Bab 91: Accidentally Eavesdropped

Xu Xiang tilted her head, thinking for a while and asked, "Why did you tell me this?"

Gu Yanjiu clenched her hands and said calmly: "I want to ask you something."

Xu Xiang glanced at her tightly clenched hands, looked at her calm face, and said, "Then you can ask."

She hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is Xiao Shao, the supreme general of the Shang Empire, still alive or already dead?"

Hearing that she spoke of Xiao Shao's name, Xu Xiang's eyes flickered for a split second. She smiled and said, "Before I answer your question, I want to know one thing. Your answer will determine whether I answer your question or not."

Gu Yanjiu nodded and said, "Please ask."

Xu Xiang touched her chin, observed her expression and asked, "What is your reason for asking whether Xiao Shao is still alive or already dead?"

Hearing Xu Xiang's question, Gu Yanjiu smiled. Xu Xiang looked at her smiling face and didn't speak, waiting for her answer.
