He Lai was originally the bodyguard of Zhi Zhu, who managed Tianying City, so he was very familiar with the entire Tianying City, even more familiar with Gailou than he is now.
Wen Qingzhu took He Lai to the place where Tu Dan first bought things.
This is a place specially designated to accommodate big businessmen from all over the country, as well as the subordinates of the fourth prince and the sixth prince.
The fourth prince and the sixth prince have not come yet, but the businessmen have arrived in advance.
As soon as I walked over, there were various stalls on both sides of the street, filled with many novelty gadgets.
This novelty was naturally only for the Huns, but Wen Qingzhu only found it familiar.
After all, most of the goods come from Qi State, and a small number come from the Western Regions.
He Lai took her all the way to the door of a shop with a facade.
The door of this room was open, and a smiling guy came out. Just as he was about to speak, He Lai took out a token.
The waiter looked surprised and hurriedly welcomed them in and sent them directly to a guest room.
Not long after, a young man in his twenties knocked on the door and came in.
As soon as he entered the room, he greeted He Lai with a very familiar tone: "Why are you here at this time?"
He Lai stepped aside and introduced Wen Qingzhu to the visitor: "This is Master Xiaoshui, my current master."
The young man's eyes were slightly focused, looking her up and down.
The woman in front of him looked about the same age as him, but she was in her twenties. Her appearance was not outstanding, but her temperament was alarmingly peaceful.
With his many years of traveling around, the young man knew that this woman was not simple.
He immediately put on a smile again, raised his right hand and put it on his left shoulder, saluted and said hello: "Sir, I am Huyan, a businessman from the north."
Wen Qingzhu then stood up and raised his hand to ask him to sit down: "Hello, sit here. I really need your help with something today."
Hu Yan glanced at He Lai and saw him nodding silently, before Hu Yan went over and sat down.
Without any nonsense, Wen Qingzhu directly took out a list of graphic characters that were only used by the Xiongnu royal family and top nobles.
Wen Qingzhu pushed the list in front of Hu Yan: "Can you understand this?"
Hu Yan's eyebrows trembled slightly when the list appeared. Now Wen Qingzhu handed the list over directly and asked him if he could understand it.
Of course he can understand it, but under normal circumstances, how can an ordinary businessman like him understand it
While he was thinking about it, Wen Qingzhu took out another list with Chinese characters and handed it over: "What about this? I heard from He Lai that you are doing business with Qi State now, so you must be able to understand Chinese characters."
Hu Yan raised his eyes and finally asked, "Who is your lord? You seem to be very familiar with Chinese?"
"It doesn't matter who I am. You are the person introduced by He Lai. I naturally trust you, so you only need to answer me now. Can you help me this time? You should have received the news before. What should I do? ?”
Wen Qingzhu knew very well who the master behind the young man in front of her was, so she had to be quick to cut the knot.
Hu Yan obviously hesitated, but this time he took the two lists and read them one by one.
This scene had a different meaning in Wen Qingzhu's eyes.
The young man named Hu Yan in front of him can actually understand two kinds of writing, which is probably of great importance.
After Hu Yan finished reading, he put down the list in his hand, raised his head and asked her, "Sir, what do you want these people to do?"
"Of course it is useful, but as a businessman, do you need to ask the customer's purpose?" Wen Qingzhu calmly threw the question back.
Huyan thought about it for a moment and said, "I need to think about it. This is Tianying City, and I can't do anything at will."
As soon as he said this, Wen Qingzhu stood up and said with regret: "Then I'm sorry, you can't make a decision, then I can only go to Gehun of the Asang tribe."
She turned around and left, but Huyan just stood up and did not call her directly.
It wasn't until Wen Qingzhu reached the door that he had to speak: "Wait! For He Lai's sake, I promise you, but only this time, I will not interfere in other matters."
Wen Qingzhu smiled. Sure enough, all interests need to be played for.
She turned her head and looked back and said, "Well, He Lai has said everything that needs to be said, just send the news over on time."
Wen Qingzhu left with He Lai and turned back on horseback to the mansion where Gehun lived.
Completely different from Huyan, Gehun lived in an area where nobles lived, and was obviously different from outside businessmen.
When they stopped at the door of Gehun's house, Wen Qingzhu felt someone behind her staring at her.
But she didn't care, it was all expected.
When he arrived at the door, He Lai directly took out the corpse sign and handed it over: "Your Excellency wants to see Gehun."
The guard at the door confirmed that the token was not fake and quickly led them in.
When we got inside the house, to Wen Qingzhu's surprise, Zuo Lan was actually sitting inside.
At the main seat on the other side was Gehun, who looked to be in his forties or fifties. His body was covered with gold and jade, and he looked like a nouveau riche.
In fact, this Gehun is really not a nouveau riche. He is the second largest businessman in the Asan tribe and a direct subordinate of the leader of the Asan tribe.
Wen Qingzhu stepped forward and said hello to Zuolan, then turned to look at Gehun and said: "Boss Gehun, it's our first time meeting you. We've seen each other for a long time."
"Who are you?" Gehun looked at Wen Qingzhu repeatedly, feeling that he had never seen this woman before.
On the contrary, it was He Lai who was beside her, whom he had met many times.
Wen Qingzhu didn't say anything, and He Lai took the initiative to stand up: "She is Master Xiaoshui. She came to see you specially this time and wants to ask for your help."
"You are Master Xiaoshui!" Gehun immediately cheered up and felt strange no matter how he looked at her, why she was different from the woman in the rumors.
