Chapter 993

No wonder when the news of the Xixia marriage recruitment first spread, it specifically named Gu Hanyuan as a required attendee.

So it had already been decided internally long ago.

Shangguan Haitang thought of the words she had once said about thinking highly of Gu Hanyuan.

Her expression was somewhat unreadable.

For a moment, a mix of emotions surged within her.

With a somewhat strange smile, she said:

"Congratulations, Brother Gu."

Gu Hanyuan responded with a smile:

"Many thanks, Brother Shangguan."

Xiao Feng had also only come to participate in the Xixia marriage recruitment due to the demands of Xiao Yuanshan and the Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji.

He had no choice but to attend.

He did not care about the outcome.

Duan Yu felt a pain in his heart.

It was not for Li Qinglu.

It was for Wang Yuyan.

He had been forced to choose to step back.

Yet Gu Hanyuan could not treat Wang Yuyan with single-minded devotion.

Wang Yuyan had not chosen him.

Instead, she had chosen the flirtatious and fickle Gu Hanyuan.

This made him feel extremely unfairly treated.

His heart was filled with resentment and stifled frustration.

Although Prince Zong Zan and Galdan were simple-minded,

they felt fear regarding Gu Hanyuan's martial power.

How could they dare to come out and stir up trouble?

At most, they could only mutter a few words under their breath.

The Jin Guo Prince of Wei, Wanyan Daoji, felt extremely displeased.

However, his target was not Gu Hanyuan.

It was Xixia.

He felt that he had been played by Xixia.

Most of the others held similar thoughts.

Hulagu even shattered the table in front of him with a single palm strike.

With a gloomy expression, he shouted angrily:

"Are you Xixia people making a fool of this Prince?"

The entire literary examination process was full of surprises.

First, the Princess of Yinchuan changed the questions they had used in the past and set her own.

Immediately after, Gu Hanyuan gave a nonsensical answer and was directly hand-picked.

Clearly, it was a result that had been planned long ago.

Hulagu felt he had been fooled, which was quite fitting.

He did not know of Wu Xingyun's existence.

Therefore, he could only guess that Li Qiu was dissatisfied with Li Yuanhao's choice of Mongol Yuan.

This was a form of resistance to express her dissatisfaction.

The hatred in his heart for Li Qiu grew by another notch.

He thought to himself that once Tan Yingshou and Mo Yixian captured her,

he would definitely have to torture her thoroughly.

Otherwise, this foul breath could not be vented.

However, before Wu Xingyun could respond,

and before Hulagu could continue his accusations,

Gu Hanyuan's cold and sharp voice rang out.

"Since the Princess of Yinchuan has chosen Gu Mou, Hulagu, do you have some dissatisfaction? Or are you preparing to provoke Gu Mou?"

Upon hearing this, the veins on Hulagu's forehead throbbed, and he gritted his teeth.

He bit his gums until they bled.

With extreme annoyance and hatred, he said:

"You surnamed Gu! This Prince has endured you for a long time! Do not think that this Prince's repeated concessions mean I am afraid of you!"

Gu Hanyuan raised an eyebrow.

He said leisurely:

"Hulagu, do you want blood to splatter the Green Phoenix Pavilion? Gu Mou can fulfill your wish. It just so happens that Gu Mou also wants to present this sideshow to the Princess of Yinchuan to win a smile from the beauty."

Seeing that Gu Hanyuan actually compared his life and death to a sideshow to win a smile from a beauty,

Hulagu could no longer suppress the resentment in his heart.

He shouted sharply:

"Gu Hanyuan, you go too far!"

He called out Fang Yeyu's name once more.

"Yeyu!"

Although Hulagu said nothing else,

Fang Yeyu knew his meaning.

It was nothing more than wanting to trigger the medicinal effect of the "Ten Fragrance Softening Powder"

to launch an attack on Gu Hanyuan.

Fang Yeyu advised with an ugly expression:

"Prince, there is no news from that side yet. If one does not endure small things, one will spoil the great plan."

Hong Xuanfo did not know that Gu Hanyuan had been poisoned by the "Ten Fragrance Softening Powder".

He was wary of Gu Hanyuan's martial arts.

He also spoke up to advise:

"Prince, if a fight breaks out, this poor monk may not be able to protect the Prince's safety. Please, Prince, withdraw for now to ensure safety." ===== CHAPTER 995 =====
