If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 102: Prince of Qinghe (Thanks to the leader of the 'Lolita Destroyer Control' for the extra update)

Luodu, Qinghe County Prince's Mansion, in a small pavilion in the back garden.

"Your Highness, we have confirmed with the river god that Marquis Lieyang is really gone." Li Dan, a clerk in the Lacquer Garden, sighed.

The Prince of Qinghe was a handsome middle-aged man in his forties, with sharp eyebrows, eyes like black ink, and a short beard on his chin, which was shiny black and very beautifully trimmed.

At this time, he was wearing a purple gown, walking calmly and with an extraordinary bearing.

"If they leave, they leave. Can we force them to stay?"

The prince put his hands behind his back, looked out at the herons playing in the lake, and said in a low voice.

"But the unrest in the Thirty-Six Kingdoms has not been quelled, and even the imperial envoy of the Great Qin has not arrived. How can he leave? Just now, the inheritance treasure of our Great Shu was stolen by thieves. He should stay in Luodu to stabilize the situation!" Li Dan said excitedly.

Prince Qinghe said helplessly: "Marquis Lieyang has many reasons to stay for a while, but the emperor has passed away."

"I know that the death of the Human Emperor is a devastating event, but what's the point of Marquis Lieyang rushing back in such a hurry?" Li Dan said.

"Do you think 'the sky will fall' is just describing the impact of the death of the emperor? The sky will really fall."

The Prince of Qinghe turned around and said with a complicated expression: "Not to mention the reactions of the vassal states, more than ten riots broke out in Daqin alone.

Not only was Marquis Lieyang anxious to go back, but the dignitaries in the Qin court were also urging him to go back.

Think about it, why did the imperial envoy from Shangbang, who was supposed to cross the river to the west early, suddenly postpone the time to two months later?

Not only are the thirty-six states in the Xisha region in chaos, the Dongsha region is also in chaos, and they also need the imperial envoy from the upper state to stabilize the situation. "

Li Dan was shocked. "The emperor just passed away, and the situation has deteriorated to this extent?"

"As great as the Emperor's rule is, as great will the chaos be after his death," said the Prince of Qinghe.

Li Dan murmured, "The Emperor of Qin unified the Central Plains, and the 100,000 vassal states in all directions revered him as the Emperor. The territory of the Great Qin spread across the four continents.

All over the world, wherever there are people, they praise the name of the Human Emperor and admire the greatness of the Qin Dynasty.

Since the Middle Ages, there have been almost no overlords who can rival the human emperor.
But the Qin Dynasty has a prince and a crown prince!
"The Crown Prince Fusu's reputation for virtue spreads far and wide, and all the princes in the world are submissive to him. Who dares to cause trouble?"

The Prince of Qinghe said, "If Crown Prince Fusu could succeed to the throne immediately, Marquis Lieyang would not be in such a hurry to return."

"I heard that the current Qin court is ruled by the Queen Mother Zhao, the biological mother of the Emperor?" Li Dan said.

The Prince of Qinghe nodded and said, "When the Emperor passed away, Crown Prince Fusu was accompanying General Meng to Beihai to suppress the 'Xiongnu Rebellion'."

"What about now? The emperor has passed away, so it's time for the prince to return to the court, right?" Li Dan said.

The Prince of Qinghe shook his head slightly and said, "It's not that simple. First of all, the Xiongnu tribe has the support of the demon tribe behind them. This is not a minor problem, but a serious one.

The northern defense line must be stabilized, otherwise the Huns will move south and the entire Central Plains will be in danger of destruction.

Especially now that the world is in chaos, there can be chaos in Uttarakuru, but the war cannot spread to the heartland of the Central Plains.

In addition, the behavior of the Qin court officials is somewhat confusing to me.

Surprisingly, not everyone supported Prince Fusu's succession to the throne, and there were even many people who opposed Prince Fusu.

The emperor did not leave a clear will. Alas, those nobles in the upper states are still arguing about whether there was a will or not. "

Li Dan felt disillusioned as if his ideals were severely shattered by reality, and murmured, "That's the Celestial Empire, and the nobles in the court of the Celestial Empire are just like us, fighting for power and profit without regard for the interests of the country."

"Shangbang is not the Western Pure Land, so how can there be no power struggle? Even in Lingshan, I heard that the Buddhas are now fighting for the throne!" said the Prince of Qinghe County.

Having said that, the prince himself was also shocked by the information he received from Wanshou Mountain.

He was not shocked by the infighting among the nobles of the upper state, but he was shocked that they were still fighting at this time, which was totally disregarding the overall situation.

