Gu Jian's tone gradually turned violent. He had suppressed it for too long. This was something he had been unable to deal with since he was a child. Since he was a child, all he has received is things that are second to others. Gu Ming's is, Gu An's is, he recognizes these, but why is it even Qin Qin's?
Obviously he is the bloodline of the Yu Emperor, he is obviously the legitimate prince of the Yu clan, Qin Qin is just a bastard brought here by that human woman, why can he be at least a general, while he, the real prince, has never Can't get into Gu Nan's eyes.
Sometimes, human jealousy is a very scary thing, it can make an originally gentle life become terrifying and ferocious.
Gu Jian did not kill Qin Qin, he wanted Qin Qin to live. Death was nothing. Living was sometimes the greatest punishment.
Qin Qin woke up in a dirty prison cell, opening and closing his eyes in the dark cell.
He knew that they took Gu Beilin away.
He tried his best to stand up, but his body had already reached its limit. The wound had not been treated, and pus and blood had emerged. The excessive blood loss made his mind confused.
Qin Qin struggled to crawl toward the door of the prison cell. As soon as his hand touched the door post, he received a heavy blow on the head. The soldier holding the iron rod gave a stupid smile.
Qin Qin's soldiers never fought against Gu Jian's soldiers. The ruffian soldiers were once taught a lesson by Qin Qin's men and were hung up and beaten. Thinking about this, his eyes were full of malice, and he swung his stick and wanted to hit him again, but there was a lot of noise and tumbling outside the prison.
Qin Qin's hand holding the prison door dropped. Before he fell into coma, he vaguely heard noisy screams.
"The prince is back..."
"Report——The west city gate has been broken..."
"too……"
Everything in front of him became blurry, and Qin Qin saw a bright light again. Under that light, blood and tears were blown away one after another, and the past and killings were covered up one by one.
His consciousness suddenly awoke, and Qin Qin screamed and struggled to wake up from his dream.
After waking up, he stared blankly at Lingluo on the top of the bed, with fear still in his eyes. Dense beads of sweat had appeared on his forehead, and the drops gathered into big drops and slid down his cheeks. Come down.
Qin Qin rubbed his eyebrows and frowned unconsciously, put down his hands, and was in a daze.
The feeling of pain is still unforgettable to this day, and the blood was dizzy in front of my eyes, and it seemed that it could cover my mind and soul. It was not only the physical pain, but also the accumulation and devouring of emotions for many days.
After months and a half of sleepless and bloody fighting, his body turned into a fighting machine. Finally, when victory was in sight, the stability he dreamed of was gained by Gu An at the risk of his life.
When he returned to the palace, he was greeted by another hell and limbo. His mother died, the country was in danger, he lost his property, and there was civil strife. His body had long been numb, but his consciousness could not be liberated from the coma.
That year, he was obviously only sixteen years old.
Qin Qin sighed and looked out the window.
The moon has disappeared, the sky is getting brighter, and strange lights flash from time to time in the gray sky. It is the air force of Jiuchong City preparing for patrol, preparing to devote themselves to guarding the Yu Clan's holy land for a whole day. go.
The past events have gradually faded away with the dust of the years. The blood buried deep in the snow has frozen into ice cubes, and the dust-covered bones of loyalty and betrayal have also turned into ashes.
Today's Yu clan has survived.
In this hard-won prosperous age, Qin Qin will never allow anyone to be disloyal, nor will he allow a mouse to ruin this pot of soup.
It is said that if the water is extremely clear, there will be no fish, but has anyone ever thought that maybe the clearest water does not need fish?
The sky had just brightened, and the moon was still glowing on the horizon, when there was a knock on the door of Qi Mansion, one of the twelve mansions.
"We have been ordered to search, open the door quickly! We have been ordered to search, open the door quickly!"
Dressed in gold, silver, and leather, and decked out in gorgeous ornaments, he exudes righteousness.
It was Beiyang Jun, the protector of Jiuchong City, the Holy Land of the Yu Clan.
The maid was still adjusting Qi Rongjun's clothes. Qi Rongjun waved her away, frowned and leaned forward, signaling to the steward of Qi Mansion: "What's going on? What's the fuss about?"
The housekeeper bowed and waited outside Qi Rongjun's main room: "Back to the army, it was the search warrant of the Beiyang Army, led by General Qin Qin."
"Search warrant?" Qi Rongjun murmured a few words, the look in his eyes turned obscure, and he asked the housekeeper softly: "Has anyone come in?"
"Come in, General Qin is sitting in the main hall waiting for the general."
When Qi Rongjun heard that Qin Qin was sitting and waiting for him, his eyes widened instantly and he was horrified. He roared in a low voice: "He is sitting and waiting for me?! Are you dead? Do you all think that my official career is smooth? !”
He cursed while running towards the main hall. He was so anxious that he didn't wear his shoes properly, and one of them fell loosely.
While being scolded, the housekeeper picked up his shoes with a grimace and followed him: "My army, it's not that we won't report it, it's General Qin who won't let you. He said he would let you sleep. How can you have the nerve to search other people's homes and wake them up? .”
Wake up?
The schedule of the Twelve Divisions is to start and guard at the Mao hour. He drank too much last night and slept too much this morning. It is already past the Mao hour.
Qin Qin couldn't bear to wake him up, he was clearly waiting for him here!
Qi Rongjun scolded him in his heart, but did not dare to show it on his face. He hurriedly cleaned up his expression, entered the main hall with a solemn look and gave Qin Qin a military salute.
Qin Qin took a sip of tea slowly without asking him to get up. He seemed to be in a good mood: "The sunshine is very good today. Qi Bujun bought this house just right, suitable for enjoying the scenery and taking a nap in spring."
