Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 272 International Mercenaries

Ying Zheng and others had nothing to say to Gu Xun's answer that perfectly suited his status as a doctor.

Medical skills can really be used in unexpected places!

"As for why they want to kill you...well...you have to ask Wenxinhou Lu Buwei and Lu Xiangguo after you return home."

Of course, Gu Xun also knew the answer. It was just because of the trouble caused by King Chakravartin, but...it's hard to say!
  It would be wrong to reveal all the scandalous things about Ying Zheng's mother in front of onlookers.

After getting Gu Xun's answer, Ying Zheng pondered for a moment, whether he was thinking about the answer to the latter question or weighing whether the information Gu Xun said was true or not.

Then he slowly exhaled and asked:
  "Mr. Gu told me this, and why?"

He felt that Gu Xun seemed to be very concerned about his assassination, which was not in line with his style of acting as a strange doctor in Xinzheng.

"Haha!" Gu Xun showed an unprecedented amiable smile and replied in a brisk tone, "I mean, in the face of such a dangerous situation, do you need a bodyguard?"

Before Ying Zheng could realize what he meant, Gu Xun continued in an excited tone:

"As long as the money is in place, let alone five, I can handle it for you even if it's fifty. How about it? Do you want to consider spending a sum of money to solve this problem?"

Ying Zheng was stunned by Gu Xun's words for a few seconds, and then he came back to his senses, wanted to understand the meaning of his words, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Mr. Gu... is really funny."

Gai Nie looked at Gu Xun with doubtful eyes. Fifty...doesn't that mean that most of the top masters in the world are gathered together?

Gai Nie didn't know Gu Xun well, and didn't know if the other party was engaging in... a certain degree of exaggeration. He didn't know what the other party's real purpose was, but he didn't quite believe it was for money.

As for Ying Zheng, he doesn't understand the world, and he doesn't have much idea about the fifty first-class Tianzi. Anyway, if tens of thousands of troops press forward, any number of first-class Tianzi will be dead.

He just thought it was interesting that Gu Xun had gone around in a big circle, just for money...

Of course, he didn't quite believe that Gu Xun was just doing it for money.

It is common for people in the world to have different ideas and pursuits, and the love of money is also a common problem of most people... or it is their nature, but it is a bit outrageous to not hesitate to deal with half of the masters in the trap for money.

Only Wei Zhuang was calm on the sidelines. He was the person who knew Gu Xun best. He knew very well that what he said was all the truth. He was not afraid of fifty words, and he was really just doing it for money.

What a bounty hunter!

Gu Xun looked at Ying Zheng expectantly, hoping that this wealthy man could pay a huge sum of money to hire him and replenish his balance.

Unfortunately, Ying Zheng did not go as he wished and decided to spend money to eliminate the disaster. Instead, he invited:

"I wonder if Mr. Gu is willing to serve as an official in the State of Qin?"

"Being an official?" Gu Xun was stunned for a moment, then quickly waved his hand to refuse, "Thank you for your kindness, I don't have the ability."

"Except for medical skills and martial arts, I don't know anything else. I don't know anything about governing the country. I can't even write memorials, and I can't be an official."

"Mr. Gu is too humble. Most people can't detect the movements of the net so clearly."

"That has nothing to do with ability."

My family knows my own affairs, and I always seem to others to know everything. This is just because I cheated and knew the plot, and it has nothing to do with my brain.

Seeing that Gu Xun still declined, Ying Zheng did not invite him again. The main purpose of his trip was always Han Fei, who could write articles on governing the country. Only he was the most important, and the others were just additions at most. The best if he could be recruited, but not Don't force it either.

"What are Mr. Shang going to do about the net?" Seeing that he no longer mentioned joining the court as an official, Gu Xun then asked about the net. After all, a large sum of money was involved...

However, Ying Zheng raised his hand and signaled to Gu Xun that there was no need to say more about the matter, "The trap is not the purpose of my coming to South Korea. They will let it go first. There is no rush."

"The most important thing right now is to ask Mr. Wei Zhuang to introduce someone to me."

Before Ying Zheng could say who he wanted to see, Wei Zhuang had already guessed the answer, "Meet... Han Fei, right?" In the entire Xinzheng City, only Han Fei, who wrote "Five Worms", was worthy of Qin's favor. The king risked his life and traveled all the way to the capital of his country.

"That's right." Ying Zheng nodded slightly, not surprised that Wei Zhuang could guess it.

It's surprising that you can't guess it.

"Okay." Wei Zhuang agreed to the request simply and neatly.

Even if Ying Zheng didn't want to see Han Fei, he had to let them meet.

The appearance of Ying Zheng is equivalent to putting a sharp sword hanging over the head of the entire South Korea that can fall at any time. Once something happens to others, South Korea will be almost in trouble.

Wei Zhuang must discuss with Han Fei how to send the person away safely as soon as possible.

"It's safe here for the time being. You can stay here for now. I will bring Han Fei here tomorrow." Wei Zhuang said, "If there are no other problems, we will leave first."

"Mr. Wei Zhuang, please do as you please." Ying Zheng waved his hand, indicating that Wei Zhuang could do whatever he wanted.

Upon seeing this, Wei Zhuang and Gu Xun left immediately.

Although Gu Xun was a little disappointed that he couldn't conclude the business when he arrived, but... Ying Zheng was right, don't be in a hurry.

Anyway, when the trap is launched, if they can't withstand it, they will take action to save people themselves. The king of Ying Zheng, the king of a country, can't just give a few words of verbal thanks.

Moreover, if you take a step back, even if you don't make a dime, Gu Xun can't let anything happen to Ying Zheng. There's more to it than just money.

After leaving the house, Wei Zhuang did not go straight back to Zilanxuan, but took Gu to find a dark corner.

"Are you going to get involved in the snare matter?"

The two of them were hidden in the shadows, which were completely backlit. It was so dark that Gu Xun couldn't see Wei Zhuang's face clearly, but it didn't affect his hearing.

"If I don't intervene, I won't develop Xuanjian as an internal agent." Gu Xun directly gave him reassurance, "You and Han Fei don't have to worry about Ying Zheng, I won't let anything happen to him."

"So...you are going to Qin?" Wei Zhuang suddenly asked.

"Hmm...what, did Zi Nu tell you?" Gu Xun first acknowledged with a hum, and then asked in return.

The dark shadow representing Wei Zhuang shook his head a few times, "No, she didn't say anything."

"But you would never be so interested in a stranger, especially a strange man, and just make a guess."

"Uh... there's no need to emphasize men." Gu Xun felt that he was being targeted by Wei Zhuang, but he couldn't refute.

"It's not a bad thing to go to the Kingdom of Qin and establish a good relationship with the King of Qin. It can also help you and Han Fei indirectly, isn't it good?"

"..." Wei Zhuang did not respond to Gu Xun's words, and the two of them fell into silence.

"If nothing happens, I'll leave. It's almost midnight." Gu Xun saw that Wei Zhuang had stopped talking, so he naturally wanted to leave. It was very late after all.

"What else do you know?" Wei Zhuang asked a question before Gu Xun left.

Gu Xun stopped, frowned and thought for a moment, then replied:

"It doesn't matter whether I know it or not. In any case, maybe I can't make everything develop according to my expectations, but at least I can guarantee that it will not develop into the result I least want to see."

"Let's go." After saying that, Gu Xun left.

After Wei Zhuang stopped there for a moment, he also jumped away.

　I don’t know if I can write about Xianyang before Chapter 300...
