Chapter 839: More than One Childhood Sweetheart?
Lin Wan'er, who was taking a peek in the carriage, had just seen Ye Ling'er fighting with someone, and was worried for a while. However, when the other party appeared, Ye Ling'er acted like a daughter, and Lin Wan'er was stunned. She She had been frail and sick since she was a child, and she only had Ye Ling'er as a close friend in her childhood. In her impression, Ye Ling'er was stronger than most boys, and she never shed a tear even if her bones were broken.
Lin Wan'er couldn't help but look at the strange man curiously, wanting to see who could make Ye Ling'er look like this. After a closer look, she suddenly felt that he looked familiar. She seemed to have seen him in Qing Temple before, but she didn't know who he was. origin.
Here, facing Ye Ling'er's question, before Qin Hao had time to answer, Fan Ruoruo had already stopped between the two of them and stared at Ye Ling'er.
"Why does brother Qin Hao want to see you?"
He turned around and looked up at Qin Hao with questioning eyes: "Are you familiar with each other?"
Qin Hao was a little dumbfounded: "I met Grandmaster Ye before when we went to the Ye family's old house. I taught her palm skills."
Fan Ruoruo's eyes lit up and she immediately turned from anger to joy: "So, she is your apprentice?"
Ye Ling'er snorted: "I haven't officially become a disciple, so I can't be considered a disciple. What is your relationship with him?"
Fan Ruoruo held his head high, put his hands behind his back and hummed softly: "Huh, brother Qin Hao and I grew up together in Danzhou when we were young. We have a good relationship."
"I remember you came to the capital when you were less than six years old. I'm afraid you haven't remembered such a small thing for a long time, right?" Ye Ling'er immediately retorted.
"you"
Seeing that the two of them were at war with each other, Qin Hao quickly changed the subject: "Ling'er, you just said that the princess wants to meet Fan Xian, right?"
Ye Ling'er glared at Fan Ruoruo fiercely and nodded reluctantly.
Not to be outdone, Fan Ruoruo immediately gave Ye Linger an unconvinced look in return.
Qin Hao couldn't help but have a headache, so he could only interrupt again: "Fan Xian is drunk. I'm afraid he won't be able to meet the princess. Why don't we make an appointment at another time?"
Ye Ling'er was about to say something when Lin Wan'er's gentle voice came from the carriage: "Since Mr. Fan is ill, let's see you another day."
Hearing this, Ye Ling'er didn't know what to say, so she could only turn around and return to the carriage at the Princess's Mansion.
It wasn't until Qin Hao was no longer seen at the corner of the street that Ye Ling'er withdrew her reluctant eyes.
"So it turns out that our Ling'er already has a sweetheart?"
When Ye Ling'er raised her eyes, she saw Lin Wan'er looking at her with ambiguous eyes. She was immediately embarrassed and said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about, what kind of sweetheart are you?"
"Hey, you still said no. I didn't know who it was just now. I wish I could have eyes on him." Lin Wan'er covered her mouth and chuckled.
Faced with Lin Wan'er's teasing, Ye Ling'er's cheeks turned red in a rare moment.
"What are you talking about? I'm ignoring you."
Lin Wan'er coughed slightly, but still had no intention of letting Ye Ling'er go easily, and reached out to hold her arm.
"Tell me your story."
Ye Ling'er was so beaten by her that she had no choice but to turn on the memory mode.
Lin Wan'er became even more interested after hearing this: "This should be considered a childhood sweetheart, right?"
"Hmph, I'm not the only childhood sweetheart of his, and so is Fan Ruoruo."
At this point, Ye Ling'er couldn't go on. When she thought of Fan Ruoruo's delicate appearance, she couldn't help but worry. She was dancing with guns and sticks every day. What if "he" didn't like it?
Lin Wan'er, who had been best friends for many years, could see Ye Ling'er's worry at a glance and held her hand to comfort her.
"These delicate girls are everywhere in the capital, but a girl as heroic and handsome as you is unique. If I were him, I would definitely choose you."
Ye Ling'er lowered her head shyly after hearing this: "Wan'er, what are you talking about? I won't pay attention to you."
On the other side, Qin Hao was sitting in the carriage facing Fan Ruoruo's questioning eyes.
Qin Hao couldn't help but feel a little funny: "Ye Ling'er was only six years old when I met her."
Before Qin Hao could finish his words, Fan Ruoruo interrupted angrily: "Then I was less than six years old when I left Danzhou."
Well, why did this girl obey Fan Xian's words, and yet she was so sharp-tongued when she came to him? He was so shocked that he didn't know how to answer the question for a moment.
Versace suddenly seemed to have discovered some terrible secret, grabbing Fan Ruoruo's arm and shouting: "Sister, did that girl from the Ye family like him just now?"
Fan Ruoruo grabbed Versace's arm so hard that it hurt so much that he almost jumped up and flipped over the roof of the car.
"Ouch, sister, why are you pinching me?"
