The Prodigal Son

For the next two days, Qin Yu didn't go out; he stayed home and worked on making his own life-saving tools.

This thing is simple in some ways, but difficult in others.

Make a show of it and make a big splash, easy!

However, ensuring both power and accuracy remains challenging.

Fortunately, Qin Yu was a craftsman in his previous life; he had even handcrafted drones, so this thing would be a piece of cake.

After two days, the basic shape of the handgun was achieved, but it still needed further polishing and processing.

In the past two days, news has also come from the Luo family.

While arranging the funeral, Luo Qingyuan and her brother sold off the last of the Luo family's assets.

Even the Luo family mansion was sold off at a low price of 30,000 taels of silver, and they would move out of the mansion after Luo Jianshan's funeral.

Qin Yu remained calm in the face of the Luo family's current dire situation.

There was neither schadenfreude nor excessive maternal instinct.

The Luo family has brought this situation upon themselves!

After dinner, Qin Yu followed Qin Fumeng to the Sifang Pavilion.

They received news that afternoon that Zhao Luan resolutely refused to be threatened by the Northern Qi's military force, and extremely firmly refused to return the fragments of the Nine Dragon Pendant, and expelled the Northern Qi delegation.

The Northern Qi delegation will be leaving the capital city early tomorrow morning.

If we don't act now, when will we?

"Qin Fumeng and Qin Yu?"

Empress Murong, who was discussing matters with Xiao Baoju, was somewhat surprised to learn of their visit.

Xiao Baoju was also somewhat surprised. "Could it be that they've changed their minds? And are willing to agree to our conditions?"

"Perhaps!"

Empress Murong smiled, "Perhaps Zhao Luan is only putting on a tough front while secretly getting the Qin family to agree to our conditions! This way, we can avoid war, do the Qin family a favor, and make them grateful to her!"

Xiao Baoju's eyes lit up. "Very likely!"

"I'll just sit in on the conversation. You can talk to them, but watch my eyes."

Empress Murong gave Xiao Baoju an order, then had the Qin family grandfather and grandson brought in, and also specially summoned Xiao Hu.

Soon, Qin Fumeng and Qin Yu were brought in.

"Are you all still awake so late?"

Qin Yu looked at the three of them with a grin.

"Speak your mind, or shut up!"

Xiao Baoju snorted coldly, neither ordering a two-seater nor asking anyone to serve tea.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yu immediately glared at Xiao Baoju with displeasure. "Don't be ungrateful! I have something very important to tell you!"

"Speak if you have something to say, otherwise get lost!" Xiao Baoju waved his hand impatiently.

They had taken the initiative to talk, but Qin Fumeng injured their people instead.

Now that they've come to talk, we should let them experience the feeling of being snubbed!

"If that's how you want to be, I'm really not going to say anything more!"

Qin Yu turned and left, sighing, "Poor Murong Dapan, he was a legendary figure after all, and in the end, even his grave is being dug up!"

Digging up graves?

Upon hearing Qin Yu's words, the expressions of the three people in the room changed drastically.

Murong Dapan was the founding emperor of Northern Qi!

"stop!"

Empress Murong suddenly spoke.

"What's wrong?"

Qin Yu turned around, looking completely bewildered.

Are you threatening us?

Empress Murong's voice was icy, her eyes fixed on Qin Yu.

"I don't like hearing that! What do you mean by 'threat'?"

Qin Yu snorted, "I accidentally saved someone the day before yesterday. He told me that someone wanted to plunder Murong Dapan's tomb! I came to inform you out of kindness, how did that become a threat?"

Xiao Baoju clenched his fists. "You think we'd believe your nonsense?"

What a load of bullshit tomb raiders!

The so-called tomb raider was none other than Qin Yu himself!

He realized that this despicable and shameless man was trying to threaten them by saying that if they didn't tell him how to cure congenital malformations, he would go and plunder the tomb of the founding emperor!

Using this as leverage is utterly shameless!

"I can give you a general overview of the situation! Whether you believe it or not is up to you!"

