"Are you guys still investigating?" At this moment, Qin Mu questioned.
"Ah?"
The officer was stunned for a moment before nodding." Check!”
Immediately after, Qin Mu didn't avoid anything and raised his foot. When he saw that there weren't any wounds on his foot, the commander cupped his fists." Thank you for Young Master's understanding.”
Qin Mu smiled at this and pointed at the manor." Do you still need to search the manor?”
As soon as he said this, a hint of hesitation appeared in the eyes under the long armor." Young Master, since you are Lord Meng's friend, I naturally believe that you have nothing to do with this matter. The mansion is not bad.”
Actually, he knew his limits.
The other party had given him enough face by cooperating with his inspection. If he continued to push his luck, this matter would not end well.
How could he offend someone who Meng Yi was so respectful to and addressed as Young Master?
It was precisely because of this that it was better to avoid trouble. Even if they had ten times the courage, they would not dare to continue searching. Otherwise…not only would they lose their military ranks, but they would also lose their lives.
As he spoke, he waved his hand." Let's retreat!”
Immediately after, the other nine infantrymen straightened their bodies, held their spears, and turned to leave.
The commander also said goodbye and left in a hurry.
After they left completely, Meng Yi turned his head to look at Qin Mu." Young Master, I'm really sorry to have made a fool of myself…Actually, the commanders of the Black Armored Army who are responsible for the safety of Xianyang City are from the Prime Minister, so they take orders from the Prime Minister.”
"And I am the trusted aide of the King of Qin, so towards me…they show respect on the surface, but they are on guard in their hearts.”
When he said this, his tone revealed helplessness and bitterness.
In the Qin country, there were three major forces, namely the Empress Dowager, the King of Qin, and the Prime Minister…The Empress Dowager held power behind the curtain, the Prime Minister had power over the entire court, and only the King of Qin was weak.
However, as a member of the Meng family, he was only loyal to the king.
As a result, he became a thorn in the Empress Dowager and Lu Buwei's side. Although he looked majestic, he was actually treading on thin ice.
He had intentionally mentioned this matter to see what Qin Mu thought about it.
However, Qin Mu pretended not to know and raised his eyebrows." It looks like a storm is brewing in Xianyang City. It didn't matter to him. He just had to deal with his own matters.”
Err…
The moment these words came out, Meng Yi was rendered speechless, and his heart was in a mess.
A few short sentences had diverted his topic, leaving him with no place to use his strength, as if he had hit a soft sandbag.
However, he was still unwilling to give up and forcefully changed the topic," Young Master Qin…I said…I said if, if you were to sit in my position, which faction would you lean towards?”
"What if? There are no ifs!" Qin Mu shrugged his shoulders and teased," Only you are suitable for the position of the chief justice.”
"No, the point is not about the position.”Meng Yi explained anxiously.
However, Qin Mu smiled lightly." Then where? Could it be 'if'? But I said…there are no ifs!”
"You…sigh!"
Meng Yi was about to speak, but the words that were about to come out of his mouth made him swallow them back. He slapped his thigh and said," Forget it, I can't win against you."”
"Young Master Qin, I will return to the residence first. There are still a bunch of things that I need to deal with.”
As he spoke, he was like a child who was crying from anger. He flung his robe and walked out without looking back.
His figure gradually disappeared.
When Qin Mu saw this, he couldn't help but shake his head." Why do I feel more and more that…this Meng Yi is very cute?”
"I think he's a schemer, but in front of Young Master, he's slightly inferior. That's why Young Master has such a feeling.”At this moment, Violet Maiden, who was beside him, echoed.
"When did you become so good at bootlicking? Did you learn it from Zhang Liang?" Qin Mu teased.
Violet Girl rolled her eyes." What's there to learn from Little Liangzi? Besides…I'm telling the truth."”
As she spoke, she bowed and picked up the teapot. She poured a cup of tea for Qin Mu and casually asked," Young Master, if it were you, which power would you stand on?”
After she finished speaking, her beautiful eyes stared at Qin Mu, quietly waiting for his reply.
In fact, she was also very curious…When she was in Han Country, she had heard about the situation in Qin Country when she founded Zi Lan Xuan and searched for information.
The Empress Dowager held court behind the curtain!
Lu Buwei's power was overwhelming!
The Qin King was weak. If it wasn't for the law between the monarch and his subjects, the Qin King would have been crippled long ago!
In such a complicated three-way force, there would be different positions and considerations. Now that this question was brought up, she was very curious about Qin Mu's choice.
Qin Mu didn't answer and asked instead," If it were you, which side would you choose?”
Err…
The Violet Maiden rubbed her chin and muttered to herself. In the end, she shook her head, indicating that she did not know.
Lu Buwei was a businessman who valued profits. Under the drive of profit, anyone could be a pawn that he sacrificed. Moreover…according to her investigation, the Network was closely related to Lu Buwei. Such a dangerous person would die without knowing when.
Although the Empress Dowager was in charge of the government, it was rumored that she was a lewd person and had many male pets in the harem. She was not someone who could do great things!
However, the King of Qin, Ying Zheng, was young and weak. He did not have any political power in his hands, which was worrying.
Comparing the three, each had its own advantages and disadvantages!
It was precisely because of this that she did not know how to make a decision!
Of course... this was just a hypothesis, not a surrender. It was because... she followed Qin Mu, and wherever he went, she would follow!
When Qin Mu saw this expression, how could he not know what he was thinking?
Then, he smiled and did not answer the question. Instead, he stood up and stretched." Isn't thinking about this now a little too much? If he had the time, he might as well go to Xianyang City and look for a better location to open the Purple Orchid Pavilion as soon as possible.”
Hearing this, Violet Maiden nodded heavily." Young Master, what you said is true. When should we leave?"”
Qin Mu raised his head to look at the sun and the coronas in the courtyard." It's noon now, so I can taste some delicious food.”
"Young Master…and me…I'll go with you.”At this moment, Zhang Liang rushed out from the backyard.
He was in charge of the horses in the rear courtyard. He had just finished feeding the horses when he heard that Qin Mu was about to go out on the streets. Only then did he reply anxiously.
"Hurry up and change your clothes. We'll wait for you at the door.”Qin Mu asked.
"Alright, one incense stick worth of time…I only need one incense stick worth of time.”Zhang Liang replied, then turned around and entered the house.
Beside him, Violet Maiden asked curiously," Young Master, what about Senior Sword Demon?”
"Him? Yesterday, I fought with someone and gained some enlightenment. I'm currently cultivating…Don't worry about it. Let's go…We'll wait for Little Liangzi outside.”
Following that, Qin Mu led Violet Maiden and Zhang Liang into the crowd in Xianyang City, leaving only Dugu Qiubai to guard the courtyard.
