Gu Xun leaned back, half-lying on the couch, crossed his hands behind his back to support his head, turned his eyes downward, aimed at Yan Lingji, and replied in an airy tone:
"Not to mention what use this copper box can have, even if the Yin Yang family gathers them all soon, it won't stop me from making money. I'll snatch it back after I collect the money."
"Besides, it still depends on whether the things are in Handan or not..."
"The shopkeeper thinks the thing is not here?" Yan Lingji, after following Gu Xun and listening to so many ancient legends about Canglong Qisu, naturally became infinitely curious about it, and she was very active about this matter now.
, busy and asked again.
"I don't know." Gu Xun shook his head, "It's just a guess."
He really doesn’t know, and it’s not revealed in the anime.
"However, with the Yin Yang family's style, if Yueshen is not 100% sure, then it is probably in vain."
"If the chance of finding her is low, would that woman be willing to pay such a high price to ask you, the shopkeeper, to take action?" Yan Lingji felt that this didn't make sense, and she drooped her head and looked at Gu Xun lying on the ground.
"Oh, it's not the Moon God who asked me to take action." Gu Xun sneered and replied in a serious tone.
"Not her?"
"The Moon Goddess is not Concubine Yan. Without the order of Donghuang Taiyi, she dared to tell me her mission so straightforwardly?" Gu Xun explained the problem with one sentence, "People from the Yin Yang family don't have that much freedom at all.
, especially when it comes to Canglong Qisu, I must obey orders. Normal people can't even hide from me. They are afraid that I will intervene and cause chaos, so why would they rush to get in touch with me?"
After listening to Gu Xun's answer, Yan Lingji understood the reason why he said this, and she also felt that it made sense, that is...
"Shopkeeper, why are Concubine Yan different from the Moon God, both from the Yin Yang family?" Yan Lingji's beautiful eyes flashed, and she looked at Gu Xun with a wink and a smile, waiting for an answer.
"Uh..." Gu Xun was speechless for a moment, but he just said that smoothly...
"Ahem, I don't know what Donghuang Taiyi is planning this time, and he wants to drag me into the water." Gu Xun coughed twice and began to talk about him.
Yan Lingji blinked her big watery eyes playfully again, ignoring the other party's clumsy way of changing the topic for the time being, and answered:
"You knew there was a conspiracy inside, but you, the shopkeeper, still jumped in?"
"Every gain must come with a loss. The so-called conspiracy requires an initial investment before you can get back double the profits later. To put it simply, if you want to fish, you have to take the bait."
"So, shopkeeper, you want to eat the bait?"
Gu Xun did not answer, but smiled noncommittally.
Seeing him like this, Yan Lingji didn't continue to ask this question, and turned to talk about practicing medicine:
"Have you decided where to practice medicine?"
Gu Xun nodded at this time, "It's placed in the east of the city, within the territory of the Gold and Silver Gang."
"You promised the Moon God not to attack Guo Kai's people in a hurry." Yan Lingji casually reminded Gu Xun of something that Gu Xun had just promised to others.
Gu Xun smiled disdainfully, "Hey, I just said that I wouldn't be in a hurry to attack Guo Kai, but I didn't say that I wouldn't attack his people. Besides, I didn't plan to take the initiative... If others come to find trouble with me, then they can't blame me.
”
………………
At this time, Sima Shang hurriedly found Li Mu in the general's mansion.
"General, I just got the news that Gu Xun is fighting with others in the city."
"What!" Li Mu thought nothing happened so quickly. He was a little surprised at first, but he soon calmed down and asked, "What's the specific situation?"
"Back to the general, Gu Xun took Yan Lingji around the east of the city for unknown reasons today, and then seemed to deliberately sit down at a place where the gang rested and camped. The two sides had a dispute, and more than ten people died on the spot.
."
"But I can be sure that Yan Lingji is the one who actually kills people."
"Well..." Li Mu nodded, indicating that he had a general understanding, and then asked, "Who is that gang...?"
"According to the investigation, it seems that he was supported by the clan member Zhao Cong and mainly helped him make money."
Zhao Cong?
Li Mu's face looked a little more solemn.
This person is currently one of the few people in the royal family of King Zhao who firmly stands on Zhao Wangqian's side. Of course, this minority is only temporary. When Zhao Wangqian's throne becomes more stable, the number of people who will join him will also increase.
The more.
Zhao Cong has an identity, but his ability is ordinary. Now he is just relying on Zhao Wangqian to gain a little power, and following Guo Kai, he is not worth mentioning.
So...why does Gu Xun want to find trouble with this gang?
Li Mu kept guessing in his mind what the purpose of Lenovo Guxun was, but how did he know that Guxun was purely randomly selected? After thinking about it for a long time, he unconsciously thought of Guo Kaina, the Prime Minister of the country.
Now that Zhao Cong was fooling around with him, Li Mu naturally gave priority to analyzing Guo Kai.
If Gu Xun wanted to attack Guo Kai, who was the prime minister of the country, it would make sense. He liked to attack his master who was a very popular minister.
Seeing Li Mu's expression, Sima Shang took the initiative and said:
"General, do you think Gu Xun's real purpose is to deal with Guo Kai?"
Obviously, Sima Shang also guessed about Guo Kai, and the two of them can be considered... bumped into each other by mistake. Although the road was wrong, the destination was fine.
"This possibility cannot be ruled out..." Li Mu nodded in a solemn tone, "Although Guo Kai is not a son of man, he flatters the king, forms cliques for personal gain, and excludes dissidents, but after all, he is the prime minister of our country Zhao... we cannot die casually for others.
In his hands, besides, if something happens to him, it will be difficult for the king to explain..."
"Sima Shang, immediately send more manpower to keep an eye on Gu Xun and the Prime Minister's Mansion."
"My subordinates will do it later." Sima Shang clasped his fists and accepted the order. However, he did not leave, but continued, "General, there is also the possibility that Gu Xun met with others in secret today. Our
The spies couldn't really keep an eye on him, but they just roughly guessed that someone had seen him."
"There is no way to know who the specific person is."
"Hmm..." Li Mu thought for a moment, then raised his hand to signal Sima Shang to go down and do some work first.
Sima Shang didn't have anything else to say, so he retreated after seeing this, leaving Li Mu alone in the room thinking about it.
As he expected, Gu Xun had no intention of being idle, but his purpose is still unknown. Well... the key should be the mysterious person he met today. If he could know the identity of the other party, Gu Xun's purpose would probably be revealed.
It’s clear.
Mohist? Wei? Or Luowang?
The most powerful forces in the city at this time were all quickly reviewed in Li Mu's mind.
Theoretically speaking, Luowang is the one with the highest probability. After all, it belongs to the Qin State, and Gu Xun is the national advisor of the Qin State.
