The guards chased after them for some distance, but it was dark at night, and the assassin could not be found, so they all returned in vain.

At this time, Tian Kezhang was still a little frightened, but he also knew that if there was no plateau, he might not be able to escape assassination this time, so he also saluted Gao Yuan and said: "Thank you Lord Shangqing for rescuing, I am really grateful." ”

Gao Yuan said: "There, there, under the hands of the hand." However, this assassination may not be a simple matter, so I ask An Pingjun to be more careful in the future. ”

Tian Kezang nodded and said, "Shangqing, please rest assured, you will definitely be more careful in the next place." ”

Gao Yuan said: "Okay, let's leave first." With that, he walked down the steps, got on his horse and led the vehicle of the Thirty-six Horsemen and the Sword Dancer, left Tian Kezang's mansion, and turned back to the pavilion.

Along the way, Gao Yuan was also thinking about who was going to assassinate Tian Kezang, in fact, it was not difficult to guess, because the only people in the entire Qi country who wanted Tian Kezang were the prime minister of the country, and there was no one else. It seems that the state of Qi is only showing peace, and the internal power struggle has entered the point of life and death.

However, the more tense the internal situation in Qi State, the closer the relationship between Tian Kezhang and himself, of course, it is beneficial to himself, but after this assassination incident, he can't be careless, because Hou Sheng's eyeliner, it is not difficult to find out the relationship between himself and Tian Kezang, after the assassination of Tian Kezhang has no result, Hou Sheng may turn the spearhead to himself, so he can't deal with it carelessly, because it is the protection of Lin Wenqing, it must be further strengthened, in case Lin Wenqing has any accidents, there will be a lot of losses to himself.

While thinking, everyone also returned to the pavilion. The people who stayed in the pavilion immediately came to see the plateau and reported to the plateau that it was Wei Zeng, the envoy of the Wei State, who invited the Gao Yuan, as well as the envoys of the Yan State and the Chu State to the banquet together. In addition, Lin Wenqing also sent the results of his negotiations with the four businessmen and put them in the study on the plateau.

Wei Wen's envoy wanted to invite him, which was already expected by Gao Yuan, so Gao Yuan also nodded, so he ordered someone to arrange a residence for Jian Wuji, and then went to the study to watch the results of Lin Wenqing's negotiations with the four merchants.

According to the agreement, the paper, books, furs and other items transported to Qi by Daijun were divided into five parts, of which the Tian family accounted for 30%, the Duanmu family and the Tao Zhu family each accounted for 20%, and the Guan family accounted for 1 percent and 5, and the Dai County merchant house also accounted for 1 into 5, which could be retailed in Linzi City, and the goods needed by Dai County were jointly provided by these four companies, and the Dai County merchant house was no longer allowed to cooperate with other merchants in Qi State. In addition, another caravan will no longer be sent to operate in the Qi country. At the same time, all paper books and furs will be sold at a uniform price, so as to avoid malicious price competition between each other.

On the whole, the agreement basically took care of the interests of all parties, ensured the interests of paper, books, and furs, and basically broke off the four families of the Tian, Duanmu, Taozhu, and Guan clans in the Qi State. And Daijun can also take this opportunity to completely open the market of Qi State, and make full use of Qi State's materials to supplement his needs. Lin Wenqing also built yì, and after returning to Daijun, he tried his best to expand the production of paper books, which was a variety of books, and it was also necessary to further enrich them.

After reading it, Gao Yuan's heart suddenly moved, and he immediately said, "What person." ”

I saw a figure flicker, and a black shadow jumped into the room through the window and sat in front of the plateau, which turned out to be the dog butcher I had just met during the day today. However, at this time, the dog butcher was dressed in black and wrapped his head with a black cloth, but he did not cover his face with a black cloth.

Gao Yuan glanced at the dog butcher and said, "Brother Dog Butcher, it's really you." ”

The dog butcher also smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect it to be you." ”

It turned out that the dog butcher was the assassin who had assassinated Tian Kezang just now. In fact, when Gao Yuan fought with the dog butcher, he had already recognized the dog butcher's slightly short and fat body. However, he didn't expect that the dog butcher would come to him overnight.

Gao Yuan said: "Why did Brother Dog Tu assassinate An Pingjun." ”

The dog butcher smiled bitterly again and said, "Of course I was entrusted by someone. ”

Gao Yuan said: "Then who asked Brother Dog Tu to assassinate An Pingjun." ”

The dog butcher shook his head and said, "Brother Li, you don't have to ask more, I can't tell you about these things." I'm here to see you now, just to sue you, I have no personal enmity with An Pingjun, and the assassination of him is just entrusted by someone, since Brother Li protects An Pingjun, then I will give up this assassination. ”

Gao Yuan said: "Brother Dog Tu gave up assassinating An Pingjun, how can he explain it to your client?" ”

The dog butcher smiled: "Actually, I have nothing to do with them, but I received some favors from them back then, and promised to help them shoot five times and kill five people, and this time is exactly the fifth time, although this time I didn't succeed, but the first four times I killed were all high-ranking officials of the Qi State, so I can be regarded as worthy of them." And I don't plan to go back to the dog meat shop again, I will leave the Qi country overnight tonight, and they will not be able to find me again in the future. After a pause, he said: "I have lived in seclusion in Qi Country for seven years, and I didn't expect that before leaving, I would be able to make friends like Brother Li, and it would be in vain for a few years." Tonight, I specially came to say goodbye to Brother Li, and Brother Jing and Senior Brother asked Brother Li to tell me, and I won't go to see them. ”

