Nine swords

How many coffins can one ingot of gold buy?

At that moment, Ye Gucheng really felt that Gong Jiu's words were extremely domineering. He even counted his fingers silently in his heart before he came to the conclusion: this ingot of gold is enough to buy a group of people from the Qi Dajinpeng Dynasty, Huo Xiu, and even the coffins of Boss Yan of Zhuguang Baoqi Pavilion and Dugu Yihe, who died unjustly, are still more than enough. It's just a few notches away... It's shameful to waste, it's ridiculous to be self-righteous, and it's terrible to offend people who shouldn't be offended.

Gong Jiu is undoubtedly someone who should not be messed with and cannot be messed with.

Without sincerity, Ye Gucheng burned a stick of incense for the first batch of villains who appeared first, and then began to look forward and curious: How will Gong Jiu deal with Shangguan Feiyan and the group?Also, does he know that the real mastermind behind this incident is Huo Xiu?

They are also big villains behind the scenes. How big is the gap between Huo Xiu who appeared first and Gong Jiu who appeared last?Ye Gucheng really wanted to compare.

However, Gong Jiu didn't seem to take those people seriously at all, or in other words, Ye Gucheng was obviously more important to him at this time.Therefore, he only showed his domineering aura for a moment, and then he returned to the weak and out of breath state of serious injury and weakness. He slowly put the ingot of gold into his arms, and coughed lightly for two times. Then, looking carefully at Ye Gucheng, he asked, "City Master...do you have anything I can do for you?"

Ye Gucheng couldn't stand Gong Jiu's expression like a wronged little daughter-in-law. He already guessed that Gong Jiu shouldn't be hurt badly. Instead of arguing with the pervert about the old accounts of "throwing in arms" and "giving kisses", he asked indifferently, "Who are they?"

Gong Jiu was stunned for a moment, and said: "That's from the Great Jinpeng Dynasty..." He came to his senses after he had finished speaking, paused, changed the subject suddenly, and asked back: "That woman is beautiful, Does the city lord feel the same way?" Gong Jiu couldn't help but feel sour when he said this.

Ye Gucheng said calmly: "I am ashamed of beauty." The truth is, he cares more about blue beauty, and he doesn't care about beauty.

Although Gong Jiu couldn't know Ye Gucheng's real thoughts, he still raised the corners of his mouth happily and said, "The city master has a good opinion. The woman just now is Princess Danfeng of the Jinpeng Dynasty, and she came here to cause trouble for Lu Xiaofeng."

Ye Gucheng said, "Princess?"

The corners of Gong Jiu's mouth widened, and he responded: "The city lord is indeed discerning. No matter how much a wild bird pretends to be like a phoenix, it won't be able to become a phoenix. This so-called Princess Danfeng... Tsk tsk!"

Ye Gucheng secretly praised Gong Jiu for being really powerful, he explained Shangguan Feiyan's tricks in one word, and said: "There is a conspiracy."

Gong Jiu nodded and said with a smile: "Indeed, Lu Xiaofeng's troubles this time are definitely not small."

Ye Gucheng looked at Gong Jiu with burning eyes, and asked again: "Do you want to take care of it?" He thought to himself: Take care of it, just let him get a close-up look at the methods of the perverted villain.

But Gong Jiu just raised his head lightly, took a look at the holed roof, then sighed and shook his head and said, "Lu Xiaofeng is so capable, how can I take care of his affairs?" Said After changing the subject, he invited with a light smile, "Is the city lord interested in tasting this year's new tea?"

Ye Gucheng nodded silently, he didn't believe that Gong Jiu would ignore it, not to mention the chicken that broke through the roof of the inn and flew away, just Shangguan Feiyan's contemptuous attitude, Gong Jiu couldn't easily let go ...Obviously, this pervert has started playing tricks again.

However, there is nothing wrong with being mysterious. In the next two days, Ye Gucheng tasted all kinds of top-notch new teas, tasted all kinds of delicacies that make people want to bite off their tongues, and listened to the tenderness of the Jiangnan water town. The beautiful scenery of the lake covered in mist and mist... Just because the person who entertained him is Gong Jiu, Gong Jiu has enough capital, and Gong Jiu is not stingy-of course, Gong Jiu will be generous to Ye Gucheng, but it does not mean that he is generous to Ye Gucheng. Others will be just as generous.

When Lu Xiaofeng finally reappeared in front of Gong Jiu and Ye Gucheng, they were playing chess and drinking tea in the pavilion on the high ground by the lake.In this pavilion, you can see the sparkling water in the distance, the willows blowing nearby, the exotic flowers and plants under the steps, the cursive handwriting on the pillars of the pavilion, the fragrance of tea, and even the chessboard is a piece. The whole jade and the chess pieces are crystal clear black and white colored glaze...

