Chapter 129 Li Xingluo's Minotaur Strategy

As long as you can reach the peak of the fourth level.

Is it almost certain that he will become a grandmaster?
Qin Muye felt refreshed just by listening to these two sentences.

He was a little curious: "Aunt, such a big thing, why haven't I heard of it before?"

Qin Yanying curled her lips: "Why do you listen? Who would have thought you could reach the fourth rank?"

Qin Muye sighed softly: "So from the beginning, my family planned to confiscate my position as the crown prince?"

"That's not the case. Your reputation in the Qin family and Annan is still too good."

Qin Yanying shook her head: "But the clan will definitely find a way to take the Grandmaster's inheritance away from you. However, things have become increasingly wrong since we came to Kyoto, and the You brothers and sisters are becoming increasingly restless.

But don't worry, nephew, your aunt is on your side.

Furthermore, your cultivation has now reached the fifth level, which is not far from the fourth level.

I don't believe anyone can take the throne from you."

"Aunt, you are so nice!"

Qin Muye was extremely moved, but he was also thinking in his heart.

To be honest, he was not that interested in the position of the Crown Prince and the position of the Patriarch of the Qin family, because at least up to now, the fate of all the members of the Qin family, including You Tianlie, was to be killed for rebellion.

He believed in Li Hong's tolerance and that at most he would use some political means to restrict the Qin family. Even if he really killed people, he would not affect the Qin family's base.

But Li Hong's tolerance does not mean that the new emperor will tolerate it.

If the new emperor is Li Xingluo, he still has some confidence in helping the Qin family change their fate.

Otherwise, any other prince would find it difficult to tolerate the existence of a behemoth like the Qin family.

Marquis of Zhennan, Protector General of Annan and Jiedushi, was in charge of the military and political power of the area.

Who can stand this?

But unfortunately, Li Xingluo seemed to have a knot in his body.

At least from Li Xingluo's reaction, he felt that Li Xingluo's self-positioning was doomed to failure, otherwise he would not be so self-destructive and control himself in that way.

and so.

If Li Xingluo ascends the throne, the position of the Qin family's eldest son can only be icing on the cake at best.

But Li Xingluo's inability to ascend the throne and become the eldest son of the Qin family was definitely adding insult to injury.

This thing.

It won't be of much use.

But the Grandmaster's inheritance...

Qin Muye smiled and asked, "Aunt, what exactly is this Grandmaster inheritance? Is it different from the Grandmaster you become through cultivation?"

Qin Yanying thought for a while and said: "The difference should not be that big. The martial arts that our Qin family practices are all about killing enemies on the battlefield. The way of the grandmaster is naturally the way of killing. As long as you are talented enough, mentally resolute, and willing to go to the battlefield, it is not particularly difficult to comprehend. It is just a matter of time.

However, big families always have to train young people to take the lead. Although our Qin family is not among the Five Surnames and Seven Families, it is also descended from important founding ministers, so we also developed a set of secret techniques for inheritance, but I have never seen what the secret techniques are.

Your father has never seen it either. He has already achieved Grandmaster status before he even had the chance to receive the inheritance."

Qin Muye: “…”

It’s time to say it or not.

This old Deng is pretty awesome.

As a cheating player, it would be very difficult for me to break through to the Grandmaster level.

Although Li Xingluo made his breakthrough at a younger age, he also had some cheating elements.

Being able to rely entirely on one's own practice, there's nothing else to say except that it's awesome.

Qin Yanying looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "Nephew, do you want to fight?"

"I want to! How to fight?"

"do not know……"

Qin Muye: “…”

Qin Yanying felt a little uncomfortable being looked at: "Don't ask me, I just heard Mingyu say that they might fight, but I don't know how to fight!"

Qin Muye hesitated for a moment and said, "Aunt, do you think you want to rely on military exercises?"

Qin Yanying pondered for a long time, and suddenly showed a very pleased expression: "See! I said that you can learn good things by following me. Now your thinking is very similar to mine."

"..."

"Wait a minute, let me think about it."

