"Hmph, hand it over to the emperor, do you really think so?" The old man's voice was full of a certain hatred of iron and steel, but Hong Bingying didn't know where this emotion came from, and because the distance was too far, the light of the candle couldn't shine on the other side of the room, so Hong Bingying couldn't see the old man's expression clearly.

But before Hong Bingying could ask why, the old man said to himself: "Although our Qin family is a royal family, it has been declining more and more over the years. Ever since I got old, these juniors have lost their enterprising spirit, trapped themselves in a corner of this imperial city, and even lost most of the foundation I laid down for them. ”

"Wait!" Hearing the old man's words, Hong Bingying was startled: "Could it be that you are ...... Emperor Taixu who merged Great Qin and Great Yue into one country?"

"Emperor Taixu?!" The old man asked angrily, "Which bastard is it? Give me such a name?! I said that let them treat me as if I were dead, and they really treated me as if I were dead?!When did I ever be false?!"

The old man's angry voice echoed in this narrow space, shaking Hong Bingying's ears.

"Hmph, if I hadn't been able to get out of here, I would have settled a good account with them a long time ago!" the old man said cruelly, and continued: "You guessed right, I am the one who yin the kid of the Emperor Dayue once, as the emperor, he actually dared to swagger to my capital of Daqin, I can only say that he is too bold." However, he paid for it, and I paid for it. ”

Hong Bingying reacted, he raised the seal in his hand, and asked with some anxiety: "Could it be that it is this seal that Yin the Dayue Emperor once?!"

Hong Bingying remembers very well that as long as she holds this seal in her hand, she has a feeling that everything is in her hands, whether it is the secrets hidden behind it, or those lives with completely different identities walking in the streets and alleys, they are all in Hong Bingying's hands.

"That's right, it's this seal, just this time we caught Da Yue off guard, and more than doubled the territory of the Great Qin Empire, but unfortunately I was also cursed, and I even felt that our Qin family became what it is now, which is also some kind of curse. ”

Hong Bingying looked at the seal in her hand and felt that she should throw it out now, where is this gift? She felt that the old man opposite seemed to have thrown a hot potato on his hand.

The old man seemed to see Hong Bingying's expression, and laughed: "Hehe, don't worry, as long as you don't do too much with this seal in your hand, there will be no curse, this seal has been with me since I was a child, before that incident, I often used this seal to soar between heaven and earth, and I didn't see any curse happen to me." However, I believe that its flaws, you have also discovered, the use of this seal can only be within the Imperial City, and it will have no effect when it leaves the Imperial City. ”

"Now the emperor of the Great Qin Empire, or the emperor who called last time, or the emperor of the Great Qin Empire last time, this seal is a scourge in their hands, they will definitely use this seal to do some wanton things and kill those who are disobedient, if so, the Qin family, which was originally cursed, will soon disappear on this long river of history, leaving no trace of it. That's why I'm not going to give this seal to those juniors who don't have much ability. ”

Hong Bingying shook her head: "But...... That's not why you gave me this seal, what if I did something bad with it, and I didn't do anything, this magical object shouldn't belong to me. ”

"Heh, you don't want to forget it!" Hong Bingying just couldn't figure out the old man's thoughts, but she didn't expect the old man to turn his face the next moment: "This treasure of the Qin clan is given to you, and you have been pushed out by your mother-in-law for a long time! If it weren't for the fact that you are the descendant of our Qin family, I would have kicked you out a long time ago! No! Now you can go, I don't want to see you at all!"

Hong Bingying, who was ordered to be evicted, did not move, he saw the direction of the old man and asked, "Although I'm sorry, I have a question for you, do you know my mother?"

"Your mother, what's your mother's name?"

"I don't know ......" Hong Bingying was a little frustrated: "I only know that he is from the royal family, but I don't know his name." ”

"I don't know the name, so are you kidding me? What about the appearance, if you don't know what you look like, then you better look for it and get out of here, I'm upset when I see you now." The old man's tone was full of impatience, as if he was about to jump in the next moment.

Hong Bingying tried hard to recall the appearance of her mother that she had remembered in her heart before, and suddenly she had an idea, as if she had thought of something.

