The arrival of Tuoba and Qiuyu further strengthened Su Qin's power in the northwest.

The three lines of defense have now begun to operate, but it will take time to truly become the defense line to defend the northwest, and it is still in its infancy, but Su Qin believes that it will not take long to take shape.

Although the northwest is located in a corner, compared with other places, both the economy and resources are relatively lacking, but because of this, Su Qin was given the opportunity, once Su Qin managed the northwest well, it could be regarded as having a basic plate to fight against other side systems in the future.

Regarding the northwest region, Tuoba and Qiuyu have actually learned in detail, except for the relatively strong strength of the mausoleum guards in Qinzhou, after all, the ancestral tombs of the Su Qin Ancestral Hall are here, and the economy of Qinzhou is also the strongest in the five northwest states, and Chang'an is also the fifth largest city in the Federation.

The other four states are relatively weak, followed by Longzhou, Ningzhou and Qingzhou, except for some manpower in the state capital, the other cities are almost negligible.

Finally, Xinzhou, which is almost a blank area for the Su family mausoleum guards, after all, Xinzhou is vast and sparsely populated and the ethnic composition is more complicated, and it has experienced a lot of things over the years, not to mention that the Su family mausoleum guards dare not meddle here, and other forces almost dare not interfere.

Then, Tuoba and Qiuyu will follow Su Qin's plan to first stabilize the power of the tomb keepers in Qinzhou, then further develop the power of Longzhou, Qingzhou, and Ningzhou, and finally intervene in Xinzhou.

After chatting about these things, Su Qin was relatively satisfied with Tuoba and Qiu Yu, and he said in a deep voice: "I will hand it over to you in the northwest in the future, I hope you will not let me down."

。 ”

"Young master, rest assured, we will go all out to live up to the trust." Tuoba said loudly.

Qiu Yu's eyes are like torches, even though he knows that he will encounter a lot of resistance, but he is still full of confidence in the future.

Su Qin got up and arranged: "Brother Chen, you take Tuoba and Qiu Yu to the training building to take a look, see if there is anything that needs to be renovated, and then find someone to transform it according to their requirements." ”

After deciding to use Qinling Manor as the temporary base camp of Tuoba and Qiuyu, Su Qin had already asked people to renovate the training building again, that is, some offices were transformed upstairs, and other supporting facilities were relatively complete.

After Su Qin came out of the lounge, he went to find Lin Xi, Aunt Zhou over there had already taken Lin Xi to visit, if this huge manor really had to be visited carefully, it was estimated that it would take an hour.

After seeing Lin Xi, Su Qin asked, "How is it, do you like it?" ”

This manor is about the same size as the Lin family's old house, but the style is different, and Lin Xi has been shocked.

She said thoughtfully: "Isn't it too big, there are no people in such a big manor on weekdays, isn't it too wasteful?" ”

"There's nothing wasteful, there will be other people living here for the time being, but they live in the training building next door, and we come to the main building occasionally, so if you are bored, you can also bring your roommates or classmates to play on the weekend." Su Qin said with a smile.

Lin Xi smiled lightly: "We don't expect to come a few times a year. ”

"We will live here for the time being, and when we graduate from college and leave Chang'an, there will be other uses here." Su Qin explained casually.

"Oh, that's good." Lin Xi said lightly.

In the evening, Sue

Qin and Lin Xi lived here, just when Tuoba and Qiu Yu came, Su Qin and Lin Xi invited them to dinner at the manor, Lin Xi had already seen Tuoba and Qiu Yu, and they were not so unfamiliar.

However, I didn't talk much during the meal, and I didn't drink much, so it was over quickly.

The next night, at the barbecue restaurant near Chang'an University, Su Qin took Xu Sitong, Chen Mingyuan, and Li Yang to eat, in addition to Xie An and Zhou Song, who will have a holiday tomorrow, so it will be a pre-holiday dinner.

