Qiu Feishan naturally knew that Pang Xiao was not easy to get along with, but she still felt a little embarrassed when she said those sarcastic words so straightforwardly.
Qiu Feishan suppressed the unhappiness in her heart and said, "Wang Ye is really busy, how can you forget such an important matter. It doesn't matter if it's not important, let's forget about what we did in the past for the time being, we're here for the future. "
Several people were silent. In such an awkward atmosphere, Mu Jinghu even wanted to directly block Qiu Feishan's mouth and throw her out.
Qiu Feishan did not care at all and continued, "Now that Lu Heng has colluded with the Tatan to attack Da Zhou, Huichuan County is so close to the capital. If it falls, I'm afraid that the capital will not be able to react in time. At that time, won't the people be in a terrible situation?
"Although Duke Dingguo is a fierce general and has the experience of defeating the Tatan, he was well prepared at that time, and the situation is far from comparable to the current situation."
Pang Xiao was not moved at all and asked with a faint expression, "If you have something to say, just say it, why beat around the bush?"
Qiu Feishan did not care about his attitude and smiled slightly, "Well, in that case, I'll just say it. Regardless of other things, the cooperation between Wang Ye and I in the past can be said to be pleasant. I hope to continue to cooperate with Wang Ye. As long as Wang Ye is willing to agree to go to war, expel the Tatan, and eliminate Lu Heng, then I'm willing to privately make up for the military provisions that the Imperial Court can't provide. "
At this point, Qiu Feishan stood up, her voice was full of loyalty, and her tone was very passionate, "The Imperial Court can't take out the money for disaster relief, let alone the money to repel the Tatan. When the people are in danger, what do they hope for the most? If Wang Ye descends at this time and removes the foreign threat, not to mention other things, the reputation of the God of War Wang Ye will be even greater than before! "
Taking a few steps closer, Qiu Feishan cupped her hands. "I know that Wang Ye is a great hero with a shrewd mind, so he naturally understands what to say at what time. This is killing two birds with one stone. This is a win-win situation for both of us. What reason does Wang Ye have to refuse? "
Mu Jinghu clenched his fists behind his back so tightly that his knuckles cracked. This unscrupulous woman who took advantage of the national crisis to negotiate with Pang Xiao was actually his son's mother! Mu Jinghu wished he could strangle her to death!
Qiu Feishan confidently waited for Pang Xiao's reply. She believed that with Pang Xiao's intelligence, he would know when to do what, and he would never give up this excellent opportunity to perform.
When Pang Xiao's mocking smile hung on her lips, Qiu Feishan was stunned for a moment.
"Boss Qiu's plan is good." Pang Xiao's voice was casual, but the words he said were not friendly. "Let me put it this way. Even if This King has to go to war in the future to quell the Tatan rebellion, that is because This King wants to go. It has nothing to do with you, and there is no cooperation between us. If there is not enough money, the imperial court will arrange it. This King does not need Boss Qiu's help. "
Qiu Feishan was stunned. She had been full of confidence since she entered the door, and she finally understood the situation. Pang Xiao was not a person who would be manipulated by others. She knew how tough he was, but she did not expect that Pang Xiao would refuse to cooperate with her at this juncture!
"Wang Ye, please think about it carefully. The current situation is really too unfavorable for the people. If you delay any longer, once the Tatan breaks through Huichuan, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
"You care about the people?" Pang Xiao's mocking tone was even more obvious. "How can a person who cares about the world and has a sense of justice not care about the hatred of killing his own grandfather? As far as I know, your grandfather held you in the palm of his hand and carefully raised you. The person who killed your grandfather was Qiu Yuanqing. Now you are still standing on the same side as Qiu Yuanqing. This King really can't see through Boss Qiu's actions. "
"But these are not important. This King also doesn't want to see through it. This King is a boorish man. If he can't see through some things, then there is no need to force himself. People who walk different paths cannot make plans together. Boss Qiu, you don't have to bother to persuade This King. "
Mu Jinghu stood at the side. When he heard Pang Xiao's words, his face was already red with shame for Qiu Feishan. He was obviously ashamed of Qiu Feishan's actions.
Qiu Feishan gradually regained her composure after being stunned for a while. He didn't mind Pang Xiao's mockery at all. His words were like a slap to the face. Instead, he said, "Prince Zhong Shun is a smart man. Think about it. If you agree to cooperate with me now, you will be able to receive support in terms of provisions after you deploy your troops. But if you don't agree, you may still have to go to war in the future. At that time, do you expect Your Majesty to give you food? "
On the surface, these words seemed to be facts and reasoning, but in fact, it was an obvious threat.
Mu Jinghu had said before that the Qiu Family and the Lu Family had gradually completed the transformation after the Lu Family's failure. Now that the Qiu Family had become a prominent family, the people buried in the court for many years could finally be used. In addition, Qiu Feishan made use of the Qiu Family's financial resources and connections. If she wanted to influence anything in the court, there were many people who could help her.
If Pang Xiao didn't agree to cooperate with Qiu Feishan now, she had the ability to make Pang Xiao still have to go to war! At that time, it was very likely that the court wouldn't be able to take out the money.
