The guard received the order and immediately obeyed it.

"Don't worry, my subordinates will find out the identity of this Chu native for you!" the guard said repeatedly, "Even when he and Yelu Han met, what they discussed, and their I can ask you about it next time!”

"It's best this way." Hu Yanwen warned, "Whether the high priest can survive is related to the fate of our Huyan family!"

"The relationship between the Chu people and Yelu Han has become very close. No matter how powerful the doctors he brings are, we can't get in touch with him! Do you understand?" Hu Yanwen warned him again and again, his eyes full of solemnity.

The guard understood his good intentions and solemnly knelt down on one knee towards him, stroking his chest with his hand: "I swear to the Moon God that I will keep your instructions in mind!"

He would never be so stupid as to invite a doctor who was inextricably related to Yelu Han to the Huyan family. That would not save the high priest, but harm the high priest and the entire Huyan family!

Seeing the guards leaving, Hu Yanwen looked at the cold moonlight above his head and sighed deeply.

I don’t know how long I will last like this.

Yeluhan and Yu Wenxu didn't have much time left for him.

Thinking of this, Hu Yanwen frowned and thought carefully.

……

Manxianglou.

A black shadow quickly passed over the patrolling royal city guards and rolled into the house through the slightly opened window.

Inside the house, Gu Ning looked towards the window with clear eyes.

As soon as Xie Yan entered the house, she smelled the strong smell of alcohol on Xie Yan's body.

"Where have you been?" Gu Ning pinched her nose and asked angrily.

Xie Yan knew that he was in the wrong and said, "I went to see an old friend."

Gu Ning narrowed her beautiful eyes and looked at Xie Yan: "Old friend? Is it the spy you mentioned?"

"Sure enough, I can't hide anything from Ning'er." Xie Yan took off his coat, smelling that there was no alcohol on his body, and then stretched out his hand to take Gu Ning into his arms.

Unexpectedly, Gu Ning took a step back and avoided his hand lightly.

"What is the identity of this spy?" Gu Ning asked, "Xie Yan, you shouldn't have expected that we would get this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to attack the Huns, right?"

Looking into Gu Ning's dark peach blossom eyes, Xie Yan sighed softly: "Three years ago."

"There was an excellent opportunity three years ago when the second son of the Wu family sneaked into the south of the Yangtze River. We took this opportunity to kill him and let this old friend come to replace him."

"He is the best at disguise. I feel most at ease having him do this."

Gu Ning's red lips parted slightly: "Have you thought that you would be here today?"

"If I succeed in revenge, the Huns will definitely become my target, and sooner or later I will need his chess piece."

"If he fails..." Xie Yan lowered his eyes and tugged at a sneer on his thin lips, "Then with his ability, he can live a very good life in the Huns."

Gu Ning blinked: "So, now Yu Wenzheng's most powerful counselor, Wu Zixu, who Yu Wenzheng regards as his pillar, is yours?"

Xie Yan nodded slowly: "I am also yours."

"If you have any plans, you can discuss them with him."

Gu Ning approached Xie Yan and said, "How do we discuss this? With his status, there must be many informants around him."

"Early tomorrow morning, he will come to Manxiang Tower in person to negotiate with us on behalf of Yu Wenzheng." Xie Yan said.

"What about Yu Wenxu?" Gu Ning raised an eyebrow, "I heard rumors today that you have defected to Yu Wenxu."

"It's just selling a few carts of salt. It's not cooperation." Xie Yan took a sip of tea and said slowly, "The one with the highest price gets it."

Gu Ning rolled his eyes and chuckled: "Okay! Tomorrow I want to see how your old friend can gain a foothold in the Huns on his own and has not been discovered by anyone so far. A great character."

"It's time to rest." Xie Yan took a few steps forward and before Gu Ning could react, he held Gu Ning's waist tightly.

With a push of his hand, Gu Ning was pulled into his arms. The two of them were very close, and Gu Ning could clearly feel his hot breath on her ears.

Gu Ning's ears quickly turned red, spreading to her face and neck.

Xie Yan said in a hoarse voice at this moment: "You have to pretend to be more realistic."

"Are you pretending?" As soon as Gu Ning asked, Xie Yan showered her with kisses, blocking the rest of her words.

……

Early the next morning, Gu Ning got up lazily. The sunlight outside the window filtered through the gaps and fell into the dim room.

The room had been cleaned. She was so tired last night that she didn't want to move her fingers. Half asleep and half awake, she saw Xie Yan carrying her into the bathtub to clean, and then tidying up the room again. Now all the ambiguous smells have dissipated. .

Gu Ning stretched and shouted tiredly: "Chun Yu."

"woke up?"

The person who came in was not Chunyu, but Xie Yan.

Seeing Xie Yan, Gu Ning felt sore in her back.

She snorted coldly and waved angrily at Xie Yan: "Get out quickly, I want Chunyu to come over!"

"Chunyu and Yue Rong went out to do business." After Xie Yan said this, he stood beside Gu Ning slowly and carefully combed her messy black hair.

Gu Ning rolled his eyes, and he could tell with his toes that Xie Yan did this on purpose.

This man's jealousy was so intense that even when Chunyu served him personally, he would be unhappy for a long time and wished he could take care of everything with his own hands.

"Okay." Gu Ning stretched out his hand lazily, "Change my clothes."

"As ordered." Xie Yan's eyes darkened instantly. The next moment, all the lust in his eyes was restrained, and he carefully put on Gu Ning's clothes and jewelry.

What surprised Gu Ning was that the Feiyun bun that Xie Yan made for her looked decent and not unfamiliar at all.

Xie Yan met her eyes and said softly: "I practiced many times when I was alone in an empty room in Tai Chi Hall."