Qin Yanying paced back and forth like plowing the ground, and finally said, "Muye, do you want to participate in this military exercise?"

Qin Muye spread his hands: "I'm not from the military."

Qin Yanying chuckled: "You don't need to be a military man to participate. It's nothing more than a 300-man team. We also have quotas for the Imperial Guard. Although you don't have a military position, you can be a deputy coach, which is equivalent to an external military advisor.

Although this kind of external military advisor has neither subsidies nor honor, he can enter the battlefield with the army. "

Qin Muye grinned: "I don't understand the art of war?"

Qin Yanying waved his hand and said, "I'm not really asking you to be a military advisor. I heard from Wu Lu that your swordsmanship is invincible among your peers. You won't be afraid of a fourth-rank master in actual combat. Leave the leading of the troops to me, and you just need to fight in the battlefield. As long as you can prove your strength, no matter what your ranking is in the military exercise, I can shut up those old guys in the tribe."

"That's great, do you have anyone over there?"

"Of course I will. I'm the coach of a hundred people. If you spend a little more money, it won't be a problem to get another two hundred people."

"it is good!"

Qin Muye smiled and nodded. At critical moments, his aunt was still reliable.

Even though she has a terrible network of connections, her official position is just a minor coach who fools people and entertains them.

But if you say that she is not successful in the army, that is a bit hard to understand.

He quickly returned to the study, got a box of gold and silver for Qin Yanying, and watched her leave.

【Tip】:Grandmaster's Way is temporarily unavailable
Although my wife has made some preparations, it is still unclear whether we can find something like the totem altar, which is an ancient item.

The Qin family's mastership must be fought for.

Although the performances of most of the Qin family's masters were not amazing, at most they performed better on the battlefield, but they were not impressive in single combat.

But since such a heaven-defying existence as Qin Kaijiang can appear, it shows that the upper limit is still very high.

I just don't know if one person can master two ways of masters at the same time.

But no matter what.

Things that originally belong to you cannot be taken away by others easily.

Although I can look down on You Tianlie because of his personality.

But it cannot be denied that he is a veteran who has experienced many battles, and his subordinates are the elite among the elite.

It is not easy to stand up under his suppression.

You can't do it without putting in some effort.

Qin Muye shook his head. The military exercise was still more than a month away, so he didn’t want to think about it for now.

Let’s go find Li Xingluo first.

Although he already had puppets in the Princess's Mansion, given Li Xingluo's personality, if he didn't go there in person for such a big matter, there wouldn't even be room for discussion.

make up one's mind.

He walked quickly towards the gate of the mansion.

did not expect.

I happened to meet You Tianlie and Qin Mingri, uncle and nephew, who were walking in from outside.

You Tianlie held Qin Mingri's neck and laughed: "You saw it tomorrow, right? Everything is afraid of a comparison. In our usual internal military exercises in Annan, you can see that the level is about the same. Today, when we faced those imperial guards, can you see the difference?"

"I want the armies in other places to do the same. Anyway, I can't imagine how we will lose this military exercise!"

Qin Mingri also had a smile on his face, looking very pleased with himself.

Look.

These two people should have gone to the training ground and the camp.

"Eh? Brother, you're going to..."

"Makino!"

You Tianlie pulled Qin Mingri to the back and said, "It's so late, you still want to go out?"

Qin Muye asked back: "General You, do you need me to report to you?"

You Tianlie had experienced his bad temper, so he didn't want to embarrass himself by continuing to act like an elder.

He just smiled and said, "Of course not! But Muye, you are now the prince of Zhennan Prefecture after all, and your every word and action represents the Qin family. I heard that you went to the Yong Palace today and didn't even enter the door. In the future, it is better to refrain from provoking the heroes of Daqian, otherwise the entire Qin family will bear the losses."

Qin Muye frowned: "Why do you, a You, worry about the Qin family's affairs? What? Are you your sister's dowry?"

After saying this, he ignored them and got on the carriage.

You Tianlie: “???”

His facial muscles twitched again and again.

Even though he was prepared, he still underestimated how foul-mouthed this guy was.

