Chapter 2 Yan Sanniang

Although Gu Chudong is not very old, only seventeen years old, he has been traveling around the world with Gu Mo since he was seven years old. He is considered an old veteran in the world and is very vigilant. He hid the head very well, making it look no different from an ordinary bag.

Along the way, we didn't encounter any accidents while taking Gu Mo with us.

"Brother, why do I feel like you can see?"

"Why do you say that?" Gu Mo asked.

"You walk so steadily," Gu Chudong said. "Yesterday morning, we set out and walked for a whole day before reaching Dabao Mountain. But today, we returned from Dabao Mountain in less than two hours. I didn't even need to slow down."

Gu Mo smiled slightly and said, "I had an epiphany last night. My inner strength has improved a lot, and I can now adapt to the life of a blind man."

"Is that so?" Gu Chudong nodded and said, "That's great. But, brother, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to cure your eyes in the future."

"it is good."

Gu Mo smiled slightly. He was not too worried about this problem.

Now that he has the system, he is not too worried about not being able to cure his eyes. He plans to become a ghostwriter. First, he can earn money to hire famous doctors. This is a world where martial arts are very prosperous and glorious. As the saying goes, medicine and martial arts are inseparable, there is naturally no shortage of miracle doctors. There will always be a chance to find a doctor who can cure his eyes.

Second, even if he couldn't find anyone to treat his eyes, as long as he continued to hunt down wanted criminals, the system's rewards might one day include something that could heal his eyes.

"Brother, you look so beautiful when you smile."

"Then I'll smile more in the future."

"Well, I like to see you smile. Ever since your eye problem, you have been sullen, silent, and even grumpy. I am really scared."

"I will not do it again."

Gu Mo stretched out his hand and made a caressing gesture. Gu Chudong cooperated by tilting her head and rubbing it on Gu Mo's palm.

This is a habit that the two siblings have had since childhood.

Gu Mo is three years older than Gu Chudong. Ten years ago, their parents suddenly disappeared, leaving them to depend on each other. Gu Mo, who was only ten years old, began to embark on the journey of raising his sister and finding his parents.

Fortunately, both the brother and sister started learning martial arts with their parents when they were three or four years old. Although they were young, they had some ability to protect themselves. But they were still very young and suffered a lot. The brother and sister relied on each other's spiritual support to get through it.

And some time ago,
He couldn't bear the blow of blindness, his spirit was on the verge of collapse, his temper was changeable and irritable, and Gu Chudong's life was indeed very painful.

……

Linjiang City is the county seat of Linjiang County. It is very prosperous. Because of its geographical location at the confluence of several major rivers, it has become the commercial center of several surrounding counties.

However, trade is both the cause of success and the cause of failure. Trade has brought about rapid economic development, but it has also brought many problems. The most typical one is that more and more people from the underworld come here to pan for their fortune. Since ancient times, there has been a common problem of knights breaking the law with force. Therefore, the order in Linjiang City is relatively chaotic, and many evildoers like to come here to commit crimes.

Although the Six Gates of the imperial court tried their best to suppress it, they were always short of manpower. Therefore, the government had to resort to force to fight force, issuing a bounty order and asking people from the martial arts world to help. As a result, the number of ghostwriters in Linjiang County flourished.

To this end, the Six Gates specially set up a department to deal with ghostwriters.

Gu Chudong brought Gu Mo to the yamen and handed over the head of the flower thief Zhou Tong. It was soon verified and the reward of three hundred taels was received.

Three hundred taels of silver is a huge sum of money. In the past, when Gu Mo worked as a bodyguard at Changfeng Escort Agency, he could only earn about one hundred taels a year with his daring and fighting nature. After deducting various expenses, he would not have much money left at the end of the year.

Therefore, three hundred taels of silver was a huge sum of money for them.

