Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 614 Self-promotion
  Although it failed to heat up the atmosphere, at least there was no dispute on the surface, and Yan Dan was quite satisfied with this.

Nowadays, he is just a rookie who has been washed down to the zero level. He has no money, no one, no strength, and no qualifications to pick and choose, so he pretends that the years are quiet and continues the previous topic.

"Since the Imperial Master and Miss Feiyan are old acquaintances, our cooperation will have an even greater foundation of trust. It couldn't be better."

There was a dark light in Concubine Yan's eyes. She interrupted Yan Dan and asked, "Your Highness, you mean that the Imperial Master will also cooperate to deal with the Yin Yang family?"

Before Yan Dan could answer, Gu Xun replied, "Can't you? My relationship with the Yin Yang family is not very good, otherwise... Miss Feiyan should run away when she sees me."

Concubine Yan lowered her eyes slightly and replied softly, "I thought that the National Preceptor would give the highest priority to the interests of Qin."

Gu Xun stretched out his hand and reminded, "Qin State and the Yin Yang Family are two different things."

Yan Dan felt that the two of them were trying to quarrel again, so he quickly tried his best to interject, "The Imperial Master is right. The Yin Yang family has been plotting for many years, and they have many shady schemes secretly. How can they really be of the same mind as the Qin State?"

Gu Xun was amused. It was good to scold a bald man in front of a monk. He quickly followed up and said, "Yes, yes, His Highness Yan Dan is right."

However, Concubine Yan did not show an annoyed expression. Her mission was to gain Yan Dan's trust by showing her attitude of helping Yan Dan escape from Qin and deal with the Yin and Yang family. Such two simple sentences were childish and had no impact.

Yan Dan secretly observed the attitudes of Gu Xun and Yan Fei, mainly Gu Xun's. He had tested Yan Fei's attitude in many ways before. He still didn't believe the other party, but he would not use such simple words again. Stimulate her.

In the end, he came to the conclusion that... Gu Xun seemed to really hate the Yin Yang family, and his two casual remarks could arouse the other party's agreement.

Concubine Yan calmly changed the topic to the previous channel, "With the help of the Imperial Master, His Highness the Crown Prince will be able to return to Jidu soon, right?"

Gu Xun quickly responded, "Don't worry, I didn't agree to this."

"Ah, yes, I was interrupted by Miss Feiyan just now. What were the conditions that the Imperial Master wanted to say before?" Upon hearing this, Yan Dan quickly brought up the old matters again, intending to finalize the cooperation as soon as possible.

"Oh, conditions?" Concubine Yan immediately looked at Gu Xun curiously.

She had guessed Gu Xun's purpose before.

From her understanding, Gu Xun would not change his mind easily because of threats from others. Since he said he would not attack Yan Dan, it meant that he had no intention of targeting the other party from the beginning, but for something else.

The most likely answer is that Yan Dan, the prince of the Yan Kingdom, will most likely have some secrets about Canglong Qisu.

This is also part of her mission, but it is a secondary purpose. It is a part that can be done if it is convenient, and should be given up if it cannot be done.

Gu Xun leaned back slightly, looked at Yan Dan, and replied in a deep voice:

"The conditions are very simple, and they still have something to do with Canglong Qisu."

Yan Dan's eyes darkened, and he chuckled pretending not to be clear and asked, "Is the Imperial Master also interested in this?"

"I think it's quite fun to find this thing." Gu Xun crossed his arms to his chest and nodded slightly, "So what do you mean?"

Yan Dan smiled bitterly at this, spread his hands and said, "The National Master should be aware of my situation. I went to Qin alone as a hostage. How could I bring something that is related to such confidential matters as Canglong Qisu?"

"I am willing to agree to the conditions, but I still have to wait until I return to Jidu first."

Gu Xun raised his eyebrows, "So this is back to the original question, why should I trust you?"

"This...I can't do anything about it..." Yan Dan could only continue to smile bitterly, "Or...does the Imperial Master have other conditions?"

Gu Xun squinted his eyes, as if thinking, and asked after a moment, "You didn't bring anything, but as the prince of the Yan Kingdom, you can't just have such a box, right?" Yan Dan asked tentatively, "What does the Imperial Master mean?"

"Tell me enough information, related to Canglong Qisu..." Gu Xun pondered for a moment, and then added, "You think it is okay to be related to Canglong Qisu."

Concubine Yan remained calm on her face, but she knew secretly in her heart that Gu Xun was still most interested in all the secret information related to Canglong Qisu.

Yan Dan looked thoughtful, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally replied, "What does the Imperial Master want to know?"

Gu Xun smiled and shook his head, "I don't know either."

"Huh?" Yan Dan looked suspicious.

"It depends on your sincerity, Your Highness Yan Dan, and whether you can give me satisfactory news." Gu Xun replied.

Yan Dan fell silent immediately.

Look at his sincerity... This means that he doesn't specify the price and lets him bid with himself.

But how much ‘sincerity’ is enough? Who can be sure?
  ………………

On the way back, Yan Lingji was disappointed that she couldn't see the real scene of fighting, but she looked at Gu Xun with interest and said, "Shopkeeper, you have changed your style."

"Well, what's wrong?" Gu Xun asked, tilting his head.

"In the past, you always asked yourself what you wanted to ask directly. This time, you changed it to let people speak for themselves."

"Of course, times have changed." Gu Xun turned his head after listening and replied casually, "There is no special reason. I generally don't engage in forced buying and selling business. In the past, prices were clearly marked, and everyone came and went. , but Yan Dan...he is not qualified to negotiate the price with me, I won't force the sale, but he has to buy it, and...he can't negotiate the price."

"A pure seller's market is a monopoly, and monopoly profits are the highest."

"I don't even bother to ask for a high price, so let him raise the price by himself."

Yan Lingji smiled narrowly and said softly, "It seems that our Imperial Master still cares about someone, and he still targeted Yan Dan for this!"

After hearing this, Gu Xun began to seriously reason with Yan Lingji to defend himself, "I'm not targeting Yan Dan. Anyone in his position would be treated the same way."

"Since you have the opportunity to pluck the wool, why should you miss it?"

"But are you sure he knows enough valuable information?" Yan Lingji asked doubtfully.

Gathering wool is good, but the sheep must have wool.

Gu Xun curled his lips and replied nonchalantly, "Whatever, it's best if you have it. If you don't have it, forget it."

If Yan Dan gives a high price, then it doesn't matter if he does a favor. He just uses money to do things. Anyway, what does it matter whether he returns to Yan country or not?

Are you worried that he will try to assassinate Qin by Jing Ke?
  And if he couldn't afford the price, then Gu Xun wouldn't bother to care whether he died or not. If he managed to escape like the original plot, that would be his good luck. If he died directly in Qin, then his fate would be bad.

Although it is said that the Yin and Yang family will most likely not let anything happen to him.

Well... Concubine Yan's matter is another matter.
