"Waste, a group of waste, on weekdays, they tout themselves as omnipotent in the heavens and the earth, but this official can't just let you out of the Governor's Palace, what else do you brag about, what's the use of this official raising you, and raising a dog is better than them." Gu Chaoru slammed his beloved snuffbox to the ground, making a crisp sound, a strong fire flashed in his eyes, and he shouted a reprimand to a middle-aged man in a gray robe not far away.

"My lord, it's not that they don't work hard, but the opponent is too cunning, no matter what tricks they use, as if the opponent had already guessed what measures they would take, and directly crashed into the pocket of the opponent's arrangement, so they will break their hands again and again." Listening to Gu Chaoru losing his temper, the middle-aged look in the gray robe did not fluctuate in the slightest, and there was no expression on his face, as if Gu Chaoru said that he didn't talk about his own people, and said very calmly.

"The official doesn't care, you have to know that once the official returns to Jinling, it means that the official's career has gone to a strange road, even if the second prince wants to come forward to protect the official, it is far away from the water and can't save the fire, besides, the second prince may not dare to call the emperor out in this matter." Hearing the words of the middle-aged man in the gray robe, Gu Chaoru's tone calmed down a little, or with his own venting, the anger in his heart also leaked out, so his speech was no longer so extreme.

"My lord, it is not easy for Shen Yan to overthrow the adult, although Shen Yan has won the trust and respect of the emperor, but in the layout of the entire court, the emperor will not be too partial to Shen Yan." A touch of calmness flashed in the eyes of the middle-aged man in the gray robe, as if he didn't believe that Shen Yan could bring down Gu Chaoru, who had experienced the ups and downs of the Huan Sea for almost thirty years, if Gu Chaoru was so good, he would have been overthrown by his opponent long ago, so why let Shen Yan pick up this big bargain.

"Don't underestimate this Shen Yan." Hearing the gray robe middle-aged words with a hint of disapproval, Gu Chaoru's eyes flashed a complicated look, at the beginning, he was just because he didn't put Shen Yan in his eyes, so he was easily caught by Shen Yan with some pigtails, and was forcibly detained by Shen Yan, otherwise, why would he send people out of the Governor's Mansion again and again, and use his connections to effectively fight back.

"My lord, do you want to send someone to do him?" As the middle-aged man in the gray robe said this, his right hand gently swiped in front of his throat.

"Did him?" Hearing the murderous words of the middle-aged man in the gray robe, Gu Chaoru's brows furrowed slightly, and with a look of doubt, he said slowly.

"He has Ouchi guards by his side, and I heard that his own skills are also very powerful, you make sure that your subordinates can secretly kill him, don't make it wrong not to kill him, but to add another charge against this official."

"The Ouchi guards are not cabbages in the vegetable market, the emperor sent several Ouchi guards, the main thing is to protect the eighteen princes, as long as they are deployed properly, there will be no such opportunity." A trace of confidence flashed in the eyes of the middle-aged man in the gray robe, and a cold killing intent appeared on his face, and he said softly.

"As for his skills, these are just rumors, and sometimes the rumors may not be true, even if he is very good, this time I will secretly follow, if he is really as good as the rumors, then I will do it myself, as for the others, they will delay the so-called Ouchi master by the way."

"It is true that there is a great possibility of success with your own action, but this official thinks you should not be too careless." Hearing that the middle-aged man in the gray robe was going to make a move in person, Gu Chaoru's eyes flashed with a hint of intention, the middle-aged man in the gray robe was unfathomable, and he had helped himself secretly deal with many strong opponents over the years, and he had never missed.

"Don't worry, my lord, I'm not a reckless person." The corners of the middle-aged man in the gray robe showed an indifferent sneer.

"The most powerful master around Shen Yan should be Gao Yong among the inner guards, but once he faces me, he will only lose." A hint of indifferent disdain flashed in the eyes of the middle-aged man in a gray robe, as if he had suddenly thought of something, and then added.

"A month ago, Xu Yuanfeng, who was under the eldest prince, chased Qiu Mubai, who was protected by Gao Yong, with two companions, because of some account books in Jiangnan County, and finally caught up in the grove in the east of Lingnan County, Xu Yuanfeng and Gao Yong fought each other, although Xu Yuanfeng was not Gao Yong's opponent at that time, but the difference in strength was not particularly large, otherwise, Gao Yong would have been crushed and stood in front of Xu Yuanfeng, instead of finally getting a lose-lose ending." The middle-aged man in the gray robe said this, a faint but confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then said slowly.

"Through this incident, it can be seen that Gao Yong's skills are not much stronger than Xu Yuanfeng, and once Xu Yuanfeng meets me, he will only be seconded, therefore, Gao Yong meets me, and it is almost the end of being seconded, so it is very likely that Shen Yan will be killed secretly."

"Since you're so sure, give it a try." Hearing the confident look of the middle-aged man in the gray robe, the movement in Gu Chaoru's eyes became even stronger.

"My lord, I have always had a doubt in my heart, I don't know whether to ask?" With Gu Chaoru's consent, a smile appeared on the corner of the middle-aged man in a gray robe, and then he seemed to think of a doubt, and couldn't help but break the agreement with Gu Chaoru and asked.

"Although you are not a subordinate of this official, you are the most important partner of this official, although there is a corresponding agreement between us, however, since you have spoken, then you can ask directly." Hearing the words of the middle-aged man in the gray robe, Gu Chaoru's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, this didn't seem to be the usual performance of the middle-aged in the gray robe.

"My lord, it is not particularly difficult to get out of the governor's palace with my skills, why didn't my lord let me go to the relevant personnel with my lord's tokens, secretly prepare, and fight back at a critical time, instead of letting those people in the palace find various reasons to leave again and again?" A faint doubt flashed in the eyes of the middle-aged man in the gray robe, and he slowly expressed the doubts in his heart.

"As the official said just now, you are the most important partner of the official, and before the matter comes to the last moment, the official will not easily send you out, as for letting the people in the mansion go out again and again, it is also the official's intention, the purpose is to confuse Shen Yan, so that Shen Yan can relax his surveillance of the official, so as to find the best time and send the most suitable manpower." Hearing the question of the middle-aged man in the gray robe, a hearty smile appeared on the corner of Gu Chaoru's mouth, and he said slowly with a hint of kindness and sincerity.

In fact, Gu Chaoru is ready to use and guard against the gray caftan middle-aged, after all, the gray caftan middle-aged is not his subordinate, in addition to this reason, Gu Chaoru also has a greater consideration, that is, for his own safety, Gu Chaoru is afraid of Shen Yan, no, to be precise, he is worried that Xia Yuanxu will be unfavorable to himself in this process, with the secret protection of the gray caftan middle-aged, Shen Yan does not dare to do anything to himself.
