Chapter 403 Return to Fangqiao County
"Great uncle!" Qin Zitang called out to the angry Qin Longzhen, then he looked at Qin Zai Yan calmly and said, "If I can be sacrificed in exchange for the safety of the family, I will definitely be willing, but the elders of the Zai Yan clan should not forget the character of the prince.
He is narrow-minded, cruel, and vindictive. Do you think he really has a special liking for me? He just hates me for rejecting him before. If I really take the initiative to offer myself to him, he will only become more arrogant and proud, and will only torture and humiliate me in every way!
He will continue to suppress the Qin family, because he not only wants to avenge our enmity with him, but also because he knows very well that the former head of our Qin family and several elders did not die at the hands of the great demon general, but died at the hands of the Xie family and others.
The elders of the Yan clan should know who is behind the Xie family, the Che family, and the Gan family, right? With such a deep hatred, do you think the prince can rest assured if our Qin family joins them?
Besides, the prince wants to destroy our Qin family, but he wants our Qin family's Dragon Pond even more. Of course, we can also offer our Qin family's Dragon Pond to the prince.
But if he really does that, then our Qin family will probably completely lose the hope of rising again, and will decline even faster than if we had lost our foundation in the state capital. Then we will truly become fish on the chopping board, and we won't even have the capital to resist. He can kill us however he wants.
If we follow the advice of the head of the family and retreat to our ancestral land, even if the prince wants to destroy our Qin family, he has to think twice. At least we can injure him a little. If we are lucky enough, we can hold on until Xingjun and Zijiao enter the Dragon Pond and break through to become grandmasters. Then our Qin family will have the possibility to hold on to our ancestral land for a long time.
The Crown Prince's position is not yet secure, who knows if he will be overthrown one day? Moreover, the longer our Qin family holds on to our ancestral land, the greater the blow to the Crown Prince's prestige. By then, other forces will probably make a move, and our Qin family may have a chance to turn danger into safety."
Qin Zitang is now also a master in martial arts and has great influence in the Qin family. What's more, everything she says makes sense.
So after she finished speaking, the entire meeting hall fell silent again.
Everyone was in deep thought.
"It's settled! While the Crown Prince hasn't found a suitable reason to take action, the Qin family will withdraw from the state capital and defend their ancestral land.
Ever since my great-aunt said that she was going to draw lightning to temper her body, we have been preparing for a rainy day, secretly sending some of the Qin family's young talents to various places to hide under unknown names.
So even if we can't defend the Qin family's ancestral land, as long as our Qin family's bloodline is not cut off , we will one day regain our ancestral land! "The head of the family, Qin Zaixin, slowly swept his eyes over the crowd, and suddenly straightened his back. A powerful aura soared into the sky, revealing an incomparable determination.
"That's right. As long as our Qin family's bloodline continues to be cut off, the Qin family will not perish, and the Qin family will take back our ancestral land!" An old man slammed the table and shouted, his hair and beard all stood up like steel needles.
"If the prince wants to destroy my Qin family, we in the Qin family will break his bones and will never be so cowardly as to stick our heads out to him for him to chop off, let alone send our Qin family elders to him to be humiliated!" Another old man slammed the table and glared with anger.
"Even if my four organs are not fully refined, when the prince's army comes to attack, I will enter the Dragon Pool of my ancestral land to fight. The worst that can happen is death!" Qin Xingjun said proudly.
"That's right. At worst, I'll die with you!" said another genius, Qin Zijiao, proudly.
"The prince wants to destroy our Qin family, so come on!" a bearded man shouted.
“…”
The depressing and solemn atmosphere in the meeting hall was swept away.
Qin Zai Yan looked at the fighting spirit of the tribesmen, a bitter smile appeared on his face, and finally nodded and said: "Since surrender is impossible, we can only retreat to our ancestral land and prepare for a battle."
The next day.
The people of the Qin family in Wuzhou began to evacuate one after another, carrying important things.
Sutra Repository, fifth floor.
Qin Longzhen and Qin Zitang looked at the tribesmen below busy moving scriptures with complicated expressions.
"Great uncle, when do you think Jiang Guangquan will take action against our Qin family?" Qin Zitang asked.
"After all, he is the prince, and the Qin family is a prominent family in Wuzhou. Even if they want to take action, they have to find some magnificent and righteous reasons, and they have to mobilize some people in advance. So, even if they want to take action, it will take at least a month or two." Qin Longzhen replied.
"What about Ziling?" Qin Zitang asked.
"Fangqiao County is only a small county in the southwest border after all. When he came to the Qin family that year, he was very low-key. Not to mention the outside world, even in the Qin family, apart from the elders, few people knew about him.
So I found time to send someone to deliver a letter to him, asking him to keep a low profile and not reveal his relationship with the Qin family in Wuzhou, which can also be regarded as leaving roots for the Qin family. "Qin Longzhen said.
"He usually looks very low-key, cautious and life-loving, but in fact he values friendship very much. I'm afraid that if I send someone to notify him now, he will choose to rush to the Qin family in Wuzhou to help guard the ancestral land." Qin Zitang said.
"That's really possible. Let's wait a little longer. Anyway, with that kid's personality, even if you don't remind him, he won't be so high-profile and reveal his relationship with the Qin family of Wuzhou to everyone." Qin Longzhen said.
"Okay, I'll arrange someone in advance. Once the situation in Wuzhou changes, it won't be too late to notify him." Qin Zitang nodded.
