MTL - I Am Invincible After Awakening the Superman Gene-Chapter 148 Countdown to Fate's Withering

  Chapter 148 The Countdown to Withering Fate

   One night without words, the next morning.

  The entire imperial capital suddenly fell into an inexplicable boiling state.

  Both sides of the main road are full of pedestrians, forming a long queue, both men and women are looking forward to it, with burning eyes fixed on the end of the long street.

  It is now, half past nine in the morning.

  According to the past, people should sit in the office and work hard, and go to work with peace of mind.

  It can be seen, but it is such an extremely abnormal scene.

   Moreover, although the street was crowded with people, it was not as noisy as imagined, and the noise made by the crowd was extremely small.

  They spontaneously organized such a welcome ceremony. As for who is welcoming, I am afraid there is no need to say more.

  Everyone knows it.

   Who else can appear at this time, except Xia Zu who returned from the border?

  At the end of the main road, a black shadow suddenly appeared. The shadow gradually expanded in people's sight, and a dark armed off-road vehicle slowly approached.

  The car has a distinct battlefield style, with a strong atmosphere of iron and blood, and is extremely rough.

  Xia Zu was sitting in the co-pilot position of the off-road vehicle, with his arms folded in front of his chest, his face extremely calm, and his eyes staring straight ahead with cold eyes.

  Just sitting there, he brought people an indescribable sense of security. It seemed that as long as he was there, Daqin would be able to prosper.

  Xiazu already possessed an almost invincible image in everyone's mind.

   A lone army broke into the enemy's formation, beheaded with one enemy and three strong, conquered the lost county, and forced Qi to retreat to the defense line...

   These piles, one piece, which one is not extremely brilliant?

   Which one is not outstanding in record!

   After a brief silence, everyone suddenly became excited.

  Wan Qian stared at Xia Zu, closely following the slow-moving off-road vehicle, everyone had bright smiles on their faces, and shouted in unison:

   "Champion! Champion! Champion!!"

   This was a sound wave gathered by tens of thousands of people, which spread to almost every corner of the imperial capital, enough to shatter the sky, and the momentum was overwhelming.

  Xia Zu's prestige soared to the peak at this moment, and his status in the hearts of the people was very high.

  However, Xia Zu himself didn't show any expression. He didn't get excited because of this, his face remained the same, and even his movements didn't change a bit.

   Inside and outside the car, it seems like two worlds.

  All the clamor and voices have nothing to do with him, and the support and worship of the people seem to be not him at all.

  But it is this kind of indifferent attitude that makes people more excited.

  Sufficient sense of distance sometimes makes people feel unattainable, forcibly elevating the status of the other party in their minds.

   And, it fits their imagination.

  An iron-blooded general who has been fighting on the border for many years should have this indifferent appearance.

  If Xia Zu is smiling, amiable, and approachable, is he really a general?

K…

  But when the word "maybe" appeared, the seeds of doubt were buried in people's hearts, waiting to take root and germinate in the future.

  Suspicions arose and charges were established.

exactly.

   And the other side at this time.

  Qin Mo, who was hanging on the roof of the Security Bureau, was watching the scene on the main road from afar.

  He also had the same expressionless face and indifferent eyes. The only difference was that he was standing with his hands behind his back and did not cross his chest.

  Looking at Xia Zu who was swaying slowly towards the royal restricted area, and listening to the excited cries of the people coming from all directions, Qin Mo knew clearly:

  The last night's temporary remedy by the five members completely failed.

   Public opinion has not reversed, not even a little pull.

  The major news media reported overwhelmingly the news about Xia Zu, the hero of the Great Qin Dynasty. Only in the corner of the corner, there were some unfavorable reports about the Xia family.

  Yes, it is not the Great Qin God of War, but the Great Qin Hero.

  The hero who forced Qi to retreat and saved the people of a county from fire and water.

  As for the counterattack of the five masters, it seems to be a splash.

  A small drop of water splashed in the vast sea.

   No one noticed, let alone cared.

  The power that the royal family has accumulated for a long time has been hidden, and now it is completely detonated, which is really terrifying.

"hehe."

  Qin Mo pulled the corners of his mouth, showing a sarcasm smile, and there was a strange look in the depths of his eyes.

  Afterwards, he withdrew his gaze, returned to the office from the roof, and sat back in his familiar position.

  He was still the same as before, bathed in the dazzling sunlight, accumulating the energy of the sun bit by bit, and continued to strengthen his own strength.

