Chapter 2103 You old dog Qin!
The main room was deathly silent at that moment.
Unlike the tense and awe-inspiring atmosphere in the backyard, here was a frozen silence, a result of extreme shock.
The four old men were no longer the anxious, worried, or composed strategist they had been before.
They stood frozen by the window like four clay sculptures under a spell, their eyes wide open, staring intently at the scenes outside that were beyond their expectations.
When Qin Ruobai made her dashing entrance, they nodded, thinking that this girl, despite being a woman, was quite charismatic.
Five young Qin family officers filed in, their murderous aura causing them to be moved. Jiang Huaiyuan even muttered a low shout of "Good lad!" Yu Haoran stopped stroking his beard, and Song Qiankun's eyes flashed with a sharp light.
As Senior Colonel Qin Taihang calmly and steadily entered, his presence as imposing as a deep pool and a towering mountain, their expressions changed, and they exchanged incredulous glances.
Navy Senior Captain!
In peacetime, especially in the area of Yanjing, they were all too aware of the energy and significance this weight represented!
When Qin Anling, bearing the marks of a general and with a scar on his brow, stepped into the backyard like a pillar of strength, the entire courtyard seemed to submit to him.
"hiss!"
"My God!"
"Why is this kid back?"
The three old men gasped in unison, letting out an unconscious gasp of astonishment.
Jiang Huaiyuan dropped the purple clay teapot on the table with a clatter, spilling tea all over the table, but he didn't even notice.
Yu Haoran's swaying beard almost caused several hairs to be pulled out in his excitement.
On Song Qiankun's face, which was usually impassive, the muscles twitched slightly, and his eyes were filled with shock.
Qin'anling Mountains!
The eldest son of Qin Zongheng!
Commander of the Tianfu Military Region Field Army!
They knew that the Qin family was a military family, and they also knew that Qin Zongheng's sons were all in the army and held high positions!
Knowing about it is one thing, but to actually see this general, who is only seen in military newspapers and can be called a pillar of the country, personally leading his family of officers to make such a powerful and undisguised appearance for Li Xitang's full moon celebration, or rather, to support his nephew-in-law Li Xiangnan... that is a completely different matter!
This is more than just providing support!
This involved deploying a small army to maintain order!
This is the most naked and domineering warning and crushing blow to all restless forces!
The three old men instinctively turned their gazes to Qin Zongheng, who was standing on the other side of the window, equally dumbfounded!
Qin Zongheng's feelings at this moment were a hundred times more complicated than the other three!
shock?
Of course!
He had no idea his son and grandson would be coming back today!
I had no idea they would appear in this way!
Anling, as the commander of a major military region, is self-disciplined in his actions. Why would he bring such a large group of officers here?
There are also the Taihang Mountains, pine and birch trees, Yunnan elm trees, catalpa and fir trees, the Huai River, the Jingchuan River...
Good heavens, almost all three generations of young men have arrived!
This formation is even more impressive than when he returned home from war while ill!
But beyond the shock, there was also surprise and a sense of realization.
He understood instantly!
This wasn't about him, the old man, or even entirely about Xiao Xitang's full moon celebration.
This is because of his granddaughter's husband, Li Xiangnan!
It all stems from today's turmoil, which is clearly targeting the Li family!
Qin Zongheng knew his children and grandchildren all too well.
They might return to offer congratulations out of family ties, but they would never easily use their military status and power to intervene in such civilian disputes, let alone make such a high-profile collective appearance!
Unless... they feel it is absolutely necessary, that Li Xiangnan is worth doing this for, and that today's events have crossed their bottom line.
The safety of their families, and the order and peace they cherish!
"Good lads...good lads!" Qin Zongheng muttered to himself, his expression shifting before settling into a complex mix of astonishment, relief, and deep emotion.
He looked out the window at Li Xiangnan, who remained upright and composed like a mountain amidst the Qin family's sons, his eyes filled with admiration!
"Ruo Bai, that girl, has really found an amazing grandson-in-law for this old man..."
Just then.
"Oh!"
Jiang Huaiyuan was the first to wake up. He turned around abruptly, took a step in front of Qin Zongheng, and without saying a word, punched Qin Zongheng on the shoulder with considerable force, his punch filled with the excitement of venting his frustration.
"You old dog Qin! Damn it, you've been hiding this for a long time! Anling is so capable, but you didn't tell me anything! Damn it, you're really something! You should have told me sooner, or I would have almost rushed out to fight that evil monk!"
He was half telling the truth and half lying; he was genuinely excited, but also genuinely afraid.
Just imagine how embarrassing it would have been if he had actually rushed out and risked his reputation to intimidate that little demon monk, and tried to steal the spotlight from the Qin family's group of evil spirits!
Yu Haoran also walked over. Although he didn't make a move, his face showed lingering shock, and his voice trembled slightly: "Zongheng, you too... I don't even want to scold you anymore! You... you really kept this from us for so long!"
"If we had known the Qin family was so powerful, why would we be here so anxious and restless?"
He recalled how he had previously helped analyze the situation and worried about the safety of the Li family, but now it seemed like he was just worrying unnecessarily!
With the Qin family as an impregnable Great Wall, any little Buddha or demonic monk who dares to extend their claws is courting death. They'd better hurry up and reincarnate!
Song Qiankun calmed down a bit, but couldn't help patting Qin Zongheng's other shoulder, sighing, "Old Qin, I'm not saying this to be mean, but the entourage your family is making... is a bit too intimidating! Anling even came in person, this... is no longer a family matter, this is a blatant display of strength! But..."
He looked out the window, his eyes sharp. "To deal with these lawless demons and monsters who use evil magic and sorcery to bewitch people and threaten their lives, we should use such swift and decisive methods! It feels so good, so damn good!"
Surrounded by his old friends, Qin Zongheng was being both hit and complained about. He gave a wry smile, took a step back, rubbed his sore shoulders, chuckled twice, and waved his hand.
"I'm telling you, please stop for a moment! If you say I deliberately didn't tell you, that's completely wrong! I really don't know anything about what happened today!"
"???"
The room fell silent the moment those words were spoken!
The three old men turned their heads in unison to stare at Qin Zongheng. Seeing the extremely sincere and serious expression on his face, they were all astonished and swallowed hard, then burst into laughter.
"What? You didn't know about what happened today?"
"You didn't know a word that your son and grandson had both returned?"
"Old Qin, you're not kidding, are you? You didn't know about this? How did they get back?"
The three of them paused abruptly, then all looked out the window and saw a young man standing there calmly. They felt a chill run down their spines.
The appearance of Qin family soldiers—was that kid's doing too?
Oh my god!
