The knock is very soft and rhythmic, and it can be inferred from the knock that the person has an excellent upbringing.

Su Xiaoxiao and Mu Qiuhuang glanced at each other, and their hearts finally came.

Taking advantage of Su Xiaoxiao's efforts to open the door, Mu Qiuhuang changed his sitting posture, but still did not get up to greet him.

Just when Mu Qiuhuang changed a posture, Su Xiaoxiao had already welcomed the person in.

There is no need for Su Xiaoxiao to introduce it, both sides already know each other's identities, in fact, before this meeting, both sides have already investigated each other clearly, and the ultimate purpose of the two coming to Qinglou this time is also for each other.

The two looked at each other very tacitly and smiled at the same time.

"Young Master Liu, please take a seat."

"Thank you, Master Mu."

If you just look at Mu Qiuhuang and Liu Yiyong's words and expressions, you will have an illusion, and the two are not like meeting for the first time, but like old friends who have known each other for a long time.

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at Mu Qiuhuang after seeing Liu Yiyong fall off the seat opposite Mu Qiuhuang, and after getting Mu Qiuhuang's eyes, he said to the two: "Xiaoxiao, let someone send some fruit and tea again." ”

When Liu Yiyong heard this, he gestured to Su Xiaoxiao, and said softly: "There is Miss Laosu." ”

Su Xiaoxiao smiled at Liu Yiyong without saying a word, and went straight out of the room, not forgetting to close the door for the two.

After Su Xiaoxiao went out, both of them looked at each other with smiles on their faces, and the strange thing was that neither of them had any intention of speaking.

……

What Mu Qiuhuang didn't expect was the face of this fourth son of Liu. Before meeting Liu Yiyong, Mu Qiuhuang had seen a total of four sons of the Liu family, and none of the four sons of the Liu family had ever looked like this. Liu Yiyong ranks fourth in the Haihun Marquis Mansion, but if you look at it alone, it is said that he is ranked big, but some people believe that all this stems from Liu Yiyong's appearance of a young man, if you talk about the real age Liu Yiyong is three years younger than the second son Liu Yilian, but if you compare the faces of the two, Liu Yiyong is more than ten years older than Liu Yilian...... After seeing Liu Yiyong's face, Mu Qiuhuang also understood why Liu Yiyong was so cautious before? I couldn't help but pop up the words "face is born from the heart" in my mind. Mu Qiuhuang remembered that in order to gain Liu Yiyong's trust, he actually cheated the eighth child, and put his meeting with the second Liu Yilian in the open and let this Liu Yiyong watch in the dark...... It will be a little unhappy, but at this time, the unhappiness in his heart has disappeared, and even Mu Qiuhuang actually has a feeling that if Liu Yiyong didn't do that at the beginning, he was afraid that he would be really unhappy.

……

Mu Qiuhuang and Liu Yiyong looked at each other for a long time, waiting for the other party to speak first, but the two of them waited for almost a cup of tea to pass, and they didn't wait for the other party to speak first, but their eyes rotated on each other countless times, as if they were making eye contact...... After another big cup of tea, Mu Qiuhuang finally made a move, but he was not ready to speak, but picked up the tea on the table in front of him.

Mu Qiuhuang took a sip of the teacup, although the tea was already cold and the taste was not good, but Mu Qiuhuang still savored it like drinking ganlin.

Liu Yiyong saw Mu Qiuhuang holding up the tea cup, and was about to follow his example, but when he looked down, he saw that there was no tea cup of his own on the table, and the tea on the table in front of him was also the leftover tea that Su Xiaoxiao had just drunk...... Seeing this, the smile on Liu Yiyong's face paused, and then became self-deprecating.

This Liu Yiyong is not blaming Mu Qiuhuang for not preparing tea for him, but mocking his current situation.

Now the situation in the Haihun Marquis Mansion can be summed up in one sentence, that is: the situation is stronger than people.

Su Xiaoxiao once said before that the second son, Liu Yilian, is the most likely to inherit the position of Marquis of Haihun, because he is older than everyone else, his uncle holds military power, and he is the most powerful when he meets in battle; Liu Yifeng, the eighth prince, is very good at things, and he has captured the minds of a large group of civil servants and controlled the trend of public opinion...... Speaking of which, only this fourth prince is neither civil nor military. Although Mu Qiuhuang directly eliminated the eighth prince Liu Yifeng for him as an outsider, even if he was the only one left, he had no advantage compared with the second son Liu Yilian, just because the military line of the Marquis of Haihun Mansion stood behind the second son, and now the great troubled world is coming, that is to say, whoever has the army has the right to speak. Let's not talk about when will the general trend of the world change? As far as the current internal situation of the Haihun Marquis Mansion is concerned, it is also destined to finally decide the ownership of the position of the Haihun Marquis by force...... Therefore, Liu Yiyong is now in urgent need of foreign aid, and this foreign aid is not easy to find. First of all, the foreign aid he is looking for must have strong enough strength to help him reverse the defeat, after all, ordinary people with insufficient strength do not dare to take the risk of offending the future "Haihun Hou" to make this kind of investment. Secondly, he also has to ensure the reliability of this strong enough foreign aid, which can be relied on at critical moments...... However, when it comes to this place, it has turned to the beginning, even if this kind of foreign aid really appears, it will choose to support the eighth Liu Yifeng instead of choosing him, the reason has also been said before, the eighth controls public opinion, there is a certain foundation, and it is more labor-saving to support the eight; The eighth also has a lot of bad tails, which is easier to control.

