Chapter 49 Daqian No. 1 has guts
Chapter 49: Daqian's No. Courage (Three Updates!)
Before the imperial examinations of all races began, caravans of Hu merchants had already arrived in Kyoto one after another.
Making the already prosperous city even more lively.
The imperial court has ordered a ten-day curfew until the imperial examinations for all races are over.
So even though it had gotten dark, the streets were still as bright as day.
However, the prime minister's residence was surprisingly deserted.
A few days ago, Shen Kui announced to the public that he was seriously ill. Not only did he close his door to visitors, he also did not attend the morning court for several days.
From morning to night, I fish and play chess, having a great time.
But this game of chess has been deadlocked for half an hour.
Shen Kui was a little dissatisfied. He sat up from the recliner, glared at his little son who was scratching his head across the chessboard, and said unhappily: "Why has your chess ability dropped so much? Can you spare some energy from the woman's belly?"
Shen Jin laughed awkwardly and scratched his head helplessly.
He felt that the brain matter and the essence of life looked so similar that they must be the same thing.
If one of them is overused, the other will definitely have problems.
For example, now, ever since Qingqiu Ningning joined them, he felt that his head was immersed in the land of gentleness, living a life of drunkenness and dreams every day, and indeed he had become a lot duller.
Coupled with the distracting things, it was impossible to concentrate on the chessboard.
Shen Kui frowned and asked thoughtfully, "Your mortal enemy is in trouble, why haven't you shown any support these days?"
Shen Jin's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly explained with a smile: "Didn't you say that if you get involved with Qin Muye, nothing good will happen. As a son, I have to listen to you, right?"
Shen Qi thought about it and felt that this was true.
But this kid, when has he ever been so obedient?
Something feels wrong.
He was about to ask something when he saw a tall young man striding towards him.
"father!"
The young man stopped in front of Shen Kui and saluted respectfully.
He is Shen Kui's eldest son Shen Luo, currently serving as a seventh-rank official in the Ministry of Justice.
Shen Kui glanced at his eldest son with satisfaction and asked with a smile, "How is the situation now?"
Shen Luo said respectfully: "Hu Huan has gone mad this time. He went to the Great Sage Temple and invited many great demons to stand up for him, vowing to execute Qin Yanying."
Shen Kui took a sip of tea slowly and smiled meaningfully: "They are confident! When do they plan to hold the trial?"
"The demon officials who are supposed to come will arrive tomorrow. They are scheduled to arrive tomorrow."
Shen Luo looked a little serious: "Dad! Are we really not going to take action? Now is not the time to turn against the Qin family. Although Qin Yanying is hard to kill, if he is locked up in a prison run by those evil officials, the southwest may riot in a few years."
Shen Kui put down the teacup and smiled faintly: "A riot? It depends on whether Qin Kaijiang dares to do it! From today on, you should not go out. Just wait and see what happens."
"father……"
Shen Luo was a little surprised and suspicious. Although he knew that the Shen and Qin families had been enemies for a long time, it was only a matter of time before they fell out.
But in his opinion, it is far from being right to turn against the Qin family now.
Why...
Could it be that my father has already grasped the trump card that can easily balance the southwest?
He felt a little uneasy, but seeing Shen Qi's confident look, he chose to believe his father.
Moreover, the Shen family has a good relationship with those evil officials. If they were to obstruct them for the sake of the so-called overall situation and become enemies with the evil official group, the only ones that would suffer would be the interests of the Shen family.
However, if he lets those evil officials do what they want, Qin Yanying will probably not have a good ending.
After all, Yali's status among the demon officials is not just talk.
……
Princess's Mansion.
After listening to Pu Mingzhu's report, Li Xingluo's face turned gloomy, and he could not help but snorted: "Yayu is so proud that he actually invited all those big monsters here."
Pu Mingzhu sighed softly, "Those old guys care about their reputation, but as long as they are sitting in the back court, the chief judge dare not ignore them. Princess, this time..."
