Chapter 525: A Bag of Coarse Sand
This reward of the Qin family must be inherited by Qin Sui, once Qin Sui inherits the title, the head of the Qin family must be Qin Sui.
Whoever dares not to let Qin Sui be the head of the family is not to take the title rewarded by the official family seriously, to despise the imperial power, and to be killed.
The Great Elder was stunned, feeling that he was concerned and chaotic, and the authorities were confused.
I thought in my heart that Qin Zhenghao and the eldest prince Qin Huo died in 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, so I had to quickly find a way to provoke the Qin family's big beams to resist the attacks of the major forces.
In a hurry, he was blinded by the loss of immediate benefits, just like a demonic barrier, and he never came out again.
Rat-eyed.
He couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, feeling that Zhou Jian was right.
"You really didn't kill the person?" the Great Elder suddenly stared at Zhou Jianlai and asked again.
"You must have killed the man. Zhou Jian responded.
"βthe old man is going to sleep. The Great Elder was annoyed and embarrassed when he didn't agree with each other, and flicked his sleeves to drive away Zhang Xiaopai and the three of them like flies.
Zhang Xiaopaw and the three of them would not stay to be bored, and flew into the air from Niu Dawa's sacrifice to the Wind Domain, and then hid in the dark night to listen to Yuan Taiping and Qin Rulan talking about love.
The Great Elder returned to the room, depressedly drank several cups of herbal tea in a row, and suddenly slammed the teacup on the table while drinking, and scolded in his mouth: "Grass, I was fucked by the little bastard!"
He reacted, Zhou Jian seemed to be very reasonable, but everything was based on the premise that the official family rewarded the title, if the official family did not give the Qin family a knighthood, then Zhou Jian's words were all fucking empty words.
In addition, although the war in the south is peaceful, the east, west and north are still in chaos.
The official family has every opportunity, and they may not be able to find time to reward the southern realm for their meritorious deeds for the time being, if it drags on for a year or two, the Qin family will have already been gnawed by the major families in Baiyun City to the point that there is no bone residue left.
He felt like a fool, Zhou Jianlai drew a big oil cake for him, and he snorted and gnawed on it.
However, he didn't chase out of the door, because he felt that maybe something was really wrong with his thoughts, and he needed to think about it seriously.
......
Qin Rulan was frightened by the four gifts that Yuan Taiping gave her.
The fragrance is fragrant, and the ambergris is bigger than her fist.
One hundred Yuan Shi Jin Dan, she had only seen three in total when she was so big, and she had seen them all when she was auctioning at the auction house.
One will be as white as snow, and the other will be as red as the holy blood of the red sun, which she has only seen in ancient books. If it weren't for the obvious characteristics of the Holy Blood, she wouldn't have recognized what it was.
There is also a pink ****** pendant with a nourishing effect, which is a legendary top treasure.
Qin Rulan was so frightened that she didn't dare to accept it, and in turn tentatively asked Yuan Taiping if he had robbed his family, or where did he get this huge wealth.
Yuan Taiping couldn't cry or laugh when asked, and finally had to tell the truth that these treasures were given to him by Zhang Xiaopaw, to ensure that they came in the right way, so that she could accept them with peace of mind.
After hearing this, Qin Rulan was even more reluctant to accept it, saying that the things were too valuable, urging Yuan Taiping to return them to Zhang Xiaopaw as soon as possible, and also warned Yuan Taiping earnestly that even if he was a good brother who worshipped, he had to be measured in his heart, and he couldn't blindly ask for it, especially such a valuable treasure.
In the end, he solemnly told Yuan Taiping that she Qin Rulan was not a vain woman, as long as Yuan Taiping thought about her in her heart, she would be satisfied, and there was no need to coax her to be happy with these expensive things.
Yuan Taiping asked her to accept it with peace of mind, and she regarded it as a local tyrant.
But Qin Rulan just refused to accept it.
However, when she heard that Yuan Taiping had already eaten a piece of ambergris fruit from Zhang Xiaopaw, taken a drop of holy blood from Zhang Xiaopaw, and even eaten more than 2,000 Yuan Shi Jin Dan from Zhang Xiaopaw before and after, she immediately put away the four things.
Confused, Won Tae-pyeong asked her why.
She replied, "If there are more lice, it will not itch, and if there are more debts, there will be no worries!"
Yuan Taiping nodded again and again, feeling so reasonable.
"Can you tell me about your experience over the past few months?"
"Of course. β
Qin Rulan propped her elbows on the edge of the window, supported her chin with her hands, and listened with relish to Yuan Taiping's narration of a world she had never been exposed to at all.
Yuan Taiping sat cross-legged on the ground in front of the window, telling his experience in the past few months, and he skipped the extremely dangerous experience.
One speaks, the other listens.
Before the boys and girls could react, the sky was already lit up uninterestingly.
"Fourth, it's almost done. If you don't slip away, you will be caught by the guards of the Qin Mansion, and I can guarantee that you will definitely be dragged to the street with your broken legs. β
The sound of Niu Dawa's teasing sounded in the air.
The two people outside the window were startled, and looked up conditionally, and found that Niu Dawa and the three were hanging in the air and looking down at them with a smile.
Yuan Taiping's expression was stunned, and then a black line appeared on his head, gritting his teeth and asking, "Don't tell me, you hid on it and eavesdropped all night." β
"Good wine. Zhou Jianlai raised the wine jug in his hand at him, then grinned and said, "You are not bad, much better than the nonsense storyteller in the tavern." β
After speaking, the three of them looked at each other and laughed, unscrupulous.
Bang!
Qin Rulan sighed in shame and slammed the window shut, feeling that she couldn't see anyone.
