"Sister Qian, that move you just made was so powerful! Was that also Wu?"
"right."
"Sister Qian, have you really entered the final state?"
"Yes."
"I'll just tell you. There are still people at home who don't believe it. I'll be the first to tell them when I get back!"
The girl's name is Qin Xinwu. She is ten years old this year. From her name, you can tell that she is of the same generation as the eldest lady. Just looking at her expectant and excited little face, you can tell that she admires her sister very much. As soon as they met, she grabbed Qin Qianbai's hand and kept asking questions like popping beans, making Qin Qianbai feel overwhelmed. Gongsun Ce lazily fell two steps behind. He snickered and handed over the task of dealing with the little fans to his own girl, completely pretending not to see Qin Qianbai's look for help.
"These outsiders compete with each other without shame, and come to challenge while the brothers and sisters are busy with official duties. They just want to ask the passers-by of the ceremony hall to help, and once they are interfered with, they take the opportunity to cause trouble, saying that the government is interfering in the world. Well, if a powerful character really comes, they will run the fastest..."
"Well, it's annoying."
Gongsun Ce saw Qin Qianbai's cheeks puffing up little by little, and knew it was time for him to speak. He walked to Qin Xinlu and asked kindly: "The little girl is very skilled at such a young age. She deserves to be a child of the Qin family in the imperial capital. But if Qin Qianbai failed to arrive earlier, what should you do?"
Qin Xinlu's tone changed when she was talking to him, and she didn't look the same as when she was talking to Qin Qianbai: "Reply to Mr. Qian. Since Sister Qian is not here, it is natural for me to go to the ring to decide the winner. This fight is in full view of everyone. , I am a girl who has no one to blame for my failure. Tomorrow my brothers and sisters will be free to beat him back; he, Liu Fufeng, bullies the younger ones, no matter he wins or loses, he will bring disgrace to everyone in the Canghe Sect. Whenever he goes out, he will be pointed at. The backbone said that it is ridiculous for the elite of the sect to compete with girls. If I really get into the ring, he will have a headache."
Gongsun Ce laughed when he heard this and handed the little girl a piece of candy: "She is smart and much smarter than your sister back then."
Qin Xinwu pouted and did not take the candy ball: "Sir, you are blaming me."
"Why did you blame me, sir?" Gongsun Ce was surprised.
"If Sister Qian were here back then, she would have just thought about defeating him on the field and leaving. How could she have such useless thoughts?" Qin Xinlu asked back, "So Sister Qian has met her fate at the age of ten. Is that right? I am still practicing the secret teachings of the Gate."
Gongsun Ce nodded repeatedly with sincere emotion: "Much smarter than your sister now..."
Qin Qianbai stepped on him quietly, took the candy ball and threw it into Qin Xin's mouth: "Don't listen to his nonsense, Xiao Xin eats candy."
"Ahhhhhh."
The little girl happily ate the candy balls. Rei Shigure behind her took a few glances and thought that she was from the same family. They all looked exactly the same when eating. She communicated with Liu Zhongwu in a low voice: "The Qin family in the imperial capital has a great cause, so do these three religious sects have the courage to provoke them?"
Liu Zhongwu said indifferently: "Usually, when Mr. Qin is in charge of the imperial capital, foreign warriors have to weigh their own resources if they want to get ahead. But Mr. Qin went to the sky to rescue the siege, and those who don't know what is good have the courage to come out."
Shigurei smacked his lips: "When will Qin An leave the capital?"
"This morning. It only took me an hour to mobilize the Qin family's elite troops."
"These people are quite well informed." Rei Shigure sneered, "Is the female hacker here?"
"Don't make any noise, don't make any noise. The female hacker is working." Qiluo buried her head in scrolling through her mobile phone. "I can tell who it is by looking at this method. The Lord of the Hidden Law must have interfered... Mr. Liu, could you please give me the authority of the Shenjing Communication Network?" , I will help you design a spell to prevent sneak attacks... something that can have a preventive effect, probably!"
The Lord of Yinlu is likely to be around Shenjing City, and this news does not surprise Gongsun Ce. According to Gaius' confession after being imprisoned, the elusive information life form was the initiator of the Dust Order's so-called "salvation" plan. Such a person will never become an ally by betraying Situ Yi. He is probably still plotting his own crazy plan.
