci has not yet posted the notice. I heard from Gaolu that Prince Gumo has not left Qiuci in the past few months, and no one from Gumo has come to see him. Where did he get it?

information?

unless······

Gao Gu looked at Hu Xiuwu with burning eyes: "Prince Gumo is the third wanted person! The assassin who assassinated Queen Jingjue!"
