137 Chu's invitation
The next day, the sky was bright.
Qin Mo got up on time at six o'clock as usual, and after washing up, he went out of the house, facing the best sun, towards the security bureau.
He didn't care whether Li Tiangang woke up or not, the biological clock was exactly the same as before, and there was no change because of his appearance.
When he was on the way, Qin Mo had breakfast and walked into the office with a little stuck.
Then, he sat in a familiar position, first tidied up the desk in front of him, wiped it carefully with a wet tissue, and then took a thermos cup to pick up a cup of hot water.
After making these preparations before fishing, Qin Mo turned on his computer and logged on to the websites of major news media.
As soon as the website opened, several reports caught his attention.
These reds are all major events that happened in various parts of the Great Qin Empire, including a small earthquake that occurred in a certain county last night, and the discovery of high-value mineral veins in a certain county.
And the most news is about the tracking of border conflicts.
The war between Qin and Qi was in full swing, and the war on the border faintly had a tendency to intensify, so the heat lasted for a long time and became the most talked about after dinner.
Today's report, however, is slightly different.
In these large number of border reports, there is a news that is very unfavorable to the Xia family, and the general content is the stain of a core member of the Xia family in politics in recent years.
This report is like a drop of water in the ocean, it is easy to ignore without looking closely, and it seems that it is difficult to be noticed.
However, this drop of water is the first drop of water cast by the five families.
It takes a certain amount of time for public opinion to be guided, and it is necessary to give people sufficient time to react and to give public opinion enough time to ferment.
Qin Mo read this report carefully, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up with a surging smile.
"The millennium family deserves to be a millennium family, and the efficiency of this work is enough to get a glimpse of the leopard, which can be seen."
He said in a low voice, very satisfied with the strength of the five families.
Presumably, in the next period of time, Qin Mo will see a perfect battle of public opinion.
Thinking like this, he couldn't help but lean back in his seat, his hands crossed behind his head, and the smile on his lips grew stronger.
Bright sunlight poured into his face through the open floor-to-ceiling windows, revealing a slender shadow in the office.
Winter, winter, winter!
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Qin Mo turned his head and said, "Come in."
As soon as the words landed, the small door of the office was pushed open, and the tall Chu Tianjiao and the slender Li Yuan walked in one after the other.
After the two saw Qin Mo, they didn't say anything immediately, but chatted with him casually for a few minutes.
Then, Chu Tianjiao raised his eyebrows, and then slowly said what he meant today.
"Qin Mo, my father invited you to go to the Chu clan for dinner in the evening, do you have time tonight?"
"Huh? Chu Guogong personally invited ......"
Qin Mo muttered in a low voice, and at the same time, his super brain was running rapidly, and he began to analyze and speculate on what Chu Xiong's purpose was for holding today's dinner party based on the various information he had obtained in the past few days.
For Chu Xiong, his initial impression was still good.
On the one hand, this is because he has a good relationship with Chu Tianjiao, and he can be called Chu Xiong's uncle, and on the other hand, the Zhenbei Chu clan once spoke for him at the court council where he had asked for the title of champion marquis.
He is also the only one among the four major families other than the Qingyang Li family who agrees with Qin Mo being crowned the champion.
Therefore, under these conditions of prior favor, Qin Mo himself did not reject this dinner.
But there are some things that still need to be carefully considered.
"Is there anyone else at today's dinner?" Qin Mo asked.
Hearing this, Chu Tianjiao immediately shook his head and replied, "Father held a private family banquet today, and he didn't invite other outsiders."
"In that case, yes." Qin Mo agreed.
Seeing him nodding, Chu Tianjiao smiled, and then said, "Okay, I'll ventilate home in advance, and I'll wait for you in the underground parking lot after work in the afternoon."
"No problem."
"Okay, then I'll go first."
Chu Tianjiao bowed slightly, then got up and strode out, and closed the door when he left.
Qin Mo had a smile in his eyes, watching his back disappear in front of him.
Today, he has met two of the contemporary heads of the five major families, and they are both excellent leaders.
And after tonight, he will meet with the three.
