"It's good to come back, it's good to come back." Qiong Shuyao hugged Qin Shi and hummed softly, then lowered her head, held Qin Shi's cheeks with her two jade hands, and said softly: "Quick, let me see Look, have you lost weight this year?"
"Don't worry, mother, the child is no longer a child."
"Why not? You will always be just a child here with me." Qiong Shuyao pretended to be angry, but she immediately laughed out loud and shook her head: "Oh, it's true, you are really old, you are already a father. , You can no longer do anything casually in the future, you know? You must set a good example for Jin Yan."
"The kid knows." Qin Shi scratched his head and laughed like a child.
"This feeling of going home, it's been such a long time." Leaving Qiong Shuyao's arms, Qin Shi leaned alone on the crooked neck tree in Qin's courtyard. This crooked neck tree had grown on him since he was born. Here, the Qin family has experienced several wars. Of those potted plants, he was the only one left standing here. Qin Shi stroked him a few times: "Old guy, no matter when, you always stand upright like this. Do you think it is your pride to grow up in the Qin family?"
"Actually, I am too. It's great to be born in the Qin family."
"Hey, Shitou, why are you so sentimental after not seeing each other for a year?" Lin Yu and Su Ming came forward. Lin Yu patted Qin Shi on the shoulder, and the two brothers hugged each other.
"Do people always have to change?" Qin Shi shrugged, and then he smiled at Lin Yu: "Say, how does it feel to be an emperor? Isn't it particularly comfortable?"
"If you feel comfortable, come and do it. I'm almost going crazy from the torture." Lin Yu glared angrily: "If my mother didn't agree, I would have given up the throne long ago, and then share the throne with you." To conquer the world, that’s the life I want.”
"Haha, you, just be your emperor. My life is not suitable for you." Qin Shi patted Lin Yu's shoulder, then looked around and was stunned for a moment: "By the way, why didn't you see it? Zhou Qin?"
"She is recuperating in the imperial city. She is about to give birth."
"Ah?" Qin Shi was stunned and exclaimed: "No way? Wasn't it a year ago that Zhou Qin was about to give birth? This year has passed, why hasn't she given birth yet? Nezha?"
Hearing this, Su Ming and others looked at each other from the side and couldn't help laughing. Lin Yu was immediately furious and cursed angrily: "Go away, that one gave birth to a son a long time ago, and now he is the second son." fetal."
"Second child?" Qin Shi suddenly thought about it, but he didn't argue with Lin Yu. He patted Lin Yu on the shoulder and said, "Okay, I will be the father of two children soon. You You’re still thinking about taking on the world with me, so just calm down.”
"I didn't see the first child. This is the second child. It's unjustifiable for me as an uncle not to give him anything. This military order should be regarded as a gift for his birth." Qin Shi paused. , with a wave of his hand, a military order was held out of his palm, with a lifelike white tiger engraved on it, which was very majestic.
Seeing this military order, Lin Yu frowned, took it over and looked at it carefully, and was shocked: "Is this the military order of the Beast King Empire?"
After being an emperor for a year, he fought roundabout wars and psychological warfare with the various empires every day. Naturally, he had to fight several times. Lin Yu could see at a glance that this military order was the military order that symbolized the military power of the Empire of Beasts. With this military order in hand, the Beast King's millions of troops will bow their heads.
Qin Shi nodded with a smile: "Well, the emperor of the Beast King Empire is dead, and the Tiger family has all disappeared. Now the Beast King is leaderless. When I come back, I will arrange everything for the border general over there: Liu Changhu, wait until you When you are free, arrange for someone to go over and hand over the situation. You can reuse that Liu Changhu, which will be of great help in winning people's hearts."
Lin Yu, no, not just Lin Yu, Su Ming and others were all shocked. Su Ming and others had participated in the battle of the Beast King, and they knew the strength of the Hu family very well, especially the Tiger Flame, half a step for eight days, Although Qin Shi is no longer what he used to be, it is not enough to uproot the entire Tiger clan, right
Seeing the surprise of several people, Qin Shi said calmly: "Don't think too much, I did not destroy the Tiger clan. They should have been used by others. I am not very clear about this matter, but I believe that in the end One day the truth will come to light."
"However, in the Baichao area, the Beast King Empire has a strong foundation, even higher than that of the Baichao. If it can recruit Chiyan, it will be of great help to Chiyan." Qin Shi continued.
But Lin Yu immediately shook his head and returned the general power to Qin Shi: "I can't have this, he is too valuable."
Qin Shi was stunned: "Haha, what? We haven't seen each other for a year, and now you are polite to me? This is not like you."
"I'm not being polite to you, but you are not alone now. You have the Qin family and the Qin Zong behind you. Such a huge military power will be of great help to the Qin Zong. I can't ask for it." Lin Yu shook his head.
