Chapter 750: Great Wisdom Appears as Foolishness (Part )

"Bang, bang, bang!"

"Brother Qin, Brother Tiger and Brother Leopard are here."

"Come in!"

Accompanied by a somewhat lazy response, the door was slowly pushed open, and Zhang Shun led Qin Hu and Qin Bao, who looked suspicious, into the private room.

"Meet the master!"

Although they were extremely disdainful of Qin Ku, Qin Hu and Qin Bao still knelt down respectfully to pay their respects out of courtesy.

"Come, sit down and have some tea!"

Qin Ku enthusiastically invited the two to the table, which made Qin Hu and Qin Bao, who didn't know the truth, wonder in their hearts. The two pairs of eyes looked around in the private room, as if they were looking for something.

"What are you looking for?" Qin Ku asked jokingly to Qin Hu and Qin Bao, who were secretly thinking about something, while signaling Zhang Shun to pour tea and water, "Are you looking for the beauty from Persia?"

"This..." Qin Hu was stunned and laughed dryly, "We two have never seen much of the world, and we really want to see the beauty of this exotic woman. Haha..."

"I'm a little tired today, so I'm afraid I can't enjoy the exotic customs." Qin Ku picked up a cup of tea and handed it to Qin Bao, whose eyes were wandering, and said with a half-smile, "You have been following me closely these past few days... You've worked hard!"

When Qin Bao subconsciously went to take the teacup, he happened to hear Qin Ku's last words, and his heart tightened immediately, and the hand holding the teacup trembled uncontrollably. Fortunately, Qin Ku held it in time, otherwise the cup of tea would have been knocked over by Qin Bao.

"Why are you panicking?" Qin Ku smiled meaningfully, "A teacup is like a rice bowl, you must hold it well. Once it is knocked over, you will regret it."

"What the Patriarch taught me is..."

"I haven't seen my three uncles for almost a month." Qin Ku recalled, "Do you know how they are doing?"

"Thanks to the master of the house, the first, second and third masters are all well."

"Well! Since we have nothing to do tonight, why don't we go home and have a good chat with the three uncles? I heard... Hexi has been a bit unsettled lately?"

"hiss!"

These words shocked Qin Hu and Qin Bao. They looked at Qin Ku in surprise, and wanted to dissuade him, but they could not find a suitable reason.

When Qin Ku saw the strange reactions of Qin Hu and Qin Bao, he immediately understood what was going on and was certain that these people must be hiding a lot of things from him.

But he did not expose it in public. Instead, he pretended to be frank and urged: "What are you standing there for? Get your horses ready!"

After saying that, Qin Ku stood up unsteadily and walked towards the door accompanied by Zhang Shun.

"Wait a minute!" Qin Hu had no time to think at this critical moment, and subconsciously spoke to stop him, "The master cannot return to the mansion..."

Hearing this, Qin Ku paused and asked without turning his head, "What did you say?"

"What I mean is... the head of the family finally came out to have fun, and he must have a good time tonight..."

"I just said that I'm a little tired today and want to go back and rest early."

"If the master is tired, why not rest in Cuixiang Tower?" Qin Hu suggested, "Cuixiang Tower is fully equipped with jade beds and brocade quilts, and we can also find a few beauties to serve you..."

"Asshole!" Qin Ku's tone sank and he scolded, "Qin Hu, do you know who you are talking to?"

"I……"

"You keep stopping me from returning home. What's your intention?" Qin Ku didn't give Qin Hu and Qin Bao a chance to explain. "You guys are hesitant and hesitant. What's going on? Is there something fishy going on in the Qin Mansion or are you guys hiding something?"

"Master, please calm down. The masters are not at home tonight, so we..."

"Qin Bao!" Seeing Qin Bao's straightforwardness, Qin Hu's face changed and he interrupted him hastily, "Master and his men are just checking the accounts of the Qin family's businesses as usual. Why should the head of the family worry about such a trivial matter?"

"That's right!" Qin Bao realized that he almost said something wrong, so he agreed, "We are worried about disturbing the owner's interest, so we didn't let him go back to avoid a wasted trip."

"Check the accounts?" Qin Ku turned slowly, looked up and down at Qin Hu and Qin Bao with a suspicious look, and sneered, "Qin Da, Qin Er, and Qin San are all warriors who can't read a single word. They check the accounts? Can they tell which are the account books and which are the invoices?"

