"Zhuge Yunjin wants to see me?" Qin Ziling was slightly startled and said, "Could it be that Teacher Lai wants to see me for something?"
"Don't you know it when you go?" Xiao Qing said with a smile.
"Yes." Qin Ziling smiled slightly, then waved to the sky, and soon a huge blood goshawk flew from a distance and hovered in the sky.
"Zhuge Yunjin can be regarded as the judge of Xiyun Province. Why don't you come with me?" Qin Ziling said.
"That's fine, I'm planning to accompany you today anyway." Xiao Qing nodded, then flew up with Qin Ziling and landed on the back of the Blood Goshawk.
The Blood Goshawk spread its wings and flew down to the Sheriff's Mansion in a blink of an eye.
"Lord Zhuge has come a long way, and I am unable to welcome him from afar!" Xiao Qing said as she walked into the living room and cupped her hands.
"Master Xiao's words are serious!" Zhuge Yunjin quickly stood up and returned the greeting, not daring to show any slight.
At this moment, in the eyes of Zhuge Yunjin, Xiao Qing is not only a master-level figure, but her husband is also a registered disciple of Lai Yinuan, a master in Qi refining, and a person like Xiyunzhou.
He is definitely a big shot with a distinguished and distinguished status.
Even though Zhuge Yunjin was a judge, he was not very polite.
"I've met Master Zhuge. I wonder why Master Zhuge wants to see me today?" Qin Ziling waited for the two of them to greet each other politely, and then said to Zhuge Yunjin.
"There are two things." Zhuge Yunjin straightened his face and said.
"Please speak." Qin Ziling said.
"One thing is that Elder Lai asked the supervisor to tell fellow Taoist Qin not to interfere in the affairs of the Qin family and the prince in Wuzhou." Zhuge Yunjin said.
"How do you say this? Could it be that the prince wants to deal with the Qin family?" Qin Ziling's face sank slightly when he heard this and asked.
"I don't know about this, but since it is said above, it is probably true, so it is best for Fellow Daoist Qin not to interfere in this matter. After all, the prince is powerful, and this is a worldly power struggle. If Fellow Daoist Qin must intervene,
, even Elder Lai is inconvenient to come forward." Zhuge Yunjin said.
"What about the other thing?" Qin Ziling did not express his position, but turned to ask about another thing.
"Another thing is that the Southwest Governor, Earl Qingyuan, wants to recruit you to join the army to help defeat the Wang Lang rebels and the Corpse Demon Sect. Because you are a Qi Refining Master, he wants to recruit you, so he must inform me first." Zhuge Yunjin
replied.
"Earl Qingyuan belongs to the prince, right?" Qin Ziling said with a cold smile.
When Zhuge Yunjin heard this, he was slightly startled at first, then his expression changed, and he forced out a smile and said, "Fellow Daoist Qin, don't overthink it."
"Master Zhuge should know that I have always kept a low profile. Not many people in Xiyun Prefecture know that I am a master of Qi Refining. He, Count Qingyuan, was originally far away in the capital, and only in the past few months was he transferred to the four southwest states to supervise them.
The soldiers and horses knew my name so quickly, and even called me by name to draft me into the army! Don't you think I should think more about it?" Qin Ziling sneered.
Zhuge Yunjin's expression became more and more unnatural when he heard this. After a while, he said: "After all, Count Qingyuan is the Grand Governor. He oversees people from all walks of life in the four southwest states and has many eyes and ears. It is easy to find out who the Qi Refining Masters are in the four southwest states.
.”
"Do you think Master Zhuge wants me to accept this recruitment?" Qin Ziling glanced at Zhuge Yunjin and said calmly.
"Putting down the rebellion in Nanding Prefecture and exterminating the Corpse Demon Sect is a major event for the imperial court. As a citizen of Da Qi, it is no other responsibility to help the imperial court suppress the rebellion and destroy the Demonic Sect. Of course, refining qi is aloof from the secular world, especially refining qi
Grandmaster, even if Earl Qingyuan is the Grand Governor, he cannot directly forcibly recruit him.
However, regarding this matter, there has been word from Jian Zheng that if Earl Qingyuan requests for the transfer of troops, the magistrates’ offices in the four southwest states should try their best to cooperate. Earl Qingyuan is not just from our Xiyun Prefecture this time.
Qi refining masters have been recruited from the other three states. So if fellow Taoist Qin just has doubts in his heart, I'm afraid I won't be able to refuse." Zhuge Yunjin replied.
"In this case, I won't let Master Zhuge make things difficult. Let's do this. Can you please Master Zhuge to help me reply to the count? My cultivation is at a critical moment these days. I will report to the Governor's Mansion in a few days." Qin Ziling thought for a while and said.
"You're welcome, fellow Daoist Qin, I will order someone to reply to Earl Qingyuan when I get back," Zhuge Yunjin said.
After saying that, Zhuge Yunjin stood up and left.
"What are you going to do with Earl Qingyuan?" Xiao Qing asked after Zhuge Yunjin left.
"Earl Qingyuan's matter is not urgent, but the matter of the Qin family of Wuzhou is the top priority. The Qin family of Wuzhou treats me well, and besides, I am also a descendant of the Qin family.
If the prince really wants to deal with the Wuzhou Qin family, I definitely can't sit idly by. But once I intervene, this matter will probably become a big deal! Not only does the prince have many forces and experts under his account, but as the future king, the prince, to a certain extent,
In other words, to be an enemy of him is to be an enemy of the Qi court.
With my current strength, I am not afraid of the Imperial Court of Da Qi. What I am worried about is the Tianyan Sect behind the imperial court of Da Qi. All the royal families of Da Qi in the past were founded by the Tianyan Sect. This shows that Jiang Guangquan can ascend to the position of Crown Prince.
