One person ascends to the Pure Huang Court

Along the way, Gao Yue practiced the principle of silence is golden. He did not ask Hu Xiuwu anything, but just took them back to the Gao family residence.

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

Gao Lu was holding an oil lamp and standing in front of the Gao family's gate like a vengeful spirit.

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

What? Of course I was 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 resentment could be turned into substance, Gao Yue's face would have been covered with resentment by his nephew.

Looking at Gao Yue's rosy face, and Chen Duo, who usually had no expression but seemed very happy today, he kept playing with the pendant on his neck with his hands.

Gao Lu had accumulated countless complaints and wanted to vent them:

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

Gao Yue felt a little scared when his nephew looked at him, and could only speak awkwardly:

"What's wrong, A-Lu, why are you looking at me like that?"

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

"Nothing, my uncle told me to wait for you here."

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

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

Although he was wondering why Gao Gu suddenly wanted to see him so late at night, Hu Xiuwu still said happily:

"Okay, I just happen to have something to tell him."

Hu Xiuwu asked Chen Duo to rest first, and 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 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.

It's like when you are addicted to games and your mother calls you to eat, you look dazed. If you answer a little later, you will get a slap in the face that you love.

Gao Lu naturally didn't dare to do this to Gao Gu. He put the oil lamp in his hand on the lamp stand beside him and could only raise his voice to wake up Gao Gu who was lost in thought:

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

Gao Lu called out twice, finally making Gao Gu take his eyes off the map. As he was too engrossed in the map, Gao Gu didn't even recognize who Hu Xiuwu was the moment he saw him.

After blinking twice, Gao Gu finally woke up from his dream and said to Hu Xiuwu apologetically:

"I'm so sorry, I was so engrossed in my thoughts just now that I didn't notice you coming."

"Lin Heng, go and rest first. I have something to discuss with Mr. Xiuwu."

"Here!"

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

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

"I received a message today that the Queen of Jingjue issued an arrest warrant for three people."

"One of them looks exactly like you."

Hu Xiuwu said calmly: "Really?"

Hu Xiuwu's calm reaction was beyond 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 personalities.

Chen Duo has a cold personality. Apart from Hu Xiuwu, she doesn't care much about other things. Hu Xiuwu looks a little more enthusiastic than Chen Duo, but in fact his character is also very cold. However, compared with Chen Duo, he still has some human touch.

Other than that, although both of them are very smart, they are not very cunning, and most things are written on their faces.

According to Hu Xiuwu's previous personality, he should have been surprised when he suddenly heard that he was wanted, but now after hearing this, he had no expression at all.

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

Gao Lu had been running around outside for a whole day, but of course he did not gain nothing, although Prince Gumo's men did not tell him where Hu Xiuwu was.

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

But 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 or help him pass on messages inside.

Gao Yue stood at the door of Prince Gumo's mansion and thought for a moment before deciding not to force his way in and cause trouble. Instead, he came back to report to Gao Gu. After Gao Gu heard that they had entered Prince Gumo's mansion, he was not in a hurry to call Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo back.

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

wrong,

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

King Zhe Luo of Kucha has not posted the notice yet. According to the information obtained from Gao Lu, Prince Gumo has not left Kucha in the past few months, and no one from Gumo has come to see him. Where did he get the information?

unless······

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

Chapter 133 Showdown

The scattered clues formed a flash of inspiration that penetrated the mind of the famous detective Gao Gu, allowing him to string everything together and guess the truth.

Gao Gu sighed, "I never thought that Prince Gumo would have such a scheme, hiding it from everyone in the Western Regions, making everyone think that he was just a mortal who indulged in singing and dancing."

This was not just a matter of a few days, but had been kept secret for several years. During these years, everyone believed that he was just a man who relied on his good looks to live off others.

He sings and dances during the day and transforms into a shadow assassin at night, and he also controls the vast resources of a country.

After hearing what Gao Gu said, Hu Xiuwu suddenly felt that Hadili's character looked familiar, like the bat in a comic book he had read before, hiding in the darkness and using fear to scare the bad guys.

He said so much, but Hu Xiuwu didn't respond, which surprised Gao Gu. He took the lead in breaking the deadlock:

"Sir, aren't you worried that I will report you to Jing Jue?"

Hu Xiuwu smiled slightly, revealing the same confident expression as Gao Gu before:

"Will the Zakramah people cooperate with the Guidong tribe?"

Gao Gu stared at Hu Xiuwu with eyes wide open in 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 composed strategist who could move the world.

After a long while, Gao Gucai said with a lonely look:

"Xiu Wu is indeed a disciple of a famous master, with a long family history. Not many people know about the Zakram tribe of the past."

