At this time, Qin Lin was no longer the young man who was rescued by Li Fang and escaped from Huai'an City.

Li Fang knew in her heart that Qin Lin would achieve greater greatness in the future.

She can't climb high, and her children climb a lot.

However, after listening to the bet between the girl and Li Fang, Qin Lin showed a happy expression.

"That's a good note. ”

He smiled and asked Li Fang again, "Did you choose a name for the child?"

In the previous two contacts, Qin Lin completely cared about the child.

Now that the child's name was suddenly asked, Li Fang hesitated for a moment.

Nodding, Li Fang: "Well, his grandfather...... That is, Nangong Long named him, Nangong Sharp, which means that he can be sharp in the future and show the strength of the Nangong clan, but now that I think about it, it is really ironic that this name was obtained. ”

Li Fang smiled wryly.

Although she was disgusted with the Nangong clan, no matter what, the blood in her child's body came from the Nangong clan.

Qin Lin thought for a while and said: "In the future, the child will be called Qin Huaisheng, our Huai of Huai'an City." ”

"What do you mean?" asked Li Fang.

"The meaning of rebirth. ”

Qin Lin said concisely, and then looked at Kong Lingyu: "What do you think?"

"It's good, Huaisheng, well, reborn in Huai'an City, this name is okay. ”

The girl was satisfied.

Qin Lin smiled slightly and returned his gaze to Li Fang.

Li Fang also nodded.

She didn't have much expression on her face, but she was grateful.

After returning to the mansion, Kong Lingyu couldn't wait to take Qin Huaisheng from the servant, and couldn't stop calling the child's name.

Qin Lin came to the study with Chunfen.

"Brother, did you also feel the breath of the old wolf?"

The girl asked uneasily.

"Well, I haven't been in contact with the black wolf for a long time, but I'm sure it's the black wolf, but I don't understand why he set the fire. ”

Qin Lin's eyebrows tightened, and his doubts were difficult to solve.

Chunfen sat on the Taishi chair next to her and sighed.

"Why? Why did the old wolf do this?"

"That's it, there's no point in our guessing here, we still have to find the black hunting wolf first. "Qin Lin.

"How?"

"Lead the snake out of the hole. ”

"How?"

"Use you as bait to lure him out. ”

Qin Lin said lightly.

Chunfen was taken aback, "I, how can I lead?"

"Obviously, the reason why the black hunting wolf came to our Huai'an City was because he was worried about your safety, so he followed him all the way. ”

"This ......"

Chunfen had no words to refute this.

Qin Lin continued: "Since he cares about you, if you encounter danger, he will definitely appear. ”

"Since my brother is like this, well, I'll go and create a little danger and lure the old wolf out. ”

Chunfen didn't think twice and completely obeyed Qin Lin's arrangement.

Qin Lin smiled: "What danger can you create? ”

"What does my brother think?"

"West Jinzhou, Nguyen Thi Villa. ”

Qin Lin said.

Chunfen was dazed: "I don't understand." ”

Qin Lin explained: "If you go to West Jinzhou now and help Ruan Jie retake the villa, it will inevitably attract the encirclement and suppression of the Zhao family and the Wei family, and at that time, you will be in danger." ”

When Chunfen heard this, she was even more at a loss.

To lure the black hunting wolf, you can create a false danger.

But going to West Jinzhou to provoke the Wei clan is equivalent to looking for death, and such a danger is too dangerous.

"Brother, Wei, can we afford to offend Wei?"

Chunfen asked weakly.

Qin Lin shrugged his shoulders and asked rhetorically, "What can't you afford to offend?"

"They are the overlords of the Western Continent. ”

"It used to be, and it still is for the time being, but not necessarily in the future. ”

"Brother wants to capture West Jinzhou?"

"Almost, West Jinzhou must be attacked, it's just a matter of time. ”

After all, he has a lot of relationship with Wei Ying, and Qin Lin's attitude towards Wei is not firm yet.

Chunfen has always known about Qin Lin's hegemony.

She stood up: "Okay, since my brother intends to capture Xijinzhou, then Chunfen will go to the big head battle first." ”

The girl is not afraid.

Qin Lin thought for a while, "Let's not rush first, let's go back to Changzhou first, go to see my grandfather, and Su Huan." ”

"Okay. Chunfen smiled.

In fact, when he went to Changzhou, Qin Lin's main thought was to penetrate the entire front.

Xijinju is located in the southeast of the Western Continent, going north and bordering the area controlled by Lishan, and to the south, bordering Changzhou.

So Qin Lin considered taking Changzhou first.

The territory of the entire Western Continent can be divided into five spheres of influence.

The northern part is the Plateau State power.

Due to the blockage of the plateau mountain range, it can basically be regarded as an isolated force from the outside world.

The western part is the power of Lizhou, that is, the hometown of the iron sword that had tried his swordsmanship with Qin Lin on Lishan Mountain three years ago.

