In the end, the two of them were politely escorted out by the servants of the Murong family, who flattered Xu Qingchen along the way. It seemed that the servants of the Murong family had already decided that Young Master Qingchen would be the future son-in-law of the Murong family. When they were far away from the Murong family, Ling Tiehan finally couldn't hold back his laughter. He then looked at Xu Qingchen and laughed loudly.
Xu Qingchen looked at him coldly and asked indifferently, "Is it very funny?" Ling Tiehan generously admitted, "It's not bad. After so many years … Young Master Qingchen has finally entertained me for once. " Young Master Qingchen had always been the one to laugh at other people's jokes. This time, it was finally others' turn to laugh at him. Being forced to marry into the family … If this news were to spread, who knew how many jaws would drop.
Xu Qingchen glanced at him, then turned and walked in the direction of the city. Ling Tiehan looked at his back and rubbed his chin. He threw his second sister and third brother to the back of his mind and followed him with a look of anticipation.
Xu Qingchen didn't know martial arts, so he could only walk slowly. Ling Tiehan followed beside him very easily. "Young Master Qingchen, have you thought of how to deal with the Murong family? Or are you really going to marry into the Murong family and become the richest person in the world? " Xu Qingchen stopped and looked at him thoughtfully. Tower Master Ling immediately floated back a few feet in vigilance, "What do you want to do? I can't beat that old monster of the Murong family. "
Xu Qingchen smiled, "Someone told me that as long as there's an expert on the same level as Tower Master Ling, it'll be enough to deal with Murong Xiong."
"Mo Xiuyao!" Ling Tiehan gritted his teeth and glanced at Xu Qingchen, "No problem, tell Mo Xiuyao to come himself. I also want to see if he has improved. Also, what benefits do I get from helping you deal with the Murong family? "Friends were friends, business was business. Dealing with the Murong family was a big matter, so he wouldn't do it without some benefits.
Xu Qingchen clasped his hands behind his back and said calmly, "Of course I won't disappoint you, Brother Ling. But … if we want to deal with the Murong family, it's not enough to have just you and me. We need a partner. "Ling Tiehan frowned and said in a deep voice," Lei Zhenting? " Ling Tiehan was able to become the head of the Yanwang Chamber of Commerce at such a young age and become one of the top four experts in Jianghu. Naturally, he wasn't stupid. Within Xiling's borders, it would be extremely difficult to deal with the Murong family, a behemoth that even the royal family feared, without official permission. "Lei Zhenting will cooperate with you? The enmity between him and Mo Liufang is known to the whole world. "
"There are no eternal friends in this world, and similarly, there are no eternal enemies. Lei Zhenting will come and find us himself. "Leaving these words behind, Young Master Qing Chen flew away. Only Ling Tiehan was left behind. He shook his head and sighed helplessly, "It seems like the Murong family's fate is already at its end. Otherwise, how could they have offended this god?"
"Prince." Jhennam Of Gojoseon looked at the competition on the stage with a solemn expression. Lei Tengfeng, who was sitting behind him, knew that his father's thoughts were no longer on the stage.
"How is it?" Jhennam Of Gojoseon asked the gold-robed guard in front of him. The gold-robed guard said in a low voice, "I just received news that the Murong family wants Young Master Qing Chen to marry into their family."
Jhennam Of Gojoseon was startled, but he soon sneered, "They're dreaming. What was Xu Qingchen's reaction?"
The gold-robed guard said, "Young Master Qing Chen didn't seem to agree. When he left just now, Young Master Qing Chen didn't look too good. At this time, he has already returned to the city. " Jhennam Of Gojoseon lowered his head and pondered for a long time. Lei Tengfeng said in a low voice, "Xu Qingchen became famous at such a young age and was born into a scholarly family. He must be proud and arrogant. It would be difficult for him to agree to such a proposal."
Jhennam Of Gojoseon frowned. He turned to look at Lei Tengfeng and asked, "Tengfeng, if you were Xu Qingchen, would you agree?" Lei Tengfeng thought for a moment, then nodded honestly and said, "In reply to Imperial Father, I would agree." Jhennam Of Gojoseon nodded and smiled, "What you said is the truth. Let's go back to the city!"
Standing up, Jhennam Of Gojoseon turned and walked out of the arena. Lei Tengfeng naturally followed immediately. Leng Liuyue, who was sitting to the side, saw the two people leave. She then looked at the seats in the front row that were mostly empty. She thought for a moment and said, "Third Brother, let's go too." Sickly Scholar naturally wouldn't refute Leng Liuyue's words. He nodded and also stood up to leave. Ren Qining, who was currently sparring in the arena, glanced at the empty seats below from the corner of his eye. A cold light flashed in his eyes and he flipped his sword to send his opponent off the arena. Standing on the arena, Ren Qining looked at the Murong family not far away from the arena.
Xu Qingchen bid farewell to Ling Tiehan and walked around the city before returning to the inn that he was temporarily staying at. As soon as he entered the room, he saw two people sitting in the room. Before Xu Qingchen could say anything, a few Shadow Guards pounced at him. Jhennam Of Gojoseon naturally didn't care about these Shadow Guards. With a cold laugh, he put down his teacup and casually struck out with his palm. The shadow guards clearly realized that they were not this person's opponent. Their figures intertwined, and in the time it took for a spark to fly off a flint, two of them entangled the Zhennan Wang, while the other two pounced towards Lei Tengfeng. At the same time, two more people appeared behind Xu Qingchen and stood in front of her.
"Stop." Xu Qingchen opened his mouth to stop them.
