After Jiang Mojue saw it, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and sneered: "These people said it as if it were true. I almost believed it."

Chu Yao also sneered, "It's Country C again. Why are they everywhere? They're like a troublemaker. Have you located the location where they made their noise this time?"

Emperor Shijing replied: "It has been determined, and people have gone to look for it, so we should be able to find some!"

This incident was not suppressed immediately in order to find out the person behind it.

Lu Yanjue followed up by saying, “Not only is there good news over there, but the men who went to the lair of the Swift Wind Pirates have already figured out how to get to the island. There are two shifts of guard change at the entrance to the Swift Wind Pirates every day.

This is a good opportunity. We can replace the person when they are not prepared, sneak in, and then confirm whether Princess Cindy is on the island."

Emperor Shijing nodded, "We have a way to deal with these. The next step is to confirm how much involvement your king has. He should have been the one who released the news several times, right?"

The king was the most suspected person in several incidents.

Lu Yanjue was about to answer.

Pei Yan knocked on the door and came in, reporting directly: "Sir, we have found the source of the news. It was the king's personal guard who spread it privately, although the other party did it secretly, and the news also came from foreign channels.

In response, we conducted some investigation and found that the identity of this guard was very unusual. "

Hearing this, Lu Yanjue frowned and asked, "You mean, the Thunder Sword Guard?"

Pei Yan nodded, "It's the Thunder Sword Guard."

"Who is that guard?"

Jiang Mojue also asked.

Pei Yan answered quickly, "His father is from Country C. He immigrated to Country G and settled there several decades ago. He seems to have saved the old king. The old king thought he had done a great deed, so he arranged for him to be a guard by his side and helped him along the way.

Later, after his father retired, he took his father's position. Since the old king passed away, he has been arranged to be beside the current king.

This kid seems to have some close relationship with the royal family of Country C!"

At this point, Pei Yan and Lu Yanjue emphasized, “Originally, we didn’t take this guard seriously, but a few days ago, your father suddenly asked me to secretly check this person, saying that he was very suspicious.

I specifically asked the subordinates who were previously assigned to the royal family. After careful consideration, the subordinates discovered that this guard often whispered in the king's ear, and was trying to alienate the relationship between you.

I ordered someone to investigate, and now I have the result."

"Oh, so this guard might be a spy???"

Chu Yao was shocked. Is this matter so interesting?

Pei Yan's face was solemn. "Although I don't know what's going on, this guy, under the guise of defending the king, is making overt and covert advances to sow discord. His intentions are definitely sinister!!!

Also, before, when he was in the royal family, he was close to Princess Cindy. Every time the king went to see Cindy, he was there, and the words were conveyed through him. Who knows if he interfered or did something bad.

I seriously suspect that Princess Cindy's escape from marriage may be related to this person!!!"

Before, the things that Princess Cindy was able to do through those people from Country C were most likely mediated by this guard.

Lu Yanjue frowned fiercely.

He really didn't expect that after making every possible plan and checking every possibility, he would miss such a person!

Lu Yanjue then asked, "Besides that, have you found anything else?"

Pei Yan immediately said, "Yes, it is true. Logically, the monthly income of a guard is limited. Even with the king's reward, it is not enough to make him a millionaire. But our people have checked and found that this guard has bought many properties overseas in recent years. That is not the income a guard should have.

His family is neither in business nor in politics, his father is just a bodyguard, and the rest are ordinary citizens, so this person is very suspicious.

Moreover, those are not ordinary properties. Even if you work as a guard for several lifetimes, you will never be able to obtain them."

Then there is only one possibility, that the guard is doing something shameful.

Lu Yanjue's face became serious and he asked, "If there is something wrong with this guard, then who is behind him?"

Emperor Shijing also realized the seriousness of the situation and gave an example: "Suppose that this person is backed by a certain country, then he is lurking in the royal family of country G to cause chaos, and his purpose is quite terrible.

First they want to sow discord between you and the king, so that you and the king can break up, and then they can take advantage of the opportunity to sneak in. "

Jiang Mojue touched his chin and speculated: "Based on the current situation, if the Gu from Country G spreads widely, what kind of situation will it be in?"

Chu Yao responded without even thinking: "Needless to say, there must be internal strife!"

Emperor Shi Jing narrowed his eyes and said, "Well, if the surrounding countries take the opportunity to stir up trouble, it will be hard to say what will happen to Country G in the future. It is even possible that its territory will be divided up."

Although G country is small, there is still meat even if it is small! Moreover, the G country's royal research institute alone can make those people eager to make undue demands.

Jiang Mojue made a bold guess, "The person behind this is not trying to erode Country G, right? If that's the case, then your king and that princess have been used, right?"

Emperor Shijing suddenly said, "I have a more terrifying guess. Suppose that the guard is behind Country C. Country C has always been involved with that group of pirates and the two Gu-raising families. Then... is it possible that your king and princess... have also been involved?"

"what?"

After hearing these words, Lu Yanjue's expression changed, "You mean, the king was also bewitched?"

"Oh my god, it's possible. That thing can enter the body without anyone noticing. The guard is with the king all day long, so he has every chance to do it.

Besides, you also said that there is a big difference between the previous king and the current one, so the possibility of being bewitched is even greater. It is not impossible!"

Jiang Mojue said this and didn't continue!

There are many kinds of "Gu". The king's personality changed drastically and he became suspicious easily. It is very likely that he was poisoned by the mind-disturbing "Gu" and was being controlled.

Lu Yanjue's face didn't look very good. If possible, he would rather hope that the king was just bewitched and lost his mind, rather than being poisoned by a Gu.

He knew too well how terrifying that thing was.

If this is true, then wouldn’t the current king have become a puppet of others?

However, Lu Yan knew in his heart that Emperor Shi Jing's guess was not groundless.

After all, so many things have happened, and almost all of them are related to Country C. The other party's presence is too strong and very suspicious.
