Qin Hao was a little stunned. He stared at Ling Yi blankly. He couldn't react at all. He asked subconsciously, "What do you want?"
The energy in Ling Yi's body has been tossed about for a while, and he waved his hands weakly: "It's nothing, what are you doing here?"
"Pill, pill, brother! Your pill is really awesome!" Qin Hao came back to his senses and returned to his excited state again.
"Oh." Ling Yi looked at him: "Is there anything else?"
"No... No, I'm just here... " Qin Hao looked at Ling Yi blankly.
"It's nothing, what are you doing here! I don't know that I am concocting alchemy in it. If you fail, you will pay!" Ling Yi glared at him.
Qin Hao:
"Do you know how expensive these medicinal herbs are? Prodigal things, you have to knock on the door next time, do you understand?" Ling Yi glared at him: "It's okay to get out."
"Oh." Qin Hao was scolded, turned around and went out.
After closing the door and standing at the door for a few seconds, he finally regained his senses and glanced back with an inexplicable and aggrieved face.
"I didn't do anything? Why are you so angry?"
"Besides, I don't understand alchemy but I'm not blind, so there's no fire in the alchemy furnace!"
"Obviously you're playing with ghosts there... Huh?"
"Green fire?"
"Blue... Green... FUCK!"
Qin Hao slapped his forehead and was a little frightened.
This is so special, everyone in the world thinks blue light is terrible, but who would have thought that in addition to blue light, there is actually green light!
Brother Jiu is so awesome!
He also has green light!
Wait... No, he just seemed to... use that green light to get a bitch
That gadget is a king, right
Then ask me if I want it
Depend on!
Qin Hao's head was full of black lines, and he walked away angrily.
Thank goodness I don't have a target!
Brother Jiu really learned badly!
It must have been taught by that woman Chu Yanyu, and the ninth brother is the one who cares most about her!
Alas, it's scary to have too many women, slip away.
In the afternoon, Ling Yi continued alchemy.
Those who live in the Qin imperial palace are lucky.
Because Ling Yi at this time, even if the alchemy fails occasionally, it is impossible to make the smell of the explosion in the kennel.
In the evening, Ling Yi had already finished refining all the medicinal pills.
He picked up the phone and sent Qin Hao a message - come here.
There was a quick "O" back there.
After a while, there was a light knock on the door.
This time, it's wise.
"Come in." Ling Yi said.
Qin Hao pushed open the door like an aggrieved little daughter-in-law, took a look inside, and then walked in cautiously.
No way, I was scolded for fear.
What kind of prince, in front of this grandfather, can only be a younger brother forever.
One day he will have to be his younger brother when he becomes the king.
"Send the medicine pill to your father. There are nine pills in total. Take one pill every seven days. After taking all the pills, pay attention to rest. Don't overwork yourself. The key is not to get angry..."
Speaking of this, Ling Yi frowned and thought for a while, and said, "After dealing with your second brother's affairs, take it after a while..."
The biggest taboo of taking this medicine is violent mood swings.
Great joy or great sadness is not enough.
Qin Xu will definitely not survive this time. Don't look at Qin Hao's grief and sorrow, because he knows very well in his heart that his second brother will surely die this time!
After all, he is a blood brother. Even if there is a big grievance, it is normal that he will not be in a good mood when he knows that his life will not be long. The mood is complicated and depressed.
Qin Hao, this brother, is still like this. He must be the old monarch who will end Qin Xu's life... and it will not feel good.
Some people may think that Qin Xu, like this, just abolish him completely, ground him, and imprison him for the rest of his life.
Actually that's not the case at all.
As long as he lives, there will be variables!
Not possible, definitely!
Because even if Qin Xu is disheartened and doesn't want to do anything, as long as he is still alive, those with all kinds of thoughts will definitely want to use him to do all kinds of articles.
To put it bluntly, this is a ready-made and very easy to use puppet!
For example, Ling Yi was bored one day and wanted to support his troops to stand up for himself, but he couldn't rebel directly, so what should he do
Just pull out the still alive Qin Xu and push him to the top!
Well, since ancient times, not too many people have done this.
So Qin Xu must die.
