Chapter two hundred and thirty seventh negotiation and cooperation
When he arrived at the lobby, Lin Mo saw an old man nearly 60 years old and gray-haired standing in the hall, paced back and forth. Behind him were six practitioners holding swords. Their realm was not high, including two sword masters and four great swordsmen.
As soon as Lin Mo stepped into the lobby, the old man saw Lin Mo, hurriedly greeted Lin Mo respectfully, and said respectfully: "Murong Xian has seen Sect Master Lin and visited him early in the morning. It really disturbed Sect Master Lin."
"It's okay, the head of the Murong family, please sit down quickly."
Lin Mo smiled, walked to the main seat, drank a sip of tea handed over by the maid from the National Military Museum, and said, "I don't know what happened to the head of the Murong family who suddenly came to visit early in the morning, so I might as well say it."
Murong Xian was stunned at first, then bowed to Lin Mo, and said with a smile on his face: "Since Master Lin is talking like this, I will no longer hide it. I came here this morning for Qinglan."
"Queen Empress?" Lin Mo pretended to be puzzled, took a sip of tea and asked seriously: "I wonder what the head of the Murong family came for the Queen? Tell me, I'll listen."
Murong Xian hesitated again. He bowed to Lin Mo and said, "Then I said frankly. Qinglan has sent someone to inform me overnight, saying that she had already made a marriage with Sect Master Lin, but Situ Zhentian wants to ask Sect Master Lin to cancel the marriage today. I am here this time because I hope Sect Master Lin will not agree to Situ Zhentian."
Lin Mo was stunned and deliberately pretended to be stupid: "Where does the head of Murong's family say this? The child in the Queen's belly is the blood of Shen Bo. How could Shen Bo ask Xia to cancel the marriage? This is a confusing thing."
Now, Murong Xian knew that Lin Mo was really pretending to be stupid. He now knew that Lin Mo was waiting for his "tribute", but now it is not the time to "tribute", so he has to explain according to Lin Mo's words.
He sighed and Murong Xian said sadly: "Master Lin may not know anything. Situ Zhentian and Qinglan have long broken their feelings. Dongfang Yunji, who has always supported his favorite sister, has taken the position of queen!"
"So that's it, then I'll understand!"
The purpose has been achieved, and Lin Mo no longer deliberately pretended to be stupid, but he burned his own gossip soul and asked curiously: "Head of Murong, please ask me more about why the Queen and Shen Bo broke down, and what is the reason?"
Hearing Lin Mo asked about this, Murong Xian blushed and said with awkward smile: "It's really not to be hiding from the Sect Master Lin. First of all, Situ Zhentian has always despised Qinglan from a merchant family like my Murong family. It was because Qinglan had been in the palace for many years and had not been able to give birth to a child for Situ Zhentian. The Dongfang Yunji took the opportunity to make Situ Zhentian confused!"
"But isn't the Queen pregnant with Bo Shen's descendants now?" Lin Mo became puzzled again.
Hearing this, Murong Xian's face changed again and he said angrily: "It is now that Qinglan is pregnant with Situ Zhentian's child, Situ Zhentian wants to depose Qinglan's position as Queen Shen."
"So why?" Lin Mo became even more confused.
Before, Murong Qinglan could not be pregnant with his offspring, and Situ Zhentian wanted to depose Murong Qinglan, but Lin Mo could understand it, but now Murong Qinglan is pregnant, why does Situ Zhentian want to depose Murong Qinglan even more?
Really confused.
After drinking a sip of tea, suppressing his angry and aroused mind, a hint of coldness appeared in Murong Xian's eyes and said coldly: "Because Situ Zhentian suspected that the child with Qinglan's belly was not his."
As soon as these words were said, Lin Mo was stunned, but after thinking about it carefully, Lin Mo immediately understood the truth.
Murong Qinglan has not been pregnant for more than ten years after entering the palace. Now she is almost 40 years old but she is pregnant. Moreover, Situ Zhentian neglected Murong Qinglan for many years. After being drugged by Murong Qinglan, it is indeed doubtful here.
But Lin Mo knew that it was definitely not just Situ Zhentian who suspected Murong Qinglan had a cuckold for her, but that Murong Qinglan was a queen, but was born in a business family and had a low status, but he always dominated the position of queen and violated the interests of some people.
In the past, Situ Zhentian and Murong Qinglan had a very good relationship, but those people dared not say anything about this. Now that Situ Zhentian and Murong Qinglan had broken down, those people naturally jumped out and wanted to pull Murong Qinglan from the position of queen.
Just as Lin Mo was thinking about the reason, Murong Xian suddenly stood up and bowed to Lin Mo, begging: "Sect Master Lin, I only ask you not to cancel the marriage between children. As long as you agree, I, the Murong family, only Sect Master Lin, will follow you."
As he said that, Murong Xian clapped his palms and fell down. Seven or eight boxes were carried in by the servants and opened one by one. Then, four women dressed as maids, but were graceful and beautiful, walked in with graceful steps.
"Sect Master Lin, the total jewelry in these eight boxes is worth more than 200,000 gold leaves. I know that Sect Master Lin has not been waiting for maids to serve you this time. These four maids were specially invited by me to serve you."
Another beauty plan? This is really... my appetite for this sect leader!
Although this thought flashed through his mind, it was only a second turn. Lin Mo said seriously: "Master Murong, you understand what you mean. The money is collected, but the maid is not needed. You should take it back by yourself."
