Movie: Get Alpha Dog at the start

Chapter 836 Meeting at the Qing Temple
The area around the Qing Temple had already been cleared by palace officials. When the carriage arrived, there was no one in sight. Qin Hao followed Emperor Qing out of the carriage and entered the Qing Temple.

This was the first time Qin Hao saw a temple since he came to the world of Joy of Life.

In the world of Joy of Life, there is neither Buddhism nor Taoism, and even no Confucianism. The only things that are worshipped are temples.

The temple in front of us is located in the capital city and is also the largest temple in Qing State. In the center of the temple stands a towering hall with flying eaves and pointed corners, decorated with copper bells. When the breeze blows, the bells sound clear and melodious, like a complaint or a song. The murals on the walls around the hall are painted vividly, a bit like ancient myths and legends.

Emperor Qing seemed to have noticed that Qin Hao was very interested in the murals on the wall, so he asked curiously.

"Qin Aiqing has never seen the Qing Temple before?"

Qin Hao cupped his hands and said, "I've never seen this before."

Emperor Qing lit three incense sticks and spoke while worshiping.

"When the world was first separated, giant beasts roamed the world. The people in the temple came to the world with great power and virtue, passing on writing and etiquette to the world, helping the world to open up mountains and seas, and establish the foundation of the human race. We, the descendants, should have a sense of awe and not blaspheme."

Qin Hao pondered secretly, according to the world view of Joy of Life, the so-called separation of heaven and earth should be after the extinction of prehistoric civilization, the revival of the great ice age, the receding tide, and the emergence of the continent. The surviving ancestors of mankind believed that it was the gods who created the world, and as for the rampant behemoths, either some animals mutated their genes after being eroded by nuclear radiation, or some marine creatures acquired the ability to survive on land during the long process of evolution.

As for the people in the temple who came to the world with power and virtue, it should be the "Heavenly Veins" of the temple who brought heavy weapons left over from prehistoric times to help humans kill giant beasts and gain a place to survive. However, the purpose of the temple is to keep humans in the era of cold weapons.

Therefore, what have been passed down are some ethical and moral stories such as the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues, so that mankind will always be trapped in the feudal period, following the historical law that the world will eventually unite after a long period of division and will eventually divide after a long period of unification.

If there was any sign of the use of firearms, it would probably be quickly killed by people sent by the temple, until Ye Qingmei appeared.

In fact, to be honest, in the world of Joy of Life, Ye Qingmei is definitely a "big devil". It would have been fine if she had just run away, but she also messed up the temple (which is also the military museum), and kidnapped the strongest robot Wu Zhu, making the temple unable to interfere with the historical process of the outside world for a long time.

Emperor Qing frowned when he saw Qin Hao wandering around the hall and having no intention of burning incense or offering sacrifices.

"You guys go out first, I'll stay here for a while."

Qin Hao and Gong Dian looked at each other and walked out of the hall.

"Junior Brother Qin, you shouldn't have been disrespectful to the temple just now. If you don't respect the authority of God, how can you respect the authority of the emperor?" Gong Dian reminded him earnestly.

Qin Hao bowed to Gong Dian. No matter which faction Gong Dian belonged to, he was still nice to him.

Gong Dian patted Qin Hao on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Brother Qin has been practicing with Uncle Ye since he was young, and he is used to being free and unfettered. But now that you have entered the capital to pursue a career in government, you must learn to keep a low profile, especially in front of His Majesty, and be extremely careful with every word and action."

"Thank you, senior brother, for the tip."

"We are all family, so you don't have to be polite, Junior Brother Qin."

Just as the two were exchanging greetings, a group of palace maids suddenly walked in from the side door of the Qing Temple.

Qin Hao frowned: "Brother, didn't the guards clear the area? Why did they let him in so brazenly?"

"This should be His Majesty's intention. Judging from the clothes of these palace maids, they should be from the royal courtyard. The people who came should be Lin Wan'er, the illegitimate daughter of the eldest princess and the current Prime Minister Lin. You and I should just pretend that we didn't see it and don't meddle in other people's business."

Lin Wan'er? An idea suddenly occurred to Qin Hao. Emperor Qing was offering sacrifices at the temple, and Lin Wan'er was also there. The timeline matched. This meant that Fan Xian should be arriving soon.

From the beginning to the end, Fan Xian was a chess piece of Emperor Qing. The chicken leg girl and love at first sight, to put it bluntly, were all carefully arranged by Emperor Qing. This temple sacrifice was actually a blind date arranged by Emperor Qing for Fan Xian.

Just as Qin Hao fell into deep thought, a woman in flowing white clothes walked into the Qing Temple surrounded by palace maids.