Li Dan, a clerk in the Lacquer Garden, took a lot of effort to calm down from the blow of "not all officials in a state are gentlemen".

"Your Majesty, the Qin Empire is too far away from us. We can only wish them well from afar. Now that Marquis Lieyang has left without saying a word, what should we do?"

"Whatever needs to be done, the chaos of the Thirty-Six Kingdoms is a headache for the current monarchs of each country, the Thousand-Handed Thief Saint"

Prince Qinghe frowned and thought for a moment, then asked, "What does the Yingxiang Guan family say?"

"The Guan family is in a mess now." Li Dan said with a half-smile, "Guan Wenlong was beaten with eighty military sticks by Marquis Lieyang. If it weren't for the great medical skills of Min the Divine Doctor, he would have passed the seventh day of his death by now.

Even though Dr. Min rescued him in time, Guan Wenlong's two legs were still disabled.

Outsiders all thought that Guan Wenlong had violated the Fire Crow Army's military rules by mistake, and that Marquis Lieyang's military law was harsh and merciless.

But the first lady must understand that her husband's situation is related to the second lady Wen Danxia.

Then the first and second wives of the Guan family started to make a fuss.

Guan Huchen didn't know whether he heard it from the first lady or saw something with his clairvoyance, but in any case, he knew about the affair between his wife and his eldest brother. He stabbed Madam Wen with a knife, and was also slashed seven or eight times by her, and then lay back on the bed.

Now he is shouting that he wants a divorce!

I don't think he can get a divorce, as Old Lady Guan from the Wen family is still very healthy!"

Prince Qinghe waved his hand with a look of disdain and said, "I don't care about the Guan family's mess. I just want to know where the Thousand-Handed Thief Saint is hiding now."

"The Guan family is in a mess and has no energy to deal with other things. When I went to the Guan family, Guan Huchen and Guan Wenlong were lying on the bed groaning and had no idea about the Thousand-Handed Thief Saint." Li Dan said.

"I don't count on those two brothers. I'm asking what Guan Chenghuang says." said the Prince of Qinghe.

"General Chen Taiping immediately burned a petition in the City God Temple, but has not received a response yet. So I went to the Guan family, and Guan Huchen promised to inform the prince as soon as he had any news."

After a pause, Li Dan continued, "I guess there won't be any good news from Guan Chenghuang, as it's been several days.

Zong Erbu is not a fool. If he is not sure, he will not flee to Tianmen Town.

The power of ghosts and gods is indeed strong, but there are many strange people and strange skills in the world, and ghosts and gods cannot monitor them all."

The Prince of Qinghe said, "I know what you are talking about. It's not about whether you can do it or not, it's about whether you dare to do it or not.

"Immortals" are distinguished from humans. Ghosts and gods dare to control humans, but they are afraid of the power of "immortals".

But the 'Five Thunders and Eight Trigrams Heavenly Master Talisman' is of great importance.

Even if Guan Chenghuang was afraid of revenge from the 'Eight Immortals of the West' and didn't want to get involved, he had no choice. "

"What should we do if he insists on making excuses and says he doesn't know?" Li Dan said.

The Prince of Qinghe said calmly, "Let the king take all the Guan family members from Yingxiang Mansion to Luodu in the name of comforting the meritorious officials, and then ask the imperial doctors to treat the injuries of Guan Huchen and Guan Wenlong."

Li Dan thought for a moment, "This is what 'toasting' means."

"Toast" is not a good wine either.

The main function of the Five Thunders and Eight Trigrams Heavenly Master Talisman is to protect Luodu from being invaded by big monsters.

He invited all the members of the Guan family to Luodu, showed them great favor, and also shared the risk of being in trouble with evil spirits.

"Your Highness, do you still remember Sha Manyu?" Li Dan asked.

"What's up with her?"

Li Dan said: "Liu San wants to know your thoughts. You placed Sha Manyu in Hongxiufang because you were unsure of Marquis Lieyang's attitude. Now Marquis Lieyang has left."

His expression became very conflicted, "If you say that Marquis Lieyang doesn't care about Sha Manyu, he would have turned around and found a reason to beat Guan Wenlong almost to death.

If he cared about her at all, he left in a very decisive manner. He took a dozen Western generals with him before leaving, but he didn't take her with him, and he didn't even look at her. "

The Prince of Qinghe County groaned and said, “I didn’t quite understand it before, so I arranged for Sha Manyu to stay in Hongxiufang to see how Marquis Lieyang would react.

Now I think I understand a little bit.

The key is not Sha Manyu, but Marquis Lieyang himself.

If you don't provoke him, he will handle his official business in an impartial manner; if you provoke him, he will handle his private business in an impartial manner.

