A weak cold wind swept over, and dark clouds suddenly covered the bright moon.
Xu Xiao ordered people to bury the body of the man in black and left the backyard, heading to Tingchao Pavilion alone.
After limping for a long way, we finally arrived at Tingchao Pavilion.
At this time, Li Yishan was still asleep and was writing something on the paper with a frown.
Seeing Xu Xiao walking up slowly, he stopped what he was doing and said calmly.
"Zhao Kai has died in Beiliang, right?"
Xu Xiao planned to send someone to rescue the second prince Zhao Kai, and he naturally knew it.
Seeing the troubled look on the face of the Northern Liang King, he instantly guessed the outcome of this matter.
If not, he wouldn't have come looking for her in the middle of the night.
Xu Xiao sighed helplessly and nodded.
"That kid broke through to the Zhixuan realm. All the people I sent out were killed by him. Zhao Kai and Han Diao Si were not spared."
Hear this.
Li Yishan was stunned for a moment, and was extremely shocked by Gu Qingfeng's rapid breakthrough.
After all, he had never seen a warrior who could cross several realms in such a short period of time and reach the realm of Zhixuan in one step.
But when I thought that Gu Qingfeng could be valued by a peerless swordsman like Li Chungang, and regard him as a friend who has never forgotten.
The shock in Li Yishan's eyes dissipated a bit.
"With such amazing martial arts talent, what do those so-called favored men of heaven count?"
"The Xu family has indeed lost a treasure..."
As he said this, he couldn't help but feel a sense of regret in his heart.
If I had been more patient when deducing the celestial phenomena and prevented the King of Northern Liang from making such a decisive decision, perhaps the Xu family would not be in the current situation.
For such an amazing swordsmanship talent, not only to save the Xu family, but also to take the Xu family to a higher level and become the first family in the history, it is not necessarily impossible!
After thinking for a long time.
Li Yishan focused his eyes on Xu Xiao and said slowly.
"The prince is filled with overwhelming murderous intent. He must have made a decision in his heart, so there is no need to discuss it with me anymore, right?"
Having followed Xu Xiao for many years, Li Yishan knew him very well.
The second prince Zhao Kai died in Beiliang. No matter whether the Liyang royal family disapproved of the emperor's illegitimate son, they would still make a show of angering the Xu family.
The power of the Xu family has been greatly reduced, and it will become more difficult for the eldest son Xu Fengnian to take over Beiliang in the future.
And the culprit of all this is Gu Qingfeng!
Moreover, judging from his growth rate, he will definitely become a huge threat to the revitalization of the Xu family.
Only by getting rid of him as soon as possible can the Xu family reduce more troubles.
Faced with what Li Yishan said.
Xu Xiao's face showed a deeper look of helplessness.
"If he is still just a ninth-grade warrior, I may not take action against him."
"But now his cultivation level has greatly increased, and he has reached the realm of Zhixuan in the blink of an eye. He also killed Zhao Kai in Beiliang and brought great disaster to our Xu family!"
"If we let him continue to grow, our Xu family will most likely be destroyed by his hands in the future!"
As he spoke, his eyes trembled slightly and he said thoughtfully.
"That move may have been wrong from the beginning."
Li Yishan hesitated for a moment and asked calmly.
"Your Majesty, there is something I don't know whether to say or not."
Xu Xiao nodded slightly.
"But it doesn't matter."
After getting the permission from the King of Northern Liang, Li Yishan no longer hid it, and spoke out what was in his heart.
"The prince first regarded himself as a chess player, but he didn't know that he was actually caught in the chess game."
"You have played chess with me for many years and regretted it constantly, but I never said anything."
"But the moment you regard Gu Qingfeng as an abandoned son, it means that the Xu family will eventually face this disaster."
"You will never regret this move."
Hear this.
Xu Xiao's face was full of bitterness, and he felt that Li Yishan's words were like a knife piercing his heart wantonly, making him extremely uncomfortable.
After a while, he calmed down and said.
"If I don't do this, I won't be able to intimidate the Liyang royal family, and the Xu family will inevitably be destroyed faster."
"At this point, for Fengnian, for the Xu family, for the people of Beiliang... I can only bite the bullet and finish this move!"
After saying this, his eyes gradually regained their sharpness, and his murderous intent returned.
Li Yishan knew that Gu Qingfeng was a huge threat to the Xu family, so he frowned slightly and said.
"That boy's strength has greatly increased now. It's not that simple to kill him."
"Besides, he has the protection of a swordsman like Li Chungang. If he learns that the prince killed Gu Qingfeng, I'm afraid the Xu family will not be able to bear his anger."
Xu Xiao thought about it for a while, his eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light, and he said coldly.
"Of course I know this."
"Therefore, if I want to get rid of that kid, I must find a master who is extremely powerful and can escape Li Chungang's pursuit."
Hear this.
Li Yishan was slightly startled, and instantly realized who the master Xu Xiao was talking about was.
Not only can he easily kill Gu Qingfeng who has reached the Zhixuan realm, but he can also avoid Li Chungang's pursuit. Only the spear master known as Xiaoren Tu can do this!
After being stunned for a long time, he asked with some confusion.
"Although that boy is the adopted son of the prince, he may not offend Li Chungang for the Xu family. What does the prince plan to do?"
Xu Xiao closed his eyes tightly and responded lightly.
"That boy has a deep admiration for Wei Xiong. When he learned that I was going to betroth Wei Xiong to Gu Qingfeng, he almost went into the palace with a gun to seize her."
"This shows that he is willing to do anything for the Weixiong."
"Before I get rid of Gu Qingfeng, I will let him betray Beiliang and become my enemy. As long as he cuts off all ties with me, Li Chungang will definitely not blame me."
"After the matter is completed, I will let Weixiong follow him and leave Beiliang."
Hear Xu Xiao's explanation.
Li Yishan's pupils suddenly shrank and he couldn't help but speak.
"What a great move to kill someone with a borrowed knife!"
"My lord, if you do this, aren't you afraid that the prince will blame you?"
He knew that Xu Xiao planned to use Xu Weixiong as a bargaining chip and the spear master as a scapegoat to get rid of Gu Qingfeng for him and bear Li Chungang's wrath.
No poison, no husband!
But the second princess is the second sister of the crown prince Xu Fengnian after all, and the two have a deep relationship. If he knew about this, he would definitely hate Xu Xiao!
Hear the words.
Xu Xiao smiled bitterly and said helplessly.
"Everything is for the Xu family, Fengnian will understand."
"Besides, Gu Qingfeng's growth rate is so rapid that it is beyond my control. Even if I am hated by Fengnian in the future, I must do this."
"Only in this way can we prevent him from further destroying the Xu family!"
As he spoke, he looked up at the sky covered by dark clouds and muttered to himself with cold eyes.
"I can't sleep until Gu Qingfeng dies..."
