Chapter 9: Ancestors and Grandchildren
The Qin Mansion in Huyang City is by no means comparable to the Qin Mansion in Tongling Pass, even if it is just the momentum of this gate and the guards at the gate, it can make people fearful.
Qin Shaofu followed behind an old man with mottled hair, walked through the corridor, and walked towards the depths of King Qin's mansion.
Captain Moon Wolf followed behind, this guard was extremely competent, according to the rules, outsiders were not allowed to bring weapons when entering the palace. He unloaded the weapon, but instead of putting it at the door, he gave it to Qin Shaofu.
As the new young master of the Qin Palace, the owner of the Divine Martial Soul, naturally no one would dare to unload his weapon.
The old man in front of him introduced as he walked: "The old slave is the head of internal affairs of the Qin Palace, and he was given the surname by the prince, and his name is Qin Yuan. The little master has just come to the house, if there is any problem, you can find the old slave at any time. β
Little Master...... Qin Shaofu laughed dumbly in his heart, he had heard too many titles in his life, most of them were extremely insulting, and today he suddenly heard someone call himself with these three words, and he actually felt an inexplicable sense of ridicule.
Manager Qin briefly introduced some of the situation in the house, especially related to Qin Shaofu, and said in great detail.
To be able to do the position of the head of the Qin Palace, this person must also have a seven-trick exquisite heart, and he is the most observant of words and feelings.
Geng Cunzhong didn't say anything about the Tiger God General family, and from the perspective of official affairs, he also passed on Qin Shaofu's situation to Tianjing City and Huyang City for the first time.
Qin Yuan knew very well what it meant to be a disciple of the Divine Martial Soul, even if he was a criminal citizen, he would be reused, not to mention that Qin Shaofu was still the grandson of Qin Taiwei and the direct descendant of the Tiger Lie King.
There is no doubt that this little young master who has just escaped from Tongling Pass is by no means comparable to ordinary Qin family disciples.
Walking all the way to the palace, outside a gate, Chief Qin asked Captain Moon Wolf and Wei Guangxiong, who were following behind, to stop: "The prince said that he will see the little master first." β
Wei Guangxiong nodded hurriedly, stepped aside and stood aside.
Captain Moon Wolf shook his head and said, "I am ordered by General Geng to escort Qin Shaofu to the Tiger Lie King. No matter what happens in the middle, you must not leave him at a distance of three meters, and until you meet the Tiger Flame King, please forgive me for not being able to obey my orders. β
"You ......" Wei Guangxiong shook his head and said, "It's already at the Qin Palace, what else do you have to worry about." β
Chief Manager Qin smiled slightly: "The prince knows the military regulations of the moon wolf, so he has been prepared for a long time. β
took out another jade seal: "General Geng has always been cautious, there should still be documents on you." This is the jade seal of the prince, who never leaves his body on weekdays, and it is also your moon wolf who has this face. When I put a seal on your paperwork, I have seen him in person. β
It's not bad to deal with it like this, but Captain Nayue Wolf still shook his head: "My boss is General Geng and not King Hulie, military orders are like mountains, people are people, and seals are seals, so you can't generalize." Unless I die, I can't stay more than three meters away from Qin Shaofu. β
"You ......"
At this time, even Chief Qin was displeased. People say that the prime minister's seven-grade official in front of the door, he is the head of the palace, that is, there are second-grade and third-grade officials, and he is also polite to him, and today he was actually swept away by the other party like this, so he was naturally annoyed.
Just as he was about to say a few words, an old voice suddenly came from the courtyard: "Military demeanor, it should be like this." Qin Yuan, it's your blessing to see such a person, let him send Qin Shaofu in!"
The voice was old and majestic, and I don't know how far it came from, but it seemed to be right in my ears, and it was shocking. In the entire Qin Palace, there is only the legendary Tiger Lie King who meets this identity.
Manager Qin nodded hurriedly: "Please!"
Then he walked in with the two of them.
Although the source of the Tiger God General's Divine Martial Soul is the White Tiger, the Qin family has always respected black. More than seventy percent of the entire palace is black, which makes people have a solemn and solemn feeling, full of solemn and murderous atmosphere.
But when you get to this courtyard, it's completely different. This is a sea of bamboo, and the area is very large. Even though there are lanterns around you, you still feel like you can't see the edges.
Generally, there are often bamboos in the backyards of ordinary people's homes, but most of those are smaller Tang bamboos and cinnamon bamboos, and here they are all the same color bamboos, or special strains, which are tall and large, and are 30 meters long.
It's a little less quiet, but it's more fierce.
A stone path leads to the depths of the bamboo forest, and after walking along, you will see a bamboo house. Even if the night is not very detailed, you can see that this bamboo house is extremely chic.
There were no guards in front of the house, and Manager Qin led the two of them to push the door directly and walked in. Inside is a hall, five meters wide, ten meters deep, I don't know what mystery there is inside, in this wax moon, the bamboo house is actually warm.
The candles were lit all around, and in the middle of the hall, there was a Taishi chair, on which lay an old man with white hair and white beard, covered with a fluffy blanket.
The moment he walked in, Qin Shaofu's eyes fell on the old man, and the other party was also looking at him.
He is very old, but he cannot tell the exact age. The higher the martial artist's cultivation, the longer his lifespan. If you can break through the true soul and master the martial arts, it is not surprising that you will live to be two hundred years old. According to the generation, the Tiger Flame King should be more than one hundred and forty years old.
