As soon as the words fell, Gu Xiang relaxed his body that had been tense as if he was relieved, and the anger between his eyebrows disappeared, and there was a slight smile on his old face full of ravines, and suddenly, Gu Xiang seemed to be ten years younger, sitting leisurely on the wooden chair, stretching out his dry hand to pick up the teapot on the wooden table, putting it between his nose and sniffing lightly, his eyes slightly closed, shaking his head gently, indescribable enjoyment, where is there such a fierce power just now.

Even the housekeeper of the Gu family, who had been standing beside him, was a little stunned, he didn't understand why Gu Xiang's reaction was so big, and he was also surprised that Gu Xiang would take the initiative to admit defeat, you must know that the prime minister of the current dynasty has been in the officialdom for decades, and has encountered countless difficulties and obstacles, but he will never admit defeat, let alone bow his head to a female junior. Rao is no matter how he understands Gu Xiang, he can't help but feel at a loss, but he is only responsible for protecting Gu Xiang, and as for the affairs of the imperial court, it is not something he can participate in. Therefore, no matter how puzzled he was, he could only stand aside anxiously.

Mo Ye and the others took a deep breath, their faces soothed, they were deeply afraid of the tense situation just now, because on this side was their own family, and on the other side were the good officials who had followed them for decades, if they were to force them to help one of them, it would be extremely difficult to choose such a choice. But fortunately, now Gu Xiang took the initiative to admit defeat and indirectly helped Mo Xie and the others to relieve the siege, but they were still shocked, and they were a little puzzled by the initiative of an arrogant person like Gu Xiang to retreat, but in this case, of course, they would not blatantly ask, they could only stare at the extremely relaxed old man and think to themselves.

Wan'er was staring at her apricot eyes slightly, her mouth was lightly open, and she didn't come to her senses for a long time, and she couldn't believe that she suddenly surrendered to Gu Xiang. You must know that Lu Dao only fought for a while, and in a few words, in an instant, the winner was decided. Wan'er, who won the victory in this verbal confrontation, was not a little happy, frowned slightly, turned her head over the mantis, and looked at Ye Jiuzhong on the side, her eyes were actually inquiring, and Ye Jiuzhong saw her looking, she also frowned slightly, and after thinking about it a little, she could only shake her head helplessly.

"Ahem......" Wan'er saw that the atmosphere was a little frozen, so she coughed lightly, looked at Gu Xiang suspiciously, and asked, "Gu Xiang, I don't know what you mean by this?"

Gu Xiang took a sip of fragrant tea, his eyes stared at the sparkling teapot in his hand slightly, with a warm smile on the corner of his mouth, and sighed: "Originally, heroes have been young since ancient times, and talented people have come out of the country, in fact, I should be old old man, oh hehe, the little girl is good"

Wan'er looked at Gu Xiang in some surprise, she didn't understand the meaning of Gu Xiang's "good", her eyes flashed, and she asked lightly: "Since Gu Xiang came from afar, everyone knows what he has done." It's just that I don't know how to give up, do you really want to listen to my dispatch? Aren't the interests of the imperial court important?"

Gu was unmoved by everyone's doubts, shook his head slightly, smiled, his eyes fluttered, as if he was recalling, and sighed: "There are not a few old men left, alas, the matter is for the sake of ...... I can't force it...... I can't force it......" muttered a sense of the vicissitudes of time.

Wan'er's heart moved, she lowered her eyebrows and pondered, chewing the old man's half-clear and half-awake words, and then, with a flash of light in her eyes, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Mo Ye and the others who were sitting on the side, but she had a trace of understanding in her heart. After a while, when the jade man came back to his senses, he looked at the contemplative old man, and couldn't help but be a little awe-inspired, and asked in a somewhat tentative whisper, "Gu Xiang...... So...... If I'm not mistaken, you deliberately threw in the towel, right?"

