Chapter 43: His intention is fierce and his ambition to kill is revealed(1/2)
When Gu Wen regained consciousness, he had already reached the first floor. He did not return to the mansion, but chose to stay in Qianfeng Tower.
Because he was afraid of being robbed on the way back. Being robbed is a small matter, but exposing one's strength is a big deal.
Yang Shanyu sent him back to his room and said, "Master Wen, go to bed early."
"I wonder when the elixir your Highness wants will be ready?"
"Three days later."
The door of the room was closed, and the beautiful figure of Gu Wen lying on the bed like a wind chime still echoed in his mind. He was running the Jade Qing Sword Technique, the jade sword moved slightly, and all the distracting thoughts in his mind were dispersed.
He opened his eyes again, his eyes a little more fearful.
The fifth place on the list is worthy of the name. Even though I was well prepared, I still fell into the trap.
He was not obsessed just now, he knew what he was doing and could control his behavior. But he couldn't control his thoughts behind the door. If he continued like this without resisting, he would fall sooner or later.
However, the original plan to buy low-quality Dragon Tiger Pills at a reduced price failed, and instead, they were asked to work for free, which was really a free prostitution sect.
Gu Wen laughed secretly and said: 'Futures are easy to lose money, and there will always be losses when doing some trading.'
What a coincidence, I also want to have sex for free.
------------------
The next day, Gu Wen went to the palace first and handed over the elixir to him. Due to confidentiality reasons, he could not turn around and come to the palace right after entering Qianfeng Tower.
He had a rather funny feeling that he had a sense of déjà vu as he went to an Internet cafe in his previous life. Just like parents cannot guard the door of an Internet cafe, the palace cannot know everything. The imperial court does not have a secret service agency similar to the Jin Yiwei, and has been in an offline monarchy for a long time.
But the palace must know that Qianfenglou sells elixirs.
It's normal for a merchant to stay in a brothel, but it's not normal for him to come and go. He wanted to keep it secret and to protect his own elixir.
"With Gu Qing here, I am indeed a good general for my king."
Zhao Feng was very happy and praised Gu Wen verbally, but did not provide any substantial benefits.
After all, he had no money, and almost all his savings were spent to buy the Ningdao Pill. This was not just money, but also many rare treasures he had saved over the years.
Gu Wen cupped his hands and said, "It is my honor to share your worries with His Highness."
Seeing that he was so loyal, Zhao Feng's conscience, which was probably only the size of his little finger, shone brightly, and he added: "Does Gu Qing want to cultivate immortality and live forever?"
Gu Wen was a little surprised. Could this guy have been taken away?
He pretended to be surprised and nodded eagerly: "Of course I do. Although I am a commoner, I also want to live longer."
"Cultivating Taoism, cultivating immortality, and cultivating immortality. Throughout the ages, princes, generals, and ministers have countless people who have asked for immortality. Whatever they cannot ask for, I can give it to you."
Zhao Feng muttered something, his face was pale, and his eyes were full of aura like a god, but in Gu Wen's eyes he looked like an ant.
But what is certain is that Zhao Feng finally stepped into practice, and his eyes became a little brighter. I don’t know whether it was Zhao Feng who was too good at it, or it was the sequelae of drug abuse, but Daoji’s characteristics were completely natural.
Gu Wen can hide his aura perfectly, but he is like leaking water.
Zhao Feng proudly showed off his power to him and said, "Whether you succeed or not depends entirely on your performance."
I was overthinking it.
"Thank you, Your Highness, I will not hesitate to go through fire and water."
"good."
Gu Wen lowered his head and said again: "Your Highness, regarding the elixir..."
"Just bring it to me."
Zhao Feng interrupted, his words were strong but also a sign of panic, just like a student cheating to get good grades.
Gu Wen was not frightened and continued to ask: "When I saw the owner of Qianfeng Building, she said that the erysipelas are uncontrollable and vary from person to person. I would like to ask if you have been acting strange recently?"
"this....."
Zhao Feng hesitated for a moment, and then thought that Gu Wen was just a mortal and a domestic slave, and said: "I have been losing energy and blood recently, and I often cough. I must take Longhu Dan to practice, otherwise my chest will feel hot."
------------------
Another day has passed, and there is still one day left before the Ningdao Pill is released.
After Gu Wen successfully connected, it was much easier to see Lu Chan. She probably thought that she had successfully planted a hidden stake in the palace.
After explaining Zhao Feng's situation to her, Gu Wen asked: "Your Highness's practice is becoming increasingly difficult. I would like to ask if you can stop for a while?"
