Heishan listened to Xuzhou Jiaoyun's calm and casual description.

The shock in my heart was like a raging storm, rolling over and over in my mind.

Even though he didn't show any signs of panic, his fists were tightening, exposing his inner panic and worry:

Jingni has been caught by Xuzhou Jiao?

Will I be exposed along with Jingni's capture?

After all, he was not sure whether the Imperial Master had revealed himself to Jingni before setting off...

Just when Montenegro was worried about its own future.

Xu Zhoujiao continued:

"I don't believe this, but they are so sure of what they said. So, just in case, I will kill Jingni directly."

"It's settled once and for all!"

Hearing that Jingni was dead, Heishan, who was temporarily safe, breathed a sigh of relief. But when he thought about the solemn instructions given by the Imperial Master before he left, he suddenly felt overwhelmed.

The Imperial Master said: Xuzhou Jiao is suspicious and fickle. In order to successfully lurk beside her, he activated the soul-controlling formation to arouse her murderous intent.

During this period, all contact with Daxie must be cut off. Even the diplomatic mission is not allowed! If there is something important to do, you can go to Guangci Temple and find a nun named Jingni.

But now Jingni is dead, and Guangciyuan is gone. So who should I contact the Imperial Master through...

Faced with such a complicated situation at the moment.

Because of his anxiety, Heishan unconsciously clenched the corners of his clothes with his hands, and he was filled with melancholy and confusion!

Xu Zhoujiao looked at Heishan, who pretended to be calm but was actually in a mess. Then she thought back to Yu Landing's stubborn look before.

The depression in my heart disappeared without a trace in an instant:

No matter how stubborn and infatuated Yu Lanting is, when faced with the eternal dilemma - choosing between two options.

No matter how determined she was, her mind was about to collapse.

“Heishan, you have been with Shang Liao for so long, do you know the existence of Jingni?”

"If she is really the eldest princess of Daxian, how could she have fallen to the point of being a spy in my Dayin territory?"

Heishan faced Xu Zhoujiao's probing gaze, and in order to successfully complete the task, he simply revealed everything he knew about Yu Lanting.

He regarded this "deceased" princess as his "surrender gift" to Xuzhou Jiao.

"To reply to your Excellency, what those nuns said is true. This Jing Nun is definitely the alias of the eldest princess hiding in Guangciyuan."

"She was originally a candidate for the last Saint. But because she had a crush on the Imperial Master Shang Liao, she took advantage of Shang Liao's time in cultivation and sneaked into the forbidden area."

"Having an affair with Shang Liao."

"By the time the old king found out, the two had already done what they wanted. It was too late. Due to Shang Liao's dignity and status, the old king had to give in and let Yu Lanting stay with Shang Liao."

"And they announced to the public that the princess was suffering from a serious illness."

"Because the eldest princess could no longer become a saint. In order to stabilize the royal family, the old monarch followed Shang Liao's advice and trained his young eldest disciple, Gu Jiahua, as the new saint."

"But not long after, Shang Liao had the selfish intention to annex Dayin. In order to plant spies inside Dayin, Shang Liao secretly sent some people to infiltrate Dayin to develop power."

"This eldest princess is one of the candidates."

Xu Zhoujiao heard Heishan mentioned the original intruder.

She frowned and asked in a cold voice, "Who were the first people to infiltrate Dayin? Where were they assigned to?"

"Because it happened so long ago, I don't know where they were distributed. But I heard from others that, except for Yu Lanting's group, all the first batch of forces were wiped out by the then Great Yin King, Yin Shanhua, with the force of thunder!"

"For this reason, Shang Liao chose to remain silent for a long time in order to keep Yu Lanting, the last nail."

After hearing this, Xu Zhoujiao finally understood why Yu Landing did nothing when Master Guangci was alive.

It turned out that it was not her caution, but an order from Shang Liao...

Xu Zhoujiao thought of the bright yellow cloth bag that Yu Lanting had carefully kept, and asked Heishan, "How long did Yu Lanting stay with Shang Liao before she came to Dayin?"

