The arrival of Tuoba and Qiuyu further strengthened Su Qin's strength in the northwest.

The three lines of defense have begun to operate now, but it will take time to truly become the defense line guarding the northwest. It is still in its infancy now, but Su Qin believes that it will take not long to take shape.

Although the northwest is located in a corner, it is relatively lacking in both economy and resources compared to other places. However, it is precisely because of this that Su Qin has given a chance. Once Su Qin manages the northwest well, he will have a basic foundation to fight against other side-segments in the future.

Tuoba and Qiuyu have actually learned about the northwest region in detail. In addition to the relatively powerful force of the tomb guardians in Qinzhou, the ancestral tombs of Su Qin's ancestral temple are here. Qinzhou's economy is also the strongest in the five northwest prefectures, and Chang'an is also the fifth largest city in the Federation.

The other four prefectures are relatively weak, followed by Longzhou, Ningzhou is almost the same as Qingzhou. Except for some people in the prefecture, other cities can almost be ignored.

Finally, there is Xinzhou, which is almost a blank area for the Su family tomb guards. After all, Xinzhou is vast and sparsely populated, and the ethnic composition is relatively complicated. I have experienced many things over the years. Not to mention that the Su family tomb guards dare not interfere here, other forces dare not interfere.

Then, Tuoba and Qiuyu will follow Su Qin's plan to first stabilize the power of the tomb guardians in Qinzhou, then further develop the power of Longzhou, Qingzhou, Ningzhou, and finally intervene in Xinzhou.

After talking about these things, Su Qin was relatively satisfied with Tuoba and Qiuyu. He said in a deep voice: "I will leave it to you in the northwest from now on. I hope you won't let me down."

"Don't worry, young master, we will do our best to live up to our trust." Tuoba said loudly.

Qiuyu also had a look of torch. Even though she knew she would encounter a lot of resistance, she was still full of confidence in the future.

Su Qin stood up and arranged, "Brother Chen, take Tuoba and Qiuyu to the training building to see if there is any place that needs to be renovated, and then find someone to renovate according to their requirements."

After confirming that Qinling Manor is the temporary base camp for Tuoba and Qiuyu, Su Qin had someone renovated the training building again, that is, some offices were transformed upstairs, and other supporting facilities were relatively complete.

After Su Qin came out of the lounge, he went to find Lin Xi. Aunt Zhou had already taken Lin Xi to visit. If you really want to visit this huge manor carefully, it would probably take an hour.

After seeing Lin Xi, Su Qin asked, "How is it, do you like it?"

This manor is similar to the Lin family’s old house, but the style is different, and Lin Xi has been shocked.

She thoughtfully said, "Will it be too big? There are no people in such a large manor on weekdays? Isn't it too wasteful?"

"Nothing wasted, there will be other people living here for the time being, but they live in the training building next door, and we only come here occasionally on the main building. If you are bored on weekends, you can bring your roommates or classmates to play." Su Qin said with a smile.

Lin Xi smiled and said, "We probably can't come a few times a year."

"We will live here temporarily. When we graduate from university and leave Chang'an, there will be other uses here." Su Qin explained casually.

"Oh, that's good." Lin Xi said lightly.

In the evening, Su Qin and Lin Xi lived here. Tuoba and Qiuyu came. Su Qin and Lin Xi invited them to dinner at the manor. Lin Xi had already seen Tuoba and Qiuyu and were not so unfamiliar.

But I didn't talk much during the meal and didn't drink much so it ended soon.

The next night, at a barbecue restaurant near Chang'an University, Su Qin took Xu Sitong, Chen Mingyuan and Li Yang for dinner. In addition, there were Xie An and Zhou Song. The holiday was about to be held tomorrow, so it was considered a dinner before the festival.

Xu Sitong accompanied his parents to travel abroad, while Li Yang was preparing to return to his hometown in Northeast China. Only Chen Mingyuan did not go back and was preparing to stay in the training base to practice well.

Su Qin felt that Chen Mingyuan was a bit off-the-scenes. Shouldn’t such a playboy with a not-so-simple family background eat, drink and have fun? Why did he choose this path?

However, since Chen Mingyuan made such a choice, Su Qin would not say much.

