"No matter what the outside world says, it doesn't matter if we're brothers or not. Why are you going against me? "A wise man understands the times. An arm can't win against a thigh. Let's turn hostility into friendship. I advise you to work with me. Your future is boundless. I won't treat you unfairly. State your conditions."”Qianlong said to Chen Jialuo.
" Don't even think about it. That's impossible."
"Everything is possible. Why do you say it so decisively?”
"I won't collude with you. Just give up.”Chen Jialuo said.
"Aren't you afraid of death?"
"If you're afraid of death, you won't come."
Qianlong looked around and said in a low voice,""There are many of my people around this tavern. As long as I slap my fan on the table, you're dead.”
"Then I'll die with you. Completing my mission, exchanging my body for yours, it's worth it. I won't let down the trust that the old Chapter Leader of the Red Flower Association has placed in me.”
"Chen Jialuo, I didn't call you here today to bicker. Tell me, where did you hide Murong Wanhua?”
Chen Jialuo laughed out loud and said," You're an emperor. You lost your woman, but you're here to ask me for her. What a joke. It's the biggest joke in Jianghu."”
"I'm not joking with you. Where did you hide her?”
"What right do you have to say that I hid your woman? You're the boss. You can use the power of the country to find your woman.”
" Don't keep saying that you're my woman. We haven't reached that stage yet…" Qianlong was a little shy. He didn't know why, but he really felt shy.
"If you like her, then marry her. Take care of her, love her, and never leave her. This is true love. If you like her, then why don't you marry her?”The sharp sword of Chen Jialuo's words pierced Qianlong's heart.
"It's a long story. It's not that I don't want to marry her, but if she doesn't agree, there will be a lot of trouble.”Qianlong's tone at this time was really like a brother chatting about family matters. His brother was in trouble, not because he lacked money or a house, but because he lacked the means to conquer women.
Chen Jialuo's heart softened. Before he met the all-powerful emperor of the Qing Dynasty, he swore that he would kill this guy by hook or by crook to reverse the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. However, today, he met Qianlong in casual clothes in this tavern. Why did it feel different?
Chen Jialuo dared to come because he had guts. The people from the Red Flower Association, who were his subordinates, didn't agree to come to this place for the banquet. The Hongmen Banquet was obviously a Hongmen Banquet. Danger lurked everywhere and there was a lot of killing intent. However, he resisted the public opinion and came. He knew that Qianlong would ask him for a woman. The common people said that it was difficult to find a person hiding something with ten people. Although Qianlong was the emperor, looking for a woman in this huge Nine Provinces territory was almost like looking for a needle in a haystack. Qianlong really looked for her, but he couldn't find her.
He did not want to use too much power to look for Murong Wanhua and did not want too many people to know about this matter. He tried to narrow the scope as much as possible. After all, this was a romantic affair, after all, it was the Emperor's private matter. The storytellers on the streets would add fuel to the fire and slander his lofty image.
The Emperor needed dignity and everyone's protection.
Qianlong had no choice but to take this risky move.
"Hand him over." Qianlong held back his anger and ordered Chen Jialuo.
"I don't know where she is. Who do you want me to hand over? What happened between the two of you has nothing to do with me. Are you afraid that I'll assassinate you?”
"I'm not afraid."
"I'm at my wit's end."
"I want her to know that I love her very much. I can call you because I have my considerations. You know that I will definitely find her. I also know that you did it. This is despicable. If you have the ability, don't play these childish kidnapping games. You were lucky to escape last time.”Qianlong said.
"What a joke. How do you say I'm lucky? You're the lucky one who escaped. You've already fallen into our Red Flower Society's encirclement. If you have the guts, we'll fight you one on one.”
"Why don't I have the guts? I'm the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. I've fought all over the world. I've seen all kinds of situations. Why would I be afraid of a vagrant like you? Tell me, how do we fight alone?"
"In the open space in front, no one wants an assistant, just the two of us, fighting alone. If you beat me, I will tell you Murong Wan Hua's address.”
Qianlong couldn't help but laugh. He stood up and said,""Villain's actions, you said it yourself. Just now you kept defending that you didn't do such a shady thing. Now, you confessed without being forced and said something wrong. It was you who hid Murong Wanhua. If I win, you hand over Murong Wanhua, how about it?”
"If I win? How are you?"
"You think you can beat me?" Qianlong said confidently. Chen Jialuo, why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? Who do you think you are? Let me tell you clearly, the person who will beat me has not yet been born.”
"Let's go. I won't bring my people, and you won't bring your people. How about it?”
"It's a deal. A promise is a promise. If I win, you hand over the person. If I lose, I'll find the person myself. How about that?”
"Alright, I'll do it. Let's go." Chen Jialuo strode out of the tavern.
