Chương 576: Chapter 556: Scheming Heart (Second Update)

After listening to Zhou Gu's strategy, Ye Guixue fell into silence.

Zhou Gu was not in a hurry, giving him time to ponder. He laid out the pros and cons clearly. Ye Guixue was a smart man; he naturally understood the severity of the current situation and the importance of the safety of the Nanchu King.

After a while, Ye Guixue asked Zhou Gu, "Lord Thursday, did you come to seek my help because the two of you could not sneak the king out of the Palace unnoticed?"

Zhou Gu admitted, "Yes."

Ye Guixue deliberated: "According to Lord Thursday's strategy, it is indeed a good plan, but I can't guard the king alongside Lord Thursday because that would make the target too large. How can I trust Lord Thursday to protect the king properly?"

Zhou Gu said, "Wouldn't the king bring his own secret guards? If Second Young Master Ye is worried, you can also assign some of your secret guards to protect the king."