Gu Chudong happily came out of the government office with silver in his pocket and suggested, "Brother, let's buy a carriage. It's inconvenient for you to walk, and you can't ride a horse, so a carriage is the best choice. It will only take about half a month to return home. Then, we can buy a small house. Well, there will be some money left over, and I can do some small business. After I have mastered martial arts, I can do big business and make a lot of money. Then I can cure your eyes. Then, I can marry a sister-in-law and bring her home. She will give birth to some big fat boys for you!"

Gu Mo shook his head slightly and said, "I don't want to go back."

"Ah?" Gu Chudong asked doubtfully, "If we don't go back, will we stay in Linjiang City?"

"Well, stay in Linjiang City." Gu Mo said.

Gu Chudong would never object to Gu Mo, and immediately said, "That's fine, but the housing prices in Linjiang City are very high. We can't buy a house with these three hundred taels, so we can only rent one. Business is not easy to do here either. I can find a martial arts school to be a martial arts master. Although the monthly salary is a little less, it's enough for us to live on, and I can also have time to practice martial arts properly."

Gu Mo smiled slightly and said, "I want to be the ghostwriter."

Gu Chudong hesitated for a moment and said, "That's fine. As long as you're happy, we can take on some simple bounty missions and make a living."

"Difficult tasks are not impossible."

"Brother, I can't beat you!"

"It's okay, I'll fight, and you'll be responsible for leading the way and picking up the heads."

Gu Chudong looked at Gu Mo's blindfolded eyes, wanting to say something but stopping herself. She really wanted to dispel Gu Mo's unrealistic idea, but she was worried about damaging Gu Mo's mentality. She didn't want Gu Mo's spirit, which he had finally recovered, to become decadent and collapse again.

Although Gu Mo told her that his internal strength had improved last night, she didn't think it could make up for the blindness.

"Okay, brother, I'll listen to you. Let's find an inn to stay in first, and I'll go look for a house later."

Gu Chudong thought to herself that since Gu Mo couldn't see and it was impossible for him to really go out and be a ghostwriter, there wouldn't be any danger. So she didn't debate with Gu Mo about the feasibility of being a ghostwriter.

The brother and sister were chatting while looking for an inn. When they passed by an alley,

Gu Mo suddenly stopped and said, "My two friends behind me have been following me all the way. If you have any advice, please come forward and tell me."

Gu Chudong's expression changed slightly, and he immediately grasped the hilt of the knife, making an attacking gesture.

Immediately, a female voice rang out from the alley: "Young Master Gu, Miss Gu, please don't misunderstand me, I mean no harm!"

Gu Mo couldn't see the person, he could only hear the voice. It was a very pleasant voice, but not a pleasant voice. Instead, it was a voice filled with inexplicable temptation. If the other person's appearance matched this voice, then she would definitely be a very charming woman.

In fact, just as Gu Mo guessed,
The woman who came out was indeed a very beautiful one, with a graceful figure. She was wearing a moon-white silk long dress that perfectly outlined her slender waist, which was so thin that it could be held in one hand, as if it could not be broken. Her every frown and smile was extremely charming.

Behind the woman followed a tall and straight young man with a serious face, dressed in black, holding a black long sword. He was one body length behind the woman, and seemed to be a guard.

"I am Yan Sanniang from Buer Villa." The woman bowed and saluted.

"It turns out to be Boss Yan from Gua Gu Dao. I've heard of you for a long time. I wonder if Boss Yan has any advice for me?" Gu Mo said with a bow.

Gu Mo has been traveling around Linjiang City for four years and is very familiar with the world of Linjiang County. He is also familiar with most of the famous people.

Yan Sanniang was a strange person, one of the few women who could make a name for herself in the martial arts world. She had a villa in Linjiang City that specialized in making wine. She was famous for her beauty, which made many men obsessed with her, but her style of doing things was ruthless, so she was nicknamed the Bone Scraping Knife in the martial arts world.

Hearing Yan Sanniang introduce herself,
Gu Chudong, who was already very vigilant, became even more vigilant, even to the point of being a little nervous.

Because she knew very well that no one who could make a name for himself in the world was simple.

Gu Mo is considered a rising star in the Linjiang County area. His swordsmanship is superb, but after all these years, he has not been able to make a resounding name for himself.

