Chapter 2673 First Love
Xue Huai'en had been standing at the door of the tent. Seeing her like this, he was a little at a loss for a moment and said, "What's wrong with this girl?"
"What else can I do?"
Murong Qiuming glanced at Song Zhiwen coldly and sneered, "Little girl, you've fallen in love for the first time, right?"
Xue Huai'en opened his eyes wide: "Really?"
"What do you think?"
"Xue Zhen came back and told me this, but I still didn't believe it. After all, this girl has always been arrogant—no, all she can see in her eyes are those wolves, and she never takes others seriously. I didn't expect that she would actually—"
At this point, he seemed a little bit unbelievable: "She really has feelings for that Li Bushan?"
Murong Qiuming did not answer immediately, but chuckled and glanced at Song Zhiwen out of the corner of his eye.
Said: "Are there any fake ones?"
“…”
"It's a pity that some people just stand by and watch, not even noticing that a good piece of meat has been snatched away by a wolf."
Although Xue Huai'en seemed a little slow about matters between men and women, he immediately reacted when he heard this and glanced at Song Zhiwen.
Under the candlelight, Song Zhiwen's face, which was already pale, became even paler.
He whispered, "Knowing the question."
“…”
Song Zhiwen didn't say anything, his eyes were fixed, as if he was lost in thought.
After a long while, he finally came back to his senses, looked up at the two people in front of him, and said "hmm".
"snort!"
Murong Qiuming had a look of disappointment on his face and sneered, "What are you still thinking about? People are almost gone."
Xue Huai'en immediately said: "Well, that's not what I meant."
“…”
"I don't think that person has any interest in Jiaojiao... in this regard. It might not work out."
"You know what?"
Murong Qiuming smiled and said, "In this world, it's easy for a woman to pursue a man. Even the toughest man can't stand the gentleness of the land, and his bones will soften."
“…”
"Besides, given the current situation, Li Bushan has been placed under house arrest. If we really find any clues that he killed Uncle Cheng and identify him as the murderer, he will be doomed."
“…”
"In this situation, why doesn't he turn his attention to Jiaojiao?"
“…”
"Only that silly girl Jiaojiao still misses him in her heart."
The more Murong Qiuming spoke, the deeper the wrinkles between Song Zhiwen's eyebrows became.
He clenched his fists and said in a deep voice, "Don't talk about this."
Murong Qiu Ming glanced at him and immediately closed his mouth, only slightly curling the corners of his lips, revealing an almost evil smile on his face.
He was born with a high nose and deep eyes, and his handsome appearance was a little evil.
Such a smile makes people feel cold.
Song Zhiwen didn't look at him, but frowned slightly, lowered his head and thought for a long time, then raised his head and said softly: "Okay, let's not talk about this for now."
“…”
After saying that, he looked at Murong Qiuming and said, "Qiuming, you said you had something to say tonight, and you even called Huai En here. What is it?"
Murong Qiuming said, "I want to discuss with you about returning to White Dragon City."
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, Song Zhiwen was startled: "Return to Bailong City?"
"good,"
Murong Qiuming said, "Let me be honest. My family and I have always disagreed with surrendering the city. There's still no clear position on the situation in Baihu City in the Neng Kingdom, but on the Yan Kingdom side, they killed one of our family heads before we even started negotiations."
“…”
"With such a tyrannical emperor, do you really want to hand over Bailong City, and even the lives and property of so many people in the city, to him?"
“…”
"I tell you, I can't agree to that."
“…”
"I advise you to be more clear-headed. If we really surrender the city, open the gates, and let the Yan Kingdom's army enter Bailong City, perhaps Uncle Cheng's fate will be the fate of all of us!"
“…”
"So, I suggest you don't stay any longer, let alone go to Handongwei."
“…”
"Let's go back to Bailong City. Of course, we have to take Li Bushang back to the Cheng family to deal with him. After all, he's their patriarch, and his death shouldn't be in vain."
Song Zhi asked, "If that's the case, then the Emperor of Yan will declare war on us."
"Let's fight. Are you afraid of him?"
Murong Qiuming said, "You all know that during this war between the Emperor of Neng and the King of Nanli, the Emperor of Yan didn't send troops despite such a good opportunity, but instead tried to curry favor with both sides. I think this man is just a mediocre person, so there's no need to be afraid of him."
Song Zhi asked, "You can't say that. I think the Emperor of Yan is not a simple person."
“…”
"This person is very cunning and shrewd. Going up against someone like him, and against the power of an entire nation, I don't think we in White Dragon City will be able to gain any advantage."
“…”
"If White Tiger City attacks us later, we will be attacked from both sides and there will be no peace."
Murong Qiuming said, "If that day ever comes, it would be better to offer the city to King Arislan of Nanli rather than to the Yan Kingdom."
“…”
"At least, Arslan won't go back on his word and send someone to assassinate us."
Song Zhi asked, "Qiu Ming, this is still too hasty. Besides, there is really no concrete evidence to prove that Uncle Cheng was killed by Li Bushan. It is inevitable that we will make a wrong judgment if we just conclude that they killed someone."
"You still think he's innocent?"
Murong Qiuming sneered and glanced at him, saying, "Jiaojiao is young and naive, and she blindly believed in that guy. How could you be like this too?"
Upon hearing this, Song Zhiwen's face darkened again.
He sighed softly and lowered his head in silence.
Seeing him like this, Murong Qiuming looked up at Xue Huai'en again and said, "Huai'en, what do you think?"
"ah?"
"Let me ask you, what do you think about returning to Bailong City?"
"I--"
Xue Huai'en looked at Murong Qiuming, then at Song Zhiwen, hesitating and unable to speak.
Murong Qiuming said, "I know that your Xue family has always supported the surrender of the city, especially your eldest lady. But you have to understand that now that someone has died, and it's Uncle Cheng, this is no longer something we younger generations can decide."
“…”
"In my opinion, we should take Li Bushan back first, and then we can discuss how to deal with him."
“…”
"What do you think?"
Xue Huai'en frowned. Murong Qiu Ming had almost finished speaking and he had nothing to say.
After a long silence, he said, "Zhiwen, what do you think?"
In this way, it seems that the decision-making power is still in Song Zhiwen's hands.
