Chapter 146 A big victory at the frontier, draw from the bottom!
Qin Mo is unknown.
It should be said that except for Xia Zu himself, no one knows his true strength.
The five of you have made some guesses based on your record, and the only thing you can be sure of is that Xia Zubao is a ninth-level S-level awakener.
Qin Mo originally thought that he and Li Tiangang should have almost the same strength, but after meeting Xia Xuan yesterday, he doubted his own idea.
Gaoling Xia Clan’s chief butlers are all at the peak S rank, how could Xia Zu be weaker than him?
Therefore, Qin Mo felt that he might have touched the level of the king of heaven.
Of course, guessing is just guessing before you actually see it, and it's hard to be sure.
Thinking of this, Qin Mo couldn't help shaking his head slowly and smiling.
It’s still the same sentence, soldiers come to block, water comes to garrison, the strength of the enemy does matter, but it doesn’t matter much, he just needs to ensure that his strength is steadily improving.
As long as you give him enough time, then everything doesn't matter.
Every day passes, Qin Mo's strength will undergo earth-shaking changes, and his advantage lies in his...
The sun gradually set on the hill, and the boundless night was like a curtain lifted by someone, covering the sky of the imperial capital inch by inch.
The car drove very fast, and at about half past six, Qin Mo and his party arrived at the destination of the trip... Lin Yuan.
Lin Garden is located in the northeast corner of Fuyun District. It covers a large area, about the size of two Li's Manors. The environment in the garden is extremely elegant, and it is an absolute upper-class place.
Generally speaking, only the disciples of the five major families can enter and leave the forest garden, hold banquets and invite guests.
Anyone else, whether it is the royal family or other top families, does not have this qualification.
As for ordinary people living in the imperial capital, most of them don't even know that there is such a place in the imperial capital. The huge gap between classes can be seen from this.
And the reason why Lin Yuan was so arrogant that even the royal family dared to reject him was entirely because of...
The forest in Linyuan is the forest of the Lin family in the Far East.
This is the industry of the five majors.
At this time, Qin Mo, who got off the car, stood on the spot, turned his head slightly, scanned the manor in front of him, and then walked in together with Li Mou and Li Tiangang.
At the gate of the manor stood an elegantly dressed waiter, who led the three of them into the banquet hall very politely.
The official start time of the night banquet is seven o'clock, they came half an hour earlier, but it was just right.
Taking advantage of this time, Li Mou is going to take Qin Mo to meet some high-status people.
As for Li Tiangang, he separated from the two of them as soon as he entered the banquet hall. Naturally, with his identity and status, he didn't need to make any connections.
The purpose of his trip is mainly to grab a meal, and by the way, to see if there are any young girls full of youth who are willing to step on the lonely sea with him.
Of course, a mature woman with a plump body is better.
Qin Mo didn't know what Li Tiangang was thinking in his heart. As soon as he entered the banquet hall, he saw many acquaintances.
For example, brothers and sisters Li Mo, Li Yuan, and Chu Tianjiao, the son of the Chu family. Although they are not of high level, they all have special identities, so they are also eligible to participate in tonight's banquet.
Several people also saw Qin Mo at the door, and each nodded to him as a greeting.
Qin Mo nodded and smiled back, and then followed Li Mou through the crowd, into the depths of the hall, bypassed the small door from the side, and came to another relatively quiet small hall.
All the utensils in the small hall are the best in the whole of Daqin, and the materials are extremely particular.
At this time, there were only four people in the hall, and they were the current patriarchs of the other four families, and they were also the four princes of the Great Qin Empire.
"Everyone, long time no see."
Li Mou spoke with his hands behind his back and a smile on his face.
Hearing this, the other four all turned their gazes to him, smiled sincerely in return, and greeted each other politely.
I'm afraid only they know how much of this smile is true or not, but it doesn't matter.
Anyway, these five people are all old foxes, one is more like a chicken thief, no matter who is real and who is fake, it is impossible for anyone to be fooled in the slightest.
Qin Mo stood aside, seeing all this clearly.
After Li Mou finished greeting them, he stood sideways, pointed at Qin Mo and smiled:
"Let me introduce to you, this person is..."
"Who doesn't know the name of the Marquis of Guannei? I don't think there is any need to introduce it."