Xu Sitong accompanied his parents to travel abroad, and Li Yang was ready to return to his hometown in the Northeast, but Chen Mingyuan did not go back, and was ready to practice well in the training base.

Su Qin felt a little biased from Chen Mingyuan, shouldn't such a gentleman with a simple family background eat, drink and have fun, why did he choose such a path?

However, since Chen Mingyuan chose so, Su Qin didn't say much.

Xie An, who came in at the end, said with a smile: "What day is today, Su Dashao invited us to eat and drink, it's rare." ”

"Su Dashao invited us to drink and eat, and you brought wine over, does this despise us Su Dashao?" Xu Sitong moved Xie An to a position and joked that they are now fox friends and dogs, and they will quarrel when they meet each other.

Xie An said casually: "A friend sent two bottles of red wine, I haven't had time to drink alone recently, so I brought them over for you to taste, enough friends." ”

Li Yang echoed: "Lao Xie is the best friend. ”

Xu Sitong called the waiter and said: "Order and order, I'm hungry, the summer is about to pass, the beer barbecue crayfish is going to be goodbye, I must have a good meal tonight." ”

Su Qin said at this time: "Wait a little longer, there is more."

A friend didn't come. ”

"And a friend, who?" Zhou Song asked curiously.

Su Qin didn't explain, took a sip of water and said, "It's coming soon, you'll know when you see you." ”

Su Qin said so mysteriously, everyone was somewhat looking forward to it, and they didn't know which friend it was, after all, Su Qin said that he wouldn't bring a girlfriend tonight, so there was no woman either.

The people who are close to Su Qin in the school are here, and Su Qin rarely interacts with other classmates in the class, at most they just meet and say hello.

As for the other faculties, I don't have any friends.

Just when everyone was puzzled, the last friend pushed the door and appeared.

When they saw this friend, Xu Sitong, Zhou Song, Chen Mingyuan, and Li Yang all widened their eyes, looking incredible, maybe they didn't expect him to come at all.

Xie An's comparison was not surprising, after all, he had already known the details of this friend.

Xu Sitong instantly stood up and shouted, "Zhao Jingshi." ”

Zhou Song also pointed at Zhao Jingshi and shouted: "Zhao Jingshi, what are you doing here, do you want to find fault?" ”

Zhao Jingshi didn't pay attention to Xu Sitong and Zhou Song at all, with some impatient expressions on his face, he didn't seem to take Xu Sitong and Zhou Song in his eyes at all, if Su Qin hadn't invited him to eat and drink, he might not have come at all.

The atmosphere was somewhat tense, and the others didn't know what was going on.

Su Qin got up and said, "Don't be nervous, this is the last friend I told you, Zhao Jingshi, you are all familiar with him." ”

"Jingshi, come here, sit here." Su Qin waved his hand for Zhao Jingshi to sit over.

Zhao Jingshi obediently walked over and was stunned when he saw Su Qin

He sneered, "Brother Su Qin." ”

After Zhao Jingshi saw Su Qin before, he was extremely arrogant, and he provoked Su Qin several times in a row.

This time Zhao Jingshi saw Su Qin, so well-behaved and respectful, which made Xu Sitong, Zhou Song and others a little puzzled.

What's going on?

Could it be that there is some unknown story between the two, and they have changed from rivals to friends, just like Zhou Song and Su Qin did before?

Xu Sitong asked directly: "Old Su, don't you explain what's going on?" ”

Zhou Song also said: "Brother Su, let's talk about it, what's going on, we are all in the dark, how can we drink this wine?" ”

Chen Mingyuan has come back to his senses here, no wonder Zhao Jingshi came to Brother Su alone two days ago, and estimated that their relationship at that time was not like before, so the words that Brother Su said when he returned to the dormitory, didn't this solve the mystery?

"Let's order first, and we'll talk while we eat." Su Qin deliberately sold Guan Zidao.

