Chapter 742: Attracting the Wind and Attracting Fire
One day without words, the next evening.
"Let me ask you again, when the two of you went out, didn't you arouse Qin Ku's suspicions, right?"
In the bustling night market, a carriage passed slowly, and in the carriage sat the three heroes of the Qin family with different expressions and worried thoughts.
"Big brother, don't worry, you still don't know our relationship with Qin Ku? If there is nothing important, we won't see each other for three or five days. He has long suspected that we are in charge of the east and west, and interferes with his leisurely life, so he wishes that we should go far away, and never nag in his ear. Qin Er's tone was both dissatisfied and helpless.
"What was Qin Ku doing when you came out?" Qin Da still didn't seem at ease, and couldn't help but ask again and again.
"What else could he do? Gambling in the backyard, of course, with a bunch of fox friends. Qin San said disdainfully, "A while ago, he wandered around Fireworks Willow Lane night and night, mingling with a group of dusty women all day long, and he got carried away. Recently, I have been obsessed with gambling money, and I can't enjoy playing in the gambling house, so I simply open the gambling game in the house, and every day I pull the disciples in the house and some ruffians in the city to gamble in the backyard, and the house is full of smoke and chaos. ”
"Alas!" Qin Er sighed, "To say something that shouldn't be said, Qin Ku's behavior is no different from a villain getting rich." In the past, he was homeless, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and he was infected with a bad habit, but he was a little more restrained because of the shyness in his pocket. Now it is different, with the Qin family as a backer, holding endless gold and silver in his hand, he is a cold food in the court, a Lantern Festival at night, extremely poor and extravagant, and extravagant. In the long run, even if the Qin family has a golden mountain, he will be defeated. Rather than that, I wish he had been as ill and delirious as we said when we prevaricated outsiders......"
"That's it!!" Qin San waved his hand impatiently, "It's just a futile thing to say this, so don't say it!" All in all, the eldest brother put his heart in his stomach. Qin Ku's kid is playing in the dark now, and he can't think about it, and he doesn't care where we go at all. ”
As for this, Qin San's eyes rolled, the smile on his face gradually subsided, and he said cautiously: "Big brother, who are you taking us to Yingtianlou to see?"
"This ......"
Qin Da's face changed slightly, and he hesitated: "We are brothers of flesh and blood, the closest people in the world, and the eldest brother will not hide anything from you." But I'd like to ask you one last time before I pick it out, and I'll hear your thoughts by the way. ”
"Ask us what?"
"What if............" Qin Da Shen thought and slowly spoke, his voice extremely low, "I mean if! With an iron heart, you will drag the Hexi Qin clan to the abyss from which you will never recover, what will you do?"
"This ......"
Qin Er and Qin San glanced at each other, and the two of them looked pensive, and no one dared to speak.
"Another way to ask!" Qin Da saw that the two of them didn't seem to understand, so he simply turned his heart sideways and said bluntly, "If the eldest brother can't bear to watch the Qin family fall step by step, he decides to help the building to fall and turn the tide, so he will not hesitate to ...... Disobeying the orders of the current head of the house, or even ...... It is contrary to the current head of the family. You two...... And what about it?"
"Shhh
Qin Da's words are not trivial, although they are Qin Ku's elders, their seniority and prestige in the Qin family are very high, and they can even be called the optimus jade pillar of the Qin clan in Hexi, and they can build the golden beam of the sea.
However, the head of the family is the head of the family, since Qin Gang founded the Hexi Qin clan, the transcendent status and absolute authority of the head of the family in the family is an unshakable existence, and this golden iron law has continued for decades, and no one has ever dared to question it.
Even Qin Ku avenged his father and killed Qin Ming, under the banner of "authentic bloodline" and "overthrowing the usurper".
This shows that the top-down orthodoxy and bloodline inheritance of the Qin family have long been deeply embedded in the bone marrow of every child of the Qin family.
Therefore, today's remarks made by Qin Da that ran counter to the head of the family were tantamount to blatantly breaking the traditions that had lasted for decades in the Qin clan, and how could they not make Qin Er and Qin San feel extremely shocked.
"You should know that the eldest brother is not doing this out of selfishness, but completely for the sake of the descendants of the Qin family and the future of the Qin family!" Qin Da said with a solemn oath, "In a sense, the election of Qin Ku as the head of the family is the result of the three of us trying to contribute. But it turns out that in addition to having the 'Xuanshui Scroll', Qin Ku has no other outstanding ability to control the overall situation of the Qin clan, but is stubborn by nature, mediocre and dull, if he is not corrected in time, the Qin clan's foundation will be lost in his hands sooner or later. Therefore, the mistakes made by the three of us should also be made up for by the three of us, so that we can be worthy of the ancestors of the Qin family. ”
"Big brother doesn't need to say it anymore!" Qin San's eyes were straight, and he resolutely spoke, "Since you are a brother, of course you believe in the eldest brother." No matter what you want to do, my little brother will be there to help. ”
"Me too!" Qin Er echoed, "No matter what happens in the future, the three of us brothers will work together to advance and retreat together." ”
"Big brother, just say it!" Qin San couldn't wait to ask, "What important big man are we going to meet tonight?"
"We ......"
"Uncle, second master, third master, Yingtianlou has arrived!"
Without waiting for Qin Da to answer, a report from the coachman suddenly came from outside the curtain.
"Second brother, third brother, you can follow me in!"
After saying that, Qin Da no longer hesitated, and joined hands with Qin Er and Qin San, and strode towards Yingtian Tower.
As the arrangements were in place, they did not stop in the lobby and went straight upstairs to the private room.
"Uncle, second master, third master, you are here!"
In the corridor on the second floor, the brothers Qin Hu and Qin Leopard rushed forward and saluted the three heroes of the Qin clan one after another.
