“This is the sixth time.”
Qin Yumo held the Snake Kiss Sword in his hand and looked at the two headless corpses with helplessness in his eyes.
For some reason, rumors have been spreading recently.
It is said that the brother-in-law obtained peerless magical skills and inherited the Dragon's Rising Land, thus becoming a peerless master in a short period of time.
This aroused the greed and covetousness of the people in the martial arts world, and they often lurked in the Qin Mansion, trying to steal the magic skills.
Unfortunately, there is no such thing as magical skills in this world. My brother-in-law was an unparalleled master in his previous life. Now he has just returned to normal. I don’t know where this rumor came from.
Xiao Xia also said viciously: "If I find out who spread the rumor, I will cut off his tongue!"
She hasn't had a good night's sleep in the past few days and nights.
Those gangsters are so abominable!
At this moment, Xu Qiu, who was sitting in the pavilion, suddenly picked up a leaf on the round table.
He pinched two fingers together, swung lightly towards a thick courtyard wall, and leaves shot out.
Bang! With a crisp sound, a small hole immediately appeared in the courtyard wall, smoke and dust floated out of the hole, as well as a trace of blood.
Behind the courtyard wall, a first-rate warrior covered his chest with his hands, his face full of fear, and then slowly fell down.
Xu Qiu continued to raise the teacup and took a sip.
This is a simple sentence, "Look, they need someone to take good care of them."
Then he looked towards the center of the yard, where Qin Jianjia was sitting cross-legged.
She was sitting in the center of the spirit gathering array, absorbing the faint spiritual energy. Her strength was gradually increasing, and she was about to break through to the super grandmaster level.
A few days ago, Xu Qiu had already set up the spirit gathering array, but due to the damage to the broken jade, the spirit gathering array was only 30% of its original effectiveness.
It is estimated that within five days, we will be able to see Qin Jianjia who has cultivated spiritual energy.
Just at this moment.
Xiao Cui came over in a hurry.
A captain of the Imperial Guard followed behind him.
When he saw Xu Qiu, he bowed and there was a hint of admiration in his eyes.
But business was more important, so he cut to the chase: "Young elder, His Majesty was attacked by an assassin. Fortunately, nothing happened, but many of the royal guards were injured. Now I hope the young elder can help."
Qin Yumo, who was standing nearby, heard this and said indignantly: "These people are too much! They even dared to touch Sister An Lan!"
The captain of the Imperial Guards was sweating on his forehead.
Only people from the Qin family dare to address His Majesty by his name.
After all, with Xu Qiu around, the Qin family is no longer an ordinary family. It has obviously become a behemoth, and His Majesty has to be respectful when summoning Qin Shaoliang.
Fortunately, Qin Shaoliang resigned from his official position and became a free and easy man. Qin Jianjia was also not a general of Daqian, but the Holy Maiden of Qingluan Valley.
Therefore, it is still Your Majesty who nominally controls the government.
At this time, Xu Qiu slowly spoke, "These Jianghu people want the treasures of the Dragon Rising Land, and the emperor is not in their hearts."
After he finished speaking, he drank the tea in one gulp.
He said to Qin Jianjia, "My lady, it's time for you to get to work."
Hearing the voice, Qin Jianjia opened her eyes and tilted her head slightly.
"?"
There is a puzzled look on his face, and he looks soft and cute, just like a silly Alaska.
"Help suppress those unruly people in the capital and make them behave themselves."
Xu Qiu pointed at the captain of the Imperial Guard who was standing in the corner.
Qin Jianjia stood up, holding a female sword in her hand, without using a gun. The temperature around her dropped a few degrees as she walked.
The captain of the Imperial Guards suddenly felt a chill, as if he had entered cold autumn from early summer, and he couldn't help but shiver.
But he still asked: "General Qin... Ahem, Lady Saint, don't you need to bring a spear?"
"A sword is enough to deal with them."
After Qin Jianjia finished speaking, she left without looking back, like an iceberg beauty who wanted no one to approach her.
The captain of the Royal Guards followed happily and led the way.
