Chapter 21: Qin Shoutai's attitude
readx;
Qin Town, located in the north of Qindu Town, is the farthest from Xuanwu City among the four first-class towns and cities in the Xuanwu Domain. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The management clan in the town, whose surname is of course Qin, is a family that came out of Youwu Mansion during the First Great War.
Unlike the Qin and Du families, the current head of the Qin family is not a middle-aged man, but an old man over eighty years old, named Qin Shoutai, who is the fourth generation of the Qin family's history.
It must be known that the history of Qin Town is not comparable to that of Qin Du Town, which is a town and city established from the first human and barbarian war, with a history of more than two hundred years, and for the seventy-year lifespan of human beings, even those who are capable are only hovering around a hundred years, two hundred years and four generations of family heads, which shows the Qin family's control over their family.
In fact, when Qin Shoutai learned that a second-level town and city under his jurisdiction was going to challenge him, his first reaction was not anger, but amusement.
"It's just a second-level town, and they dare to challenge the first-level town, do they really think that they can turn the sky upside down?"
For five months since then, he has also turned a blind eye to Qin Duzhen, as if he had long ignored the existence of this challenger, and his contempt was self-evident.
However, this attitude was broken half a month ago.
It was a man who was less than thirty years old, just a young man for Qin Shoutai, but it was such a young man who finally made him pay attention to Qin Duzhen's challenge.
Of course, only a little bit of attention.
The appearance of the young man was very abrupt, and he suddenly revealed his figure in his study, a huge mansion, and no one except Qin Shoutai found his intrusion.
When Qin Shoutai was about to make a move on this uninvited guest, a token casually thrown by the young man made him freeze his body suddenly.
A black wood token engraved with a jackal-shaped pattern!
Qin Shoutai immediately shrunk, resisted the urge to make a move, calmed down and began to ask the young man's intentions.
"I'm here for the challenge of Qin Du Town next month!"
This made Qin Shoutai's eyes narrow, and he thought for a while before remembering that there was something like this: "I don't know what advice the jackal group has for this challenge?"
The young man walked to the window, turned his back to Qin Shoutai indifferently, and said slowly: "I heard that you are very unimpressed with this action of Qin Du Town, so this time I am not here to advise you, but to warn!"
Qin Shoutai's slightly pale eyebrows were raised, and a hint of hidden anger at the young man's tone flashed in the depths of his eyes.
"Please elaborate. ”
Glancing back at Qin Shoutai, the young man's gaze seemed to be looking at a winged pig beast: "Do you know the origin of Chang Mingqi, the mayor of Qindu Town?"
"Chang Mingqi?" Qin Shoutai's mind turned: "You mean that he was demoted from the Xuanwu Army to Qin Du?"
Laugh at!
With a disdainful sneer, the young man no longer looked at Qin Shoutai, but stared at the sky outside the window: "Chang Mingqi, at the age of thirty-three, he stepped into the high level of the minister, and at the age of thirty-nine, he broke through to the secretary level, and he is also a rare talent in the Xuanwu Army, how could such a figure be easily transferred to a second-level town and city by the upper echelons? His transfer is actually his own will!"
Qin Shoutai was stunned.
Xuanwu City and Qin Du Town, the status of the two seems to be the difference between heaven and earth, and in the face of such a big difference, this Chang Mingqi voluntarily chose Qin Du Town, which made him unable to figure it out.
"His relatives are in Qindu Town?"
The young man shook his head: "He is an orphan, and he has no marriage to this day, so he doesn't have any relatives." The reason for his voluntary transfer is unknown, but that is not the point of my warning ......"
After a pause, he slowly turned around, his eyes looking at Qin Shoutai deeply: "A genius from Xuanwu City, do you think he will have no remaining connections to know some news that the second-level towns and cities should not know?"
What should secondary towns not know?
After being the head of the family for more than 50 years, Qin Shoutai was naturally not stupid, and immediately woke up: "You mean, he knows about the next war?"
"Humph!"
Facing the young man's cold snort's response, Qin Shoutai frowned again: "But so what, no matter how Qin Du Town is, it is only a second-level town, and the strength under him will never be stronger than Qin Zhen, right?"
"Are you sure?"
The young man's cold question made Qin Shoutai choke suddenly.
Seeing that he didn't speak, the young man said: "Since the Great Emperor promulgated the Challenge Law, there have been no less than dozens of families who have been upgraded with this, why do you think that your Qin family is not the next family to be demoted? To be honest, your arrogance makes me incomprehensible!"
Qin Shoutai made no secret of the anger in his eyes.
He had nothing to do with the young man, but that didn't prevent him from expressing his displeasure.
But the young man didn't care about his anger: "You need to know one thing, once you fail this challenge, have you thought about the consequences?"
Consequences of failure......
Qin Shoutai really hadn't considered this point, but when the young man mentioned it at this time, a scene that made him feel terrifying suddenly flashed in his mind.
If Qin Duzhen's challenge is successful, the Qin family will be reduced to a second-level town and city family, and then in the upcoming third human and barbarian war, the family foundation that he has spent fifty years guarding will become a victim in this war and will eventually be destroyed.
He can't afford this consequence!
