Chapter 170 Do They Listen to Me?
Qin Sheng was used to kneeling in the ancestral hall. After entering the hall and closing the door, he skillfully jumped onto the beam and lay down.
He looked down at the Qin Huai Shu and said, asking for a beating: "I'm sorry, big brother. It's always because of me that I enter the ancestral hall."
Qin Huaishu has always been a child of other people's families. He has been very outstanding and sensible since he was a child, and he has never been locked up in the ancestral hall for making mistakes.
Every time I entered the ancestral hall in history was because of Qin Sheng.
Qin Huaishu didn't care. He took a few incense sticks and placed them on the candle to light them. "Why are you saying these things? Besides, this matter has nothing to do with you."
"This is my own decision. If I insist on saying it, I will only burden you."
"I hope Xiaosheng won't blame me."
Qin Sheng chuckled and pointed to the beam opposite: "Brother, are you coming up?"
Qin Huaishu thought about it and realized that hiding on the beam and being lazy was not his style.
However, Qin Sheng was about to leave, and it was a rare opportunity for the two brothers to be alone together, so he had a lot to say to Qin Sheng.
So after lighting the incense, he jumped up and sat on another beam.
Qin Sheng raised his eyebrows: "Brother, your martial arts skills are still as strong as before, still so agile."
Qin Huaishu smiled and said, "It's only been a few years since I retired, so I wouldn't have forgotten everything."
Qin Sheng sighed with emotion: "We practiced martial arts together back then. My elder brother was older than me and followed me to the battlefield when I was still young."
"Since then, it's only my second brother and I who remain in the mansion. He's too busy with things outside to care about me. It's so lonely in such a huge Qin Mansion with only my mother and me."
Qin Huaishu pursed his lips. When he heard Qin Sheng talk about his childhood, his heart felt like it was stabbed by something.
He said, "Your second brother...he couldn't do anything under the circumstances, but he was also trying to find a way out for the Qin family."
“Although I didn’t do anything during that time, I figured out my future path.”
Qin Sheng sighed, his eyelashes drooping: "Yes, I am not as smart as my eldest brother, nor as insightful as my second brother..."
Qin Huaishu interrupted him: "Why do you think so little of yourself? Your second brother and I are planning our future, and you're planning your future. How can you be inferior to us?"
"In my opinion, Xiaosheng is more insightful than the rest of us."
"We were just struggling. Who knew what the future would hold? Success and failure seemed so far away at that time."
"If we look at it from that perspective, the Qin family's chances of failure were actually much greater."
"Although you are planning for your afterlife, you are also able to take care of the future. Your second brother and I cannot compare to you in this respect."
Qin Sheng raised the corners of his lips, but sneered: "Brother always fools me like this."
Qin Huaishu also laughed: "How can it be called deception? It's just the truth."
Qin Sheng raised an eyebrow and sat up, facing Qin Huaishu: "Oh? Really? Then, big brother, tell me, where did those people who inexplicably appeared outside the city a few days ago come from?"
"Brother, tell me again, why did you receive many messages before the emperor did?"
Qin Huaishu blinked: "Is there?"
Qin Sheng frowned: "Brother, are you going to hide this from me too?"
Seeing Qin Sheng like that, Qin Huaishu smiled, reached out from his sleeve, took out a black token and threw it to Qin Sheng, who reached out to catch it.
Looking at the black token, he was a little confused.
Just looking at the material and craftsmanship, it is definitely not an ordinary token.
Qin Huaishu didn't explain too much, just said: "Keep it and don't lose it. You will need it someday in the future."
"If you encounter any trouble during this expedition, just go find the manager of the White Jade Tower. He will do his best to help you solve any problems he can. If he can't, he will inform me as soon as possible."
Qin Sheng frowned again, and tightened his grip on the token: "Brother, are you still not going to explain to me?"
Qin Huaishu shook his head: "A small victory. Although the Qin family is much better now, it is not really out of danger."
"When the Qin family can stand upright in the government, I will come and apologize to you and explain the matter in detail."
Qin Sheng glared at him, obviously dissatisfied with Qin Huaishu's arrangement.
Qin Huaishu sighed, and he could see it, but he just comforted her, "Have you forgotten what my eldest brother told you? Just do what you want to do, and leave the rest to me and your second brother."
Knowing that Qin Huaishu would never tell anyone, what else could Qin Sheng do?
She could only glare at him and then lie down sideways with her back to Qin Huaishu.
Qin Huaishu smiled, but a strange emotion flashed in the depths of his eyes, but it disappeared in an instant. No one knew what he was thinking.
Chu Yian fell asleep quickly after getting on the bed, and had no idea whether Qin Sheng had returned or not.
