Movie: Get Alpha Dog at the start

Chapter 839: More than one childhood sweetheart?
Lin Wan'er, who was secretly watching from the carriage, had just seen Ye Ling'er fighting with someone and was worried for a while. However, when the other party showed up, Ye Ling'er acted like a girl and Lin Wan'er was stunned. She was weak and sickly since she was a child. She only had Ye Ling'er as her close friend since she was a child. In her impression, Ye Ling'er was stronger than most boys and never shed a tear even when her bones were broken.

Lin Wan'er couldn't help but look at the strange man curiously, wanting to see who could make Ye Ling'er become like this. After a closer look, she suddenly felt that he looked familiar. She seemed to have seen him in the Qing Temple before, but she didn't know his origins.

Here, facing Ye Ling'er's question, Qin Hao had no time to answer, Fan Ruoruo had already stood between the two of them, staring at Ye Ling'er.

"Why did Brother Qin Hao want to see you?"

He turned around and looked up at Qin Hao with a questioning look: "Do you know each other well?"

Qin Hao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I met Master Ye when I went to the old house of the Ye family. I taught her the palm technique."

Fan Ruoruo's eyes lit up, and she immediately turned from anger to joy: "So, she is your apprentice?"

Ye Ling'er snorted, "He hasn't formally become my disciple yet, so he can't be considered my disciple. What's your relationship with him?"

Fan Ruoruo held her head high, put her hands behind her back and snorted, "Humph, Brother Qin Hao and I grew up together in Danzhou when we were young, and we have a very good relationship."

"I remember you came to Beijing when you were less than six years old. I'm afraid you have forgotten such small things, right?" Ye Ling'er immediately retorted.

"you"

Seeing the two of them on edge, Qin Hao quickly changed the subject: "Ling'er, you just said that the princess wanted to see Fan Xian, right?"

Ye Ling'er glared at Fan Ruoruo fiercely and nodded reluctantly.

Fan Ruoruo was not willing to be outdone, and immediately gave Ye Ling'er a look of dissatisfaction.

Qin Hao couldn't help but feel a little headache, so he could only interrupt again: "Fan Xian is drunk, I'm afraid he can't meet the princess, how about making another appointment?"

Ye Ling'er was about to say something when Lin Wan'er's gentle voice came from the carriage: "Since Master Fan is unwell, let's meet again another day."

Hearing this, Ye Ling'er didn't know what to say anymore. She could only look back every few steps as she returned to the carriage of the Princess's Mansion.

Ye Ling'er waited until she reached the street corner and no longer saw Qin Hao, then she withdrew her reluctant look.

"So our Ling'er already has a lover?"

When Ye Ling'er raised her eyes, she saw Lin Wan'er looking at her with ambiguous eyes. She was immediately embarrassed and said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? What sweetheart?"

"Oh, you said it wasn't me. I didn't know who it was just now. I wished my eyes were on that person." Lin Wan'er smiled softly with her hands covering her mouth.

Facing Lin Wan'er's teasing, Ye Ling'er's cheeks flushed, which was rare for her.

"What are you talking about? I'm ignoring you."

Lin Wan'er coughed lightly, but still had no intention of letting Ye Ling'er go easily, so she reached out and held her arm.

"Tell me your story."

Ye Ling'er was so annoyed by her that she could only start reminiscing.

Lin Wan'er became even more interested after hearing this: "This should be considered childhood sweethearts, right?"

"Humph, I'm not the only childhood sweetheart of his. That Fan Ruoruo is one of them too."

Having said this, Ye Ling'er couldn't go on. When she thought of Fan Ruoruo's delicate appearance, she couldn't help but worry. She practiced martial arts every day, what if "he" didn't like her?
As a close friend of many years, Lin Wan'er saw Ye Ling'er's worry at a glance and took her hand to comfort her.

"There are many delicate girls like you in the capital, but there is only one heroic girl like you. If I were him, I would definitely choose you."

Ye Ling'er lowered her head shyly when she heard this: "Wan'er, what are you talking about? I won't pay attention to you."

On the other side, Qin Hao sat in the carriage facing Fan Ruoruo's questioning gaze.

Qin Hao couldn't help but laugh: "When I met Ye Ling'er, she was only six years old."

Before Qin Hao could finish his words, Fan Ruoruo interrupted him angrily, "I was less than six years old when I left Danzhou."

Well, why is this girl so obedient to Fan Xian, but so sharp-tongued when it comes to him, making him so speechless that he doesn't know how to respond for a while.

Versace suddenly seemed to have discovered some incredible secret, and grabbed Fan Ruoruo's arm and shouted, "Sister, did the girl from the Ye family like him just now?"

Fan Ruoruo grabbed Versace's arm hard, causing him so much pain that he almost jumped up and overturned the roof of the car.

"Hey, sister, why are you pinching me?"

