As soon as Qin Mu's words fell, the hall was completely quiet for a while, King Qingyun's eyes widened, his face was incredible, and he quickly stood up, "Qin Mu, you ......"

King Qingyun can't figure it out, he really can't figure it out, although he doesn't have much contact with Qin Mu, but with only a few contacts, Qin Mu gives people the impression that he is extremely calm and smart, how can he be confused at this time. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

King Qingyun was extremely anxious.

Emperor Xia also frowned and looked at Qin Mu, the answer given by Qin Mu was something that Emperor Xia himself did not expect, and there was a trace of majesty in his eyes, which made Qin Mu feel a trace of pressure for no reason.

"Really won't you change?" asked Emperor Xia in a deep voice.

It is also to give Qin Mu one last chance.

In fact, helping Qin Mu change a territory also has to pay a lot of price for Emperor Xia.

Although this dynasty seems to respect him as the emperor, it can't cover the sky with one hand.

For Qin Mu, his information has long been placed in front of Emperor Xia, so although it is only the first time they have met, Emperor Xia has long known Qin Mu well, so he has the intention of cultivating Qin Mu, but looking at the current situation, Qin Mu is unwilling to accept it.

This is a great opportunity in the eyes of others, and Emperor Xia didn't expect that someone would really refuse.

At this time, Emperor Xia thought that Qin Mu just wanted to retreat and strive for more benefits.

If this is really the case, although the other party is the son of his own sister, this throne cannot be passed on to him.

Such careful thinking can only show that Qin Mu's pattern is too petty and not domineering enough!

"Qin Mu, think about it before answering!" King Qingyun couldn't care about Emperor Xia's stop at this time, and opened his mouth to remind.

Emperor Xia thought of it, and King Qingyun came back to his senses, so he naturally thought of it too.

The two looked at Qin Mu again, and the atmosphere in the hall was a little solemn.

"Thank you, uncle, I thought about it, don't change it!" Qin Mu said without a trace of hesitation, the speed of his answer, and the firmness of his tone made the thoughts in the hearts of Emperor Xia and King Qingyun a little shaken, didn't he adopt a strategy, did he really think so?

The two looked at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

Can anyone really resist such a temptation?

What Qin Mu said is true?

Emperor Xia hesitated for a moment and asked, "Can you tell me what the reason is?"

Qin Mu said with a smile: "Because I promised a person to go to the sea area." "

"It would be more convenient if there was a territory there. "

Qin Mu himself never thought about what he wanted to get from the territory, so for him, it didn't matter where the territory was, Qin Mu didn't have the slightest interest in occupying territory.

Qin Mu's indifferent attitude made the hearts of Emperor Xia and King Qingyun suddenly shake.

The power that everyone longed for, the wealth that seemed to be important in Qin Mu's eyes, was not as important as a promise.

To be honest, Emperor Xia and King Qingyun asked themselves, in terms of the choice of the crown prince and a promise, they couldn't do Qin Mu's attitude.

For Qin Mu, the two elders had a trace of admiration for the first time.

Emperor Xia looked at Qin Mu and said with a smile: "Okay, Qin Mu, since you don't want to change it, you won't change it, I hope you won't regret it in the future." "

A pure heart is commendable!

"Thank you, uncle!" Qin Mu said.

"Okay, go back and rest early, I have chosen a mansion for you in this imperial city, this can't be refused!" said Emperor Xia with a wave of his hand.

"Thank you, uncle!" Qin Mu said with a smile.

When Gonggong Wu sent Qin Mu away, he could still vaguely hear the hearty laughter of Emperor Xia in the study, obviously seeing Qin Mu's side, Emperor Xia was even happier, the royal family was deceitful, even if it was father and son and brothers, there were not many true feelings in it, Qin Mu's choice now, although he was farther away from that position, but it made Emperor Xia like it even more.

Gonggong Wu is naturally more concerned about Qin Mu.

Outside the palace, an incomparably luxurious carriage was parked there, and the two snow unicorns pulling the carriage were the royal horses of the royal family, which were given to Qin Mu by Emperor Xia.

"Master Hou, it's inconvenient for the villain to go out of the palace to send it here, the villain in the Hou Ye's mansion has been cleaned up, Master Hou, please rest assured. Gonggong Wu watched Qin Mu get into the carriage and said with a smile.

"Thank you, Grandpa Wu. Qin Mu naturally said with a smile.

The carriage drove slowly, and the groom asked, "My lord, shall we go back to our house now, or should we go to the outer city for a walk?"

At night, the Imperial City is extremely quiet, in stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of the outer city.