Qin Hao couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing. Fan Ruoruo couldn't help but laugh when she saw Versace jumping up and down.
The two people's eyes met, and everything before seemed to disappear at this moment.
At this moment, the carriage also arrived at the side entrance of Fan Mansion.
As soon as Versace got off the carriage, he drove off to find Aunt Liu and cried for money. Fan Ruoruo hesitated for a long time and said to Qin Hao firmly: "You are not allowed to see her alone."
Qin Hao said with a playful smile: "Who are you meeting?"
"Ye Ling'er!" Fan Ruoruo said angrily with her hands on her hips.
"Then I'll take you with me then."
"Hmph, I don't want to see her. It's best not to see her for the rest of my life."
After saying that, Fan Ruoruo ran in holding up her skirt.
On the other side, Guo Baokun reported what happened today to his father Guo Youzhi. Guo Youzhi pinched the bridge of his nose when he heard it.
"Stupid, you are so blatantly embarrassing Fan Xian, do you really think that the inspection agency is just a show-off? If Commander Qin hadn't been merciful today, I would have gone to Jingzhao Mansion to recruit people for you. How could I, Guo You, have given birth to you because of my reputation in this life? Come on, such a fool!"
Guo Baokun couldn't hold his head up after being scolded, and said aggrievedly: "Then I also hope to help His Highness the Crown Prince."
"If you don't succeed enough, you will fail. Just don't cause trouble for me!" Guo Youzhi took a deep breath and was almost pissed to death by this idiot.
After saying that, Guo Youzhi walked away in a carriage and headed to the East Palace.
After listening to Guo Youzhi's report, the prince comforted him: "Today's work for your son is not completely in vain. At least Commander Qin let him go, which shows that he has not yet joined the second son's subordinates. He still needs to find a way to win over him as soon as possible, so as not to let the second son grab him." Got the chance.”
"That's right, but Commander Qin has won His Majesty's favor recently, and he is the youngest ninth-grade master in the Qing Kingdom. Ordinary objects may not arouse his interest." Guo Youzhi was a little embarrassed.
The prince smiled playfully: "Human beings will have weaknesses. Guo Shangshu, did you hear that the eldest daughter of the Fan family and the eldest daughter of the Ye family were jealous in the street today and almost got into a fight?"
"Is there still such a thing?"
Guo Youzhi immediately understood: "Your Highness means to use women."
"Yes, it is difficult for a hero to be a beauty. I heard that on the first day our Commander Qin returned to the capital, the eldest lady of the Qin Mansion stuffed a beautiful maid into his room. Commander Qin left her behind that night. ”
"What your Highness said is absolutely true." Guo Youzhi thought for a moment: "Your Highness, I heard that a stunning courtesan has come to the capital, her name is Si Lili. She is an expert in both sex and art. It must be that only such a woman can win Commander Qin's heart. ”
"Si Lili? He's the top star of Zui Xian Ju? A beauty paired with a hero is a good story, so Guo Shangshu has worked hard for this."
"Working for His Highness is not hard work."
On the other side, Qin Hao was called to the palace as soon as he left Fan Mansion.
It happened that Gong Dian was coming out of the palace. Seeing his gloomy look, Qin Hao asked curiously: "Senior brother, what is this?"
Gong Dian let out a long sigh and patted Qin Hao on the shoulder: "Junior brother, be careful of the inspection agency. Don't be so smart that you think you can hide something from His Majesty so that you can take care of yourself."
After saying that he staggered away, Qin Hao looked at Gong Dian carefully and found that there were no traces of injury on his body. His energy was still at the level of an eighth-grade master. He should not have suffered any internal injuries. The only explanation was that Emperor Qing's attack Broken his psychological defense.
Qin Hao couldn't help but sigh. Gong Dian is actually not too old and has good qualifications. It is possible to advance to the ninth level in the future, but now he has a psychological problem. If he cannot break through, he will only be able to stay at the eighth level in this life. At the pinnacle of the rank, there is no possibility of reaching the ninth rank.
At this moment, the majestic palace in front of him was like a crawling giant beast, with its bloody mouth open, but Qin Hao stepped in firmly.
"Your Majesty, Commander Qin has arrived."
Emperor Qing was still dressed slovenly and casually, and seemed harmless to humans and animals. However, Qin Hao knew that this old Yinbi was the most powerful master in the world, and an invisible pressure came to him.
"Qin Aiqing is here, take a seat." Emperor Qing pointed to the seat in front of him.
Qin Hao didn't refuse and sat on it directly.
"How about Qin Aiqing having a talk with me?"
"This minister accepts the order."
Qin Hao was a little helpless. Why do these people always like to play chess with him?
Soon, more than thirty moves came down, and Emperor Qing exclaimed: "I didn't expect Qin Aiqing to be so skilled at chess at such a young age."
Qin Hao secretly cursed, it's obvious that your chess skills are too weak.
"Your Majesty is so complimentary."
