The Literary Hero of the Republic of China (民国之文豪) [MTL]

Chapter 236

　　When Huo Ying heard that someone was looking for him, he immediately asked, "Who is here?"

　　The steward said: "Second Young Master, I don't know the one surrounded by people, but the one who brought people here..." The steward said a few names, among them were the people in power in Shanghai from Britain and France, and others. Officials of the Shanghai government.

　　These people, not to mention Huo Ying, even Mu Qiong, who hadn't had much contact with the top people, and Yue Chaoying, who had just returned to China, knew about them.

　　Yue Chaoying and Huo Ying were not satisfied with their conversation, so he said at this time: "Second Young Master has guests, I will go to other places and wait, we can talk later." It is troublesome to come here, he is planning to talk Have fun.

　　"Okay, then please trouble Mr. Yue to wait for me." Huo Ying said, looking at the manager again: "You treat Mr. Yue well."

　　"Yes, Second Young Master." The person in charge agreed, took Mu Qiong and others, and left through the side door of the house.

　　And not long after they left, the British and French delegations came to Huo Ying.

　　Seeing these people, Huo Ying felt a "thump" in his heart, and secretly said, "It's finally here."

　　At the same time, Mu Qiong and Yue Chaoying were taken to a study by the steward, and the steward quickly brought some refreshments to eat, and of course tea was indispensable.

　　The food delivered included common pastries, fruits, melon seeds and candied fruit, as well as snacks such as marinated chicken feet, even with chopsticks.

　　These things are delicious, but Mu Qiong and others are not in the mood to eat them. Mu Qiong said: "Teacher, what do you think people from Britain and France come here for?"

　　Yue Chaoying asked back, "What do you think they are here for?"

　　Mu Qiong said: "They should have come for Xilin."

　　It has been a long time since Xilin appeared, but Britain and France did not respond until now, which is a bit late.

　　Of course, this is not surprising.

　　These days, the traffic is inconvenient, the flow of information is not smooth, and things like medicine need time to test, let alone they are still fighting...

　　After tossing back and forth for a while, hasn't time passed for a long time?

　　"That's right." Yue Chaoying said: "Such a thing will definitely make people covet it, and I don't know if Huo Ershao has a way to preserve it... This is the treasure of our country, and it must not be taken away easily. "

　　"Second Young Master should have a solution." Mu Qiong said, although he said so, he didn't know what to do.

　　The Huo family is a warlord with some power. The government also wants to give Huo Ying face, but the big powers are different.

　　They don't take this country seriously at all, so how can they care about a warlord in this country?

　　If the big powers really have an opinion on the Huo family, when they have nothing to do, the Huo family will definitely be in trouble.

　　Mu Qiong suddenly thought, since Xilin is very precious, since many people want Xilin, can it be used as a bargaining chip in the upcoming peace talks?

　　World War I lasted four years, with more than 55 million deaths.

　　It is now the end of 2017, and next year, World War I will end with the surrender of Germany, and then peace talks will begin.