"I don't know what kind of character Chu Xiong is." Qin Mo thought to himself in the bottom of his heart.
Immediately afterwards, he raised his head, but saw that Li Yuan was still sitting in place and did not leave.
"Team leader, do you have anything else?"
Qin Mo asked directly, without beating around the bush.
Hearing this, Li Yuan, who was sitting on the sofa opposite, suddenly trembled, and suddenly woke up from the thinking of the right talent.
"Hmm...... Actually, it's not a big deal, I just want to say thank you to you."
Li Yuan's voice was very small, far below the decibel of her usual speech, and she even lowered her head slightly, hiding her cold face.
This appearance is not her usual style.
Qin Mo was slightly stunned, and asked suspiciously, "What is the team leader thanking for?"
"Thank you for your efforts during this time, the Gaoling Xia clan will soon be thrown into a place of no return, and the attack on my father can be regarded as revenge."
Li Yuan raised his head this time, looked at Qin Mo solemnly, and said seriously.
Hearing this, Qin Mo was immediately stunned, then smiled and waved his hand casually.
"What's the matter, what's the point of saying thank you? Not to mention that Xia and I have already formed a bond, I am also doing things for myself.
Moreover, I am also very unhappy about the attack on Brother Li, who has a close relationship with me, he is not only the father of the team leader, but also my ......."
Qin Mo suddenly stopped, and the last few words that had reached his throat were swallowed back by him.
He originally wanted to talk about the New Year's friend, but after thinking about it, it seemed strange to say this in front of Li Yuan.
Li Mou is Li Yuan's father, but he calls Li Mou the elder brother, but he also calls Li Yuan the team leader, the two used to have a superior-subordinate relationship, and now it is a reverse superior-subordinate relationship......
Hiss.
This generation is really a little complicated.
Although it is said that there are different opinions, but now that he is really in front of Li Yuan, no matter how he looks at it, it looks like Qin Mo is deliberately taking advantage of him.
Therefore, Qin Mo couldn't help but be a little stunned, he hurriedly snorted, and waved his big hand:
"Anyway, that's what it means, you and I have a close relationship, you don't need to see each other like this, the family doesn't talk to each other."
Li Yuan: "......"
Well, that sounds even weirder.
The office suddenly fell into a strange and embarrassing atmosphere, and for a while, Qin Mo and Li Yuan did not speak.
Li Tiangang, who was sitting in the shadow of the corner, looked at the two of them, and couldn't help grinning the corners of his mouth, his eyes were extremely playful, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.
After a long time, it was Qin Mo who took the lead in speaking, breaking the embarrassment.
He didn't continue the topic just now, but asked, "Team leader, are you still renting a house outside?"
Hearing this, Li Yuan slowly shook his head.
"I've quit the house, and I've moved back to the manor since my father was attacked.
The Li family can't be left without an owner in the imperial capital for a day, and now that his father and mother are gone, and he can't come back in a short time, Li Mo and I need to take on this responsibility.
Uncle Li told me that the two of us need to stay calm and sit in the manor castle, so that the rest of the Li family can clearly see that the backbone is there, and at the same time, this can also be seen by the other four families.
I think, Lee
Uncle was right, so he moved back."
The Uncle Li in her mouth is none other than the old housekeeper of the Qingyang Li family in the imperial capital manor.
The old housekeeper has followed Li Mou in and out of high society for many years, although he has never been in a high position, but whether it is vision or experience, it is far beyond the reach of ordinary people.
His arrangement can be said to be appropriate.
You must know that for the family, the importance of lineage can be imagined.
If something happens to Li Mou, and the Li family's power in the imperial capital is completely messed up, it is conceivable what outsiders will think in their hearts.
And the two of them are like now, so that they can show the temperament of the core children of the millennium family and show the posture of ancient inheritance.
This is the responsibility and obligation brought by the bloodline, as long as there is the blood of the Qingyang Li family flowing in the body, then there is no escape, and there is no way to escape.
Li Mou had said this before, but Li Yuan at that time did not have a deep understanding.
Today, it's different.
Her heart is gradually growing.
Qin Mo nodded and said, "It's good to go back and live, at least it's safer over there in the ancient castle."
