Chapter 151 The temptation of power and power
after an hour.
Emperor Capital, Li's Manor.
At this time, the banquet had just ended, and the atmosphere of the banquet was very harmonious.
There were no other people in the field, only Li Mou's family of four, Qin Mo and Li Tiangang.
A few people never talked about any serious and important matters, just talked about some anecdotes and strange stories, and chatted about the scenery of various places in Daqin.
Except for Li Yuan's resentful look at him, Qin Mo's general feeling is still very good.
After dinner, the Duke’s wife took Li Mo and his brother and sister to find a way to go up to the second floor, and did not intend to participate in the conversation between Li Mo and the three of them.
She is a very virtuous, general-minded, and discerning woman.
Qin Mo had a very good impression of his wife.
So, the three of them were going to chat on the lawn outside, and waited for the second ancestor by the way.
But who knew, the moment they just walked out of the castle, Dang even saw a middle-aged man lying on a wicker chair not far away.
The man looked very lazy and casual, with his right hand resting on the back of his head, and in his left hand was holding a half-open book with an ancient style and yellowed pages.
This scroll is not a modern product at first glance, at least it has a long history of 500 years, and it may even be earlier.
The middle-aged man is now concentrating on the untitled book, as if it records the big secrets related to genes, which is extremely attractive.
Qin Mo and the others saw him, and he also saw them.
Before Li Mou waited to speak first, the middle-aged man put down the scroll, turned his head to look at the few people, his eyes were flat, and the corner of his mouth was smiling.
"I took a general look around, and the Li family in Qingyang is doing pretty well in the imperial capital."
He simply praised.
Hearing this, Li Mou and Li Tiangang froze in place.
Immediately afterwards, they suddenly stepped forward, knelt down on the ground, looked very respectful, and shouted in unison:
"Li Mou (Li Tiangang), a disciple of the Li family, has met the second ancestor."
What the two of them did was a grand ceremony of bowing down to their ancestors.
This is not excessive.
The blood of the second ancestor is more or less flowing in their bodies, and they are the genuine direct blood descendants of the second ancestor.
Even though the second ancestor has black hair, no wrinkles on his face, and is full of energy, his real age is already five hundred years old.
When Li Tiangang was just born, the second ancestor personally hugged him, and he looked like this at that time.
Now that Li Tiangang is almost dead, he still looks like this.
The mottled years seem to be hard to leave traces on the body of the second ancestor. He is like an ancient evergreen tree, standing in the Li family of Qingyang for hundreds of years without falling down, quietly watching the changes of the world.
And his true strength and the realm of the awakened have always been a mystery.
Everyone only knows that the second ancestor is very strong, very strong.
As for how strong it is, it is not clear.
At this time, facing the two people's bowing ceremony, the second patriarch accepted it calmly, then smiled slightly, waved his hands and said:
"Get up quickly, this is not in the family, so there is no need to be so particular.
I haven’t come out to see it for hundreds of years, but the world has really changed a lot. I have to keep up with the times, keep pace with the times, and not be left behind. "
The second ancestor had a strong smile on his lips. He stood up from the rattan chair, put the scroll in his hand into his trouser pocket, put his hands behind his back, looked up at Qin Mo who was not far away, and said:
"At only twenty-three years old, I have already been promoted to the king of heaven. With such a terrifying talent, I am far inferior to you."
Boom!
At this moment, it was as if hundreds of millions of tons of high explosives had ignited a fuse in the hearts of Li Mou and Li Tiangang.
The expressions of the two were surprisingly the same, their eyes widened, their jaws opened, and they looked shocked.
They knew that Qin Mo's talent was very high, but they really didn't expect it to be so high.
Even the second ancestor gave such an evaluation.
As he himself said, his talent is far inferior to Qin Mo!
What kind of gold content is this?
What level of recognition is this?
This is equivalent to saying that Qin Mo's future achievements will inevitably surpass the second ancestor, and even say...
Far more than the!
It is no wonder that the second ancestor chose to come to the imperial capital in person.
It turned out that he valued Qin Mo so much.
Li Tiangang and Li Mou are a little at a loss now, Qin Mo's talent has greatly exceeded their cognition.
But Qin Mo himself didn't respond, his expression remained the same, and his eyelids didn't even twitch.
After all, in his opinion, this is a matter of course.
You know, what he awakened is the superhuman gene, and the future power level will be able to arbitrarily traverse the universe, so why is it surprising that he surpasses the second ancestor?
