Chapter 85 Shock in the Imperial Capital
What is a champion?
Be the best in the whole army, be the champion yourself.
Although the marquis of this class are still marquises in name, they are treated exactly the same as the duke of the state, which is enough to show their weight.
However, if you really count it, Qin Mo's military achievements are actually a little bit worse, but...
With his great talent, age, and strength, and with the recommendation of the Li family of Qingyang, a thousand-year-old family, it is not a big problem to bestow the title of champion.
Qin Mo looked shocked. He really didn't expect that Li Mou actually wanted to make him a champion.
He has a clear understanding of the gold content of this title.
Not to mention, the 23-year-old Champion Hou has a bright future, which is hard to imagine.
A road to the sky exuding infinite light, from this moment on, slowly unfolded under Qin Mo's feet.
Looking at his expression, Li Mou was very satisfied, and he continued: "This is also what the Presbyterian Council meant, and only a champion can be worthy of you."
He smiled and said: "After you get the title, you can go to the border for another two years to practice. On the one hand, you can sharpen your strength, on the other hand, you can accumulate reputation and increase your qualifications.
When you return to the imperial capital next time, you may be able to take it to the next level and become the unprecedented Duke of Qin. "
Of course, this is inseparable from the operation of the Qingyang Li family.
Although Qin Mo's surname is not Li, but because of his close relationship with Li Mou and Li Yuan, why isn't he considered half of the Qingyang Li family?
In this way, the Qingyang Li family will have more say in Daqin, and Qin Mo...
He will also become the youngest Duke in history and the most dazzling genius of this era. Everyone can only look up at his back from a distance.
This is a win-win situation.
Qingyang Li believes in Li Mou's vision and Qin Mo's potential, and is willing to make such an investment.
Qin Mo didn't feel any different about this.
Apart from being a little surprised at the beginning, his mentality immediately returned to his usual state.
Fame and wealth are not that important to him, and they are not what he pursues.
Qin Mochu's heart has never changed. He can live a comfortable and leisurely life happily, and if he has enough strength, then it will be fine.
Of course, after being crowned champion, life must be not a little bit better than now.
This kind of huge improvement in living conditions does not require him to do anything, Qin Mo will naturally not refuse.
Besides, this is what he deserved.
"Anyway, brother, I can figure it out." Qin Mo waved his hand and said casually with a smile.
Hearing this, Li Mou nodded slowly, with a wider smile on his face.
Looking at his unabashed attitude, he couldn't help admiring Qin Mo even more.
I have to say that this kind of character alone is not something ordinary people can have.
"The result will probably be known at about ten o'clock tomorrow morning. It's getting dark tonight, so don't go back and stay here with me." Li Mou said.
Hearing this, Qin Mo thought for a while, then nodded.
"It's okay."
"Haha, I happened to have a good time playing chess with me tonight. Although your boy is stronger than me now, he is still a little tender when it comes to Go."
As soon as these words came out, Qin Mo couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, and asked quietly: "Some time ago, I don't know who lost several games in a row, and the one I killed threw away his helmet and armor, and was defeated."
Li Mou: "..."
The faint smile immediately froze on his face.
Li Mou glared at Qin Mo viciously, and said, "Do you know what it means to respect the old and love the young?"
"Okay, okay, I can let you have a hand."
After the words fell to the ground, Qin Mo put his left hand behind his back, and only used his right hand to twist the chess pieces.
Li Mou: "..."
For a moment, he was speechless.
When you say give up one hand, do you really give up one hand?
…
…
Two flowers bloom, each representing a branch.
While the two were fighting on the chessboard, the entire imperial capital fell into a "big earthquake"!
After several hours of fermentation, what happened in the afternoon finally spread throughout the imperial capital and reached the ears of every family.
The five thousand-year-old aristocratic families all have their own manors in the imperial capital. Although their lairs are scattered throughout Daqin, there must be someone in the family who is at the center of power.
Qingyang Li family, Yannan family, Changping Liu family, Far East Lin family, and Zhenbei Chu family, these five families are like five huge canopies covering all directions of Daqin.
As for the royal family, the current royal family is extremely weak.
