The villain who dressed as a woman

Chapter 58 Trading
All the officials looked at Gu Mu's expression, and all of them were terrified.

"Your Highness..." They opened their mouths, but they didn't know what to say.

Your Highness is not afraid of death, how can they be greedy for life and afraid of death.

Kneeling on the ground one by one: "Chen... obey!"

Gu Mu didn't really have such a high awareness.

It's just that since it is necessary to boost the morale of the army, it is better to start from now.

That's why he just showed a righteous and awe-inspiring demeanor, while constantly hinting to himself in his heart to make his acting skills up to standard.

It's all about boosting morale.

After all, the disparity between the enemy and ourselves is too great, coupled with the timidity of fighting, there is no chance of winning this battle at all.

Gu Mu obtained peerless spear skills, and his body was strengthened by pills. His internal strength and skills were all first-class.

And with Resurrection Dan saving his life, the possibility that he will die on the battlefield is very low.

He will never allow other countries to run wild on his territory.

As long as the world is firmly in his hands, he has the confidence to let the people live a better life.

The overthrow and rise of every dynasty is full of corpses.

Otherwise, why would the saying "one general succeeds and ten thousand bones die" be passed down for thousands of years.

Some wars are inevitable in history. If he hadn't escaped, no one would have died.

If you have no strength and are cowardly, you will die more and more cruelly.

What Gu Mu is most worried about is when he goes to the frontier to fight.

Will someone behind steal the tower.

Like the queen mother, he attempted to launch a coup to seize power while he was not in the capital.

Or, if a traitor is mixed in among the soldiers, and he goes to the battlefield to kill the enemy, there will always be some miscellaneous fish who want to cause civil strife.

He has no skills at all, and when the enemy is in the dark, he is in the light.

What he can do is to cause chaos in the capital, so that the big fish lurking in the capital will also be exhausted, and the enemy will not have the energy to seize power during his personal expedition.

Palace, study.

The dead man who went out all night finally came back.

The specialty of the dead is that no one can find it in hiding, which is suitable for concealing and obtaining information.

Although he is not very good at fighting, he has his unique advantages.

So although Lu Xiaoyao's whereabouts are unpredictable, but the capital is so big, Gu Mu has the supreme authority, coupled with the characteristics of a dead man, after a night, he still found Lu Xiaoyao's whereabouts.

The dead man lowered his head and said expressionlessly, "Your Highness, Lu Xiaoyao has been found."

"She is currently renting in a small yard at the entrance of the alley in the west of the city. So far, she has learned the pattern of her whereabouts. She goes out to cockfights during the day, and with the money she wins, goes to the vegetable market with cabbage, and then returns to the yard with a vegetable basket to cook. "

The dead man reported an address.

Gu Mu put on a ghost mask, put on a black robe, and went to the entrance of the alley where Lu Xiaoyao was.

He did not show up immediately.

Instead, I observed it from the roof.

At this time, Lu Xiaoyao was holding a cage covered with steps in his left hand, and a vegetable basket in his right hand, just going out.

In the cage covered with cloth, is there a "cracking" sound?

It's the crowing of a big cock.

According to the intelligence of the dead man, she should be going out to fight cocks again.

Sure enough, she came to the end of the alley, which was a small casino organized by non-governmental organizations.

There are cricket fighting, cock fighting, and dice fighting.

Lu Xiaoyao walked to the cockfighting field, and lifted the white cloth, revealing a big red rooster with a majestic comb.

I saw her muttering: "It is impossible to work part-time. The only way to make a living is by fighting cocks."

She was dressed in gray and white linen clothes, she was a bit chivalrous, but her eyebrows and eyes were the softness of a standard oriental girl.

She opened her round eyes and smashed the chicken coop on the table: "I bet ten taels of silver."

Immediately, someone in the casino exclaimed, "It's General Chang Sheng who came..."

General Chang Sheng was not referring to Lu Xiaoyao, but the big rooster.

"Ten taels of silver is a bit much, we generally dare not exceed two taels of silver."

