Bai Gui was surprised at first, and then he felt relieved. Ji Yanran is a talented woman well-known in various countries. She is proficient in poetry, music, calligraphy and painting. In addition, her godfather is Zou Yan, and she is even more famous in various countries. And such a talented woman, there are
Some rare collectibles are normal.
It is not unimaginable that the Ganjiang Sword from the world of Xun Qin Ji... falls into the hands of Ji Yanran.
"Will you step back first?"
Bai Gui accepted the invitation and said.
The retainers took the order and retreated from the courtyard of the post house.
"Master, I didn't expect that Ji Yanran turned out to be the goddess in your dreams." After the doorman left and she and Bai Gui were the only ones left in the room, Shanrou asked in disbelief.
In the past few days of getting along with each other, Shan Rou increasingly believed that Bai Gui was the reincarnation of an immortal. Not to mention the "Ecstasy", amazing swordsmanship and unpredictable restrictions, Bai Gui's words and deeds were just like before.
Zhao Li is very different. Zhao Li may be pretending! This is her guess.
The Shan family was harmed by Zhao Mu, the giant deer lord. How could Shanrou and his son Zhao Mu and Zhao Li not understand? Bai Gui could hide it from Zhao Mu, but he couldn't hide it from the prying eyes of his rival Shanrou, let alone Shanrou.
She was by his side as Bai Gui's concubine.
And the appearance is exactly the same, except that the immortal has unpredictable strength... it is difficult to explain all this.
"Do you know Ji Yanran?"
"That's right, you are from Qi, and Ji Yanran's adoptive father Zou Yan is also from Qi..."
Bai Gui nodded, understanding instantly.
Shanrou is the apprentice of Cao Qiudao, the swordsman of Qi State, and Cao Qiudao is extremely famous in Jixia Academy, as is Zou Yan. Famous people tend to have a small social circle. Just like Zhao Zheng, he has known him since he was a child.
Prince Dan of Yan State, both of them were hostages detained in Zhao State.
"I wonder what the master dreamed about Ji Yanran in his dreams?"
Shanrou raised her eyes and glanced at Bai Gui, and asked cautiously.
She believes that Bai Gui is a reincarnated immortal, so if Ji Yanran can be dreamed by Bai Gui, the reincarnated immortal, she must have extraordinary abilities. There is even a secret hidden in Ji Yanran. As long as she gets a glimpse of this secret, she might be able to achieve great success.
Vengeance must be avenged.
"The revenge that deserves to be avenged, as long as you obey my orders, I will avenge you..." Bai Gui glanced at Shanrou. How could he not know Shanrou's little thoughts, but he had not been tamed for a long time, and he was the son of an enemy.
It's normal for Shanrou to have such thoughts. He half-threatened: "But if you have two minds and do something unwise, I don't want to implicate others, but you, the Shan family..."
He didn't say what he said clearly. But his meaning was very clear. He didn't mind killing the last three members of the Shan clan if they dared to ruin his plan.
"I understand."
Shanrou was startled, and quickly fell to the ground, begging for mercy.
Bai Gui's knocking words really woke her up. Her life was controlled by Bai Gui. With Bai Gui's current strength, he is no less than the first in the country, but he started late and has no one available under his command.
, only then did she spare her life. If she didn't know what to do, Bai Gui could have replaced her with someone else.
"Get up."
Seeing this scene, Bai Gui was slightly satisfied. After Shanrou straightened up, he groaned and continued: "You should have your master's contact information, summon twenty good men, pretend to be from Qin, and assassinate Lord Xinling
.After ten days, I want to see results."
Lord Xinling is not that easy to assassinate.
Like Lord Mengchang, Lord Xinling's retainers are all top-notch in the world, and he has countless talented people. One time Lord Xinling and the King of Wei were playing chess, and the border said that Zhao was violating the border, but Lord Xinling dissuaded the King of Wei, saying that it was just
King Zhao was hunting. King Wei asked Lord Xinling how he knew about this. Lord Xinling said that his retainers could lurk in the palace of King Zhao to spy on King Zhao's secrets.
Bai Gui asked Shanrou to send his assassins to assassinate Lord Xinling Wei Wuji, but he didn't believe they could succeed. Assassinating Lord Xinling was more difficult than assassinating Juluhou.
Cao Qiudao is a swordsman of the Qi Kingdom on the surface, but privately he is the assassin leader of various countries.
"Master, I have Master's contact information, but..."
A look of embarrassment appeared on Shanrou's face, "I lost a man last time and I can't get any favors from the master. It will be very difficult to send twenty more good men like last time... unless the master is willing to support the assassination of Lord Xinling."
cost."
"The price?" Bai Gui was prepared and not surprised, "What's the price?"
Shanrou sat upright and said with a focused look: "Among the countries, it is the most difficult to assassinate the Seven Kings, but the price of assassinating the Seven Kings is only five thousand gold, while the price of assassinating Lord Xinling and Lord Chunshen is the highest level. The price of assassinating Lord Xinling is the highest level.
