"Gu Lin, don't you think there's something strange about the Qin family?"
Before going to sleep, Jiang Yu slowly spoke, clearly not understanding the Qin family's current actions.
"Does Ayu feel the same way?" Gu Lin lay down on the bed with Jiang Yu. "Given the proud nature of the Qin family patriarch, how could he possibly tolerate his son becoming a prisoner?"
"Could it be that something happened to the head of the Qin family?"
Jiang Yu gripped Gu Lin's sleeve. "Something's definitely up to no good. We'd be more at ease if we found out the truth."
"Yes, I'll have Linghai investigate tomorrow."
A familiar, sweet fragrance wafted over, and Gu Lin was immediately distracted.
First his breathing became hot, then he rolled over and planted a kiss on Jiang Yu's forehead.
"Ayu, you're three months pregnant now. Mei Chu said that after three months you can..."
"Gu Lin, aren't you afraid of hurting the child?"
Jiang Yu was both embarrassed and angry, and used her hands to block Gu Lin's movements.
Gu Lin kept touching Jiang Yu with his lips, saying, "Okay, Yu, let's be gentle."
Before long, Jiang Yu was dragged down by Gu Lin.
The next day, Jiang Yu slept until the sun was high in the sky, while Gu Lin practiced martial arts in the courtyard with a satisfied look on his face.
"My lord."
When Ling Hai arrived, Gu Lin sheathed his sword and even performed a stylish sword flourish. "What's up? Is there any news?"
"My lord, we have received reliable information that the Qin family patriarch has suddenly fallen into a coma, reportedly due to a sudden emotional breakdown caused by the previous incident involving Qin Zheng."
"He fell unconscious at this time?"
Gu Lin subconsciously pondered for a moment, "Then who's in charge of the Qin family now?"
"Second Master of the Qin Family".
"So he's just a good-for-nothing playboy." Gu Lin curled his lips upon hearing the name of Second Master Qin. It was truly as if heaven was helping him.
The shrewd and capable head of the Qin family is unconscious, and the power of the Qin family has fallen into the hands of an incompetent fool?
Gu Lin couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Ling Hai, you're doing this..."
If Wei Ruo were here at this moment, she would definitely think that the method Gu Lin came up with was no less ruthless than the methods Jiang Yu and Gu Qingyan came up with a few days ago.
It's true what they say, birds of a feather flock together.
"I'll take care of it right away."
After Ling Hai left, Gu Lin glanced in the direction of the room and strode inside.
"Ayu, it's time to get up. I have some good news to tell you."
Gu Lin pinched Jiang Yu's nose, and Jiang Yu immediately struggled free, "Gu Lin, you bastard."
"Cough cough..."
Gu Lin touched the tip of his nose, looking rather embarrassed. "If we don't get up soon, our stomachs will start growling."
After another fifteen minutes, Jiang Yu finally got up, still looking like she hadn't woken up yet.
"Didn't you say you had good news?"
In front of the bronze mirror, Jiang Yu's skin was even more delicate than before, and Gu Lin was already able to draw her eyebrows with great skill.
"The Qin family patriarch is unconscious, and the one in power now is that good-for-nothing second son."
"That's actually good news."
A smile suddenly bloomed on Jiang Yu's face. "Truly, Heaven is helping my Great Yu."
......
Qin Zheng didn't even have time to rest; after inspecting one tunnel, he immediately went to inspect the next one.
At first, Qin Zheng was able to grit his teeth and say that these things had nothing to do with the Qin family.
But when they arrived at a tunnel not far from Fengshan, Qin Zheng fell silent as he looked at the arrows he had found inside.
“This arrow is exquisitely crafted, made of fine iron,” Ling Ku said loudly. “I think there are very few places in the world that can make such an arrow, not even my Great Yu can make such an arrow.”
“More importantly, Young Master Qin, this arrow seems to have a unique mark of your Qin family on it.”
"Hmph." Qin Zheng chuckled. "Now you all know the power of the Qin family."
Upon hearing this, Ling Ku's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately whistled. A white dove then flew over.
"What are you trying to do?" Qin Zheng immediately became alert.
"Thank you very much, Young Master Qin."
Ling Ku clasped his hands in a fist salute to Qin Zheng; they were just waiting for Qin Zheng to admit it.
Two days later, Dayu launched a large-scale attack on Jianghuai. The reason for this was that the young master of the Qin family had personally admitted that there were specially made arrows of the Qin family in the Dayu tunnels.
The army of 100,000 men rushed towards Jianghuai like a surprise attack, catching the Qin family completely off guard.
"Second Master, what should we do now?"
The elders of the Qin family gathered together, all of them stamping their feet in anxiety.
"Immediately mobilize troops to meet the enemy."
Master Qin's voice trembled slightly as he spoke; the Qin family must not be ruined in his hands...
In this battle, it seemed that the battle between Dayu and the Qin family was evenly matched, but in the end, Bai Qian took the initiative to lead her people to withdraw from Jianghuai. The corpses in Jianghuai were piled up on the ground, and the casualties of the Qin family were incalculable.
"General, you could have pressed your advantage and wiped out the Qin family, so why did you choose to withdraw your troops?"
“The Qin family is, after all, a century-old family. If they are pushed to the brink and fight us to the death, it will be a loss for them.” Bai Qian rode her horse, her eyes filled with a sharp look. “Why not fight a battle like this? That way, the whole world will be able to believe that the Qin family is no match for our Great Yu.”
Regarding the fate of aristocratic families, submission is the best policy, while annihilation is the worst.
"This subordinate understands."
"Let's go, give the soldiers an extra meal tonight!"
......
The Qin family.
"Mei'er, didn't you say that medicine would only make my brother weak for a few days?"
Master Qin frantically searched for Mei'er, his eyes bloodshot, "Why can't my elder brother wake up no matter what I do?"
Mei'er seemed to be frightened as well. "Second Master... is that medicine really only meant to make someone weak for a few days? Could it be that the head of the family was already in poor health, which is why he hasn't been able to wake up yet?"
"What a blunder, I shouldn't have given it to my elder brother..."
Master Qin slammed his fist on the table in regret. Now that the Qin family had suffered another defeat, who in the world would still believe that the Qin family had the strength to fight against Da Yu? He couldn't afford to take on this mess.
"What does it matter to you, Second Master, if we can't defeat Da Yu?"
Mei'er tentatively spoke up, "If the head of the family had taken the initiative earlier, wouldn't they have been defeated sooner? In my opinion, you have actually bought the Qin family some time."
Qin Erye's emotions were gradually calmed down, but what he didn't know was that in a battle between two armies, the deployment of troops and generals plays an extremely important role.
Given his haphazard and arbitrary way of doing things, the Qin family's strength will be reduced by at least half.
"Second Master, don't blame yourself too much. If we wait a little longer, the head of the family might wake up."
"This is the only way."
Qin Erye collapsed weakly onto the bed, realizing that being the head of the family was such a troublesome matter.
Brother, you should wake up soon.
I heard that Zheng'er was even taken prisoner and forced to identify the tunnels...
Thinking of this, the veins on Qin Erye's forehead began to throb.