Am I my sister's dowry?

Is this true?

"uncle?"

"Don't call me uncle, you are my uncle!"

You Tianlie was so disappointed: "Can't you stand up straight? When you see him, you call him brother affectionately!"

Qin Mingri smiled awkwardly: "My elder brother repays evil with kindness. I was so disgusted with him, but he still gave me a fourth-grade puppet. What should I do?"

You Tianlie: “???”

You were bribed by a fourth-grade puppet?
Look at how worthless you are!
Do you know how many fourth-grade puppets the position of Crown Prince is worth?
"By the way, uncle, I heard that the incident with the Grand Master has caused a big stir. My brother might feel uncomfortable during the morning court tomorrow. Should we help him?"

“Help, help, help!”

You Tianlie didn't say anything. That was the sound of knocking Qin Mingri on the head.

Still helping him?
If it weren't for the Qin family, I would be the first one to scold him.

Fortunately, Qin Muye was so naughty that he offended the Grand Master so much.

Otherwise, even if the military exercise is a crushing victory, it will probably take a lot of effort to replace the crown prince.

Let me see how you die tomorrow!
Li Rui didn't say anything.

But no one from the royal family said a word.

……

Princess's Mansion.

"Please inform Qin..."

"Sir! The princess said that you are her best friend, so you don't need to inform her when you come to her house. She is in her bedroom now."

"..."

Qin Muye rubbed his head and strode towards Li Xingluo's bedroom.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Who?"

"I am Qin Muye."

"Oh……"

Li Xingluo said with a smile: "Then wait for me."

then.

There was a rustling sound in the room.

It should be the sound of clothes.

Qin Muye: “…”

Not sisters?

I haven't even made any request yet, and you're already giving me a lingerie show?

If I put forward my request, won't you just do it for me?

Just thinking about it.

Li Xingluo's voice sounded again: "Come in!"

"Hey!"

Qin Muye pushed the door open with gritted teeth, ready to fire at any time.

However, after seeing Li Xingluo's image, he couldn't help but be stunned.

The clothes are neat.

It was a turquoise silk dress.

It's the kind that women from ordinary wealthy families often wear.

But Li Xingluo has a different kind of nobility, and some fairy...

Huh?
This is what a favored girl from heaven should be like!

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Li Xingluo looked at him with a smile on her face. She saw surprise in Qin Muye's eyes, which made her inexplicably happy.

Qin Muye smiled and replied, "I see that you look much better. I think your cultivation has stabilized completely. This is cause for celebration."

Li Xingluo couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Is it so hard to admit that I'm good-looking?

She didn't say anything, but just motioned Qin Muye to sit down, and then poured him a cup of tea: "What's the matter with you coming here so late?"

When she said this, she kept staring at the water glass and didn't look at him.

Because she could feel that he was always looking at her.

She didn't quite understand why she could attract him more by dressing conservatively than by dressing sensibly.

Is this what is called love?
How strange!
She shook her head and handed the tea over: "I'm asking you!"

"what!"

Qin Muye recovered and immediately explained his purpose: "I have a batch of very important things, and I would like you to ask His Majesty for them on my behalf."

"what?"

"... all the bodies of those beheaded evil officials." "Good!"

"what?"

Qin Muye was stunned for a moment: "Just agree to it?"

Li Xingluo smiled and asked back: "What else?"

Qin Muye was surprised: "No additional conditions are required?"

Li Xingluo smiled and said, "With the friendship between you and me, what additional conditions are needed? Besides, we are traveling together in Lingnan this time. I took credit for your efforts, and you helped me so much... Whatever you want, as long as I have it, I will definitely give it to you."

Qin Muye: “…”

Li Xingluo's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he smiled: "Besides this, what else do you want?"

Qin Muye: “…”

Date cake!

It feels like a myocardial infarction.

When this little girl is naughty, it's really annoying.

How did it become what I wanted?
He quickly shook his head: "Nothing else for now, thank you for your hard work, it's getting late, I'll take my leave first."

Say it.

He stood up and was about to leave.

"and many more!"