Qin Shi was stunned when he heard this, and immediately realized it, but he smiled: "Qin Zong, don't worry, I have my own arrangements for them. This kind of empire and military power is not suitable for Qin Zong. Qin Zong is just a force. If it were a sect's military power, I wouldn't give it to you, but this kind of empire? Military power needs to control tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of Liming people, and to take care of their safety, Qin Zong can't do it."
"The sect leader is right, this kind of military power is of no use to our Qin Sect." Ling Xiao walked over from the side and smiled at Lin Yu: "Take it, the Beast King Empire is more suitable for Chi Yan."
When Ling Xiao said this, Lin Yu was embarrassed.
But suddenly, Qin Shi said: "Let me ask you, if my Qin Zong is in danger now, will you stand by and watch?"
"That's naturally impossible!" Lin Yu immediately said excitedly: "Chi Yan and Qin Zong are from the same family. If Qin Zong is in danger, I, Chi Yan, will definitely help!"
"That's alright, since we are all said to be one family, who should this military order be given to? It is still a problem for whom it will fall on. Let your kid bear the trouble." Qin Shi laughed out loud after taking the words. He patted Lin Yu's shoulder trustfully and said seriously: "I believe you will become a wise king. The Beast King will be better in your hands than in my hands."
"I… !"
Lin Yu opened his mouth, and Su Ming suddenly spoke next to him: "Lin Yu, Shitou said so, just take it. Do you want to give it to me? I will get this military order and go back to be a local emperor. Then When the time comes, won’t you let me choose beauties? When the time comes, I will choose seventy-two concubines from the Three Palaces and Six Courts, all of them more beautiful and virtuous than Zhou Qin. Don’t you regret it to death?”
"Go away!" Lin Yu scolded angrily. Qin Shi shook his head helplessly beside him. This year has passed, and Su Ming is still thinking about this matter
"Oops! Who are you scolding?" Su Ming suddenly became unhappy and rolled up his sleeves, as if he was going to take action: "I really can't stand my little temper. Don't you know? …!”
But before he finished speaking, everyone looked at each other, and in a tacit understanding, they all took it and smiled at Su Ming: "There is someone above you!"
"That's pretty much it!" Su Ming snorted, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
"Haha, it's so familiar. I haven't heard this sentence for a long time." Qin Shi's black eyes showed some warmth.
Lin Yu let out a long sigh and finally accepted the Beast King's military power. Immediately, he bowed to Qin Shi seriously. Although Qin Shi said it was a trouble, only he knew how valuable this military power was. If he took it It would be of inestimable value to any country in the Hundred Chaos, so he thanked Qin Shi sincerely: "Between brothers, I won't say anything more. Anyway, thank you."
Qin Shi smiled and nodded: "That's right."
After that, Qin Shi returned to the direction of Qin Zong. He had been away for a year. Qin Zong had many trivial matters waiting for him to deal with.
At night, in a conference hall, Qin Shi was sitting in the high hall. Jade Rakshasa had recovered at this time, holding a cup of hot tea and handed it to Qin Shi. Qin Shi took it gently. The two of them didn't say anything, they just looked at each other. He smiled indifferently, but it was as if he had been talking all night, and everything was left unsaid.
Under the high hall, Ling Xiao, Cen Chi, Ling Xiao, Mo Chen, and all the great elders of the Qin Sect gathered here. They all respected Qin Shi. Ling Xiao even recalled Li Huo a few years ago. , looking at Qin Zong now, he felt like he was in a dream.
All this is because of Qin Shi.
And this group of people even remember Qin Shi’s magnificent words at that time: My Qin Sect’s goal is not the northern region, but the entire empire, and even the entire world!
And everything seems to be moving in this direction.
Qin Shi took a sip of tea and gently put the cup down. He stood up first and bowed to everyone sincerely: "Everyone, thank you for your hard work this year. Qin Zong is proud to have you."
"Sect Master, don't say that!" Ling Xiao and others stopped Qin Shi in panic, and said hurriedly: "Yes, if it weren't for you, there would be no Qin Sect now. You are our pride."
Qin Shi stood up with a smile and asked: "How is the Qin Sect internally this year?"
"According to the instructions given by the sect leader when he left, although there are not many disciples in the sect now, there are only a few hundred thousand, but among these 300,000, all have gone through many tests and are guaranteed to be disciples who have no second thoughts towards Qin Zong." Ling Xiao general Qin Zong The list was handed to Qin Shi.
Qin Shi took one look and was very satisfied.
After that, Mo Chen summarized Qin Zong's income and expenses for the year, as well as Qin Zong's current savings, and handed them to Qin Shi.
Qin Shi held the list and his eyelids couldn't help but twitch. It was definitely an unimaginable huge amount of money. Qin Shi could not count the spiritual stones alone.
"Gulu." This made him choke hard and said in surprise: "It's only been a year, how can you have so much savings?"
In his impression, even if Qin Zong is very large, it is impossible for his annual income to reach this much. Compared with this huge sum of money, I am afraid that the entire Chiyan cannot reach it in one year, right
"It's Wumen Auction House."