…
Qin Ziling naturally didn't know that Qin Jianmei, the oldest survivor of the Qin family, had failed in the thunder tempering and that the Qin family was about to face the disaster of genocide.
After he left the flying boat alone, he was eager to return home.
So it was a rare opportunity for him to be so high-profile and fly into the air on his sword.
A golden rainbow passed through the sky, causing countless people to look up at the sky along the way.
The common people in some small places had never seen such a situation before, and they all knelt on the ground and kowtowed, calling on the gods.
"There are no immortals in the world, and immortals are nothing more than strong men!" Qin Ziling felt something as he flew fast on his sword and watched the people kneeling and kowtowing below.
Flying over mountains, rivers, states, counties and cities.
At night, Qin Ziling arrived at the Qin Mansion in Anhe Village.
After paying his respects to his mother and reassuring her, Qin Ziling rushed to the county magistrate's mansion with a burning desire in his heart.
Xiao Qing and Xia Yan were naturally delighted to see Qin Ziling return, and there were even tears in their eyes.
Xiao Qing is a strong woman with courage, her own ideas and responsibilities, so Qin Ziling did not hide the matter of going to the Wind and Thunder Barrier from her.
"These two months must have been extremely dangerous and difficult, right?" Xiao Qing leaned against Qin Ziling, gently touching his bearded face, and asked with concern.
"Not bad, you know my husband is very capable!" Qin Ziling grinned, then grabbed her hand and kissed it, saying: "I have something good. I guarantee that after you eat it and practice dual cultivation with me, you will definitely be able to break through and become a martial arts grandmaster."
After saying that, Qin Ziling looked at Xiao Qing with fiery eyes.
The threshold to becoming a martial arts grandmaster is still very difficult to cross. Even though Xiao Qing has a solid foundation and has taken a lot of nourishing foods, there are still some parts of his heart that have not been refined so far.
Xiao Qing's face suddenly turned red, and she pinched Qin Ziling's waist hard, while Xia Yan had already run away with a smile on her face to run the water to give the master a bath.
"What is this? Such pure and rich vitality!" In the room, Xiao Qing and Xia Yan looked at the two drops of golden liquid in Qin Ziling's hands, their eyes full of surprise.
"I don't know what it is either." Qin Ziling smiled and said, "Open your mouths."
Xiao Qing and Xia Yan blushed slightly and opened their mouths.
A flash of golden light flashed by and fell into their mouths.
Soon, their skin became more rosy and smooth, and they exuded an indescribable alluring aura.
At this moment, Qin Ziling couldn't tell the specific ages of the two people at all. They had both the youthful charm of a young girl and the charming grace of a mature young woman.
Qin Ziling's heart was pounding, and his blood was boiling...
After several ups and downs.
Qin Ziling and Xia Yan both looked quietly at Xiao Qing who was sitting naked and cross-legged.
Her energy and blood strength are constantly rising.
The vitality in her body is also rising.
The air in the whole room was vibrating at this moment, the hanging bead curtains were rustling, and the whole room was full of vitality.
Although it was late at night and there were no plants or flowers, it gave people the feeling that the sun was shining and the garden was full of spring.
An indescribably elegant and natural pattern, resembling that of asparagus fern, gradually emerged on Xiao Qing's chest.
The ever-increasing vitality emanates from the pattern that resembles the elegant asparagus fern.
"You take care of Xiao Qing. I'll prepare something for her." Seeing that Xiao Qing was still "open-minded", Qin Ziling remembered something and told Xia Yan about it. Then he put on his clothes and left the room.
Outside the house is a large back garden.
Qin Ziling took out a large piece of meat from a sixth-grade intermediate-level exotic beast from the cave world and began to grill it over a fire.
Once the heart is refined, it is like having an additional sea of qi and blood in the body, which can accommodate greatly more qi and blood.
So when Qin Ziling broke through to become a martial arts grandmaster in the wind and thunder barrier, he felt extremely hungry and ate a lower-level sixth-grade exotic beast and a higher-level fifth-grade exotic beast as a snack before he stopped.
Now that Xiao Qing has made a breakthrough, Qin Ziling of course needs to make some preparations in advance.
The aroma of roasted meat of a sixth-grade intermediate exotic beast wafted through the garden.
Sure enough, Xiao Qing soon pushed the door open and walked out, staring at the golden barbecue on the grill.
"What kind of barbecue is this? It feels so energetic!" Xiao Qing swallowed and asked.
Qin Ziling smiled, moved a chair over for Xiao Qing to sit down, then used a knife to cut off some roasted meat and handed it to Xiao Qing, and replied lightly: "The meat of a sixth-grade intermediate-level exotic beast."
Xiao Qing's hand, which had just taken the barbecue, couldn't help but tremble, and her butt almost slipped off the chair.
"A sixth-grade intermediate-level exotic beast!" When Xia Yan, who came out right after, heard this, her legs went weak and she almost couldn't stand.
A sixth-grade intermediate-level exotic beast is equivalent to a mid-level Xuan master!
Even if Xiao Qing has become a great master of martial arts, and is a remarkable woman who has dispersed and condensed her energy twice and refined 177 bones, she will still have no way out when facing a sixth-grade intermediate monster.
But now, Qin Ziling actually roasted the meat of a sixth-grade intermediate exotic beast for her to eat!
