Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 140 The Palace’s Reaction

The food needs to be eaten one bite at a time, and the money needs to be saved bit by bit. The road is long and long, so I will ask for money... from top to bottom.

Gu Xun gestured with his hand for Chen He to follow him, then continued walking towards the medical center and asked at the same time:

"When will this money be delivered?"

"They should send it to the hospital tomorrow at the latest." Chen He replied without thinking, "Money spreads slower than news, but it won't be much later."

"Very good." Gu Xun felt more and more that the Iron Blood Alliance was a treasure, uh... organization. Its financial resources, efficiency, and refreshing level were all much better than Ye Mu.

I would like to be friends with the world!

Then Gu Xun asked again:
  "Chen He, how much cash do you think the Iron Blood Alliance has?"

"..."

Chen He's paralyzed face couldn't help but twitch, and he really couldn't help it.

Do you want to collect wool again?

I also want to ask me how much hair the sacrificial sheep of this Iron Blood Alliance has?
  Can you do something that people do?
  However, Chen He was relatively resilient in the end. After his face twitched a few times, he successfully suppressed his restless heart and replied as calmly as possible:
  "I don't know, I... never pay attention to the affairs of the alliance, but..."

Chen He hesitated for a moment after speaking.

He was thinking about whether he should tell a small lie to deceive Gu Xun to block his crooked idea of ​​the Iron Blood Alliance, but he gave up in the end. Lying was against his principles after all.

"But what?" Gu Xun asked casually when he saw that he had stopped talking after he had turned halfway.

"...It's nothing." Chen He could only reply perfunctorily.

Gu Xun glanced at Chen He. It was rare to see him hesitant, but he did not continue to ask questions. He had no hope of getting any clues.

"Forget it, it's normal that you don't know."

"Let's go back to the hospital."

Study the Iron Blood Alliance's money slowly.

There is also the Qi royal family. Gu Xun has a good business with Qi State. A good business that can easily earn millions of gold. It is not a scam like Xiaoyao Wan, but a real good business.

But he was hesitant.

Although he has no intention of going to court and has no intention of joining Qin as an official, Gu Xun still hopes that Qin can unify the world as soon as possible. He is worried that his deal with Qi will affect the road to unification of the world...

It’s very difficult!

Let’s study it after meeting Qin Wangzheng...

……

In the palace, a woman with a beautiful face and a plump figure wearing a peach-colored dress was hurriedly walking towards the thermal pavilion of Wang An of Han.

She is Hu Meiren, one of the two most beloved concubines of Han Wangan and Mrs. Hu's biological sister.

At this time, there was not even a maid accompanying her, and her expression was sad. Her beautiful face could not hide her paleness, and she would cough a few times from time to time. It seemed that Honglian told Gu Xun that she was infected with the cold. Fake.

She had just received the devastating news that came to the palace from Zuo Sima Mansion - Mrs. Hu had been killed.

More than ten years ago, after their family was robbed by giant thieves and the whole family was wiped out, only the two sisters were left to depend on each other in this difficult world. Although one was a palace beauty and the other was married to a military and political minister, the sisters Neither has any feelings for their husbands.

Madam Hu and Liu Yi respected each other like ice, not to mention Hu Mei and Han Wangan, they were just trying to flatter each other and struggling to survive.

The two sisters' only spiritual comfort is each other.

After hearing about Mrs. Hu's mysterious disappearance a few days ago, she was already anxious and went directly to beg Han Wangan to help find someone.

Han Wangan also attaches great importance to this. After all, he can lose his beloved concubine's sister, so where does this leave him? Liu Yi also obtained the permission of Han Wangan before he could lead the soldiers from the city defense camp to attack the entire city.

Not only was the city of Xinzheng turned upside down, but all the small towns and villages near Xinzheng were searched, but no one could be found.

Faced with this situation, Liu Yi had no choice, Han Wangan had no choice, and Hu Meiren had no choice.

After all, thousands of people can't be found even if they disperse, so what can they do?
  No matter how anxious Hu Meiren was, she could only sit in the deep palace and wait for the news silently, and then... she waited for the news of her sister's death.

When he first heard the bad news, he almost fainted. After crying for a long time, he managed to suppress his sadness, put away his makeup and went to see Han Wangan.

As a concubine, even if she wants to see her sister's body, she must first obtain the consent of Han Wangan, otherwise she will not be able to leave the palace.

When they arrived at the place, Hu Meiren walked in. Han Wangan was wearing a purple silk dress and was drinking wine to warm up.

"Beloved concubine?" Han Wangan was stunned for a moment when he saw Hu Meiren coming. Recently, Hu Meiren was infected with cold and rarely came to see him, except for the last time she came to him about Mrs. Hu's affairs.

Taking a closer look at her face, she saw that she was pale and sad, with some tears that could not be concealed, and she quickly expressed concern:

"What's wrong with my beloved concubine? Are you worried about your sister? Don't worry, I have mobilized all the troops in the city to search, and there will be results soon."

Although there is no clue at all, it does not prevent Han Wang An from deceiving Hu Meiren first and calming her heart.

He also did it for Hu Meiren's good. After all, if he couldn't find her, he could only worry and get angry and hurt his body.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, sister, she... Wuwu..." Hu Meiren didn't finish her sentence, but she couldn't suppress her sadness. She burst into tears again and broke down in sobs.

When Han Wangan saw this situation, it was not good.

Although he is not very smart, looking at Hu Meiren's reaction and what she said half a sentence, it is obvious that Mrs. Hu has a big problem.

He quickly spoke to comfort him:
  "My beloved, don't cry, what happened happened? Come and tell me quickly, I will definitely give you justice!"

Hu Meiren sobbed, barely suppressed her crying, and finished what she just said:
  "Your Majesty...Zuo Sima Mansion sent me a message earlier...saying...that my sister...she was killed!"

When he heard that it was exactly what he had guessed, Han Wangan immediately became furious.

Under the feet of him, the King of Han, in the royal capital of Xinzheng, the wife of the powerful official Zuo Sima, and even more so the sister-in-law of the King of Han, was killed, which was a slap in the face for him.

"It's unreasonable, it's really unreasonable!" Han Wangan slapped the table in front of him, causing the wine glass to fall to the ground, and then quickly assured his beloved concubine:

"Don't worry, my beloved, I will find the real culprit at all costs and give you an explanation."

Hu Meiren was still sobbing. She ignored Han Wangan's assurance and just begged:
  "Your Majesty, please allow me to see my sister for the last time. She... wu wu..."

At this time, she really wasn't in the mood to make excuses with him, and she didn't believe his guarantee.

If you could find out the truth, my sister would have been found long ago. Why...

Han Wangan didn't care about her rudeness. After all, his only close relative died, and he understood.

"This is natural. My beloved concubine can leave the palace and go to Liu Yi's house at will in the past few days."

"Then... I'm leaving. I'm going to... wuwu, go see my sister."

"Okay." Looking at the crying beloved concubine, King Han also felt distressed, "I will send a team of forbidden troops to protect you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After reluctantly bowing and saluting, Hu Meiren left.

Finally, Han Wangan shouted to the outside with a gloomy old face:

"Xuan General Ji Wuye, Xiangguo Zhangdi, and... forget it, call them both as soon as possible."

Han Wangan also wanted to call Zuo Sima Liu Yi, but he remembered that Mrs. Hu had died and he had to organize the funeral. It was not appropriate to call him at this time, so he gave up.
