In the end, Gu Xun was unable to express all of his reasonable (and rude) requests, so he was dragged down by someone arranged by Zi Nu.
I kindly want to help you, but there are a lot of things to do, so I just want to give you face!
However, Gu Xun had experienced modern education and had a relatively high level of ideological awareness. While he was wandering around the brothel, he did not forget his lovely wife and children at home. He asked Zi Nu to help send a letter back, explaining that for some reasons, he had to go out to work for a few days.
, let them not worry.
Of course, this is a cover-up for Zi Nu. In fact, Gu Xun's letter instructs Jing Salamander not to hack him to death directly if someone from the Iron Blood Alliance comes to his house.
Theoretically, the first person the Iron Blood Alliance should look for must be Gu Xun himself, and they will not harass the female relatives first, but what if it happens? We cannot have too high moral expectations for the Jianghu forces in this era, so it is better to nip it in the bud. It was also because the content was not convenient for Zi Nu to know that Gu Xun deliberately wrote a letter instead of directly transmitting an oral message.
……
In this era of underdeveloped science and technology, most things progress very slowly. From personal travel to the country's dispatch of troops, everything is counted on a monthly basis. However, the speed of action of Jianghu forces is often ridiculously fast, and
The bigger the force, the faster it moves, which is not reasonable at all.
Shouldn’t a bloated organizational structure slow down operational efficiency?
Gu Xun didn't understand, but he didn't care. When it came to the speed of movement of a single soldier, no one in the world could be faster than him. Although the top speed of a single man wielding a sword was not as fast as a train, it was still not as fast as an express train.
Question.
The efficiency of the Iron Blood Alliance is surprisingly high. They came to find Gu Xun the night he stayed at Zilanxuan.
It's probably because what Gu Xun did was a bit too taboo for their organization.
After all, the propaganda slogan is that trustworthiness is the most important thing, and what we do is to make a living by guaranteeing others. Credibility is the first priority indicator of a company. Being imposted and spending one's credit indiscriminately is indeed the most serious problem.
However, the precise time when they came to the door was not late at night, but it was just past midnight (about 8 p.m.), and Zi Nu and Gu Xun had just finished eating.
Gu Xun stayed overnight today, and Zi Nu specially asked Gu Xun's favorite cook (in terms of cooking skills) to cook a large table of dishes and treat him to a meal. Hospitality is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation.
Two people, eighteen dishes, and a pot of orchid stuffing.
It seemed like he couldn't finish the food, but in fact he still finished it. Gu Xun has a big appetite, and he only eats vegetables and not staple food - the most important thing for him to eat is to enjoy his appetite.
As for energy supply? Just kidding, I can set fire to mountains out of thin air, my true energy is endless, you tell me to eat to provide energy?
In any case, this meal was cooked a little late, and the eating time was a little slow. The last time I finished eating was relatively late. The winter nights are particularly long, and it is already dark. Xinzheng is noisy and bustling during the day.
The city was completely silent at this time, and the only places that were still lit were the royal palace, the south of the city, and clubs like Zilanxuan that were open at night.
The only brightly lit place in Zilanxuan is the lobby in front, while the back courtyard is like the homes of most Xinzheng people, where they sleep peacefully at night.
It was at such a time and place that the people from the Iron Blood Alliance came to our door.
Gu Xun, who was sitting in the room chatting, was the first to notice the strange movement in the yard, followed by Wei Zhuang who was hiding aside, and Zi Nu, who was the weakest, was naturally the last to notice.
Sensing the unusual movement, Zi Nu immediately guessed that someone from the Iron-Blooded Alliance might be here. She couldn't help but subconsciously look at Gu Xun with worried eyes, and received a heartless smile in return.
"Let's go out and meet." Gu Xun tilted his head towards Zi Nu, then stood up and left the house first, Zi Nu followed closely behind.
At this time, in the courtyard outside, on the ground paved with smooth pebbles, a pattern was mapped out under the moonlight at some point. It was the pattern of the lower half arc and the upper half of the fire beast that Gu Xun had mentioned when he fooled the Emerald Tiger.
, which is the totem symbol of the Iron Blood Alliance.
Then, twelve thick chains burning with blazing fire suddenly shot out from the air, wrapping around the four legs and two ears of a bronze cauldron that was also burning with fire, and slowly lowered it to the ground. Under the light of the fire, the Iron Blood Alliance
The totem becomes clearer and clearer, and the big tripod falls in the center of the circle of the pattern.
"Iron is faith, blood is righteousness!" Two mixed, somewhat deep voices sounded in the ears of Gu Xun and others. Along with them, two people wearing light armor and with iron faces appeared.
A man carrying a slightly curved scimitar on his back.
The two of them walked slowly from behind the cauldron to the front, and at the same time continued to say: "The iron-blood formation, life and death, is unstoppable!"
"Iron Blood Alliance! They came so fast!" Zi Nu murmured in a solemn tone.
Gu Xun had his arms folded, and it felt very interesting. From his perception, plus the two people in front of him, the Iron Blood Alliance sent a total of eight people, and the other six were responsible for dragging the big cauldron with chains outside the yard, and the cauldron was lowered immediately.
, the person ran away!
So is appearance so important?
There are only two people doing the official work, but there are six people doing the face-saving work!
Besides, even if those six are just in charge of face-saving work, they can’t run away now. Will Ding still need them later?
In fact, Gu Xun misunderstood. Under normal circumstances, when people from the Iron Blood Alliance come to guarantee a bet, the tripod will be recycled. After all, this thing is not cheap, but today they are here to kill people and establish their authority, so they plan to take the tripod.
Keep it to enhance your remaining power, and leave it to Gu Xun as a burial object.
Ignoring Gu Xun's random thoughts, the masked duo from the Iron Blood Alliance stepped forward again and asked:
"Mr. Gu Xun, did you tell Xinzheng Haoshang Jade Tiger that the Jagged Alliance had guaranteed a contract between you and Zilanxuan?"
Zi Nu said before Gu Xun: "Two distinguished guests from the Iron Blood Alliance, this matter is a bit... wu wu..."
Before he finished speaking, Gu Xun covered his mouth.
I said I won’t let you get involved, I won’t let you get involved, why are you interfering? Just watch with peace of mind!
Once Zi Nu tries to excuse Gu Xun, Zi Lan Xuan will inevitably become the target of a blow, which is something Gu Xun never wants to see from the beginning to the end.
As for Gu Xun staying in Zilanxuan, it doesn't matter. Let's make friends. No matter how powerful your Iron Blood Alliance is, you can't kill all ten enemy clans, and you won't even let your friends go, right?
Gu Xun covered Zi Nu's mouth and suppressed her struggling body. At the same time, he turned to the two people and nodded:
"That's right, I did it all."
After thinking about it for a moment, he emphasized: "I did it alone and it has nothing to do with any other person or force."
The two people across from each other looked at each other, quite surprised. Did this person admit it so readily?
Are newborn calves not afraid of tigers, or do they really have something to rely on?
It doesn’t feel like the latter, otherwise why would the female head of Zilanxuan take the initiative to bring trouble to herself?
Hmm! Never mind, just kill him first.
After making eye contact, the two made a decision.