Wen Qingzhu smiled and nodded, then looked over to Zuolan: "Have we finished discussing Zuolan's affairs? If not, can I go out and wait for a while?"
"No need! I'll leave right away." Zuo Lan turned around and said goodbye to Gehun, and then left quickly.
When he left, Gehun didn't ask her to sit down.
Wen Qingzhu didn't mind and directly stated his purpose: "Today I came to see Boss Gehun in a hurry. But something happened suddenly. After thinking about it, only Boss Gehun could help me, so I came here. I need something here." Lord Gehun, do me a favor and help place someone among the entourage of the Fourth Prince."
"Fourth Prince?" Gehun frowned, "What exactly do you want to do? Are you doing this under the instruction of the Second Prince?"
Wen Qingzhu laughed and said, "Of course not, what I want to do has nothing to do with the second prince."
Gehun didn't believe it, raised his chin slightly and said: "I have also experienced great storms. You just cling to the second prince. Do you think you can't be replaced? It's hard to say what your identity was before. Now you don't have a tribe. Support, in the eyes of the second prince, he will always be just a plaything!"
"Boss Gehun really misunderstood this matter. The second prince and I really have nothing to do with each other. He is him and I am me."
Wen Qingzhu took the trouble to explain, but Gehun sounded a little disdainful: "As a woman, you should stay at home well. Not everyone belongs to Lord Attia!"
Seeing that he had misunderstood, Wen Qingzhu had no choice but to reach out and take out a jade pendant: "I won't say much else. The value of this jade pendant must be something Boss Gehun knows."
The moment she took out the jade pendant, Gehun's eyes widened and he even couldn't help but take a few steps forward.
Wen Qingzhu turned around and took the jade pendant back, reminding Gehun: "I don't want to mention too many jade pendants like this. I still have dozens of them. I also have various other treasures. As long as you agree to help me, I will give you one when the time comes." There won’t be any points left!”
"Really?" When he spoke again, Gehun's tone changed directly.
Wen Qingzhu saw the greed in his eyes, which was comparable to another person she wanted to kill but didn't want to.
She turned around and threw the jade pendant to him: "This is natural, but I also have requirements. At least I must ensure that no one suspects me."
Gehun reached out and took the jade pendant, and immediately felt a delicate and soft touch. It was really the best jade pendant he had ever touched in his life.
He couldn't put it down for a moment, but as soon as Wen Qingzhu's words came out, he sobered up again and frowned slightly: "This is unlikely. Lord Xiaoshui must have heard about who the fourth prince is."
"Then you just can't do it?" Wen Qingzhu raised the corner of his mouth and looked at him with more scrutiny.
Gehun sensed that danger was coming, and quickly straightened his expression and said: "Sir, this matter is indeed not easy. Even if the Sixth Prince comes in person, I'm afraid-"
"In that case, just over there!" Wen Qingzhu stretched out his hand.
Gehun looked at her palm and was stunned. Why didn't he play the cards according to the routine
At a time like this, isn't it time to bargain
Wen Qingzhu saw what he was thinking and directly named him: "Actually, I don't necessarily need to come to you. It's easier for the Fourth Prince's subordinates, but the Fourth Prince's people don't care about money that much, so I came to you."
"This is true." Gehun understood the threat in Wen Qingzhu's words, but he really liked this jade pendant and didn't want to let it go.
As for helping place people into the Fourth Prince's team, he really couldn't do that.
So there is no need to think about it at all. Now Gehun just wants to get this jade pendant.
When Wen Qingzhu saw that he had not returned the jade pendant, he laughed out loud: "Since Boss Gehun knows my name, he must also know how the second prince's young wife died, right?"
Suddenly, Ge's body froze, of course he knew!
If Xia Feiyuan hadn't died, he wouldn't have known that a mysterious and powerful Lord Xiao Shui had arrived in Tianying City.
The greed for jade pendants and the fear of death are fighting, and no one has the upper hand for the time being.
Wen Qingzhu saw all the changes in his expression and felt very satisfied.
It seems that he was right to come here.
"Xiao Bei." Wen Qingzhu called out softly.
Beidou immediately appeared in front of Gehun, pressed his shoulder directly, and without any explanation, twisted it and broke it.
As soon as Gehun's hand loosened, he suddenly screamed: "Ah -"
Soon many guards appeared in the house and surrounded them.
Beidou took the jade pendant with his other hand and didn't let it break into pieces.
He turned back to look at Wen Qingzhu, but heard her say: "Crush the things used by low-class people into pieces."
Beidou did as he was told. He held the jade pendant with one hand, squeezed it hard, and then slowly released his hand. The original jade pendant turned into powder and slowly fell to the ground.
Seeing that the jade pendant he had longed for was gone, Gehun was really angered. He impulsively ignored Beidou's combat power, stared at the powder flying in the air with red eyes, and said viciously: "Catch them! Catch them!"
Gehun lost his mind, but his guard captain still saw the situation clearly.
He quickly shouted: "Sir! This person is difficult to deal with! Should we-"
It didn't matter that he was looked down upon by the enemy, but now his own people were actually afraid. Gehun suddenly raised his head and glanced at Wen Qingzhu.
He didn't dare to touch Wen Qingzhu, but he still dared to touch the guards around her!
What's more, his arm was also twisted off. Gehun could no longer control himself and shouted: "I want your uncle! Kill him! Kill him!"
Seeing that he had fallen into a state of madness, Wen Qingzhu smiled again.
