In a courtyard in Border City.
A group of people from the Gongshu family was resting inside. However, at this moment, all of them looked a little dispirited.
At this moment, the gate of the courtyard was slowly pushed open by two soldiers guarding the gate. Jiang Ning, wearing a black general's armor, stepped in.
Seeing Jiang Ning arrive, everyone from the Gongshu family looked at him with some respect.
Arriving at the center of the courtyard, Jiang Ning looked at one of the Gongshu family members and said,"Where's your clan leader?"
"The Patriarch is resting in his room. If General needs it, this subordinate will call the Patriarch over.”The Gongshu family member said respectfully.
"No need."
Reaching out to stop the Gongshu family member from taking a step forward, Jiang Ning said,"Tell me the room of your clan leader and I will go to find him alone.”
"Yes, sir!"
After bowing, the Gongshu family member extended his hand and gestured to Gongshu Chou's room.
Jiang Ning nodded and walked towards Gongshu Chou's room.
Halfway there, Jiang Ning stopped and turned around to look at the Gongshu family members behind him.
"I have something important to discuss with your Gongshu clan. I hope that no one will come to disturb me and the Gongshu clan leader during this period of time, understand?”
After saying that, Jiang Ning ignored the Gongshu clansmen and walked towards Gongshu Chou's room.
The Gongshu family members watched Jiang Ning slowly walk away with reverence.
When he entered Gongshu Chou's room, he saw Gongshu Chou kneeling in front of the table with a calm expression. He was sipping a cup of tea in his hand.
Seeing this, Jiang Ning's eyes narrowed, and then she smiled,"Oh, I thought that Old Master Gongshu would be restless in Border City, but I didn't expect him to be so free.”
Smiling faintly, Gongshu Chou said in a hoarse voice,""This old man expected that the general would come to find this old man, so I have been waiting here.”
Hearing Gongshu Chou's words, Jiang Ning looked at him deeply and said,"Actually, I don't like people who are too smart.”
As she spoke, Jiang Ning lifted the hem of her clothes and knelt opposite Gongshu Chou under Gongshu Chou's shocked gaze.
Picking up another cup of tea that was placed opposite Gongshu Chou, Jiang Ning took a sip.
"The tea is good tea, but the person who brewed it is clearly a little restless.”
As she spoke, Jiang Ning stared at Gongshu Chou." Old Mister Gongshu, what exactly made you so uneasy?"”
"This…"
Gongshu Chou hesitated.
However, when he saw Jiang Ning's cold gaze, his body quivered and he said helplessly,""My Gongshu family has agreed to submit to you, but why are there so many Qin soldiers guarding the outside?”
Jiang Ning took a deep look at Gongshu Chou and asked instead of answering,"If I say that I'm only worried about the safety of your Gongshu family, would you believe me?"”
"This…"
Gongshu Chou did not say anything, but judging from his expression, he naturally did not believe it at all.
"Mr. Gongshu, this is just a guarantee to maintain our cooperative relationship.”
Jiang Ning's expression turned serious," You and I are both smart people. You should know that I won't trust you just because of your promise. Any kind of mutual assistance needs to be tied up with benefits. Obviously, I don't have the benefits to tie you up yet.”
"Hey."
Gongshu Chou sighed helplessly.
Indeed, when he submitted to Jiangning previously, he had a hint of being forced by Jiangning.
He had regretted it after that. He had indeed thought of taking his family to escape from the border city and go to Xianyang to continue his dream of soaring to the sky.
However, when they moved into the courtyard arranged by Jiang Ning's subordinates, they found themselves surrounded by a group of Qin soldiers.
This made Gongshu Chou feel helpless.
Seeing Jiang Ning today, Gongshu Chou felt a little uneasy.
Looking at Jiang Ning, Gongshu Chou smiled bitterly." Sigh, if it's as you said, I should be grateful to you for imprisoning me?”
Pursing her lips slightly, Jiang Ning took out a blueprint and handed it to Gongshu Chou." If Old Mister Gongshu sees this blueprint, I'm afraid that even if I chase your Gongshu family away today, you won't leave.”
Hearing Jiang Ning's words, Gongshu Chou's eyes narrowed.
Gongshu Chou took the blueprint from Jiang Ning's hand with a surprised expression and sized it up.
Jiang Ning, on the other hand, had a calm expression on her face as she drank by herself.
What Jiang Ning handed to Gongshu Chou was naturally the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow blueprint rewarded by the system.
He did not believe that Gongshu Chou, who was deeply obsessed with this, would not know the value of this blueprint.
Looking at the blueprint of the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow that Jiang Ning handed to him, Gongshu Chou's expression became more and more surprised.
In the end, when Gongshu Chou finished reading the blueprint, his face was filled with shock.
At this moment, Gongshu Chou's expression was a little dazed as he muttered,"What an excellent mechanism technique this is. It actually makes my eyes light up!”
As he spoke, Gongshu Chou's gaze became extremely passionate. He looked at Jiang Ning and said anxiously,"General, who is the master who made this map? Can I meet him and ask for advice?”
Putting down the teacup, Jiang Ning looked at Gongshu Chou leisurely," Old Mister Gongshu, this blueprint was given to me by an old friend of mine. However, that old friend has passed away for a long time, so I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to fulfill your wish.”
Hearing Jiang Ning's words, Gongshu Chou revealed a disappointed expression.
"It's a pity that a person with such powerful mechanisms has left this world and I haven't been able to learn from him in this life.”
As he spoke, Gongshu Chou sighed heavily with a desolate expression.
After a long while, Jiang Ning looked at the sighing Gongshu Chou and said,""Old Mister Gongshu, in that case, are you willing to stay here and serve me?”
"Um…"
After pondering for a while, Gongshu Chou stared at Jiang Ning." General, I've memorized the blueprint of this crossbow. Aren't you afraid that I'll take this blueprint and escape?”
"Hahaha!"
Laughing loudly, Jiang Ning suddenly stood up and stared at Gongshu Chou with burning eyes. He said word by word,""Do you think that my old friend only left this blueprint behind? I believe that no one will enter a treasure mountain and return empty-handed!”
After saying that, Jiang Ning ignored Gongshu Chou's shocked expression and turned around to leave.
