Chapter 338 Exchange of Soldiers and Horses
Therefore, when his subordinates reported that someone was paying [-] soldiers and horses to inquire about a piece of news, he decided to come out to meet in person.

Gu Jingcheng said slowly, "There is no news that Wuwu Pavilion can't find out, but how can Mister prove that he can afford this reward?"

The Inorganic Pavilion was established when Gu Jingcheng was in power, and it has been used by him and others. It is only now that it needs to recruit troops and horses to show its prominence, but it has quickly become famous. I don't know how this person in front of me found him.

He has investigated that Si Chen's background is very clean, he is not from the capital city, but he doesn't know anything about the rest, but the more so, the more strange it seems, this person is by no means as simple as it appears on the surface.

Si Chen chuckled, took out two 5000 taels of banknotes from his pocket, and said in a steady voice, "Tonghui Bank, you can withdraw it at will, and the 1 taels will be regarded as a deposit. With both hands."

"What do you want?" Gu Jingcheng looked at him vigilantly and asked aloud.

"A person or something." Si Chen thought for a while and said.

Gu Jingcheng frowned, didn't answer, looked at him fixedly, and told him intuitively that this person was very dangerous, at least he knew himself well, and knew that the most wicked of him now was soldiers and horses, yet he offered his hands to him, he had no respect for Jingdu. What is your ambition?Is it the praying mantis catching the cicada, with the oriole behind?

No, he doesn't care about the situation in Kyoto, or rather, he doesn't care about Kyoto at all.

What kind of a person is able to deploy [-] soldiers and horses, but is indifferent to the situation in the world.

Thinking of this, Gu Jingcheng also asked, "Who are you?"

Si Chen chuckled, looked at Gu Jingcheng's expression as if facing a formidable enemy, and said in a relaxed tone, "The rules of Tianji Pavilion, don't ask where they come from, don't ask where they're going, isn't that what Mr. Gu decided?"

Gu Jingcheng pursed his lips, it is true, but, "Since this is the case, Gu needs to consider this business."

"Yes." Si Chen seemed to have known that he would say this, and stood up, "But I've always been impatient, so I ask Mr. Gu to make a choice early. After all, the opportunity is never to be missed. Two days later, here and now, Waiting for you, take your leave." After Si Chen finished speaking, he turned and left, neither humble nor overbearing.

His voice was light but hit his heart heavily, Gu Jingcheng frowned fiercely, and called out the man in black to investigate Si Chen's identity.

In the courtyard outside Shili City.

Ding Chengren waited aside with his head bowed, while Gu Jingcheng frowned, as if he was thinking about something.

Seeing this, Ding Chengren said, "Master, the Wuwu Pavilion can't find any clues about Si Chen."

Gu Jingcheng's face was calm and there was no accident, but he hesitated thinking about the business he was talking about and the [-] soldiers, "Your Majesty, since he wants to find people and things, this is nothing to Tianji Pavilion. It can be said to be very suitable!"

Seeing this, Ding Chengren spoke at the right time, for fear that Gu Jingcheng would reject Si Chen.

Gu Jingcheng shook his head, obviously a little uneasy, "There is no free lunch in the world, what person or thing can be more important than [-] soldiers??"

Gu Jingcheng narrowed his eyes, the candlelight reflected the figure on the wall, and the candlelight danced.

Ding Chengren naturally couldn't answer, but the [-] soldiers were too tempting.

"He investigated our details thoroughly, but we knew nothing about him." Gu Jingcheng frowned.

"Could it be someone from Gu Jingyao? Is it a conspiracy?" Ding Chengren frowned. He had never heard of such a person in the capital city.

"No." Gu Jingcheng shook his head.

"Then master, will you agree?" Ding Chengren looked at him nervously.

"Naturally, the opportunity cannot be easily let go. However, one must also be careful about playing with fire and self-immolation. How are the soldiers and horses recruited?"

Gu Jingcheng shook his head, then looked at Ding Chengren and said.

Ding Chengren was a little embarrassed, "Since Qin Yi became the leader of the imperial army, the soldiers and horses in the city have been guarded even tighter, and there is very little business on the black market."

Gu Jingcheng frowned, obviously he didn't want to hear what he said, the man immediately lowered his head and said, "However, Yao'er has already married into the general's mansion, and my subordinates must find a way to make the subordinates who instigated Lin Yinyi's rebellion work for us!"

Gu Jingcheng snorted softly when he heard the words, looked at him with a half-smile, and said, "I forgot that Mr. Ding is now the father-in-law of my good brother's confidant."

Ding Chengren's expression paused, and for a moment he was not sure what he meant by his words. Sweat dripped from the corner of his forehead, and he hurriedly said, "The master is joking, and the subordinates are naturally to complete the master's great cause. The whole Ding family is only the master. Follow the lead!"

"Master Ding, don't be nervous. I know that you are so loyal that you even did not hesitate to let your only daughter marry into the general's mansion. Don't worry, my lord. After I finish my great work, I will definitely not treat you badly." Gu Jingcheng said with a sudden smile.

Ding Chengren breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, master!"

"Well, let's go down, don't forget your promise." Gu Jingcheng's mouth seemed to be unintentional, but it was full of threats.

Ding Chengren quickly responded and left tremblingly.

—— General's Mansion

Li Xiaoyue had a very pleasant time these few days, Lin Yinyi was considerate and gentle, not like a military commander, Mrs. Lin also loved Li Xiaoyue very much, and always said that the daughter taught by the empress could not be wrong.

The husband and wife sang in harmony, raised their eyebrows together, and became a good story in the capital for a while, so that everyone seemed to forget that there was a talented woman who was famous in the capital in the general's mansion.

"Princess, this green plum wine is specially sent by the son-in-law, thinking that the princess likes it!" The personal maid smiled and looked at Li Xiaoyue with a smile on her face.

"Well, let's put it away." Li Xiaoyue nodded, she was wearing a gorgeous bright yellow dress, and her bun was more dignified.

The maid turned around in response but bumped into Ding Yao who came over to pay her respects, her smile faltered instantly, and she saluted disrespectfully, "Aunt Ding."

With a proper smile on Ding Yao's face, she bent her knees and stepped forward, "Yao'er greets my sister, my sister is happy and safe."

Li Xiaoyue also suppressed her smile, and said in a neutral tone, "I only have one younger sister in the palace, Auntie Ding should call me Princess."

"." Ding Yao was slightly stunned, as if she didn't expect her to be so merciless, embarrassment flashed across her face, and then she squeezed out a smile, and leaned down to salute again, "Yes, Princess Yao'er has unfortunately become infected these days. The wind and cold, so I came today to greet Her Highness the Princess."

From the day of getting married to now, Lin Yinyi didn't even step into the side courtyard, and stayed in Li Xiaoyue's room every day, but Ding Yao claimed to be sick, probably because she wanted to leave herself with a last bit of decency.

"Auntie Ding's health is important, so there's no need to come here to pay her respects. Although I am a princess, I don't like seeing strangers the most. When my aunt's health recovers, I don't need to come to pay my respects every day. I won't blame you." Li Xiaoyue She opened her mouth lightly, but Ding Yao felt ashamed, angry and embarrassing. Her words were saying that she was not worthy to appear in front of her, even if she served tea and water, she was not worthy to wait on the sidelines.

Ding Yao bit her lower lip tightly, thinking of her father's advice in her heart, she said in a steady voice, "Yes, Yao'er can save it, then Yao'er will leave."

Seeing her leaving back, Li Xiaoyue's eyes shone with coldness, she didn't have to treat a woman who used her chastity to plot against her husband with courtesy.
