Chapter 122 Investment
At night, in the study of the Jiang Mansion, Ye Jinxiu sat at the desk, looking at the papers on the table for a long time without being able to start writing.
"Boom, boom, boom"
A knock at the door brought her back to reality slightly.
Ye Jinxiu reached out and crumpled the papers on the table into a ball, then stood up and opened the door.
Looking at the person at the door, Ye Jinxiu asked softly, "Is everything done?"
Li Hongyu nodded and said, "Uncle Master, rest assured. I have arranged for reliable personnel to escort Mr. Lin to the border."
He slightly stepped aside to let Li Hongyu enter the study. After the two of them sat down, Li Hongyu asked with some doubt:
"Master, are we making a big fuss about this matter? I think Mr. Lin should be a sensible person. If we just give him a little hint, I think he should be able to keep the secret."
Alas! Ye Jinxiu sighed softly, "Hongyu, what do you think of Young Master Gu?"
After a brief pause, Li Hongyu said, "He is skilled in martial arts, has special skills, and most importantly, has principles in doing things. Overall, he is a good person."
"So what do you think of the current situation in the world?"
Li Hongyu lowered her head to think for a moment and continued, "Although there is a small disturbance, the court can still suppress it, and there won't be any chaos."
Hearing this, Ye Jinxiu shook her head and said, "In recent years, border wars have become more and more frequent. Although General Shen Kuo has suppressed them, the grassland barbarians still have the advantage if we only consider the middle and lower-level forces. That is why General Shen is firmly restrained in the border area.
Moreover, the territory of Daqian is not as peaceful as it seems. There are rebels, cults, and demons.
Alas! I am afraid that Daqian will have more troubles than we imagined."
"So, Master wants to use Young Master Gu to break the impasse."
“Yes, but he is not strong enough to help us clear the trouble now.
But he was able to kill Ding Xiu, and he has special physical talents, so I am very optimistic about him."
"Has the news been confirmed, Master?"
"Well, he should be right."
"Even if he kills Ding Xiu, we..."
Ye Jinxiu waved her hand gently
"You are still young and don't understand what the name Ding Xiu means."
“I used to be very optimistic about him, and so was your master. Even General Shen Kuo said that Ding Xiu was a genius who might surpass him.
It’s just that Ding Xiu was too stubborn and acted too extreme, and he ended up in a dead end.
Young Master Gu was able to kill Ding Xiu at this age. No matter what means he used, it would shock everyone in the world."
"So Master Uncle wants to do his best to befriend Master Gu."
Hearing this, Ye Jinxiu slowly shook her head again and said, "It's not friendship, it's a transaction, a fair and sincere transaction.
Although Mr. Gu and I have not been together for a long time, I can see that he is very principled. Instead of trying to please him all the time, it would be better for both parties to be more honest so as to increase their friendship.
But I haven't made up my mind yet what price I should pay to trade with him. I'll have to wait until we spend some time together and get to know each other better before I can get a better attitude towards the deal."
"Besides, there is no rush. Things have not yet developed to the point where we have to make a hasty decision."
"It's getting late, Hongyu. You should go down and rest first. Get ready in the next few days. I will go to Jinzhou with you this time."
"it is good"
Then Li Hongyu stood up and bowed, saying, "Master, you should also go to bed early. Hongyu will take her leave now."
After Li Hongyu left, Ye Jinxiu picked up the brush on the table and wrote the three words "Gu Nian'an" on the paper. Staring at the name on the paper, the light in her eyes gradually became firm.
In this impending chaos, the Yanyue Sect has few choices. Since God has sent this person to them, some opportunities will only have results after trying them.
The next morning, Shen Qiuxue brought the doctor for treatment as usual, but this time the doctor was different.
At the same time, Ye Jinxiu also followed the two of them to Gu Nian'an's room.
After the doctor left, Ye Jinxiu slowly walked to the bedside and asked, "Is Young Master Gu's injury better?"
Gu Nian'an looked at the smiling woman beside the bed and always felt a little weird, but this time he owed her a huge favor, so as long as Ye Jinxiu didn't make any requests that would embarrass him, he would not refuse.
After thinking for a while, Gu Nian'an bowed and said, "Madam Jiang, is there anything you want me to do? If it's not too difficult, Madam Jiang, please just ask."
Hearing this, Ye Jinxiu quickly waved her hand and said, "I'm just a little concerned about Young Master Gu's recovery from his injury.
As for the rest? Is Young Master Gu ready to leave Xinze County? "
"Well, my injuries have improved a lot. I will go to Wuyun City in the next two days to check the situation first."
There was no need to hide the news that he was leaving. Even if Ye Jinxiu didn't ask him, he would find a chance to tell her later.
"Then why don't you come with us, Young Master Gu?"
Let's go together? If possible, Gu Nian'an actually didn't want to go with the people from Yanyue Sect.
Firstly, the Yanyue Sect is a huge force, and forces like this never lack enemies. If we travel with them, there will probably be a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Secondly, this time he went to Wuyun City, he wanted to secretly find out the cause and effect of the matter before making any plans. If he traveled with the people from the Yanyue Sect, it would be difficult to hide it from the investigation of those who were interested.
Of course, there are pros and cons. By traveling with the people from the Yanyue Sect, at least I can learn about some changes in the city through them before arriving in Wuyun City, which will facilitate my subsequent investigation, and I can also see if there is any chance to repay the favor along the way.
Debts of favor like this are sometimes the most troublesome. Once you owe them, you will always feel uneasy.
After weighing the pros and cons, Gu Nian'an put on a smile and said to the woman beside the bed, "If we are going the same way, it would be good for us to go together. At least there will be someone to take care of us on the way. But I am seriously injured and I am afraid that I will cause trouble to Madam Jiang along the way."
Hearing the answer from the young man on the bed, Ye Jinxiu smiled even more. "That's not true, Young Master Gu. The journey to Jinzhou is long. We may need Young Master Gu's protection along the way."
Ha! Did he really think she was her ignorant senior sister? This time she was going to Jinzhou with enough people. She wanted to see who was so blind as to cause trouble for their Yanyue Sect.