It takes ten thousand gold to assassinate Lord Chun Shen and eight thousand gold."
"The defense of the palace of the Seven Kings is not necessarily inferior to that of the Four Young Masters."
Bai Gui frowned.
"Naturally, the seven kings are the most heavily guarded. But to assassinate Lord Xinling, Lord Chunshen must choose another good hand, because these two young masters are well-known in the world. If the assassin knows that he is assassinating these two young masters, 90% of the people will abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side.
Trusting Lord Ling and Lord Chunshen can easily leak the news."
Shanrou hesitated for a moment and replied.
When Bai Gui heard these words, he understood instantly. In a world of low martial arts, defenses are only as tight as they are. But Lord Xinling and Lord Chunshen are different. They are famous in various countries, and most of their assassins are
You knights, if you hear that you want to assassinate these two young masters, you will not be willing to take action. Even some moral people may kill themselves when they hear that they want to assassinate Lord Xinling and Lord Chunshen.
These words are not false talk, but they are indeed possible.
"Ten thousand gold..., I don't have any."
Bai Gui shook his head. The amount of ten thousand gold is not small. The Qin State cannot use this much money to bribe the ministers of the six countries in a year. Of course, this is just a fictitious price set by Cao Qiudao to prevent any bastard from acting impulsively.
Go and assassinate the Seventh King and the Four Young Masters. If someone really buys the lives of the Seventh King and the Four Young Masters, it would be worth the money.
"Juluhou, my father's house, how much are you asking for?"
He thought for a while and asked.
"Juluhou..."
Shanrou was startled for a moment, and then replied without thinking: "It only costs one thousand five hundred gold to assassinate Julu Hou Zhao Mu. Most of the princes and ministers of the six kingdoms pay this price. As for Qin, it is another calculation. Qin's legalist rule of the country,
The rule is strict, and you need to take care of yourself before you can pass."
"Ten thousand gold..." Bai Gui stood up and walked around. If he were still in the world of Journey to the West now, he could easily get out ten thousand gold with the Midas touch. But now it is not appropriate to use too much magic power to conjure ten thousand gold.
Gold, it would be better for him to just grab 10,000 gold. He thought about it, randomly pinched a stone sunspot from the chess basket in the post house, and then poured a wisp of sword energy from Gan Jiang Sword into it.
"You pass this chess piece to Cao Qiudao and say that this chess piece is worth ten thousand gold."
After he finished speaking, he threw the black piece into Shanrou's hands.
The black piece fell into his hand, and Shanrou was almost knocked down by the black piece. After a wisp of sword energy was poured into the piece, it was at least thousands of times heavier than before.
For Cao Qiudao to be called a swordsman by his contemporaries, he must have touched a certain level of transcendence. This wisp of sword energy is not visible to the eye, but Cao Qiudao can definitely see it.
The way forward….
Hope for the future can be bought with more than ten thousand gold.
As long as Cao Qiudao has a little bit of brain, he will do what he asks. If Cao Qiudao refuses and dares to come to him secretly and want to take it by force, it is easy. Treat him like a kind and gentle person, and he will immediately
He will control a large-scale assassin organization. Even if he cannot travel around the world with this, he will soon make up for his shortcomings of insufficient manpower.
As for why he doesn’t control the kings of the Seven Kingdoms, it’s also simple. Not to mention that Bai Gui’s method of controlling people by prohibiting him should not be used casually, so as not to add too many causes and effects. Now that you have entered the chess game, it is best to act according to the rules, little one
If there are too many methods, it will inevitably cause the displeasure of the heavens in this world. Secondly, the king of the seven kingdoms gathered people one by one to look for luck and went to control these seven people. He did not want to experience in the world of Qinji...
"Yes, Master."
He bowed his head kindly and softly, and retreated to the other courtyard of the post house.
Although she doesn't understand the meaning of this sunspot, the unusual weight of this sunspot alone will double the price of this sunspot and turn it into a rare treasure. Like Ruohe's Bi, it is priceless.
.
…
The next day.
A carriage set off from the post house and stopped at the door of Lord Xinling's mansion.
Bai Gui sat in the carriage and waited patiently.
Ji Yanran invited the ministers of Wei to discuss major affairs of the country, and she would never miss inviting Lord Xinling. Similarly, the reason why the banquet at Yahu Xiaozhu is so famous is because Lord Xinling occasionally participated in it. In addition, Lord Shaoyuan also
It is impossible for a lustful person to hear about this banquet and remain indifferent.
His retainers can all get invitations to Yaqin Xiaozhu's banquet, so there's no reason why Mr. Shao Yuan can't get them.
Not long after, the side door of Lord Xinling's mansion opened, and several carriages sped out, stopping next to the carriage where Bai Guisu was sitting.
Bai Gui leaned forward from the carriage, cupped his hands and said, "I have met Mr. Xinling and Mr. Shaoyuan."
As he leaned out, the curtains of the two carriages in the front were also opened, revealing the appearance of two men, one middle and one young, both with smiles on their lips. The young man was Shaoyuan Jun.