Qin Lin had no interest in the west for the time being.

And the sphere of influence in the central Lishan is now in Qin Lin's hands

To the east and south is the sphere of influence of West Jinzhou.

The sphere of influence in West Jinzhou extended to Changzhou in the south, and after Changzhou was Lanzhou.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Qin decided that Changzhou would have absolute advantages for attacking Xijinzhou in the future.

Even if we don't consider attacking Xijinzhou for the time being, taking Changzhou is an important part of stabilizing the entire southern region.

"The road must be taken step by step, and the territory must be occupied little by little. ”

Qin Lin thought so, and made a decision in his heart.

Five days later.

A carriage and two fast horses stopped at the gate of the Qin Mansion.

The carriage was prepared for Kong Lingyu and Li Fang.

"Lingyu, after returning to Lishan, remember to settle Li Fang and Huaisheng. ”

"You know, you're so worried about your old lover?"

The girl pretended to be sour.

Qin Lin said: "I'm worried that you are arrogant and treat our godson badly. ”

"Rest assured, I promise to vacate the best house on Lishan for them to live in. ”

The girl patted Qin Lin's chest and continued: "It's you, be careful along the way, and go back to Lishan as soon as you finish your work." ”

"Hmm. ”

Qin Lin nodded.

He didn't tell the girl what he was going to do next.

After all, Wei Ying was still in Lishan at this time, and Qin Lin didn't want to reveal too much.

Lin Wen came slowly with a column of soldiers.

"Holy Lord, my subordinates have selected twenty soldiers to escort Madame and Miss Li Fang to Lishan. ”

Qin Lin nodded.

Then, watching the girl's carriage go to school

"Lin Wen, Huai'an City will be handed over to you. ”

"Holy Lord rest assured, his subordinates must be stable Huai'an. ”

Lin Wen gave up.

Qin Lin didn't have any more, and Chunfen and Chunfen also left Huai'an City one by one.

Three days later, two fast horses entered the border of Changzhou.

......

The snow season is here.

The city of Changzhou is already covered with a layer of white first snow.

The horse's hooves passed, leaving a mark.

Qin Lin and Chunfen dismounted some distance in front of the Su Mansion and walked slowly across the street.

"Brother, when we left, we didn't say hello to the head of the Su Huan family, will you blame us?"

"No, she doesn't have that much energy. ”

Qin Lin smiled lightly.

The footsteps of the two people stopped in front of the gate of Sufu.

The Su family recruited new disciples and did not recognize Qin Lin and Chunfen.

But when they saw Qin Lin's luxurious robe, they knew that their identity was not shallow, and they stepped forward and saluted: "I don't know what the two of you are doing when you come to our Su Mansion?"

When Qin Lin heard this, he had no choice but to be polite: "Come and meet the head of your Su family, Su Huan." ”

"Huh?"

The disciple was stunned.

Qin Lin asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's not that I can't see it, it's just that Aunt Su Huan has abdicated a year ago and is no longer the head of the Su family. ”

"Then who is the head of the Su family now?"

"This ......" the disciple is not good at calling the head of the family by his name.

Qin Lin waved his hand: "That's it, no matter who the head of the family is, let's come to meet the head of the Su family." ”

"Okay, I don't know what to call the two of you?"

"Qin Lin. ”

"Chunfen. ”

The two reported their names one after another.

The disciple's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he said to himself: "It's a familiar name, where have you heard it?" ”

"Let's go and report it. "Qin Lin.

"Okay, you guys, wait a minute. ”

The disciple was polite and polite throughout the whole process, and turned around and went into the house to report.

Not long after, there was a rush of footsteps in the courtyard.

I only saw that the young man in the mink robe stumbled out, almost falling in front of Qin Lin.

"Elder Qin, Elder You're finally back, if you don't come back, our Su family will be finished!"

The man was thrilled.

Qin Lin and Chunfen both stared at the man, and after a moment, both of them exclaimed at the same time, "Su Hanshui?"

"Yes, it's me, Elder, Miss Chunfen, don't you recognize me?"

Su Hanshui, who once followed Qin Lin to practice the "One Vein Sword Technique", and Chunfen can be regarded as confidants and friends.

Chunfen looked at Su Hanshui and was surprised: "Hanshui, how did you make yourself so haggard? It's only been three years, how do you feel like you're more than ten years old." ”

"Don't mention it, these three years...... No, it's been this year, and I'm going crazy. ”

Su Hanshui's face was full of despair.

He grabbed Qin Lin's hand, as if grasping a life-saving straw: "Elder, it's good for you to come back now, come back with me, and I'll follow you slowly." ”

Qin Lin nodded.

Even if he didn't ask much else, Qin Lin only looked at Su Hanshui's appearance at this time, combined with Su Huan's abdication a year ago, he knew that the Su family had undergone great changes in the past three years.