The woman in white has fair and delicate skin, as pink as a newly blossomed peach, delicate and harmonious facial features, soft lines without losing the three-dimensional sense, straight nose, full and elastic lips, and when she smiles, the corners of her mouth slightly rise, revealing a pair of dimples, sweet and charming, and her eyes are extremely gentle and peaceful, like ripples on a calm lake, both implicit and affectionate. Her eyelashes are long and thick, and the slight trembling of her eyelashes adds a bit of cuteness and agility to her clear eyes.

I have to say that Emperor Qing's plan was really comprehensive. With such beauty, it's no wonder that Fan Xian was confused. The so-called love at first sight is actually just lust at first sight. If it was a woman with average looks, how could Fan Xian be willing to be ordered around by Emperor Qing and take the risk to go to Northern Qi to send Sean off?

Lin Wan'er seemed to have noticed Qin Hao's unscrupulous gaze. She lowered her head like a frightened little rabbit, turned into the side hall and disappeared.

Gong Dian couldn't help but laugh secretly when he saw this. He thought his junior fellow apprentice was really as fond of women as the rumors said.

"Brother Qin, although it is human nature for a gentleman to be attracted to a beautiful lady, you should stop thinking about her."

Qin Hao rolled his eyes at him. He didn't expect that this big and strong guy would be so gossipy.

Just when Qin Hao was wandering around the Qing Temple out of boredom, he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves and axles rolling on the ground outside the gate of the Qing Temple.

"Besides the Royal Court, are there any other people coming to the temple to worship?"

Gong Dian was stunned at first and then his expression changed.

"Brother Qin, did you notice anything?"

"There's a carriage outside, with two people. One of them went around to the side, and the other just got off the carriage."

Gong Dian bowed to Qin Hao and said, "Junior Brother Qin is indeed a ninth-rank master."

After saying this, he hurried towards the gate of Qing Temple.

It happened that a young man pushed open the door of the Qing Temple, and the two men had a disagreement and slapped each other.

The young man was knocked back by Gong Dian's palm, but the extremely domineering true energy in the opponent's body made Gong Dian slightly stunned.

"Such a domineering Qi, why does it feel a bit similar to Junior Brother Qin's Qi?"

Just as Gong Dian was about to ask the young man about his origins, a hand was already on his shoulder. He turned around and found that Qin Hao had appeared behind him at some point. This made Gong Dian even more shocked at Qin Hao's strength.

"I haven't seen you for ten years. You have practiced your domineering Qi well."

Fan Xian was shocked that the young man in front of him revealed the martial arts method he was practicing, and then he suddenly thought of something.

"Are you Qin Hao?"

Qin Hao nodded with a smile and said to Fan Xian, "Okay, don't hold it in anymore, just spit it out, or you'll get internal injuries if you hold it in."

Fan Xian listened to the advice and spat out a mouthful of blood. Gong Dian then realized that this young man was not as strong as he had imagined, but his true energy was just special.

"Dude, where have you been all these years? My sister has been asking about your whereabouts for years."

Qin Hao walked up to Fan Xian and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't mention it. I was kidnapped by an old man and became his apprentice. It's been almost ten years, and I just came down the mountain not long ago."

"The one who can be your master must be at least a ninth-rank master. You should be at least an eighth-rank master now, right?"

"almost."

Seeing that Qin Hao knew the young man who suddenly broke in, Gong Dian no longer had the intention of capturing Fan Xian, but he still coughed lightly and gave Qin Hao a wink.

"Why do you come to Beijing instead of staying in Danzhou?" Qin Hao understood and asked in a pretentious manner.

Fan Xian said helplessly, "Don't mention it. It was my father who asked me to go to the capital. There were red-armored knights guarding me along the way, but they ran away as soon as I entered the capital. Then a fat man without a beard drove his car here and said he wanted to relieve himself, but he also ran away. I was bored so I wanted to go in and take a look, but I was beaten by this uncle and vomited blood. Tell me, is this unfair to me?"

Qin Hao smiled secretly in his heart. It was unfair, but there was nothing he could do. This was a blind date arranged for him by his own father.

"This is Fan Xian, the son of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. We played together in Danzhou for a period of time when we were young. There is no problem with his identity." Qin Hao turned and said to Gong Dian.

Gong Dian felt relieved after hearing this, but then he had greater doubts. It was obvious that someone had arranged for this young man to pass through the numerous obstacles of the imperial guards. However, judging from this kid's strength, he didn't seem like he was going to assassinate Emperor Qing.

Just as Gong Dian was about to ask Emperor Qing for instructions, a young eunuch came over and whispered a few words. Gong Dian then opened the temple door and signaled Fan Xian to go in.

"There are dignitaries offering sacrifices in the main hall and you are not allowed to enter."

