The knocking sound is very soft and rhythmic. From the knocking sound, you can infer that the person has an excellent education.

Su Xiaoxiao and Mu Qiuhuang looked at each other, and their thoughts finally came to their minds.

While Su Xiaoxiao went to open the door, Mu Qiuhuang changed her sitting position, but still did not stand up to greet him.

Just as Mu Qiuhuang changed her posture, Su Xiaoxiao had already welcomed the visitor in.

Without Su Xiaoxiao's introduction, both parties already knew each other's identity. In fact, both parties had already investigated the other party clearly before this meeting. The ultimate purpose of the two coming to the brothel this time was also for each other.

The two looked at each other in tacit understanding and smiled at the same time.

"Master Liu, please sit down."

"Thank you, Mr. Mu."

If you just look at the words and expressions of Mu Qiuhuang and Liu Yiyong, you will have an illusion. Instead of meeting them for the first time, they look like old friends who have known each other for a long time.

When Su Xiaoxiao saw Liu Yiyong sitting down on the seat opposite Mu Qiuhuang, he glanced at Mu Qiuhuang. After receiving Mu Qiuhuang's look in response, he said to the two of them: "Xiao Xiaoxiao, go down and ask someone to give you some more."

Fruit tea.”

When Liu Yiyong heard this, he nodded to Su and said softly: "Thank you, Miss Su."

Su Xiaoxiao smiled at Liu Yiyong without saying anything, and walked straight out of the room without forgetting to close the door for the two of them.

After Su Xiaoxiao went out, the two of them looked at each other with smiles on their faces. What was strange was that neither of them had the intention to speak.

…

What Mu Qiuhuang didn't expect was the appearance of the Fourth Young Master Liu. Before meeting Liu Yiyong, Mu Qiuhuang had seen a total of four Young Masters of the Liu Family, and none of the four Young Masters of the Liu Family had ever looked like this.

Appearance. Liu Yiyong was ranked fourth in the Haihun Marquis Mansion, but if we look at his appearance alone, I am afraid some people would believe that he was ranked high in rank. All this is because Liu Yiyong has a young and mature face.

In terms of face, in terms of real age, Liu Yiyong is three years younger than the second son Liu Yihuan, but if the faces of the two are compared, Liu Yiyong is more than ten years older than Liu Yihuan... Watching

After seeing Liu Yiyong's face, Mu Qiuhuang finally understood why Liu Yiyong was so cautious before. The four words "face comes from the heart" could not help but pop up in his mind. Mu Qiuhuang thought of herself at that time

In order to gain the trust of Liu Yiyong, he actually tricked the eighth child and put his meeting with the second child Liu Yihuan in the open so that Liu Yiyong could watch it in the dark... which made him feel a little unhappy, but at this time, he felt that

The unhappiness had completely disappeared, and Mu Qiuhuang even had the feeling that if Liu Yiyong hadn't done that, he would have been really unhappy.

…

Mu Qiuhuang and Liu Yiyong looked at each other for a long time, both waiting for the other to speak first. However, the two of them had waited for almost a cup of tea, and they did not wait for the other to speak first, but the look in their eyes was

He turned around the other party countless times, as if communicating with his eyes... After another cup of tea, Mu Qiuhuang finally made a move, but he was not ready to speak, but picked up a cup of tea.

The cup of tea on the table in front of me.

Mu Qiuhuang picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Although the tea was already cold and the taste was not good, Mu Qiuhuang still tasted it carefully as if drinking sweet rain.

When Liu Yiyong saw Mu Qiuhuang holding the tea cup, he was also ready to imitate him.

He looked good, but when he lowered his head, he saw that there was no tea cup on the table. The cup of tea on the table in front of him was the leftover tea that Su Xiaoxiao had just drank... Seeing this, Liu Yiyong

The smile on his face paused for a moment, and then turned self-deprecating.

Liu Yiyong was not blaming Mu Qiuhuang for not preparing tea for him, but was mocking his current situation.

The current situation in the Haihun Marquis Mansion can be summed up in one sentence: the situation is stronger than the people.

Su Xiaoxiao once said before that the second son Liu Yihuan is the most likely to inherit the position of Marquis of Haihun, because he is older than others, his uncle holds military power, and he is the most powerful in a military encounter; 8

Young Master Liu Yifeng was very good at getting things done, winning over the minds of a large group of civil servants and controlling the direction of public opinion... After all, this was the only fourth prince who did not take advantage of both civil and military affairs. Although Mu Qiuhuang directly acted as an outsider.

The eighth son Liu Yifeng was eliminated for him, but even if he was the only one left, he would have no advantage compared to the second son Liu Yihuan, because the military line of the Haihun Marquis Mansion stood behind the second son, and now in the troubled times of Great Peace, he had no advantage.

It's coming soon, which means whoever owns the army has the right to speak. Let's not talk about when the general trend of the world will change? Just looking at the current internal situation of the Haihun Hou Mansion, it is destined that the sea will eventually be decided by force.

The ownership of the position of Hunhou... Therefore, Liu Yiyong now urgently needs foreign aid, and this foreign aid is not easy to find. First of all, the foreign aid he finds must be strong enough to help him reverse the defeat. After all, he generally lacks strength.

