When Murong Fu returned to his residence, it was already ten o'clock in the evening, and he saw a graceful figure waiting in the courtyard, it was Huo Qingtong.
"Miss Huo is so happy. You are here to enjoy the scenery and your residence!" Murong Fu was stunned for a moment, then he said with a smile.
"Huh, I'm not as busy as Princess Murong, so I don't know what I'm busy with!" Huo Qingtong snorted, with unspeakable resentment in his tone.
She turned around and glanced at Murong Fu, then asked calmly: "Where's that snow deer?"
"Ahem!" Murong Fu looked a little unnatural, "I saw that it was pitiful, so I released it. I don't know who is in the hands of it now."
"Hmph, I wonder who Master Murong intends to let it fall into the hands of!" Huo Qingtong seemed to know something and said pointedly.
"How do I know this?" Murong Fu raised his eyebrows slightly, "I wonder what happened to Miss Huo?"
"You..." Huo Qingtong was at a loss for words. After a while, he calmed down slightly and said slowly: "My father said he would give him a few days to think about it!"
"How many days will you think about it?" Murong Fu frowned slightly and looked a little dissatisfied.
"You also know that what you said is too sensational. It will be difficult to convince my father with just your words!" Huo Qingtong gave Murong Fu a meaningful look, and the implication was that he still wanted to investigate.
Murong Fu curled his lips, "I don't care whether you believe it or not, I will only give you three days. If you can't give me a reply after three days, I will return to the Central Plains!"
"Are you leaving so soon?" Huo Qingtong's voice suddenly became louder, as if all she cared about was that Murong Fu would leave in three days.
"Don't worry, I won't abandon you!" Murong Fu laughed and said playfully.
"Bah!" Huo Qingtong spat, and hummed with a slightly red face: "You can leave if you want, who wants you... I want you not to abandon me!"
Murong Fu had a calm look on his face, and said in a half-joking, half-serious tone: "It's not up to you. If you don't come with me then, I will tie you up. Let's see what your wooden father can do."
What am I!"
"You are such a scoundrel!" Huo Qingtong glanced at Murong Fu in surprise and stamped his feet, "You are not allowed to say that about my father, you are just stupid!"
"I'm not kidding you!" Murong Fu's face suddenly became serious, "To be honest, you may not understand the current situation of your tribe. It is bordered by Tubo and Xixia to the south, and is surrounded by Mongolia on three sides: east, west, north and west. Mongolia's ambitions
Needless to say, Tubo and Xixia are also trying their best to expand their own strength. Once the war breaks out, they will be the first to take action. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are in danger."
Huo Qingtong glanced at Murong Fu in surprise. He usually saw him being cynical and not caring about anything, but he didn't expect that he, an outsider, knew so much about the current situation in the Huibu. His face immediately became stern and he recovered.
With his usual cold expression, "Since you know the situation of the Huibu, you should know that if the Huibu makes a wrong move now, it will be doomed. How can you make a hasty decision?"
"No!" Murong Fu shook his head, "You talk about being doomed, but your final bottom line is to negotiate peace with Mongolia and surrender!"
"You...how did you know!" Huo Qingtong's face could no longer remain calm.
Murong Fu avoided answering, "I can tell you clearly that Mongolia will not accept your surrender. I think you can guess some of the reasons."
"Indeed, Mongolia has great ambitions. If the war had begun, it would have been possible to accept the surrender of the returning troops. But now the hatred between the two sides is so deep that even if they accept the returning troops on the surface, they will treat the returning soldiers and civilians as cannon fodder!" Huo
Qingtong pondered for a long time, and finally nodded with a dejected expression.
"Cooperating with the Murong family now is your last chance. If there were no other reasons, I would not lie in this troubled water!" Murong Fu saw that his words had an effect, and he immediately returned to his true self, as if you had taken advantage of him.
He said with a cheap look.
Huo Qingtong couldn't help but give him a big look, but still asked curiously: "You said you can solve the hidden dangers in Mongolia, can you tell me first?"
Murong Fu had a calm expression on his face, but the thoughts in his mind began to spin rapidly. Now it seems that Mu Zhuolun should have left the decision-making power to Huo Qingtong, but this girl is more difficult to deal with than Mu Zhuolun...
After pondering for a long time, he finally decided to throw out something real, so he slowly said: "To solve the Mongolian problem, we can only start from two aspects. One is to strengthen yourselves. If I am not wrong, you can go back to the army to fight.
The most lacking thing is iron!"
Huo Qingtong's eyes brightened slightly and he nodded, "Yes, the cavalry returning to the headquarters is not weaker than the Mongolians at all, but due to iron restrictions, both arrows and weapons are seriously in short supply, and their combat effectiveness is greatly reduced."
"My Murong family controls several iron mines in the Central Plains. In this regard, I can trade some to you!" Murong Fu's voice rose slightly and he said something that made Huo Qingtong's heart beat faster.
I saw her blurting out: "As long as we can guarantee the supply of iron for the 400,000-strong army, no matter what you want, I can give it to you back at the headquarters!"
