This reward of the Qin family must be inherited by Qin Chuo. Once Qin Chuo takes the title, the head of the Qin family will undoubtedly be Qin Chuo.
Anyone who dares not to let Qin Chuo be the head of the family does not take the title awarded by the official seriously, despises the imperial power, and is punishable by beheading.
The great elder was suddenly startled, feeling that he was in trouble because of his concern, and that the authorities were confused.
I was thinking about the death of Qin Zhenghao and the eldest son Qin Huo in the battle. The Qin family suddenly lost its backbone, and the family business would soon be divided and swallowed up by the major forces in Baiyun City. I had to quickly find a way to raise the Qin family's backbone to fight against the major forces.
attack.
In a hurry, I was blinded by the benefits in front of me, just like a demon, I plunged into it and never came out again.
Short-sighted.
He couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, feeling that Zhou Jian was right.
"You really didn't kill him?" The great elder suddenly stared at Zhou Jianlai and asked again.
"You must have killed the person." Zhou Jianlai responded.
"Genggungun, I'm going to bed." The elder became angry when he disagreed with him. He flicked his sleeves and drove away Zhang Xiaopeng and the three others like flies.
The three of them, Zhang Xiaozu and Zhang Xiaozu, were not going to stay and ask for trouble, so Niu Dawa sacrificed himself to the Wind Realm and flew high into the sky, and then hid in the dark night and listened to Yuan Taiping and Qin Rulan talking about love.
The elder returned to the room and drank several cups of herbal tea in a depressed manner. While he was drinking, he suddenly slammed the tea cup on the table and yelled: "Fuck, you've been tricked by the little bastard!"
Only then did he realize that what Zhou Jianlai said seemed very reasonable, but everything was based on the premise that the officials would reward the Qin family with titles. If the officials did not grant titles to the Qin family, then what Zhou Jianlai said would be empty talk.
In addition, although the war in the southern border is calm, chaos is still happening in the east, west, north and south.
The official family is busy with many things, and they may not be able to find time to reward the Southern Territory for their merits. If it takes a year or two, the Qin family will have been chewed to the bone by the major families in Baiyun City.
He felt like a fool. Zhou Jianlai drew a big oil cake for him, and he started to gnaw it happily.
However, he did not chase out the door because he felt that there might be something wrong with his thinking and he needed to think about it seriously.
Qin Rulan was frightened by the four gifts Yuan Taiping gave her.
The fragrance is fragrant, and the ambergris fruit is bigger than her fist.
Of the hundred Yuanshi Golden Pills, she has only seen three in total in her entire life, and they were all sold at the auction house.
She had only seen the holy blood, which was as white as snow and as red as the sun, in ancient books. If it weren't for the obvious characteristics of the holy blood, she wouldn't have recognized it.
There is also a pink butterfly pendant with the effect of nourishing the soul, which is a legendary top treasure.
Qin Rulan was too frightened to accept it, and instead asked Yuan Taiping tentatively if he had robbed his family, or where did he get this huge wealth.
When asked, Yuan Taiping couldn't laugh or cry, and finally had to tell the truth that these treasures were given to him by Zhang Xiaozu, and he promised that they came from a legitimate source, so that she could accept them with peace of mind.
After hearing this, Qin Rulan was even more reluctant to accept it. She said that the thing was too valuable and urged Yuan Taiping to return it to Zhang Xiaozu as soon as possible. She also warned Yuan Taiping that even good sworn brothers should have a sense of discretion and not just ask for it, especially
It's such a precious treasure.
Finally, she solemnly told Yuan Taiping that she, Qin Rulan, was not a vain woman. As long as Yuan Taiping was thinking about her, she would be satisfied and there was no need to use these expensive things to make her happy.
Yuan Taiping told her to just accept it with peace of mind, as if she got it from a rich man.
But Qin Rulan just refused to accept it.
