After Chen Yu left, Wu Yuanshuang was still thinking and didn't even pay attention to Qin Mo who was let go by Qin Shanhai.

Qin Shanhai did not disturb him anymore, but continued to drink tea leisurely. Qin Wan stood aside obediently and poured tea and water for his father, but he was obviously a little distracted.

After a long while, Wu Yuanshuang raised his head and asked softly: "What do you think of what the young man said?"

"Madam knows that I am not very interested in this book, so why bother to ask me." Qin Shanhai said lightly: "What I said to Gaozu before is my attitude. The content of this book can be trusted by officials and by the people.

It’s trustworthy, but you can’t be trusted.”

Wu Yuanshuang frowned, pretending to be coquettish and said: "I talk to you about 'Tao' and 'Virtue', and you talk to me about court..."

Qin Shanhai hesitated, laughed a few times, and then said: "Cultivation of virtue is a good thing..." After saying these few words, he stopped talking.

Today's Great Chu has foreigners eyeing it in the north, rebels in the west dividing the territory and splitting the land, and remnants of the previous dynasty secretly watching inside. It can be described as internal and external troubles.

However, the spread of the Tao Te Ching has caused disagreements in the court on how to resolve these matters. Some pedantic and ignorant civil servants even began to say "let nature take its course" and wait for these matters to subside on their own.

This change in the court and this outrageously ignorant statement once made him feel deeply worried. How could a country rely on destiny to maintain its continuity?

As a loyal soldier to the country, he only believed that the sword in his hand could protect Chu.

But there are some things that he can't stop, and the great ancestor who sits high in the court can't stop it either, because most of the contents of this book are indeed of great benefit to the governance of the country and the people. It has gained a lot of support among the people and is deeply loved by civil servants.

Respected.

Thinking of this, Qin Shanhai smiled helplessly. The old brother in the palace must not be having an easy life.

So...there are some things that he must do, and he is already doing it.

Wu Yuanshuang obviously noticed that his previous words triggered some unpleasant things, so he stopped talking and stopped talking about the Tao Te Ching.

The room became silent again. Qin Wan looked at Qin Shanhai, who looked calm but was obviously thinking about something. He picked up the oranges in the fruit basket and peeled them carefully, removing the white strands outside the pulp one by one.

The root was removed and handed over.

The orange was handed to him. Qin Shanhai smiled, took it, and looked at Qin Wan. As he looked at it, his expression gradually became complicated.

"Wan'er, that boy is indeed a little different, but... he's too thin."

The atmosphere suddenly changed, and the topic suddenly changed. Qin Wan, who was peeling the second orange, raised her head with a confused look on her face and asked inexplicably: "I'm just thin, what does it have to do with me..."

"Pfft." Wu Yuanshuang, who was still thinking about philosophical issues, suddenly laughed out loud. She understood what her husband meant, otherwise there would be no need for him to bring a young man he had never met to come to her for treatment.

"I'm afraid Lang Jun has misunderstood. Wan'er didn't like this handsome young man."

"Um...really?"

Qin Shanhai looked at his daughter with confusion on his face, while Qin Wan looked at her own father blankly.

Wu Yuanshuang looked at the father and daughter, smiled again, and said: "What do you, a rough man like you, know about the thoughts of my daughter's family? But this young man is good-looking and well-educated. Whose son is he from?"

, the man had already walked back to the squat and sat down next to Qin Wan.

Qin Shanhai still looked at Qin Wan with confusion and asked: "You said that boy is different because you don't like him, but you still have to risk his life to save him?"

"That guy is full of evil and insidious. I just... think it's fun to investigate cases with him." Qin Wan rolled her eyes and said.

Qin Shanhai stared at Qin Wan blankly for a while, and then said: "If you don't like it, then you don't like it." After that, he turned to look at Wu Yuanshuang and said: "That guy is a spy, he is pretty good. Now

It seems that he is still a versatile man in both civil and military affairs."

Wu Yuanshuang frowned slightly and said in a low voice: "How can you be a spy with such a literary talent?"

"Well, what Madam said is that I have to find a way to recruit people to join the Red Tiger Army."

"..."

...

...

In the palace courtyard, Chen Yu followed Qin Mo and walked slowly.

The second son of the Qin family in front of him, like his mother, had no reputation outside and was rarely mentioned by anyone. He couldn't help but look at him curiously, only to find that the other party was also looking at him sideways.

"I heard that your name is Chen Yu. I heard that you killed fourteen people who were chasing you in the woods alone. How did you do it?" Qin Mo suddenly asked, with a curious look on his face.

Chen Yu was startled when he heard this. Where did he kill fourteen?

He clearly remembered that when he fled into the woods, there were only eleven attackers chasing him, and ten of them were confirmed dead.

"Could the extra people be the reinforcements?" I thought to myself, and couldn't help but frown, feeling very strange.

But Qin Mo kept asking, so Chen Yu had to temporarily put aside his doubts and mumble a few words, but the other party listened with interest and seemed to be very interested in the fight.

After chatting for a while, Chen Yu learned that this second young master had been studying literature since he was a child under the education of his biological mother and had never practiced martial arts.

It is a rare thing to think that King Wuling, who spent his life as a soldier, had a wife who loved reading and a son who developed into a scholar.

While chatting, Qin Mo suddenly noticed the two trench knives stuck on Chen Yu's waist. His eyes lit up and he asked, "What kind of weapons are these? Can you let me see them?"

Chen Yu didn't think much, pulled out a trench knife and handed it over.

Qin Mo took it with both hands, stopped, turned the trench knife over and over carefully, and muttered: "What a wonderful idea. Adding a glove to the handle of the knife can not only stab you when you are close, but

If you hit the enemy, the punch when necessary will also be lethal..." As he said that, he looked at the blade which was obviously different in color from the blade, then flicked the blade with his fingertips, raised it to his ear and listened.

There was a crisp sound, and after a moment, he praised: "Forged with steel, covered with earth and burned with a blade, Brother Chen, who made this weapon? It is so exquisite."

Chen Yu was stunned when he heard this, and just looked at it for a few times. After hearing the sound, he could tell that this second young master was an expert, so he briefly talked about making weapons, but concealed the fact that he had provided the drawings of the trench knife.

I just said that I had a unique eye and could see the extraordinary quality of these two daggers at a glance, and specifically asked for them to be forged using ancient methods.

After listening, Qin Mo's eyes flashed, as if he had met a confidant, and he mysteriously pulled him in another direction. After turning around a few times, the two of them came to an inconspicuous small building leaning against the courtyard wall.

In front of the house.

...

Chen Yu followed Qin Mo into the room. When he saw the scene in the room, he was stunned for a moment. He had a deeper understanding of the Qin family's education and the degree of freedom of the Qin family's children.

This second young master did not practice martial arts, and he obviously did not study Chinese literature seriously under his mother's discipline.

There are at least dozens of long and short weapons placed throughout the room. In addition to some conventional swords, guns, swords and halberds, there are also some strange-looking weapons.

On a large wooden table in the middle, there are scattered hand-drawn weapons blueprints. With a wide eye, you can't count how many there are.
