At 5 o'clock in the morning, the sound of roosters gradually sounded. Although there were no crowing roosters in the Qin Mansion, Qin Feng still got up on time. Although he tried his best to reduce his noise, Qin Zhuo still woke up.
Qin Zhuo's sleepy look made Qin Feng laugh. Qin Zhuo seemed unaware of his appearance and asked: "Qin Feng, what are you doing up so early?"
"Of course I'm going home to find my mother. By the way, Qin Zhuo, isn't Aunt Wang there too? Why don't you go and have a look?"
Mentioning Wang Ru, Qin Zhuo suddenly woke up, but since hearing their conversation that night, Qin Zhuo still didn't dare to face his mother, hesitantly said: "Go, go."
Not only Qin Feng was so impatient, Qin Jingru was also so impatient. When she returned home last night, the shield guard told her that Qin Guan had just gone out. She thought Qin Guan had something important to do but was waiting in the hall, and ended up falling asleep on the table. Although the shield guard advised her not to wait any longer, she still insisted on waiting here. During her time in Fengya City, she saw endless corpses and mutilated bodies being transported continuously, and heard the sound of shouting and knocking on the earth. This was the first time she had seen such a scene since she was born. As the city lord, she had to show a strong heart to appease the people, but in fact she had collapsed a long time ago. Death was beside her. She Thinking back to the fact that he had planned to participate in this war at the beginning, how ridiculous this idea was. Imperial soldiers were different from those bandits. They were stronger and well-trained. If he had really stood on the battlefield, he would probably have been exposed to such a scene. Scared to death.
So she hoped to get guidance from Qin Guan. Her father had participated in the war and was in charge of the entire Qin County. There must be a way to guide her.
Qin Jingru opened her eyes, but she only saw the shield guard sitting at the door. She had been covered with a piece of fur at some point. She put the fur aside and walked gently towards the door. Unexpectedly, she still woke up. Shield guard, Qin Jingru had no choice but to ask:
"Is my father back?"
"Not yet, maybe, the master stayed at the princess's mansion last night."
"How about I go find him?"
Just as Qin Jingru was about to go out, she saw Qin Guan stepping into the door. She fell into Qin Guan's arms like a wronged child. Qin Guan already knew what happened to Jingru and gently touched her. her head.
"I originally planned to bring you back half a month ago. At that time, a secret letter was sent from the northern border (Qinjun border) telling me that Hunsweai had mobilized a large number of troops and was very likely to take advantage of the opportunity. But the next day A secret letter was sent urgently, and their Wokelan launched a mutiny. I felt that they would no longer have the intention to invade the Bladeless Country, so I left you there."
Qin Guan led Jing Ru to the hall, and only then did he realize that the guest chairs in the hall had been "tortured" to varying degrees. In order to supplement the battlefield strength, Qin Guan invited hundreds of masters of large and small mansions around the county and city, or Asking or ordering someone to help others will naturally arouse their resentment. However, such emotions can only be vented to the chair that holds them up.
Qin Jingru sat on the damaged chair. The remaining energy in the chair made her feel the emotions of those people, and her inner emotions were brought out again.
Qin Guan said: "Jingru, do you know how long it has been since the last large-scale war?"
He thought for a moment and said, "Nine years ago, the God of Creation led an army to retake the Holy Light Continent."
"No, no, didn't Mr. Guo say anything to you?" Qin Guan shook his head.
"Mr. Guo said that it was the God of Creation who led more than 20 warriors to win the war?"
"That's right, so it wasn't that time."
"But how is that possible? You have never said anything about this."
"That's because I don't want you to participate in any war. I have constantly asked you to improve yourself, just so that you can survive in the chaos. I have lost your mother, so I can only let you live well. Stay alive."
"The real war can be traced back to the last battle of the ancient god Zhuge Yanpo. There are countless shady strategies used. You have to learn some of them. You can not use them, but you can't not use them."
Qin Guan suddenly raised his tone: "The higher you are in a high position, the more you will see the big things right and wrong, and you must have far-sightedness. Ability is ultimately the foundation."
At this time, a soldier rushed to the mansion and said: "Qin Feng wants to break into Qin Ge's mansion to see his mother, and Qin Zhuo is also following him. Princess, what should we do?"
Qin Guan asked Jing Ru: "Have you told Qin Feng about Qin Ge's death in battle?"
Jing Ru said embarrassedly: "Not yet. A friend Qin Feng met in Fengya City died in the war. I don't want to hit him again."
"But now I have to put some pressure on him, and the comfortable life in the past is about to end." After that, Qin Guan took Jing Ru to Qin Ge's Mansion.
When they arrived at the place, Qin Feng was actually detained at this time. The guard told Qin Guan that Qin Feng wanted to use force to enter.
Qin Guan said coldly: "Jing Ru, put out the fire for him."
Those who didn't understand just stood there blankly, but Qinguan took action directly, and the water attribute energy was shot out by Qinguan's hand in an instant. It was the first time that he had seen energy shot out of thin air, and the power was so powerful The control was excellent, but Qin Feng was pushed back.