The young man continued to add fuel to the fire: "Chang Mingqi is a genius, so a genius must have his unknown grasp of doing things, five months have passed, and your neglect of them makes you have no idea what hole cards he has mastered." I really don't know, now you, are you really sure that you can win a prepared Chang Mingqi?"
The throat seemed to have lost moisture in just a few words, making Qin Shoutai feel that his mouth was dry, and when he opened his mouth, what came out was a hoarse voice: "I don't know if the adults can advise the Qin family to get out of this big danger!"
It still refers to the word teaching, but with an additional honorific title, Qin Shoutai's attitude has taken a sharp turn of one hundred and eighty degrees.
Looking at the head of the Qin family, who had white hair and white eyebrows but still relied on the position of power and refused to move, there was an imperceptible contempt in the young man's eyes.
"It's not difficult to win this challenge, give me two places in the martial arts competition, plus your Qin family's elite are all out, under the suppression of strength, Chang Mingqi can't turn over even if he has the ability!"
"The quota for the Martial Arts Competition?" Qin Shoutai was taken aback: "My lord, you mean that you want to help the Qin family compete?"
"Why, can't you?"
Qin Shoutai was overjoyed: "Of course you can! I'll let the Si Ge Sai candidates vacate two ......."
"Did I say it was Gorse?"
The tone froze, and Qin Shoutai's expression froze on his face.
"The quota of the middle hou race, set aside two for me, I will let these two win all of them, if you can't get the victory in this way, then you can only say that everything is your fate!"
Qin Shoutai gritted his teeth, with a hint of hesitation.
He knew about the young man's background from the token, so when the young man showed his willingness to substitute for the match, he was full of joy to replace the candidate for the Sgosai, because he believed in the strength of the jackals.
But what the young man asked for was a place in the middle of the Housses!
A young man of about thirty years old, no matter how talented he is, is he really sure that he can deal with the old middle-level ability?
But after thinking about it, the challenge and the qualification correspond to the military rank, abandon the boat country and heavy weapons, and the review within the military system is extremely strict, so this young man opens his mouth to ask for a place in the middle marquis, doesn't it mean that he is already a middle marquis?
Thinking about the strange scene that no one in his house found when the young man appeared, Qin Shoutai was finally relieved.
"Since the adults are opening their mouths to help, then this Zhonghou Sai depends on the adults, but ......"
The young man frowned: "What?"
Qin Shoutai paused, with a puzzled expression on his face: "I don't know if your lord can tell me why the jackal group of the Right Martial Mansion is so concerned about the challenge of the first-level town and city?"
Two extremely sharp eyes pierced Qin Shoutai like thorns of light, but after all, he was an eighty-year-old man, and his face had already been cultivated to an extremely thick level, turning a blind eye to the young man's gaze, and still maintaining a puzzled and cute expression.
He couldn't help but think about this question.
The reason why I have confidence in the Jackal Group is because the background of the Jackal Group is the Youwu Mansion in the Second Mansion, and its power is like the difference between a giant and an ant compared to the Qin family.
But it is such a giant-like existence, but he pays more attention to him as an ant, and even puts forward the conditions for help, as he has been up and down for 80 years, he definitely doesn't believe that the other party is just out of a good heart!
After a while, the young man withdrew his gaze.
He snorted coldly: "This is not the attention of the jackals...... It's my private business!"
After speaking, the young man's figure suddenly disillusioned like a bubble, leaving a faint light and shadow, and disappeared completely in a breath.
"I'll come to you when the challenge starts!"
Qin Shoutai's eyes shrank, staring at the position where the young man had disappeared, his face was uncertain.
Personal?
What the hell does this guy want!?
......
The challenge of upgrading the town and city is a battle for the two families of the two towns, but for the people in the town, it is a rare event, which means that they can not only feast their eyes and see the demeanor of high-level abilities, but also in the next six months, there will be no shortage of chattering after dinner.
For the low-level people in the meat people's circle outside the town, this challenge also made them look forward to it.
Everyone knows that the challenge order issued by the Emperor of the Abandoned Boat, whether it is a military general competition or a sergeant competition, the two armies are facing each other with real swords and guns, and the casualties are by no means few, and this is the happiest point of the inferior people.
Once the Sergeant Tournament was over, with their familiarity with the burial ground, there were countless low-level people who began to salivate foul stench just by thinking about it.
No matter who wins the challenge, they'll finally have a full meal!
Therefore, when the 3,000 troops of Qin Du Town slowly drove towards the entrance of Qin Town, there was unexpectedly not a single low-level person in the meat circle who came out to beg for food, but all looked at the sergeant with warm eyes, and a few cheers came out from time to time.
"Heh, seeing them so excited, it's like we're the heroes of the town!" Du Tianwen walked side by side with Qiao Ximing's beast, with a smile on his face, nodding from time to time to those cheering inferior.
Qiao Ximing glanced at the situation of the meat circle, and there was a hint of a smiling expression on his face.
"In their eyes, we are meat on a plate!"
Du Tianwen's face froze, he looked at Qiao Ximing, and then at the eyes of the low-level people in the meat circle, the hairs on his body suddenly stood up, and he was terrified.
He no longer nodded to either side, but walked in silence.
In the middle of the night, the south entrance of Qin Town appeared in front of everyone.