  Strength is the foundation of everything.

  Qin Mo never forgot this.

   And there was nothing he could do now, except to wait.

  Since the situation has reached this stage, let's see how much the five great families can exert in the next court meeting.

  If they can't do it, that's for sure.

  So, time passed quietly in this long wait.

  This parliament started later than in the past, and the convening time was longer.

  Qin Mo waited until 12:30 noon before he received a call from Qingyang Li.

  He pressed the call button casually, put the phone to his ear, and only heard the voice of Li Muye from the other end of the phone.

   "Qin Mo, the Huangquan operation can come to an end. The previous plans for the Gaoling Xia Clan need to be temporarily changed. The Security Bureau should stop all operations first." Li Muye said slowly.

  Hearing this, Qin Mo raised his eyebrows, his eyes twinkling slightly.

  He was silent for a few seconds, and asked instead: "Temporary change... about how long?"

   "Hmm... maybe three to five months, or maybe a year or so. The exact time is still unclear. I need to see the follow-up."

   Three to five months?

   A year and a half?

Ah!

   It goes without saying what such a long time span represents.

  Qin Mo is not a fool, he can understand the hidden meaning in Li Muye's words, just listen to him continue to ask:

   "What happened in today's court meeting?"

  Hearing this, a long and helpless sigh came from the other end of the phone.

   "Alas...Qin Mo, the Li family in Qingyang has done their best, and I hope you won't create any suspicion because of this.

  After the convening of the Chaotang Council, His Majesty changed his usual gentle attitude, and he was the first to win over others when he came up. He wanted to reward people for their merits, and those officials from various departments who were usually silent did the same, and began to speak in agreement.

  The five of you had no choice but to agree, and after the meritorious deeds and rewards were over, His Majesty began to count Xia Zu's glorious achievements again, never mentioning anything about Ling Xia's affairs.

  His Majesty has made it clear that he wants to cover up with merit, and we have completely lost the battle of public opinion, so we have no choice but to make corresponding compromises.

   If you want to know the specific details, you can ask Li Mou. He is currently negotiating with the spokespersons of the other four major families, and it should be over in a short time. "

   Li Muye's voice fell to the ground, but Qin Mo didn't speak for a long time.

   After about a minute, he just answered:

   "Don't worry, Li Shi of Qingyang has the helplessness of Li Shi of Qingyang. I won't forget how Li Shi treated me before because of this."

   "That's good, your talent is rare in all ages, just wait a few more years, and you will definitely become the most dazzling star in this era, and a temporary setback is nothing.

   Moreover, Qingyang Li will never treat you badly, and will give you enough compensation in this matter. "

   Li Muye said solemnly, his tone was full of sincerity, without any trace of falsehood.

  Qin Mo can hear it, but now he doesn't want to worry about it.

  He replied casually, then hung up the phone, and continued to sit on the chair basking in the sun, his expression as usual.

   This continued until two hours later, when Li Mou opened the door of his office.

  He first saluted Li Tiangang who was lying in the corner when he entered the door, and then sat opposite Qin Mo with a gloomy face.

   Seeing his appearance, Qin Mo raised his eyebrows, but did not speak.

  The atmosphere in the office quietly began to change, and gradually fell into a long-lasting silence, and a needle could be heard.

  Li Mou poured himself a cup of tea, no matter whether it was cold or hot, he directly raised his head and drank it, pouring it into his stomach.

  His current complexion is unprecedentedly ugly, and he is in an extremely bad mood.

  But Li Mou finally let out a long sigh, and took the lead in speaking slowly:

   "There is no other way."

  Every word and sentence is full of deep exhaustion and helplessness that cannot be concealed.

   Seeing this, Qin Mo no longer kept silent. He leaned over to pick up the teapot, added a cup of new tea to Li Mou's cup, and asked softly at the same time:

   "So, are all the previous efforts going to waste?

  I said, brother, Huang Quan’s operation has reached the final step, so it can’t just be so anticlimactic and fall short, right?

   Just because of this trick used by the royal family? "

  Qin Mo's exposed expression finally changed. He and Li Mou knew each other the first time, and the two had similar temperaments.

  Therefore, when he saw Li Mou, he was no longer as indifferent as before, and revealed a little bit of his true inner thoughts.

  Unfortunately, in the face of his inquiry, after Li Mou was silent, he could only nod helplessly.

  To be honest, he could see that Qin Mo was not reconciled in his heart, and still didn't want to give up.