What Qin Mo needs now is just a little time.
Give him another year, or even half a year, until his points in all aspects have increased to thousands or even tens of thousands.
At that time, Qin Mo was able to display the true power of Superman.
Therefore, after hearing this, he just said in a symbolic way:
"Second Patriarch's reputation is too high. No one can say for sure what will happen in the future. I still need to make unremitting efforts."
Hearing this, the Second Ancestor nodded with a smile, and the appreciation in his eyes became more intense.
Qin Mo was originally a self-effacing statement, but in his eyes, it was not like that, but it became a proof that he was neither arrogant nor impetuous.
"With such a talent and such a heart, this son will definitely do a lot in the future. It seems that my trip is not wrong."
Second Ancestor said to himself, he raised his evaluation of Qin Mo to a higher level.
Then, as he walked towards the castle, he said humorously:
"Let's go in first. Although the summer night in the imperial capital is not cold, there are quite a lot of mosquitoes."
This is of course a joke.
Based on his state, even if a mutated mosquito came, it would be impossible for him to bite through his skin.
However, the atmosphere in the venue quietly became more relaxed during the conversation, and the relationship between the few people quickly became much closer.
A group of people returned to the lobby on the first floor of the castle.
The Second Patriarch acted as if he had never been here before. When he first came in, his eyes wandered, and he looked around casually, not knowing what he was looking at.
Li Mou personally went to make a pot of the most expensive hot tea, and served it to the second ancestor and Li Tiangang one by one.
After the second ancestor took the tea, regardless of whether it was hot or not, he took it up and drank it down his throat.
Judging by the way he drank tea, he obviously didn't look like a person who knew tea, and he probably drank it as plain water to moisten his throat.
But no one dared to say this, even in the bottom of their hearts, they dared not think about it. Li Tiangang and Li Mou were very restrained, and they were both meticulous and upright.
Qin Mo is still the same as before, with his legs crossed, and there is no change.
He never cared about these things.
Do what you want, do what you feel comfortable with.
Qin Mo is such a person.
After drinking the tea, the second ancestor spoke out first, breaking the still tense atmosphere.
"Has anyone been to the royal family?"
"Reporting to the Second Patriarch, a heavenly king has come and has already been sent away." Li Mou said respectfully.
Hearing this, a strange color flashed in the depths of the second ancestor's eyes, he nodded slightly and said:
"Well, since that's the case, then I will go with Qin Mo.
The laws of the Great Qin Dynasty cannot be abolished, so do whatever you want. I, Mrs. Li, still have to follow the rules. "
"What the second ancestor said is true." Li Mou nodded in response.
"But well..."
The Second Patriarch suddenly changed the topic, got up and said:
"If someone doesn't obey the rules, then I, Mrs. Li, are not easy to bully."
Every word and sentence, although the words are very plain, but there is an unparalleled domineering inside.
Li Mou and Li Tiangang immediately turned serious, and once again agreed.
Immediately afterwards, Li Mou turned his head to look at Qin Mo, and said to him:
"Qin Mo, you have to go to prison for two days first, so as to block the mouths of Youyou and calm down their emotions temporarily, so that I can guide the public opinion.
But don't worry, Qingyang Li will get you out of prison as quickly as possible. This time will not be too long, three to five days at most. "
Hearing this, Qin Mo nodded slowly and said with a smile:
"Yes, anyway, the second ancestor will accompany me, so it doesn't matter how long I stay."
Li Mou: "..."
Li Tiangang: "..."
Li Er: "..."
At this moment, the three of them were speechless, and their old faces turned black.
What you said, it seems that if you don't get him out, even the second ancestor won't come out.
Li Mou couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, and quickly changed the subject:
"Do you have any other requests? Mrs. Li will try her best to meet them."
Require?
Qin Mo raised his eyebrows, his eyes flickered, and he thought for a while.
It's a request... but there really is one.
I saw him raise the corner of his mouth and show a bright smile.
“I need a sunny room with large windows and plenty of sunlight every day.”
Qin Mo said so.
…
…
Night, eight o'clock.
Li Tiangang drove his extremely luxurious super sports car, all the way through the imperial capital, and drove to the restricted area of the royal family.
As soon as they entered the restricted area, the noise of the street and the bustle of the summer night seemed to have left them in an instant.
Inside and outside the restricted area, there are completely two worlds.
