Since Qin Hui Wangzhi County, Langzhong has been a hundred years.

It's the middle of winter, and the ancient pines on both sides of the road hang a layer of sparkling hoarfrost, shining in the sun.

A fast horse galloped from a distance.

Perhaps it was a long and difficult trek with a layer of fog on the horse. The knight on the horse, with a scarf on his face, kept whipping the horses. In the distance, the high wall of Langzhong County is already in sight, the city gate is wide open, and there are more than a dozen guards standing at the door.

"Come and live!"

Menber apparently saw the horse as well, and hurriedly stood up and shouted loudly. The age of this disciple is about thirty or forty years old, and he is burly and strong, and there is a beautiful hair under his chin, which is quite graceful. He shouted in a dialect with a strong accent as he poked his weapon out.

The knight on the horse also saw the Menber.

"I am from the Qin Mansion, I am from Xianyang, I have an urgent matter to report to the third master, get out of the way!"

Qinfu, these two words have supreme authority in Bashu and Shu. Although the doorman wanted to stop the war horse, after hearing the word Qinfu, he immediately waved his hand to let the doorman get out of the way. The knight rode his horse and whipped into the city gates, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Brother Xin, isn't there something going on in the Qin Mansion?"

A doorman stepped forward to ask. How do you know that the doorman's eyes widened, and he lowered his voice and said: "Don't talk nonsense, be careful of being heard...... The Qin family's affairs, no matter how small they are, are big things. It's not our turn to intervene, and if we are optimistic about the city gate, we should not know anything. ”

This uncle is a native of Langzhong. His name is Ji Xin.

He has been a doorman in Langzhong for ten years, and he knows the energy of the Qin Mansion in Bashu. Seeing that the messenger was gone, Ji Xin couldn't help frowning.

After so many years on an errand, I have never seen the people of Qinfu like today.

Some time ago, the Qing elder went to Xianyang to give an edict. The messenger came from Xianyang again. Could it be that something happened to Qing Lao? This thought flashed in his mind, and Ji Xin hurriedly shook his head: Don't think nonsense, when the old man is good, what can happen?

However, in this heart, I unconsciously have one more thought.

Langzhong Qinfu is located in the northwest of Langzhong. On the banks of the Jialing River.

In a large mansion, the houses are like clouds, covering a vast area. Entered the Langzhong City Gate and went straight down the avenue. At the end is the gate of the Qin Mansion.

The black plaque is hung on the door, and the golden characters of the two large seals of the Qin Mansion are written on it, which are particularly eye-catching in the sun.

The owner of this mansion is Qin Qingdi's third son, and he is also the county lieutenant of Langzhong County, Qin Meng, who was personally named by the imperial court. Qin Qing had four sons. The eldest son died early, and the second son helped Qin Qing run a business in Jiangzhou; The fourth son is now a county magistrate in Chengdu County, Shu County, and he is knowledgeable, but he is a nerd. The only one who makes a difference in officialdom. I'm afraid it's this Qin Meng who lives in Langzhong City.

Qin Meng has been good at martial arts since he was a child, and he has practiced good martial arts.

A rod of copper, so that the water can not be splashed, there is the courage of ten thousand people to stop, known as the lion of the Qin family. Even the First Emperor held him in high esteem.

This Qin Meng had read books for two years and read some art of war, so he was quite interested in the military formation.

Qin Qing also saw that he had such a preference, so he recommended it to the First Emperor. Originally, Qin Qing hoped that Qin Meng could enter the Lantian camp, but he never thought that this guy would only stay for half a year, and he would not stay anymore. So, the first emperor arranged him in Langzhong County.

The official is not big, but after all, he is in charge of a county.

Plus the Qin family's energy in Xianyang. There is also Qin Qing's prestige in Bashu. Stay safe for a few years, mixed with enough qualifications. to move up one level. According to Qin Qing's thoughts, he hoped that Qin Meng would be very satisfied if he could become the lieutenant of Bajun when he was forty years old.

Qin Meng, who was Chinese New Year's Eve seven years old, was entertaining guests in the mansion at this time.

They say they are guests, but they are not actually guests. Because what he entertained was his second brother Qin Tong. A few days ago, after Qin Tong finished dealing with the affairs of Daba Mountain, he came to Langzhong as a guest. To be honest, there is nothing to do at home, as long as you rush back to Jiangzhou before worshipping your ancestors. There is still more than half a month to worship the ancestors, and the time to rush to Jiangzhou from Langzhong is more than enough.

Qin Tong was forty years old and looked like a high-roller.

At first glance, there is a clear Ba ancestry. He is more than seven feet tall, and he is short and stout. Yasai has a beard like a steel needle, his head is slightly yellow, and his eye sockets are a little sunken. When he spoke, his voice was loud, which made people suddenly feel an inexplicable good feeling.

Qin Meng also respects this second brother very much.

The two brothers were pushing cups and changing lamps in the hall, when they heard footsteps outside the door, a housekeeper hurriedly ran to the hall, and after whispering a few words in Qin Meng's ear, he saw Qin Meng's face suddenly turn pale, and grabbed the collar of the housekeeper's clothes.