   But things have come to this point, no matter how many thoughts you have, they are all useless. Apart from adding troubles to yourself, there is no use at all.

  Li Mou picked up the new cup of tea that Qin Mo gave him, and explained slowly:

   "If there was a choice, no one would be willing to arrange it like this, but at this time, we must give up.

  Gaoling Xia Clan has already died a lot of people. The whole family can be said to be in disarray, with less than one-twelfth of the remaining strength. From this point of view, Operation Huangquan has been considered a success. "

   "What about Xia Zu?"

  Qin Mo asked directly, without hiding his inner thoughts, he continued:

   "Xia Mei and Xia Dongfang, and even Xia Xuan, are just obeying orders. The real culprit is not dead, and even lives better than before. How can this be considered a successful operation?"

   "Qin Mo, Xia Zu can't be touched now.

  Once any action is taken against Xia Zu, the first thing to bear is the anger of thousands of people, and the second is the backlash of the border army, and there may be a mutiny.

  Although the Five Families have a lot of forces deployed on the border, there are not even tens of thousands of bloodlines belonging to the Five Families, and more of them are ordinary soldiers.

  They are just like those fanatical fools in the imperial capital, they respect Xiazu more than anything else in their hearts.

  Xiazu now has both the hearts of the people and the hearts of the army. It is true that he cannot be moved for the time being. There is really no way. "

  Li Mou's narration can be described as very detailed, with a faint sense of earnestness.

  He is the person who knows Qin Mo best. He knows what kind of temperament Qin Mo is, and he is afraid that he will do something that he regrets on impulse.

  Therefore, after finishing the sentence, before Qin Mo could speak, Li Mou immediately said:

   "However, His Majesty didn't completely ignore it. The royal family was afraid of the combined power of the five families, so they made some setbacks to make up for it."

   "I don't think the word compensation is appropriate. A dark exchange of benefits is more suitable." Qin Mo interrupted suddenly.

  Li Mou was blocked by his words, and then a look of embarrassment flashed across his face, and he lowered his head slightly and said:

   "It's okay if you understand it this way. Where there are people, there will be benefits. Regression and exchange are just means.

   In about half a month or so, Xia Zu will be promoted from the champion to the sixth Duke of the Great Qin with his monstrous military achievements, breaking the monopoly of the five great masters on this seat for thousands of years.

  He will re-establish the Gaoling Xia Clan, but he will not choose to whitewash the Xia Clan, and will admit what the previous Xia Clan did.

  Of course, the Gaoling Xia clan is the Gaoling Xia clan, and Xia Zu is Xia Zu.

   At that time, it will be declared to the outside world that all this has nothing to do with him. He has been leading troops on the border all year round without knowing it. Everything is Xia Xuan's own thoughts.

   After the upsurge of public opinion during this period gradually subsides, these news will spread out before he is promoted to Duke. "

   Having said that, Li Mou paused for a while, and then continued to speak:

   "Xiazu's acknowledgment of this matter is equivalent to acknowledgment of Huangquan's operation, and you will still get the military merit you deserve.

  After the canonization of the duke of the state is over, His Majesty will personally announce to the world that you will be canonized as a first-class champion. Everything you should have will be given to you.

   At that time, you kid can follow the arrangement I told you before, go to the border to experience for a few years, and return to the imperial capital when the time is right.

  The Li family in Qingyang will find a way to support you as the seventh Duke of the Qin Dynasty. This process will not exceed five years at most, and you are still the youngest Duke in the history of the Great Qin Dynasty.

  Similarly, you will be the youngest king of Daqin, and no one can cover your dazzling brilliance..."

  Listening to Li Mou's words, Qin Mo's eyes didn't fluctuate, as calm as a pool of stagnant water.

  Xia Zu was promoted to Duke, and the royal family got help. The five families will inevitably have more interests in other aspects, so it is impossible to lose money.

   And Qin Mo can also be promoted from a second-class Guanneihou who has no real power at all and only has a title to a first-class champion in one fell swoop. He is comparable to a prince and has an infinitely bright future in the future.

   It seems that no one lost money, and everyone got what they wanted.

  From the perspective of the situation, this is obviously a win-win situation.

  But everything in the world should abide by the law of conservation. All things cannot be reduced out of thin air, and it is even more impossible to increase out of thin air.

  Where there is big, there will be small, and if there are many, there will be little. Some people will be born when they die, some will be free physically and mentally, and some will be trapped in a cage...

  If everyone gets benefits, then...

   Who lost money?