"Why are you here?" Qin Er and Qin San looked at each other, and a hint of surprise couldn't help but appear between their eyebrows.
"I arranged for them to wait here. Qin Da explained, "Our identity is too eye-catching in Xijing Mansion, so it is inconvenient to go out in person for many things. Qin Hu and Qin Bao are our henchmen cultivated by one hand, and they are naturally at ease. ”
"It seems that the eldest brother did not come up temporarily, but has been planning for a long time. Qin Er suddenly realized, pretending to be displeased, "But I didn't expect that even Qin Hu and Qin Leopard knew the secret, and my third brother and I were kept in the dark and didn't know it." ”
"If I am dissatisfied with Qin Pain, it is indeed not a short time. But today's ...... The eldest brother has only started planning in the past few days, and Qin Hu and Qin Bao know a few days earlier than you. Qin Da smiled embarrassedly and hurriedly explained, "I didn't tell you, not to prevent my own brother, but this matter has not been brushed up, I was afraid of tossing you in vain, so I waited until today to explain it to you." ”
"Oh?" Qin San asked thoughtfully, "So, what the eldest brother planned is about to come to fruition?"
"It's just a bit of an eyebrow, and as for whether it can be done, it depends on whether the two brothers are willing to take action. Haha......"
With the three brothers talking and laughing, the three of them, under the guidance of Qin Hu and Qin Bao, came to a side room at the end of the corridor on the second floor.
"Uncle, the friend you made up with is in the room at the moment. ”
"Very good!" Qin Da looked at him, quickly restrained his impetuosity, and instructed Qin Hu and Qin Bao, "You two are guarding outside, and no one is allowed to come in and disturb you." If you find something going on...... Knock on the door immediately. ”
"Yes!"
Qin Hu and Qin Leopard had straight eyes, and they received orders in unison.
"Wait, wait, forgive!"
Gather your mind and push the door in. The two sides had not yet met, and Qin Da had already shouted in a matter-of-fact manner.
At this time, an old man in good spirits sat quietly at the table, twisting the tea lid in his left hand, holding the teacup in his right hand, and his left leg on his right leg under a moon-white robe.
This person is the big housekeeper of Jiangnan Lu Mansion, Sikong Zhu.
The young man standing behind Sikong Zhu is a disciple of Jiangnan Lu Mansion and Lu Tingxiang's own brother, Lu Yao.
As soon as they saw Sikong Zhu, Qin Er and Qin San were stunned, and a look of suspicion flashed in their eyes.
It was as if they had never expected that Qin Da wanted to part ways with Qin Ku, and the old friend they had made an appointment with for this was Sikong Zhu.
"The night market was crowded and the carriages were slow, so there was a little delay. Let Zhu Lao wait for a long time, Qin Da is here to make amends to his seniors!"
As he spoke, Qin Da pretended to want to bow his hand to Sikong Zhu.
"Hey! Let the people of the Qin family perform this great gift in the Hexi territory, and the old man can't afford it. ”
Sikong Zhu hurriedly got up and played with Qin Da with a smile on his face, while not forgetting to bow to Qin Er and Qin San.
After a few words, several people sat down one after another.
"With all due respect, this time I came to Hexi, and I felt very different from the previous times. ”
Seeing that Sikong Zhu took the lead in "breaking the problem", Qin Er took the opportunity to answer: "Oh, dare to ask, what's the difference?"
"In the past, the people of the rivers and lakes in Hexi and even the ordinary people were very respectful to the Qin family, no matter where they were, as long as the Qin family was mentioned, the words must be worshipful and respectful. Sikong Zhu smiled meaningfully, "But this time the old man came to Xijing Mansion again, but he overheard many people complaining about the Qin family and complaining...... Hehe, not only is his speech and demeanor a little less respectful, but even a little more ...... Banter. ”
Although Sikong Zhu's tone was relaxed and he regarded his remarks as a joke, his words were mixed with ridicule and ridicule, which made the hearts of the three heroes of the Qin family mixed, and his face changed color.
However, Sikong Zhu's words are indisputable facts, and if they are forcibly defended, they will become darker and darker.
As a result, the three heroes of the Qin family, who were already in a bad mood, became more and more depressed.
"If Zhulaodong looks at the fire, we will admire it!" Qin Sanqiang squeezed out a dry smile and said bitterly, "As the saying goes, 'The nine sons of the dragon are different', and our Qin family is the same." The style of Qin Ming, the former head of the family, is very different from that of today's head of the family. The previous head of the family took prudence as the key, forbearance as the key, and did everything with a clear eye and abided by the rules. The current head of the family is able to judge big things and is not informal. Most of the friends in the Hexi area are familiar with the style of the previous head of the family, so they face the current head of the family...... Inevitably, there is some discomfort. ”
"Although the current head of the family, Qin Ku, is smart, but he is mostly a little smart, and it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance. He is young and vigorous, strong in martial arts, if you talk about fighting alone and fighting hard, he is definitely a first-class master. But when it comes to negative mountains and mountains, the strategy is decided...... It is inevitable that some people are overstretched and unable to do so. As for this, Sikong Zhu seemed to sense the embarrassment of the Qin family's three masters, so he changed his words and said, "Just now, the old man listened to others on the way here. If there is any offense, it is definitely not the old man's intention, dare to invite the three Haihan!"
"Elder Zhu, did you travel all the way from Quanzhou to Xijing just to ridicule the current head of the Qin family?" Qin Da coughed lightly twice, and asked in an unkind tone, "Since everyone understands why we are sitting here tonight, why do you and I bother to play tricks? Let's talk about it directly! What can Jiangnan Lu Mansion do for our Qin family, and what benefits do you want to get from us?"
