The boundless flowing fire mentioned by Gong Shangjiao only attracted Gong Yuanzheng's surprise, while Zhang Xueming didn't even raise his eyelids.

Gong Shangjiao was a little discouraged and added, "Ming Wu Ji believed the words in the letter because the outpost manager who escaped back to the palace gate that day brought back a newly forged bladeless rapier. The forging process of that sword was unique to the swordsmith Ming Xiong. Ming Xiong is Ming Wu Ji's father."

He told Elder Yue about Ming Wuji's past. At this time, no one knew what information would be useful, and hiding it would only bring trouble.

Gong Yuanzheng couldn't help but sneer: "That idiot, he can't understand the facts right in front of him. Wufeng must have coveted her father's casting craftsmanship and found her family. Her father and brother both knew that craft and refused to work for Wufeng, so they were captured by Wufeng.

Her father deliberately sent her away to protect her, but she was so stupid that she went back and fell into the trap, and even thought Jackdaw was a good person and voluntarily joined Wufeng, forcing her father and brother to submit. In the end, they both committed suicide because they heard that she might die after entering the palace... Tsk, there is an idiot in the family, and he will not be punished for killing others."

Zhang Xueming couldn't help but complain: "She is not only stupid, but also selfish and cold-hearted. She cares more about her own feelings than anything else. Did Ming Wuji suffer from lack of food and clothing, being beaten and scolded at home? Did she work like a slave for her father and brother at home?

Her father tried his best to make her live a good life, but because he rarely smiled at her and refused to teach her the ancestral sword-making technique, she felt that her father didn't love her and only loved her brother... If he really let her learn, would she feel that her father was abusing her because it was too tiring and too hard?"

"It's hard to say." Gong Shangjiao also looked down on this kind of person.

Zhang Xueming picked out three pieces of paper, Gong Ziyu, Gong Yuanzheng, and Gong Shangjiao, and placed them on the table: "Okay, let's continue. Is the infinite flowing fire that brother mentioned before a weapon?"

Gong Shangjiao's heart fluttered with vigilance for a moment, then calmed down: "Yes, it is extremely powerful."

"Are there any restrictions on its use, such as the user will perish together with the enemy?"

Still so sharp. Gong Shangjiao nodded and said, "Yes, it will definitely kill you, and it can only be used by holding a blade."

"Brother!?" Gong Yuanzheng's face changed and he looked at him in surprise and doubt.

Gong Shangjiao smiled with relief and said, "Nothing, I haven't taken over yet."

Gong Yuanzheng pursed his lips and was about to say, "If I had known this would happen, I would have let Gong Huanyu be the broken blade holder." But thinking about Gong Shangjiao's temper, he swallowed his words to avoid being scolded for "How can one enjoy the good things without worrying about the bad things in this world?"

But he really didn't think there was anything good about being a palace guard.

Zhang Xueming frowned: "Is there a time limit for the handover between the old and new wielders?"

Gong Shangjiao replied: "No, there is no normal handover. If the previous blade holder dies, the handover must be completed within two hours."

Zhang Xueming's heart moved, and he remembered a rule in the palace family rules, and whispered: "Inheritance in absentia."

She uttered these four words, quickly stringing all the clues together, gently patted her forehead, and sighed: "I think I know under what circumstances Gong Ziyu would get involved with Yun Weishan, and what Gong Huanyu's overall plan and purpose were."

The two brothers listened attentively.

"Although the treasure is good, it has too many hidden dangers. Once you become the wielder of the blade, you will be doomed." Zhang Xueming summarized, and then said: "Gong Huanyu hates Wufeng, there is no doubt about that. But, what if he wants to destroy Wufeng, but is unwilling to perish with Wufeng?"

"It's the elder brother who got the position, and he's not sure he can convince the elder brother to be his swordsman." Gong Yuanzheng understood immediately, "Gong Huanyu wants to push Gong Ziyu up to be the swordsman of the palace gate. Gong Ziyu, that idiot, has no skills and knows nothing, so he's just the right puppet for him. Once Gong Ziyu becomes the swordsman, Yun Weishan's goal will naturally change."

This is too disgusting. Gong Yuanzheng almost jumped up when he imagined himself having to bow respectfully to Gong Ziyu and ask him to hold the sword.

