Chapter 126 Xia Zu's Expedition
Every information is clearly written.
Just an hour ago, there was a sudden large-scale mobilization of troops on the border.
Qi State provoked the war without any warning, and invested tens of thousands of troops. Daxia was caught off guard, and retreated steadily after being caught off guard.
After 40 minutes of fierce fighting, the border finally organized a decent line of defense, regained the lost position, and continued to counterattack.
No one knows why this conflict broke out without warning, and no one knows how long this conflict will last, and how it will end in the end.
The edited content on the news is over, and there seems to be a touch of sadness between the lines.
Where there is war, there is sacrifice.
If there is sacrifice, there must be grief and parting...
Qin Mo's eyes flickered, he took a deep breath, and frowned.
"It's not right to rush to do it at this time, what are the Qi people thinking?"
He was keenly aware of the problem.
You must know that the conflict between Qin and Qi is not a day or two, but a whole thousand years.
In a far-reaching war with such a long time span, the two sides must already know each other very well. Without absolute certainty, it is impossible for a large-scale conflict to break out. At best, it is a small friction.
Wars have always affected the whole body. The last border conflict is enough to see that both countries are deliberately controlling the scale of the situation to avoid further escalation.
Now, the border of Qin State has been torn apart. This is obviously not a small conflict.
Besides, the current timing is also very wrong. Although Li Mou was assassinated, he is not dead yet!
Therefore, deep doubts arose in Qin Mo's heart, and it was difficult for him to understand Qi Guo's thoughts.
The super brain was running rapidly, and combined with the known information to conduct detailed analysis and deduction, but in the end Qin Mo was still at a loss.
"Hiss... There is no reason at all, what is Qi's strategic intention to launch this war?
What benefits do they get from it? Could it be that there is something else I don't know? "
The public opinion that the public can see can never be the truth of public opinion.
This sentence can be said to be one of the basic rules of operation at the bottom of this hierarchical world.
At this moment, a hasty phone call suddenly rang in the room, breaking the silent atmosphere.
Qin Mo took out his phone and took a look, only to see that the call displayed on the screen was a call from Castle Li.
His eyes froze immediately, and a color of surprise appeared in his heart, and he couldn't help but secretly said.
"Sure enough."
As one of the five great families with transcendent status, the Li family is stationed at the border with most of their power.
Regarding this sudden war, the news Li can know must be the most comprehensive and true.
I just don’t know why Gubao’s phone call came so late, one step slower than the major media.
Qin Mo suppressed his doubts for a while, then pressed the dial button, and put the phone to his ear.
The familiar voice of the old butler of the old castle immediately rang from the phone, only to hear him say:
"Young Master Qin, you should have seen the news from the border, right?"
"Well, I just saw what happened at the border." Qin Mo asked.
Hearing the words, the old housekeeper paused for a while, changed a more dignified tone, and replied:
"Qi State did launch a war without warning. It is not clear what their motives are, but the scale of the conflict this time is far bigger than what you have seen, my son."
"Is it bigger?" Qin Mo frowned, his eyes flickering.
"That's right, the border was not only torn open by the Qi State, but an entire county was about to fall. Lin Shu, the guarding general of the Lin family in the Far East who had just taken office, was beheaded by the Qi State... "
Hiss!
Qin Mo sucked in a breath of cold air abruptly. He had expected that the scale would be huge this time, but he didn't expect it to be so big!
A county is about to fall, Lin Shu was beheaded by the crowd, this...
Qin Mo couldn't help but widen his eyes, looking shocked. This can indeed be called the biggest conflict that has erupted in the past century.
What exactly do the Qi people want to do?
What is Daqin doing?
The border hoarding heavy troops can be so fragile, it seems to be like paper, and it can be broken by others.
Qin Mo really doesn't understand, there must be some unknown tricks in it.
But since the old housekeeper didn't mention this to him, it's clear that the Qingyang Li family is still not very clear about it.
After giving him time to fully digest the news, the old butler went on to say:
"My lord, the news of the general being beheaded and the fall of the county will not be kept secret for long. The people will know sooner or later, and a court council will be held tomorrow morning to confirm who will lead the army to fight.
