Chapter 90 Maybe I came at the wrong time!
Chapter 90 Maybe I came at the wrong time!
The atmosphere above and below the Weapon Casting Platform suddenly dropped to freezing point.
Everyone held their breath, afraid of making any sound.
This scene came too suddenly, and everyone present could hardly accept it for a moment.
In the past, there were many people in Beijing who advocated the Qin family threat theory.
But the emperor never responded directly, and always referred to Qin Kaijiang as his good brother.
However, the fact that the Qin family threat theory has existed for such a long time shows that the emperor definitely does not completely not care.
It’s just because the news has never been released, so many people who want to make use of it have no idea where to start.
But this time, all races are holding an imperial examination.
Annanwei's performance was really cruel.
True.
The most amazing person is indeed the woman named Wu Lu.
But that is just one person’s cultivation. How many people in the entire Daqian have such a talent for cultivation?
But the Annan Guards are all young men of civilian origin. Their average cultivation is only slightly higher than that of the elite soldiers of the same age in other armies, but the combat effectiveness they demonstrate is simply incomparable.
The black heron is unique.
But the Annan Guards can be trained in large numbers. Even if their training is of a lower level, they are definitely superior to all human armies. Even if they are mixed with demon generals, their combat power is probably higher than theirs.
But in today's Daqian, the only family that can train such elite troops is the Qin family of Annan.
For so many years.
This was the first time that the Annan Army competed against armies from other places.
The gap is so huge that it is hard to look at.
Could the emperor ignore such a disparity?
Li Hong still had a smile on his face, and he looked no different from usual, even the texture produced by squeezing was no different, but the warmth was gone, and it sent a chill down one's spine.
Qin Mingri was kneeling, trembling.
Ever since he reached the sixth level of cultivation, he rarely felt what "cold" meant.
But today, he felt the cold of winter for the first time.
He didn't understand. Before he left, his father had clearly told him that he only needed to demonstrate the strength of the Annan warriors. This would be good for both Daqian and the Qin family, and nothing would go wrong.
But why are the results different?
Is it just because the competition has moved from the arena to the secret realm?
He doesn't understand.
But there is no time to understand.
He just felt like he was going to die.
This was the first time he felt time was passing slowly.
I was clearly breathing rapidly, and only ten breaths had passed, but it felt like several hours.
Good thing...
Li Hong suddenly began to stroke his beard and laughed: "I am praising you. You are such a good man, why should you be ashamed to receive this? Hurry up and get up!"
"what?"
Qin Mingri raised his head and looked at Li Hong in surprise and suspicion. Seeing that he didn't seem to be sarcastic, he stood up nervously.
But unexpectedly, he just stood up.
Li Hong said loudly: "Come here, give me some medicinal wine!"
Qin Mingri: “!!!”
An Nanwei: "!!!"
Onlookers: "!!!"
soon.
The eunuch who was accompanying them stood in front of the Annan guards, holding a wine tray.
Qin Mingri looked at the wine glass filled with wine on the plate, his hands and feet were cold, and sweat was pouring down: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Li Hong smiled and said, "Drink it now!"
Qin Mingri: “…”
He felt his eyeballs swelling and his hearing seemed to have improved countless times. He could clearly hear his increasingly rapid breathing and heartbeat.
The arm seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.
But he still gritted his teeth and drank the medicinal wine in the cup.
Seeing him like this, the Annan guards no longer hesitated.
When the medicine was poured into their stomachs, they were all prepared to defend the dignity of Annanwei as if they were facing a great enemy, even if their internal organs were burning, they would not show any pain.
But I had to wait for a while.
But the pain did not come.
He only felt a warm current flowing into his limbs and bones. The pain from the wounds on his body suddenly dissipated. The meridians that were almost exhausted after the fierce battle became full, and there were even signs of a breakthrough.
What's going on?
Everyone looked at each other, at a loss for words.
At this time.
The leading eunuch handed another pot of wine to Qin Mingri.
Li Hong smiled and said, "Go back and bring this to the guys who haven't had the medicinal wine yet. You are all very good."
Qin Mingri suddenly felt the pressure disappear. He knelt on one knee with a plop and clasped his hands together: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the wine!"
Saw this scene.
Everyone else present understood that this medicinal wine might be some kind of miracle medicine for healing.
The emperor did not want to kill them...
nonsense!
Of course not to death.
Even if the emperor was really afraid, he would not do this in public.
Therefore, even if they were given wine as a gift, it did not mean that the emperor had no suspicion of them.
If we were really as close as a family, why would we do this?
It's knocking.
Or a warning?
Everyone was undecided.