Yan Sanniang bowed and said, "Young Master Gu, Miss Gu, I was just at the government office and saw you two hand over the head of the flower thief Zhou Tong. I wanted to ask, are you two ready to be the ghostwriters? If so, we can cooperate."

Gu Mo chuckled and said, "Boss Yan, is he not planning to open a winery anymore and is going to switch to the Chasing Wind Tower?"

Yan Sanniang said, "Young Master Gu is right. Winery business is not doing well these days. I have indeed switched to the wind chasing business."

Zhuifenglou is an intermediary organization that specifically serves ghostwriters. Ghostwriters are very special. They are all people from the underworld, and most of them do not like to deal with the government. Some ghostwriters are even wanted criminals themselves, so they need someone to deal with the government on their behalf.

Another thing is that ghostwriters always work alone, and they lack intelligence when trying to catch wanted criminals, so their efficiency is very low. Sometimes they may miss the wanted criminals without even realizing it when they are in the same place with them.

In this situation, an organization like Zhuifenglou emerged to serve ghostwriters.

The ghostwriter is registered under the name of Zhuifenglou, and Zhuifenglou helps to negotiate prices with the government office and provide accurate intelligence. In addition, when facing powerful wanted criminals, Zhuifenglou can help contact other ghostwriters for cooperation.

Simply put, Zhuifenglou is an organization that tries to help ghostwriters complete bounty tasks faster and more easily. At the same time, it also helps ghostwriters raise the price as much as possible, and then after the task is completed, the bounty is split 50-50.

This model is a win-win cooperation for both Zhuifenglou and the ghostwriter.

Even though half of the bounty will be taken, the ghostwriter will definitely not lose out.

For example, the Zhou Tong that Gu Mo killed last night. If he had a powerful Zhuifeng Tower behind him, then even if half of the bounty was taken away, it would still be more than the 300 taels from the government office, because there would also be other wealthy families in the martial arts world or those who were harmed by Zhou Tong who would also have bounties, and these all needed to be inquired and negotiated by Zhuifeng Tower.

"I see," Gu Mo said, "But, Boss Yan, there are at least eight, if not ten, Chasing Wind Towers in Linjiang City right now. Why shouldn't I go to one of those established, long-established ones instead of your newly established one?"

Yan Sanniang said, "I naturally have my advantages. First, I have very few people working under my name, so I have a lot of connections. If Young Master Gu and Miss Gu were to work under my name, I would naturally do my best to provide you with intelligence. If you two go to those large-scale wind-chasing buildings, it will be difficult to get first-hand intelligence.

The second is that my commission is small, and I dare not break the industry rules. I will still split the profits 50-50 with the outside world. However, I will return 20% in other ways, such as giving gifts, and I only take 30%.

I wonder what Young Master Gu and Miss Gu think?"

Gu Mo nodded and said, "Okay, but I'm a little tired today. Please send someone to discuss this with me tomorrow with sincerity. Since Boss Yan is in the wind chasing business, it wouldn't be so difficult for me to find a place to stay, right?"

Yan Sanniang bowed and said, "See you tomorrow."

"Farewell."

Gu Mo bowed and left with Gu Chudong.

After watching Gu Mo and Gu Chudong leave, the young man in black standing behind Yan Sanniang asked, "Boss, is there any point in recruiting Gu Chudong, a little girl with a blind man as a burden? And Zhou Tong was obviously a lucky find for them. Everyone knows that Zhou Tong has been hunted for days and his strength is only one tenth of what it used to be."

Yan Sanniang shook her head slightly and said, "I didn't recruit Gu Chudong, but Gu Mo."

"A blind man."

"Yes, a blind man."

The young man in black laughed and said, "Boss, I'm afraid you've made a mistake this time. That blind man won't see tomorrow's sun."

"Why do you say that?"

The young man in black said, "A little girl and a blind man stole a fortune and got three hundred taels of silver. Now they have become the big loser. Three hundred taels is enough to buy several lives, let alone a little girl and a blind man."
