"Zhuge Yunjin wants to see me?" Qin Ziling was slightly startled and said, "Could it be that Teacher Lai wants to see me?"
"Don't you know it when you go?" Xiao Qing said with a smile.
"Yes." Qin Ziling smiled slightly, then waved to the sky, and soon a huge blood goshawk flew from a distance and hovered in the sky.
"Zhuge Yunjin can be regarded as the judge of Xiyun Province. Why don't you come with me?" Qin Ziling said.
"That's fine, I was planning to accompany you today anyway." Xiao Qing nodded, then flew up with Qin Ziling and landed on the back of the Blood Goshawk.
The Blood Goshawk spread its wings and flew down to the Sheriff's Mansion in a blink of an eye.
"Lord Zhuge has come a long way, but I am unable to welcome him from afar!" Xiao Qing said as she walked into the living room.
"Master Xiao's words are serious!" Zhuge Yunjin quickly stood up and returned the greeting, not daring to show any slight.
At this moment, in the eyes of Zhuge Yunjin, Xiao Qing is not only a master-level figure, but her husband is also a registered disciple of Lai Yinuan, a master in Qi refining, and a person like Xiyunzhou. He is definitely a distinguished and distinguished person in this place.
Even though Zhuge Yunjin is a judge, he is not easy to show off.
"I've met Lord Zhuge. I wonder why Lord Zhuge wants to see me today?" Qin Ziling waited for the two of them to greet each other politely, and then said to Zhuge Yunjin.
"There are two things." Zhuge Yunjin straightened his face and said.
"Please speak." Qin Ziling said.
"One thing is that Elder Lai asked the supervisor to tell fellow Taoist Qin not to interfere in the affairs of the Qin family and the prince in Wuzhou." Zhuge Yunjin said.
"How do you say this? Could it be that the prince wants to deal with the Qin family?" Qin Ziling's face sank slightly when he heard this and asked.
"I don't know about this, but since it is said above, it is probably true, so it is best for Fellow Daoist Qin not to interfere in this matter. After all, the prince is powerful, and this is a worldly power struggle. If Fellow Daoist Qin must intervene, , even Elder Lai is inconvenient to come forward." Zhuge Yunjin said.
"What about the other thing?" Qin Ziling did not express his position, but turned to ask about another thing.
"Another thing is that the Southwest Governor, Earl Qingyuan, wants to recruit you to join the army to help defeat the Wang Lang rebels and the Corpse Demon Sect. Because you are a master of Qi Refining, he must inform me first if he wants to recruit you." Zhuge Yunjin replied.
"Earl Qingyuan belongs to the prince, right?" Qin Ziling said with a cold smile.
When Zhuge Yunjin heard this, he was slightly startled at first, then his expression changed, and he forced out a smile and said, "Fellow Daoist Qin, don't overthink it."
"Master Zhuge should know that I have always kept a low profile. Not many people in Xiyun Prefecture know that I am a master of Qi Refining. He, Count Qingyuan, was originally far away in the capital, but he was transferred to the four southwest states in the past few months to supervise all the states. Lu Bingma actually knew my name so quickly, and even called me by name to draft me into the army! Don't you think I should think more about it?" Qin Ziling sneered.
Zhuge Yunjin's expression became more and more unnatural when he heard this. After a while, he said: "After all, Earl Qingyuan is the Grand Governor. He oversees all the people in the four southwest states and has many eyes and ears. It is easy to find out who the Qi Refining Masters are in the four southwest states. .”
"Do you think Master Zhuge wants me to accept this recruitment?" Qin Ziling glanced at Zhuge Yunjin and said calmly.
"Suppressing the rebellion in Nanding Prefecture and annihilating the Corpse Demon Sect are important matters for the imperial court. As a citizen of Da Qi, I have no other responsibility to help the imperial court suppress the rebellion and exterminate the Demonic Sect. Of course, refining qi is both transcendent and secular, especially refining qi. Grandmaster, even if Earl Qingyuan is the Grand Governor, he cannot directly forcibly recruit him.
However, regarding this matter, word had already passed down from Jian Zheng that if Earl Qingyuan requested to mobilize troops, the magistrates' offices in the four southwest states should try their best to cooperate. Earl Qingyuan is not only recruiting Qi Refining Masters from our Xiyun Prefecture this time, there are also Qi Refining Masters from the other three states. So if Fellow Daoist Qin just has doubts in his heart, I'm afraid I won't be able to refuse. "Zhuge Yunjin replied.
"In this case, I won't let Lord Zhuge make things difficult. Let's do this. Lord Zhuge, please help me reply to the earl. My cultivation is at a critical juncture these days. I will report to the Governor's Mansion in a few days." Qin Ziling thought for a while and said.
"You're welcome, fellow Daoist Qin. I will order someone to reply to Earl Qingyuan when I get back," Zhuge Yunjin said.
After saying that, Zhuge Yunjin stood up and left.
"What are you going to do with Earl Qingyuan?" Xiao Qing asked after Zhuge Yunjin left.
"Earl Qingyuan's matter is not urgent, but the matter of the Qin family of Wuzhou is the top priority. The Qin family of Wuzhou treats me well, and besides, I am also a descendant of the Qin family.
If the prince really wants to deal with the Qin family in Wuzhou, I definitely can't sit idly by. But once you intervene, this matter may become a big deal! Not only does the prince have many forces and experts under his command, but as the prince is the future king, to a certain extent, being an enemy of him is an enemy of the Qi court.
With my current strength, I am not afraid of the Great Qi Imperial Court. What I am worried about is the Tianyan Sect behind the Great Qi Imperial Court. All the royal families of the Great Qi Kingdom were established by the Tianyan Sect. It can be seen that Jiang Guangquan's ascension to the position of crown prince must have been supported by someone from the Tianyan Sect.
