Volume 8 Vertical and Horizontal Chapter 601 First Touch the Qin Family
Seeing Athena here, then it's a big deal, what Hu Wei and Qin Ming were here before, it's just for fun, first, to experience life, and second, to relax.
In the past few years, the war has been very urgent, and every day my mind is turned to the military, and occasionally relaxing my brain and forgetting my identity as a general is also a good way to rest. Elephant rubber bands will break if they are tightened, and people will also have problems if they are always pulled tightly.
But they never imagined that they would meet Athena in this inconspicuous dart game convoy. Although Qin Ming hadn't met Athena yet, he had been at war with the aliens for a long time, and he still knew the names of several important people of the alien race.
Hearing Hu Wei shout Athena's name, he was suddenly a little dumbfounded. That's a bit of a coincidence. How did you meet her here?
Athena seemed to be about to get out of the car, although Hu Wei was a little more lustful, she didn't have the unscrupulous to peek, so she quickly gave Qin Ming a look and went back to the car to hide. Athena didn't know Qin Ming, but she knew him for worrying. Let her see it, and the matter will be much bigger.
"Are you sure that woman is Athena?" Qin Mingzhi didn't believe Hu Wei's eyes, but this matter was too important, and he had to make sure again before he could make a judgment.
Hu Wei smiled bitterly: "I want to admit my mistake, but that woman is really Athena." We've been together for a short time, and although she's made a slight change, it's definitely her, and there's nothing wrong with it. â
Qin Ming nodded solemnly, now he and Hu Wei are collaborators, the two can be said to share good and bad, and the aliens are their biggest enemies, Hu Wei will not joke about this kind of thing.
"You say, what should we do. Do you want to give Athena to ......" Qin Ming made a downward gesture and continued: "An important general of the Broken Alien Race has a great deal of strength against our army. â
Hu Wei thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Your idea is good, but I'm afraid that doing this will do us more harm than good." Now that the aliens have just experienced a defeat, they are finally a little more honest and give us some respite. If we kill Athena, the aliens will surely take revenge on us. How famous this saint is among the aliens, we still don't know yet, we can't take this risk.
Besides, killing an Athena doesn't mean much to us either. The aliens will not be weakened by the absence of her. â
"That's it. Qin Ming thought about it for a moment and agreed with Hu Wei's opinion. He was not an impulsive person in the first place, so he proposed this plan from the beginning, which was originally used to veto.
"So what do you think we should do? Qin Ming continued to ask.
Hu Wei also recovered from the shock of discovering Athena just now, and looked at Qin Ming with a smile: "Don't keep asking me, I believe that you also have the answer." â
Hu Wei and Qin Ming are both smart people, and on many issues, they don't have to play too much, who doesn't know what is going on in their hearts.
Qin Ming didn't have much reaction when Hu Wei said this, and he didn't have any embarrassment.
"In my opinion, Athena's presence here is very abnormal. We should find out what she is up to. Qin Ming said.
Hu Wei looked at Qin Ming seriously and said, "Qin Ming, I'm afraid you have to be mentally prepared for this matter." In my opinion, he will not be simple. â
Hu Wei This is something in the words, let Qin Ming be mentally prepared, this is a hint to Qin Ming, Athena appeared here, it is likely to have something to do with the old Qin family. If the Qin family really had any collusion with the aliens, then the Qin family would be the enemy of the human race, and the war disaster in the Tianfeng Continent would be even more terrifying. ă
Qin Ming obviously understood what Hu Wei meant. Although he has a deep estrangement from his family, it is his family after all. Blood is thicker than water, and he is not a ruthless person, who can not take the family in his eyes at all.
Qin Ming didn't speak again, and the car fell silent. Quietly, the breeze blows, and you can hear the sound of the grass being blown down.
From night to dawn, the convoy continued on the road.
Hu Wei and the two stayed in the car and traveled with the team, just like yesterday. The carriage they were in was inferior, and they walked at the back of the procession, and they were not afraid of being discovered by Athena.
When it was time to cook, Hu Wei and Qin Ming had to be doubly careful. They can discover Athena, and Athena can discover theirs. Qin Ming was sure that he hadn't seen Athena, but he wasn't sure if Athena had seen him. ,
Fortunately, the journey was quite smooth, and after more than ten days, not only did there be no accidents, but Hu Wei and Qin Ming did not collide with Athena.
That night, after dinner and work, Hu Wei and Qin Ming returned to the carriage early. Today is the last day, and tomorrow the convoy will be on the ground. They had to discuss what to do.
"There's nothing to think about, we'll bite behind Athena, we'll go wherever she goes, and we'll find out what she's here for. Hu Wei said affirmatively.
"As for what we said before, the family meeting in Goryeo is only once a year, and after this time, I don't know where to find the patriarch. Qin Ming hesitated. This time he went to see the patriarch, not because he had made an appointment in advance, but because he tried his best to find out the place of this year's family gathering.
The members of the old Qin family are scattered in various countries, and it is not easy to meet each other in normal times. Relying only on letters, many things are not clear, so there is a regular meeting every year, and all heavyweights are basically present.