In the face of such harsh conditions, Mu Qiuhuang is fully compliant. First, he is the son of Beiyu, so if no major changes occur, he will naturally inherit the position of the Marquis of Beiyu and have an army of 300,000 tigers and wolves in Beiyu. This is in line with the first rule: foreign aid must have strong strength. Second, Mu Qiuhuang lit the Biliu boat on the Bahe River to send him a firework, which is equivalent to digging a big pit and erecting a big stone on the way forward of the eighth Liu Yifeng. At the same time, it also shows Mu Qiuhuang's reliability, Mu Qiuhuang is tantamount to announcing that he can't choose the eighth child. As for the second child? It doesn't make much sense to choose or not...... Because, the second child does not need foreign aid.

Therefore, at this time, it was Liu Yiyong who asked for Mu Qiuhuang, not Mu Qiuhuang who asked for Liu Yiyong. If it is said that Mu Qiuhuang, a powerful foreign aid, is lost, then Liu Yiyong's current strength alone will definitely not be able to get that position. Mu Qiuhuang is different, for him, this matter is nothing more than an investment.

……

……

Liu Yiyong restrained his smile, and said to Mu Qiuhuang with a serious face: "Mu Gongzi, since you and I can get together here today, you and I must have reached a preliminary consensus in some places, and in this case, Liu will no longer hide and go straight to the point." ”

When Mu Qiuhuang heard this, he smiled unabated, but his eyebrows and eyes showed real joy, and he gently put down the teacup and said to Liu Yiyong: "Straight to the point? I like this, in fact, I am also a person who likes to get straight to the point in my heart, so if Liu Gongzi has any thoughts in his heart, it doesn't hurt to say it bluntly. ”

"In that case, I'll get it straight."

Liu Yiyong looked at Mu Qiuhuang and asked calmly, "How will Mu Gongzi help me?" What do you want from me in return? ”

Mu Qiuhuang looked at Liu Yiyong and found that he was asking this question very seriously, and he was very satisfied with his attitude in his heart, and said directly to him: "You ask me how to help you?" Then I will tell you, I am a very generous person to my friends, since I have decided to help you, it is natural to ask for money to give money to others...... All in all, whatever you need, as long as I can give it, I can promise you unconditionally. ”

Liu Yiyong was not overjoyed when he heard this, but frowned slightly, glanced at Mu Qiuhuang deeply and said: "I hope Mu Gongzi can understand a little, I am just cooperating with Mu Gongzi, not to take refuge in Mu Gongzi, although I Liu Yiyong is not talented, but I will not be a marionette for a Hou Ye position, and if I really do this, I am afraid that I will not be worthy of sitting in that position again." ”

Mu Qiuhuang laughed when he heard this: "Liu Gongzi is frank enough, but I think Liu Gongzi has misunderstood, even if I am arrogant, I dare not say that I have the idea of manipulating the Haihun Marquis Mansion and letting the Haihun Marquis be a puppet for me." ”

Liu Yiyong looked at Mu Qiuhuang with a puzzled expression, was silent for a while, and asked slowly: "Then what kind of reward does Mu Gongzi want to get from me?" ”

Mu Qiuhuang spread his hands and said, "This is not in a hurry, wait until you sit in the position you want to sit." ”

"Mu Gongzi should make conditions first! I still like to put everything up front. Liu Yiyong continued.

"That's it! Then I'll have to think about it. ”

Mu Qiuhuang muttered to himself, stared at Liu Yiyong's eyes, and did not answer immediately, but grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the plate and began to knock the melon seeds.

The crisp cracking sound of the melon seed shell sounded in the ears of the two.

Liu Yiyong didn't say anything when he saw this, just looked at Mu Qiuhuang quietly, waiting for his answer.

Soon, Mu Qiuhuang finished knocking the melon seeds in his hand, and reached out to grab a handful on the plate, but this time he only knocked three grains and stopped, Mu Qiuhuang threw the remaining melon seeds in his hand back into the plate, picked up the towel on the table and wiped his hands, picked up the teacup and rinsed his mouth, and then said loudly: "When Liu Ergongzi asked me what I wanted in return, I told him that I didn't want to return. ”

Liu Yiyong smiled and said, "So, you lied to him." ”

Mu Qiuhuang raised his eyebrows when he heard this, thought for a while and said, "If I don't make Liu Gongzi feel scared if I don't open conditions?" Then I'll open one! My request is that if one day in the future I need Liu Gongzi's help, I hope that Liu Gongzi can also give me unconditional support as I do to you today. ”

Liu Yiyong looked at Mu Qiuhuang in surprise when he heard this, and after confirming that Mu Qiuhuang was not joking, he said leisurely: "Even if I promise you now, but if there is really one day in the future, if I violate today's agreement again, what should you do?" ”

Mu Qiuhuang laughed when he heard this: "Based on your words alone, I can conclude that you are a gentleman, aren't gentlemen all good at their word?" ”

Liu Yiyong also laughed at this time: "Okay, a word is a certainty!" ”
