After hearing this, Xia Jinqi looked at Huo Ting with a complicated gaze.
It turned out that these people who seemed to be high and mighty were all restrained by each other to prevent someone from monopolizing the power.
No Wonder Yan Jun wanted to help those who were beneficial to him to rise to the top. They were all on the same side, so it was easier to talk to them.
Knowing that the girl was worried about him, Huo Ting suddenly laughed again. "But they were also in vain. They restrained me, but they couldn't restrain Yan Jun. "
"En? What happened to Yan Jun? " Hearing about Yan Jun, Xia Jinqi couldn't help but ask subconsciously.
"I remember that Yan Jun lent you an army before? " Huo Ting asked instead of answering.
"Yes. " Xia Jinqi nodded, but there was still some confusion in her eyes. What was the relationship between these two things?
Curious, Huo Ting's laughter was tinged with a hint of admiration. "He bought a batch of arms from the Shangguan family, which has been manufacturing arms for generations in chestnut city. That's what it means to have an army with self-respect, and it's unimpeded in Europe. "
"..."Xia Jinqi was speechless. So that was how Yan Jun's army came about?
And that so-called arms family... ... Xia Jinqi smiled sheepishly and asked, "could it be that he bought it from Shangguan Mingyue? "
Huo Ting didn't expect to hear the name Shangguan Mingyue from her and couldn't help but be a little surprised. "How did you know? "
" ... that's true. " Xia Jinqi continued to be embarrassed. "My dad met her and I was there at the time. I heard from my dad that she's the queen of arms. Now, the entire Shangguan family is under her control. "
"Not exactly. She also has a brother. But this Shangguan Mingyue is married to the warlord of Li City, Leng Sicheng. So occasionally, there will be diplomacy, so there will be more people who know about it, " Huo Ting said slowly.
The Huo family was also a warlord family, so they more or less knew about each other's stories.
In addition, he knew that Yan Jun had an army, so it was easy to know where the arms came from.
Xia Jinqi nodded and looked at Huo Ting with a hint of craftiness. "What about you? Didn't you secretly store some of your belongings? "
"I don't have the guts to do that. " Huo Ting quickly waved his hand. "Just by sitting in this position, you've attracted so many people's jealousy and hatred. If I were to store some arms, wouldn't your father be the first to exterminate me? "
Huo Ting smiled bitterly. His position as the number one was really like sitting on pins and needles. The moment he moved, he would be pricked until his entire body was covered in blood.
Originally, this was an unintentional sentence from Huo Ting, but it made Xia Jinqi frown.
"Erhuo, don't worry. I won't let them hurt you. " Xia Jinqi looked into huo ting's eyes with extreme seriousness Every word she said was as firm as a vow. "When I was young, it was you who protected the weak and incompetent me. Now that I have the ability, it's my turn to protect you! "
Huo Ting's heart trembled. He looked at Xia Jinqi in a daze, not saying a word for a long time.
He fell into deep silence, but Xia Jinqi had already tidied up his small dining table, carried her bag, and walked out of the door.
Seeing the girl's figure leave, Huo Ting sighed faintly.
"Girl, are you trying to pay back what you owe me? Silly girl. You don't owe me anything anymore. "
"..."
After leaving the hospital, Xia Jinqi looked at the time. It was still early for her to make an appointment with Xiao Ran. She immediately took a taxi and went to the government building where Xia Mingzhu worked.
It was fine if she did not know before, but now that she knew that she was behind it, Xia Jinqi could not sit still.
Especially when Xia Mingzhu Hurt Huo Ting!
