Chapter 122: Earnest Talks

(Still having a headache, excuse me, there's still only one chapter)

Perhaps many people have had this experience - because they usually speak too casually, or when facing someone they don't care about, they will unconsciously be a little unwitting.

At this time, if the boss, mother or wife happens to appear behind you, or even be by your side from the beginning, but you accidentally forgot about it, then congratulations, at this time you must be able to feel a chill in your heart.

At this moment, Zhao Fan deeply felt the coldness that almost froze time.

Originally, Zhao Fan and Huo Qingtong were just an alliance that could barely be regarded as "friends", and no one was stronger between the two sides. Therefore, when Huo Qingtong sarcastically said to Zhao Fan, saying that he only had beautiful women in his eyes, and he was disappointed if he couldn't see Kasli, Zhao Fan naturally refused to suffer, and immediately choked back, implying that although Huo Qingtong had a good appearance, he was still far inferior to his sister Princess Xiangxiang's reputation in the world.

Such a prickly joke is really common among friends, and it can even get closer to each other in a certain way, and there is nothing to blame. But even if you are stupid, after more than 20 years of modern culture, you should at least know that praising other girls in front of your sweetheart is undoubtedly a dead act.

Therefore, when Huo Qingtong smiled and asked the sentence "What does the girl think", Zhao Fan immediately realized that what he had just said was actually very inappropriate, and it was very likely to leave a bad impression on Li Shengnan as a first-class disciple. What's worse is that now Zhao Fan has not clearly expressed the meaning of pursuit at all, and now even if he wants to say a cliché "Miss Li, don't misunderstand", he can't find that position.

- WTF! You can't just die because of a small mistake, right?

With a little apprehension, Zhao Fan quietly glanced at Li Shengnan on the side from the corner of his eye, but saw that the girl seemed to be unintentionally gently shaking the dust.

"Miss Huo asked me what I think?" the girl chuckled softly, even though she couldn't see her expression clearly through the veil. The two people present could still feel the "interesting" meaning in her words.

"I thought what Zhao Fan said was extremely true. Li Shengnan said. "Miss Huo's beauty is undoubtedly beautiful. I feel sorry for it, but the name of 'Princess Xiangxiang' has spread back to Xinjiang, and I think that Miss Huo is still superb, but I can't see it, which is really embarrassing. ”

"Huh?" Hearing that Li Shengnan did not dismantle the stage as he thought, but did not hesitate to push it to the end, Huo Qingtong's face was stunned for a moment, and then it was as if he had seen something interesting. Smile with a happy smile.

"Well, since Miss Li also said so, the little woman will admit it. If there is time in the future, Qingtong will definitely invite the two of them to have a meeting with the sister, and never let the two of them down. But for now, let's get down to business. Huo Qingtong sighed lightly, and then put away the smile on his face.

"First things first-" Huo Qingtong said, turning his gaze to Zhao Fan's direction, "Zhao Gongzi really lived up to his expectations and really killed Zhang Zhaozhong with the 'three-point sword technique'. Easier layout, so that Ximen Muye self-destruction of the Great Wall, although there are inevitable tricks in the middle. But what Childe did has proven Childe's ability. Qingtong couldn't help but want to ask: Zhao Gongzi, I don't know if you are willing to join my 'Red Flower Club'? With Zhao Gongzi, I can only think that I can win the appreciation of my third master within two or three years, and it is not an extravagant hope to be in the picture at that time. I wonder what Childe thinks?"

"Well...... this" Zhao Fan couldn't help but be stunned when he was suddenly invited like this, but after a short period of thought, he shook his head slowly but firmly.

"Miss Huo is good. Zhao got it. However, please forgive Zhao for not daring to follow. ”

"I see. Hearing Zhao Fan's answer, Huo Qingtong did not have the slightest disappointment on his face. It's just as if it's taken for granted.

"Originally, I didn't expect Zhao Gongzi to agree, but I just tried it at random. Now this answer is not surprising. Huo Qingtong nodded clearly and said, "Come to think of it, Zhao Gongzi, as the righteous son of the 'Tianyi Layman', has been accustomed to seeing martial arts masters since he was a child, so he wants to be an official, and he only needs to serve under Mr. Zhuge ...... become the fifth catcher without much effort."

As he spoke, the "Cui Yu Yellow Shirt" looked at Zhao Fan, his eyes were full of regret, obviously after being rejected by Zhao Fan, the girl's mood was by no means as open-minded as she said verbally.

This gaze stared at Zhao Fan uncomfortably, almost like sitting on pins and needles, coughed lightly at the moment, and quickly changed the topic.

"Miss Huo, I see that you have gone to such great lengths to enter the city in the name of Sister Ling, I don't think it should be for the sake of soliciting subordinates. I don't know what your intentions are? Could it be that you are using this to ambush your men and prepare to kill them in one fell swoop when the Kwantung Conference comes?"

"That's the second thing I'm going to say. ”

Huo Qingtong said with a smile.

"In fact, the people in the Red Flower Club who know that I have zài are only Yuan Shixiao and Chen Jialuo's master and apprentice, and the rest of the people don't know that the 'Princess Huijiang' is their mastermind behind the scenes, so naturally it is even more impossible for Princess Guò to get involved in the honor guard. Therefore, the main thing about entering the city this time is just to be able to better communicate with all parties. After the previous World War, we, the 'Red Flower Society', had already made the decision to sit on the sidelines and never show up at the meeting hall on the day of the Kwantung Congress, neither I nor a dozen of the leaders under my command would appear at the meeting hall - the reason why I invited you here was only to explain to you. ”

"Oh?" Hearing her words, Zhao Fan and Li Shengnan were not surprised.

Glancing at each other quickly, Zhao Fan immediately asked as a representative: "Your meeting's move should have a deep meaning. But wouldn't such an act be inconsistent with your association's purpose of weakening the Qing court?"

"Not really. Huo Qingtong shook his head and explained kindly.

"As Gongzi knows, behind the Society, the Great Zhou Dynasty has always been standing, and the purpose of the establishment of the Society has never been 'anti-Qing', but 'to disrupt the Jurchen Kingdom'. ”

"As one of the six great powers today, at the moment when the Western Xia has been destroyed, the Qing court, which inherited the Jurchen Kingdom, is really a force that cannot be ignored in the world. In order to make this force not threaten my Great Zhou, from the position of my Great Zhou, the Jurchen Kingdom, which has been in chaos, must not be re-stabilized, if it is not divided, it needs to be weakened, and it is best to weaken and then split, and a gradually strong Qing court is not in the interests of the Great Zhou, so the 'Red Flower Society' is needed to 'oppose the Qing'. ”

"And now, after the previous battle, the last cards of the Qing court have been proved to be doomed, in this case, we should no longer fight and weaken them, but use them to weaken the future enemy - and this is why we choose to stand idly by. ”

Huo Qingtong smiled, looked at Zhao Fan and Li Shengnan and said.

"Do you have any questions about that?"

"Well...... this"

Zhao Fan pondered slightly for a moment, and then honestly and unceremoniously stretched out two fingers.

"I thought there were two questions!"

Zhao Fan said categorically.

"First, why did your council just sit idly by, and not help the Qing court in turn?

"Second," Zhao Fan said implicitly, "who is the 'future enemy' that your guild refers to, in other words, who is the person who will take charge of the Jurchen kingdom?"

Before the words fell, Huo Qingtong on the main seat had already clapped his hands gently.

"Zhao Gongzi really asked a good question. ”

The girl nodded with great satisfaction.

"In that case, let Qingtong solve the confusion in your heart for the two of you. (To be continued)
