Chapter 542: Revealed
Late at night, as cold as water.
Ouyang Qianyu covered Qin Huiyin with a blanket, looked at her drunken appearance, and said to Puyang Qiubai beside him: "My lord, I will take good care of her. You go back and rest first! You have been working day and night during this period. If you don't rest well, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on for long. You are our backbone. If something happens to you, our Wuxiang League will soon become a mess. By then, we will be like headless flies, and we will only become lambs to be slaughtered by the court."
"Tomorrow you go out of the valley and see if those people have left. Be careful not to get discovered. If the people chasing her have left, get her out of the valley as soon as possible."
"My lord really cares about Yinyin."
"We are in murky waters, and we can't take care of ourselves, so why bother dragging her into it?"
"Why did Congfeng do this?"
"First, it's selfish, and second, ..." Puyang Qiubai looked at Qin Huiyin and said helplessly, "She is very valuable."
"Ah?" Ouyang Qianyu was stunned.
"Don't underestimate her because she looks innocent. She is rich enough to rival a country. She also has a fiancé who has both connections and wealth. Her brother is also a man of character. According to the intelligence that just came in, he made great contributions on the border and has now been promoted to a higher rank."
Ouyang Qianyu looked at Qin Huiyin again, and felt that the girl in front of her was not only pretty, but also shining with gold all over.
The Wuxiang Alliance is short of money.
It turned out that Zhuge Congfeng brought back a lump of gold.
"You stay here and watch over her tonight. Call me if you need anything."
"yes."
Puyang Qiubai walked out of the room and saw Zhuge Congfeng still drinking from the wine pot. He said calmly, "Why are you drinking alone?"
"You're addicted to alcohol. Now that you've started drinking, you want to drink to your heart's content. Do you want to drink some more?" Zhuge Congfeng handed him another wine jug.
The next day, Qin Huiyin woke up with a headache.
Maner first served her some sobering soup and then massaged her head.
"Miss, you drank too much. Don't drink so much in the future. You will be the one who suffers."
"Who changed my clothes?" Qin Huiyin asked, "You?"
"No, it was Miss Qianyu." Maner said, "Miss Qianyu fed you hangover soup last night and stayed with you all night."
"Where is Qianyu? I want to go and thank her."
"She went out early in the morning and said she wouldn't be back until the evening."
"Then I can't play with her today."
"Master Feng said he would take you to the market later." Maner said, "Are you feeling better now, Miss? If you are, I will serve you breakfast."
"Well, pass it on!"
Qin Huiyin had breakfast and just went out when two men in black stood in front of her.
"Miss, someone wants to see you, please come with us."
"Who wants to see me? Does your lord know?"
Isn't Puyang Qiubai the top decision-maker here? Is there anyone else who wants to see her?
"You'll find out when you go there."
Maner pulled Qin Huiyin and said in a low voice, "They should be the lord's four masters."
"Four masters?" Qin Huiyin was puzzled. "Why do you want to see me?"
"I don't know either." Man'er said to the man in black, "My lord said that Miss Qin's whereabouts must be told to him. I will go and report to my lord."
"The masters just want to see Miss Qin, and they won't do anything to hurt her. There's no need to alarm the master. Miss Qin, this way."
Zhuge Congfeng strode over and said calmly, "She is not free."
"Master Zhuge, the masters just want to meet Miss Qin, and they have no other intentions."
"She won't stay here for long, so there's no need to get to know her." Zhuge Congfeng stood in front of Qin Huiyin. "You can tell the four masters that if you have any questions, just come to me. I brought her in, so I'll bear all the consequences."
"Excuse me." The two men in black left.
Zhuge Congfeng turned around and looked at Qin Huiyin: "Let's go, pick a horse, and ride to the market."
"I don't want to go." Qin Huiyin said, "Just do your thing!"
"Qin Huiyin..." Zhuge Congfeng called her. "We won't hurt you."
"Maybe!" Qin Huiyin turned and looked at him. "You brought me here not to reminisce about the past, right?"
"Guess what I want to do?"
"You want to overthrow the current court and avenge the noble families. You have people, but it is far from enough. It takes money to support these people, and what I lack the most is money. You want to borrow my financial resources."
"If that's the case, why don't I just talk to you about cooperation?"
"You know I won't agree. I'm just an ordinary businessman, managing tens of thousands of associates, and I have to think about them. No matter how corrupt the court is, it's not something a little girl like me should worry about. I'm lucky enough to protect the ones I care about, so how can I have the ambition to do anything else?"
"Why should I keep you here if you won't agree?"
"Some things don't need to be said so clearly, don't they?"
Of course he knew she would not agree now. However, he also knew that she was soft-hearted and loyal, and she had feelings for them.
"I know you are the creator of the military factory. A lot of military rations, military supplies, and improved weapons have been produced there. If you can help us draw the design, we will give you a first-class credit when our great cause is accomplished. How about you lend us some silver and repay us tenfold after the success?"
"Zhuge Congfeng, our friendship is not worth such a big risk. Why don't you ask Master Bai to discuss this deal with me?"
"Qiu Bai won't say that. He respects you very much and won't embarrass you. I'm different. Let me be the bad guy."
"You brought me here on your own initiative, hoping to make me your helper, either by providing military assistance or financial assistance, or at worst by using me to threaten my brother and fiancé and make them work for you. Their current status is good enough to make them good chess pieces."
"As expected, you have never been a stupid woman. You saw through everything but didn't point it out. You don't want to break up and have no chance to leave, right?"
"I wanted to continue playing dumb and see how long you were going to keep me locked up. If you really wanted to get rid of the people who were chasing you during my escape, you wouldn't have just been so weak. You did it on purpose to let me know that I was in danger and had no choice but to rely on you."
"Yinyin..." Puyang Qiubai stood not far away. "I have sent Qianyu out to get information. Once it is confirmed that those who are chasing you have left, I will send you out."
Zhuge Congfeng lowered his eyes.
"good."
"Congfeng, Yinyin doesn't want to go to the market today, don't disturb her, let her be quiet for a while." Puyang Qiubai said, "Go find those masters and tell them clearly not to cause trouble for Yinyin."
