An hour later.

Imperial capital, Lee's manor.

At this time, the night banquet had just ended, and the atmosphere of the banquet was very harmonious.

There was no one else in the field, only Li Mou's family of four, as well as Qin Mo and Li Tiangang.

A few people didn't talk about any serious things, they casually said some strange things, and talked about the various styles in Daqin.

Except for Li Yuan's gaze looking at him with a very resentful gaze, Qin Mo's general feeling was still very good.

After dinner, the Duchess took Li Mo's brothers and sisters to the second floor with great interest, and was not prepared to participate in the conversation between Li Mou and the three of them.

She is a very virtuous woman, and she is very knowledgeable, and has a good eye.

Qin Mo had a very good impression of his wife.

So, the three of them prepared to go to the lawn outside to chat, and wait for the second ancestor by the way.

But who knows, just the moment they walked out of the castle, when they saw a middle-aged man lying on a wicker chair not far away.

The man's expression was very lazy and casual, his right hand resting behind his head, and his left hand holding a half-opened scroll with a simple style and yellowed pages.

At first glance, this scroll is not a modern product, but at least it has a long history of 500 years, maybe even earlier.

The middle-aged man would be looking intently at the nameless book, as if it contained a big secret related to genes, which was extremely attractive.

Qin Mo and the three of them saw him, and he also saw them.

Without waiting for Li Mou and the others to speak first, the middle-aged man put down the scroll and turned his head to look at a few people, his eyes were flat, and the corners of his mouth were smiling.

"I took a general look, and the Qingyang Li clan is doing quite well in the imperial capital."

He gave a brief compliment.

Hearing this, Li Mou and Li Tiangang were stunned.

Then they suddenly stepped forward quickly, fell to their knees on the ground, looked very respectful, and shouted in unison:

"Li Mou (Li Tiangang), a disciple of the Li family, has seen the second ancestor."

The two of them walked with a great gift of kneeling to worship their ancestors.

This is not excessive.

Their bodies are more or less flowing with the blood of the second ancestor, and they are the genuine descendants of the second ancestor.

Don't look at the second ancestor's black hair, without a trace of wrinkles on his face, he is full of energy, but in fact, his real age is already five hundred years old.

When Li Tiangang was born, the second ancestor personally hugged him, and he looked like this at that time.

Now that Li Tiangang is dying, he is still like this.

The mottled years seem to be difficult to leave traces on the body of the second ancestor, he is like an ancient evergreen tree, standing in Qingyang Li for hundreds of years without falling, quietly watching the changes in the world.

And his true strength, as well as the realm of the Awakened, has always been a mystery.

Everyone only knows that the second ancestor is very strong, very strong.

As for how strong it is, it is not clear.

At this time, in the face of the two of them, the second ancestor accepted it calmly, then smiled slightly, waved his hand and said:

"Hurry up, this is not in the family, there is no need to be so particular.

I haven't come out to see it for hundreds of years, but the world has changed a lot, and I have to keep up with the times, keep pace with the times, and not be left behind. ”

The smile on the corner of the second ancestor's mouth was rich, he stood up from the rattan chair, inserted the scroll in his hand into his trouser pocket, and then put his hands behind his back, looked up at Qin Mo not far away, and said:

"At the age of twenty-three, I have already been promoted to the Heavenly King, such a terrifying talent, I am far inferior to you."

Rumble!

At this moment, it was as if countless tons of high explosives had been lit in the hearts of Li Mou and Li Tiangang.

The expressions of the two were surprisingly consistent, their eyes widened, their jaws opened, and their expressions shocked.

They knew that Qin Mo's talent was very high, but they really didn't expect it to be so high.

Even the second ancestor gave such an evaluation.

As he said in his own words, his talent was far inferior to Qin Mo!

What is the gold content?

And what level of recognition is this?

This is equivalent to saying that Qin Mo's future achievements will inevitably surpass that of the second ancestor, and even ......

Far more than!

It is no wonder that the second ancestor chose to come to the imperial capital in person.

It turned out that he actually valued Qin Mo so much.

Li Tiangang and Li Mou were now a little overwhelmed, and Qin Mo's talent had greatly exceeded their cognition.

But Qin Mo himself didn't react, his expression was still the same, and he didn't even jump his eyelids much.

After all, in his opinion, this is the right thing to do.

You know, what he has awakened is a superhuman gene, and the level of power in the future will be able to crisscross the universe wantonly, so what is there to be surprised by surpassing the second ancestor?