Before Li Mou could complete a sentence, Fang Guogong, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly interrupted him. He looked at Qin Mo with a smile, and continued:
"We are all old acquaintances."
As the voice fell to the ground, the eyes of the other three people in the small hall suddenly became playful.
If Qin Mo is an old acquaintance with the Yannan family, what is it with the Qingyang Li family?
Fang wanted to come up with a slap in the face, but there was a hint of deep meaning in it, which can be said to have dug a small hole for Qin Mo.
Chu Xiong and others also looked at Qin Mo, ready to see how he would answer next.
If the answer is not good, it is very likely that there will be a rift between him and Qingyang Li.
The Li family lacked one genius, and the other four were happy to see this.
It's just that they wrongly underestimated the relationship between Qin Mo and Li Mou.
The two of them are not puppets supported by Qin Mo for Li Shi as the outside rumors say. Even if he doesn't answer well today, Li Shi of Qingyang will not change his attitude.
After all, they knew Qin Mo's true strength.
This kind of peerless genius who is rare in all ages and has unlimited achievements in the future, Qingyang Li's tolerance will be infinite.
Of course, it is impossible for Qin Mo to answer incorrectly.
He is not the kind of stupefied young man with no social experience, how could he fail to see the hole that Fang wanted to dig for him?
Regarding this, I saw him smiling and shaking his head, and said straightly:
"I only met it once, and I'm not very familiar with it."
Boom!
The small hall suddenly fell into a complete silence, and a needle could be heard.
Qin Mo's words didn't save Fang Xiang any face at all, they were almost slapping him in the face.
In the blink of an eye, the situation turned around a hundred and eighty degrees just now, and now the focus in the small hall has suddenly become Fang Xiang.
Moreover, everyone's eyes were more playful than Shicai's, with strange expressions on their faces.
Fang Xiang's smile froze at the corner of his mouth, and the naked eye could see that his complexion instantly darkened by three points.
But old things are old things after all, leaving aside other aspects for the time being, the thickness of this face alone is unmatched.
After a brief silence, Fang Xiang's face reappeared a very sincere smile, as if nothing happened, he clapped his hands and said:
"As expected of being the youngest Duke of the Great Qin Empire, it is true that nobles forget things a lot, and I am not as good as him."
Prince?
Qin Mo keenly caught the word, a strange color flashed in the depths of his eyes, and he said to himself:
"Sure enough."
Li Mou, who was standing aside, noticed the change in his eyes, and then explained:
"Tomorrow morning at the court meeting, after the downfall of the Gaoling Xia Clan, I will ask His Majesty for the title again. With the merits you have accumulated in the past few days, plus the previous ones, it is enough to be promoted to the position of Duke.
At that time, the people in front of you, including me, will be on an equal footing with you. "
After he finished speaking, the rest of the people in the small hall all smiled and nodded, meaningless.
Obviously, they knew about this a long time ago, and they didn't mind at all that the Qingyang Li family had an extra prince of their own faction.
I don’t know how many benefits were exchanged in it. Mrs. Li must have given up a considerable piece of cake, and the other four families just exchanged nodded.
Qin Mo knew this from the bottom of his heart, he knew that this should be the small gift that Li Mou was talking about.
However, he was not overjoyed because of this, as usual, Gujing was calm.
He had known about being promoted to Duke, so there was nothing unexpected about it.
And it doesn't matter if the country is not the country's public.
Qin Mo only wants to live the life he wants, nothing more.
And when everyone saw his gesture, they couldn't help raising their evaluation of him in their hearts.
This kind of xinxing alone is not something ordinary people can have.
Based on this, whether Qin Mo is a puppet supported by Li or not, his future achievements will certainly not be small.
Liu Guogong and Lin Guogong, who met him for the first time, thought so in their hearts, and couldn't help but nodded secretly.
They had the same initial feelings as Fang Xiang and Chu Xiong, and there was basically no difference.
And the most important thing is that Qin Mo is only twenty-three years old this year, so young can be said to be very young.
At this age, he has already become the Duke of the state, and he also possesses the powerful strength of the third level, which is higher than the sum of the five people present.
It's hard to imagine how far Qin Mo will grow in the future.