If he didn't agree to cooperate, it would lead to an even more embarrassing ending!
"Enough!" Without waiting for Pang Xiao to speak, Mu Jinghu couldn't bear it anymore and said angrily, "Don't you think you've embarrassed yourself enough!"
Qiu Feishan was immediately stunned by Mu Jinghu's roar and looked at Mu Jinghu blankly, "You …"
"How could I marry a woman like you! Your heart is full of benefits, and you can use anyone you see. Is this marriage between you and me also something you can use as you wish? "
"How can you say that?" Qiu Feishan finally lost her composure and said anxiously, "You and I are husband and wife, when have I ever harmed you? Think carefully, have I ever done anything harmful to you! Everything I did, I didn't involve you. I also said clearly just now, family matters are family matters, and important matters are important matters, how can you mix them up? No matter how much I did outside, I have never harmed you! "
"Enough! Please go back! "Mu Jinghu roared and stepped forward to grab Qiu Feishan's wrist and pushed her out.
Bi Ying quickly came to support Qiu Feishan and screamed angrily, "Son-in-law, what are you doing! Our Miss … "
"Shut up! What does it have to do with you! " Mu Jinghu shouted back unceremoniously and drove the two out together, "It's not enough for you to embarrass yourselves! Get lost! "
Qiu Feishan and Bi Ying staggered a few steps and stood firm with difficulty. Looking up at Mu Jinghu whose eyes were full of anger, Qiu Feishan's eyes were already filled with tears.
Qin Yining was worried that Mu Jinghu would not hold back in his anger and hurriedly asked someone to push Pang Xiao and bring everyone out.
Mu Jinghu said, "Go. Don't think of using us in the future. Whether it is Zhixi or me, we are not marionettes in your hands that you can manipulate at will. "
"I didn't, I …"
"I don't want to believe your words anymore." Mu Jinghu walked down the steps step by step, looked at Qiu Feishan's teary eyes and said mockingly, "Tell me, how much have you lied to me with this mouth of yours? How long have I been your accomplice? Aren't you afraid that Yan-ge will follow your example in the future? Who else can you tell the truth to? "
Qiu Feishan's tears flowed down.
Mu Jinghu's heart was filled with sorrow and his eyes were red. To avoid losing his composure, he turned and walked to the side courtyard.
Qiu Feishan looked at Pang Xiao and Qin Yining who were calm, opened her mouth and finally squeezed out a sentence, "Goodbye." Then she left quickly with Bi Ying.
Qin Yining frowned as he looked at Qiu Feishan's back and sighed, "What should we do, such a good couple …"
Pang Xiao also sighed. After all, Mu Jinghu was his brother. It was because he was involved in their affairs that the young couple ended up in such a situation. He really felt sorry in his heart.
Qin Yining and Pang Xiao returned to the bedroom, took off their coats, and the two were silent.
After a long time, Qin Yining said, "Zhixi, I don't think Qiu Feishan will let this go, maybe she will really use the power in her hands to persuade Your Majesty to order you to go to war."
Pang Xiao nodded, "I think so too, this woman may be sad because of Mu Tou's words, but in the end, won't she still do what she should do? She is a smart and cunning person, she must have a backup plan. "
Just as Pang Xiao and Qin Yining had guessed, in the Imperial Study, Li Qitian was sitting behind a desk in a black robe, looking down at the official who was kneeling in front of him.
The Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Fang Shouru, was already over fifty years old, but he was still strong and vigorous. When he replied, his voice was loud and clear, sonorous and forceful, "… Therefore, this official requests His Majesty's permission to use Prince Zhong Shun to temporarily set aside his previous mistakes. For the sake of the present plan, the most important thing is to expel the Tatars from our land. If Prince Zhongshun and Duke Dingbei can cooperate, and with the addition of the Tiger Army's power, the Tatan will definitely be defeated, and the trapped Dragon Legion will also be resolved. "
Currently, the Dragon Legion was still trapped. Fortunately, there were many of them, and they had been trained by Ji Zeyu. Furthermore, the Tatan's forces were also scattered, so they could barely hold on, and neither side could immediately defeat the other. However, in the long run, the losses of the Dragon Legion would only increase. Wouldn't that be heartbreaking?
Li Qitian rubbed his aching forehead.
In the past few days, more than one official had advised him to use Pang Xiao. Not only the old officials of Beiji, but even his direct subordinates also thought so.
He did not understand, why did everyone think of Pang Xiao when war was mentioned? Could it be that without Pang Xiao in this world, there would be no way to fight a war?
Seeing that Li Qitian did not immediately reply, Fang Shouru anxiously said, "Your Majesty, I …"
"That's enough," Li Qitian interrupted Fang Shouru, "You can leave first. I still need to think about it. "
Fang Shouru's words were stuck in his throat. He took a deep breath and finally calmed down. He lowered his head respectfully and kowtowed before leaving quietly.
Li Qitian did not speak for a long time, still sitting quietly behind the desk, as if he was thinking about the current situation.