, it must be someone from Tianyan Sect who nodded in support.
The person behind the prince who can decide the future king of a country is definitely powerful and powerful in the Tianyan Sect. Once I intervene in the affairs of the prince and the Qin family in Wuzhou, I will not compromise. I will definitely suppress the prince vigorously. Such a request
What we are facing is not only the imperial court, but also the masters of Tianyan Sect behind the prince."
Qin Ziling frowned slightly, touched his chin, and paced back and forth in the hall.
"Is there a powerful Jindan in Tianyan Sect?" Xiao Qing asked.
"I am certain that the supervisor is the Great Mystic Master, so there is a good chance that the Tianyan Sect has a strong Jindan master. Otherwise, with my current strength, I don't need to be afraid of the Tianyan Sect master behind the prince." Qin Ziling replied.
As soon as Qin Ziling finished speaking, someone from the Qin Mansion in Anhe Village sent a message saying that Qin Xingpeng, the elder of the Qin family in Wuzhou, was visiting.
Qin Xingpeng was Qin Zitang's nephew. When he heard that he was visiting, Qin Ziling thought about it and ordered someone to invite him to the governor's house.
There are some things that he doesn't want his mother to know so as not to worry her.
Soon, Qin Xingpeng arrived at the governor's mansion.
When we met again, Qin Xingpeng was more calm and less arrogant than last time.
As soon as he saw Qin Ziling, he quickly raised his hands and said, "Xingpeng has met my uncle!"
"This is your aunt, Xiao Qing, the governor of Fangshan County." Qin Ziling pointed at Xiao Qing and said.
"Xingpeng has met my aunt!" Qin Xingpeng quickly said with his hands in hand again.
Seeing that Qin Xingpeng, who was similar in age to her, respectfully called her aunt, she remembered that he was the nephew of Qin Zitang, who was very close to her, so Xiao Qing loved him very much. Hearing this, he nodded with a smile, and then took out the storage ring. A "Run Zang Red Blood Pill" was handed to Qin Xingpeng and said: "This is the first time we meet, and I can't think of any suitable meeting gift. You can just take this 'Run Zang Red Blood Pill'."
Qin Xingpeng's heart trembled when he looked at the "Run Zang Red Blood Pill" handed over by Xiao Qing.
This "Run Zang Red Blood Pill" is much more precious than the "Wuzang Guiyuan Pill" that Qin Ziling gave him as a meeting gift last time. One pill is worth four or five.
Last time, Qin Ziling casually gave Qin Xingpeng two "Five Treasures Guiyuan Pills". Qin Xingpeng felt that Qin Ziling was really generous and even more generous than the patriarch.
Unexpectedly, my aunt was even more generous, and she just picked up a "Run Zang Red Blood Pill"!
How did Qin Xingpeng know that the aunt in front of him was now a martial arts saint, while at that time his uncle Zi Ling had not yet completely refined an organ and seemed to be just a quasi-grandmaster.
How could Qin Ziling at that time compare with Xiao Qing now?
"Since your aunt gave it to you, just take it." Seeing Qin Xingpeng's stunned look, Qin Ziling said calmly, seemingly unaware that he was younger than Qin Xingpeng in terms of age.
"Thank you, auntie." Seeing Qin Ziling say this, Qin Xingpeng accepted the "Runzang Red Blood Pill".
"Is the prince going to deal with the Qin family?" Qin Ziling asked after Qin Xingpeng accepted the elixir.
"How did my uncle know? Did you also hear the news in Xiyunzhou?" Qin Xingpeng said with a surprised look on his face.
"I just got some information and guessed it." Qin Ziling replied truthfully.
Qin Xingpeng's face gradually became serious after hearing this, and said: "Recently, the forces belonging to the prince in Wuzhou have been mobilized intensively. I think the prince will take action against the Qin family in the near future. My aunt asked me to inform my uncle that you I have always kept a low profile and never showed any sharpness, and I am far away in Fangshan County. I guess the prince didn't know that there was someone like you in the Qin family when I came here.
So she asked me to tell you not to interfere in the affairs of the Qin family and the prince, and continue to keep a low profile and save seeds for the Qin family. Besides you, the Qin family has also been preparing for a rainy day and scattered some years. Let the young disciples hibernate. However, those people are not very advanced, and some are even just children, so after this storm is over, my uncle has the responsibility to take care of them, and the burden on his shoulders is also very heavy."
"It seems that the Qin family has no chance of winning!" Qin Ziling said solemnly.
"The prince is now at the height of his power and his power is huge, but the Qin family has been on the decline. How can there be any chance of winning! It's just a desperate battle based on the ancestral land." Qin Xingpeng said with a trace of sadness and anger on his face.
"In that case, why did the prince wait until now to take action against the Qin family?" Qin Ziling asked.
In fact, he had known for a long time that the Qin family and the prince were at loggerheads, but the prince never dared to attack the Qin family openly. Qin Ziling naturally thought that it was because of the constraints of various forces and did not pay too much attention to it.
Now it seems that something must have changed somewhere.
"The prince has long wanted to take action against the Qin family. However, Aunt Tian is a true disciple of the Tianyan Sect and is a person who is expected to break through and become a Xuan Master. One day, Aunt Tian did not trigger the thunder to temper the body. When the dust settled, the prince did not dare
Take action. Two months ago, Tiangu's grandmother failed to temper thunder, so the prince no longer had any scruples.
They have been mobilizing people and horses in the past few days, and ordered many people to take turns to go to the government to sue the Qin family. Recently, the Qin family was framed for colluding with the Demon Sect to harm living beings, and the mobilization of people and horses has become more frequent and intensive, so we estimate that the prince has a strong influence on the Qin family.
The day of action is approaching, so my aunt sent me to inform you." Qin Xingpeng replied.
