My surname is Wang, my neighbor Wu Dalang

Chapter 164 Song Jiang Asks to See Wang Lin
The summer banquet ended with Murong Wan'er tricking Qingzhou and other literati from six states. Therefore, the names of Jingshi Murong's family and Yannangui Trading Company also became popular in Qingzhou.

All the literati dispersed, and seeing that Wang Lin did not leave, nor did Murong Wan'er, Li Qingzhao smiled lightly and said, "Master, Mrs. Murong, I, the hostess of the Zhao family, are ashamed, but I have no money to invite the two of you to eat. Where's the wine?"

Murong Wan'er chuckled lightly: "Wan'er has made all the preparations, and ordered the food and drink from the most famous Juyi Building in Qingzhou, but I don't know if the envoy and layman Yi'an can honor me and have a drink with a slave, a merchant girl. .”

Wang Lin smiled lightly: "If that's the case, let's disturb Mrs. Murong for a drink."

Wang Lin knew that his meeting with Murong Wan'er would eventually come, and there were some things that should be discussed.

Since the Murong family has worked so hard for such a long time and let Murong Wan'er chase her all the way to Qingzhou, if she just keeps avoiding her, I'm afraid something will happen eventually.

It's better to open the skylight and speak plainly.

What happened today is not so much that Murong Wan'er used Li Qingzhao and Wen Yan to achieve the purpose of making the Murong family famous and getting close to Wang Lin, but it is better to say that Wang Lin's long-sleeved and good dance used Murong Wan'er to test the bottom line of the Qingzhou gentry.

Li Qingzhao sighed softly: "Your envoy eats wine and banquets with me, so you know that I am a married woman after all, isn't your envoy not afraid of people's words? Or, are you not afraid of your wife's heart?"

Wang Lin chuckled: "Lay Yi'an and I are innocent and have no privacy at all. You must say nothing to others, and you must not be afraid of what others say. You and I make friends through literature, why should we care about those gossips? What's more, today Lady Murong is also present."

Li Qingzhao raised his eyebrows: "Forget it. I, Li Yi'an, have always behaved upright and sat upright, and never cared about those rumors. If Shi Jun is not afraid of damage to the official reputation, what should I be afraid of?"

Murong Wan'er said secretly: You, Li Qingzhao, are not afraid of gossip, but you are afraid that your husband Zhao Mingcheng will not be able to bear it.

Looking at the ambiguity between Wang Lin and Li Qingzhao, it seems that there is some inexplicable ambiguity. From this, it can be seen that the statement that Wang Lin is a womanizer is probably not a lie.

So Murong Wan'er ordered her servants to hold a banquet in the back garden of the Zhao Mansion.

The three of them chatted, and Li Qingzhao was basically a foil. Seeing the two of them coming and going and gradually discussing secret topics that were not suitable for him to participate in, Li Qingzhao just found a pretense and went back to his room to rest.

It's just that Li Qingzhao was still restless when she returned to the room, and Wang Lin's clear and handsome face kept appearing in front of her eyes.

She suddenly couldn't help being startled, did she really have feelings for him that she shouldn't have?

She blushed, feeling ashamed.

……

"Since there is no one around, Wan'er has something to say."

Murong Wan'er said lightly: "The cooperation between my Murong family and the envoy is a win-win situation, and the biggest beneficiary is the envoy and not my Murong family. Don't you know that?"

Wang Lin's face remained unchanged: "Really?"

Murong Wan'er asked back: "Isn't it?"

"Then I'm surprised. Murong's business has always been about pennies and bahts, and profit is the most important thing. How can you give me Wang Lin for nothing?"

"That's naturally a long-term investment, looking at the envoy's future."

Murong Wan'er got up slowly: "The envoy said that my Murong family's origin is unknown, but it is actually an excuse. I, the Murong family, are well known, and I belong to the Yan royal family, but this happened hundreds of years ago. Does the envoy still think that I Does the Murong family still have the heart to build a country?"

"To be honest, I'm worried."

Murong Wan'er smiled: "Even so, so what? Just like what the envoy said just now, the world is big enough to accommodate all the people in the world, so can't it accommodate our Murong family?"

"Miss Murong is honest. However, I will never betray the interests of the country. This world is big enough to accommodate the world's people, but your Murong family has been in decline for hundreds of years. It is tantamount to dreaming .At least, on my side, Wang Lin, you can't achieve your goal."

Murong Wan'er was silent for a while, and then said: "My lord, in fact, I don't know what the future holds. But at least for now, the Murong family has no such ambitions. The Murong family just wants to find a tree that can shelter from the wind when the troubled times are approaching." There is absolutely no extravagant hope for a big tree of rain."

"Even if the descendants of the Murong family are ambitious in the future, is it possible that a mere Murong family will be able to stir up big waves just because the king can do it?"

"I know that Shijun is eager to train the army for nothing more than to fight against gold in the future. Jinren are invincible in iron cavalry. If Shijun has no elite cavalry under his command, he can't stop Jinren from invading the Central Plains. Therefore, this is Shijun's greatest interest. I The Murong family has [-] war horses in the three places, and to show my sincerity, I have sent pigeons to deliver the [-] war horses into the territory of the Song Dynasty through several channels in Yanyun."

"It must have entered the land of Hebei at this time. If the envoy is still looking forward and backward, hesitating, and doesn't make a decisive move, I think it won't be long before these horses fall into the hands of the Zhong family army."