Several people chatted like this in the small hall for more than 20 minutes. Apart from Qin Mo's affairs, there were some other cakes to share.
This kind of division has actually been carried out a few days ago, but the cake is too big, and each of the five families wants to eat more, so it is not something that can be negotiated in a day or two.
However, after so many days, tonight finally came to an end, and most of the things were settled.
Li Mou looked at the time, then raised the red wine glass in his hand, looked around everyone, and said with a smile:
"Everyone, now we only have to wait for the collapse of the Gaoling Xia Clan tomorrow morning. Let's enjoy tonight's celebration banquet to the fullest."
"We old guys are already behind the times, Duke Qin is the real protagonist tonight." Chu Xiong took the conversation and said with a smile.
Qin Mo didn't say anything, just smiled back.
Should I say it or not, he is too lazy to make false claims with these people.
He has already made a decision, and he will get together with Chu Tianjiao and Li Yuan later, and let the others forget it.
Just like that, everyone raised their wine glasses and touched them in emptiness, drank each of them, then got up and walked out.
However, they had just started walking when a middle-aged man with the appearance of a housekeeper hurried into the small hall. He was the person in charge of Lin Yuan and a member of the Lin family in the Far East.
After this person came in, he didn't go to salute and say hello, but frowned tightly, and quickly reported:
"My lords, news suddenly came from the frontier just now that the champion Hou Xiazu broke into the enemy formation alone, and with one enemy ten thousand, he powerfully beheaded three ninth-level S-level awakeners in Qi before the formation.
The army of Qi State had no leader, so in desperation, they had to withdraw their troops in a large scale. The champion Hou took advantage of the victory to pursue and led the soldiers of the Great Qin Empire to conquer the lost land and rebuild the border defense line..."
No one cares about what he said later.
Just the news mentioned earlier is shocking enough!
Conquering the lost land, Qi retreated, Xia Zu fought three against one...
What's this? ?
This is his military exploits! It is an indelible feat!
Which of the people present is extremely clear about the situation? Who doesn't have a keen sense of smell?
When they heard the news, they immediately thought of what would happen next.
The faces of Li Mou and the others became extremely ugly in an instant, and the same thought emerged from the bottom of their hearts.
"Now, it's broken..."
None of them needed to verify the authenticity of this matter. The phone ringing like a reminder in their pockets was the best proof.
Li Mou took a deep breath. He took out his mobile phone from his pocket, turned on the screen and saw that it was indeed a call from the Presbyterian Church.
The rest of the people are all like this.
The sudden end of the border war was like a meteorite falling from the sky, violently disrupting all the arrangements of the five families.
At this time, no one is in the mood to go to any banquet anymore. The so-called celebration is more like a joke.
"Qin Mo, you go out and deal with it first." Li Mou said to him hastily.
Afterwards, the few of them went to different places, connected the phone in their hands, and prepared to have an immediate discussion with the elders.
After just a few seconds, only Lin Yuan's housekeeper and Qin Mo were left in the small hall.
The housekeeper bowed slightly to Qin Mo, and then quietly left the small hall.
Qin Mo watched the direction in which several people left, and at the same time spread out the holographic vision, covering the entire forest garden.
The contents of the conversation between the five members and the Council of Elders were all transmitted to his ears, which was extremely clear.
The super brain was running rapidly, and Qin Mo directly focused on six tasks.
He squinted his eyes, and while listening to the message from Li Mou and others, he murmured inwardly.
"Conquering the lost ground, this is trying to cover up with merit..."
Qin Mo raised the corners of his mouth, revealing an extremely sarcastic smile.
You must know that the five major families have actually hoarded a considerable part of their power on the border between the two countries.
These people can not only be used to defend against Qi, but also their eyes and ears. If there is any news on the border, the Presbyterian Church will know it as quickly as possible.
But now, from the postures of Li Mou and others, it can be seen that the Presbyterian Church is also in a daze.
They had no preparations for Xia Zu's move to draw fire from the bottom.
That is to say, the news of the border victory has already spread to the imperial capital.
Then, the direction of public opinion carefully guided by the previous five masters...
It seems that all previous efforts will be wasted.
After all, would a person who did his best to successfully conquer the lost territory for the Great Qin Empire and behead many generals in the Qi State really be a traitor?
