Words must die [Comprehensive martial arts]

Gu Shenyan rarely drinks alcohol.

He is holding the wine glass now, just to cover up his small movements, but in fact he hasn't taken a sip.

But his expression is very natural, unless someone is staring at him, it is difficult to find that he has not drunk a drop.

So when the girl next to King Qiuci suddenly asked Gu Shenyan if the drink was not to his liking, Gu Shenyan didn't react right away.

Fortunately, Ji Bingyan spoke up in time and smoothed things over for him.

"Princess, please forgive me. My friend doesn't hold a lot of alcohol. He almost gets drunk after just one drink, so he rarely drinks alcohol on weekdays, especially on occasions like this."

After Ji Bingyan finished speaking, Gu Shenyan came back to his senses.

He smiled at the right time, and said in a gentle voice, "Of course this wine is the best, but it's a pity that Gu has no luck to enjoy it, and he failed His Majesty and the Princess's wishes."

Seeing Gu Shenyan's smile, the princess was stunned for a moment, then pursed the corners of her mouth and laughed angrily, "In terms of drinking, few of you men in the Central Plains can compare to our good men in Kucha, but they are as tall as each other. handsome."

"For the sake of your good looks, this princess will forgive you."

Probably due to the different customs, the words and deeds of this princess of Qiuci are obviously more bold and direct than those of the aristocratic daughters in the Central Plains.

After she finished praising Gu Shenyan's appearance, she clapped her hands and called the maid, and asked the maid to prepare a pot of tea for Gu Shenyan alone.

Gu Shenyan thanked her, thought that the topic would end here, so she prepared to eat with chopsticks, but unexpectedly, the princess asked a question again.

"I think you look like this, you should be the son of a wealthy family, why did you come to the desert with the caravan?"

From the time he got the account to now, whether it was intentional or unintentional, none of Gu Shenyan and the others took the initiative to introduce their identities.

But anyone with a discerning eye can't see that at least half of the people in this team have unusual backgrounds

The most conspicuous of them are Gu Shenyan and Ji Bingyan.

They dressed luxuriously and elegantly, behaved elegantly, and had an extraordinary bearing. They did not show timidity in the face of the King of Kucha, showing everyone's demeanor everywhere.

It can't be ordinary people.

"Princess has good eyesight."

Gu Shenyan said calmly, "To be honest, Gu is Boss Ji's business partner. This time I came to the desert to inspect the situation so that we can finalize the plan as soon as possible."

Princess Pipa was dubious, because Gu Shenyan really didn't look like a businessman.

But Ji Bingyan suddenly said at this moment, "My lord is indeed a nobleman who forgets things a lot."

King Qiuci looked at Ji Bingyan, with a little surprise on his face, and said, "What do you mean by that?"

"I met the prince once." Ji Bingyan reminded, "My surname is Ji, the Ji of a female minister."

Hearing this surname, King Qiuci suddenly sat up straight, "You, you are Ji Bingyan"

Ji Bingyan nodded.

"It turned out to be you." King Qiuci couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "It was seven years ago that we met last time. Times have changed, and things are different."

At that time, Ji Bingyan had just started from scratch, and King Qiuci had not fallen into such a situation.

But now, Ji Bingyan is the richest man in Lanzhou, and his net worth may have surpassed that of the down-and-out king.

Therefore, King Qiuci's mood at the moment is naturally extremely complicated.

He sighed a long time, then raised his wine glass and toasted Ji Bingyan three times in succession, as an apology for his failure to recognize her before.

If it were someone else, King Qiuci naturally wouldn't need to do this, but Ji Bingyan was no longer someone he could easily offend.

Ji Bingyan accepted the three glasses of wine calmly.

The shelf is very stable, and there is no intention of being humble.

He was originally a very proud person, and there were only very few people who could call him two points of courtesy, and the current King of Kucha was obviously not among them.

King Qiuci always felt a little humiliated when he lowered his status in public, so he quickly changed the subject.

"This is Xiao Wang's beloved daughter, Princess Pipa. Boss Ji has seen it before. I don't know if I still have an impression."

Ji Bingyan glanced at Princess Pipa, and said calmly, "The princess is more beautiful than when she was a child."

However, he said so, but his eyes did not stay on Princess Pipa for a second, and his face did not show the slightest surprise.

It was obvious that he was perfunctory.

Princess Pipa, who is used to being sought after by men, is quite upset.

King of Kucha ""

King Qiuci originally planned to ask Princess Pipa to pour Ji Bingyan a glass of wine to ease the atmosphere, but let's forget it now.

He thought for a while, and then turned the topic to Gu Shenyan.

"To make Boss Ji attach so much importance, the identity of this partner must not be simple."

Ji Bingyan didn't even lift her eyelids, she opened her mouth and said, "His identity is really not simple, so it's inconvenient to reveal it."

If you want to know, just make up your own mind.

Anyway, even if you think about it, you will never imagine that Gu Shenyan is actually a master

Hitting the wall one after another made King Qiuci very embarrassed. In order to save the little face left, he never tried to talk to Ji Bingyan and others in the following time.

