Xin'er was obviously frightened. She quickly retracted her hand and wanted to take it back, but found that Muchuan's grip was too strong and she couldn't take it back. When she raised her head, she saw Muchuan's blazing eyes.
As a girl with particularly delicate emotions, she seems to be able to guess what Muchuan is about to do. Maybe he wants to express his feelings?
Unknowingly, Xin'er's heart was beating rapidly, like a bucket on a well, her breathing was rapid, her face was red, and she began to secretly think about what she would do if her brother really revealed his true feelings.
Normally, Xin'er would definitely accept his feelings, because she also likes him! Even if he doesn't say it, she will confess it! After all, there must be many women competing for an outstanding person like Muchuan, and Xin'er doesn't want to fall behind.
people.
However, now that Xin'er's appearance is damaged and she feels inferior, she always feels that she is not good enough for Muchuan.
Even if Muchuan doesn't dislike it, what will others say?
"Xin'er..." Muchuan's voice came, as if the spring breeze had disturbed Xin'er's troubled thoughts, causing her to focus on him.
Xin'er nodded like a cute rabbit and said in a soft voice: "Brother, what's wrong?"
"We have been together for a long time, and there is something I want to tell you. I wonder if you are willing to be with me..."
Just when Muchuan was about to make his mind clear, a loud voice came from outside the yard, it was Heishan!
Heishan Fengfenghuo rushed over: "My lord! My lord!"
Muchuan and Xin'er were originally in a good atmosphere, like flowers blooming in the spring breeze, waiting to bloom, but everything was shattered because of Heishan's shout!
Xin'er was frightened and shy, and immediately turned away and distanced herself from Muchuan.
Muchuan stared at Heishan very impatiently. Although he did not speak, he looked murderous like a man-eating demon.
Heishan couldn't help but stop. He was confused and confused. He didn't understand what he had done wrong and why Muchuan was staring at him like that.
"Sir...did I show up at the wrong time?"
"You just know it!"
Muchuan said coldly, "Tell me, what's the reason for you coming here in such a hurry?
If it's a trivial matter, I won't break your legs."
Heishan couldn't help but swallowed his throat. How did he know when he should show up? Didn't he come because he had something to report?
What's more, he didn't know whether what he was about to say was a big deal or a small matter.
"Sir, it's like this...General Qin Qiong is here again."
"Qin Qiong?"
Muchuan rolled his eyes, "Why do you need to report such a trivial matter?
Didn’t I say that as soon as Qin Qiong comes, I’ll drive him away and say I’m missing?”
Needless to say, he knew what Qin Qiong was doing. He probably came to compete with him. Muchuan didn't have such free time to accompany him, so he naturally sent him away.
In fact, only Muchuan in the entire court dared to be so bold as to say that he wanted to expel Qin Qiong.
Qin Qiong was both wise and brave, and was titled Hu Guogong. He was one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion and was worshiped as a first-class general.
No matter in terms of official position, reputation, or influence, he was far higher than Muchuan. Even Li Shimin had to treat Qin Qiong politely when he met him.
As a result, when facing a powerful person like Qin Qiong, Muchuan chased him away like a dirty rat. If anyone found out, they would be so scared that their eyes would pop out.
However, Muchuan is such a person. He came from modern times and he doesn't have a strong sense of hierarchy. If it were Li Shimin, he would still respect him a little. If it were someone else, forget it, right?
Muchuan also has his own things to be busy with, but he doesn't have the time to be all-round and follow the crowd.
"Drive Qin Qiong away quickly. I still have things to do here, so I'll leave everything to you."
Muchuan said to Heishan.
Heishan looked embarrassed: "Sir, it's not that I don't want to drive him away, but it's useless to drive him away..."
Qin Qiong had been visiting since early in the morning, saying that he wanted to see Muchuan. Even though the guard at the gate had told him that Muchuan was missing, Qin Qiong did not leave. He just sat in front of the stone steps at the entrance of the mansion.
From sunrise in the morning to sunset in the evening, Qin Qiong remained motionless and no one could persuade him.
Qin Qiong's family members also came just now. Seeing that they could not persuade Qin Qiong, the family members also wanted to come to Muchuan.
Heishan reported the whole story one by one, feeling particularly distressed: "So, sir, my subordinates can't help it..."
"I already know."
Muchuan rubbed his temples, he didn't expect that Qin Qiong would be so difficult to deal with. He was obviously the 24th hero of Lingyan Pavilion, with noble status and extraordinary status, but now he acted like a rogue just to see Muchuan.
With no other choice, Muchuan had no choice but to meet and ask Heishan to let Qin Qiong in.
In the front hall of Shangshu's mansion, the space is brightly lit with candles, and the green tea on the table is emitting a trace of white mist.
Muchuan sat on an old wooden chair, sipping tea, and asked slowly: "So General Qin, I heard that you want to see me?
I don’t know what’s going on?”
Qin Qiong did not sit down, but stood in the center of the hall with her hands waving, looking anxious.
"Master Mu, you are finally willing to see me... I have been waiting for you all day! This time I came here to compete with you!"
"I have also told you about the martial arts competition. If you don't know martial arts, you will be powerless."
"Master Mu, are you still pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger? It's not feasible in front of this general!"
Qin Qiong smiled boldly and further said, "I understand, General... Master Mu doesn't want others to know that you know martial arts, right?
That’s easy!”
It would be better if the two compete in a private place, and no one else would know.
"Of course, this general is a martial arts fanatic. It is not good to let Lord Mu accompany me in my madness, so I brought my chips here! I am willing to form a caravan for Lord Mu!"
As the Minister of Household Affairs, Muchuan had the responsibility of revitalizing the country's economy and assisting the Holy One in governing the world.
Forming a caravan is one of Muchuan's recent tasks, transporting products from Western countries to the Tang Dynasty through caravan trade, and selling products from the Tang Dynasty overseas.
As a general, Qin Qiong has an extraordinary status and has abundant resources, such as funds, connections, and resources that can be used to help.
"How about Master Mu, what are my general's conditions like?"
Listening to Qin Qiong's words, Muchuan was naturally moved!
The formation of the caravan really troubled Muchuan. Although he was the Minister of Household Affairs, the resources he could mobilize were very limited.
Such as recruiting talented people, using funds, customs clearance, etc., he can do all these things without restraint. If he has the help of General Qin Qiong, forming a caravan will naturally be a matter of course.
"I understand..." Muchuan approached Qin Qiong and lowered his voice, "I can promise the general, but I also have conditions."
"I wonder what Master Mu's conditions are?"
"Regardless of the outcome of this competition, I hope the general will not tell anyone.
If anyone asks, please tell me that I don't know martial arts."
