Qin Huaiyuan listened to the emperor's words, and the little blood that remained in his heart was cold for a moment.

This is the emperor he has been loyal to all his life.

Incompetent, mediocre, cowardly, selfish, and does not treat his courtiers as human beings at all. He, Qin Huaiyuan, is really lucky, he can assist such an emperor, and he has been on him for half his life.

Qin Huaiyuan was sad for a while, even if the man didn't flick his tears, his eyes were hot for a moment, and he lowered his head in embarrassment.

The emperor looked at Qin Huaiyuan's expression, and felt a little unbearable and guilty in his heart.

But after thinking about it, if Qin Huaiyuan refused to do what he ordered, angered Da Zhou and accelerated the pace of Da Zhou's attack, what would his plan do?

Thinking of this, the emperor relented, put aside his guilt, and said in a deep voice: "What, Qin Meng, do you still want to resist the decree?" ”

Qin Huaiyuan settled his mind and said, "The minister doesn't dare, the emperor orders, and the minister should obey his orders." ”

"That's right." The emperor's face softened slightly, and he said, "In this case, you can go back, tomorrow is the day of the funeral, right?" ”

"Yes." Qin Huaiyuan lowered his head.

"Hmm. Thou shalt mourn, and thou shalt be nourished, and I will still count on thee to be faithful to thy kingdom in the future. The emperor smiled heartily and patted Qin Huaiyuan on the shoulder.

Qin Huaiyuan was flattered and thanked Lian Lian.

The emperor was very satisfied with Qin Huaiyuan's performance, and comforted him a few more words before sending him away.

When Qin Huaiyuan returned home, Qin Yining, the second master, the third master, Qin Yu and Qin Han had already been waiting in the study for a long time.

Seeing his expression when he entered the door, Qin Yining said, "The emperor is really as we expected?" ”

Qin Huaiyuan nodded.

Qin Yining leaned on the armrest of the circle chair and closed his eyes, and was speechless for a long time.

The third master sneered, "If that's the case, then we don't have to worry about what we're going to do." ”

The third master is not an official, and his feelings for the emperor are naturally different from those of the two elder brothers.

At this time, only the second master could most deeply understand Qin Huaiyuan's mood.

The second master patted Qin Huaiyuan's arm and said, "Fortunately, Sister Yi'er has a trick up his sleeve." It doesn't matter if Ling Chi succeeds or not, anyway, the news has already spread. ”

Qin Huaiyuan wiped his face with a wry smile, "I know, it's just my heart...... Maybe I'm not a loyal servant at all. ”

"Why should my father force himself to be a saint?" Qin Yining explained, "We are just mortals, and what we can do is what mortals can do." ”

"yes, big brother." The third master also advised, "The eldest brother has a clear conscience, this is enough."

Qin Huaiyuan nodded, barely squeezing out a smile. Looking at his daughter, whose face was pale and still holding on, his heart that had been firm was even more determined this time.

Sister Yi is right, why should he ask himself to be a saint? It's enough to be a good mortal.

The funeral of the Qin family caused a sensation in the whole city.

Such a tragic annihilation, such a vast funeral procession, it is impossible not to make a sensation.

The old lady is very old, and Qin Huaiyuan still has serious things to do, so he left all the female dependents and children at home and did not let them follow.

Qin Huaiyuan, the second master, the third master, the eldest uncle Qin Yu, the second master Qin Han, the fifth master Qin Xian and Qin Yining, with a funeral procession of more than 30 coffins, rushed to Cuiyun Mountain on the outskirts of Beijing.

Originally, the ancestral tomb of the Qin family was not here. But now that the army is besieging the city, it is impossible for them to leave Kyoto, so they have to choose a mountain on the outskirts of the city, bury the masters and subordinates who were killed this time, and have the opportunity to move the grave in the future.

There were bumps and bumps along the way, Qin Yining was very dizzy leaning in the carriage, but fortunately, Jiyun also brought some sweet and sour dried begonia fruits, and Qin Yining ate one to suppress the feeling of nausea and pre-vomiting when he was sick.

Qin Huaiyuan was worried that something would happen to Qin Yining, so he rode in the same carriage with Qin Yining, and when he saw this, he sighed: "Your body has lost too much this time, you are young and fashionable, if you are old, don't you want to fall ill?" When this happens, you must listen to Miss Tang's words more and recuperate more. ”

Qin Yining smiled, his cheeks puffed out with a begonia fruit, and he looked very cute.

"Father, don't worry. The daughter's life was exchanged for the lives of others, if she didn't cherish it, where would she be worthy of the dead. ”

"Alas!" Qin Huaiyuan sighed and touched Qin Yining's head.

He knew that this incident had dealt a big blow to Qin Yining, and the young girl had witnessed such a tragic situation with her own eyes, how many of them could be indifferent? Not to mention others, just look at the surviving Eighth Miss and Qin Huining, the third young lady who has already left the cabinet and has not experienced this incident, and she trembled with bluff when she heard about it. Qin Yining can still stabilize his mind and think of countermeasures to take revenge, which is really admirable.

"Master Hou."

Outside the carriage, Qitai rode a horse close and whispered back: "I just came to deliver a letter, the emperor named King Ning as the generalissimo of the 350,000 army of soldiers and horses, in charge of the handsome seal and tiger talisman, and has the right to act cheaply, and the deployment of the army does not have to go through the emperor, and the full power is handed over to King Ning." ”

"Got it." Qin Huaiyuan's face was very calm.

Qin Yining was very surprised.

The emperor was willing to give King Ning so much power? But if you think about it carefully, King Ning is the marshal, and their chances of victory can be greater. At least King Ning is a person who is very good at leading troops to fight.

It's just that why the emperor agreed to allow King Ning to lead the troops, she was a little confused.

Could it be related to King Ning's initiative to reconcile with the Cao family that day?

If this is the case, then there is nothing to worry about, at least the military power is in the hands of King Ning, and the space for activity is larger, which is much better than letting Cao Guozhang be the marshal.

There were no words all the way, and soon they arrived at Cuiyun Mountain.

The procession slowly stopped, and when it was not suitable for the carriage to travel, there were strong men carrying more than 30 coffins to the mountain. The guards and others who had been arranged in advance trapped the three assassins and led them all the way up the mountain.

In the mountains and forests, a black-clothed masked man saw a group of people going up the mountain with his own eyes, and found Qin Yining in a sedan chair in the crowd.

"Boss, I'm watching, the group is here, and the girl is there!"

The man known as the boss was drinking water and eating dry food, and when he heard this, he snorted and said, "I know, let these people be proud first, and let's wait for the news from the fifth child." ”

"It's really fucking unlucky, we should have rushed up that day, but we were stopped out of the Anping Marquis Mansion by a group of rabble, I feel like a nest when I think about it."

When the people around heard this, they all looked indignant. Later, they were frightened by the shouting and shouting of killing, and when they ran out, they found that there were few people in that group of people who were good at martial arts, and if they wanted to kill the Qin family in the hands of that group of people, it would not be bothersome at all.

They missed such a great opportunity!

There were hundreds of people who came out to carry out the mission this time, divided into two groups to act, and the group besieging the palace had been taken, and there were only about thirty people left in their group.

If they can't do this, they won't be able to deal with it.

"Those three fools are too, seeing that they are strong in martial arts, they didn't even get rid of Qin Si with such a good opportunity."

"Yes, where did you think that the three of them would be captured alive, and now they are still embarrassed to be tied up the mountain to Ling Chi."
