The sect is full of evildoers, but I am the eldest brother.

Even the Ghost King has appeared. It seems that the fate of the Dragon Dynasty is indeed in trouble...

Gu Junming thought to himself.

Could this have anything to do with the little princess?

Just as Gu Junming was thinking about it.

Xiao Jianxin was also thinking.

The imperial teacher said that the little princess was the key to preventing all tragedies, but in this extraordinary period, someone actually did not fear the authority of the Dalong Dynasty and openly kidnapped Princess Yongning.

Does this mean...

The other party also knows something, so he doesn't want the Dalong Dynasty to restore its former prosperity?

However, the Dalong royal family has always been friendly with the outside world, advocates peace, and will not use force unless necessary.

A force that dares to face the authority of the Dalong Dynasty.

It’s just those few.

Bailian Pavilion and Mingshen Sect are far away in the Western Heaven Region and have no conflicts of interest, so they can be eliminated first.

The same goes for the major families with long histories in the Nanwu Domain. They each have their own established foundations and have no need to covet others.

Only one tenth of the Beixuan Territory remains now, and its vitality has been severely damaged.

Even the Central Plains... probably wouldn't look down on this place.

Xiao Jianxin's brows furrowed even tighter.

Could it be the Hundred Flowers Palace?

The previous Palace Master of Hua Palace was expelled a few years ago, and now it is time to recruit a new one. Could it be that he wants to use his own means to swallow up the Dalong Dynasty in one step?

But this is even more impossible. Putting aside whether they are qualified or not, based on the alliance between the Dalong Dynasty and the Baihua Palace, they will naturally not choose to sit idly by.

What’s more, the emperor’s teacher of the dynasty was from Liyang Academy.

Who else is there...

Xiao Jianxin subconsciously picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of fried dumpling on the table, put it into his mouth, and thought while eating.

"Master Xiao, don't you have a plate in front of you? Why are you stretching your arm so far to grab what's in Old Gu's bowl?"

"What?! Holy shit, I'm frying dumplings!"

"Ahem..." Xiao Jianxin was choked for some reason and quickly waved his hand to apologize, "Sorry, Senior Brother, I was so engrossed in my thoughts just now that I didn't pay attention..."

"Kenshin, is there something on your mind?"

Zhang Daoxu asked kindly, "I still have some, help yourself to some, don't mind that stingy little brother."

"What a mess..."

Gu Junming was speechless.

"I specifically told you that my portion is super spicy. Can't you handle spicy food, second brother?"

"Huh?" Xiao Jianxin's face froze, and his expression turned visibly crimson, blushing on the spot.

The spiciness was getting to him, and he blew air into his mouth while frantically looking for water.

"Hey, calm down, it's just a little spicy."

Gu Junming picked up the kettle beside him and poured a bowl of water for Xiao Jianxin slowly, saying with a smile:

"This kind of spiciness is so intense that Junior Sister doesn't even blink an eye."

"You're a grown man, is it really that serious?"

Xiao Jianxin took the bowl of water with a red face and couldn't wait to pour it into his mouth.

"Old Gu, this isn't a question of whether it's necessary or not. Some people just can't handle spicy food, just like they can't eat cilantro!"

Xu Miaoer said seriously.

"Who told him to eat from the bowl and look at the pot?"

Gu Junming couldn't help but sneered, "I was sitting the farthest away from you, and there was only one left, and it was super spicy, yet you ate the last one."

"Remember this. While looking forward, don't forget the path ahead."

"If you're not careful, your butt will get hurt~"

This was originally a joke from Gu Junming, but after hearing it, Xiao Jianxin was suddenly stunned.

He even forgot the burning pain in his throat and suddenly stood up with a bang, scaring everyone.

Gu Junming was embarrassed: "Second brother, I was just joking, there is no need to take it so seriously, right?"

"No, Big Brother, I... cough cough..."

The spicy taste got stuck in Xiao Jianxin's throat, making his voice hoarse and causing him to cough repeatedly.

Gu Junming had no choice but to pick up the kettle on the chair beside him and hand it to Xiao Jianxin.

"Drink some water to slow down. If you can't, the shop sells goat milk, which can relieve the pain to a certain extent."

"Wow! Is it really possible?"

Xu Miaoer was immediately shocked:

"Old Gu, you know a lot. Did you figure this out on your own?"

"I didn't realize, Brother Gu, you're quite good at this!"

Zhang Daoxu also followed suit with praise.

"You're too kind." Gu Junming smiled calmly, "A friend told me... He also said that spiciness is actually a pain sensation rather than a taste sensation. Drinking something with fat or protein can effectively reduce the spiciness."

"That's amazing! But what is protein...?"

"It should be something related to eggs."

Xiao Jianxin drank a pot of water frantically, and his complexion finally returned to normal.

He gasped for breath, wiped the water stains from the corners of his mouth, and said, "Brother, I understand!"

"I understand. Next time, you can carry a bottle of goat's milk with you to prevent this kind of accidental ingestion."

Xiao Jianxin: “…”

He will pay attention next time.

Just a moment ago, Gu Junming's words successfully awakened Xiao Jianxin. He was eating from the bowl and thinking about the pot, and he fell into this misunderstanding.

After thinking about it, I ruled out most of the options, but I forgot the most important one.

That is the Dragon Dynasty!

The conclusion that Ji Xiaqing could prevent all tragedies was reached within the Dalong Dynasty, and only people within the Dalong Dynasty knew this secret.

He overlooked the most crucial point.

The Great Dragon Royal Family is not united, and the "Little Dragon Emperor" is a typical example!

Some people want to take advantage of the chaos to overthrow the Dalong royal family.

Establish a new king!

The most likely person among them is the one behind the left front guard. Zuo Duo himself was born in Qi Shi Mansion and was the child of an old poisoner who was among the first group of people to enter.

The Qi Shi Mansion is under the control of the "Little Dragon Emperor".

Consider the complicated relationship between Little Dragon Emperor Ji Cang and the Lord of the Great Dragon Kingdom.

I guess he is the one manipulating everything in secret!

The truth has gradually surfaced.

The next thing to do is to confirm it.

"Brother!" Xiao Jianxin said anxiously, "I have a clue. I am ready to set off for Da..."

"Brother, the local evil spirits are causing such a ferocious disturbance. This is closely related to the fate of the dynasty."

"That's exactly what I was thinking! ...Brother, to be honest, I'm planning to go to the Imperial City and take a look around. It's been a while since we last met. Let's go for a stroll together."

"this......"

Gu Jun was obviously hesitant.

"What's this? Can you bear to see the people suffer?" Zhang Daoxu raised his eyebrows and said seriously, "Brother, don't forget that you used to be a demon hunter."

"You're a monster hunter for one day, you're a monster hunter for the rest of your life!"

"Well, since you said so, I can't refuse your kindness. Let's go to the Royal City for a walk. But..."

Gu Junming scratched the back of his head:

"You can see what I'm like now. I might not be able to help you at the critical moment."

"Take these ten improved 'Five Thunder Heart Talismans' for now. If you really have some free time, use them to satisfy your craving!"
