Chapter 404: Secret Negotiation and Following
To be honest, the relationship between Murong Jinlu and the chief manager Hui Haiguang is actually not bad, at least compared to his "brother", this chief manager seems to be more friendly to him.
But it's just friendly, and there is not much connection between the two.
After all, counting Murong Yunxiu, Hui Haiguang has gone through three generations of heads of the Murong family, with a special and transcendent status, and has saved the lives of Murong Jinlan's grandfather and father more than once.
Although Murong Jinlan is the second son of the Murong family, in the eyes of Hui Haiguang, Murong Jinlan is just an ordinary second son of the Murong family in this generation.
If you want to be talented or not, if you have the ability or not, for a Vientiane Realm peak overhaul, why is it necessary to cast your eyes?
Coupled with Hui Haiguang's chilling aura, Murong Jinlu has been quite afraid of this chief manager since he was a child, and he would even be afraid of each other, until he has grown up a little better.
On the contrary, it is the "elder brother", even when he was a child, he was never afraid of the other party, and his courage and courage were far superior to him.
But the strange thing is that the chief manager doesn't like Murong Yunxiu, and Murong Yunxiu doesn't like this chief manager.
Because from childhood to adulthood, Murong Jinlu has always followed behind his "brother", so he and the chief manager can only be said to have a mediocre relationship.
The chief manager is loyal to the Murong family, not the son-in-law and second son of the Murong family.
Now that the other party suddenly sent someone to say that there was something important to discuss, Murong Jinlu felt a little strange, this was the first time that the other party took the initiative to invite him to meet.
Outside the house, the clouds are thickening, the wind is blowing, and in the corner of the classical and exquisite room, the fragrant sandalwood is lit, and the green smoke and birds are warm, delicate, mellow and smooth.
The burly purple-clothed figure sitting on the walnut chair in the main seat was tilting his head sideways, supporting his cheek with one hand, and closing his eyes and pretending to sleep.
Hearing the footsteps outside the door, I opened my eyes, like thunder flashing in the eyes of an eagle, white eyebrows like snow, and eyes like electricity!
It was also the moment he opened his eyes that Murong Jinlu pushed the door in, just in time to meet Hui Haiguang's gloomy eyes.
Like a spear stabbing at the center of his eyebrows, his sharp gaze carried a strong sense of oppression, which directly made Murong Jin's face stiffen and freeze in place.
Murong Jinlu only felt that the wind outside the house had stopped suddenly, the clouds were stagnant, and the dust raised was frozen there, and the whole world, everything, was like a mosquito fixed in amber, unable to move a single bit, and even his consciousness fell into stagnation, as if he was silent.
This is the Vientiane Realm overhaul!
One eye to live, one eye to die, life and death are all in an instant.
Seeing Murong Jinlan's performance, Hui Haiguang was a little disappointed in his heart, and even he couldn't help but sigh and regret.
If Murong Jinlu has Murong Yunxiu's talent and intelligence, then the Murong family will really be lucky, and he will definitely do everything to assist Zuo, even if he dies, he will have no regrets!
It's a pity that Murong Yunxiu is a daughter, and the other Murong bloodline is so mediocre that there is nothing worth caring about.
But even so, in order to prevent Murong Yunxiu from becoming the head of the family, the only thing he can rely on is the only one who can change the situation, and only Murong Jinlu is the only one.
Thinking of this, Hui Haiguang retracted his gaze, and a "kind" smile rose on his face: "Second son!"
However, Hui Haiguang's self-confessed "warm" smile, coupled with the old face of this natural villain, fell in Murong Jinlu's eyes, which directly made him shudder.
This old man is smiling so horrically? Did he offend the other party at some point?
But Murong Jinlu thought about it and didn't think that he could offend the chief manager, after all, the chief manager had gone to the area where the Heart Temple was located to discuss fine wrought iron, and on the way back from the Sword Pavilion, he was also sent out by the "elder brother" to run errands, and the two had not met for nearly a month or two, why did the other party come to him as soon as he came back?
The door behind him was closed, and only Murong Jinlu and Hui Haiguang were left in the room.
Murong Jinlu gritted his teeth, a wry smile appeared on his face, and arched his hand: "Grand Administrator...... The time to come back this time, it seems
Quite a bit earlier than expected?"
"I went first this time, as luck would have it, so things went quite smoothly, and the old man came back a few days early." Hui Haiguang explained casually, and then turned his gaze to look at Murong Jinlan, smiling playfully: "It's the second son, it seems that he just came back not long ago?" Did the head of the family let you deal with the family's chores again?"
Listening to the chief manager's words, it was clear that his tone was normal, but Murong Jinlu always felt that the other party's mouth "Lord of the Family" had a kind of yin and yang weirdness.