"Of the great clans that once dominated the Western Regions, only our branch is left to survive."

Gao Gu lamented the current situation of the Zakalama tribe with a small population, but Hu Xiuwu complained:

Although your population is small, your inheritance has never been broken and has continued until two thousand years later, and the last member of your tribe became my sister-in-law.

After showing his weak side for only a brief moment, Gao Gu would cover it up again with his hard shell and hide it in the deepest part of his heart.

He turned back into the strategist and leader of the Zaklama tribe.

Gao Gu said to Hu Xiuwu: "Since you already know our identities, you must have heard about the curse on our clan."

Hu Xiuwu nodded: "Of course, it is the curse of the ghost cave that will cause a person's yang energy to be lost and their life span to be dissipated."

When Hu Xiuwu mentioned the curse of the ghost cave, Gao Gu's eyes still showed a trace of ripples:

"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 against Jingjue from the beginning."

"After hearing about the appearance of the Queen of Jingjue, my uncle, the last chief of the Zaklama tribe, brought most of the gold, silver and jewelry that the tribe had earned in the past few years to meet the Queen of Jingjue."

"We prayed that she would have pity on us and help us get rid of the curse, but after seeing my uncle, the Queen of Jingjue imprisoned him, saying that he was a sacrifice to the snake god, and that our clan was born with the curse, which was just the mark of the sacrifice. We were not qualified to negotiate with her at all."

"Later, we took great pains to rescue my uncle, but he stayed near the ghost cave for too long. By the time we got him back, it was too late."

Gao Gu said with a decisive and murderous tone: "From then on, I understood that if I wanted to break the curse, I couldn't rely on others' charity, but could only rob it with swords and spears."

"As long as the Queen of Jingjue is alive, our tribe will never be able to find a way to lift the curse."

Gao Gu revealed his ill will towards the Queen of Jingjue without disguising himself, and then turned to Hu Xiuwu and said:

"So, we share the same suffering, sir, and are natural allies."

"We should unite together, overthrow the rule of Jingjue, and take what we need."

Hu Xiuwu looked at Gao Gu's determined face, and suddenly something dawned on him:

"Even without Duo'er and me, you would have been ready to deal with the Jingjue Kingdom, right?"

"That's why you are so anxious to come to the Western Regions. Not only do you want to take Gao Lu to familiarize himself with the Western Regions and train a successor, you also have to come to the Western Regions in person to study the situation there."

"Sir, you are an old confidant."

Gao Gu smiled slightly, 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 noticed the tense and delicate relationship between the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions. The Jingjue Kingdom is proud of its unrivaled military force in the Western Regions, and its persecution of the other thirty-six countries in the Western Regions is becoming more and more severe. One day, it will force the other countries to rebel."

"The current situation in the Western Region is just like the Qin Dynasty in the past. On the surface, everything is harmonious, but as long as there is an opportunity, a wave will sweep across the world. The same is true for the Western Region."

Hu Xiuwu understood: "Duo'er and I are this opportunity."

"Hahaha, I originally thought that I wouldn't be able to wait for this to happen and could only leave it all to Gao Lu, but I didn't expect that there would be a turn for the better."

Gao Gu laughed loudly toward the sky, and his laughter was very hearty, as if he wanted to clear away the depression that had been suppressed for many years. After he laughed enough, he corrected Hu Xiuwu's statement:

"No, to be precise, it was you who caused the reaction of the Queen of Jingjue. She is just a woman with strong power. Her political skills are far inferior to those of Empress Lu."

Then, he told Hu Xiuwu about the reaction of King Zeluo of Kucha to the actions of the Queen of Jingjue.

Although Hu Xiuwu had some understanding, he still did not understand:

"This is just a lie of yours. Sooner or later, King Zeluo of Kucha will know that Chen Duo and I have already arrived in Yancheng."

Gao Gu said leisurely, "It's a lie, no, the human heart is hard to predict. The Queen of Jingjue may not have thought so when she gave the order, but after a while, when she finds that it is smoother to let her own people rule the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, what will she think?"

"Zhe Luo is a tyrant. It is because of this possibility that Ze Luo believes my words."

"He may not care if the Kingdom of Jingjue exploits Qiuci, but he will definitely not agree if the Queen of Jingjue seizes control of Qiuci from him."

"As long as he has this idea in mind, your work will actually be helpful."

"Besides, I just got some good news from you, sir. Prince Gumo is actually the murderer who assassinated the Queen of Jingjue! Ha, now we have two powerful countries in the Western Regions standing on our side."

Gao Gu's face turned red, and he danced wildly.
