When things go wrong, there must be monsters. The establishment and prosperity of Yuelai Inn are full of weirdness. Even though Qin Congnong is not a man of power, he cannot help but pay attention to it all the time.
No method can win over the people more than caring about people's livelihood. The arrogance of spending huge sums of money to benefit the people may be sincere, but the purpose of the people behind the scenes may not be as simple as it seems on the surface.
Qin Congnong understands his own value and can barely guess Yan Ci's true intentions. However, he has been restrained by the belief of being loyal to the emperor for too long, and he is old. Compared with a few years ago, his appearance has not changed, but his ambition has faded. As I grow old, my ambition to reach high levels is gradually lost in my comfortable life.
Outside Chuihong Tower, Yan Ci greeted him with a smile, as if someone else had poisoned the General's Mansion last night.
Ren Hongxiao originally didn't want to see this bastard again, but unfortunately she had to come because the two strands of aura that knocked Qin Congnong out of the air were nowhere to be found.
But since Yan Ci left harsh words, I'm afraid there is a trump card hidden within him.
Invited to the main room, he was seated as host and guest, and the maid presented several plates of exquisite pastries to entertain the guests.
Yan Ci saw that Qin Congnong was still calm and composed, and praised: "The mountain collapsed in front of him but his appearance remained unchanged. The general is really extraordinary."
Qin Congnong said calmly: "I have a decrepit body, what is there to be afraid of?"
Yan Ci said: "In that case, why are you here now?"
Qin Congnong said: "To have a glimpse of the young hero's style."
Yan Ci was silent, waved his sleeves and took out a pot of spirit wine. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Ren Hongxiao and said, "Yan once tried brewing a pot according to the original flavor of pure love. I don't know if he got it right. Please let the fairy taste it."
It was almost a small grudge from the previous life, and Yan Ci was still fussing over it. This move made people even more disdainful. Ren Hongxiao just touched her red lips slightly, stopped her cup and said, "I don't have time to chat with you, so I can hurry up if I can!"
This wine is fragrant, extremely strong, and spicy. Although it is similar to Chiziqing, it has more spiritual power and a more unique flavor.
When Qin Congnong saw Ren Hongxiao's gesture, he immediately raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.
The greasy-faced Yingying Cultivator turned out to be a master of wine. His name was Han Qian. He licked his lips and tasted it and said in surprise: "Songling wine is a nourishing and healing holy wine whose brewing method has long been lost!"
"Bole Xiangma, it's Brother Han who knows the goods." Yan Ci said with a smile, "Mr. Qin is supported by the people, how dare Yan dare to kill him? Last night, I urged him to drink this cup of pine-aged wine with two fingers, in order to cure Mr. Qin's new disease. It’s just illness.”
Han Qian and Ren Hongxiao both looked moved. Qin Congnong seemed to be fine on the surface, but in fact he had been ill for several months, and they had not yet figured out an effective treatment. Yan Ci can see through the mystery at a glance, so no one can help but take a high look.
Ren Hongxiao's hostility still lingered, and she asked, "If you don't speak secretly in front of people, how can Brother Yan be so sure that this disease can be cured?"
Yan Ci said: "Xuanyuan's nine-needle Qihuang technique is known to have a miraculous effect of rejuvenation. However, if the nine needles are used in reverse, or if the needles are left in the body, the patient's righteous qi will be deficient and cannot be replenished, and the evil qi will be full and unable to be purged. He will suffer from pain in the morning and evening every day. The paralysis worsened, ranging from a few days to half a year, and he died of yin deficiency and yang exhaustion. Yan had heard of this case in the past, and when he saw it last night, he pulled out the needle to promote qi. If he added spiritual wine to moisten the body, he should It’s okay.”
Ren Hongxiao asked: "Where is the needle?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly saw Mr. Qin open his palm, and there was a blood needle as thin as a cow's hair, one inch and six minutes long.
Qin Congnong said frankly: "I took out this needle from my knee last night, and the numbness and pain have been greatly reduced this morning. If Brother Yan hadn't told me, I might still be in the dark."