Fan Xian whispered to Qin Hao, "Who is the noble person this uncle is talking about?"

"Don't ask. I can't tell you even if you ask." Qin Hao had no intention of ruining Emperor Qing's plan. This old man had planned everything out, so don't let him target you because of this little thing.

"It seems that he is a very important person. Old Qin, you are an eighth-grade master, and this uncle is also an eighth-grade master. To be protected by two eighth-grade masters, could he be a prince?"

Seeing that Fan Xian had guessed most of the answers correctly, Gong Dian couldn't help but look at this boy with new eyes. Qin Hao patted Fan Xian on the shoulder and scolded him with a smile.

"Don't lie to me. I can't say it."

"Boring, we've been friends for so many years, can't you satisfy my curiosity?"

"Curiosity can kill you sometimes. Are you sure you want to know?"

Fan Xian shrank his neck in fear: "Is it so serious? It seems that my guess was right. The person inside could not be..."

Qin Hao smiled without saying anything, and Gong Dian's forehead was already covered with sweat.

Seeing that Qin Hao was unmoved, Fan Xian shook his head in disappointment: "Forget it, there's no prize for guessing correctly. I'm going to go shopping first. Remember to come find me when you get off work."

"Well, to be honest, I haven't had time to see your sister since I came to Beijing."

Fan Xian gloated and winked at Qin Hao: "Then you have to be careful, Ruoruo is not that easy to coax."

After saying that, Fan Xian started to wander around the Qing Temple with his hands behind his back. Not long after, he went into the side hall next to it.

After a while, a woman in flowing white clothes ran out of the side hall and quickly got on a carriage and left. Fan Xian planned to chase after her without even saying hello to Qin Hao. However, this guy who valued women over friendship was eventually tricked by Eunuch Hou and was not able to catch up with her at all.

On Qin Hao's side, Emperor Qing also came out of the main hall shortly after Fan Xian left, and a group of people rushed to the imperial city in a mighty manner.

Just as the carriage drove onto a street, the patrol team of the Bingmasi surrounded a group of women in scantily dressed.

After the carriage stopped, Emperor Qing frowned and asked, "What's going on ahead?"

Gong Dian rode over on horseback and described in detail what he had seen.

"Qin Aiqing, since they are your people, you can deal with them as you wish."

"The minister obeys the order."

After saying that, Qin Hao jumped off the carriage, causing Emperor Qing to swallow back all the words he had in mind.

Qin Hao came to the front of the team, and the patrol team members immediately saluted him when they saw him.

"I've met the Commander-in-Chief."

"What's going on with them?" Qin Hao asked with a frown.

"Reporting to the commander, someone reported these women for setting up a trap, but they refused to say anything. They must have been instructed by someone powerful enough to do so."

Qin Hao frowned. The figures and looks of these women were all above average. If it was just a simple honey trap, one would be enough. There was no need to have so many. They should be the palace maids that the princess arranged to ruin Fan Xian's reputation.

"Take them back and keep them under strict guard. No one is allowed to see them without my order."

Soon, the patrol team took the women away, and Qin Hao returned to the carriage to report the situation to Emperor Qing.

Emperor Qing didn't say anything, but just waved his hand to signal Gong Dian to continue on his way.

"Lord Qin, since the Military Affairs Department has a case, you should go and investigate it. I am a little tired today, so I will invite you to visit the capital another day. I hope to see a different scene in the capital by then."

"I respectfully send you to Your Majesty."

Qin Hao secretly cursed Emperor Qing as this old fox, as it was obvious that he was going to throw this hot potato to him.

At the same time, Fan Xian's carriage also entered the capital. After losing the trace of the chicken leg girl, Fan Xian could only let the coachman go to Fan Mansion.

But along the way he saw many sights that shocked him greatly.

"You still have city management here?"

Eunuch Hou looked confused: "Why is Mr. Fan an urban management officer?"

Fan Xian pointed at the patrol team that was chasing after a carriage that was throwing fruit peels carelessly and issuing fines.

"Hey, this is the patrol team. There was no patrol team before. It was only started after Commander Qin came. But it's true. Since then, the streets in the capital have become much cleaner. The rivers along the way are no longer as smelly as before."

"Commander Qin?"

"Yes, that's the one you greeted in the Qing Temple before."

Fan Xian was shocked: "Is it him?"

Before he could come to his senses, he saw a "parking lot" painted in white on the side of the street, with several carriages parked steadily inside.

“Do you have a parking lot here?”

"This was also made by Commander Qin. Since the advent of this thing, the streets of the capital have become much smoother."

Now, Fan Xian couldn't help but suspect that Qin Hao was a time traveler like him, otherwise how to explain "urban management" and "parking lot"?