Ling Yi thought of this and changed the idea of letting the old monarch start taking medicine now.
Because no matter what, killing his own son with his own hands will never be happy.
Qin Hao was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately, sighed, and said: "Ninth brother, I was just about to tell you that the person who was abolished by you before refused to say anything, and the whole person is like dead, regardless of the punishment. Our men have not been able to get anything useful out of his mouth."
"My second brother... He said he wanted to see you, but he wouldn't say anything if he couldn't see you."
"What do you see me doing?" Ling Yi frowned slightly: "I don't have any direct grudges with him, right?"
Qin Hao smiled wryly: "My brother, the first time someone's good deeds were disturbed by you, and he failed to kill me, let alone become the prince, and was exiled from afar; this second time, if it wasn't for you, I'd be with you. My father probably won't survive now, if this is not a grudge, what is?"
Ling Yi scratched his head: "That's what you said, okay, take me to see him."
Qin Xu was not put in any cell, or even abolished.
These guards in the palace are helpless in the face of the top entry-level powers, and it is more than enough to see him as a prince.
Ling Yi opened the door and saw Qin Xu was sitting there in a daze. There was a table of wine and food on the table, but it was already cold.
The second son had also changed into clean clothes, and when he saw Ling Yi come in, he nodded slightly to him.
"sit."
Ling Yi admired it in his heart, but what he didn't know was that he thought that this second son was not afraid of death, and he seemed to be completely different from the one who had wet his pants twice.
Ling Yi sat in front of him: "I heard you want to see me?"
Qin Xu nodded: "Yes."
"Then I'm here now. If you have something to do, just tell me." Ling Yi said.
Qin Xu looked at Ling Yi and asked calmly, "I don't have a chance, right?"
Ling Yi smiled: "Ordinarily, if you come to ask me, I should ask you something... What do you think? But since everyone is here, there is no need to tease you again. Yes, you have no chance."
Qin Xu nodded: "I knew that was the case."
Saying that, he let out a long sigh of relief, and said with a calm expression on his face, "Then how are they going to kill me? Ming Zheng's punishment? Or a glass of poisoned wine? Or seven feet of white silk?"
Ling Yi looked at him: "Which one do you like?"
Isn't this a fucking joke
Qin Xu's eyelids jumped, but he didn't get angry. He thought about it seriously, and said, "Poison Bar, my father used this to kill a minister before. I've seen it, and it went quite peacefully."
"… "
Ling Yi looked at him strangely: "Aren't you afraid anymore?"
Qin Xu suddenly laughed.
Not to mention, when the second son was completely relaxed, he was still very attractive.
Laughing also gives people a feeling of spring breeze.
"If I'm afraid of being useful, then I'm afraid."
Ling Yi shrugged and said nothing.
Qin Xu looked at Ling Yi: "Ling Yi, tell the truth, do you look down on me? Do you think I'm particularly embarrassed? You pee your pants when you're scared?"
Ling Yi nodded: "I don't want to lie to a dying person, yes, I look down on you."
"Hahahaha!" Qin Xu suddenly laughed heartily and said, "It really is the most correct choice to be able to chat with you before dying!"
He said, picked up the jug, poured himself a glass, took a sip of it, and ignored Ling Yi, picked up chopsticks, picked up the dishes that had long been cold, and ate it deliciously.
After taking two bites, he put down his chopsticks and drank the wine in one gulp.
He said, "If you can survive, let alone wet your pants, what's the point of pulling your pants pockets?"
Ling Yi was stunned for a moment.
Qin Xu twitched his nose and said with a smile: "There is a kind of person in this world who is very wretched, lowly, and has no morals. In order to survive, he can do everything he can!"
"Did you know? More than two thousand years ago, when Daqin was not yet founded, one of my ancestors... was a taboo, so I won't say who it was."
"His old man, hey... He did all sorts of useless things back then."
He raised his head and glanced at Ling Yi: "Kneeling down for someone and digging under their crotch; being chased and killed, hiding in a chicken coop and soaking in chicken shit; in order to escape, going through a dog hole, being a beggar, and killing a good man People... Really, you definitely don't see that in the history books."