Yan Ci explained: "Spiritual thoughts can be used to look inside or see through the body, but counter-nine needles use the patient's blood and energy to move the needles around the twelve original points, which is convenient for hiding and difficult for practitioners who are not familiar with this disease to detect."
After a brief pause, he continued: "Those who receive acupuncture often suffer from imbalance of yin and yang, agitation, weak strength, and accelerated aging. Mr. Qin's appearance at this time should not be his true appearance."
Qin Congnong was stunned and said with a wry smile: "Brother Yan's eyes are as bright as lightning, which is the result of the illusionary bone-changing skill of the Yinhuan Fairy."
Yan Ci nodded and praised: "The art of ghost transformation is indeed well-deserved!"
The situation has become clear. Yan Ci's threats last night were out of good intentions.
Ren Hongxiao suddenly lost his guard and said sarcastically: "It turns out that Brother Yan said those harsh words because of this." While he was grateful, he suddenly remembered another thing and asked hurriedly: "I heard that Xuanyuan's disciples came to see him in the early days. Could it be that it was because of this?" Those messy hands and feet."
Qin Congnong has seen very few outsiders in recent years. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that it made sense. He sighed sadly: "The reason I have been suffering these past few months is because I am too close to the world of cultivation."
To be more specific, Qin Congnong was of great importance in the imperial court. He was qualified to be a general based on his meritorious service, but he was never conferred because of his affair with Xilinfang.
When Pan Sheng was about to die, all the summers were broken, and the extravagant style of the court continued unabated.
Qin Congnong retired to Linquan to retire because he had not been employed for a long time. He spent his whole day admiring flowers and playing with birds. His life was very boring.
Han Qian was originally a guard of Qin Congnong. He was appreciated by Pan Shenglin for his spiritual roots and was trained as a guest minister in Xilinfang.
After Xilinfang was disbanded, Han Qian missed his old master and continued to return to serve him.
Qin Congnong did not dare to accept the condescension of the Transformation Infant Cultivator to a mortal, so he kowtowed and exchanged posts to form incense brothers.
All the fusion cultivators and earthly people who are proficient in martial arts in the General's Mansion were recruited and trained by this person.
I still remember that during the Beginning of Summer, two strange cultivators came to visit with generous gifts. They did not want to reveal their identities when they met, but they dared to say frankly that the days of the imperial court were over and persuaded Qin Congnong to assist the anti-violent righteous forces to overthrow the imperial power while being surrounded by Han Qian and others.
Qin Congnong flatly refused on the grounds of loyalty to the emperor. If Han Qian had not secretly stopped him, he would have sent the two rebels to the official for questioning.
The visitor saw that Qin Congnong was resolute and refused to force him. Before leaving, he left a message saying that he was willing to wait for Mr. Qin to think about it for a while.
Han Qian had also participated in the Battle of Canghai, and he vaguely felt that the visitor looked courteous and courteous on the outside, but the arrogance and arrogance in his heart was very much like that of some descendants of the Xuanyuan clan.
According to later investigations, the Xuanyuan Family was indeed the supporter of the most powerful rebel party in the South.
Although Han Qian suspected that Qin Congnong's illness was related to those two people, he was unable to find the source of the disease and reluctantly postponed it until now.
After asking around, I found out that Ren Hongxiao was Qin Congnong's niece. She traveled to many places to seek treatment from famous doctors. When she returned to Longxi, she happened to meet Yan Ci, which led to an embarrassing incident.
Yan Ci couldn't help but regret when he thought about his experience that day, and immediately poured wine to apologize.
Ren Hongxiao finished her drink with a blushing face and suddenly said: "When I came, my little sister had already asked people to cancel the announcement. I hope Brother Yan will accept it."
When this matter was mentioned, Yan Ci was speechless.
Before I woke up this morning, Zhang Kuang had already unveiled the list and rushed to report. Fortunately, he had no other acquaintances in Longxi, otherwise he would have nothing to show for his appearance.
Slightly tipsy, Yan Ci asked, "The world is in turmoil. How will Mr. Qin live in peace in the future?"
Qin Congnong said: "I'm just wasting my old age, what else can I do?"
Yan Ci said: "Old Qin is a great man who is looked up to by the people. Doesn't he have no intention of saving the people from fire and water?"
