On the Importance of Finishing Work

In the spring of the tenth year of Yongping, Fan Yu, the prefect of Shiyouzhou, embraced Sun Mo, the fifth king of Lingyang, as emperor, and accepted the prime minister and general.In winter, Fan Yu abolished Emperor Ling to stand on his own, and the heroes of the world fought against him.

In the first month of the 12th year of Yongping, Wu Yu, the prefect of Xiangzhou, proclaimed himself emperor, and the country was named Tianyuan.In April, the governor of Cangzhou became self-reliant, and the country was named Liang.

……

In the spring of the 13th year of Yongping, the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom was stolen from the Taizhang Hall. On the same day, Ruiguang was highlighted in Sizhou, and the common people kowtowed.

Seeing this strange scene, everyone was shocked, bowed their heads and kowtowed, shouting long live.One person stood upright with a calm expression on his face, he was An Guogong's righteous son Ming.

……

Qin Ming's journey was much smoother than he expected.

Almost as soon as he planted the banner, he became the lord of the four states in an instant.

—— Sizhou is naturally his territory, and Xizhou, which he was the former prefect, also returned to power immediately, Jizhou, Xuzhou...

Unlike other princes and kings who attacked each other just to occupy a small amount of territory, Qin Ming became the one with the largest territory as soon as he appeared.And it just so happened that his fist was also the hardest.

He went straight to Kang Jing, but didn't meet any decent resistance along the way.

Most of the cities surrendered, and a few closed the city and did not open it. In the end, the people in the city took the initiative to open the gate... There is more than one such city.

It was only then that Qin Ming realized that what his adoptive father had left for him...was such a precious thing.

The wider the area, the more famous he is, and the less powerful his opponent is to resist.This Qin's army actually had a strange sight that the further they went to the rear, the faster the marching speed.

……

But today, after more than ten years, Qin Ming once again stood on Kang Jing's land.

Like many cities he entered, the people lined the road to meet them, with flower petals and colored silk flying... It didn't look like the city was broken, but rather like soldiers welcoming home.

Qin Ming was in a trance, he subconsciously drove his horse in one direction, but Zhou Jie blocked the intersection with his horse sideways.

"General, let's enter the palace..."

When these words came out, both of them were taken aback.

too familiar...

Whenever he came back from the frontier back then, he couldn't wait to rush home, and Zhou Jie stopped him like this.

【Master, we have to return to the palace first. 】

However, after all, he was not as excited as he was back then.

... There is no one waiting for him in that mansion.

The two stared at each other in a daze, Zhou Jie first came back to his senses, secretly cursed himself for not mentioning his goodness, then passed Qin Ming, and winked at Shi Shi desperately.

Shi Yue stayed here with Qin Ming for more than three years.

Regarding the question of whether the two are "brothers", if Qin Ming's subordinates were to vote, it would account for about half and half.

But no one doubted that "Xu Huaiji" had a lot of face with Qin Ming.

As for this person who is clearly a latecomer, but is valued more by the lord, of course some people are not fair.

But after Shi Yue went to the Martial Arts Field for a few months, the rumors almost dissipated.

Afterwards, after seeing Master Xu taking down five cities without bloodshed, everyone became even more quiet.

... I'm scared. I'm scared.

Don't dare to provoke...

Shi Yue caught Zhou Jie's eyes, but didn't move.

He believes that Qin Ming can come out...or he has already come out.

——This is the confidence in the children I have taught.

……

…………

Sure enough, Qin Ming glanced at the location of the Duke's Mansion from afar, then took the rein and turned back to the original direction, heading straight for Miyagi.

Zhou Jie heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly followed.

This momentary pause did not have any effect, and the army still marched mightily towards Miyagi.

……

Imperial City, in front of Taizhang Palace.

As early as when they heard the news that the army was approaching the city, there was a panic in the palace. Although Qin Ming's virtue and benevolence were being praised everywhere in the city, most of the old people who had been in the palace for many years knew the rumor——

Was An Guogong killed by the emperor, or in the Hanguang Palace...

Although General Qin loves the people, who knows if General Qin will be angry at killing his father and enemies?

Therefore, as early as when the news was known, the eunuchs and maids of some connections were ready to leave the palace.

When the soldiers approached the city, they didn't even care about the fight, and ran out directly.

Those who stay in the palace today are either elderly palace people with handicapped legs, or impoverished little eunuchs and little maids who have nowhere to go...

These people are carefully hiding in the house at this moment, for fear of losing their lives if they show their heads.

In such a huge imperial city, it seemed somewhat empty and lonely.

However, Qin Ming is familiar enough with this palace city and Yuan Xingshen...

He thought countless times what it would be like on the day his adoptive father passed away.

The adoptive father must be the same as usual...Enter from Zhufengmen, go straight along the bluestone road...or directly enter the Taizhang Hall, or enter the Hanguang Hall inside through the door on the right...

After that...he couldn't imagine the scene...

Even though he has been to these two palaces several times and is familiar enough with the furnishings inside, he still cannot imagine the scene of that day.

...As long as he thinks that Yuan Xingshen and his adoptive father are in the same palace, his brain hurts like a needle, obviously this is the most common and common scene back then.