"Oh?" Gu Xiang heard this, frowned slightly, raised his head, slowly opened his eyes, looked at the woman who was now a little timid with some surprise, and asked in a condensed voice: "Little girl, why do you ask such a question?"

Wan'er saw that Gu Xiang was not angry, so she was more sure of her thoughts, the corners of her mouth were smiling, her slender hand stroked the three thousand green silk hanging on the ground, and said gracefully: "Gu Xiang, you are a senior in the court, a veteran of the two dynasties, the founding father, and you have a very high reputation among the people. How could such a person lose to a little-known girl like me?" The jade man was speechless, his eyes turned slightly, staring at the old man's expression, wanting to see something, but Gu Xiang was always smiling on his face, neither agreeing nor opposing, seeing that the jade man bowed slightly, and his thoughts were not shown on his face, this is the true heart of the first minister of the imperial court, not the angry and impulsive just now, that kind of state is obviously not the state that this old man should be.

At this point, Wan'er became more and more convinced that the old man had done it on purpose before, whether it was making trouble or getting angry, it was just a test of Wan'er. Gu Xiang stretched out his withered hand to caress the purple sand teapot, listened to Wan'er's question, and bowed slightly, but still said: "Miss Nangong, you don't need to be arrogant, your means, your martial arts, your strategy, your words, all these aspects that are the most important to the superiors, it can be said that in the past few decades, among the people I have seen, you have achieved the greatest achievements at this age." Although there are many young talents and amazing talents among them, there has never been such a woman who can be so comprehensive and bring me such a great shock.

Gu Xiang's words exhausted his praise and affirmation of Wan'er, you must know that Lu Dao is the prime minister of the dynasty, what he sees and hears must be extremely broad, and there are not a few evil people who have seen him. But even so, Gu Xiang still spoke very well of Wan'er, so that the few people who had to follow Gu Xiang for decades were slightly pale, and their eyes looked at Wan'er with a little jealousy. Although Ye Jiuzhong was not as surprised as a few people, he was still a little excited, after all, it was the first prime minister of the court who was sitting there.

Wan'er shook her head lightly and said with a smile: "Gu Xiang didn't answer my question directly, did he disdain to answer, or was I right?"

Gu Xiang's words stopped, his heart moved slightly, his eyes were bright, and he said in a condensed voice: "If I said that I didn't deliberately pretend to be invincible, how can you refute it?" After that, Gu Xiang took a sip of fragrant tea, and looked at Wan'er with some interest, wanting to see what kind of basis he could have.

Wan'er chuckled, shook off the green silk, stroked a few strands of hair on her sideburns, and said unhurriedly: "If I didn't guess wrong, when you entered Jiangnan, you investigated all the power of my Suzhou Ye League, and also investigated the recent situation of the Ye family, and I think there are also my habits, etc., and in the scene at the main gate, I just want a guide, and more importantly, I can understand whether my talent is the same as what you know......"

Speaking of this, Wan'er paused, looked thoughtfully at the old man who was still light-hearted, and then turned to the head of the mantis, looked at Mo Ye and the others, smiled coquettishly, and said in a condensed voice: "Gu Xiang, I think you also deliberately brought Mo Ye and these four people here." Maybe I just want to see how I will deal with the relationship between the old and new members, as for my own strength, it should be beyond your expectations. Aside from that, I think the rest is in your hands."

Mo Ye and the others looked at each other, first looked at Wan'er who was talking with some fear, and then looked at the resourceful Gu Xiang, their hearts were full of mixed feelings, and they couldn't help but open their mouths, and they stopped talking. Gu Xiang glanced at Mo Ye, and when he saw him like this, he chuckled lightly and said, "Miss Nangong, your guess is really wonderful, but it's just a guess, you see if you pause, Mo Ye seems to have something to say." ”

Wan'er smiled playfully and shrugged her shoulders, indicating that she didn't care. Mo Xie groaned slightly, and said tentatively: "Gu Xiang, I wonder if you are just using us as Miss Nangong said, not like you said to us, let us recognize the Lord and return to the sect?"