"Yes. He wanted to fake his death after killing Gong Hongyu, hide behind the scenes, use Gong Ziyu and the Council of Elders to suppress the two palaces of Jiao Zheng who were suspected of murdering Gong Hongyu and seizing the throne, and command Ming Wuji to stir up trouble in the palace gate, so that the palace gate would fall into a precarious situation. Induce Wufeng to invade, force Gong Ziyu to use the Infinite Flowing Fire to die with Wufeng, and then he would come out to take charge of the overall situation and lead the palace gate to rise. Perhaps... he also wanted to make the palace gate a true overlord of the martial arts world?"

Zhang Xueming told all she had guessed about Gong Huanyu's overall plan in one breath, and sighed, "Creating internal strife and division in one's own family, and even fighting the enemy on one's own territory... What kind of extremely smart person is this?"

Gong Shangjiao laughed in anger: "I understand. If Zhaozhao does not take action when the bride enters the palace, according to Wufeng's plan, Cheng Angyun will jump out and expose himself. Cheng Angyun entered the dungeon, and Gong Huanyu must persuade the other party to cooperate with him to assassinate Gong Hongyu, and then use something to hide a small note with something about the infinite flowing fire written on the small note.

When I returned to the palace gate, on the day of the marriage selection, when everyone was most relaxed, he took the note to find Gong Hongyu. I have verified the identities of all the brides, and several of them have connections with me. There are assassins who have infiltrated the palace gates, and they have obtained the highest secrets of the palace. I will definitely be sent out to investigate secretly, without bringing anyone with me, and I must go alone, and I cannot reveal my whereabouts to anyone. "

Gong Shangjiao stopped to catch his breath.

Gong Yuanzheng could see that he was really angry. He looked at him worriedly, thought for a moment, and said, "Brother is gone. With Gong Hongyu's temper, he must interrogate the assassin himself. This kind of secret cannot be interrogated in the dungeon. It must be brought to the Blade Hall. No guards or secret guards can be left inside or outside the Blade Hall.

Gong Huanyu smeared the poison on the paper and showed it to Gong Hongyu first. When Gong Hongyu was poisoned, the assassin jumped up and killed Gong Hongyu. Gong Huanyu then killed the assassin and pretended to be seriously injured.

Gong Huanyu must have arranged for Ming Wuji to come to Zhiren Hall at this time, so that he could tell Ming Wuji that his brother and I had set up a plan to kill Gong Hongyu and kill him to seize the throne. Ming Wuji, that idiot, didn't know that he was the man behind the scenes, so she would cooperate with him to use the winter cicada grass to make him fake his death and report their deaths to the Council of Elders."

Zhang Xueming continued, "The Council of Elders can't find my brother's whereabouts, and Gong Ziyu is the only adult male heir left in the palace, so we can only push him to the throne according to the family rules of absentee succession.

In order to prevent her from being exposed, Ming Wuji would urge the early burial of Gong Hongyu and Gong Huanyu. After three days, she would quietly dig up Gong Huanyu's grave and release him.

Since then, he has been hiding behind the scenes, and Ming Wuji has been guiding Gong Ziyu to investigate A Yuan. Gong Ziyu and A Yuan have always been at odds, and with new and old grudges, it would be strange if he didn't trample A Yuan to death.

If we follow the investigation of Baicaocui, Manager Jia will deliberately reveal his flaws and insist that it was Ayuan who asked him to replace the Shenling Flower with Lingxiang Grass. With such a big handle, Gong Ziyu will most likely bring him to the elders to make trouble.

Manager Jia testified against A Yuan in court. A Yuan could not bear this kind of anger, so his words and actions were inevitably impulsive. Manager Jia then made it impossible to prove his wrongdoing...

Gong Ziyu is not willing to give in, and the elders will only speak on the side of the blade holder. Given my brother's personality, I'm afraid he will push A Yuan out and put him in the dungeon for trial for the sake of so-called justice and innocence?"

Zhang Xueming imagined the scene and looked at Gong Shangjiao with narrowed eyes, his eyes unfriendly.

Gong Yuanzheng was shocked and looked at Gong Shangjiao in disbelief.

How could Gong Shangjiao admit it? He said righteously, "Absolutely impossible! I have always treated Yuan Zheng as my own brother, how could I let Yuan Zheng be wronged because of a steward's words? Besides, with Zhao Zhao here, I will never do such a thing as not distinguishing between relatives and strangers."