  Qin Mo squinted his eyes, his eyelids drooped casually, and all kinds of thoughts kept popping up in his heart, and he thought about it slowly.

   Seeing his appearance, Li Mou moved his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything, just sighed slightly, got up and said:

   "Think about it carefully. I need to deal with some things. I will come to you in the evening. Your sister-in-law will cook for you tonight and prepare a banquet at home. You must come."

   After finishing speaking, he frowned and glanced at Qin Mo again, then turned and left, and walked out the door.

  The office fell into silence again, only Li Tiangang and Qin Mo were there.

   Li Tiangang, who was staying in the shadowed corner, watched Qin Mo quietly, and did not choose to say some words of dissuasion or comfort at this time. He knew that Qin Mo had his own ideas.

   Judging from the short time we got along these few days, Qin Mo is an extremely self-disciplined person, and the self-discipline is even a bit scary.

   This means that he has a strong control over his body. On the other hand, it also shows that he has strong willpower, clear self-awareness, and clear ideas.

  Being a human being in two lives changed Qin Mo's attitude towards life.

   What remains unchanged is his character engraved in his bones.

  For a person like Qin Mo, once he decides what he wants to do, he will definitely do it unswervingly.

   Nothing other people say will have any effect, even if it is a very close relationship.

   Therefore, Li Tiangang chose to remain silent.

   The eerie silence continued.

  In the huge office, only the ticking sound of the clock hanging on the wall can be heard.

   One sound after another, like the countdown to the withering of fate, or the silent announcement of death.

  Qin Mo sat peacefully on the office chair for more than an hour.

  Then, he suddenly stood up from the chair, walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows, folded his hands behind his back, and silently watched the fiery red sun in the distant sky.

  The glaring sunlight shone obliquely on his body, completely dispelling the strands of darkness.

  Qin Mo's pupils reflected the reflection of the boundless sun, and there seemed to be light in his eyes.

  In his heart...he already has the answer.

  Boom boom boom!

  At this moment, someone knocked on the door of the office.

  The silent atmosphere was broken, Li Yuan pushed the door open, and she walked in with those long, tight legs.

   "Father asked me to go back to the manor to have dinner with you tonight, and I just wanted to see you, so I came here." Li Yuan said.

  As soon as she said this, Qin Mo immediately knew what Li Mou was thinking.

   Li Mou knew that he was extremely upset at this time, so he specially asked Li Yuan to watch him, making sure that he would go to Li's Manor tonight.

   Qin Mo couldn't say anything about it.

   In the final analysis, Li Mou is doing it for his own good. He really cares about Qin Mo, a friend who has forgotten his age, but because of his own status, he cannot avoid some responsibilities and must bear them.

   "Sit whatever you want, team leader." Qin Mo turned around and smiled.

   Seeing this, Li Tiangang in the corner immediately got up and walked out, very discerning.

  He doesn't have to protect Qin Mo personally anymore. After all, Qin Mo's strength is not weaker than him, and the difference between the two is not much. His short career as a guardian is over.

  The reason why he is still staying in the imperial capital is just to witness Qin Mo become the youngest king in history.

   After he left the office, Qin Mo and Li Yuan sat facing each other in front of the French windows, both of which habitually raised their legs.

  Although the relationship between the two is not the same as it was in the seventh group before, the relationship has not become unfamiliar because of this, but has become closer.

   Li Yuan blinked his eyes, quietly looked at Qin Mo's not-so-handsome face, and said softly:

   "Actually... Father made such a compromise, but it was really helpless."

   "I know." Qin Mo replied.

   "Well, as long as you know."

  Li Yuan nodded, and then continued: "No one thought that such a change would happen..."

   "I remember, team leader, you didn't like the millennium family before, right?"

  Before she finished speaking, Qin Mo suddenly interrupted her and asked like this.

  Hearing this, Li Yuan was slightly taken aback, and then said: "Yes, I am not happy with the actions of the five masters.

  Perhaps because they are in high positions all the year round, or because they have too much power in their hands, the five families seem to only have interests in their eyes, and they only think about the continuation of the family.

  For this purpose, they can do anything, tolerate all kinds of dark and **** transactions, and never care about other people's ideas. "

  Li Yuan squinted his eyes, looked at Yun Cai who was burned red by the sun outside the window, and said softly:

  "People often say that the five thousand-year-old families are like five unattainable mountains, which can only be looked up and in awe.