Perhaps during this period of time, Lu Xiaoyao's Ever Victorious General had gained a great reputation in the casino, and for a while, no one dared to fight against him.

Lu Xiaoyao sat beside him, a little bored.

At this time, Gu Mu pressed the ghost mask with his hand and appeared from the casino.

"If you want to make money, why use cockfights?" Gu Mu deliberately lowered his voice, speaking in a voice that wasn't his own.

"Who is teaching this girl how to do things?" Lu Xiaoyao turned around.

But facing the face of an old acquaintance...a mask.

"Doctor?!" Stars appeared in Lu Xiaoyao's eyes.

Last time, thanks to the money bag given to her by the doctor, she was able to rent a small yard and buy fighting cocks in this capital city where every inch of land was expensive.

What's more, doctors are much more interesting than these cowards who dare not bet even ten taels of silver.

Gu Mu looked at Lu Xiaoyao's reaction and smiled.

Lu Xiaoyao's weakness is simple, she needs money, a lot of money.

I don't know what she did, but when he returned to Beijing, the money bag he left her was enough for her to live well in the capital.

She was still in such a mess.

He can only rely on the money earned from cockfights to maintain three meals a day.

However, what Gu Mu lacked the most was money.

Under the ruling system above the imperial power in ancient times, every plant and tree in the world, and even human life, belonged to the emperor.

Not to mention silver.

The money in the national treasury alone is beyond reach for ordinary people.

Lu Xiaoyao needs silver, and he has it.

And Lu Xiaoyao is very skilled. The two of them, master and apprentice, have been chased all the year round, but they are still alive and well. On the other hand, it also shows her strength.

Without any real skills, who would dare to make enemies everywhere.

As long as he uses it well, Lu Xiaoyao will become a sharp sword for him, and he can kill wherever he points.

Most importantly, Lu Xiaoyao's master, Qingshan Xiaosheng, has dealt with that big fish lurking in the capital.

Reasonable use may be able to put a long line to catch big fish.

However, it was precisely because of Xiaosheng in Qingshan that he had assassinated Gu Mu.

Lu Xiaoyao said that she would go back to Beijing to get back something that belonged to her master.

They must have important things in the hands of that big fish, so they will do things for it.

It's hard to guarantee that he won't continue to be an enemy of the regent for that thing.

This is also the reason why Gu Mu disguised himself to meet Lu Xiaoyao in the name of a doctor.

If you want to make a deal with Lu Xiaoyao, you can only be a doctor, not the regent.

So as not to be bitten back.

"How much is the asking price?" Lu Xiaoyao struggled a little in his heart. If he waited any longer, some fool would be willing to fight her cock with ten taels of silver.

This is ten taels of silver.

Lu Xiaoyao had an expression of "don't try to bribe me if it's less than ten taels of silver".

"One hundred taels of gold." Gu Mu said.

For him, a hundred taels of gold is a small number.

He just went to the south of the Yangtze River for disaster relief, and the hybrid rice he spent was worth far more than a hundred taels of gold.

If he is willing, let alone using the treasury, he can trade hybrid rice and penicillin with other countries in exchange for huge benefits.

However, penicillin is a strategic material and cannot be circulated at will.

The hybrid rice is not yet mature, and the people's families have not yet harvested it, so it is not convenient to trade it for the time being.

Waiting for the autumn harvest, the prosperity of the people is just around the corner.

As for using a hundred taels of gold to establish the name of the hidden city and maintain the stability of the capital, it is definitely worth it.

It's just that his current identity is a doctor, and if he shouted loudly, it would easily lead to suspicion.

Shout a little, anyway, it won't be me who suffers.

Lu Xiaoyao can settle accounts.

She can tell the difference between ten taels of silver and one hundred taels of gold.

She immediately covered the big cock with a white cloth.

"make a deal."

She has been wandering around the rivers and lakes all year round, and she has a kind of chivalry that comes with her.

He agreed simply and neatly.
