Chapter 204 A drop of water takes a life
A timely word made Gu Chenhuan's expression soften slightly.
The man in front of him was spending a lot of money at the auction. He was able to buy all the treasures in one go, and it was probably easy to take over the auction items in the next two days.
Such strength is indeed what Gu Chenhuan longs for.
but……
These three things that the man proposed are impossible and impossible for him to do!
It can be said that Su Zhengneng all the way to the position of prime minister was secretly trained by Gu Chenhuan. Otherwise, how could a poor scholar marry the daughter of the general's mansion, and how could he securely become the prime minister?
As for the Imperial Master, he naturally did not dare to offend him.
The expulsion of the Xiao family was a key condition in his deal with the Imperial Preceptor. Any incident he had with the Imperial Preceptor over the years would make his father immediately take over his fiefdom and title.
"Who are you!"
Gu Chenhuan is not stupid. The three conditions proposed by this person are all aimed at the most important people around him. They must have a purpose.
After changing his previous kindness, he scolded with a cold look, "What is the purpose of using such means to attract the attention of this king and then going out of his way to say nonsense?!"
No longer hiding his identity, Gu Chenhuan naturally realized that Fan Ye knew that he was the King of Jin from the beginning, so he said these words on purpose.
Following his anger, three secret guards jumped from the rafters.
Several people held poison-quenched short blades in their hands and surrounded Fan Ye tightly.
The poisonous blade shone with a cold green light, as if a poisonous snake was about to bite Fan Ye's neck at the next moment.
"If you want to survive, tell the truth about your identity!"
"Who sent you to get close to me? What is the purpose?" In Gu Chenhuan's eyes, Fan Ye looked like a weak scholar. He looked at him arrogantly and asked in a cold voice.
"I don't have much patience. If you insist on refusing to say anything, don't blame my subordinates for treating you rudely!"
So what if he is an unknown master, he is a prince.
As long as he found any reason to accuse him of attacking the prince, eight heads would not be enough for him to chop off.
Of course, Gu Chenhuan didn't really want to kill Fan Ye, he was still thinking about the other party's bottomless money bag.
When the secret guard appeared, Fan Ye was taking a sip of tea.
Who wants to be interrupted before his mouth is wet?
He glanced at the three secret guards in front of him with some dissatisfaction and gently put down the tea cup.
When he raised his hand, the tip of his middle finger brushed the edge of the cup, and a drop of tea hung on his skin.
Before anyone could pay attention, Fan Ye raised his hand and flicked towards one of them.
The water droplets sank into the middle of the secret guard's eyebrows at an invisible speed, instantly piercing the back of his head. Blood spattered everywhere and left a blood hole the size of an egg.
The secret guard who fell to the ground was breathless. He faced Gu Chenhuan, and the wounds on his front were only a little red between his eyebrows.
This scene immediately made Gu Chenhuan stand up and back away in fear.
In panic, he even broke the glass vase behind him.
Fan Ye was the only one present who saw the scene of the ghost guard dissipating after his death.
It seems that these secret guards are involved in many dirty murders.
In order to climb to a high position, the King of Jin probably did a lot of secretly killing people and stealing goods.
"you……"
Gu Chenhuan has seen many people with strong martial arts skills. No matter what kind of weapon he is, he has witnessed actual combat. In order to consolidate his position, the mansion also has people with famous names in the world.
The fact that a drop of water can kill a person is not only unheard of, but also shocking to see.
Knowing that they were no match for Fan Ye, the two secret guards quickly came to Gu Chenhuan and protected him behind them.
Only if the master's life can be spared can they survive.
The poisonous blade was replaced by a long sword at his waist, and he faced off against Fan Ye, who had a casual look on his face.
"This cup of Dahongpao is indeed a good product."
Fan Ye picked up the tea cup and took a sip of the tea aroma, "It is not only the best tea, but also a good way to kill people."
"With just half a cup, I can raze your whole Ziyin Pavilion to the ground. Your Highness, Prince Jin, really thinks that these two secret guards of yours can protect you?"
Turning the teacup in his hand, the corner of the man's mouth lifted up into his first smile.
The warm smile that looked in Gu Chenhuan's eyes made him feel an endless chill in his heart.
The coldness ran up his back, making him choke and unable to breathe.
He had a very good plan. If cooperation could not be reached, he would arrest the person and put him under house arrest, and then control the family behind him for his own use.
But I didn't expect that this scholar-looking person had such terrifying methods.
When did the country of Mexico have such a powerful person?!
Why did he easily enter Beijing and come to the auction without hearing any news about it?
He doesn't know whether half a cup of tea can calm Ziyin Pavilion, but if he can't think of a countermeasure, he may really end up here today!
"Click."
The tea cup fell on the table, and the man in white slowly stood up, startling Gu Chenhuan and taking another half step back.
The two secret guards in front of him tensed up in a defensive posture, ready to die to protect their master at any time.
"Prince Jin, you don't need to be too nervous."
Fan Ye shook the dust off his gown and said with a kind face, "I have no choice but to take action in self-defense. As for the transaction we mentioned, it still counts."
"As long as you accomplish the three things I said, my promise will definitely come true."
Anyone who looked at the smiling man in front of him would think he was an aristocratic young man from some family. He was modest, polite, gentle and bookish. It was impossible for him to kill someone with just a raise of his hand.
It was the first time for Gu Chenhuan to see such a person, and he didn't answer with a dark face.
"Right."
Just as Fan Ye was about to leave, he turned around and reminded, "Before leaving, please ask Ziyin Pavilion to hand over all the treasures I bought and the money from the Ming Dan."
Gu Chenhuan's pupils shrank sharply, and the horror in his heart was no less than when he saw water droplets killing people.
He thought the person who brought the life pill was still waiting in the side hall, but it turned out to be the man in front of him?!
Now, my already chaotic mind became even more chaotic!
The man in front of him not only has unfathomable martial arts skills, but the family behind him also has inexhaustible wealth, and now he even has a life-sustaining elixir.
Even if he is a prince, he cannot afford to offend such a person.
Can……
Why did he have such a close relationship with the Xiao family!
"Someone is coming!"
Gu Chenhuan managed to regain his composure and called out to the door, "Take the distinguished guest to get the auction items and money."
The steward who had been waiting outside the door immediately opened the door and entered after hearing the prince's order.
Although what he heard outside the door was not clear, when he entered and saw the body of the secret guard, he naturally understood that a thrilling conflict had occurred here.
And the prince actually treated this man with great courtesy, indicating that this man must not be offended.
"Back to the master, all the treasures that the young master has taken have been packed and placed in the side hall." The steward bowed respectfully to Fan Ye, "Dear guest, please come with me."
It wasn't until Fan Ye's voice completely disappeared from the courtyard that Gu Chenhuan fell into his chair and breathed heavily.
After a long time, I finally came back to collect my thoughts.
"Prepare the carriage, and I will go to the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion!"