Seeing Qin Guan, Qin Feng immediately became frightened, but still asked angrily: "Why don't you let me see my mother?"
"Your mother is not at home now, so of course she can't let you in."
This explanation was so far-fetched, but Qin Feng could only say: "Why don't I go back to my home?" His tone was obviously much calmer.
"Qin Ge's Mansion has been closed by the Xing Mansion. No one is allowed to enter or leave. From now on, you will live in Qin Gao's Mansion."
Without giving Qin Feng a chance to speak, Qin Guan's tone rose again: "And I also want to tell you that your father Qin Ge has died on the battlefield, and his body has been burned, and you have no chance to pay homage."
This news immediately made Qin Feng at a loss. Gao Guo's death had made him personally experience the grief of the death of a loved one. Who knew that such news would come one after another.
Qin Zhuo stood by his side. He himself had not yet gotten over the haze of losing his father. Moreover, blocking Qin Ge's Mansion meant that he would not be able to see his mother.
Seeing how "busy" the place is, many neighbors have gathered around. Although they know that someone died in Qinge's house, they don't know anything about the rest, not even who died.
When they saw Qin Feng, there was a lot of discussion. The people who came first heard all Qin Guan's words, and told the people behind him their conjecture: It is probably because Qin Ge's wife Luo Shan killed someone and died. Qin Gao's wife Wang Ru was banned just because she was a guest here.
At this time, Qin Feng was completely immersed in grief, but Qin Jingru, who was very close to the crowd, heard this ridiculous talk and quickly ordered the crowd to be dispersed. If such words were spread widely, it would be detrimental to Luo Shan and even the entire Qin family. influential.
Qin Jingru also realized that he was the only one in this group of people who could break the deadlock. The servants and soldiers did not have such qualifications, but the shield guard was on his father's side and could not do anything without his orders. As for the What should I do? Ordinary people lose their loved ones. She can just say some words of comfort and pay some pensions. But Qin Feng and Qin Zhuo are her younger brothers. The comfort is not very useful, and the money is even less useful. It's possible.
Just when Jing Ru was racking his brains, Qin Guan walked up to her at some point and whispered to her: Take Qin Feng and Qin Zhuo to the city lord's mansion to meet Luo Shan, and he wanted to talk to Wang Ru.
Since his father was willing to give in, Qin Zhuo could only take him away first. He probably had something important to talk about in private.
Jing Ru walked to Qin Feng, leaned over to Qin Feng's ear, and whispered: "I will take you to see your mother."
When he heard that he could see his mother, Qin Feng didn't think anything more. He quickly stood up and took Qin Jingru's wrist, and carefully hid in Qin Guan's blind spot, as if he wanted to avoid being noticed by Qin Guan.
Qin Jingru turned around and took Qin Zhuo's hand, leading the two of them towards the city lord's mansion.
Qing Guan, who stayed in place, waited for the three of them to leave before entering Qing Ge's mansion. Wang Ru had already expected Qing Guan to come in and sat on the chair in advance.
As soon as Qin Guan stepped onto the threshold, Wang Ru asked, "Is there anything you want to say?"
"Wang Ru, if you have any secrets, I can help you on behalf of the Qin family and even Qin County. I think you did such a thing because you were threatened."
"Help me? How can you help me? What can you do to help me? Why should you help me if you can't even help yourself? A fragmented Qin County has a hundred cities in its territory."
Qin Guan was stuck in his throat by this series of questions. Wang Ru saw his appearance and continued:
"As the eldest son of Qin He, what have you learned after following your father for so many years? The chess game your father set up was completely ruined by you."
You must know that the five counties are not managed equally, but independently control one aspect of the power. This was proposed by Qin He. At first, Qin He proposed such a management system, especially when the Qin family came to manage the army, it was almost unanimously opposed. , and the only one who allowed it was the God of Creation. He and Qin He both believed that the Chosen One needed the support of the army, so they distributed it like this. Qin County controlled troops, Cheng County did business, Zhou County farmed, Qi County made weapons, and Wu County After the war, the dynasty was in power, but what the five counties did still needed to be regulated by the dynasty, just like the grain harvest from Zhou County before the war had to be transported to the dynasty first.
In the eyes of outsiders, Qin He proposed such a system entirely for his own selfish interests. Even if the deployment of troops required arrangements from the dynasty, he still had the ability to privately mobilize small-scale troops and use them to attack the dynasty.
It's just that all this became no longer a problem after Qin Guan came to power. His own influence was far less than that of his father, and his political methods and strategic vision were not very good. It can even be said that he completely neglected the acquisition of Qin County's territorial resources. Focusing on blood refining, they also ignored the attention paid by the large and small forces in Hui County and the city on weekdays. Wang Fu's faction was able to rise because of his loopholes, and it was not only Wang Fu's family, but he developed the fastest.
The reason why Qin He wants Qin Guan to stop fighting against the Wang family is precisely because of this. If he can reconcile with Wang Al, he will naturally be able to help the Qin family suppress those who are ready to move. It is a pity that Qin Guan did not realize this. .
