Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 143 A mutually beneficial partnership

Hearing Zhao Mu's laughter, Wang Yuyan felt quite embarrassed. A blush suddenly appeared on her fair face. If there was a crack in the ground now, she would want to crawl into it.

Zhao Mu laughed and said: "Hahahaha, I'm sorry, Mr. Murong, I'm rude. Hahaha."

Then Zhao Mu rearranged his demeanor, and after he regained his composure, he said: "Miss Wang, don't worry too much. Although I like beauty, Miss Wang is still alive as if that person was alive." When Zhao Mu said this, Mu Wanqing couldn't help but turn around and roll her eyes at him. "But the kiss I'm asking for today is really not you, Miss Wang." After saying this, Zhao Mu couldn't help but laugh.

Wang Yuyan's face was completely red at this time, like a ripe little apple. Fortunately, there are no outsiders here, otherwise, she would be really embarrassed to see others. Then he sat down again, lowered his head and stopped talking.

After listening to Zhao Mu's words, Murong Fu murmured in his heart. But then Murong Fu understood Zhao Mu's goal, but he still pretended to be unclear and asked: "Oh? Murong's family is very small. Murong Fu has no sisters. If we talk about the closer ones, he only has his cousin Yu Yan. One person. Since she is not my cousin Yuyan, I wonder who Mr. Zhao wants to kiss?"

Zhao Mu looked outside the room and said, "A'Zhu!"

Hearing Zhao Mu's call, A'Zhu also walked in shyly. Abi, on the other hand, bent over and hid outside the house to peek.

After A'Zhu walked into the house, Zhao Mu also stood up, raised his hands and said, "Mr. Murong, I met Miss A'Zhu several times, and we fell in love. Therefore, Zhao Mu came here this time to meet Mr. Murong. I'm asking for a favor, and I want to give A'Zhu her freedom and let her stay with me from now on. Zhao is very grateful."

After listening to Zhao Mu's words, Wang Yuyan's blushing face suddenly darkened.

Wang Yuyan secretly glanced at A'Zhu beside her. She is quite unhappy now.

Before, Wang Yuyan was a little embarrassed because she was "self-motivated", but when she heard that Zhao Mu did not mention her as a young lady, but wanted to redeem her as a maid, A'Zhu, Wang Yuyan felt very unhappy for some reason. Wang Yuyan also blamed Zhao Mu for being "blind" and "ignorant" in her heart.

After Murong Fu confirmed his guess, he couldn't help but smile. He said: "Haha, although A'Zhu and A Bi are my maids, they have grown up in the Murong family since childhood, and they are really just like sisters. The Murong family has never treated them as outsiders. Since A'Zhu and Zhao If the young master likes you, I won't stop him."

Murong Fu said these words very beautifully, and the meaning of his words was more to knock A'Zhu, telling her that even if she gets married, she should not forget that she was raised by the Murong family, and the Murong family treated her well.

When faced with Zhao Mu asking for A'Zhu, Murong Fu was not reluctant to give up. As long as he could achieve his wish, he would not hesitate to send Wang Yuyan away, let alone A'Zhu.

He can make friends with just one A'Zhu, or put an informant next to someone in the court. This business is very profitable for him.

But now Zhao Mu only wants A'Zhu, and A Bi is not included. This is simply too cheap for Murong Fu.

When Zhao Mu saw that Murong Fu had agreed, he quickly thanked him and said, "Thank you Mr. Murong for your high righteousness. I will not treat A'zhu badly." Murong Fu just nodded with a smile when he heard this.

Zhao Mu sat down and said, "Since Mr. Murong agreed to the first thing, let's talk about the second thing. A'Zhu once told me before that Mr. Murong asked Mr. Hua from the Ministry of War to privately purchase military supplies and weapons. Isn’t it true that he defrauded you of five hundred thousand taels of silver?”

Hearing that Zhao Mutu had seen him, Murong Fu became vigilant again. Murong Fu believed that Zhao Mu's martial arts was not inferior to him, or even superior to him.

Zhao Mu was a member of the imperial court, and private purchase of military supplies was a serious crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan no matter which dynasty or generation he belonged to. Even though Murong Fu could not detect Zhao Mu's malicious intent, he could not help but make preparations to take action.

Murong Fu asked at this time: "So, Mr. Zhao is here to question Master Murong Fuxing on behalf of the imperial court?"

Hearing this, Zhao Mu also noticed the unkindness in Murong Fu's words. He shook his head, waved his hands and said, "No, no, no! Mr. Murong is worrying too much. I did not come to Mr. Murong today to inquire about the murder of Mr. Hua. Besides, this case belongs to the Ministry of Punishment and the Dali Temple Supervisor and has nothing to do with me. I don’t need to do anything extra. Besides, I came here today to make friends with Mr. Murong."

After hearing this, Murong Fu relaxed his guard a little.

Zhao Mu glanced at A'Zhu beside him, and then said: "I have already known what Mr. Murong wants in his heart. Mr. Murong does not need to be so secretive. If I want to report to the court, it is not me and Wan who are here today. No, it's the Imperial City Division, a large number of masters from Longwei. There are also the town's officers and soldiers and the naval warships on the Yangtze River. And today I came to befriend Mr. Murong because I don't want Mr. Murong to stray in by mistake. Misguided. If Master Murong obeys my arrangement, I can ensure that Master Murong achieves his wish."

Murong Fu said: "So Mr. Zhao is here to win over me today?"

Zhao Mu shook his head again and said, "It's not about wooing, to be precise, it's about 'cooperation'."

"Cooperation?" Murong Fu murmured as he couldn't believe what Zhao Mu said.

Zhao Mu nodded and said: "Yes, it's cooperation. We all benefit from each other and get what we need."

Murong Fu looked at Wang Yuyan next to him, then at A'Zhu, and then smiled and said: "Haha, I heard A Bi guessed before that Mr. Zhao seems to be a member of the imperial family, while Murong Fu is just a reckless person. I really don't know what's the matter. You and Mr. Zhao can each take what you need."

Zhao Mu also smiled and said: "Mr. Murong is too modest. I have always judged people accurately. Since I personally came to see Mr. Murong, then Mr. Murong has the capital and interests to cooperate with me. Well, as for how you and I can cooperate, you How much profit do we each make? This is the third thing we need to discuss, and we will discuss it in detail at the end."

"Now let's talk about the second thing in front of me. This second thing is to help Mr. Murong make up for the shortfall of silver. I know the location of a treasure, which is an ownerless sum left by the previous dynasty. This treasure has given me a lot of money. It can not only make up for Mr. Murong’s previous shortfall of silver. It can even save a lot of savings for future purchases of grain and grass and military pay. I don’t know what Mr. Murong can do. interested in?"

After hearing this, Murong Fu replied: "Of course I am interested, but there is something I don't know about. Since Mr. Zhao knows the source of the treasure, and with his ability, he can enjoy it all by himself, why should he come and share it equally with me? Could it be that this trip is extremely dangerous? , cannot Mr. Zhao do it alone? Or is it inconvenient for Mr. Zhao to come forward, and it must be done by a charlatan like me?"

Although Murong Fu was very interested in the money, he was not a three-year-old child. He would believe whatever others said, so he couldn't help but have more doubts in his heart.

After all, people are selfish. He doesn't believe that anyone would leave hundreds of thousands of taels of wealth and give it to others. At least he himself is not so generous.

If Zhao Mu didn't give him a convincing reason for mutual benefit, Murong Fu would not easily believe everything Zhao Mu said.
