All the conscripts, their relatives, friends, and escorts were gathered at the Mingjian Villa Hotel. Mingjian Villa does weapons business with the imperial court, and the hotel often has to receive high-ranking officials and dignitaries of the imperial court, and the grade is very high, no less than any high-end inn in Youzhou City. Xu Qing had to recuperate his spirit in the evening to cope with the competition tomorrow morning, and he also stayed at the Mingjian Villa Hotel, and did not return to the Yanshan base.

Xu Qing was meditating and practicing when someone suddenly knocked on the door.

Xu Qing had to stop his work, opened the door, and saw that the person who came was the third beauty in the rivers and lakes who was three points more beautiful than the Dong sisters and Mei Kaifang, Li Yuerong, the daughter of Li Tianxiong, the owner of Yangzhou Fuyun Villa, and Li Linfeng's sister who passed the seventh level of Dong Bijun's recruitment conference, Xu Qing was very surprised. Three months ago, Li Yuerong cut Xu Qing's muscles and cut off his pulse, leaving Xu Qing with a bad impression that he will never forget.

Without waiting for Xu Qing to ask, Li Yuerong's face turned red, and she lightly opened her lips and said, "I'm here to talk to you about a deal, if you're interested, invite me into the house, let's talk slowly in the house, if you're not interested, forget it." ”

Xu Qing said: "Please come in." ”

After Li Yuerong entered the house, Xu Qing closed the door, invited Li Yuerong to sit down, and personally poured Li Yuerong a cup of tea. Xu Qing responded, but rarely poured tea for people.

Li Yuerong said: "Thank you." After a pause, he continued: "Which one do you think is more beautiful, me or the second miss of the Dong family?" Xu Qing said coldly: "Why are you asking this?" Does it matter to me whether you are beautiful or not? ”

Li Yuerong said: "Of course it matters, otherwise I wouldn't have asked you." Please tell me honestly, which do you think is more beautiful, me or Miss Dong Er? ”

Xu Qing looked at Li Yuerong carefully and said, "The eyes of the masses are bright. You're ranked above Mei Kaifang. Mei Kaifang is the fourth beauty in the rivers and lakes, and you are the third beauty in the rivers and lakes. Although Miss Dong Er is also a stunning beauty, she is slightly inferior to Mei Kaifang, and your beauty is three points better than Mei Kaifang. ”

Li Yuerong was not surprised or happy, and said calmly: "So you think my beauty is better than Miss Dong Er?" ”

"Yes, I can't say anything against my will in your presence. But I don't understand what you are competing with Miss Dong Er? "The second monk Xu Qingzhang was confused.

Li Yuerong said: "My grandmother's house is in Youzhou, Miss Dong Er is one of the six beauties of Youzhou, and her reputation is far and wide, my brother has long fallen in love with Miss Dong Er, and has long asked someone to ask for marriage." It's just that Old Man Dong is close to officialdom and far away from the rivers and lakes, and he rejected my brother's proposal. This time, Miss Dong Er openly recruited relatives, my brother came with the heart of victory, if he lost, he would definitely be deeply hit and depressed. I didn't want my brother to end up in that place, so I just wanted to help him beat the competition.

The four people who will participate in the competition tomorrow, my brother, you, Zhang Jinsong and Mu Jiandao, all of them are martial arts masters, and I have no confidence in my brother at all. I have fought with you, and I have also heard the story of your rapid rise in Fanyang, as a relative and friend of the seventh level of recruitment, I personally blocked your performance of the 'Tianshan Palm Technique', I think your martial arts have improved a lot, among the top four, the final victory, it must be you who holds the beauty. So I'm here to talk to you about a deal tonight,"

Li Yuerong paused and continued: "If you lose to my brother in tomorrow's competition, and defeat or seriously deplete the internal strength of my brother's two competitors, Zhang Jinsong and Mu Jiandao, I will marry you and make up for your losses." You lost Dong Bijun, but you got me, it can be said that the gains outweigh the losses. My brother can get what he wants, it's not bad that Miss Dong Er can marry my brother, she has nothing to lose, and it is also a good thing for me to get an excellent man as a husband. If you do it for the benefit of others and yourself, I can't think of a reason for you to refuse. ”

The submachine gun is very important to the combat effectiveness of Xu Qing's new army, which is related to whether Xu Qing can defend his family and defend the country in the future and recover the lost territory of the Tang Dynasty, and whether Xu Qing can rise to the top, climb the peak of power, and be a man of man, so the marriage between Xu Qing and the Dong family is inevitable and imperative. Dong Xijun eloped with a blacksmith in Mingjian Villa, lost Dong Yuanshan's face, and broke off the father-daughter relationship with Dong Yuanshan a long time ago.

