Qin Rong helped Qi Yu to stagger to the bank of the water. Chen An couldn't make up his mind to kill Qin Rong, and most of the palm power was naturally suffered by Qi Yusheng, so he was extremely injured, and he was already unconscious when he was dragged away by Qin Rong.

Although no one chased after him along the way, Qin Rong was really relieved when he arrived here.

At this time, the night was already thick, and there was a big ship moored on the dock in the distance, and the people on board saw the two people who had escaped, and hurriedly came down to answer them. After placing the two on the ship, they immediately lifted anchor and left the capital overnight.

In the cabin, Qi Yu was lying on the bed, a young man in a long shirt was sitting on the edge of the bed to check his injuries, another old man with white hair was standing aside, and there were Qingzhu and Qin Rong. Qin Rong supported his body and asked the young man in the long shirt who was sitting on the edge of the bed and looking after Qi Yu, "Min Erlang, how is Senior Brother Qi?"

Min Xingzhi frowned deeply and asked instead of answering: "How did you make this appearance?"

"We met the Ten Thousand Poisonous Ghost King, and it was I who harmed Senior Brother Qi. Qin Rong said in frustration: "Senior Brother Qi can still be saved?"

Min Xingzhi glanced at the old man beside him, and when he saw that the other party nodded, he said: "The situation is very bad, for the sake of today's plan, I can only use the strength of me and Qian Bo to expel the alien true qi in his body, and wait until he returns to the Shangqing Sword Sect, and then ask your master to rescue." ”

Qin Rong gritted his teeth, now that Senior Uncle Guo was not rescued, Senior Brother Qi was like this again, and a sense of frustration that he had never felt before hit his heart.

Min Xingzhi urged: "Without further ado, we will heal Brother Qi Shi's injuries now." ”

Qin Rong nodded and walked out with Qingzhu.

In the corridor, Qin Rong felt the sinister of the rivers and lakes for the first time, he had excellent qualifications since he was a child, and he came from the sect master's disciple, he was really angry at a young age, and he had never encountered such a defeat after going down the mountain, even if he couldn't beat it, he could still escape, and just now, if it wasn't for Chen An to take back the true intention in his palm, how could he and Senior Brother Qi be lucky. It was the first time that Qin Rong was so close to death, and his heart was shocked and difficult to calm down for a while.

Qingzhu followed him for a long time, seeing his depressed appearance, he felt uncomfortable in his heart, but he didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only smile and say: "Young Master, the Ten Thousand Poisonous Ghost King is one of the few masters in the world, and his ability to suppress the four great grandmasters, you can escape from him, which is enough to be proud." ”

It's better to be incomforted than to talk like this, Qin Rong felt even more sour in his heart, Qingzhu had never seen him, and he didn't know how young he was, Mu Qing kept saying that it was her younger brother, and he didn't even have the idea of putting himself on an old monster with good looks. The other party should have spared his life for the sake of Mu Qing's face, my Qin Rong's dignified seven-foot man actually has to rely on a woman's face to survive, which is sad and hateful.

Feeling his young master's mood getting lower and lower, Qingzhu also knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he had to keep his mouth shut, and there was silence in the corridor for a while.

After a long time, the door opened, and Min Xing walked out in a sweat, but Qian Bo didn't change much, but his face was gloomy and he didn't say a word.

Qin Rong hurriedly greeted him and asked, "How is it?"

Min Xingzhi opened his mouth and was about to answer, but Qian Bo preemptively said: "Qin Shaoxia, you encountered the Ten Thousand Poisonous Ghost King, how many tricks did the other party confess?"

Qin Rong's lips pursed, and he said bitterly: "Half a move." ”

"Half a move?" Min Xingzhi and Qian Bo were stunned, but fortunately, they were also from famous families, and they immediately understood that the grandmaster's tricks could only be regarded as half a trick if they did not have true intentions.

Min Xingzhi sighed: "The Ten Thousand Poisonous Ghost King is indeed worthy of his reputation, and the rumors of his ability to suppress the four great grandmasters should also be true, just now Qian Bo and I can only suppress the remnants of his true qi, and I want to expel ......" He shook his head and spit out a word: "Difficult." ”

Qing Zhu was dumbfounded, it was really hard to imagine the Grandmaster's methods, Qin Rong had expected it, but he was not too surprised, but he was still depressed. The faces of the four of them were covered with clouds, and they were speechless.

......

In the Holy Court, in Xu Qian's study, Chen An stood beside him.

Xu Qian sat behind the table, smiled at him, pointed to the chair in front of him and said, "Don't be so restrained, you are also in charge now, you can be on an equal footing with me, and you have to adapt to your identity." ”

Chen An sat down calmly without excuses.

The appreciation in Xu Qian's eyes was a little stronger, and he returned to the truth: "Did you dig out anything from the mouth of the Shangqing Sword Sect spy caught last time?"

"They are just here to instigate the voices of the DPRK and China to oppose the cutting of the feudal domain, and to do some useless struggles, in fact, now that the north and the south are fighting each other, it is meaningless to dwell on the topic of cutting the feudal domain. They should just be a delaying tactic for the King of Qin, delaying the pace of the imperial court's preparations for war. Chen An said his opinion.

Xu Qian nodded and affirmed: "Yes, these small actions that can't be put on the table are the most disgusting." ”

Chen An interjected at the right time: "We can also treat others the way they do." ”

"Oh?" Xu Qian looked at in surprise.

Chen An humbly bowed his head slightly, and continued in his mouth: "The blood division is divided into the top troops on the frontal battlefield, and the special team for surprise assassination, the former can follow His Majesty to recruit in person, and the latter can sneak into the enemy territory to kill wantonly and disturb the enemy's Qingning, and with a two-pronged approach, our army will win." ”

Xu Qian's eyes rolled and he smiled playfully: "Then how do you want to create chaos in the enemy realm and only rely on wanton killing?"