Qin Hao couldn't hold back and laughed out loud. Seeing Fan Sizhe jumping up and down, Fan Ruoruo couldn't help laughing as well.

Their eyes met, and everything that had happened before seemed to disappear at this moment.

At this moment, the carriage also arrived at the side door of Fan Mansion.

As soon as Fan Sizhe got off the carriage, he ran away to find Aunt Liu to cry for money. Fan Ruoruo hesitated for a long time, and said to Qin Hao with a firm look: "You are not allowed to see her alone."

Qin Hao smiled playfully and asked, "Who are you meeting?"

"Ye Ling'er!" Fan Ruoruo said angrily with her hands on her hips.

"Then I'll take you with me then."

"Humph, I don't want to see her. It would be best if I never see her again in my life."

After saying that, Fan Ruoruo ran in holding up her skirt.

On the other side, Guo Baokun reported what happened today to his father Guo Youzhi, who pinched his nose as he listened.

"Stupid! You are so blatantly making things difficult for Fan Xian. Do you really think the Inspection Office is just a decoration? If Commander Qin hadn't shown mercy today, I would have to go to Jingzhao Prefecture to rescue your man. How could I, Guo You, have given birth to a fool like you with my lifelong reputation?"

Guo Baokun was scolded so much that he couldn't even raise his head. He said aggrievedly, "Then I also hope to serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"You're more likely to cause trouble than to help me. It's good enough that you don't cause trouble for me!" Guo Youzhi took a deep breath and was almost mad to death by this idiot.

After saying this, Guo Youzhi turned away and took a carriage to the East Palace.

After listening to Guo Youzhi's report, the prince consoled him, "Your son's achievements today are not entirely in vain. At least Commander Qin let him go, which means he has not yet joined the Second Brother's army. We still need to find a way to win him over as soon as possible, so as not to let the Second Brother take the lead."

"That's right, but Commander Qin has won the favor of His Majesty recently, and he is also the youngest ninth-rank master in Qing Kingdom. I'm afraid ordinary objects won't arouse his interest." Guo Youzhi was a little embarrassed.

The prince smiled playfully and said, "Everyone has weaknesses. Minister Guo, did you hear that the eldest lady of the Fan family and the eldest lady of the Ye family were jealous of each other in the street today and almost got into a fight?"

"Is there still such a thing?"

Guo Youzhi immediately understood: "Your Highness means to use women"

"Yes, even heroes are tempted by beauty. I heard that on the first day our Commander Qin returned to Beijing, the eldest lady of the Qin Mansion stuffed a beautiful maid into his room, and Commander Qin kept her that night."

"Your Highness is right." Guo Youzhi thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness, I heard that a stunning courtesan has come to the capital, her name is Si Lili, she is both beautiful and talented, I think only a woman like this can win the heart of Commander Qin."

"Si Lili? Is she the top performer of Zuixianju? A beauty and a hero, it is indeed a good story. I'll have to trouble Minister Guo with this matter."

"Working for His Highness is not hard at all."

On the other side, Qin Hao was called to the palace just after leaving Fan Mansion.

Gong Dian happened to be coming out of the hall. Seeing his gloomy face, Qin Hao asked curiously, "Brother, what's going on?"

Gong Dian sighed and patted Qin Hao on the shoulder: "Junior brother, be careful of the Inspection Office. Don't be so smart as to think that you can hide something from His Majesty. Be careful."

After staggering away, Qin Hao looked at Gong Dian carefully and found that there was no sign of injury on his body. His true energy was still at the level of an eighth-grade master. He should not have suffered any internal injuries. The only explanation was that Emperor Qing had broken down his psychological defenses.

Qin Hao couldn't help but sigh. Gong Dian was actually not too old and had good aptitude. It was possible for him to be promoted to the ninth rank in the future, but he had psychological problems now. If he couldn't break through, he would only be able to stop at the peak of the eighth rank in this life and would never have the possibility of reaching the ninth rank.

At this moment, the majestic palace in front of him was like a crawling giant beast with its bloody mouth wide open, but Qin Hao stepped in with firm steps.

"Your Majesty, Commander Qin has arrived."

Emperor Qing was still dressed unkemptly and casually, looking harmless, but Qin Hao knew that this old Yinbi was the most powerful master in the world, and an invisible pressure was overwhelming him.

"My dear Minister Qin is here, please take a seat." Emperor Qing pointed to the seat in front of him.

Qin Hao didn't refuse and sat down directly.

"How about playing a game of hand-to-hand with me, my dear Lord Qin?"

"I obey your command."

Qin Hao felt a little helpless. Why did these people always like to play chess with him?

Soon, after more than thirty moves, Emperor Qing exclaimed, "I didn't expect that Qin Aiqing is so young, but his chess skills are so superb."

Qin Hao secretly complained, it’s obviously because your chess skills are too weak.

"Your Majesty is so complimentary."

