Just as Ruan Xiaonuan was about to leave the palace, there were people who immediately ran over to Gu Junxiu's study. He had been sitting there all this time, as if she were waiting for some important news.

Xiao Qi said anxiously, "The people from Ling Yue Kingdom have already left the palace. If Your Highness does not move, I'm afraid they will run away."

The candles in the study room flickered in the wind. So did Gu Junxiu.

He was different from Xiao Qi who was anxious, and seemed to be in no hurry. However, the words that came out of his mouth made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave, "The person controlling from behind hasn't appeared yet. Wait a bit longer, This King will make sure they will never return."

When Xiao Qi heard this, he could not help but get goosebumps. He suddenly sympathized with those reckless Ling Yue Kingdom people, they actually dared to be so arrogant under Gu Junxiu's watch.

Other than the incident with Lin Zian last time, it had been a long time since he saw his master show such an expression. His excitement was greater than his sympathy, which meant that he could display it well.

After Ruan Xiaonuan left the palace, not long after, they brought her to an unremarkable alley in the capital city. Sikong Shu had been waiting for her since long ago. When he saw her appear, she respectfully bowed, then extremely vexedly berated herself, "It's all my fault that this subject didn't rescue His Majesty out early, and caused Your Majesty to suffer greatly."

Ruan Xiaonuan looked at the old man speechlessly. If she really believed him, then she would truly be a pawn in his hands. She calmly looked at him, personally helping him up as she said gratefully, "You don't have to blame yourself. We came out because of love letter."

She did not miss the pleased look in Sikong Shu's eyes when he finished listening to what she said. He really thought that from now on, he would treat him as a savior and follow his words.

Ruan Xiaonuan mocked him in her heart. She didn't know what Shen Yuerong had done to the Prime Minister of the Ling Yue Kingdom in the past, and she didn't want to know either. But now that it's her, Ruan Xiaonuan, these people can't even think about taking advantage of her.

"love letter, when are we leaving the Xiyue Kingdom?" Ruan Xiaonuan had a smile on her face the entire time. Sikong Shu was very satisfied with her attitude, and he said proudly, "Your Majesty, please wait for a moment. This subject has found many guards for Your Majesty, and they will be right over. At that time, we will leave the Xiyue Kingdom together and take back the Ling Yue Kingdom's city. "

Just as he finished speaking, a familiar voice came from outside, "This lord has guts indeed. This king would like to see if you have the ability to take back the Ling Yue Kingdom?"

After Ruan Xiaonuan found out that it was Gu Junxiu, her heart was filled with mixed emotions. She was happy that she didn't need to become a useless puppet, but worried that he might have misunderstood her. She looked at him with a complicated expression and did not shout for help.

"Who are you? How did you get in? " Sikong Shu asked in shock. Without waiting for Gu Junxiu's reply, he loudly shouted:

"Men, tie them up." Gu Junxiu's face revealed a mocking smile, and looked at him without the slightest fear, "You think you can contend against Xiyue Kingdom with just a few useless trash outside? "Aren't you a little too naive?"

After he finished speaking, he turned his body to the side so that he could see what was happening outside.

Sikong Shu looked at the blood all over the ground in disbelief. Even though these people were not peerless experts, they were still one against ten, how could they be so easily taken care of? He asked in fear, "Who exactly are you?"

Gu Junxiu's tone did not change, he walked forward a few steps and stood in front of Sikong Shu, and said to him, "Have you still not guessed who this king is?"

Sikong Shu's eyes shrank as she saw him wearing a silver mask and a spotless white robe. His lips moved as he subconsciously said,

"Gu Junxiu!" His face was drained of blood. His steps were shaky, and he couldn't help but take a step back.

Gu Junxiu looked at his scared expression with satisfaction. He seemed to be talking about something ordinary.

"If this king hasn't guessed wrong, you should be the Prime Minister of the Ling Yue Kingdom. Unfortunately, you haven't been given much use, and I reckon that you'll be replaced in a short while. However, you are underestimating this duke too much. Do you really think that no one knows about the people you planted in the palace? "

When he heard up to here, Sikong Shu had already known that he definitely wasn't alive to leave this place today. His face was ashen as he said in despair, "How are you going to deal with this?"

After Gu Junxiu heard it, he could not help but burst out laughing, and said sarcastically, "Didn't you say you were going to tie this king up? Isn't he going to snatch back the Ling Yue Kingdom's city? "Why are you looking to die?"

He looked at him like he was looking at a clown.

When Sikong Shu saw his current appearance, there was no need to mention how resentful he was in his heart. He felt like a monkey that was being toyed with. He thought that he had flawless skills, but in reality, they were all in the hands of someone else. Just as he was about to lose all hope, he remembered that he still had another bargaining chip up his sleeve, and instantly said with full confidence, "Gu Junxiu, do you really think you alone will be able to push us all out tonight?" Gu Junxiu seemed to be silent for a while, as if he was trying to figure out why Yue Yang had suddenly changed. Right at this moment, Xiao Qi walked in from outside with something in his hand.

"Your majesty, the matter has been resolved." Gu Junxiu nodded, Xiao Qi immediately threw the thing in his hand at Sikong Shu's feet, and after seeing what it was, he tried his best to hold back the churning in his stomach, and turned his head to the other side.

When Sikong Shu saw the head, his vision went dark and he fell straight to the ground. Gu Junxiu looked at him in disgust, and indicated for someone beside him to wake him up.

"Gu Junxiu, the slaughter you committed today, the heavens will definitely punish you in the future." After he woke up, his face was deathly pale as he spoke fiercely.

Gu Junxiu did not care about what he said. He said calmly, "This king's hands are covered with quite a bit of blood. If the heavens could really see, they would have taken this king's life long ago."

Ruan Xiaonuan looked at him as if he was a stranger. Although he wore a spotless white robe, he looked more like a demon. She finally understood why those people were so afraid of him.

When she looked again, Xiao Qi was holding the sword in his hand and was about to stab down, but Gu Junxiu was looking coldly at his from the back. Without any hesitation, she rushed to the front and said, "Stop!"

Xiao Qi's sword had fallen an inch into her heart, if it wasn't for him taking it in time, she would have died here today. Ruan Xiaonuan did not fear the sharp sword in front of his eyes, and said to Gu Junxiu, "You have already broken all of his wings, and he is no longer a threat to you, can't you just let him live?"

Her voice echoed in this small courtyard.