Then everyone called the waiter to start ordering, and when the waiter began to serve the food and wine, Su Qin explained with a smile: "Actually, it's nothing, Jingshi is my friend's younger brother, I didn't know this relationship before, I just feel that the name is a little familiar, because their family is from the scripture generation, and then his brother and sister called me to take care of him at school, and I only knew about it." ”

Su Qin explained so simply, naturally he would not really explain the cause and effect of the matter, which would make Zhao Jingshi somewhat faceless.

"I see, I'll just say how he went downstairs in the dormitory to find you last time, why don't you say it again, let's still be hostile to him."

Xu Sitong suddenly realized.

Zhou Song also said: "I really didn't expect it, it's actually my own person, I guess I don't even know about him, otherwise how could he continue to provoke you before?" If you hadn't been holding us back, we'd be ready to take on him. ”

Zhao Jingshi was a little unhappy when he heard this, and when he was about to refute, he subconsciously saw Su Qin's eyes, and immediately sat down obediently.

Su Qinfeng said lightly: "The previous things are over, and you will be friends in the future, and you can take care of each other in school." ”

"That's necessary, it's all my own people now, and I definitely won't target him anymore, your friend's brother is our brother." Xu Sitong said happily.

Su Qin glanced at Zhao Jingshi and said, "Jingshi, say hello to these seniors." ”

Although Zhao Jingshi was not happy, he still stood up and said: "Seniors, my name is Zhao Jingshi, I was ignorant and offended you before, I hope you adults don't remember villains, don't be like me, I will punish myself first for this glass of wine." ”

After speaking, Zhao Jingshi poured himself a glass of beer and drank it directly.

After Zhao Jingshi finished drinking, Xu Sitong, Zhou Song and the others smiled and said that everything was over, etc., as if they had already regarded him as their own.

Su Qin said lightly at this time: "Jingshi, everyone knows what you were like in school before, I may not have much time in school, and I will let them stare at you in the future, if you continue to fly like before in school, if they find out and tell me, don't blame me for not warning you." ”

Only then did Zhao Jingshi understand why Su Qin wanted to take him out to eat and drink today, it turned out that he wanted him

These friends will be staring at themselves in school in the future, they are really cunning.

Zhao Jingshi said with a smile: "Brother Su Qin, I have already said that it will be changed, you can rest assured, it will not be the same as before." ”

Su Qin didn't forget to tell the others: "Jingshi is young and ignorant, and when he first arrived at school, he was a little arrogant, his brothers and sisters asked me to take care of him, and in the future, he will dare to be like before in school, you will tell me." ”

"Lao Su, don't worry, we will help you keep an eye on it." Xu Sitong took the lead in saying.

Zhou Song patted Zhao Jingshi's arm and said: "Jingshi, you have to be well-behaved in the future, Brother Su will definitely not be merciful when he cleans up people, you ask them I have suffered in front of him before." ”

Zhao Jingshi could only say helplessly: "What the seniors said is that I will accept it with an open mind." ”

Zhao Jingshi is very clear about his current situation, and it seems that he should not think about it for four years in college, unless he is not studying at Chang'an University, so he will accept his fate.

"Let's eat, the barbecue is cold." Su Qin changed the subject.

Xie An picked up his glass and said, "Let's have a glass first, welcome Jingshi to join our small group." ”

Everyone said that they welcomed Jingshi to join, and a cup of cold beer quickly became delicious.

After drinking this glass of wine, the atmosphere became much more harmonious, and everyone else looked for Jingshi to touch the wine, which can be regarded as taking care of this newcomer.

Zhao Jingshi drank a good amount of alcohol, and soon returned the salute to everyone, and slowly his attitude became less stiff, and gradually integrated into everyone's atmosphere.

When drinking and chatting, Su Qin introduced Xie An to Zhao Jingshi and said: "Jingshi, let me introduce you, this is Xie An, you."