Qi Rongjun glanced outside carefully. The sky was just gray and bright, and there was a lot of sunshine. He couldn't tell that Qin Qin was setting him up, but it was true that he was accidentally caught today.
Qi Rongjun was nowhere to be seen, so he just knelt down and said, "General, please punish me."
"What's the punishment?" Qin Qin opened his eyes wide: "I praise you for your vision and your choice of house. What's the punishment? What's more, the right branch of the army is not under my control, and you are not my soldier. You need to be punished. , it should be a matter for you to lead the army."
Qi Rongjun knelt and said nothing, and Qin Qin had no intention of speaking again.
At this time, the leader of the Beiyang Army and the judicial officer of the imperial inspection station had already led their people out of the house after searching. They raised their hands to Qin Qin, indicating that there was nothing suspicious.
Qin Qin nodded and looked at Jiang Shuyi again.
Jiang Shuyi is the head of the weapons manufacturing department of Qin Qin's left branch army. He is proficient in Qimen Dunjia and the structure of artifacts and secret rooms. Qin Qin recruited him back overnight last night in order to let him accompany him for the search today.
Jiang Shuyi also shook his head gently, and Qin Qin just put down the tea cup.
"Early in the morning, I didn't know that Qi's army was still sleeping. He broke in without permission and disturbed Qi's dream. It was a big disturbance."
Qin Qin smiled: "It's just that in the Yu tribe's military headquarters, it's Mao o'clock in the morning. It has never changed since the establishment of the army. In my general's left branch, it has been implemented from beginning to end. I don't know about your right branch." Army, when did you secretly change it? Is it possible that since there has been no war for many years, you feel that you can relax your vigilance? Or is it that your right army feels that it is strong enough and can scare the aliens with one against ten, so there is no need to practice anymore? "
"I don't dare!" Qi Rongjun responded: "Military discipline is strict. Although the right arm is not as brave as General Qin's left army, we know that diligence can make up for weakness. We practice hard every day and do not dare to neglect. Today's matter is mine alone. Responsibility, this is not the overall style of the Youzhi Army, and I also ask General Qin not to generalize."
Qi Rongjun gritted his teeth and said: "The next person is responsible for the work. I will go to the imperial examination desk to ask for a judicial order."
Qi Rongjun said so, how could Qin Qin still hold on to him.
He knew that the Right Army was a big problem, and that the current intricate branches of the Yu Clan were all involved in it. If they were so easy to move, he and Gu Ming would have taken action long ago.
Not in a hurry either.
Qin Qin smiled and said: "The Qi army has always been very disciplined, and it can be said that it is a mess among the right army. Once in a while, it is human nature. I am not blaming you, but I am worried that your subordinates will slack off because of this." If we don’t work diligently, won’t we be in trouble with all our troops?”
Qi Rongjun smiled and cursed in his heart.
Why didn't I see you say that when I was drinking tea with a dark face just now?
Qin Qin patted his robes and said, "In this case, if Qi's troops feel uncomfortable, please take a rest. I, the general, still have the holy decree to leave, so I will leave first."
"Send it to General Qin."
Qi Rongjun stood up slowly, his eyes unclear, and asked in a low voice: "What is he searching for?"
The housekeeper cautiously came in from the door: "Back to the army, the old slave didn't know that General Qin had the imperial order in his hand. When he came, he started rummaging through the boxes and cabinets. The one who followed him was knocking everywhere, and no one in the house dared to bar."
Qi Rongjun looked a little unhappy: "That's Jiang Shuyi from the Weapons Department of the Left Branch Army."
He turned his head and asked quietly: "Has he been to that place?"
Butler: "Don't worry, my troops, the second lady is guarding there. When the Beiyang army went, the second lady was clever and suddenly screamed, and the soldiers did not dare to move. Originally, the judicial department of the Imperial Examination Station had to forcefully enforce the law with righteous words. Breaking in, the minister said it wouldn’t happen here, so they didn’t go in.”
Not here?
Qi Rongjun narrowed his eyes, that was a search.
His second wife kept confidential documents. Although the place was secretive, it was small and could not hide anyone.
Jiang Shuyi saw the structure and said there was no need to enter.
Qi Rongjun vaguely knew who Qin Qin wanted to arrest. After all, he also knew about King Shunde's underground trading center.
It's just that he didn't expect it to be so fast.
It shouldn't be so fast.
Qi Rongjun squinted his eyes. He always felt as if someone was behind this incident.
He didn't dare to neglect it. There was something fishy about this matter, so he should inform his master.
Qi Rongjun adjusted his robe and rolled up his sleeves: "Call the second lady to come to the study. I have something to tell her."
Qin Qin led the Beiyang Army to search every house in Jiuchong City. For a long time, the entire Jiuchong City was in panic, and everyone on the street was talking about this.
Qin Qin took a sip of water. The judicial officer at the Imperial Examination Station waved his arm under the scorching sun, and Qin Qin handed him the water.
The judicial officer at the Imperial Examination Station took a sip: "If we continue the search like this, we will be able to complete the search today. Jiuchong City has been heavily surrounded by the Beiyang Army. There are winged air forces in the sky. As long as he is still in Jiuchong City, he will not be able to fly out of the palm of his hand."
Qin Qin said nothing, watching the sun shining on the shade, quietly.
Jiang Shuyi followed him, lowering his head silently. He had fair skin and was a small feathered man. Although he was about twenty-four, he still looked like an underage child.
Jiang Shuyi lowered his head, as if thinking about something.
Qin Qin lowered his head and asked him: "What are you thinking about? Is there something wrong?"
