The Multiverse Starting from White Deer Plain - 552. Meet Ji Yanran
“Ji Yanran? Is this woman Ji Yanran?”
Bai Gui was surprised at first, and then he was relieved. Ji Yanran is a well-known talented woman in various countries. She is proficient in poetry, calligraphy, and painting. In addition, her godfather is Zou Yan, so she is even more famous in various countries. It is normal for such a talented woman to have some precious collections.
It is not unimaginable that the Ganjiang Sword from the world of Xun Qin Ji… would fall into Ji Yanran’s hands.
“Will you step back first?”
Bai Gui accepted the invitation and said.
The retainers took the order and retreated from the courtyard of the post house.
“Master, I didn’t expect that Ji Yanran turned out to be the goddess of your dreams.” After the doorman left and she and Bai Gui were the only ones left in the room, Shanrou asked in disbelief.
In the past few days of getting along, Shanrou increasingly believed that Bai Gui was the reincarnation of an immortal. Not to mention the “enchantment technique”, astonishing swordsmanship and unpredictable restrictions, Bai Gui’s speech and behavior are completely different from the previous Zhao Li. Zhao Li may be pretending! This is her guess.
The Shan family was harmed by Zhao Mu, the giant deer lord. How could Shanrou not understand Zhao Mu and Zhao Li? Bai Gui could hide it from Zhao Mu, but he couldn’t hide it from the prying eyes of Shanrou, his rival, let alone Shanrou. She was by his side as Bai Gui’s concubine.
And the appearance is exactly the same, except that the immortal has unpredictable strength… it is difficult to explain all this.
“Do you know Ji Yanran?”
“That’s right, you are from Qi, and Ji Yanran’s adoptive father Zou Yan is also from Qi…”
Bai Gui nodded, understanding instantly.
Shanrou is the apprentice of Cao Qiudao, the swordsman of Qi State. Cao Qiudao is extremely famous in Jixia Academy, as is Zou Yan. Famous people tend to have a small social circle. Just like Zhao Zheng, he met Prince Dan of Yan State when he was a child, and they were both hostages detained in Zhao State.
“I wonder what the master dreamed about Ji Yanran in his dreams?”
Shanrou raised her eyes and glanced at Bai Gui, and asked cautiously.
She believes that Bai Gui is a reincarnated immortal, so Ji Yanran must have extraordinary abilities to be dreamed by Bai Gui, a reincarnated immortal. There is even a secret hidden in Ji Yanran. As long as she gets a glimpse of this secret, she might be able to get revenge.
“The revenge that deserves to be avenged, as long as you obey my orders, I will avenge you…” Bai Gui glanced at Shanrou. How could he not know Shanrou’s little thoughts, but he had not been tamed for a long time, and he was the son of an enemy. It’s normal for Shanrou to have such thoughts. He half-threatened: “But if you have two minds and do something unwise, I don’t want to implicate others, but you, the Shan family…”
He didn’t say anything else clearly. But the meaning is obvious. If you dare to ruin his plan, he won’t mind killing the last three members of the Shan clan.
“I understand.”
Shanrou was startled, and quickly fell to the ground, begging for mercy.
Bai Gui’s knocking words really woke her up. Her life was manipulated by Bai Gui. With Bai Gui’s current strength, he was no less than the best in the world. However, he started late and had no one under his command, so her life was spared. If she doesn’t know what’s good, Bai Gui can completely replace her with someone else.
“Get up.”
Seeing this scene, Bai Gui was slightly satisfied. After Shanrou straightened up, he groaned and continued: “You should have your master’s contact information, summon twenty good men, pretend to be from Qin, and assassinate Lord Xinling. After ten days, I want to see the results. “
Lord Xinling is not that easy to assassinate.
Like Lord Mengchang, Lord Xinling’s retainers are all top-notch in the world, and he has countless talented people. Once Lord Xinling and King Wei were playing chess, and the border said that Zhao was violating the border, but Lord Xinling dissuaded King Wei, saying that it was just King Zhao who was hunting. King Wei asked Lord Xinling how he knew about this, and Lord Xinling said His disciples can lurk in King Zhao’s palace to spy on King Zhao’s secrets.
Bai Gui asked Shanrou to send his assassins to assassinate Xinling Lord Wei Wuji, but he didn’t believe they could succeed. It is more difficult to assassinate Lord Xinling than to assassinate Julu Hou.
Cao Qiudao is a swordsman of Qi State on the surface, but privately he is the assassin leader of various countries.
“Master, I have Master’s contact information, but…”
A look of embarrassment appeared on Shanrou’s face, “I lost a man last time, and I can’t get any favors from the master. It will be very difficult to send twenty more good men like last time… unless the master is willing to support the assassination of Lord Xinling.” cost.”
“The price?” Bai Gui was prepared and not surprised, “What’s the price?”
Shanrou sat upright and said with a focused look: “Among the countries, it is the most difficult to assassinate the Seven Kings, but the price of assassinating the Seven Kings is only five thousand gold, while the price of assassinating Lord Xinling and Lord Chunshen is the highest level. The price of assassinating Lord Xinling is the highest level. It takes ten thousand gold to assassinate Lord Chun Shen and eight thousand gold.”