However, when she heard that Yuan Taiping had eaten an ambergris fruit from Zhang Xiaozu, a drop of holy blood from Zhang Xiaozu, and more than two thousand Yuanshi Golden Pills from Zhang Xiaozu before and after, she immediately put away the four items.
She got up. Yuan Taiping was confused and asked her why.
She replied: "If you have too many lice, you won't be itchy; if you have too many debts, you won't have to worry!"
Yuan Taiping nodded repeatedly, feeling that it made sense.
"Can you tell me about your experience in the past few months?"
"certainly."
Qin Rulan rested her elbows on the window sill, supported her chin with her hands, and listened with relish to Yuan Taiping's description of a world she had never been exposed to.
Yuan Taiping sat cross-legged on the ground in front of the window and talked about his experiences in the past few months. He naturally ignored the extremely dangerous experiences.
One speaks and the other listens.
Before the boys and girls had time to react, it was already dark.
"Fourth, it's almost done. If you don't run away, you will be caught by the guards of the Qin government later. I can guarantee that your legs will be broken and you will be paraded through the streets."
Niu Dawa's teasing sounds sounded in the air.
The two people outside the window were suddenly startled. They looked up conditionally and found Niu Dawa and three others hanging in mid-air, looking down at them with smiles.
Yuan Taiping's expression was startled, and soon black lines appeared on his head. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Don't tell me. You were hiding up there and eavesdropping all night."
"The wine is not bad." Zhou Jianlai waved the wine bottle in his hand towards him, then grinned and said: "Your story is also good, much better than the nonsense storyteller in the tavern."
After saying that, the three of them looked at each other and laughed without restraint.
boom!
Qin Rulan squeaked shyly and slammed the window, feeling that she couldn't see anyone anymore.
Yuan Taiping raised his middle finger fiercely at the three people in the air.
Then he bowed to the window and excused himself, saying: "Second Miss, Taiping is about to leave for the imperial capital. He will definitely ask His Majesty for marriage at the Jinluan Palace, and then come back to marry the lady in an honorable manner. Please take care of yourself and wait for my return."
"You can't get what you ask for, so don't force it. My heart is like a rock, and I look forward to your return. It's a long way to go, so please take care of it." Qin Rulan's shy voice came from the crack of the window.
"Thank you for your concern, Miss. Taiping, please excuse me." Yuan Taiping bowed again, then bent down on his knees, kicked off the ground and rose into the sky.
Niu Dawa controlled the domain of wind to catch Yuan Taiping, and the four people and one ape flew north.
After a long time, Qin Rulan finally calmed down her shy mood, then she packed the four treasures in her storage bag and walked out of the courtyard, heading straight to the elder's small courtyard.
When Qin Rulan placed the four treasures in front of the great elder one by one, the great elder's reaction was not as calm as when Qin Rulan saw these four treasures. Not only was he not calm, but he was even more excited than Qin Rulan because he understood these things better than Qin Rulan.
the value of.
"Elder, is the money from selling these treasures enough to alleviate the Qin family's plight?" Qin Rulan asked.
“More than enough.”
"But, you can't sell anything." The great elder shook his head and smiled.
"Why?" Qin Rulan was puzzled.
"Because these treasures are so precious that their value cannot be measured by gold and silver." The great elder said. He secretly swallowed, suppressed the greed in his heart, and said: "These are your personal belongings, hurry up
Put it away."
Qin Rulan did not follow the instructions, but looked into the elder's eyes and said: "Elder, I am willing to work hard for the future of the Qin family, but I cannot be the head of the family. The next head of the Qin family can only be the second brother."
"Is this your decision?" the great elder asked.
"Yeah" Qin Rulan nodded very firmly.
"Hey, in that case, I won't force you anymore. Go and call your mother and second brother." The elder sighed.