"This..." "Do you really think I'm a three-year-old kid? You made up such a ridiculous excuse to fool me!" Qin Ku said sarcastically, "The Qin family has many literate scholars, it's not their turn to check the accounts. What's more, since our ancestors founded the Qin family, the sect has always been the sect, and the business has been the business. Men are responsible for external affairs, and women are responsible for internal affairs. All businesses are managed by the Qin family's relatives. When do we need the 'Three Heroes of the Qin Family' to take care of business matters? Although I have been away for many years, I still know some of the rules set by our ancestors. Checking the accounts according to the rules? Whose rules are they following? Whose accounts are they checking?"

"This……"

"Speak!" Qin Ku shouted without warning, and immediately frightened Qin Hu and Qin Bao so much that they trembled. "Where did Qin Da and the others go? Is it related to Liu Xunyi? Are you the ones who deliberately spread the rumors that are spreading in the Hexi area today?"

Qin Ku asked three questions in a row, and every question hit the nail on the head. Qin Hu and Qin Bao were immediately shocked and terrified. For a moment, their eyes were empty and their faces were ashen.

"bass!"

Seeing that the two men remained silent, Qin Ku's eyes suddenly became fierce, and he drew his sword from its sheath. The cold and intimidating long sword pointed directly at Qin Hu and Qin Bao.

"Don't think that I won't kill you just because you and I are from the same clan!" Qin Ku said word by word, "What I hate most in my life is that people treat me like an idiot! Your little tricks are far from enough to deceive me."

As if they sensed the fierce killing intent of the Changkong Knife, or that Qin Ku's threat was no joke, Qin Hu and Qin Bao's legs softened at the same time, and they collapsed to the ground one after another, staring at the angry Qin Ku with tangled eyes, and tears flowed from their eyes unconsciously.

In their impression, Qin Ku usually had a amiable or cynical and playful face. It was rare to see someone as cruel, cold-blooded and ferocious as he is today.

Yes! In recent months, Qin Ku has been showing the image of a lazy and dissolute young man. So much so that Qin Hu, Qin Bao and even most of the Qin family disciples have gradually forgotten that he is not only a playboy who plays with bees and butterflies, fights cocks and runs dogs, but also a "ghost-seeing worry" who kills people without hesitation and with ruthless means.

Since he took over the Qin family, he often behaved like a mediocre person who was afraid of death and loved leisure, which made people gradually forget his shocking deeds of slaughtering Qin Tianjiu at the martial arts conference and ambushing Qin Ming in Luoyang City.

Qin Ku’s “mediocrity” does not mean he is really mediocre or incompetent, but rather a life attitude in which he enjoys life while he can and has no intention of competing for fame and fortune.

"I won't take any soft or hard words. It's no use crying to death!" Qin Ku ignored the tears of Qin Hu and Qin Bao and laughed contemptuously, "Grown men crying makes me look down on you even more."

"Master, we are not crying because we are afraid of death, but because we are... disappointed." Qin Hu choked up and said, "For an unrelated outsider, you actually disregarded the rise and fall of your own family, and even... drew your sword against your own brothers?"

"Bullshit!" Qin Ku seemed to be touched on the reverse scale, and immediately flew into a rage, "What bullshit family rise and fall? What bastard relatives and brothers? Now that I am in power, do you know that I am a relative brother? But when my father was wronged, our family was expelled from the Qin Mansion, and I lost my parents and lived on the streets, where were my relatives and brothers? At that time, my relatives not only did not give me a little help, but also helped the tyrant, and teamed up with Qin Ming to hunt me down everywhere, causing me to hide like a stray dog ​​for more than ten years. At that time, those who were willing to give me a bite of food to eat and a piece of clothing to wear were all "outsiders" in your mouth, and those who repeatedly saved my life were also "outsiders" in your mouth. Now, how dare you mention the "rise and fall of the family" in front of me, and how dare you call yourself my "relative brother"? The only feeling I have for the Qin family is my father's loyalty to the Hexi Qin family. If it weren't for his face and to fulfill his last wish, I wouldn't be interested in being a bullshit head of the family!"

"Qin Ku, what do you think of the Hexi Qin family?" Qin Hu glared with a pair of scarlet eyes and refuted, "The Qin family is a prominent family in Hexi, and it is the foundation and lifeline for the survival of hundreds of Qin family disciples. Since you sit on the position of the head of the family, you should put the overall situation first, take the life and death of the Qin family disciples as your own responsibility, and work hard for the honor, disgrace, rise and fall of the Qin family! Qin Ming may be a traitor who usurped power, but when he was in charge of the Qin family, he was never as extravagant and abusive as you, the orthodox heir, was ignorant, content with the status quo, and unwilling to make progress! In this way, when the old patriarch was alive, he expelled your family from the Qin Mansion for being mediocre and mortal, and made an exception to let Qin Ming succeed to the position of the head of the family. It was really a wise decision that could not be wiser..."