Guan Huchen plotted against him, cursed him behind his back, and was beaten to death by him.

Guan Wenlong volunteered to go to Liulin Ferry to welcome the Fire Crow Army, and he also had the intention of plotting against Marquis Lieyang.

Whether or not Marquis Lieyang deliberately sought to make Sha Manyu famous and used her as a target.

Guan Wenlong's intention to transfer the Fire Crow Army away from Sha Manyu was real. The Guan family considered that the Fire Crow Army used Sha Manyu as a target, and also considered the help of the Eight Immortals Shooting the Sun in Feixiandu, and Sha Manyu beheading Kong Zan and deposing Zhou Lang to the Marquis of Lieyang.

But they were still too smart for their own good, thinking that the identity of 'Minister of Welcoming Guests of Shu Kingdom' would make Marquis Lieyang cautious.

Alas, it’s okay for Guan Huchen, but he doesn’t know that Gao Xianjue is a man with a sharp hearing.

But Guan Wenlong is known for his calmness and intelligence, so how could he repeat the mistakes of his brother? "

Li Dan said with a smile: "Mrs. Wen brought her daughter to the house, and Guan Wenlong knew it was not suitable, but he had no choice but to go ahead!
Otherwise, what else can be done?

Besides, he is in Yingxiang Prefecture, and the City God is there to help him!
I just wonder why Guan Cheng Huang didn't help this time and let Wenlong become disabled."

Prince Qinghe said calmly: “Everyone thinks that Guan Huchen survived by chance because of Hua Wuxiang.

I never thought that Guan Chenghuang would dare to violate the laws of heaven and use public property for personal gain.

If people don’t know, God won’t investigate.

Guan Wenlong was sent to Bao'an Hall in public, and Doctor Min's diagnosis was known to everyone.

Besides, Guan Wenlong only lost two legs.

Why would Guan Laogui take the risk of losing the 'City God's Black Gauze Hat'?

That old ghost was cautious all his life.

Guan Wenlong is different from Guan Huchen. Even if he really loses his life, he probably won’t intervene.”

"Alas, Guan Wenlong made a stupid mistake, what a pity for Sha Manyu." Li Dan sighed.

"If Guan Wenlong hadn't done something stupid, it wouldn't be our turn to feel sorry for her. We can only say that everything is fate."

Prince Qinghe sighed, "I sent her to the teaching office because I couldn't figure out Marquis Lieyang's intentions, and I had to accept the hot potato thrown by the Guan family.

Just then Yan Feiying brought another hot potato, Dou Gengyan.

It would be better to pair them up so that it would be easier to attract the people behind the "Eight Immortals of the West".

Marquis Lieyang is in Tianmen Town. If he wants to use Sha Manyu as a target, he will get what he wants.

Moreover, according to the laws of Shu, it was customary to send the daughters of the enemy country to the Jiaosifang.

Even if you guess Marquis Lieyang's thoughts wrongly, there is still room for turning around.

Although Marquis Lieyang has left, his admission into the religious department has become a reality."

He changed the subject and asked curiously, "What's Shamanyu's current condition? How is his bone-breaking injury recovering?"

"He was sent to Hongxiufang and fell into a coma for a few days. After waking up, he was able to run and jump immediately. That day, he demonstrated the Tiger Soul Sword Intent in front of a group of martial artists, shocking everyone.

That night, under the guidance of Dou Gengyan, he practiced the "Changchun Internal Breathing", which is the internal breathing method of "Xionglong Gong".

Now she practices internal energy in the pool every night.

Because Doctor Min helped her integrate the sword bone spirit into her body, her strength has increased rapidly recently.

Yesterday at Bu Si Gui, she clamped a branch between her toes and knocked Lan Ruomei's purple lightning swords away. It was unbelievable."

Li Dan focused on recounting the process of the sword fight between Xiaoyu and Lan Ruomei yesterday.

He then emphasized, "Old Du, who doesn't want to return home, is not joking with Liu San.

Lei Zhen of the Tianmen Society failed in his attempt to break through to the human immortal level. His true Qi was flowing backwards and his meridians were ruptured. He probably won't live for more than a few months.

Lei Zhen naturally hoped that his son Lei Tianyang could inherit the position of leader.

Lei Tianyang is Liu San's illegitimate son, so her position cannot change.

But Boss Du, who had no desire to return home, secretly took refuge with the "Poisonous Hand Yama" Hao Ruhai.

Last year, on your birthday, Hao Ruhai gave you a 500-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, and you even had a drink with him."