Hu Wei also knew that the two things collided together. Athena's appearance here was very unexpected, but it was not necessarily a shocking conspiracy. If you change your mind and give up this opportunity to meet with the Qin family patriarch in order to track her down, I am afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses.
Hu Wei thought about it for a while in his heart, and said, "I don't think it's better like this, isn't there still a few days left, let's follow this Athena first and see what we can find." When the time is almost up, we can decide on the next move. â
When the convoy arrived at Minghuang Town, Hu Wei and Qin Ming received their wages, broke away from the convoy, and hung far behind Athena.
Athena was not alone, there were seven or eight people in her group, both men and women, and several of them were masters at first glance. Hu Wei and the others followed very carefully. Seeing that Athena and her party stayed in the inn, they also hurriedly asked for a room at the inn.
"Looks like they're going to rest here for the night tonight. Hu Wei made sure that there was no movement in the courtyard opposite, so he turned his head and poured himself a glass of water. People can rest, they can't rest, and they stay in two shifts.
"I don't think so, they've been in the wagon all the time, and it stands to reason that they shouldn't be very tired. Qin Ming thought for a while.
"You mean they might be here, with what to connect?"
"In short, you can't go wrong with a tight look. â
Hu Wei nodded in agreement with Qin Ming's opinion. Qin Mingke is not a vain person, and his opinions are also very important to Hu Wei.
But this night, there was nothing to gain. Athena's party lived very quietly, there was no movement, and the two of them were busy all night.
The next day, Hu Wei and the others followed behind Athena and the others. I don't know if it's intentional or unintentional, the direction of Athena and her party is actually Goryeo.
Everyone is on the same road, this should be something to be happy about, but Hu Wei and Qin Ming's hearts are very heavy. Because this is closer to the speculation in their hearts.
"You say, do you want to kill your relatives carelessly this time?" Hu Wei saw that Qin Ming's face was not very good-looking, and couldn't help but make a little joke. Just now, Athena and an old Qin family's steward connected their heads.
The stewardship of the Qin family is different from the stewardship of ordinary families. The stewards of ordinary families can only command a few small families at most, while the stewards of the Qin family can command the army. And it's the kind that doesn't make it that even if it's a country.
Qin Ming ignored Hu Wei's jokes, he didn't want to laugh at all now, his white jade-like brows had already wrinkled into this Sichuan character.
If there were any doubts before, there are basically no doubts now. If the Qin family didn't catch up with the aliens, how could they have contact with the aliens.
"You go back first, I want to walk around alone. Qin Ming turned his head and said to Hu Wei.
"If you want to leave me, that's not possible. If you want to go into Qin's house to have a look, take me with you, and we can take care of it." Hu Wei said with a grin. If he couldn't even guess what Qin Ming wanted to do, then he would be too vegetable.
"The meeting place of the old Qin family has always been the Longtan Tiger's Den, do you really want to go?" Qin Ming asked.
"Come on, when did you become so verbose. Hu Youcai didn't care what Qin Ming said. Danger, it's not that he hasn't seen it, since he came to the Tianfeng Continent, he doesn't live on the death line every day, and he doesn't get used to it, so it doesn't matter for a long time.
Qin Ming glanced at Hu Wei deeply and said no more. It's okay to have worries to go together, his current relationship with his family is not so good, and he can't be sure what will happen. ,
Some people may think that Qin Ming is a member of the Qin family, and no matter what happens, he will not lose his life. People who think like this don't know the Qin family. The Qin family is a military family, and it is also a military management at home. Let's not mention that Qin Ming has violated the family rules many times before, just because he is not qualified this time, but he came to the meeting place, and if he is found, he will break his leg, and the heaviest punishment is death.
Family rules are like military law, and there is no half-heartedness to talk about. This is also the reason why the old Qin family can spread thousands of people.
Hu Wei originally thought that the meeting place would be somewhere in the mountains, but when Qin Ming took him to a mansion, he realized that the Qin family's meeting place was actually on the most prosperous street in Goryeo.
"Do you know who's going to be at this meeting? Hu Wei looked at this courtyard, which was even more beautiful than the Goryeo Palace, and asked Qin Ming on the side.
Qin Ming shook his head and said: "This is the Qin family's top secret, except for the patriarch, even if it is the people who are present, they don't know who is participating, let alone know the identity of the other party, even if they guess it, they can only rot in their hearts, and they will never be able to say it." â
Hu Wei was secretly speechless. The secrecy work has actually reached such a point that it is almost catching up with the Military Intelligence Agency.
"How do we get in?" asked Hu Wei another question. The defenses here, from the outside, are nothing like ordinary homes. However, Hu Wei believes that that is only the surface, and there may be something in it.
"Sneak in. Qin Ming replied without hesitation. He was not qualified to attend such a meeting, to be precise, he had once been qualified, but now he is not. Because he didn't merge his troops into the Qin family's system, and now he hasn't been hunted down for the crime of betraying his family, which is already very good, how can he be qualified to participate in the most important gathering of the family.