Li Hong seemed to have caught a cold. He coughed a few times and subconsciously wrapped himself in his cotton robe. Then he said, "I have recruited countless talents in this imperial examination, but I have also discovered some problems of the dynasty. In April next year, the Daqian military exercise will be held. All armies must send their best troops to participate. Tomorrow, after you go back, write a letter to your sister and ask her to come as a new talent from Annan."
"Yes!"
Qin Mingri nodded quickly.
Li Hong smiled and waved his hand: "You all go and have a good rest. When the chief examiner calculates the rankings tomorrow, I will hold a banquet to welcome you new graduates!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Everyone present bowed and respectfully sent the emperor back to the palace.
"call!"
Qin Mingri breathed a sigh of relief, only then he realized that his clothes were soaked with sweat.
He glanced in the direction where Li Hong had left with lingering fear, and still hasn't escaped from that fear.
"Boss! The Major General asked us to go home quickly."
Suddenly an Annanwei said.
Qin Mingri then looked into the distance and saw Qin Muye waving at them in the carriage. It seemed that he was chatting with Annanwei, who had been eliminated long ago.
He then swallowed his saliva: "Go home!"
On the weapon casting platform, students of the new science department jumped down one after another, but their moods were completely different.
Some had a great time, and the afterglow is still there.
Some passed the exam but lost all face.
Some got the totem source energy, but it seemed like they lost one million taels of silver.
In the spectator seats, everyone was frowning and thinking, pondering over this imperial examination and what the emperor's attitude towards the Qin family just now meant.
……
On the carriage.
Qin Muye wrapped himself in a big cotton-padded coat, rested his head on his wife's thighs, and hummed a tune in comfort.
Bai Yuji looked at him thoughtfully: "The emperor is beating up your Qin family so hard, aren't you worried?"
"First!"
Qin Muye sat up and looked at her seriously: "I want to correct you. Don't use 'you'. We are the Qin family!"
Bai Yuji didn't know why he was so obsessed with this, but he didn't respond: "What about the second one?"
Qin Muye curled his lips: "The emperor is scolding Qin Mingri, what does it have to do with me, Qin Muye? I am a loyal minister!"
Bai Yuji: "..."
It seems that Qin Muye did not lie to me before.
The emperor promoted the two brothers Qin Muye and Qin Mingri while giving one a warning. It seemed that he was really going to take action against the Qin family.
But no one can tell to what extent.
The emperor's attitude will affect the situation in the entire southwest.
tonight.
I'm afraid those envoys from the southwest will have trouble sleeping.
On the other hand, Qin Muye...
Seeing Qin Muye resting his head on her thighs again, humming a tune heartlessly, she couldn't help but reveal a gentle smile.
Qin Muye was humming a song.
In fact, I was also worried.
To be honest, he couldn't figure out whether Li Hong's performance today was for Qin Mingri or for outsiders other than Qin Mingri.
He could not understand this emperor at all, even though he had read his horoscope.
The general framework of the plan to stir up trouble in the imperial examinations of all races was formulated by Li Hong. Although there were many elements of his own free play, it did not deviate from Li Hong's framework at all.
He even felt that whether it was the appearance of Li Xingluo or the performance of Annanwei, it was all part of Li Hong's plan.
But after it was over, he changed Qin Mingri's mentality in public.
Qin Muye could guess the reactions of the nobles, evil officials, the prince, and envoys from various countries after today.
But he totally couldn't understand what the emperor's attitude towards the Qin family was, and what Qin Kaijiang's attitude towards the emperor was.
A bit confusing.
never mind!
If it's confusing, then don't bother with it.
Anyway, it has little to do with me in the short term.
He rubbed Bai Yuji's belly: "Baby..."
"You, what did you call me?"
“Baby…”
Qin Muye didn't care whether she accepted this title or not, and started the next topic: "You said that I have four strands of totem source energy on me now, you won't steal it from me, right?"
Bai Yuji snorted: "Why would I rob you? Do you really think I'm a robber?"
Qin Muye laughed and said, "Aren't you the robber? Otherwise, why would my heart be with you?"
Bai Yuji: "..."
After getting married, Qin Muye would always say something disgusting out of the blue.
The rustic ones are not good.
After hearing this, I will tap my toes.
But she quite liked listening to it.
She said with a pah sound: "You should keep it well. There is also a strand each from Princess Di and Miss Wu Lu in it. Don't let others lose it."
Qin Muye nodded: "Hey!"
Bai Yuji chuckled and said, "Miss Wu Lu trusts you. She is willing to put such a valuable thing on you."
Qin Muye raised his head proudly: "Your husband may not believe in other things, but his character is still guaranteed. In the thousands of streets of Kyoto, everyone knows that the young general of the Qin family is very tough in character and in other things."
"well?"
"That's it..."
"Pooh!"