There are only illusory neon lights flickering blue and purple on the road, and there is often no one in sight after walking tens of meters.
However, Qin Mo, who was sitting behind the sports car, was not fooled by the appearance in front of him.
In his expanded holographic field of vision, there are at least fifty flashing red dots hiding around the sports car.
Secretly, I don’t know how many pairs of eyes are staring at them, and most of these people are S-level awakeners, and only a few are A-level.
This is the power of royalty.
The so-called royal restricted area, more precisely, should be a military control area.
It's just that Qin Mo doesn't understand why such a place is specially set up in the imperial capital.
The royal family's explanation to the outside world is that in order to demonstrate the majesty of the royal family, there can be a gap between the royal family and ordinary people, so as to facilitate the management and rule.
But is this really the case?
"If it's really just to show majesty, then why arrange so many awakened ones here?"
Qin Mo thought to himself, he was still puzzled by this.
The restricted area of the royal family is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface.
There must be other deep secrets hidden in it.
While Qin Mo was thinking, Li Tiangang had already brought him to the depths of the royal restricted area.
The sound of the roaring engine gradually extinguished, and the car slowly stopped in front of a six-story building. There was a guard standing on the left and right sides of the building's entrance.
After seeing Li Tiangang and the two of them, the guard immediately became vigilant, and his eyes became very sharp.
These two people are two A-level awakeners, and their strength is not bad.
The A-level who has a very high status outside, but here can only be reduced to the gate, so the importance of this place is self-evident.
Qin Mo pushed open the car door and stepped down. He raised his head and looked at the big characters written on the left side of the building, his eyes narrowed slightly.
I saw that it said impressively:
"Daqin Prison"
Three simple words, but every stroke exudes a gloomy atmosphere.
If an ordinary person looked at these three words directly, they would probably shiver and shudder.
According to what Li Mou said, Daqin Prison is different from ordinary prisons. There are only two kinds of people detained here.
The first type, prisoners who are S-rank awakened or above.
The second type is prisoners who are S-rank awakened and above who have committed the most crimes.
Even the king of heaven can be imprisoned here. One can imagine the guarding force inside the Daqin Prison.
Just as Qin Mo stopped to look, Zhou You, who was full of fat, walked out from the inside with small steps.
He took a glance and found that only Li Tiangang and Qin Mo came together, and he was slightly relieved.
"Marquis of Guannei, the cell is ready for you, please come in."
Zhou You laughed and said that although he is the warden, he is not the king of heaven, so his posture is very low.
The last string in Zhou You's heart was finally loosened at this moment. He bowed to Li Tiangang and smiled, then turned around and walked in quickly.
There was only a bang, and the thick black door was closed, like a ferocious beast closing his star basin mouth.
At this point, Qin Mo was completely imprisoned.
Li Tiangang's **** mission ended here. He started the engine and drove the sports car to make a deft and elegant turn, preparing to turn back along the way he came.
At the same time, under the dark night, the top floor of the Great Qin Prison.
Wu Cheng put his hands behind his hands, restrained his breath, and quietly watched Li Tiangang who was gradually going away.
The corner of his mouth slowly curled up into a sarcasm smile, and a murderous intent flashed deep in his eyes.
If it wasn't for the fact that Li Tiangang's lifespan was running out, he wouldn't mind sending him off for the last time.
Of course, this needs to be done quietly, and cannot be discovered by Qingyang Li.
Otherwise, he will be hunted down by Li Shi forever and ever.
Wu Cheng thought this way in his heart, and couldn't help narrowing his eyes slowly.
But in the next moment, his eyes suddenly widened and his pupils shrank.
Seeing the driver's seat of the sports car that was about to completely disappear from his sight, Li Tiangang raised his right hand in a strange way, and made an extremely provocative gesture.
The **** stands upright, and the other four fingers are bent.
Li Tiangang knew that Wu Chengcheng was watching him from behind!
The heavenly king's threshold in front of him seemed to quietly... loosen a bit.
…
…
Two flowers bloom, each representing a branch.
At this time inside the prison, Qin Mo had already arrived at his private cell.
He looked at the eighty-square-meter room in front of him, and the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously.
"What the hell, is it actually a prison cell?"
Qin Mo cursed secretly, he couldn't help being a little dumbfounded.
To be honest, he really didn’t expect that there would be leather sofas, double beds, and…
High-definition screen projector.
If it weren’t for Daqin prison, I’m afraid they would have thought they were here for vacation.