Gu Ning turned her head away uncomfortably, not daring to look at Xie Yan again, for fear that Xie Yan would say something shocking again.

Xie Yan was much more enthusiastic about getting married than she was.

Seeing Gu Ning evade, Xie Yan smiled helplessly in his heart, but still carefully traced Gu Ning's eyebrows, his voice was very gentle: "Let's go, Wu Zixu is waiting for us."

On the first floor of Manxiang Building, Wu Zixu and a group of people sat here carefree, staring at the stairs all the time.

Seeing a man and a woman coming down together, the man has a handsome appearance and every move he makes is dignified. You can tell at a glance that this person has an extraordinary status.

The woman next to him was wearing a draped hat, and even though she was barely visible, it was still possible to see that the woman was extremely beautiful.

However, men obviously don't have much respect for women, but instead treat them like playthings.

When he saw Wu Zixu, the smile on the man's face became more genuine, and he strode towards Wu Zixu.

"What do you call this young master?" Xie Yan stood in front of Wu Zixu, staring at Wu Zixu and the people behind him, his eyes full of dissatisfying calculations.

The guard behind Wu Zixu was about to attack, but Wu Zixu raised his hand: "Everyone, step back. I want to talk to Mr. Xie in detail in person."

When the guard heard the words, he hesitated for a while. Wu Zixu's eyes had turned cold: "What? Don't you even listen to my words?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the guards walked away cleanly and all retreated outside the door.

Xie Yan also waved to Yue Ming and the others behind him, leaving only Gu Ning who was serving tea and water.

Gu Ning carefully poured a cup of tea for Wu Zixu and Xie Yan each, and then stood obediently behind Xie Yan, like those gentle and caring concubines.

Before Wu Zixu could take a closer look at Gu Ning, he met Xie Yan's warning eyes.

He immediately put down the teacup in his hand and smiled kindly at Gu Ning, but did not speak.

The three of them knew that the walls had ears, and everything they said was true.

Xie Yan acted like a playboy and looked at people sideways: "You want to buy salt too?"

"We have agreed in advance that all my salt has been sold to the Khan of the Huns, and I have no salt at all on hand! But in ten days, my subordinates will send a new batch of salt. You can hand it over first. Give me a deposit and I’ll leave you a few cars.”

Wu Zixu shook his head and sighed under Xie Yan's dissatisfied gaze: "Master Xie, you have been deceived."

"I came here to buy salt today on the orders of the Khan. The person who signed the contract with you before was not the real Khan." Wu Zixu said this and looked at Xie Yan with pity.

When Xie Yan heard this, he was in disbelief at first, and then became furious.

He stood up suddenly, slapped the table and said in a deep voice: "He is not from the Khan? Then who is he?"

"I don't know either." Wu Zixu said helplessly, "If I hadn't arrived in time today, you would have been tricked into taking away a large amount of salt."

At this time, Xie Yan showed his unique folly. He had no doubts about what Wu Zixu said. Instead, he gritted his teeth and said, "Fortunately, it's just five loads of salt! I'm still hiding the rest in the dark." , didn’t give it to him!”

Wu Zixu struck while the iron was hot and took out the token in his hand: "Mr. Xie, you might as well take a closer look. The token in my hand was given to me by the Khan himself, which is enough to prove my identity."

"I will wrap up all the remaining salt instead of Khan." Wu Zixu added another sentence, "We can pay all the money at once."

"And..." Wu Zixu smiled, "We will give you a high price of seven hundred and one tael! How about it?"

Xie Yan suddenly stood up and stared at Wu Zixu's raised finger: "Is it really [-] coins? The person who bought my salt before gave me [-] coins!"

"This person just wants to defraud you of salt, so naturally he will not give you an honest price, but Khan really wants to cooperate with Mr. Xie. If Mr. Xie is not satisfied with the price, he can still go up. carry."

Xie Yan's eyes were filled with light: "Is this true?"

"Of course." Wu Zixu replied immediately, "Khan never lies!"

After a moment, Xie Yan nodded slowly: "Okay! I promise you! This salt is all yours!"

Just as Wu Zixu nodded with a smile, Xie Yan added another sentence: "But you have to give me the money! Pay with one hand and deliver with the other!"

Wu Zixu immediately replied: "This is natural!"

As he spoke, he waved towards the door.

Several guards, sweating profusely, walked in carrying wooden boxes. Wu Zixu opened the wooden box himself, and the yellow gold inside lit up the hall.

Xie Yan stared at the gold, his breathing became rapid, and his original appearance of a handsome young master disappeared at this moment.

The guards looked at him with disgust, but didn't say anything.

"Okay!" Xie Yan waved his hand excitedly, "Deal!"

"Yue Ming, take out all our salt immediately! Give it all to him!" Xie Yan shouted loudly from above.

Yue Ming immediately agreed, and after a while, dozens of people walked out from the back door of Manxiang Tower.

There was such a big commotion in Manxiang Tower, and Wu Zixu brought dozens of guards. Such a big commotion and such a grand pomp naturally aroused the attention of others.

Yeluhan had just returned from Huyan's house last night, exhausted both physically and mentally. Before he could get a good sleep, he heard the guard's hurried knock on the door.

Immediately afterwards, there were excited shouts from the guards.

"General! Something bad has happened! Mr. Wu has taken people to Manxiang Tower! I heard that he has brought several boxes of gold and is going to Manxiang Tower to buy salt!"

Yelu Han sat up straight. He still had a sense of luck: "Didn't I already agree with Mr. Xie that he would sell all the salt to us?"

The guard sighed deeply: "Master Wu keeps saying that he is the person sent by the Khan, but you are lying! Mr. Xie believes it! I am about to accept the gold he sent!"