"If the ancestor chose to splatter five steps with blood, then... there should be no Daqin today."
"So, isn't there a saying that history is written by the victors!"
"Not many people know about my pants-wetting that time. Even if there are some rumors, it's actually nothing. Including this time, it's also nothing."
"As long as I can successfully ascend to the throne, become a monarch, and then... become a good monarch, then no one will mention all the past."
"You may think I'm like a waste, but from my standpoint, I don't think I'm a waste, I can only say... You are too powerful, I'm not an opponent; I can only say that my brother was lucky enough to meet you, If you are my classmate, then why should I seize the throne in this way?"
Qin Xu poured himself another glass of wine and said with a smile, "Do you think what I said makes sense?"
Ling Yi nodded: "It makes some sense."
Qin Xu smiled happily again: "Look, when you are calm, even enemies can understand each other."
Ling Yi looked at him: "But you finally killed your father and brother."
Qin Xu's hand holding the vegetables paused slightly, but he still picked up a piece of meat, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly.
"Too bland." He commented.
After a long while, with force, he swallowed down his throat.
He raised his head and glanced at Ling Yi: "Everyone has a devil in their hearts, it's up to you to let it go, or to see if it has a chance to rush out."
"If I tell you, I also had lofty ambitions, and I also thought of using Sun Qingbo's bastards to gain the upper hand, and then throw them away and kill them in the end, work hard, take back the East Sea City, and make Daqin more prosperous than it is now. Fuqiang... do you believe it?"
Ling Yi nodded: "Trust!"
Qin Xu shook his head and sighed: "I can't believe that the one who really understood me before dying was the opponent who drove me to a dead end... You know, Ling Yi, my brother doesn't believe a single punctuation mark! I'm not saying that others don't. Well, he's kinder than me, but he doesn't believe me, he doesn't believe me..."
Qin Xu said, his voice became a little low, and he muttered: "I knew when I was a child that the eldest brother is the person who will be established as the prince, the heir. And the eldest brother has always been very good, and he has performed very well, regardless of culture or The cultivation base is very good! I and the third child are not as good as him!"
"But for some reason, one day he suddenly... went crazy."
Ling Yi was stunned for a moment.
Qin Xu laughed: "don't believe it? But it's true, I couldn't understand it for a long time. Later, maybe a few years ago, I went to see him once, he was reading a book at the time, and when he saw me He is also very calm and gentle, how can he look like a lunatic? He is clearly a wise scholar!"
"Interesting, right?"
"I asked him why he was pretending to be crazy. He said he wasn't pretending. He was really crazy at the time. To be precise...it should be depression."
"Every day, every hour, every minute, every second...you have to be a perfect person, without flaws."
"The pressure is too much, I don't want to live, I just want to escape!"
"I was... how do I say it? I understand, but I don't agree with his actions. Why would a person who is destined to become a prince want to escape? Why can't he make himself a perfect person?"
"So from then on, I swore to myself that I would never be like the eldest brother. He is too weak! The ability to bear is too poor! If it was me, I would definitely be stable!"
Qin Xu looked at Ling Yi, took a sip of wine, and said with a smile: "Big brother is crazy, I am the second prince, so the crown prince should be me, right?"
Without waiting for Ling Yi to say anything, Qin Xu explained again: "Our three brothers and mothers have been very close since childhood, and there is no such thing as a genius and an idiot. What is the ability level of the third child? I believe you are looking at it. In my eyes. He's not bad, but he's not much better. To be precise, he's not much better than me."
Ling Yi was silent, because Qin Hao's ability was indeed not particularly outstanding.
At least, in Ling Yi's view, Luo Xue and Chu Yanyu should all be better than him in the same position.
"So I said that the crown prince should be me, no problem, right?"
Qin Xu looked at Ling Yi.
Ling Yi smiled bitterly and said, "I can't answer you this question."
"Well, I understand, I understand everything." Qin Xu nodded and said, "Since then, I have demanded myself as a prince, but at the same time, I also understand that I can't be too explicit, and I can't let others... It's mainly my father, who thinks that I actually got this idea at a young age."