Chen An's eyelids jumped, and he felt like Xu Qian was seeing what he was thinking, but he still kept his tone unchanged and said: "The family sect is the foundation of a place, and only by destroying its foundation can it be uprooted." ”

Xu Qian stared at him straightly, and Chen An's face remained unchanged to meet him.

After a long time, Xu Qian sighed and said: "Then do you know that the family sect is not only the foundation of a place, but also the foundation of the country. People all over the world say that water can carry a boat and can capsize a boat, but it cannot give an accurate definition of water. In fact, the water here does not refer to the ordinary people, but to the elites of the family. What do the people know, give them a full bite to eat, and there will be no rebellion; but the elites of the family are different, they have the greatest resources but still want more, so greedy, the court has no way at all, can only give them more, what is the reason? It is not because the entire court is composed of the elite of the family. ”

Xu Qian paused for a moment and waited for Chen An to digest it before continuing: "You said that the family sect is the foundation of the same place, it is not wrong, it is not right, the family collusion is far beyond your imagination. Take Qin Pei, who was killed by you, for example, his human brother Qin Lang is not the same as a waiter in the Ministry of Workers, and his cousin Qin Yi is now the staff of King Qin. ”

Chen An muttered, "Can it still be like this?"

"Hmph, not putting eggs in one basket is a common trick used by the family, so the king of Qin is defeated, the Qin clan of Zhangzhou has a merit in protecting the court, and the court is defeated, and the Qin clan of Zhangzhou is even more meritorious from the dragon. This is the way of survival of the family, not only the Qin family in Zhangzhou, but also the whole world. ”

"What about the sect?" Chen An said tentatively.

"The sect is nothing but the armed forces supported by the family. Xu Qian carefully explained: "Take the Shangqing Sword Sect, the largest faction in the world, for example, he has gathered the strength of the major families in the north, and even has collusion with the Central Plains family. ”

"Thank you, my lord, for mentioning, it's that my subordinates' ideas are too simple. Chen An was humbly taught, but he was still a little unwilling in his heart.

Xu Qian seemed to see his unwillingness, and said with a slight smile: "Your proposal is not completely unbuilt, and it is feasible if you operate it carefully." ”

Chen An's eyes lit up, and he said urgently: "I want to hear about it." ”

"Rest easy. Xu Qian's old god said: "Under the rule of King Qin, many sects have the shadow of a family, of course, there are many sects that do not have the support of a family; So you just need to hand in a suitable list, and I think the emperor will agree with your idea. ”

He deliberately accentuated the tone of the word "suitable", Chen An immediately understood, his eyes were shining, and he bowed his hand and said: "The subordinates must live up to the high expectations of the adults, and in the next few days, when a suitable list is drawn up for the adults to see." ”

Xu Qian smiled, took out a secret letter from his sleeve and handed it to Chen An.

Chen An was surprised: "This is?"

Xu Qian said slowly: "Isn't your mind clear yet?"

"I ......" Chen An wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Xu Qian waving his hand: "You don't have to deny it, since the first day you took over the task, when have you had your own ideas and ideas, and when have you taken the initiative to share your worries with me? ”

Chen An's face turned red, but he heard Xu Qian say again: "You don't have to be like this, who will not carry some private goods when they are on a mission, as long as the general direction is correct, it is to serve the country and share worries for the Lord, it is not a mistake." Besides, when the emperor was in office, he was doomed, no matter how he flew, how could he fly out of the palm of the emperor's hand. And you are the executor. ”

Chen An thought that there seemed to be no conflict between his goals and those of the imperial court, but on the contrary, they were completely consistent in some places, so he was at ease and calmly accepted Xu Qian's kindness: "Thank you, sir." ”

Chen An got up and was about to leave, and he couldn't wait for Ren Zhongxu.

Xu Qian stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Stop, I haven't finished my words yet." ”

Chen An stood still, looking at him suspiciously.

Xu Qian's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "I know that you are good at martial arts, but be careful to make the Ten Thousand Year Ship, and you can't be careless in doing anything." In fact, the people who were set up back then were not only Ren Zhongxu, but also Song Shou, the master of the Ming Division, and Wei Lansheng, the ghost of the Dark Division. This time, it was these two people who fled the capital with Ren Zhongxu. They were sworn brothers during the period of the first emperor, and they were very affectionate. Do you understand what you're up against?"

"What kind of cultivation are they?" Chen An had already calmed down his excitement and asked calmly.

"Song Shou has been the master of the Ming Division for thirty-two years, which is longer than the time I have been in the Holy Court, and he has cultivated the Kunpeng Flying Heaven Diagram, and his art industry is not under me. Wei Lansheng has not made much achievements in martial arts, but he is proficient in traps and good at making firearms and hidden weapons, he is really a dangerous person, you must be careful. ”

Chen An knew that Xu Qian's cultivation was second to none among the grandmasters, even if his internal strength was not as good as his own, he was still ahead of him in martial arts, and even he said that he was a dangerous person, Chen An was naturally very vigilant. There is also Song Shou, this person has even heard of Chen An's name, that is an out-and-out veteran grandmaster, this kind of person can be seen by looking at Shang Wanshen, absolutely old and strong.

However, Chen An was not afraid, if he wanted to deter him from this scene, then he would also be in vain as the youngest grandmaster.

Chen An walked out of Xu Qian's study, unfolded the secret letter handed to him by Xu Qian, swept it up and down, and then held it in his palm and rubbed it into ashes.

There was a smile on his face that was incomprehensible, and he said in a voice that only he could hear: "Yunzhou Qinghe, Ren Zhongxu, wait for me." ”
