In the reception room of the Xue Mansion, Gu Yanqing released a little of his aura, well, only targeting Li Ershan.

Li Ershan felt the strong pressure, but did not admit defeat. Instead, he raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Gu Yanqing with dignity. The two men looked at each other and sparks flashed.

"Cough cough."

Sensing the subtle atmosphere in the arena, Xue Hua immediately took the initiative to speak: "It's a rare opportunity for me to return to the capital, and Prime Minister Gu, we haven't played chess together for a long time. How about we play a game today?"

Play chess?

Hearing Xue Hua's words, Gu Yanqing restrained his breath and nodded at him.

A moment later, Gu Yanqing and Xue Hua were already sitting in the study playing chess, while Jiang Jiang and Li Ershan were sitting not far away, eating cakes and chatting.

"Is he really Gu Yanqing? Does Brother Shengzi know about this?"

Li Ershan handed Jiang Jiang a piece of fruit and asked in a low voice.

"My elder brother doesn't know yet." Jiang Jiang took the fruit and answered, then took a bite of the apple in his hand. Hmm, it was a little sour.

"Then you and him..." Li Ershan looked at Jiang Jiang, then glanced at Gu Yanqing who was still playing chess not far away. Although Li Ershan was not smart, he was not a fool either.

The two people in front of me don't look so innocent no matter how you look at them.

"There's nothing even remotely certain about our relationship, so don't spread rumors everywhere." Jiang Jiang put down the apple. Seeing that she didn't like it, Li Ershan attentively handed the pear on the plate to Jiang Jiang.

Why is this kid so naughty?

Gu Yanqing, who was not far away, had actually been secretly watching Li Ershan and Jiang Jiang. Seeing Li Ershan constantly handing things to Jiang Jiang, his eyes became darker and darker.

"Minister Gu, you are distracted." Xue Hua dropped a piece and reminded Gu Yanqing in a low voice.

"It's okay." Gu Yanqing didn't even look at the chessboard and directly dropped the white piece in his hand.

The situation was already ordinary, but with one move, the whole situation changed drastically!

Xue Hua frowned, humph, damn top scholar!

The two of them played back and forth like this for a total of five games, and General Xue lost all five games.

[Xue Hua: Gu Yanqing is good in every way, except for the fact that he doesn't know what it means to respect the elderly and love the young!]

When Jiang Jiang and Gu Yanqing came out of Xue Mansion, the heavy snow had stopped.

The white snow makes the entire capital look brand new.

Jiang Jiang sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain, looked at the snowy scene on the street, and couldn't help sighing: "The last time it snowed so heavily in the capital was in spring. At that time, I..."

Having said that, Jiang Jiang paused.

At that time, she had just traveled to this world.

But now, everything seems like a lifetime ago.

"What happened then?" Gu Yanqing was still waiting for Jiang Jiang's next words.

"Nothing." Jiang Jiang withdrew his hand and lowered the curtain. It was still warmer in the car.

"What did Li Ershan say to you just now?"

Seeing that Jiang Jiang was not in high spirits, Gu Yanqing suddenly changed the subject.

"Didn't you hear everything?" Jiang Jiang glanced at Gu Yanqing. She didn't believe that with Gu Yanqing's hearing ability and at such a close distance, he would not have heard her conversation with Li Ershan?

amount.

Gu Yanqing was choked. He had indeed heard everything.

Including Jiang Jiang's words, "It's not even a stroke of fate yet," and Li Ershan's final whisper, "This pretty boy looks unreliable. My adoptive father said that civil servants are all evil-minded!"

Ha ha.

If it weren't for Jiang Jiang's sake, he really wanted to let Li Ershan experience for himself today that civil servants are not only cruel in heart, but also cruel in action.

"Okay, don't take my second brother's words to heart. He is just a simple warrior." Jiang Jiang pulled Gu Yanqing's sleeve.

"Martial artists are simple? So scholars are cruel?" Gu Yanqing is very good at nitpicking.

"He was actually praising you for being smart. You have eight hundred ideas in your head, and it doesn't matter if one or two of them are evil." Jiang Jiang said with a smile.

Gu Yanqing: Are you sure you are praising someone?

"By the way, speaking of my second brother, I have something I'd like to ask you for help with." Jiang Jiang knew that Gu Yanqing wasn't really angry with Li Ershan, so she spoke directly, "My second brother's master is called Chen Jinting, you should know him, right? He's still wanted by the Divine Constables. Do you know anyone in the Divine Constables? Can you remove the warrant for him? I owe him a favor, and I have to repay him."

Chen Jinting, the assassin.

How could Gu Yanqing forget this guy? It was he who asked Lin Jing to throw him to the Divine Detective Department.

"How much money do you still owe him? Pay it back together."

Gu Yanqing suddenly remembered that Jiang Jiang had taken money from Chen Jinting, but he didn't know how much it was. He didn't like owing others, and he didn't like his woman owing anything to other men.

After hearing what Gu Yanqing said, Jiang Jiang was stunned for a moment, then blushed a little.

She almost forgot that she had written Chen Jinting in her diary!

Taking advantage of someone's misfortune and stealing their money is indeed a bit unkind, although it can be considered as robbing the thieves...wait!

Jiang Jiang suddenly looked up at Gu Yanqing.

It is true that she wrote about Chen Jinting's appearance in her diary, but did she also write about the fact that she took Chen Jinting's money?

"It was your people who captured Chen Jinting? It was... Lin Jing!"

Jiang Jiang instantly understood why Chen Jinting's plot line had completely gone astray until he was completely offline!

It turns out that Gu Yanqing started to mess up the plot from that time!

Hearing Jiang Jiang's words, Gu Yanqing tilted his head slightly, neither admitting nor denying.

Now that things have come to this, it’s better for everyone to just keep it to themselves.

"Old fox."

Jiang Jiang muttered something quietly, but Gu Yanqing suddenly came over and whispered in her ear with deep eyes, "You also think... I'm old?"

There was an inexplicable sense of grievance in his tone.

Jiang Jiang felt an itch in her ears, and Gu Yanqing's look like a wronged young wife made Jiang Jiang feel even more itchy.

No, how can you be so capable, Mr. Gu!

"You are not old, not old. I like mature men."

Jiang Jiang couldn't help but raise her finger and hook Gu Yanqing's chin: "Our Gu Xiang is the most handsome man in Qingyun. Even at the age of eighty, he is still a handsome old man."

eighty……

The glimmer in Gu Yanqing's eyes dimmed again.

We agreed to be together for just one day.

However, it turned out that he still hoped to have a lifetime.

Putting away the extravagant hope in his heart, Gu Yanqing raised his hand and pulled Jiang Jiang into his arms: "Wait for me for a few years. Wait until the academy is open, wait until I overthrow Liu Qizhang and arrange all the affairs in the court. Then I will resign from my office and retire. I will take you to travel around the world, see all the beautiful scenery, and eat all the delicious food in the world. How do you think?"

In Gu Yanqing's life, love is very important, but it has never been the first priority. Jiang Jiang likes a man like Gu Yanqing who is ambitious in his career.

Of course, it would be even better if after eating all the delicacies in the world, you could also see all the handsome men in the world.