Emperor Qing suddenly changed the topic: "I heard that Qin Aiqing didn't ask anyone to interrogate the woman caught that day?"
Qin Hao thought: Sure enough, he is here.
"Reporting to your Majesty, there is no need to interrogate. You can figure out who is behind this with just a little thought."
Emperor Qing snorted: "Then who do you think is the mastermind behind this?"
"Whoever has the most benefit from Fan Xian's reputation is naturally the mastermind behind the scenes. Your Majesty has spoken so eloquently that after Princess Lin gets married, she will hand over the inner treasury to her management. The inner treasury's financial power will take over all the world's wealth. Naturally, this does not mean giving up. It can be given up.”
"So, you are suspicious of the eldest princess?"
The two of them were asking and answering questions, which made Eunuch Hou on the side feel frightened and wanted to hide far away to avoid harming Chi Yu.
Qin Hao still played chess leisurely: "Don't you have any doubts, Your Majesty?"
As Qin Hao dropped a black stone, Emperor Qing put all the white stones in his hand into the chess box with a depressed look.
"I lost this round. Let's try again."
"This time, I will take charge of the black man."
As Emperor Qing spoke, he had already exchanged positions with Hei Baizi, and his first move was in the Tianyuan position.
"I have been playing chess for so many years, and Qin Aiqing is still the first to win against me."
Qin Hao leisurely grabbed the position of point three and three: "That's because no one else dares to beat your majesty."
"Oh? Then how come Qin Aiqing dares to win?"
Emperor Qing stared at Qin Hao with bright eyes. In an instant, an invisible aura enveloped the entire hall. Although Emperor Qing did not reveal any trace of his true energy during the whole process, Qin Hao could feel that it was the aura of the grand master. field.
Qing Emperor was indeed the most powerful among the four great masters. Just the aura surrounding him made the hairs on Qin Hao's body stand on end and goose bumps appeared on his arms.
"Your Majesty asks me to play chess, and I will try my best to play chess. It is only the duty of a minister to eat the emperor's salary and be loyal to the emperor."
Qin Hao gritted his teeth and tried to suppress the domineering true energy in his body.
"You are right to be loyal to your emperor. If all the officials in the court can be like Qin Aiqing, why should we worry about not being able to unify the world?" Emperor Qing laughed loudly, and the oppressive aura just now disappeared in an instant.
Qin Hao couldn't help but be secretly shocked. The strength of Emperor Qing was even more terrifying than he imagined. No wonder he was able to sweep away the other three great masters in the battle of Dadong Mountain.
"Your Majesty is wise."
Qin Hao flattered him, but he didn't hesitate at all. The white pieces fell and completely surrounded the dragon in the upper right corner of Emperor Qing.
"Your Majesty, it's your turn."
Emperor Qing held the black pieces in the air for a long time, but he couldn't put them down. No matter how he looked at it, there was no way out in this game. Counting this one, he had lost three games in a row. He was a little embarrassed. But he just praised Qin Hao again, and he was really embarrassed to go back on his word.
Just when Emperor Qing was hesitating, a young eunuch suddenly came over.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Lin wants to see you."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Qing threw the white piece in his hand onto the chessboard and said impatiently: "What a spoilsport! Can't you see me playing chess with Qin Aiqing?"
"Go, bring him here."
Qin Hao was speechless for a moment about Emperor Qing's shameless behavior. He was about to say goodbye, but was stopped by Emperor Qing.
"Prime Minister Lin also loves playing chess. Qin Aiqing might as well play a few games with him later."
Well, you are unhappy yourself, and you want to let others taste your pain, right?
As he spoke, the prime minister Lin Ruofu had already arrived in the hall and bowed his head.
"Lord Lin, please stand up." Emperor Qing helped Lin Ruofu up, and then introduced him enthusiastically: "This is Commander Qin. I just learned today that Commander Qin is amazing at chess, and Lord Lin is the best chess player in the court. It's a good opportunity for you two to have a conversation. It would be a good story."
As he spoke, Eunuch Hou had already moved the chessboard to a seat beside him.
Lin Ruofu had no intention of playing chess now. He came to the palace this time to ask Emperor Qing to withdraw his order and cancel the engagement between his daughter and Fan Xian.
However, since Emperor Qing had spoken, he did not dare to disobey, so he could only sit opposite Qin Hao obediently.
"Will Commander Qin play black or white?"
"I am a junior, so let Prime Minister Lin choose first."
While picking up the white chess piece, Lin Ruofu was also looking at Qin Hao. He had heard of this famous man in the capital and the youngest ninth-rank player in Qing Kingdom, but this was the first time he had met him privately.
He is handsome, powerful, and has a strong backing like the Ye family. He is a good candidate for a son-in-law.
Lin Ruofu's mind was in a mess for a while, and when he came to his senses, he had already lost the first game.
"Commander Qin is really good at chess, how about another game? I'm going to take it seriously this time."
