In the carriage back to Danzhou, Murong Chong pondered what he had seen and heard today, and it didn't take long to figure out what Lin Ruo and Li Yan said today: Although Li Yan is from Donglu, he has a transcendent position in the royal court of Beiqi, and those above 10,000 people under one person are deployed, and whether he has military power is still to be verified, but there is absolutely no doubt that he holds the wealth of the entire Beiqi.

It is not difficult to deduce that the best things in the entire tribe of Beiqi were either dedicated to the Great Khan Mili or in the hands of Li Yan - for this nomadic people living in groups, blessings should be shared, difficulties should also be shared, and private possession is the most intolerable and forgivable—at least on the surface, it must be like this.

Therefore, the fur that was also sent for trading was obviously from Li Yan.

As for how that was also obtained, it's easier to guess:

Miri came to Danzhou, Li Yan is not in Beiqi, you don't have to think about it to know who has the final say in the royal court at this moment.

This ambitious Khan's younger brother, Du Deployment Midu, has always been hostile to Li Yan, and Lin Ruo and Li Yan, two people who are more cunning than foxes, deliberately knocked on the side and instigated, how could they be patient and not make a move? Relying on his identity and military power, the subordinates and cronies who were left by Li Yan in the royal court must have been repaired, so that the key to the treasury fell into the hands of Midu.

But Midu was not reckless, he only took a small part of the transaction, probably because there were still people in the royal court who pointed out that he did not dare to violate the khan's taboo too much. It was only a small temptation, and there was no major action. But Li Yan's counterattack with such fanfare was incomprehensible, and he had to sweat.

Being in a high position and holding heavy power, no matter which dynasty or dynasty you are in, you will be regarded as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh by the highest authority, and the charge of "high merit and high power" will be deducted. This point is very clear to Murong Chong, who has lived in the palace since he was a child. The people who are placed in such a position of cooking oil in such a blazing fire are all cautious, careful in their words and deeds, for fear that they will take the wrong step and invite the disaster of killing. Li Yan chose to tear his face with Midu with great fanfare at this time, which is really incomprehensible.

But Li Yan is not a reckless man, nor is he acting impulsively, although his move not only exposes the power he has planted in the royal court, but also disregards the overall situation in such an extraordinary period, but this is precisely his cleverness.

The so-called "those who are not of my race will have different hearts."

It is true that the people of the Central Plains have this deep-rooted consciousness, and the barbarian state is even more concerned about this.

Although Li Yan has half of the Beiqi blood, in the end, he is a Donglu person, and if he wants to fully gain a foothold, he has to rely on external forces - his unparalleled wisdom has accumulated huge wealth for the Beiqi and is deeply relied on by the Khan; His chic and dignified appearance attracted the attention of many Beiqi girls and won the favor of Princess Qianye. Princess Zhiya is Miri's favorite sister, and if she can become a family, she is naturally no longer an outsider.

This kind of trick of sacrificing and using women's emotions to achieve ends is the most despicable and most direct way, especially for the court. From ancient times to the present, whether in prosperous times or troubled times, princesses and county lords have married distant and pro-Hu people of different races to show favor and appeasement, or married powerful ministers to show favor and balance.

This is a history of women's blood and tears dressed in the cloak of righteousness, but even in the new era in which Lin Ruo originally lived, the mainstream evaluation of these women is still to praise their high righteousness and dedication.

Such a marriage has never been severed.

If it was Su Muyu sitting next to him, Lin Ruo would definitely have a high interest and talk to him freely.

It's not that Lin Ruo is prejudiced against Murong Chong, but precisely because she knows Murong Chong too well, so this topic is the most inappropriate for them to talk about: as the commander of the three armed forces, it is an insult to talk about exchanging women and relatives for peace on the border; As a royal nobleman, he is the most direct victim of marriage, in order to stabilize the position of the prince, he married Lin Ruo, a young lady from the Lin family, who is the richest man in Bian'an. Although it seems that this marriage is not as disgusting to him as he expected, and even makes him quite happy in it, it does not deny the nature of the marriage between them.

However, Lin Ruo never spoke to Murong Chong, and there was another important reason - she learned the news about Song Huan Chu from Li Yan.

At the meeting, Lin Ruo and Li Yan have been "chatting" through the tapping of their fingers and exchanging news: Li Yan praised her for her eyes like a torch and chose a good man, and she also confessed to Li Yan about the direct contract with Murong Chong; They decided when to make a move, and unknowingly "robbed" Naye, so that Naye also had a chance to report to Midu......

But none of these were the news revealed by Li Yan when he left, which shocked Lin Ruo, so that at this moment, she still couldn't calm down in her heart - Song Huan Chu arrived in Danzhou, under the pseudonym Chu Haoze.

Li Huaijin didn't know the entanglement between Chu Haoze and Gu Mengyao, but he knew the fact that Lin Ruo was not the real Gu Manxue.

He was so smart that even Gu Manxi, the sister of his in-laws, was unaware of the secret, but he discovered the clues. However, Lin Ruo was also calm, except for the part about Chu Haoze, everything else was confessed to Li Yan.

It can be said that Li Yan is the only person in this world who knows Lin Ruo's true details, and because he knows the details, he can trust him so much, so he is willing to listen to the arrangement of this girl who seems to be younger than his own age - the longer he gets along, the more he can feel Lin Ruo's unique talent and advantages in business.

Therefore, if Li Yan knew the true identity of "Chu Haoze", he would definitely not tell Lin Ruo about this matter, even if he risked being detected by Miri Khan, he would directly solve Song Huan Chu.

It's a pity that there are no ifs. Because of Lin Ruo's own momentary loss, the deepest secret she hid in her heart was used by Song Huan Chu.

At this moment, as Chu Haoze, Song Huan Chu and his entourage, who were left in Danzhou City, were talking happily with Miri Khan. Among them, Tang Xiao, who has the title of "the first genius in Xishu", has made great contributions. This young man who can be compared to Li Yan is particularly admired by Miri, but it is a shame that Tang Xiao looks down on businessmen and is too far away from Li Yan in the way of business, otherwise with Miri's blue eyes on him, he will definitely find a way to leave people behind - of course, in Miri's consciousness, the so-called method is the simplest and rude way to kill Song Huan Chu.

Tang Xiao's outstanding performance has both advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage lies in gaining Miri's favor, which will help his master achieve his goal and find Lin Ruo and Murong Chong and his party more conveniently.

The disadvantage is that it is quiet, which provides Li Yan with a reason to deal with him - jealousy, which does not need to be explained.

But at this moment, Tang Xiao obviously didn't realize this.