“The defense of the palace of the Seven Kings is not necessarily inferior to that of the Four Young Masters.”
Bai Gui frowned.
“Naturally, the seven kings are the most defensive. But to assassinate Lord Xinling and Lord Chunshen, you have to choose another good hand, because these two young masters are famous in the world. If the assassin knows that he is assassinating these two young masters, 90% of the people will abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side. It is easy for the news to be leaked by trusting Lord Ling and Lord Chunshen.”
Shanrou hesitated for a moment and replied.
When Bai Gui heard this, he understood instantly. In a world of low martial arts, defense is only as tight as it gets. But the two young masters, Xinling Lord and Chun Shen Lord, are different. They are famous in various countries, and the assassins are mostly knights. When they hear about assassinating these two young masters, they are not willing to do it. Even some moral people may hear it. If you want to assassinate Lord Xinling and Lord Chunshen, you will kill yourself.
These words are not false talk, but they are indeed possible.
“Ten thousand gold…, I don’t have any.”
Bai Gui shook his head. Ten thousand gold was not a small amount. The Qin State could not use so much money in a year to bribe the ministers of the six countries. Of course, this is just a price Cao Qiudao made up to prevent some bastard from going to assassinate the Seventh King and the Fourth Young Master on impulse. If someone really wants to buy the lives of the Seventh King and the Four Young Masters, it would be worth spending this much money.
“Juluhou, my father, how much are you asking for?”
He thought for a moment and asked.
“Juluhou…”
Shanrou was startled for a moment, and then replied without thinking: “It only costs 1,500 gold to assassinate Juluhou Zhao Mu. Most of the princes and ministers of the Six Kingdoms pay this price. As for the Qin State, it is another matter. The Qin State is governed by Legalism. The rule is strict and you need to take care of yourself before you can pass.”
“Ten thousand gold…” Bai Gui stood up and walked around. If he were still in the world of Journey to the West now, he could easily get out the ten thousand gold with the Midas touch. But now it is not appropriate to use too much magic power to conjure ten thousand gold. Gold, it would be better for him to just rob 10,000 gold. He thought about it, randomly pinched a stone sunspot from the chess basket in the post house, and then poured a wisp of sword energy from Gan Jiang Sword into it.
“You pass this chess piece to Cao Qiudao and say that this chess piece is worth ten thousand gold.”
After he finished speaking, he threw the black child into Shanrou’s hands.
The sunspot fell into his hand, and Shanrou was almost knocked down by the sunspot. After a ray of sword energy was poured into the chess piece, it was at least thousands of times heavier than before.
For Cao Qiudao to be called a swordsman by his contemporaries, he must have reached a certain level of transcendence. Shan Rou could not see this wisp of sword energy, but Cao Qiudao could definitely see it.
The way forward….
Hope for the future can be bought with more than ten thousand gold.
As long as Cao Qiudao has a little bit of brain, he will do what he asks. If Cao Qiudao refused and dared to come to him secretly and wanted to take it by force, that would be easy. Treat him with kindness and gentleness, and he will immediately control a large-scale assassin organization. Even if he can’t conquer all the countries with this, he will soon make up for his shortcomings in manpower.
As for why he doesn’t control the kings of the Seven Kingdoms, it’s also simple. Not to mention that Bai Gui’s method of controlling people through restraints should not be used casually to avoid adding too many causes and consequences. Now that you have entered the chess game, it is best to act according to the rules. If there are too many small tricks, it will inevitably cause the displeasure of the heaven in this world. Secondly, the king of the seven kingdoms gathered people one by one to look for luck and went to control these seven people. He didn’t want to experience the world of Qin Ji…
“Yes, Master.”
He bowed his head kindly and softly, and retreated to the other courtyard of the post house.
Although she didn’t understand the meaning of this sunspot. But just the unusual weight of this sunspot will double the price of this sunspot and turn it into a rare treasure. Like Ruohe’s jade, it is priceless.
…
The next day.
A carriage set off from the post house and stopped at the door of Lord Xinling’s residence.
Bai Gui sat in the carriage and waited patiently.
Ji Yanran invited the ministers of Wei to discuss major affairs of the country, and she would never miss inviting Lord Xinling. Similarly, the reason why the banquets at Yahu Xiaozhu are so famous is because Lord Xinling occasionally participates in them. In addition, Mr. Shao Yuan is also a lustful person, and it is impossible for him to remain indifferent to this banquet.
His retainers can all get invitations to Yaqin Xiaozhu’s banquet, so there’s no reason why Mr. Shao Yuan can’t get them.
Not long after, the side door of Lord Xinling’s mansion opened, and several carriages sped out, stopping next to the carriage where Bai Gui was sitting.
Bai Gui leaned forward from the carriage, cupped his hands and said, “I have met Lord Xinling and Lord Shaoyuan.”