"Does Mr. Liu know anything about this person?"
"Yes." Liu Zhongwu nodded, "When Qin Ming came to the Sky Capital at the end of February this year, the Lord of Yinlu hid in secret to guide the situation, trying to harm you. That time, Yan Qi and Qin Ming and I took action together, but in the end we still let him He ran away, leaving only the piece of Tongxin Jade, which shows how difficult this person is."
Old Liu paused and said, "Yan Qi has some guesses about his background...but it's hard to mention it."
Gongsun Ce thought of the way Alandia defeated the Lord of the Hidden Law, and understood the reason: "He has lost part of his memory, right? If he hears it when he mentions it, it will increase the enemy's power in vain."
"Not bad at all. And even if you know how to follow, it's hard to come up with any good method." Liu Zhongwu sighed, "An information life form is likely to be in the final state of abnormal state, and it can simulate the world of creation. How can such a person Target? If we want to really deal with him, I'm afraid we have to fight a tough battle."
Lao Liu spoke in an orderly manner, but Gongsun Ce left a memory in his heart. Everyone is a smart person, and Liu Zhongwu's attitude is clear that he is unwilling to talk about this matter in detail. It seems that the Yinlu Lord has a close relationship with Shenjing City, so much so that he, as a high official in the dynasty, keeps it secret. And this attitude already shows the problem. There is only one person in this sacred city who can make Taichang Qing of the Ceremony Hall worry.
Gongsun Ce looked at the center of Shenjing City from a distance, and he knew that the palace of the Yongguang Empire was silent in the night. The most powerful person in the world should live within the high palace walls, sit among the carved pillars, and watch over his land like a god.
He looked away and asked, "I wonder if we are now...?"
"I have to go to the Qin family's house first. There are some things I need to let you know first."
Qin Qianbai looked quietly at the south of the imperial capital. She was still far away from the family compound. She could already see the familiar black stone walls and pine and cypress trees, the big black house with Chinese red couplets carved with inscriptions, and the stone-carved stone on the main ridge. Kiss beast. Each majestic stone animal head has its edges and corners smoothed by the children's years of pondering, looking down at the practice ground behind the mansion with a simple and honest face.
She picked up her sister, climbed up and down on the eaves, and came to the main entrance of Qin's mansion. Above the red-painted door is a plaque with gold characters on a black background, which was written in calligraphy by Emperor Lingyang two thousand years ago and reads "The Duke of Wu State".
After four years of separation, she returned to her home. The night wind was mixed with dust and sweat, and the incense was mixed with the smoke of cooking fires in the kitchen. That was the smell she was familiar with. The memories of the past were touched and revived in his mind, making Qin Qianbai smile slightly. She pushed open the door with both hands and shouted, "I'm back!"
The door opened, letting out a silver light. The spear tip and sword tip were the first to attack, slashing with broadswords and giant axes from left to right. Hidden in the shadows of the swords and swords were twenty short dagger-pointed needles and strange-shaped weapons. The sharp light of the various weapons was like mercury leaking to the ground, and a murderous intent was coming!
Qin Qianbai's smile did not fade, and he tapped the ground lightly with his toes. The invisible shock wave spread instantly, causing the sword to be released and the hidden weapon to be rolled back. There was an exclamation from behind the gate, and there were sounds of people falling to the ground one after another. Gongsun Ce who followed closely behind him was extremely shocked when he saw this scene: "Are you, the Duke of Wu, also interested in competing for the right to inherit?"
Before he finished speaking, a dozen or so Qin family disciples behind the door quickly picked up their weapons, stood up, and lined up on both sides of the door. Qin Xinlu quickly ran to the end of the team, and together with everyone else, they all raised their hands to Qin Qianbai: "Welcome Sister Qian back to Beijing!"
"The rules of the family are that children who are traveling abroad must first test their talents before entering the house. They are not allowed to enter before they have improved." Qin Qianbai led everyone through the door and took Gongsun Ce's arm with some pride, "This is my fiancé Gongsun Ce. The last two are my family friends, so I won’t rest for now because I want to see my grandfathers to discuss important matters.”
"clear!"
