The answer is not yet known, but Qin Qianjun went to the ancestor's ancestral hall after arranging the family and the family. Unlike Qiu Daozi, he lost his face and went home and smashed things to discourage. Qin Qianjun found a futon. He sat down cross-legged, and then carefully recalled the causes and consequences of the conflict with Qiu Daozi.
Qin Qianjun discovered that even if the elders did not give a small report to Qiu Daozi, Qiu Daozi would know what he did sooner or later, and they would inevitably conflict.
Moreover, the confrontation in the hall is only the beginning, and the temporary agreement cannot restrict their respective behaviors, and there will be more violent storms coming!
Sure enough, as expected by Qin Qianjun, on the fifth day when he arrived at the ancestral hall of the ancestor, the ancient steward ran from outside in a panic expression.
Only when he entered the ancestral hall of the ancestor, the ancient steward drove the subordinates down, closed the door, and then did not rest, and directly said to Qin Qianjun breathlessly:
"It’s not good, the patriarch, the Supreme Elder said that in order to hone the perseverance of the imperial city’s defenders, cultivate the hard-working spirit, and make them sharper, he ordered them to change defenses with some of the border city’s defenders and mix them into them. Among the remaining border city guards, let them guard the border city together."
The ancient steward was pale. He knew that the guards of the imperial city transferred by Qiu Daozi were all led by Qin Qianjun's cronies. They were the army Qin Qianjun had been training intensively, and they were also Qin Qianjun's main support.
This tiger-wolf teacher has gone from weak to strong, and has exhausted all Qin Qianjun’s efforts. After years of hard work by Qin Qianjun, they have long become the trump card teachers of the Qin and Misty Peaks. This is also the case. One of the most powerful armies on the continent.
However, Qiu Daozi transferred such an army away from the imperial city, let them exchange defenses with the border guards, and then transferred those relatively weak frontier guards back to guard the imperial city, the purpose of which was self-evident.
After Qin Qianjun listened to the report of the ancient steward, he was not surprised. He knew that during the month he had been thinking about in the ancestor's ancestral hall, Qiu Daozi would definitely do something, and attacking his army was part of it.
It's just that Qin Qianjun didn't expect Qiu Daozi to move so fast and so ruthless. Not only did he move away the defenders of the imperial city who were loyal to him, but also broke up the establishment. It was really "well-intentioned".
In fact, Qin Qianjun could understand that Qiu Daozi would hurt the killer so much, because when he was fighting in the hall, Qiu Daozi threatened to abolish him.
At that time, Qiu Daozi was so angry and so determined, but in the end he finally compromised under the mediation of the great elder Mo Ziyun. One of the most important reasons was that he was afraid of the army in Qin Qianjun’s hand and was afraid of anxious. He, his army will mutiny, which will bring unpredictable consequences.
Therefore, now that he seized the opportunity, Qiu Daozi took advantage of Qin Qianjun’s absence and took advantage of the fact that he was in charge of the clan’s internal affairs, and began to transfer and dismantle Qin Qianjun’s army. This slowly emptied him and put him to death.
Qin Qianjun had expected Qiu Daozi's behavior a long time ago, and he was prepared, but he was still a little unwilling, and some couldn't believe it. He asked emotionally, "Is what you said is true?"
"Really! Patriarch, General Du Yiping has been transferred to Vaz by the Supreme Elder, and he set off this morning. The Imperial Guards under his command were taken by Guo Mo, following him, and set off for the border town. , I’m afraid it’s a hundred miles away now.” This matter is related to the survival of Qin Qianjun's faction. The ancient steward did not dare to lie. He told everything he knew.
"Hey"
When Qin Qianjun heard this, he sighed helplessly. He knew that the ancient butler had been with him for so many years and had always been loyal to him, and his words were still credible. What makes Qin Qianjun annoyed is that he is now in the ancestral hall of the Patriarch, and he will not be able to go out until he stays for a full month.
Moreover, don't even think about it, since Qiu Daozi is moving Qin Qianjun's people, he must have taken all possible situations into consideration and made corresponding preparations.
In this way, even if Qin Qianjun went out in violation of the agreement, he would be stopped by Qiu Daozi's people within a few steps, and the situation would be even worse when all kinds of crimes came down.
Qin Qianjun thought that his efforts over the years would fall short. He was very angry, thought about it, and then asked a little discouragedly: "Who is the general who switched to the guard of the imperial city?"
"The defender of the border city Nanling—Left General Pu Shiming." The ancient steward didn't know what Qin Qianjun meant. He just asked Qin Qianjun casually, and he just didn't care.
