"Your Highness, who among us should play?"
King Ning looked at the remaining six Xia Kingdom's geniuses and felt bitter in his heart. Even if they won this competition, Qin Shu would have stolen the limelight, and promoting the country's prestige would become a joke.
Seeing that victory no longer mattered, King Ning waved his hand: "Qin Shu should be reaching his limit. You can decide for yourself."
Seeing Prince Ning's attitude, the geniuses of the Xia Kingdom became helpless, and finally allowed a genius of the second level of the Yuan-building Realm to come to power.
"Xia Guolu Renyi."
After a while, Lu Renyi fell from the ring.
Qin Shu cupped his fists and said, "I accept."
When Prince Ning saw this scene, the expression on his face did not fluctuate so much. The corner of his mouth twitched, but he still had some energy left!
Only then did he realize that Qin Shu was a genius beyond common sense. How could he be judged by common sense?
After the fourth genius of the Xia Kingdom was knocked off the ring by Qin Shu, King Ning became numb, his whole body drooped, and he looked like he had been spoiled.
I originally thought that the Yuan-building realm was the most stable place for Xia Kingdom, and I even wanted to kill it with Fang Xiu alone. But now, I am about to be killed by Qin Shu alone.
In the discussion between the two countries, it was the Xia Dynasty who took the initiative to request it. If they failed to win, it would be a big shame.
Emperor Liang had a smile on his face at this moment. He was about to win all three games. He wanted to vigorously promote the country's prestige and stopped the competition before the fifth genius of the Xia Kingdom came on stage.
Then the eunuch announced in a male duck's voice: "Qin Shu, listen to the order!"
Qin Shu saluted and said, "I accept the order."
"Wuxuanhou Qin Shu has outstanding martial arts, surpasses all heroes in his skills, and has won great honors for his country. He is specially named a general and will be rewarded with a bottle of the fourth-level elixir Panacea, a hundred catties of intermediate black iron, and a gold medal for victory...I admire this."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qin Shu said. He didn't expect to be rewarded so quickly. He was given the title of General with a mixed title. That is, the person in power makes up a general title at random, but does not have much power. Such general names are generally very nice. , has some meaning.
Prince Ning's originally numb face turned gloomy again. The final winner had not yet been decided, so he was awarded the reward in advance?
Damn it, so weird!
Prince Ning felt his face was burning, but now that the Liang Dynasty was in full swing, their chances of winning were slim, and they had no choice but to endure being treated so strangely by Emperor Liang.
Ye Han suddenly felt sour. He had awarded Qin Shu many good things, and even promoted him to a noble title, but he only had a few resources and a false reputation, and no official title, even if it was for a ninth-grade lieutenant with a miscellaneous title!
They all have made meritorious deeds. Is this the difference between getting rewards based on their status?
Emperor Liang looked at Qin Shu and said with satisfaction: "Qin Aiqing, I will continue to work hard. I am optimistic about you."
"Yes." Qin Shu put away the imperial edict. Although he was a powerless general, he could at least receive the salary of a marquis and a general.
"Yes." Emperor Liang nodded, and continued: "Prince Qi often complains to me recently about the lack of manpower in the palace. Qin Aiqing should go and help. You are both young people and it is easier for you to communicate."
"As for the arrangements made by Xia Aiqing, Qin Aiqing doesn't have to worry about it. I will make other arrangements."
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Chenghuan's hand holding the wine glass froze.
Qin Shu's brows suddenly condensed. The prince, King Qi, and King Chen all offered olive branches to him before, but they were all rejected for the same reason. At this time, Emperor Liang asked him to go to the palace of King Qi. This was not to let him provoke the prince and King Chen. , push it into the fire pit? He also gave up his reasons for rejecting the three of them!
But I just gave him face!
Qin Shu looked up at Emperor Liang with no expression on his face.
Emperor Liang narrowed his eyes, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and met Qin Shu's eyes: "What? Qin Aiqing doesn't want to?"
Qin Shu already understood the real purpose of Emperor Liang's previous reward. It was not just for merit, but to give you some benefits first and then arrange things for you. It would be difficult to refuse this combo.
Especially since all of this was done in public, it would be even harder to refuse if the reason was not on his side.
One link after another, courtesy first and then attack.
Qin Shu could also see that this Liang Emperor was really a serious emperor, mean and ungrateful, and deeply scheming.
Qin Shu felt very unhappy at being plotted in this way. Since he could cheat, his own fate could not be arranged by others!
Thousands of thoughts kept changing, and finally turned into a road.
Qin Shu said indifferently: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Upon seeing this, Prince Ning couldn't help but shake his head and smile knowingly.
The meaning in Emperor Liang's eyes was even stronger. No matter how good Qin Shu was, he was only his minister of Liang Dynasty. He was the real master, and his ministers must listen to his orders.