All Qin Mo needed now was a little bit of time.

Give him another year, or even half a year, until his points in all aspects have increased to thousands or even tens of thousands.

At that time, Qin Mo was able to exert the true power of superman.

Therefore, when he heard this, he only symbolically humbled himself:

"The second ancestor has a good reputation, no one can say for sure what will happen in the future, and I still need to make unremitting efforts."

Hearing this, the second ancestor smiled and nodded, and the appreciation in his eyes became more and more intense.

Qin Mo was originally a self-humble remark, but in his eyes, it was not so, but it became a proof that he was not arrogant or impatient.

"With such a talent and such a heart, this son will definitely have a lot to do in the future, and it seems that I have made no mistake in this trip."

The second ancestor said secretly in his heart, he raised his evaluation of Qin Mo to a higher level again.

Then, as he walked towards the castle, he said with great humor:

"Let's go in first, although the summer night in the imperial capital is not cold, there are quite a lot of mosquitoes."

It's a joke, of course.

With his realm, even if a mutant mosquito came, it would be impossible to bite his skin.

However, the atmosphere in the room quietly became relaxed in the conversation, and the relationship between the several people quickly became much closer.

The group returned to the hall on the first floor of the castle.

The second ancestor seemed to have never been here, and as soon as he came in, his eyes wandered, and he looked around casually, and he didn't know what he was looking at.

Li Mou personally went to brew a pot of the most expensive hot tea and served it to the second ancestor and Li Tiangang one by one.

After the second ancestor took the tea, regardless of whether it was hot or not, he drank it all and poured it into his throat.

Looking at the way he drank tea, he obviously didn't look like a person who knew tea, and he probably drank it when boiled water moistened his throat.

But no one dared to say this, and they didn't even dare to think about it in their hearts, Li Tiangang and Li Mou were very restrained, and the two of them sat meticulously and very upright.

Qin Mo was still the same as before, taking care of Erlang's legs, and there was no change.

He never cared about that.

Do what you have to do, how you feel comfortable.

Qin Mo is such a person.

After the tea was drunk, the second ancestor took the lead in speaking out, breaking the still somewhat tense atmosphere.

"Has anyone been from the royal family?"

"Back to the second ancestor, a heavenly king has come, and he has been sent away." Li Mou said respectfully.

Hearing this, a different color flashed in the depths of the second ancestor's eyes, and he bowed slightly:

"Well, since that's the case, then I'll go with Qin Mo.

The Great Qin Law cannot be abolished, it can be done as it should be, and my Li family still has to act according to the rules. ”

"That's what the second ancestor said." Li Mou nodded in response.

"But ......"

The second ancestor suddenly changed his words, got up and said:

"If someone doesn't follow the rules, then I, the Li family, am not easy to bully."

Word by word, although it is very flat, but there is an incomparable domineering spirit inside.

Li Mou and Li Tiangang immediately looked stunned, and claimed to be yes again.

Immediately afterwards, Li Mou turned his head to look at Qin Mo and said to him:

"Qin Mo, you have to go to the prison for two days first, so as to block the mouths of the people and calm down their emotions temporarily, so that I can lead public opinion.

But don't worry, the Qingyang Li clan will get you out of prison as quickly as possible, and this time will not be too long, three or five days at most. ”

Hearing this, Qin Mo slowly bowed his head and said with a smile:

"Yes, anyway, with the second ancestor with me, it doesn't matter how long I stay."

Li Mou: "......"

Li Tiangang: "......"

Li Er: "......"

At this moment, the three of them were speechless, and their faces were black.

said this, as if he didn't get him out, even the second ancestor wouldn't come out.

Li Mou couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, and hurriedly changed the topic:

"Do you have any more requests? Lee's side will do their best to be satisfied. ”

Request?

Qin Mo raised his eyebrows, his eyes flickered, and he thought about it a little in his heart.

Is that a requirement...... There really is one.

I saw the corners of his mouth raised, revealing a bright smile.

"I needed a sunny room with big windows and plenty of light every day."

Qin Mo said.

……

……

Night, eight o'clock.

Li Tiangang drove his extremely luxurious supercar all the way through the imperial capital and drove to the royal restricted area.

As soon as they entered the forbidden area, the noise of the streets and the bustle of a midsummer night seemed to leave them in an instant.

Inside and outside the restricted area, there are two worlds entirely.

There are only illusory neon lights flashing blue and purple on the road, and you can't see a single figure after walking for dozens of meters.