However, Murong Jinlan didn't think much about it, because when he heard the second sentence, Murong Jinlan reluctantly clenched his fists, and then showed a reluctant smile.
"My brother is busy, there are too many things, so naturally it is impossible to do everything himself, I can help and contribute to the Murong family, and it is also right."
[In view of the general environment,
In the entire Murong family, everyone knows that the eldest prince is responsible for the affairs of the entire family and is busy all day long, so some family chores that have no time to deal with and are not very important will be handed over to the second prince to deal with.
This also leads to the fact that Murong Golden Scales are like the trash cans of the Murong family, and the unimportant, insignificant and trivial things that are not available to deal with will be handed over to Murong Golden Scales to deal with, and the slightly more important things have never had anything to do with Murong Golden Scales.
In the eyes of outsiders, this undoubtedly proves that Murong Jinlan, as the second son, is really a world different from Murong Yunxiu, even if he has some business talents, but if a family wants to grow, just some business talents can't do it.
What others don't know is that Murong Jinlan's "business talent" actually belongs to Murong Yunxiu.
It was Murong Yunxiu who had repeatedly instructed behind Murong Jinlan and helped Murong Jinlu to take charge of the family chamber of commerce, which made the family chamber of commerce grow a lot and gradually develop towards the Immortal Dynasty.
Although no one else knew this, they only thought it was the second son's own business talent, but every time someone mentioned this matter, Murong Jinlan felt a sense of guilt and shame that the lie had been dismantled.
"Huh."
Sensing the flickering of Murong Jin's eyes, Hui Haiguang smiled, like a winner.
"Second son, please take a seat."
What flattered Murong Jinlu was that Hui Haiguang, who was unattainable in his eyes, took the initiative to stand up at this time and invited him to sit down.
Although Hui Haiguang's identity is the head of the Murong family, and his usual behavior is also in line with the identity of the Murong family's retainers, and there are few times when he exceeds the rules, but the strength and status of the other party are there, and the entire Murong family, including Murong Yunxiu and Murong Jinlan's father, is still the real head of the Murong family, and they dare not regard the other party as a retainer.
The other party's sudden hand directly frightened Murong Jinlan, and his heart rose to his throat, and he even almost jumped up in shock.
With Hui Haiguang's special status, it is not too much for Murong Jinlu to call the other party "grandpa", how can a grandfather invite his grandson to sit down?
This has to be known by my father, and I am afraid that there are a few favorite big mouths.
Just when Murong Jinlu wanted to refuse, Hui Haiguang's eyes changed and he stared at Murong Jinlu quietly.
I didn't say anything, but I said everything.
In desperation, Murong Jinlu could only choose to sit down tremblingly, and then thought about all the results that he could think of and couldn't think of.
But in the end, he found that Hui Haiguang just looked at him with a smile and didn't do anything.
"Boss, you ......" Murong Jinlan was full of doubts.
This invitation was so strange, from the moment he stepped into the room, it was strange everywhere, he couldn't guess what the other party wanted to do, this feeling was even like facing his unfathomable "brother".
Seeing Murong Jinlu sitting down obediently, Hui Haiguang smiled, and did not beat around the bush, but asked questions directly.
"Second son, have you ever thought of sitting on the position of head of the family?"
"Poof!"
Murong Jinlan, who was just about to take a sip of tea to suppress the shock, squirted out a mouthful of strong tea and looked at the other end of the table in shock
The old man.
He wanted to see traces of joking on the other party's face, but Hui Haiguang's narrowed eyes were full of gloom and depth!
-----------------
At the same time, Huai Zhi'an also left the Zhao family's dart game, followed the path pointed out by Zhao Tiancheng, and came to the front of the Murong family's mansion leisurely.
It should be said or not, Tianhai City is indeed a trading city connecting the Western Desert and the Immortal Dynasty, and its prosperity is also ranked first in the entire Great Qin Immortal Dynasty.
In Huai Zhi'an's impression, the only thing that can be compared with it may be Snow Dragon City in the north.
One is in the extreme north and the other is in the extreme west, but similarly, the two cities are connected to the Immortal Dynasty and the Immortal Dynasty.
The Western Desert and the Demon Clan are both places where there are 10,000 taels of gold for a trip.
Although the West Desert sounds like a desert, it used to be where the Spirit Mountain was, and even though the Spirit Mountain had collapsed for many years, the West Desert itself still contained countless opportunities and resources.
And although the Western Desert region is desolate and the folk customs are fierce, it is not bad compared to the demon clan that is not good to the human race, after all, it belongs to the human race.
Along the way, Huai Zhi'an even saw the people of the Western Desert walking in the city of Tianhai City.
Different from the Immortal Dynasty human race, the people of the Western Desert wore very little, whether they were men or women, almost only blocked key parts, and their bronze or brown skin was extremely conspicuous.