Li Dan looked at the prince cautiously, and seeing that he had no expression on his face and his eyes did not even flicker, he lowered his head and continued, "In addition to Hao Ruhai, the other leaders of the Tianmen Society, such as 'Four Seasons Sword' Zhang Manqing, 'White Bone Whip' Hai Wei, and 'Drilling Rat' Bai Tiansheng, all have ideas about the position of leader.

After all, becoming the leader of the Tianmen Club not only brings fame and fortune, it also represents a chance to become an immortal."

"According to the old rules, let those helmsmen fight among themselves, either with wisdom or with force, and the strongest one will become the sect leader.

But from beginning to end, it cannot affect my business, let alone the stability of Tianmen Town. "Qinghe County King said lightly.

"Of course, no one dares to break the rules. Even if there is internal fighting, it will be carried out privately among several helmsmen." Li Dan said immediately.

The Prince of Qinghe County smiled slightly, "I thought Sha Manyu was completely ruined, but I didn't expect her to stand up again so quickly. She doesn't seem to be too depressed and is still making great progress."

"Dr. Min personally took care of her for three days and three nights! He tried his best to help her absorb the spiritual power of the sword bone into her body, so the 'internal energy' in her blood is very abundant. Now it is very easy for her to practice internal energy." Li Dan explained.

Prince Qinghe said with a smile: "It is easy to recover physically, but it is difficult to maintain an unyielding will!"

"So your Majesty, what do you mean?"

"Let's see what she achieves in the future. If she can become the second Five Supreme Sword Princess, I will give her the surname 'Li' and adopt her as my adopted daughter! If not, hey, I'm very busy."

The Prince of Qinghe is busy with all kinds of affairs. If she cannot reach the level of one of the "Five Supreme Swordsmen", it is not worth his time and effort to pay attention to her.

Li Dan nodded, not surprised by the prince's decision.

"Generals Li Hu and Li Bao, will you stay in Hongxiufang and wait for the big fish to take the bait, or will you withdraw?"

The Prince of Qinghe County smiled bitterly and said, "Ah Hu and Ah Bao are only good at stealth tracking, and they haven't even touched the threshold of human immortals.

If you really catch a big fish, it will just end up as the big fish eating the shrimp."

If the Fire Crow Army is still in Tianmen Town, the Tiger and Leopard brothers only need to contain them a little, and the big fish can be handed over to Marquis Lieyang.

Now the Marquis of Lieyang has left.
"Although Marquis Lieyang has left, General Chen Taiping and five thousand Yulin Guards are in Tianmen Town." Li Dan said.

Prince Qinghe hesitated and said, "The Imperial Guards were formed in recent months by drawing elite troops from various counties in the south. Their combat effectiveness is not important. If Chen Taiping is killed, it will not be worth it."

"Sha Manyu doesn't care anymore?" Li Dan said.

The Prince of Qinghe said: "I have an agreement with Guan Wenlong. The court can take over Sha Manyu, but the Guan family is mainly the Guan City God, and must bear part of the responsibility for watching over Sha Manyu.

Being able to kill Kong Zan and cripple the sword immortal Zhou Lang was not only due to good luck, but also because of the power of the Three Thousand Fire Crows Army.

But Kong Zan and Zhou Lang are both the top human immortals in the West, and most human immortals are not as good as them.

If Sha Manyu wanted to escape from Shu, ordinary warriors might not be able to stop him.

I don't want to waste too much manpower and resources on her.

So I placed Sha Manyu in Tianmen Town instead of Luodu."

Li Dan suddenly realized and asked, "After Li Hu and Li Bao are withdrawn, if the Eight Immortals of the West take revenge on Sha Manyu, will Guan Chenghuang also take action? And Dou Gengyan, you know her talent."

"If Guan Laogui was willing to fight against the Eight Immortals of the West, the Guan family would not be so eager to throw away 'Guan Yu'. His responsibility is only to ensure that Sha Man Yu stays in the territory of Shu within ten years."

The Prince of Qinghe turned his head and glanced at the lacquer garden official, and then said, "I didn't say to withdraw Ah Hu and Ah Bao.

All I care about is Chen Taiping.

General Chen is a rare immortal general who is absolutely loyal to our Great Shu royal family.

It's not worth it to be killed at the hands of the Eight Immortals of the West.

Ah Hu and Ah Bao will stay at Hong Xiu Fang from now on.

Let them move with the camera.

When encountering an emergency, first send out a message to the outside world, summon the Tianmen garrison and the gang leaders to surround and kill the invading enemies together.

Well, go and say hello to the immortals in Tianmen Town.

I will use my connections to ask them to help me out when the time comes. If they can succeed, then they will succeed. There is no need for them to risk their lives."
