The Alchemist God

In the middle of the night, the lights in the Zetian Palace were brightly lit, and the palace maids lit up the Crane Palace Lanterns. The lights gathered together and swayed endlessly with a gust of wind.

After dismissing several ministers, Qin Jin only left Qin Yin, Tang Xiaoxi, Feng Jixing, Lin Muyu, Qin Lei, Chu Huaimian and other close people, and asked with a very serious expression: Ah Yu, what did Commander Feng say? Whether it is true or not, those mercenaries are actually good at Lingnan swordsmanship.

Lin Muyu nodded: Well, what Commander Feng said is true.

Qin Jin pondered: Who do you think these wandering mercenaries are after?

The dragon-hunting forest is full of dangers. It is impossible for this group of wandering mercenaries to break in aimlessly. In fact, there is no need to guess. They are also targeting Xiaoxi. Lin Muyu said calmly.

Tang Xiaoxi was slightly taken aback, and said, Even if the imperial army from Lingnan came to me, why did they seek me?

Qin Yin's beautiful eyes revealed a look of wisdom, and said: Xiaoxi, you are the most cherished descendant of Duke Lan, and one of the successors of the entire Qihai Province, so there are only two reasons why this group of Lingnan troops are looking for you. One, one, is to save you, and then ask for credit from Duke Lan, so as to make friends with the Qihai province; The reason.

Tang Xiaoxi remained silent, her eyes filled with indescribable sadness. Once upon a time, she, who was carefree and carefree, became an important pawn on the chessboard of the empire.

Feng Jixing took a deep breath, clasped his fists and said, Before contacting him again, the Knights Club wanted to do something to Xiaoxi time and again, so it seems reasonable to think about it. The power of the Knights Club in Lingnan has not been affected by the imperial edict. As it develops and thrives, I will eventually think that the real mastermind behind the Knights' House may be a certain official in Lingnan.

A certain official...

Qin Jin's eyes brightened, and he said, Ah Lei.

Qin Lei cupped his fists and said, The subordinate is here.

Tomorrow morning, call your father and king to visit Lanyan City. I haven't seen my third brother for a long time.

Yes, I will understand in the end.

Qin Jin looked up at the crowd again, and said: Feng Jixing, strictly strengthen the defense of the imperial capital, Chu Huaimian, the reorganization of the flying cavalry battalion must be completed within three days, I want an invincible flying cavalry The whole camp defends the imperial capital.

Chu Huaiman clasped his fists together: The last general will definitely live up to the holy hope.

Qin Jin looked at Lin Muyu again, his eyes became softer, and he said, Son, you did a great job in quelling the war of the Yaozu this time, and last time you saved Princess Xiaoxi alone in Xunlong Forest. It's a great achievement, but killing Tang Bin by mistake really made my father not know how to reward you, now, what kind of reward do you want?

Lin Muyu thought for a while, then clasped his fists and said, Father, I don't want anything else, I just ask you to give me 20,000 imperial military badges, is that okay?

Imperial Army Badge.

Qin Jin was surprised and said, What do you want this for?

Lin Muyu explained: Father, do you still remember the Longdan Camp? This mercenary regiment is in my hands, but mercenaries are mercenaries after all. They don't have an ultimate ideal, so I hope that Father can secretly give me two Tens of thousands of imperial army badges, by default, this gentian battalion belongs to the imperial army, but it is not directly under the control of the Ministry of War, so that I can comfort the hearts of these mercenaries, so...even if there are any changes in the future, they will shed blood and tears. Flow for the Empire.

Okay... Qin Jin stood up a little excitedly, and said, Everyone needs comfort, and I will definitely not disappoint the Longdan Camp. Come on, and immediately order the Ministry of Industry to rush to cast 20,000 pieces of pure gold for the imperial army. Give the badge to Lin Muyu.

Yes, Your Majesty. Far away, a courtier received the order and left.

Is there any reward that needs to be given? Qin Jin asked again with a smile, as if he felt that the 20,000 badges were far less than Lin Muyu's military exploits this time.

Lin Muyu shook his head and said, I don't need the rest.

It's really unnecessary.

Qin Jin smiled: General Yu Wenxie, who protects the country, lost nearly 70,000 elite soldiers in Qihai Province due to his command error in the Battle of Zhenyaoguan. I have already deprived him of his military post. here you are.

Lin Muyu was taken aback: Father wants to promote me, that's naturally good, just come...

Qin Jin couldn't help laughing: Okay, immediately promote Lin Muyu to a third-rank general protecting the country. He will receive a salary and be promoted accordingly. He is specially given to hold a gilded dragon talisman, and he can dispatch an army of no more than 20,000 within the empire at any time.

Thank you, father. Lin Muyu thanked him sincerely. The power in his hands was even greater now. Qin Jin accepted him as his adopted son, without title or other rewards, so many people didn't even take him seriously as a prince. , but now that he has been promoted to the third rank of General Protecting the Country, I am afraid that those people will no longer be able to look up to him.

Suddenly, the words of Devil Emperor Qiyao echoed in his heart: If you want others to respect you, you must first make them afraid of you.

This sentence really makes sense.

In the middle of the night, I sent Tang Xiaoxi back to the Duke’s Mansion. Tang Xiaoxi had just obtained three fragments of the Vulcan Seal, so he had to practice hard. As for Lin Muyu, he went back to the temple to rest. After all, the temple was his home. As the general who protects the country... Yinshou has been put into the Qiankun bag, Qin Jin wants to build a mansion for him in the imperial capital, but he may not be able to move in in a short time, so wait slowly.