Wang Lin's complexion changed, he suddenly stood up, and after pondering for a long time, he said: "Ms. Murong is really extraordinary, you are so good at playing with retreat as advance, it is really hard for me to refuse."

Murong Wan'er smiled: "Since the Song Dynasty, I, the Murong family, have been keeping a low profile and managing for many generations. I can be said to be rich enough to rival a country. But I, the Murong family, know very well that no amount of wealth can withstand the fire of war. Without a backing, The Murong family probably won't be able to survive the next few decades."

"I, the Murong family, know the Jin people very well. Once the Central Plains falls, the Murong family can only be destroyed. Therefore, in the eyes of the envoy, the Murong family has ulterior motives, but in fact it is just a helpless self-protection."

"I still say the same thing, you don't get paid for nothing, what do you need me to do? It is absolutely impossible to monopolize the Denglai sea trade."

Murong Wan'er sighed: "It's impossible to monopolize, then give me the Murong family some room for preferential treatment. In the future, it will not be a problem for you and me to cooperate and control overseas countries. This will be beneficial to the envoy Harmful!"

Wang Lin laughed.

No matter how scheming Murong Wan'er was, she finally accidentally exposed her flaws and cheating feet.

What they fancy is not only the sea trade, but also the outlet of Denglai. The key is to accumulate strength and achieve the goal of controlling overseas islands.

"There are islands overseas with abundant products. If the Murong family can control one of them, it will not be a problem to establish a country overseas in the future, right? Mrs. Murong!" Wang Lin said with a half-smile.

Murong Wan'er's expression changed, and then she sighed quietly: "Everything cannot escape the eyes of the emperor, Wan'er has this idea, but it's just a imagination..."

"Forget it, although your Murong family is not Han Chinese, you are also of my Chinese ethnicity. If the time comes in the future, it is not impossible for me to help your Murong family gain a foothold overseas, but this matter has to be considered in the long run..." Wang Lin said slowly .

Murong Wan'er was overjoyed: "That's it, thank you Shijun for your tolerance and willingness to give me a way out of Murong's life!"

"Don't be happy, this matter is not as simple as talking about it. However, since you and I are honest with each other today, we have reached a tacit understanding."

Murong Wan'er nodded: "Even if I, the Murong family, use all the power of the whole family, I will help Jun strengthen the army to herd horses and compete in the Central Plains! But no matter how good a contract is, it is not as good as a marriage, and please ask Jun to accept Wan'er as a concubine. So that the entire Murong clan can feel at ease..."

Wang Lin fell silent.

This kind of exchange of interests is actually normal. If you can accept Murong Wan'er, you can get Murong's financial support. The key is to get his most urgently needed horse. Wang Lin thinks it is quite worth it.

But this Murong Wan'er was too scheming and calculated, after several rounds of confrontation between the two sides, although the matter was still the same, Murong's real goal was forced out, Wang Lin was still full of vigilance.

She was about to enter his inner house, and he was afraid that women like Han Yan would be manipulated by her without realizing it.

"Why, Shijun still can't trust Wan'er?"

No matter how eclectic Murong Wan'er was, no matter how much she cared about the great family business, she was still a daughter. Wang Lin never allowed her to ask for marriage in person.

Wang Lin sighed: "In exchange, it is not impossible for you and me to get married, but I am worried that once a woman like you enters my house, it will cause disturbances and make my house restless..."

Murong Wan'er did not hesitate: "Since this is the case, Shi Jun can make Wan'er a foreign residence! Wan'er doesn't ask for anything else, but only hopes that Shi Jun will allow Wan'er to give birth to an heir, so as to consolidate the in-law relationship between the Murong family and the Wang family. "

Wang Lin laughed lightly and stood up: "Miss Murong, you should think carefully about the marriage. I have something to say first, no matter whether we exchange benefits or not, even if it is just a formal relationship, as long as you become my Wang Lin's woman, That is not to be betrayed for life. I can understand that you consider the interests of the Murong family, but the premise is that the interests of the Wang family cannot be damaged, otherwise, I will destroy your Murong family."

"If you think clearly, you can come to the mansion to find me."

Wang Lin laughed and left.

Murong Wan'er's complexion was complicated, she sat on the grass and looked up at the clear blue sky. At this time, the summer wind was warm and the heaven and earth were warm, but Murong Wan's heart was full of coldness.

……

After a few days.

Wang Lin ordered Yue Fei to order [-] troops quietly, leave Qingzhou immediately, and go straight to Hebei under the guidance of Murong Wan'er.

He would never allow the [-] war horses brought in by the Murong family to fall into the hands of Hebei bureaucrats or breeders.

Just in case, he gave Yue Fei the gold medal bestowed by Zhao Ji, and ordered Yue Fei to bring [-] horses back to Qingzhou at all costs.

In the afternoon of that day, Song Jiang entered Huarong's mansion in a hurry, and not long after Huarong led him down to the Bohai County Duke's mansion, he begged to see Wang Lin.

Yan Qing bowed and said: "I would like to report to the envoy, the timely rain Song Gongming from Yuncheng County is asking to see you!"

A smile curled up on the corner of Wang Lin's mouth, and he thought to himself: Is this Song Jiang Hei Saburo finally here?Since he didn't go to join Chai Jin, but ran to his own Qingzhou, he must still have the idea of ​​being able to get his own asylum and start a new life as an official in Qingzhou.