At this time, several secret phone calls were made, and across long distances, they quickly reached the ears of the elders of various families.
A young S-rank awakener suddenly appeared in the imperial capital. Regardless of whether the news is true or not, it needs to be given enough attention.
Youth means infinite possibilities and a bright future.
How far it will grow in the future, no one can say for sure.
Of course, the most important point is that the relationship between Qin Mo and the Qingyang Li family is too close.
No one would like to see a new genius with full potential appear in another thousand-year-old family other than himself.
The same is true for the Chu family in Zhenbei.
Listening to the voice on the phone, Chu Xiong looked serious, and sometimes hummed.
After talking for a full quarter of an hour, he said slowly: "I know what to do. Tomorrow's court meeting, if you want to come to Qingyang, the Li family will do something."
"Well, I'll play it by ear."
The voice fell, and he hung up the phone, but the conspicuous thick eyebrows were still tightly frowned, squeezed together as if they were connected in a straight line.
Chu Xiong's appearance is 70% similar to Chu Tianjiao's, especially the thick eyebrows of the two are almost carved out of the same mold.
That's right, he is the current patriarch of the Zhenbei Chu family, Duke Chu of Daqin, a powerful S-level awakener.
"Qin Mo, Qingyang Li, twenty-three years old, Security Bureau..."
Chu Xiong narrowed his eyes slightly, and murmured softly. His right hand was placed on the table beside him, beating rhythmically, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.
Right at this moment, a rush of footsteps suddenly sounded from outside the door.
Chu Xiong turned his head to look at the door, and found that it was Chu Tianjiao striding into the small hall, clenched his fists tightly, and looked a little excited.
"Tianjiao, it's so late, what's the matter?" He asked.
"Oh? What news?" Chu Xiong showed doubts.
"This afternoon, there was a battle between S-class awakened people at the Lianhua Pharmaceutical Factory in Fuyun District. Have you heard the news?" Chu Tianjiao asked without answering.
Chu Xiong nodded slowly, and hummed lightly.
Seeing this, Chu Tianjiao immediately continued to ask: "Among the S-ranks fighting, is there a person named Qin Mo?"
Hearing this name, Chu Xiong immediately frowned, nodded and said: "There is no doubt that there is such a person, but it is not yet known whether this person really has S-level strength."
"Father!"
Chu Tianjiao suddenly roared excitedly, clenched his fists even tighter, and said with a blushing face, "This should be true!"
"What do you mean by that, how do you know?" Chu Xiong also saw something was wrong at this moment, and quickly asked.
Hearing this, Chu Tianjiao took a deep breath and let it out long, calming down his excited mood.
"I have known Qin Mo for a long time. I have seen the tip of the iceberg of his strength. He is extremely powerful."
"What?!" Chu Xiong suddenly stood up from his chair.
His expression was extremely serious, and he lost his composure a little. It's not because he didn't have the bearing of the head of a family, but because the news was so shocking.
Chu Tianjiao's next words are likely to affect the decision-making of the Presbyterian Church and the development of the Chu family in Zhenbei for decades to come.
A twenty-three-year-old S-class awakened person, this is really shocking, but even more frightening.
However, if this person has such a relationship with their Zhenbei Chu family, then...it will be completely different.
"Qin Mo and I are good friends. Not long ago, he attended the celebration banquet of the Pine Wind Club with me. I met him for the first time at..."
In the next few minutes, Chu Tianjiao roughly talked about how he and Qin Mo had never known each other since he returned to the imperial capital, and finally became friends.
After speaking, the small hall fell into silence, and Chu Xiong didn't speak for a long time.
After a long time, he said slowly: "If that's the case, then this kid's growth rate is really fast enough, with such a huge potential, the future is limitless."
Immediately afterwards, Chu Xiong suddenly turned his head to look at Chu Tianjiao, and said with a serious face: "Tianjiao, the relationship between you and Qin Mo must be well maintained."
"Well…"
Chu Tianjiao scratched his head and said, "Father, I'm not good at this, and since we are friends, why hide so many twists and turns?"
Chuxiong: "..."
