Today, three of the seven counties support the eldest prince, the other three support the second prince, and the wild counties remain neutral and impartial.

But the eldest prince and the second prince both knew in their hearts that whether they could win the support of the Barbarian County was the most critical step in whether they could become emperors.

Originally, the Barbarian County was directly subordinate to the Qin family, but due to various reasons, the Qin family did not get the actual control of the Barbarian County, but was directly governed by Shangguanhai, who was directly appointed by the royal family.

In recent years, the battle for the throne between the eldest prince Huangpu Batian and the second prince Huangpu Wuji has been fierce. Although the Great Qianguo shows a harmonious situation on the surface, in fact, there are waves behind the scenes. The other princes are much worse in terms of experience and age, so the call for the eldest prince and the second prince to ascend to the throne is very high.

Qin Zhan had no interest in the struggle for the throne, and with his status, it was difficult to be taken seriously. Therefore, although Qin Zhangui is a first-class marquis, no one has recognized it from beginning to end.

Along the way, Qin Zhan listened to the thin monkey say a lot, and slowly gained a general understanding of the division of strength in the Great Qianguo. Qin Zhan only wanted to get the favor of the Ninth Princess Huangpu Yu at this time, and he had no interest in who was the next emperor.

Half a day later, Qin Zhan and the others had roughly traveled less than half the way and came to Qingling Town. Although it is Qingling Town, it is actually a relatively large inn to put it bluntly. But don't underestimate this inn, the equipment here is very complete, eating, drinking, prostitution, gambling and sampling, there are both halls, inns and trading shops and other facilities, and even some mercenaries.

It is said that this is an inn opened by the second prince, so even if it is opened in this wilderness, no one dares to fight them, unless they just don't want to live.

It seems that there are more than two percent more people going to take the spiritual power test this year than in previous years, and the foothold of Qingling Town alone is already overcrowded at this time. Some of the children of the family are okay, and some clansmen have taken care of everything early and booked a table in advance. And those poor people with ordinary backgrounds were even arranged outside the inn, which shows that there are too many people here.

When Qin Zhan and the others arrived at Qingling Town, they saw that the outside of the inn courtyard was already full of people, and even many people were sitting on the ground, taking out the dry food they had prepared in advance and eating while hurrying to rest.

Because the distance from Qingling Town to the Imperial City is less than an hour, but everyone plans to rest here for a while in order to have a full mental state to test their talents. Therefore, Qin Zhan and the others also seized the time to rest and replenish their physical strength.

The number of civilians sitting on the ground was very large, and many of them were already fifteen or sixteen years old, and their cultivation had only reached the first level of body refining. Of course, there are also very few people who have a very high level of cultivation, and with his keen spiritual power, Qin Zhan turned his gaze to a young man who looked very downcast in the corner.

Qin Zhan's intuition told him that this person's cultivation was very high, and there was a faint evil aura on his body. This person must have experienced a lot of killing, and his aura gave Qin Zhan the feeling of a ferocious beast. As if sensing that Qin Zhan was looking at him, the man raised his head suddenly, and immediately caught that it was Qin Zhan looking at him. This person's eyes were extremely sharp, which startled Qin Zhan. So Qin Zhan hurriedly pretended to be looking around and turned his head away.

Seeing that Qin Zhan was just a six-year-old child, the man stared at Qin Zhan for a while and then closed his eyes, as if he was resting.

The people in the courtyard sat together in a chaotic manner, and some even drank in groups. Qin Zhan said to Ah Er: "Go and book a private room for Young Master Ben, I've been walking all the way, I'm about to starve Young Master to death."

Ah Er's face was also full of joy when he heard Qin Zhan's words, which was exactly what he wanted, and Ah Er didn't want to sit with a group of poor people in his heart.

So, Ah Er showed his standard servile face again, swaggered through these civilians, and went to the counter to reserve a seat.

The thin monkey on the side hesitated for a moment and said to Qin Zhan: "Young Master Qin, the price of the inn here is not cheap, don't look at it, it only has two floors. On the first floor, as long as you have the money and can afford it, you can book a seat. However, the deposit at the bottom of the first floor alone is at least 200 gold coins, and the price of this dish is also very expensive. The second layer is not just rich to go up, there is a condition, at least you are a member of a family above the third grade to be eligible to enter. Moreover, at this time of the year, there are servants of the second prince waiting for him to come to greet these children of the family. Therefore, the second prince Huangpu Wuji has a very high reputation among various families in the Great Qianguo, and almost all of them have caught up with the prestige of the great prince."

Listening to the thin monkey's words, Qin Zhan couldn't help but be speechless, he wasn't surprised because only the children of the family were allowed to enter this second layer. Instead, I was scared by the expensive consumption of the inn. You must know that Steward Mo only gave them a thousand gold coins, although Qin Zhan's space ring had a lot of gold coins, but he didn't want outsiders to know. After all, there are not many people in the entire Great Qianguo who have space rings, and those who have space rings are either prominent families or famous masters, and their strength is so strong that ordinary people rarely dare to fight their ideas.

After a while, Ah Er came back to Qin Zhan in disgrace and said, "Young Master, I asked, due to the large number of guests in the past two days, the worst position on the first floor has to pay three hundred gold coins first, and there is only one table left on the first floor."

He was also shocked when he learned about the price of this consumption, but he was not frightened because he had never seen the world. On the contrary, Ah Er had followed Qin Zhan before and had no less defeats. The reason why this is so is because Ah Er was not happy when he learned that it was possible to spend five or six hundred gold coins on a single meal, after all, they only had one thousand gold coins. Although Ah Er has more or less private money, he will definitely not take out his own money to spend, you must know that it is his savings for several years. Ah Er originally wanted to praise more money, and went back to find a place to buy a hundred acres of fertile land and become a small landlord.

Listening to Ah Er's words, Qin Zhan couldn't help but scold his mother, and raised another hundred gold coins. It's good that he is a marquis, although Qin Zhan did not tell others that he is the first-class marquis of the Qin family.

At this time, Qin Zhan's child's more serious habits came up, and said to Ah Er: "There is no place on the first floor, and there is no place on the second floor."

After listening to Qin Zhan's words, Ah Er said helplessly: "A seat on the second floor costs two thousand gold coins."

"What, two thousand, black shop, absolute black shop, you won't have to go back and sell your property after a meal."

In the end, Qin Zhan decided to set the last seat left on the first floor. Qin Zhan and the others walked into the Qingfeng Inn, only to see that the interior decoration of the inn was quite extravagant, the wooden floor was still covered with animal skins, and dozens of dining tables were arranged in the inn on the first floor.