At this moment, Gong Jiu threw out a chess piece and praised: "The city master is good at chess, and I lost half again." Ye Gucheng was silent, his chess skills were really good, but Gong Jiu's chess style was not Just like his thinking, he always used extremely weird ways to conquer cities... They played several rounds, and Gong Jiu lost half of them in each round. Does the meaning of this need to be explained clearly?Ye Gucheng didn't want to talk about Gong Jiu's "all-round pervert", so he turned his face to look at Lu Xiaofeng.

Lu Xiaofeng looked at the two leisurely and comfortable people, and almost didn't spit out a mouthful of blood.

Gong Jiu also turned her head, squinted at Lu Xiaofeng, curled her lips and said, "Lu Xiaofeng, when will you pay back the debt you owe me? Those petals, and the roof, you..."

"Enough is enough, don't talk about it!" Lu Xiaofeng jumped up and shouted complainingly: "The cup of tea you invited City Lord Ye to drink is worth dozens or hundreds of roofs, why are you so fussy with me?"

Gong Jiu snorted and said with a smile: "How can you compare with Lord Ye?"

Lu Xiaofeng was dumbfounded, and suddenly froze.

Ye Gucheng's mood suddenly improved, and then he saw the person behind Lu Xiaofeng, slightly startled, and said, "Huamanlou?"

Hua Manlou replied with a smile: "Yes, Lord Ye, and Young Master Ninth, Lu Xiaofeng and I have mentioned you, but it's a pity that I can't see the demeanor of the two of you in person." His gentle voice seemed to have magical power, It can calm the restless heart.

Ye Gucheng nodded and said: "You really deserve your reputation." Beauty, beauty, Ye Gucheng secretly evaluated: Huamanlou is indeed a gentle and modest gentleman, he and Gong Jiu are like two extremes, although Gong Jiu usually wears He wears a gentle and elegant mask, but no matter how he puts on, it is impossible for him to be as harmonious and natural as Huamanlou.Huamanlou was born like this.

Gong Jiu was a little unhappy, because Ye Gucheng focused his attention on others, so he ignored Hua Manlou, but frowned slightly, and said, "Lu Xiaofeng, are you here to disturb us, is there something wrong?" Being with Ye Gucheng is really comfortable and happy. He deliberately stopped talking about molesting and confession. Ye Gucheng didn't care about him, and often "cared" for him as a "wounded person". Gong Jiu didn't mention how satisfied and happy he was. He was secretly happy, and wished he could go on like this forever... But Lu Xiaofeng was about to come and annoy him.

Lu Xiaofeng sighed lightly. Although he could hear the disgust in Gong Jiu's words, he couldn't leave knowingly, because he had already promised Princess Danfeng to help her get justice... Isn't it true that women's debts are always Hardest to pay?So all he can say is, "I've got a big problem and I need help."

Gong Jiu mocked: "Are you looking for my help, or are you looking for Lord Ye?"

Lu Xiaofeng looked at Gong Jiu in embarrassment, then at Ye Gucheng who had a cold face, and said falteringly, "This...it would be best if you all, could help..."

Gong Jiu's expression changed, she shook slightly, then raised her hand, covered her chest, and said weakly: "I've been seriously injured and I'm still not recovering, you know that, I can't help."

Lu Xiaofeng had no choice but to look at Ye Gucheng pitifully. In fact, Lu Xiaofeng never expressed hope to Gong Jiu. Although Gong Jiu's complexion has improved a lot at this time, he just suffered such a serious injury, and it should not be easy to recover. It took two days, so Lu Xiaofeng didn't expect Gong Jiu to help him deal with Dugu Yihe.But if Ye Gucheng is willing to make a move, that would be great.

Of course Ye Gucheng knew that Lu Xiaofeng wanted to ask him to help him deal with Dugu Yihe, and it would not be impossible to help him, but the problem was that he hadn't mastered the way of swordsmanship. With Ye Gucheng's current real strength, he might not be able to take down Dugu Yihe...

Dugu Yihe is one of the top masters in the rivers and lakes, even the current Ximen Chuuxue is not Dugu Yihe's opponent, only because Ximen Chuuxue is tainted with Lu Xiaofeng's aura of the protagonist, so he was lucky enough to kill Dugu Yihe. Ye Gucheng... It's hard to say, Ye Gucheng is naturally unwilling to do such a dangerous thing.This is not just helping, but desperate!He doesn't have Ximen Chuuxue's awareness of "hearing the Tao in the morning, and dying in the evening". For Ye Gucheng, the pursuit of extreme force is to let him live more freely, so how can he not care about life in pursuit of extreme force? Woolen cloth?

So Ye Gucheng asked: "Is it because of that woman last time?"

Lu Xiaofeng was startled, and quickly said: "That's right, it's the girl from last time, she is..."

"You don't need to talk," Ye Gucheng suddenly interrupted Lu Xiaofeng, and said coldly, "Why don't you go to Ximen Chuuxue for her matter?"

Lu Xiaofeng was stunned, Gong Jiu chuckled softly, and said: "She misunderstood City Lord Ye, and she also dismissed me, why should she come to us for her matter?"