...

The next day, when Lin Muyu participated in the early court as the general protecting the country, a shocking news came. A little earlier, Zeng Yifan sent a memorial to apply for retiring from his old age and returning to his hometown, but Qin Jin agreed. At the same time as everyone went to court, the Shenhou Mansion was already packing their luggage and preparing to move back to their hometown in Tianshu Province.

So far, Lanyan City has truly changed. The conservative forces headed by Zeng Yifan have gradually lost their support, while Lin Muyu, Chu Huaimian, Zhang Wei and others who have been cultivated by Qin Jin have already held military power. The world of Lanyan City has truly become the world of the Qin family.

Above the main hall, King Ning Qin Xuan put his hand on the hilt of his sword and said with a smile: Brother Emperor, I don't know what is the purpose of ordering me this time, maybe you want to go fishing with me again.

Qin Jin couldn't help laughing: Third brother was joking, I'm busy with government affairs these days, so I don't have time to go fishing, but... there is indeed one thing that needs you and me to do it together, and it really is to go fishing.

Oh, how should I say it? Qin Xuan asked with a smile. As the king of Ji Ning, Qin Xuan did not hold military power in his hands. On the day Qin Jin ascended the throne, Qin Xuan surrendered all military power and did not care about political affairs, so he King Ning has a good reputation in Lanyan City, and it is the best policy to fight without dispute.

Qin Jin nodded his head and muttered, Third brother, how long has it been since you saw your second brother?

Second brother.

Qin Xuan smiled: About five years...

Yeah, it's been five years. Qin Jin sighed and said, Our three brothers haven't been together for five years, so it's spring time, and I plan to let Xiaoyin supervise the country for a month, and meet with you for two I don’t know what the third brother thinks about fishing in the Fairy Lake in Tianshu Province together, rediscovering childhood fun.”

Qin Xuan was overjoyed, and said with a smile: Brother Huang has such an idea, it's really pleasing, as long as Brother Huang writes a holy edict, our three brothers can meet at Fairy Lake... No, no, I have to go back and clean up the fine wine in the mansion Come out, let's enjoy good wine while fishing, this is the joy of brothers...

Qin Jin laughed and said: Well, that's it, Xiao Yin has grown up, and it's time for her to experience it well. I will leave the imperial capital for a month, and I will hand over all the state affairs within this month to His Highness. Now, I hope that all the ministers can help my daughter with all their heart, I am afraid that the great Qin will depend on you in the future.

All the ministers knelt down on the ground: Your Majesty, rest assured, we will do our best to assist His Highness Yin.

Um.

Qin Jin nodded and said, Third brother, then write a feather letter and send it to Lingnan together with my imperial edict. After waiting for the second brother's reply, we will go to Tianshu province together.

Yes, Your Majesty.

At this time, Feng Jixing clasped his fists and said, Your Majesty, I will lead the imperial army to accompany you to Tianshu Province as a guard.

No.

Qin Jin waved his hand and said: The forbidden army has the heavy responsibility of protecting the imperial capital, and they are not allowed to leave Lanyan City for half a step.

Qin Lei said: Then I will lead the imperial guards to protect them.

No. Qin Jin said with a slight smile, The Royal Guards must protect Xiaoyin's safety, and they must not leave without authorization.

Qin Xuan was stunned: Then what kind of army is the emperor planning to bring to Tianshu province? Bandits and bandits are rampant along the way, but it's not safe. How can we do it without enough troops?

Qin Jin smiled: I will dispatch 50,000 elite soldiers from the Tianchong Legion, plus 40,000 Longquan Army guarding the imperial tomb of the imperial capital. When passing through the Cangnan Province, I will ask Sikong Fan for another 10,000 elite soldiers. Let's go to Tianshu Province together, it's always enough.

Enough, enough. Qin Xuan was very excited, and said with a smile: I think back then, the three of us were fishing, playing chess, riding and shooting every day, and now we are getting old. If we can regain our childhood The joy of death is enough.

Haha, third brother, you speak quickly, it's really unlucky to speak.

...

After the discussion, Qin Jin left Lin Muyu behind and asked him to stay with him and Qin Yin for lunch.

At noon, Qin Jin, the emperor of the empire, put on his apron again and began to cook lunch. Every time he cooks, he must do it himself, without the help of anyone. From cutting vegetables to lighting the fire, cooking is done by himself, and Lin Muyu The task with Qin Yin is to wait for the meal to be served.

Father, are you really going to go fishing in Tianshu Province? Lin Muyu asked.

Qin Jin smiled: Yes, our three Qin brothers haven't been together for a long time.

Qin Yin looked worried: What if the second uncle really has the heart of disobedience?

The matter between brothers should be settled between brothers, without using swords. Qin Jin said with a slight smile.

Lin Muyu asked: What if Zhennan King Qin Yi doesn't accept Father's invitation?

The vegetable-cutter knife in Qin Jin's hand suddenly became heavier, nailed it into the wooden board with a snap, and said indifferently: That is the reason for me to send troops to Lingnan. I have already sent feather letters to Duke Lan and Duke Yun. As long as Lingnan has the heart of disobedience, Lingbei will use 700,000 troops to cross the Qinling Mountains and redraw the empire's territory at all costs.
