Start by summoning Black Death Mou

Chapter 55 Trading
Gu Chen was thinking, he was weighing the pros and cons.

If the conditions proposed by the middle-aged man are not high, it is actually not a bad idea to agree to him, anyway, Gu Chen has no loss.

Using a very common condition to exchange information from the middle-aged man is a very profitable thing in anyone's eyes, and it is not worthless.

If it were someone else, he might have agreed to the other party's request at this moment, but Gu Chen was suspicious. Ever since he was almost assassinated by his trusted maid, Gu Chen's suspicion became more and more serious.

The more the middle-aged man asked so much, the more Gu Chen felt that there was something wrong with it.

Tapping his fingers on the long table in front of him where the instruments of torture were placed, Gu Chen asked:

"what do you want?"

"Help me... help me get my grooming done, and then... give me a mirror."

The middle-aged man showed death intent on his brows, he smiled wryly and said to Gu Chen: "...I won't hide it from you, if I tell what I know, I won't be able to live, so at least before I die, I hope I Can...be human."

"The only requirement is this?"

"only this……"

After the middle-aged man said this, he let out a long breath, expelling the stale air in his chest, and then coughed violently for a while, coughing up a few mouthfuls of blood, and it took a long time to calm down.

Looking at the embarrassed appearance of the middle-aged man, Gu Chen also sighed, and said:
"Okay, I promise you, but the order of the transactions needs to be reversed. You tell what you know first, and then I will meet your requirements."

Originally, when Gu Chen said yes, the middle-aged man's face was a little more happy, but when he heard Gu Chen's words behind him, the middle-aged man suddenly froze again:
"I... I have clearly decided to tell you this, why... you still can't agree to my request?"

"I didn't say no to agreeing to you, I just want you to tell what you know first, and then I will meet your request."

"You...how can you—! Cough cough cough cough cough cough cough...!"

Gu Chen's answer made the middle-aged man very excited. He struggled angrily, as if he was about to rush up and beat Gu Chen up.

But the next moment, he was dragged back by the chains that restrained him, and at the same time, he coughed hastily because of the wounds on his body due to the overly violent reaction.

Unlike Gu Chen's pretended cough, the middle-aged man was really coughing because of his own injury, and his posture looked as if he was going to cough to death in the next moment.

Gu Chen turned a blind eye to the scene in front of him, his sympathetic expression returned to indifference, and he said in an extremely calm tone:

"I don't understand why you are so excited. The conversation between you and me is like a business. The condition I promise you is the principal, and the news you promise to tell me is the goods.

"Some people like to pay first and then get the goods, and some people like to get the goods first and then pay, and I belong to the latter. I like to get what I want first, and then give you the money. Even this seems to me It's already a huge concession, after all, you don't have the right to choose at all, do you?"

The middle-aged man is a prisoner, and he is not qualified to ask Gu Chen to ask for conditions. Gu Chen has made a huge concession to agree to him.

But the middle-aged man didn't seem to think much, he stared at Gu Chen firmly, and said:
"If according to what you said...you are the seller and I am the buyer, and I have already paid a deposit, and I will tell you how to use the Feiyan knife, which is the deposit!"

"Now I don't need it."

He has always disliked accidents, and now that he doesn't know anything, Gu Chen must ensure that his actions will not cause new accidents.

Therefore, he will not easily agree to the conditions of the person in front of him, unless he can put forward a price that will make Gu Chen more tempted.

"It seems that you can't give any other chips, so let's do it, it's a waste of time."

Gu Chen got up, ready to end this conversation and leave here.

But just two steps away, he suddenly heard the middle-aged man behind him say:
"...My name is Yan Xin."

Gu Chen stopped and turned to look at the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man lowered his head and continued:

"Affiliated to... the Imperial City Division... yes, the... supervisor who is in charge of the hidden guards."

"Imperial City Division..."

Gu Chen frowned and pondered. The name of the Imperial City Division sounds familiar. It seems to be a department in the capital of Daqi that is responsible for the security of the imperial city. It is similar to the Forbidden Army, but has greater power than the Forbidden Army. Generally will not leave the capital.

Supervisor seems to be a relatively high position in the Imperial City Division, but Gu Chen doesn't know much about the Imperial City, because Hei Si Mou said that there are many strong people in the capital, and Gu Chen didn't dare to let ghosts go to the capital to investigate , little is known about it.

"People from the Imperial City Division, why did they come here?"

Gu Chen asked suspiciously.

The man who claimed to be Yan Xin said: "By the order of the Holy One...to collect the world's magic soldiers..."

"lie."

Before Yan Xin could finish speaking, Gu Chen sneered.

Gu Chen has never met Emperor Daqi, and he doesn't know much about the imperial power in this world, but according to the rumors he heard and some information collected in the Tao family during this period, Emperor Daqi doesn't seem like a The appearance of being emptied by rights.

Although he has been obsessed with the method of longevity and long-term vision in recent years, he still maintains control of the court situation, and there is no such role as the regent.

That is to say, Emperor Daqi still possesses great power. If he wants to collect something, there is no need to do it secretly. After an imperial decree, the entire Pinghu Division will probably be activated to collect magic weapons for him.

Why bother to secretly send the secret guards directly under him?
Seeing Gu Chen's face full of disbelief, Yan Xin smiled bitterly and said:
"I... know you don't believe me, the Holy One has such a high status, if you really want a magic weapon, why let me wait for the hidden guards to do it secretly?
"But... this is the truth, Your Majesty... He didn't want anyone to know about it, and he even told me that even if I had an accident or got into trouble, he absolutely must not reveal his identity...

"That is to say, from the moment we received the mission to the time we completed it, we all lost our official status, we were no longer members of the Imperial City Division, and... we were no longer secret guards..."

That's why Yan Xin refuses to reveal who he is no matter what?Is this an order from above?

Gu Chen was thinking, and didn't continue to ask, but Zi Tong, who was beside him, continued to ask aloud under his secret hint:
"Why would His Majesty do this?"

Yan Xin didn't reply, his eyes continued to stare at Gu Chen, and said:
"You...Promise me, when it's over, give me a face...Give me a mirror to let me see myself now, I...I'll tell you all about it. "

Yan Xin didn't ask Gu Chen to give him what he needed in advance, but made a concession and asked Gu Chen to give him the things after he finished speaking.

Gu Chen pondered for a while, nodded to Yan Xin and said:
"Okay, go ahead."

While talking, he beckoned Lu Niang to serve a cup of warm tea, and listened to Yan Xin's narration while drinking tea.