"Well, that's right." Li Yuan replied softly.
Then, the two chatted casually for a few more words, and Li Yuan left in a hurry and continued to be busy with the matter at hand.
Qin Mo can do nothing in the security bureau, fish and bask in the sun all day long, and be a hands-off shopkeeper, but the people below can't.
Especially in recent times, the imperial capital is not peaceful, and chaos has arisen in many places, which is under the jurisdiction of the Security Bureau and needs to be dealt with by various departments.
After Li Yuan left, silence returned to the office.
At this time, Li Tiangang suddenly stood up from the shadow in the corner, he pulled a chair to the floor-to-ceiling window, found a comfortable position with the second most light, and Shi Shiran lay down.
"Should I say it or not, although few of the children of the Li family have outstanding talents, this little appearance is all first-class, and that Nizi looks very good just now."
Hearing this, Qin Mo turned his head slightly, glanced at him from the corner of his eye, and said gloomily:
"What? Do you have an idea?"
Li Tiangang: "......"
His smiling face instantly turned black to the bottom of the pot, and his forehead was crawling with black lines.
"I'll fuck you, your dog's mouth can't spit out ivory, this girl has to call me ancestor, what can Lao Tzu think?" Li Tiangang said angrily.
Obviously, he broke the defense.
Seeing this, Qin Mo couldn't help but smile between his eyebrows.
It seems that the smile has never disappeared, it has just shifted.
He crossed his fingers behind his head again and said leisurely, "Then why are you talking about this?"
"Heh, what's it all about? You don't know what kind of virtue you are?"
Li Tiangang snorted coldly, and then continued: "I think that Nizi's personality is okay, and it also has some meaning for you, and you and Li Mou are old friends.
This is the so-called fertilizer and water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, anyway, you two are about the same age, just get married, I will reluctantly be a matchmaker for the two of you."
He really wants to match the two, and he wants to be an old man and pull a red line.
As soon as Qin Mo heard his words, he tasted the hidden meaning and knew Li Tiangang's true intentions.
Old in the month? Pulling the red line?
It's just a superficial disguise.
Li Tiangang, as a ninth-order S-level awakener, of course he would not be idle to do this, nor was it to satisfy his bad taste.
The reason why it is so out today is because of that reason......
After all, Qin Mo's surname is Qin, not Li.
There is no bond between blood relatives, no matter how a person with a foreign surname is, he is still a person with a foreign surname.
But if it is combined with Li Yuan's lineage, it will be very different.
Qin Mo and Qingyang Li
The clan is almost bound into one.
Only in this way can Li Tiangang be 100% assured.
However, this was not in line with Qin Mo's wishes.
He smiled slightly, didn't beat around the bush, and directly refused: "Old fellow, don't talk in vain, I have no idea of getting married for the time being, and I'm not a dazzling old man.
I can see exactly what Li is doing to me, so I don't need to worry too much."
Hearing this, Li Tiangang fell silent.
Although he and Qin Mo have not been together for a few days, he is in a clear state of mind, and he probably knows what kind of character Qin Mo is.
Moreover, a peerless genius with amazing talents will naturally not be bound by a mere family.
The eagle is supposed to soar above the nine heavens, where is the reason to be trapped in a corner?
Thinking like this, Li Tiangang's eyes gradually cleared, and he let out a long breath of turbidity.
"Whew...... Okay, you kid like to marry or not, Lao Tzu is too lazy to care about you."
"Well, it's like you're my parent."
"What's the matter? Lao Tzu has lived for more than 200 years, can't he be your elder again? Do you know how to respect the old and love the young?" Li Tiangang raised his eyebrows and said in a loud voice.
"Huh? Does the old goblin include the elders?" Qin Mo wondered.
Li Tiangang: "???"
For a moment, his breathing couldn't help but become rapid by three points, and the strength in his body was surging like the sea, and there was a faint sound of waves crashing on the shore.
He seems to have never won in terms of fighting with Qin Mo.
The strength of this guy's poisonous tongue is far better than his own realm!
Li Tiangang was very depressed.
Seeing this, the smile between Qin Mo's eyebrows became more and more intense.
