The two of them stood on the top of the tall white jade pillar, overlooking the vast and boundless capital, which was quite a bit of a pointer. Gu Xiang heard Ye Jiuzhong's sigh, and a little light shot out of his cloudy eyes, and he sighed lightly: "It's really a shame that you can think of this, you are worthy of being the prince of the previous dynasty." Yes, what the emperor's mind wants is balance, no matter which king it is, he will not let one side become stronger, but the virtuous king has been forbearance for many years, and has accumulated strength for decades, only now that he shows the essence of the virtuous king's party, the saint just wants to make up for the dead, and it is too late. To tell the truth, the talent of the virtuous king is really several times that of the saint. ”

"Huh...... Gu Xiang don't want to be sarcastic to me, where am I still a prince, besides, when I was born, the Zheng family had already died in the country, but the elders were still dreaming of recovering the country, and now that the Zheng family is dead, it is not a prince in the future" Ye Jiuzhong shook his head with a wry smile, and then lowered his eyebrows and stared at the cold blade in his hand, after a while, he bowed his head slightly, agreeing with Gu Xiang's conclusion, but still had a trace of doubt, and asked, "Since Gu Xiang knows that the talent of the virtuous king is above the saint, and Gu Xiang is the prime minister of the dynasty, he must ensure the stability of the court, Then why don't you just support King Xian? If that's the case, it will be easier for King Xian to ascend to a high position, and there will not be much change in the imperial court. ”

"For what?" Gu Xiang had a lot of thoughts in his heart, and his eyes were also a little trance-like, as if he was looking at himself and sighed, "Yes, what are you doing? For the sake of the family and the country, for the sake of the people? Maybe it's just for her."

"She?" Ye Jiu's heart moved, his sword eyebrows furrowed, he had always been good at grasping the key point, he felt that the "she" that Gu Xiang was referring to was the key to the whole question, and then he asked, "Gu Xiang, this' she, what does it mean?"

Gu Xiang came back to his senses a little, chuckled, and responded: "After so many years, I think it has been forgotten by the people of the past, so it doesn't hurt to tell you." She, she was born out of thin air, just like Ye Feng today. She is peerless, fighting swords, giving advice, and omnipotent. Wu Ke bravely crowned the three armies, with the sword in hand, and took the head of the enemy's generals like probing the bag; Wen Kejian is on the sidelines, and he is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. You can believe it or not, but she's just that perfect. Her appearance was extremely short-lived, but it became a legend for a generation, and what the old man is doing now is because of her. ”

Ye Jiuzhong thought for a while, his eyes were slightly condensed, and he wondered: "What Gu Xiang said should be a woman, isn't it the woman who helped the Zhao family open the country back then?" Since this is the case, then she should have some kind of connection with the head of my family, otherwise Gu Xiang would not have spared no effort to help the Ye family." ”

Gu Xiang chuckled, looking at Ye Jiuzhong's eyes full of admiration, and said, "The wisdom of Jiuzhong is indeed superb. Yes, the divine sword held by this woman is the 'Yunshui Sword, and she is also a disciple of the Yunshui Sword Sect, and the most important thing is that she is Ye Feng's grandmother. Although this woman chose Ye Qing as her husband and was already a wife, it still did not prevent the old husband from loving her. It's been decades, and the old man hasn't changed."

"Hehe, 'People are not romantic, but Gu Xiang is infatuated. This also makes sense, no wonder Gu Xiang admires the head of the family so much, no wonder the Yunshui Sword will appear in the Ye family, so it is. I don't know where that senior is now?" Ye Jiuzhong chuckled, but still doubted.

When Jiuzhong asked such a question, Gu Xiang fell silent. His face was gloomy, and after a while, he said in a deep voice: "Twenty years ago, there was no news of her, and I am afraid that there is more luck than luck." Ye Jiuzhong was also a little silent, but there were always some doubts in his heart, and they were haunting more and more. He raised his head and stared at the sad face of the old man, but he clenched the cold blade in his hand, because he had a hunch that what Gu Xiang in front of him saw might not be the truth, there must be a shocking conspiracy behind this truth, and it takes an opportunity to unlock the truth, maybe that woman is this opportunity

After a while, Gu Xiang's mood stabilized slightly, he raised his withered hand to wipe the corners of his eyes, and chuckled: "The old man made your junior laugh." But what makes the old man care about is the matter of the princess of Ni Shang, although Princess Ni Shang said so, but the old man is still uncomfortable, since you are familiar with the princess, then you can tell me your opinion, I don't know what the purpose of Princess Ni Shang is?"

Ye Jiuzhongjian's eyebrows were furrowed, his eyebrows were lowered and he thought about it, thinking back to the woman's decision to kill and the tragic experience of the woman back then, for a while, he had some mixed feelings. On the one hand, he has some sympathy for this woman, if she is not in the emperor's family, she would not need to suffer so much, which has some of the same situation as him, and on the other hand, he is also a little jealous of the woman, and the conspiracy is at his fingertips, saying that he loves him, but what the woman thinks in her heart is that no one knows, although she is not careful, anyone will be doomed, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is a femme fatale.

Thinking of this, Ye Jiu's heart was solemn, and then he raised his head and said in a deep voice: "Gu Xiang, with all due respect, what the princess said must be false, but our purpose is not yet known, and one thing is certain, that is, she is undoubtedly a member of the Holy Gate, and she is also the seventh shadow guard of the Holy Gate, and she has an extraordinary status in the Holy Gate, so we must be very careful."

"The Seventh Shadow Guard, as far as the old man knows, the head of the Shadow Guard is the mysterious Holy Gate Military Master, I didn't expect Princess Ni Shang to have such a status in the Holy Gate, the old man underestimated her before" Gu Xiang said in a deep voice, there was also a dignified look in his eyes, Gu Xiang, who had studied the Holy Gate for many years, naturally knew what the meaning of the word "Shadow Guard" represented.

After that, Gu Xiang looked at the sky, and said with a chuckle: "It's not early, let's contact us next time, but in front of the saint, we still need to pretend to be opposed, and at the very end, we have to trouble Mr. Ye Jiuzhong to send the old man." Ye Jiuzhong also looked at the sky, and replied with his chin.

Ye Jiuzhong took a deep breath, his eyes froze, and then he carried Gu Xiang down, like a goshawk flying with wings, his steps were light on the pillar, so that his body was always flat and stable. When it landed, it didn't pause, and with a flash of figure, it moved to a remote corner, and then let go of Gu Xiang, Gu Xiang had previous experience, and this was the second time he was carried by the eaves to the wall, and his complexion was still normal. However, after a little relaxation, Gu Xiang smoothed his complexion and walked out of the city slowly.

Ye Jiuzhong saw Gu Xiang leave, he jumped up, climbed the glass wall again, walked lightly, shuttled back and forth between the palaces, aimlessly strolling around the inner courtyard of the palace that seemed familiar but unfamiliar. In a moment, Ye Jiuzhong climbed an ancient tree, stood on the branch and looked into the distance, feeling refreshed, and when he turned his head to stare at the sparkling stream in the garden, he felt that this place was so familiar......
