Chapter 126: Transaction with Yin Ruoshui
In the blink of an eye, a month and a half has passed and the weather has gradually become hotter, but Xia Qin and Mo Ye have a cool summer resort.
It is a bamboo house they built by the river, surrounded by lush green bamboo forest, giving people a sense of tranquility.
At this time, Xia Qin, Mo Ye and the little light bulb Xiaoyu were sitting leisurely on the stone bench in front of the bamboo house, enjoying this rare leisure time.
The layout of this bamboo house is almost exactly the same as the one in Xiling City, except for the lack of the hot spring.
Xia Qin waved her folding fan and said half-jokingly, "Oh, it would be great if one or two female heroes could come to look for Mr. Mo. This way we can relive the good memories of the past!"
She deliberately spoke in a sarcastic tone, obviously teasing Mo Ye.
Mo Ye was already accustomed to Xia Qin's teasing. He was not angry but smiled slightly. Just as he was about to respond, Ah Gui suddenly flew in from the bamboo forest.
Ah Gui came to Mo Ye and whispered something in his ear. Mo Ye nodded and said something in reply.
Then, Ah Gui left quickly.
Xia Qin asked curiously: "What happened?"
Mo Ye's face flashed with a trace of doubt, but he immediately regained his smile. He looked at Xia Qin and replied sourly: "Xia Xia, there is no heroine looking for me, but there is a prince looking for you."
"Your Majesty?" Xia Qin was stunned, but quickly reacted, "Yin Ruoshui?"
It’s not difficult to guess. When it comes to the prince, she only knows one Yin Ruoshui.
"Yes, that's right. He's already nearby and should be arriving in Jinghai County soon." Mo Ye curled his lips, seemingly not welcoming this uninvited guest. "I've asked Ah Gui to tell him we're here. He should be here tonight."
"What is he doing here?" Xia Qin couldn't understand why he, a prince and commander of a warring enemy country, came here? For herself? Although they had only been together for a few days, she knew Yin Ruoshui. For him, venturing to the heart of Daxia was definitely an important and urgent matter.
"I'm not sure about that. Yuelan Country has not been peaceful recently." Mo Ye pondered, as if considering the possible impact of this matter. "But he shouldn't be here to cause trouble. Perhaps, he has something to ask of you?"
"Are you asking me for help?" Xia Qin instantly understood what Mo Ye meant. She frowned slightly and began to worry, "If I help him, will it be the same as collaborating with the enemy?"
"That's not the case. We have to see what he wants to do," Mo Ye said with a smile, "and what chips he can bring out."
On July 15th, the sixth year of Yongjia, in a bamboo forest in Chongchuan County, Jinghai County, a long-awaited meeting took place that would determine the overall situation of the world in the future.
Five figures gently landed beside the bamboo house. Outside the house, Mo Ye and Xia Qin had been waiting for a long time.
"Miss Mu, no, it's Lord Mu," Yin Ruoshui looked at Xia Qin and said faintly, "It's been a long time."
The situation has changed. Xia Qin is no longer the captive she once was. She said coldly, "King Qingyuan, you came all the way to our Great Xia Kingdom. Aren't you here to say hello?"
"Of course, I want to come and see Lord Mu." Yin Ruoshui saw that Mo Ye's expression was not very friendly, and added, "Lord Mu can help with something else."
Everything was as Xia Qin and Mo Ye expected. Xia Qin deliberately said, "You want me to help? King Qingyuan, I am now an official of Daxia. Helping the prince of the enemy country is a crime of exterminating the whole family. You are not here to see me, but to harm me, right?"
Yin Ruoshui waved his hand, and the four followers around him immediately retreated to a distance. He whispered, "Mr. Mo, Lord Mu, can we go inside to discuss this in detail?"
Mo Ye and Xia Qin took Yin Ruoshui into the bamboo house.
"The furnishings here are nice and elegant." With the help of the oil lamp, Yin Ruoshui glanced around.
"King Qingyuan, it seems like you have no urgent business?" Xia Qin said sarcastically.
