Chapter 515: Scholars Meet Soldiers and Conditions

On the morning of the second day, because Mei Changsu was coming, Suyou Qiu Yuan did not go anywhere today, but waited for his arrival in her own house.

Mei Changsu did not let him wait and soon brought Fei Liu to the residence of Marquis Wenyuan. Qiu Yuan did not go to the door to greet them.

Mei Changsu knew that this was Qiu Yuan expressing his dissatisfaction with him, so he didn't care. After all, face was not important to him.

Soon Mei Changsu arrived outside the study. After arriving there, Fei Liu was stopped outside. Fei Liu refused at first, but since Mei Changsu spoke, he stayed outside and waited.

After Mei Changsu entered the study, he saw Qiu Yuan sitting behind the table. Qiu Yuan naturally saw him at this time, but he did not try to show off his power.

Instead, he said directly, "Are you here? Since you are here, then take a seat. If you haven't made up your mind, I can give you some time to think about it slowly. How about that?"

After hearing this, Mei Changsu simply bowed and then sat down unceremoniously.

"Thank you for your kindness, Commander Qiu. I appreciate it, but it's not necessary. Actually, there's nothing to think about. After all, if you walk by the river often, you'll get your shoes wet."

"My plan just failed this time. Since it failed, I have to admit it. Tell me your conditions and see if I can accept them." Mei Changsu said directly

"Haha, you are quite open-minded, but my brother almost died this time. What price do you think you should pay in order for me to let you go?" Qiu Yuan said directly.
"Haha, Commander Qiu, you should know what I want, so as long as it doesn't interfere with my business, I can agree to other conditions." Mei Changsu said directly.

"Haha, you are so straightforward. Then I won't be polite with you. I want your Jiangzuo League. How about it? Do you agree to this condition?" Qiu Yuan said directly
"What? Commander Qiu, did I hear you correctly? What did you say you wanted? The Jiangzuo League? Putting aside other things, just say that after I give it to you, you won't be worried?"

"Do you really dare to believe what I say? Do you really dare to believe me?" Mei Changsu said

"Haha, don't bother with this. As long as you agree, I will naturally have a way. Just tell me whether you agree or not. Don't worry about the rest." Qiu Yuan said directly
"Haha, I'm very curious, what exactly are you going to do? If you don't explain it to me clearly, I'm afraid I won't be able to agree to your condition." Mei Changsu said

"Hmm? Mei Changsu, have you forgotten the purpose of your visit today?" Qiu Yuan said coldly
"Of course I haven't forgotten, but since they trust me, I naturally cannot let them down. If I agree to you today, I will not be qualified to let them listen to me." Mei Changsu said

"Haha, interesting, really interesting. Well, then I will tell you what I want to do. The reason is very simple. I want to control the martial arts world and make it work for me."

"As for trusting you? I don't need to trust you, because your life is in my hands. If I want to kill you, the kids outside can't stop me."

"Of course, Meng Zhi is very powerful, but he can't always be watching you, right?" Qiu Yuan said
After hearing this, Mei Changsu didn't know what to do for a moment. He had thought of various possibilities before, but he had never thought of this one because it was too simple.

That's right, it was too simple. He hadn't encountered such a simple thing for many years. It was so simple that he had no room for calculation.

With his clever mind, he couldn't think of any solution for a while.

"Mei Changsu, I admit that you are very smart. If it comes to scheming, I am far from your opponent, but you forget that strength is the most important thing."

"I want to kill you, and no one can stop me, not even Meng Zhi. This is the reason. You have recruited many masters over the years, but they are nothing to me."

"You only have one choice today, and that is to agree to my request. My first mission for the Jiangzuo League is to integrate the Daliang underworld." Qiu Yuan said directly
"You, okay, I agree. After all, this will benefit us. But I'm curious about what you want to do?" Mei Changsu asked
"What should I do? Whatever you want me to do, I will do it. There are many things that don't need too many people to know, right? The more people know, the faster they die."