"So I'm also very low-key, I don't contact ministers, I don't hook up with the military, and I don't even interact with those celebrities. I just study hard, practice hard, and work very hard to make myself a perfect candidate for the crown prince."
"But you know what? Just when I was thirty-eight years old and just started college... Once, I overheard my father chatting with the prime minister, I can swear, it was not intentional. I went to my father at that time, Before I could knock at the door, I happened to hear my father speak aloud, very happy, he said, "The old three are smart and have the appearance of an emperor!"
Qin Xu looked at Ling Yi, his eyes showed endless complexity, and he smiled bitterly: "Ling Yi, can you tell me what an emperor looks like?"
Ling Yi shook his head: "I don't know either."
Qin Xu laughed and said: "Yeah, you don't know, I don't know either! When I heard that sentence, the whole person was stunned. I accidentally touched the door, made a little noise, and was called by my father. hear."
"You know, my father, who has been on the battlefield, is extremely vigilant. He was probably also frightened and angry at the time, because he accidentally told a big secret."
"So, I grabbed a teacup and smashed it..."
Qin Xu looked up at Ling Yi: "I was so shocked by the news that I was completely stunned, my mind was blank!"
"So when that teacup flew over and hit the door, smashed the door into a hole and hit me again, I couldn't react at all."
"And then... I was incontinent."
"My father found out that it was me. He didn't say anything. He just let people send me back, but afterward... he became more and more cold."
Qin Xu sighed softly: "From then on, once I encounter any severe stimulation, I... I can't control myself."
Ling Yi didn't expect this to happen, and Qin Hao probably didn't know about it.
But at this moment, even if you know, what can you do
Only a sigh.
Qin Xu looked at Ling Yi and smiled again: "Actually, I don't want to beg for mercy, and I have no other purpose."
"It's just that people are going to die. If you hold back some words in your heart, it will be especially uncomfortable."
"My life is very short, and I regret it a lot. If I didn't think about it back then, I would still be a handsome second son today."
"Maybe you can become a friend rather than an enemy."
"I won't say hypocritically, I have no regrets in this life, and I have many regrets. But I have no chance to realize it, Ling Yi, you are a practitioner, you say human... Do you have a next life?"
The demon girl said lightly in Ling Yi's mind: "The reincarnated spirit body is affected by cause and effect. It doesn't know the past life or the next life. Therefore, there is no difference in the next life, whether there is or not."
Ling Yi looked at Qin Xu, whose eyes were full of expectation, and nodded, "Yes."
Qin Xu smiled reassuringly: "It's good to have, in fact, I am very afraid of the dark. When I was a child, I was afraid that the boss would laugh at me, so I didn't dare to tell him. Of course, I was even more afraid that others would laugh at me, so I never said it to others. I was afraid of the dark, and more Afraid of being unconscious after death, it is not falling asleep, but disappearing completely, that feeling is terrible."
Ling Yi was silent for a while, and said, "There is a great terror between life and death, and I am also afraid of death."
Qin Xu glanced at Ling Yi in surprise and said, "It's a pity that this king didn't have the chance to be friends with someone like you!"
"Since you said there is an afterlife, I believe you, so I just swear before I die, and take it... It's a psychological comfort!"
Qin Xu said with a serious face: "In the next life, I am willing to give up all the grievances and grievances in this life, and I hate no one! Even if I die, I will do it myself, willingly. All the cause and effect will end in this life, and it should be left to me alone. Body! Dead, dead, dead!"
In Ling Yi's mind, the demon girl let out a soft whimper and said, "It's interesting."
After Qin Xu finished speaking, he let out a long sigh and said to Ling Yi a little embarrassed: "This is a wish I have always wanted. no way… "
Ling Yi glanced at him, was he finally willing to say it
"If you didn't come today, I swear I won't make it, and I won't mention a word of everything, because it's too scary!"
Qin Xu poured another glass of wine and was about to drink it.
Ling Yi took the wine jug, glanced at the glass that had been observed for a long time, determined that no one had used it, and poured a glass of wine casually.
"Don't drink alone, I'll accompany you."
Qin Xu was slightly startled: "Aren't you afraid this wine is poisonous?"