The man's figure is tall, burly and strong, and at a glance, it looks like the wind and sand in the desert, and his fierce spirit is difficult to hide.
The woman in the Western Desert has a bewitching figure, her eyes are like silk, her waist is slender and winding like a poisonous snake, and her special emerald green eyes are like a pair of shining emeralds under her eyes.
It's just that the ice-cold scimitar at her waist tells all the greedy eyes that she is not easy to mess with.
However, Huai Zhi'an heard Shangguan Jinghong say that in the green building where Shangguan Jinghong had been, there was a woman from the Western Desert.
This fierce character, like a female leopard python, is unexpectedly popular in Chang'an, so the Immortal Dynasty Chamber of Commerce is doing business in the Western Desert, and the merchants are not only selling all kinds of dead things, but also the women of the Western Desert are also a kind of "goods"!
Huai Zhi'an was also smacked after hearing this, he could see that the group of people in Chang'an who often go to the Qinglou, as long as they look like a person, let alone the human race, the demon clan that has changed their shape, or the demon women who have not completely transformed and still have some demon characteristics, they can do it.
If this development continues, Huai Zhi'an doubts that those guys will be able to go one day even if they are not human.
Shaking his head, Huai Zhi'an withdrew his gaze from the woman in the Western Desert and turned to look at the magnificent mansion in front of him.
Before Huai Zhi'an could speak, he saw the "coachman" of Murong Yunxiu, who had seen him before, come out of Murong Yunxiu's house, greet Huai Zhi'an, and said respectfully:
"Senpai, this way, please!"
Duan Chu seemed to have known that Huai Zhi'an would come at this time......
Huai Zhi'an raised his eyebrows, but he was not surprised.
After all, with the power of the Murong family, it was too normal for his eyes to spread all over Tianhai City, and when he came out of the Zhao family's dart game, the other party was already observing his movements.
Walking into the mansion, Duan Chu did not speak, as silent as ever.
"Don't you wonder what I'm doing at Murong's house?"
Seeing that Duan Chu didn't speak, it was Huai Zhi'an who asked curiously after looking at the Murong family.
Duan Chu shook his head: "The head of the family just said that if the seniors arrived, they would invite the seniors to meet the family master."
"Huh."
Huai Zhi'an smiled, and the other party guessed quite accurately.
Seeing that Murong Yunxiu had expected it, Huai Zhi'an was too lazy to say, and as Duan Chu went all the way deeper, he went around to a side courtyard.
And in this side courtyard, Murong Yunxiu, dressed in casual clothes, was waiting.
Seeing Murong Yunxiu, Huai Zhi'an raised his eyebrows: "Huh? The head of the Murong family is dressed like this, is he going out?"
Different from the luxurious clothes he wore when he first met, Murong Yunxiu is now wearing a simple blue robe, with long hair tied up, simple, but unexpectedly combined
The body is as handsome as the son of the turbidity world.
This has to take a fan in your hand and walk on the street, I'm afraid it won't make the little girl stunned.
It's just that the other party suddenly changed into such a dress, obviously wanting to go out without saying anything, and it may not be above board.
"I do have this plan, if my predecessor comes a little late, I may not be in the house." Murong Yunxiu was not surprised to see Huai Zhi'an appear, but just explained with a smile.
"So I disturbed the head of the Murong family?"
Murong Yunxiu shook his head: "That's not true, I just received some information, but there are not enough people who can be trusted, so I plan to go and see for myself."
"Originally, this matter was relatively secret, and no one else would know about it except Duan Chu, but since it was the seniors who came here, how dare I not see it?"
"Hmm......" Huai Zhi'an ignored the other party's little rainbow fart, just groaned for a moment, and then looked up and asked. Isn't it related to the Zhao family's dart game and the incident with Miss An Ran?"
Hearing this, Duan Chu behind Huai Zhi'an looked shocked, and he didn't know how Huai Zhi'an knew.
And a glimmer of light flashed in Murong Yunxiu's eyes, and he looked at Huai Zhi'an's handsome face that was even a few points better than him with a strange look.
"I was amazed by the intelligence of my predecessors."
"That's what it should be." Huai Zhi'an smiled. "Since it involves Miss Enron's matter, and I have promised to help Miss Enron solve this matter for her, I wonder if it is convenient to follow?"
Duan Chu looked at Huai Zhi'an in surprise.
And Murong Yunxiu also hesitated, looked at each other, and after a short thought, nodded.
This is the world-famous Fuyun Sword Immortal, this kind of combat power, how can you not pull it over and take advantage of it?
Originally, this trip was secretive, there was not much information, and the danger was unknown, so she took some risks alone.
But if Huai Zhi'an is there, Murong Yunxiu feels that it is not impossible to go around the Great Qin Palace.
This inexplicable sense of security is too abundant!