"Remember, I only give you half a year. If you can't do it within half a year, I will take action against you. I don't think that's what you want to see." Qiu Yuan said directly.
After hearing this, Mei Changsu knew there was no room for bargaining in this matter, so he didn't say anything.

"Okay, I've said everything I need to say. I think we'll have guests today, so I won't keep you here any longer. Remember what I said, within half a year, the Jiangzuo League will unify the martial arts world." Qiu Yuan said directly.
After hearing this, Mei Changsu just nodded, then stood up and said goodbye. Although Mei Changsu did not respond, Qiu Yuan was not worried at all.

Because a dying man who carries a blood feud will not give up, and as long as he does not leave the capital, won't he be able to have whatever he wants before he takes revenge?

Some things are complicated, but some things are very simple. For example, the current situation seems very simple to him. As for his own brother? Compared with controlling the Jiangzuo League, it is insignificant. Not to mention that he is not dead, even if he is dead, it is nothing.

At this time, Mei Changsu, who was sitting in the carriage, suddenly said, "Fei Liu, how big is the gap between you and that person just now? Who do you think is more powerful, him or Uncle Meng Zhi?"

"Fei Liu, I don't know, I haven't fought him, but I feel he is stronger." Fei Liu said
Mei Changsu's expression remained unchanged after hearing this, but he couldn't help but start to worry in his heart.

He knew Fei Liu's innocent heart. He never told lies. Since he thought Qiu Yuan was more powerful, it must be true.

That means that he was hiding his weakness when fighting Bailiqi before. Only this can explain everything.

But after making this guess, Mei Changsu did not feel any joy at all from discovering the secret. Instead, he felt even more troubled. After all, to deal with such a person, he had to use the crossbows in the army.

He also needs to be restricted in order to be defeated, but he can't do either of these two things now.

This also means that he has to fulfill the conditions he promised Qiu Yuan, that is, he has to unify the Daliang world within half a year. How can this not give him a headache?
But Qiu Yuan didn't have the heart to care about him at this time, because He Jingzhong and Prince Yu came again, so he naturally had to go to greet them, so he didn't have the heart to think about anything else.

After some pleasantries, they went straight into the study. Prince Yu sat down but did not speak. Instead, He Jingzhong spoke first. "Commander Qiu, my son was rude and had an argument with your brother. He was wrong. I'm here to apologize to you on his behalf. I will satisfy all your demands." He Jingzhong said directly.

"Sir He, these things are not complicated. I didn't intend to make a big fuss about it. Besides, you have already snatched His Highness away, so naturally I can't say anything."

"Now that my brother is lying in the red sleeves and your son has entered Jingzhao Prefecture, I think things have come to this point, and it's all right."

"But I have no idea how serious my brother's injury is, and this matter has caused a lot of uproar in the city, so I can't let this person go now." Qiu Yuan said
He Jingzhong was naturally dissatisfied after hearing this, and Prince Yu naturally knew He Jingzhong's dissatisfaction, so he said first, "Let me say a few words."

"This incident was nothing more than jealousy, but now the second son of the Qiu family is injured and hasn't woken up yet, so this is a big deal."

"As for your son, Lord He, he has always been arrogant and domineering. Now that he can stay in Jingzhao for a while, I think it is a good thing."

After hearing this, He Jingzhong was still dissatisfied, but since it was the prince who said it, he could only accept it, and Qiu Yuan was the same at this time.

After all, his brother was not dead. He just had some flesh wounds, so there was no need to make a big fuss. What he cared about most now was his own face.

He is getting married soon, and he cannot lose face at this time.

Lord He, I had your good son taught a lesson yesterday. It was a small punishment but a warning. I had been thinking of beating him for a few more days, but now that the prince has stepped forward, I will let it go.

"I'm making this clear today. Your son will return home when my brother gets better. This is my notice, not a negotiation." Qiu Yuan said directly.
After hearing this, the very respectful man's face turned ugly, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he sat there without saying a word. At this time, Prince Yu naturally couldn't let the situation become awkward.

