Today the East Prince's mansion in Yanjing is decorated with lanterns and colored banners. It is only early in the morning but outside the mansion there is already an endless stream of horses and carriages. All the rich and powerful families of the Chu kingdom, as well as the nobles and the descendants of the royal family, greet them warmly and enter the mansion with congratulatory gifts and invitations.
Today is the coming of age ceremony of Qin Yu, the 3rd son of the East Vanquishing Prince.
In the Qian Long continent, the importance of coming of age ceremonies and weddings is almost the same. In contrast, birthdays are not so important. At that time Qin Yu's 10th birthday was only slightly celebrated by some people in the mansion, but the coming of age ceremony is widely attended by invitations. Even the emperor of the Chu kingdom may come. 8 years ago, when Qin Yu's big brother Qin Feng had his coming of age ceremony, the emperor of the Chu kingdom, Xiang Guang, personally came to congratulate him.
Early in the morning, the 3 brothers Qin Feng, Qin Zheng and Qin Yu go to Qin De's room together to pay their respects to their father. The eldest of the 3 brothers, Qin Feng, is the tallest, about 1.9 m tall. He always has a cold aura around him and rarely smiles. He only smiles when facing his brothers. Qin Zheng and Qin Yu are about the same height.
"Your son pays his respects to father."
Seeing Qin De, the 3 brothers immediately kneel down on one knee to pay their respects.
Looking at his 3 sons in front of him, Qin De feels gratified. His 3 sons are all handsome and talented. The eldest son Qin Feng has entered the path of martial arts. Not only is he a general in the army, but he has also become a Xiantian expert last year and his reputation has spread far and wide. There are no more than 100 Xiantian experts in the entire Chu kingdom. Being able to become a Xiantian expert at the age of 23 can be considered extremely outstanding.
The second son Qin Zheng is more proficient in administration, politics and so on than Qin De himself. Now he is in charge of almost all the affairs of the 3 Eastern region counties, big or small.
As for the third son Qin Yu …
Qin De looks at Qin Yu. Seeing Qin Yu, he cannot help feeling a tinge of guilt in his heart.
"No matter how hard you practice external techniques, you can only reach the peak of the Houtian level at most. If you can't become a Xiantian expert, you will only be at the end of the road." Qin De secretly sighs. In his opinion, his 3rd son Qin Yu will not be able to achieve too much no matter how hard he works.
"If he can reach Yunxing's level, even though he is not a Xiantian expert, his attack power will be comparable to an early stage Xiantian expert. It's a pity that it will take 30 years. Yu 'er has only been cultivating for eight years. He still needs another twenty years. "
Unfortunately, Qin De did not know that Qin Yu's muscles could absorb qi, and his speed of improvement was much faster than what Zhao Yunxing had expected.
"Get up first." Qin De says with a smile. Then he looks at Qin Yu and says, "Yu 'er, today is your coming of age ceremony. It's a big day in your life. After today, you'll be an adult. You'll have to face everything by yourself."
"Don't worry, Father." Qin Yu nodded and smiled.
Facing life on his own? As early as three years ago, Qin Yu took the Black Hawk to travel around alone. With the Black Hawk's speed, they almost visited the entire Chu Kingdom. After experiencing many things, Qin Yu already had his own understanding of life.
"Alright, there are already a lot of guests outside. Follow me to greet the guests." After saying so, Qin De takes the lead to go out. Qin Feng, Qin Zheng and Qin Yu also go out after him.
On that day, the East Vanquishing Prince's mansion is extremely noisy. Many nobles and rich people come to congratulate him. Of course, these people are absolutely respectful to the East Vanquishing Prince. There are 2 other princes who have the same level of power as the East Vanquishing Prince. One is the South Vanquishing Prince and the other is the North Vanquishing Prince.
The South Vanquishing Prince Mulan of the 3 Southern region counties comes to congratulate him personally. The North Vanquishing Prince Shangguan Hong of the 2 Northern region counties also comes to congratulate him personally. The 4 Western region counties are completely controlled by the royal Xiang clan. This time the emperor Xiang Guang does not come in person. He sends his younger brother Xiang Shuo to congratulate him instead.
Qin Yu does not know how many tables have been set up at the banquet. He does not know how many guests have come. But he knows one thing, which is that the gifts he has received fill up 2 rooms. It is easy to imagine how many guests there are. After all, the one holding the coming of age ceremony is the East Vanquishing Prince's heir.
The whole day is noisy. Late at night, when the guests have all left, the princely mansion is very quiet.
In a secret room,
Qin Yu has never been to this secret room before. At the moment it is already past midnight. There are only 5 people in the secret room: Qin De, Qin Feng, Qin Zheng, Qin Yu and Xu Yuan. Among the 5 people, except for Qin Yu who has a puzzled expression, the others all seem to know something in their hearts.
"Everybody, sit down first." Qin De takes the lead and sits down on an armchair. He waves his hand and says to the others. Qin Yu and the other 3 also sit down around that long table. Xu Yuan is still holding a fan. He slightly smiles at Qin Yu.
"Father, why did you ask me to come here?" Qin Yu asks. Even now he is still in a state of confusion.
Qin De nods calmly and says: "Yu 'er, haven't you always wondered what father is doing and what plan I'm carrying out? Indeed, I've been hiding a lot of things from you. Today, you're 16 years old and you've come of age. So I'll tell you some secrets. "
Qin Yu's eyes brighten at once.
He has long known that his father is carrying out some plans. He is also puzzled but Qin De has never told him. Now, listening to his father, it seems that there are still a lot of things that he does not know. Today, his father has finally decided to tell him.
"Yu 'er, do you know whether there was a dynasty that unified the entire Qian Long continent in the history of the Qian Long continent?" Qin Yu asks.
Qin Yu says with a smile: "Of course. A long time ago, the Qian Long continent was always scattered. It was not until 1000 years ago that the entire Qian Long continent was unified like never before. It was the Qin dynasty that unified the entire Qian Long continent. Even now, the great name of Qin Shi Huang, Ying Zheng, is still reverberating like thunder. Unfortunately, the Qin dynasty was too short. It fell apart 100 years after unification. The Ying clan of the Qin dynasty was also completely wiped out. "
Qin De slightly nods and says: "Today, the first secret I'll tell you is … our Qin clan is the direct descendant of Qin Shi Huang!"
Qin Yu feels as if his head has been struck by a thunderbolt. For a moment, he is stupefied.
After a long time, Qin Yu becomes slightly clear-headed. He looks at his father in disbelief. Then he looks at his big brother, second brother and Uncle Xu Yuan. However, everyone is looking at Qin Yu. Qin Yu completely understands the meaning in their eyes.
"Isn't the direct descendant of Qin Shi Huang surnamed Ying?" Even though Qin Yu has some feelings in his heart, he still asks.
Qin De shakes his head and says with a sigh: "After the Qin dynasty was destroyed, the whole world hunted down the Ying clan. How could we still dare to be surnamed Ying? We changed our surname to Qin to remind us not to forget that our ancestor is Qin Shi Huang. Yu 'er, you should know that our Qin clan's heirloom technique was not originally called Ancestral Dragon Technique. It was called First Emperor Ancestral Dragon Technique. Yu 'er, remember, the blood flowing in the veins of our Qin clan is the same as that of Qin Shi Huang. "Qin De's eyes emit sharp rays of light.
