After hearing this, Yeluhan couldn't sit still anymore.

He put on his clothes as quickly as possible, then rode on the horse that the guards had prepared, and galloped all the way to Manxiang Tower.

Seeing Xie Yan about to press his fingerprints on the piece of paper, he shouted anxiously: "Wait a minute!"

Yeluhan ran in with disheveled hair and no manners.

At the same time, the guards of the Yelu family also came forward and surrounded Wu Zixu and Xie Yan.

The guards of the Wu family did not show any weakness and followed suit. The Manxiang Building, which was originally quite spacious, was now full of people.

Xie Yan looked at this posture and frowned: "What's going on? How dare you, a liar, come here?"

He was accused of being a liar without any precautions. Yeluhan stared at Wu Zixu with eyes that were almost like blades. He gritted his teeth and said: "Master Xie, I am not a liar! I was sent by the Khan! "

Xie Yan waved his hand impatiently, and the thin piece of paper from the contract fell lightly to the ground.

"You say you are the Khan's person, and you also say you are the Khan's person. Which of you is the Khan's person?" Xie Yan said angrily, "If you can't explain clearly, I will throw away all the salt." Enter the river so that none of you can catch it!"

"Of course it's me!" Yelu Han quickly replied, "Our Khan is born as a eldest prince. He is the son of the first Khan with the purest blood and the most courageous blood!"

"If you don't believe it, I can take you to the royal court!" Yelu Han said again, "It just so happens that the Khan also wants to meet Mr. Xie! Although he has never met you, he knows your name very well!"

Hearing this, Xie Yan showed a look of satisfaction on his face.

Yelu Han thought he was familiar with Xie Yan's temper, so he said again: "Master Xie, don't believe him. He is the most insidious and cunning. There is only one Khan of the Xiongnu, so what he says cannot be trusted!"

In such a chaotic situation, whoever controls salt controls the life and death.

Salt must not fall into Yu Wenzheng's hands!Yeluhan gritted his teeth secretly in his heart.

Wu Zixu sneered: "Isn't it the Royal Court? I can also bring you in, Mr. Xie! Our Khan lives in the east hall of the Royal Court!"

"Our Khan lives in the west palace! He has [-] elite soldiers at his disposal!"

"Our Khan lives in the East Palace! We have a million taels of gold in our hands!"

The words uttered by the two of them were each more deafening than the other.

Xie Yan looked at the two of them and finally said: "You Huns actually have two khans?"

Hearing this, Yeluhan and Wu Zixu's faces darkened in unison.

Xie Yan's eyes rolled around and he smiled slyly: "No matter who is the Khan, we are all discussing business."

"Let's do this, I will sell the salt to whoever can offer a higher price!" Xie Yan waved his hand, "I'm not interested in listening to your bickering here."

As he spoke, he hugged Gu Ning's waist.

Gu Ning smiled sweetly, buried her head in Xie Yan's chest, and suggested in a low voice: "Why don't we let them bid against each other, the one with the highest price will win!"

Yeluhan's ears were very good. Hearing Gu Ning's words, his teeth were almost broken.

He was a dignified general, but now he was reduced to talking condescendingly to a businessman. At this moment, he understood Yu Wenzheng's hatred towards the businessman.

Such a person should be hacked to death!

However, there was still a large amount of salt behind Xie Yan. He couldn't do anything at all, and even had to offer Xie Yan!

Thinking of this, Yeluhan gritted his teeth but couldn't show any trace of his face.

"Okay!" Yeluhan reluctantly agreed to this condition.

Wu Zixu didn't panic. He sat on the chair leisurely and said with a smile: "General Yelu, please take it easy and don't lose all your family wealth!"

After that, he said to Xie Yan: "750 yuan a tael, I want all the salt in your hands."

"Eight hundred coins!" Yeluhan broke his teeth and swallowed, his heart bleeding, "I want as much salt as you have in your hands!"

"Eight hundred and one!" Wu Zixu followed closely.

"Eight hundred and two!" Yeluhan said cautiously.

"Eight hundred and three!"

"850!"

The two bid against each other without giving in. Seeing the price soar to 850 yuan, beads of sweat fell from Yeluhan's forehead, and he didn't even have the time to wipe it away.

Wu Zixu looked calm. Seeing Yeluhan's appearance, he reminded him: "General Yelu, our Wu family has millions of gold, which is far beyond what you can match."

"I advise you, it's better not to argue."

Yeluhan naturally knew that in terms of financial resources, neither he nor Yu Wenxu could compare to Wu Zixu, but he also had advantages that Wu Zixu did not have.

After Wu Zixu said this, he loudly said: "Thank you, Mr. Xie, although my money is not as much as what he gave me, I can guarantee your safety."

"I'm afraid you don't know that Lord Wu's master, the fourth prince, killed five or six people before you arrived at the royal city. They were all salt merchants!"

"The fourth prince has the gold mine of the Wu family, but he is still reluctant to spend money to buy salt. He just kills people to get the salt!"