When I opened my eyes and looked at the neatly arranged soft couch, I knew that Qin Sheng probably hadn't come back all night.
I touched my increasingly smart head and felt that Qin Sheng and Qin Huaishu might both be punished. What was going on?
Chu Yian took a breath and didn't care.
After washing up, I ran around in the yard.
To be honest, she is very lazy even when it comes to practicing martial arts. She has to make good use of the time after Qin Sheng leaves.
After running for a while, Chu Yian took a quick shower and changed his clothes and hurried to the main courtyard. Qin Sheng and Qin Huaishu were there.
Seeing that the two of them were fine, Chu Yian felt relieved. After greeting everyone, he walked over to Qin Sheng, sat down, tugged at his clothes, and asked in a low voice, "Have you been punished again?"
Qin Sheng was surprised, and he also touched Chu Yian's increasingly smart head, feeling very pleased: "That's great, my little Anzi is getting smarter and smarter."
Chu Yian: ...
Chu Yian slapped Qin Sheng's hand away, glared at him, and said through gritted teeth: "I have always been very smart."
Qin Sheng's eyes were full of smiles: "Yeah, that's right. If it weren't for Xiao Anzi, many things would be difficult to do."
Chu Yian then smiled with satisfaction. Although she knew that Qin Sheng was just trying to coax her, she was still very happy.
Duke Qin observed the young couple calmly, and when he saw that their relationship didn't seem to be affected at all and they were doing fine, he finally felt relieved.
He looked at Qin Huaishu again and saw that although Qin Huaishu was looking at them, there was no inappropriate emotion in his eyes. Instead, there was a bit of doting in his eyes. He finally felt relieved.
He was really afraid that the two brothers would cause unrest in the entire Qin family and that Chu Yian would suffer any grievances.
When will Qin Sheng deal with those messy people outside?
Duke Qin got a headache when he thought of those people. Each of those men was of noble status. To be honest, he was shocked when Qin Sheng made all of them his own.
He felt that those people were blind and had problems with their brains, otherwise they would not all like Qin Sheng and tolerate the existence of other people.
At the same time, I also feel that Qin Sheng is indeed very capable.
But now that things have come to this...I still have to find a way to sort out those relationships bit by bit.
But we have to wait until we come back. I am about to go on a long journey, and now is obviously not a critical time.
Everyone was gathered and started eating.
After eating, Qin Sheng and Duke Qin were about to leave for the military camp.
As Qin Sheng just stood up, Chu Yian quickly put down the bowl in his hand and stood up: "Qin Sheng, let's go out together."
Qin Sheng was stunned for a moment: "It's still early, do you want to go out?"
Chu Yian nodded: "Well, I want to shop more and buy some things."
When she said this, Qin Sheng understood that Chu Yian was going to prepare things for him to use in the expedition, and the corners of his lips unconsciously rose.
Duke Qin felt it was not appropriate to walk with the young couple, so he left first.
Leave Qin Sheng and Chu Yian to walk behind.
Chu Yian rolled his eyes and asked Qin Sheng in a low voice: "Do you have any secret guards with very strong martial arts skills?"
Qin Sheng nodded: "Yes, there are some around you, but you just haven't noticed it."
"I've sent Qin Er, Qin San, Qin Wu, and Qin Liu to your side. Is that enough? If not, I'll arrange a few more."
Chu Yian's eyes lit up when he heard this: "That's enough, absolutely enough, no need to make any further arrangements."
"That's right, do these people... listen to me?"
Qin Sheng glanced at her and almost instantly understood what Chu Yian meant. He smiled and didn't take it to heart: "Don't worry, if you don't want them to spread anything, just tell them."
"Even if I asked them, they wouldn't open their mouths."
The Qin family's secret guards have all received strict training. Although Qin Sheng is the master, he knows that Chu Yian has some secrets that he doesn't want him to know.
These secret guards stayed by her side naturally to follow Chu Yian's orders.
It would be fine if there was nothing I specifically reminded you of, but if someone specifically reminded me of something, I would definitely not say anything nonsense.
Chu Yian opened his mouth, a little embarrassed: "Ah? You guessed it again, Xiao Shengzi is really smart."
Qin Sheng: ...
Qin Sheng rolled his eyes at her in annoyance and said, "Don't give me that. But they are worried about your safety after all. They are the Qin family's secret guards, so they will tell us if they are unsure."
"If there's anything you don't want us to know, please remember to let us know."
Chu Yian nodded like a chick pecking at rice, very obedient: "Yeah, yeah, I remember it, Xiao Shengzi, you are such a nice person."
Her mission was to force-feed pills to people, so it was certainly not something she could let other people know about.
It’s better to do it quietly by yourself.