Ye Gucheng was very satisfied with Gong Jiu's knowledge and interest. As soon as he said this, Lu Xiaofeng's luck was completely dispelled. Lu Xiaofeng couldn't do anything about it, and the helpless Lu Xiaofeng had no choice but to say: "Oh, then I will Don't disturb the elegant mood of the two of you." After saying that, he turned around and took Hua Manlou to leave.

Unexpectedly, Gong Jiu said suddenly: "Hua Man Lou, if you need anything in the future, you can come to me." Lu Xiaofeng turned around in surprise and looked at Gong Jiu, as if he was looking at a monster - Gong Jiu didn't pay attention to it just now Huamanlou, why did you suddenly say that?Ye Gucheng also looked at Gong Jiu in bewilderment.

Although Hua Manlou was also taken aback, he quickly smiled happily and said, "Okay, thank you."

Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help asking: "Why?"

Gong Jiu smiled kindly and said: "Hua Man Lou is not as troublesome as you, and..." Hearing the first half of the sentence, the corners of Lu Xiaofeng's mouth twitched, and the second half of the sentence Gong Jiu played tricks again, Lu Xiaofeng could only Reluctantly asked: "And what?"

Gong Jiu didn't continue, but asked: "The scenery here is beautiful, isn't it?"

Lu Xiaofeng almost suffocated, Ye Gucheng laughed secretly: Gong Jiu started playing tricks again, he suddenly felt that although Gong Jiu was perverted, every time he played tricks was very funny.

Hua Manlou said softly, "It's beautiful, very beautiful."

Gong Jiu shook her head with a smile and said, "Actually, I bought this land from Jiangnan Hua's family, and the price is not cheap."

Lu Xiaofeng widened his eyes: "So you..."

Gong Jiu continued to laugh and said: "So I want to establish a good relationship with Huamanlou. If I still want to buy land in the future, maybe I can negotiate the price?" Although Gong Jiu's words are very direct and even utilitarian, his tone can It makes people feel that he is very sincere: some things are said directly, but it is much better to hide them.

Hearing this, Hua Manlou's impression of Gong Jiu changed a lot, and he said with a friendly smile: "I don't do anything in Hua's family, but since Mr. Jiu is willing to take care of my family's business, I can introduce my brothers to you." you know."

Gong Jiu nodded in satisfaction and said, "Then thank you for your kindness."

After Lu Xiaofeng and Huamanlou left, Ye Gucheng suddenly felt that Gong Jiu really knew how to seize opportunities... Lu Xiaofeng's trip to find them was futile, he and Huamanlou were pure bystanders, Only Gong Jiu, on the contrary, took this opportunity to get involved with the Hua family in Jiangnan, which was really great.

Gong Jiu and Ye Gucheng played a few more games of chess, and it was getting dark.They walked back to the inn under the moonlight, and went back to their rooms without saying anything unnecessary, but both of them felt very relaxed and comfortable.

They seem to have begun to gradually get used to each other's existence, this is the subtle power.

It was late at night, everything was quiet, but there was no one in Gong Jiu's room.

Where did Gong Jiu go?

At this time, Gong Jiu was standing proudly in front of an old man with his hands behind his back and his head up.

The old man stared at Gong Jiu with wide eyes, and said after a long time: "You really have some skills to come in here and find me."

Gong Jiu half-closed his eyes, and laughed mockingly and proudly: "How could Young Master Jiu have no skills?"

The old man grimaced and said, "What do you want to come to me?"

Gong Jiu restrained his proud expression, and became gentle and refined in the blink of an eye, only to hear him say in a very sincere tone: "Of course I came to ask you to cooperate."

The old man was surprised and said: "I thought you came to me to settle accounts with the killer last time, why did you come to me to cooperate?"

Gong Jiu smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Huo has a cloud of masters under him, but last time he only sent a few young people here, which is enough to show his kindness to me."

Old man Huo couldn't help laughing, he only sent a few minions there, obviously looking down on Gong Jiu, but Gong Jiu can misinterpret his meaning like this, it really is not an ordinary person.But he still shook his head and said, "I don't think it is necessary for us to cooperate." There was a murderous look in his words.

Gong Jiu also shook his head, and said with a very honest expression: "Mr. Huo, it's best not to let those underlings of yours come out again. I was hit by the sword of Baiyun City Lord a few days ago. At this time, I was seriously injured. body, I really don’t want to make a move.”

Old man Huo's face changed: Gong Jiu is not showing weakness, but showing off - if a person is really injured by Baiyun City Lord's sword, but is "only" seriously injured, he can even pass through many traps. In front of him, how powerful should this person be?

Gong Jiu smiled, very friendly, and said: "Mr. Huo, don't worry, if you cooperate with me, your money will only increase - because my goal is not only money, but it can make you earn all the money in the world." money."

Huo Xiu couldn't help asking: "Then what is your goal?"

Gong Jiu said innocently: "Of course it is the world, otherwise what else could it be?"