He picked up a piece of candle from behind him, which was only the length of his thumb, and was careful not to drip the hot candle tears on his hands, and walked in the direction of the old man.

The old man stood up and looked at Hong Bingying with a condescending gaze: "What? Do you want to see my appearance clearly? Then let's take a look generously." ”

Hong Bingying shook her head: "I don't want to see you, I want to see this painting." ”

As she spoke, Hong Bingying crossed the futon where the old man was and walked to the last iron door, and the light of the candle illuminated the painting behind the front door. The girl's eyes seemed to come back to life in the light of the candle, flashing with a sparkling gaze, looking at a deep darkness not far away.

After carefully observing for a long time, Hong Bingying finally matched the eyebrows and eyes on the painting with the appearance in his memory, and he nodded: "That's right, my mother is the person on this painting!"

"Impossible!" a breathless voice sounded behind him, and the old man said categorically: "The person in this painting can never be your mother!"

"Why?" Hong Bingying looked into the old man's eyes in confusion: "Why can't the person in this painting be my mother?"

The corner of the old man's eyes twitched, and the wrinkles on it were layered, like layers of mountains: "Because he is my queen!"

Hong Bingying was stunned for a moment, and then carefully observed the woman on the picture, whether it was her appearance or temperament, including the color of her eyes, she was exactly the same as the mother in her memory, how could her mother be the queen of the dying old emperor in front of her?

Hong Bingying thought about it for a while, and then thought of another possibility: "Will it ...... My mother is your junior, so she looks a little like the person in this portrait?"

"That can't ...... either"

The old man's angry voice suddenly softened, and even Hong Bingying could hear the hesitation in his words clearly, as if in the old man's mouth, there was something unspeakable that could not be announced to the public, so he could only answer vaguely.

However, now it was about Hong Bingying's mother, and he didn't think about whether the old man was on his mind by his own words, so he asked, "Why? Why is it impossible? Didn't you say that I was also from the royal family?

"Why??," The old man took the painting from behind the iron door a little irritably, as if he wanted to tear it open, but he paused and held the scroll to roll the painting: "There is no why, anyway, your mother can never be the person in the picture!

Hong Bingying was a little puzzled, could it be that this old man was suffering from diseases such as Alzheimer's because he was too old? That's why he was so difficult to get along with? Obviously, he was still logical and clear when he spoke just now, but now he doesn't match the preface and the afterword, and he refuses to answer even a question.

Of course, Hong Bingying will not give up here, now he has found a clue about his mother, it may be the only clue, if he gives up here, Hong Bingying doesn't know if he can still hear the news of his mother, even if he goes back home and finds the source of the news of his mother at the beginning, I am afraid that the old man in front of him knows his mother's whereabouts better.

You are, Hong Bingying made up his mind and would never leave here, he looked at the old man in front of him, and said categorically: "If you don't tell me my mother's whereabouts, I will never leave here, and I will keep asking you questions until you tell me!"

"Hmph, little girl, believe it or not, I'm throwing you out of here? Don't look at me as an old man, just bully me for being old and frail, I'll be completely out of touch with you little girl!"

"I don't believe it! If you have the ability, you can throw me out! If you lose it once, I will come back once, you will lose it ten times, I will come back ten times, you will lose it a hundred times, I will come back a hundred times! In the end, I am still alive, and I will climb back. Hong Bingying strengthened his belief, in fact, he felt that the old man was not lying, and it was impossible to live to this age, except for that seal, without a little physical abnormality.

Hong Bingying knew that some people who had cultivated peerless martial arts would always live longer than ordinary people, as long as they didn't die, they were a very powerful force, and those powerful families that had lasted countless years always had some old monsters in charge, and that was also the reason why those powerful families could continue forever.

Father's Black Tiger Hall is not a powerful ancient sect, it was fought by his father in Wenyang Mansion with a knife and a gun, so there are no old monsters in the family, and my father sometimes always seems to say to himself, I hope that there will be a powerful and incomparable person in the Black Tiger Hall, so that he can continue to expand the sphere of influence of the Black Tiger Hall without worrying about the backyard catching fire.
