In the martial arts world, he threatens Yin Susu from the start.

Gu Hanyuan didn't have that much time.

He has been constantly involved in major events.

If Fukang'an didn't have such a good reputation.

Huo Qingtong will not be fooled.

Therefore, reputation is the best disguise.

It's like everyone in the martial arts world "fighting for fame and fortune".

Why is "fame" prioritized over "profit"?

It is precisely because of the "name" that it exists.

"Benefits" will come naturally.

A playful glint flashed in Gu Hanyuan's eyes.

With a smile that concealed a deeper meaning, he sighed:

"As the saying goes, you can know a person's face but not their heart. Qing Tong should be more careful in the future."

Gu Hanyuan saw Huo Qingtong nod in agreement.

They have clearly learned their lesson.

Whether it can be done is another matter.

In Gu Hanyuan's view.

Huo Qingtong has a relatively high sense of justice.

They may not be able to accept his hidden ambitions and darkness.

She needed to keep it a secret even more than Huang Rong.

However, Gu Hanyuan only needs Huo Qingtong's command skills.

She doesn't need to have access to core secrets too early.

After the canal is successfully traversed.

Given Huo Qingtong's personality.

In the end, they will be gentle and forgiving.

Gu Hanyuan said firmly:

"And if I may be frank, the Hui people can do without your brother, Huo Aiyi, but they cannot do without Qing Tong."

Huo Qingtong looked at the serious look in Gu Hanyuan's eyes.

That was a sign of trust and recognition towards her.

Even though she led her Hui people to many victories.

But just because she is a woman.

Her brother and the Hui people still couldn't fully trust her.

He would question Huo Qingtong's schemes from time to time.

Gu Hanyuan's recognition was exactly what this woman, who bore the heavy burden of her clan, longed for most.

A warm feeling welled up in Huo Qingtong's heart.

His expression grew even gentler.

Her emerald green dress made her look even more feminine.

She said in a coquettish voice, with a hint of shyness and reproach:

"Qing Tong is not as important as Brother Gu makes it out to be."

Huo Qingtong seemed to have gradually gotten used to it.

You don't need to keep a strong facade in front of Gu Hanyuan.

She can act coquettishly like a little woman.

Gu Hanyuan saw this.

I'm becoming increasingly satisfied with the progress of the strategy.

He lavished praise upon the speaker, saying:

"Qingtong, do not underestimate yourself. The fact that the Hui people were able to resist the invasions of the Mongol Yuan and Qing dynasties is entirely due to Qingtong's decisive command. I admire him greatly."

Listening to Gu Hanyuan's praise and approval.

Huo Qingtong was delighted.

However, it mentions the invasions of the Hui people by the Mongol Yuan and Qing dynasties.

This also made her feel down.

She sighed softly:

"But the situation in the Hui region is becoming increasingly difficult. This trip to Western Xia has also failed to find any allies."

Gu Hanyuan's eyes flickered for a moment upon hearing this.

He had made up his mind.

He said in a deep voice:

"I can act as a bridge for Qing Tong to gain an ally."

Huo Qingtong was delighted upon hearing this.

He asked eagerly:

"Really? Which country?"

Gu Hanyuan said slowly:

"Khwarizm."

The joy on Huo Qingtong's face vanished at a visible speed.

She thought that it was, after all, Gu Hanyuan's good intention.

Hesitantly, he said:

"I did consider Khwarezm. However, Khwarezm is currently struggling to survive, so it's unlikely to be of any use."

Gu Hanyuan didn't care about Huo Qingtong's suspicions.

He explained confidently:

"That's because Khwarazm lacks a base of operations and is also concerned about the safety of its people, so it's running around like stray dogs. As long as Khwarazm has a place to settle its people, it will definitely fight back against the Mongols."

If it were Khwarezm in the past, it would naturally be in dire need of protection.

However, things changed after Zhen Sushan and Gu Hanyuan started working together.

As long as Western Xia can be conquered.

Without any worries about their rear, Khwarezm would definitely cause a lot of trouble for the Mongol Yuan Dynasty.

This will also buy Gu Hanyuan more time.

Huo Qingtong was taken aback upon hearing this.

With her intelligence.

How could they not understand such a simple principle?

However, without the relevant intelligence.

He said with a somewhat embarrassed expression:

"Brother Gu, are you referring to our Hui tribe? But I'm afraid the Hui tribe can't accommodate many people right now."

Chapter 397: Could that Madam Zhen be Brother Gu's confidante?

Huo Qingtong had clearly misunderstood Gu Hanyuan's meaning.

Gu Hanyuan chuckled confidently.

He explained slowly:

"Of course not. I have already prepared a place for the people of Khwarezm to settle. They are just waiting to migrate there."

He didn't explain much to Huo Qingtong.

It's not that I don't trust Huo Qingtong.

It's not just because of the principle that if things aren't kept secret, one will lose their life.

This further established Huo Qingtong's unfathomable image.

Huo Qingtong was influenced by Gu Hanyuan's confidence.

His eyes held a hint of admiration.
