Start by summoning Black Death Mou

Chapter 186
It was already noon when he came out of Gu Jixiu's study.

Gu Chen raised his head and stared at the sky for a while, and then felt that the sun was too dazzling, so he retracted his gaze, and looked at Gu Chengye who walked out with him beside him.

"Father, is the prime minister serious?"

Gu Chen's voice was flat, and his tone was different from the promise he had made in front of Gu Jixiu before.

Gu Chengye was slightly taken aback, but said nothing, nodded and said:
"It's serious. It's better to say that you have to do this. Our sage is not a good lord to get along with."

"If I conceal my identity, it will be considered 'deception'."

Gu Chen asked softly.

Gu Chengye shook his head and said:

"In fact, no matter what you do, it can already constitute the crime of deceiving the emperor. At least you have deceived Her Royal Highness. Even if you did not do it intentionally, you will not be able to escape this vortex now."

"Then if I leave now..."

"Leave the capital? Do you think you can do it now? Will Her Royal Highness let you leave? And even if you can leave, at least you should wait until after Spring Hunting. Otherwise, breaking the agreement with the princess will also be a crime."

Gu Chengye sighed.

Gu Chen frowned tightly.

No wonder it is always said that being with a monarch is like accompanying a tiger. The royal family has too many rules. In this feudal society, Gu Chen always considers the royal family's feelings in everything he does.

It is a sin to say your gender, it is a sin not to say it, it is a sin to leave, and it is also a sin not to leave if the royal family finds out that it is wrong.

Now that Gu Chen is in such a difficult situation, all he can do is to follow the princess's path to disguise.

"trouble……"

For the first time, Gu Chen felt troublesome, to the point of being a little irritable.

Gu Chengye turned his head to look at Gu Chen, and said:
"Don't think so much, first deal with Chunshou with peace of mind, and when Chunshou passes by, we will think of other ways, and before that..."

Gu Chen's gaze turned to Gu Chengye:
"Let me disguise myself as a woman?"

"It doesn't have to be. It's fine to be the same as before. You don't deny it, but you must never admit it. You have to leave a way out for yourself in everything."

Gu Chengye spoke slowly, telling Gu Chen what to do.

Gu Chen nodded, and he didn't want to continue this topic anymore, he sighed and said:

"I see, foster father, I'll go back and rest first."

"Don't rush."

Gu Chengye suddenly stopped Gu Chen.

Gu Chen raised his head and asked:

"Is something wrong?"

"Do you still remember, your second uncle?"

"...?"

Gu Chen frowned.

Second uncle?

Seeing Gu Chen's puzzled look, Gu Chengye explained in detail: "Your father's younger brother, the one who used to be an official in Bianzhou."

"... Oh, I have some impressions, what's the matter?"

"He was transferred to the capital half a year ago, but he didn't live in Gu's residence. Now there are only a few of you left in the entire Dan'an Gu family. Are you interested in meeting him?"

Gu Chengye asked tentatively.

There are not many surviving members of Dan'an Gu's family, Gu Chen is one, and Gu Chen's cheap brother Gu Jiangwen is one.

But there was another one, the younger brother of Gu Chengping, who was the background of the Dan'an Gu family, was also a survivor of the Gu family.

The younger brother of the Patriarch of the Dan'an Gu family had been working in other states, so he couldn't come back when the Dan'an Gu family had an accident.

But he should be aware of the accident at home, but for some reason, after so long, he still didn't go back to have a look.

Now that he suddenly mentioned this uncle whom he hadn't met a few times, Gu Chen felt a little strange.

But looking at Gu Chengye's appearance, letting him meet that uncle today should not be a simple reminiscence. After thinking about it, Gu Chen nodded and said:
"also may."

"Well, then go with me, just in time for lunch."

Gu Chengye said with a light smile, and then left the Gu mansion with Gu Chen.

……

In the palace, in Zhao Muqiu's bedroom, Zhao Muqiu is choosing the dress to wear during the spring hunt.

At least it seems so.

While picking up a skirt, she asked the maid beside her:

"Lu He, how about this one?"

"His Royal Highness is beautiful and beautiful, she looks good in anything she wears."

The palace maid said with a light smile, but Zhao Muqiu said with dissatisfaction:
"Don't always say good things. Besides, this dress is not for me."

"...?"

Lu He was stunned, isn't it for the princess?

Before Lu He could ask, Zhao Muqiu continued:

"I prepared this for Ningshun. I think her body shape is about the same as mine. If I can wear clothes, she should be able to wear them too."

"This……"

Lu He blinked her eyes and said, "Your Highness, this is not very good, Mr. Gu...you don't seem to like these things very much."

"Whether you like it or not, it's such a big deal for Spring Hunting, even if she doesn't like it, she has to dress properly, and..."

Zhao Muqiu held the clothes in his hands, stared at them for a while, and said to Lu He: "...Don't you think she is very similar to the queen mother?"

"..."