Xie An, who came in at the end, said with a hilarious feeling: "What day is today? Master Su invites us to have a meal and drink, it's rare."

"Young Master Su invites us to have a drink and have a meal. You bring you here. Do you look down on us Young Master Su?" Xu Sitong moved a seat to Xie An and joked that they are now friends and they quarrel when they meet.

Xie An said casually: "My friend sent two bottles of red wine. I haven't had time to drink recently, so I brought it here for you to taste it. It's enough for friends."

Li Yang echoed: "I'm the most friend."

Xu Sitong called the waiter and said, "I'm so hungry that I'm so hungry when ordering. Summer is about to pass. I'm going to see you again with beer and barbecue crayfish. I must have a good meal tonight."

Su Qin said at this time: "Wait a minute, there is still a friend who hasn't come."

"I have another friend, who?" Zhou Song asked curiously.

Su Qin did not explain, took a sip of water and said, "It will be here soon, you will know when you meet later."

What Su Qin said was so mysterious and everyone was looking forward to it, and they didn’t know which friend he was. After all, Su Qin said that he would not bring his girlfriend tonight, so there was no woman.

Everyone in the school is close to Su Qin. Su Qin rarely interacts with other classmates. At most, they just say hello when they meet.

As for other departments, I have no friends.

Just when everyone was confused, the last friend opened the door and made a debut.

When he saw this friend, Xu Sitong, Zhou Song, Chen Mingyuan and Li Yang widened his eyes, as if he was incredible. Perhaps he didn't expect him to come at all.

Xie An was not surprised by the comparison, after all, he had known the background of this friend for a long time.

Xu Sitong stood up and shouted: "Zhao Jingshi."

Zhou Song also pointed at Zhao Jingshi and shouted: "Zhao Jingshi, what are you doing? Are you trying to find fault?"

Zhao Jingshi ignored Xu Sitong and Zhou Song at all, with some impatient expressions on his face, and seemed to not take Xu Sitong and Zhou Song seriously. If Su Qin hadn't invited him to have a meal and drink, he might not have come at all.

The atmosphere was a bit tense, and others didn't know what was going on.

Su Qin stood up and said, "Don't be nervous, this is the last friend I told you, Zhao Jingshi, you are all familiar with him."

"Jingshi, come here, sit here." Su Qin waved his hand and asked Zhao Jingshi to sit here.

Zhao Jingshi came over obediently and smiled angrily after seeing Su Qin: "Brother Su Qin."

In the past, when Zhao Jingshi met Su Qin, he was extremely arrogant and provoked Su Qin several times in a row.

This time, when Zhao Jingshi saw Su Qin, he was so obedient and respectful, which made Xu Sitong, Zhou Song and others a little confused.

What's going on?

Could it be that something unknown happened to the two of them, and then they turned from opponents to friends, just like Zhou Song and Su Qin in the past?

Xu Sitong asked directly: "Old Su, don't you explain what's going on?"

Zhou Song also said, "Brother Su, tell me, what's going on? We are all in the dark. How do you drink this wine?"

Chen Mingyuan has come to his senses. No wonder Zhao Jingshi came to find Brother Su alone two days ago. It is estimated that their relationship was no longer the same as before. So what Brother Su said when he returned to the dormitory, wouldn’t this solve the mystery?

"Let's order the dishes first, and talk while eating later." Su Qin deliberately kept it in hiding.

Then everyone called the waiter to start ordering dishes. When the waiter started serving dishes and wine, Su Qin smiled and explained: "Actually it's nothing. Jingshi is my friend's younger brother. I didn't know about this relationship before. I just felt that the name was a bit familiar, because their family is from the Jing generation. Later, his brother and sister called me to take care of him at school, and then I knew about it."

Su Qin explained so simply that he would not really explain the causes and consequences of the matter clearly, which would make Zhao Jingshi somewhat disgraceful.

"So that's the case. I'll tell you why he ran downstairs to find you last time. Why don't you say it anymore? Let's still be hostile to him." Xu Sitong suddenly realized.

Zhou Song also said, "I really didn't expect that it was my own person. I guess he didn't even know, otherwise how could he provoke you continuously before? If you hadn't been stopping you all the time, we were really ready to compete with him."