The person behind the prince who can decide the future king of a country is definitely powerful and powerful in Tianyan Sect. Once I intervene in the affairs between the prince and the Qin family in Wuzhou, I will not compromise and I will definitely suppress the prince vigorously. In this way, I will not only have to face the court, but also the Tianyan Sect masters behind the prince. "
Qin Ziling frowned slightly, touched his chin, and paced back and forth in the hall.
"Is there anyone strong in the Golden Pill in Tianyan Sect?" Xiao Qing asked.
"I am certain that the supervisor is the Great Mystic Master, so there is a high probability that the Tianyan Sect has a strong Jindan master. Otherwise, with my current strength, I don't need to be afraid of the Tianyan Sect master behind the prince." Qin Ziling replied.
As soon as Qin Ziling finished speaking, someone from the Qin Mansion in Anhe Village sent a message saying that Qin Xingpeng, the elder of the Qin family in Wuzhou, was visiting.
Qin Xingpeng was Qin Zitang's nephew. When he heard that he was visiting, Qin Ziling thought about it and ordered someone to invite him to the governor's mansion.
There were some things that he didn't want his mother to know so as not to worry her.
Soon, Qin Xingpeng arrived at the governor's mansion.
When they met again, Qin Xingpeng was more calm and less arrogant than last time.
As soon as he saw Qin Ziling, he quickly raised his hands and said, "Xingpeng has met my uncle!"
"This is your aunt, Xiao Qing, the governor of Fangshu County." Qin Ziling pointed at Xiao Qing and said.
"Xingpeng has met my aunt!" Qin Xingpeng quickly said with his hands again.
Seeing that Qin Xingpeng, who was similar in age to herself, respectfully called her aunt, she remembered that he was the nephew of Qin Zitang, who was very close to her, so Xiao Qing loved him very much. Hearing this, he nodded with a smile, and then took out the storage ring. A "Run Zang Red Blood Pill" was handed to Qin Xingpeng and said: "This is the first time we meet, and I can't think of any suitable meeting gift. You can just take this 'Run Zang Red Blood Pill'."
Qin Xingpeng's heart trembled when he looked at the "Runzang Red Blood Pill" handed over by Xiao Qing.
This "Run Zang Red Blood Pill" is much more precious than the "Five Zang Guiyuan Pill" that Qin Ziling gave him as a meeting gift last time. One piece is worth four or five.
Last time, Qin Ziling casually gave Qin Xingpeng two "Five Treasures Guiyuan Pills". Qin Xingpeng felt that Qin Ziling was really generous and even more generous than the clan leader.
Unexpectedly, my aunt was even more generous, and she just picked up a "Run Zang Red Blood Pill"!
How did Qin Xingpeng know that the young aunt in front of him was now a martial arts saint, while at that time his uncle Zi Ling had not yet completely refined an organ and seemed to be just a quasi-grandmaster.
How could Qin Ziling at that time compare with Xiao Qing now?
"Since your aunt gave it to you, just take it." Seeing Qin Xingpeng's stunned look, Qin Ziling said lightly, seemingly unaware that he was younger than Qin Xingpeng in terms of age.
"Thank you, auntie." Seeing Qin Ziling say this, Qin Xingpeng accepted the "Runzang Red Blood Pill".
"Is the prince going to deal with the Qin family?" Qin Ziling asked after Qin Xingpeng accepted the elixir.
"How did my uncle know? Did you also hear the news in Xiyun Prefecture?" Qin Xingpeng said with a surprised look on his face.
"I just got some information and guessed it." Qin Ziling replied honestly.
Qin Xingpeng's face gradually became serious when he heard this, and said: "Recently, the forces belonging to the prince in Wuzhou have been mobilized quite intensively. I think the prince will take action against the Qin family in the near future. My aunt asked me to inform my uncle that you I have always kept a low profile and never showed any sharpness, and I am far away in Fangshan County. I don't think the prince knows that there is someone like you in the Qin family.
So she asked me to tell you, don't interfere in the Qin family and the prince's affairs, continue to keep a low profile, and save seeds for the Qin family. In addition to you, the Qin family has also made preparations for the rainy days and scattered some of its younger members to hibernate. However, those people are not very cultivated, and some are even just children, so after this storm is over, my uncle has the responsibility to take care of them, and the burden on his shoulders is also very heavy. "
"It seems that the Qin family has no chance of winning!" Qin Ziling said solemnly.
"The prince is now at the height of his power and his power is huge, but the Qin family has been in decline. How can there be any chance of winning! It's just a desperate battle based on the ancestral land." Qin Xingpeng said with a trace of sadness and anger on his face.
"In that case, why did the prince wait until now to take action against the Qin family?" Qin Ziling asked.
In fact, he had known for a long time that the Qin family and the prince were at loggerheads, but the prince never dared to attack the Qin family openly. Qin Ziling naturally thought that it was because of the constraints of various forces and did not pay too much attention to it.
Now it seems that something must have changed somewhere.
"The prince has long wanted to take action against the Qin family. However, Aunt Tian is a true disciple of the Tianyan Sect and is a person who is expected to break through and become a Xuan Master. One day, Aunt Tian did not induce thunder to temper the body. When the dust settled, the prince did not dare Take action. Two months ago, Tiangu's grandmother failed to temper thunder, so the prince no longer had any scruples.
They have been mobilizing people and horses in the past few days, and ordered many people to take turns to go to the government to sue the Qin family. Recently, the Qin family was accused of colluding with the Demon Sect to harm living beings, and the mobilization of troops has become more frequent and intensive. Therefore, we estimate that the day when the prince will take action against the Qin family is approaching, so my aunt sent me to inform you. "Qin Xingpeng replied.