Ling Yi said, why are you not afraid? It was my demon girl who said that this wine was safe and I dared to drink it.
"Not really." Ling Yi said lightly.
"Haha." The witch smiled.
Qin Xu's face showed admiration: "Okay, I don't deserve to be your brother, but thank you for drinking with me!"
Hold the cup with both hands, raise the cup, and drink it up.
Ling Yi also drank it all.
Qin Xu's pale cheeks still had the wound from the slap on the face before, but this did not affect the aura unique to the royal family's children exuding from this prince at the moment.
"In fact, I was already dying."
"The military, the cabinet, my royal father... all stand on the third child's side."
"The people who support me die, the loose is scattered, and the relegated is relegated, so I have almost no chance of winning."
"And I know very well that on the fief, as long as I don't shout the word "rebellion", I can do whatever I want."
"I can enjoy the world's glory, not only me, my children, my children's children... As long as the Qin Dynasty is not destroyed, the king's lineage will treat them favorably."
"Not to mention, with your rise, I feel even more that this is how I will be in my life."
"A shocking blue light, an even more shocking king with a different surname!"
Qin Xu smiled bitterly and said, "It's still hereditary! This is even more powerful than the direct prince! The direct prince is most favored by the three generations of the throne, and it has also declined from one generation to the next. After three generations, if you want to take the throne again, you must have unparalleled achievements! "
"In this case, as long as you are not mentally retarded, there should be no more illusions."
"I can't say how good Qin Xu is, but I'm not an idiot after all."
He looked at Ling Yi: "But unfortunately, I met people from the Ruoshui Sect... To be precise, they found me!"
Weak water religion
Ling Yi thought of the token on the person who had been killed before, and the word "weak water" was engraved on it.
It seems that Qin Xu really did not lie.
"When they found me at the time, I refused." Qin Xu looked serious, "I thought they were a group of speculators who wanted to play this king as a monkey. If it really succeeds, this king can really do whatever he can. thing."
"But the question is, when you know Qin Guo's blue light is guarding you, you still have to rush up. Is it a tough head or a tough life? What do you mean?"
Ling Yi looked at him: "Then what?"
"Then?" Qin Xu pursed his lips, stretched out his hand to scratch his temple, and sighed again, "And then of course it's a show!"
"Magic?"
"Well, probably, a blue light burned a woman I liked very much." When Qin Xu said this, his face was still a little distorted, with fear in his eyes, and more anger.
Ling Yi frowned.
The demon girl said coldly, "Damn it!"
"Who is it?" Ling Yi looked at him and asked.
"The one who attacked you should have been killed by the real blue light behind you?" Qin Xu was a little uncertain.
Ling Yi nodded.
Qin Xu sighed softly: "None of the Yuanshen Realm is your opponent, hey, good to die! I hate him to death!"
"He burned a woman I loved to death with a blue light, and then asked me, is this ability enough? If it is not enough, you can continue to show it and burn a few people with blue light to show me, for example, my Zhengfei, such as my few child… "
"Fuck it, that's a bastard, a shameless person."
Thinking of this incident, Qin Xu couldn't hold back after all, and scolded his mother anyway.
"Actually, if he shows a powerful enough magical power, I will cooperate with him, because I am a person who will do anything, I want this throne, I have ambitions, I have my ideals and aspirations!"
"But this mad dog actually started killing."
The hatred in Qin Xu's eyes could not be faked, he looked at Ling Yi: "So I thank you very much, so I swear that there is no hatred in my heart. Since that dog thief is dead, and hatred has been pulled by you again, my Those concubines, those children, should not have to die, so there are regrets, but no hatred."
This exchange with Qin Xu did make Ling Yi re-acquainted with the second son.
It's not as bad as I thought before, and from a certain point of view, it can barely be regarded as a hero.
"How much do you know about the Ruoshui Sect?" Ling Yi asked.
Qin Xu shook his head: "You saw it too, I am surrounded by two people from the Ruoshui Sect, one from the Primordial Spirit Realm and the other from the Eighth Heavenly Peak. To be honest, I don't even know their names to this day."
"By the way, the person who was abolished by you today told me that no matter what the Qingshan Sect or the Free and Easy Sect, it is nothing in front of the Ruoshui Sect."