"Speaking of which, old thing, how did you see that the team leader was interested in me?" He asked curiously.
"Do you still need to see? Lao Tzu closed his eyes and knew what was going on in his heart."
Li Tiangang said proudly, the black line on his forehead disappeared without a trace in a blink of an eye, and an inexplicable confidence suddenly appeared.
"Boy, in terms of women, you are still a little too tender, Lao Tzu, I have talked about more people than you have eaten, learn more, even if you only learn a little, it is enough for you to use it for a lifetime."
As soon as these words came out, Qin Mo's eyebrows trembled, he looked at Li Tiangang with a surprised face, and looked at him carefully from head to toe.
Then, shaking his head, he spoke:
"Hehe, I don't believe it."
"Hey, you know a hammer, I think I was also a merry man back then......
Li Tiangang talked eloquently, once again talking about his glorious love history.
Time flew by in the small talk between the two, and soon it was five o'clock in the afternoon.
A warm current silently emerged from his chest, Qin Mo's mind moved slightly, his eyes focused on his eyes, and opened the Gene Awakening panel.
Light Points: 37 (freely assignable)
Qin Mo still followed the previous distribution plan, first assigning 4 points to each of the eight attributes, and then adding 1 point each to vision, intelligence, strength, speed, and defense.
The huge warm current quickly escaped to every corner of his body, and the scorching solar energy was injected into every cell of Qin Mo, and nothing was missed.
While feeling the various changes that occurred in his body, he looked at the new attribute panel, and the smile on his face was extremely rich.
After today's distribution of light energy points, Qin Mo's eight attributes have all reached more than two hundred points, which can be said to have crossed to a new level.
At the same time, a piece of information suddenly flashed through my mind.
"Enhanced: Bio Force Field."
After the information flickered, Qin Mo only felt a little fluttering up and down his body.
He knew that it was the gravitational force on him that was gradually decreasing under the action of the sun's energy.
It has been previously tested that the enhancement of the biological force field is not a simple accumulation of heights, but a direct doubling
Litre.
In other words, Qin Mo's current flight limit altitude has become eight thousand meters!
This is not far from the troposphere, and it only takes one more strengthening wave for him to be able to reach the troposphere.
As he said yesterday, every day that passes, his strength changes dramatically.
Now that the biological force field has been strengthened, it means that Qin Mo's speed will break through again on the original basis, with a sharper reaction and faster speed!
Five minutes later, the huge warm current disappeared like a tidal wave, and I don't know where it ended.
Qin Mo stood up from the chair, spread his arms, stretched his waist vigorously, and stretched the muscles and veins of his body.
Li Tiangang on the side didn't know that just now under his nose, Qin Mo's strength had been enhanced again.
He also stood up, glanced at the fiery red sun that was sinking outside the window, and urged:
"Don't bother, you kid, hurry up and go to the Chu clan in the north of the town to get a good meal."
Hearing this, Qin Mo nodded, and the two of them followed each other to take the elevator down the first floor and head towards the underground parking lot.
The agreed Chu Tianjiao had already been waiting here early, and he was driving a silver-white off-road.
Li Tiangang glanced at it, then shook his head, and said:
"What kind of off-road do young people drive? The ultimate sports car is what should be pursued, and I'll go in my car tonight."
Hearing him say this, Chu Tianjiao's thick eyebrows raised, but he didn't get angry, but turned his head to look at Qin Mo and asked:
"Who is this?"
"Leave him alone, an old thing who lives a long time." Qin Mo waved his hand and said with a smile.
Old stuff?
Chu Tianjiao secretly repeated it in his heart, and he couldn't help but show curiosity in the depths of his eyes.
You must know that the strength of old things is basically not too low, and Li Tiangang looks about the same as thirty years old, and he doesn't look old at all.
Well, it's very intriguing.
"Is this one going with you tonight?" He then asked.
Qin Mo nodded, he knew that it was impossible for Li Tiangang to let himself go alone, his task on this trip was to protect his own safety, and when it came to this aspect, he would definitely not slack off.
One thing to say, although Li Tiangang spoke rudely, acted out of tune, and liked to brag a little, he did what he had to do very well.