However, Qin Mo, who was sitting in the back of the sports car, would not be confused by the appearance in front of him.

Within his holographic vision, there were at least fifty small flickering red dots, hiding around the sports car.

I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at them, and most of these people are S-class awakened people, and only a few are A-class.

That's the power of royalty.

The so-called royal forbidden area should be more accurately a military-controlled area.

It's just that Qin Mo didn't understand why he wanted to set up such a place in the imperial capital.

The explanation of the royal family to the outside world is that in order to show the majesty of the royal family, so that there can be a gap between the royal family and the common people, and it is convenient to manage the rule.

But is that really the case?

"If it's really just for the sake of majesty, then why arrange for so many Awakened to be here?"

Qin Mo thought to himself in his heart, he remained puzzled about this.

The royal exclusion zone is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface.

There must be other deep secrets hidden here.

And just as Qin Mo was thinking about it, Li Tiangang had already taken him to the depths of the royal forbidden area.

The roaring engine died down, and the car slowly stopped in front of a six-story building, with a guard standing on the left and right sides of the building's doorway.

After seeing Li Tiangang and the two, the guard's expression immediately became vigilant, and his eyes became very sharp.

These two people are two A-level awakened people, and their strength is quite good.

The A-class, which has a fairly high status outside, can only be reduced to watching the gate here, so the importance of this place is self-evident.

Qin Mo pushed the car door and stepped down, he raised his head and looked at the big characters written on the left side of the building, his eyes narrowed slightly.

I saw that it was written:

"Great Qin Prison"

It's just three words, but it exudes a trace of gloomy atmosphere from every stroke.

If ordinary people look at these three words directly, I am afraid that they can't help but shudder and shudder.

According to Li Mou, Daqin Prison is not the same as an ordinary prison, and there are only two kinds of people held here.

The first type, prisoners above the S-class awakened.

The second type is a prisoner above the S-class awakened who has committed the most heinous crimes.

Even if it is a Heavenly King, he can still be imprisoned here, and the strength of the guards inside the Great Qin Prison can be imagined.

Just as Qin Mo stopped and looked, Zhou You, who was full of fat face, walked out of it with broken steps.

He glanced at it and found that only Li Tiangang and Qin Mo came together, and he was slightly relieved in his heart.

"Guan Neihou, the cell has been prepared for you, please come in."

Zhou You said with a smile, although he is the warden, he is not the king of heaven, so his posture is very low.

Seeing him speak like this, Qin Mo turned his head to Li Tiangang and bowed slightly, and then followed behind the prison guards and strode into it.

The last string that was tense in Zhou You's heart finally loosened at this time, he smiled at Li Tiangang, and then turned around and walked inside.

With a thud, the heavy black door slammed shut, like a monstrous beast closing his star-shaped mouth.

At this point, Qin Mo can be regarded as completely imprisoned.

This is the end of Li Tiangang's escort mission, he turned on the engine, drove the sports car to make a dexterous and elegant turn, ready to turn back along the road he came.

At the same time, under the dark night, the top floor of the Great Qin Prison.

Wu Cheng put his hands behind him, restrained his breath, and quietly stared at Li Tiangang who was gradually moving away.

The corners of his mouth slowly curled up into a sneering smile, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in the depths of his eyes.

If it weren't for Li Tiangang's longevity, he wouldn't mind sending him on his last journey.

Of course, this needs to be done quietly and cannot be discovered by the Qingyang Li family.

Otherwise, he will be hunted down by the Li family for the rest of his life.

Wu Cheng thought like this in his heart, and couldn't help but slowly squint his eyes.

But in the next moment, his eyes suddenly widened, and the hole shrank.

Seeing that the driving seat of the sports car that was about to completely disappear from his sight, Li Tiangang raised his right hand and made a provocative gesture.

The middle finger stands tall in the sky, and the other four fingers are bent.

Li Tiangang actually knew that Wu Chengcheng was watching him behind him!

The threshold of the Heavenly King in front of him seemed to be silent...... Loosened a little.

……

……

There are two flowers, one on each branch.

At this time, inside the prison, Qin Mo had already come to his private cell.

He looked at the eighty-square-meter room in front of him, and the corners of his mouth twitched several times unconsciously.

"What the hell is this, it's actually a prison cell?"

Qin Mo scolded secretly, he couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.

To be honest, he really didn't expect that there would be a leather sofa, a double bed, and ...... in the cell

High-definition screen projector.