  But I don’t think so, I think the five people are more like five ferocious beasts showing their **** fangs, five ruthless machines that operate precisely…

  They cannibalize people without spitting out their bones, they are full of indifference and aloof. "

"what about now?"

  Qin Mo continued to smile and asked, "What is the team leader thinking now?"

  Hearing this, Li Yuan came back to his senses for a while, and after thinking about it in his heart, he said slowly:

   "Now, I still don't like the five great masters, but I have Qingyang Li's blood on my body. I have enjoyed the honor that Li has brought me, so I should take corresponding responsibilities.

  Perhaps, this is another kind of fairness. After all, my surname is Li, isn't it? "

  Li Yuan didn't know why Qin Mo asked this suddenly, but what she said now were all her true thoughts, without any adulteration.

  Qin Mo sat aside, quietly listening to her narration, and the faint smile on the corner of his mouth gradually became more intense.

   "My surname is not Li, and I don't need to bear such responsibilities."

  He said to himself in his heart.

   “I don’t like compromise much more.”

   He continued to himself.

   "I'm really upset right now."

   This is the third sentence Qin Mo said to himself, and his eyes became sharper, like two flying knives shining with cold light.

  What the Qingyang Li family scruples, he doesn't scruple.

  Chingyang Lee chose the road, he did not want to go.

  Everyone is compromising for the sake of interests, but some people have never obtained benefits at all, but they still have to choose to compromise.

   Everyone is a winner, so who is the loser?

   Whose interests have been unfairly violated?

   is the people.

   are the people of Daqin living in the imperial capital.

   It was the 1,280 people who died innocently on the morning bell train!

  They seemed to be forgotten by the world, forgotten by the five great families, forgotten by the royal family...

   But their families will not forget, their crying children, their gray-haired parents, their loved ones, will not forget.

   They need justice.

  They need someone to stand up and give them justice!

   And this person, Qin Mo wants to try it now.

  He let out a long breath, turned his head to look at Li Yuan, and asked with a smile:

   "Is there any smoke?"

  Hearing this, Li Yuan was stunned immediately, and a look of astonishment flashed in her eyes. She didn't know why Qin Mo asked such a question, but she...

   There is indeed smoke.

   After a brief daze, Li Yuan took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Qin Mo.

  Qin Mo took the hand, lowered his head and poured out one from it, put his index finger and **** to his mouth, covered his hand and lit the fire.

   "Hiss...Hoo..."

  Sparks were burning slowly, and clouds and mist shrouded in front of Qin Mo.

  The smoke covered his face, so that Li Yuan couldn't see his expression clearly, and didn't know what he was thinking right now.

  She only knew that the smile on Qin Mo's face was very strong, that's all.

  “In the past, I often wondered why people always choose to compromise, compromise their parents, compromise their wives, compromise the company’s leaders, compromise their current life…

  At that time, I couldn’t figure it out. It wasn’t until I saw this world in front of my eyes that I finally understood the reason.

   Compromise because there's nothing you can do about it.

   I have no ability, so when the dilemma comes, I have no choice but to be forced to do so.

  So, what is the purpose of practicing hard?

   Obviously, practice is supposed to be about uncompromising.

  The strength enough to be close to the body is to be able to stand up and say no loudly in the face of choices that you don't want to make.

   When adversity comes, break through it.

  When you can't do what you want to do, you can do whatever you want.

  This is the purpose of practice. "

   After finishing the sentence, a cigarette just burned out.

  The sparks are slowly extinguished, as if life has come to an end and is about to die.

  Qin Mo dropped the cigarette **** casually, stood up, and levitated in the air by himself.

  He looked down at Li Yuan, smiled and said:

   "Tonight's banquet, I will attend on time, don't worry."

   "But now, I'm going to seek justice for the innocent dead souls and kill a damned person."

   When the voice fell to the ground, Qin Mo ignored Li Yuan's astonished gaze, let out a breath of cold air, and imprisoned him in place.

  Afterwards, he floated out of the floor-to-ceiling window, and instantly spread out his super hearing, looking for Xia Zu's current location.

  The super brain was running rapidly, quickly analyzing and processing the information sent back from all directions. After about ten seconds, Qin Mo's mouth curled into a smile.

   "Oh, found you."

   After finishing speaking, Qin Mo burst out at the limit speed and disappeared in place in an instant!

  He wants to take a closer look today to see if this so-called Great Qin God of War, the invincible genius of the previous generation, is really invincible!

  He said it long ago.

  Xia Zu is the Duke of the state, he can't be it!

   I'm still coding