……
When we returned to Zhennan Mansion, the kitchen was already smoking from the cooking of various chefs.
The imperial examination was only halfway through, but Qin Yanying spent a large sum of money to hire famous chefs from several restaurants and had been preparing.
When the maid who was stationed at the Casting Platform reported that the imperial examination was about to end, she immediately called the cooks to start preparing.
When the Annan guards heard that there was something delicious to eat, they were all so excited that they were steaming with excitement. During the few days in the secret realm, they could only eat dry food every day, and the dry food in the winter was cold and hard.
Now, let alone the specialties of famous chefs, even the soft rice soup steamed buns are enough to excite them.
Qin Yanying took the opportunity to ask about the well-being of her eldest nephew and his wife.
Glanced sideways.
Noticing that Qin Mingri looked absent-minded, he couldn't help but frown and waved for him to come over.
Qin Mingri sat down obediently: "Aunt, what's the matter?"
"On such a happy day, why are you frowning?"
"I...Aunt, I feel like something big is going to happen."
Qin Mingri couldn't bear it any longer and quickly told him what had just happened and his worries.
Qin Yanying smiled profoundly and patted Qin Muye's arm: "What did my aunt say? People who often stay in the frontiers, when they suddenly come to Kyoto, they just can't have a big picture and can't understand the hidden meaning of the big people."
Qin Muye nodded in agreement: "That's right!"
Qin Yanying raised an eyebrow at Qin Mingri: "See! Your brother understands everything. Now you understand why your brother is the prince, right?"
Qin Mingri: “…”
He suddenly felt a little ashamed of himself.
After being in Kyoto for such a long time, he realized for the first time that he also had a sense of inferiority coming from his small hometown.
He took a deep breath and humbly asked, "Brother! What does His Majesty mean by this?"
Qin Muye smiled mysteriously: "Let aunt tell me, aunt must see deeper than me!"
Qin Yanying was very happy for her nephew's understanding: "I'll let you tell me, aunt!"
Qin Mingri said solemnly: "Nephew is all ears!"
Qin Yanying took a deep breath.
Qin Mingri's expression became more dignified.
Under his gaze.
Qin Yanying laughed and patted his shoulder: "Can't you see that? His Majesty is just teasing you!"
"what?"
Qin Mingri was stunned: "Is that so?"
Qin Yanying asked back, "Why not? He just saw that you are so cautious in everything you do, unlike your aunt and Muye who are so free and easy, so he reminded you to joke around more, so that you can be like a family member. His Majesty treats you like his son or nephew, so you say you are being polite to your mother?"
Qin Mingri: “…”
Bai Yuji: "..."
Qin Muye: “…”
really.
Fortunately, I didn't respond.
Otherwise, if his train of thought did not match Qin Yanying's, she would definitely criticize him for not understanding the ways of the Beijing people.
Qin Muye was used to it.
But Qin Mingri could not hold it in any longer and was confused for a long time before he came to his senses.
He rubbed his swollen and aching head and said repeatedly: "I learned it! Nephew, I learned it! Thank you aunt for your teaching!"
Qin Yanying smiled and patted his back: "It's okay, it's okay. You can learn a lot from your aunt in the future!"
Qin Mingri: “…”
It happened that at this time, Qin Muye was going to the toilet.
"Brother, I'll come too."
Qin Mingri quickly followed, holding his stomach.
Qin Muye looked at him suspiciously: "You also caught a cold and have diarrhea? You're already a fourth-grade rank, this shouldn't happen!"
"Ah I……"
Qin Mingri said with a stiff upper lip: "I just want to say a few words to my brother."
Qin Muye waved his hand: "Then you wait outside the toilet."
Qin Mingri: “…”
He tucked his things into his sleeves.
Listen to the sounds in the toilet and smell the smell of the toilet.
I waited in the cold wind for a full quarter of an hour.
Qin Muye just came out and glanced at him calmly: "If you have anything to say, just say it directly. There is no need to do this."
Qin Mingri opened his mouth and said, "Brother, brother! It seems that you have gained a lot of totem energy this time."
when saying this.
He himself felt a little guilty.
His original plan was to obtain at least two strands of Totem Source Qi this time, and then use one to exchange for the secret of Qin Muye refining Totem Source Qi. At the very least, he would take one to see if he could trick the secret out of him.
The situation turned out to be so embarrassing.
In the secret realm, apart from completing the main task of enhancing the military power in the southwest, all other work was in vain.
Once forced to become Qin Muye's shield.
The demon clan consumed several rounds of genius, allowing Wu Lu to reap the benefits.
Now he doesn't even have a trace of totem energy in his hand, and he feels very thick-skinned to be able to ask this question.
But there was no way, he wanted to improve so much.