His old house in Guanghong Street, Baiyun District is not so good!
"You really deserve to be in the upper class." Qin Mo sighed with emotion in a low voice.
He just said that he wanted a sunny room so that he could absorb the energy of the sun.
But who knew, the Li family in Qingyang actually arranged a "luxury suite" directly.
This is the ancient family that has been passed down for thousands of years. They have been deeply rooted in the interior of Daqin, their influence is beyond imagination, and the energy they can mobilize is extremely powerful.
Just like that, Qin Mo walked towards the bedroom while thinking in his heart.
But just a few steps after he walked out, he thought about it and turned his head to look at the leather sofa beside him.
The second patriarch was sitting quietly on the sofa, with his legs crossed, his chin resting on his right hand, and the yellowed scroll in his left hand, and he read it intently.
No one knows how he got in, let alone when he got here.
It seemed that he had been sitting there for a long time.
Of course, Qin Mo knew.
He has spiritual perception and is very sensitive to all changes in the surrounding things.
Li Ming's sudden appearance couldn't hide from Qin Mo's detection, and so did Li Er.
Although his methods are more advanced than Li Ming's, the current Qin Mo is not the previous Qin Mo.
He gets a lot of light energy points every day, which enhances all attributes of his body in an all-round way, and his strength grows very quickly.
"Are you surprised by this?"
Li Er suddenly shifted his gaze to look at him, and asked with a smile, interrupting his thoughts.
Hearing this, Qin Mo nodded slightly, and replied:
"It's indeed a bit unexpected, but if you think about it carefully, you don't think there is anything."
"Well, that's how the five families are. They can enjoy privileges almost anywhere. It seems that their status is naturally superior to others."
Li Er nodded, then shook his head and said, "However, I don't like this."
"Oh why?"
Qin Mo was a little surprised that Li Er and his family, as a group of people enjoying privileges, would say such words.
This really made him a little confused about what Li Er was thinking in his heart.
But Li Er didn't have the idea to answer Qin Mo's doubts.
He smiled again at the corner of his mouth, and said, "Why? I don't know why, anyway, I just don't like it."
After the voice fell to the ground, Li Er stood up, opened his arms, and stretched greatly.
He didn't wait for Qin Mo to speak, he immediately smiled and said:
"In the next few days, you can do whatever you want here, even if you are hungry and thirsty, Mrs. Li can arrange a few girls for you to come in.
Don't worry, I won't eavesdrop or peek. "
Qin Mo: "..."
Suddenly, he didn't know what to say, he was full of astonishment.
He originally thought that Li Erhui was an extremely serious person, but judging from the first contact with him now...
Obviously not.
It seems that there are not many serious Li family members in Qingyang.
Li Mou likes to go to Health Care, Li Tiangang is a frequent visitor to Health Care, and so is Li Er today.
Could it be that this is the fine inheritance of the Qingyang Li family engraved deep in the genes?
Qin Mo couldn't help but have such a guess in his heart.
And, the more he thought about it, the more likely it was.
Looking at his dark face, Li Er frowned slightly, and asked:
"What? Too little?
Oh yes, you are only twenty years old, young people are at the stage of vigorous energy at this time. "
Qin Mo: "..."
Should I say it or not, I’m very speechless, okay?
He didn't want to continue talking to Li Er anymore, so he turned around with a dark face and entered his room, preparing to rest.
It was already past eight o'clock in the evening, and less than two o'clock later, it was his usual bedtime.
Although people are in prison nowadays, they are considered prisoners to some extent.
But the living habits he should have will not change because of this, he will still choose to spend time in self-discipline.
The end of self-discipline is loneliness, and the end of loneliness is freedom.
Both body and soul, one must be free.
Qin Mo has always thought so.
As for Li Er who was talking outside the door, seeing Qin Mo not answering, he couldn't help shaking his head bored.
Afterwards, he continued to sit back on the sofa, took out the yellowed tome with a long history again, and read it intently.
It seems that there are really big secrets about genes hidden in that scroll.
But this is just a conjecture. No one knows whether it is hidden or not except Li Er himself.
Of course, Qin Mo didn't care about this.
Anyway, he is not an awakener, so what if he really hides a secret?
He was already lying on the bed, his eyes focused on his eyes, and he quietly opened the gene awakening panel.
Vision: 239
Listening: 232
Intelligence: 235
Breathing: 232
Strength: 239
Speed: 239
Recovery: 231
Defense: 238
His current attributes have become like this, and he has made great progress compared to before.