"Anything else?"

"looks good?"

"what?"

Qin Muye was stunned for a moment.

In the past, Li Xingluo was so crazy that he seemed like someone who came out of an H comic.

At this moment, Li Xingluo truly looks like someone who can only be found in top-notch realistic comics.

His Adam's apple moved: "It looks good."

Li Xingluo chuckled and said, "I'm talking about my clothes."

Qin Muye immediately came back to his senses: "I'm talking about your clothes, what else could it be?"

Li Xingluo was not angry either, she just looked at him with her beautiful eyes: "Then I will dress like this in front of you from now on, okay?"

Qin Muye: “!?”

Isn't this right?
How come the rank has improved so much in just a few hours?

A straight ball almost knocked me out.

The fact that Welfare Girl has drastically changed Crush is really a bit mysterious.

Li Xingluo held her cheeks and looked at him with a smile: "Is it not good?"

"It's not bad..."

"See you tomorrow then?"

"See you tomorrow!"

Watching Qin Muye leave in a panic.

A victorious smile finally appeared on Li Xingluo's lips.

Although she didn't want to admit it.

But the booklet Qin Muye had given her before did give her a sense of security that she had never had before.

After feeling safe, she relaxed a lot.

It's just that I still feel a little bit frustrated.

It’s the woman named Bai Yuji.

Sending your husband over seems generous, but in fact all the pressure is put on yourself.

No matter what happened to him or her, Qin Muye or not, he always felt inferior.

So she fights back.

Taking down Qin Muye's body is not called a counterattack.

Before Bai Yuji left, she had to make Qin Muye fall in love with her.

I really want to see her crying with sadness.

Once your thoughts are clear, many things can be learned without any guidance.

She suddenly discovered that her talent in this area... seemed to be not bad.

The only downside is that a lot of important things are crowded together now.

It's hard to spare the energy to spend time on this.

tomorrow……

Maybe you will have to face Da Zongzheng.

What a headache!
……

The next day.

early morning.

Ministers from all walks of life lined up in the hall early in the morning.

Because Li Hong was in poor health, being late for a quarter or two had become a routine.

Everyone was used to waiting and chatted in groups of three or four as usual.

But today's chat was particularly lively.

Because just yesterday, the imperial envoys from Lingnan returned to Kyoto.

There were suddenly more than two hundred new demon students in the Demon School.

The convoy also brought back dozens of demon corpses with strong bloodlines.

Besides.

And there is the body of Li Baobao.

In addition, the Jinyiwei spent the entire night investigating the noble families that might be related to the case of the house-guarding talisman, and arrested hundreds of people in one night.

It’s not to say that these hundreds of people are closely related to the house-guarding talisman case.

Instead, anyone who was suspected of knowing the truth but not reporting it was put in shackles without exception.

After the imperial envoys arrived in Beijing, the details of the case were revealed.

The Chief Secretary was killed in a bombing in Prince Yong's Palace.

Three masters surrounded and killed him.

Destroy the imperial flying boat.

Finally, the seven great demons and hundreds of powerful demon officials "respectfully sent off" the imperial envoys from Lingnan.

Although it has been embellished a lot.

But everyone can hear how dangerous this journey is.

Therefore, many people have opinions about Li Xingluo and Qin Muye, but no one dares to speak out.

First, they are very aggressive in handling cases.

Second, they have already stood on the moral high ground.

3. Many people also feel guilty.

On the contrary, the civil and military officials who came from humble backgrounds were chatting and laughing with them.

But in the era of aristocratic families, officials from humble backgrounds were ultimately a minority.

The atmosphere in the entire court was a little weird.

Many people stood far away, looking at the two with a hint of mockery.

Finally there came that moment.

The court fell silent.

Everyone looked at Li Hong who was walking over with the support of Eunuch Hong, and bowed to him.

"Long live my emperor!"

"Long live my emperor!"

"Long live my emperor!"

Due to physical reasons, Li Hong always feels extremely tired when he wakes up every morning, and only feels slightly relieved at noon.