Zhao Jingshi was a little unhappy when he heard this. Just as he was about to refute, he subconsciously saw Su Qin's eyes and immediately sat down obediently.

Su Qinfeng said lightly: "The things that happened before will be over. From now on, you will be friends. You can take care of each other in school."

"That's necessary. Now that they are all my own people, they will definitely not target him anymore. Your friend's younger brother is our younger brother." Xu Sitong said happily.

Su Qin glanced at Zhao Jingshi and said, "Jingshi, say hello to these seniors."

Although Zhao Jingshi was not happy, he still stood up and said, "Dear seniors, my name is Zhao Jingshi. I offended you in the past without being ignorant. I hope you will not remember the villain's faults and don't be as knowledgeable as me. I will punish myself for this glass of wine first."

After saying that, Zhao Jingshi poured himself a glass of beer and directly raised his head to drink.

After Zhao Jingshi finished drinking, Xu Sitong, Zhou Song and others smiled and said that they had nothing to do and that, and they had already regarded him as their own person.

Su Qin said at this time, "You are so polite. Everyone knows what you were like in school before. I may not have much time in school. From now on, I will let them stare at you. If you continue to be as domineering as before in school, if they find out, they will tell me, don't blame me for not warning you."

Only then did Zhao Jingshi understand why Su Qin wanted to take him out for dinner and drink today. It turned out that he wanted his friends to stare at him in school in the future. He was really a cunning person.

Zhao Jingshi smiled and said, "Brother Su Qin, I have already said that I will change it, so don't worry, it won't be like before."

Su Qin did not forget to remind others: "I am young and ignorant. When I first arrived at school, I was a little arrogant. His brother and sister asked me to take care of him. From now on, he dared to do the same thing as before in school. You will tell me."

"Old Su, don't worry, we will help you stare at it." Xu Sitong said first.

Zhou Song patted Zhao Jingshi's arm and said, "Jingshi, you have to be more obedient in the future. Brother Su will never be ruthless when he gets rid of people. If you ask them, I have suffered a lot in front of him."

Zhao Jingshi could only say helplessly: "What the seniors said is that I will accept it humbly."

Zhao Jingshi knew very well his current situation. It seems that he would not have thought about the past four years in college, unless he was not studying at Chang'an University, so he said, "I'll accept my fate."

"Let's have dinner, the barbecue is cold." Su Qin changed the topic.

Xie An picked up the wine glass and said, "Let's have a drink first, welcome Jingshi to join our small group."

Everyone talked and welcomed Jingshi to join, and a glass of cold beer was soon eaten.

After drinking this glass of wine, the atmosphere became much more harmonious. Everyone else looked for Jingshijijiu, which was considered to be taking care of this newcomer.

Zhao Jingshi had a good alcohol tolerance and quickly responded to everyone. His attitude gradually became less rigid and gradually integrated into everyone's atmosphere.

While drinking and chatting, Su Qin then introduced Xie An to Zhao Jingshi: "Jingshi, let me introduce you to Xie An. You can call him Brother Xie. Your brother and sister have a good relationship with his brother. You can have more contact with him in Chang'an in the future, and you two should be able to play together."

After hearing Su Qin say that his brother and sister have a good relationship with Xie An's brother, Zhao Jingshi subconsciously asked: "Xie family?"

Su Qin nodded and said, "Well, so I will introduce you to you."

When he heard that it was the Xie family, Zhao Jingshi was a little polite and greeted with a smile: "Brother Xie."

"You should have a good relationship with Liu Peng. He is introducing you to join the elite club in our Qinzhou University circle. If you are interested, you can come and have a look. They are all like-minded friends, so that you will not be bored in Chang'an in the past few years." Xie An took the initiative to invite.

Liu Peng and Zhao Jingshi were in the same high school before, and they were also familiar friends. He had previously stopped Liu Peng and said that the elite clubs in the Qinzhou university circle were all rich second-generation officials with different family backgrounds.

But Zhao Jingshi was not interested at that time. Now that I heard that Xie An is also a member of this elite club, I was even more interested in it instantly.

"I heard from Liu Peng that I can do it?" Zhao Jingshi said modestly.

Xie An laughed and said, "Liu Peng can join, why can't you? Besides, your Brother Su is now the president of our elite club. I am the vice president of the elite club. You just nod to join."