The head of the family was assassinated openly, no matter whether it was done by Qi State or not, at least they took over this **** pot steadily, and now they brazenly provoked a war, and the momentum of public opinion has reached an unprecedented peak.
The meaning of the Presbyterian Church is that someone is using this to divert the attention of the people and focus on outside the border, so the imperial capital may not be peaceful, so you have to be more careful. "
"look away…"
Qin Mo frowned gradually, and murmured softly word by word. At the same time, he pondered for a while in his heart, then nodded and said:
"okay, I get it."
"Then I won't disturb your rest." The old housekeeper said with a smile.
Qin Mo answered absently, and then the two ended the call.
The empty room once again fell into a lonely silence.
Qin Mo sat cross-legged on the sofa, still frowning tightly, his eyes flickering back and forth, as if he was doing massive analysis and calculation in his mind.
"Avert your eyes? Do you need to make such a big noise?"
The explanation given by the Presbyterian Church is indeed very reasonable and makes sense.
But the problem is that what Qin Mo said above, Qi Guo's actions are really too big.
He still believes that there are other reasons.
"The Gaoling Xia Clan secretly communicated with Qi State. There is no doubt about it. Could this matter have something to do with them?" Qin Mo whispered to himself.
If it is really just to divert attention, then needless to say, this is what Xia Zu did.
The recent major event in the imperial capital is that they are assassinating important officials of various departments.
Various conjectures kept popping up in his mind, but Qin Mo didn't know what the specific truth was.
However, since you can't figure it out for a while, there is no need to think about it.
As the saying goes, soldiers come to block, water comes to cover, just see the move and dismantle it.
Qin Mo shook his head, dispelled the complicated thoughts in his mind, kept his mind clear, went straight to the bedroom, climbed into bed, and fell asleep peacefully.
So and so, nothing to say all night.
Early the next morning.
The entire imperial capital fell into an unprecedented boiling state, as if a spark had been thrown into a keg of explosives. After meeting people, the three sentences of chatting could not be separated from the border.
The Daqin official also chose to publish a message at this time, and an emergency meeting will be held in the royal restricted area at 8:00 this morning.
His Majesty the Emperor appeared in person, strongly condemned the despicable and shameless actions of the Qi State, and said impassionedly that the Great Qin would definitely make Qi State pay the due price.
The blood of the Qin people must not be shed in vain!
This resolute speech directly pushed the status of the royal family to a peak.
Due to the weakness of this generation, the royal family of Daqin originally had little sense of existence, but after this incident, it re-imprinted a deep imprint on the people and consolidated its position invisibly.
Qin Mo looked at these reports in the newspaper, but his expression was normal.
He has seen too many such means, and it is impossible to have any mood swings.
After two lifetimes, he has long since become an experienced old fritter, and is no longer that eighteen-year-old young man with blood all over his body.
The darkness that exists in the upper class of this world is like naked vampires.
He still kept his previous biological clock unchanged, went out on time at 6:30, and then walked slowly towards the security bureau in the sun.
Waiting until nine o'clock, Qin Mo stepped into the office on the top floor on time.
Afterwards, he sat by the floor-to-ceiling windows, tidying up the table habitually, while waiting for the final result of the court council.
Fifteen minutes passed like this.
The phone call from Li's Castle rang again. After Qin Mo connected, the old butler just said a word.
"My lord, the result is out, Xia Zu is about to go to the border."
Hearing this name, Qin Mo's eyes immediately became awe-inspiring, but at the same time, there was a look of doubt between his brows and eyes.
Xiazu, the new champion, the Great Qin God of War.
He has been guarding the border for many years, and he has an excellent understanding of the various lines of defense and alignment personnel, and his personal strength is very strong, and he is guaranteed to be a ninth-level S-level awakener.
Not to mention, Xia Zu has a glorious resume. Not long ago, he beheaded a general of Qi State in front of the frontier.
It seems reasonable for him to go out in this war.
The candidate fell on Xia Zu's head, I am afraid that the people of Daqin will not have any accidents.
On the contrary, his momentum will go further.
