Faced with Lu Shuyan's proposal, Qin Ming had a headache, and Qin Min was also looking at him with blank eyes, as if expecting him to drive Lu Shuyan away.

Qin Ming felt that Lu Shuyan's identity was no problem, after all, he was the child of his father's friend, so it was really difficult to refuse.

"In that case, then Shu Yan, you can stay first. There are many vacant houses in the Qin family, which one do you like to live in. ”

"Okay, Brother Qin, I'll trouble you from now on. Lu Shuyan immediately smiled.

"Uncle Feng, you take Shu Yan around and let her choose a room by herself. Qin Ming shouted outside the door, and Feng Si quickly came over to show Lu Shuyan the way.

"Qin Ming, is it really good for her to live here, and your relationship......" Qin Min wanted to speak again.

"Sister Min, don't think about it so much for the time being, anyway, it's like this, and there aren't many more of her. ”

"Not too much of her, what do you mean?" Qin Min immediately became suspicious.

"Because the city lord asked me to consider my marriage with Zhao Ying. ”

"Ahh

"I haven't answered yet. ”

Qin Min was silent for a moment, and then said leisurely, "Otherwise, you can agree." ”

"What, you want to drive Lu Shuyan away?" Qin Ming said with a smile.

"No!" Qin Min hurriedly explained, "I think it's better for the Qin family to marry the city lord. ”

"It turns out that Sister Min thinks so, so have you ever thought that Lu Shuyan is more beneficial to us?"

"What!" Qin Min was taken aback, and then a question came to mind.

"Could it be that her father is very powerful?"

Qin Ming nodded seriously.

"My father once said that he performed well in the Dragon Slaying Sword Sect back then, but he was only excellent in the outer gate. He didn't enter the inner door the whole time. However, once he accidentally broke through with an inner sect elite of the Dragon Slaying Sword Sect, and that person was Lu Chengfei. The two of them formed a deep bond. Later, his father returned to the Qin family, and Uncle Lu continued to stay in the Dragon Slaying Sword Sect. ”

"My father has rarely visited Uncle Lu in the Dragon Slaying Sword Sect over the years, and he himself said that the biggest reason is that Lu Chengfei and him are no longer on the same level. My father's strength can only be nested in a small place like Blackwater City, and Uncle Lu has the qualifications to become the top master of the Tianchen Empire. When he went to visit Uncle Lu, he would be said to be a slap in his mind. He didn't want to ruin his friendship, and he had been exchanging letters for years. ”

After hearing this, Qin Min couldn't help but say: "Since this is the case, it is better for you to marry Lu Shuyan, so maybe you can go further." ”

"No, it's not that simple. Qin Ming denied it, "Although Lu Shuyan mentioned the marriage contract, he also mentioned that he would not go back. But between the lines, there is a meaning, she doesn't want to get married yet, it seems that she just wants to live in the Qin family for a while. I left her mainly to observe and determine her purpose. ”

"Well, you have your idea. I'll support you in whatever you do. ”

"Sister Min, thank you. ”

The Qin family suddenly had one more person, and it was much more lively.

Lu Shuyan has let go a lot since she was sure that she could live here, she is lively and active, and she can talk to anyone.

When several people ate together at noon, she even said that the food was not very delicious, which made Ying Sanyi a little unable to get off the stage for a while.

"You do what you do, don't just talk big. "Kagesan is not a good temper either, so he slammed it on the spot.

"Brother Qin, I don't think your cook's cooking skills are good, and his temper is not small. Why don't you change it? ”

Qin Ming smiled helplessly and said, "She is temporary, and she may not be in the Qin family in the future." ”

Ying San proudly pouted at Lu Shuyan Nunu, Lu Shuyan was naturally unconvinced, and snorted coldly: "Just do it, who is afraid of whom." I'll pack the meals in the future, so I will let you know what a kitchen god is!"

Qin Ming almost laughed out loud when he heard her boast, he could see it. Lu Shuyan is a lively and cheerful girl when she really lets go, but she doesn't seem to have any scheming, but in fact, she is still a lot smarter.

Although Lu Shuyan deliberately suppressed it during the meal, Qin Ming could still see that she was in a hurry to eat. And as a girl, it is not easy to eat three bowls of rice in one go.

Qin Ming had to wonder, was this a pie sent to the door, or a hot potato to flee?

......

Rugged mountain roads, off the beaten track.

Suddenly, a group of twelve people appeared in the wilderness.

These more than a dozen people rode all black-scaled fangs, which were a special kind of equine demon beasts with rough skin and thick flesh, and a strong desire to attack.

In the Celestial Dust Empire, the Black-scaled Fangs have always been an important military material, usually the mounts of the Empire's elite troops, but this group is obviously not.

Each of them was dressed differently and had a different appearance.

Among them were men and women, mostly young people.

At this time, a tiger-shaped demon beast suddenly jumped out of the mountain road, and it was about to pounce on everyone with a roar.

At this moment, a young man at the front of the team who was in charge of opening the way immediately drew his sword and slashed at the void, only to see a golden sword qi instantly break through the air and fly out, flying over a distance of more than ten zhang in the blink of an eye, splitting the demon beast into two sections in one fell swoop.

"Okay, worthy of being a senior disciple of the Dragon Slaying Sword Sect, this Jiao Sword has been perfected!" a young man in a luxurious robe in the team praised loudly.

"Deputy Envoy Qi has won the award, Huayuan is just a branch office. The young man from the Dragon Slaying Sword Sect replied.