Coming to the front hall, Su Hanshui beckoned the servants to make tea for Qin Lin and Chunfen.

Before the tea was delivered, Su Hanshui was already complaining.

"Elder, you left without saying a word three years ago, although the Lord of Qin Prefecture did not blame you for offending Jinzong, but he was also very wary of our Su family, in order to control our Su family, he sent someone to the Su family to propose marriage, and asked Aunt Su Huan to marry their Qin family......"

"Su Huan is already married?"

Qin Lin interrupted Su Hanshui and was a little excited.

Qin Lin was suddenly excited, and stood up directly from the Taishi chair.

This made Chunfen and Su Hanshui stunned for a moment.

There is no doubt that Qin Lin subconsciously still cares about Su Huan very much.

Han Shui hurriedly shook his head and explained: "Haven't married yet!" Elder, don't get excited, Aunt Su Huan has been procrastinating and has not yet married. ”

"Oh!"

Qin Lin realized that he was out of shape and slowly sat down again.

Han Shui continued: "Three years ago, Qin Bailuo sent someone to propose marriage, Aunt Su Huan knew that this was a means taken by Qin Bailuo to control our Su family, so she knew that she couldn't refuse, and refusal would lead to greater trouble, so she could only drag ...... first."

At this point, Hanshui sighed helplessly.

He continued: "A year ago, Aunt Su Huan realized that it wouldn't last long, so she passed on the position of head of the family to me, wanting to marry the Qin family as an ordinary Su family relative. ”

"Where is she now?" Qin Lin asked.

"Half a month ago, he was taken to the state lord's mansion by Qin Bailuo. ”

The cold water responded.

"Qin Bailuo!"

Qin Lin's tone was low, showing anger.

He asked, "Who does Qin Bailuo want Su Huan to marry?"

"His nephew, according to his aunt, is also a disciple of Mu Zong, but he has not seen anyone yet, and he is only known as Qin Sheng. ”

"Hehe......"

Qin Lin was speechless and sneered.

Then he stood up and said, "I'll go to visit my grandfather first, and then I'll go to the state lord's mansion to meet Qin Bailuo for a while." ”

With that, Qin Lin walked out of the front hall.

Hanshui and Chunfen followed.

The cold water is still the cold water that was willing to follow Qin Lin back then.

It seems so, and he will feel at ease.

The three of them came to the courtyard of the five elders of the Su family, that is, Qin Lin's grandfather Su Qiu.

Ever since Qin Bailuo showed his vigilance against the Su family, the disciples of the Su family were all in danger, and the Su family's relatives had also found various reasons to leave Changzhou in the past three years to avoid being affected.

The people who are still in Su Mansion are the most loyal people, including Su Qiu.

Yes, after Hanshui succeeded to the position of head of the family, Su Qiu was Hanshui's greatest spiritual support, and many clan affairs needed to be handled by Su Qiu himself.

In this way, the elderly are also aging.

When Qin Lin pushed open the courtyard door, he saw Su Qiu hurrying out of the house.

The domestic servant had already told him the news of Qin Lin's return.

He was about to look for his grandson, and he came.

"Lin'er ......"

Su Qiu trembled, compared with three years ago, he was too old.

"Grandpa!"

Qin Lin was a little sad, and his eyebrows were slightly wrinkled.

Chunfen stepped forward and hugged Su Qiu: "Grandpa, why are you so powerless?"

Chunfen's perceptual ability was not shallow, and she sensed that Su Qiu's breath was depleted.

"People are getting old. ”

Su Qiuci looked at Chunfen with a smile: "The girl has also grown up." ”

"Grandpa......"

Chunfen's eyes couldn't help but ooze tears.

She was originally just a maid, but whether it was Qin Lin or Su Qiu, they regarded her as a relative.

"Grandpa, cold, let's go into the house. ”

Qin Lin also stepped forward to support Su Qiu.

Back in the house, Hanshui told the servant to fetch a few more stoves and prepare hot tea.

Su Qiu is usually frugal, and now although the Su family is struggling to support the name of the "state capital" clan, in fact, the family's industry has declined under the suppression of the Qin family.

Burning wood in winter can no longer be as extravagant as before.

So Su Qiu only set up a stove in the house, which really couldn't keep out the cold.

"Fifth Elder, the cold water can't stand you, if the cold water can afford to be the head of the family, there is no need for you to work so hard. ”

The cold water is low and blames itself.

Su Qiu waved his hand: "As an elder of the Su family, what I should do cannot be left behind." ”

So, Su Qiu spoke seriously: "Hanshui, you have to break through the warrior realm as soon as possible, now your cultivation has reached the ninth level of martial arts, only the last point is missing, don't slack off." ”

"Hanshui will definitely step up his cultivation. ”

The cold water gives up.

Su Qiu nodded.