Before he finished speaking, the Shadow Guards had already stopped their attacks and retreated to the side with their bodies bowed. Jhennam Of Gojoseon clapped his hands and laughed, "Good, as expected of the Prince Ding Mansion's Shadow Guard. You really live up to your reputation. Young Master Qingchen, I hope that you will forgive me for taking the liberty of visiting. " Xu Qingchen walked out from behind the Shadow Guards and waved his hand, saying, "You may leave. Jhennam Of Gojoseon has no ill intentions."
"Your subordinates will take their leave." The Shadow Guards didn't delay and left after confirming Xu Qingchen's words.
Jhennam Of Gojoseon raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but look at this gentle and graceful Young Master Qingchen in a new light, "Oh? How can Young Master Qingchen be so sure that I have no ill intentions? "
Xu Qingchen laughed, "If Jhennam Of Gojoseon wanted to ambush me, you could have done it anywhere. Why wait in the inn?" Jhennam Of Gojoseon nodded and said, "That's right. I really envy Prince Ding. Not only does he have a wise person like Young Master Qingchen to assist him, but his subordinates are also well-trained. Originally, I wanted to sneak in quietly, but I didn't expect to be discovered. What's more, they were actually able to keep their composure. "
Xu Qingchen walked over to Jhennam Of Gojoseon and sat down. He took a celadon teacup and poured himself a cup of tea. He smiled and said, "Prince Ding, you flatter me."
Xu Qingchen smiled and looked at Jhennam Of Gojoseon and said, "I know why Jhennam Of Gojoseon is here. I have no interest in selling myself to anyone. "
Jhennam Of Gojoseon smiled strangely, "The Murong family's wealth is comparable to that of a country."
Xu Qingchen smiled indifferently, "Wealth comparable to that of a country is only useful if one knows how to use it. If a person only needs a hundred thousand taels to live the most extravagant life, then … what's the point of a million taels to him? " When silver reaches a certain level, it's just a number. "The South Protecting King narrowed his eyes and sized up Xu Qingchen." I don't understand what you mean. "
Xu Qingchen smiled and said, "With my current status, I am very short on money. Even a million or ten million wouldn't be too much. But with a different status, eight or ten thousand would be enough. "
Jhennam Of Gojoseon's eyes flashed and he cupped his hands, "Young Master is very talented. If I can't have someone like you to assist me, I will regret it for the rest of my life. Prince Ding is very fortunate. "Xu Qingchen's words were easy to understand. He was now an important person in the northwest and was in charge of the northwest's government. Naturally, the more money he had, the better. But Young Master Qingchen had no interest in money. Jhennam Of Gojoseon looked at him and said, "Young Master Qingchen doesn't seem surprised by I's visit. Or perhaps … Young Master Qingchen has been waiting for I to come?"
Xu Qingchen smiled faintly and said, "I just said a few words to Pavilion Master Ling. In this world, there are no eternal friends, nor are there eternal enemies. Now, I'll add, there are only eternal benefits. At least for now, you and I have the same goal, right? Or … does Jhennam Of Gojoseon think that I don't have the ability to control the Murong family? "
"There are no eternal friends, nor are there eternal enemies, only eternal benefits? Insightful! "Jhennam Of Gojoseon praised.
"I'm just copying the wisdom of others. I just happened to hear the Princess mention it and felt that it was appropriate. Isn't that right? "Xu Qingchen asked as he drank his tea.
"Princess Consort Ding ah … … Princess Consort Ding is indeed a rare woman. Since Young Master Qingchen has the confidence to control the Murong family, why do you want to cooperate with I? "Jhennam Of Gojoseon asked.
"A waste of time," Xu Qingchen said bluntly. Of course, he could take over the Murong family, but it would take ten days to half a month. It wouldn't be easy to accomplish in three to five years. But now, if Mo Xiuyao let Xu Qingchen go for so long for the Murong family, he would rather burn down all of the Murong family's properties. If Xu Qingchen left, who would take care of his official business and the people's livelihood?
Jhennam Of Gojoseon lowered his eyes and thought about Xu Qingchen's words. If he could, he would never cooperate with Xu Qingchen. Cooperation meant that he couldn't enjoy the benefits alone. Most of the Murong family's benefits were in Xiling and belonged to Xiling. But if he didn't agree, Jhennam Of Gojoseon didn't doubt that Xu Qingchen would find a way to sabotage him even if he didn't want to marry into the Murong family. Besides, there was still the Da Chu State. If he forced the Murong family to submit to the Da Chu State, the losses would outweigh the gains.
After a long time, Jhennam Of Gojoseon raised his head and asked, "What do you want, Young Master Qingchen?"
Xu Qingchen smiled in satisfaction. "All of the Murong family's properties in the northwest will belong to the Prince Ding Mansion. As for those in Xiling … I don't want much. Thirty percent will belong to the Prince Ding Mansion and one percent to the Yanwang Chamber of Commerce. "
Jhennam Of Gojoseon's face darkened. "Young Master Qingchen's appetite is a little too big." He asked for forty percent of the Murong family's properties. That was equivalent to twenty percent of the Xiling's properties. Xu Qingchen smiled faintly. "Jhennam Of Gojoseon means that Zhennan Palace can take down the Murong family alone? Or can Jhennam Of Gojoseon guarantee that the Da Chu State, Nanzhao, and Northern Tribes won't interfere? Although the Royal Family of the Northern Tribes didn't send anyone this time, but … we are now in Jhennam Of Gojoseon's territory. I don't believe that Jhennam Of Gojoseon doesn't know what the Northern Tribes are up to. Also, does Jhennam Of Gojoseon have the confidence to deal with Murong Xiong? "