"Yeah! I have a lot, what's wrong?"
Qin Muye looked at him in confusion: "You want it?"
Qin Mingri nodded quickly: "Ah..."
Qin Muye asked again: "Can you refine it?"
"no……"
"Did your father ask for it?"
"It's not..."
Qin Ming felt more and more guilty as he spoke.
Fortunately, Qin Muye was patient enough: "Do you need a high-grade mount?"
If Qin Mingri said no again, it would seem like he was being unreasonable, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "You can have this!"
Qin Muye: “No!”
Qin Mingri: “…”
Qin Muye looked puzzled: "Auntie hasn't even had the Lingxi Dragon Colt yet, and you're already greedy for it? And your sister-in-law wants to use it to treat my illness. In your heart, the mount is more precious than your brother?"
Done.
Turn around and leave.
Qin Mingri was a little anxious, and hurriedly followed him: "Brother! Our brothers in Annanwei have paid a lot for you. If you can't get anything, I'm afraid it will be disappointing for our brothers!"
Qin Muye sneered in his heart, if I let you eat all by yourself, won’t it make your brothers feel bad?
He strode into the main hall and asked loudly, "Brothers! Are the puppets produced by the Emperor's Mansion powerful?"
"fierce!"
The Annan guards yelled at the top of their lungs. To be honest, they were really blown away by his handsomeness.
Qin Muye asked again: "Do you want it?"
The Annan guards looked at each other, all too embarrassed to shout out loud.
Qin Yanying scolded: "Why are you being polite to the young general?"
The Annan guards thought about it and said in a hoarse voice: "I want it!"
A puppet with combat power of the fifth rank and extremely high spirituality.
Put on the ring, the individual ability is stronger than mine.
It would be weird if they didn't want it.
Qin Muye clapped his hands: "It just so happens that I am sending them to the Emperor's Mansion for repair, and by the way, I will add some money to clean the spirit core so that they can recognize their master again. Each person will have a heavy armor puppet and a puppet dog. Although they are second-hand, please don't despise them!"
The Annan guards laughed so hard that their mouths were crooked.
"I don't mind, I don't mind!"
"The Major General is so generous!"
"We like the ones used by the Major General!"
what?
No?
This habit of yours is not right!
Qin Muye subconsciously blocked Bai Yuji behind him, then looked at Qin Mingri: "Mingri! You are my brother, you should take two sets, so that you won't be disappointed."
Qin Mingri: “…”
……
After dinner.
Qin Muye held Bai Yuji's hand and returned to the house happily.
well.
Dozens of surveillance cameras were installed in Annan.
Bai Yuji pinched the soft flesh on Qin Muye's waist. "Just now they said that they like the ones used by the young general. Why did you stop me? You knew that they didn't mean that. Why are you so dirty?"
"I am too pure in love. I cannot listen to any ambiguous words. Even if other men look at you for a second, I feel like I am losing out."
"Pooh……"
"I'm so tired, let's take a rest!"
"I haven't showered yet!"
"Then kiss first and then take a bath!"
"Hmm...well~"
The panting became heavier.
Bai Yuji was a little breathless: "You, didn't you say you wanted to take a shower first? Why are you..."
Qin Muye's heart was beating like a drum, and the blood flow rate in his brain seemed to have reached its peak. He was also thinking about taking a shower and then having a good rest.
But now...
wrong!
This restlessness deep in the blood is... the totem source energy?
Seven days were up and the seal on the jade bottle was opened!
He could hardly control his thoughts... and hands.
Just when he was about to tear open Bai Yuji's clothes.
Suddenly, two light coughs were heard coming from the beam.
Then, a figure fell.
It was Li Xingluo wearing a black heron vest: "That..."
Bai Yuji was startled: "Miss Wu Lu, why are you here?"
Li Xingluo tried hard not to look at the two of them: "The princess sent me to get the totem source qi, but unfortunately you are here... maybe I came at the wrong time."
Bai Yuji: "..."
The words "No, you came at the right time" were stuck in my throat and I almost didn't say it.
Qin Muye quickly took out two jade bottles from his arms. The wave-isolating array patterns on them were indeed dissipating: "Here you go!"
Li Xingluo hurriedly took the jade bottle, unable to conceal the desire in his eyes any longer.
He said goodbye quickly, then retracted his magic spell and turned into a wisp of green smoke and flew out of the window.
Qin Muye: “…”
What's going on?
How come she is more anxious than the senior high school students who rush to the Internet cafe to grab computers after school?
Could it be that...she wants to swallow the totem source energy immediately like me?
No!
Li Xingluo, what is our relationship?
Why do you also react to the totem source energy?
Qin Muye clutched the jade bottle and tried to keep his voice calm: "Madam, you... go take a shower first?"