This awkward atmosphere lasted until the end of the dinner.

The people who were full of food and drink were going back to the tent to rest, but they were stopped by Du Huan on the way.

Oh no, to be precise, it was Gu Shenyan who was stopped by Du Huan.

There was a sneer on Du Huan's face, and he did not hide his malice at all. It was obvious that the visitor was not kind, and he opened his mouth and said, "I have never heard of a rich man named Gu in Zhongyuan. Who are you, come here?"

His words were not finished.

His complexion has changed suddenly.

Because Gu Shenyan's bodyguards have already surrounded him very competently, and they are ready to attack.

Terrible coercion came from all directions, and Du Huan's whole body was so stiff that it was difficult for him to breathe.

Seeing this, the maids who led the way were frightened and panicked, turned around and ran towards King Qiucha's tent.

"My surname and name are none of your business." Gu Shenyan smiled harmlessly, but the words he said were very irritating. "If you want to meddle in other people's business, you must at least carefully consider whether you have the ability."

"You know, people who don't know themselves often don't live long."

Du Huan's fingers under the sleeve robe trembled subconsciously.

A little red sword immediately reached his chest.

"If you dare to do it, I will kill you."

His eyes were as cold as ice, and the killing intent on his body was so obvious that it was almost materialized, obviously he was not bluffing.

Du Huan knew that he really wanted to kill himself.

"Don't rush to do it yet." Lu Xiaofeng raised his hand and patted a little red shoulder, and smiled at Du Huan, "My friend, listen to my advice, if you still want to live, be honest and keep everything on your hand. Take it off."

In the second half of the banquet, Zhui Ming had nothing to do, so he simply transmitted the voice one by one, and told everyone the identity of Du Huan and others.

So Lu Xiaofeng not only knew who he was, but also knew what weapons he was good at using.

Of course Du Huan was afraid of death, otherwise he would not have fled all the way from the Central Plains to this place in order to avoid being hunted down by the Shenhou Mansion.

So he didn't hesitate for long, and he did it honestly.

He wore five black steel rings on his hands. Judging by the luster, they were undoubtedly poisoned. Zhui Ming took these steel rings through a handkerchief, sniffed them gently under his nose, and his face was a little ugly. .

"It's heartbroken grass and aconitum."

They are all highly poisonous with blood sealing their throats.

Gu Shenyan raised the corner of his mouth, and said with a half-smile, "Fortunately, I was willing to spend money and hired a group of experts to protect myself, otherwise today would be in danger."

Lu Xiaofeng and the others immediately understood the meaning behind his words, and restrained their coercion.

There was only a little red, and the murderous aura on his body still couldn't calm down.

Not long after, King Qiuci and Princess Pipa rushed over with a group of warriors.

"This, what's going on here"

King Qiuci walked up to the crowd panting, glanced at Du Huan who was surrounded, then at Gu Shenyan who was unharmed, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

He actually didn't know what was going on, but when he heard the maid said that Du Huan had conflicted with Gu Shenyan, he immediately summoned his staff to hurry here.

They were worried all the way, fearing that Gu Shenyan might do something good or bad.

Ji Bingyan's words are inconvenient to reveal, and it is indeed easy to make people think too much. King Qiuci even suspected that Gu Shenyan had a court background.

Ordinary businessmen, even partners, would not ask Ji Bingyan to personally accompany the other party into the desert without hesitation.

In short, this person must not have any accidents on his territory.

Gu Shenyan smiled helplessly, saying that he didn't know what was going on.

"This person and I didn't even say a word at the dinner party before, how could I have expected that he would come to trouble me."

King Qiuci took a deep breath, forced a smile and said, "I'm sorry, I frightened Boss Gu."

"As for Du Huan, since he was the one who made the mistake first, then let your Excellency deal with it, and Xiao Wang will never intervene."

With Du Huan on one side and Gu Shenyan on the other, King Qiuci can naturally tell which is more important.

It's just that there will inevitably be a little stuffing.

In order to regain the throne, King Qiuci did everything possible to recruit those people from the Jianghu, but he didn't know that most of the people from the Jianghu who would appear in the desert were not good.

Such people are often extremely greedy.

The money that Kucha Wan spent on them was not a small sum.

But even so, so far, the number of people he has recruited is still very small.

If there is one less Du Huan who can be regarded as very good

Forget it.

King Qiuci sighed secretly, unwilling to think about it any further.

Because he was afraid that if he thought about it any longer, he would not be able to help pleading for Du Huan.

But King Qiuci never expected that his precious daughter, who was always smart, would be stupid at this time.

"Young Master Gu." Princess Pipa took two steps forward, leaned in front of Gu Shenyan, and said with a coquettish smile, "Your lord has a lot, how about you spare Du Huan this time?"

"As long as you let him go, I will make you a promise."

Her eyes shifted, and her tone became gentle and lingering.

"I can do whatever you want me to do."
