Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 162 Money comes again
  Gu Xun felt that letting Yan Lingji do chores during business hours might not be a wise decision.

She's so attractive.

Although the effect is the same for handsome men and beautiful women, women in this era are quite restricted after all and are not as free as men.

Gu Xun's gunpowder, which he had rarely used in the past, sold quite a few copies again this morning, but this time it was mainly sold to men.

Chen He was not very happy about this, because the gunpowder was sold out and he had to make medicine again.

When the time for the consultation was up, Gu Xun packed his things and said to Yan Lingji beside him:
  "Next time when I have a consultation, you can take a rest wherever you like. Wait until the break time to clean up the house."

Yan Lingji, who was sitting on the chair she brought from the backyard, was perfectly fine with this. She wished she could have more free time so that she could find and contact Wushuang Ghost and others.

Of course, now she will no longer think about joining forces to deal with Gu Xun. She only hopes to find Wushuanggui and others and let them collect money for her.

I hope Gu Xun keeps his word.

After that, Chen He wanted to leave on his own. Today he would not go to Zilanxuan with Gu Xun to eat.

In fact, he never liked going to Zilanxuan to eat because it was time-consuming and troublesome. Yesterday, Gu Xun said he was welcoming new employees and forced him to go.

But before he could go out, a guest that Gu Xun had been waiting for for a long time came to the hospital - the envoy of the Iron Blood Alliance.

It's still an armored scimitar, and the mask covers the face. It's extremely conspicuous in broad daylight, more conspicuous than the bright silver armor that Chen He wore back then. If Gu Xun had died, he wouldn't have worn this on the street. How shameful!

He walked into the medical center and first gave Gu Xun a fist-cup salute:
  "I've met Mr. Gu."

Gu Xun nodded casually and dealt with it.

Then he saluted Chen He again:
  "I've seen Chen He worship."

Chen He just nodded coldly and said nothing.

Yan Lingji watched the interaction between the three people in front of her with interest. Who is this armored man? Why is he so respectful to Gu Xun and Chen He, especially the name he calls Chen He...enshrine?
  Could it be that this person was sent by the forces behind Gu Xun for a certain mission?

Yan Lingji's heartbeat couldn't help but speed up a bit, and she was thinking wildly in excitement.

Gu Xun did not talk nonsense with the people from the Iron Blood Alliance, but asked the key questions directly:

"Has the stuff been delivered?"

"It has been delivered. Where do you think it should be placed, sir?"

Considering that the money was sent to Zilanxuan last time, this person asked this question.

But there is no need to go to such trouble this time.

"Send it to the back yard and put it in an open space that won't affect walking." Gu Xun raised his hand and pointed at the back door and warned, "Remember to keep the noise down, as there are children."

"No problem, it will be delivered later." The man from the Iron Blood Alliance hugged his fist again, "Sir, if you have nothing else to do, I will take my leave."

This person was not too surprised that Gu Xun allowed them to enter and leave the backyard at will. According to the available intelligence, on the night of the palace fire, a mysterious master seemed to sneak into the hospital secretly at night and beat them severely. This shows that this house is not simple.

Gu Xun waved his hand indifferently, "You can do whatever you want."

The other party saluted Chen He again and left.

As soon as the other party left, Yan Lingji quickly came up and asked curiously:

"Shopkeeper, who is that?"

Gu Xun turned his head and glanced at her - he was always so curious. If he had been a cruel master, he would have sent her away long ago.

However... there is no need to hide the matter of the Iron Blood Alliance.

By the way, does this native girl from Baiyue know about the Iron Blood Alliance?

"That's the messenger of the Iron Blood Alliance."

True to Gu Xun's guess, Yan Lingji's eyes immediately flashed with confusion when she heard this, and she asked:
  "Iron Blood Alliance? What kind of force is that?"

At the end, she also complained, "This name doesn't sound very good. It feels like an unknown small force..."

Gu Xun couldn't help but nodded, feeling the same way. The name of the Iron Blood Alliance always gave him the feeling of an ancient online novel, especially when compared with the names of other forces. Even the night scene of General Yuji sounded very charming. . Iron Blood Alliance, no matter how you listen to it, it feels very low.

Chen He, who is worshiped by the Iron Blood Alliance as a small force:...

"It's just a gangster force, mainly engaged in gambling guarantees." Gu Xun explained simply, and pointed at Chen He, "By the way, Chen He is a member of the Iron Blood Alliance, worshiped by Ke Qing, and is mainly responsible for protecting people when someone forcibly breaks a contract. Use physical persuasion.”

Chen He didn't care that his identity was leaked by Gu Xun, so he stood up, said something and left.

"I'm leaving first, sir."

"Okay." Gu Xun waved his hand, indicating that he could help himself.

Yan Lingji was still confused. Guarantee for the bet... Do you still need a guarantee for the bet? Why are there still forces dedicated to this?

Yan Lingji, a Baiyue girl who thinks she is honest and trustworthy, but is actually a bad person, cannot understand the behavior of not acknowledging the bet.

People from the Central Plains are very cunning and like to break their promises.

But Gu Xun's words seemed to reveal that... he and Chen He were not from the same force?

Gu Xun laid out the messy things and prepared to go to Zilanxuan for dinner. He asked Yan Lingji by the way:
  "I'm going to Zilanxuan for dinner. Are you going to do it yourself or come with me?"

Yan Lingji followed decisively.

Her original plan was not to go, just to have a meal. She had many ways to do it on her own, but because of the incident of the Iron Blood Alliance's arrival, she became curious and wanted to ask Gu Xun more.

The two walked side by side on the road, still receiving the baptism of gazes from passers-by.

"Shopkeeper, what did the Iron Blood Alliance give you?"

"Oh, it's nothing, it's just money." Gu Xun replied casually.

"money?"

"Yes, it's money. The Iron Blood Alliance tried to trip me up before, but I found out about it and took the opportunity to demand a compensation of thirty thousand gold."

"Thirty thousand gold? What did they do to compensate you so much?"

It is difficult for me to get 10,000 to 20,000 gold as ransom money in Xinzheng City. What kind of iron-blooded alliance can just pay 30,000 gold?

She felt that prices were a little confusing.

"The Iron-Blooded Alliance guarantees a commission for the gambling, and the owner is not short of money." Gu Xun explained with the corner of his mouth curled up.

Yan Lingji's curiosity was not satisfied at all, but became more intense.

No matter how rich the power is, it is impossible to lose money casually. How did Gu Xun do it?

"Such a powerful force would casually pay you such a large sum of money?"

"The specific reasons are very complicated, and you don't need to know." Gu Xun did not answer her this time, and blocked her way to continue asking. "Okay, don't ask endless questions. There are so many questions every day!"

How can I spare the time to give you a little explanation? It has nothing to do with you.

Yan Lingji saw that there was indeed no interesting information to obtain, and she was not interested in going to Zilanxuan with Gu Xun.

"Shopkeeper, you can go eat by yourself, I'm leaving."

Gu Xun didn't stop him, but just warned him, "Don't cause trouble, you know?"

"Don't worry, it won't affect your status as a good citizen of Xinzheng." Yan Lingji showed a mocking smile, and spoke in a coquettish voice with eccentric words.

　Next chapter before twelve o'clock.

　　Let's see if it's too late...

　　I don’t have to work anymore tomorrow, but I want to take a little rest, maybe two more.