Qin Yumo looked at her sister's back. The cold wind gave her goose bumps. She held her shoulders with both hands.
"I feel like my sister has become more and more like an iceberg recently. I can feel a bone-chilling coldness when I'm around her."
Xiao Xia nodded at the side, "The young lady's strength has become stronger."
Ever since the brother-in-law gave the eldest lady a new martial arts book, she has been able to cultivate strange energy.
Xiao Xia could clearly feel that the eldest lady's strength was growing rapidly. Even though she was only at the Grandmaster level now, she still felt unfathomable.
"Human air conditioner?"
Qin Yumo felt unfamiliar with this word.
However, Xu Qiu ignored him and just said, "I'll leave the Qin Mansion to you guys to guard."
"Brother-in-law, what are you going to do?"
"Go to the palace and talk to An Lan about her ancestral land."
Xu Qiu said casually, and his figure disappeared on the spot.
…
Night, the palace.
The lights are on.
Perhaps because of the assassin, the palace was filled with candles and lanterns.
An Lan looked around vigilantly, fearing that an assassin might suddenly break in and take her away.
After experiencing the purge by the imperial master, the imperial guards and imperial guards in the capital of Daqian were badly damaged. Now that the situation in the court has just stabilized, it is too difficult for the army in the capital to suppress the people in the martial arts world.
However, at this moment, a eunuch came over quickly in small steps.
"Your Majesty, the young elder of Qingluan Valley is here."
An Lan's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Hurry up and ask him to come in!"
The eunuch nodded and quickly invited people in.
Not long after, Xu Qiu appeared in front of An Lan. She breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed her vigilance.
"Why, is it difficult to sit on the throne of emperor?" Xu Qiu joked.
An Lan waved his hand hurriedly, "Sit down!"
When she said this, she felt something was wrong, as if it told others that she was enjoying the throne.
Then he quickly said, "No... Ahem, I am worried because of the recent events in the martial arts world... Half of the North Vietnamese delegation fled before, and they spread rumors, which led to all this now."
"I see." Xu Qiu found a chair and sat down. "Don't worry, I have asked Jianjia to help you guard the capital. They will behave themselves in no time."
An Lan didn't mind Xu Qiu sitting in front of her, and said gratefully: "Then thank you, young elder."
"I prefer you to call me Master Xu. The young elder has distanced us a little."
Xu Qiu said casually.
Hearing this, An Lan's face suddenly turned red and she nodded gently, "If you don't mind, I'll call you by your old name."
Xu Qiu said at this time: "By the way, I have another thing to do here."
"What is it?"
"The Land of Dragon Rising is also your royal ancestral land."
“…”
An Lan was quite speechless. He thought to himself, if there were great treasures there, wouldn't I, as the Emperor of Daqian, not know about it? And why would I be here in a daze for so many years?
The Daqian royal family was even more vulnerable to being slaughtered.
When she wanted to speak, she told Xu Qiu about the situation.
Xu Qiu suddenly raised the teacup and threw it into the air. The teacup shot out like a bullet and went towards the eaves.
The next second, a black figure fell from the eaves.
The ground was stained with blood. An assassin covered his chest and struggled for a while before finally dying.
Soon, he was dragged away by the royal guards who broke in, and a maid wiped the blood stains on the ground.
When it was quiet, Xu Qiu said:
"Don't worry, I'm just curious about why the Wu Sect is so interested in your ancestral land, so I went to take a look and, by the way, lure you into a trap and help reduce the number of people in the martial arts world."
"Please walk into the trap?"
An Lan was puzzled.
"Well, they've been bothering me a lot lately, so I'm going to trick you into giving me your ancestral land so we can solve the problem once and for all."
Xu Qiu crossed his legs, raised the hot tea that the palace maid had just handed over, sniffed it, took a sip and said.
An Qin was a little worried when he heard this. "Can we handle so many of them? Officials down there reported that at least hundreds of people from the underworld come to Beijing every day."
"Don't worry, they are just a mob."
Xu Qiu said calmly.