The descendants of the Qin family in Tsing Yi bowed to everyone in turn and then dispersed back to the family compound to report the news. Each one of them spoke appropriately, which shows the demeanor of everyone in the family. Even if there were a few who deliberately discussed it, they were far away before whispering: "Did you see it? He is the Gongsun Ce who has four confidants!"
"She looks really handsome, no wonder she likes her..."
Gongsun Ce, who had a keen perception, couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this: "How could this gossip reach your house if it wasn't for me..."
"Jihui Division's romantic reputation is known to the whole world!" Rei Shigure said with a strange yin and yang expression.
Qin Qianbai stepped on him again, and someone sighed: "I kind of regret not growing a beard."
"Why?"
Gongsun Ce touched his smooth lips: "If I trim my beard more beautifully, people's first reaction might be 'Gongsun Ce with four eyebrows' instead of 'Gongsun Ce with four confidants'..."
"What an old martial arts joke!" Qiluo couldn't help complaining.
Under the guidance of Qin Qianbai, they passed through three gates, walked along the corridor between the houses, and came to a stone house surrounded by greenery. There are several elite guards of the Qin family in green clothes surrounding the stone house. Each of them is strong and powerful, obviously not comparable to the ordinary juniors greeting guests at the gate. Qin Wu, the "Second Grandpa" whom Gongsun Ce had met before, stood guard at the door. When he saw a group of people coming, he first smiled at Qin Qianbai, then silently stepped aside after greeting him.
Candlesticks are used to provide lighting in the stone house, and no unnecessary furnishings can be seen. Golden lines are carved into the stone bricks, forming a tight formation from the inside to the entire house, which is as oppressive as a spider web and makes people breathless. There is also a pure white secret room isolated by jade in the stone house, and the center of the formation is in the secret room.
"Inside." Liu Zhongwu whispered.
Gongsun Ce took a step forward, pushed open the white jade door, and then stopped speechlessly. There are three jade beds in the secret room, and three lifeless people are sleeping peacefully on the beds. The first one was actually Agent Will, whom they all knew, and the gun of judgment that was always close to his body was still in his hand at this moment; in the middle was an old man in rich clothes that Gongsun Ce had never seen before, with kind eyebrows, kind eyes, and a fairy-like spirit; But the last person was the elder he was most familiar with. The painter in black was lying on the cold stone, with no expression on his face that usually laughed and cursed.
"Yan Qi returned to the imperial capital in the middle of the year and used the formation to delay the appearance of King Ping Ping." Liu Zhongwu said, "But now that King Ping Ping has arrived in an incarnation, their seal may not go smoothly."
Gongsun Ce slowly clenched his hand: "When I moved to a new house some time ago, he also gave me calligraphy and paintings."
"At that time, with the addition of the Gun of Judgment, Yan Qi was still able to move even though he was distracted from maintaining the seal. We all thought that the overall situation was stable and we could slowly figure it out." Liu Zhongwu shook his head, "But no one could have imagined that things would happen so suddenly. Just before and after His Majesty lost contact today, there was no news about the three of them. The situation has changed too fast, so we have no choice."
Gongsun Ce understood what he meant. As long as Yan Qi could still take action, there would be no urgent situation. Just like when Yan Qi came to join forces with the Third Seal, the whole ship was greatly encouraged by his arrival. Even an arrogant Situ Yi devoted all his energy to his seal. Because Yan Qi is the well-deserved Celestial Pole, the highest point on the vast sky. As long as the Celestial Pole is still there, the sky will not fall, and the world will still be peaceful.
But now that Yan Qi has lost contact, no one will laugh and curse to stand up for everyone. If the sky falls...
"It's up to us to make up for it." Gongsun Ce said to himself.
He turned to look at Liu Zhongwu: "Mr. Liu must know Yan Qi's character better than I do. His daring to seal King Ping Ping shows that he is sure of escaping unharmed. I think the reason why the three of them lost contact may not be entirely due to King Ping Ping. , I wonder what happened in the imperial capital to cause such a crisis?"
Liu Zhongwu narrowed his eyes: "Gongsun Ce, please close your eyes first."
Gongsun Ce was stunned for a moment and then reacted. He closed his eyes and wrapped the Nether Eyes with power, temporarily cutting off the "real" vision.
He slowly opened his eyes and saw two overlapping worlds.