This was also a decision he had thought about all night. If Qin Rulan was unwilling to take over as the head of the family, he would support Qin Chuo as much as possible and obey fate in everything he did, just to have a clear conscience. "Okay." Qin Rulan suddenly smiled when he heard this.
"Wait a minute." The elder stopped Qin Rulan who was about to turn around and leave. He pointed at the ambergris fruit and holy blood on the table and said, "Take the ambergris fruit and holy blood. Treasures of this level cannot be taken."
People know it, so it's best not to keep it. If it gets spread accidentally, it will most likely bring disaster to the Qin family."
"Ah? It's a pity that I took such a treasure. Why don't you use it, Great Elder?" Qin Rulan felt that taking ambergris fruit and holy blood was a waste of resources.
The great elder glared at her hard and said, "Just take it if you are told to take it. Where is all this nonsense?!"
Qin Rulan was most afraid of the elder's glare, so she hurriedly nodded her head, drank the holy blood first, and then ate the ambergris fruit one bite at a time.
"Put the pendant and Yuanshi Golden Pill away as well," the great elder said.
Qin Rulan picked up the pink butterfly jade pendant and said: "Your soul is damaged, I will give you this jade pendant."
"No need." The great elder responded in a deep voice.
It's not that he doesn't want to, but he just can't bear the look of pink butterflies.
It is better to use your own jade pendant honestly. Although the effect is weaker than the pink butterfly jade pendant, it is still barely enough.
I just don’t know when it will lose its effectiveness.
The great elder couldn't help but frown.
Due to continuous heavy rains, the Muhe River swelled and the Shuangfu Bridge connecting the two sides of the Muhe River was submerged.
Zhao Quan and his grain team were blocked on the north bank of the Mu River for ten days, and he was so anxious that the corners of his mouth were covered with blisters.
His trip was on Qi Wuwei's order to the seventy-two rich main cities north of Muhe River to purchase grain and other materials to alleviate the material crisis in Yancheng and Yannan cities.
We only need to wait for two more months, and when the crops in the fields are harvested, the drought crisis will be barely over, and then we can truly breathe a sigh of relief.
The people in Yannan were howling with hunger. The food team had purchased enough food but was blocked by floods on their way home. How could Zhao Quan not be in a hurry?
Fortunately, God gave me face and didn't do it one after another.
After three consecutive days of sunny weather, the water level of Muhe River finally dropped, and the bridge deck of Shuangfu Bridge was exposed.
Zhao Quan, who was waiting eagerly, immediately ordered the departure, and 30,000 carriages filled with supplies successfully crossed the bridge.
Zhao Quan happily looked up to the sky and laughed dozens of times, venting the sullenness that had accumulated in his heart for several days.
However, due to the continuous heavy rain, the hard road surface was already soaked by the rainwater, making it difficult to travel in mud, so that the journey of the grain team was slow.
Zhao Quan could only comfort himself by saying that taking one step would be better than standing still.
There was a carriage that was stuck in a mud pit. A few big-headed soldiers were yelling at the butt of the carriage, but they failed to control the direction well, and the carriage flipped over.
Fortunately, the carriage was not damaged, and several people reinstalled it in a few seconds.
"Eh?" One of them exclaimed in surprise while holding the sack of grain, and frowned: "What's in this bag? Why is it so heavy?"
As he spoke, he put the sack on the car, squeezed it with his hand, his face suddenly turned ugly, and he shouted to the other people in a horrified voice: "Brothers, why do I feel like the sack is filled with...
Coarse sand."
"Don't talk nonsense. Each sack is packed by our own hands. How can we possibly put coarse sand in it?" Another person scolded with a straight face.
The man squeezed it again, his face turned into a sad face, and he cried: "It's really sand!"
Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, someone immediately stepped forward and grabbed the mouth of the bag and said, "Untie it and take a look."
The mouth of the bag was untied, and several people looked inside. Their faces turned pale instantly. The sack was not just filled with coarse sand.
"General Zhao, something happened! Something big happened!"