The investor also dare not take the risk of offending the future "Hai Hun Hou" to make this kind of investment. Secondly, he must ensure the reliability of this powerful enough foreign aid, which must be reliable at critical moments... However,

When it comes to this point, it has returned to the beginning. Even if such foreign aid does appear, they will choose to support Liu Yifeng instead of him. The reason has been mentioned before. Lao Ba controls public opinion and has a certain foundation. Support

Lao Ba is more labor-saving; Lao Ba also has a lot of tails and is easier to control.

Faced with such harsh conditions, Mu Qiuhuang fully meets the conditions. First, he is the prince of Beiyu, so if no big changes happen, he will naturally inherit the position of Beiyuhou and possess the thirty-year title of Beiyu.

An army of ten thousand tigers and wolves. This is in line with the first rule that foreign aid must have strong strength. Second, Mu Qiuhuang lit the Biliu boat on the Bahe River to send him a fireworks display. This is equivalent to giving Liu Yifeng a gift on his way forward.

Digging a big hole and erecting a big stone also showed Mu Qiuhuang's reliability. Mu Qiuhuang's doing this was tantamount to announcing that he could not choose the eighth child. As for the second child? To choose or not to choose

It doesn't make much sense...because the second child doesn't need external help.

Therefore, it is Liu Yiyong who wants Mu Qiuhuang at this time, not Mu Qiuhuang who wants Liu Yiyong. If Mu Qiuhuang, a powerful foreign aid, is lost, then Liu Yiyong's current situation alone

You will definitely not be able to get that position if you are strong enough. But Mu Qiuhuang is different. For him, this matter is nothing more than an investment.

…

…

Liu Yiyong suppressed his smile, and said to Mu Qiuhuang with a serious face: "Mr. Mu, since you and I can get together here today, we must have reached a preliminary consensus in some places. In this case, Liu Yiyong

So I stopped hiding it and got straight to the point."

When Mu Qiuhuang heard this, the smile on her face did not diminish, but there was real joy in her eyebrows. She gently put down the tea cup and said to Liu Yiyong: "Straight to the point? I like this. In fact, I am also one from the bottom of my heart.

I like people who get straight to the point, so if Mr. Liu has any thoughts in his mind, please speak up."

"In that case, I will tell you directly."

Liu Yiyong looked at Mu Qiuhuang and asked calmly: "How will Mr. Mu help me? What kind of reward do you want from me?"

Mu Qiuhuang looked at Liu Yiyong and found that he was asking this question very seriously. She was very satisfied with his attitude and said directly to him: "You ask me how to help you? Then I will tell you.

, I am a very generous person to my friends. Since I have decided to help you, I will naturally ask for money and money and people for others... In a word, whatever you need, as long as I can give it, I can give it unconditionally.

promise you."

Liu Yiyong was not overjoyed when he heard this, but frowned slightly, looked at Mu Qiuhuang deeply and said: "I hope Mr. Mu can understand that I am only cooperating with Mr. Mu, not seeking refuge.

Mr. Mu, although I, Liu Yiyong, am not talented, I will not make puppets for others just for the sake of being a marquis. Besides, if I really do this, I am afraid I will not be worthy of sitting in that position anymore."

Mu Qiuhuang laughed loudly when he heard this and said: "Young Master Liu is quite honest, but I think Mr. Liu has misunderstood. Even if I am arrogant, I dare not say that I have manipulated the House of Haihun Marquis and let Marquis Haihun be my puppet."

idea.”

Liu Yiyong looked at Mu Qiuhuang with a puzzled look on his face. He was silent for a while and then asked slowly: "Then what kind of reward does Mr. Mu want to get from me?"

Mu Qiuhuang spread her hands and said, "There's no rush. We'll wait until you sit where you want to sit."

"Mr. Mu, let's set out the conditions first! I still like to talk everything upfront." Liu Yiyong continued.

"That's it! Then I have to think about it carefully."

Mu Qiuhuang muttered to himself, looked into Liu Yiyong's eyes, and did not answer immediately. Instead, he grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the plate and started to crack them.

The crisp sound of the melon seed shells exploding rang in their ears.

Liu Yiyong didn't say anything when he saw this, he just looked at Mu Qiuhuang quietly, waiting for his answer.

Soon, Mu Qiuhuang finished crushing the melon seeds in his hand and reached out to grab a handful in the plate. However, this time he only knocked down three seeds before stopping. Mu Qiuhuang threw the remaining melon seeds in his hand into the plate again.

Then he picked up the towel on the table and wiped his hands, picked up the teacup and rinsed his mouth, and then said loudly: "When Mr. Liu asked me what I wanted in return, I told him that I didn't want anything in return."

Liu Yiyong smiled and said, "So, you lied to him."

Mu Qiuhuang raised his eyebrows when he heard this, thought for a moment and said: "If it scares Mr. Liu that I don't make any conditions? Then I will make one! My request is that if one day in the future I need

When I ask for help from Young Master Liu, I hope that Young Master Liu can also give me unconditional support like I treat you today."

Liu Yiyong looked at Mu Qiuhuang in surprise when he heard this. After confirming that Mu Qiuhuang was not joking, he said leisurely: "Even if I promise you now, if one day in the future, I violate today's agreement again,

What should you do?"

Mu Qiuhuang laughed loudly when he heard this and said: "Just based on your words, I can conclude that you are a gentleman. Don't gentlemen always keep their word?"