After saying this, it is estimated that I immediately thought of the unbearable performance of these two today. Not only did they die, but they also completely buried him.
He sighed suddenly, and drank the suffocating wine with a melancholy face.
The demon girl said in Ling Yi's mind: "I haven't heard of it, but there are unwritten rules in the world of practice, just like unspoken rules of the world."
"The sect is the smallest force. Generally speaking, there are a dozen or even a few people who dare to call themselves a sect."
"The one bigger than the sect is the sect. To be called a certain sect, it must have at least a thousand disciples, and then there must be ten or eight cultivators to support it."
"Above the sect, is teaching."
"Those who dare to claim to teach, either have many monks who have entered the Dao, or have countless disciples, and their forces are all over the starry sky."
"The stronger ones are ancient religions. The ancient great religions that have been passed down for tens of thousands of years or even longer have an unfathomable background!"
"Of course, all of this is under the stargate."
Speaking of this, the demon girl said lightly: "So, this weak water... If it is really teaching, then I prefer this to be a private action."
"Private action?" Ling Yi frowned slightly.
"Yes, the sects are very large and the hierarchy is very strict, but the higher the level, the greater the autonomy. Let's put it this way, a manager in the sect may have more authority than the head of the Qingshan Sect."
"Zongmen are interested in the mundane, I can understand, but the huge sects... generally don't set their sights on the mundane unless there is something they particularly want."
"But even then, it's usually people who take something and walk away."
"It would be a little too useless and unrealistic to say that a great teacher came to control a mere country."
At this time, Qin Xu had already drank a few glasses of wine, looked at Ling Yi and said: "I know, that's all, and I don't know if it will be useful to the King of the East Sea. But I want to ask you one thing shamelessly."
Ling Yi looked at him: "Do you take care of your family?"
A smile appeared on Qin Xu's reddish face: "Donghai Wang is a wonderful person, I do have this in mind."
Ling Yi nodded and said, "I shouldn't have to do this, Qin Hao's side..."
Qin Xu shook his head and said, "He is him, you are you, you speak, it's different."
Ling Yi was stunned for a moment, then nodded silently: "Okay!"
Seeing Ling Yi's agreement, Qin Xu stood up, gave Ling Yi a deep salute, then stood up straight, and said with a refreshing voice, "This time I have no regrets!"
Saying that, he shouted at the outside: "Come on wine!"
Ling Yi was slightly startled.
After a while, the door was gently pushed open, and a court guard with a calm face, holding a tray in both hands, walked in slowly.
Kneeling on his knees in front of Qin Xu, he raised the tray above his head, and said in a deep voice, "Second son, please go on your way!"
Qin Xu smiled: "My father and brother, can't bear to see me die?"
The guard held the tray and said nothing.
The moment Qin Xu stretched out his hand, he trembled a little, but when he grabbed the handle of the jade jug, he became calm.
He picked up the jug, looked at Ling Yi and said, "Little Wang, dare to invite the King of the East Sea to accompany you for a drink and send me on my way!"
Ling Yi let out a long sigh, picked up the untouched jug on the table, and said with awe: "Send the second son on his way!"
Qin Xu laughed, raised the jug, and said that he had no regrets, but there was still a glint in his eyes after all.
He lifted the jug and poured it into his mouth.
The sparkling wine turned into a thin line, like a waterfall, and a pot of wine fell into Qin Xu's mouth.
Ling Yi also drank the pot of wine in his hand.
"Happy!" Qin Xu threw the jug in his hand, and the jade jug fell to the ground with a crisp sound and shattered.
Then he sat on the chair, looked at Ling Yi and said with a smile: "The King of the East Sea will one day ascend to immortality and become enlightened. If you have a chance to meet him, I hope you will guide me regardless of past suspicions!"
"Mom, I'm here to accompany you..."
Before he could finish speaking, a strand of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth, a pair of slightly sparkling eyes opened, and a tear slowly slipped down the corner of his eyes.
Qin's second son, died.

A chapter in one go, almost 8,000 words, will not be split, the next chapter will be published in the evening.