You can call him Brother Xie, your brother and sister have a good relationship with his brother, you can have more contact with him in Chang'an in the future, and the two of you should be able to play together. ”

Hearing Su Qin say that his brother and sister had a good relationship with Xie An's brother, Zhao Jingshi subconsciously asked, "Xie family?" ”

Su Qin nodded and said, "Well, so I introduced you to him." ”

Hearing that it was the Xie family, Zhao Jingshi was somewhat polite, and greeted with a smile: "Brother Xie." ”

"You should have a good relationship with Liu Peng, he is introducing you to join the elite club of our Qinzhou University Circle, if you are interested, you can come over and have a look, they are all like-minded friends, so that you will not be bored in Chang'an in the past few years." Xie An took the initiative to invite.

Liu Peng and Zhao Jingshi used to be in the same high school, and they can be regarded as familiar fox friends and dog friends, and he had previously stopped Liu Peng to say that the elite clubs in the Qinzhou University Circle are all rich second-generation officials with not simple family backgrounds.

It's just that Zhao Jingshi was not interested, and now that he heard that Xie An was also a member of this elite club, he was instantly more interested.

"I heard Liu Peng say, can I?" Zhao Jingshi said modestly.

Xie An smiled and said, "Liu Peng can join, why can't you?" Besides, you Brother Su is now the president of our elite club, and I am the vice president of the elite club, so you can join with just a nod. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Jingshi was also welcome, he had a headache and had no friends in Chang'an, so he couldn't mess around at school every day in the future.

So without hesitation, he said, "I'll join." ”

Xie An picked up his glass and said, "Okay, I'll take you through the membership procedures another day." ”

The two clinked glasses

Wine, drink it all.

Su Qin was relieved to hear that Zhao Jingshi joined, Zhao Jingshi currently has no friends in Chang'an, and in the future, he will be familiar with Xu Sitong and Zhou Song in the school to play with him, and in the future, Xie An and others will take care of him outside the school, so he will be more at ease.

In what kind of circle, what kind of person will slowly become.

Zhao Jingshi's circle has now been arranged by Su Qin, and Su Qin is still afraid that he will be led astray in Chang'an in the past few years?

Besides, these people can also help themselves keep an eye on him, even if he wants to get into trouble, he has no chance.

This is the reason why Su Qin brought Zhao Jingshi out tonight.

Friendship between men is largely due to alcohol, and many friendships begin with drinking.

So when he drank to the end, Zhao Jingshi also got temperamental, pulling others to drink non-stop, drinking too much and talking non-stop.

After all, he is just a child, how can he have so many city governments and scheming, most of the time he is just willful and impulsive.

In the end, Xu Sitong, Zhou Song and others helped him back to school.

At noon the next day, when Su Qin called Zhao Jingshi, he woke up, and Su Qin said in a low voice: "Awake?" ”

Zhao Jingshi had a headache and said, "Brother Su Qin, I didn't do anything stupid last night when I drank too much, right?" ”

Su Qin shook his head and said, "No, it's just that there are a lot of words, and in the end, Lao Xu and Zhou Song sent you back." ”

Zhao Jingshi was a little embarrassed and said, "Thank them for me." ”

"You're already friends, so you don't have to be so polite between friends." Su Qin said casually.

Zhao Jingshi yawned and said, "Brother Su Qin, do you have anything else, I'll continue to sleep if there's nothing to do, I have a headache and die." ”

“

You go back to sleep, and don't forget about the afternoon. Su Qin admonished.

After saying this, he hung up the phone.

Zhao Jingshi woke up suddenly, and then remembered that he had promised Su Qin to accompany him to Longzhou and Ningzhou today a few days ago, but he refused at the beginning of this long trip, and he wanted to go back to Shangjing for a few days, but now it is completely ruined.

Whoever asked Su Qin to tell his sister in advance, the family directly agreed.

He hadn't been to Longzhou and Ningzhou yet, in his heart, they were all remote and backward places, and he didn't know what Su Qin was taking him there for, wouldn't he be a coolie?

Anyway, there is no way to change it, and he can only bite the bullet.