But Qin Mo felt more and more that something was wrong, but he couldn't fathom Xia Zu's intention in this move.
After all, the Gaoling Xia family is a traitor, so sending Xia Zu there is not just like inviting wolves into the house?
Xiazu has guarded the border for many years, and Qin Mo would not believe it at all if he said that he did not manage it secretly.
If he had the heart, he might be able to easily collapse the small half of the border defense line.
"Could it be that Xia Zu's visit was intentional? He wanted to take the opportunity to rebel?"
Qin Mo had such doubts in his heart, but in the next moment he denied the guess by himself, shaking his head and saying:
"No, Xia Zu is not so stupid, what exactly is he trying to do?"
Qin Mo really couldn't figure it out.
Whether it was the war that Qi State provoked last night, or the Xiazu expedition that was negotiated today, all of them revealed strangeness.
Moreover, there are still weirdness everywhere.
The timing was so appropriate that Qin Mo couldn't help but think about it.
It's a pity that only the elders of the Li family in Qingyang and himself know about Gaoling Xia's collusion with the enemy and treason, and there is no mountain of evidence at hand.
Even if they sense something is wrong, they cannot stop it in a timely and effective manner.
You can’t go to the street and call Xia Zu a traitor, right?
With Xia Zu's current reputation, I am afraid that the person who shouted this sentence will be treated as a traitor first.
This is the horror of public opinion.
Qin Mo knew it clearly and could see clearly.
He hung up the phone casually, crossed his fingers behind his head, leaned back against the chair, bathed in sunlight, and felt extremely peaceful.
Qin Mo just waited and watched the changes, so as to plan for the future.
Anyway, Xia Zu's departure has only advantages and no disadvantages for what he is going to do now.
The Gaoling Xia clan would be much easier to deal with without such a strong man of unknown strength.
Thinking of this, Qin Mo raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a sneer.
"Ah!"
…
…
Six hours later.
Qin Mo, who took a nap at noon, raised his eyelids, opened his mouth and yawned, got up and stretched his muscles a little.
Immediately afterwards, he lay back on the chair again.
But this time, it was different from the morning.
Qin Mo silently released his super hearing, and the coverage area continued to expand towards the surrounding area.
After a few seconds, except for a few special places where there was no sound, the entire imperial capital was covered by him.
These special places seem to have mental barriers, which can resist the detection of others, and the protection is extremely strong.
For example, the hall where the court meeting is held, and several old castles with a long history, etc.
Qin Mo didn't pay attention to these for the time being, he skipped these special places directly, further narrowed the coverage area, and improved the hearing accuracy.
Immediately afterwards, as before, useless voices were removed layer by layer, leaving only the voices of people in the end.
Qin Mo's super brain has already begun to run rapidly, summarizing, processing, analyzing and distinguishing the thousands of massive information.
He uses the "keyword notation method". When he hears certain set keywords, he will quickly trace the source to determine the location of the sound.
Soon, the communication of all the people in the entire imperial capital has been included in Qin Mo's real-time monitoring.
Xia Zu had already left the imperial capital an hour ago, he stepped on an armed fighter jet flying to the border, and he reckoned that it was almost here now.
Qin Mo has confirmed that he will not care about the matter on the border for the time being, so he naturally wants to let go of his hearing and investigate the next target of the Gaoling Xia Clan.
The group of people who secretly entered the imperial capital from the Xia clan were all dispersed to various regions on the same day, and hid in silence.
This undoubtedly greatly increased the difficulty of detection. After all, there are tens of millions of people in the imperial capital. If you want to find such a few, you are obviously looking for a needle in a haystack.
But for Qin Mo, the difficulty is not very high.
As long as the other party will take action, it is absolutely impossible to escape his ears.
And so on, an hour flew by.
Qin Mo will withdraw his hearing every fifteen minutes to restore the mental power consumed by the super brain, to ensure clear thinking and flexible mind.
And when he released his super hearing for the fourth time, a certain sound eighty-seven kilometers away directly triggered the key words he had marked.
Qin Mo's expression changed immediately, and his eyes lit up.