Of course, after a while, Qin Mo estimated that he wouldn't need him to protect him.
And after Chu Tianjiao heard Qin Mo speak like this, the curiosity in the depths of his eyes became more and more intense.
He was very interested in Li Tiangang's true identity, but seeing the two of them like this, he didn't mean to take the initiative to say it.
Although Chu Tianjiao's heart itched with curiosity, it was not good to ask again.
Afterwards, the group of three got into Li Tiangang's luxury sports car and headed towards the private estate of the Chu clan in the imperial capital in Zhenbei at a flying speed.
Along the way, it can only be described as galloping.
Li Tiangang's car drove very fast, and he stepped on the accelerator almost the whole time, without any slowing down at all.
Fortunately, his driving skills are okay, and there were no accidents along the way.
About fifteen minutes later, the Chu family's manor appeared in front of the three of them.
The roaring engine gradually stopped, and the three of them stepped out of the car, and Li Tiangang and Qin Mo entered it under the leadership of Chu Tianjiao.
This was the first time Qin Mo had come to the private manor of the Chu clan in Zhenbei, and his eyes wandered as he walked, looking around.
The layout of the manor is almost no different from that of other millennium families, with fine lawns on both sides, every grass and tree is extremely precious, and in the depths of the manor stands an ancient castle.
The architectural style of the castle is clearly ancient, and the scratches on the stone walls are the wind and frost left over from history.
[In view of the general environment,
This is not a modern building,
At least 500 years old.
At first, Qin Mo didn't think there was anything special about these manor castles, he thought that the five families were happy to live here, just to show off their ancient personality.
It wasn't until his hearing was wide enough to cover the entire imperial capital that he realized that these castles seemed to have some mysterious power that could hinder exploration.
Obviously, the five families were not chosen randomly.
Inside these castles, there must be some hidden secrets in history.
Only the ancient family that has been inherited for thousands of years can know why.
Qin Mo suppressed his mind and sealed this doubt for the time being, leaving it to be explored slowly in the future.
He is not in a hurry, and things always have to be dealt with one by one.
The top priority at the moment is obviously to completely bring down the Gaoling Xia clan first, and then let go of the rest.
Soon, the huge pitch-black castle slowly came into Qin Mo's eyes.
At the gate of the ancient castle, there stood a tall man with a burly figure and a seven-point resemblance to Chu Tianjiao, and this person was none other than Chu Xiong.
Qin Mo recognized his true identity at a glance.
After all, the thick eyebrows on Chu Xiong's face were so conspicuous that they were almost connected in a straight line.
"Hahaha......
Before the three of them could get closer, a hearty laugh rang out.
"If it's really famous, it's better to meet, and it's better to meet than to be famous, I never thought that Guan Neihou was such a young handsome man."
Chu Xiong stood with his hands in his hands and said a wave of extremely polite words.
Hearing this, Qin Mo's face immediately put on his iconic official smile, and he replied, "I have admired the Duke of Chu for a long time, and it is really a blessing to see it today."
Should I say it or not, in terms of scene talk, Qin Mo is really skilled.
If people who don't know see this scene, I'm afraid they will think that these two people have been friends for a long time.
"The Hou of Guannai is serious, hurry in and say that the dinner has already been prepared, so the distinguished guests have to take their seats."
"Where is the distinguished guest, Tianjiao and I are friends, so I should call me uncle." Qin Mo smiled.
Hearing this, Chu Xiong let out a hearty laugh again.
"Hahahaha, don't see the virtuous nephew, when you come to the Chu family, you should come to your own house, feel free."
The two walked towards the castle as they spoke, and the relationship seemed to have become much closer in these three words.
At least...... On the surface, it seems so.
Subsequently, several people sat down one after another, and the housekeeper ordered his subordinates to start serving the food with a very good eye.
Chu Xiong sat in the position of the main seat, and it was only then that he temporarily took his attention away from Qin Mo's body and looked around the long table.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, it directly startled him when you saw it.
When Chu Xiong's eyes were on Li Tiangang's body, his body immediately froze, his brows were furrowed, his thick eyebrows moved back and forth, and his eyelids couldn't stop jumping suddenly.
