Su Qi asked Ying Yi to take Gu Nanchen's removed arm and apply medicine to his face. After doing this, Su Qi sat back in the chair.
He waved his hand and asked Qin Wan to take Yun Manyu away.
She was afraid that Yun Manyu's presence would delay her work. Yun Manyu loved all the children of the Su family very much.
After Yun Manyu and Qin Wan left.
Su Qi looked at Gu Nanchen steadily, without saying a word.
Gu Nanchen felt a little uncomfortable being stared at.
"What are you looking at?"
Su Qi didn't say anything.
"Do you regret saving me?"
Su Qi sneered, "What's there to regret? If someone isn't worth saving, then just kill them if you see them."
"Tell me what the conditions are."
"Can you agree to my terms?"
"I only asked you for conditions, but I didn't promise you anything." Su Qi's look of disdain deeply hurt Gu Nanchen, "Don't think about those unrealistic things."
Gu Nanchen murmured to himself, "I don't want to go against you. I have no choice."
"If you have something to say, just say it. If you have something to fart, just fart it."
Everyone around stared at Gu Nanchen expressionlessly. Yue Jiushao and Yue Qinggang sat on Su Qi's left and right, each picking up a cup on the table and gently playing with the lid.
Gu Nanchen hid the unclear meaning in his eyes. He could do anything for Su Qi, as long as Su Qi treated him better.
Treat him like the people around you.
Unfortunately, when they met that time, Su Qi was too wary of him.
Gu Nanchen thought to himself: Why can’t you be more tolerant of me?
"Mrs. Gu. Susan is now in the hands of Mr. Ban's people. He said he wants the place of Yunzhou City." Gu Nanchen let out a breath.
"Are you from the Ban family?"
"No."
"Then you are from the Dongqi royal family?" Su Qi suddenly asked.
Gu Nanchen was stunned for a moment, then immediately rejected the idea. "No. I'm from Dashun."
When Yue Jiushao heard Su Qi's words, he raised his head and looked at Gu Nanchen seriously. He looked nothing like the War King's lineage, but there was one person he had forgotten.
"I heard that the current Emperor Dongqi was once obsessed with a prostitute when he was young."
Yue Jiushao said this while observing Gu Nanchen's expression.
Sure enough, Gu Nanchen's face changed drastically.
"You're talking nonsense."
"So he was born to a prostitute. I was wondering how he had no sense of propriety or shame. He's really good at repaying kindness with enmity." Su Qi deliberately pointed out his pain points to irritate him.
"You're talking nonsense. My status is as noble as Gu Beiheng's."
Su Qi asked coldly, "My husband's name is Gu Beiheng, but you insist on calling him Gu Nanchen. It seems your mother is quite ambitious."
Gu Nanchen howled in anger.
He allowed anyone to say bad things about his mother. "Su Qi. Gu Beiheng is just a bastard, what's the difference between him and me?"
"Yes. My mother-in-law comes from an aristocratic family in Yunzhou City, a fact that the prostitutes can't compare to." Su Qi stood up and looked at Gu Nanchen with disdain. "My husband is a man of his word and a decent man. How could a coward like you, who can't stand the light of day, associate with him?"
Su Qi deliberately provoked Gu Nanchen.
Constantly using clichés in conversation.
Gu Nanchen's background was his weakness. He grew up in a brothel until he was twelve years old. He was discovered by the Dongqi royal family and sent to other places for secret training.
He hates everything.
Although they hated those in the royal family, they had to rely on them.
"Your mother knows my husband's background, so you all know everything about his exile." Su Qi realized that all this seemed to be a conspiracy. "Could Concubine Liu and the others be dead?"
Hong Liu'er was rescued by the Tianli Cult and trained to be a substitute leader. But what about Aunt Liu and the others?
Gu Nanchen didn't expect Su Qi to think of this.
He laughed heartily and said, "What a shame. We had wanted Gu Beiheng to sell himself to us when he had nowhere else to go."
"Su Qi, you have a good mind, and you have great ambitions. If you join us, Dashun will still be yours."
"You want Dongqi and Nanli, and ideally, Daiyue and Beiliang to become your vassal states. Are you surrounding Dashun?" Su Qi frowned, and asked Gu Nanchen curiously. "Are you not thinking? What military force do you have to negotiate terms with us?"
"Let alone a few hostages, even dozens or hundreds of hostages would be useless."
Su Qi knew that they had more than just hostages.
"We have a secret weapon, the musket." Gu Nanchen looked into Su Qi's eyes and said.
Su Qi was silent for a moment.
In this era, there was no gunpowder, so where did the firearms come from?
The others had confused looks on their faces.
You clearly don't know what a fire gun is? Only Gu Nanchen can tell you.
"You know the power of the musket. What do you think will happen to Gu Beiheng and the War King this time?" Gu Nanchen laughed.
Su Qi was startled, but didn't say much. The nervous and frightened expression on her face made Yue Jiushao and Yue Qinggang nervous as well.
"Su Qi. Don't be scared by him."
"Yes, Gu Beiheng is a cat. It's not that easy for him to die." Yue Jiushao also comforted Su Qi.
"Come here, take Gu Nanchen to the secret room." Yue Jiushao ordered in a cold voice.
Ying Er and Zhi Yi took Gu Nanchen away from here.
After Gu Nanchen left, Su Qi let out a sigh. "Did I look like that just now?"
"Are you trying to scare us on purpose?" Yue Qinggang was speechless. He was still worried about Su Qi.
Su Qi shook her head and said, "He said there were muskets, so there must be muskets. But how did they come about?"
"What the hell is a fire gun?"
Su Qi looked at Yue Jiushao and said, "It's almost like a gun."
Yue Jiushao knew about guns, and his expression changed. "Then Master Gu is in danger, isn't he?"
"He was worried about accidents when he set out, so he had already made preparations." Su Qi murmured softly. She closed her eyes and repeated what Gu Nanchen had said. "Ying Yi."
Ying Yi just arranged for people to go out and look for Susan and the others. Where are they?
He just came back and heard Su Qi calling him, "Madam, what can I do for you?"
"Send someone to explore the area along the lake, especially places like the flower boats."
"yes."
After Su Qi gave Ying Yi her instructions, she told everyone to be careful during this period. The Gu Mansion was implementing strict controls, and anyone going out to buy things had to be accompanied by a shadow guard. "Don't let Dabao and Erbao go out."
"yes."
Thinking of what Gu Beiheng had told her, Su Qi sent someone to the government office to tell Li Tianfang to send someone to pick up Su Jingmo and his group.
Having done all this, Su Qi had to be on guard against attacks on the people in Mengjiazhuang.
He hurriedly wrote a secret letter and sent it to Mengjiazhuang, asking Su Ting and Su Yan to keep an eye on Feng Jiangsheng. He also told Su Ting and the others to hand over the affairs of the trade city to Peng Lao San and others as soon as possible.
Su Qi wrote a letter and then wrote another letter to Gu Beiheng.
While writing the letter, Su Qi thought of the imperial mausoleum again.
I have a feeling that the presence of so many people in the imperial mausoleum is not just due to lepers. Perhaps it's also due to muskets.
If there was a fire gun, could it be ancestor Rong Zhen? Why didn't the War King know about it while others did?
Su Qi thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out.
Fortunately, he wrote down his doubts in a secret letter and threw all the questions to Gu Beiheng.
And in Mingfeng Town.
There was also a group of unknown people, who seemed to be very concerned about the affairs of Mengjiazhuang.
That day, after several attempts to inquire failed,
I met Qiu Xiaoyao who was familiar with Mengjiazhuang.