Qin Mu opened the curtain of the carriage and looked, and a little snowflake suddenly fell from the sky.

Looking at the falling snowflakes, Qin Mu was stunned, he had been in the Flame Mountain for a long time, he hadn't seen snow for a long time, the silent streets, the sound of wheels rolling, the snowflakes falling in the sky, and the whole world was silent.

Qin Mu's mood was a little more melancholy for no reason, "Go back to the house directly." "

"Yes, sir. The groom agreed, turned around, and headed off into the distance.

Sitting in the carriage was a little boring, Qin Mu simply walked out directly and sat side by side with the groom.

The groom saw Qin Mu sitting beside him and feasted, "My lord, this, this ......"

The groom was frightened and incoherent.

"It's okay, it's too boring in there, I'll come out and see the snow. Qin Mu said with a smile.

"My lord, it's cold outside, so you might as well sit back. Qin Mu sat aside, making the groom a little nervous and uncomfortable, after driving for so many years, this was the first time he had sat with such a distinguished person.

The groom who can become this snow unicorn also has strong requirements for his strength, how can anyone drive a god horse like the snow unicorn, not only that, but at the critical moment, the groom is also a bodyguard.

Seeing the horseman's nervous appearance, Qin Mu thought about it and took out a pot of fine wine, which was still brought over from the Flame Mountain, and what Qin Mu could carry with him was obviously not an ordinary product, as soon as the lid of the pot was opened, the rich aroma of wine floated out.

Taking out two cups, Qin Mu poured one cup and handed one of them to the groom, "Come, have a drink with me." "

"This, the villain can't afford to drink this wine!" The groom smelled the wine, swallowed his saliva, and knew that this wine was extraordinary, and he was a little restrained.

"What, it's just a jug of wine. Qin Mu simply stuffed a pot into the other party's hand, and took out another pot himself.

"On this cold day, drink some wine to get rid of the cold. "

"Thank you, sir. "

Qin Mu and the groom touched a cup and drank it all.

The groom had an intoxicated expression on his face, "This is the first time I've ever drunk such a good wine." "

The horseman looked at Qin Mu and said, "I haven't congratulated you on your canonization as the Marquis of Zhencang." "

Qin Mu smiled bitterly, "Thank you, this Hou Ye is not so easy to be." "

Just now canonized as the Marquis of Zhencang, trouble will ensue, if it weren't for his mother, this Laoshizi Marquis of Zhencang, Qin Mu really has no interest, and in his opinion, this Marquis of Zhencang makes him feel a sense of restraint.

Therefore, Qin Mu finally chose such a fief, after all, choosing a fief in the territory of King Cang would only be more involved in the power struggle of this huge empire.

"Hou Ye was young, he killed the python beast, and he is a great hero of my empire. "

"It's just luck, I'm not as strong as you now, how can I kill a king-level beast!"

The strength of the groom, he also said, the eightfold spirit gathering realm, this also shows that Emperor Xia attaches great importance to Qin Mu, and let a person from the eightfold spirit gathering realm come to be a horseman for him.

Killing the Python Beast King, Qin Mu has always felt that it was luck, at that time, there was a slight difference, and they couldn't survive a boatload of people.

The power of the Fierce Beast King, Qin Mu still has a feeling of fear when he thinks about it now.

After listening to Qin Mu's words, Ma Fu sighed and said, "My strength is like this in this life, but the future of adults is unpredictable." "

Ma Fu said enviously, he is already eighty-three this year, and it is almost impossible to go further in strength.

"But my son will definitely be better than me in the future. Speaking of his own child, the groom said proudly, clearly proud of his son.

"My son is fourteen years old this year, and he is already the strength of the Tuomai Realm, and he is expected to break through the Ning Dan Realm before the age of fifty!"

Qin Mu himself didn't have any shelf, and slowly the groom also relaxed, and the two chatted all the way, basically the groom said it, Qin Mu was listening.

The snow grew heavier and heavier, and soon a thick layer had accumulated on the ground.

After walking for more than half an hour, I finally saw a vermilion gate in front of me, and on the plaque of the gate, there were four big characters shining with golden light, "Zhencang Marquis Mansion"

At this moment, Ma Fu's face changed in vain, blocking in front of Qin Mu, and his whole body burst out violently, "Who is there, come out for me!"

There is a big lake not far from the "Zhencanghou Mansion", in summer, the lotus flowers are in full bloom here, it is very beautiful, but now it is winter, it has just snowed again, and now the big lake is a white expanse.

In the faint light, there seemed to be a dark shadow standing by the lake, which had not moved for a long time.

