Chapter 115: Negotiation
After a night rain, the high-pitched shouts of the peddlers' pawns kicked off a new day for Muyun.
Han Qing opened the door of the medical hall and looked at the steaming heat from the steamer at the breakfast stall opposite, and couldn't help but feel the comfort of half a day's leisure stolen from the feet of the Son of Heaven.
"Let's go, let's go have breakfast." Murong Bai touched his empty abdomen, and had just raised his feet to go to the opposite side to eat breakfast, but was stopped by Han Qing in his chest.
Murong Bai turned his head and looked at Han Qing in confusion.
"Look." Han Qing's slender and powerful fingers pointed firmly at the several white jasmine petals adsorbed on the moist bluestone slab under his feet.
Murong Bai stared at it carefully, this jasmine flower had been introduced and planted from Xihu in the Han Dynasty for a long time, and there was nothing special about it.
Is there any sign on the ground, but there is none? Murong Bai was very puzzled, his starry eyes widened, and he looked up for advice with a studious face.
"You, why don't you have a little pity for the jade? Look how fragile and beautiful they are, lying desolate on the ground, do you want to step on their corpses!" Seeing that he couldn't comprehend the true meaning, Han Qing asked with some sadness.
Under his gaze, Murong Bai silently withdrew his feet in shame, put on a face that humbly asked for advice, and said: "Hualang, don't blame, I'm a rough person, I don't have a little leisure and leisure, and I almost stepped on them without long eyes under my feet, what do you say I should do?"
Han Qing was silent, took out a white plain from his arms, held it in the palm of his hand, bent down, carefully twisted the petals one by one and put them in the towel cloth, and finally gently poured it on the jasmine root.
He retracted the veil with tenderness in his eyes and said: "The leaves fall back to the roots, and the flowers fall back to the soil is their correct way back, if they are trampled on the bluestone slab, it will be too pitiful." Flowers are as fragile as women, and they should be treated and cherished. ”
"I forgot that you have flowers in your nickname, but I don't know which is more important in the eyes of the jade-faced Shura, human life and flowers?" Murong Bai deliberately put his face in his ear and asked maliciously.
"Your life is as heavy as a flower." Han Qing quietly wiped his hands full of dirt on Murong Bai Yuebai's robe, and secretly snickered in his eyes.
"Are all living beings equal...... Murong Bai seemed to have an understanding, muttered softly in his mouth, and when he turned around to talk to him in detail, he saw that the man was already pacing in front of the steaming bun and chatting with the boss amicably.
The more detailed Han Qing was, the more he found that under the cold-blooded and cruel shell, he was an extremely gentle and meticulous person.
Murong Bai's eyebrows and eyes were soft, and the corners of his mouth were chuckling, I really don't know what kind of mentality this person had when he took people's lives on the Shura battlefield.
"Boss, bring me a bowl of soy milk, two fried dough sticks, and two tofu buns."
Murong Bai ordered the food easily, and the stall owner saw that it was an acquaintance and said with a smile on his face: "Okay, you two sit down on the stool first, and I will serve the food in a while."
"Here's what you ordered." The boss's movements were very fast, and he put Han Qing and Murong Bai's breakfast together.
"Thank you!" Han Qing and Murong Bai smiled and thanked each other.
"I don't know if the two of you know about Prime Minister Yan's wife being arrested." The stall owner chattered as he cleaned up the table next to him.
"Well, there was a lot of uproar yesterday, and the people in official uniforms found the bride?" Han Qing raised his head and asked curiously while eating a small porridge.
"No! I searched all night and still didn't hear anything. Everyone talked about the purpose of capturing Miss Jiang Shi with the ghost face, some people said that Miss Jiang Shi was snatched away by the ghost king, some people said that Miss Jiang Shi's old lover did not agree to this marriage to rob the family, and some people said that it was someone sent by the enemy country, there are four or five versions.
I said that it will take at least two or three days to find Miss Jiang Shi, because the officers and soldiers in Taicheng have been very tight recently, and even the Imperial Forest Army has been sent out, so where can I take care of Miss Jiang. The boss put down the rag, washed his hands in the clay pot, and said clearly.
"What do you mean by that?" After Murong Bai chewed slowly, he asked humbly.
"This morning, several officers and soldiers were buying steamed buns with me, and they didn't even have time to sit down to eat, and they complained to me that most of them were sent everywhere to find the male queen and the remnants of Beihan, and the rest were sent to block the dock and various exits, saying that they were instructed from above to intercept important people.
There are only ten people left to find Miss Jiang Shi. After the boss finished speaking, he sold steamed buns to the old customers.
"Have you seen any big names in Taicheng recently?" Han Qing seemed to hear the key point of the matter, and immediately asked in his heart.
After the boss finished looking for the customer's copper coin, he turned around and said cautiously: "No one has ever been so polite to me as you are, I might as well tell you, you have to keep it secret, don't tell others."
I heard that Mu Wan's brutal son Bailixi couldn't stay over there, and he brought troops to Muyun to take refuge, and our emperor sent people to take him to various good places in Taicheng, and entertained him with good food and drink, wanting him to stay. ”
"The emperor is willing to pay more attention, how good our Muyun is, does the cruel son want to go elsewhere." Han Qing continued to speak, but saw the boss shake his head.
"That's not necessarily, I heard that the brutal son is not very satisfied with the conditions offered by Mu Yun, and he seems to have the intention of leaving." When the boss saw someone coming, he immediately stopped talking and went up again.
Upon hearing the news, Han Qing and Murong Bai glanced at each other, both frowning and silent.