"Huayuan, it's time for us to make a move next time. The others laughed.

These people are all disciples of the major sects, a total of ten people, and two more are the main and deputy envoys, who are in charge of this mission.

At this time, the only middle-aged man in the team opened his mouth and asked, "Huayuan, how far is it from Blackwater City?"

"Tell the Beast Rejection Envoy, it is only more than two hundred miles away from Blackwater City after crossing this mountain. If you hurry up, you can reach Blackwater City tonight. ”

The middle-aged man known as the Beast Rejection Envoy muttered: "Don't hurry, dare slowly, find a place to rest tonight, and enter Blackwater City tomorrow." ”

"Yes!"

......

On the same day, a secret letter was delivered to Zhao Man's hand, Zhao Man opened it and looked at it, his face suddenly looked ugly, the one who should come will always come, and it is still so late.

He was so angry that he slapped the table hard, but there was no way to vent.

"Damn beast rejector, it's been six days since the beast tide came!

The so-called Beast Rejection Envoy is a new position established by the Tianchen Empire for a hundred years, to be precise, it is a temporary position, roughly equivalent to the appearance of the Qincha, and has great power.

A hundred years ago, the peerless master of the south, the Dust Emperor, overthrew the rule of the Yan Emperor and changed from the Tianyan Empire to the Tianchen Empire. At the beginning of the new establishment of the empire, a mysterious organization was set up, the Guantian Palace.

The people who watch the heavens are said to have a miraculous ability to predict the stars in advance and judge the major events that will happen in the near future. The first thing Guantian Palace did was to predict the time when the beast tide would appear.

Over the past hundred years, the Guantian Palace has predicted the appearance time of the beast tide countless times, and there is almost no error, which has not appeared in the previous dynasty, and the Tianchen Emperor is therefore considered to be a generation of Ming Lords, far surpassing the former Tianyan Emperor.

Because of the existence of the Guantian Palace, every time the beast tide is about to appear, the empire will issue an order to set up the position of beast rejection envoy, and let him lead the representatives of the major sects to the place where the beast tide rises to assist the local people in fighting the beast tide.

When the Beast Rejection Envoy first appeared, he did actively fight against the vast majority of the beast tide, and established a lot of merits, which were widely praised by people.

However, as time went on, they became less and less interested in it. In recent years, almost every time a Beast Rejection Envoy has been set up, and eventually this group of reinforcements will be late.

The Guantian Palace measured the time of the beast tide, and they deliberately delayed it, and every time the beast tide was over, they could not arrive until it was over. They don't have to fight, they can directly participate in the spoils of war.

This beast tide in Blackwater City is also, the beast tide has passed for six days, and the reinforcements brought by the beast envoy have not yet arrived in Blackwater City, Zhao Man suffered heavy losses before repelling the beast tide, this group of robbers will come tomorrow to grab the results of the war, can he not be angry?

Not to mention the spoils that Zhao Man and the major families shared before, according to the laws of the empire, the beast repelling envoy can take away thirty percent of the spoils of a city, and it is not surprising that these people will go directly to the treasury of the city lord's mansion to get it at that time. They were the Empire's appointed envoys to resist beasts, and Zhao Man couldn't disobey them at all.

"Come on, go to the Qin Mansion, I want to listen to Qin Ming's reply! Also, let him come to the City Lord's Mansion tonight!"

"Yes!"

......

Qin Ming was cultivating in the room when Feng Si informed him that there was a visitor from the City Lord's Mansion.

When Qin Ming came to the living room, Lu Shuyan and Qin Min were receiving the old housekeeper, the two women were dressed in men's clothes, one was black and one white, one was lively and active, the other was mature and calm, and they looked very interesting.

However, the old butler's expression was very serious today.

"Qin Ming, what do you think about what our city lord means?" the old butler said directly.

Qin Ming frowned, why was he suddenly in such a hurry?

Lu Shuyan and Qin Min were still in the living room and didn't leave, Lu Shuyan looked surprised and didn't know what to do. And Qin Min almost immediately thought of what the old butler was asking.

"The city lord wants me to answer now, is he too anxious?"

"There's something big going on, of course it's urgent. ”

"What the hell is going on?"

"If you don't say yes, you don't have the right to know. The old butler said indifferently.

Lu Shuyan looked at the mysterious and mysterious things they were talking about, and couldn't help but ask, "What are you talking about?" Lord Steward, what does the City Lord want to do?"

The old housekeeper glanced at Lu Shuyan and said casually: "It's a good thing, the city owner will marry his daughter to Prince Qin." ”

"What!" Lu Shuyan was dumbfounded.

Qin Ming knew that he had to tell her clearly at this time.

"Shu Yan, I'm really sorry. I didn't say yes to this, and I didn't tell you about it. ”

Lu Shuyan didn't know what to say for a while, she really had no feelings for Qin Ming, but she didn't want Qin Ming to marry a wife now, what would she do when the time came, it would be unjustifiable to live here.

The old housekeeper had a vicious eye, and he had already seen that Lu Shuyan was a beautiful woman, and then asked: "Is it because this woman has not agreed to the city lord for a long time?" With all due respect, marrying Miss Zhao Ying is beneficial to the son, and no matter how many people ask for it, they can't ask for it. I hope that the son will think about it as soon as possible and not disappoint the good intentions of the city lord. ”

Qin Ming sat on the chair, his hands kept tapping lightly on the armrests of the chair, and he was considering a difficult choice.

In a moment, he suddenly settled down and stood up at once.

"I figured it out. ”