Yin Ruoshui sat down on a bamboo chair very unceremoniously and said, "I asked Lord Mu to help me, so I will naturally not do anything that is detrimental to the Great Xia Kingdom."
"What guarantee can you give for this?" Xia Qin immediately asked back.
"Forgive me for being blunt, but this doesn't need any guarantees," Yin Ruoshui said, looking directly at Mo Ye, "Even if it's bad for Da Xia, I can only be bad for the Qin family."
Mo Ye and Yin Ruoshui looked at each other and said directly, "King Qingyuan, there's no need to beat around the bush. Just tell me what help you want."
"Your engineering equipment manufacturing drawings, as well as the bamboo mines used in the northern border that day." Yin Ruoshui twisted the ring on his hand, "These things are only used in Yuelan."
"It seems that you are planning to take over? However, mobilizing such a large force is not like your style." Mo Ye couldn't figure out what Yin Ruoshui was up to.
"These things are not for my use," Yin Ruoshui replied calmly and seriously, "My mission is to protect my cousin, the Lord of Yuelan Country."
"King Qingyuan, you really are too gloomy and delicate in your mind." Xia Qin commented on him from the side.
"Thank you for your praise, Lord Mu. In exchange, after everything succeeds, Yuelan Country will also lend you a helping hand in the future. After all, I don't want to be your enemy. What do you think, Lord Mu?"
Yin Ruoshui raised the corner of her mouth slightly, a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes, and she looked at Xia Qin quietly, waiting for her reaction.
Xia Qin looked at Mo Ye, wanting to see his opinion. Mo Ye shrugged, indicating that it didn't matter.
Seeing that Mo Ye did not object, Xia Qin seemed to have thought of something interesting. A faint smile appeared on her face, and she said softly: "Okay, but I have a small request."
"What request?" Yin Ruoshui frowned slightly and asked in confusion.
"I want to ask you for some grass seeds." Xia Qin thought about it briefly and thought that the Yuelan Kingdom in this time and space should be similar to the Western Regions in his own time and space. He should get some crops and farm well.
"Plant seeds?" Mo Ye and Yin Ruoshui looked at each other. Both of them were very surprised by Xia Qin's request.
"Yes!" She took out a pen and paper and wrote as she spoke.
After a while, he described in detail the appearance and characteristics of crops such as sesame, grapes, melons, pomegranates, mung beans, cucumbers, garlic, walnuts, etc., and asked Yin Ruoshui to provide the seeds of these crops.
Although Yin Ruoshui was a prince and had rich experience, he had no idea about these things and was completely confused and bewildered when he heard them.
However, he promised: "Lord Mu, I really don't understand what you said, but after I go back, I will send someone to search carefully according to Lord Mu's description and send it here."
Xia Qin was also straightforward: "Okay, I believe that King Qingyuan will keep his promise. Come and get the drawings of the fifty bamboo mines, catapults, and ladders at this time tomorrow."
"By the way, I have to remind you two that there have been some unusual movements in the Qin family recently, so you'd better be careful. I will ask Abao to pick up something tomorrow, and I will take my leave now." After saying that, Yin Ruoshui turned and left.
However, he suddenly stopped and looked back at Xia Qin, his eyes revealing a trace of reluctance: "Lord Mu, my vision was indeed correct at the beginning. It's a pity that I can't have you by my side to help me."
"King Qingyuan..." Mo Ye said in a low but firm voice: "Please remember the promise you made today. We may have the opportunity to cooperate in the future."
Yin Ruoshui smiled and nodded: "I remember. Goodbye." After saying that, his cold figure gradually disappeared into the darkness.
Looking at Yin Ruoshui's departing back, Xia Qin couldn't help but feel a complicated emotion in her heart. She sighed softly, as if regretting something.
"Why, Xia Xia, are you reluctant to leave?" Mo Ye asked softly in her ear.
"What do you mean you can't bear to part with them? I just think people like them are really too tired," Xia Qin turned to look at Mo Ye and joked, "Why, Mr. Mo, are you jealous?"
"What do you think?"
