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 sighed with emotion: "I never expected that Prince Gumo would 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.

After being told by Gao Gu, Hu Xiuwu suddenly felt that Hadili's character looked a little familiar, like a comic he had read before, the bat that was hidden in the darkness and used fear to intimidate evildoers.

He said so much, but Hu Xiuwu had no reaction. This surprised Gao Gu, who took the lead 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."

"The great clans that once dominated the Western Regions are now the only ones left who are struggling to survive."

Gao Gu lamented the current situation of the Zakarama people being sparsely populated, but Hu Xiuwu complained:

Although your population is sparse, the 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 Sir already knows our identities, he must have heard about the curse in our clan."

Hu Xiuwu nodded: "Of course, the curse of the ghost cave will cause the loss of Yang Qi and the dissipation of life span."

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 appearance of Queen Jingjue back then, my uncle, who took office as the chief of the Zakrama clan, once brought most of the gold, silver and jewelry 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 seeing my uncle, Queen Jingjue imprisoned him, saying 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 cannot rely on others' charity, but can only rely on robbing it with swords and halberds."

"As long as Queen Jingjue is around, 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 tone and said to Hu Xiuwu:

"So, our husband and I share the same problem and are natural allies."

"We should join together to overthrow Jingjue's rule and get 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 close 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 Regions, I was aware of the tense and delicate relationships among the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions. The Jingjue Kingdom claimed to possess the most powerful force in the Western Regions, and its persecution of the other thirty-six countries in the Western Regions became increasingly profound.

One day it will force other countries to rebel."

"The current situation in the Western Regions is just like the Great Qin Dynasty 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 Regions."

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 hand over all this to Gao Lu, but unexpectedly, things turned around."

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 Empress 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 more smooth for her to rule the thirty-six countries in the Western Region.

What do you think?"

"Zero is a tyrant. 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 work 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 there are 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 they are 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 Pearl 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 careless 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.