She was talking.
The concierge suddenly ran over in a hurry: "Princess Emperor, Taoist Kongxu is here."
"Please!"
"Yes!"
After a while, the doorman came over quickly with a puppet.
The puppet bowed and said, "The princess summoned me here, but have you made any progress?"
Li Xingluo nodded and said solemnly: "The situation is not optimistic. This time..." She explained the current situation in detail and added: "The situation is now precarious. First, we must break free from the blockade of the Honglu Temple, and second, we must obtain the support of the emperor. Sir, are you willing to... present the flying boat to the emperor?"
"This……"
"I know your concerns. You built this flying boat just to strengthen our human race, but you are worried that Your Majesty will have an ambiguous attitude towards the demon officials. In fact, there is no need to worry about this. With a sharp blade in hand, the desire to kill will arise. Father is not a coward."
"What the princess said makes sense!"
The puppet nodded: "However, how can we block the Honglu Temple?"
Li Xingluo thought for a moment: "This... requires someone to fight for their lives!"
"Who?"
"The reporter, and... the Qin family!"
"After everything is accomplished, can you help General Qin escape punishment?"
"Try to lock her up in the Jinyiwei cell."
"..."
The puppet didn't speak.
Li Xingluo hesitated and asked, "Sir, are you dissatisfied?"
The puppet said directly: "I am indeed a little dissatisfied. You and I have paid too much, and even let the reporter and the Qin family fight to the death, but this is the only outcome. It's not worth it!"
Hear this.
Pu Mingzhu couldn't help but frown. With his current status as a demon official, it was not easy to do this. But this bully was still not satisfied.
Do you really think that the princess has the final say?
Just when she was about to say something.
Li Xingluo asked, "Sir, do you have a better solution?"
The puppet thought for a moment and said, "There is one, but it requires Princess Di to take some risks. If it works, not only will it help General Qin get rid of the crime, but it will also let those beasts who eat raw meat and drink blood know what the price is!"
"Appreciate further details!"
Li Xingluo looked a little surprised. He didn't expect that he would dare to make such a guarantee.
The puppet's tone was filled with hostility.
Let her appreciate it even more!
Pu Mingzhu, however, disagreed, thinking that this man really thought he was a god.
But after listening to what the puppet said.
The two women were stunned and looked at each other for a long time.
It took me a while to come back to my senses.
Li Xingluo then exclaimed: "Sir, you are truly a god!"
I thought he just had some immature views.
As a result, this method of winning over and dividing can be said to be quite cruel.
And it’s highly feasible!
The puppet waved his hand: "These are all later stories. Before we rescue General Qin, everything is false."
Li Xingluo couldn't help but sigh: "It is said that the great prosperity of the Great Qian Dynasty with all the demons coming to pay tribute is a rare and prosperous era. It's a pity that the king will fall with this prosperity. The price paid for this false prosperity is too high. Who would have thought that just to snatch General Qin out, he would have to take such a big risk."
Pu Mingzhu frowned and asked, "Princess Di! Do you think Qin Muye... dares?"
Li Xingluo was also a little uncertain: "I just hope that these years in Kyoto have not worn away his character, and that he can be as courageous as when the prince donated his marrow!"
puppet:"……"
……
There is no curfew in Kyoto.
At the hour of Xu, even the city gates were not closed, and people were still coming and going in an endless stream.
In order to ensure the normal operation of the imperial examinations of all races, all the imperial guards were dispatched to check the vehicles and pedestrians entering the city.
"stop!"
The chief of the imperial guards stopped a carriage and glanced at the two teams of guards behind it.
The carriage was unremarkable.
But the people behind him obviously had a similar temperament to him, and their aura was even stronger than his. They were all leading tall horses and were obviously not ordinary people.
A soldier!
And they are elite!
He knocked on the carriage door frame: "Who are you?"
A handsome young man opened the door curtain and handed over a badge with a smile: "Qin Family, Qin Mingri!"