Qin Congnong sighed: "I am a broken body, but the court refuses to use it, so I can only spend my life focusing on the mountains and rivers."
Yan Ci said: "It is easy to establish a country but hard to defend it. The royal family has so many shortcomings that there is no cure. Why doesn't Mr. Qin choose another virtuous leader to reshape the country?"
Qin Congnong stopped him and said, "To eat the emperor's salary is to be loyal to the emperor. Such words that support rebellion and usurpation should be used with caution."
Yan Ci said: "A person who is a minister of the utmost importance must understand that the people are more important than the king. Mr. Qin is not a general of the court, but a general of the country and a general of the people."
He sneered several times and continued: "Since the founding of the country to this day, has the court had a capable leader? Can the people have a peaceful life? The families of officials and wealthy people indulge in pleasure and have done great damage to the country. The world is full of rumors. Yin Yifeng, Yin Rou Feng and Dark Wind, Qin Laodan has a heart full of blood, so why he insists on being loyal to the foolish emperor and the rebellious ministers really puzzles Yan."
Qin Congnong was silent for a while, then asked with a smile: "According to Brother Yan, it seems that I have arranged a destination for me."
Yan Ci smiled and said: "Suffering hardship will lead to change. The will to change the new dynasty has long been merged into a rolling torrent, and the signs of the dynasty's early death are already clear. If Mr. Qin is interested, Yan can tell me where to go."
Qin Congnong had a vague guess, but he didn't dare to believe it, so he pretended not to know: "But please give me some advice."
Yan Ci said: "If you look at all the armies in detail, they are all led by vassal kings or foreigners from various places. They are full of selfish ideas and harm the country and the people. They are not good trees. It is better to organize a new army and select enlightened and benevolent leaders to support it so as to achieve great things. .”
Qin Congnong asked casually: "Who is this master?"
Yan Ci turned his eyes to look at Zhang Kuang and said in a deep voice: "Far away in the horizon, but close in front of you."
The crowd was stunned, but looking back on Zhang Guang's good deeds, intelligence, talent, and popularity in Longxi City, he indeed had the potential to be a sage.
Qin Congnong completely confirmed his inner conjecture and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's really difficult to stand out in troubled times! Besides, Heyue Lai's inn and the general's mansion have assets, so the army he recruited may not be easy to defeat in the southern border. Get a foothold.
Yan Ci said proudly: "No need to worry, Yuelai Inn has strong financial resources, which can be used for the rebellion. Since Yan has issued the initiative, he will not stay out of the matter. He will clean up all the rebels in the south one by one."
The words were so firm that Ren Hongxiao and Han Qiandeng became enthusiastic and couldn't help but believe that Tong Chenyuan was behind them.
Qin Congnong advised: "There are many figures of cultivation sects moving behind the armies. If you are too showy, you may not be beautiful."
Yan Ci sneered and said, "Each faction has an evil face, but they like to show off superficially. Because of this, they are more suitable to fish in troubled waters."
Ren Hongxiao suddenly said: "Brother Yan has a promise to the goddess, why bother to wade through this muddy water in the world of mortals?"
Yan Ci sighed softly and said slowly: "You should have heard about Yan's life story."
Ren Hongxiao smiled and said, "Brother Yan has been the focus of the world for a long time. Who in the world of cultivation doesn't know about this?"
Yan Ci sighed: "After all, Yingge City is the place where I raised my children. Although I have no close relatives, I do have relatives. It is really unbearable to see me displaced and suffering from poverty and chaos."
The people of Xia all observe filial piety. Some regrets have become a foregone conclusion, but it is human nature to provide some shelter to the village.
Qin Congnong had experienced human affairs for a long time and had no doubt about Yan Ci's true intentions. He stood up and immediately went to the court to show his courtesy as a minister and said resolutely: "I am willing to serve."
Arrogant and surprised, he hurriedly came to help.
Yan Ci caught a glimpse of Ren Hongxiao and Han Qian standing there with smiles on their faces. He suddenly realized and sighed: "In his old age, Mr. Qin really doesn't want to stay lonely and has plans to make a comeback."
Qin Congnong smiled and said: "There are brave men and women throughout the government, how can I care about the mountains and rivers?"