"Your Excellency, it's been about a year and a half."

"Then have you ever heard about what else happened between her and Shang Liao during this year and a half?"

This time, the problem touched upon the blind spot of Montenegro's intelligence. He shook his head at Xu Zhoujiao, indicating that he was not aware of it.

Xu Zhoujiao has no doubts about this:

Because of this kind of secret, from the overall perspective, the fewer people who know about it, the better. After all, that child is Yu Lanting's weak spot.

If someone gets hold of evidence, the consequences will be disastrous.

However, this also happened to confirm from the side: Yu Lanting did have a child with Shang Liao, and the child was still in Shang Liao's hands...

"Heishan, let's talk about your saint. What is her relationship with Shang Liao like?"

When Heishan heard Xu Zhoujiao mention Gu Jiahuan, he immediately became alert: the eldest princess is already dead, so what she said is what she said.

But Gu Jiahua is one of the important chess pieces in the Imperial Master's trip. If I put her in trouble because of what I revealed, I will be to blame.

Considering the importance of Gu Jiahua, Heishan evaded Xu Zhoujiao with a sentence:

"Your Excellency, due to my low status, I have heard many things from hearsay. I only know that Gu Jiahua is usually highly regarded by the Lord Liao."

Seeing Heishan trying to avoid the main issue, Xuzhou Jiao decided to help him. She used the same trick she used on Jingni on Heishan.

Heishan, who was in a daze, found out all of Gu Jiahua's secrets without anyone noticing.

"Although Gu Jiahua is the saint of Dawei on the surface and enjoys unlimited glory, in reality, she is just a toy for the royal family and dignitaries of Dawei to play with."

"Because there are so many princes in Dazhen, and they are hereditary. No matter they are old or young, each of them holds real power, which greatly divides the imperial power."

"In order to maintain stability, monarchs of all dynasties would carefully select a pure and innocent princess and promote her to be a saint. They were not restricted by status or blood relationship and would win over every prince, dignitary, and even meritorious ministers and soldiers for the monarch."

Hearing this, Xu Zhoujiao's eyes flashed red, and she asked Heishan softly: "Tell me, why doesn't Gu Jiahua resist those old guys?"

"The reason why Gu Jiahua did not resist was because she obeyed the orders of the Imperial Master and helped him to undermine the royal family."

"Because she was cast into a puppetry spell by the Imperial Master, anyone who touches her body will be slowly corrupted by the puppetry."

"Until my mind was completely controlled by the Imperial Master."

No wonder Gu Jiahua would serve those old immortals so obediently. It turns out there is another reason behind this.

I think she came to Dayin to marry for the same purpose...

In order not to alert the enemy, Xuzhou Jiao silently withdrew the spell she had cast on Heishan after asking this question.

She looked at Heishan whose eyes gradually became clear again, smiled, and continued, "Before coming here, I was worried that Heishan, you would take the initiative to make peace with me, and it was a trap set by you and Shang Liao."

"After all, the timing and movements of your appearance were too deliberate."

"But now, after seeing Heishan's open and honest attitude, I am completely relieved. From now on, just concentrate on working for me like Chilong and the others."

As she spoke, she raised her chin towards Heishan and gestured:

"Alright, we are all family, so stop kneeling and stand up!"

Heishan looked at Xuzhoujiao's attitude and completely relaxed. The huge stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

Just when Heishan was feeling extremely happy for having gained Xuzhou Jiao's trust.

Xu Zhoujiao once again brought him a "free point question".

"There is something that Montenegro needs you to do right now."

"The night before yesterday, you killed those warlocks, but left their bodies unattended."

"As a result, Gu Jiahua brought the bodies of Zhou Quan and others to block the city god temple and cause trouble early yesterday morning. I was very unhappy!"

"Now that you have mastered your skills, I will give you a chance for revenge!"

"Go and kill Gu Jiahua."

"This way, I can teach Shang Liao a lesson. I can also vent your anger for you!"