The middle-aged man is naturally the Lord of Xinling, Wei Wuji. Although he is already in his sixties, he is well-maintained. His temples are slightly gray, and his face does not look old. Instead, he looks like a young man in his thirties or forties. In addition, he has an impressive figure.
It's heroic.
"Uncle, this man is Mr. Li, the number one swordsman in our Zhao Kingdom."
Lord Shaoyuan introduced Lord Xinling to Wei Wuji.
"The First Swordsman?"
Lord Xinling glanced at Bai Gui with slight surprise. He saw that Bai Gui was only a young man with a delicate face. He looked more like a playboy raised by a woman in a deep palace. He didn't look like a top swordsman at all. But he didn't look like a top swordsman at all.
After exposing Lord Shaoyuan, Bai Gui must be outstanding in being able to send envoys to the Zhao Kingdom. He nodded slightly and said: "Young Master Li has made great achievements at a young age. In time, he will definitely be the pillar of the Zhao Kingdom."
"Mr. Xinling, thank you very much."
"If people in the market say that Li is similar to Lord Xinling, he will be extremely happy."
Bai Gui praised Mr. Xinling.
The four young masters are all people with good reputations, otherwise it would be impossible to accumulate such a huge reputation. His words played into Lord Xinling's wish, and the way he looked at Bai Gui became more cordial.
"It's getting late, you and I should go to Yaqin Xiaozhu early."
Lord Xinling raised his eyes to look at the sky and said.
A group of motorcades moved along in a busy manner.
"I didn't expect that Lord Xinling would also covet Ji Yanran. Also, Lord Xinling is famous in various countries for his good wine, sedate rooms and beauty. He has always been a lustful person..."
Sitting in the carriage, Bai Gui cursed.
He could see the trace of anxiety deep in Lord Xinling's eyes. Even though he couldn't use his magic power and use his mental powers now, he could still peek into one or two people's hearts.
It's just that... Lord Xinling is old-hearted, which is a bit beyond his expectation.
The carriage and horse soon turned into a path with whirling trees. In front of it was a quiet and elegant garden courtyard. On it was a plaque with the name "Yahu Xiaozhu".
The three of them got off the carriage, followed closely by several diners.
"Hongying Young Master Lian Jin?" Lord Xinling was slightly surprised when he saw Lian Jin behind Bai Gui, and then withdrew his gaze. Lian Jin's defection to Julu Hou could not be hidden from his eyes and ears, but he did not expect that, Lian Jin actually became Bai Gui's personal bodyguard. After all, Lian Jin was also a famous swordsman in various countries, so it was a certain humiliation to be the bodyguard of the son of a high official.
People like Lian Jin are usually treated as honored guests by ministers.
However, Lord Xinling only looked at it for a moment and then withdrew his gaze. He introduced Lord Shao Yuan and Bai Gui: "The mistress of Yahu Villa, Ji Yanran, is well-known in various countries. She has great talents and is married to the widow Qing." Ranked as one of the two most amazing women today..., it’s hard for me to kiss and be charming, so it depends on the two of you."
If he had used force, Ji Yanran might have come to serve him at his house today. But even though he loved beauty, he would not do such a despicable thing.
While the three of them were chatting and joking, they entered the main hall of Yahu Villa.
In the main hall, there are seven or eight rows of tables and tables, and in the main seat, a bead curtain is hung down to cover the people behind the scenes. The people behind the scenes cannot see clearly, and can only see the dim and graceful figures. There is also a high bun with a few bead hairpins inserted in the hair... At this moment, the woman is sitting upright and playing the piano. As her bare hands lightly brush the surface of the piano, beautiful notes are heard from behind the bead curtain.
Needless to say, the person behind this is Ji Yanran.
"Please take your seat, Mr. Xinling."
Seeing Lord Xinling coming, Ji Yanran didn't dare to take it seriously, so she stood up and invited him.
Her voice is gentle and graceful, like a wind chime, and extremely clear.
Mr. Xinling was sitting on a side table near the bead curtain, closest to Ji Yanran. There was only one side table, and presumably it was only specially furnished for Mr. Xinling.
"This is Lord Shaoyuan, the son of Lord Pingyuan."
After Lord Xinling took his seat, he pointed at Lord Shaoyuan, then pointed at Bai Gui, and said with a smile: "This is Zhao Li, the son of Juluhou of Zhao Kingdom."
Unlike Lord Pingyuan and Lord Xinling, Zhao Mu, the Marquis of Julu, had a lot of bad reputation.
Several of the scholars sitting there whispered and criticized Bai Gui.
"Is this Mr. Li?"
"I heard that Young Master Li has outstanding swordsmanship and is the best swordsman in the Zhao Kingdom. I never thought that Yanran would be lucky enough to meet Young Master today..." Ji Yanran bowed slightly and said softly.
"In the Wei Kingdom, Lord Long Yang is the best in swordsmanship, and the next one is Miss Ji."