Because of Qiu Daozi's behavior, the ancient steward was very powerless. He only managed the Qin clan on behalf of Qin Qianjun. He didn't have the prestige of Qin Qianjun in the clan, so he was not going well. As a result, Qiu Daozi came to intervene. He is the elder too, with the greatest power. Qin Qianjun can't violate his orders, let alone the ancient steward.
Many Qiu Daozi's decisions could only be obeyed by the ancient steward, but could not be opposed. He watched Qiu Daozi weaken Qin Qianjun's power, and he was already desperate.
"Oh, it's him? It seems that the sky won't kill me!"
However, the words of the ancient steward gave Qin Qianjun a different feeling. Originally, Qin Qianjun’s heart was cold, but he did not expect that it was Pu Shiming who was replaced by Qiu Daozi as the guard of the imperial city. He was excited again. The flames of hope rekindled in the gloomy eyes.
Seeing Qin Qianjun’s changes, the ancient steward was very puzzled. He said puzzledly: “Patriarch, this Pu Shiming is a member of the Supreme Elder. When you were not the patriarch in the early years, he was originally the guardian of the imperial city. , The elders of the Supreme Being had the grace of promotion and cultivation to him."
"Only later, after you became the head of the patriarch, you felt that this person's thoughts had not changed and it was not easy to use, so you transferred him away, and let General Du Yiping take the role of guarding the imperial city. You know that this person has clear grievances and a heavy feeling. Righteousness, he has always had opinions about you, and he is grateful to the elders!"
"This time, the elder Taishang has shown kindness to him again. I can guarantee that he will definitely treat the elders and will fight against us. Why do you still feel that it is better for him to guard the imperial city than others?"
What the ancient steward said, Qin Qianjun knew that, and he also knew that the ancient steward would ask this, but he did not directly explain it, but instead asked: "You said that Pu Shiming is a person who has a clear sense of grievances, love and righteousness. , Isn't it?"
"Yes." The ancient steward nodded, but he still didn't react. Qin Qianjun saw this and continued to ask: "Then do you know that he has a strong martial arts?"
"I know." The ancient steward nodded again. As a steward, he knew more than the patriarch in some respects, but he really didn't understand what Qin Qianjun wanted to express
Seeing that the ancient steward could not guess what he meant, Qin Qianjun stopped selling Guanzi. Instead, he asked: "Then you say that a man with a high martial arts temperament can be controlled by anyone?"
The ancient steward showed a thoughtful expression, he didn't know how to answer, and Qin Qianjun continued: "Maybe you don't know yet, at this time, at another time, Pu Shiming is no longer the Pu Shiming of the year!"
Qin Qianjun’s expression was a bit complicated. In the anticipation of the ancient steward, he paused before saying: "The present Pu Shiming has not changed his temperament, but his head is much more flexible. He has learned how to adapt, and now he is more than affectionate. Heavy righteousness and general knowledge. He has long since let go of his dissatisfaction and has the same idea of reviving the Qin nationality like me. This was when I visited the border defense last year, he and I mentioned it vaguely, and I only knew it."
"Moreover, a few days ago, when I was preparing to return to the land of China, Pu Shiming also got news. He sent someone to me and asked me to allow him to also train and expand his border guards. He said he was also against the ancestors. If it weren’t for the elders to disrupt the situation, I would have approved him. Now, you should know why I think it’s better to tune him than others?"
"Oh I got it."
After listening to Qin Qianjun’s explanation, the ancient steward understood, but there was still a trace of worry on his face that did not disappear. Qin Qianjun couldn’t help but asked a little puzzledly when he saw that he wanted to say something. Is something wrong?"
"Patriarch, the Supreme Elder is his benefactor, even if he is like you said, but you cannot preside over the overall situation now, at a disadvantage, he will inevitably not turn to the enemy. If he is grateful for the kindness of the Supreme Elder, the Supreme Elder will let him He does what he does, and what shall we do then?" The ancient steward has lived for so many years, and he hasn't seen anything. He doesn't believe that Pu Shiming will not change.
The words of the ancient steward reminded Qin Qianjun. He also thought of this possibility. After all, "good birds choose wood and dwell." It is normal for him to turn to war. After thinking about it, he said with a serious expression:
"What you worry about is, but I believe that even if he obeys Qiu Daozi, he will definitely not do it right away. He will definitely wait and see for a while."
"While he hesitated, you took my token to see the governor of Dongling, Wang Wen, and asked him to secretly gather the guards of the former imperial city that had been disrupted by Qiu Daozi, and tell him that it was not really gathered together. Just let them keep in touch and clearly command."