"I'm afraid that as soon as you agreed to him and signed a contract with him, he will lead his men and kill you all."

"Not only will I not have to give you any money, I will also get a lot of salt for free."

After Yeluhan said this, Xie Yan's expression completely changed.

He stared at Wu Zixu in surprise and uncertainty. The embarrassment on Wu Zixu's face could not be faked. In an instant, Xie Yan made a decision.

"Here you go!" Xie Yan pointed at Yelu Han and said, "I'll give you all the salt, but you have to buy all my salt for 850 cents per tael!"

The smile that had just risen on Yeluhan's face disappeared instantly, 850 yuan for one tael!How is this different from stealing money?

Xie Yan looked at him suspiciously: "You can't afford it, right?"

"Of course I can afford it!" Yelu Han squeezed out a word, but it was just a little painful.

Xie Yan nodded with satisfaction: "As long as you can afford it, I'll give you all the salt!"

"I want to go back to Jiangnan with the money! This time in the family competition, I will definitely win!" Xie Yan said confidently in front of everyone.

Yeluhan gave him a large sum of money and almost emptied all his money.

But after seeing Wu Zixu's gloomy face, he smiled happily again.

"Master Wu, how does it feel to steal the chicken but lose the rice?"

"I can only blame Mr. Wu for his bad luck in finding such a master." Yeluhan said with a smile, "If it were anyone else, Mr. Wu wouldn't have to worry at all. This batch of salt will definitely be yours."

Listening to Yeluhan's words, Wu Zixu's face showed dissatisfaction.

He stared at Yeluhan several times, and finally said sadly: "Have you said enough? Get out of here if you've said enough!"

Naturally, Yelu Han would not miss the flash of anger in his eyes. Yelu Han smiled with satisfaction. As long as the gap between Wu Zixu and Yu Wenzheng is bigger, they will have a better chance.

Once Wu Zixu completely develops a dissatisfaction with Yu Wenzheng, there will no longer be anyone available around Yu Wenzheng. By then, Yu Wenzheng will be nothing more than an embroidered pillow that will break with a poke!

Thinking of this, Yeluhan left with satisfaction.

This time, he not only got the salt in his hands, but also successfully planted the seeds of dissatisfaction in Wu Zixu's heart. Given time, this seed can grow into a towering tree!

Everyone left, and Wu Zixu also left angrily.

However, under the tea cup used by Wu Zixu, there was a letter lying there.

Yue Ming immediately and carefully put away the letter. After seeing that no one around him saw his actions, he hurried to see Xie Yan.

At this time, Xie Yan and Gu Ning were in the house.

"You are getting better and better at pretending to be stupid." Gu Ning thought of Xie Yan's appearance just now, and she laughed so much that she fell into Xie Yan's arms.

Seeing the smile on her eyes and brows, Xie Yan had no choice but to carefully remove all the hairpins from her head, fearing that Gu Ning would hurt herself.

"I had to do this in order to deceive Yelu Han's trust." Xie Yan sighed, "If I were cunning, I might be suspected by these people when I first entered the royal city."

People always underestimate the enemy, especially when the enemy appears vulnerable, no one can be vigilant at all times.

Gu Ning nodded and said, "That's true."

"But we must get in touch with the Huyan family as soon as possible." When Gu Ning said this, his voice became dull, "I heard that the Huyan family is the most loyal to the Huns. Wouldn't they disagree?"

"If that's the case, then we have to be more careful and not expose ourselves." Gu Ning held her chin up, her beautiful peach eyes filled with worry, "I don't know if Yuwen Tuo can do it."

This time, Yuwen Tuo was specially sent to persuade Hu Yanwen, but he didn't know whether this plan was feasible.

Xie Yan stretched out his hand and gently smoothed the wrinkles between Gu Ning's eyebrows. His body naturally carried the magic power that could calm Gu Ning's heart.

"Don't worry." Xie Yan patted Gu Ning's shoulder and held Gu Ning in his arms. "Our people have discovered a secret of the Huyan family."

Hearing this, Gu Ning suddenly raised his head: "What secret?"

"When there was a sudden change in the royal court, Xian Khan died, but the high priest who was with Xian Khan disappeared. It is said that he escaped with several swords in his body."

"During this period of time, people from the Huyan family were looking for famous doctors everywhere. They said that the elders of the Huyan family were suffering from serious diseases and needed treatment by famous doctors."

"Don't you think...it's a bit too coincidental?"

Gu Ning nodded repeatedly: "Yes! Could it be that the Huyan family is searching for famous doctors for the seriously injured high priest?"

"As long as the high priest lives to identify Yu Wenxu, the person who killed him, then Yuwen Tuo can easily inherit the position of Khan, and our army will not suffer too much loss."

"Where is Yu Wenzheng?" Gu Ning reminded, "He is still alive."

"Yu Wenxu will deal with him for us." Xie Yan raised his thin lips and showed a sardonic smile, "What happened today is enough to make Yu Wenxu have murderous intentions."
