Chapter 206: Guo Zhiping Waiting for a Price
Ye Tiemian was embarrassed by Ye Mingsheng's question. He hesitated for a moment before speaking:
"I have no idea·········"

Ye Mingsheng got the answer and didn't say much. He just nodded and ordered:

"Several of He Jingyun's men will be assigned to the team. You should arrange a few of your own people who you trust to keep an eye on them and make sure they don't get discovered."

"Got it, Master!" Ye Tie nodded and replied:
After seeing Ye Tie off, Ye Mingsheng finished a day's work and lay down on the bed tiredly. However, he couldn't sleep at all as he was full of things on his mind.

Ye Tie didn't know whether Guo Zhiping could succeed.

But he knew he could!

According to the information provided by Luo Dabao, although the nominal leader of Jiukongya Village is still Guo Zhanshan, the person with actual power has become Guo Zhiping.

In addition, Guo Zhiping is also a very opinionated person. When he put forward some opinions in the mountain village, he was opposed by some elders, but these opinions were all firmly implemented by Guo Zhiping without exception!
Therefore, as long as Guo Zhiping is willing, he can completely ignore the opinions of the elders and come to join him!
Based on this, Ye Mingsheng judged that Guo Zhiping might really want to join him.

But he is doing this now, using this as an excuse to appease Ye Tie, most likely to use Ye Tie's words to test Ye Tie's reaction.

If I lose my temper and go find him, he will have the chips in his hand and wait for the price to rise!
Although Ye Mingsheng could pay a higher price for the thousand men under Guo Zhiping and the three hundred cavalrymen, the other party did have the capital and it was worth his heavy bet.

But considering that he was being led by the nose from the very beginning, how should he control Guo Zhiping and make him work for him?
Ye Mingsheng was somewhat unwilling to let Guo Zhiping succeed so easily...

After thinking for a while, Ye Mingsheng sat up from the bed.

Since Guo Zhiping is interested in joining me, I naturally have to respond and not ignore him.

The treatment you deserve should not be reduced.

However, in order to prevent Guo Zhiping from making exorbitant demands and bringing the negotiations to a deadlock, I have to be prepared for both situations and be strong in both!

Thinking of this, a gleam of light flashed in Ye Mingsheng's eyes. The next second, he gently patted the bed. Soon, Ye Kui, who was on duty tonight, walked in.

"Master, what are your orders?"

"Has Xing Dalin's spy in Fengshan County been discovered?" Ye Mingsheng asked in a deep voice:

"Have you discovered it? As long as you give the order, we can take him down!" Ye Kui nodded and said confidently:
"Very good! You must find out where this person is, but don't touch him. You must not touch him! I have a great use for him!" Ye Mingsheng patiently said:

Although he didn't know what Ye Mingsheng was up to, seeing how serious Ye Mingsheng was, Ye Kui didn't dare to be careless and bowed his hands and said:
"I will follow the Master's orders!"

After explaining things to Ye Kui, Ye Mingsheng, who was no longer sleepy, put on his clothes and walked towards Pei Zhixiu's room.

···············
···············
After a while, in Pei Zhixiu's boudoir

“Call me husband!” “Husband…”

Although she didn't know what "husband" meant, Pei Zhixiu, who was under control at the moment, could only follow Ye Mingsheng's wishes and said those two words shyly.

"Is my husband awesome?"

“The worst...”

After struggling for half an hour, Ye Mingsheng, who was full of thoughts, finally let Pei Zhixiu go. He leaned back on the quilt, quietly enjoying his sage time.

Pei Zhixiu, who was sweating profusely, leaned on his shoulder like a little bird, recovering the strength consumed in the previous battle.

Looking at Pei Zhixiu's dressing table, there was only one jade bracelet that he gave her when he was in the palace to thank her for saving his life. Ye Mingsheng felt a little guilty and said immediately:
"Tomorrow I will go to the cloth shop with you, buy some good cloth, make some nice clothes, and then go to the gold shop to make some jewelry!"

Although he had spent a lot of money on recruiting soldiers, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. A few pieces of clothes and jewelry were just a drop in the bucket for Ye Mingsheng.

Pei Zhixiu shook her head at Ye Mingsheng's kindness, got closer to Ye Mingsheng, and whispered in Ye Mingsheng's ear:

"No, I don't really like those things. I'm fine the way I am now. The pieces of silk you asked Ye Dong to send over are still in the closet."

"Whether you use it or not is your business, and whether I buy it or not is my business. Those things are pleasing to the eye even if they are just left there even if they are not used!" Ye Mingsheng said with a smile.

Feeling the arrogance in Ye Mingsheng's words, Pei Zhixiu shook her head, but didn't say anything else.

After staying with Ye Mingsheng for such a long time, she has discovered that although Ye Mingsheng looks amiable and easy to talk to, once he makes a decision, it is difficult for others to change it.

After talking about some intimate things between lovers, just when Pei Zhixiu was about to fall asleep due to sleepiness, Ye Mingsheng beside her said lightly:
"Jisu, I heard people say that although the art of medicine and the art of poison making seem to be completely opposite, one saves people and the other harms people, there are many intricate connections between the two..."

Although Ye Mingsheng's voice was neither hurried nor slow, it seemed as if he was saying those sweet words just now, like "You are my sweetheart."

But after hearing this, Pei Zhixiu was no longer sleepy. She didn't know what Ye Mingsheng meant. Her beautiful eyes flickered for a moment, and she chose to answer truthfully;
“The two do have a lot in common!”

Ye Mingsheng was silent for a while after hearing this. Just when Pei Zhixiu was a little confused about what Ye Mingsheng wanted to do, Ye Mingsheng suddenly turned around, looked into Pei Zhixiu's eyes, and said in a deep voice:

"In that case, Ji-soo, can you make it?"

Ye Mingsheng's voice was not loud, but it did make Pei Zhixiu's heart sink. Under Ye Mingsheng's gaze, she hesitated for a while and said;
"I have never done this before, but if necessary, I can give it a try. However, the effects of different poisons are different. Some can kill instantly, while others need time to accumulate..."
