Crazy criticism of villains: She is good at attracting hatred

In the center of Keio Castle, the red-tiled, golden-roofed imperial palace has stood quietly here for a thousand years.

In a luxuriously decorated palace in the imperial palace, two middle-aged men were sitting opposite each other playing chess.

One of them was wearing a dragon robe and a golden crown on his head, and his every move and gesture exuded the majesty of a superior.

The other man was wearing an indigo-blue military officer's robe, had a stern expression on his face, and his hands were as thick as tree trunks. He was obviously a veteran who had fought on the battlefield for many years!

The two men sat opposite each other, playing chess and chatting about something.

Suddenly, a man dressed as a eunuch walked into the hall with his body bowed, knelt down, and then spoke respectfully.

"Your Majesty, the latest battle report shows that Young Marquis Ji was defeated by Gu Gugu. Old Marquis Ji has appeared and wants to fight Gu Gugu to the last."

After hearing the eunuch's report, the middle-aged man in dragon robe waved his hand.

"Explore again."

"Yes!"

After seeing the eunuch retreat respectfully, the man turned around and looked at the general beside him and smiled.

"Tongyao, how many moves do you think it will take for Lao Ji to defeat Gu Gugu?"

The person who asked the question was none other than the most powerful person in the entire Jingwang City—Emperor Jing Zhou Ping.

The general beside him was none other than the renowned number one master on the external list, Li Tongyao, the Master of the Heaven-Sealing Hammer!

Upon hearing this, Li Tongyao just smiled and shook his head.

"Three moves, maybe not even three."

"Oh?"

Hearing Li Tongyao's words, Emperor Jing immediately became interested.

"According to the eunuch's report, Gu Gugu severely injured Ji Yun without even drawing his sword."

“Although Ji Yun is only in his thirties, Guangwu has cultivated to the 80th level. Gu Gugu was able to seriously injure him with one kick, so he should be ranked in the top ten of the outer list.”

After hearing Emperor Jing's analysis, Li Tongyao nodded at first, but then shook his head.

"Your Majesty, I have no doubt that Gu Gugu can be ranked in the top ten of the outer list, but there are also gaps between the top ten. If I want to kill the tenth one, three hammers will be enough."

“But even for me, it’s easy to defeat Ji Jiuyou, but if I want to kill him, the success rate is not very high.”

While listening to Li Tongyao's analysis, Emperor Jing picked up a chess piece and placed it on the chessboard.

"Then do you dare to make a bet with me?"

"What does the emperor want to bet on?"

"Let's bet on how many moves Lao Ji needs to subdue Gu Gugu!"

As Emperor Jing spoke, he took his hand off the chessboard and stretched out two fingers.

"I think it will take Old Ji at least twenty moves to subdue Gu Gugu."

Li Tongyao also became interested after hearing this.

"I am not contradicting the emperor's interest, twenty moves are really too many, so I will guess... five moves!"

Although Emperor Jing was optimistic about Gu Gugu, neither he nor Li Tongyao thought that Gu Gugu could win.

The two of them looked relaxed, as if they were just chatting after dinner.

It’s not that they look down on Gu Gugu. When facing a well-known strong man like Ji Jiuyou, a newcomer like Gu Gugu is still too young in their eyes.

Saying that she could withstand twenty moves from Ji Jiuyou was already a great compliment to him.

Just as the two were chatting and laughing, there was suddenly a burst of hurried footsteps outside.

In the palace, no matter what you do, you must remain quiet and never disturb the emperor.

So under normal circumstances, such hurried footsteps were extremely rare.

This series of footsteps naturally attracted the attention of the two people in the house.

When the two of them looked carefully, they found a eunuch with a pale face walking quickly into the hall and bowing to Emperor Jing.

"Your Majesty!"

From the tone of his voice, there was some trembling in it.

When Emperor Jing saw how panicked the eunuch was, his face turned cold.

How did the Ministry of Internal Affairs train the eunuchs? Why did they send a eunuch who could not even speak with a stutter to report the news? !

Seeing that Emperor Jing looked unhappy, Li Tongyao on the side immediately reacted and shouted at the eunuch.

"Why are you so alarmed?"

The eunuch who brought the news knelt on the ground, not daring to look up. He just trembled and stammered.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Old Marquis Ji, he's dead!"

"what?!"

After hearing the eunuch's report, both Emperor Jing and Li Tongyao's faces changed and they stood up suddenly!

The chessboard on the table instantly overturned due to their violent movements, and the black and white chess pieces fell to the ground like jade beads.

But neither of them had time to care.

At this moment, the expressions of the two people who heard this huge change were even more exciting than that of the eunuch who reported the news.

"What the hell is going on? Wasn't Ji Jiuyou preparing to fight Gu Gugu just now? How come he died so quickly?!"

Li Tongyao came back to his senses and asked repeatedly, his tone full of disbelief.

After hearing Li Tongyao's words, Emperor Jing, who was standing there in a daze, also hurriedly asked.

"Yeah, the fight hadn't even started yet. How come he died so soon?!"

Li Tongyao's eyes shook several times, and then he asked repeatedly as if he remembered a possibility.

“Could it be that there is an inner list expert backing Gu Gugu up, and it was that inner list expert who killed Ji Jiuyou?!”

When Li Tongyao said this, his tone was extremely serious.

Before, they looked at the battle between Gu Gugu and Ji Jiuyou as just watching the fun.

However, if Gu Gugu has a strong person on the inner list backing her up, they will have to reconsider their attitude towards Gu Gugu.

After all, any strong person on the inner list is a legendary existence!

Even Emperor Jing would never want to offend a master of the inner list!

The eunuch became even more nervous when he saw that the two important figures were staring at him intently.

"No...no...it's not..."

"Hey, what is it? Tell me!"

Li Tongyao really couldn't wait any longer, and didn't care that the emperor was still beside him. He rushed forward a few steps, grabbed the eunuch by the collar and pulled him up!

"Say it!"

Hearing Li Tongyao's almost roaring voice, the eunuch turned pale, and after stuttering for a long time, he finally forced out a few words from his throat with difficulty.

"No,...the person who killed...the one who killed the old marquis...was...Gu Gugu!"

Emperor Jing and Li Tongyao's faces changed drastically when they heard this!

Then the two of them looked at each other, and saw an unconcealable shock in each other's eyes!

Gu Gugu?!

She could kill Ji Jiuyou who was ranked third on the outer list? !

How old is she? !

Is this eunuch crazy, or is this world crazy? !

At this moment, both Emperor Jing and Li Tongyao fell into silence, and it was obvious that they didn't know what to say for a moment.

Although they had nothing more to say, the eunuch had not yet finished speaking.

He just stretched out a trembling finger and spoke in a trembling voice as if he was explaining something extremely terrifying.

"And...and...she...she only struck out once...!"