Chu Xiong almost thought that he had recognized the wrong person with his dazzled eyes.
But when he blinked and looked at it carefully, Li Tiangang's face and a figure in his heart gradually coincided, whether it was the facial contours or the details of his facial features, they were all the same!
Hiss!
Chu Xiongmeng gasped in his heart, others were stupid.
Chu Tianjiao didn't know Li Tiangang, but he did, although he had only seen the photos, it didn't affect him to make a distinction now.
He never expected that such a great god would appear at the family banquet tonight.
Such an abrupt change made him a little overwhelmed for a while.
But after all, Chu Xiong is the contemporary head of the Chu clan in Zhenbei, and he is a person who has seen the world.
Although Li Tiangang's sudden appearance really startled him, he still adjusted his thoughts almost instantaneously.
Immediately after, there was a bang, and the chair that had not yet been warmed up by the ass went straight
Pushed away by him.
Chu Xiong suddenly got up, faced Li Tiangang, respectfully between his eyebrows and eyes, and cautiously asked:
"Why are you here?"
Suddenly, everyone's eyes in the banquet room turned to Li Tiangang.
Except for Qin Mo, the rest of the people's hearts were full of shock, secretly guessing Li Tiangang's identity.
can make Chu Xiong show such a posture, what kind of person is he?
At this time, Li Tiangang, who gathered everyone's attention, did not have any pressure at all.
He sat peacefully on the chair, picked up a small pre-meal appetizer and threw it into his mouth, chewed it slowly and swallowed it into his stomach, before looking up at Chu Xiong.
"What, I can't come? Your Chu clan's broken castle is someone else's coming, but Lao Tzu can't come?"
is a simple sentence, revealing unparalleled arrogance and domineering.
The entire banquet hall fell into silence in an instant, and the atmosphere was extremely strange.
No one could have imagined that Li Tiangang was so arrogant and bold.
However, Chu Xiong's next reaction was to make everyone know clearly what kind of status Li Tiangang had.
"You can come as you want, but I didn't tell you beforehand, and I didn't do anything to make you laugh."
"You kid is a respectful old man who loves the young, unlike some people......
Li Tiangang seemed to mean something, and then he waved his hand and said:
"Okay, you don't need to prepare or prepare, you talk about yours, just as I don't exist."
"Understood, it's just that the Cold Moon Ancestor misses you very much, and he has been talking about it a lot over the years......," Chu Xiong said slowly.
Hearing the name Han Yue, Li Tiangang's eyes instantly flashed with a touch of panic.
He coughed lightly at first, then his expression became serious, and he said solemnly, "You kid, don't reveal the news that Lao Tzu is here, otherwise......
Hmph, you know."
The color of his threat was almost written on the door of his head.
Qin Mo was taken aback by him, he really didn't expect Li Tiangang to be so bold and openly threaten the head of the Chu clan in the territory of the Chu clan in the north of the town.
However, Chu Xiong didn't feel any feelings, he didn't feel angry at all, but nodded his head to make sure that he wouldn't say anything.
Qin Mo looked at the two of them like this, his eyes couldn't help but flicker, and he secretly pondered in his heart:
"This Cold Moon Ancestor of the Chu Clan in Zhenbei seems to have a bit of an unusual relationship with Li Tiangang, can it be said ......that the relationship is a bit unusual?"
A bold thought quietly emerged in Qin Mo's heart, and the way he looked at Li Tiangang became strange.
But now was obviously not the time to explore carefully, Qin Mo had to keep the burning gossip in his heart for the time being, and leave it after the dinner was over.
Of course, this is just a small episode.
After receiving Li Tiangang's solemn instructions, Chu Xiong sat back in the chair.
Immediately afterwards, one after another the elaborate dishes were served to the people of the castle.
There were only four people sitting around the long table, Chu Xiong's father and son, Qin Mo and Li Tiangang, and the duchess of the Chu family did not show up, and I don't know if she was not in the imperial capital.
But all in all, this private banquet of the Chu clan in the north of the town.
From this moment on, it officially begins.