"What did you say?" Qin gnashed his teeth in hatred, and the long-range knife fell on Qin Hu's neck with a "whoosh". "You can insult me, but if you dare to tarnish my parents, I will tear you into pieces and grind your bones to ashes!"

"Master, please calm down. Qin Hu just spoke carelessly. You must not take it to heart!" Qin Bao was so confused that he kowtowed to Qin Ku and begged for mercy.

"Brother Qin, you are all family, why do you have to make things so awkward..."

"Get lost! You have no right to interrupt here!" Qin Ku scolded Zhang Shun away without even turning his head. The sharp blade pressed against Qin Hu's throat mercilessly, and a trace of bright red blood immediately flowed out. "Qin Hu, if you have the guts, say it again!"

"Am I wrong?" Qin Hu ignored Qin Bao's eyes, not only did he not restrain himself, but he held his head high and was righteous. "Qin Ming may be a traitor, but the Qin family owes all to this traitor who saved the times and worked hard to make it what it is today! The Hexi Qin family is famous in the world because of three generations of hard work. Qin Ming's efforts are no less than those of the ancestor Qin Gang. Even if you are in power today, you cannot erase the great contributions Qin Ming has made to the Hexi Qin family! Qin Ku, you are obsessed with pleasure and degenerate, so why do you want to drag the entire Qin family to be buried with you? You hate Qin Ming and Qin Tianjiu, but the hundreds of Qin family disciples have no grudges against you. When Qin Ming was killing you, many of the disciples were still young, or even not born yet, so why did you harm them? What is the difference between what you do and what Qin Ming did back then? Do you know how much hard work the first, second, and third masters have put in private to make up for the heinous mistakes you made?"

"What do you mean?" Perhaps because Qin Hu's heartfelt words touched his soft spot, Qin Ku's vicious eyes gradually softened. At this moment, he was confused and tangled, and said in a tangled way: "What hard work did they put in? Explain it clearly!"

"Because of your words, no one in the Qin family dared to have any bad intentions towards Liu Xunyi, and thus offended the Wulin Alliance Leader and the various factions in the martial arts world. Don't you really feel any guilt in your heart?" Qin Hu questioned, "Do you know that the Wulin Alliance Leader has a grudge against us and threatened to bring an army to bear against us after killing Liu Xunyi. With the current strength of the Qin family, facing the crusade of the Wulin Alliance Leader and the various factions in the martial arts world, how long do you think we can last?"

"This is just a bunch of nonsense!" Qin Ku scolded, "I just met Wudang's top disciple Zheng Songren. He asked for peace with me on behalf of Qingfeng. How could he be 'holding a grudge' or 'raising an army to punish'? Who told you these unfounded rumors?"

"What?" Qin Hu and Qin Bao were both stunned. They looked at each other, doubtful and at a loss for words.

"What's going on?" Qin Ku noticed a clue and asked impatiently, "Who did Qin Da and the others meet these days? Are they the masterminds behind the news released today? In fact, Liu Xunyi is not in Xijing Prefecture at all, right? Tell me quickly, where did they go?"

"This……"

"You idiots acted on your own and were taken advantage of without even realizing it. Instead, you treated me, the head of the family, as a bad guy and kept me on guard. I was kept in the dark." Qin Ku was furious and pressed his long sword against Qin Hu's throat again. "If you dare to hide anything again, I will chop off your pig head right now!"

"do not want!"

Qin Bao's tense heartstrings were stretched first. Was it out of awe for Qin Ku? Or out of worry for Qin Hu? He no longer cared about Qin Da's repeated instructions, and blurted out tremblingly: "Master, the master and his men rushed to the Weizhou Inn overnight. Right now... Liu Xunyi is hiding there."

……

　In the next few days, I will take advantage of the free time during the Spring Festival to visit and meet with relatives and friends who have been silent for a year. I may not be able to sit at my desk and concentrate on creating, so I will take a few days off so that I can relax and feel free from worries, enjoy my mood, and relieve my sorrow.

　　During the Spring Festival, I wish you all good health and family happiness!
　　The rivers and lakes are quiet while the world is noisy. I work day and night but my heart is not fulfilled. Everyone, see you after the New Year...