Lu He's eyes widened at this moment, she scanned the surroundings in panic, almost kneeling down for Zhao Muqiu, and said with some trepidation:

"Your Highness! This...you can't talk nonsense about this kind of thing! If the Holy Majesty hears about it..."

"..."

Zhao Muqiu didn't speak, she just stared at the clothes in her hand in a daze.

The clothes that Zhao Muqiu chose at this moment seem to be similar to the ones he usually wears in terms of style, but only Zhao Muqiu and those who are familiar with the queen know that the appearance of these clothes is roughly the same as the clothes worn by the queen during her lifetime.

Picking out these clothes and planning to let Gu Chen wear them, Zhao Muqiu's thoughts are already self-evident.

Holding the clothes in a daze for a while, Zhao Muqiu finally chose a dark-colored dress among a bunch of clothes to pick up.

She asked Lu He to put the dress on, and then said:
"Come on, let's go out of the palace."

"Your Highness... but you want to go to Mr. Gu again?"

"Of course! Staying in the palace is also boring, so I went to play with Ning Shun, and by the way... Let her try on clothes."

Holding the clothes, Zhao Muqiu showed a smile on his face, looking very much looking forward to it.

……

The place where Gu Chen met his second uncle was in the best restaurant in the capital.

The Anbu led by Danzo also gathered near the restaurant.

Jiebiao Danxi followed Gu Chen into the restaurant, and Danzo and others were on standby nearby, secretly protecting Gu Chen.

Although this was just an ordinary meeting, with no ghosts around, Gu Chen could only feel a sense of security if he felt the presence of Danzo and others.

Danzo already knew Gu Chen's concern for his own life.

But he has no extra thoughts. After all, this is not the world of Hokage, and he doesn't need to secretly plan for the position of Hokage. Without the concern of Hokage, Danzo himself doesn't have much desire for power.

He has been working hard all his life to be able to become Hokage. When this goal disappears, Danzo can only place his sustenance on another person.

Gu Chen is Danzang's current sustenance.

So the more Gu Chen cares about his own life, the more satisfied Danzo will be, and will do everything possible to protect Gu Chen.

Although this is not in line with his style of life, he has worked hard for a goal all his life, so it seems okay to relax after death.

Danzo, who was hiding in the dark, used ninjutsu to observe the situation in the restaurant, thinking about this in his heart.

But what surprised Danzo was that there was no problem in the restaurant, but an accident happened to the Anbu he led.

"...someone is missing? What's going on?"

The members of Anbe who had been given the seal of [Tongue Eradication] half-kneeled aside to report to Danzo.

Just as Danzo and other Anbu members were pretending to be ordinary people nearby to protect Gu Chen, someone suddenly disappeared.

It was an Anbu disguised as a cake vendor, and his task was to patrol around the restaurant to see if there was any suspicious person approaching here.

On the first lap, nothing special happened.

But when he went around the second circle, the person in charge of the joint found that he was missing.

After contacting through Anbu's special means, and the figure of this person could not be found, the members of Anbu realized that something was wrong, and immediately came to report to Danzo.

Seeing Danzo frowning and asking, the Anbu member who reported said in a low voice:

"I don't know. We have followed his patrol route to find it, but we still found nothing."

"Is it related to the imperial court? Or is it related to Pinghu Division?"

"I haven't seen anyone from the imperial court or Pinghu Division nearby, so it should have nothing to do with them."

Anbu members answered truthfully.

Danzo looked up at the restaurant, then lowered his head and thought:

"Take me to see, you continue to protect the president."

"Yes!"

The members of Anbu took the order, and then cast the teleportation technique to leave the place.

These Anbu members are the most talented disciples selected by Danzo from Liuguangmen.

They are young and highly sensitive to chakra. After mastering chakra, they can quickly combine ninjutsu with their own martial arts to form a brand new body art.

Through this physical technique, some of them can easily master the technique of instant body.

Although the teleportation distance of this instant body technique is not far, it can also be used in daily life or even in actual combat.

And now Anbu, who was brought to the capital by Danzo to protect Gu Chen, was all such elites who had mastered the technique of instant body.

That's why Danzo cares so much when someone goes missing.

These people have been given the seal of [Tongue Eradication], which can ensure that they can't tell the news about Danzo and Gu Chen, even if they are caught, it doesn't matter.

But this is an elite that Danzang has worked so hard to cultivate, and just lost a person like this, so Danzang has to find out the reason.

After all, now in the capital, Danzo has no chance to train new elites, and every elite who masters the technique of instant body is very important.

Danzo's method of finding this person is the same as other Anbu's. He is going to follow the patrol route of the missing person first, and then think of other ways.

Originally, Danzo didn't expect to find anything useful. After all, Anbu had searched twice and failed to find any clues, so he came back to look for Danzo.

But what I didn't expect was that Danzo had just circled around and saw something different from what these Anbu members saw.

It was an alley.

An alley that coincides with the patrol route.
