Chapter 350

Whether it was the poison hidden in the longevity lock,

or this 'Gu' baby,

they were absolutely not poisonous schemes that could be thought of by Niu Fu and Dong Yi alone.

Gu Yi needed to find the mastermind hiding behind the two.

Soon, Gu Yi summoned several death-sworn followers.

These death-sworn followers were called "Dark Guards," the intelligence unit Gu Yi had established.

They imitated the 'School Affairs Office' and the 'Brocade Guards' from original history.

In wartime, these Dark Guards would become sharp blades for spying on enemy intelligence!

And in non-wartime, they could help Gu Yi supervise the cities under his rule, keeping everything under his palm.

The efficiency of the Dark Guards was very high.

In less than an afternoon, they had already presented detailed intelligence to Gu Yi's desk.

"Yu Ji?"

"This old Daoist who was beheaded by Sun Ce in history actually came to Chang'an?"

A trace of murderous intent surfaced in Gu Yi's eyes.

Yu Ji was blown up in the romance as the true mastermind who killed Sun Ce.

But in reality,

Sun Ce's death had almost nothing to do with this fellow.

Sun Ce's true cause of death was at the hands of Xu Gong's retainers.

Xu Gong was a member of the Xu family of Wu Commandery, which could be considered the top-tier aristocratic family besides the four great aristocratic families of Jiangdong.

In other words,

the true reason for Sun Ce's death was the revenge of the Jiangdong aristocratic families.

The so-called Xu Gong retainers were just death-sworn followers sent out by the aristocratic families.

And Yu Ji,

perhaps knew some so-called Daoist arts, but not many.

In Gu Yi's eyes, Yu Ji's Daoist arts were no different from playing god and acting like a ghost.

"Have you found Yu Ji's specific residence?"

Gu Yi asked the Dark Guard captain.

"Reporting to the Prime Minister, Yu Ji has been within the surveillance range of the Dark Guards at all times."

"We can capture and kill him at any time!"

Gu Yi nodded.

Subsequently, he ordered Huang Zhong to go to Yu Ji's residence together with the Dark Guards.

Huang Zhong had been under Gu Yi's command for three or four years.

He was loyal to Gu Yi.

His son, Huang Xu, had now recovered under Gu Yi's careful arrangements.

Moreover, Huang Zhong himself, under Gu Yi's appointment, had also become a high-ranking military general in the Dong Zhuo army.

Hearing that Yu Ji wanted to secretly harm Dong Bai and the unborn child, Huang Zhong was instantly so angry that his eyes were scarlet.

He swore to use his precious carved bow to shoot Yu Ji to death!

……

In a certain residence south of Chang'an City.

Yu Ji and the Dark Guards were in a standoff.

Surrounded by the Dark Guards, Yu Ji had nowhere to escape.

He had wanted to play god and act like a ghost through his own "immortal arts."

But before he could even start performing,

the arrow in Huang Zhong's hand had already flown toward him like a life-taking lock!

"Pfft!"

Yu Ji's forehead was instantly pierced by the arrow.

His pupils dilated enormously.

Before he died, he seemed to still be thinking, why didn't the "immortal arts" work...

Playing god and acting like a ghost, he ultimately lost his life here.

What makes one sigh with emotion is that

this fellow was already at death's door, yet before he died, he was still thinking about showing off one more time through so-called "immortal arts."