Emperor Qing suddenly changed the subject: "I heard that Lord Qin didn't have anyone interrogate the woman he captured that day?"

Qin Hao thought to himself: He's here as expected.

"Your Majesty, there is actually no need to interrogate him. You can figure out who is behind this with just a little thought."

Emperor Qing said, "Who do you think is the mastermind behind this?"

"Whoever benefits the most from Fan Xian's bad reputation is naturally the one behind all this. Your Majesty has promised that after Princess Lin gets married, the inner treasury will be handed over to her for management. The inner treasury has all the wealth in the world, so it's not something that can be given up just like that."

"So, you are suspicious of the eldest princess?"

The two asked and answered each other, and Eunuch Hou, who was standing by, was frightened and wanted to stay far away to avoid being implicated.

Qin Hao continued to play chess leisurely: "Your Majesty, don't you have any doubts?"

As Qin Hao dropped a black piece, Emperor Qing put all the white pieces in his hand into the chess box with a depressed look on his face.

"I lost this round, let's try again."

"This time, I play the black piece."

While Emperor Qing was speaking, he had already swapped the positions of the black and white pieces, and his first move was at the Tianyuan position.

"I have been playing chess for so many years, but Qin Aiqing is the first one to beat me."

Qin Hao took the third position slowly and said, "That's because no one else dares to beat your majesty."

"Oh? Then how did Qin Aiqing dare to win?"

Emperor Qing stared at Qin Hao with sharp eyes, and in an instant, an invisible aura enveloped the entire hall. Although Emperor Qing did not reveal any trace of true energy during the whole process, Qin Hao could feel that this was the aura of a grandmaster.

As expected, Emperor Qing is the most powerful among the four great masters. Just his aura makes Qin Hao's hair stand on end and goose bumps appear on his arms.

"Your Majesty asked me to play chess, and I played with all my strength. Being loyal to the emperor is just the duty of an official."

Qin Hao gritted his teeth and tried hard to suppress the domineering true energy that was stirring in his body.

"You are well-said that one should be loyal to the emperor and receive his salary. If all the ministers in the court can be like you, Lord Qin, then why should we, the Kingdom of Qing, not be able to unify the world?" Emperor Qing laughed heartily, and the oppressive aura just now disappeared in an instant.

Qin Hao couldn't help but be secretly shocked. The strength of Emperor Qing was even more terrifying than he had imagined. No wonder he was able to wipe out the other three grand masters in one fell swoop in the battle of Mount Dadong.

"Your Majesty is holy."

Although he flattered her, Qin Hao did not hesitate at all when he acted. The white pieces fell and completely surrounded and killed the big dragon that Emperor Qing had worked so hard to build in the upper right corner.

"Your Majesty, it's your turn."

Emperor Qing held the black piece in the air for a long time but was reluctant to put it down. No matter how he looked at it, there was no way out in this game. Including this one, he had lost three games in a row. He felt a little embarrassed, but he had just praised Qin Hao and was too embarrassed to go back on his word.

Just when Emperor Qing was hesitating, a young eunuch suddenly came over.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Lin requests to see you."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Qing threw the white piece in his hand onto the chessboard and said impatiently, "What a spoilsport! Can't you see me and Qin Aiqing playing chess?"

"Go, bring him here."

Qin Hao was speechless for a moment at the shameless behavior of Emperor Qing. He was about to leave but was stopped by Emperor Qing.

"Minister Lin also loves playing chess. Lord Qin may want to play a few games with him later."

Well, since you are unhappy, you want to let others taste your pain, right?
As he was speaking, the prime minister Lin Ruofu had already arrived in the hall and bowed down.

"Lord Lin, please stand up." Emperor Qing helped Lin Ruofu up, and then introduced him enthusiastically: "This is Commander Qin. I just learned today that Commander Qin is an amazing chess player, and Lord Lin is the best chess player in the court. It would be a good opportunity for you two to have a chess conversation, which would be a good story."

As he was speaking, Eunuch Hou had already moved the chessboard to a seat nearby.

Lin Ruofu had no intention of playing chess now. He went to the palace this time just to ask Emperor Qing to revoke his decision and cancel the engagement between his daughter and Fan Xian.

However, Emperor Qing had already spoken, and he did not dare to disobey, so he could only sit opposite Qin Hao obediently.

"Commander Qin, will you play black or white?"

"I am the junior, so let Minister Lin choose first."

While Lin Ruofu picked up the white chess piece, he was also looking at Qin Hao. He had heard of this famous man in the capital, the youngest ninth-rank official in Qing Kingdom, but this was the first time he had met him in private.

He is handsome, capable, and has the strong backing of the Ye family. He is a good candidate for a son-in-law.

For a moment, Lin Ruofu's thoughts were in a mess, and when he came to his senses, he had already lost the first game.

"Commander Qin is indeed a very good chess player. How about another game? I'm going to take it seriously this time."