He yawned and waved his hand with a tired look on his face: "No need to be polite, my dear ministers!"

Wait until everyone is calm.

He smiled and looked at Qin Muye: "My dear Qin, I thought your trip to Lingnan would take at least two months, but I didn't expect that in less than a month, you have already returned victorious!"

Qin Muye was not modest at all: "Your Majesty! If the flying boat had not been destroyed by the villains, I would have been able to return to the capital in seven days!"

Li Hong laughed and joked: "How much compensation do you plan to pay for destroying my flying boat?"

"Hahahahaha..."

A burst of laughter broke out in the court.

However, there were not enough people laughing, which seemed a little inappropriate, and the laughter soon died down.

The laughter died down too quickly.

A hint of displeasure flashed across Li Hong's face, and he gently tapped the armrest of the dragon throne.

Eunuch Hong understood and quickly took out a booklet and wrote down the names of those who had not smiled just now.

The ministers saw this.

They all shuddered.

Soon the whole hall was filled with a mixture of first and second laughter.

Li Hong's expression did not ease at all, and he asked Eunuch Hong to continue recording.

For a while.

The court was filled with an awkward atmosphere.

Those officials who had just laughed looked at Qin Muye with increasingly resentful eyes.

After a long time.

Li Hongcai glanced at the ministers whose faces were almost frozen with laughter, and then said calmly: "Imperial Envoy Qin Muye, Princess Li Xingluo, and Deputy Imperial Envoy Niu Pingtian have successively solved the Lingnan Qi family extermination case and the house-guarding talisman case.

Qin Muye was promoted to the position of Minister of the Honglu Temple, Niu Pingtian was promoted to the position of Secretary of the Honglu Temple, Li Xingluo was allowed to enter the national treasury to select treasures of heaven and earth worth 300,000 taels, and Feng Shuang, the Chief Clerk of Yongzhou, was posthumously conferred the title of Earl of Loyalty and Bravery, and a temple for virtuous and good people was established! "

As soon as these words came out.

There was an uproar.

No one had any objection to Niu Pingtian's promotion and Li Xingluo's reward.

But Qin Muye's promotion to the Minister of Honglu Temple is of great significance!
You know, before this morning court session, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites was still the prince's man.

Although he doesn't interfere much in specific affairs, the top leader is still the top leader.

Moreover, before this, the two Shaoqing on the left and right were at odds with each other.

As a result, Qin Muye became Zheng Wang's boss. The evil officials will probably have a hard time in the future.

Everyone looked at each other.

They all turned their eyes to the prince, hoping that he would say something, but Li Zhixuan just lowered his head and showed no intention of speaking.

Prime Minister Shen Kui also remained silent.

For a moment, many people became anxious.

But I dare not be the first to speak out.

But at this time.

A loud but sad voice was heard outside the hall.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being late for the morning court session!"

Hear this sound.

Many people were cheered up.

Li Hong's expression also became serious: "Brother is innocent, please come in quickly!"

In order to express his gratitude and respect to Li Rui, Li Hong addressed him as brother even in the court.

This is enough to show Li Rui's status in Daqian.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

next moment.

Li Rui, with white hair and beard, walked in with heavy steps.

I haven't seen you for just a few days, but you seem to have aged twenty years.

But everyone's eyes only stayed on his beard for a moment, and were soon attracted to the thing on his back.

Beat the dragon whip!
Among the Li clan members, only the eldest son can hold the imperial power.

Attack all civil and military officials below, and the true dragon emperor above.

It can only be used when the political situation is extremely chaotic and even the emperor cannot change it.

During the hundreds of years of Daqian's reign, the Dragon-beating Whip was only produced a few times.

Each of these was a time of crisis for Daqian.

Available today.

Li Rui actually brought a dragon-beating whip to the court.

Who is he going to hit?

For a moment, everyone was a little confused.

I feel like my guess is a bit off.

But after looking at Li Rui's aging face, they felt that their guess might be correct.

Some people were furious.

Some people are secretly happy.

But no one dared to show it.

You Tianlie glanced at Qin Muye's back and couldn't help but smile.
