When the bell rings, all the candidates are in place.

The prince led a group of examiners into the examination room.

All the candidates stood up, bowed to the prince and shouted in unison.

"The students pay a visit to the crown prince!"

Everyone looked at the prince with admiration.

On the high platform, Luo QingHan, wearing a black robe, sat on the top with cold eyebrows and eyes. Other examiners were afraid of his momentum and were too low to move.

As a rule, the examiner should say something encouraging to the students before the exam.

Luo QingHan didn't talk at length, nor did he talk at length.

He said only faintly.

"Take a good test and don't let me down."

If you just listen to this sentence, it's nothing special. You can contact the efforts made by the crown prince for the HKCEE. All the candidates present only felt the emotion in their hearts.

The prince didn't hesitate to make a military order to let them have a good exam.

How can they live up to the prince's painstaking efforts?!

A crowd of candidates responded in unison.

"You must live up to your Highness's expectations!"

That night, Qin Chong asked for permission from the emperor and was able to enter the prison of the Ministry of punishment to visit Qin lie.

Qin Zhong was the younger brother of Qin lie. He was also the general of the auxiliary country and the Minister of war.

The two brothers, one literate and one martial, jointly supported the whole Qin family, forcing the emperor to give way to them.

But now, as the eldest brother, Qin lie has been sentenced to death. Tomorrow, he will go to the execution ground and end his life in the most embarrassing way.

Qin Zhong came to see him for the last time with wine and vegetables.

The two sat face to face, and the atmosphere was extremely depressed.

Qin Chong's eyes were red and his voice was full of grief and anger: "brother, I knew he was such an ungrateful villain. We shouldn't have helped him to the top!"

He didn't call the roll, but Qin lie knew he was talking about the emperor.

When the emperor ascended the throne, their brothers made great efforts in it. Now the emperor sits firmly on the throne and wants to hide the best bow of birds.

Qin lie looked haggard and lost a lot of weight.

He said wearily, "this is the end of the matter. Regret is useless."

Qin Zhong looked at the door and saw that the prison guards outside didn't notice it. He leaned over and said in a low voice.

"Brother, I've arranged for people. They will rob the prison car on your way to the execution ground tomorrow."

Qin lie frowned and rejected without thinking: "no, the emperor is not as stupid as you think. Since he dares to sentence me to behead in public, he must be fully prepared. He may be waiting for you to fall into his trap, so our Qin family will be completely finished."

Qin Zhong was worried: "I can't watch you die!"

Qin lie: "I'm dead. The Qin family still has you. But if you plant it, how can a lot of old and weak women and children in the Qin family live?"

Qin Zhong was speechless.

He hit the floor with one punch, and the accumulated resentment in his chest almost crushed him.

When the jailer outside the door heard the sound, he immediately looked into the cell. When he saw that the Qin family were all right and nothing happened, the jailer took back his sight.

Qin lie whispered by pouring wine.

"You hold half of the military power of Dasheng Dynasty in your hand. The emperor will certainly try to take it away from you. You can't wait to die. When I die, a young man surnamed Pei will come to you. He is a member of Xuanmen. Maybe he can help you."

Qin Zhong's face changed slightly when he heard the word Xuanmen.

Even if he was a general, he had heard about Xuanmen.

It's a sect that only exists in legend.

It is said that the people of Xuanmen know astronomy and geography, know the eight trigrams of the book of changes, and are very good at arranging troops and calculating trigrams.

The former Emperor indulged in seeking immortality and asked. He heard that the Xuanmen had the art of immortality. He spent countless human and material resources to pursue the whereabouts of the Xuanmen, but found nothing. He didn't find the Xuanmen until he died.

The people of Xuanmen, whom the emperor asked but couldn't, now take the initiative to help the Qin family.

Does this mean that the Qin family has more luck than the emperor?

Qin Chong was excited when he thought of this.

Qin lie saw what his brother thought, but he didn't mean to dissuade.

Judging from the emperor's current style of conduct, even if the Qin family does nothing, it will certainly be doomed. In that case, why not give it a go?

Qin Chong picked up the wine glass, tiger eyes in tears, word by word.

"Brother, you go first. If your brother doesn't succeed, then I'll go to you."

Qin lie also raised his glass: "I will bless you in heaven. I hope this last one is won by our Qin family."

The wine glasses touch each other gently and make a clear sound.

……

The next day, Qin lie was pushed to the gate of noon and beheaded.

After hearing this, empress Qin, who was praying for blessings in Shengguang temple, said nothing and knelt on the futon so quietly.

In front of her is a smiling and compassionate Buddha.

She bent down slowly, her forehead against the ground.

Tears spilled down the corners of my eyes and fell on the ground, leaving a trace of moisture.

From today on, her big brother will be gone.

She has one less relative in this world.

When the empress of Qin raised her head again, the tears had stopped.

She gently wiped the corners of her eyes with a silk handkerchief and stood up expressionless.

At this time, she looked terribly calm.

Pearl came up to hold her arm and said softly, "madam, Miss Xie came to Shengguang temple to offer incense today. She heard that you were here too. She wants to come and give you a greeting."

In the palace before, Xie chuxue had expressed her wish to see the queen, but they were all rejected by the queen of Qin.

Xie chuxue is the daughter of the Xiling king. The queen of Qin didn't want to have anything to do with the Xiling king.

But now the queen of Qin has changed his mind.

She said expressionless, "let her go to the meditation room and wait for the palace."

"Here."

……

Because of the disgraceful death of Qin lie, the funeral naturally can not be held in a grand manner, and everything can only be low-key and simple.

All aristocratic families sent people to the Qin family to offer condolences.

Most of these people came to inquire about Qin Zhong. They wanted to know what the Qin family would do after Qin lie died?

Qin Zhong was still immersed in the grief of losing his brother and ignored all the inquiries of these people.

Until, a young man in a moon white robe walked into the mourning hall.

He looks about twenty years old. His facial features are very exquisite. He has snow skin, red lips and narrow Phoenix eyes. He is even more gorgeous than women. However, because he is tall and straight, he doesn't look very feminine. On the contrary, he has a kind of mysterious beauty that men and women can't argue.

He went forward to offer incense to Qin lie, and then made a salute to Qin lie, who knelt next to him.

"Second master Qin, please forgive me."

Qin Chong looked up at him. He was surprised by his extraordinary beauty, and then asked tentatively, "are you?"

"My surname is Pei."

The four simple words aroused thousands of waves in Qin Zhong's heart.

Qin Chong slowly opened his eyes: "are you the Pei childe my brother said?"

"It's me."
