Yuan Singxiao nodded again and said, "Did you say that it was really useful to kill Gongzi?"

He Min said: "It's useless to know if it's tried, after all, he is my son of Great Qin, he can live like a dog, but he will never die like a dog, if my dignified son of Great Qin dies unexplained in Linzi, Qi State will definitely give me Qin State an explanation." As the saying goes, if the name is not right, it is not good, if the Qi State does not give an explanation, even if my Qin State sends troops at that time, it will be justified!"

Yuan Singxiao sighed: "All living beings are chess pieces! But then again, my king is indeed ruthless, his own sons have all succeeded, and we, as executors, are a little frightened!"

He Min glared at him and said, "As a citizen of Great Qin, it is natural to sacrifice one's life for the country, and I, Wang Shengming, will disregard family affection and treat everyone equally." As the son of Qin, Qu Nian should lead by example, instead of living in Linzi in a muddy way, being ridiculed and embarrassed, it is better to contribute a little bit to my Great Qin, and he can be regarded as a well-deserved death, worthy of his identity as a son. ”

As soon as the words fell, a meteor pierced the sky.

In a small courtyard of the Thousand Nations Chamber of Commerce, Cicada Xi was dressed in white and was standing in the courtyard, looking up at the starry sky, and also saw this meteor passing by.

At this time, the door of the small courtyard was pushed open, and Yushu hurriedly ran in.

Cicada Xi asked, "How is it?"

Yu Shu walked to Cicada Xi's side and whispered, "I heard that the envoy of the Qin State came to the Qin State this time to propose marriage!"

Cicada Xi was stunned: "Propose marriage, marry or marry?"

Yu Shu said: "It seems that the prince of the Qin State wants to marry the princess of the Qi State!"

Cicada Xi said: "Has Qi Guo agreed?"

Yu Shu said: "I didn't agree, but I didn't refuse either, the envoy of the Qin State is now waiting for news at the Liuhua Inn!"

Cicada Xi took a deep breath, fell into deep thought, and said for a long time: "There is no agreement, and there is no refusal, that is to say, Qi Guo is still tempted!"

Yu Shu sighed: "This is not good news, if the two great powers of Qi and Qin form an alliance and the East and West are combined, it will really be invincible in the world!"

Cicada Xi shook his head and said: "No, this is good news, if the Qi State agrees to form an alliance, the pattern of the world will change, and the other five Shandong countries will definitely not sit idly by, and there will be variables, as long as the situation changes, there will be the possibility of my Song State being restored." ”

Yu Shu thought for a while and said, "Then do you say that the Qi Kingdom will agree to marry?"

Cicada Xi shook his head again and said, "I don't know! Since Qi Guo didn't hurriedly agree, he must also consider the reactions of the other five countries, but King Qi is extremely ambitious, he should want to marry, if he doesn't marry, Qi State will always live in this corner of the place, I don't think King Qi will be willing." ”

Yu Shu said: "What does Miss mean, Qi Guo will definitely agree to the marriage?"

Cicada Xi still shook her head and said, "I don't know, it depends on the reaction of the other five countries." If the reaction of those five countries is too fierce, the Qi country will never dare to insist on going its own way, otherwise the gains will outweigh the losses!"

Yu Shu nodded and said, "But today, the envoy of the Qin State met Qu Nian Gongzi on the street!"

Cicada Xi was stunned: "Qu Nian's son went to the mission again to ask for money?"

Yu Shu said: "That's not true, it's at the door of the Moon Tower, I met by chance, and the prince of Qu Nian didn't react at that time, but the envoy of the Qin State was polite to the prince of Qu Nian this time, and they all dismounted and saluted, very respectful, which surprised me." ”

Cicada Xi said: "All dismount and salute? It seems that this Qu Nian has really been valued by the Qin State again? These officials are the best at judging the situation and seeing the wind and rudder, it will never be a whim!"

Yu Shu said: "Miss is very analytical, I heard that the envoy of Hermin Zheng also asked Qu Nian if he was interested in returning to the Qin Kingdom!"

Cicada Xi said: "What do you say about Qu Nian?"

Yu Shu said: "Qu Nian said that he was not interested, and said that he was doing well here!"

Cicada Xi fell into contemplation again, and said for a long time before he said: "Then I can't figure it out a little! If I don't go back to Qin, what do I want to do in Qu Nian? I really want to be a merchant in Linzi? To him, this is an enemy country!"

Yu Shu said: "It is also possible that Qu Nian also knows that Qi and Qin are going to marry, then Qi will not be considered an enemy country, and he will be safe here!"

Cicada Xi sighed: "It's possible! But no matter how good the merchant is, he won't go back to be a prince!"

Yu Shu said: "This time, I look at this Qu Nian son, his thoughts are different from ordinary people, maybe he is also tired of the life of palace battles, right? ”

Cicada Xi was stunned: "The idea is different from ordinary people, how can you see it?"

Yu Shu said: "Anyway, it's the overall feeling! I saw him before, and I felt that he was so obscene, although he was a son of a country, but he was also a thief, but these two times I saw him, I didn't have such a feeling, he talked freely, and he was very personable." And his Moon Tower has begun to be renovated, and unlike ordinary people's thoughts, his restaurant is now starting to be rented out?"

Cicada Xi was stunned: "Rental?"

