Royal court was a mobile city People new here would be confused by the countless tents and chaotic paths,it as a filthy place that sheltered evil people and condoned evil practices

Those who had this idea would soon pay a steep price for it

Gu Shenwei received a great deal of valuable infor Wenshi+, so he would not co Wenshi+ had only been there for half a year, he had already figured out the , itwith the season In the winter, it htly west It can also adjust position if it encountered special circumstances, such as a ith the Central Plain”

In order to i in order, there were many rules in royal court For example, the north was always the main tent of Khan From that point further north, within one day’s journey by horse, no one was allowed to live or pasture, as with the upper reaches of the river

The nobles who followed royal court had their enca and protecting Khan Merchants, craftsmen, and low-level officials had their residences on the periphery Everyone had a residence per their name, identity, and status

It was not until after ns of losing control: trade caravans transporting goods, strangers looking for opportunities, servants looking for short-ter secret businesses were all randoap between one tent and another often allowed only one horse to pass

This chaotic area had thus become the first line of defense of royal court, usually called slurassland– dirty, ugly, but indispensable

Gu Shenwei’s first foothold in royal court was here

They arrived in the evening and could not venture into the noble area Gu Shenent first to find a contact nauaranteed that the person was extreinally fro around with royal court for a living since he was a teenager He earned the title of “Senior Shou” at the age of 40 At first, he was only called this by people in a small circle Five years later, even the northern nobles referred to him by this title Noas in his fifties If soinal name, he would not be able to respond in time

“All you need to succeed is ti of Senior Shou He had been doing only one kind of business for decades since the first ti as athe about the reasons and results

This business was not as easy as it seemed If he introduced an assassin or an abominable counselor to a noble, he would not be paid and would instead lose his life

Zhu Shou was able to survive because he had neverwhile

The young man looked pale and sick He seemed to be a timid and broken master But he had a saber on the waist, and his eyes looked fir at hierous, but he kne to control hi Wenshi+” Senior Shou pretended to recall this familiar name, and after a while, he continued, “I re Kuari”

Senior Shou lowered his head and said nothing He was not frightened He had seen so the price

The bigger the status gap between the two sides, the higher the price would usually be Senior Shou was unsure about the young ht for a moment, “You ers, before Fang Wenshi+ met Senior Shou, he once lived in the slunitaries but ood ih the inter Wenshi+Kuari and laid his first foothold in royal court Soon he moved into the craftsman’s area and then was invited to live in the noble area after the war on the seaside slope

Senior Shou was discreet in speech After confir fu and was not pedantic or annoying, he never asked any ’s ion, but unknown in Norland

If everything went according to plan, Fang Wenshi+ would have acted as theInstead, he stayed behind, so he reco Kuari, a short and fat eunuch He has a ht put on a fake beard, but he will never hide the mole You can reveal your identity to hi Kuari”

Now, Senior Shou wanted to know the nauest, because he was not only equipped with a saber but also a vigilant killing spirit That spirit was not a ht with others, but a unique temperament of a person who had killed numerous people and was numb to life Just like the difference between nobility and the newly-rich, they could be easily distinguished from their attitudes towards servants: the former is natural, and the latter emphasizes everywhere

Gu Shenwei reported his “na from his waist, put it on the counter, and slid it towards Senior Shou

Senior Shou ran a srocery store in sluoods had been stored for at least ten years and had never sold They were all covered with dust The dust also ration once in a fewand took a look inside Then he weighed it in his hand, and all the probleerous, but Senior Shou could keep hi as he took necessary preventive measures

“Come by the day after tomorrow,” Senior Shou instructed

“I want to see hiht,” Gu Shenwei requested

“It’s impossible”

“You haven’t tried yet How do you know it’s i orders Senior Shou looked at the guest again until he could no longer stand the coldness in his eyes “Well, I’ll try it You wait for er; just come by the day after to , had a grip as strong as an iron clasp “It has to be tonight,” the guest insisted

” I …” Senior Shou was slightly miffed, but softened his tone, “I will try my best Maybe I can’tWenshi+ ht” Gu Shenwei let go of Senior Shou When Senior Shou was close to the door, Gu Shenwei said, “Thank you for leaving me a person to chat with”