Gao Yuan nodded and said, "An Pingjun's matter, thank you Brother Goutu." In the future, if Brother Dog Tu is free, even if he comes to Daijun to find me, we will be drinking and talking happily and getting drunk. ”

The dog butcher immediately got up and said, "Okay, if you get it, you will definitely go to Daijun in the next place, so don't go over." As he spoke, he got up and saluted Gao Yuan, and said, "Brother Li, beware of the woman you brought back, if my guess is correct, she should be from the same organization as me." ”

Gao Yuan was stunned for a moment and said, "What? He was about to ask again, when the dog butcher jumped out of the window and disappeared into the darkness.

Gao Yuan also sighed in his heart, put the paperwork away, and got up to go back to the bedroom to rest.

When I came to the door of the bedroom, I saw a slender figure in the room, sitting with his back to the door, wearing a long red dress, it was Jian Wuji. Gao Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then he thought that after he came back, he had ordered someone to arrange a residence for Jian Wuji, but he didn't expect them to arrange Jian Wuji in his room, probably because people misunderstood their own meaning. However, thinking of the dog butcher's words to remind him, he didn't feel a little embarrassed in his heart, and he also raised his vigilance a little.

While thinking about it, Gao Yuan came to the door of the room, only to see Jian Wuji's shoulders trembling slightly, obviously sensing that there was someone behind him. Gao Yuan's heart moved, although he didn't deliberately light his steps, but being able to hear his own movements was definitely not an ability that an ordinary dancing girl could have. It seems that what the dog butcher said was not a lie.

Therefore, Gao Yuan's heart moved, and he suddenly stepped forward and reached out to grab the back shoulder of Jian Wuhime. Just as Gao Yuan's fingers just touched Jian Maiji's shoulder, I saw Jian Maiji's shoulder sink, shrink and let go, and actually broke away from Gao Yuan's palm, turned around suddenly, and turned his left hand as a knife, cutting horizontally towards Gao Yuan's throat. But Takahara was prepared, reaching out and grabbing her wrist.

At this time, Jian Wuji also saw clearly that the person who came was the plateau, so he exclaimed and said, "Lord Shangqing." "At the same time, the body is soft, not struggling.

However, in the past few moments, it has been revealed that the sword dancer is not weak, so Gao Yuan smiled faintly and said: "Good martial arts, it seems that you are not only good at dancing, but also not bad." ”

Jian Wuji's face turned pale, and Wei Qiang showed a hint of a smile and said, "Lord Shangqing said that he was smiling. The concubine is just a weak girl, she can only sing and dance, and she just fights indiscriminately, what kind of martial arts is that. ”

Gao Yuan suddenly stretched out his hands, grabbed her shoulders, his eyes were blazing, he stared at Jian Wuji, and said, "Don't you tell the truth?" You're no ordinary cabaret girl, let's be honest, who are you? ”

Jian Wuji only felt that Gao Yuan's eyes were full of light, very compelling, his whole body was shocked, and he didn't dare to look at him, his chest was like a heavy weight, his breath was short, and his forehead was soaked with sweat. couldn't help but tremble: "Lord Shangqing, the concubine is really just a dancing girl, just good at sword dancing, adults can go to the female Lu outside to inquire, but everyone outside knows the concubine." Just to be able to please the guests, so he also learned some martial arts, and later was favored by An Pingjun, bought the concubine, and transferred it to the adult. ”

Gao Yuan said lightly: "No, the dancing girl is just your hidden identity, and you are favored by An Pingjun, it is just a clever arrangement, in fact, it is intended to send you to An Pingjun's side." ”

Hearing Gao Yuan's words, Sword Maihime's whole body shook, revealing a frightened light. In fact, Gao Yuan just deceived her, but after hearing the dog butcher say that Jian Wuji was from the same organization as him, Gao Yuan estimated that Jian Wuji was actually deliberately sent to Tian Kezang's side, but through some ingenious arrangements, it seemed as if Tian Kezang himself had taken a fancy to Jian Wuji. I'm afraid even Tian Kezang himself didn't notice it. And looking at the expression of the sword dancer, Gao Yuan also knew that he was indeed right.

Jian Wuji said: "The concubine body doesn't know what the adults say, the concubine body is really favored by An Pingjun." ”

Gao Yuan smiled: "Actually, this is not difficult to verify, as long as I ask An Pingjun, he bought you before and after, I can judge clearly, what is going on." And even if you don't say it, it doesn't matter, some of my people have to be good at using punishment, if you estimate that you can survive the torture, of course you can not say it, but if you can't survive, it is better to say it first, otherwise after being tortured, you still have to tell the truth, and you will suffer in vain. ”

After Gao Yuan finished speaking, Jian Wuji's face turned pale, and even her body trembled, obviously Gao Yuan's words had touched Jian Wuji's heart, and after a while, she said: "If the concubine tells the truth to the adult, can the adult protect the safety of the concubine?" ”