After the light energy points accumulated in the afternoon were evenly distributed by Qin Mo, the breath attribute once again reached the strengthening threshold, and the super breath was doubled!
Looking at the pile of more than two hundred numbers on the property panel, Qin Mo's mouth slowly curled into a smile.
"My current strength is already comparable to that of a Heavenly King, but Xia Zu should have only just been promoted, and his strength in all aspects is much worse than that of a real Heavenly King at the first level.
The royal king Wu Cheng and the second ancestor I met tonight are stronger than him, especially the second ancestor, whose strength is simply unfathomable and extraordinary.
I am still far from worry-free, so I can't relax, and I will continue to work hard to improve in the future. "
Qin Mo secretly told himself this in his heart.
Now, as his strength improves, the part of the world shrouded in fog is gradually unveiling to him, revealing its true face.
The higher the status, the more you know.
It can be said that this is one of the underlying rules of social operation.
But the more you know, the more dangerous it is to some extent.
Qin Mo has this feeling faintly now, he always feels that some major changes may occur in Daqin in the near future.
Perhaps, the long-lost peace will be ruthlessly broken, and a new chaotic world is coming.
You know, history is always surprisingly similar.
Eternal peace is nothing but a beautiful fantasy of the people, or it should be said that the world has never seen real peace.
There are only countless turbulent waves hidden under the surface calm.
It’s like a seemingly calm lake in winter. No one knows when the ice on the bottom of the feet will shatter, and whether a big fish will suddenly pop out after it shatters.
"Qi State, the five great families, the royal family... This is really an internal and external trouble."
Qin Mo murmured softly, then thought to himself: "What exactly does the royal family want?"
"The behind-the-scenes force of the Tiandihui is the Gaoling Xia Clan, and the Xia Clan has the secret support of the royal family.
The members of the Tiandihui have been assassinating the core children of the family, Xiazu is only thinking about being promoted to the unprecedented sixth Duke, trying to fight against the five great families...
If you look at it this way, then the powerful spiritual awakener whom the Xia family has never shown is obviously a member of the royal family. "
Qin Mo's super brain is constantly running, and according to the various information collected, he can infer the real purpose of the royal family.
His current intelligence is as high as 235 points, and his computing power is extremely powerful, and he realized something almost in an instant.
"It seems that His Majesty wants to support a new force and gradually weaken the influence of the five great masters on Daqin." Qin Mo whispered in his heart.
The contradiction between the thousand-year-old family and the royal family can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.
Moreover, the contradictions between the two sides are extremely deep.
The royal family of this generation is the weakest generation of royal family in the millennium, and the five great families are now at the apex of the Great Qin Dynasty.
The current situation of both parties is very embarrassing.
Then, the five members will naturally look at the chair above their heads.
The temptation of power and power, for people like them, is like the most delicious delicacy in the world, something that is impossible to resist.
In other words, Great Qin is very likely to breed civil strife.
It's just that Qin Mo doesn't quite understand one thing.
He understands that the royal family urgently needs a new force to break the established situation, but Xia Zu is collaborating with the enemy and treason.
The royal family would be so tolerant? Or even acquiesce?
He doesn't think that the royal family doesn't know what Xia Zu did, but I'm afraid His Majesty knows it clearly!
Qin Mo narrowed his eyes slowly, frowned slightly, and thought to himself:
"Qin and Qi are mortal enemies, and there are no five great families in Qi, all of which are decided by the royal family, which is stronger than Qin.
With such a powerful enemy staring at the front, His Majesty actually connives at Xia Zu's use of such a radical way to cause trouble. Isn't it a disguised form to give Qi a chance?
Your Majesty...are you so stupid? "
As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Qin Mo immediately denied it directly.
Of course Qin Huang could not be so stupid.
Whoever can become emperor cannot be a complete idiot.
Among them, there must be reasons that he doesn't know.
But from the information collected so far, it is difficult to find out why.
Qin Mo had no choice but to suppress this doubt to the bottom of his heart, and wait for more clues in the future before thinking about it carefully.
And, wait until a few more months, and thinking about it now is not a thing.
Based on his growth rate, it is estimated that he will be able to easily kill the Great Heavenly King in the near future.
Strong strength is the foundation of the troubled times.
Thinking like this, Qin Mo closed his eyes and fell into a deep dream.
A big chapter of seven thousand words
(end of this chapter)