Qin Yu shrugged and slowly said, "Those people came from the four most powerful factions among tomb raiders: the Tomb Raiders, the Grave Robbers, the Mountain Raiders, and the Ridge Raiders..."

Next, it was Qin Yu's turn.

At this moment, the novels Qin Yu had read in his previous life came in handy.

Qin Yu vividly described to them the various tomb raiding schools and their specialized tomb raiding techniques.

They can spout off things like "finding the dragon vein and dividing the gold by looking at the winding mountains."

Not to mention Xiao Baoju and the others, even Qin Fumeng was stunned, glancing at Qin Yu from time to time, secretly suspicious.

This bastard spends all his time hanging out outside; could he be hanging out with tomb raiders?

What he said didn't seem like he was making it up.

How could you make something out so logically and coherently?

They even revealed the origins of various tomb raiding sects.

You beast, do you think he has too many legs?

That's roughly it!

After Qin Yu finished speaking, he looked at them indifferently, "If you don't believe me, just pretend I was talking nonsense!"

Seeing Qin Yu's nonchalant attitude, Empress Murong frowned immediately.

Are you talking nonsense?

What Qin Yu said was logical and reasonable; at least it didn't sound like he was making things up.

Of course, they could also bet that Qin Yu was making things up.

But you are, after all, the mausoleum of the founding emperor!

If the tombs of the Murong clan's ancestors were looted, it would be more than just a disgrace!

Xiao Hu's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and his face was frosty as he said, "Qin Yu, I warn you, if there is even the slightest damage to the mausoleum of our dynasty's founding emperor, our dynasty will mobilize the entire nation to attack Ning Kingdom!"

"Old dog Xiao, keep an eye on your son!"

Qin Fumeng didn't even glance at Xiao Hu, but warned Xiao Baoju with an unfriendly expression, "My grandson meant well! If he shows any murderous intent in front of me again, I won't hesitate to cripple him first!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from Qin Fumeng.

Sensing this imposing aura, Lu Ji outside immediately rushed into the house.

"Get out!"

Qin Fumeng waved his hand, unleashing a torrent of violent power.

Lu Ji barely managed to block the attack, but his body was sent flying several feet backward by the shock.

So strong!

Lu Ji was shocked.

I am also a ninth-rank master!

Qin Fumeng didn't even use his full strength, yet he defeated him with a single move?

This old guy was knocked down to the Grandmaster level by his master, yet he's still so strong.

No wonder this old guy is known as the number one person below the Grandmaster!

"Step back!"

Xiao Baoju waved his hand lightly and said calmly, "This is Ningguo. If that old dog Qin wanted to kill us, we wouldn't be alive now!"

But he believed that Qin Fumeng would not dare to kill them.

With the envoy from Beiqi killed, there would be no room for maneuver in the great war between the two countries.

At that time, all the blame for the war will fall on the Qin family.

"yes!"

Lu Ji bowed and withdrew, giving Qin Fumeng one last, battle-ready look before leaving.

"Xiao Hu, you have no right to speak here!"

Xiao Baoju glanced at his son, then looked at Qin Fumeng: "Old dog Qin, you should also control your grandson!"

"Xiao Hu is right. If the mausoleum of Emperor Taizu is disturbed, our dynasty will mobilize the entire nation to attack Ningguo!"

"Once my Northern Qi army invades Ningguo, nothing will be spared in its path!"

This is not a threat!

It's the truth!

If the Ning people dare to disturb the mausoleum of Emperor Taizu, the Northern Qi will fight them to the death!

Qin Fumeng scoffed, "Do you think I'm easily intimidated?"

"Besides, didn't you already say you'd fight to the death to retrieve the fragments of the Nine Dragon Pendant?"

"If you're going to fight, then fight! Stop with the nonsense!"

"Perfect timing! I also wish to avenge my children and grandchildren before I die!"

"I can also tell you that if Northern Qi wants to invade Da Ning, they'll have to step over my dead body!"