As he leaned out, the curtains of the two carriages in the front were also opened, revealing the appearance of two men, one middle and one young, both with smiles on their lips. The boy is Shao Yuanjun.
The middle-aged man is naturally the Lord of Xinling, Wei Wuji. Although he is already in his sixties, he is well-maintained. His temples are slightly gray, and his face does not look old. Instead, he looks like a young man in his thirties or forties. Coupled with his impressive figure, he is even more… It’s heroic.
“Uncle, this person is Mr. Li, the number one swordsman in our Zhao Kingdom.”
Lord Shaoyuan introduced Lord Xinling to Wei Wuji.
“The First Swordsman?”
Lord Xinling glanced at Bai Gui with slight surprise. He saw that Bai Gui was only a young man with a delicate face. He looked more like a playboy raised by a woman in a deep palace. He did not look like a top swordsman at all. However, he did not expose Lord Shaoyuan. Furthermore, Bai Gui must be outstanding in being able to go to Zhao as an envoy. He nodded slightly and said: “Young master Li is young and has made great achievements. In time, he will definitely be the pillar of Zhao Guo.”
“Mr. Xinling, thank you very much.”
“If people in the market say that Li is similar to Lord Xinling, he will be overjoyed.”
Bai Gui praised Lord Xinling.
The four young masters are all people with good reputations, otherwise it would be impossible to accumulate such a huge reputation. His words played right into Lord Xinling’s wish, and he looked at Bai Gui with an extra warmth.
“It’s getting late, you and I should go to Yaqin Xiaozhu early.”
Lord Xinling raised his eyes to look at the sky and said.
A group of motorcades moved along in a hurry.
“I didn’t expect that Lord Xinling would also covet Ji Yanran. Also, Lord Xinling is famous in various countries for his good wine, seclusion and beauty. He has always been a lustful person…”
Sitting in the carriage, Bai Gui cursed.
He could see the trace of anxiety deep in Lord Xinling’s eyes. Even though he can’t use his magic power now and find it difficult to use his psychic powers, he can still peek into one or two people’s hearts.
It’s just that… Lord Xinling is old-hearted, which is a bit beyond his expectation.
The carriage and horse soon turned into a path with whirling trees, and there was a quiet and elegant garden courtyard in front of it. There is a plaque with the name “Yahu Xiaozhu” hanging on it.
The three of them got off the carriage, followed closely by several diners.
“Hongying Young Master Lian Jin?” Lord Xinling was slightly surprised when he saw Lian Jin behind Bai Gui, and then looked away. Lian Jin’s defection to Julu Hou could not be hidden from his eyes and ears, but he did not expect that Lian Jin would become Bai Gui’s personal bodyguard. After all, even Jin was considered a famous swordsman in various countries, so being a guard for the son of a high official was a certain humiliation.
People like Lian Jin are usually treated as honored guests by ministers.
However, Lord Xinling only looked at it for a moment and then withdrew his gaze. He introduced to Lord Shao Yuan and Bai Gui: “The mistress of Yahu Villa, Ji Yanran, is well-known in various countries. She has great talents and is very close to the widow Qing.” She is ranked as one of the two most amazing women today… It’s hard for me to kiss her, so it depends on you two.”
If he used force, Ji Yanran might come to his house to serve him today. But even though he loves beauty, he would not do such a despicable thing.
While the three of them were chatting and joking, they entered the main hall of Yahu Villa.
In the main hall, there are seven or eight rows of tables and tables, and in the main seat, a bead curtain is hung to cover the people behind the scenes. The person behind the scenes couldn’t see clearly, and could only see the dim and graceful figure, the hair in a high bun, and a few hairpins inserted into the temples… At this moment, the woman was sitting upright and playing the piano. As her bare hands lightly brushed the surface of the piano, beautiful notes came from behind the bead curtain.
Needless to say, the person behind this is Ji Yanran.
“Please take your seat, Mr. Xinling.”
Seeing Mr. Xinling coming, Ji Yanran didn’t dare to take it seriously, so she stood up and invited him.
Her voice was gentle and graceful, like a wind chime, and extremely clear.
Lord Xinling sat at a side table near the bead curtain, closest to Ji Yanran. There is only one side table, and presumably it is only for Lord Xinling.
“This is Lord Shaoyuan, the son of Lord Pingyuan.”
After Lord Xinling took his seat, he pointed at Lord Shaoyuan. Then he pointed at Bai Gui and said with a smile, “This is Zhao Li, the son of Juluhou from Zhao Kingdom.”
Unlike Lord Pingyuan and Lord Xinling, Zhao Mu, the Marquis of Julu, had a lot of bad reputation.
Several of the scholars sitting there whispered and criticized Bai Gui.
“Is this Mr. Li?”
“I heard that Young Master Li is outstanding in swordsmanship and is the best swordsman in the Zhao Kingdom. I never thought that Yanran would be lucky enough to meet Young Master today…” Ji Yanran bowed slightly and said softly.
“In the Wei Kingdom, Lord Long Yang is the best in swordsmanship, and the next one is Miss Ji.”
Lord Xinling interrupted.