"Okay, okay, now that everything has been brought to light, I think we should just leave it like this." Prince Yu said
After hearing this, neither of them said anything, except Qiu Yuan, who was content and kept silent, while He Jingzhong was holding his anger in his heart and said nothing.

"Your Highness, it's a good thing that you're here today. I have some news to tell you. Lou Zhijing has been smuggling black fire into Beijing on the official ship of the Ministry of User Affairs. His intentions are unclear." Qiu Yuan said directly
"Huh? What did you say? Bringing Black Fire into the capital? What is the prince going to do? Is he crazy?" Prince Yu said directly
"Your Majesty, I don't know about this. As you know, I have been busy with the wedding these days and don't know much about it. This news was also unexpected." Qiu Yuan said
"Well, I understand. Okay, Commander Qiu, I am sorry to bother you with today's affairs. Lord He and I will take our leave now." Prince Yu stood up and said.
After hearing this, Qiu Yuan naturally stood up and saw him off. As for He Jingzhong, he didn't want to stay here anymore, so he naturally stood up and left.

After seeing them off, Qiu Yuan went straight into his father's study.

"Are they all leaving? I heard that He Jingzhong had a gloomy face the whole time. What conditions did you propose to them?" Wen Yuanbo asked curiously.

"Father, it's nothing. I just told him that I will release his son when his second brother comes out of Red Sleeves safely." Qiu Yuan said directly
"What? He agreed to this condition? This is not like his style." Wen Yuanbo said

"Haha, father, if he had come here alone, I would certainly not agree. But who made him be so smart and choose to bring Prince Yu along as well?"

"Humph, he doesn't think about it carefully. Although Prince Yu respects him, it is precisely because of this that he will not help him in this matter. Instead, he will side with his son."

"After all, he is already tied to Prince Yu, so there is no possibility of him betraying me. In this case, Prince Yu will of course help me." Qiu Yuan said
"Son, you must be careful in the future. He Jingzhong is very sinister." Wen Yuanbo reminded him.

"Don't worry, father. I know the importance of my son. As long as his son is in my hands, he can't turn the tables. As long as I can get through this period of time and wait until I get married, what He Jingzhong, humph!" Qiu Yuan said
After hearing this, Wen Yuanbo nodded. Since his son knew the situation, he stopped talking and Qiu Yuan also left his father's study.

At this time, He Jingzhong had returned to the palace with Prince Yu, and the two were now in the study.

"Alright, alright. I know you're unhappy today, but who let your son hurt someone? The one lying on the red sleeves is Qiu Yuan's brother, not your son."

"This is the reason. Today's result is already very good. If I hadn't done this, your son would have ended up like Qiu Ze."

"You should be thankful that Qiu Yuan is getting married soon, so he doesn't want to make a big deal out of it. Otherwise, your good son will be dead or at least suffer a lot!"

"You should know who Qiu Yuan is going to marry and what her status is. I don't need to remind you, right?"

After hearing this, He Jingzhong still didn't say anything, but his attitude was obviously much better, and these Prince Yu could naturally see it.

"Alright, alright, let's end this matter here. Don't even think about going to Jingzhao Prefecture. I will send someone to Jingzhao Prefecture to say hello in a little while."

"Please take back all those little thoughts that you shouldn't have. Our key task right now is to find out why Lou Zhijing smuggled so much black fire into Beijing." Prince Yu said directly.
He Jingzhong did have some little thoughts in mind, but since Prince Yu said so, he knew it was impossible, so he focused on the real business.

At this time, the prince naturally also received this news.

"Hahaha, good, good, that's great. I want to see what Xiao Jinghuan will choose this time. Do you think we should help them?" The prince said happily.

"Your Highness, I think we can't do anything right now, because once we intervene, the situation is likely to change, and we might end up making things worse." Xie Yu said
"Well, if that's the case, then forget it. It's just a pity that such a fun thing can't even be participated in. It's really a pity." The prince said
"Your Highness, this is not a pity. After all, as long as they are not in harmony, it is good news for us, isn't it?" Xie Yu said again
