Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 95 Muddy the Water
  A few days after Chen He became a helper at the medical clinic, Qi State received a reply informing him of the matter.

Tian Dan did not dare to delay, so he immediately entered the palace to meet Qi Wangjian secretly. This matter was his order. Tian Dan did not dare to make the decision on his own as to what to do next.

The temperature in Qi is generally lower than that in South Korea. Except for the cities near the sea, it is a little better. However, Linzi, the capital of Qi, is not close to the sea and is not included in this list, so it is generally colder. It has snowed before.

King Jian of Qi is now in his forties. According to the average age of ancient people, he can be called an old man. Although his health is not bad, he cannot bear the cold.

Fortunately, he is the King of Qi, one of the richest men in the world, and can enjoy many heating methods that ordinary people cannot use.

At this time, Qi Wangjian was in the conservatory of Qi Palace. There were fire channels around the walls of the conservatory. The palace people burned charcoal in the fire channels, and the heat was conducted along the walls and floors into the palace.

Apart from costing money and people, this heating method is good for everything.

After Tian Dan met Qi Wang Jian, he reported Chen He's movements and further information related to Gu Xun collected by Qi's intelligence network.

"Chen He has successfully entered Guxun's Tianhe Medical Center."

"There are further detailed information about this Guxun... (omitted, too many words to count)"

"This is all the information we can find now."

"Your Majesty, I wonder what we should do next?"

After listening to this, Qi Wangjian closed his eyes and began to meditate. His fingers unconsciously tapped on the table in front of him, "Da... da... da..."

After a while, King Qi Jiancheng spoke, his eyes still closed:

"Don't worry about He'er. Just let him do whatever he wants."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Tian Dan bowed respectfully and obeyed, and then asked hesitantly, "Should we do anything about the doctor named Gu Xun?"

It is obvious from the available intelligence that Gu Xun is setting up a trap to trap the Emerald Tiger. This is definitely not something that an ordinary doctor would do.

"Ha!" An inexplicable smile appeared on Qi Wangjian's face, as if he was expecting something, and there was a slight hint of evil, "Gu Xun... don't provoke him, but we can help him with the Emerald Tiger."

"What the king means is..."

"Isn't he raising money? Let our people help him so that he can raise everything as soon as possible."

Tian Dan's face was a little complicated. Qi Wangjian wanted to push the Emerald Tiger into the trap as soon as possible, but he didn't ask much. He was just an Emerald Tiger. In Korea, he was a figure, but in Qi he was just a ball!

"Yes."

"Also, after their deal is completed, find an opportunity to let the Iron Blood Alliance tell him part of the truth in a subtle way. You can control the proportion yourself."

"Yes."

Qi Wangjian waved his hand, indicating that Tian Dan could leave.

"I take my leave." Tian Dan bowed and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute." Qi Wangjian suddenly stopped Tian Dan who was about to go out.

"I wonder if the king has any other instructions?"

"Try to make things as discreet as possible, especially so as not to attract the attention of the snare."

"Yes."

"And...send a team of Jixia Secret Guards to Xinzheng." "Ah!" Tian Dan's expression suddenly changed, "Your Majesty, this..."

"Just do as I say." Qi Wangjian blocked Tian Dan's attempts to dissuade him, saying that he had made up his mind and asked him to obey the order.

"...Yes, I am resigning."

The Jixia Secret Guard, also known as the Jixiawei, is a secret force within the Qi State and directly subordinate to the King of Qi. Its members are all composed of people from the Tianchen clan. They are very powerful and can be called good players in the world. To put it bluntly, they are equivalent to the most powerful group of killers in Luo Wang.

The predecessor of this army was actually the escort force set up by the Qi royal family to secretly guard Jixia Academy. Originally founded by Duke Huan of Qi, Jixia Academy developed through two generations of Wei and Xuan and reached its peak, with almost all the talented people from all over the world coming and going here. The situation, and then...the man named Le came...

Later, Tian Dan regained the lost territory and reorganized this escort force into the current Jixia Secret Guard. After decades of development, its total number of members is now less than 200. King Jian of Qi just ordered to transfer a team to Xinzheng. The standard number of people in a team is twelve, nearly one-tenth of the total.

If this happens in South Korea, it can be said to be a heavy loss, which is why Tian Dan wants to dissuade him.

After Tian Dan left, Qi Wangjian continued to close his eyes and meditate, his fingers still tapping unconsciously, "Da... da... da..."

Everything he did was to muddy the waters around South Korea, or to be more precise, Gu Xun. He could tell that this man was suppressing his behavior to ensure the stability of Xinzheng, but the purpose was not clear.

And Qi Wangjian wanted to make as many waves as possible.

"Alas!" His thoughts were racing, and Qi Wangjian couldn't help but sigh.

In fact, he didn't want to leave these things to Tian Dan, but unfortunately... although the Qi royal family was large, there were not many talents who could be used. Qi Wangjian's eldest son Tian Sheng, second son Tian Huan and brother Tian Jia were all mediocre. Generations, they can protect themselves, but it is difficult to expect them to accomplish anything.

However, the three brothers Tian and Dan are all very capable, so they have no choice but to use them.

  On the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month (don’t worry about the issue of the pre-Qin calendar), it was extremely cold, and a rare snow fell in Xinzheng City, although it was just a light snow.

Most of the people were huddled at home, and the roads were empty. After all, the effectiveness of cold-proof clothing in this era was still average. They couldn't bear the snow.

Gu Xun was walking alone on the street, his erhu still hung around his waist, his body covered with a layer of crystal white snowflakes, and the surrounding area was white.

It was Zi Nu who sent someone to look for him today, otherwise he wouldn't be willing to go out.

When they arrived at the place, Gu Xun shook his body, shook off all the snowflakes, and was led by the maid to where Zi Nu was.

It was not the large reception room where we usually met, but a small room. The room was very warm because there was a smoker and the space was small.

Gu Xun probably chose this place because Zi Nu couldn't bear the cold weather.

Zi Nu was sitting next to the incense burner.

This thing doesn't burn charcoal. The main fuel is spices (not the kind we eat now). There is no risk of carbon monoxide poisoning, but the smell is too strong. Even though it is fragrant, Gu Xun can't stand it anymore, so he can only use the breath-holding method to restrain it. Breathe, change to internal breathing.

"Sir, come and sit, it's warmer here." Zi Nu saw Gu Xun coming in and waved to him.

Although Gu Xun is not cold, how can he refuse the beauty's invitation? He squeezed next to Zi Nu without any courtesy.

"What do you want from me?"

Zi Nu didn't pay attention to Gu Xun's rudeness, and poured him a cup of hot tea in an elegant manner. She smiled and said, "Good thing!"

"Good thing? What good thing can happen? Does anyone want to give me money?"

"Correct."

"what?"