Qin Ming's footsteps stopped in front of the Taizhang Hall, he gritted his teeth, looked up at the plaque with gold letters on the blue background, breathing a little short of breath.

A palm fell on his shoulder and patted him twice on the shoulder.Only then did Qin Ming realize that he was trembling unconsciously.

"Go in." Shi Yue said.

Shi Yue was not very worried about Qin Ming's safety, after all, he opened the system map to take a look just now, it was rare for the two Children of Destiny to be on the same map, and the halo contrast was particularly obvious.

——For example, it is the difference between the moon and the stars seen from the earth.

Of course, Qin Ming is that moon.

——It’s no wonder that this journey has gone so smoothly.

There seemed to be a haughty "hum" sound in the void, and the meaning of asking for praise was very obvious.

Shi Yue has raised many sons and daughters, most of the time to encourage education, but the world consciousness of this world...

He was silent for a moment, and said in his mind: 【No next time. 】

The feeling of being noticed disappeared all of a sudden, obviously losing his temper again.

Shi Yue: ...

Suddenly more worried.

Qin Ming took a step forward, then turned back to look at Shi Yue.

Shi Yue was stunned for a moment, a little surprised: he thought Qin Ming and Yuan Xingshen's grievances did not want him, an "outsider", to interfere...

He paused for a moment, but still followed in knowingly.

Zhou Jie and Tian De also planned to follow in, but Qin Ming snatched him back.

Zhou Jie was so annoyed by the differential treatment, he hummed and sulked at the door.

Seeing this, Tian De thought for a while, and persuaded in a low voice: "General Zhou, don't worry, Master Xu is with you, nothing will happen."

Zhou Jie continued to hum: Is he angry with this?

Seeing that those words had no effect, Tian De couldn't help but glance at his deputy.

The deputy had a puzzled look on his face, and it took him a long time to hold back a sentence, "...If Mr. Xu can't handle it, it's useless for us to follow in."

Zhou Jie was so choked that he stared at the two iron-headed fools, his eyes almost rolled to the sky.

... All right, all right, I'm not as good as you "Master Xu".

— Damn, this is still the truth! !

Inside the Taizhang Hall, this is the place where the ministers go to court on weekdays, but now only two people come in, it seems that the hall is empty.

The hall was not lit, and the windows were closed, only a few dim rays of sunlight shone in through the window paper, which made the hall, which countless literati and military generals wanted to step into, appear desolate and gloomy.

Unlike Shi Yue, who still had a leisurely look at the surrounding environment, Qin Ming's eyes fell directly on the throne directly in front of him from the moment he entered the palace.

There... Yuan Xingshen rarely wore a full set of emperor's crown clothes, and sat upright.

Through the thick crown curtain, the eyes of the two meet.

Qin Ming raised his hand to rest on the knife at his waist, but kept walking until he reached the imperial steps.

He raised his foot and stepped on the steps, one step, one step... every step was solid.

Yuan Xingshen didn't move, just sat there, quietly watching Qin Ming come forward.Even the jade beads hanging from the crown didn't shake... like a static statue.

Qin Ming finally stepped onto the last step. He moved the thumb of the hand holding the saber slightly, and pulled out a section of the saber against the collar of the saber. Holding the handle of the saber with the other hand, he pulled the saber out abruptly.

The sharp blade landed on Yuan Xingshen's neck in an instant, clinging to the flesh, leaving a bloodstain on it.

Yuan Xingshen finally moved slightly, and the jade beads on the crown collided with each other, making a crisp sound.

But he didn't say a word, just lowered his head slightly, and his eyes fell on another seat - the top floor of the imperial steps, which was at the same height as the emperor's dragon chair.

This movement made the incision on the neck deeper, but Yuan Xingshen didn't seem to feel the pain, and just looked at the seat blankly.

Qin Ming also realized something and followed his line of sight to look over.

adoptive father...

——That was the seat of the adoptive father in the hall.

He grasped the knife even tighter, and the murderous aura that was habitually suppressed suddenly boiled up. Yuan Xingshen seemed unable to bear it, and his face suddenly turned pale.

But before Qin Ming handed over the knife, Yuan Xingshen spat out a mouthful of black blood.

...he had already taken poison.

In fact... his vision is so blurred that he can only see a rough outline...

However, it was enough for him to know who it was.

——Qin Ming...

His brother...or should add "was"...

……

…………

family……

...lonely.

what!

……

Yuan Xingshen's eyes gradually became slack, and another silhouette appeared in his vision.

--who is it?

The eyes that fell on him were cold and indifferent, neither sad nor happy, neither loving nor hating.

As if he was just an insignificant person...

No, it shouldn't be...

!!!

Yuan Xingshen became excited, his whole body was covered with a chill, and a fear deeper than death enveloped him.

--No! !

cannot! ! !

He tried hard to go in that person's direction, but his body was already so cold that he couldn't control it.After struggling in vain, he opened his mouth with all his strength——

"..."

Amidst the sound of Gululu's blood bubbles, his consciousness gradually dissipated.

——The phrase "Royal Father" was not called out after all.