Listening to Chu Tianjiao's words, he twitched the corners of his mouth, glared at him fiercely, and said with a look of resentment: "Sooner or later, you will drive me to death, oh, forget it."
He sighed, waved his hands and said, "You don't need to do anything more, you can get along as you want, it's all up to you, besides, take Qin Mo home for a while, and invite him more often Be a guest."
"Oh oh oh, any more?"
"No more, get the **** out."
"That's fine."
After the words fell, Chu Tianjiao turned around and strode out.
Looking at his generous back gradually disappearing from sight, Chu Xiong muttered in a low voice: "Why did I give birth to such a fool?"
"But, Tianjiao is lucky."
A smile appeared on Chu Xiong's face again. He picked up his mobile phone from the side and dialed the Presbyterian Church in Beijun again, and the call was connected quickly.
Five minutes later, Chu Xiong hung up the phone again, with a faint smile on his lips.
"The twenty-three-year-old Champion Hou, the youngest Duke of Qin, has an unlimited future." He murmured softly.
Obviously, Chu Xiong had guessed what Li Mou wanted to do.
This is not a difficult task. Both of them are the contemporary patriarchs of a thousand-year-old family, and they have the same ideas on many things.
This is called, Heroes see the same thing.
However, not everyone is like the Zhenbei Chu family, and there happened to be a disciple in the clan who had a relationship with Qin Mo.
This night is destined to be a sleepless night.
…
…
One night without words, the next morning.
Cars with high cost but low-key appearance all drove towards the easternmost part of the imperial capital, and entered the restricted area of the royal family one after another.
They come from various regions of the imperial capital, and they are important officials in various departments of the Great Qin Dynasty. They hold important positions and have a very high status.
The black car stopped slowly in front of a quaint hall, and then the door opened, and Li Mou, who was dressed in formal attire, got out of the car.
He didn't take a step directly, but stood on the spot, quietly watching the hall in front of him, the corners of his mouth slowly turned up, revealing an imperceptible sarcasm.
This generation of the Great Qin imperial family is the weakest generation since the founding of the country by His Majesty the Taizu Emperor, not one of them.
Afterwards, Li Mou walked towards the palace gate alone.
This hall was left over from hundreds of years ago. Logically speaking, it should have been demolished a long time ago. This kind of old antique should not appear in this increasingly modern metropolis.
However, the reason why it is still preserved today is to some extent a manifestation of the majesty of the royal family.
But that's all.
After entering the main hall, dozens of eyes immediately cast their gazes on Li Mou, and the voice of the Duke of the Kingdom rang in his ears one after another.
Li Mou did not return the salutes one by one, but nodded symbolically, then walked to the front of the hall, pulled out his chair, and sat straight in it.
A huge long table was placed in the hall, and everyone sat in order according to their status.
There is such a table in such a simple and unsophisticated hall, no matter how you look at it, it is very abrupt, and the layout and design are extremely unreasonable.
This is a new addition later, a helpless choice made when there is no other way.
After all, these dukes can’t be allowed to stand and discuss matters, can they?
His Majesty the Emperor might have such an idea, but Li Mou and Chu Xiong, who have several thousand-year-old families, are not willing to accept him.
Within a quarter of an hour after Li Mou arrived, Chu Xiong and others appeared one after another, and the heads of the five great families all sat at the top of the long table.
The conversation in the hall gradually became smaller until it disappeared, completely falling into silence.
Afterwards, a thin figure wearing a black Kowloon robe stepped out from the side and rear of the hall.
The moment this person appeared, the sound of tables and chairs colliding sounded, everyone got up and stood up, even the five thousand-year-old family was no exception.
This is due respect to the Great Qin imperial family.
"I have seen His Majesty." Everyone said in unison.
"There is no need to be so polite, just sit down."
Qin Huang said with a smile on his face, his appearance is very correct, except that his face is slightly pale, there is nothing surprising.
Looking like ordinary people, just like ordinary people.
Recently, my physical condition is not good. I have a little problem with my heart. It may be because I have been staying up all night and my work and rest are reversed. Therefore, the update volume is not very strong. I will try to release more codes. I am really sorry
