Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 96 Lost
  "Oh, it turns out that the fat sheep of the Emerald Tiger collected enough money."

After hearing Zi Nu's explanation, Gu Xun finally knew who was going to give him money.

"This is much earlier than the estimated time he originally gave. Do you know what's going on?"

"It is said that he made a big deal with a wealthy businessman from Qi State. He sold many precious jade articles at a pretty good price and collected enough money."

When Zi Nu spoke, she looked at Gu Xun with half-smiling eyes, with a hint of curiosity.

In the eyes of others, it is not too unusual for a wealthy businessman from Qi State to spend so much money to buy something like the Jade Tiger, because Qi State is really too rich, and it is normal for people to have money and be willing to do this kind of business. After all, The Emerald Tiger is in urgent need of money, and the price will definitely be lowered when selling things. This transaction is profitable.

But for Zi Nu, this matter is a bit special.

Not long after Chen He, who was born in the royal family of the Qi Kingdom, joined the medical clinic, the Emerald Tiger unexpectedly received help from a wealthy businessman from the Qi Kingdom, and fell into Gu Xun's trap at an accelerated pace. Is this a coincidence?
  Smart people don't like to believe in coincidences.

Well... people who are not so smart don't believe it, such as Gu Xun.

He was confused by Zi Nu's answer, but he was also subconsciously doubting Qi Guo in his mind.

But what he suspected was that Qi Guo was making a wrong idea, while Zi Nu suspected that Gu Xun had some unknown connection with Qi Guo.

"Sir, do you really have nothing to do with the Qi royal family?"

After hesitating for a while, Zi Nu asked directly. Everyone was so familiar now, so it was okay to ask, as long as they didn't dig too deep into it or stalk them.

"Hey!" Gu Xun sneered, "Do you think I look like a royal?"

"..."

Gu Xun does not have any pretentiousness that is common among nobles. He treats (strangers) equally and treats things (not related to him) equally, but...

"If you talk about your arrogant and domineering energy, it does look like it."

Gu Xun's mouth twitched and he defended himself, "I am free and unrestrained, wanton and indulgent in life, not arrogant and domineering. I am not the same type of person as those dandy boys who fly around."

This is not nonsense. In the past, in the animal world, if you asked all over the world, who would not admit this?
  Zi Nu, on the other hand, just returned a slightly sarcastic smile and did not try to argue with him.

"Do you think this is a coincidence?"

Gu Xun shook his head, "Of course not, there must be something wrong with Qi State."

Zi Nu's eyes became solemn. From what Gu Xun said, he should really have nothing to do with the Qi royal family, but the Qi Kingdom was definitely eyeing him.

"Why did Qi Guo focus on you?"

"Who knows?" Gu Xun grinned and did not directly answer Zi Nu. He just warned, "During this period, let your people pay as much attention to the actions of the Qi royal family as possible."

Zi Nu frowned and said, "It can't be done. Zi Lanxuan's intelligence network can't take care of places that far away, and the Qi royal family is so huge..."

"Then just pay as much attention as possible." Gu Xun originally didn't expect Zilanxuan to really find out anything, it was just for fun.

"By the way, has the money from Jade Tiger been delivered?"

Seeing that he deliberately changed the subject and didn't want to talk about Qi Guo, Zi Nu put away the strange color on his face and returned to his usual calm smile, as if he had completely forgotten about Qi Guo's strange movements, but she was silently thinking about it in her heart. , and at the same time, I hope Gu Xun himself can have some ideas...

"Of course not. If the money has been delivered, do you think you can still come to Zilanxuan safely?"

"He sent someone to Zilanxuan to inform me in advance that tomorrow the money will be completely raised and sent over to exchange the contract. I believe he will come to you as soon as the contract is obtained." "That's it." Gu Xunmian He couldn't hide his joy... He had no intention of hiding it at all. He was about to receive his 100,000 gold coins, which was so exciting.

Even in the animal world, where he had achieved such great... fame, he had never earned as much as one hundred thousand points at one time.

Seeing his reaction, Zi Nu couldn't help laughing and scolding: "Money addict."

"Hey~" Gu Xun curled his lips, disapproving of Zi Nu's disdain, acting as if you didn't need the money.

Zi Nu shook her head, too lazy to talk to this guy, and asked instead:
  "What are you going to do after the money is delivered tomorrow? Fall out with the Emerald Tiger directly?"

"How is that possible? I am an honest person. If I say give him the prescription, I will give it to him. Of course, whether he can use it or not is his problem." Gu Xun spread his hands and said with a bad smile.

Anyway, Dr. Gu will not be the first to break the agreement.

If the Emerald Tiger turns against him, no matter how he fights back, it will all be self-defense and is morally justified.

After all, he is also one of the Seven Heroes of Zhangjiajie. Morality and etiquette must not be lost.

Zi Nu didn't bother to care how he played with the Emerald Tiger, but she still cared about other things:
  "After you and Jade Tiger fell out, have you considered the safety of your wife and children? Do you need me to send someone to protect them?"

When Zi Nu spoke, there was a hint of resentment in her tone - directed at Gu Xun.

"Uh... no need." Gu Xun was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Zi Nu to care about this, so he refused after coming back to his senses.

"With Chen He here, no one can even enter my backyard at night."

"Is he trustworthy?" Zi Nu was quite hostile to Chen He. After all, Qi Guo's intentions were unknown at this time.

Gu Xun smacked his lips and replied with a complex expression:

"It's hard to say what Qi Guo is thinking, but Chen He should be fine. Really, his mind is full of martial arts, and he is very convinced of me now."

This child has been tormenting Gu Xun a lot recently.

In view of the additional free labor, Gu Xun purchased a lot of medicinal materials, and now the medicines he provides are not just cold medicines.

The price is that Chen He has to spend a lot of time processing medicinal materials every day and packaging them into more commonly used medicines. If he hadn't been unwilling to learn medical skills, Gu Xun would have wanted him to take on the treatment of some simple patients.

For him who is devoted to martial arts, it can only be said that he is miserable.

But Gu Xun would instill in him a lot of messy so-called martial arts concepts every day, such as being fast and unbreakable, and being able to win without any moves. Anyway, Jin Gu Huang Liang Wen, whatever comes to mind, made him confused and painful. , and don’t want to leave.

Because he heard Gu Xun's nonsense and thought it made sense.

Zi Nu was still a little worried, "Why don't we let them come to Zilanxuan first to avoid it? Chen He... is not the same person after all."

"It's okay, trust me, I won't joke with the lives of mother and daughter."

Just kidding, without Chen He's protection, how could Ye Mu deal with the Amazing Salamander?
  I don’t believe that Hou Bai Yifei in Blood Clothes will come back from the border to attack the Jing Salamander!
  Zi Nu was helpless against his stubbornness and said angrily: "It's up to you."

Gu Xun looked at Zi Nu, who seemed to hate the irony, and smiled without saying anything, feeling quite warm in his heart.

It's not easy to have a few good friends in life, especially since Gu Xun lost seven of them at once not long ago.