Hearing the shouting, the black shadow slowly turned around, and a hoarse voice sounded, "It's me!"

Listening to the voice, Qin Mu was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect this person to be the Eighth Prince!

The black shadow slowly walked over, and this time Qin Mu was even more confirmed, the person who came was the Eighth Prince!

"Eighth Prince, why are you here?"

Qin Mu patted the groom's shoulder and walked over.

Hearing that it was the Eighth Prince, the horseman's momentum was retracted, and he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "I've seen the Eighth Prince, the villain has just been offended." "

The eighth prince didn't pay attention to the groom, but looked at Qin Mu and said, "Can you come over and have a chat?"

Qin Mu looked at the Eighth Prince, the Eighth Prince at this time was very different from him, his face was as heavy as water, there was not the slightest smile, and the momentum of his body was also a little compelling.

Qin Mu frowned and thought for a while, nodded, and said to the horseman: "You go back to the house first, I'll go back later." "

The groom nodded, and drove the carriage into the "Zhencanghou Mansion".

The sound of the carriage gradually disappeared, and Qin Mu and the others stood by the lake, speechless for a long time.

Today's Eighth Prince is too different from him in the past, Qin Mu has always felt that the Eighth Prince is not simple, and he is not as unenterprising as he seems on the surface.

The Eighth Prince at this moment is even more to verify what Qin Mu thinks.

However, Qin Mu didn't know what the other party was looking for him, and when he saw that the Eighth Prince didn't speak for a long time, he stood there quietly.

"When I was a child, I was frail and sickly, and I envied my eldest brother and second brother, at that time, they were already very strong, they could tear tigers and leopards alive, they were very good to me, and they often played with me, and my father liked the strong prince very much, so I was not favored at that time. "

The eighth prince said suddenly, and he didn't know if he was saying it to Qin Mu or to himself.

"Maybe I couldn't exercise because I was not in good health at that time, so I read a lot of books, and I was more precocious than my eldest brother and second brother. "

"Actually, I knew at that time that the royal family has no family affection, and for that position, the final result is very cruel. "

The Eighth Prince said very seriously.

"Brothers turn against each other and kill each other, this is an end that can hardly be escaped. "

"Actually, since I was a child, I had no intention of competing for that position, and I didn't want to see the end of my brother's opposite, I just wanted to be a free prince. "

Speaking of this, the Eighth Emperor smiled bitterly and raised three fingers at Qin Mu.

"But it didn't work, I've been assassinated three times this month!"

"Not only that, but for that position, my eldest brother has already come together with the Golden Crow clan. "

"The second brother is also eye-to-eyed with the people of the Heavenly Blessing Alliance. ”

"You can also see Xia Jianming's attitude towards me today, and he didn't take me seriously as a prince at all. "

The eyes of the eighth prince were shining, "Later, I understood that as a prince, I have my own responsibilities to fulfill, sitting in that position and leading this empire to become stronger and more prosperous is the responsibility, if any prince can't do it, he is not worthy of being a prince, let alone sitting in that position!"

"I always thought I didn't deserve to sit in that position, but if I was asked to take a few big brothers to sit in this position, the empire would be finished!"

The eighth prince was a little excited, "Colluding with foreign enemies, filling up private pockets, and mutilating the people!"

"This is what they are doing now, for the sake of this throne, they have done whatever it takes!"

"I'm not going to let them do this!"

The Eighth Prince looked at Qin Mu, "Qin Mu, although you and I have known each other for a short time, I believe in you and hope you can help me." "

The words of the eighth prince are already very clear, this is to recruit himself!

Qin Mu smiled bitterly, sure enough, there are many rights and wrongs in the royal family.

Qin Mu pondered for a moment and said, "Eighth Prince, do you know why I chose the territory in the sea area and the Cangmang Mountain Range?"

Looking at the Eighth Prince, Qin Mu was very sincere, "You and I have different ambitions. "

Although he could take the Eighth Prince as a friend, he couldn't do his best to help him sit in that position.

The Eighth Prince stared at Qin Mu for a while, and suddenly smiled, "Qin Mu, you are very sincere, I hope we can always be friends." "

Qin Mu smiled: "Of course!"

The Eighth Prince didn't say anything more and disappeared into the night.

Looking at the departing figure of the Eighth Prince, Qin Mu smiled bitterly, if his mother was the younger sister of Emperor Xia, then the Eighth Emperor was also his elder brother.

The two are actually in a competitive relationship, but Qin Mu has no desire for that position.

But if the Eighth Prince knew, he might not think so!

Qin Mu sighed, it was better for this imperial capital to leave as soon as possible.