Yuan Taiping raised a middle finger fiercely at the three people in mid-air.
Then he bowed to the window and said, "Second Miss, Taiping is about to leave for the imperial capital, and he will definitely ask His Majesty for marriage in the Jinluan Palace, and then come back to marry Miss openly." Take care of your health and wait for me to return. β
"If you can't ask for it, don't force it. My heart is like a rock, and I look forward to your return. This is a long way to go, and you cherish it. Qin Rulan's voice came out of the window shy and timid.
"Thank you, Miss, for your concern. Taiping, retire. Yuan Taiping gave another salute, then bent his knees down and kicked the ground into the sky.
Niu Dawa manipulated the Wind Domain to catch Yuan Taiping, and the four of them flew north.
......
After a long time, Qin Rulan finally calmed down her ashamed emotions, and then walked out of the courtyard with four treasures in the bag and went straight to the courtyard of the Great Elder.
When Qin Rulan put the four treasures in front of the Great Elder one by one, the Great Elder's reaction was not calmer than when Qin Rulan saw these four treasures, not only that, but he was more excited than Qin Rulan, because he understood the value of these things better than Qin Rulan.
"Great Elder, is the money from selling these treasures enough to alleviate the Qin family's predicament?" Qin Rulan asked.
"More than enough. β
"But, it can't be sold. The Great Elder shook his head and smiled.
"Why?" Qin Rulan was puzzled.
"For these treasures are too precious to be measured by gold or silver. The Great Elder said, he secretly swallowed his saliva, forcibly held back the greed in his heart, and said, "These are your personal belongings, you can put them away quickly." β
Qin Rulan didn't do so, but looked into the eyes of the Great Elder and said, "Great Elder, I am willing to work hard for the future of the Qin family, but I can't be the head of the family, and the next head of the Qin family can only be the second brother." β
"Is this your decision?" the Grand Elder asked.
"Hmm," Qin Rulan nodded very affirmatively.
"Well, in that case, the old man will no longer force you. Go and call your mother and second brother. The Great Elder sighed.
This is also a decision he has been thinking about all night, if Qin Rulan is unwilling to take over as the head of the family, he will support Qin Sui as much as possible, do his best to obey the destiny of heaven, and only ask for a clear conscience.
"Okay. Qin Rulan suddenly had a smile on her face when she heard this.
"Wait a minute. The Great Elder stopped Qin Rulan, who was about to turn around and leave, pointed to the ambergris fruit and holy blood on the table, and said, "You take the ambergris fruit and holy blood, this level of treasure can't be known, so it's best not to keep it." Otherwise, if it is accidentally spread out, it is very likely to bring disaster to the Qin family. β
"Ah, it's a pity that I took such a baby, why don't you use it, Great Elder. Qin Rulan felt that taking ambergris fruit and holy blood was a tyrannical thing.
The Great Elder glared at her vigorously and said, "If you want to take it, you can take it, why is there so much nonsense?!"
Qin Rulan was most afraid of the Great Elder's glare, so she nodded her head again and again, first swallowed the holy blood, and then ate the ambergris fruit one bite at a time.
Xiang Shen and Yuan Shi Jindan also put away. The Great Elder said.
Qin Rulan picked up the pink ****** jade pendant and said, "Your soul is damaged, this jade pendant is for you to use." β
"No, I don't. The Great Elder replied.
It's not that he doesn't want to, but he ****** fan, and he really can't afford this look.
It's better to honestly use your own jade pendant, although the effect is weaker than the pink ****** jade pendant, but it's barely enough.
I just don't know when it's going to lose its effectiveness.
The Great Elder couldn't help frowning.
......
Due to the heavy rain for several days, the Twilight River swelled heavily, and the Shuangfu Bridge connecting the two banks of the Twilight River was flooded.
Zhao Quan and his food team were blocked on the north bank of the Dusk River for ten days, so anxious that the corners of his mouth were full of blisters.
His trip was ordered by Qi Wuwei to come to the north of the twilight river, the rich seventy-two main cities to purchase grain and other materials, in order to alleviate the material crisis in Yancheng and the cities of Yannan.
It only takes two more months to get the crops in the field and the drought can barely survive, and then you can really breathe a sigh of relief.
The people of Yannan were screaming with hunger, and the grain team was full of food but the way home was blocked by the flood, how could Zhao Quan not be in a hurry.
Fortunately, God gave face, and he didn't keep going one after another.
After three days of sunny weather, the water surface of the Twilight River finally fell, and the bridge deck of Shuangfu Bridge was exposed.
Zhao Quan, who was waiting for him, ordered to set off as soon as possible, and 30,000 horse-drawn carriages full of supplies crossed the bridge smoothly.
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, and it was muddy and difficult to walk, so that the grain team traveled slowly.
Zhao Quan could only comfort himself by taking one step than standing still.
There was a carriage that was stuck in a mud pit, and several big-headed soldiers shouted at the buttocks of the carriage, but they didn't control the direction well, and the car overturned.
Fortunately, the carriage was not damaged, and several people reloaded it in two or three clicks.
"Huh-" One of them hugged 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 cart, pinched it through the sack, his face suddenly became ugly, and he shouted in a frightened voice to the others: "Brother, I-how do I feel that the sack is filled with coarse-coarse sand." β
"Don't talk nonsense, every sack is packed by our own hands, how can we put coarse sand in it?" the other scolded with a straight face.
The man pinched it again, and his face was already twisted into a mourning face, and he said with a crying voice: "It'sβit'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." β
The mouth of the bag was untied, and several people looked inside, and their faces were bloodless in an instant, and the sack was filled with coarse sand.
"General Zhao, something is wrong!
Screams of terror tore through the clear sky.