"You...... Is it true? ”

"It's true!" The butler whispered, "The messenger passed out outside the house, but before he fell unconscious, he told the villain about it. ”

"Third child, what's wrong? How does this look like? ”

Qin Tong on the side, looking at Qin Meng's appearance, couldn't help but ask curiously. That Qin Meng pushed away the housekeeper, stood up and walked to Qin Tong's side, and whispered two words in his ear. Qin Tong's body trembled, his face became pale, and he sat silent for a long time.

"Second brother, what should I do?"

Qin Tong ignored Qin Meng, and after pondering for a while, he suddenly asked, "Who was there when the messenger spoke?" ”

"Only one old slave!"

The butler didn't hear any clues, and answered honestly. Unexpectedly, a cold light flashed in Qin Tong's eyes, and he stood up.

"The third child, prepare the car...... I'm going to leave immediately and head to Jiangzhou! Qin Meng couldn't help but glance at Qin Tong suspiciously, nodded, turned around and ordered the housekeeper to go down and prepare the car. After the housekeeper left, Qin Meng asked, "Second brother, there is such a big thing, why don't you go to greet ...... At least you should wait here, and what will you do when you go back to Jiangzhou? ”

"The third. Do you listen to me? ”

"What did my brother say this...... You are my brother, and now ...... If I don't listen to you, who can I listen to? ”

"Then listen, no matter what, you have to detain that messenger for me, at least until you worship your ancestors, and you can't let him appear in Jiangzhou. That guy just now. It's best to ...... as well I need time. It is estimated that it is impossible for Xianyang to send it over so quickly, so you must block this news.

In addition, immediately send someone to Xianyang with heavy money.

Didn't I ask you to try to have a relationship with Yan Le, the son-in-law of Zhao Gao, the commander of the CRRC Mansion? Over the years, you've probably invested enough. Now is the time when he needs to help. You ask Yan Le to lobby Zhao Gao to come forward...... That Zhao Gao is very much loved by His Majesty and can speak. If he can help me do this, I will give it to me. Anyway, this time we're going to catch that girl off guard. ”

Qin Meng nodded lightly. But the frown was tightly locked, but it did not stretch out.

He looked at Qin Tong, his mouth opened, as if he wanted to say something.

"The third. What do you want to say? "Qin Zhi is rough and arrogant on the outside, but he is extremely delicate on the inside, and he immediately shows that Qin Meng is unusual." Brother, the girl is still young, and she treats us well on weekdays......"

Qinmeng period Ai Ai.

Before he finished speaking, Qin Tong already understood the meaning of his words, and couldn't help but smile slightly, hugging Qin Meng's shoulder, "Third child." Where do you want to go? Anyway, Man'er is also my niece, and we are family. She was still young and didn't understand many things. If only the mother could...... But now, she is not enough to control this big family business. I just don't want to be our Qin family. It decayed.

Don't worry, when Man'er is older, I will naturally return the power to her.

But what my mother said, I'm afraid I can't let her temperament......

I'll take care of it, and I'll take care of me. What you have to do now is to keep the message blocked and not leaked. ”

Qin Meng promised to come down!

By this time, the butler had prepared the carriage.

Qin Tong glanced at Qin Meng and patted him on the shoulder. Strode out.

"You stay. I have something to tell you! ”

Qin Meng did not send it off, but took the housekeeper and transferred inside. In a remote corner of the backyard. Qin Meng stopped.

"Lao Ba, are you sure that no one knows about this matter except you?"

The housekeeper nodded again and again, "Third master, the villain can guarantee it." At that time, there was a mess at the entrance of the house, and the voice of the messenger was very small, and I only heard it clearly after leaning over. No one heard it except the villain. When I heard this, I sent for the messenger to be sent to the wing, and let people keep an eye on him, and no one could have come into contact with him without the master's order. ”

After speaking, the housekeeper smiled smirkedly, "Third master, is the villain doing well?" ”

"Very good, very good!"

Qin Meng smiled, "Let's go down and receive the reward......

The butler answered, turned and was about to leave. Suddenly, I heard a soft sound behind me, followed by a pain in my heart, and the strength of my whole body seemed to disappear in an instant, and I didn't even have the strength to lift my feet. When he lowered his head, he saw a blade of the sword revealing from his chest.

He opened his mouth wide and turned his head to look hard, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

It seems to be asking: Third master, why is this?

At this time, Qin Meng did not have a smile on his face. Holding a bronze sword in his hand, he said calmly: "Lao Ba, the second brother wants to achieve great things, so he has to wronged you." But don't worry, your wife, I will raise her, don't worry about it. ”

As he spoke, Qin Meng pulled out his sword and coldly watched the butler fall in a pool of blood.

Second brother, I've already done what I need to do for you...... Next, it's up to you to convince the old stuff to come forward and support you!

Mother, it's not that I don't listen to you.

It's just that I take care of this big family business to Man'er, not only am I not at ease, but I think many people in the Qin family are unlikely to be willing.

Man'er, it's not you after all!

For the sake of my Qin family's future, please forgive the child for making a self-assertion this time!

Qin Meng's eyes suddenly flashed with tears. He stood quietly in the distance, raised his head and looked up at the sky, and after a long time, he sighed faintly!
