"I just can't tolerate betrayal." Qin Zhaoyue's eyes were glued to Gu Yue's face with a sinister look.

"You're so cruel based on a little unfounded speculation." Gu Yue's face was not looking good. "How cruel."

"What's wrong?" Qin Zhaoyue laughed: "You look very angry! Aren't you good at acting? Fox Fairy... Hahahaha, your excuses are so poor, and this will be the result in the end!"

He looked up and down at Gu Yue who was standing by the campfire, his eyes fixed on his face for a long time: "Is this your true appearance? I really wronged you. You have been pretending to be Gu Dashi for many years and actually fooled everyone! It's a pity that you will not be able to get what you want!"

"You are really crazy." Gu Yue said in a low voice.

Because of such a small suspicion...

The pool of blood reflected the firelight, so red that it was blinding.

Qin Zhaoyue's chest was covered in splattered blood, which dotted his distorted face. In the firelight, he looked like a demon.

"How come Lu Tianyun has made new friends in such a short time since he rebelled?" Qin Zhaoyue said, "Someone is actually sad for him. Gu Dashi, you look so hypocritical - Lu Tianyun is already dead, who are you acting for, me?"

He raised his head slightly, and even though he was sitting on the ground, he still looked disdainful.

Gu Yue clenched the dagger in his hand.

"Lu Tianyun didn't betray you." He pointed at Lu Tianyun on the ground. "When I found him, he was seriously injured and had just escaped. He was determined to go to Luoyang and refused to rest for a moment! He risked his life to save you from the East Palace and even left his family behind, and you treat him like this?!"

"You think..." Qin Zhaoyue said with sarcasm on his face.

"Don't quibble!" Gu Yue interrupted him harshly, "You are just making excuses for your suspicion. It's you who don't trust him, not him who betrayed you! Qin Zhaoyue, I know you know the truth!"

Lu Tianyun's face was hidden in the shadows as he lay prone, and his expression could not be seen.

But Gu Yue knew very well that he was dead.

He even wondered for a moment if this was a plan by the master and servant, to use fake death to stimulate him to reveal his identity? But Qin Zhaoyue's state was obviously not right, he was simply crazy.

Qin Zhaoyue remained silent for a long time, then suddenly said, "Sit down."

Gu Yue looked at him and didn't move.

"Have you ever been an official?" Qin Zhaoyue did not force him. He just leaned back and said with a smile as if they were just chatting casually, "No? A soft-hearted person like you who would even sympathize with a traitor or a former enemy naturally cannot hold great power."

Gu Yue was looking at Qin Zhaoyue.

He didn't know what Qin Zhaoyue was thinking, and didn't know what other plans he had after killing Lu Tianyun. Would he be the next target? After all, it was well known that Gu Dashi didn't know any martial arts, so Qin Zhaoyue was confident that it was not impossible for him to be killed.

Is he leaving now?

Gu Xuruo had a backup plan, so it was impossible for him not to send people to follow them, but those people have not shown up yet...

Qin Zhaoyue gripped the dagger tightly, his eyes moving, taking in Gu Yue's expression.

As expected, his guess should be correct.

"People who hold power must be hard-hearted." Qin Zhaoyue laughed hoarsely, "Don't trust anyone easily. I already understand... Father's teachings are indeed correct. Don't trust anyone easily..."

Gu Yue thought it was ridiculous: "Lu Tianyun and you grew up together, and you don't even trust him?"

"Naive." Qin Zhaoyue exhaled, "Gu Xu knows the layout of the East Palace very well, and he even knows some confidential matters in advance. I can't help but doubt these people. What's more..."

"No one doesn't want to be an emperor... even childhood playmates! For a person like Qin Shu who lives a carefree life, do you know how much food and weapons he has secretly stored, and how many private soldiers he has in Huaizhong? When we found out, we were really shocked!"

"The Su family is so powerful that they can support someone to be the emperor with just one sentence, and all the students in the world will take sides. Naturally, they will want to turn the tables." Qin Zhaoyue said, "The Jing family is even more so... They probably guessed what I meant, and they even teamed up with Gu Xu to harm me... Hehe..."

What does this have to do with the Jing family? Gu Yue was stunned: "The Jing family and Lu Tianyun are on the same boat with you. What good will it bring them to betray you? If it were you, would you abandon the orthodoxy of Northern Qin and choose someone else?"

"The desire for power is boundless. It seems that you really don't understand." Qin Zhaoyue seemed to say to herself in pain: "No one will be loyal to me forever... Lu Tianyun is like this, and Gu Xu is also..."

Gu Yue took a deep breath: "If you hadn't tried to gain trust by deceiving people back then... Gu Xu wouldn't hate you so much."

Qin Zhaoyue looked at him without saying anything.

As soon as Gu Yue said this, he realized that something was wrong. Gu Xu in this life was not deceived, so Qin Zhaoyue was naturally very aggrieved.

Qin Zhaoyue smiled: "Although I had such an idea, I didn't do it in the end."

"You didn't do it, or someone plotted against you halfway and you had to stop it all?" Gu Yue straightened his lips, "You didn't really treat him sincerely, so he naturally wouldn't really treat you sincerely! No, even if someone really treated you sincerely, there would be no good result."

Lu Tianyun’s body is the evidence.

Qin Zhaoyue ignored his sarcasm and showed a curious expression: "Why would someone like you really argue with me?"

"You are abnormal. You throw your sincerity away like a worn-out shoe." Gu Yue said, "How can you be worthy of being an emperor? All the people in the world are nothing but tools for you to fight for power and profit!"

Qin Zhaoyue lowered his eyes and looked at Lu Tianyun beside him.

"This road is already covered with blood." Qin Zhaoyue said, "Some sacrifices are necessary... Lu Tianyun, he may have betrayed me, or he may not, but if I kill him, these risks will not exist."

Gu Yue’s head buzzed.

He finally couldn't help but stepped forward and grabbed Qin Zhaoyue's collar: "Just for this?! You don't even want to give him some chances, just for such a small risk, for this bullshit safety! You kill people, even if he has been your friend for more than 20 years?!"

Qin Zhaoyue opened his eyes wide, and Gu Yue’s angry face was reflected in his eyes.

It’s very close, just right now.

"I guessed right... Until now, Gu Xu's people still haven't arrived. You are very anxious, right? Gu Dashi, although you are a fake, although we don't know whether the real Gu Dashi is dead or alive, I will tell you..."

Gu Yue looked at him. Everything was red and orange, and the smell of blood and a pungent burning smell filled the air.

"I will be a good emperor, but before I sit on the throne, some sacrifices are necessary." Qin Zhaoyue grinned, "It's Gu Xu, it's your lack of cooperation that made some people's deaths meaningless..."

"What did you say?" Gu Yue's mind went blank for a moment.
