Chapter 236

Gu Zhaoxue was unwilling to work for Shen Wuming.

But since I had made the inner demon oath in the first place, I naturally didn't dare to disobey it now.

After all, even if Shen Wuming doesn't restrict her, she still has to consider her own practice.

If you violate the inner demon's oath, you may go crazy one day during practice.

Stay away from this kind of stuff.

What's more, with Gu Zhaoxue's ability to play around with the Cangzhou Army.

It is easy to be a gentleman in Liang Shang.

Most importantly, Alando was not around.

Gu Zhaoxue had already obtained the Persian scimitar without even alerting the people in Zuo Dadu Lieutenant's Mansion.

"It's really a luxury. No wonder Shen Wuming insists on me taking this knife."

"The recognition is really too strong."

A shadow passed through the layers of alleyways, and it was Gu Zhaoxue.

At this time, she was already thousands of miles away, playing with the sword in her hand.

The green shark skin scabbard is inlaid with precious gems.

Khotanese jade, clams, cat's eyes... and even a golden relic.

If you throw any one away, it will be worth tens of thousands of taels of silver.

The handle is made of golden nan wood, strong but soft.

It's ice cold when you grab it, and it's very textured, but not irritating.

In the middle, gold is used as a nail to fix the golden nan wood on the handle.

"It makes me so reluctant to give this knife to others."

With no one around, Gu Zhaoxue felt a little more emotional.

He shook his head and curled his lips.

Compared to when she was in front of Shen Wuming, Gu Zhaoxue looked more like a human being at this moment.

Live people.

After a few words of emotion, she still did not forget the business and hurried to the Yongjia Marquis Mansion.

Marquis Yongjia's real family is in the northwest, but he also has a mansion in the capital.

Moreover, it was specially built by the late Emperor just to accommodate the two protons of Marquis Yongjia.

"Who?"

Before Gu Zhaoxue could get close, two guards stepped forward to stop him.

The two guards were tall, with deep-set eyes, high nose bridges and protruding nostrils.

At first glance, he is not from the Central Plains.

They are all masters from the Tuyuhun tribe. Their cultivation is not high, but they exude a chilling temperament.

"Please tell the third young master of Yongjia Marquis that an old friend is visiting and I have something to ask for."

Gu Zhaoxue's expression was calm, and the two guards looked at each other in confusion.

They all choose the dishes based on the person. If they don't know the person, they have to look at his temperament.

At this time, Gu Zhaoxue was full of gestures, and the two of them did not dare to delay, so they asked her to wait for a moment.

Not long after, the guard who went to report came out and took her into the hall.

At this time, there was a tall man in a brocade robe standing in the hall, but his steps were a little sloppy.

Surprisingly, it was the man in rich clothes who had caused trouble for Shen Wuming in Lijing Tower that day.

"Oh, she's still a little beauty?"

The big man in brocade clothes played with the golden ring on his hand and looked Gu Zhaoxue up and down.

There was a trace of wretchedness in his eyes.

"Why didn't I know that I met such a beauty in the capital?"

"If you still don't tell me the truth, who are you? What do you want to do?"

At the end of the sentence, the big man's tone became a bit stern.

But Gu Zhaoxue remained unmoved. He just stepped forward and sat on a chair nearby.

"Old friends don't have to be acquaintances. Even if we know each other now, it's not too late."

"I have a business to do with you here. If it's done, we will naturally become old friends."

"Oh?" The big man in robes laughed loudly, "I'd like to hear, what's the business?"

"No matter how much our Yongjia Marquis Mansion declines, I won't be short of your three melons and two dates, right?"

Gu Zhaoxue shook his head, "Of course the Yongjia Marquis Mansion is not bad, but that doesn't mean that the Third Young Master is not bad."

"You think so?"

"Tell me about it." The big man in brocade didn't refute, he just raised his eyebrows and asked.

"I am a merchant, my name is Lu Zhaoxue." Gu Zhaoxue said lightly, "A descendant of Lu Buwei."

"Back then, my ancestor was a businessman between Qin and Zhao. Do you know what the most successful business was?"

The big man in brocade was thoughtful, but did not answer directly. Instead, he continued to ask, "What?"

Gu Zhaoxue's expression remained calm as he spoke eloquently.

"We business people are very particular about investment, but investing in business is never as good as investing in investors."

"So, my charming ancestor thought the same way back then."

"I picked a person to invest in, and then he changed from a merchant to the Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty."

"And now, I just want to follow the example of my ancestors and invest in the Third Young Master."

Gu Zhaoxue said it so clearly. The big man in rich clothes had also read history books, so he naturally knew what it meant.

However, he did not answer, but shook his head and said, "I'm afraid you are overthinking."

"Lu Buwei invested in Ying Yiren. No matter what, Ying Yiren is also the son of a dragon, Long Su, a descendant of the royal family."

"But I am just a minister, and the Yongjia Marquis Mansion is just to guard the northwest for His Majesty."

"Even if I drink fake wine, I still won't dare to compare with Ying Yiren."

"So, who are you? Who sent you here? What do you want to do?"

At the end of the sentence, the big man in brocade narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a hint of fierceness, and stared at Gu Zhaoxue coldly.

After all, he has lived as a hostage for so many years, and he still has some ability to protect himself.

Gu Zhaoxue put him in such a high position as soon as he arrived, but he didn't feel happy.

Instead, he felt cold in his heart.

This might be someone who wants to deal with the Yongjia Marquis Mansion...

Unexpectedly, Gu Zhaoxue just shook his head, "Third Young Master, you may have misunderstood."

"You are indeed a hostage, but how dare you compare yourself with Ying Yiren."

"You have the heart, but I don't have the courage."

"But investment doesn't necessarily have to invest you into an emperor, it can also invest you into the Yongjia Marquis."

"After all, to put it bluntly!"

"With your current position, the two brothers in front of you must have an accident before you can become the Yongjia Marquis."

"But the reality is that not only did they not have any accidents, but they also developed very well."

"Your eldest brother holds a large army, your second brother holds the finances of the mansion, and you are a hostage."

"When do you think you can become the heir of the Yongjia Marquis with your little calculations?"

The brocade-clothed man was originally full of anger, but when he heard this, he suddenly fell silent.

His face was uncertain.

If he said he had no ambitions, he would be lying. The man in brocade clothes didn't believe it himself.

Why did he go to provoke Shen Wuming?

Wasn't he just thinking about helping the King of Wei vent his anger and then getting close to him?

In the end, he lost more than he gained. Not only did he not make any contribution, but he also made the King of Wei lose face again.

At this time, the distance from the marquisate he wanted was getting slimmer and slimmer, and he was also confused.

At this time, a descendant of Lu Buwei came?