Qin Ming said that he wanted to sneak in, but instead of going to those corners, he sat down in a teahouse opposite the gate.
Hu Wei sat across from him and didn't speak. He knew that if he wanted to sneak in from a corner, there was absolutely no chance, and if he wanted to succeed, he had to use his brain.
"You said Athena would come. From time to time, I saw that people opened the gate and entered the house, and Hu Wei couldn't help but think of Athena. She came here, obviously for the Qin family, but she didn't know what kind of identity she would be with to participate in this party.
Thinking of this, Hu Wei was a little depressed. Even Athena received the news and began to prepare to attend the party of the old Qin family. But before that, he couldn't get the wind at all. If Qin Ming hadn't said it, he would probably not know that there was such a party now.
It seems that the strength of the intelligence organization under his command is still too thin. After this incident, it will be necessary to strengthen this capacity once again. If possible, it would be better to merge Hanyi's Wanshitang into the dark night, rather than sharing resources like now. Although resource sharing is good, there are still many problems with zĂ i.
"According to the old rules, she probably wouldn't have attended, and now, I don't know. â
Qin Ming's tone was a little helpless, it seemed that he was becoming more and more disappointed with the old Qin family.
"Stop, whatever. The family member who watched the courtyard stopped Hu Wei and Qin Ming, who were dressed as guys in the restaurant.
"We are proud to deliver takeaways. Hu Wei didn't speak, it was Qin Ming's answer.
"The people from the proud building have just come once, and they came again so soon?"
"I just sent oil to catch chicken, and I forgot to take the oil. Qin Ming replied. The two guys before had already been knocked out by him, so they naturally knew what they were sending here.
"Really?"
After another period of cross-examination, he was finally released. Fortunately, Qin Ming is here, otherwise there are many things, and Hu Wei and Ben can't answer.
However, is it necessary for a restaurant guy who delivers things to know so many things?
Hu Wei suddenly became alert, took a step closer to Qin Ming, and reminded, "I'm afraid there is a problem here." â
Qin Ming was stunned for a moment, and came to his senses in an instant. The thousand-year-old Qin family has put too much pressure on him, which has affected his wisdom to a certain extent.
"Don't make a sound, we'll find a way to go back. Qin Ming replied in a low voice. Although I don't know where the horse's feet are exposed, the only way to do this is to withdraw immediately, which is the right way.
"I'm afraid it's not in a hurry. Hu Wei smiled bitterly and shook his head.
It is true that there is no hurry, the door behind has been closed, and five or six people have come in front and back.
"It's a perimeter guard, it's very powerful, you can't be careless. Run at any time when you see the opportunity. Also, don't climb the wall, be sure to walk on the ground. â,
Qin Ming hurriedly explained a few words to Hu Wei, and now in such a situation, there is only so much he can sue Hu Wei.
The two groups of people in front and behind have already forced over. They didn't have weapons in their hands, but it was clear that they had guys hidden in them.
"Two good friends, don't you know Gao's name?" asked one of the leaders who walked in front, ten steps away.
The man was about forty years old, white-faced, beardless, dressed like a scribe, with a happy smile on his face.
Hu Wei knows that the more such people are, the more difficult it is to deal with. Don't look at him smiling at you, he will give you a knife at any time and take your life.
"I ...... We're just guys from the restaurant, here, here to deliver something. Qin Ming said stubbornly. He didn't mean to pretend to stutter, it was really nervous. Although he and Hu Wei have been dressed up, once they fight, the kung fu on their bodies cannot be hidden, and the Qin family can guess that it is him without a few moves. At that time, he would be openly hostile to the Qin family.
Before, it could be said that he was young and disobedient, but now not only did he come uninvited, but he also brought outsiders to disguise himself and want to blend into the venue, no matter what the reason, it is no longer a reason.
"Huh, take it down for me," the leader of the scribes, waved his hand.
"Don't move, let them come up. Hu Wei shouted in a low voice before Qin Ming could make a move.
Qin Ming didn't know why Hu Wei suddenly asked him not to move, but he believed that Hu Wu would not mess around at this time. So he instantly suppressed his heart of resistance, and stood there with a flustered face, letting a few Xueliang steel knives stand on his neck.
Hu Wei was about to do it in a panic, and even knocked over the basket in his hand, screaming in fright.
This time, Hu Wei is really gambling. While people were coming from front to back, he was wondering where the horse's feet were exposed. But when I thought about it, I didn't find anything wrong.
It wasn't until the guy dressed as a scribe gave the order to arrest them that he guessed that this might be a trick, so he reminded Qin Ming not to resist.
This time, yes, it really made Hu Wei guess correctly. The steward dressed as a scribe actually didn't find anything wrong with Hu Wei and Qin Ming. He just felt that the guy from the proud building came more often, so he tried it.
This trick is called scaring the grass and scaring the snake, if these two people really have a problem, then they will definitely not let the steel knife stand the neck. On the contrary, there is no problem, just suspicion.
As the saying goes, the road is one foot high, and the magic is one foot high, this time, Hu Wei won a little.
