Chapter 542 Tell the truth
Late at night, it’s as cold as water.
Ouyang Qianyu covered Qin Huiyin with a blanket and looked at her drunken appearance. She said to Puyang Qiubai beside her, "My Lord, I will take good care of her. You should go back and rest first! You have been working day and night recently. If you don't get a good rest, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on for much longer. 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, 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, you really care about Yinyin."
"We're in murky waters, and we can't take care of ourselves, so why bother dragging her into this?"
"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's incredibly wealthy and has a fiancé who has both connections and wealth. Her brother is also quite a character. According to the latest intelligence, he's made significant contributions on the border and has been promoted several levels higher."
Ouyang Qianyu looked at Qin Huiyin again, and felt that the little 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're drinking, you want to enjoy it to the fullest. Do you want to drink some more?" Zhuge Congfeng handed him another wine jug.
The next day, Qin Huiyin woke up with a slight headache.
Maner first served her some sobering soup and then massaged her head.
"Miss, you've drunk too much. Don't drink so much in the future. You'll be the one who suffers."
"Who changed my clothes?" Qin Huiyin asked, "You?"
"No, it was Miss Qianyu." Maner said, "Miss Qianyu fed you sobering soup last night and stayed by your side 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 Congfeng said he would take you to the market later." Maner said, "Are you feeling better now, Miss? If you are, I will serve breakfast."
"Well, pass it on!"
Qin Huiyin had breakfast and just walked out of the door 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 know 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, and then she 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 him."
"The gentlemen just want to see Miss Qin. They won't do anything to harm her. There's no need to alarm the Lord. Miss Qin, please come this way."
Zhuge Congfeng strode over and said calmly, "She's busy."
"Master Zhuge, the masters just want to get to know Miss Qin, and there is no other intention."
"She won't be here 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 they have any questions, they can come to me. I brought her in, and I will 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 anymore." Qin Huiyin said, "Just go do your thing!"
"Qin Huiyin..." Zhuge Congfeng called her. "We won't hurt you."
"Maybe!" Qin Huiyin turned and looked at him. "You didn't bring me here to reminisce about the past, did you?"
"Then guess what I want to do?"
"You want to overthrow the current court and avenge your family. You have the people, but it's far from enough. Supporting these people requires financial resources, 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 employees, and I have to think about them. No matter how corrupt the court is, it's not something a little woman like me should worry about. I'm lucky enough to protect the ones I care about. How could 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, do they?"
Of course he knew she wouldn't agree now. However, he also knew she was soft-hearted and valued friendship, and she had feelings for them.
"I know you're the creator of the military factory. It produces a lot of military rations, military supplies, and improved weapons. If you can help us draw the blueprints, we'll give you a first-class merit when we complete our project. How about you lend us some money and repay us tenfold after we're done?"
"Zhuge Congfeng, our friendship isn't worth the risk. Why don't you talk to Master Bai about this deal?"
"Qiu Bai wouldn't say that. He respects you very much and won't embarrass you. I'm different, so let me be the bad guy."
"You brought me here on your own initiative, hoping to make me your helper, either by providing military aid or financial assistance, or at the very least, by using me to threaten my brother and fiancé, so that they can be used as your instruments. Their current status makes them good pawns."
"As expected, you have never been a foolish woman. You saw through everything but didn't point it out. You didn't want to break up and have no chance to leave, right?"
"I originally wanted to continue playing dumb and see how long you were going to keep me locked up. If you really wanted to shake off those people who were chasing me during my escape, you wouldn't have 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've sent Qianyu out to gather information. Once they're sure those chasing you have left, I'll send you out."
Zhuge Congfeng lowered his eyes.
"it is good."
"Congfeng, Yinyin doesn't want to go to the market today. Don't disturb her. Let her be alone for a while." Puyang Qiubai said, "Go find those masters and tell them not to cause trouble for Yinyin."