If this is not the Great Qin Prison, I am afraid that I thought I was here for a vacation.

His old house in Guanghong Street, Baiyun District is not so good!

"It's really upper-class." Qin Mo sighed in a low voice.

He just said he wanted a sunny room so he could absorb the sun's energy.

But who knows, Qingyang Li actually directly arranged a "luxury suite".

This is the ancient family that has been inherited for thousands of years, they have been deeply rooted in the Great Qin, and their influence is beyond imagination, and the energy they can mobilize is extremely powerful.

In this way, Qin Mo thought in his heart as he walked towards the bedroom.

But he had barely taken a few steps out before he turned his head to look at the leather sofa beside him.

I saw the second ancestor sitting quietly on the sofa, crossing Erlang's legs, holding his chin with his right hand, and holding the old yellowed scroll with his left hand, looking at it intently.

】

No one knows exactly how he got in, and no one knows when he got here.

It seems that he had been sitting there for a long time.

Of course, Qin Mo knew.

He has spiritual perception and is very sensitive to all the changes that occur in the things around him.

Li Ming's sudden appearance couldn't escape Qin Mo's detection, and Li Er was the same.

Although his methods are more advanced than Li Ming, the current Qin Mo is not the previous Qin Mo.

He will obtain a lot of light energy points every day, enhancing various attributes of his body in an all-round way, and his strength will grow very rapidly.

"Aren't you surprised here?"

Li Er suddenly shifted his gaze to look at him and asked with a smile, interrupting his thoughts.

Hearing this, Qin Mo nodded slightly and replied:

"It's a bit unexpected, but when you think about it, you don't think there's anything wrong."

"Well, the five families are like this, they can enjoy privileges almost anywhere, and it seems that their status is naturally superior."

Li Er nodded, then shook his head and said, "However, I don't like this. ”

"Oh? Why? ”

Qin Mo was a little surprised, Li Er and his family, as the group of people who enjoyed privileges, would actually say such things.

This really made him a little confused about what Li Er was thinking in his heart.

But Li Er didn't give Qin Mo the idea of answering his doubts.

The corners of his mouth curled up again, and he said, "Why? I don't know why, I just don't like it. ”

After the words landed, Li Er stood up, stretched out his arms, and stretched his waist widely.

He didn't wait for Qin Mo to speak, then smiled and said:

"In the next few days, you can do whatever you want here, even if you are hungry and thirsty, Li can arrange a few girls for you to come in.

Don't worry, I won't eavesdrop, and I won't peek. ”

Qin Mo: "......"

Suddenly, he didn't know what to say, and he was stunned.

He originally thought that Li Erhui would be an extremely serious person, but judging from his first contact now......

Apparently not.

It seems that there are few serious people in Qingyang Li.

Li Mou likes to go to big health care very much, Li Tiangang is a frequent visitor to big health care, and Li Er is the same now.

Could it be that this is the fine inheritance of Qingyang Lee's engraved in the depths of genes?

Qin Mo couldn't help but have such a guess in his heart.

And, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was very likely.

Looking at his dark face, Li Er frowned slightly and asked:

"What? Too little?

Oh yes, you're only twenty years old, and young people are in their prime at this time. ”

Qin Mo: "......"

It's speechless to say it or not.

He didn't want to continue talking to Li Er anymore, so he turned around and entered his room with a dark face, ready to rest.

It was already past eight o'clock in the evening, and in less than two o'clock, it was time for him to go to sleep on weekdays.

Nowadays, although people are in prison, they are also prisoners to some extent.

But the habits he should have will not change because of this, and he will still choose to spend it in self-discipline.

The end of self-discipline is loneliness, and the end of loneliness is freedom.

One of the body and soul must be free.

Qin Mo has always thought so.

As for Li Er outside the door, he couldn't help but shake his head boredly when he saw that Qin Mo didn't answer.

Then, he continued to sit back on the couch, took out the yellowed scroll with a long history, and looked at it intently.

It's as if the book really holds a big secret about genes.

But this is just conjecture, whether it is hidden or not, except for Li Er himself, no one knows.

Of course, Qin Mo didn't care about this.

Anyway, he's not an awakened person, so what if he really hides a secret?

He was already lying on the bed, his eyes focused on his eyes, and he quietly opened the Gene Awakening panel.

Vision: 239

Listening: 232

Intelligence: 235

Respiration: 232

Strength: 239

Speed: 239

Recovery: 231

Defense: 238

His current attributes have become like this, and he has made great progress compared to before.