Emperor Liang turned to look at Xiao Yian: "King Qi, I arranged for Qin Aiqing to go to your house to help, are you satisfied?"
Xiao Yian was overjoyed and saluted: "My dear father, thank you!"
He wanted to win over Qin Shu before, but was rejected. Now that Emperor Liang offered Qin Shu to him, it was too late to be happy.
Prince Xiao Chenghuan smiled at this time and said: "Third brother, with the help of Marquis Qin, your work will be completed quickly. Don't rely on Marquis Qin to let you go. The court will still need Marquis Qin's place in the future."
Xiao Yian replied: "What the prince taught me is that I will remember it."
Emperor Liang smiled happily: "I am very pleased to see that your brothers are so clear-minded."
"Prince, King Chu, King Qi, King Chen, Qin Aiqing has unlimited potential. In the future, he will be a pillar of our country and a pillar of our country. You must treat him with the courtesy of a national scholar, do you understand?"
The three brothers said in unison, "I understand."
"Huh?" Emperor Liang noticed that one person was missing and frowned: "Where is Prince Chen? Why don't you see Lao Liu?"
Xiao Yian replied: "Father, the sixth brother went out after someone from the house said something happened in the house. He hasn't come back yet."
Regret appeared on Emperor Liang's face: "It's a pity that King Chen can't appreciate Qin Aiqing's style in person. With his character, he must like Qin Aiqing very much."
Xiao Yian said: "It can only be said that the sixth brother has no chance, but father, don't worry, I will convey the father's words to the sixth brother."
"Yeah, sensible." Emperor Liang said, glancing at Qin Shu.
"Let the competition continue."
The eunuch announced that the competition would continue, and the genius from Xixia had just come on stage.
At this time, a eunuch hurried from outside, knelt down and said tremblingly:
"Your Majesty, something bad has happened. King Chen...His Royal Highness King Chen has been killed!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was shocked. King Chen was killed!
Qin Shu frowned. Xiao Haoyan directly attracted him on the grounds of collaborating on big things before the competition started. At that time, he felt that he was unscrupulous. Why is he gone now? How many episodes have it been since?
The heartless prince really died quickly...
"Sixth brother!" Xiao Chenghuan and Xiao Yian looked at each other, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.
Emperor Liang's calm eyes made waves, he stood up and said in disbelief: "What did you say! What happened to King Chen?"
The eunuch said: "Prince Chen...His Royal Highness Prince Chen was killed on the way back to his mansion. The wounds on his body are suspected to be...suspected of being bitten by a monster. Commander Xia is controlling the scene."
"Lao Liu... is gone..." Emperor Liang got the answer again. His son was really killed, and his heart instantly hurt.
Then he became furious.
"Asshole!!"
"How could my son be harmed by the demon clan!"
When he shouted these words, Emperor Liang turned to look at King Ning. He had known for a long time that there was a monster clan sneaking into Kyoto City, and the Xia Kingdom's envoy arrived a few days later. It is difficult not to think of the two parties together.
In the current competition, Xia Guo's side has a slim chance of winning. Taking action at this time makes people feel that they are angry and trying to vent their anger;
Or maybe according to Xia Guo's plan, they won all three games at this time, and then took the opportunity to attack the demon clan at this time. As a result, they were completely defeated now, and the demon clan still launched an attack according to the plan.
Prince Ning's eyelids jumped, and he understood that Emperor Liang was doubting them, so he said righteously: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Chen was murdered, we must thoroughly investigate the truth! Revenge His Royal Highness King Chen Zhaoxue!"
That's all I can say at this time, otherwise the more I say, the more likely it is to make people suspicious.
Emperor Liang snorted coldly, knowing that there was no evidence yet to prove that the Xia Kingdom and the demon clan were colluding, so he rashly cut these people into trouble.
"I will investigate thoroughly! I will not let any murderer go!"
"Show off!"
A group of eunuchs quickly brought the dragon chariot over, and Emperor Liang boarded it and left directly.
Seeing that the competition could no longer proceed normally, Qin Shu saluted his opponent and walked down from the ring without following him, because there was no point in going.
The scene is protected so that no one can easily approach it. Those who can approach it are specialized investigation agencies.
Besides, why would you see a corpse if you have nothing to do?
Just ask your uncle for the specific situation.
Zheng Guan came up to greet him, and Qin Shu immediately ordered: "Zheng Guan, you go and inform your uncle to come back to your house when you have time. I am waiting for him."
Zheng Guan: "Yes."
After giving the instructions, Qin Shu sighed deeply, knowing that something would definitely happen if Xia Guo and the Monster Clan entered the city together.
The wind is finally blowing in Kyoto City.
Qin Shu smiled coldly, this wind came at the right time!