"I have to meet with Ye Yuanshan quickly." Han Qing put down his chopsticks and said in a deep voice, Murong Bai put down the spoon and nodded.
"Hey, when did they leave?" As soon as the boss turned around, he saw the two guests just now, and they left quietly without even finishing the porridge and soy milk, scratching their heads suspiciously.
"Oh, why should we believe what you say." In the inn by the window, Ye Yuanshan pushed two cups of poured wine in front of Han Qing and Murong Bai, and asked with a smile on his jaw.
"If you don't believe me, you won't be able to leave or stay in this city. It will only pull down a desperate ending, Xiao Jingyu will take away all your soldiers, and if you lose your soldiers, it will be nothing. ”
Han Qing picked up the wine glass and drank it all, let go of his fingers and dropped the wine glass in the air to the ground, as if everyone could see the future ending through the fragments.
Ye Yuanshan stared at the fragment, lowered his eyes and smiled: "How do you know that we can't leave, and we won't turn around and betray you, and change to a good future and wealth."
"Because your methods are certainly not as good as mine, and you can minimize the losses. You won't report us, I know what you want, Mu Yun can't give it, Beihan is your best partner. ”
Han Qingsheng said in his hand, his eyes shining brightly, attracting everyone's attention.
Ye Yuanshan raised his hand and gave Han Qing another glass of wine, and raised his eyes with interest: "Then I want to know, how much can you give?"
"No more Tai Chi, call your master out, and we'll negotiate."
Ye Yuanshan raised his eyes to look at Murong Bai diagonally opposite, the consciousness of sending off the guest was obvious, Han Qing comforted Murong Bai beside him and said, "You go downstairs and wait for me first."
Murong Bai nodded silently, turned around and left the room.
"Lord Wang, come out." Murong Bai sat in his position and said leisurely to the master behind the screen.
Behind the screen, a corner of pale green brocade clothes slowly appeared, Han Qing was secretly looking forward to it, it could be seen that the person who was coming, the expectation immediately turned to surprise, and he exclaimed with wide eyes: "It's you!"
The man in front of him was tall, handsome and elegant, and he was quite talented, and his two dimples were very obvious when he smiled.
"In Xiabaili Creek, Brother Yu hasn't seen you for a long time, no, it's time to talk about Brother Han now." Bailixi smiled, dimples looming on the side of his cheeks, and he saw that the nobility was looming, it was the rich and noble brother he met in front of the Fenglaiyi Hotel.
"I didn't expect you to be Bailixi, I missed my eyes." It is rumored that Bailixi is a handsome man with a good appearance, who loves to wear a mask and does not easily show his true face.
Han Qing felt that the beauty of the man in front of him was far inferior to Mu Yun Simei, and he was not as good as Ye Yuanshan's stinky skin, and he was slightly disappointed in his heart.
"Han Gongzi shows his true face today, and Xi naturally treats people sincerely." Bailixi stared at the beautiful man in front of him, and finally understood why men were also eager for him.
Han Qing's beauty is no longer limited to the gender of men and women, his beauty has a deadly and dangerous attraction, and if he is not strong, he will be taken away by the soul.
"Master Han, you better wear a veil and talk about things." Bailixi was afraid of crime, and said gently and politely.
Han Qing felt funny, picked up the veil on the table, and put it back on his face.
"Han Gongzi, since we met, let's not talk darkly. If we cooperate with you, the first condition is to give us 140,000 soldiers, each of whom has arranged fields and houses, and gives men who are trying to marry an equal opportunity to choose a mate. ”
Han Qing replied firmly, "Yes."
Bailixi continued: "My second condition is that in the future, we will assist you in fighting the world, and you can choose a continent to be the king independently, of course, we are not the emperor, as long as we govern the continent independently, and you must not interfere." We will do the sweet potato continent below the North Cold, and if there is any difficulty and need in the North Cold, we will help, how? ”
Han Qing replied firmly: "Yes! Name your third condition? ”
"After returning to Beihan, he gave me the position of prime minister before dividing the continent and let me participate in the decision-making of the court. Then, how about giving General Ye Yuanshan the position, letting him continue to lead the Mu Wan army, and giving other capable people some positions? ”
Bailixi looked at Han Qing, who was thinking, and asked with a smile, "What are all my conditions?"
"Nothing was a problem! We will make a note now, and when we return to Beihan, I will ask Beihan Mo to sign another contract for you. Han Qing spread his hands and smiled.
"Yuanshan, you can write the note for me." Bailixi turned his head kindly and said to Ye Yuanshan, who was sitting beside him.
"No problem, I'll write!" Ye Yuanshan took the rice paper on the table, wrote two contracts with a pen, and wrote the words Bailixi where he signed.
Han Qing stared at the three words "Baili Creek" written by Ye Yuanshan, thoughtfully, and said in his heart: They are really cunning and cunning, I am afraid that if they want to regret it in the future, they will have reason to say that this is not written by me.
"Han Gongzi, is there a problem?" Bailixi looked at Han Qing, who was thinking, and asked with a smile.
"No problem! I signed. Han Qing wrote his name on it, and promised for Bei Hanmo first.
"Happy working together!" Bailixi stretched out his hand to congratulate, and Han Qing smiled perfunctorily and stretched out his hand to shake it.
"Tomorrow, we will gather at the pier at noon and set off together for Beihan, and we will not wait for the expiration date." Bailixi said arrogantly.
Han Qing thought to himself that Ye Hehua had woken up this morning, and it was time to leave after being stranded in Muyun for a long time.
"No problem, I'll let you get to the North Cold." Han Qing replied briskly. To this group of people with a big voice, he said in his heart: If you don't have my disguise technique, can you go to the North Cold smoothly?