Being able to wipe out the three elder brothers eighty years ago and live in the Qin family, the cultivation of the Tiger Lie King is by no means comparable to ordinary people. However, at this time, the old man in front of him did not have the momentum of a strong man, but was like an ordinary old man, who had reached the moment of destiny, and could only lie here and survive.
"Jin Kai, the captain of the Moon Wolf Cavalry, see the Tiger Flame King!"
The captain of the moon wolf on the side half-knelt on the ground and gave a military salute.
"No need to be polite!" King Tiger Lie waved his hand: "Qin Yuan, help Captain Jin pass the paperwork, rest here for one night and then leave, you go and arrange it!"
"Yes, lord!"
Chief Manager Qin nodded, and then retreated with the Moon Wolf Captain.
When the door of the bamboo house closed, there were only two people left, and it was instantly quiet.
The Tiger Lie King lifted the blanket, sat up straight, and said slowly: "Sit casually, you have arrived at your own house, there are no outsiders here." β
"No outsiders?" Qin Shaofu smiled coldly: "If they hadn't taken me, I wouldn't have been able to find this...... No matter how you look at it, this doesn't seem to be my home. Besides, I really don't know you well. β
Before he came in, he thought about what he would do after seeing this only living ancestor of the Qin family. It seems to be the best choice to let the other party accept themselves, and then use the power of the Qin family to strengthen themselves after recognizing their ancestors and returning to their ancestors.
He also thought about forcing himself to pretend, but when he actually saw the old man, he found it difficult to contain the resentment in his heart. Not for yourself, only for your mother.
He didn't say anything, but the Tiger Lie King didn't seem to care, but smiled slightly: "It's okay if you're not familiar, you can get to know each other from now on!" I'm Qin Deyong, in terms of seniority, you have to call me my maternal great-grandfather." β
Qin Shaofu laughed and said: "Twenty years ago, I didn't know what mistake my mother made, you want to demote her to a criminal and send her to Tongling Pass." After more than ten years of life worse than death, she died with all kinds of gossip and countless vicious curses. β
"Among the enemies who killed my mother in my heart, there is definitely you and Qin Tianen. As an executioner, today you actually want me to call you great-grandfather. Am I too naΓ―ve, or are you old and confused? Or is it that Qin Tianen did it himself twenty years ago, and it has nothing to do with you, the Tiger Flame King?"
The Tiger Lie King shook his head: "I am the Tiger Lie King, and nothing in the Qin family has anything to do with me. Your grandfather...... Let's call him Qin Tianen, Qin Tianen has three sons and one daughter, more than fifty years ago, all three sons died on the battlefield, leaving only your mother and an only daughter. β
Qin Shaofu asked, "Do you want me to pity him?"
"No!" King Tiger Lie shook his head, "He is indeed worthy of pity, but what I will say is that if there is no special reason, it is impossible for a father who has suffered the pain of losing three sons in a row to send his only daughter to that place." As for the reason, you don't need to ask. Since we chose to hide it back then, we naturally won't say it today. β
"If you want to know the truth, find it yourself. As for the gossip that your mother endured, we are not to blame. It is a fact that children are born out of wedlock, even if they are not children of the royal family, ordinary people will regard it as a great shame. β
"The ancestral motto of the Qin family: Rather bend than bend. The children of the Qin family are all strong, no matter what they do, they will do it, and they will not make excuses to shirk. Degrading your mother to Tongling Pass, Qin Tianen and I are both responsible. But if you want to talk about these gossips that you say, you brought them. β
"Because of your existence, those gossips have become facts, and it is you who nailed her to the pillar of shame. So you should really thank your mother, who knew what the consequences would be, but still gave birth to you without hesitation. β
I am a disgrace to my mother...... Qin Shaofu clenched his fists, he wanted to refute, but he didn't know how to refute. Suddenly, he realized that he should put another person at the top of the list of hatreds: the man who didn't know what his father was.
"I know you hate the Qin family, rightfully so!"
The Tiger Flame King continued, "If it were me, I would hate it. But no matter how you deny it, you can't change the fact that you have the blood of our Qin family in your body. β
"To be honest, before I received the tip from Geng Cunzhong, I never thought that we would meet again in this life. For Qin Tianen, for me, for the Qin family, and even for yourself, dying in Tongling Pass may be a happy thing. β
Qin Shaofu said coldly: "That's you group of selfish and self-righteous people, I don't think so. β
"Maybe one day you'll understand what I mean by these words today, maybe...... I won't understand it for the rest of my life. The Tiger Lie King spread his hands: "But it doesn't matter, because all this is hypothetical, and the reality is that you have condensed the Divine Martial Soul." β
"In the Great Han Dynasty, with the Divine Martial Soul, you almost have the capital to do whatever you want. Others may still have to figure out what to do, but as long as you don't rebel and don't die like a waste in the ring and on the battlefield, you won't be guilty of death. β
"Really, that's really thanks to you people in power!" Qin Shaofu smiled: "By the way, Wei Guangxiong helped me a lot this time, you can call him in and reward something!"
King Hulie looked at him for a while, then smiled slightly, and said, "Pass Wei Guangxiong in!"
The sound was not loud, but it spread throughout half of the palace.
But after a while, I heard Wei Guangxiong asking for a meeting outside, and after getting permission, he walked in respectfully, knelt on the ground and bowed.
"Minister Wei Guangxiong pays a visit to the tiger...... Ahh
Before he finished speaking, there was a miserable scream, and Qin Shaofu on the side suddenly pulled out a knife and stabbed him in the back.
"Die, miscellaneous!"
Qin Shaofu roared, urging the shadow to be an elegy, and the sword turned into a cyclone, cutting Wei Guangxiong directly into pieces of meat.