Yu Shu nodded and said, "Yes, but not all of them are rented! He divided all the rows of houses facing the street into shops, about twenty or so, and now they are rented out, two thousand taels a year, and I don't know the purpose of the other houses, anyway, these twenty shops only account for less than one-tenth of the entire restaurant!"

Cicada Xi said: "Can you rent it out?"

Yu Shu nodded and said: "There should be no problem, many people went over to ask in the afternoon, but Qu Nian is not here!"

Cicada Xi said: "If he can really rent it out, that is to say, the row of shops below him can have an income of 40,000 taels a year? He bought this restaurant for 400,000 taels, and he can return to his capital in ten years with this row of shops alone?"

Yu Shu nodded and said: "But this row of shops only occupies a small part of the entire restaurant, he still holds most of the rooms in his hands, if he rents it out, he can also have a large amount of income, it is estimated that it will return to the capital in three or five years at most!"

Cicada Xi smiled and said, "I have to say, we used to underestimate this prince of Qin, and he is indeed a genius in business!"

Yu Shu said: "Yes! If you let Lingyangjun know, it is estimated that Lingyangjun will regret it and vomit blood!"

Cicada Xi said: "It's not enough to vomit blood, but I must regret it very much!"

Yu Shu nodded and said, "Yes! Now that Qu Nian has income, do you think he will come to mortgage the restaurant?"

Cicada Xi thought for a while and said: "It should be, his remaining room must be used for business, it is definitely not rented out, the investment of hundreds of thousands of taels, he must have planned it in advance, since he asked me to mortgage it before, he must still be short of money, but I don't know what business he wants to do?"

Yu Shu said: "Anyway, it's definitely not a restaurant!"

Cicada Xi said: "No matter what business he wants to do, tomorrow morning you go to Mochizuki Tower, if his twenty shops are rented out, don't wait for three days, tomorrow you can ask Qu Nian to see if he wants to mortgage? If so, you can allocate 200,000 taels of silver to him tomorrow." ”

Yu Shu nodded and said, "Okay, anyway, even if this restaurant doesn't do business, we won't lose money just by renting out the shop!"

Cicada Xi looked up at the starry sky and sighed softly: "I want to close his heart!"

Yu Shu said: "Miss thinks he has a chance to return to China to inherit the throne?"

Cicada Xi said: "Everything is possible!"

Yushu nodded and said, "I understand!"

Others have more and more confidence in Qu Nian, but Qu Nian himself is becoming less and less confident in himself, he feels that the sword spirit has deceived him, saying that his body has been built by it, but when he returned home at noon, he has been cultivating, he has not even eaten dinner, and he has been cultivating until late at night, but he has never been able to break the ranks. Originally, he thought that breaking the stairs was like a low threshold for him, and he could cross it with a light step, but now he felt that breaking the stairs was like an insurmountable mountain, and he couldn't climb it even if he tried his best.

He was a little discouraged, his confidence began to collapse, and he was embarrassed to go out when he peed, for fear of being bumped into by Bai Xiaoya or his apprentice, and asked him about the progress of his cultivation, he didn't know how to answer. Fortunately, there are a few wine jars in the broken house, which can solve his peeing problem.

But the ugly daughter-in-law always had to see her in-laws, and early the next morning, his precious apprentice Chu San dared to climb over the wall, ran over in a hurry, and knocked on his door. Chu Sandang came here yesterday and knew that he was locked up here alone to cultivate.

Qu Nian cultivated until the early hours of the morning, and he was disheartened, so he fell on the torn quilt and squinted for a while, and when he heard Chu Sandare's voice, he was a little flustered, as if he had been hit by someone.

Qu Nian got up and opened the door, and saw Chu Sandare's face was joyful, and said hurriedly: "Master, the immortal family formula you passed on to me is too good, after my night of hard cultivation, I have broken through the fourth order, I have been breaking through the door for two years, I thought that I would be stuck in the third order in my life, but I didn't expect the time to run, I had to meet the master, and now I have broken through the fourth order in one fell swoop!" After speaking, he said deeply: "Thank you Master for your advice!"

Qu Nian was stunned, and even a little confused, he only hated that there was no mental hospital in this world, otherwise he would definitely be dragged to check to see if he was insane? Although the third and fourth orders sound like just a realm of entry, Qu Nian knows that the ninth order is actually divided into three realms, the first, second and third orders are called the Zhuhua realm, mainly to improve the physique, compared with ordinary people, just the body is stronger, the movements are more agile, and the others have not changed, but once the fourth order is broken, the body becomes obviously different, the fourth, fifth and sixth orders are called both the civilization realm, also known as the water realm, as the name suggests, once you break through the fourth order, you will become as light as a swallow, and no matter how wide the lake is, you can also point to the water. And the seventh, eighth, and ninth order is also known as the refining realm, once you break through this realm, you can fly the eaves and walk the wall, and travel thousands of miles a day.

It is very easy for ordinary people to break the rank, but after breaking the rank, it will become extremely difficult to step into the Zhuhua Realm, and the further it goes, the more difficult it becomes, especially the breakthrough from the Zhuhua Realm to the Cultivation Realm, and the breakthrough from the Cultivation Realm to the Refining Realm, it is really difficult to reach the blue sky, and many cultivators have been stuck here all their lives, so Chu Sandare's previous worries are not unreasonable.

Qu Nian was still a little worried, for fear that he had gone mad and had hysteria, so he said, "You can jump one and show me!"

Chu San dared to nod and said, "Okay!"