Xu Qing's answer was beyond Li Yuerong's expectations, "Miss Li is beautiful, but she is too fierce." I don't want to have a tigress at home, or a lion in Hedong. Seeing that Li Yuerong was stunned, Xu Qing added: "I'm sorry, Miss Li, please go back." ”

Li Yuerong was very conflicted in her heart, she had an intentional crush, that is, her cousin, Guo Yan, the owner of Guojiabao Shaobao in Chengdu, who came to Xu Qing to discuss the deal not out of her original intention, but her father Li Tianxiong forced her to do so. Li Tianxiong is an ambitious person, he hopes that his son Li Linfeng can marry Dong Bijun, the second lady of Mingjian Villa, and his daughter Li Yuerong can marry the man of the year in Fanyang Wulin, Xu Qing, the head of the Longmen Dart Bureau, who is famous in the rivers and lakes, and the marriage of the two powerful forces will undoubtedly strengthen the momentum of Yangzhou Fuyun Villa.

Xu Qing did not accept Li Yuerong, and Li Yuerong could love her crush Guo Yan, which made Li Yuerong happy, but Li Yuerong was worried that her father would think that she was not doing her best, which made her sad. Li Yuerong put down her body and blushed and begged Xu Qing to abandon Dong Bijun and marry her, but Xu Qing refused, which is a humiliation that ordinary women can't bear. Li Yuerong didn't feel humiliated or lost because this was not her intention, but she couldn't be happy. She was conceited and beautiful, and she had never been so struck by it.

Li Tianxiong has a very high status in the family, just like a monarch, his words, Li Yuerong can only obey, and dare not disobey at all. Regarding her father's arrangement, Li Yuerong thought that her father was also out of consideration for the interests of the family, not for her bad, and Xu Qing was also a very good man, and she had some complaints about her father forcing her to come to the door cheekily and begging Xu Qing to marry her, but she had no resentment. No matter how much she complained about her father, no matter how reluctant Guo Yan was, she had no choice but to obey orders. Who made her the daughter of the ambitious Li Tianxiong!

When Li Yuerong left and only walked a few steps, Xu Qing suddenly remembered that Li Yuerong had no expression, and the situation was weird, so he caught up with Li Yuerong and invited Li Yuerong back to the house to talk again.

Xu Qing asked: "You are not angry, disappointed, or sad when you are rejected by me, why is this?" I don't believe that people can be free from joy and sorrow unless the heart is dead. Did you come to beg me to marry you, did Ling Zun or Brother Ling force you to do this, not of your own volition? ”

Li Yuerong was very surprised, Xu Qing was so smart and looked at people in a small way, no wonder he swept Fan Yang in just a few months when he came to Fanyang, and no one could match the limelight, and said: "You are so amazing!" I actually saw that I didn't do it voluntarily. To tell you the truth, my father forced me to do this. I already have a crush on someone, and I never thought about empathy. ”

"Why did your dad force you to do this?"

"My father forced me to do this for the benefit of the family, and besides, he didn't push me into the fire pit, I was just temporarily sad. A woman marries anyone, marrying a man she likes, but she is not a strong person, and she may not be happy in the future, marrying a man she doesn't like, but she is a strong person, and she may be in love for a long time in the future, and she can reap happiness. There are no absolutes. People in the rivers and lakes, who doesn't want to strengthen their strength, marrying the strong is a shortcut. I don't blame my dad. ”

"Your father is too ruthless, using his daughter as a tool for profit!"

"You're not him, you don't understand his suffering!"

"Bitter! Betraying his daughter's lifelong happiness, and suffering! He doesn't deserve to be a father! ”

"Don't you say that about my father!" Li Yuerong stood up from the chair and said angrily.

Xu Qing said: "Then tell me what kind of hardships he has?" ”

"It's a family secret, and I won't tell you unless we become husband and wife. I'm leaving, I'll stay any longer, I'm afraid that Miss Dong Er will misunderstand you and do you a good thing. ”

"Well, I won't be far away."

Secret, it's a secret, Yan Susu's life experience hasn't been found out yet, Li Yuerong has a secret, how many secrets are hidden in the rivers and lakes? How many secrets does a woman hide? After finishing the affairs here, Xu Qing inevitably sent someone to investigate Li Yuerong and Fuyun Villa to see what secrets this father and daughter had who behaved strangely and unreasonably.