Lu Chan replied: "Building a Tao is like walking against the sky. Once you start, if you want to retreat, it is equivalent to breaking an arm. I will give him the Tao Condensation Pill. It depends on him whether he wants to continue."
"yes."
Gu Wen held up his hands and was about to leave when he was suddenly stopped by Lu Chan and asked, "Do you know who else Yu Hua has been in contact with besides Zhao Feng?"
"I have only met Fairy Yu Hua, but I don't know who she has met."
"It's really useless."
Lu Chan's voice was a bit unhappy, Gu Wen just lowered his head and didn't care anymore when he saw him like this.
It's strange that an ordinary person can come into contact with Yu Hua. That bitch is very arrogant, especially after entering Daqian.
Her voice changed, she raised her voice again and said to Gu Wen, "Mr. Gu, please help me find out something."
This damn trap.
Gu Wen vomited in his heart that if he saw his true appearance, he would still call him "little ghost head".
Now, waiting for the rabbit, he cupped his hands and bowed his head and said: "I am willing to serve the fairy."
Gu Wen left in a carriage. He felt two eyes coming through the curtains of the carriage window, but he only lifted a corner to get a glimpse.
One is a monk with a sinister face, and the other is He Huan, who is standing in the wind and dressed in white.
They look at themselves as if they were looking at a rabbit, a harmless mortal.
Come on, the more people who come, the better.
There are still ten hours left before the Ning Dao Pill is released.
------------------
Water room.
Gu Wen adjusted the account book again, concealing the money he used for reimbursement, and crossing out the corresponding amount of water bill income, which is commonly known as making false accounts.
The palace wants to find out next year, and it is not certain whether he will still be in Bianjing at that time.
"Master, I found the bed beam you asked for."
Jiang Fugui's voice came, and then a root wrapped in black cloth stretched out from the door. Then Jiang Fugui walked into the room, carefully adjusted the angle and placed it on the ground.
Slightly untying one end of the black cloth, a cold light flashed slightly, and the gun tip reflected light slightly.
Jiang Fugui smiled and said: "Sir, the bed beams you want are top quality!"
In the land of Bianjing, the first ban is armor, the second ban is crossbows, and the third ban is swords, spears, swords and halberds.
The first two are only available in arsenals, not necessarily in the normal Imperial Guards. It was only in the past two years that civil unrest occurred frequently that the imperial court allowed the Imperial Guards to wear armor. Although swords, guns, swords and halberds are also prohibited, the supervision is not strict, so they can still be obtained.
Gu Wen took it in his hand and weighed it. It was one foot long and weighed three kilograms. It was made of ancient composite material made of beef tendon wood. It had a curved blade at the head and curved blades on both sides. It was easy to penetrate and pull out.
Somewhat similar to a raven gun.
It didn't take much effort to hold it, but he felt it was too light. It felt like a monkey going to the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea to choose weapons.
A weapon weighs one kilogram and has ten kilograms of force in your hand. But if you hold a hundred kilograms of force in your hand, it's a bit awkward for a weapon that only weighs one kilogram, so just use it first.
"Where did you get it?"
"Tooth market, it is said that a certain general sold it after he fell into despair. It cost me one hundred taels."
"Very good. You can sit here again at this time tomorrow and cover me up so that people know I haven't left."
"Okay, sir."
Jiang Fugui learned the essence of Gu Wen and never asked questions that shouldn't be asked.
There are still nine hours until the Ning Dao Pill is released.
Gu Wen looked at the completely darkened sky outside, and he secretly decided in his heart that he wrote "two hundred thousand" in his account book.
This is based on the expenditures of the palace and the accounting of the inventory by paying off the internal warehouse accountant of the palace. Finally, he concluded that the palace spent two hundred thousand taels in the past half month.
Zhao Feng's family fortune was almost completely wiped out.
An hour later, Gu Wen met He Huan in disguise.
He got straight to the point and said: "When the elixir is completed, you and I will directly enter Qianfeng Tower."
He Huan shook his head and said: "If we need to be enemies with the Fox Fairy, why not wait for the merchant to bring the things out."
"No, I just want to be her enemy. I really want to see what she is capable of."
The only exposed eyes in the mask of the bamboo hat showed a bit more fighting spirit. This made He Huan feel a headache. He then tried to persuade him, but no matter what, he couldn't pull the martial arts idiot in front of him.
He had no choice but to shake his head and give up, saying: "If fellow Daoist Daoist Hongchen is so reckless, then I won't accompany you anymore."
"You don't have to follow me in, just meet me outside. If the situation goes wrong, just run away."