Gu Xiang's sword eyebrows frowned slightly, but after a moment, his eyebrows gradually eased, and he said in a deep voice: "I have been in the officialdom for decades, and I can't help but use people and things that can be used, but this time, for you, I dare to say that I did not use you, and I only felt grateful to you." Although I Gu Yan is insidious and cunning in the eyes of many people, and I will do whatever it takes to achieve my goals, I still have a bottom line. That's why I said that Miss Nangong was wrong on this point, and I said that I wouldn't have the slightest disagreement with my benefactor."

In an instant, Gu Xiang suddenly got up and shouted, his face was full of fierceness. Wan'er was shocked in her heart, and she actually felt a little chill, which showed the strength of Gu Xiang's momentum. Although Gu Xiang doesn't know martial arts, he has relied on the momentum of officialdom for several years, which still makes these people with peerless martial arts feel cold all over his body.

After a while, Gu Xiang eased up a little, his face returned to such a calm state, he sat down slowly, turned his head, stared at Wan'er, and said softly: "Miss Nangong is smiling, the old man is impulsive, excited, hehe, old temper......"

Wan'er looked at the old man who was smiling and groaning, her heart sank, and she was amazed at the momentum that Gu Xiangzheng exuded when she spoke, and the momentum was like a mountain that overwhelmed people. Thinking of this, the jade man turned his head again, and carefully observed the emaciated old man, although his skin was already deflated, his spirit was also a little sluggish, and the expression in his eyes was fluttering, but when he was angry, he could still burst out with infinite strength. The first prime minister of the DPRK and China is indeed worthy of his name.

Wan'er eased her mind slightly, took a breath of fragrance, then bowed her head slightly, and said coquettishly: "Gu Xiang, the little woman is very sorry, for the presumptuous speculation just now, it is indeed wrong." But you have been measuring my ability here, and you wanted Mo Ye to test my skills, but you didn't expect that it was Ye Jiuzhong who took the battle and won easily, which surprised you a little. When Ye Jiu recommended me, you just pushed the boat down the river to know my strength, but you didn't expect my strength to check the expectations. At that moment, it once made Gu Xiangyou a little confused. Yes and no

"Papa" Gu Xiang chuckled and clapped his hands, shook his head slightly, and sighed, "It's really wonderful, it is worthy of Nangong Wan'er, who has recently become famous in the rivers and lakes, the analysis is meticulous and exquisite, interlocking layer by layer, and it seems that I still underestimate you."

"Gu Xiang, don't be busy first, it's not too late for me to finish" Wan'er frowned, lowered her eyebrows and thought for a while, then said, "You have considered my martial arts, and it is my strategy to come down, so you have a verbal confrontation with me"

At this point, Wan'er paused slightly, raised her eyebrows lightly, looked deeply at Gu Xiang, who was sitting firmly in her place, and sighed: "I have to say, Gu Xiang, your experience and insights are really superb, and I haven't noticed it in my words, but after looking at it later, it was I who inadvertently fell into Gu Xiang's trap."

Gu Xiang's face remained unchanged, but his eyes were slightly condensed, looking at the pretty face full of wisdom, and he said lightly: "Oh?

Wan'er's pretty face was a little angry, and she said coquettishly: "Gu Xiang is still testing others. Just now I saw that the atmosphere was awkward, so I rounded the field as the master, which happened to fall into your arms. Gu Xiangxian took the world as the starting topic and studied the little woman's views on the world, but I didn't see it at that time, so those words were my true words. The people of the rivers and lakes are already for the court and the world, and the merit outweighs the disadvantages.

Mo Ye and the others took a deep breath, their faces soothed, they were deeply afraid of the tense situation just now, because on this side was their own family, and on the other side were the good officials who had followed them for decades, if they were to force them to help one of them, it would be extremely difficult to choose such a choice.