Murong Fu was dumbfounded for a moment, and then rolled his eyes at her, "You are so open-minded. An army of 400,000 people, even the entire Song Dynasty, only has an army of one million people. My Murong family is not really rich enough to rival other countries!"
Huo Qingtong didn't take it seriously at all. He covered his mouth and chuckled, "I just heard Master Murong speak so loudly, as if the Murong family is omnipotent. Why can't he fulfill such a small request?"
"Humph!" Murong Fudeng felt a little embarrassed, "This is not a question of whether it can be done, but whether you can afford such a high price when you return to the Ministry!"
Huo Qingtong's face froze slightly, and he was silent for a while, then suddenly asked: "What if we add the best treasure of the Hui Department?"
"What kind of Koran are you talking about?" Murong Fu was stunned at first, and then he remembered that the best treasure in the Huibu was probably the Koran that was regarded as a holy object.
Unexpectedly, Huo Qingtong suddenly became angry, "What are you talking about! The Koran is a holy relic of Huibu, how could I give it to you!"
"Huh?" Murong Fu looked suspicious, "Besides the Koran, what other treasures can the Hui tribe bring?"
"Humph, forget it!" Huo Qingtong seemed a little angry.
Murong Fu was a little confused when he came.
"You said just now that this is only the first one, but what about the second one?" Huo Qingtong's expression was also that of a dog, and it would change at a moment's notice. Just now, he still looked like a little daughter in a mood, and in the next moment he was talking to Murong Fu seriously about business.
.
"The second one!" Murong Fu paused, until Huo Qingtong couldn't help but said leisurely: "The second one is the Mongolian side, but this is related to the top secrets of the Murong family. If we can't reach cooperation,
I won’t tell you!”
"You!" Huo Qingtong was so angry that he clenched his teeth and stared at Murong Fu, wanting to go up and bite him twice.
"Okay, I have said what needs to be said. Go back and persuade your father. There are not many opportunities. If you miss it, it will be gone!" After Murong Fu finished speaking, he walked straight into the house.
Huo Qingtong stared at the door of Murong Fu's room for a long time with a gloomy expression, and finally sighed softly, turned around and left.
"Hmph, you are still too young to fight with me!" Murong Fu thought with some pride after seeing Huo Qingtong leaving.
I thought that after his threats, Mu Zhuolun would come to negotiate with him anxiously, but what surprised and surprised Murong Fu was that for three days in a row, no one came to greet him, even Huo Qingtong never came.
At noon that day, Murong Fu was walking around the house with his hands behind his back. He was secretly worried, but if he came to look for him at this time, it would be tantamount to lowering his price. What made him even more crazy was that, click
Liz has also disappeared in the past few days. After asking the servant, she found out that she was taken away by Huo Qingtong.
"It seems that I still overestimated my scheming and the city's power!" Murong Fu smiled bitterly, and after thinking about it, he decided to go and see if Carisi was back. After not seeing her for three days, I still missed this little girl. As for the negotiation,
, if Huo Qingtong had not responded by the next evening, he would take the next step.
Not long after, Murong Fu came to the outside of Carisi's courtyard. He suddenly paused and looked at the scene in front of him in stunned silence. He saw Huo Qingtong, Carisi and Chen Jialuo walking from a distance, talking and laughing.
What really made Murong Fu angry was that Huo Qingtong was walking alone in front, while Chen Jialuo and Karis were walking side by side behind. The two were only a few feet apart and seemed quite close. Chen Jialuo seemed to be talking about something interesting.
It made Carlisle giggle.
Murong Fu immediately raised his eyebrows, furious, and walked towards the three of them with a gloomy face.
Huo Qingtong saw Murong Fu first, with a half-smiling look on his face, full of the pleasure of revenge.
Then Carisi and Chen Jialuo also noticed Murong Fu. Chen Jialuo's face changed slightly, but Carisi shouted in surprise: "Brother Murong!"
"Mr. Murong..." Chen Jialuo was about to speak.
"Shut up!" Murong Fu interrupted him with a wave of his hand. He took Caris's hand and walked towards the small courtyard. An imperceptible voice came into Huo Qingtong's ears, "Look back.
I’ll deal with you again!”
Huo Qingtong watched the two men disappear, with an expression on his face that was both bitter and sour, and he was very sad.
"Miss Huo, what are they..." Chen Jialuo couldn't help but feel a little anxious when he saw Murong Fu being so rude. He turned back to look at Huo Qingtong, but saw that the corners of her eyes were wet. He couldn't help but froze on the spot and could no longer speak.
.
Murong Fu pulled Caris into the small courtyard without saying a word.
Caris saw Murong Fu's face turned dark. Although she didn't know why, she didn't dare to say anything. She just had a wronged expression on her face.
"Brother Murong, are you unhappy?" After a moment of silence, Karis finally asked.
Murong Fu glared at her angrily, "How can I be happy if you hang out with other men?"
"Ah!" Karis exclaimed softly, "Can't I go out with Brother Chen?"
"Don't call him 'Brother Chen'!" Murong Fu reached out and flicked Carisi's nose.
