Chapter 171: The Enemy Hiding in the Dark

In an inconspicuous courtyard in the capital, Gu Youkai, the owner of Rende Pharmacy, was having a secret conversation with a man in gray.

Gu Youkai is about forty years old, with a round and blissful figure and a mustache. He smiles kindly.

At this moment, he withdrew his usual smile and stood respectfully in front of the man in gray.

Rende Pharmacy was originally a time-honored pharmacy in the capital city. In addition to selling medicinal materials, some doctors attend consultations.

Rende Pharmacy is known for its benevolence. For poor families, it will reduce or exempt the consultation fees, and can also be credited. It also regularly goes to various places for free consultations.

This kind of business method is not easy to make money, and the previous generations of Gu Youkai could only operate dismally.

After Gu Youkai took over, at first it was poorly managed but had a good reputation. It became widely known after being publicly praised by the former emperor.

In just over ten years, it has been opened all over the capital. There are more than 30 drugstores in the capital, and there are hundreds of medicine shops in the neighboring towns of the capital.

The man in gray had an inconspicuous appearance, probably in his thirties, just like the middle-aged men on the street.

But if he looks closely, he can find that there are thick calluses on the palm of this person and the tiger's mouth, and the body contains strength, which is as sharp and dangerous as an unsheathed sword.

The gray-clothed man said: 『Jingdu Guard has been guarded by Liu Mingyin, a diehard party member, for many years, and it is unshakable. This time, handing over to General Tengfei is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for King Jing'an.』

Gu Youkai replied: 『I heard that the Marquis of Yongning's family is also loyal to the emperor and patriotic...』

The man in gray said: 『There are people of our own in the Marquis of Yongning.』

After speaking, the man in grey moved slightly and said: 『This Concubine Qi's niece is really useless, if she hadn't been timid and afraid of trouble, King Jing'an would have been successful.』

After thinking for a moment, he said: 『All the staff think that this opportunity is better than before. Fu Teng is in charge of the military. As soon as he lets go, King Jing'an's people can go straight to the gate of the palace. Did Guan Yue come to you for help?』

Gu Youkai replied: 『I asked Nanny Zhuang to get the pregnancy medicine, and wanted to blame the Marquis of Changping's daughter Mu Yi. But as far as I know, Fu Teng's lover is currently being disciplined by the Marquis, and the plan of blaming her cannot be carried out for the time being.』

This gray-clothed man is Jiang Kui, one of King Jing'an's capable staff members. He is skilled in martial arts and is good at disguise, so he can help King Jing'an return to the capital in secret.

Zhao Qin, the King of Jing'an, has great ambitions, is brave and resourceful, respects the corporal, and wins the support of a group of virtuous talents.

When the former Emperor was in power, he thought about changing the crown prince. Unexpectedly, the former Emperor died suddenly just after his thirties, and Prince Zhao Wei succeeded to the throne. Although Zhao Qin was not assigned to the frontier, the fiefdom was far away in Yi Zhou, the most southwestern corner of the Hao Dynasty, and the patriotic General Ding Yuan was still guarding Yi Zhou.