"Sect Master Lin..." Murong Xian was anxious.
What's wrong with this only collecting money but not someone? The money in the world looks the same. If Lin Mo refuses to admit it after receiving the money, then wouldn't the Murong family lose such a large amount of money in vain? This is the income of the Murong family in the past six months. If he refuses to admit it after receiving the money, where should Murong Xian go to reason?
But it’s different if you accept someone. This person is unique, and Murong Xian is not afraid of Lin Mo accepting the claim.
What Murong Xian was thinking, Lin Mo knew of course and immediately said, "The head of the Murong family, I went out this time and had a light car and a simple car. It is really inconvenient to bring the extra people around!"
Hearing this, Murong Xian understood in surprise, and a smile appeared on his face: "Sect Master Lin is inconvenient to bring him around, I will keep them. In the future, Sect Master Lin will come to Lanzhou to do this."
Lin Mo was stunned. This old man was too rude to misinterpret his meaning? I was refusing to refuse these four so-called maids to bring up what he wanted. He was better, and he understood it as helping me raise it first.
But I can't say that Murong Xian's understanding was wrong. If I made it clear, I guess Murong Xian's old face would not be able to carry it in front of him anymore, and I'm afraid he would have to go home.
If Murong Xian returns home after he makes a move, then I, Lin Mo, will soon be ruined!
After a moment of thought, Lin Mo smiled embarrassedly and said, "Let's talk about it, compared to this, the head of the Murong family, I am not unable to help you with the Murong family, but..."
Lin Mo did not continue to say anything, and at this time, Murong Xian became very smart. He looked at the guards he brought and the four maids. Those people also retreated sensibly.
Lin Mo also waved the rest of the people, and Xifeng Qiuyun still stayed here as usual.
"Master Lin, please tell me, as long as you are willing to help my Murong family, my Murong family can do it again, I Murong Xian will definitely agree." Murong Xian knew that the next scene was the main show, and the so-called jewelry beauty was just a starter.
Lin Mo sipped the tea lightly and started to think.
After a while, Lin Mo put down the teacup and said in a deep voice: "The head of the Murong family, you don't beat around the bush. I need 20,000 sets of protective gear specially made by the Murong family for war horses, and five craftsmen who can make war horse protective gear. The head of the Murong family rests with confidence and promise that the five will be returned in one year."
As soon as Lin Mo's words fell, Murong Xian was stunned.
Twenty thousand sets of special protective gear for war horses! The cost of building a special protective gear for war horses is ten gold leaves, and 200,000 sets is 200,000. This seems acceptable, but if you sell it, you will have at least a profit of 200,000 gold leaves!
And he also needs to build a war horse craftsman. Although this will be returned in a year, his craft has been learned long ago. What's the difference? Lin Mo is trying to get rid of the firewood from the bottom of the pot!
A look of distress appeared on his face, and Murong Xian stuttered a little: "Sir, these... these 20,000 sets of protective gear for war horses are still acceptable, but this craftsman..."
"What's wrong?" Lin Mo took a sip of tea calmly and said lightly: "Master Murong, is he unwilling to give it to the craftsmen?"
Listening to Lin Mo's rather cold words, Murong Xian, whose face was full of difficulty, suddenly got up from the seat again, bowed to Lin Mo, and begged: "Prince Lin, please calm down. This craftsman must not be given to me!"
Putting away the coldness in the words, Lin Mo asked with a smile: "Oh, why is this?"
After wiping the sweat beads on his forehead, Murong Xian hurriedly said, "Master Lin may not know that more than half of my Murong family's business involves the army, and 50% of the profits come from selling protective gears for war horses!"
If the process of creating war horse protective gear is leaked, all the Murong family's business will be greatly affected, and the Murong family may be defeated from now on.
Seeing Murong Xian shouting out in detail, his words were even more frightened and uneasy. Lin Mo did not say anything directly, but pretended to think about it before speaking.
"Okay, then don't have craftsmen!"
After hearing this, Murong Xian hurriedly wanted to thank Lin Mo, but then he heard Lin Mo put forward another condition.
"I can't want craftsmen, but I heard that in addition to building protective gear for war horses, the Murong family's craftsmanship of creating light armor for cavalry is even more unique. Then use 20,000 sets of light armor for cavalry!"
Most of the Murong family's business involves the army, and in this half of the business, the other 50% of the profit comes from the sale of light armor for cavalry.
Hearing that Lin Mo no longer wanted to craftsmen, Murong Xian was immediately overjoyed and nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, I agree, and I will use 20,000 sets of light armor for cavalry to replace it."
After the business was negotiated, Lin Mo asked Murong Xian to sit down and asked Qiu Yun to pour Murong Xian a cup of hot tea. After ensuring that the seduction will help Murong Qinglan, Lin Mo chatted with Murong Xian for a long time.
"By the way, Murong family head, since the matter that should be discussed has been agreed, there is a business here, I don't know if you do it or not. I guarantee that within five years, your Murong family will be among the first-class families in the Dagan Empire."
Hearing that there is business to do and that Murong has become one of the first-class families in the Dagan Empire within five years, Murong Xian's old eyes shine brightly, and his face is full of smiles.
"I am naturally extremely happy to be able to do business with Sect Master Lin, and it is also my honor!"