After the light energy points accumulated in the afternoon were evenly distributed by Qin Mo, the attribute of breathing once again reached the strengthening threshold, and the super breath was doubled!

Looking at the pile of more than two hundred numbers on the attribute panel, the corners of Qin Mo's mouth slowly curled into a smile.

"My current strength is already comparable to that of the Heavenly King, but Xia Zu should have only just been promoted, and his strength in all aspects is much worse than that of the True Heavenly King First Order.

The royal king Wu Cheng and the second ancestor I saw tonight were all stronger than him, especially the second ancestor, whose strength was simply unfathomable and extraordinary.

I am still far from worry-free, I must not relax, and I will continue to work hard to improve in the future. ”

Qin Mo secretly warned himself in his heart.

Now, as his strength increases, the part of this world shrouded in fog is gradually revealing his true face.

The higher the status, the more you know.

It can be said that this is one of the underlying rules of social operation.

But the more you know, the more dangerous it becomes.

Qin Mo had a faint feeling now, he always felt that some major changes might happen in Great Qin in the near future.

Perhaps, the long-lost peace will be ruthlessly broken, and a new chaotic era is coming.

You know, history is always strikingly similar.

Lasting peace is nothing but the fantasies of the people, or rather, there has never been real peace in the world.

Beneath the surface calm, there are only countless waves.

It's like a seemingly calm lake in winter, and no one knows when the ice under their feet will break, or if a big fish will pop out after it breaks.

"Qi Kingdom, Five Great Families, Royal Family...... This is really an internal and external trouble. ”

Qin Mo muttered softly, and then secretly pondered, "What does the royal family want to do?" ”

"The behind-the-scenes force of the Heaven and Earth Society is the Gaoling Xia clan, and the Xia clan has the secret support of the royal family.

The members of the Heaven and Earth Society have been assassinating the core children of the family, and Xia Zu is bent on promoting the sixth prince of the country like never before, in a vain attempt to compete with the five great families......

If you look at it this way, then the powerful spiritual awakened person who has never appeared in the Xia clan is obviously a member of the royal family. ”

Qin Mo's super brain was constantly running, deducing the true purpose of the royal family from the side based on the various information he had collected.

His current intelligence is as high as 235 points, and his computing power is extremely powerful, and he has realized it almost instantly.

"It seems that Your Majesty wants to support a new force and gradually weaken the influence of the Five Great Families on Great Qin." Qin Mo whispered secretly in his heart.

The contradiction between the thousand-year-old family and the royal family can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.

Moreover, the contradictions between the two sides are extremely deep.

The royal family of this generation is the weakest generation of the royal family in the past thousand years, and the five families are now at the apex of Great Qin.

Both sides are currently in a very awkward position.

Then, the five families will naturally look at the chair placed overhead.

The temptation of power and power, for these people, is like the most delicious delicacy in the world, something that is simply impossible to resist.

In other words, it is very likely that Great Qin will breed civil strife.

It's just that Qin Mo still doesn't understand a little bit.

He understands that the royal family urgently needs a new force to break the existing situation, but Xia Zu is collaborating with the enemy and treason.

How could the royal family be so tolerant? Or even acquiescence?

He doesn't think that the royal family doesn't know what Xia Zu has done, I'm afraid His Majesty knows it clearly!

Qin Mo slowly narrowed his eyes, frowned slightly, and secretly pondered:

"Qin and Qi are mortal enemies, and Qi does not have any of the five great powers, all of them are decided by the royal family, and they are even more powerful than Great Qin.

With such a strong enemy eyeing the front, His Majesty actually connived at Xia Zu to do things in such a radical way, isn't it a disguised opportunity to give the Qi State?

Your Majesty...... Is it that stupid? ”

As soon as such a thought flashed through his mind, Qin Mo immediately denied it directly.

Of course, Emperor Qin couldn't be so stupid.

If you can become an emperor, you can't be a complete fool.

Among them, there must be a reason that he doesn't know.

But from the information gathered so far, it is difficult to find out why.

Qin Mo had no choice but to suppress this doubt to the bottom of his heart first, and wait for more clues to think about it later.

And, in a few months' time, none of the things that are on your mind now are a thing.

With his growth rate, it is estimated that he will be able to easily torture and kill the Great Heavenly King soon.

Strong strength is the foundation of troubled times.

Thinking like this, Qin Mo closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
